Chapter 16: The Siege
Gao Cheng killed the middle-aged man who delivered the letter with a single blow, and then said in a cold voice: "Jiang Qin, Dong Xi." You guys are ready to attack the city tomorrow! Even if there is no Chen clan as the internal response, our army can still break through the city! Chen Qi used the city that originally belonged to me to negotiate terms with me, and it was a good idea, but unfortunately I didn't give him this opportunity!"
As he spoke, he flicked his hands, the fire flashed, and the letters in his hands instantly turned into ashes.
In fact, on the letter sent by Chen Jue, the words were humble and he put his position very low, but unfortunately Gao Cheng had already made up his mind and was ready to move the Chen family from Guangling and completely control the entire county in his hands. So Gao Cheng deliberately acted and put an arrogant hat on Chen Qi and Chen Deng.
Now that the middle-aged man who sent the letter is dead, and the letter he sent was also burned by Gao Cheng, Xi Zhicai and Bu Qi glanced at each other, they didn't see the content of the letter, so they just wondered why Chen Qi was so unwise, and didn't expect Gao Cheng to lie.
"The last general commands!" Jiang Qin and Dong Xi hurriedly stepped forward and said when they heard the order.
Gao Cheng waved his hand and asked the two of them to deal with the affairs of the army first, and then said to Xi Zhicai and Bu Qi: "Tomorrow, our army will attack the city, in addition to guarding against the mirror of the sky, we also need to prevent the other party from casting large-scale spells. Zhicai, this Heavenly Banner will be handed over to you to control!"
With a stroke of thought, he took out a flag from dimensional space. This is the artifact that Gao Cheng seized when he killed the elders of the Yuan family, and the power contained in this artifact is far inferior to the chariot of Emperor Shun and the jade seal of the country. However, it is also a treasure that is not weak, and handing it over to Xi Zhicai can improve his strength a lot.
"Heavenly Banner!"
Xi Zhicai directly took this treasure, sensed the divine power contained in it, and couldn't help laughing: "Thank you, lord, leave this matter to me, there is the Heavenly Banner to lock the void and shield the vitality, as long as you are not a cultivator of the ninth layer of soul refining, you don't want to cast a large-scale spell in front of me!"
Seeing this, Bu Qi's eyes showed a slight hint of envy. The Huaiyin Bu clan also has a heritage artifact, but the divine power in the artifact has been exhausted, unless someone in the family becomes a third-order divine power realm powerhouse, they can use the divine power to warm the treasure and restore the power of the artifact.
Gao Cheng noticed his expression, and did not find any emotions such as jealousy or resentment, and nodded secretly in his heart. An inheritance artifact like the Heavenly Banner has little effect on him, and instead of storing it in the space, it is better to reward his subordinates for making the best use of it.
Of course, before rewarding the treasure, Gao Cheng secretly used Xiao Tiangang's forbidden method of refining the treasure to refine the Heavenly Banner again, leaving an imprint in the depths of the core of this treasure. As long as the thought moves, he can take back the treasure again, eliminating the possibility that someone will use his last artifact to deal with him in the future.
With such means, Gao Cheng has no worries. In the future, he will seize the Heavenly Mirror from Chen Qi, and he will also give this treasure to Gao Tai, so that he can have the hole card to sit in the rear.
......
On the second day, the dull sound of the horn sounded, and the camp that had been in a silent state suddenly became lively and noisy, and countless soldiers walked out of the camp tent, and formed a military formation under the leadership of Captain Dubo, and then formed a large formation in a small formation, and after most of the hour, a neat formation appeared outside the camp.
The black-pressed soldiers stretched as far as the eye could see, and some of the soldiers pushed the stone throwers to the front of the large array, surrounded by huge stones. After several years of development, the Yangzhou army has been tempered in terms of its own quality, weapons, and means of attacking the city. A few days ago, under the city of Huaiyin, the Yangzhou army did not even use one-tenth of the means, and captured the city with a small test.
Guangling and Huaiyin are different, this is an important town in Xuzhou, the thickness of the city wall and the soldiers and horses defending the city are far beyond Huaiyin, so Dong Xi and Jiang Qin are ready to go all out.
On the city wall, Zhao Yu, Chen's father and son stood on the city wall, Zhao Yu's face was no different from yesterday, but he had changed into a suit of armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and he was ready to defend the city.
"Father...... What's going on? Gao Cheng didn't reply to us yesterday, didn't the family send the letter to him?" Chen Deng secretly shook his spiritual power, using his heart and mind to convey what he wanted to say.
Chen Jue's expression was calm, his eyes flickered, his eyes swept over the Yangzhou army and the stone thrower in the distance, and then said: "There is this possibility! Otherwise, if there is a chance to easily capture the city wall, Gao Cheng will definitely not consume his troops to attack forcibly!"
"Then what should we do now? When Zhao Yu forcibly recruited Ding Zhuang in the city, many of our Chen clan's children were also recruited. Gao Cheng forcibly attacked the city, and they were very likely to die, affecting the strength of our Chen clan!" Chen Deng's expression was a little unpleasant.
Chen Jue's lips moved slightly, and said: "Be patient, it's just the first day of attacking the city, the Guangling city wall is thick, and the soldiers defending the city are as high as 300,000, and in a few days, the Yangzhou army can't touch the city at all." Wait for the family to send the news back!"
When Chen Deng heard this, he frowned, and he didn't know why he always had a bad premonition in his heart, like a very important place that he didn't take into account.
At this moment, Zhao Yu turned his head and said to the two: "Gong Chen, there is still the Yangzhou army at the south gate of Guangling, can you let Yuanlong go to the south gate to guard against Jiang Qin's soldiers and horses?"
Chen Qi pondered and nodded. Now that the situation is unclear, the two of them have to assist Zhao Yu in guarding the city. So there was no rejection of the other party's offer.
After the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo and the world was completely in chaos, the masters of refining Gang and refining souls emerged in an endless stream, and now the generals who led the troops to attack the city and plunder the land could not even suppress the army without refining Gang cultivation.
Similarly, if there is no second-order powerhouse who refines Gang or refines souls to guard the city, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will not be able to stop the attack of the martial arts generals.
The higher the power level of the world, the less useful the ordinary soldiers.
......
"Stone-throwing truck ready!"
Dong Xi rode back and forth in front of the large army formation, his voice was fierce, and he let out a roar, and the soldiers behind the stone thrower followed his command and began to carry the stones, and then one of the stone throwers roared and threw a stone high.
Whew!
The stones whistled in the air and slammed into the city walls, causing a shock. Chen Jue's face on the city wall changed slightly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Zhao Yu: "Taishou, this is the enemy correcting the position of the stone thrower, hurry up and give an order, let the soldiers get ready!"
"Okay! Captain Huang and Captain Xiang...... You all do what Gong Chen said!" Zhao Yu hurriedly shouted, commanding the two subordinates.
He was not proficient in military affairs and defending the city, and he also knew his shortcomings, so after hearing Chen Qi's suggestion, he hurriedly did what he said, and constantly issued banners, so that the soldiers defending the city raised their shields and curtains, and tried to weaken the damage of stones and bows and arrows as much as possible.
Dong Xi did correct the position of the stone thrower.
After defecting to the Yangzhou army, he followed Gao Tai to train soldiers in Shouchun, and got some training and siege methods in Wumu's suicide note from him, and his ability to command troops to fight has increased a lot. Unlike before, he would only charge into battle and be brave.
Whoosh!
Two more stones were thrown, and after the last calibration, this time the stone thrower directly sent the stones to the city wall of Guangling, and there were two loud bangs. The stones directly blurred the flesh and blood of dozens of defenders of the city, and screamed again and again.
