Chapter 513: The Bloody Battle of Xiongguan
"General, the pass is broken~!" The guard said with a nervous face, Cheng Shijie was startled at first, then calmed down, and asked coldly: "Who said that?" The guard was stunned by the gaze in Cheng Shijie's eyes, his voice trembled, and slowly returned: "There are voices from the Northeast Army everywhere outside, and they have already come in!"
"Hit a fart, hum~!Prepare a horse for me, gather the soldiers in the house~!" Cheng Shijie turned around and went back to the house after speaking, and the guards hurriedly ran to prepare the horses and the convener.
After a while, the neatly dressed Cheng Shijie came to the front yard, and the five hundred sergeants were reassembled, everyone's faces were filled with panic and panic, and with a "choking" sound, Cheng Shijie pulled out a long knife and said: "The spies outside the door are making trouble, and the army will follow me to kill the spies~!"
Cheng Shijie gave the panic outside in one sentence, and the fear on the faces of the soldiers suddenly dispersed a lot, compared to the Xiongguan being broken, the conspiracy was obviously more acceptable, the door opened with a "bang", and five hundred sergeants rushed out behind Cheng Shijie.
There was just a group of black-clothed people rushing towards the garrison, and the blades on both sides showed their blades, Cheng Shijie's face was ruthless, and the yellow strong fighting spirit flashed, "Whew···········" There was a cold wind in the flat ground, and then everyone saw a scene that they could never forget in this life.
A green wind swept in, and the people in black only felt a strong wind in their faces, and then they felt a biting cold, and then, their consciousness disappeared completely.
Cheng Shijie and the five hundred sergeants behind him watched the green wind sweep into the ranks of the men in black, and then there was a magnificent splash of blood, green everywhere was a dazzling bright red, and the lit house and the sky-high fire illuminated this scene very clearly.
There were more than 200 people in the team of the men in black, but after the green wind swept through it, there were only rivers of blood on the ground, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and there were no more people standing. The green wind didn't stop at all, the wind direction changed, and they came over again towards Cheng Shijie.
The soldiers' faces were pale, their eyes were full of fear, and Cheng Shijie's personal guards shouted to protect the general, and dozens of people stood in front of Cheng Shijie without hesitation, forming a wall of flesh. The green wind "swished" and stopped a few steps in front of Cheng Shijie and them, the wind stopped, and people appeared.
The white scribe's robe, the long black and shiny hair, and the three long strands of long beard gently fluttering with the breeze, this is a dashing middle-aged man, with a literati aura all over his body, but when their eyes focus on the green thin sword in his hand, everyone can't help but shiver.
"Senior!" Cheng Shijie exclaimed, he didn't expect it to be the envoy, the middle-aged man glanced at Cheng Shijie, and said softly: "You can arrange the things here, and follow me to Xiongguan quickly." Cheng Shijie's heart sank, could it be that something really happened to Xiongguan?
Ma Li ordered the leader of his personal guard to lead the soldiers to clean up the spies in the city, Cheng Shijie quickly turned his horse to the middle-aged man's side, and a personal soldier pulled a horse to follow behind Cheng Shijie.
"Come down, I'll take you there, the horse is too slow. The middle-aged man glanced at Cheng Shijie, his hand was lightly pressed on his waist, and the green light instantly lit up, and the dazzling light made Cheng Shijie involuntarily close his eyes slightly.
A breath that was so powerful that it was suffocating came, and Cheng Shijie's fighting aura mask appeared as soon as he "brushed", as for those ordinary soldiers, they were already so frightened that their faces turned pale, and when they opened their eyes, Cheng Shijie saw a cyan war horse, perhaps, it shouldn't be called a horse.
The Green Smoke Beast, this is a ninth-level holy beast, with an eagle head and a horse body, ribs and wings, and some similarities in appearance to the Horned Eagle Beast, but its body is covered with cyan fish scales, and it is covered with a faint green light, which looks like a puff of light smoke.
"Come up~!" The middle-aged man was obviously very unhappy to let Cheng Shijie sit on his life beast, but the shouting and killing sound on the side of Xiongguan shook the sky, I am afraid that I can't wait, Cheng Shijie looked at the predecessor who made him afraid, the appearance of the green smoke beast, let Cheng Shijie confirm his identity, and it was this that made Cheng Shijie hesitate.
"Mother-in-law~!" The middle-aged man kept Cheng Shijie up, and the dignified ninth-level Dou Saint didn't even make the slightest resistance, Cheng Shijie only felt that his ears were full of wind, and the powerful wind force was about to suffocate him.
The soldiers who remained in the town stared at the sky in amazement, and a cyan war horse soared into the air, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xiongguan fell into a stalemate, Cheng Shijie not only left a large number of people on the pass, in order to prevent emergencies, but also placed 50,000 soldiers in the south of Xiongguan, the task of 50,000 people is mainly at night, therefore, they did not go to the battlefield during the day, the pass just messed up, this side quickly responded, and in a quarter of an hour, 50,000 people were all dispatched, galloping to help Xiongguan.
The distance of thirty miles is also a cup of tea for the brave Northeast Army, and the 20,000 light cavalry left 5,000 people to guard the gate, and the rest of the people have all killed the wall, with only one purpose, to destroy the general control button of the Xiongguan, then, this gate, even if God comes, can no longer be closed.
The wall was already a mess, although the number of 15,000 Northeast Army was more than double that of the Zhongzhou Army on the wall, but they were as fierce as a hungry wolf killed into the flock, most of the guards on the wall were archers, and the archers were skilled in bows and arrows, but the individual combat ability was a little weak.
In the middle of the city tower is the main hub of Xiongguan, as long as it is destroyed, these two 10,000-ton gates will fail, even if Cheng Shijie's follow-up Zhongzhou army arrives, there is nothing they can do.
After all, it is impossible for the 300,000 Zhongzhou troops to all stay on this Xiongguan, after the daytime defense task, the Zhongzhou soldiers of the brigade have withdrawn to their respective camps, in fact, there are only 40,000 or 50,000 guards on the Xiongguan.
The city tower is already in sight, that is, a distance of ten paces, and the defenders of Zhongzhou are also aware of the intention of the Northeast Army, and they have blocked in front of the city tower, vowing to resist this offensive to the death, if the city tower is lost, then everything can no longer be recovered.
The same soldiers, maybe the Zhongzhou Army is not as strong as the Northeast Army, but they are also bloody, they were beaten with their heads covered for a day, and after the bloody battle, they swept away their cowardice, and actually formed a flesh wall, blocking the fierce Northeast Forward on this narrow wall.
Leading the vanguard of the Northeast Army was a middle-aged general with narrow eyes, this man was holding a battle axe in his hand, slashing left and right fiercely, but, even so, he couldn't take a step forward, watching the time pass minute by minute, the anxious look between the middle-aged general's eyebrows was revealed.
The defenders of Zhongzhou gave up half of the wall to the Northeast Army, they just blocked the front of this tower with flesh and blood, flesh and blood flew sideways, screaming endlessly, but no one on either side flinched, a few days ago, they were still brothers, but because of their respective positions, they had to choose to fight here, no one still has pity in their eyes, and no one has fear in their eyes, they are soldiers, they are born for war.
Cheng Shijie only felt that his feet were steady, and the unbearable feeling of suffocation finally disappeared, and he stabilized his body and looked at it, Cheng Shijie was suddenly shocked and his eyes kicked straight, at this time he was standing on the top of the city tower, and there were two soldiers killing you and me below.
The middle-aged man glanced at the battlefield below, his eyebrows were full of disdain, the poor man would only use a bloody and reckless hand-to-hand fight, "What are you doing here?" The middle-aged man glanced at Cheng Shijie coldly, Cheng Shijie suddenly woke up, hurriedly thanked him, and stepped on a few big holes in the roof, and then fell to the ground safely.
The middle-aged man watched Cheng Shijie safely reach the middle of his army, and looked outside the gate, where it was pitch black, but the middle-aged man clearly felt that he was murderous.
As soon as Cheng Shijie stood firm, he pulled a soldier next to him and said, "What about your commander?" The soldier turned his head to see that it was Cheng Shijie, and immediately cried with joy, and said with tears: "General Liu was killed by the loss, general, you are finally here." ”
Cheng Shijie's anger suddenly disappeared a lot, no wonder this wall is so messy, it turns out that the main general is dead, "Go find a few deputy generals for me~!" Cheng Shijie is not a god, tens of thousands of people are crowded here, even if he is the supreme commander of the Zhongzhou Army, he can't straighten out this chaotic scene with his own life.
After a few minutes, several lieutenants squeezed in front of Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie looked at a few people with a lot of colors on his body, he couldn't say anything about what he wanted to reprimand, and quickly issued a few orders to go out, and Cheng Shijie took a group of people to the city tower in a hurry.
The main hub that controls Xiongguan is locked in a tall iron box, and the opening and closing of the door can be operated through here, however, there is a special feature of the closing door setting of Xiongguan, that is, the door should be closed, only the general hub has this function, and the door should be opened, but not only by the general hub, and there is a manual switch at the closing door below that can also open the closing door.
This was originally for convenience, but at this time, Cheng Shijie really wanted to cut the person who designed the closing hub, and what did you do to manually open the settings below. There are a total of thirteen locks on the iron box, and the keys are all on Cheng Shijie's body, when Cheng Shijie was sweating profusely to open the last lock, the war song of the Northeast Army sounded loudly.
The impassioned trumpet almost made the key in Cheng Shijie's hand fall, and Cheng Shijie's purple-red face instantly turned black, "General, general, no, no, the Northeast Army Brigade has been killed~!"
