Chapter 428: Siege

"It seems that this Buddha-faced Venerable is not very interested in it after all, and has been abandoned by adults."

Seeing the flags waving on the city wall, Bai Nanyuan finally stood up leisurely, his eyes fell on me, and he grinned: "Today is the last long talk between you and me, as you said, in troubled times, if you don't have the ability to settle down, you can only temporarily live on the eaves of others." ”

Speaking of this, Bai Nanyuan shook the long sword in his hand and sighed: "But how to say it, your luck is really bad, I thought that in addition to the person who took over Shuofang City, Jiuquan Mansion would send two more deputy directors at most, but I never expected that the above would take such a fancy to this place, and let the Lord of the Law and Criminal Division personally sit in charge, this is my lord, I can't help you, you can do it yourself, pray that you can save your life." ”

Bai Nanyuan said that he ran through Changhong, disappeared in front of him in an instant, and when he raised his head again, he found that he was already standing on top of the city tower, and in front of his side, there was also a person who could not see his appearance clearly, and his body seemed to be shrouded in black gas, melting into the night, like a person and a ghost, and it was impossible to find out his strength at all.

Seeing this person appear, I had a premonition that something was wrong, and when I was about to turn back to the army, I heard a "pop" sound, accompanied by a splash of water, and a white figure fell straight from the castle tower.

The general who defends the city?

After seeing the identity of the white shadow clearly, my heart moved, I bent down and grabbed his neck, jumped into the air, and landed firmly beside Wu Jiyun.

The general who defended the city had long since lost his breath, but his corpse had turned into a skeleton frame wrapped in only skin, with no flesh and blood at all, and it looked extremely terrifying.

Wu Jiyun was about to ask out loud when he saw this, but I stopped him and briefly stated everything that happened in the city now.

Wu Jiyun's brows furrowed after hearing this, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke: "The arrow is ready to be fired, before their deployment of troops is completed, attack the city!" ”

With Wu Jiyun's order, the left and right flag officers began to wave the big flags in their hands regularly, and the war drums behind them were beating, and the sound of killing in the sky dispersed the remaining dark clouds in the night sky, and the six black iron warships side by side made way for several gaps on both sides of the darkness, and the five warships loaded with siege equipment pushed up.

Advancing forward is the three military ships loaded with ladders and large shields, the huge shields like iron walls are clamped on the bow of the ship, covering the soldiers in the ship tightly, although it is a turtle speed, but every step forward, behind it are hundreds of small boats carrying siege soldiers, under the protection of the big ship, a little towards the gate of Shuofang City.

The vast river surface is covered with iron armor at this moment, the smell of gunpowder smoke wafts in the air, and the loud sound of drums trembles in the heart, watching the military ship advance more than a few feet above the black dragon warship, a large number of archers suddenly appeared at the battlement on the city tower, and at the same time as thousands of bows and crossbows were shot, Wu Jiyun raised his hand again, accompanied by the rain of arrows in the sky, and fell.

The arrows shot down from the city wall instantly obscured the view in front of them like a torrential downpour, and hit the ships in front of them like rain hitting plantains, and instantly turned into hedgehogs.

Although the big shield in the bow of the ship has been improved by Boss Shi, both the coverage and the bearing capacity have been improved a lot, but the enemy's offensive is urgent, and a wave of arrow rain has not yet fallen, followed by the next wave, and the cycle repeats, and the cycle repeats, not giving people any respite at all, those fish that have slipped through the net are constantly taking away the lives of soldiers one by one, just a few strafing, the rolling river water has been covered with corpses, and the bubbling bright red blood is also mixed with the river water, flowing under the feet.

I couldn't help but be frightened when I saw this, but at this moment, there was a sound of mechanical twisting behind me, and Mougins turned around, and the dozens of catapults standing on the military ships behind me had been filled, and the boulders suddenly rose into the air with strong traction, drawing a grim smile's smile in the night, and landed on the city wall with unmistakable accuracy, smashing the battlements where the crossbowmen could hide.

And in this short interval, five military ships have been attached to the base of the city wall, the helmsman roared hoarsely, the five military ships turned their bows in unison, and crossed the city wall, forming a wide water springboard, and the ladder was also born at this time, erected on the city wall, and the soldiers hiding behind the big shield also came out, and climbed up the ladder towards the city tower.

In siege warfare, volunteers would launch a surprise attack once the walls had been breached or the siege towers were in place, and this type of force was known for its "bleak anticipation" because they were ready for casualties.

However, those who manage to survive in this type of unit will be rewarded with the highest rewards in terms of promotions, titles, and loot.

The soldiers did not hesitate to resist the rolling stones and the corpses of their companions dropped from the castle tower on the ladder slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the board of the kung fu military ship was already full of stumps, I saw that I couldn't bear it, I lowered my head and looked at the corpse of the general and said, "It's almost over, I'm going to meet the coalition forces and the four protectors, right?" ”

Wu Jiyun nodded, "I received the news, because of our attack, the coalition army will be pulled out in advance, you can meet them on the way there, it is best to bring the commander of the coalition army here as soon as possible, I see that Jiuquan Mansion not only wants to defend the city, maybe it is not necessary to take advantage of the situation to enter the ancient road, if that is the case, we can bear the brunt of it and become cannon fodder." ”

But before I could speak, Wu Jiyun's gaze on the battlefield changed again, and said: "But if you can take Shuofang City in one fell swoop and keep Jiuquan Mansion out of the door, after this battle, from now on, Lord Bai's prestige will definitely be in the ancient road, and it will also have immeasurable benefits for future development." ”

I didn't have the heart to care about this at this moment, so I answered, and with the corpse in my hand, the soles of my feet were windy, and I jumped out behind me as fast as I could.

The boat stopped for several miles, and it took me more than an hour just to run, and when I reached the stern, I set up a small boat and rowed quickly in the direction from which it came.

The mouth of the Sancha River is not far from here, but before I have been away from the military formation for a long time, in my eyes, I saw that the sight in front of me was lit up by the lights, and I quickly stopped the boat, and found that although this place was still a few miles away from the mouth of the three rivers, it was all filled with black warships.

"Coming so fast?"

Pressing the doubts in his heart, someone on the boat in front of him had already shouted: "The person who came is from Wushan?" ”

I responded: "On the order of General Wu Jiyun, the vanguard general of the Wushan Expeditionary Northern Army, I will first come to meet with the four adults of the coalition army. ”

"Who are you, report your name?"

I sneered, "Bai family, Bai Xiaoyi." ”

The man at the bow of the boat was silent for a long time, but suddenly shouted: "My lord has commanded, each of you to sweep the snow in front of the door, and ...... before you finish fighting."

Before he could finish speaking, I threw out the black sword in my hand, and the black sword broke through the air, passed through the man's throat and drew an arc back into his hand, shook the blood on it and said, "Come on someone who can speak, otherwise the military plane will be delayed, don't say I'm not welcome." ”

"It's just a soldier, why should Lord Bai be angry."

A voice that was neither yin nor yang echoed in the air, and with the words, several warships blocking the front retreated to both sides of their own, revealing a three-story carved dragon tower ship in the right position.

The lights in the building ship are bright, the people are noisy, and from time to time you can still hear the sound of music playing and singing, just like a scene of singing and dancing.

Carry the corpse on the boat, is facing the door of the building open, as soon as the person enters, I hear the laughter and scolding of the women, I follow the sound to find and push open the dragon door at the end of the corridor, into the line of sight, is a group of fascination scene.

The jade body was horizontal, four bald men with open chests and arms hugged left and right, their faces were full of red light, and there were wine, meat and messy clothes spread everywhere on the ground, and they didn't avoid seeing outsiders coming in, until I threw the corpse in front of them, accompanied by the screams of several women, these four people sat up solemnly, and after sending the woman out, they stared at the corpse and said: "If I am not mistaken, this corpse should be the general of the Shuofang City garrison, Hu Mang?" ”

After this person finished speaking, the other three couldn't help but nod vigorously, and then looked at them in surprise and said, "You broke the city so quickly?" ”

I didn't speak, stared at the four of them for a long time, and said lightly, "Which of you is the commander?" ”
