Chapter 162: Siege Battle (Vertical and Horizontal Start!) )
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
So under Li Yun's order, the cannons of the Vermilion Bird Army once again burst out of its divine might.
"Boom......!"
"Boom......!"
"Boom......!"
As fireballs and thick smoke rose above the city, the officers and soldiers defending the city were stunned at once. Especially those strong men who had just been recruited were even more frightened by the heavy artillery fire.
"Ah......h
"Second uncle, I'm afraid!"
"I'm going home! I want to go home! ”
A strong man was frightened by the heavy artillery fire, and cried and shouted that he was going home, but he had barely run two steps when he was hit by a shell. Then it began to fall, accompanied by a rain of blood from the fragments of corpses.
"Damn! How can those anti-thieves have so many cannons! "It's not just those strong men, even Xue Changgui is scared.
Then he hurriedly ordered: "Fire!" Shoot me right now! ”
Ruzhou, as the capital city, still deployed some artillery, and under Xue Changgui's order, these artillery pieces opened fire one after another. However, the performance of the artillery of the officers and soldiers was too different from that of the Suzaku Army, and neither the gunpowder used nor the design of the cannon were the same.
Even if the artillery of the officers and soldiers was condescending on the castle tower, the range was only on par with that of the Suzaku Army.
In addition, most of the artillery shells of the officers and soldiers were solid shells, while the shells of the Suzaku Army, in addition to the solid shells used to destroy the city wall, also had a large number of flowering shells filled with high explosives, so the lethality of the cannons on both sides was very different.
"Ah......h
"My legs! My leg! ”
"Medic!"
Although the performance of the artillery of officers and soldiers is slightly inferior, the artillery is after all artillery, and even if it is only a solid bullet, the lethality is very strong. Some solid bullets kept bouncing on the ground, plowing a long scar of flesh and blood in the military formation of the Suzaku Army, and the soldiers who were hit would be missing arms and legs even if they did not die, but fortunately, the artillery position was not hit.
"Toot toot toot toot...... Doodle...... Toot ......"
"Toot toot toot toot...... Doodle...... Toot ......"
Before the artillery preparations were over, the sound of the Suzaku Army's military trumpet sounded on the battlefield.
"Kill ......!"
"Kill ......!"
Immediately afterwards, the Suzaku army braved the artillery fire, and when the city was suppressed by its own artillery fire, it launched an attack on the city of Ruzhou.
Ruzhou is the capital city of the moat, the moat is large and wide, you can't rush through it with a ladder like Changping County, you must fill in the moat before you can launch an attack.
So I saw that each of the Suzaku soldiers was carrying a sandbag behind him, and after running to the edge of the moat, he threw the sandbag on his back into it.
At this time, the officers and soldiers at the head of the city had not yet reacted, and under the fierce artillery fire of the Suzaku Army, no one dared to show their heads at all. At the same time, as the artillery of the officers and men was destroyed one by one, the firepower of the officers and men to counterattack became weaker and weaker.
"Damn it! They're filling in the moat, and they're all up and firing arrows at me! Shoot the arrows! "When the officers and soldiers on the castle tower found that the Suzaku army was filling the moat, they immediately shouted for the archers to stand up and release their arrows.
However, as soon as the archers stood up, they had to face the fire of the Suzaku Army and the rifle fire of the castle.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Ah......h
"Poof......!"
I saw that the Suzaku army used the old method, a stone's throw away from the city wall, under the cover of shield carts and shield bearers, to keep shooting at the head of the city to cover those companions who filled the moat.
Therefore, under the fire of the riflemen of the Suzaku Army, those archers suffered heavy casualties. Barely shot a few scattered arrows, but it couldn't pose much of a threat to the Suzaku soldiers who filled the river.
"You can't go on like this! It won't be long before the thieves fill in the moat. Seeing that bows, arrows and artillery fire could not stop the Vermilion Bird Army, the commander of the patrol battalion at the head of the city hurriedly reported to Xue Changgui.
Xue Changgui's face was a little gloomy, and after he ordered the patrol battalion to guard the city wall, he went down to the city tower.
Then Xue Changgui came to a courtyard in the city, only to see that this courtyard was full of fierce martial arts masters. Among them, there are not only the warriors of the major families in the city, but also the masters who have to recruit them to the rivers and lakes.
Originally, these people were planned to be used by Xue Changgui at the most critical moment, but he didn't expect that the artillery of the Vermilion Bird Army would be so fierce, and the officers and soldiers who fought it were powerless to fight back. So he had to use this man in advance, hoping to make a counter-charge and suppress the arrogance of the Suzaku Army.
Glancing at those martial arts masters, Xue Changgui saluted and then said very politely: "Everyone! Now that the anti-thieves are besieging the city, Ruzhou is in danger, and everything is left to you! ”
"Don't worry, sir! These rebels are like conquering Ruzhou City, they still lack a good tooth, and if you want to spread wild here, you have to ask my disciples of Vajra Gate if they agree! As soon as Xue Changgui finished speaking, he saw a burly middle-aged strong man who seemed to be made of King Kong and held a coiled dragon demon pestle and replied.
The middle-aged strong man is Qin Menglong, the master of the King Kong Gate in Ruzhou, and his outer door kung fu is extremely domineering, even in the entire Qianyuan Empire, he is also famous.
"Xue is a generation of the people of Ruzhou, thank you to the master of Qinmen." Xue Changgui thanked Qin Menglong again.
"Lord Xue is polite, it is our duty to deal with this kind of rebellious thief Qin!"
"What the Lord of the Qin Sect said is right, this kind of rebellious thief is punished by everyone! If you send Lord Xue, even if you say it clearly, we will never give up! As soon as Qin Menglong finished speaking, he saw a heroic martial arts master with eight long swords on his back and said.
And this martial arts master with eight long swords on his back is none other than the famous super master in Ruzhou, Nangong Wuxue, nicknamed the eight-armed divine sword.
"That's right! If you have any commands, just say them! ”
"Those thieves are just a rabble, and we will be able to catch them!"
With Qin Menglong and Nangong Wuxue, these two super masters expressed their positions, and the other people in the courtyard also spoke bluntly.
"Good! You are chivalrous and righteous, this official will definitely play the court and reward you heroes, I believe that the court will not disappoint everyone! Immediately afterwards, Xue Changgui drew a big pie for everyone.
When those martial arts masters heard this, they couldn't help but show a knowing smile on their faces. These people are working hard here, in addition to the heavy money given by Xue Changgui, isn't it just the reward of the imperial court!
Then Xue Changgui asked Qin Menglong and Nangong Wuxue and said, "The two heroes will leave everything to you." ”
"Please rest assured!"
Qin Menglong and Nangong Wuxue also accepted it with a confident face.
So Xue Changgui ordered Qin Menglong and Nangong Wuxue to lead those masters of the rivers and lakes and a team of elite soldiers to fight. In order to defeat the arrogance of the Suzaku Army, it is best to destroy the cannons of the Suzaku Army.
"Boom......!"
"Boom......!"
Just as the Suzaku Army was about to fill in the moat, suddenly an arrogant voice sounded above the castle tower, "Haha......!" You little thieves! I also dare to come to Ruzhou City, and see if grandpa doesn't smash you to pieces! ”
In response to this arrogant voice, suddenly a mighty and domineering strong man jumped directly from the city, and the sharp and strong muscles even exuded a metallic luster.
"King Kong subdued the demon! Megatron! ”
That mighty and strong man was Qin Menglong, I saw him smile cruelly after he landed, and then his true qi was exposed and turned into true qi armor. Immediately afterwards, Qin Menglong waved the coiling dragon demon pestle that weighed more than 100 catties, and under the attack of the demon pestle, the surrounding Vermilion Bird Army soldiers died tragically on the spot, and some soldiers even broke their bodies in an instant.
"Haha......! The master of the Qin Sect is good at kung fu! Look at me! ”
Following Qin Menglong, another super master flew down from the city tower. I saw that with a wave of his hands, the eight long swords behind him flew out, and with the flash of cold light, more than a dozen Vermilion Bird Army soldiers were in different places.
"Kill ......!"
"Kill ......!"
And with these two super masters, the city gate of Ruzhou suddenly opened, and with the drop of the suspension bridge, a team of elite cavalry instantly killed.
The Suzaku Army was caught off guard by this, and the formation was a little unstable.
In the distance, Li Yun looked at the cavalry who were rushing around, his face was calm for a while, as if he didn't see those soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Army who died tragically.
Because this is war, and war will always be iron fist against iron fist, steel knife against steel knife! All victories are based on strength, and intrigue is just icing on the cake.
And war is equal for both sides, and you can never get the enemy to do what you want. However, in this collision between steel and flesh, Li Yun will surely win the final victory.
Although the Suzaku Army was in a state of confusion because of a momentary panic, it quickly stabilized. And those cavalry were quickly lost under the resistance of the Suzaku Army, and in a short time they were drowned in the Suzaku Army's bullets like a storm.
At the same time, those martial arts masters also caused some trouble to the Suzaku Army.
However, the super-heavy rifles of the Suzaku Army were not vegetarians, and they were only shot one by one in the dull sound of gunfire. However, there are also a few super masters of the armor realm, with their strong cultivation, they have avoided the heavy guns and bullets of the Vermilion Bird Army again and again!
"Bang!"
After dodging the shot of the Suzaku Army's heavy rifle again, Nangong Wuxue couldn't help but shed a cold sweat on his face.
At this time, Nangong Wuxue had long lost the arrogance just now, and he originally believed that he was a powerhouse in the Transformation Armor Realm, and he was full of disdain for those ordinary soldiers.
But it was these ordinary soldiers who killed those martial arts masters one by one with a strange firearm, and even Nangong Wuxue himself was almost shot.
When he saw with his own eyes a Battle Soul Realm master, after being cut into a bowl-sized blood hole in his chest by that strange firearm, he couldn't help but be frightened.
Because even he couldn't resist this terrifying attack.
"Whoosh!"
After manipulating the flying sword to kill a soldier of the Vermilion Bird Army aimed at him, Nangong Wuxue shouted loudly: "The Lord of the Qin Sect retreats quickly!" The firearms these people use are so weird! ”
However, Qin Menglong didn't have time to pay attention to Nangong Wuxue at this time, because under the attack of a group of peculiar Vermilion Bird Army soldiers, he was already in danger!
