Chapter 142
The directly subordinate army entered the Xishan Pass, and the advance was extremely smooth, without the resistance of a single soldier, Tang Yin was also ambitious, and said to the surrounding generals: "Today, our army will break through Fengyang City, and within ten days, take the entire territory of Xishan County." Although Xishan County is not the goal of our plan in advance, this county is a large grain-producing county in Mozambique, since we have pursued the enemy here, we will take it down easily, and in the future, it can also provide a lot of grain and grass for our army!"
"Haha-" All the generals laughed on their backs, and echoed: "The king is wise!"
"The king overestimated the Mo army! Take this county, why use ten days, my gale soldiers only walked and passed, and then took this county lightly and took the head of the thief!"
"Haha!" the wind general's bold words drew another burst of laughter.
At this time, a wind pawn came to report, saying that Shao Jun asked to see him. Tang Yin was only slightly stunned, and snorted: "The big war is coming, what does this rat do when he sees me?" After speaking, he looked around at the generals and asked, "Which general is willing to take the lead and capture Fengyang?"
"King, the last general is willing to be a pioneer!" With a loud shout, the war tiger carried the hammer out of the ranks, please go to war.
Before Tang Yin could speak, Li Sheng on the side stepped forward and said: "Kill chickens with a knife? General Zhanhu is the general of our army, a small city in Fengyang, and it is enough for the last general to go!"
Tang Yin smiled leisurely, nodded at Li Sheng, and said to Zhan Hu: "Zhan Hu, you still follow me to suppress the formation, and the first battle will be handed over to Li Sheng to fight!"
Li Sheng was a young general selected by Tang Yin when he issued a military order, and compared with the successful war tiger, he needed military exploits more to prove his value in the army.
Zhan Hu is not a stupid person, and Tang Yin has already said so, so he can't force it anymore, and intervenes and says: "The last general obeys orders!"
Tang Yin sent 20,000 soldiers to Li Sheng as his own vanguard army to take the lead in attacking Fengyang.
In the eyes of Tang Yin and the generals, the Mo army has been frightened by their own side, so many fortresses and checkpoints in the West Mountain Pass are not even guarded, and the defense of Fengyang City is not much stronger, although they dare not say that they can take it as soon as they go, but it is definitely no problem to take it lightly.
But when the Feng army approached Fengyang, they were all dumbfounded.
Fengyang is built in the West Mountain Pass, both sides are mountains, the city is sandwiched in the middle, the city wall is as high as ten meters away, this is nothing, the most important thing is that the canyon of the West Mountain Pass is not straight to the point, but curved, just about a hundred steps in front of Fengyang City, there is just a big bend, that is to say, the stone thrower and the city-breaking crossbow of the wind army can not directly attack Fengyang City, if you want to attack the city defense of Fengyang, you must cross this bend, close to the people's 100 steps, in addition, Fengyang is still built on a gentle slope, although the slope is not large, but for the siege personnel, it will also cause a certain amount of resistanceγ
After looking at the topography of Fengyang, Li Sheng, as a pioneer, couldn't help but gasp, what a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is blessed with unique blessings, the danger of this city is even above Tongmen and Baguan!
Seeing Li Sheng's solemn expression, the two corps commanders who came with him asked, "General Li, Fengyang is dangerous, can we still fight?"
Li Sheng came back to his senses, glanced at the two of them angrily, and said: "Even if Fengyang is the tiger's den in Longtan, today, we are bound to take this city!" After a pause, he shouted: "Pass my general, and the whole army will attack the city!"
Knock, knock knock - with Li Sheng's order, the drums of the wind army camp became loud, and in the valley, the drums became extremely loud, and the echo did not disperse for a long time. At the same time as the drums sounded, the two corps of the Wind Army slowly walked out from behind the bend and advanced straight to Fengyang City in front.
The range of the bow and arrow is 100 steps, and as the side defending the city, because of the advantage of height, the range is longer, it can be said that the wind army turned the corner, and as soon as it appeared, it had entered the range of Fengyang. However, the forward advance of the Feng army did not attract the arrows of the Mo army, and looking at the head of Fengyang City from afar, I only saw the flags that were planted, but I could not see the shadow of the Mo army.
Li Sheng, who was advancing with the army, was confused and couldn't figure out what was going on. It stands to reason that the Mo army's arrow shooting should have started a long time ago, but why did it not see any movement for a long time, and could not even see a ghost shadow, could it be that the Mo army in the city knew that it was invincible and had abandoned the city and fled? If so, it would be too boring for the vanguard officer to do so.
He pondered in his heart, and before he knew it, the Feng army at the front had approached Fengyang fifty paces.
At this moment, people suddenly heard a dull buzzing sound above their heads, and the wind soldiers subconsciously raised their eyes to look up, only to see a huge black shadow flying down from the sky, and before people could figure out what it was, the huge black shadow had been pressed in the wind army camp.
In the ear chakra, a muffled sound was heard, and the three wind soldiers who were smashed by the black shadow did not say a word, and turned into meat pies on the spot, and the blood burst out in a large area, and it was only at this time that people could see clearly that what fell from the air was a round boulder.
The boulder did not stop after falling, with the inertia of flying down and the gentle slope outside Fengyang City, the boulder continued to roll forward, and the wind sergeant standing in front of the boulder just wanted to dodge, but it was too late, the boulder ruthlessly crushed over their bodies, and for a while, the screams and exclamations of the wind army were one together.
This is just the beginning, with a burst of buzzing, Fengyang City continued to soar round boulders, flying over the city wall, and smashed towards the Feng Army camp, this is not counting, Fengyang City's head whistle sounded, and countless Mo troops stood up after the arrow battlements, aiming at the outside of the city, and the arrows were fired in unison.
In just an instant, the wind army camp of the two corps was beaten into a mess, and the boulders falling from the sky bloomed everywhere in the wind army camp, mercilessly crushing the wind army soldiers, and people finally dodged the rolling boulders, and were shot right by the dense arrows.
The soldiers of the Wind Army fell to the ground in droves, and the whole camp was full of corpses that had been shot into hedgehogs and severed limbs and arms that had been crushed to a bloody blur, and the men's wails and screams were heard one after another, and the situation was unbearable.
Oops! The Mo army did not abandon the city, but had already prepared for its own attack! Li Sheng immediately fired arrows to avoid falling rocks, and at the same time gave an order: "The whole army is in formation, release arrows and shoot back! Then let the rear army carry all the stone throwers and city-breaking crossbows, and smash Fengyang's city defense for me!"
It's easy for him to say, but where else can the Wind Army line up at this time?
The boulders thrown out of Fengyang City are the biggest threat to the wind army's array, the boulders that weigh hundreds of kilograms are not at all able to resist by the shield array, once they are hit and crushed, the wind soldiers and men are flattened together with the shield, the most important point of the array is to keep the overall formation intact, a loophole appears, it may suffer from the enemy's concentrated arrow shooting, not to mention that under the attack of the boulder, the wind army camp is full of loopholes, and the wind army concentrated in the array will only become the target of the Mo army in the city.
In addition, the stone thrower and city-breaking crossbow pushed out by the wind army are not much better, the Mo army on Fengyang City can shoot the arrows directly, without waiting for the stone thrower and city-breaking crossbow of the wind army to launch, the surrounding wind soldiers were shot clean first, and there are also a large number of rockets on the shelves of the stone-throwing machine and the city-breaking crossbow, as long as a few rockets are hit, a stone-throwing machine or city-breaking crossbow will be burned in an instant, and the wind soldiers are too late to rescue them in the rain of arrows.
Under the leadership of Li Sheng, the two corps of the directly subordinate army, not to mention that they can't launch any offensive against Fengyang, and even self-protection is a problem, in this case, if someone else else has already ordered the withdrawal of the army, this battle can't be fought at all, but Li Sheng is not reconciled, he finally found an opportunity to make a contribution, if he was repelled by the enemy without even touching the edge of the city, what face did he have to go back to the king?
At the critical moment, Li Sheng temporarily organized a group of death squads, and personally led more than a dozen spiritual cultivators and more than a thousand elites of the wind army to launch a strong attack on Fengyang City, intending to tear a hole in the opponent's defense line.
With shields in one hand and swords and swords in the other, they swooped forward, dodging falling boulders and blocking flying arrows.
Soon, the Mo army at the head of the city also discovered this small wind army that was frantically advancing forward, and they naturally became the target of the Mo army's concentrated attack.
Above the city, the arrows that flew towards them were as dense as raindrops, and even if the soldiers of the Wind Army held shields to block, from time to time someone fell to the ground with arrows, in this case, once they fell to the ground, they could not get up again, and the dense array of arrows would mercilessly cover them.
What a fierce arrow shot! Li Sheng secretly exclaimed as he charged, where was this the Mo army that he had encountered two or three days ago, it was simply a regular central army of a country! The oncoming rain of arrows made him have no extra energy to think about it, and at this time he was bent on rushing to the foot of Fengyang City, and then climbing up to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Li Sheng's spiritual martial arts are good, but under the continuous arrow shooting, the spiritual armor on his body can't stand it. When he rushed to less than thirty steps away from Fengyang City, the spirit armor on his body had been shot by arrows many times, and it was densely covered with cracks, which could be completely shattered at any time.
He still wanted to continue to rush forward, but at this time, the two corps commanders who followed him in the charge both stepped forward and shouted: "General Li, the enemy's arrow array is fierce, we can't stand it, hurry up and retreat!"
Li Sheng held his shield aloft, turned his head and shouted angrily: "Don't retreat! You wait with me to rush to the top of the city and kill the enemy!"
"General Li, the brothers are almost dead, why do you rush to the city! General Li, withdraw first!" a corps commander shouted.
Li Sheng fixed his eyes and saw that behind him, there were only more than 100 people left, and there were corpses on the ground, and most of the death squads of thousands of people had been shot by the arrow array of the Mo army, including those soldiers who were running with ladders.
Seeing this, Li Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and before he could make a decision on whether to attack or retreat, a sharp arrow that flew down hit his left shoulder.
This arrow became the last straw that crushed the camel, and the spirit armor on Li Sheng's body could no longer bear it, and with a crisp click, the spirit armor on his left shoulder shattered in response, and the arrow was deeply inserted into his flesh.
