Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Xiqiang rebels approached the city, densely occupying the range of thirty or forty miles outside the east gate of Ledu City, rushing in the direction of the city wall and the city gate, and the rebel soldiers who rushed to the front soon engaged the archers defending on the city wall.
The archers who fought with Yang Rui were also rebel archers, which was beyond Yang Rui's expectations, and looking at the range and power of their arrows, the level of these archers was never lower than the 4th order, or even higher, and Yang Rui's 4th level archers could only suppress the rebel archers by taking advantage of the terrain and numbers!
What Yang Rui didn't know was that at this time, these archers of the rebels did not wield their strongest combat power, in fact, the identities of these archers were all 5th-order archers, due to the blockage of the auxiliary river, they lost the reliance of their war horses, and then it was a siege war, which made the advantages of these 5th-order archers lost, and they couldn't even swing the power of the 4th-order, which was suppressed by Yang Rui's archers!
If this were not the case, in the case of a flat encounter, I am afraid that Yang Rui's archers would suffer a big loss! Although these archers of the Xiqiang rebels do not belong to the 5th order special class, they are also the special class of forces, which is only half a grade lower than the special class.
While the rebel 5th-order archers engaged Yang Rui's long-range archers, the rebel infantry were also not far behind. After Yang Rui burned the rebels' wooden platoons, poplar timber and other materials, the other party actually built some wooden ladders for siege in a very short period of time, which were being used by the Xiqiang rebel soldiers to climb and storm the city wall.
There were even some rebel soldiers who used poplar wood to cross the river and use it to climb the city wall or ram the city gate, but the effect would not be too good.
As early as when the Xiqiang rebels were preparing poplar wood, wooden rafts and other materials to cross the Fu River, Yang Rui also packed up a large amount of timber in the warehouse of Ledu City and demolished a lot of useless buildings, and took the timber and piled it up in the open area outside the East City Gate. At this time, the rebels were swarming, and this arrangement came in handy.
Yang Rui nodded, and saw Zhang Ning, who was originally standing silently on the East City Gate, raised his hand slightly, and the Heavenly Spirit Law Sword pointed diagonally into the sky. The color of the sky where the magic sword was directed immediately changed to a fiery red, and then I saw fist-sized fireballs smashing down from the fire clouds, and the landing point happened to hit several large wooden piles facing the city gate, covering a large area of 2oo*2oom2 around.
"Crackling"
"Boom Boom"
"Ahh
"Help!"
These large piles of timber and timber were instantly ignited by the rain of fire, and the surrounding rebel soldiers immediately suffered, most of the soldiers were burned to death without snorting, and some of the soldiers in the marginal area also turned into burning men. Running around, carrying the flames in all directions.
When placing the wood and wood, Yang Rui considered the size of Zhang Ning's skill range, and the first few piles that were ignited were located at the edge of the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain, and then Yang Rui also scattered the wood and wood to the ground in the periphery, the purpose was to lead the fire to a farther position.
However, due to the fact that the outside of the east gate of Ledu City is really a bit open, and the coverage of the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill is not very large. The weather was sunny and windless, so the spread of the fire was not significant, but it slowly extended unhurriedly to the surroundings, and it did not expand as quickly as Yang Rui expected, and the role of blocking the enemy was not obvious.
Therefore, Yang Rui had no choice but to let Zhang Ning stop, so as not to waste his Dao skill value reserves in vain. Zhang Ning's extremely powerful Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill, but the casualties of the rebels this time were only two or three thousand. Once this trick is used, it cannot be reused for the next 3 hours.
In contrast, Yang Rui's other hand prepared a little better. While demolishing useless buildings to obtain wood, Yang Rui also obtained a lot of stones, and there were already a lot of stones stored in the warehouse of Ledu City, Yang Rui took advantage of the stage before the war to transport these stones to the east city wall, and when the rebel soldiers rushed under the city wall intensively, large pieces of stone had been thrown down from the city wall by Yang Rui's soldiers!
"Ahh
"Get out of the way!"
ββ
All of these stones were headed for the most densely populated rebels, often smashing into large patches, and the damage caused was considerable! And the people who were specifically responsible for the stone-throwing duties were the thousands of first-order Yellow Turban soldiers who were transformed from Zhang Ning.
"System Prompt: Congratulations on obtaining 1 copy of the mission to exterminate the Xiqiang rebels."
The screams and struggles of the Xiqiang rebels under the city kept coming along with the system prompts. The offensive and defensive battle between the Xiqiang rebels and Yang Rui fell into a stalemate from the beginning.
Yang Rui only has about 10,000 soldiers under him, and in the face of hundreds of times the Xiqiang rebels, even if there is a city wall to rely on, it is like a flat boat in the sea, which may be submerged at any time; Although the Xiqiang rebels had a numerical advantage, they couldn't even advance an inch in the face of strong cities, rain of arrows and constantly flying rolling stones!
Although the two sides are temporarily in a stalemate and balance, and the Xiqiang soldiers have been constantly damaged. On Yang Rui's side, the casualties are very low, but once this situation continues, it will inevitably become more and more unfavorable to Yang Rui's side! The number of people on the other side is too much, even if you use the tactics of crowds to pile up, it is estimated that in the end, it will be difficult for Yang Rui's side to hold the city without losing!
"System Prompt: Congratulations on obtaining 1 copy of the mission to exterminate the Xiqiang rebels."
Yang Rui's system prompt for obtaining task verification has never stopped. Due to being in a state of defending the city, it was difficult for Yang Rui to get his hands on other items dropped by the Xiqiang rebels for a while, only the task verification was directly put into the backpack, so the number has been continuously growing! An hour after the rebels crossed the river, the number of mission verifications obtained by Yang Rui has exceeded 2ooo, that is, the number of Xiqiang rebels eliminated has exceeded 1o!
Until this time, the attack of the Xiqiang rebels has not been interrupted, due to the strong attack of the rebels, the soldiers defending the city, especially the 4th and 5th order archers, have approached the limit, which is still on the basis of Zhang Ning's "recuperation" skills are fully opened, and the body of the soldiers has doubled! Moreover, Zhang Ning would shift his position on the city wall from time to time, and constantly use his "recuperation" skills to restore the body of the soldiers.
Seeing this situation, Yang Rui frowned slightly, and took out two Taiping Dao talisman seals from his backpack.
"Wind Talisman: Taiping Dao Spell Talisman, which can generate strong winds, with a range of 1ooo meters and a duration of half an hour! Limit: 1/1. β
"Flood Talisman: Taiping Dao Spell Talisman, after urging, it can be within a width of 1oom, causing indiscriminate flood coverage! Limit: 1/1. β
Among the two talismans, the "Wind Talisman" was obtained by Yang Rui at Zhang Mancheng's residence in Nanyang City; And the "Flood Charm" was obtained by Yang Rui, Qi Zheng and others when they attacked the Yellow Turban camp at the beginning of the plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising.
These two talisman seals have not been used by Yang Rui since they were obtained, and before the battle, Yang Rui turned them over when he was thinking about countermeasures, but at this time, the battle against the Xiqiang rebels came in handy!
Yang Rui waved his hand to first urge the "Wind Talisman" away, and pointed towards the area where Zhang Ning had previously cast the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain, and a hurricane suddenly rose from the ground, rotating outward with full power, where Yang Rui's finger pointed, where the hurricane would blow.
Although the power of the hurricane is great, it will not cause damage to the Xiqiang rebel soldiers, but if it is combined with the several fire points that originally existed, it will be very different!
Previously, although Zhang Ning used the Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill to cover a small area, it had been slowly expanding outward, and it had not been extinguished by the Xiqiang rebels. At this time, under the sudden rise of the hurricane, the fire also burst out with the wind, and the fire point, which originally only stretched for four or five hundred meters, expanded in an instant, and was swept by the wind along the way in the direction pointed by Yang Rui!
"Ahh
"Help!"
ββ
Outside Ledu City, Yang Rui had arranged a lot of wood and other combustible things in advance, and at this time, the fire broke out, and almost all the places where the wind and fire passed turned into a sea of fire, and the casualties of the Xiqiang rebel soldiers who were affected suddenly increased, and many soldiers directly turned into fire people, scurrying around like headless flies
"System Prompt: Congratulations on obtaining 1 copy of the mission to exterminate the Xiqiang rebels."
Yang Rui's degree of obtaining mission verification is also improving, and with a large number of Xiqiang rebel soldiers killed in the sea of fire, the system prompts that it is almost impossible to distinguish the order of Cheng dΓΉ again! The last time this situation occurred was when the Battle of Yingchuan burned the Bocai army!
As soon as the "Wind Talisman" was successful, Yang Rui did not get carried away because of this, but has been patiently leading the wind and fire to various locations outside the eastern city of Ledu City, trying his best to cover every corner.
Since the fire is likely to affect the safety of the East City Gate and the city wall, Yang Rui gave priority to leading the fire from the southeast to the bank of the auxiliary river, and operated the hurricane to drive the fire to cover the entire bank of the auxiliary river before changing the direction and turning back towards the east gate of Ledu City.
As expected, due to the accumulation of a large number of soldiers' corpses, all kinds of raw materials, ordinary clothes and other items near the city gate and city wall, the momentum of the fire became stronger after it approached, and there was a tendency to engulf the city gate and the city wall together, although Yang Rui operated the hurricane in time to rush to the rear of the rebels on the other side of the Fu River, but if the nearby fire was not controlled, it would still affect Yang Rui and other soldiers!
At this time, Li Dong, who had already been prepared on the side, immediately moved the "flood talisman" handed over by Yang Rui in advance! According to the direction of Li Dong's finger, a wide flood belt suddenly appeared from more than 100 meters outside the east city wall, and rushed from the south of the city to the north of the city, successfully blocking the spreading fire!
Until this time, outside the eastern city wall of Ledu City, only the first-line rebel siege soldiers close to the city wall were still struggling, where could they still find a standing Xiqiang soldier in the rest of the Fuhe River?!
