Chapter 320: Siege 2

Yecheng is the capital of Yan State, after thousands of years, several generations of dynasties, very grandiose, the whole city has eight city gates, but six of them are introduced into the river water, forming a moat, only the main gate and the east gate do not have a moat, need to be heavily guarded.

This time the coalition army attacked the city, because of the speed of the march, so it was all infantry and cavalry, and there were no means to cross the river, so they could only choose the east gate and the main gate to attack.

The 30,000 men of the Southern Army were responsible for attacking the main gate, and the eastern and western armies attacked the east gate under the leadership of Lexa.

Because of the limited number of troops, Qiu Yan only gave Bai Gonggong about 500 troops to guard the east gate, and when the 500 soldiers and Bai Gonggong saw the black pressure of the east-west coalition army under the city tower, they were already frightened and weak.

Lexa is not as patient as Mu Qingyun, after coming to the east gate, he directly ordered the siege of the city, as long as he attacked Yecheng one step earlier and captured the king of Yan, he could control the Yan country.

The most important thing is that Lexa must attack the city before Mu Qingyun, otherwise everything is to make a wedding dress for others.

The 20,000 troops of the Eastern and Western Alliance Army all joined the siege, and the 20,000 people stood in a column and began to attack under the city wall, the method was similar to Mu Qingyun, which was to set up a shield in front to protect the siege equipment behind.

Bai Gonggong's troops are too few, and he doesn't have the same skills as Qiu Yan, so he can freeze the main gate, and he can only rely on the 500 hundred troops in his hands to fight hard with the coalition army.

Anyone who could be brought out, whether it was a eunuch or a maid, or an old mother, was arrested by Bai Gonggong to resist the coalition army.

Before Bei Shenlei left, he used his "equivalent exchange" ability to exchange a large amount of military equipment with gold, so Yecheng was not short of armaments, only people.

500 against 20,000, no matter how to defend it, Bai Gonggong couldn't stop the footsteps of the coalition army, bows and arrows, boiling oil, and even kitchen knives were thrown off the city tower by Bai Gonggong.

However, the ladders of the eastern and western coalition forces were still carried up to the city tower one by one, and 500 people could not guard the east gate at all, and there were always gaps exposed, and the coalition forces seized the opportunity to climb the city tower.

"Kill!"

The coalition soldiers who climbed the tower were killed on sight, and the 500 defenders were soon exhausted.

"Ahh Bai Gonggong's right arm was missed by an arrow, and he grinned in pain, but he still endured the pain, picked up the long knife and fought back, even if he died, he had to defend Yecheng.

Bai Gonggong's fearlessness to death soon infected the others, and they all desperately resisted the attack of the coalition army.

Unfortunately, the defenders were so small that no matter how brave they were, they could not resist the attack of the coalition forces.

"Father-in-law Bai, don't come!" A voice suddenly came from a distance, and Bai Gonggong saw Li Keyong, the civilian general who had stayed in Yecheng before Beiming Lei, leading a thousand reinforcements to arrive.

Li Keyong was the first member of the Lei family army recruited by the Northern Underworld, and he performed well in military training and was promoted to the rank of captain.

A thousand soldiers accelerated to the city tower to help Bai Gonggong defend the city, and with the addition of this new force, Bai Gonggong suddenly felt lighter.

Unfortunately, at this moment, a loud bang came.

"Boom!"

The East Gate Gate was finally broken by the siege engines of the coalition forces, revealing a large hole large enough for five people to pass.

Father-in-law Bai's face immediately turned snow-white.

"Yan Guo is finished!" Bai Gong almost fell down in decadence and gave up resistance.

Fortunately, at this moment, a sword roared out.

"Groaning ......"

Dozens of sword qi flew out from the east gate, killing the soldiers who wanted to enter the city through the entrance of the cave, and a lonely and independent swordsman slowly walked out of the hole, stood outside the entrance of the cave, and burst into a shout.

"Death to those who enter the city!"

Dugu Jian held a half-cut peerless sword, standing at the gate of the city, his sword aura was like a hedgehog, but anyone who approached was assassinated by him.

Since being interrupted by King Yan "Wushuang Sword", the sword qi on Dugu Jian's body has become stronger day by day, and his cultivation has risen instead of falling, and he has gradually comprehended the true meaning of swordsmanship.

After Lexa found that there was only one person in Dugu Sword, he waved his hand and commanded the archery team to shoot arrows at Dugu Sword.

Choking, choking, choking

The sound of the bowstring pulling slowly formed a movement, and in the rain of arrows in the sky, Dugu Jian did not retreat but advanced, and the sword moved forward, and a broken sword all the arrows were lost, and went straight towards Lexa.

Capture the thief first capture the king, shoot the man first shoot the horse, Dugu Jian knows that with his own cultivation, it is impossible to slaughter 20,000 people, only by killing the main general Lexa, the defenders can hope to win.

Although there are 1,000 reinforcements on the city tower, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

Dugu Sword is like an awl, plunging into the coalition army, one person and one sword are unguarded, and the armor on the soldier's body can't resist the "Wushuang Sword" that is only half a section.

No one could take the sword of Dugu Sword, he rushed towards Lexa at a very fast speed, and the sword aura that rushed to the sky let Lexa know that he was by no means the opponent of Dugu Sword.

"Give it all to me, stop him!"

All the masters of the Lexa generals were sent to block Dugu Sword, but he took two thousand soldiers to bypass Dugu Sword and head towards the broken city gate.

"Sword Twenty-two!"

Twenty-two sword qi surged around, Dugu Jian saw that Lexa wanted to storm the east gate, so he could only take out all his strength, a "sword twenty-two", the unparalleled sword qi was vertical and horizontal, killing nearly a hundred soldiers around.

The blood carried the sword aura, drawing twenty-two deep ravines on the earth, but after the death of a group of coalition troops, there were more coalition troops to fill the position, and these people used their lives to delay Dugu Jian's action, making it impossible to rescue Yecheng.

"Damn!" Dugu Sword burst into shouts, and the "Sword Twenty-two" was used one after another, killing a hundred people with one move, killing a thousand people with ten swords, and the sword qi flew on the battlefield, and the corpses were horizontal.

Dugu Jian kept swinging his sword, kept swinging his sword, every time he swung his sword, he could take away a lot of life, he didn't know how many swords he had, he only knew that around him, the inner three layers, and the outer three layers were all full of corpses.

After all, people have limits, when Dugu Sword killed nearly 4,000 people, he was finally tired, and blood had already covered his body.

"Ahh

A soldier's spear grazed Dugu Jian's shoulder, and a small wound appeared on Dugu Jian's body, giving everyone hope that he was not invincible.

The East-West Alliance army spent nearly 4,000 lives, and finally dragged Dugu Jian to exhaustion.

"Die!"

Dugu Sword broke the sword and pointed at the sky, with a long roar, all the space around his body was blocked by sword qi, and all the soldiers within ten zhang were there, except for the eyes that could move, their bodies were stiff, and they couldn't move even a finger.

In the world of pause, only Dugu Jian could move slowly, he raised his leg and jumped, easily stepped on the shoulder of a soldier, and at a slow speed, he shot a sword towards Lexa.

"Sword Twenty-Three!"

A terrifying sword light emerged from Dugu Jian's body, but anyone who was swept by the sword light was bleeding from all seven orifices, but his body still maintained a stiff movement.

When the sword light came to Lexa's eyes, he closed his eyes in despair.

"Poof!"

A blood mark suddenly appeared on Lexa's forehead, and before the "Sword Twenty-Three" of Dugu Sword's move to destroy the heavens and the earth, Lexa couldn't even dodge, and he was killed by the sword qi.
