Wu Nian looked at the Xijing City in the distance and said to Shangguan Xiu: "My lord, it seems that Shi Kaiwen has made up his mind to fight us to the death." ā€

"Hmph!" Shangguan Xiu sneered and said, "Shi Kaiwen thinks that the defense of Xijing City is strong, and my Zhenxi Army and the Central Army can't defeat it together, I want to see how strong Xijing's city defense is!" As he spoke, he raised his head and said, "Yifu." ā€

"The last general!" An Yifu intervened.

"Send the order down, the whole army will attack the city, and also, release wolf smoke and inform the county lord that we are ready to attack the city. "Now Tang Wanyun has merged with the Central Army and is sitting in the corps of the Central Army.

"Understood!" An Yifu agreed, conveying Shangguan Xiu's order.

The Zhenxi army pushed the siege weapons and advanced slowly, and when the Zhenxi army was only two hundred steps away from Xijing, the army stopped, and then the soldiers began to set up stone throwers to launch a long-range attack on Xijing.

In this battle with the rebels, the Zhenxi army moved out all the family assets, and the stone throwers alone brought more than 100 planes, and now they are lined up in a long column, firing stone projectiles at Xijing City.

Stone bullets hit the city wall, and loud rumbling noises came and went.

Under the long-range attack of the stone thrower, the walls of Xijing City were also full of smoke.

After hitting continuously for about half an hour, Shangguan Xiu saw that his stone bullets had almost been consumed, he pulled out his saber, swung it forward, and shouted loudly: "The whole army is attacking!" The latest chapter of the Black Rock Pavilion has been updated

With his order, three corps of the Zhenxi Army took the lead in the battle, and the soldiers lined up in a neat phalanx and advanced. Shangguan Xiu did not sit in the rear this time, but personally went to battle, commanding three corps to launch a fierce attack on Xijing.

When the Zhenxi army entered within a hundred steps of Xijing, a rain of arrows suddenly rose on the city head in front of it, and from a distance, the city head of Xijing seemed to pull up a huge black cloth, and the black cloth soared into the air, and drew a long arc from the air, hanging with a piercing whistling sound, and flew down.

"Defend against the enemy's arrow array, cloth shield array!" Shangguan Xiu shouted loudly at the same time, the spirit armor and the spirit of the soldier were completed at the same time, waving the spirit knife in his hand, and firing the arrows that flew down.

The soldiers of the Zhenxi army also raised their shields above their heads, and for a while, the top of the Zhenxi army's array was like a layer of copper and iron walls, and the arrow array flew down on it, and the impact sounded and sparks splashed everywhere.

Shangguan Xiu continued to use his sword, even if he used all his strength, after this round of terrifying arrow array, he still suffered three arrows on his body, but fortunately, he had a spirit armor to protect his body, and the arrows could not break his spirit armor.

Just after the first round of arrows, the second round of arrows of the rebels arrived. When the rain of arrows falls from the sky, it covers the sky and the sun, and being in it makes people feel that the sky is dark.

No matter how neatly the shield array of the Zhenxi Army was, under such a scale of arrow arrays, it could not block all the arrows.

In the process of people's advancement, from time to time, someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, and the soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers behind immediately stepped forward to fill it, keeping the shield array intact and minimizing the damage suffered by their own side.

After the phalanx of the Zhenxi Army moved over, the overall formation remained intact, but when you look at the ground, there are corpses with dense feathers on your body.

The arrow array was only the beginning of the rebels' counterattack, as the Zhenxi army outside the city got closer and closer, the stone throwing machine arranged in the city also began to start, throwing stone bullets over the city wall and throwing them into the camp of the Zhenxi army.

The shield array can block the arrow array, but it can't stop the stone bullets that fall from a high position, and each stone bullet smashed into the phalanx will attract a series of screams, and at least three or four soldiers will be affected by the stone bullets and be smashed to pieces. After the shield array breaks out of a hole, the arrow array will follow one after another, shooting the soldiers around the breach to the ground, if the soldiers behind fail to step forward in time to fill the hole in the shield array, the breach will only get bigger and bigger, and more and more comrades will be shot.

It can also be seen from the fierce counterattacks of the rebels wave after wave that Shi Kevin has already made a sufficient defense, and he dares to resist to the end under the attack of the Zhenxi Army and the Central Army, and he is not without support.

The three corps of the Zhenxi Army, while advancing, left corpses all over the ground, and before the two sides came into contact with each other, the scene was already extremely tragic.

An Yifu, who was supervising the battle in the future, saw that the resistance of the rebels was very strong, he frowned secretly, and transferred two more corps to reinforce his own troops attacking the city.

Shangguan Xiu led three corps to withstand the blows of the rebels' arrow arrays and stone throwers, and advanced to the foot of Xijing City, where the people spread the ladder on the moat, and then stepped on the ladder to charge forward. At this time, the arrows on the head of Xijing City were like raindrops, flying down from the sky, and countless soldiers were shot by arrows while running on the ladder, screaming and falling down, falling into the moat. In the blink of an eye, a layer of corpses was laid on the surface of the moat, and the blood stained the river red.

However, the Zhenxi army's arrow counterattack by the moat also caused casualties to the rebels at the head of the city, and the two sides continued to shoot arrows at each other, and screams rose and fell up and down the city. Shangguan Xiu held the spirit knife in his hand, while dialing the arrow, while following the cloud ladder arrow step through the moat, to the city wall, he just breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the evil wind on his head, he didn't have time to look up, instinctively pulled out to dodge, only to hear a boom, a huge stone fell from the city, did not hurt him, but smashed a Zhenxi soldier under the city into a pulp.

Shangguan Xiu secretly gritted his teeth, and saw that there were soldiers not far from him who had set up a ladder, and he climbed up among the soldiers. Arrows flew down overhead, and arrows from the left and right sides, and the soldiers who had climbed the ladder fell one after the other.

He raised his eyes and looked up, and at this moment, none of the seven or eight soldiers who rushed up before him survived, and all of them were shot down the ladder. Shangguan Xiu used his hands and feet at the same time, climbed up with all his strength, and then, arrows from all directions flew towards him.

Shangguan Xiu waved the spirit knife in his hand and blocked with all his might. One of the arrows was knocked down by the spirit knife, and his body was also hit by arrows from time to time, some arrows hit his spirit armor, breaking and falling, and some arrows hit the gaps in his spirit armor, shockingly inserted into his body.

But as if he didn't feel it, the speed of his climb was not affected in the slightest, and it didn't take long for the others to climb to the middle of the ladder. Just as he was about to climb up, one of the rebels was about to throw a stone on the top of the city.

But before the stone in his hand could be thrown, a cold arrow flew from the oblique stab, hitting the rebel in the neck. The rebels did not even scream, but fell head-on, and the high stone fell on his own head, crushing him with his helmet on his head.

As soon as the rebel fell, two other rebels rushed forward with stones held high, but they both followed in the footsteps of their companions, and were hit by cold arrows from the city, and both fell to the ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shangguan Xiu struggled to climb, and soon, he was close to the head of the city.

And at this moment, a large pot of boiling oil was poured on the city, Shangguan Xiu could see it clearly, he was shocked, and his body on the ladder flew out horizontally. The pot of fire oil poured on the head did not pour on him, but poured on several soldiers behind him, with a scream, the soldiers fell down the ladder one after another, after the landing, the pain was all over the ground rolling, wailing again and again, and then, a rocket flew down from the city, just listen to the sound of the roar, the oil burned, more than a dozen Zhenxi soldiers died tragically in the fire, and many soldiers were affected by the flames, all on fire, screaming and rushing into the moat, only in the blink of an eye, people disappeared in the river.

The cultivation of the Shangguan Xiu Spirit Divine Realm was suppressed by the rebels after only half of the first half of the city was attacked, and for other soldiers who did not know how to martial arts, the difficulty of attacking the city can be imagined.

As more and more troops were put into the Zhenxi army, the battle between the two sides was also in full swing and entered a white-hot level.

Shi Kevin was in the city gate tower, commanding the rebels to fight, at this time he had already covered the spirit armor, held the spirit soldiers in his hands, and constantly commanded the commanders and commanded the soldiers under his command to fight.

A rebel general hurriedly ran into the city gate, came to Shi Kevin's side, intervened in the salute, and said, "My lord, the central army has begun to attack the city in Dongcheng!"

A gleam flashed in Shi Kevin's eyes, and he asked, "Ah Hu, how is the situation in Dongcheng?"

"There are two generals Peng Ziqiao and Gao Yuan Shang in Dongcheng guarding the town, although the central army attacking the city has a lot of troops, but the battle formation is not neat, and the advance is relatively chaotic, it seems that the combat power is not strong!" said the general.

"Hmph!" the corners of Shi Kewen's mouth raised, snorted, and said: "This has long been my expectation, the imperial court can use the Central Army to bluff the incompetent rats like Jiang Lian and Di Qing, but it can't scare me! Only a legion that has been formed for less than a month, even if it has the armament of the Central Army, there is nothing to worry about, our real enemy is still the Zhenxi Army!" As he spoke, he said to the general in a deep voice: "Wei Hu!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"At present, the Zhenxi Army and the Central Army are attacking from Xicheng and Dongcheng respectively, but we also have to beware of their sneak attacks from the South City and the North City, you immediately take your brothers to inspect the South City and the North City, and once you find the enemy's situation, report it to me immediately!"

"Understood!" the general named Wei Hu agreed, saluted Shi Kewen again, and then hurried out of the city gate.

Shi Kewen looked at the Zhenxi army attacking the city outside the city, and he said coldly: "Shangguan Xiu, I see how your Zhenxi army, which is less than 100,000 people, can break Lao Tzu's Xijing City!"

As the Zhenxi army advanced to the head of the city more and more troops, the erection of the ladder gradually increased, the dense soldiers like ants, frantically climbed up the ladder, many soldiers have already killed the red eyes, take off the armor and jackets on their bodies, go into battle shirtless, with a sword in their mouths, and desperately attack the city.
