Chapter 117: Crossing the River

"In actual combat, although two-handed combat has a great advantage, it does not mean that one-handed combat cannot be used against the enemy. Wei Xiao stood up from the ground, with one arm behind him, one arm on his chest, and made a few combo movements, his feet moved quickly, and the people who watched were dazzled: "One-handed combo can use the changes in body and footwork to quickly control the enemy, this kind of attack has the characteristics of bursting, fast, and in one go, and it is well mastered, and it is more lethal than ordinary two-handed attacks." ”

"For example, this move breaks both arms with one hand, if the enemy steps up and strikes me with a right punch, I dodge left and take a left step, and my left hand goes forward and down to block the right forearm," Wei Xiao dismantled a movement and compared them one by one: "At this time, the enemy hit me in the face with a left fist, I raised my left arm to block my upper left side, and then took a left step and hit the enemy's ribs with my left elbow and shoulder, causing the enemy to fall out!"

Ah Yuan was lying on the ground, his eyes couldn't help but widen, he was engrossed in it, his blood was full of blood, this set of one-handed combos was untaught in any set of martial arts in the army, it was like a treasure book outside the sky!

Next, Wei Xiao taught him "Turning the Ring Hand", "Dialing the Word", "Turning the Word", "Breaking the Word", and let him practice the fight one by one, most of the night, Ah Yuan only felt energetic, and gained countless gains, but this set of one-handed combos in the "break, turn, dial, turn, collapse" five-character formula and gave birth to infinite and complex changes, with his qualifications, can absorb one-tenth, has been able to face the enemy a hundred times better than ordinary people!

This night's teaching made Ah Yuan's comprehension of the art of striking suddenly have undergone earth-shaking changes, which was better than his usual ten years of hard work!

"In addition to the bare hands, the enemy's spears, guns, knives, and shields are all derived from these five-character formulas," finally taught the most essential part of this set of one-handed combos, Wei Xiao stopped, and finally concluded: "The most important thing is to decide the distribution of my one-handed strength according to the strength perceived by the enemy, and the changes in yin and yang, and be flexible, remember?"

"Remember!" Ah Yuan replied loudly, kowtowed to Wei Xiao uprightly, and turned over: "The grace of a night of teaching, Ah Yuan is toothless and unforgettable, life and death on the battlefield are unpredictable, Ah Yuan only wants to be a cow and a horse in the next life, and repay Lord Wei!"

"There is no need to repay it," Wei Xiao's eyes flashed with a blazing light: "As long as you remember, on the battlefield of his day, unless the two armies face each other, one will not kill the old and young, the women and children, the second will not kill the people who surrender and beg for mercy, and the third will not kill the defenseless!"

"Yes! These three don't kill, Ah Yuan keep it in mind!" Ah Yuan respectfully retreated, lifted the tent, and when he walked out, his chest was already straight.

Two white lights flashed in the tent, and Bai Qianyu and Shamrock appeared together.

"Wei Xiao, how do you teach a demon soldier?" Clover muttered a little dissatisfied.

"His nature is not bad, but he is brave and ruthless," Wei Xiao said thoughtfully: "In fact, what is good and evil in the world? For example, in this dispute between the demon race and the phantom race, who can tell who is right? Who is evil?"

As he was talking, he saw that the lights outside were bright, like daylight, Wei Xiao walked to the door in a few steps, lifted the curtain, and saw tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xiao cavalry battalion gathered on the river beach, lined up with soldiers, a large area of black crows, everyone was holding torches in their hands, and the Chilian River was bright.

And on the Chilian River-

It is lined up with dense floating chariots made of floating wood, connected by iron chains, and eight of them are lined up horizontally, which can be connected to the river and extend to the opposite bank of the Chilian River, just like on the Chilian River, connecting a driftwood bridge!

On both sides of the shore, they are firmly locked by iron chains the thickness of the child's arm, so that the float cannot be moved.

There were also several demon soldiers, holding white jade boxes, stepping on the bridge formed by floating chacha, walking in front of the cavalry, while walking, they scattered several ice silkworms on both sides of the bridge, and the ice silkworms wriggled in the blood-like river waves, and suddenly the boiling river water was frozen to a calm, still like standing water.

Then, suddenly, I heard a slight "click" and "click" sound, and a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the Chilian River!

The temperature dropped lower and lower, and after a while, it made people feel as if they were in the depths of winter, and the snorts from the war horses had turned into a white mist.

"Crossing the river!" Chongyue looked ahead and waved his hand: "Take advantage of the night to take Weicheng!"

Suddenly, the war horses neighed, and a group of cavalry rushed forward first!

There was a bustle in the back, and the cavalry lined up to keep up!

Rows of torches lit over the Chilian River, forming a long fire dragon on the surface of the river, reflecting the red surface of the river.

A team of 10,000 people crossed the river on the floating chariot.

And by the Chilian River, the corpses of about more than 100 Yue Clan craftsmen were all killed, and the corpses floated on the Chilian River, and the blood flowing from the corpses and the water of the Chilian River were red and miserable.

This is Chongyue's fear that after the army left, the Moon Clan craftsmen became resentful, destroyed the floating chariot, and simply killed all the craftsmen.

"They didn't even let go of the Moon Clan craftsmen!" Wei Xiao sighed and secretly clenched his fists.

At this time, the adjutant general took a horse, walked to the side of the tent, and handed the bridle to Wei Xiao: "This is the horse that General Chongyue has allocated for Lord Wei, please set off with our army!"

Wei Xiao took the bridle, turned over and jumped on the horse, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Chongyue is going to force me to see with my own eyes how his cavalry battalion conquered Weicheng." ”

He lifted the reins of the horse, and followed the army on the pontoon bridge, behind him, Bai Qianyu and Shamrock had already hidden their bodies with stealth grass, Bai Qianyu wrapped his hands around Wei Xiao's sword, and sat firmly on the saddle, but listening to the horse's hooves, thousands of troops and horses were running on the pontoon, the bridge shook slightly, and it felt like it was drifting, and he could faintly hear the water flowing at the bottom of the Chilian River, and he passed by.

After a while, there was a sound of trampling ahead, and the horse's hooves stepped downward, as if stepping on solid ground.

Wei Xiao's voice came low in front: "Qianyu, the front is besieging the city, if you are afraid, don't open your eyes, I will protect you." ”

"I want to see it. Bai Qianyu hesitated for a moment and stood up from the saddle: "I have never seen what a siege looks like, and it has never been written in detail in history textbooks. ”

"Okay, I'll be with you. Wei Xiao jumped off the horse, stretched out his hands, and took Bai Qianyu off the horse.

Clover squatted on Bai Qianyu's shoulder, and as soon as he fell to the ground, he heard a loud noise, which shook the earth and trembled, and it couldn't help but exclaim.

At this time, the demon army has gathered under the outer city of Weicheng, 50,000 troops are surrounded, three huge stone bed crossbows have been erected in front of the city, on each stone bed crossbow, five big bows are placed, on each big bow, a huge iron crossbow is placed in the sky, with wood as the rod, with the iron spear head as the arrowhead, with the iron sheet feather as the tail wing, the tip of the crossbow is shiny, pointing directly at the city wall.

This arrow can be shot in turns, dozens of shots, the power is really amazing, the name is the jackdaw arrow.

Two rows of demon soldiers twisted the winch shaft behind the big bow, and the five iron crossbows on the bow fired together, and with the rolling of the winch shaft, five more side by side, "whoosh" roared and flew into the sky, crossed seven hundred steps away, nailed to the city wall, and several corners of the city wall were shot down, and the masonry rolled down.

The Phantom Clan soldiers at the head of the city kept throwing stones, pouring oil on the cotton wool and other objects to prevent the demon soldiers from approaching, and hundreds of archers from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion squatted in the distance, shooting at the head of the city, with arrows like flying locusts, forcing the soldiers defending the city to dare not take the head.

Standing behind the crossbow on the stone bed in the center, Chongyue shouted, "Change the stepping arrow!"

The soldiers in the two rows of the stone-bed crossbow immediately replaced the previous jackdaw arrows with trampling arrows.

This kind of trampling arrow is not as sharp as the jackdaw arrow, but the shaft of the arrow is stronger, and it falls on the city wall in rows, like rows of stairs, and immediately the infantry rushes out like a tide, and climbs up the city wall with the trampling arrows!

The Phantom soldiers defending the city panicked and continued to desperately throw stones, cotton wool and other objects down, although they knocked over a few demon soldiers who rushed in front of them, but they were suppressed by the ranged archers of the demon clan and retreated.

"Get on the ladder truck!"

"Go up the wooden ladder!"

Chongyue issued instructions one by one, in an orderly manner, and seemed confident.

The four ladder carts were quickly erected, and the demon soldiers began to step on the ladders one after another, and some had even climbed the wall, but they were hooked by the flying hook lowered by the phantom soldiers, and slapped the head of the city with wolf teeth full of iron nails.

And at the two corners of the city wall, wooden ladders were also erected, and the demon soldiers climbed up from there.

This trick wooden ladder siege is a strategy to attack the heart, the wooden ladder to climb the city is much more difficult than the ladder car, but it can be placed in the two corners of the city wall, but it can cause the enemy to be able to go to the city everywhere, and distract the attention of the defending soldiers, which is a great blow to the enemy's psychological defense.

Sure enough, there was a commotion among the phantom soldiers guarding the city, and they all shouted: "City corner, city corner! There are also demon soldiers attacking over there!"

In the confusion, I could only hear someone shouting: "What about General Wan Qian? What about General Wan Qi? Why haven't you come out to give orders? The city is about to be destroyed!"

Chongyue's purple eyes condensed two cold killing intents, and said a few words to the adjutant general beside him in a deep voice, and the adjutant general immediately shouted: "General Chongyue has spoken! There are those who break the city first, remember the first merit, and the reward exceeds that of the general to capture the flag, give 90 slaves and maids, more than 1,000 pieces of silk color, 300 high-grade spirit stones, 10 blood qi pills, bone refining pills, and marrow cultivation pills, 3 spirit purple pills, and 1 Jiuqi golden pill!"

This reward is really big, under the so-called heavy reward, there will be brave men, the soldiers of the demon clan listened to it, and they fought more and more bravely to attack the city, and everyone fought to be the first.

Not long after, someone on the ladder attacked the city wall, took the lead, killed the phantom soldiers defending the city with one sword, cut off the city protection flag, and threw down the city head.

The demon soldiers were even more demoralized, swarming down like a tide, and climbed up the ladder one after another, and the phantom soldiers saw this situation, so they had to draw their swords to face the battle, but which was the opponent of the army, outnumbered, and in a few rounds, they had already been killed by the demon soldiers.

The vanguard entered the city, slashed along the way, fought a bloody way, and opened the city gates from the inside.

The city gate opened, and tens of thousands of demon armies shouted and swarmed in.

The general of the outer city who called Wan Qian was one of the several generals who held a banquet in the mansion yesterday and summoned prostitutes to fold camellia and drink.

But he couldn't hear the left and right answers, he struggled and rubbed his eyes, and was about to get up, but he was scratched to the ground by the scratching hook stretched out from the door, he woke up suddenly, and reached out to take the tiger head knife he hung on the head of the bed, but was slashed by a group of demon soldiers pouring in outside the house, together with Mei Ji on his side, slashed under the knife and turned into a blur of flesh and blood.

The demon army conquered the outer city, as General Chongyue said, slaughtered the city for three days, the old and young women and children did not let go, and the blood flowed into the outer city of Weicheng, and the self-defense of the city in the city burned the mansion and the private houses, and burned ten thousand rooms, wiped out all things, and the lives were ruined, according to the records of later historical records: the outer city of Weicheng could not find a complete tree, and the blood on the stone could not be washed away even if it was washed with water.

In the winter of the 124th year of the expeditionary calendar, Yechen, the commander of the three armies of the empire, ordered General Yokono Chongyue to be the vanguard force, and the commander of the 50,000 cavalry battalion, and Chen Bing on the left bank of the Chilian River. The Great General of the Heavenly Expedition, Huang Ji, transferred the Heavenly Wing Department of the Eight Divisions of the Tianluo Legion to transport thousands of ice silkworms and floating wood to help the vanguard army cross the river. Weicheng County Shou Fei Xuan defended the Chi Lianjiang River with great dangers, and did not think it was dangerous, and the handsome generals drank in the mansion. That night, Chongyue ordered the craftsmen to build the floating chacha Lianjiang overnight, and Cheng, handsome 50,000 troops crossed the floating chacha river, Fei Xuan was terrified, and stuck to the inner city. Chongyue conquered his outer Guo and obtained 100 floating and sinking wooden ships to help the rest of the army.
