Chapter 146: Descent
"Ah——" A phantom soldier guarded the city, stabbed the knife in his hand down, and stopped a demon soldier who was climbing on the ladder and trying to climb the city wall, but he didn't prevent the opponent from sinking strongly, and blocked it with *, and then flipped over with the momentum.
Seeing that something was wrong, the two Phantom soldiers defending the city immediately rushed up and sealed the gap in the city.
While climbing the ladder to attack the city, while defending the city in blood.
Ying Yi sat on the leopard flower pony and looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction.
This has been the siege of the demon army for seven days, and the siege of the city for five days in succession.
The phantom soldiers defending the city are getting worse and worse, and it is difficult to stop the attack of the demon soldiers alone, and they still rely on the advantage of the number of people at the head of the city to barely maintain the city wall from being breached.
"The Phantom soldiers have always been brave and good at fighting, and now they seem so weak and vulnerable, it must be because there is a shortage of food in the city, and none of them have enough to eat. The military advisor Gong Weile sat next to Yingyi: "Hold on for a few more days, Zitong will definitely be broken, and then General Yechen will lead most of the troops to come, and the head of the general will be rewarded!"
"Hahaha!" Yingyi laughed loudly: "I think this time, Wei Xiao has exhausted his clever plan, and it is difficult to return to the sky!"
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "How many days can the food brought by our army last?"
Gong Wei calculated in his heart, and replied: "My military degree can last for three days." ”
Yingyi frowned: "Our army is the vanguard army, all use light horses and fast horses, and there is not much grain and grass with them, pass on my order, three days of internal affairs must capture Zitong Pass, and those who break the city will be rewarded!"
At this moment, a crack was seen in the city gate, and a team of men and horses came out of the city and rushed towards this side.
Ying Yifang shouted: "Archer, release the arrow!"
I saw that a group of hundreds of men and horses rushed over, and the leader erected a white flag, dancing on one side, and shouting loudly: "General Yan Chop Hugh wants to release arrows!
Ying Yi squinted at it, waved his hand and said, "Archer, get down!"
A line of archers ready to shoot immediately retreated.
Gong Wei said: "General, aren't you afraid that this team of people will surrender by fraud?"
Ying Yi smiled coldly: "A mere few hundred men and horses, can you defeat my 300,000 troops? I'm afraid that I will be turned into powder immediately! And I also saw the leading general, it is one of the generals who fought against me a few days ago, if you want to fight alone, you can't go more than three rounds under me, even if you surrender, what can they do to me?"
Gong Wei arched his hand and said: "The general is mighty, and the world is unstoppable!"
As he spoke, he saw that the team of men and horses was running closer, and the leading one person lay on the horse, and when he arrived in front of De Yingyi and Gong Wei, he immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt on the ground and said: "General Xiu Rui of the Yi Army, who has long admired the name of the general, led the crowd to surrender, and is willing to return to the tent, and be willing to be punished!"
Hundreds of soldiers behind him also knelt in the dust together, and said in unison: "We are willing to be condemned!"
Ying Yi sat on the horse, glanced at the team of men and horses, only to see that everyone was bloody, their clothes were tattered, and the dust was stained, and it was obvious that they were fighting hard after a bloody battle in the city, Fang said: "Wei Xiao is a peerless general, scheming, and leading the troops well, knowing people well, I heard that although the commander of the army is strict, he is friendly to the subordinates, and the food is the same as the corporal - such a general, although I am his mortal enemy, I also admire it, but you still want to rebel?"
"General Yan Chop doesn't know!" Xiu Rui fell to the ground, raised his head, and said angrily: "That Wei Xiao actually wanted to behead the last general in front of the battle for a soldier who stole food to eat, but fortunately all the generals interceded, so he changed the beheading to a hundred rods," lifted the armor with one hand, and saw that the staff on his back was stained with blood, and Xiu Rui's eyes were filled with tears, and he said: " This person is not my race, but he was ordered by the lord of the country to be the general of Tiance, commanding the three armies, but he did not pity us and other generals who worked hard for him, but bought the heart of the army for a mere soldier, deceived the world and stole his name, I was punished, and there was already injustice in my heart, I fought with the general that day, and saw that the general defeated my three generals in a row, and injured the second, it was as easy as a hand, Xiu Rui's heart had already been convinced, and he sacrificed his life to surrender, please don't shirk the general!"
Military advisor Gong Wei immediately bowed his hand to Yingyi and said: "General, no matter whether what this person said is true or not, it is all the truth, it seems that such a person who betrays the enemy is even despised by my demon clan, I see-" He looked down at Xiu Rui who was lying on the ground: "It's better to behead it!"
Xiu Rui trembled, immediately took off the sword at his waist, held it in his palm, prostrate forward, and raised it high: "I, Xiu Rui, are sincere to surrender, if the general doesn't believe it, he will behead him to prove his heart!"
Ying Yi squinted at him, and suddenly immediately bowed down, took the sword from Xiu Rui's palm, and then swung a sword towards his head!
Xiu Rui closed his eyes, motionless, and was poked in the neck.
"Smack!", the green tassel on his helmet was cut off by a sword and fell into the dust.
Xiu Rui opened his eyes: "General Yan Slash?"
Yingyi turned over and dismounted, laughed, took his saber in both hands, and returned it to him: "You get up, since you have surrendered to me, you are the general of our army, how can you use the old armor again?"
Beckoning, immediately a set of wild goose armor in the wild goose slashing capital, Ying Yi personally picked up the helmet, put it on for Xiu Rui, looked at it, and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "In this way, it is my good son in the wild goose slashing army, you lead the troops to vote for me, and you are still a former general in the army, if you can break the city and make meritorious contributions this time, after you go back, you will add a tattoo of the wild goose, what do you think?"
Xiu Rui was overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again: "General Xie!"
Hundreds of Phantom Clan soldiers under him also knelt on the ground and said in unison, "General Xie!"
Xiu Rui stood up, took out an arrow from the quiver, walked to the tiger squat cannon of the demon army attacking the city, put the arrow close to the mouth of the cannon, lit it, and then turned around and walked back, handing the arrow to Yingyi with both hands: "Xiu Rui killed Wei Xiao's heart to break the city, I can't wait!
"Okay!" Ying Yi shouted, took the long arrow that was on fire from Xiu Rui's hand, blew out the flames, and then stabbed Xiu Rui's right face with the hot arrow that was still burning with green smoke!
The black and hot arrow crossed the skin on his face, and immediately there was a sound of burning flesh and skin, and a mushy smell wafted out, but Xiu Rui did not frown, and tried his best to hold back the pain, until Yingyi finished drawing the shape of the axe tattoo, he took a step back and bowed his hand: "General Xie!"
"Okay!" Ying Yi looked at the tattoo on his face and nodded with satisfaction: "You and your brothers are all visionary people, now abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will be kind!" waved his hand back: "I have suffered from the food in the city in the past few days, and I have suffered you, my army has good wine and meat, you go and eat a little first!"
"General!" Xiu Rui arched his hand, his eyes firm: "The last general only wants to break the city, no need to eat!"
"Where's that?" Ying Yi patted him on the shoulder very kindly: "Only when you are full can you fight a tough battle! There is plenty of food in my army, you and your brothers will eat first, and then come to discuss with me the plan to break the city!"
"Yes, General!" Xiu Rui replied and left with his men.
When he was far away, Gong Weifang stepped forward and said, "I have an army of 300,000, why do I need to accept hundreds of troops from this mere area? ”
"Three days," Yingyi narrowed his eyes, his face instantly became cold, and his eyes looked at the city on the opposite side: "Only three days, I will take Zitong Pass, if there are not these troops who know the bottom of Zitong Pass to explore the way for us, how to break the city?" He turned his head and looked at the military advisor: "Although they only have a few hundred people, they only need one Xiu Rui, and they can reach my hundreds of thousands of troops!"
"Wei Xiao's army is very strict, but he doesn't want to rebel against the extreme, which makes people rebel, I think he is lifting a stone to hit his own feet this time, but I'm afraid that this time, he will be planted in the hands of this soldier who was severely punished by him!"
"I see...... Gong Wei also understood, and nodded: "General Yan is not only a martial artist, but also wise and incomparable, I think Wei Xiao has met an opponent this time!"
Yingyi looked at the opposite city, and smiled coldly: "The sword cuts the revenge of the eyebrows, and Yingyi swears to revenge!"
On this day, Xiu Rui personally supervised and instructed the demon soldiers to build a siege vehicle called a "wooden mantle". This kind of siege vehicle is made of a board as a curtain, standing orange on a four-wheeled vehicle, it seems very simple, in half a day, more than a dozen are built.
Xiu Rui also made a kind of wooden hammer car, this kind of wooden car suspended a huge wooden hammer in the air, and the siege was used to knock on the city gate, and the power was huge.
On the second day, Xiu Rui personally charged forward, leading the demon army to attack the city with a wooden curtain, first the hanging curtain approached the city wall, and then ordered the soldiers to be agile ants attached to it, although the city defenders at the head of the city shot arrows and rolling stones like rain, but they could not hurt the demon soldiers at all, seeing the wooden mantle approaching the city, but there was no way.
The demon army relied on more than a dozen wooden curtain carts, rushed to the city like a tide, set up a cloud ladder, and began a more fierce round of onslaught.
The Phantom Clan soldiers couldn't resist it, and they fell to the head of the city one after another, killing and wounding countless people.
Gong Wei couldn't help but nod and praise: "Zitong Pass has been repaired by Wei Xiao to be impregnable, but Xiu Rui really knows its shortcomings, this seemingly simple wind curtain car, but it is really the most practical offensive protective armor, this time, our army can invest several times the previous troops to attack the city, and the defenders are few, and sooner or later they will not be able to resist!"
Xiang Yingyi arched his hand: "The general took in the descendants, it was really a clever move!"
"Haha!" Ying Yi looked at the city with his hands down: "When the city is broken, I will leave Wei Xiao's life behind, and I will be ashamed of it with my own hands!"
His gaze suddenly shrank!
I saw a figure slowly appear above the city.
- Wei Xiao!
