Chapter 222: Capture the City
Early the next morning, Li Xin and others rushed to the city early. It wasn't so hot in the morning, but it was much more comfortable for the siege.
Moreover, for those who defend the city, under the tension and worry of a night, they must not have slept well. After being woken up early at this time, this spirit is naturally not much better.
The army worked overnight, day and night, and finally rushed out more than 20 siege ladders, in addition to some other large equipment. At this time, surrounded by all the troops, they marched towards the county seat.
"Let's go up together, you two cover me, I'll kill the head of the city first, and after you have a firm foothold, you go up again." As long as the three of us go up, I don't believe that the people in this city can stop it! After arriving at the city, Li Xin explained to Li Erhei and Hu Tian.
"Don't worry, we all know how to do it! I'm sure you'll be taken care of! Li Erhei nodded hurriedly.
The two of them wore armor and held an iron shield in their hands, which they used for cover.
The sound of war drums sounded, and the three hundred Mo swordsmen who were the siege troops immediately began to act, and it was Li Xin and the three of them who ran at the forefront. The long and glittering sword in the hands of the three hundred people made the guards at the head of the city feel surprised!
"It's this thing, it's this thing that kills people like hemp, and no one can stop it. Under one knife, everyone is shattered, and whoever stands in the way will die! "There are defeated soldiers who have fled from Qingshui County and other places on the head of the city, and when they see this thing at this time, they can't help but tremble and say in horror.
"Yes, yes, what can I do? If they kill them, we people won't be able to stop them! ”
"It's over, these people are attacking the city themselves, and they can't hold it. Otherwise, it's better to abandon the city and flee! ”
These people had seen the power of the Mo Dao with their own eyes, and they were very scared when they thought of the scene of flesh and blood flying on the battlefield at the beginning. That terrible impression remains in their minds to this day, and it cannot be erased at all.
In such a situation, let alone a counterattack, I am afraid that it is very difficult for them to stand in front of Mo Dao Hand . All of a sudden, many soldiers were so moved to run away that they didn't even have the idea of fighting.
"What's the panic, no matter how powerful they are, they have to go to the city first! I'd like to see if this thing is as good as it says! "Fu Wu has heard a lot of rumors these days, including a legend that Huashan Army used a mysterious weapon this time. Hearing the words of these people at this moment, I couldn't help but be angry.
There is a way that the ignorant are fearless, and Fu Wu has never seen the power of this weapon, so he naturally does not believe it. After all, this kind of thing is rumored to be too terrible, it is simply not something that people can have!
Of course, it has to be said that rumors are called rumors because most of them are false. The news on the battlefield, after it came and went, had changed so much that in the end, it was completely out of shape.
"Rush!" With the assistance of the archers, Li Xin and his party rushed to the city, and with his shout, siege ladders were erected one after another.
These siege ladders are a bit wide, unlike the usual ones, and they can actually stand three people at the same time. At this time, Li Xin took the lead and rushed to the front, boarding a siege ladder, and next to him, Li Erhei and Hu Tian each raised their shields to protect his safety.
The three of them climbed up to the top of the city.
"Shoot me back, I'm sure to beat them down!" While dodging the bows and arrows under the city, Fu Wu observed Li Xin's movements. As soon as I saw what the three of them were doing, I immediately understood what they meant, and I couldn't help shouting.
Hearing the order, Fu Qin's soldiers immediately ventured out and wanted to lift the stone and smash it towards the three of them. It's a pity that as soon as these people showed their heads, an arrow flew from under the city, and they were shot to the heart!
Li Xin and the three were all important generals of the Huashan Army, especially Li Xin, who was the spiritual pillar of the Huashan Army. Their safety, of course, is first-class.
Therefore, in addition to Li Erhei and Hu Tian personally guarding, Peng Lin and others under the city specially organized a group of archers and directly targeted the city. But if anyone wants to attack Li Xin, they will inevitably be killed by an arrow.
In a short period of time, Li Xin and their siege ladder had already died several people in a row. As a result, the soldiers at the head of the city consciously avoided this place. No one wants to die, everyone wants to save their lives.
In this way, no one could stop Li Xin and the three of them at all. Seeing this, although Na Fu Wu scolded angrily, he didn't dare to stand up himself, he only dared to shout and curse under the battlements.
However, under the heavy reward, there are still some people who are not afraid of death, hiding behind the shield and wanting to sneak attack Li Xin. But their methods were also blocked by Li Erhei and Hu Tian. It's also thanks to the fact that both of them are brave people, otherwise, it would be impossible to stop them.
The city walls of Xinxing County are not very high, only five or six meters in total. Therefore, it didn't take long for Li Xin and the three of them to climb to the top of the city. In this case, everyone else's offense is more or less the same.
Under these circumstances, the archers' suppression of the city was finally over. Fu Wu, who was finally relieved, was about to lead the soldiers to counterattack, but found that it was too late, because Li Xin and the others had already jumped off the battlements.
"Come on, give it to me, you must block them! If anyone kills Li Xin, this king will invite the court, not only will he be rewarded, but he will also be crowned king! When Fu Wu saw this scene, he secretly said something bad in his heart. I didn't want to think about it, so I shouted directly.
Such tempting conditions suddenly made some greedy and bold people tempted. Originally, some people who had seen Li Erhei and their power wanted to retreat at this time, but this will slowly surround them.
"Hmph, I want to see who dares to step forward!" Seeing this, Li Xin couldn't help sneering and said coldly.
Then, regardless of anything else, with a wave of the Mo knife in his hand, he rushed towards those soldiers. And Li Erhei and Hu Tian, who were beside them, threw the shield in their hands at this time, drew ~ their sabers, and killed them on the other side.
The three of them are all brave people, and those ordinary Fu Qin soldiers have already seen their strength, where can they stop them at this time. Li Xin stabbed down a few times, and several corpses lay on the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.
At this time, other people who had not seen the power of the Mo Dao finally knew why those people were afraid. And when the Mo swordsmen from other places also came to the city under the cover of Li Xin, they were finally unstoppable.
"Kill!" On the not too wide head of the city, the Huashan Army Mo swordsmen divided the enemy army into small sections. Then, with loud shouts in unison, Mo Dao waved and kept moving forward.
In a short period of time, the entire city was already filled with the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling.
"Hurry up, transfer all the soldiers and horses at the other city gates to this king, and you must block them. Shoot them all! When Fu Wu saw this scene, he couldn't help but be terrified. It's only been a lot of time, and his soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, so how can he keep going! Thinking of the consequences of losing the city, he immediately ordered more soldiers and horses to come over.
When Li Xin and them fought at the head of the city, Zhou Tong and the others had just arrived in the southwest of the county.
The mountains are densely wooded, and the weather is hot at this time, so if you walk through them, you will inevitably encounter a lot of poisonous insects and beasts.
If it weren't for the guidance of local guides, they wouldn't have been able to find such a way out on their own. It was precisely because this place was too secretive, so Fu Wu and the others didn't expect Zhou Tong to appear from the other side at all.
Fortunately, the road was difficult, but it wasn't long, otherwise, by the time they got around, the battle would have been over.
"General, there is a big battle going on in the county, and Na Fuwu has now mobilized all the soldiers and horses to the east of the city to block the generals. At this time, the west of the city is empty, let's do it! A few miles outside the city, Zhou Tong quietly hid with his men and horses, and at this time, the scouts sent out came back to report.
"Brothers, I know you've been tired all night, but now that the generals are fighting hard in front, how can we stand by and watch here? How about going into the city with me, taking the county seat, and resting again? Zhou Tong nodded, then stood up, looked at the tired soldier behind him, and said in a deep voice.
"Please give the order of the Admiral!" The armies answered in unison, and not a single one complained!
"Okay, follow me and rush over and take the emerging county!"
A thousand men and horses, under his leadership, slaughtered out of the mountains and forests in a blink of an eye, and then went straight to the west gate.
In Xinxing County, the soldiers and horses at the other three gates had just been mobilized to the east gate to resist Li Xin's attack, and there were less than 200 people left behind.
"Oh no, there are enemies outside the city! Hurry up and report to the general! The defenders at the head of the city suddenly saw this large group of men and horses coming violently, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and the general in charge hurriedly asked people to report that Fu Wu had gone.
Zhou Tong and others went to the city, erected a few simple siege ladders, and then began to attack the city.
At this time, Li Xin and others, who were fighting in the east of the city, had not yet opened up the situation for a while because they were surrounded by many enemies. But at this moment, the news of Zhou Tong's siege of the city came, and the soldiers at the head of the city suddenly became turbulent.
Li Xin seized this opportunity and fought fiercely with Li Erhei and Hu Tian, and finally fought his way out and joined the other Mo swordsmen. In this way, no one can stop them, and in the end, the group went directly to the city gate cave and opened the city gate directly.
