Chapter 150, besieging the city and sealing the mountain
Jin Toad's heart sank, at this moment the golden dragon was killed in battle, the golden lizard and the golden snake were forced out of the city, he stayed in the city alone, and wanted to open the city gate, a little wishful thinking.
He decisively chose to retreat, spilling a poisonous mist and leaping towards the city.
Xue saw that he was not afraid of the poisonous mist at all, and Ling Feng stepped out, the speed was extremely fast, and he slammed his fist on the door of this person's face.
The black hood on his head had been removed, revealing an ugly face covered in pus.
The golden toad had rough skin and thick flesh, and only spit out a mouthful of blood, and then continued to retreat.
Xue Jian followed, and with lightning speed, he launched a fierce attack on him, and his fists and feet fell on him frantically.
But this man's defense is like a turtle in iron armor, and it is ridiculously hard.
In the end, Xue Jian didn't leave him behind, and Jin Toad carried his onslaught, fled to the city, and jumped down.
Hundreds of people had gathered under the city, and a dense stream of arrows was fired at the city, and catapults were thrown upwards with flints.
The huge siege chariots kept bombarding the gate, and the ladder was burned by Du Xiaoqing, but there were more people carrying the ladder forward.
One by one, the locks were thrown towards the city, hooked on the city, and many people were climbing up.
Even if the four Dharma Protectors ascended to the top of the city, they didn't get any bargains, and even one Golden Centipede Dharma Protector died, but they bought a lot of time for the others.
Now that Xue Jian and the others are going to stop it, they are already a little too busy.
One by one, the people of the Five Poisons Sect climbed up to the top of the city and rushed towards them, while some people crossed them and killed them at the bottom of the city.
These siege vanguards, not afraid of death, have only one goal, that is, to open the city gates and let the army enter the city.
Senhu was alone at the head of the city, stopping more than a dozen people alone, and Du Xiaoqing and Chen Shiwen stuck to the steps to climb the city wall.
But there were too many enemies, and more and more people climbed up the city and rushed down.
No matter how powerful they are, they can't control everyone.
At this moment, more than 100 brothers on the mountain, finally taking the guys, rushed down.
More than 100 people, in the past two months, have followed Xue Jian to cultivate every day, and their strength has greatly improved.
The most important thing is that under Xue Jian's strict requirements, they are no longer a plate of loose sand, unorganized and undisciplined bandits, but a team that can compete with the soldiers of the army.
A tragic battle began, and as soon as they came into contact, those people of the Five Poisons Sect were like window paper that could be broken with a single stab, and they were a lot inferior in terms of overall strength and combat quality.
Soon, the dozens of Five Poison Sect vanguard troops who rushed into the city were completely slaughtered.
Under the command of the leaders of their respective squads, two teams of twenty archers rushed to the head of the city and began to counterattack.
In addition, two teams of twenty people prepared fire oil and cannonballs, and threw them into the crowd below.
Condescendingly, they naturally had an offensive advantage, and in just a few moments, the first wave of attacks of the Five Poisons Sect was repulsed, and they suffered heavy casualties.
Many people could only hide under siege engines, braving fire oil and a rain of arrows to crash into the city gates.
They struck the gate more than twenty times, but it only shook and showed no sign of breaking it.
The remaining sixty or so people all climbed to the top of the city in an orderly manner and destroyed the ladders and locks.
The four Dharma Protectors watched this scene, and they all knew that they had lost the best opportunity of the wave, and now the time had come for the other party to fully counterattack, and if they forcibly attacked the city, they would only suffer more casualties.
"Withdraw first!"
The Golden Lizard Protector's face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water, he raised his head and stared at Xue Jian, gritted his teeth and said.
The four protectors turned and walked down the mountain, while the people behind them held their shields to block the rain of arrows and retreated.
This offensive did not last long, and the losses on both sides were not big or small.
It was just the death of a Dharma protector, and this incident was a very big blow to the morale of the Five Poisons Sect.
After the Five Poisons Sect withdrew, it set up camp on a mountain near Black Tiger Mountain, sealing off all roads down the mountain.
The siege of the city and the closure of the mountain, can not be stormed, so rely on hard drag, do not give any supplies to the people on the mountain, and wait until the mountain is exhausted of ammunition and food, naturally it will not be attacked.
This is the only way for them at the moment, in the first battle, in addition to the golden scorpion, the golden lizard, the golden snake and the golden toad are all injured, and it will also take time to heal.
On Black Tiger Mountain, although Xue Jian and the others repelled the first wave of attacks, no one felt that they should be happy, but they all looked heavy and worried.
After all, all the people on their mountain added up to just over a hundred, and the army of the Five Poison Sects under the mountain was more than a thousand people, ten times as many as them.
It is easy to defend according to the danger, and it is impossible to repel this army of 1,000 people.
Xue Jian and the others stood at the head of the city, looking at the chaotic battlefield below, there were people killed by random arrows, and corpses charred by fire oil, which had not yet been extinguished, and there was billowing black smoke.
Chen Shiwen personally led a group of people out of the city, began to clean up the battlefield, recovered the arrows that were not damaged, and included the siege equipment left over from the Five Poisons Sect in the city.
These things can be saved, and they can be used.
Xue Jian distributed the Da Huan Dan to those who were injured, as long as he didn't die on the spot and ate the Da Huan Dan, he could quickly recover his combat strength.
He thought very clearly, this would be a protracted battle, and unless the thousand people were defeated, the people of the Five Poison Sect would definitely not withdraw their troops.
And it's hard to say that the Five Poisons Sect won't send reinforcements over, or in other words, directly mobilize the army of the Southern Ming Empire.
The thought of this made him even more worried.
Towards night, the two spies sent out by Chen Shiwen quietly returned and told the story of the Five Poisons Sect encamped under the mountain and blocked all roads.
Hearing the news, Chen Shiwen said with a heavy face.
"They're trying to trap us until we run out of ammunition.
Although there is no shortage of food on the mountain, which is enough to support two or three years, if it goes on like this, the business of our chamber of commerce will not only be yellow, but also the morale of the brothers will be too great. ”
Xue Jian was silent for a moment and spoke.
"Let's wait a few days to see if they are determined to drag us to death, or if they are suspicious and let our guard down. ”
Chen Shiwen nodded, and personally led two teams of people to guard the city that night.
At the head of the city, everyone did not disperse, but set up a camp in the nearby open space, so as not to make a sudden attack by the people of the Five Poisons Sect, and they did not have time to support.
Seven days passed in a flash, and during these seven days, more than 100 people were waiting at the fortress halfway up the mountainside.
But the people of the Five Poisons Sect seem to be living a small life at the foot of the mountain, and there is no sign of going up the mountain.
Every day, spies went out to inquire about the situation in their military camp, and found that those people didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and they were determined to trap Black Tiger Mountain to death.
This made the people on the mountain feel fortunate and worried, and they were very conflicted.
What's more, more than 100 people put it on the mountain to live in a good village, crowded into the camp tent on the mountainside, and they couldn't sleep well, and after a long time, it was inevitable that people would be impetuous.
Another seven days have passed, and the people of the Five Poisons Sect have not yet acted, Xue Jian can't wait any longer, and that night, he and Mo Jiuweng sneaked down the mountain.
