Chapter 44 Death in Battle
Xu Xiaonian did not have the slightest arrogance to cultivate the true famous family, and sincerely praised Ye Su. He said that the "Xuantian Three Swords" is the supreme skill of the Xuantian Sect, which can challenge beyond the level, but it is difficult to practice. To Xu Xiaonian's surprise, he not only saw the young Yi Xin using the "Xuantian Three Swords", but also saw Ye Su actually use a sword technique that even surpassed the "Xuantian Three Swords".
The two asked and answered questions in the city, but they also talked speculatively. Under the city, Wei Tianrui led the soldiers to clean the battlefield and collect weapons, and they even collected the arrows of the Demon God Army one by one.
The former defenders who had been staying in the city were ordered to dig trenches outside the city, and some soldiers inserted sharpened wooden sticks into the trenches and sprinkled them with thistles.
In the city, soldiers were reinforcing the city walls, and Ye Su even saw some soldiers in the city digging tunnels, and the soil was constantly being sent out. More than a dozen catapults were pushed into the wall by the soldiers. When the people in the city heard that the battle had been won, they actively cooperated and sent water and food.
There are constantly rolling stones, and the sassal wood is transported up to the city tower. There were ten giant bed crossbows that Ye Su had never seen before, and they were arranged by the soldiers in different directions of the city tower. This is a weapon of mass destruction, and it has a huge lethality against a dense local attack.
"Is this preparing for the defense of the city?" Ye Su looked at the busy and orderly back army,
"How could Wei Tianrui be satisfied with just winning a battle, he wanted to turn this outside Ruyang City into the tomb of the Demon God Army. Xu Xiaonian's eyes were blazing, "Arrows, catapults, and those big things, he has already prepared." ”
"Will the Demon God Army still attack?" Ye Su was curious, "How does he know?"
"Didn't he let a few Demon God Army escape in the end?" Xu Xiaonian rolled his eyes, "It's this trick again, hehe, I really want to see it, the Demon God Army is here, how do you feel when you see those two human head Jingguan." ”
"You seem to know him very well?" Ye Su was actually still curious, "He can command paladins, obviously a member of the Demon Sect, doesn't it mean that your cultivation realm and the Demon Sect are mortal enemies?"
"It's a mortal enemy, but we're all from Beiliang. Xu Xiaonian leaned on the city wall and said, "This time the Western Qin is menacing, and it is not simple. The First Elder of the Demon Sect chatted with our Immortal Sect Master for a night and decided to join forces to fight the enemy. ”
While chatting, Wei Tianrui came over and hugged his fists at the two. He was followed by Pei Yu, who did not directly enter the battlefield this time.
"Thank you, if it weren't for you, maybe the breakthrough would have been opened by them. Wei Tianrui sighed, "I still underestimated the strength of the Demon God Army, we lost more than half of the battle, it's sad." ”
"General Wei, don't be discouraged, the whole army is looking at you now. Xu Xiaonian stepped forward and patted him, "We won this battle, look at those defenders who were originally demoralized, and now they are full of energy." ”
"The fierce battle is still to come. Wei Tianrui's face was worried.
"Have you noticed a problem?" Xu Xiaonian looked at everyone, "It's that the Demon God Army went to the back, and suddenly seemed to be deflated, and its combat effectiveness was not as good as that of ordinary soldiers, so it was wiped out by us like chopping melons and vegetables." ”
"That's the only good news. Wei Tianrui frowned, "I wonder if their state of super combat effectiveness can't last." ”
"Quite possibly. Ye Su suddenly thought, "The Demon God Army is made in batches in a short period of time, which is unreasonable, when they are trained to become the Demon God Army, they have to take medicine, which may be the negative effect of that medicine." ”
"If so, we still have a chance. Wei Tianrui slapped the wall hard.
After a few people continued to analyze, they went back to the camp to rest. Pei Yu grabbed Ye Su and said that after this battle, he hoped that Ye Su would go to the Demon Sect with him. The Nine Styles of the Demon Knife, after all, is the sword technique of the Demon Sect, and I hope it can be passed on to the descendants of the Demon Sect. Ye Su agreed, this is indeed from someone else's sect.
Wei Tianrui was busy for three days, inspecting various preparations and training the cooperation between the teams. Calling on the people of the whole city to defend the city together, the morale of the Beiliang army was unprecedentedly high.
In the past three days, Ye Su has not been idle. Pei Yu said that the Nine Styles of the Demon Knife, with the Demon Sect's mental method, are more powerful. passed on Ye Su's set of Demon Sect mental methods: Burning the Heart. Ye Su is still a beginner, but he used this mental method to make the magic knife, which was even more violent and fierce, and his power increased greatly.
Three days later, in the early morning, the trumpet sounded. The Demon God Army outside the city came, a full 20,000. When they saw the two corpses piled up on the heads, their hearts trembled and they were angry. All along, the invincible Demon God Army still believes in its absolute strength. They directly launched a charge, besieging the city. They believe that the last defeat was mainly due to the Paladins of the Demon Sect and three times with their enemies.
And they also knew that when the 10,000 Demon God Army was destroyed, the other party must have paid an immeasurable price. This time, there are 20,000 demon god troops, and they will definitely be able to conquer Ruyang City.
Wei Tianrui didn't lead the army out of the city this time, and looked at the roaring Demon God Army about to arrive in front of the city. He waved his hand towards the city, and suddenly, the front Demon God Army fell into a large pit and fell to the ground one after another, and after falling into the pit, a fire broke out in the pit, and it burned in an instant. Terrible screams echoed in the air.
The Demon God Army panicked instantly, but they all spared the big pit and continued to move forward. Wei Tianrui gave an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, especially the ten giant bed crossbows, dozens of arrows fired in succession, and the power was amazing. The Demon God Army fell one after another.
Obviously, the Demon God Army didn't expect so many tricks from the other party, and the bow and crossbow were much stronger than the previous Beiliang Army. But the charge has been launched, and they can only move forward, and they believe that as long as they attack the city, the Beiliang army will only be crushed.
The Demon God Army was blocked by the trench and slowed down its attack, while the Bearer Army took the opportunity to release arrows frantically. What makes the Demon God Army even more painful is that there are catapults, which are really unguardable.
"The Demon God Army is brave and not afraid of death. Wei Tianrui was shocked, "If it weren't for the fact that they have been winning battles easily for so long and believing too much in their own strength, they would not have fallen into my trap so easily." ”
The Demon God Army, which had suffered heavy casualties, crossed the trench and began to attack the city directly. Climb the ladder to the city wall and attack the city gates. But the Beiwei army prepared rolling stones and sassal wood for them. The Demon God Army was smashed, and they, who were good at close combat, felt really aggrieved.
Wei Tianrui commanded in the city tower, although the Demon God Army suffered heavy casualties, they were too fast, and most of them still arrived at the city tower. Wei Tianrui personally stepped forward to guard, if the Demon God Army attacked the city, with the current military strength, it would not be able to stop them. Death will not allow them to climb the walls.
The tragic siege battle began, with the archers in the rear of the Demon God Army covering, and part of the front attacked the city with a ladder of climbing, and part of it slammed into the city gate.
The Beiwei army fell with boiling hot oil, and a torch came down, and the besieging demon god army fell into a sea of fire. However, it still failed to stop the pace of the Demon God Army's attack.
The Demon God Army was too fast, and there was a weak defensive position, and they climbed up in an instant. The Beiwei army can only attack one more, but as long as there is a demon god army in that place to climb the city tower, there will be a steady stream of demon god troops to climb up.
At this point in the battle, there was no longer any need to care about tactics, and both sides could only rely on face-to-face desperately.
