Text Chapter 213 Concubine Xian
By the time the news of Chu Jing's complete departure from Shangyu City and his march towards Fuchun City reached the military camp outside Lushui City, it was already a day later.
The city lord of Fuchun City was furious and reprimanded, "Why did you only come to report now?"
The scout was also very helpless, he didn't expect that Chu Jing was really willing to give up Shangyu City, and the city walls were half repaired, how could he just leave.
So he sent people to disguise himself as ordinary people and sneak into the wide-open gate of Shangyu City to inquire about the news, and at the same time followed behind Chu Jing to see if he was going to walk or train his troops, and found that his destination turned out to be Fuchun City.
By the time he got on the fast horse and felt outside the Green Water City, it was already a day later.
The city lord of Fuchun City drove the scouts out, and the second prince was also extremely panicked at this time, "Uncle, what should we do now, my mother is still ...... Fuchun City"
"Don't panic!" the city lord of Fuchun City frowned, "Fuchun City is defended by 50,000 soldiers, and the other party will not easily break through." ”
"No, but Shangyu City is broken, even the city walls are broken, you don't know that they have powerful city-breaking weapons, I'm worried about my mother's ......"
The city lord of Fuchun City was also a little flustered, if there was a situation like Shangyu City in Fuchun City, then only 50,000 soldiers would be able to protect the safety of the family members in the city lord's mansion?
The city lord of Fuchun City made a decision, and he said: "I will take 10,000 cavalry to Fuchun City first, and you and the rest of the troops must send more scouts to march, so as not to fall for the other party's plan, and also, when you arrive in Fuchun City, don't act easily without my orders." ”
Because it is to attack the city, even if there are 250,000 soldiers, but the cavalry is only 10,000, Fuchun City may not be able to hold for long, the city lord of Fuchun City decided to rush back with the cavalry, if you can reach Fuchun City before Chu Jing is the best, even if you can't, you must have a response outside.
Relying on the speed advantage of the cavalry, you can attack and retreat and defend, so as not to fall into passivity.
The rest depends on how long it will take for the second prince to bring the large army back to Fuchun City.
As for saying that the other party will use Green Water City to send more troops into the northwest, if the other party has more troops, Green Water City is already there anyway, and it won't be of much use to stop it.
After all, Chu Jing set off in front, and the distance from Fuchun City was not too far, plus he traveled lightly, and even brought dry food for three days.
Two days later, Chu Jing came to the outside of Fuchun City, if Tiannan Mansion is the largest city in the south of Xinguo, then Fuchun City is the largest city in the northwest of Xinguo.
This is one of the emperor's favorite imperial concubines, the maiden family of Concubine Xian, not only has great power, but also has great influence, otherwise there would not be a matter of the second prince monopolizing the northwest.
At this time, the most powerful person in Fuchun City was Concubine Xian, and after hearing the report, she sneered, and was extremely disdainful of Chu Jing's decision to attack Fuchun City.
She personally put on the city tower, and there is no tradition that women can't show their faces when they leave the Divine Continent.
It is said that although she is an old woman who is close to fifty years old, Concubine Xian is still beautiful, and the years have not left too many traces on her face, and even makes her feel more mature and stable.
The defenders of Fuchun City couldn't help but boost their morale when they saw Concubine Xian ascend the tower in person, although Emperor Xinguo died in battle, he couldn't change Concubine Xian's status, she was still one of the most powerful women.
"Which adult is in the city, how did you think of coming to Fuchun City to bully me as a woman?"
Concubine Xian asked loudly on the city tower, her strength didn't seem to be weak.
Chu Jingyi frowned, and said loudly: "The war has nothing to do with women, but you shouldn't bewitch the second prince to rebel, I can not kill you, but if you are sensible, it is best to surrender obediently, don't wait for me to enter." ”
Concubine Xian glanced at Chu Jing coldly, and waved her hand to signal the soldiers to draw their bows and arrows to show that they would live and die with Fuchun City.
Chu Jing ignored her either, but took out the parts of the bed crossbow from the mustard seed bag and assembled it into a giant ballista.
"Tanya, Lanji, it's up to you now. ”
Tanya begins to place blasting bombs on her crossbow arrows, while Lanji guards Tanya.
The rate of fire of the crossbow is much faster than that of the catapult, and the distance is not short, so it can be done in and out of range of the bow and arrow.
Concubine Xian's eyes on the city wall stared, thinking of the information from the city lord of Fuchun City, the scouts in the northwest are running around every day these days, and the city lord of Fuchun City is worried that some city lords will drag their feet, so they will order it over and over again, and now it is working.
Concubine Xian muttered, "Is this the so-called secret weapon that can blow up the city wall? The elder brother said that as long as you stop it halfway, you can keep Fuchun City safe." ”
"Archer, aim at the crossbow that is about to be fired, the catapult, the bed crossbow, and turn around and aim at the crossbow and the woman. ”
Concubine Xian decisively ordered,
As if they had rehearsed countless times, the defenders of the city aimed their weapons at Tanya, who was planting a blasting bomb on her crossbow arrows.
At this moment, Lan Ji stood forward, and his huge body immediately blocked the ballista and Tanya behind him.
There really is no such weirdo in the world!
Lanji was dressed in armor, but no one noticed his appearance under the mask.
In fact, he himself is not much different from those extremely pale corpse guards who often deal with corpses, and his body is not normal anyway.
The stones thrown by the catapult and the giant bolts fired from the bed crossbow were both fended off by Lanji's massive body.
Unless there are particularly strong warriors, nothing can break through Lanji's defenses.
The blasting bomb was quickly placed, and the moment it was placed, Tanya immediately shot the crossbow arrow.
"Quick, shoot that arrow!"
Seeing the crossbow arrows coming, and there was something emitting red light tied to them, the calm concubine also became frightened and shouted loudly.
The soldiers had been waiting for a long time, and at this time they were even more eager to shoot the arrows at the giant crossbow, and it was said that if the arrow touched the city wall, they would all die, and they did not dare to let the arrow in their hands miss for their own lives.
The flying bolts were fast, but there were too many arrows, and they were really hit by one arrow, but they only deflected the crossbow and exploded near the walls.
"Boom!"
The sound of the explosion was like a thunderstorm in the nine heavens, and the wall collapsed, and the flying stones continued.
The soldiers on the city tower were unsteady, and only the roar was left in their ears, and they all showed frightened expressions.
The walls of Fuchun City are thicker than those of Shangyu City, and after the crossbow arrows missed, they exploded before they could get completely close to the city walls, but only blew up a lot of cracks, and some walls, and the city walls were still standing.
But this is the effect that also shocked the soldiers defending the city, if every arrow of the other party is so powerful, then the task of defending the city is too difficult, and Fuchun City will definitely not be able to defend it.
On the other hand, the soldiers on Chu Jing's side were full of momentum, with such a siege weapon, what about the strong city wall, it was not a minute to break through.
Moreover, there are only 50,000 soldiers defending Fuchun City, but there are 110,000 troops and 3,000 demon beasts outside the city, which seems to be a definite situation.
Tanya proceeded to plant bombs on the crossbow bolts for a second shot.
Concubine Xian was completely panicked, and hurriedly ordered catapults and other distant aims, but with the presence of Fan Bing Lanji in the Dark Realm, it was almost impossible to break through his tall 2100 garrison.
Concubine Xian couldn't help but change her strategy, and said to Chu Jingli: "Which prince's subordinate you are, no matter what kind of promise the prince behind you gives you, I will give you three times on behalf of the second prince, no, I will let the second prince share the country of faith with you, you think about it." ”
What Chu Jing wants is not one person below ten thousand people, what he wants is the emperor at the highest place, and he is not a believer in the country, but a country of apocalypse.
The bigger problem is that Chu Jing has to be upgraded, and having Zirui around him puts pressure on him, giving him a new desire for strength.
The First Martial League and the First Martial League are also a threat, and there are not only good people in the First Martial Alliance, or there are more bad people, so I can't say that one day the Kingdom of Heaven and the First Martial League will come to trouble him.
What's more, Chu Jing is not alone now, not only has a large group of younger brothers, but also beauties accompany him, Chu Jing still wants to give them safety.
As for the greater ideals, what is the establishment of a Datong society.
What is the end of the old, the strong is useful, the young are grown, the widows, the lonely, the sick are all raised, etc., Chu Jing thinks it may be good, but is it really good to bring it to this world?
Why are there adventurers? Because the state is too lazy to care about the life and death of the people, the people have to raise their own money and ask adventurers to help kill the monsters that are causing trouble.
If the country is too good, just like Xinguo, not only stationing post soldiers on the official road, but also driving the demon beasts out of the safe zone, and even sending a large army to the demon beast domain several times, with the intention of completely destroying the demon beasts, then there will be no hotbed for adventurers to grow.
There will be no story of heroes saving beauty, love has begun to be directly linked to status and money, Cinderella wants to marry a prince who owns a castle, whether he is handsome or ugly, whether he is healthy or disabled, first of all, he is a prince.
Chu Jing felt that such a world was not what he hoped for, as for what he hoped for, it was probably that he was the protagonist, and the bad guy was just a person who wanted to do bad things, but never put them into action.
Anyway, no matter what, Chu Jing still decided to do the task first and improve his strength, and when his strength was strong, this world was not still ravaged by him at will.
The second giant crossbow was launched, and this time the soldiers on the city wall were more nervous and more focused, and a total of five feathered arrows were fired at the giant crossbow, directly knocking the giant crossbow out of the air, and there was an explosion in the center of the battlefield on both sides.
This time the blasting bomb didn't get close to the city wall, so it wasn't very powerful, and with Lanji's protection, Tanya didn't even touch the splashed dirt.
She has already begun to plant a third blasting bomb.
Chu Jing also knew that there was too much interference on the city wall, so he immediately ordered the archers to start pressing towards the city and releasing arrows on the city wall.
Shooting arrows from the bottom to the top, the range will inevitably be affected, but fortunately, Tanya has the attention of the soldiers upstairs, but she doesn't pay so much attention to the archers below.
For a while, the arrows under the city flew to the city wall, but they were very good to return fire, and they were all waiting to shoot the third crossbow arrow.
The screams gradually increased, and the soldiers who were shot on the city wall gradually increased, and Chu Jing even felt that there were enough siege equipment in this matter, and it seemed that it would be easy to capture the city.
Concubine Xian didn't know what to do, she was more afraid of the mysterious weapon that could destroy the city wall than those ordinary arrows, even she held a hard bow in her hand, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and waited patiently for the third crossbow arrow to be fired.
Chu Jing noticed that in the few minutes of waiting, there were thousands of defenders on the city wall who were shot, and their attention was all on the crossbow arrows, their bodies leaning out, and they waited with their necks crossed. Few people fought back at the archers below.
It seems that the pressure on the defenders in Fuchun City is not small, Chu Jing has already seen the dawn of victory, and it may be easier than imagined.
When the defenders die a little longer, the resistance to the assault will be small.
"Whoosh...... Boom!"
The third bolt was still in vain, and was lucky enough to be hit by a bed crossbow in the middle of the way, which exploded in the air.
Tanya's exploding bomb is not a comic book where the bomb stops counting seconds when you shoot it, and there is no such stupid bomb made in reality...... Presumably the atomic bomb can ......
Concubine Xian and the soldiers on the city wall wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads again, and when they saw Tanya install the fourth blasting bomb, they were about to scold their mother.
For example, with such a huge power, one or two are acceptable, and three is already a lot, if it can be infinitely manufactured, then what is the point of the city wall, and how to fight this battle.
After the fourth and fifth, finally, the sixth blasting bomb finally hit the city wall accurately, and suddenly there was another deafening explosion, which directly blew up the morale of Fuchun City.
However, the walls were not completely broken.
"Concubine Xian, Fuchun City can no longer be collected, not to mention that the city wall has become like this, you see that our defenders have been shot with bows and arrows below 10,000 people, we must evacuate quickly. ”
The deputy city lord came over to persuade him, and it was only then that Concubine Xian noticed that there were many fewer defenders on the city wall, and many people were lying on the ground with arrow feathers stuck in their bodies.
Concubine Xian also felt desperate, the other party's kind of things that could blow up the city wall seemed endless, she didn't know how long she could hold on, but the remaining soldiers couldn't hold on.
Concubine Xian asked weakly, "What about my parents and other relatives?"
The deputy city lord replied: "I have sent soldiers to take them to the west city gate, there are no enemy troops there, I am going to arrange for them to go to Liding City to avoid them first, and wait for the city lord to come back to get an idea." ”
"Okay, then you guys go first, I'll break it off, if we all retreat, no one can leave. ”
Concubine Xian noticed that there were a lot of cavalry in Chu Jing's team, and if she left the city tower, I was afraid that the defenders would lose their morale and would immediately break through the city wall and attack in.
There are cavalry in pursuit, and with the speed of their own and others, they will never be able to escape.
"But ......"
The deputy city lord also wanted to persuade.
Concubine Xian said very calmly: "I am the woman of the first emperor, even if the other party is a member of the Seventh Prince, it is impossible for him to dare to touch me, you don't have to worry about me." ”
"But the second prince ......"
"I'm just going to retreat after you, and when you're gone, I'll start withdrawing. ”
The deputy city lord was very helpless, so he had to send someone to escort the other family members out of the west gate and flee to Liding City.
The seventh bolt was hit by the bomb and detonated, and the soldiers no longer felt happy that the bomb did not hit the city wall, but felt tired.
After focusing for so long, the pressure was so great that the soldiers of Fuchun City felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Tanya didn't feel tired at all, because she was just installing the blasting bomb, as if it was instinct, and the blasting bomb was sent through the unknown teleportation technology of the future, and there was no limit to the number of bombs.
The soldiers under the city walls were not in a hurry, and the soldiers above were like live targets, just practicing their bow and arrow skills.
When the eighth crossbow bolt was not stopped and exploded on the city wall again, the city wall that had been blown up three times finally collapsed, and Chu Jing's soldiers erupted into a huge cheer, as if they had been victorious.
In fact, they really won, many of the soldiers in Fuchun City died from bows and arrows, and now that part of the city wall has collapsed, the soldiers who have long been demoralized can no longer bear the pressure and begin to become restless.
Seeing this situation, Concubine Xian couldn't care about leading the soldiers to fight anymore, so she immediately got down from the city tower and fled to the west on a fast horse.
Seeing such a scene, the soldiers defending the city did not have the decadence they had before, and they decided to fight for the concubine who had fought side by side for a while, at least to give her time to escape.
Chu Jing had also been watching Concubine Xian below, and it was precisely because she was still here that Chu Jing didn't care if the other family members had escaped from Fuchun City.
"Meng Shu, that woman escaped, can you catch up?"
Meng Huo patted his chest and promised: "The lord can rest assured that Meng Huo will be handed over to me, no one can escape in front of my bone armored horse." ”
Bone armored horses are light cavalry, and they have exoskeletons as a means of defense, so there is no need for armor, and it is a demon beast, and its speed is much faster than that of ordinary horses.
