Chapter 147: Street Fighting

It was the first time Xia Fan had seen the princess in a military uniform.

Unlike Qiguo's standard armor, Ning Wanjun's armor was obviously custom-made for her, with only metal armor wrapped around her chest, shoulders, and arms, and a white short robe, black cloth pants, and a pair of high buckskin boots underneath.

If it's just like this, it can only be regarded as ordinary, at most it can be said that a certain degree of defensiveness has been sacrificed for convenience.

But on her right shoulder, a bright red cloak robe with sleeves brought the armor to life—half sleeveless, half robe, and a single girdle that stretched from her chest to her waist, separating the wearer into two distinct parts, red and white, as dazzling as they were.

Coupled with Ning Wanjun's own dazzling look, Xia Fan couldn't help but think of the red-hot meteorite.

If she rushes to the battlefield, the cloak that blows in the wind should be like a meteorite that cuts through the night, right?

Although there are certain safety risks if they are too conspicuous, there are risks in the princess going into battle in person, and dressing up has become a trivial matter.

As the person who leads the charge, the more distinct the better.

After the large army passed through the east gate, the troops divided into two routes, and the six hundred men led by Xu Sanzhong turned to the southern city district, aiming for the weapons depot there. And the princess led more than 1,500 men straight to the north, intending to take the Jinxia granary before the enemy.

In the end, the remaining 200 people were handed over to Zhao Dahai and Li Xing to command, and the main task was to evacuate the people of the city and place them in temporary camps outside the city.

This was also the rough plan for dealing with the enemy that had been drawn up after a short pre-war meeting.

The eastern wall is the farthest from the west, so it is not a problem to hold it in your hand. As long as Nancheng District takes down the arsenal and distributes the strong crossbows, spears and armor inside, the strength of the princess's troops can be greatly enhanced, and the southern city wall can naturally be protected.

Both the west and north walls were within the gunboat's range and could only be abandoned for the time being.

Therefore, the granary in the north became the most important thing to take the city.

The enemy is coming across the sea, presumably with limited supplies, and the best way is to get it on the spot.

In other words, as long as you can capture the granary, you can greatly damage the enemy's logistics.

Because of this, the team led by the princess was the largest of the three forces and the main force of the battle.

"Report to Your Highness, the scouts have found signs of enemy activity at the entrance of Gujiekou, and the number is about two hundred!"

"Have they all come here yet?" Ning Wanjun didn't stop, "It seems that these people are not at all less familiar with Jinxia City than us." ”

"In this way, I am afraid that the enemy has set his sights on the granary from the beginning. Qiu Yue looked worried.

"So what? Whether or not you can occupy this place, in the end, you have to speak with strength. But there's at least one thing we have the upper hand for. ”

"What?"

"The number of people who feel the gas. Ning Wanjun said with a smile, "In the past, the Fang Shi in the border army was a treasure, but now we have less than two thousand troops, and there are as many as ten Fang Shi, not to mention the help of demons, so take it easy." ”

"Your Highness, are you serious?" Xia Fan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "Those Fang Shi I recruited...... No, it's a temporary worker, and at most you've only dealt with evil spirits, so you'd better not expect anything from them. ”

Not to mention Master, Sun Haotian and others, even he doesn't have much in his heart.

"How come, even the most lame sentimental person is also a sentimenter. Besides, the battlefield is always the most tempering place, and you will know it when you experience it once. ”

"Okay, what should I do later?"

"It's simple, just find a way to cast the spell on the enemy. Ning Wanjun raised her eyebrows forward and said, "Look, the opponent is waiting for us." Command, stop advancing!"

"Your Highness has an order, stop advancing!"

"Your Highness has an order, stop advancing!"

Shouts rang out from the front of the line and spread quickly from the front row to the rear.

It was the first time for Xia Fan to participate in the battle of this era - it didn't sound like there were many people in two hundred, but when he stood on the street, it was black, and the bright sword pointed straight ahead, like a wall of sharp blades, and the momentum was not much worse than that of the princess.

In fact, the width of a street is at most enough for a dozen or so people to stand side by side, and with the addition of guarding against enemies from rooftops and other street crossings, your own numerical superiority is not reflected.

The two sides confronted each other, close enough to see each other's faces, once they fought, there were people behind them, and it could be said that there was no way back at all - the so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, perhaps it is a true portrayal of the street fighting in this era.

"I'll break through the front, and I'll hand it over to you on the roof, Xia Fan. ”

Ning Wanjun raised his spear so that everyone could see the tip of his maroon spear, "Order, five teams are a group, follow me to attack!"

"Your Highness has an order, five teams as a group, follow the attack!"

When the order came, she slowly dumped the barrel of her gun, and when the point was pointed at the enemy, she shouted, "Charge!"

The twenty-five people at the front of the line roared in unison, and rushed towards the opposite side—

The enemy also responded at the same time, raising their swords one after another, without the slightest hint of retreating.

At such times, momentum and will play a decisive role.

The two streams of people collided together in an instant, and the whole street suddenly boiled!

Although it seems to be a battle between cold weapons, the presence of the Qi Senser raises the killing efficiency to a new level. Ning Wanjun rushed out of the crowd and plunged straight into the enemy's formation like a sharp blade, the surging qi condensed into waves of heat in the barrel of the gun and in her hands, hurting when touched, killing in the middle, and the heat could even ignite clothes and hair.

Xia Fan couldn't help but recall the scene when everyone fought with the blood crows in Gaoshan County.

At that time, I only felt that the situation was critical, and only Ning Wanjun was struggling to support it in the audience, but if I thought about it as a blood crow, it was estimated that the experience would not be much better in the face of this fierce offensive.

However, compared to Ning Wanjun, what surprised him even more was the maid Qiu Yue - she was actually also a Qi Senser, and she still used a longbow.

Street fighting shouldn't be a good place for ranged weapons, but this doesn't work for Akizuki. She nimbly used every high platform—sometimes a stone lion on the side of the street, a long table, sometimes a protruding eaves and beams—to send feathered swords into her target's neck and armorless parts with precision, and there were almost no arrows missing within twenty meters.

"Brother Xia, be careful!" Wei Wushuang reminded.

Xia Fan retracted his attention and looked at the other end of the row of roofs - he saw that more than twenty Dongsheng Kingdom warriors armed with light crossbows had already come up from both sides.

The team was led by two masked swordsmen wrapped in black tights.

This is probably a ninja.

Did the Privy Council Priests fight against Dongsheng Ninjutsu...... It's a dramatic contest.

Although he was so slanderous in his heart, he still raised his vigilance to the highest point - the last time he fought with Qingzi was still vivid, Xia Fan decided not to be within five steps of them if it was not necessary.

Seeing that the other party raised the light crossbow, Luo You'er, who was following behind Xia Fan, took the lead in casting a spell.

"Xunshu returns, whisk willows!"
