Volume III, Chapter 669

Lin Haotian shouted, rolled sideways at his speed, and flashed out of the opponent's attack range, but the red general with the hammer arrived again, and the huge hammer head hung in the air with a piercing wind, whistling and smashing towards Lin Haotian's head.

At this time, he had no room to dodge, so he could only parry with a horizontal sword, but he was not a horizontal horizontal sword, and the twenty sword bodies were tilted, which implied outward dissipation, but even so, the opponent's heavy hammer still shook Lin Haotian and crushed the two city bricks under him.

The red general did not relent, and another heavy blow was immediately followed by the hammer.

This time, Lin Haotian no longer had a hard time with him, and his body slanted out, and the moment he jumped away, he heard a muffled boom, and the city bricks on the ground were smashed out of a big pit by the other party.

Before he could stand on his feet, he shot diagonally past the steel arrow and flew again, hitting him right in the shoulder.

The power of this arrow was extremely great, and the cultivation of the person who shot the arrow was also very good, and the arrow blade penetrated the armor on Lin Haotian's shoulder and nailed deep into his flesh and skin.

Affected by the momentum of this arrow, Lin Haotian sat on the ground, and the red soldiers and generals around him were overjoyed when they saw this, and they came over, and one of the underworld warriors hugged him from behind Lin Haotian, and while bearing the burning of the dark fire, he shouted: "Kill him!"

This underworld warrior's cultivation is also profound, but under the burning of the red flames, the armor on his body is rapidly vaporizing, and it seems that it will not last long.

The red general who made the hammer roared, raised the sledgehammer in his hand, aimed it at Lin Haotian's Heavenly Spirit Gai, and smashed it down with all his might.

At the critical moment, Lin Haotian also exerted all his strength, he violently shook his body, bounced away the underworld martial artist who was hugging him behind his back, and then, the body sitting on the ground shot straight forward. Dodging the red general's hammer as he slammed headfirst into his arms.

Na Chi General was obviously unprepared, and under the force of Lin Haotian's impact, his body leaned back, and he retreated three steps backwards, and Lin Haotian did not hesitate for a moment. Immediately he stepped forward again, and at the same time, he pulled out the long sword from his shoulder and thrust it into the face of the red general.

I only heard a thud, and the long sword with Lin Haotian's blood was stuck in the left eye of the red general, and the arrow blade poked out directly from the back of his head.

The red general didn't say a word, and was killed on the spot, and the sledgehammer in his hand made a muffled sound when it landed.

Lin Haotian did not let go of the corpse of the red general and used it on the spot. Using his corpse as a shield, he pushed the crowd of red soldiers rushing forward.

With a burst of screams, dozens of red soldiers were knocked back again and again, the people in front were nothing, but the unlucky ones behind were those red soldiers, who were forced to squeeze off the city wall, and fell down one by one screaming.

When Lin Haotian was still planning to continue to use the corpse of the red general, three steel arrows were shot from it in a row. All of them were nailed to the back of the corpse, and the powerful steel arrow pierced through the corpse. It was almost nailed to Lin Haotian's eyebrows, and the arrow was only two fingers wide from his forehead.

Lin Haotian suddenly roared, grabbed the corpse with one hand, and threw it towards the inner city wall on the opposite side with all his might.

The distance between the inner and outer walls is six or seven meters away, and the inner city wall is more than three meters higher than the outer city wall, but such a long distance. The corpse of more than 200 catties was thrown from the bottom to the top, and it was thrown by Lin Haotian with one hand, and it can be seen from his amazing explosive power.

The corpses thrown over did not pose a threat to those steel archers on the inner city wall, and Lin Haotian's actions were completely to vent his hatred.

Looking at the bloody corpses of the Fang brothers who had crashed into the arrow stack. The faces of the steel archers became more and more ugly, and the teeth of the people were clucking, looking down at Lin Haotian on the outer city wall, and the anger in their eyes seemed to be about to devour him alive.

Everyone drew their bows and arrows together, but they didn't shoot blindly in anger, and they saw the opportunity to shoot an arrow.

In fact, what could really pose a threat to Lin Haotian was the steel archers on the inner city wall, and the cold arrows they shot were even Lin Haotian who felt invincible.

After Lin Haotian rushed to the outer city wall, he fought a fierce battle single-handedly for more than an hour, but he tightly caused some trouble for the Red Army's city defense, and did not disrupt the Red Army's city defense, and the Jin Army outside the city still couldn't attack.

After fighting so far, Lin Haotian has also been exhausted, his armor is broken in many places, and there are also arrow wounds on his shoulder, under his ribs and thigh, although he can continue to fight, but the more he fights, the less confident he becomes.

On the other hand, the Red Army around him still has a large number of generals, and there are also a large number of uncountable underworld warriors among them.

I feel that if I continue to fight like this, not only will I not be able to break up the enemy's city defense, but I will be exhausted to death, and besides, the purpose of this battle has been achieved, and there is no need to make senseless entanglements with the enemy. Thinking of this, he had the idea of retiring in his heart, and suddenly took out several swords, forcing the red soldiers around him to retreat without leaving a trace.

The Red Army at the scene may be confused by the authorities and can't see Lin Haotian's intentions, but the steel archers on the inner city wall are condescending and can see it clearly, and people immediately realize that they want to retreat, and they all shoot steel arrows at Lin Haotian continuously.

No matter how fast Lin Haotian's sword is, it is impossible to block all of the steel arrows. He also reacted quickly, rolled sideways on a wheel, rolled directly into the crowd of the Red Army, grabbed a Red soldier, pulled him back in front of him, and let him be his shield.

"Smack, smack, smack!"

More than a dozen steel arrows were all nailed to the red soldier's body, and the armor made of stainless steel was like paper paste in front of the steel arrows, and each steel arrow easily pierced through the front and back layers of armor, and the arrow blade poked out from his back.

With the inertia of more than a dozen steel arrows, Lin Haotian and the corpses of the red soldiers flew out backwards together, crossed the arrow battlements, and both fell down the city wall.

"Plop!"

In the moment before he landed, he also deliberately pushed the corpse of the red soldier away, for fear that the steel arrow on his body would accidentally hurt him.

Falling from the city wall three zhang away, the strength should not be underestimated, even if Lin Haotian had armor to protect his body, he was also shocked and dizzy at this time.

Before he could stand up, the soldiers of the Jin Army under the city had already swarmed forward, dragging Lin Haotian back again and again, until they retreated behind the shield array of the Jin Army, and they let go one after another.

I saw that the armor on Lin Haotian's body had been broken in several places, and blood was still flowing in some places. The hearts of the soldiers of the Jin Army trembled, and they all asked with concern: "How is your lordship?

Lin Haotian took a few deep breaths, then shook his head, feeling a little sober, he waved his hand to everyone, and said, "I'm fine, you immediately go to the various armies to pass on my orders." Our army temporarily withdrew its troops and attacked again at a later date. ”

When he rushed to the city, he was beaten so badly by the enemy that even if his brothers could rush up, they probably wouldn't be able to get a bargain.

The city defense of Guankou City is beyond imagination, and the party must think long-term and redeploy, and blindly fighting like this will only increase casualties.

Personally participated in siege warfare. Lin Haotian also deeply realized the strength of the city defense of the pass. Under his instructions, all the armies of the Jin army besieging the city retreated, and it didn't take long, and only the mess outside the pass was left.

Today's siege battle, the two sides did not fight for a long time, but it was a fierce offensive of the Jin army, not only Lin Haotian participated in the battle, but also Zhang Bufan, Ling Wuya, Guan He and other fierce generals also rushed to the battlefield to fight. It's just that the Jin army, which used all its might, still failed to shake the city defense of Guankou City.

After returning to the barracks. The medical officers immediately bandaged the wounds on Lin Haotian's body, and he sat on the couch and closed his eyes in meditation.

In the battle just now, there were not a few red soldiers and red generals who were sucked by him, and in these red soldiers, they could grasp a lot of information in the pass city. Wait for the doctors to finish bandaging his wounds. Lin Haotian also slowly opened his eyes, his brows were tightly locked, and he was silent in thought.

Golden Battalion, Chinese Military Tent.

In this siege battle, not only Lin Haotian was injured. Many generals in the Jin army also hung up their colors, including Shang Zhang Bufan and Ling Wuya.

At this time, all the generals gathered in the Chinese military tent, but the scene was silent, silent and oppressive.

"My lord" With the sound of the guards singing, Lin Haotian walked in from outside, and all the generals stood up one after another, intervened in the salute, and said in unison: "My lord!"

Lin Haotian waved his hand slightly to everyone, and then Luo Lan supported him, and slowly sat down behind the handsome case, he first glanced around at everyone and asked, "What do you think of today's battle? What about the city defense of Guankou City?"

Zhang Bufan and Ling Wuya glanced at each other, lowered their heads, and remained silent.

Although both of them attacked the city, like Lin Haotian, they were finally defeated by the Red Army, and the two naturally felt ashamed of this.

Guan He scratched his cheeks and said in a deep voice: "The city defense of the Red Army is too strong, and the last general will follow the army to attack, and he didn't even touch the edge of the city, and he rushed back several times."

Lin Haotian took a deep breath and said: "The Red Army's city defense is indeed very strong, with two layers of inner and outer walls, man-made natural dangers are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Red Army's city defense resource reserves are also very troublesome. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Guan He had a deep understanding, and he continued: "The Red Army's city defense resources seem to be useless no matter how they are used, arrows are lost, stone bullets, rolling wood, stones, and fire oil are desperately thrown away, plus the Red Army wears stainless steel armor, and there are so many rangers among them, it is too difficult for our army to attack it." ”

Lin Haotian nodded, if he hadn't personally participated in the battle, he would have thought that Guan He said that these were all excuses for Tang Sai, but in fact, as Guan He said, it was far more difficult to conquer this inconspicuous pass city than he had imagined.

He glanced sideways at Roland beside him and beckoned to her. The latter understood, and hurriedly pulled out a roll of paper from his sleeve.

Lin Haotian raised his head and motioned for her to be circulated by everyone, and Roland answered, handing the paper roll to Ding Feng first.

Lin Haotian explained: "This is the topographic map I just drew in the pass city, let's take a look at it first!"

Yo! This is important information! Everyone's eyes lit up at the same time, and they stretched their necks one after another to look at the paper scroll in Ding Feng's hand.

I saw Ding Feng unfold the paper scroll, looked down carefully, took a look, and saw that the generals present were looking at him, he beckoned to everyone: "Let's take a look!"

Everyone left their seats one after another and gathered around Ding Feng. The so-called topographic map is very simple, the city wall is a line, and many circles have been drawn in the city, and none of the circles have been marked by Lin Haotian.

Among them, the large circle is in the center of the city, and Lin Haotian deliberately thickened the circle here when drawing, and marked the words 'City Lord's Mansion'.

When the generals were paying attention, Lin Haotian explained: "According to the information I have obtained, all the grain and grass in Guankou City and the city defense resources are stored in the City Lord's Mansion, what do you think?"

Hearing this, people frowned.

Ding Feng asked cautiously, "My lord." The last general took the liberty to ask, how big is the City Lord's Mansion in Guankou City?"

Lin Haotian said expressionlessly: "The pass is just a small city, how big can the City Lord's Mansion be? Compared to the City Lord's Mansion in other places, I'm afraid it's even smaller. ”

Ding Feng smiled bitterly: "The specifications of the City Lord's Mansion are not large, and the City Lord's Mansion in Guankou City is even smaller than the normal specifications, how can it be possible to hoard so much grain, grass and materials?

Lin Haotian said indifferently: "You should understand. There is absolutely no mistake in the information I have received. "How can this information be fake, but not through the confessions of the enemy soldiers, but directly from the memories of the enemy soldiers who were smoked by him?

Of course, how could a small city lord's mansion be able to hoard the grain and grass of a hundred thousand troops and the city defense resources of the entire Guankou City? This was also something that Lin Haotian couldn't understand, and through the memories of those Red Army soldiers, he couldn't find the answer at all.

"In that case, Sekiguchi City is too weird. Ding Feng muttered as he shook his head.

I thought about it for a long time. Lu Kai opened his mouth and asked, "My lord, are there any signs of a shortage of rolling logs, rocks, and arrows in Pass City?"

Lin Haotian shook his head and said: "It's abundant, at least that's what Zhang Murong, the county guard of Yankou County, said, and he sent an order to the whole army, there is no need to save when defending the city, even if it is consumed day and night." The city defense resources of Guankou City are also enough to last for several months or even years. ”

"How is that possible?" Lu Kai and the other generals looked at each other in disbelief.

"It's incredible. There are still a lot of living creatures in the city lord's mansion, and the various corps of the Red Army can eat meat and vegetables and drink broth almost every day, and the food is even better than that of our army!"

Lin Haotian is happy, it is happy, could it be that the City Lord's Mansion in Guankou City is still a Qiankun bag? Is there a hole in it? It's a pity. The Red Soldiers and Red Generals who were ingested by him were not of sufficient level to enter the interior of the City Lord's Mansion, and he couldn't understand what was going on inside.

"My lord, it seems that the Red Army is really fully prepared to fight a protracted and fierce battle with our army in Guankou City. ”

"yes! The Red Army can afford to drag it out, but our army can't afford to drag it out, and the situation in the secret area must be calmed down as much as possible no matter what, and there can be no remnants of the Red Army. Lin Haotian clenched his fists and said: "My idea is this, since the Red Army has pushed all the grain, grass and materials in the City Lord's Mansion, and Guankou City is a small city, can our army arrange a stone thrower under the city and use the stone bullets of the stone thrower to directly smash the City Lord's Mansion!"

When people heard this, their glasses lit up at first, and then they all shook their heads, thinking that this was not realistic. First of all, the stone bullets of your own army can be used up, and secondly, it is also an important point, even if the pass is a small city, if you want to use the stone throwing machine to directly smash the city lord's mansion in the center of the city, the stone throwing machine must at least advance to the vicinity of the city wall of the pass city.

At such a close distance, the defenders' arrow array can cover their own catapults, and if they use rockets again, then they will have to destroy as many catapults as they advance, and there is no possibility that they will be able to gain a firm foothold, let alone launch stone projectiles.

Seeing that the generals shook their heads, Lin Haotian cheered up and said, "Whether it can succeed or not, you should give it a try first!"

"But my lord, our army's stone bullets have been exhausted in the siege battle a few days ago," Guan He replied embarrassedly.

"Our army's live ammunition is gone, you can go to the battlefield to collect the stone bullets from the Red Army, besides, not far from our army's camp are Makuno Mountain and Heitou Mountain, can't you organize your brothers to collect them on the spot? Don't make excuses with me, go and do it immediately!"

Guan He was reprimanded by Lin Haotian and nodded again and again, and didn't dare to say more.

Ding Feng, Lu Kai and the others thought about it seriously, and now it seems that they can only do this, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, even if they destroy all their own stone throwers, they can only destroy the city lord's mansion at the pass, and the next battle will be easy.

When Lin Haotian was about to break up the account, Guan He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you gotten any news about the bushman in the Red Army?"

"Poof!"

Lin Haotian smiled, shook his head and said: "The generals of the Red Army have only heard of this shrub man, but have not seen him, I'm afraid, there is no such person as a shrub, it's just the pseudonym of a disgraceful person!"

Guan He blinked his eyes and asked in a condensed voice, "Who do you think this person will be?"

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "It can be any one or a group of people who can't get along with my Dajin, it doesn't matter who he is, what matters now is to give me all the way to break through the pass city!"

The battle against the Red War has been delayed for too long, and Lin Haotian doesn't want to spend any longer, if he can't defeat the pass city for a long time, the hundreds of thousands of red troops on the border of the Red Kingdom will not be able to defend in the territory of the Red Country, and I am afraid that they will counterattack into the Red Land at any time and seize the strategic place of Pass City.

According to Lin Haotian's orders, the soldiers of the Jin Army collected stone bullets on the battlefield, and a large number of soldiers went to Makuno Mountain and Heitou Mountain separately to collect mountain stones and make stone bullets.

During this time, the Jin army gave up the siege, and all the soldiers of the army rested in the barracks.

The Jin army's scouts were not idle, and often bypassed the pass city and sneaked to the junction of Chidi and Chiguo to monitor the movements of the Red Army.

In the past few days, Lin Haotian and the Jin generals have also done several detailed studies on the internal topographic map of Guankou City, but they can't find anything out of the ordinary.

To put it bluntly, the city is a large military fortress, and there are no civilians in it. There are no households, all of them are military camps, and the one who lives in the city lord's mansion on weekdays is the general who commands the army, but now it is replaced by the county guard Zhang Murong who lives in it.

Since Zhang Murong moved in, the City Lord's Mansion has become extremely strict, except for a few of Zhang Murong's cronies, others can't enter the City Lord's Mansion at all.

Lin Haotian could be 100% sure that there must be something strange in the City Lord's Mansion, but he couldn't know where the strange thing was, and after thinking about it, he still felt that it was also directly effective to directly smash the City Lord's Mansion to save his mind.

Of course, it was also very difficult to do so, and how to push the stone thrower near the city wall and withstand the arrow array of the Red Army became a headache for him. (To be continued......)
