Chapter 114: Siege (3)
"Indeed, when martial arts were flourishing, there were more than 100 people at the top of martial arts. On the other hand, in the current world, due to the decline in the quality of Wu Yuan, the Saint Martial Realm can be dominant. Xuanwu sighed. But he added: "However, the current human race has created a new kind of power, the Famous Army Martial Formation, and the method of bringing together countless people's martial elements to improve the condensation of the martial yuan, and in the previous battle, I felt that that power could even enhance my divine element." ”
"You're kidding, how is it possible for humans to increase our strength. "The white tiger has a look of distrust, even if it is a divine warrior who has signed a contract, he can only improve his strength through mutual assistance. How could a group of humans who hadn't even arrived at the Grandmaster reach the level of a divine beast.
However, Xuanwu didn't explain, but said lightly: "You can see it with your own eyes in the future, and the contractor of the Qinglong Boss is also not far away." ”
Seeing the two bigwigs talking vaguely, Deng Zhanxuan and the two could only stand aside silently. Seeing that the conversation between the two beasts finally stopped. He reminded: "Lord Xuanwu, we have to open the gate of Zhenbei Pass, big brother, they are still fighting outside the city." ”
"Indeed, leave this matter to the White Tiger. As he spoke, he looked at the reluctant White Tiger sincerely.
"Well, let me see what kind of Wuji's heirs are?" As he spoke, the white tiger suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, and then, his size suddenly skyrocketed, reaching a height of 100 meters in an instant.
"Humans, come up, I'll take you there. ”
When the two climbed on the white tiger's broad back, the white tiger said lightly, "Hold it firm." Before he could finish speaking, his legs flexed slightly, and he instantly jumped into the sky. Obviously, he just relied on his strength to leap in the mountains, but it felt like flying to the two of them.
Back in time, when Deng Zhanxuan had just left, the four commanders had already assembled their troops early in the morning and were ready to participate in the battle at any time, and Li Qiutong finally got up early today. When he had just walked out of the camp, the four armies, including Guan Yu, Ren Xingtian, and even Qin Shuyu and a few women, were already waiting in the wilderness.
"Are you all ready?" asked Li Qiutong a little embarrassedly to the people in front of him.
"Brother Tong, I'm waiting for you. ”
Qin Shuyu also smiled, stepped forward, and mentioned Li Qiutong to tidy up his clothes, "The battlefield is changing rapidly, don't be too rash, stay calm." ”
"Of course, you'll sleep a little longer, and when you wake up, you'll be able to go into town. After speaking, Li Qiutong pulled out the yin and yang dragon pattern stick behind him.
"Alright, then, I'll take the lead. The southern and northern camps will go to battle with me. Li Qiutong didn't say much, lifted the war stick, jumped on the war horse, and the battle spirit was soaring for a while.
"Brother Tong, have you memorized the main points of the siege?" Ren Xingtian couldn't help but remind him when he looked at him.
Li Qiutong smiled confidently, "Of course, long-range attacks are the mainstay." Don't rush to the wall. ”
"Out of the army. ”
Lin Xuan walked in front with the northern military camp in heavy armor, followed by Li Qiutong, and then the southern military camp. Although there are less than 10,000 people, the indomitable momentum is still strong.
"Strategist, this is the first time General Li has led the army into battle. Guan Yu said curiously.
"That's right, but I'm sure Brother Tong can do it well. Ren Xingtian said equally confidently.
"Then when will the Eastern Military Camp and I under the command of Zhu go to war?"
Ren Xingtian smiled slightly, "After Brother Tong adapts to the military condensation, you can set off." ”
On the way to the march, Li Qiutong silently recalled Biluo's words last night.
At last night's meeting, Biluo described the defense of Zhenbei Pass to everyone in detail.
"Zhenbei Pass, known as the strongest Northern Martial Realm in the mainland, is not in vain, first of all, it is the cold iron wall that is close to two hundred meters, even if it is a four-star holy martial artist's full strength, it will only leave a scratch less than a centimeter deep, and the strength of Zhenbei Pass cannot only rely on the city wall. What really terrified the Northern Wars was the various mechanisms on the city walls. As she spoke, she opened a drawing detailing the walls of the north side of the town.
"The attack range of the south wall of Zhenbei Pass is within 200 meters, so it is almost safe to go beyond 200 meters. There are three gates on the south wall of Zhenbei Pass, and the left and right sides are small gates for the people to enter and exit, only about four or five meters wide, and if we want to attack Zhenbei Pass, we must walk through the gate in the middle, which is twenty meters wide, dedicated to the entry and exit of large armies, but it is usually tightly closed, and it is our business to open it, and it takes a lot of time to open it, so your task is to attack Zhenbei Pass, attract the attention of the soldiers defending the city, and let the main forces be distributed on the high city, so that we may have enough time to open the city gate. And what you need to pay attention to is the three lines of defense in Zhenbei Pass, the first line of defense is four rows of crossbows installed at a height of about 100 meters, a row of fifty bow crossbows, a total of 200 units, all of which are automatically loaded and shot by the mechanism, and the interval between each wave is no more than five seconds, but after ten waves of continuous shooting, there will be a quarter of an hour of cooldown, and then you can charge into a hundred meters at that time, where the second line of defense - Rolling Stone Henge, in the position of about fifty meters of the city wall, there is a stone pushing mouth, once the arrow array, then the diameter of three meters of boulders will fall from the sky, its landing point is generally about fifty meters away from the city, a time can fall forty boulders, almost the entire road can be covered horizontally, and the same by the mechanism of the push, can send three waves in a row, the cooling time is still a quarter of an hour. ”
"Then the last line of defense must be a weapon dedicated to fighting high-level martial artists. Ren Xingtian asked.
"That's right, at the highest point of the city wall, five god-killing crossbows have been erected. ”
When Ren Xingtian heard this name, his face was shocked, "This thing still exists now." According to rumors, it was three hundred years ago, during the war of destroying the gods, it was created by a genius craftsman, with the thousand-year-old god tree as the main body, and took the dragon tendon of the South China Sea as the string, and used the cold iron of the northern realm to build a frame, with the same use of cold iron to create a god-killing arrow, in that battlefield, slaughtered several gods, and really called the name of the god-killing god. But it is said that after the war, because of its power, it was destroyed by the hands of its creator?"
Biluo was also very surprised, "I didn't expect you to know so clearly, according to the ancestors of the Beitang family, that craftsman really wanted to destroy, but when the Northern War was coming, he came to Zhenbei Pass, helped the people at that time, created these mechanical weapons, and brought his god-killing crossbow to Zhenbeiguan, but he used methods to transform the god-killing crossbow and fixed it on the city wall, so that it could only fight against foreign enemies, and could not be used in the battle of Dongwu." And the southern wall itself did not have much fighting, so only five were erected, and the storage of crossbow arrows would not exceed ten. The mechanism on the north wall is more than three times as large as here, and there are as many as twenty god-killing crossbows. But the power is always there, and you have to be careful. ”
Ren Xingtian also agreed: "Indeed, I can't imagine that there is such a killing weapon in Zhenbei Pass, and I'm afraid that Brother Tong can't easily carry it." ”
"In addition, most of the soldiers on the south wall belong to Zhang Xiu's army, and there are probably nearly a thousand people guarding there, and they are not particularly familiar with the use of organs. I think there will be a lapse in their cooperation. That's all I want to say, you'll have to be careful tomorrow. Biluo added. Biluo had seen with his own eyes the scene when all the organs of Zhenbei Pass were operating together, that kind of lethality, the powerful Northern War had no power to resist, it was really not a scene that ordinary people could imagine.
"General Li, the vanguard is only three hundred meters away from Zhenbei Pass. Zhu Yan'er stepped forward and reminded.
Awakened by Zhu Yan'er's words, he raised his head obediently, and a wall of heaven had already come into his eyes, the gray-white city wall was solemn and heavy, and there were several lines on it that had been eroded by the years. Magnificent and magnificent, this is Li Qiutong's first impression of the Northern Martial Arts World.
Li Qiutong stepped forward solemnly and said, "Give the order, start a war." ”
On the high wall of Zhenbei Pass, a few sparse soldiers were sitting leisurely around a wooden table playing dice.
"Six o'clock, big, haha, I won, you guys give money quickly. ”
"How can you be so lucky lately, I've been losing a hundred dollars in the past few days. One soldier sighed helplessly.
"Haha, no way, I've had a good life lately. ”
Just when a few people were about to open it again. The alarm bell rang suddenly.
"What's going on?"
One of the soldiers hurriedly looked into the distance. It was a pitch-black army armed to the teeth, holding a huge human-tall shield and slowly walking towards this side.
"Enemy attack, there is enemy attack. Quick, open the arrow array. In a hurry, several people quickly blew the battle horn, and the soldiers who had never fought before were now very panicked. But there is also professionalism. The people below quickly opened the Arrow Array mechanism.
"Everyone calm me down, we are guarding the Northern Martial Realm, who can attack it. The chief's words immediately calmed everyone down.
"I want to see, it's that fool who doesn't know what to do just came to fight Zhenbeiguan. The god-killing crossbow can be adjusted at any time, and I want to make them come back again. ”
And Li Qiutong below also ushered in the first attack at this time. Two hundred flying arrows suddenly pierced through the air, but Li Qiutong was not surprised.
I saw that Lin Xuan in front of him gave an order, and all the soldiers in the northern military camp raised their big shields in an orderly manner and tacitly to protect every corner. At the same time, a black barrier spread along the shield of the fortress on their outer sides.
"Commander Zhu, count. Li Qiutong ordered Zhu Yan'er beside him in time.
"Understood. ”
One wave, two waves, three waves, four waves, five waves......
Two thousand arrows appeared in front of the soldiers of Beitong Pass in less than a minute, but Li Qiutong was very calm, after all, compared to the five thousand wolf volleys of the Mongolian cavalry before, this arrow array was still a lot worse.
In the blink of an eye, ten waves of arrows had passed, and the entire army did not suffer any damage, almost eight-tenths of the arrows were blocked by the Wuyuan shield, and a small part of the broken through the shield was also broken on the stainless steel shield.
"All the army, forward. ”
As expected, after ten waves, the rain of arrows stopped, and the whole army began to move slowly again, steadily advancing towards the gate of Zhenbei Pass, which was not far away.
If there is no impregnable defense of the northern military camp, if you want to rely only on the cavalry archer of the southern military camp, although you can quickly pass through the 100 meters covered by the sword formation, the consumption of Wu Yuan must be very large, and the next rolling stones will inevitably cause a devastating blow to the cavalry, so Li Qiutong will choose the tactic of letting the northern military camp always block the front of the formation and advance steadily and slowly.
