Chapter 21: The Siege of the City
An angry woman is an erupting volcano, magma tumbling and fiery that can only be released to calm her emotions.
The more powerful the woman, the more devastating the consequences of the outburst, and the consequence of Zhongli Yuhua's anger was that corpses were strewn under the city and blood flowed everywhere.
Whether it was the ridicule of the guards in the city or Zhong Liyi, it was to stimulate Zhong Li Yuhua's outburst, because there was a tall phoenix city wall, and only the sect members of the Gate of Heaven would be under the corpse city.
At the moment when Zhongli Yuhua's arm was about to fall, an old voice suddenly sounded.
"High Priest, think twice!" An elderly priest beside Zhongli Yuhua, who was already full of silver hair, hurriedly stepped forward to stop her hand, which was about to fall.
Zhongli Yuhua turned his head lightly and smiled at the old priest, but his smile was full of bitterness, "Priest Lan, don't you know if others don't know?" We have no other way out but to fight to the death, and Duke will never allow us to go back like this! ”
"The high priest thinks twice, desperately but not to die, the city wall in front of me is I, Lan Hongde can't jump up, if it is a strong attack, it can only attack the city gate, everyone gathers under the city gate, whether the city gate is attacked or not, the weight of casualties is unimaginable! The people who are fighting with you this time are your henchmen in the church, and if you lose all these people, even if you finally set foot in Phoenix, your position in the church ......"
Zhongli Yuhua tightened her eyebrows, Lan Hongde's words were only half said, but how could she not understand it, although she was committed to Duke, what really kept her power was not her own active dedication, but the power in her own hands that made Duke jealous, once she exhausted these powers, she was really played by Duke.
"It's impossible to retreat no matter what, what is the best strategy for Priest Lan?"
"There are many trees around here, we can surround this city, and send people back to the city to ask for help while making siege equipment from local materials, even if there are no more communicators to send, it is still possible for Captain Megan to support two more teams of Heavenly Punishment Knights, and every time we have one more point of combat power, the consumption of attacking the city will be smaller."
Zhongli Yuhua let out a long breath, and his falling hand changed to a back wave, "Retreat three miles and set up camp." ”
Looking at the slowly retreating Heavenly Sect members, there was a tsunami-like cheer from the city tower.
Chi Hua smiled thoughtfully, suddenly turned his head and said to Zhong Liyi: "It seems that your aunt is really a character, you are indeed too tender compared to your aunt!" ”
Zhong Liyi raised his head and snorted softly, but did not answer Chi Hua's words.
"Qingqiu, arrange personnel to take turns to defend in three shifts, and we will also withdraw the rest." Chi Hua also turned around and walked down the city.
One sentence stunned Ma Qingqiu, "Senior brother, shouldn't we rush down and take advantage of the situation to cover up behind?" ”
"We're not on flat ground, and we don't have such a good geographical advantage, so a fool will go down to fight face-to-face with others? Rest assured, they won't be attacking the city again in two or three days! ”
Ma Qingqiu was skeptical of Chi Hua's words at first, and tried his best to personally lead people to patrol and guard the city wall, but after the people of the Heavenly Gate set up camp outside the city, they really didn't make any further moves, and they didn't even have any provocative behavior.
......
What should come will come after all.
In the early morning of the fifth day of the siege of Heaven's Gate, the alarm sounded again for the whole city.
Chi Hua looked at the sect members of the Heavenly Gate who had surrounded him again with a stern face, and the number of people in the ranks under the city did not seem to have increased except for a few more crash cars and countless ladders.
Zhongli Yuhua also looked at the city wall with a sinking face, the people who returned to the Chosen City for help came back, but they did not bring back a single soldier, Duke directly stopped Megan's decision to prepare to support Zhongli Yuhua's Heavenly Punishment Knight on the grounds that the battle with the Light Alliance was at a critical moment.
There was no dialogue between the two sides, Zhongli Yuhua, who was far away from Chi Hua's javelin range, waved his hand forward gently, and the evangelists and propagators of the Gate of Heaven launched an attack with all their members, and the war became the final decisive battle as soon as it came up.
The propagators of the Gate of Heaven had a ladder for every 20 people, and almost seventy or eighty ladders were set up at the same time within a three-mile width of the front of the gate. Every thirty or forty meters away was a ladder, and the guards of Phoenix City were scattered at once.
A javelin flew down from the air, and the javelins fired by thousands of guards at the same time covered the sky and the sun, shooting down towards the Heavenly Gate cultists under the city, and the dense javelins like rain made the charging sect members have no room to dodge at all, often dodging the oncoming shot on one side, but crashed into the muzzle of the gun next to them, and could only rush forward with the javelin.
After a round of javelins, nearly a hundred corpses fell from the gate of heaven under Phoenix, many of the corpses were even standing, the javelins passed directly through the body, and the javelins stuck on the ground supported the bodies that had long since died.
Death could not stop the Heaven's Gate sect's charge, they were the communicators under Zhongli Yuhua's men, the earliest believers of the Heaven's Gate, and the most brainwashed ones, dying because it was for them to ascend the ladder to the Heaven's Gate.
Death could not arouse the mercy of the Phoenix guards on the city walls, and the second and third rounds of javelins followed, and if they wanted to protect their homeland, they could only send more magic sticks to heaven.
After three rounds of javelins, the ladder of Heaven's Gate finally landed on the walls of Phoenix, but hundreds of corpses were left on the battlefield behind them.
As soon as the ladder was erected at the head of the city, the members of the Heavenly Gate climbed up the ladder, each step was several steps, and after three scurries, they would climb to the top of the city.
The Phoenix City guards, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally wouldn't let them climb up so easily, and the stones the size of human heads that had been prepared for a long time rained down on the communicators who climbed on the ladder.
More than a dozen pounds of stones with acceleration smashed on the head, and the head blossomed, and the bones and tendons were broken when they hit the body, and the propagator who climbed on the ladder crackled and fell down like dumplings.
The cultists at the Gate of Heaven under the walls raised their guns and shot at the wall, covering their companions to climb up, and a guard in Phoenix City had just lifted the stone when a bullet hit the chest, and the corpse holding the stone fell from the end of the wall.
The Phoenix guards finally suffered casualties, and the casualties continued as time went on.
After paying a heavy price of casualties, the cultists of Heaven's Gate finally climbed the walls of Doomsday Phoenix. The Heaven's Gate evangelist replaced his trademark red belt with a black belt to mingle with the siege propagators. With the help of the ladder, the preacher of the transformation system jumped up to a height of three or four meters, and only needed to step on the ladder three times to climb the city wall.
Once the preacher climbed the city wall, the guards on this section of the city wall were destroyed, and the preacher naturally tortured and killed the ordinary guards.
Doomsday Phoenix had already prepared for this, and once a preacher rushed to the wall, the guards defending the city would withdraw to both sides at the same time, trying to avoid a head-on battle with the preacher, making room for the preacher to escort the follow-up Heavenly Gate cultists to the city, and at the same time allowing time for the evolutionary team in Phoenix to come forward and kill.
Soon after the battle began, it entered the level of warfare between evolutionaries. Six of the seven evolutionary teams left behind in Phoenix City are already involved in guarding the city walls, and each evolutionary team is responsible for guarding the walls 500 meters wide.
In the face of Heaven's Gate's multi-point flowering attack, Phoenix's evolutionary team still did not disperse, and still maintained the five-person combat style, quickly besieging and killing the preacherents who climbed the city wall one by one, and then the guards took over the battle with the propagators again.
Although this way of fighting could not take care of all the points in the defensive range at the same time and made the escort pay a lot of sacrifices, every preacher who rushed to the city wall could not stand on the city wall, the preachers of the Heavenly Gate were besieged and killed one after another, and the evolutionaries of Phoenix City did not show a single battle damage.
The battle continues, one life after another is dying, there are the sects of Heaven's Gate, there are also the guards of Phoenix, and all people are equal in the face of death.
Zhongli Yuhua stared at the battlefield in front of her with an expressionless face, unmoved by the mass deaths of the Heavenly Gate Preachers and Propagators, and behind her stood only a silver-haired Lan priest, who had already suppressed all her strength, but had not yet seen the hope of victory.
Chi Hua on the city tower didn't move, he also looked at Zhong Li Yuhua with an expressionless face, he was waiting for this woman's last resort, behind him in addition to a complete evolutionary team, there were also Zhong Liyi, Ma Qingqiu, Yang Hongquan, Zhou Boyuan and more than a dozen evolutionaries who were not included in the evolutionary team.
The huge slamming sound of the door sounded, and the entire city tower felt the vibration below, and one by one, the knights of heavenly punishment in full armor tore off their robes, and the heavy crash car pushed the heavy crash car in groups of four and slammed into the tall and heavy city gate of Phoenix City.
The corners of Chi Hua's mouth curled slightly, it seemed that Zhongli Yuhua had pressed the last attack force at the city gate, and he had prepared a big enough surprise for them at the city gate.
It's time to press his last strength up, Chi Hua waved his hand gently, and Ma Qingqiu, Yang Hongquan and the others all rushed down to the city tower.
Chi Hua was left with only An An and Zhong Liyi left, and Chi Hua was still not at ease to let Zhong Liyi out of his sight at a critical moment.
On the battlefield where the killing sound is earth-shattering and flesh is flying, no one cares about the people who have died in battle, everyone's goal is to kill the enemy in front of them, only the corpse is not a threat.
Is that really the case?
Chi Hua suddenly shuddered, feeling that there was a yin wind blowing on the battlefield, not only Chi Hua, but everyone on the battlefield felt it, and there was a moment of stagnation on the entire battlefield.
In the next second, Li Yuhua's cold voice sounded throughout the battlefield, as if it was from hell, "Wake up, my children! Wake up, the gates of heaven have been opened! Wake up, follow my lead, and I'll take you home! ”
As Zhongli Yuhua's voice resounded throughout the battlefield, a corpse that had fallen back to its feet and began to move forward slowly......
