Chapter Forty-Six: War Again
As night fell, on a mountain range in Yangzhou, a mighty army was marching rapidly.
Li Tianxing, the crown prince Qin Zhenqian and others were riding horses to Falling Star City, when suddenly Qin Si, wearing a suit of armor, appeared beside Li Tianxing.
"Young City Lord, your letter. Qin Si took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Tianxing.
Li Tianxing turned the letter, and after opening it and reading it, a small black flame suddenly appeared in the hand holding the letter and burned the letter.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general is said to have heard that although the defenders of Falling Star City are millions, it seems that they are not as good as the 400,000 Falling Star City guards compared to their combat power, I don't know if Falling Star City is now at war with the Black Armor Army, and whether the million army can hold Falling Star City, the last general wants to lead 80,000 soldiers to take the lead and go to the aid of Falling Star City. Li Tianxing said to the crown prince Qin Zhenqian.
The crown prince Qin Zhenqian looked at Li Tianxing's immature face, and said lightly: "The Falling Star City Guard is good at attacking, and its combat power is stronger than the Sifang City where your father is sitting, and the million-strong army relies on the city wall, and it is difficult for the Black Armor Army to break through the Falling Star City." ”
"The last general heard that the Falling Star Border City is as strong as a fortress, and there are 400,000 Falling Star City guards guarding it all year round, and it is as difficult to break the Falling Star Border City as it is to pick the stars in the sky, but the Falling Star Border City was breached overnight, and the last general is worried about the safety of the Falling Star City. Li Tianxing continued.
After listening to Li Tianxing's words, Qin Zhenqian frowned and was a little displeased, but after thinking about it carefully, what Li Tianxing said was not unreasonable, nodded lightly, and turned around on a horse to find Li Ding.
After getting Li Ding's permission, the crown prince Qin Zhenqian and Li Tianxing took 80,000 cavalry, brought a little dry food, and rode fast horses to Luoxing City.
。。。。。。
The North Gate of Falling Star City.
The army of the Black Armor Army is on the ground at the foot of Star City.
A black-armored general wearing black light armor, wearing a strange ghost mask, and riding a black dragon horse under his crotch, walked to the front of the line.
"The families in Falling Star City, this is your last chance, do as I say, open the city gates, have a lot of rewards, dare to assist the defenders of Falling Star City, die!
The voice of the general of the Black Armor Army resounded through the heavens and the earth, and even the masters of the major families in Falling Star City could hear it.
The general of the Black Armor Army had to make this move, and as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ordered an attack, no matter whether Xing Wuming believed it or not, there was already a family rebellion in the city, Xing Wuming had to take what he said into account, so that he had to appease the soldiers and the major families first.
Otherwise, it is very likely that there will really be a family that betrays Xingwu at the most important juncture.
After Xing Wuming heard the words of the Black Armor Army general, a trace of waves appeared in his heart. I don't know that this black armor army wants to sow discord between the city guards and the major families, and how to defend the city as soon as the two sides are estranged and wary of each other.
Xingwumei looked around, and the city guards were whispering in whispers.
"Shameless boy, even the corpses of your own comrades can be used to set fire to my Falling Star Border City, and you still want to disturb the morale of the army today?
The families of the major families in the city couldn't help but hesitate after hearing the words of the Black Armor General, after all, if they could live, no one would choose to die, right?
When the roar of Xing Wuxian also came, everyone understood that the Black Armor Army was extremely cruel and could be ruthless to its own people, even after surrendering, it was estimated that there would not be a good life.
In the north of the city, the siege equipment such as ladders, wells, siege vehicles, and catapults of the Black Armor Army have been put into the siege battle.
The guards of the Falling Star on the city wall had already picked up their handmade bows and arrows to attack.
Fifty thousand Falling Star City Guards fired a salvo, and the rain of arrows in the sky was as beautiful as a meteor shower under the light emitted by the moon, and there were many killing opportunities hidden under the dazzling light.
After the sound of "Boom, Boom, Boom", thousands of Blackarmor soldiers fell forever.
Although it was a dark night, under the faint moonlight and firelight, a large number of black armor troops could still be seen falling, but their fall was not useless, and the black armor army had advanced to the bottom of Falling Star City.
Suddenly, in the rear of the Black Armor Army, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, a large number of Black Armor troops carrying crossbows appeared, and a large number of iron arrows were loaded on the crossbows.
The iron arrow is particularly sharp in the reflection of the moonlight, and the sharp arrow that exudes a deep cold light makes people stand on end when they see it!
After Xing Wuxing saw a large number of black-armored soldiers carrying crossbows in the black-armored army, this group of black-armored soldiers had already carried the crossbows to the city.
Star Deathless immediately ordered the catapults in the city to use boulders doused with fire oil to target the opponent's crossbows. Have the Falling Star Guards on the city walls replace them with Thunderbolt rockets to attack the opponent's crossbows.
Although the movements of the city guards of Falling Star City were fast, the movements of the Black Armor Army were even faster! This group of Black Armor troops attacking the city was simply familiar, and the whole army cooperated as if they were eating and drinking, and the whole process was smooth and did not drag on at all.
The sound of "Boom" sounded again, but this time it was the sound of the Black Armor Army's crossbow attacking.
After receiving the order, the guards of the Falling Star City had already defended themselves and were ready to resist the attack of the crossbow, but it turned out that it was strange that the Black Armor Army did not attack the Falling Star Guards on the city wall with the crossbow, but attacked on the city wall.
After Xing Wuming saw this action of the Black Armor Army, his face instantly sank a little, and he scolded angrily in his heart, "Get out, who is the commander of the other party, how can he be so familiar with the siege of the city, and the strength of this Black Armor Army and the siege strength are also too strong!"
Although he was scolding angrily in his heart, the commander did not fall, and shouted loudly: "The pikemen come forward to prepare, the enemy is ready to attack the city on the wall, the shield guard uses the iron hook to fix the enemy's ladder and then uses the boulder to smash it for me, I want to see how many ladders the other party can build in a hurry to smash for us!"
On the battlefield, all kinds of boulders burning with fire oil and thunderbolt rockets fell from high in the sky in the lineup of the Black Armor Army, some of the Black Armor Army who had no time to dodge were smashed into meat cakes, and some were shot by the Thunderbolt Rockets, and the body was directly burned into charcoal.
The north of the Falling Star City is staging this tragedy like the Shura battlefield, the war has officially started since the Falling Star Border City two days ago, the days of peace in this world have passed, if you want to have a stable and peaceful day again, you need a group of people to pick up the sword in their hands and fight the enemy with their lives!
After the attack of thunderbolts and catapults, almost half of the crossbow of the Black Armor Army was destroyed, and the remaining half was carried back to the rear by the Black Armor Army.
It's a pity that the purpose of the Black Armor Army has been achieved, and the iron arrows shot by the crossbow are firmly embedded in the city wall, and the soldiers of the Black Armor Army have used their skills to step on the iron arrows and rush up the city wall!
The crisis of Falling Star City has appeared, once the city wall is occupied, even if there are millions of defenders in the city, they may not be able to hold Falling Star City, and the morale will be hit to the lowest point, I am afraid that Falling Star City will fall into civil strife at that time, and under the double blow of external and internal troubles, the probability of being able to hold Falling Star City is almost zero!
