Chu Xuanting was moving towards Nanyang with a large part of his troops, and this large part of the army had a full 70,000 army.
The remaining part is for fans, and the main force of Nanyang City has been transferred to the east gate, and the sound is eastward and westward.
Their troops were stationed on a hillside three miles away from Nanyang City.
Looking down from their position, they could just see the whole picture of Nanyang City.
In front of the gate of Nanyang City, there were dense soldiers lined up in black, and the number was comparable to them.
Chu Xuanting followed Ye Shuyun by his side, and he also put on a suit of armor, and the heavy armor wrapped around her slender body, which was a little out of tune.
The west wind was fierce, blowing a gust of yellow sand and hot earth. The drums of war beat and sounded the loyal blood of countless soldiers.
Chu Xuanting asked Ye Shuyun next to him, "Are you afraid?" ”
Ye Shuyun lifted the heavy hat on his head, "What are you afraid of?" Get used to it. ”
Ye Shuyun was also driven by the tense atmosphere now, "When will the war start?" ”
Chu Xuanting chuckled, facing this kind of moment, she was not nervous at all, but calm.
"No hurry, wait."
Chu Xuanting looked up at the gloomy sky, it wasn't time yet, wait a little longer......
After that, Ye Shuyun knew that both sides would give their own side a morale boost before they launched. This usually lasts for a day or two. However, Chu Xuanting didn't plan to give his soldiers so much time, they were attacked by the enemy on their backs, and there were corpses on their sides, so the time couldn't drag on for too long.
"The first attack won't last long, and you'll stay with me later, and you're not allowed to go anywhere."
"Oh......" Ye Shuyun replied absentmindedly, her eyes staring at the remaining black oppression, and her heart was unprecedentedly nervous.
A firework suddenly exploded in the sky in the distance, this was the news from Chu Jinshi.
Although Chu Jinshi escaped from Nanyang City, it was inconvenient to contact Chu Xuanting, but through Yin Zhou, Chu Xuanting knew about the Six Star Flower Order. The fireworks exploded in the sky to show that things were going according to their plan, and that it had worked.
Ji Rufei's injury, although it didn't have much impact on the whole situation, but in this way, Ji Rufei knew that he didn't have that many chances of winning, and the people who dealt with him were not only the 100,000 army led by Chu Xuanting now.
To deal with those people in the rivers and lakes, it is not just a simple fight between soldiers, the people of the rivers and lakes, although the number is limited, but there are not a few people with high martial arts, it is easy to mix into Nanyang City, and directly pick Ji Rufei inside.
But Chu Xuanting was not in a hurry to send troops, he was waiting for an opportunity.
When the first drop of rain hit his face, Chu Xuanting stretched out his hand, the first drop, and the next day, the bean-sized raindrops fell down with a bang.
It was a heavy rain.
Only then did Chu Xuanting raise the halberd in his hand, his calm and powerful voice was not much, and it carried enough internal force for all the soldiers to hear.
"All the soldiers obeyed the order and broke his city gate!"
At the sound of an order, he raised his weapon in his hand with enthusiasm, and rushed down the hillside with a roar.
The footsteps of the 70,000-strong army made the entire ground tremble slightly, and their voices shook the heavens and the earth, and the sound of thunder rolling in the sky was deafening. Seeing the same fireworks, not only Chu Xuanting was alone, Ji Rufei could also see it clearly.
"Lord Wang, that's ......"
Ji Rufei squinted his eyes slightly, watching the residual smoke of the fireworks disappear into the air, he knew that it represented a signal, and this signal was not reminding him, except for him, it was another person, Chu Xuanting. After receiving the signal, Chu Xuanting was not in a hurry to make a move, so what did the signal just now represent? There is no way to know.
There was not the slightest movement on the opposite mountain, and Chu Xuanting could be vaguely seen sitting on a horse wearing a dark blue battle robe.
If not a signal to attack, then what?
What is Chu Xuanting waiting for? Waiting outside the city gate, Meng Qi, who was preparing to meet the battle with his troops, couldn't wait for Ji Rufei's order, and looked up at the man in the city and countryside many times, only to see him with low eyebrows and introverted, and a rare hesitation in his expression. When the heavy rain crackled and smashed down, Chu Xuanting's army came straight towards the west gate like a surging wave.
You can feel the ground trembling slightly under your feet, and small pebbles that are visible to the naked eye are bouncing up and down on the ground. Meng Qi raised his head again and glanced at the city gate, and Ji Rufei nodded to him slightly.
"Archers prepare! Catapult ready! Shield Soldiers! Meng Qi methodically sent down one order after another, and the soldiers behind him quickly changed their formations, burning their flaming bows and arrows, on the strings, ready to go, and on the catapult, huge cobblestones were already aimed at the enemy in front of them.
Chu Xuanting did not participate in this war, because it was just a small temptation, and there was no need for him to play in person.
But the soldiers ran into their attack range, and the rain of burning arrows pressed down like a dark cloud, and the soldiers who rushed to the front quickly erected a shield wall above their heads, and the people behind the protectors continued to rush forward. A shield wall doesn't protect everyone, and some people still fall from being shot during the sprint. The people behind almost stepped on the corpse.
It is impossible to fight without casualties.
What you see is the truth.
After the rain of arrows, huge boulders fell from the sky, and it was not a shield wall that could stop it.
There is no good defense against a fortified weapon like a trebuchet, but there are warlocks in the army who will keep an eye out for the direction of the boulder and let the soldiers avoid that range as much as possible to minimize casualties. When the boulder hits it, the roar of the warlock can be heard in the team.
They dodged as quickly as they could, but there were still casualties.
Although trebuchets have a large number of casualties, they have a disadvantage, their attack speed is slow.
By the time the trebuchet launched its second attack, the two armies had already fought each other.
The dark blue army gradually merged with the black army.
The sound of killing is endless. At the end of the procession, the soldiers pushed more than a dozen iron steel carts, and under the cover of the people in front, they only pushed towards the gate of the West City Gate.
Arrows flying up don't do any damage.
Ji Rufei noticed the strangeness of the dozen or so iron cars at the end, and ordered to the side in a deep voice: "Stop those cars." ”
The iron cart was pushed by two men, and the man who pushed the cart died, and the man behind him followed closely to make up for it, and there were two spikes in the sky, and all those who came up to stop him were cut in half by the two spikes.
In addition, they had a training in advance, and the focus of their battle was to protect the few vehicles gathered at the city gate.
Although not all the carts pushed up were protected, there were at least ten carts pushed to the city gate.
When General Chiang saw that the time was ripe, he immediately shouted: "Withdraw the troops!!! ”
The team wearing blue armor quickly gathered in the middle, and Meng Qi just wanted to catch up, only to hear a rumble behind the city gate, and the three-foot-thick city gate was wiped out in this explosion, and the cracks extended to both sides along the place where the explosion had been opened.
Although Ji Rufei hid in time, he was still blown back two steps by the aftermath of the explosion, and the orphan pulled the internal injury in his chest, and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of black blood. Shang helped Ji Rufei in time and said worriedly: "Master, your injury is very serious, you need to rest." ”
Ji Rufei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pushed away Shang and walked to the city wall to look down, a big depression was blown out on the side of the city gate, and the huge train was still burning.
The gates were broken.
A battle came and went quickly, and the battle was wiped out in an explosion.
Ji Rufei's injuries were indeed very serious, and after the battle was over, he was not in a hurry to go back to rest, and summoned the generals to come to the front.
"The two generals of the East Gate and the South Gate pay attention to his remaining 30,000 troops."
The two soldiers were ordered.
After arranging them one by one, Meng Qi was left alone to speak.
"General Meng, did you expect such a result?"
Meng Qi shook his head straightly, "No, his method is still dangerous, I didn't expect him to dare to take a risk in such a situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back, and he really has the courage to fight quickly." ”
In front of Ji Rufei, Meng Qi bluntly praised Chu Xuanting.
Ji Rufei chuckled when he heard this, but it caused an intermittent cough, and his face turned a little pale.
Meng Qi said with concern: "Seeing that you are seriously injured, the little prince should go and rest, and the general will rest assured that you are on your side." ”
"It's okay" Ji Rufei waved his hand, and said in response to the question: "The city gate will be broken if it is broken, and it will be left to him anyway." ”
A soldier ran over and presented a bow and arrow made of black iron, "Lord, general, this was found in the ruins. ”
Meng Qi first received it in his hand and weighed it, and then handed it over to Ji Rufei.
The bow and arrow weigh about five kilograms, and in addition to accurate archery, a person who can use such a bow and arrow must have a mellow internal force, and such a bow and arrow is enough to pierce the iron sheet. It's Chu Xuanting.
Even Ji Rufei couldn't help but admire: "Good internal strength, good exercises." Meng Qi nodded undeniably, "With such a good body, the strategy of the art of war is not lost to you and me, and it is not uncommon for this battle to break through the city gate." ”
Ji Rufei took the five-kilogram bow and arrow in his hand, sank slightly, and threw it out, and the bow and arrow pierced into the city wall.
The consequences of strengthening his internal strength made Ji Rufei's chest churn. He suppressed the blood that was surging up, his face was pale but he smiled: "The second battle will not wait too long, although I have injuries on my body, it is more than enough to deal with him, and I will hand it over to General Meng to take care of during this period." ”
"The little county king's health is important, I will leave first."
Ji Rufei bowed slightly, turned to leave.
"My hand, do you have a cure?"
Tang Tang tried to clasp his hands, but he still couldn't use any strength.
A thick layer of gauze wrapped around his wrist was stained with red blood. She was unusually calm when she asked this.
The old doctor stood aside, observing Tang Tang's face, a little surprised.
Broken tendons mean that they will be disabled for the rest of their lives, and it is impossible for anyone to accept this reality so calmly.
And Tang Tang is unusually calm.
