Chapter 22: Confrontation (1)
"Ahh
On the city wall, where the wind grinding mouth is not high, a terrible scream sounded.
A soldier was struck in the right leg by a stone thrown by a trebuchet, tearing half of his body and crushing him into a puddle of bloody mud. This soldier's cultivation was not bad, and he did not die immediately, and the screams were inspiring.
Qu Chang next to him raised his knife and hacked the injured soldier to death, and said: "Brother, in the future, I will take care of your father and mother!"
The range of the bow and arrow is far less than that of the catapult, and this round of arrows rained down, and even the corners of the enemy's clothes were not touched.
Five hundred meters away from the city wall, a hundred catapults, divided into two rows, were continuously throwing boulders at the wall.
The hit rate of the catapult is not high, and the soldiers can easily dodge it. But this small wall has long been crumbling by catapults.
Qu Chang said: "Stop shooting! Hide behind the city wall! The stone bullet stops and comes up again!"
In the military formation of the Zhongming Empire, Shi Zhengyang sat on the platform, holding a volume of ancient books, and read it leisurely.
One came to report: "Your Highness, the catapult has been bombarded for two hours, and the wall of the wind outlet has collapsed in several places, and the sound of the defenders cannot be heard on the city wall. The enemy's defense is weak, full of holes, and our cars happen to be broken down a few times, have you stopped throwing rocks and started to attack the city?"
Shi Zhengyang said without thinking: "Keep banging! If the car breaks down, it can be repaired, but if a person dies, it can't be saved!"
"Yes!" the general saluted and turned to leave.
"Wait! You leave half of the catapult to attack the city wall, and the remaining half gradually shortens the range to find out if there are any traps in the road!"
Half an hour later, the general came back and reported: "Your Highness is wise, there are indeed many potholes on the road!"
Shi Zhengyang put down the scroll, stood up, and said: "Dying and struggling, lingering for breath! Pass on my military order, stop the bombardment, and release the ironclad horse!"
The iron-armored horse is short and strong, hard-working and hard-working, and is a low-level soul beast unique to the northwest mountains, named after the iron armor. Each iron-armored horse is covered with a layer of cotton armor, and the arrows are difficult to hurt.
Shi Zhengyang collected a total of nearly 1,000 ironclad horses, at this time only released a hundred, each horse carrying two bags of soil, encountered a trap, the ironclad horse shook off the mud bag by itself, and then ran back.
The horses went in batches, one by one, and soon advanced to the city wall.
Seeing that the ironclad horse was close, the defenders of the mill mouth ordered to pour fire oil and shoot rockets, so that they could barely stop the horse's momentum.
Qu Chang sucked his red nose from the cold, and shouted: "After the ironclad horse returns, they will attack the city, quickly burn the snow water, and pour the gap in the city wall, now the water is dripping into ice, and it is not easy for them to climb up!"
On the side of the Zhongming army, the soldiers shouted the trumpet, pushing the mid-mountain boats, wooden donkey carts, arrow towers, flying bridges, ladders, hitchhiking, and door cars, and rushed to the city gate with neat steps.
The horn became more and more urgent, louder and louder, and when it reached fifty or sixty meters in front of the pass, it suddenly became a noise, archery shooting, shouting and shouting, charging and charging, one by one, swallowing mountains and rivers, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
After Shi Zhengyang cleared the roadblock, he directly omitted the temptation link and launched a general attack.
Qu Chang, who is guarding the wind port, is terrible, looking at the posture of the enemy's charge, it is estimated that he will not be able to escape if he wants to run away!
He turned his heart on the horizon and shouted, "Burn me!" and personally shot a rocket. The city wall suddenly boiled to the sky, and countless sassal trees, stray arrows, fire oil, and boulders poured down.
The besiegers trampled on the corpses of their companions and rushed to the gap where the walls had collapsed. The feathered arrows of the turret are desperately firing towards the gap, providing long-range support for the siege infantry.
As soon as the siege soldiers rushed up through the gap, a sergeant suddenly slipped and fell, and in an instant, the waves rolled up, and the whole group of charging people rolled down. The defending sergeant poured boiling oil and lit a raging fire to block the enemy.
"Rubbish!"
Shi Zhengyang saw clearly on the stage, and scolded angrily.
The crescent moon white who accompanied him on the side, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said: "A small setback, it doesn't hurt the overall situation, Your Highness doesn't have to be anxious." This grinding tuyere, it can't be eliminated for a while, and it will be taken down!"
After a moment of commotion, a small group of men and horses suddenly flashed out in the Zhongming army, holding a heavy shield in his left hand, wielding a giant axe in his right hand, and stepping on his legs on specially non-slip sharp-toothed iron boots.
As soon as the garrison sergeant of the Mofengkou breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw an enemy general rushing up from the sea of fire, raised his spear, and stabbed at him in unison.
The young general swept his shield, knocked more than a dozen spears off, and swung away the giant axe, immediately cutting the three of them into six. The comrades-in-arms behind him swarmed up, chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly stood up for the gap in the city wall.
The golden-robed young general was especially dissatisfied, and charged forward, slaughtering the soldiers defending the city.
"Good time!"
Seeing that the future will be fierce, Qu Chang roared, his body soared, his hands turned into tiger claws, and he slapped the general.
This Qu Chang is a forty-sixth-level soul venerable, a colorful tiger with a martial soul, and this move just now is his strongest soul skill "Tiger Descending the Mountain", destroying the monument and cracking the stone, and it is unstoppable.
The golden-robed young general sneered: "Just a soul venerable, dare to block me!" threw the heavy shield, grabbed the giant axe with both hands, and slashed it down!
Qu Chang was furious, sideways to avoid the giant axe, and used the "Tiger Descending Mountain" again, and the two soul skills were actually stacked together, attacking the coming general.
The little giant axe couldn't come back to help, so he had to drop the giant axe, and with his bare hands, he took this trick hard.
"Bang!" The thunder roared, and the air waves rolled, causing the sergeants within a few meters to stagger, dizzy.
The young general took five or six steps back, and if it weren't for the sergeant behind him, he would hardly be able to stand.
Qu Chang flipped back in mid-air, stood up, held back the tumbling qi and blood in his heart, and said with a smile: "I said how strong you are, it's just a soul venerable!"
The young general did not show weakness, snatched the giant axe of a soldier next to him, and said, "Rush with me!"
Although Qu Chang's words were strong, he saw that the general trend had gone, and he was powerless to return to the sky, and shouted: "You guys go!
In the Qinglong Continent, the two armies still rely on weapons and equipment, morale formations, and terrain most of the time, so whichever side is well prepared, well-trained, and logistically powerful, which side has a greater chance of winning.
As for soul skills and attribute skills, it is rare to see anyone use them.
There are many reasons for this.
First of all, from the overall point of view, the growth of soul masters is extremely difficult, and those who can cultivate successfully are always in the minority. In the army, most of them are low-level soul masters, and the persistence of their use of soul skills and attribute skills is quite low, and the power is not great, and sometimes it is not as destructive as using normal weapons.
Second, everyone's soul skills are strange and different, and the attribute skills are also very different, with a variety of tricks.
Third, the two armies collide and decide life and death with one touch, so special attention is paid to the neatness of the pace and the same retreat, so that everyone's strength can be combined in one direction and converge into a torrent, which can not only save the physical strength of the soldiers, but also play the greatest killing effect.
Fourth, being in a military formation, there are people in front and behind, left and right, and there is no space for soul skills and attribute skills to brew and move, even if a few people want to use soul skills, it is difficult to find opportunities.
But does this mean that soul skills and attribute skills are useless?
