Chapter 91: Fangling County (I)
The sun rises in the east, and its path is bright.
However, the weather was hot and sweaty, and the war horses also snorted from time to time and let out a scorching breath.
On the wall of Fangling County, the guard Zhang Ying is like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth in the city gate tower, sighing from time to time, resentful from time to time, and looking west from time to time.
A large army approached the city, which not only disturbed his dreams, but also made him tremble.
Zhang Ying is Zhang Lu's distant brother, just a food, drink, prostitute and gamble, and being able to get the post of Fangling County guard is purely the result of Zhang Lu's cronyism. As a guard in Fangling County, Zhang Ying is not to mention how happy he is.
Now, this dream-like life has been shattered by the army under the city.
Hanzhong and Jingzhou, want to come to the well water and not the river water. Therefore, the 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers in Zhuyang Pass will basically not enter the border of Hanzhong; And Zhang Lujun in Hanzhong will not cross Fangling County without trouble.
It will inevitably cause misunderstanding, in Fangling County, Zhang Lu only deployed an old and weak soldier, mainly for early warning.
Therefore, Zhang Ying was drunk and dreamed of death in Fangling County, and he never thought that the Jingzhou soldiers would one day come to the city.
Yes, in Zhang Ying's view, the army under the city is the Jingzhou soldiers.
Didn't you see a huge "Liu" character on the big banner of that army?
After Zhang Ying was awakened by the alarm bell in the city, he immediately sent a fast horse to warn Shangyong City and ask for help.
As for when the fast horse will be able to run to Shangyong City, no one knows.
Now, Zhang Ying only hopes that the more than 1,000 old and weak people in Fangling County can hold on for a day or two, and stick to Shangyong City to send troops to help.
"Hurry up, bring all the rolling wood and stones, crossbowmen, bed crossbows, all ready!"
Zhang Ying scolded from time to time, expecting the soldiers to complete the deployment faster.
Under the city, three arrows away, the army is in a strong formation.
The 5,000 infantry troops have been resting for more than half an hour, and when they give an order, they will rush to the city gate like a tide.
There were no ladders, no trebuchets, and no other siege equipment. The city wall of Fangling County is only about two zhang and a half, which can stop ordinary soldiers, but it can't stop the martial artists of the Ning Gang Realm. Therefore, attacking Fangling County, there is no need for siege equipment at all.
"General Guan, General Zhang, let's watch the performances of the two generals next!"
Looking at the panic on the city wall, Zhuge Liang naturally would not give the enemy time to set up defenses, and smiled at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu stroked his beard with his left hand and held a knife in his right hand, and said with a smile: "It's just a small city, what's so difficult about this?" ”
"Mr. Kong Ming, let's watch!"
After that, he took a few spears from the soldiers, and rode his horse to the city wall of Fangling County.
"I'm going to fly too!"
Behind, Zhang Fei also held a few spears and ran towards the city wall.
Long guns, many uses.
It can be thrown as a javelin, or it can be stuck in a wall and used to borrow power when jumping over a wall.
After all, no matter how awesome a Condensing Gang Realm martial artist is, it is impossible to jump three feet high all at once.
……
Fangling County, on the city wall.
Zhang Ying was originally urging the city defense, but at this time, he suddenly aimed at the two horsemen who were killed, and the whole person was not good.
Zhang Ying didn't know the two horsemen killed under the city, but fools knew that those who dared to attack the city defense on a single horse were definitely awesome warriors.
If the city wall is covered with strong bows and crossbows, plus dozens of bed crossbows, it will naturally not be afraid of the martial artists of the Gang Realm to break through the city alone.
However, Fangling County is just a small city, and it is only used as an early warning. There were bed crossbows, but there were only two; There were also crossbowmen, but there were less than a hundred. In the face of the two people who rushed to kill, the bow and crossbow of this number of bed crossbows were drizzling.
"Bed crossbow, crossbowman, aim and shoot for General Ben!"
Zhang Ying's face was hideous, and his voice was trembling, but he still knew what to do at this time.
No matter how small the number of bed crossbows and crossbowmen is, they must be used to know.
What if, the blind cat runs into a dead mouse?
Two bed crossbows, operated by dozens of soldiers, wound, set up crossbow guns, and then fired, all in one go.
It's a pity, maybe it's because the bed crossbowmen's techniques are unfamiliar, or maybe they didn't master the advance amount, and the two crossbow guns failed to shoot at the target, but instead rushed more than ten steps in front of Liu Jun's formation, three feet deep into the ground.
The crossbowmen also began to shoot at this time, and most of the arrows were on target.
It's just that when these arrow rains arrived at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's side, they were all bounced away by a layer of true qi shield.
The release of the true qi of the martial artists of the Condensing Gang Realm has a variety of applications, such as covering the whole body with true qi and forming a layer of true qi shield, which can make people break through the rain of bullets, but the consumption of true qi is a bit large.
They were about to approach the city wall, and almost at the same time, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu threw a spear.
The spear was attached to True Qi and cut through a parabola to accurately hit the bed crossbow on the city wall. As if a cannonball was bombarded on the fort, in an instant, the bed crossbow, which had just been about to be fired again, was blown to pieces, and the fragments were scattered in all directions, and many nearby defenders were wounded.
The two bed crossbows were destroyed, and dozens of defenders were killed and wounded by the way, and the more than 1,000 old and weak people on the city wall were instantly frightened.
For Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, these two bed crossbows are threats and must be pulled out first.
With the True Qi Shield open, Guan Yu and the others were not afraid of the rain of arrows from the crossbowmen.
However, the crossbow gun shot by the bed crossbow is a layer of membrane.
No matter how Niu is a martial artist in the Ning Gang Realm, if he is hit by a bed crossbow, he will only have the result of Biluo Huangquan.
If it was on flat ground, when facing a bed crossbow, Guan Yu and they could still rely on their martial arts, or block, or dodge, so naturally they didn't need to care about one or two crossbow guns. However, when you jump over the walls later, there is no room to dodge in the air.
……
A couple of spears thrown again.
However, this time, instead of shooting at the enemy troops on the city wall, it was directly inserted into the city wall. At every foot in height, a spear was inserted; These spears are the borrowing points when jumping over the city wall later.
A martial artist in the Condensation Realm can reach a height of more than a zhang with a full jump.
If there is a borrowing point on the wall, theoretically, no matter how high the city wall is, at the feet of the Condensing Gang Realm martial artists, it is just a few more jumps.
Of course, theories are just theories.
If it is a fortified city that is five zhang high, the martial artists of the Condensation Gang Realm must also weigh it.
If there are fewer defenders on the city wall, it will naturally not hurt for the Condensing Gang Realm martial artists to jump a few more times. If there are too many crossbowmen on the city wall, or there are many bed crossbows, etc., in this case, the danger will increase for each additional jump.
Do you really think that a martial artist does not need to consume true qi when he opens a true qi shield?
With the borrowing point, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei jumped directly from the galloping mount, the true qi shield bounced through layers of arrow rain, stepped on a few spears under their feet, and jumped onto the city wall in three steps and two steps.
"Kill!"
A burst of shouts rang out on the city walls, followed by a bloody rain.
Outside the city, watching Guan Yu and Zhang Fei jump onto the city wall, Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord, Fangling County has won." ”
In the mountains to the east, the sun is still rising.
