Chapter 387: First Defeat

Seeing Mu Ce, Zhang Sui and the imperial lord were both surprised.

When he assassinated Changping Jun at the beginning, the Praetorian Guard led by Leng Muning broke through Changping Jun's mansion, but let Mu Ce escape.

What people didn't expect was that he would be here in Weicheng!

Seeing Zhang Sui's somewhat stunned appearance, Changping Jun raised his chin high and looked down at Zhang Sui and the others: "Zhang Sui, today's Guo, the cause of the day!" If you can't meet my requirements today, I can guarantee that you have nothing to do with Weicheng! Moreover, do you know that Zhao State and Yan State have already joined forces to send troops, and they will attack here in less than half a month! ”

"Zhao Ming, the general of Zhao State, has promised the king that when the army of Yan and Zhao is approaching the city, as long as we open the city to give way, they will not commit any offense against Weichengqiu."

King Qin's face turned blue with anger, and he said angrily: "This is a brainless person!" If the Yan-Zhao coalition army all attacked here, as soon as Weicheng gave way, how could they not commit any offense against Weichengqiu? ”

Zhang Sui shook his head and said: "This Mu Ce is not without brains, on the contrary, I think that it is his ultimate goal to sell Weicheng to earn meritorious deeds and curry favor with the Yan and Zhao coalition forces." ”

"What then?" King Qin hurriedly said: "Yan Zhao is actually united!" The moment we go late, there will be countless people of Great Qin who will be slaughtered! When the Zhao army broke through Xianyang, all the people who did not withdraw from Xianyang were all killed by them! That is a group of executioners without conscience, and they can do it to ordinary people! ”

The Qing Hades King said: "Since this is the case, then give the order to attack the city!" If you can fight without blood, that's the best situation, but if you can't, breaking the city as soon as possible is the best policy. ”

Guan Bei rode up on a war horse and said, "Zhang Sui, I agree with the proposal of the Blue Hades King, the sooner the better." Moreover, this is the first time we have encountered obstacles, and it is also within the Qin State. If it drags on today, it will definitely leave thoughts for the rest of the princes' fiefdoms in Great Qin, and they all want to proclaim themselves kings. ”

"Storm the city with lightning speed!" Xun Que followed up and said, "Brother Sui, you don't need to break through the city gate, I have a set of formations called 'Xiangniao Formation'." However, this formation must be centered on me, and then allocate ninety-nine dead soldiers with superb cultivation. With the blessing of the 'Flying Bird Array', the speed of the dead soldiers in the formation can be greatly improved. However, the only drawback of this formation is that I can't climb the city wall, so I need to borrow your phoenix. ”

"Xunque's method can be tried." King Qin said: "If Weicheng can be broken with minimal losses, it will have an extremely favorable effect on the subsequent war." ”

Zhang Sui looked at the walls of Weicheng in silence.

The wall of Weicheng is nearly ten zhang high, and on top of the city wall, there are dense archers and crossbow archers.

Beside the city walls, there are also countless horns, falling stones.

Outside the city walls, there is also a moat.

And from the constantly moving sentry posts on the city wall, it can be seen that there is definitely an extremely large number of troops waiting in Weicheng.

In the face of so much military strength, it is obviously unrealistic to break through Weicheng in an ordinary way.

Zhang Sui turned his head and looked at the Qing Hades King, Guan Bei and the others: "Although I am only a commander, I don't know the art of war. The siege will be handed over to Guanbei to command, if Guanbei thinks it can be implemented, then follow Xunque's method to attack the city! ”

Zhang Sui asked King Qin and King Qingying, "I don't know if this is okay?" ”

King Qin nodded and said, "The widow trusts your judgment. ”

The Blue Hades King said, "That's it! ”

Guan Bei's eyes lit up slightly, and he didn't twist, and rode back to the 100,000 demon army.

As the voices sounded, in less than half an hour, ninety-nine senior demon captains ran out.

Then, a phalanx of thousand-man crossbow archers was ready.

Guan Bei said to Xun Que: "You lead ninety-nine masters to use your formation to attack the past, and there will be a thousand crossbow arrow phalanxes behind you to cover you." ”

Xun Que took the order and walked to the ninety-nine senior demon captains, and each of them distributed for a few moments.

I saw Xun Que constantly gesturing there, and after about a stick of incense, ninety-nine senior demon captains stood around Xun Que in a formation of Dapeng spreading their wings.

"Brother Sui, your phoenix!" Xun Que said loudly.

As Zhang Sui summoned the phoenix out of the void of reincarnation, the phoenix flew towards Xun Que, who stood on top of the phoenix crown and pointed his big hand in the direction of the Weicheng city wall.

"Drink!"

Ninety-nine high-level demon captains let out a roar in unison, and each of them was shrouded in a layer of milky white light, as if ninety-nine flowers were blooming!

Ninety-nine flowers gradually swelled and gathered together to form a huge white bird!

Seeing this, Guan Bei raised his right hand vigorously and shouted: "Drum up!" ”

Among the 100,000 demon army, twelve war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth!

"Kill!"

With a roar from Xun Que, the big white bird suddenly flew up on the battlefield!

A thousand demon phalanxes followed closely, and the crossbow arrows were pointed straight at the void!

Guan Bei rode a war horse and stood at the front of the phalanx of a thousand demons, and his right hand was raised high again.

On the wall of Weicheng, Mu Ce's face was gloomy, he looked at the big white bird galloping over, and mocked: "Zhang Sui, in the past, you had Leng Commander to help you, today, I want to see who can help you!" ”

"Ready!"

As Mu Ce gave an order, one command after another sounded.

"Archers ready!"

"Ballista ready!"

"The rockfall is ready!"

"The trebuchet is ready!"

Mu Ce looked down at the big white bird that was already less than three hundred steps under the city wall, a sneer crossed his face, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Attack! ”

Under the city wall, Guan Bei's right hand was put down heavily, and he roared violently: "Shoot!" ”

The sky of Weicheng was instantly covered by feather arrows in the sky!

In the void, the sound of feather arrows colliding constantly echoed.

Countless feathered arrows fell like raindrops.

The big white bird constantly has "feathers" falling off.

Finally, the big white bird ran under the city walls.

Countless falling rocks and flames fell from the city walls, and the large white bird shrank rapidly.

King Qin, King Qing Hades and the others watched as the senior demon captains continued to fall and die, and their faces were gloomy.

When the big white bird flew to the height of one-third of the city wall, it had already shrunk by one-third!

Seeing this, Guan Bei shouted helplessly: "Mingjin collects the troops!" ”

On the city wall, Xun Que looked up at the falling rocks and other attacks above his head, sighed leisurely, and with a wave of his big hand, the big white bird flew down the city wall quickly and retreated.

The first wave of the offensive failed.

Xun Que returned to the demon army with a phalanx of less than sixty senior demon captains, knelt in front of Zhang Sui, King Qin, and King Qingying, and said, "I was careless, let us lose dozens of senior demon captains, please punish the commander." ”

King Qin looked at the Green Hades King, who shook his head and said, "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. The other party is obviously prepared, there are only 100 of you, and it's normal that you can't beat it. After all, it's not a one-man operation. If you fight alone, if you fail like this, you don't have to ask for punishment, I will also recommend beheading you! ”

Seeing that the Qing Hades King did not pursue Xun Que's responsibility, King Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she is the largest here, the army is all demons after all.

On the wall of Weicheng, Mu Ce stroked his beard under his chin with his right hand, and laughed: "Zhang Sui, you are really a waste!" Without Commander Leng, you won't be able to achieve anything! ”

Zhang Sui's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Mu Ce's expression that was almost deformed with a smile, and jumped off from Xiao Ye.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Sui asked the King of Qin behind him: "King Qin, can these Qin soldiers standing on the wall of Weicheng now be killed?" ”

King Qin frowned and looked up at the wall of Weicheng, and said in a deep voice: "Although they are still the people of Great Qin, but at this moment, they are helping to abuse, and they can be killed!" ”

Zhang Sui exhaled the breath in his mouth and said, "You all retreat a mile." Kanbei, let all the soldiers prepare to attack the city! ”

King Qin and the others looked at each other one after another, but they still retreated.

Kanbei rode up on a war horse and wondered, "Is it just like this?" Zhang Sui, let me think about it again, maybe there is a better way. Weicheng's defenses were unexpectedβ€”"

Zhang Sui said: "No, you just let everyone get ready to attack, and as soon as the city wall is broken, you will attack it!" ”

"How can such a high wall be broken?" Guan Bei looked dazed.

A seven-colored word "king" gradually appeared in the center of Zhang Sui's forehead, and he said in a deep voice: "You go and prepare, just leave the matter of the city wall to me." ”
