Chapter 167: Feint

Wan Quan secretly gritted his teeth, hurriedly lowered his body, and dodged Xiao Jue's bow, and then, he stabbed back without looking back, taking Xiao Jue's neck and throat instead.

Xiao Jue reacted quickly, kicked the ground with both feet, and the person jumped into the air. Wan Quan turned back and shot from the bottom up.

Xiao Jueren was in the air, waving his knife to parry, and when he was long, the spirit soldier and the spirit soldier collided in one place. Affected by the force of the rebound, Xiao Jueren's figure in the air flew backwards, but at the same time as he flew out upside down, he quickly pulled out two spiritual arrows from his back, put on the bowstring, and condescendingly shot two arrows at the same time towards Wanquan.

Although the two spirit arrows were shot together, they flew in diametrically opposite directions, drawing two arcs in the air to the left and right.

Seeing two spiritual arrows flying from his left and right, Wan Quan was shocked and hurriedly retreated. He retreated quickly, but the spirit arrows flew faster, and in the blink of an eye they were close to him.

Wan Quan used his strength to eat milk and swung a shot to the left and right, but as soon as his two shots were swung out, the two spirit arrows sank at the same time, drilled under the spirit spear, and shot directly at Wan Quan's left and right thighs.

Listening to two crisp sounds in a row, the spirit arrow pierced the spirit armor of his thigh, the force was so great that it pierced his leg bones, and two bloody arrows penetrated through his inner thigh.

He screamed, rolled over and fell to the ground, and before he could get up, Xiao Jue took three steps and two steps, came to him, raised his hand and fell, snapped, and his powerful bow was smashing on the top of Wanquan's head.

This bow went down, and Wan Quan's head was directly smashed into ten thousand peach blossoms, and blood and brains burst to the ground, and the latter died on the spot without saying a word.

Seeing Xiao Jue's victory and killing the opponent's main general, the morale of the Jinchuan army was greatly boosted, and at the same time, the drums in the camp roared and shook the sky.

On the other hand, the more than 500 Feihua Pavilion rebels on the other side were all frightened, and their faces suddenly changed, and they turned around one by one, rushing towards the city.

Xiao Jue lifted his leg to hook the spear used by Wan Quan, he used all his strength, threw it forward, his shot, threw more than forty meters away, right in the back of a rebel's heart, with a muffled sound, the spear penetrated the rebel's body, nailing it to the ground.

He stepped forward to chase and kill, but as soon as he entered the city of Jincheng a hundred steps, arrows were fired at the head of the city. Xiao Jue waved his bow to knock away the flying feathers, and then, retreating to a hundred steps away from Jincheng, he pointed at the head of the city with the spirit bow in his hand, and asked loudly: "Who else will go out of the city to fight with me?"

There was no sound on the head of Jincheng City, Xiao Jue shouted three times in a row, not only did no one face him, but the gate of Jincheng was also closed by the rebels. Shangguan Xiu, who was in the rear sweeping formation, smiled, turned his head sideways and said to Luo Ren beside him: "Ah Ren, use the stone thrower to attack the city!"

With Shangguan Xiu's order, the Jinchuan army pushed out more than 20 stone throwers in unison, set them up in front of the city of Jincheng, and launched a long-range attack on Jincheng.

More than 20 stone throwers were launched in unison, and more than 20 boulders pierced the sky, roaring towards the city wall of Jincheng.

Boom, boom -

For a while, the boulders hit the city wall, making the loud noise on the city wall continue, some boulders smashed on the wall, smashing the city wall out of pits, and some boulders fell on the city, smashing the arrows to pieces.

In order to avoid the attack of the stone thrower, the rebels at the head of the city ran down the city wall to hide, taking this opportunity, the Jinchuan army launched the arrow tower and advanced to Jincheng.

The height of the arrow tower is 10 meters, which is equivalent to the height of the city wall, and soldiers can stand on it, and they can directly shoot arrows at the enemy on the city wall, or they can build a board bridge and directly charge the head of the city from the arrow tower.

However, there is a trench dug under the city of Jincheng, and the arrow tower can not be too close to the city wall, although the function of setting up a board bridge to charge directly is abolished, but the effect of putting arrows on the arrow tower to suppress the enemy army is still there.

As the arrow tower approached, the rebels who had originally retreated from the city ran up again and fired at the Jinchuan army on the arrow tower.

The Jinchuan army did not go all out to attack the city, now it is only using siege equipment, and the brigade has not directly participated in the battle, but even so, the momentum of the siege should not be underestimated, the huge destructive power of the stone thrower smashed the Jincheng city wall to scarred, and the arrow shooting on the arrow tower also made the rebels on the city head fall to the ground from time to time.

After the two sides fought for an hour, Shangguan Xiu finally gave the order, and the whole army moved forward and stormed Jincheng.

Five battalions of the Jinchuan Army, listing five phalanxes, moved towards Jincheng in unison. Seeing that the main force of the Jinchuan army had begun to attack the city, and the number of rebels on the head of Jincheng was even larger, people twisted their bows and arrows one after another, and launched a salvo at the Jinchuan army formation.

"Top shield!

Under the command of the battalion commanders, the Jinchuan sergeants raised their shields high, and as far as the eye could see, the heads of the five phalanxes were like a huge steel shield.

The shield array is too perfect, and there will be gaps in the middle, and from time to time arrows pass through the gaps in the shields and fall into the camp of the Jinchuan army, and the cries of people hitting arrows are also one after another.

However, the personnel in front were shot and fell, and the personnel behind immediately filled the vacancy, and the camp of the whole army remained neat.

In a short time, the camp of the Jinchuan army had advanced to the front of the trench under the city of Jincheng, and the people put the ladder on the ditch, stepped on the ladder, crossed the trench, and launched a fierce attack on Jincheng. At this time, the power of the arrow tower gradually exerted, the archers of the Jinchuan army gathered on the arrow tower continued to release arrows to the city, and the rebels had to resist the strong charge of the Jinchuan army under the city, and the pressure doubled by resisting the arrows of the Jinchuan army on the arrow tower, and the casualties also rose in a straight line.

Seeing that the rebels had been suppressed by the Jinchuan army's rush attack, at this time, rockets flew down from the city, and the rockets were not fired at the Jinchuan army besieging the city, but at the trench.

As the rocket fell into the trench, all of a sudden, the trench was full of flames, igniting a raging fire.

Shangguan Xiu, who was watching the battle, frowned, and he suddenly remembered that there was fire oil near Jincheng, and it must have been the rebels who dumped a large amount of fire oil in the trench in advance to resist their own siege.

In this siege, he was planning to make a feint, but he didn't make a move, so he had to break through Jincheng in one go.

Seeing that the other party used a killer weapon, Shangguan Xiu shouted: "Mingjin, collect the troops!"

With the sound of Jin Ming, the soldiers of the Jinchuan Army who were attacking the city in front quickly retreated. The archers of the Jinchuan army still fired arrows on the arrow tower with all their might, shooting the rebels on the city, so that the rebels on the city could not go all out to pursue the retreating soldiers of their own side.

As soon as the soldiers of the Jinchuan army besieging the city withdrew, the stone throwers behind began to launch in unison, continuing to destroy the city defense of Jincheng from a long distance and killing and injuring the defenders on the city. The battle between the two sides lasted from morning to noon, and when the fire in the trench weakened, Shangguan Xiu again ordered the whole army to advance.

Seeing that the Jinchuan army's brigade rushed up again, the rebels at the head of the city hurriedly dumped barrels of fire oil from the ground, and after the fire oil flowed in the trench, rockets flew down from the city to stop the Jinchuan army's strong attack with a fire in the trench.

The Jinchuan army's attack was once again blocked by the fire oil in the trenches, and the whole army retreated. The two sides went back and forth and fought for a whole afternoon, until it was dark, and the offensive of the Jinchuan army came to an end, and the whole army retreated back to its own camp.

Shangguan Xiu completely regarded this siege battle as a drill battle for military training, and every advance and retreat was a rare opportunity for his own soldiers to hone their skills.

After returning to the Zhongjun tent, Shangguan Xiu had just sat down, Dong Zhe bowed his hand and said, "My lord, if nothing happens, Feihua Pavilion will come to steal the camp tonight!"

"Oh?" Shangguan Xiu looked at Dongzhe and asked with a smile, "Mr. Dongzhe thinks the rebels dare to go out of the city to fight?"

Dong Zhe Zhengse said: "After today's siege, Feihua Pavilion must also see that our army's siege equipment is too much of a threat to them, if it continues to fight like this, Jincheng will definitely not be able to hold on, so I judge that Feihua Pavilion will come to steal the camp tonight, their target may not be adults, but they will definitely find a way to destroy our army's siege equipment!"

It was also the first time that the whiteshirts had seen the tremendous power of the siege equipment, and the two things of the stone thrower and the arrow tower alone were enough for the defenders to be miserable. Because he is also from the Jianghu sect, what Feihua Pavilion thinks in his heart, Dongzhe can empathize.

The Jinchuan army was dispatched, and the Feihua Pavilion did not continue to set up an ambush in Heyunling, in order to avoid its edge, and felt that he could rely on the city defense of Jincheng and wait for work, but the Jianghu sect was a Jianghu sect after all, not a regular army, and the Feihua Pavilion definitely did not expect that the siege weapons brought by the Jinchuan army would be so powerful.

Whether or not it can successfully destroy the siege equipment of the Jinchuan army has become the key to the defense of the city of Feihua Pavilion. Dongzhe judged that they would definitely come to steal the camp and sabotage it.

After listening to Dong Zhe's words, Shangguan Xiu nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Dong Zhe's analysis was very reasonable. He turned his head to Luo Ren and said, "Ah Ren, I'm afraid that our army's camp will not be peaceful tonight, remind the brothers below to cheer up at night and be ready to deal with the rebels' stealing camp at any time!"

"Yes!

As soon as Luo Ren's words fell, Chang Feng took a step forward and intervened: "My lord, my subordinates are willing to go to the vigil!"

Shangguan Xiu's eyes turned, looked at Chang Feng, his face sank, and shouted, "Someone!"

As he spoke, two soldiers walked in from outside and said, "Your Excellency!"

"Pull Chang Feng out and take a hundred military sticks seriously!"

Hearing this, Chang Feng's face changed, and he said urgently: "My lord, ...... are you?"

"Do you know why I punished you?" Shangguan Xiu asked as he stared at Chang Feng.

"Yes...... Is it because his subordinates failed to win the first battle?"

"Pull it out!" Shangguan Xiu didn't bother to say more, and waved his hand to the two soldiers. The two walked to Chang Feng's left and right and dragged him out.
