Before each battalion acted, in order to deal with a possible battle, Li Muran allocated ten bed crossbows to each battalion. Although the shortcomings of the bed crossbow are obvious, its great power should not be underestimated, and it has now become the standard equipment of the main force in the army.

"Two platoons were drawn in a row to harass in the eastern section, two platoons were drawn in three companies to harass in the western section, and the middle section was our main direction of attack, and one company and two platoons plus 200 people from the platoon directly under the battalion were concentrated to quickly break through the enemy's city defense. After arranging the bed crossbow, Zhang Fenghao ordered loudly.

"Whoosh, whoosh......" The bed crossbow was fired first, and the huge arrows whizzed away.

The city wall without a complete talisman could not withstand the huge arrows fired by the bed crossbow, and the nearly long arrows easily nailed into the stone wall, causing pieces of rubble to fall, and the city wall seemed to tremble.

Occasionally, one or two arrows shot into the city, and the bodies of soldiers who couldn't dodge were directly pierced and even torn apart, turning into a blood mist.

"Bed crossbow, pay attention to dodge. An Yiwen shouted loudly.

Since Mu Tianxiang invented and used the bed crossbow in the Sun Moon Gorge, the bed crossbow has long been no secret, and the surrounding forces have some understanding, but due to the insurmountable huge defects of the bed crossbow, it has not attracted the attention of other forces.

An Yiwen saw that the casualties caused by the bed crossbow were not very large, but its huge power and destructive power still deeply shocked people's hearts, and the soldiers on the city trembled, curled up, and did not dare to raise their heads.

The bed crossbow was fired ten times in succession, and the city walls were scattered with huge arrows, and the soldiers at the head of the city did not dare to take their heads, and were completely suppressed. Seeing this scene, Zhang Fenghao shouted loudly: "Commando, charge!"

As soon as Zhang Fenghao's words fell, the soldiers who had been preparing for a long time rushed out like cheetahs. The soldiers did not form a neat queue, but formed groups of three or five to start running and assaulting.

"The enemy is coming!" shouted the soldier in charge of the lookout at the head of the city.

"Stand up and prepare to defend, the enemy's bed crossbow is not terrible, you see that most of the arrows are shot on the city wall, as long as you pay attention to dodge, the bed crossbow will not hurt you. An Yiwen shouted loudly, cheering up the soldiers.

The soldiers looked up and felt that what An Yiwen said also made sense, the bed crossbow was indeed the same as the legend, the launch was slow, the accuracy was too poor, as long as you paid attention to dodge. The soldier, relieved, slowly stood up.

"Archers ready, shoot!" shouted the herald on the rampart, seeing the enemy enter range.

"Whoosh......" arrows were thrown overwhelmingly.

An Yiwen found that the effect was not great, and Mu Tianxiang's army did not line up in a dense queue, but scattered to charge. As soon as the arrows came, the soldiers hid behind huge shields, and as soon as the rain of arrows passed, they immediately began to charge. With the exception of a few unlucky eggs, the dense rain of arrows did not cause many casualties.

There is also a gap in the firing of archers, taking advantage of the gap in the rain of arrows, Mu Tianxiang's army quickly assaulted, and the distance of three hundred zhang was quickly shortened, and the fast one had rushed to the bottom of the city wall. Entered the dead end of the bow and arrow.

After all, the three-zhang high city wall is not an ornament, and ordinary people can't jump on it. The surrounding generals asked An Yiwen strangely.

"Hurry up and clear the walls of the bed crossbow arrows. An Yiwen, who found the problem, shouted loudly.

An Yiwen found that it was not because of the accuracy of the bed crossbow that most of the arrows were fired on the city wall, but because Mu Tianxiang's army deliberately shot arrows on the city wall. The staggered arrows were nailed to the city wall in layers, and it became a strong support point, and the soldiers could easily climb to the top of the city.

It's late, it's late.

"Keep in battle formation, on!" Zhang Jun, who led the charge, shouted, bit a single knife in his mouth, jumped lightly, grabbed the huge arrow on the city wall, turned over and jumped on the city wall, other soldiers who cultivated high can jump on the city head with one borrowing strength, and ordinary soldiers can easily jump on the city head with two borrowing strength.

"Boom" Zhang Jun, who was dressed in heavy armor, fell like a stone at the head of the city.

"Kill!" Zhang Jun, who was holding a single knife in his hand, roared angrily, and the single knife quickly slashed at a soldier's body, splashing a rain of blood.

Zhang's army rushed left and right, quickly clearing an area, and later soldiers went up to the top of the city, gathered around Zhang's army, weapons in hand, and removed the shields tied to their backs. Quickly formed a battle formation.

"Crazy Zhang, you are on the left and I am on the right, how about seeing who destroys the most enemies?" shouted the commander of the third company, the same battle maniac.

"It's better than that, I'm afraid you'll not be able to ......," Zhang Jun shouted loudly.

"Kill!" Zhang Jun, who was dressed in heavy armor, slashed left and right, and rushed into the enemy formation.

Looking at the fierce and vicious Zhang Jun, the defenders were already cold, and they had no intention of resisting at all, so they scattered and fled.

An Yiwen found that ordinary soldiers could not resist the attack of Mu Tianxiang's army at all. It was the monk who went up, although he could resist it, but Mu Tianxiang's army had already predicted this.

As soon as the monk was discovered, the surrounding people immediately formed a group of three or five battle groups, and cooperated with the fight, and the monk was careless, and several were cut down one after another. Even those who could hold on were also besieged, and they couldn't get out for a while, so they waited for the monks of Mu Tianxiang's army to come up and cooperate with the battle team, and those who were cut down to the ground by dividing them by two.

An Yiwen was in a trance for a while, and the monk was like paper paste in front of the tightly coordinated battle array, and he couldn't reflect the power of cultivation at all.

The terrain at the head of the city is already narrow, and it is useless to have a large number of people, and there are only dozens of people who can really participate in the battle. Faced with the bloody scene of fierce fighting, the defenders, who were not good at psychological quality, soon collapsed.

"General An, withdraw, it's too late if you don't leave. The generals and soldiers around him who were already frightened kept persuading.

"In less than half an hour, our two thousand men were easily defeated by an enemy army of more than three hundred. An Yiwen shouted angrily.

The people around him lowered their heads in shame, but the situation was stronger than people, and the generals who were unwilling to be prisoners and did not want to die had no intention of fighting again. The footsteps kept retreating.

"Withdraw!" Looking at the frightened soldiers and generals around him, An Yiwen, who was powerless, said helplessly.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the order to retreat was given, and the defenders scattered in a hurry. They began to flee. Zhang Jun is trying to hunt down. was stopped by Zhang Fenghao, who had just arrived.

"Don't chase after the poor, why don't you have a long memory. Zhang Fenghao pointed at Zhang Jun's nose and scolded angrily.

"Didn't I confiscate my feet......" Zhang Jun muttered quietly.

"You are a battle maniac, a reckless man, and the next time you disobey orders and make assertions, your company commander will stop doing it, and you will be a big soldier for me. Zhang Fenghao scolded.

"That's it, the battalion commander is early, it's long overdue, this thing doesn't deserve to be a company commander at all!" the third company commander coaxed.

"The same goes for you. Looking at the third company commander who was covered in blood and was about to kill into a blood gourd, Zhang Fenghao said angrily.

"Look at other battalions, why am I so unlucky, I can'......t afford to worry about you two on the stall," Zhang Fenghao wailed.

"Those two goods are going to be the big soldiers, battalion commander, you are really willing to ......," the second company commander also coaxed.

"Get out......!"

......

The soldiers around him were holding back their laughter.

In the surrounding hills, the same thing was constantly happening in the passes, and the defenders did not hold out for even an hour, and in the face of the well-trained army, the defenders who were originally composed of routs had no intention of fighting, and the birds and beasts dispersed after a little resistance.

"Assemble the army and attack Erhu Mountain!" cleaned up the battlefield a little. Li Muran ordered loudly.

Zhao Yu's temporary station.

"General Zhao, the defenses in front have all collapsed, and they have not been able to stop Li Muran's army. The lieutenant officer whispered.

"Waste, a bunch of waste, it's only been a long time, and all of them have collapsed......" Zhao Yu roared frantically, the generals in the camp shrank their necks, and no one spoke.

"General, it's time for us to think about retreating. When Zhao Yu's anger subsided slightly, the surrounding generals began to persuade.

"Retreat, where to retreat?" Zhao Yu shouted.

"I think it's good near Shangguan City," An Yiquan, the general who led the army, said, "My younger brother An Yiwen heard that General Zhao Meng had already withdrawn. ”

"Rumors, they are all rumors, they disturb the hearts of our army, and they should be punished. Zhao Yu roared frantically.

"Whether it is a rumor or not, everyone knows in their hearts that we have been holding on for nearly ten days, but we have not seen a single soldier sent by General Zhao Meng, and not a single cart of grain and grass has been transported. What is the reason for this?" As a leading general with real power, An Yiquan is not afraid of Zhao Yu.

"That is, now that the wind and clouds around Shangguan City are coming, all the forces around them are looking for treasures, so we are stupidly here to be a shield for others......" The rest of the generals said one after another.

"What if we just block Li Muran's attack, when the time comes, the army will be lost, and the power will be greatly damaged, who will help us? If I don't bite me when I see it, it's okay......," Zhao Yu's henchman Zhao Yu also persuaded.

Regarding the rumors of Shangguancheng's treasure, Zhao Yu didn't believe it at first, thinking it was a conspiracy. But as things developed, one treasure trove after another was discovered and excavated. Faced with the facts, Zhao Yu also had to admit the authenticity of the treasure.

Now the rumors on Shangguancheng's side are getting more and more powerful, saying that the treasure of Shangguancheng is only a small part, and the treasure that originally belonged to the Scattered Cultivation Alliance was also handed over to Shangguancheng when the army was defeated to help hide it.

Even legend has it that the spirit stone mines that Tianyumen is now occupying have actually been mined by the Scattered Cultivation Alliance a long time ago, and a large number of top-grade spirit stones are also buried near Shangguan City.

No one knows whether it's true or not. After all, after Zhou Weiqing blew up the spirit stone mine, he began to mine savagely, and many things were inexplicable.

The current Shangguan City is like a piece of stinky meat, attracting the greedy eyes of countless people, and there are as many as twenty large and small forces around it alone, as well as countless mercenaries, thieves and some lone thieves. Several nearby sects also began to intervene, and everyone or organization wanted to get a chance.

Zhao Yu listened to his cousin's words, and hesitated, yes, what is the point of continuing to fight with Mu Tianxiang's army here, except for the loss of his own little strength?

"General, since Zhao Meng is unjust, it's no wonder that we are not in charge. Cousin Zhao Yu continued to persuade.

"That's, that's it, when we arrived in Shangguan City, our strength was not inferior to others. And once you get the treasure of Shangguan City, you can fight for it in the world, so why bother sending people to the fence. The surrounding generals echoed and persuaded.

Looking at the eager gaze of the generals below, Zhao Yu knew that the people's hearts were scattered, and if he forcibly ordered to stick to it, it was estimated that there were few people who could really carry out the order, after all, the wealth of Shangguan City was too tempting. Zhao Yu himself was moved.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Zhao Yu reluctantly ordered the withdrawal of the army.

"Zhao Yu has withdrawn!" Li Muran, who got the information, thought about it and understood. The rumors of Shangguan Ping and Ma Tiefeng's true and false still worked.

"Pack up the supplies, especially the grain, the whole army will attack Weihu Mountain, and our operation will be successfully completed if we take Weihu Mountain!" Looking at the materials discarded by the routed army, Li Muran was in a good mood.
