Chapter 102: Siege for a while

Sun Lin and Dong Yun have not dared to disturb the senior brother, the next day, Yuan Yichen came out of the ancestral hall, his eyes were bloodshot, Dong Yun told Yuan Yichen everything Chen Fan had explained before, and asked him to inherit the position of the master of Qimen.

Yuan Yichen did not refuse, the three senior brothers sat together, and Sun Lin told the senior brother everything that happened in Xuancheng. Yuan Yichen was still calm, he decided to rise out of the valley immediately, vowing to drive Yuji, Yu Si and Jiuli out of the Central Plains.

On December 26, at noon, in front of Jianye City, the sergeants of the Cefu were lined up neatly, divided into five formations in the front, middle and rear, and left and right wings. Xuan Dong sat in the middle army, Bai Zan guarded beside him, Mo Buyu and Mo Liu were on the left flank, leading a group of cavalry.

Zhong Xu chose to hold on to this time, and a large number of Xuanjia troops gathered on the city wall, and many giant trees were also firmly resisted behind the city gate to prevent the siege equipment from colliding.

Xuan Dong waited for a while, looked into the air, a biting cold wind blew, and the military flags of Cefu were blown up one by one. As soon as Xuan Dong waved his hand, the herald sergeant beside him waved the herald flag with both hands, and the foot soldiers in the front were led by the two main generals, making a deafening shout, and then gathered the heavy shields, lifted out the ladder, lined up in several columns, and slowly marched towards the east city gate.

Zhong Xu and Shu Zhenghe stood on the city wall, saw the advance of Cefu, and ordered the Xuanjia army to prepare bows and crossbows and sassal wood. When the front of the Ce Mansion approaches, he will give a head-on blow.

The sergeants of Cefu marched for a while, and just as they were about to enter the range of their crossbows, suddenly the whole army accelerated and rushed up, and the two main generals rushed to the front and leaned towards the city gate very quickly.

The Xuanjia army did not panic because of the impact of Cefu, on the contrary, the crossbowmen of all teams shot bows and crossbows in order to the front of Cefu under the city, one after another, the infantry soldiers in front of Cefu used heavy shields to resist the bows and crossbows, although there were many sergeants who were hit by arrows, but the whole team still advanced in an orderly manner, and there were more than thirty steps to reach the front of the east city wall. Xuan Dong looked at the battle situation, his face was very calm, he waved his hand again, and the siege equipment slowly appeared from the formation, and the target was directed at the city gate.

The front of Cefu soon reached the city wall, and a group of soldiers set up a ladder and climbed to the city wall as quickly as possible. Shu Zhenghe saw the cloud ladder coming, he stepped forward quickly and kicked the cloud ladder away, but not long after the cloud ladder in front of him was kicked away, another one came up, and the Xuanjia army shot a bow and crossbow to the city, while constantly pushing away the cloud ladder, the two sides were deadlocked, and from time to time there were half-climbed Sergeants of Cefu who fell down, and wails came out from time to time.

The siege equipment was divided into three teams and slowly moved forward, taking advantage of the entanglement between the sergeants and the Xuanjia army in the front, and gradually approached the city gate. Zhong Xu had already noticed that as soon as the siege equipment approached, he immediately ordered people to throw a lot of wood and boulders, which were used to attack the sergeants who pushed the siege equipment, and on the other hand, they also blocked the equipment in front of the city gate. The sergeants of the Cefu reacted quickly, they stopped the siege equipment, a team of heavy shield sergeants came up quickly, protected another team of sergeants, and quickly cleaned up the boulders and boulders, and the boulders and boulders kept coming down from the city wall, and the soldiers of the Cefu under the city continued to clean up, and a stalemate was formed on both sides for a while.

The siege battle was particularly tragic, and the defending side relied on the city defense to occupy the geographical advantage, and the attacking sergeants were extremely difficult. Seeing all this, Mo Buyu felt the hardships of the siege.

Xuan Dong's expression was still calm, and when he saw that the siege equipment and the ladder were blocked on both sides at the same time, he ordered the right flank to assault and further put pressure on the city defense. After the Sergeant of Cefu on the right joined the battlefield, the situation improved somewhat, and there was still a stalemate at the ladder, but the siege equipment in front of the city gate had slowly leaned up. Shu Zhenghe watched the equipment approaching, he frantically ordered the soldiers to drop the sassage wood to prevent the equipment from coming up, the sassage wood kept falling from the city wall, hitting the heavy shield of Cefu, and people kept falling, but still failed to stop the equipment from moving forward. Finally, Cefu's siege equipment slammed into the city gate, and the muffled sound was particularly clear.

Zhong Xu saw the equipment coming up, he didn't panic at all, and after the three teams of equipment were assembled, he ordered someone to drop the oil barrel, and then the Xuanjia army on the city wall lit a fire crossbow. The sergeants of Cefu were under the city, and when they saw the oil barrels coming down, they quickly dispersed, and a team of sergeants immediately spread out a dense net and protected the three teams of equipment. The fire crossbows of the Xuanjia Army came down and were stopped one by one by the secret net. The sergeants of Cefu were pushing the siege equipment hard, and the sound of crashing was constantly heard in front of the city gate. When Zhong Xu saw the secret net, he had a headache and asked the sergeant to continue to shoot the fire crossbow. Shu Zhenghe had already run under the city wall.

The fire crossbows were densely packed, the dense nets had been lit in many places, and some of the surrounding ground had also been on fire, but the city gate was extremely strong, and the three teams of siege equipment had collided for a while, but they still could not move a bit.

Xuan Dong looked at the battle situation, and was afraid that the secret network would not last long, so he ordered his entourage to withdraw his troops.

When the three teams of sergeants in front heard Mingjin, they immediately listened to the order and retreated slowly in an orderly manner.

When Zhong Xu saw the withdrawal of the troops, his expression became a little solemn, and the bravery of the sergeant of the Cefu and the decisiveness of Xuan Dong were somewhat beyond his expectations. Seeing the orderly retreat of the Ce Mansion, he did not send troops out of the city to chase after him, and still strictly guarded the city gate.

The two armies fought for a while, the two sides did not distinguish between victory and defeat, Xuan Dong through this siege, but also roughly clear Zhong Xu's means and the strength of the city, Jianye City is very large, Zhong Xu's strength is limited, he can not stick to the four gates, then Xuan Dong needs to try his best to disperse the strength of the Xuanjia army, contain a part, and focus on attacking one of them. In the big tent of the Chinese army in the Cefu, Mo Buyu and Mo Liu sat down with a group of Cefu generals, listening to Xuandong's next arrangement. Xuandong's method was very simple, send three teams of people to each city gate to explore the truth first, find out the weak points, and then choose the direction to break the enemy.

Zhong Xu also thought of this, and sent several groups of Xuanjia troops to ambush outside the city that night.

Mo Buyu and Mo Liu led a team of Cefu sergeants to the vicinity of the north gate, and before they got close, they vaguely saw many Xuanjia army sergeants arranging traps and fortifications by the moonlight. When Zhong Xu carefully checked the terrain near the north gate, this time in order to prevent the surprise attack of the Ce Mansion, he specially sent people over to reinforce the fortifications and set up traps. The outside of the north gate is not as empty as the outside of the east gate, and there is a high ground on the left and right sides, forming horns. At this moment, the Xuanjia army dug several deep pits in the middle of the highlands, laid thorn wood, and ambushed several teams of archers on the highlands on both sides. Mo Buyu immediately decided to deal with these ambushes first, and ordered his sergeants to sneak over. The sergeants quietly moved forward, approaching a section.

The Xuanjia army laid out fortifications and traps on the one hand, and patrolled sergeants on the other. Soon he found a group of people approaching, and immediately assembled, and a group of crossbowmen couldn't help but break up and shot out the bow and crossbow first. Seeing that the other party had discovered himself, Mo Buyu ordered all the sergeants to assault, avoid the bow and crossbow, and rush forward to kill. The two armies soon collided together, and both teams were elite legions of various countries, so they did not give in to each other, and both wanted to destroy each other on the spot. Mo Buyu and Mo Liu rushed ahead, and immediately met the two commanders of the Xuanjia Army. As soon as he met the enemy, the silent seven-star sword suddenly rose up, knocking one of the commanders to the ground. Mo Liu also flew out of the double knife in a short distance, and the leg of the other Xuanjia army commander was immediately cut by the short knife, and he was in pain for a while, and he limped and tried his best to resist Mo Liu's attack. Mo Buyu stepped forward and raised his sword against the commander who fell to the ground, killing him with a single sword. Turning around and attacking another person with Mo Liu, Mo Liu's double knives soon pierced through the Xuanjia Army's Xuanjia and stabbed into the opponent's heart. The Xuanjia army, which had fought with Cefu, found that the commanders had been killed, and they were a little panicked, while the sergeants of Cefu were all excited and chased all the way up. The Xuanjia army quickly ran to the north gate, and the defenders on the city wall found that the enemy was chasing them, and immediately shot out bursts of bows and crossbows to block Mo Buyu and Mo Liu's team. Mo Buyu saw the other party entering the city, and the bows and crossbows on the city wall were quite dense, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, he ordered a retreat, and outside the north gate, the fortifications and traps arranged by the Xuanjia army were destroyed one by one.

Shu Zhenghe patrolled at the four city gates that night, on the way to the north gate, received a report from the sergeant that there was an enemy ambush outside the north gate, he immediately rushed to the north gate, just on the city wall, he vaguely saw that there was a sergeant outside the city to destroy the fortifications, he didn't think too much about it, ordered a team of Xuanjia army, and personally led out of the city.

Mo Buyu and Mo Liu had already destroyed most of the fortifications and traps, and suddenly saw a Xuanjia army in the city, the two of them were shocked, and then ordered the sergeants to gather and prepare to fight the enemy again. When Shu Zhenghe got closer, he saw that it was Mo Buyu and Mo Liu again, he was particularly angry, and with a wave of his big knife, he quickly slashed at Mo Liu. Mo Liu also recognized Shu Zhenghe, and before he could rush up, he flew out of the double knife directly, and the two fought again, both of them were fighting for their lives and making dangerous moves. Mo Buyu hurriedly stepped forward to help, with Mo Buyu's seven-star sword to help, Shu Zhenghe was defeated and retreated, seeing that the lord would be forced to retreat, the Xuanjia army also came up quickly, and the sergeants of Cefu were stopped head-on, and the two armies were fighting again outside the north gate.

Shu Zhenghe held on for a while, and accidentally, his right hand holding the big knife was stabbed by the seven-star sword, his arm stabbed, and he tried his best to dodge Mo Liu's double knives, knowing that the two of them were invincible together, he turned around and shouted to the surrounding Xuanjia Army sergeants: "Withdraw first." "The Xuanjia army is a little depressed, they have been repelled twice in a row by this team of Cefu at the north gate, but the main general ordered that they could only turn around and run towards the north gate.

Mo Buyu and Mo Liu didn't chase after them, they expected that this time Shu Zhenghe would definitely lead a large group of people out to encircle and suppress, so they simply quickly destroyed the fortifications and traps, and immediately returned to the barracks.

That night, there were encounters between Cefu and the Xuanjia army at the south, west, and north gates, and the Cefu won at both the south gate and the north gate to defeat the Xuanjia army that left the city, and was driven back at the west gate. Mo Buyu and Mo Liu performed the most prominently at the North Gate, not only killing the two commanders, but also teaming up to injure Shu Zhenghe. Xuan Dong praised the two of them. Then Mo Liu went to Jin Muya's camp again, and Mo Buyu was left alone by Xuan Dong.

Xuan Dong asked Xiang Mobu: "What are your countermeasures against the Xuanjia Army this time?" ”

Mo Buyu thought for a while, and said slowly: "Jianye City has a strong defense, I am afraid that it will definitely cost a lot to break the city, and tonight, the three teams of sergeants have not found a direction that is particularly conducive to attacking the city, and maybe they can consider breaking through from inside Jianye City." ”

Xuan Tong smiled and nodded, and asked again: "How to enter the city?" ”

Mo Buyu understood Xuan Dong's thoughts at this moment, and replied in a low voice: "East Gate." ”
