Chapter 136: The Siege is in Progress

The fall of Qiongcheng was undoubtedly fatal to Shen Xia of the Ancient Road.

As soon as Qiongcheng was lost, Shen Xia was in danger of being attacked on his back, and it was already an unwise choice to continue to stick to the ancient road, so he had to give up the ancient road and retreat to the clouds.

On the first night of the siege of Qiongcheng, Shen Xia attacked Chen's army stationed outside the ancient road at night. Although the gain was not large, it also forced Chen Jun to retreat ten miles.

As soon as Chen Jun retreated, Shen Xia immediately made a decision and withdrew from the ancient road.

Fortunately, he retreated early, as soon as Shen Xia left on the front foot, Liang Yangbo's army on the back foot was blocked on the ancient road, but at this time, the ancient road was already an empty city.

The decisive decision allowed Shen Xia to avoid the possibility of being surrounded and annihilated.

In the clouds is a big city, which is stuck in the throat of the eastern part of Central Chu.

When Shen Xia arrived in the clouds, Han Ming had already arrived and asked Zhang Dabiao to meet Shen Xia at the crossing.

Although the loss of Qiongcheng and the ancient road made Zhongchu passive, Han Ming's arrival gave everyone a shot in the arm. Especially Shen Xia, after all, they had fought side by side together, and he had a lot of confidence in Han Ming.

As early as when Shen Xia arrived, Han Ming had already rested in the clouds for two days, and after learning about the situation of the ancient road and Qiongcheng, Han Ming did not delay any longer, and personally led the troops straight to Qiongcheng.

Qiongcheng is not far from the ancient road, and it is becoming a horn, if you attack one of them, the other can quickly come to help. If you forcibly attack the city, it will be difficult to take it.

Han Ming asked Liu Zhixian's front army to go straight to the ancient road to block the reinforcements coming from the ancient road, and he led the Chinese army to Qiongcheng himself.

Gu Liang Yangbo's 60,000 troops were stationed in Qiongcheng.

Zhang Dabiao, as a pioneer, arrived in Qiongcheng one step earlier, and as soon as he arrived at the city, he shouted in his loud voice.

The county guard's mansion, Gu Liang Yangbo and a group of generals gathered in the hall.

"I just received a report from the spies that nearly 90,000 Chu troops were coming towards us, and Ben Shuai decided to hold on. However, the vanguard of the Chu army has arrived in the city, who is willing to fight and destroy the prestige of the Chu army. ”

The generals below stood up one after another to ask for their lives.

Gu Liang Yangbo glanced at everyone and said to Gu Liang Yong: "A few days ago, you and your brother lost the first battle, and you lost one of my generals for this, and now I order you to go to war and make up for your mistakes, if you can't win, you don't have to come back." ”

"Thank you Yang Shuai, the last general will take the order, if you can't behead the enemy, the last general should apologize for his own crimes. ”

Gu Liangyong had long wanted to be ashamed, and after getting this opportunity, he happily accepted his life.

Zhang Dabiao called the battle under the city for a long time, and scolded Chen Jun from the eighteenth generation of his ancestors to the children of his family.

However, the generals of the Chen army have not moved, but the Chen army on the city wall can't look past it, and scolds Zhang Dabiao from afar, and the whole battlefield is like the two armies scolding the street.

But Zhang Dabiao shouted and scolded the whole army together, and Chen Jun on the city wall couldn't scold them far away.

"Squeak......

The city gate opened, and Gu Liangyong led a team of cavalry to rush out.

Chen Jun and Chu Jun confronted each other on the battlefield, Zhang Dabiao had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and now that someone is coming, he is a little restless and is accumulating strength.

Gu Liangyong faced Zhang Dabiao and was a little surprised when he saw the long and thin Mo knife in his hand, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, the broken knife used by the girl, how do you have a face on the battlefield, go home and be your tailor. ”

Hearing Gu Liangyong's ridicule, Zhang Dabiao not only did not get angry, but instead smiled evilly, shouted loudly, and went straight to Gu Liangyong.

Gu Liangyong saw Zhang Dabiao coming towards him, restrained his smile, dragged the long knife in his hand, and went up to meet him.

As soon as the two came into contact, Zhang Dabiao clenched the Mo knife in his hand and slashed diagonally. Gu Liangyong also slashed the big knife in his hand in a semicircle and slashed at Zhang Dabiao's head.

It's just that the Mo knife is light and fast, and when Gu Liangyong's big knife has not yet been chopped, he has already cut off Gu Liangyong's big knife shaft, and then entered from Gu Liangyong's right shoulder, passed through the intestines, and came out from the left lower abdomen.

Immediately after that, the power of the Mo knife did not stop, and slashed down, and Gu Liangyong's mount was cut off with half of its head cut off, and it fell straight out.

The half-cut long knife stuck into the ground.

"Hmph, mentally retarded. Zhang Dabiao said disdainfully.

The main general was beheaded in one round, and the two armies were a sensation. The Chen army scattered and fled, while the Chu army cheered and rushed to kill the Chen army.

After chasing the Chen army under the wall, Kankan stepped into the range of the defenders, and the Chu army won the victory, and the first confrontation between the two sides ended in a defeat for the Chen army.

"Incompetence, waste. Gu Liang Yangbo scolded when he learned the result.

The people below didn't dare to gasp, for fear of anger at themselves.

After scolding, Gu Liangyang calmed down.

"Now that the enemy is in full swing, there is bound to be a fierce attack, and you will face a fierce battle next. ”

Sure enough, as Gu Liang Yangbo said, Han Ming knew that after Zhang Dabiao had won, he immediately launched a siege battle with a victorious attitude.

This siege battle was fought extremely fiercely.

At first, the Chu army built a ladder and pushed the battering ram, but under the stubborn resistance of the Chen army, it did not attack the city wall.

The Chu army was wave after wave, and the Chen army also spared no effort to resist, arrows, rolling logs, and base stones were constantly consumed, and the generals personally stood on the city wall to command.

The casualties of the Chen army were gradually increasing, but the Chu army, as the besieging party, suffered even greater casualties, and the large number of casualties made the morale of the Chu army begin to decline, and the pace of the siege began to slow down.

Seeing that he couldn't attack for a long time, Han Ming waved his hand and made a move, and immediately roared: "The wind rises, the wind is strong." ”

"Gale. ”

"Gale. ”

"Gale. ”

Orders were passed down to the commander, who waved the battle flag. Immediately after, a big guy slowly drove out of the military formation.

A dozen soldiers fiddled with a big one, and everyone pushed the thing to the front. Chen Jun, who was on the city wall, looked at a behemoth that had been pushed out of the Chu army's military formation, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Boom. ”

With an earth-shattering roar, the city wall of Qiongcheng was smashed out of a big pit, and where the big hole was located, not a single Chen army survived, and was turned into dust by the violent impact.

"Retreat. ”

"Retreat. ”

The generals of the Chen army on the city wall shouted loudly, so a large number of Chen troops withdrew from the city wall.

"Boom. ”

"Boom. ”

There were two more bombardments, but this time most of the Chen army had already withdrawn from the city wall, and apart from breaking part of the city wall, it did not cause much damage to the Chen army.

The reason why the mountain-breaking cannon did not bombard the city gate was mainly because the distance was too far and the power was not enough. If you get closer, you will be hit by Chen Jun's arrows and crossbows, and you will have to bombard the city wall.

When Chu Jun saw that he had such a terrifying weapon, his face flushed one by one, and he couldn't wait to rush forward immediately.

The madness is also boiling, and Han Ming, who is beside him, can feel the madness of the restless heart.

"Boss, can I ......?"

He was the captain of the guard, he couldn't leave Han Ming half a step on the battlefield, this was the duty of the captain of the guard, but he really wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Han Ming looked at him and said with a smile, "Go ahead." ”

With Han Ming's consent, his eyes widened wildly, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, boss, hahaha." Cubs, you're mad uncle. ”

When the guards beside him heard the wild laughter, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and they started to kill people, and they didn't kill these people at all.

As the guards thought, the madman went on a killing spree without blinking, and he rushed towards the city wall with his halberd, laughing as he went, making everyone around him feel panicked.

However, with him leading the team, the soldiers' fighting spirit was even higher.

Blocking the arrows as he flickered, he rose and stepped headlong into the crumbling walls. There was a madness in front of him, and the soldiers behind him swarmed in.

The soldiers of the Chen army couldn't resist the madness after the outbreak of war, and the horror of the humanoid meat grinder terrified the enemy soldiers, and no one left a whole corpse in the place where the madness passed, and he was like a Shura who had crawled out of hell, covered in blood.

"Report, General, the West Gate is lost. ”

"Report, the enemy army is pouring into the inner city. ”

"Report, our army is about to be unable to resist ......" Before he finished speaking, the man lost his breath.

The successive battle reports came, which made Gu Liang Yangbo furious, the situation was already very serious, and seeing that the entire battlefield was about to collapse, he picked up his long sword.

"Come, follow me to stop the enemy. ”

With Gu Liang Yangbo personally taking the lead in the battle, the morale of the soldiers of the Chen army was raised at once, and a group of black-clothed sword guards suddenly appeared on the battlefield, all of them were extremely brave, blocking the offensive of the Chu army.

These black-clothed sword guards were originally Gu Liang Yangbo's supervisory team, which was to slash and kill those who escaped on the battlefield, and now they are used by Gu Liang Yangbo to resist the Chu army.

Although Gu Liang Yangbo is old, he is old and strong, and he is also a master of battle qi, and the fierce sword qi on his sword swept everywhere, causing heavy casualties to the Chu army.

Moreover, reinforcements from several sides of the Chen army have arrived, and a semi-encirclement attack has begun on the Chen army that has broken the western wall.

The Chu army, which was originally on the offensive, was beaten back by Gu Liang Yangbo's hand.

Crazy Qi was about to kill, and suddenly found that the people around him were retreating, and he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Gu Liang Yangbo was leading people all the way up. As soon as he saw Gu Liang Yangbo, although he didn't know Gu Liang Yangbo's identity, he knew that the rout of the army was inseparable from this person, so he killed him with a double halberd.

Gu Liang Yangbo also found that he was crazy, and the two of them had a pair of eyes, their eyes were on fire, and they rushed towards each other.

The people along the way were bounced out by their battle spirit, and in the blink of an eye, the two were fighting together.

The frenzied battle qi was fierce, and every bombardment could make Gu Liang Yangbo's long sword tremble. But Gu Liang Yangbo's battle spirit was fierce, and where the battle spirit passed, it was devastated.

The two seem to be evenly matched, but they have more than enough strength to get up, and the follow-up is insufficient, Gu Liang Yangbo's battle spirit of practicing for decades is long and restrained.

The frenzy began to slowly become uncontrollable, from the initial offensive, slowly turned into a defensive position.

Gu Liang Yangbo saw that Mad Qi was at a disadvantage, and his playing style was more ferocious, and Mad Qi could only be forced to resist. Coupled with the gradually retreating Chu army around them, the situation of the madness is very dangerous.

"Don't be afraid, my brother is here to save you. ”

Just when he was about to hold on, Zhang Dabiao roared, rushed over with a Mo knife, and slashed at Gu Liang Yangbo. Gu Liang Yangbo is not Gu Liang Yong, he obviously feels a palpitating power from this unsightly weapon.

He didn't underestimate Zhang Dabiao, so he slowed down his attack on Crazy Qi and turned to resist Zhang Dabiao's strange knife.

Zhang Dabiao and Crazy Qi joined forces to defeat Gu Liang Yangbo one after another.

"Yang Shuai, the end will also be. ”

"Yang Shuai, don't be surprised, let the last general help the general. "There are constantly generals of the Chen army rushing from afar to support Gu Liang Yangbo.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Dabiao turned around and slashed 360 degrees, slashing Gu Liang Yangbo far away, and then shouted loudly: "Crazy up, withdraw." ”

Crazy Qi also knew that he was in danger now, so he didn't say a word, turned his head and ran.

The generals of the Chen army still wanted to continue the pursuit, but Gu Liang Yangbo raised his hand, "Don't chase, immediately send someone to fill the gap in the city wall, and be careful of the enemy's attack." ”

With Gu Liang Yangbo's order, everyone immediately took action.

"Poof. After everyone left, Gu Liang Yangbo spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"Yang Shuai......" The guard next to him saw it and hurriedly shouted.

Gu Liang Yangbo waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just that you use too much gas, just adjust it, there are such powerful people in the Chu army, it's not easy to deal with." ”

The state of madness is not good, and as soon as he left Qiongcheng, he vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Liang Yangbo's battle spirit was too fierce, and he injured his internal organs during the battle, but he cultivated the "Forging Body", and his body recovery ability was very strong, and there should be no problem with cultivating for ten days and half a month.
