Chapter 115: Battle of Maple Leaf City
The belly of the fish in the east is white, and the dawn of dawn is about to expel the darkness that envelops the earth, bringing light to the Lingwu Continent again. Thousands of miles of burning clouds covered the eastern sky, and the fiery colors seemed to indicate that there would be a fierce bloody battle today.
Da! Da! Da!
At this moment, the horses' hooves were arrayed, and the eight thousand troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were riding war horses and marching towards Maple Leaf City.
Each horse was wrapped in a white cloth on its feet to prevent the sound of horses' hooves from traveling too far. In the advancing army, whether it was the sergeants of the Royal Forest Army or the men and horses of the major families, everyone's faces flashed and they were excited about the upcoming war!
Being able to conquer all directions, attack cities and plunder land, kill enemies on the battlefield, and become famous is a dream that almost every boy has in his heart!
On the way forward, the people of the Yang, Liu, Han, and Xu families secretly looked at the Ling family from time to time, because they collectively received an order last night: keep an eye on the people of the Ling family, find an opportunity to isolate them from the other families, and then kill them all, especially Ling Feng, must not let him escape!
Although the gazes of Yang, Liu, Han, and Xu were vague, Ling Feng vigilantly caught this trace of abnormality.
"It seems that they have really joined forces and are ready to be unfavorable to the Ling family!" Ling Feng was already very sure of the other party's intentions. Fortunately, he had already told the eldest brother and the people of the "Fengrui" team last night not to break away from other families, so that the other party would not have a chance to do it at all!
"Stop!"
After the army marched to a distance of about five miles away from Maple Leaf City, Zuo Yu ordered everyone to stop: "The horse's hooves are vibrating, it is easy for the other party to notice, everyone dismounts and performs light skills to get closer!"
With Zuo Yu's order, the eight thousand army quickly dismounted their horses and galloped silently towards Maple Leaf City, led by the Royal Forest Army.
......
On the north side of Maple Leaf City, a large number of soldiers patrolled back and forth, vigilantly watching the movements under the city walls.
"Eyes widen, the enemy may come to attack the city at any time! Everyone must defend Maple Leaf City with all their might!" a burly man in heavy armor shouted to the soldiers around him as he walked, followed by a group of soldiers patrolling the city.
Although they were a little tired, the soldiers looked carefully under the city walls one by one.
"Enemy attack! enemy attack!" a terrible voice suddenly rang out.
The soldiers of the entire city trembled, and one by one their eyes widened and looked into the distance below the city.
The burly man paused, lay on the head of the city and looked down, his face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Archer, prepare!"
I saw countless soldiers in silver armor under the city wall rushing over quickly. Everyone was extremely fast, and by the time the soldiers on the city wall were ready for their bows and arrows, the soldiers at the front of the city had already rushed to a distance of about fifty zhang from the city wall.
Wang Qiang stepped on the top of the city, stretched out his hand and pointed at the rapidly approaching soldiers under the city wall, and shouted: "Aim at the enemy, shoot me!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The arrows rained down like springs, piercing the air, and shooting overwhelmingly at the wave of Imperial Guards who rushed to the front under the city wall.
Bell!
The 1,500 Imperial Forest Army who rushed to the front quickly put the shield on their arms in front of them, and suddenly, 1,500 shields formed a huge shield wall, easily blocking the rain of arrows. Only a few Royal Guards soldiers were accidentally wounded by arrows and suffered some minor injuries.
Under the cover of the shield wall, the 1,500 Royal Forest Army at the front had already rushed to 20 zhang below the city wall. After once again resisting a rain of arrows on the city wall, the 1,500 archers of the Imperial Forest Army who followed closely behind also drew their longbows and shot arrows towards the city wall like locusts.
Poof!
At close range, some of the soldiers on the city wall didn't have time to dodge, and they were hit by arrows and rolled over and fell from the city wall. Of course, most of the arrows were blocked by the heavy walls and broken.
But taking advantage of the opportunity for the soldiers at the head of the city to avoid the rain of arrows, the front of the Royal Forest Army had already rushed to the city wall, pulled out the dagger at his waist, stomped on the ground, jumped up to four or five zhang, inserted the dagger in his hand into the city wall, and hung the whole person on the city wall.
Suddenly, the nearly 100 Royal Forest troops hanging on the city wall wanted to jump up again with the support of daggers.
"Such a strong army, rushing under the city wall so quickly, it is worthy of being the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace!" Wang Qiang on the city wall shrank his pupils and shouted:
"Quick, rockfall, smash me!"
"Hot oil, pour it for me!"
Hundreds of pounds of boulders that had been prepared for a long time slammed down from the city, and a large amount of boiling oil poured down and poured on the heads of the royal forest soldiers hanging on the city wall.
"Ahh
Many soldiers of the Royal Forest Army hurriedly jumped and dodged, but many were still hit by boulders and burned by boiling oil. A few Royal Guards soldiers who had just escaped the boulders and boiling oil had just jumped onto the city, but they were pierced through the heart and fell from the city wall by the siege of several soldiers who had been waiting there.
"Rocket, burn them for me!" Wang Qiang roared with a hideous face.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless rockets whizzed under the city walls. There was boiling oil everywhere, and when it met the sparks, it immediately burned with raging fire, and the fire was so great that the ten-zhang high city walls were full of black smoke and flames. Some of the Royal Forester soldiers who couldn't dodge also had flames burning on their bodies, screaming in pain and rolling on the ground to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
Looking at the huge sea of fire under the city wall, Wang Qiang looked excited, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "I don't care if you are the Imperial Forest Army or an elite sergeant, as long as I am here today, you will not want to break through Maple Leaf City!"
However, Wang Qiang still underestimated the strength of this army of 8,000 people!
Zuo Yu, who was watching the battle not far from under the city wall, was full of confidence in his eyes, and his right hand waved violently!
"Brothers, rush with me!"
The leaders of the major families who had been waiting for Zuo Yu's order for a long time had a gleam in their eyes, roared angrily one by one, and rushed towards Maple Leaf City with their clansmen, and then slammed on the ground, instantly jumped five or six feet high, crossed the flames burning under the city, and stepped directly on the daggers inserted by the first wave of Royal Forest Army soldiers in the city wall.
It turned out that the purpose of the first wave of the Imperial Guards was only to leave daggers behind so that their companions could have a foothold.
Whew, whew!
More than a dozen clan leaders stepped on the daggers almost simultaneously, and then slammed into the city walls.
"What!"
"How is that possible!"
Before the soldiers at the head of the city could smile, they were stunned by the situation before them.
"Quick, rockfall, boiling oil! Stop them for me!" The sudden situation made Wang Qiang startled and became furious.
One by one, the hot iron pots overturned, and the boiling oil fell mercilessly. Many leaders hurriedly dodged, and the upward momentum stagnated, and fell again. However, several leaders relied on the protection of heavy armor and their own innate true qi to protect their bodies, bowed their heads and stiffened against the boiling oil, desperately grabbed the head of the city wall, and with a force of their arms, they flew up to the head of the city.
Among them is Ling Feng!
He was safe and sound in the boiling Nine Heavens Galaxy Water, how could he be afraid of this boiling oil?
"Kill!" swords and spears swung at the leaders who had just ascended the city. One of the leaders accidentally stabbed in the front door and fell. The other leaders easily blocked the attacks of several soldiers on the opposite side.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
These leaders roared angrily, relying on their own powerful strength, wantonly and frantically killing one soldier after another, like a wolf entering a flock.
"Peng!" Ling Feng slapped a soldier's head open, and roared loudly: "Brothers, kill!"
A frantic roar echoed over Maple Leaf City, inspiring more soldiers to rush to the city without hesitation. For a while, dozens of royal forest soldiers and clansmen from various families had rushed to the city, fighting frantically with the soldiers defending the city, and more soldiers were still pouring into the city.
"How could it be so easy!" Wang Qiang shot through a soldier of the Imperial Forest Army who had just rushed to the city, and his eyes were full of shock and anger when he saw more and more enemy troops on the city wall.
He didn't expect that Maple Leaf City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he had been preparing for the city defense for so many days, and he didn't even defend an attack by the army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!
Wang Qiang glared at the leaders who rushed to the city first with angry eyes, and among them was the figure that made him hate to the bone!
Gritting his teeth, he already knew that he couldn't keep Maple Leaf City, he raised the spear in his hand and rushed straight towards that figure desperately!
