"The number of enemy troops is around five thousand. The scout reported: "Most of them are foot soldiers, but there are also archers." ”

The mountainous terrain of Xiangxi is rugged and difficult to navigate, and ordinary cavalry cannot enter it at all.

Dao Zhengfan's expression moved slightly: "Are they all soldiers?"

"No, judging by the speed of the enemy's march, most of them are militiamen. ”

"So, are there any craftsmen?" asked Michimasa.

Heavy siege weapons are difficult to bring into the mountains, so they can only be built on the spot with the abundant timber resources in the mountain forests.

"It doesn't seem to be. The other party replied quickly.

Dao Zheng laughed: "It seems that the current situation of Shenxiao Dao is indeed not good." ”

"Without craftsmen, we can't build trebuchets, chariots, and siege towers on the spot, so we can only climb the city with ladders or build earth mountains to shoot inside the city, but compared to our defense system, it's just a drizzle. ”

There were 500 soldiers and 1,000 militia in the Phoenix Fort, totaling 2,000 people.

In addition, the terrain of the mountain city is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, in the eyes of Dao Zhengfan, this person is indeed here to die.

"Then, hurry to the direction of Chengdu for help, and ask the head to send reinforcements. It is best to be the five-color reserve army of General Wang Jianxu. ”

The scout wondered, "Now it seems that this is just a tentative attack by Shenxiao, we can handle it enough, why do we need to ask for help?"

Dao Zhengfan laughed and said: "Tired of the enemy under the city, and then flanking with reinforcements, it is enough to make the enemy army have no return! If you can take the heads of Long Aotian and Xuezhai Old Bald Donkey in this battle, what kind of merit should it be?"

The scout was overjoyed and said: "General Dao is clever, Long Aotian is erected, and he is dead!"

Take the order now.

Dao Zhengfan said to Yun Hailan on the side: "Everyone is from Qingchengmen, and I also ask Miss Yun to help with all her strength to destroy the enemy." If you can kill the Lord of the Heavens, it will be a great achievement. ”

But he turned a blind eye to Wu Feng.

After all, Wu Feng's current identity is just a long-term follower of Yun Hailan.

Yun Hailan smiled and said, "Naturally, do your best." ”

Wu Feng thought to himself, if it is really possible to kill Long Aotian in this battle, I will not spare my hand.

It's just that your Qingcheng faction was bound to lose this battle, and you don't know if you can save your life.

Two days later, the Red Bird Banner of Shenxiao Dao appeared on the mountain road in the distance.

Like a blood-colored tide pouring down the valley.

Although there were only 5,000 people, in the rugged and narrow mountains of this road, the view was completely blocked, and it seemed endless.

The sound of the horn resounded in the sky.

Shenxiao Dao is dominated by archers, and each warrior-level archer has a special talisman attached to the longbow, which can increase the lethality of the bow and arrow.

As the enemy approached, a rain of arrows shot up in the sky, like countless wasps striking at each other.

With a wave of his hand, the city protection array was fully powerful.

The Qingcheng faction's protective formation is also very different from other factions. I saw the aura flowing, condensing seven colorful swords with shimmering light, hanging high in the air.

The giant sword hangs down the glow of the ten thousand paths, and the thousands of colors protect the city.

When the arrows hit the city walls, they lost their impact and fell to the ground weakly.

Moreover, this city protection formation can not only defend, from time to time there are sharp sword qi erupting out, condescending to fall into the enemy formation, and with the sound of screams, blood flowers bloom brilliant red.

The city also returned fire, with bows and arrows more lethal and infantry throwing stones at the enemy.

There are also many flying swords, flying endlessly like dense rain.

Yun Hailan is a master of the Conquering the Heavens and the Three Heavens, and the lethality of the Jade Rope Sword is extremely terrifying, almost every time the blade is rolled below, it can cut a Shenxiao Dao archer into two sections.

"The enemy is just a feint. Dao Zhengfan's eyes were like lightning: "Their purpose is to move to the commanding heights in the west and set up a mountain to shoot at the city." ”

I saw Dao Zhengfan give an order: "Adjust the giant crossbow, the iron gunners are ready, and deal the maximum blow to the enemy in the process of moving!"

Known as the first general of the young generation of the Qingcheng faction, the command talent of Dao Zhengfan is also decent, and there is a kind of prestige for the general, which makes his subordinates happy and convinced.

As he expected, the Shenxiao Archers below quickly evacuated the formation, then turned into a long snake formation, and ran towards the west, ascending the high hill.

Boom Boom!

The giant crossbow roared, firing its arm-thick bolts into the ranks of the enemy on the march, stabbing flesh and blood. The iron gunners raised their hands to start their guns, and in the explosion, broken bones, blood and brains flew all over the sky, and it was terrible to see.

"The enemy formation is starting to scatter, are you going out of the city to attack?" asked a junior colonel.

"No, you can't. The enemy's foot soldiers will not fire, if we attack now, we will hit the enemy's trap. Dao Zhengfan said firmly: "Wait until the enemy is tired of attacking the city, then you can kill for a while, continue to consume the morale of the enemy, and wait for the reinforcements to annihilate it." ”

The militiamen of Shenxiao Dao worked hard like ants, digging up the earth and rocks, and increasing the mound. The shield soldiers used large shields and cowhide armor to cover themselves to reduce the damage caused by fire in the city to their own troops.

When the earth mountain was completed, the pressure on the city suddenly increased. The Shenxiao army's bow and arrows are sharp, and they have a numerical advantage, and they shoot down, which is unfavorable to the defending side.

However, the large protective array and the pheasant wall on the city wall also provided effective protection for the defenders, so although the enemy attacked fiercely, they were still able to deal with it.

"Be careful, the enemy's infantry is about to move. "Michimasa's eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and he quickly judges the movements of the enemy army.

He was named the first general of the young generation of the Qingcheng faction, relying on his extremely keen war instincts.

The high ladder was erected by the sky, and the Shenxiao soldiers shouted and approached the city wall.

Because it is a mountain city, there is a lack of water on the mountain, and there are only a few springs in the city for the city soldiers to drink daily, but there is no moat, which saves the trouble of landfilling.

At this time, the city protection array had been pinned down by the Shenxiao archers, and the archers at the head of the city were also busy shooting at the enemy from afar.

Dao Zhengfan gave an order, and the foot soldiers lined up a solid gun array at the head of the city, waiting for the battle.

Some people even threw the rolling wood lime bottle cannon on the city wall, and the hot oil and dung soup were splashed downward, and the enemy army screamed endlessly, even if someone was lucky enough to kill the city wall, they were also killed by random guns, and the flesh and blood fell down in a blur.

But I saw an elder flying up and soaring up from the road!

The light of the arrows wrapped in the lightning broke through the air, and a giant crossbow was destroyed in an instant, exploded into dust and smoke, and the flesh and blood of the three spearmen exploded, and the ground was full of red, which was unbearable to see.

Long Aotian was unruly, standing at the head of the city, laughing wildly: "This Dao master is here, come here if you are brave enough!"

People in the world often say that the Shenxiao Dragon family, as an old and famous family, is decaying and declining, and the family governors rarely come to the battlefield in person.

This is clearly nonsense.

It is a fact that the history of Shenxiao Dao is too long, the internal structure is aging, there are many factions, and the operating mechanism is flawed. It is also a fact that the successive heads of the Long family have admired culture, like to be vassals and elegant, humming songs and songs, and chanting poems.

But this does not conflict with courage in the slightest.

The reason why Long Aotian's father, Long Zhanye, was famous and famous was precisely because he was often the first to charge, so he won the hearts of the people.

And Long Aotian saw that the soldiers were not lightly damaged, so he personally rushed to the city to boost morale.

The Shenxiao soldiers burst into cheer and morale, and rushed in along the gap made by Long Aotian!

There is no shortage of masters.

Yun Hailan smiled skillfully, like a faint blue night, floating away, and said to Long Aotianman: "I'll fight you." ”

Long Aotian swept his eyes: "What a beauty." ”

He cried out, "If I win, I will take you down and make me a concubine who makes the bed and folds the quilt!"

In front of the soldiers, Long Aotian spoke openly and did not shy away from it, but the Shenxiao soldiers were encouraged one after another, and they laughed one by one.

"Come on, Dao Master, take down this big beauty!"

"Such a beautiful woman is a match for the Taoist. ”

Hearing these words, Yun Hailan was not angry at all, his eyes flowed, and countless faint cloud threads suddenly emanated from the jade rope sword, turning into a white cloud.

seems to be as weak as her delicate eye waves, but it hides endless murderous intentions.

This is the Luoyi Yun family's peerless "Innate Cloud Qi Sword Technique".

Long Aotian raised the sky-shaking bow in his palm, and the lightning surged, but he was taken by Yun Hailan, like a stone sinking into the sea.

Originally, Long Aotian was a true master, and Yun Hailan was only a trifecta of conquering the heavens. However, Long Aotian killed the head of the city, and his strength was limited by the great array of city protection, but he could only fight evenly with Yun Hailan.
