Chapter 289: Precarious

After the first wave of arrows of the Songhu Army was shot, the soldiers were not very sure, but they shot randomly in the direction of Su Zhirou's finger, but they didn't expect to really shoot a lot of enemies, and all the soldiers were surprised and happy.

Su Zhirou was worried in her heart, after the enemy appeared, although the night was hazy, with keen observation, Su Zhirou still saw that there were nearly a thousand opponents, and all of them were fast, obviously all of them were good martial arts players.

The total attack on the tower of the West Gate City is only more than 3,000 troops, and the real martial arts master is only Su Zhirou, and the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, even if it relies on the well-trained defense system of the Songhu Legion, it is difficult to prevent the approach of the opponent's martial arts masters.

The ensuing battle situation was as Su Zhirou expected, after Zhilu Dao Xingzang had been exposed, Hui Yinghong's subordinates simply showed their figures, and began to slowly approach the city tower under the cover of the shield in their hands.

Although there was a constant rain of arrows on the city tower, most of these ** were holding shields, and they were all martial arts experts, and some people quickly rushed to the west gate.

Su Zhirou immediately commanded the soldiers of the Songhu Legion to release rolling wood and flying stones, and with skillful and efficient defensive coordination, they finally temporarily retreated the enemy's wave of advance and attack.

Hui Yinghong was not discouraged, she ordered her subordinates to spread out as much as possible, make the most of the night to avoid the rain of flying stones and arrows of the defenders, and wait until they approached the city tower before using a special hook to climb the city tower. Since the walls of the West City are not too high, many siege martial arts masters quickly climbed the castle tower with the help of special hooks.

While commanding the soldiers to kill the enemy, Su Zhirou sent her subordinates back to the capital to ask for help. Fortunately, the number of enemy troops who broke through the arrows and flying stones first was not large, and even if they climbed the tower, it was difficult to move under the pressure of the Songhu Army's Optimus Prime defensive formation, and they were soon defeated by all the soldiers in unison.

After two consecutive rounds of tentative attacks were frustrated, Hui Yinghong's side had lost nearly two hundred people, but it had also been seen that although the defensive forces here were as efficient and rigorous as those at the South Gate, they obviously lacked martial arts masters to suppress the formation, and the number was indeed small, and it was still a little difficult to repel their own attacks.

Hui Yinghong discussed with Qingcheng Sanjie and decided to attack the city in person, she asked You Tianhua: "Can you let the two high monks of Puhua and Pushan attack the city with us?"

You Tianhua made a few gestures to the two monks, and the two monks nodded and responded with a few gestures. You Tianhua said to Hui Yinghong: "The two senior monks are willing to attack the city with us, but they are unwilling to kill. ”

Hui Yinghong frowned slightly, and then said: "It's okay not to kill, as long as they are responsible for opening the city gate." It seems that there are not many martial arts masters on the castle tower, and a few of us are enough to deal with it. ”

After discussion, they decided to let Xie Tianping, one of the three heroes of Qingcheng, stay in place to command and dispatch, Hui Yinghong, You Tianhua, Xiong Tianying, plus Pushan and Puhua The two monks led two hundred elite masters to attack the city tower first, and after Pushan and Puhua let go of the city gate, Xie Tianping led the remaining men to attack from the city gate. Then Hui Yinghong and others rushed forward first.

Su Zhirou on the city tower saw that the enemy's third wave of offensive had changed again, although only about two hundred people rushed up, but the strength of this group of people was obviously higher, especially the five people who rushed to the front were extremely fast, even if it was a continuous bow and arrow flying stone block, it was difficult to stop the speed of these five people.

Su Zhirou shouted: "The other party has a master coming up, the infantry battalion should pay attention to using the Optimus Prime Defensive Formation to protect our archers and flying stone rollers, try to use the strength of the formation, and don't fight directly with the opponent!"

Although the Songhu Legion defending the city quickly adjusted its attack target and aimed the arrows and flying stones at those siege masters behind Hui Yinghong You Tianhua, this group of people was the elite of the siege team that night, and their martial arts strength was extraordinary, not only did they move quickly, but they also had shields in their hands, so it was difficult to cause them too much damage. And Hui Yinghong, You Tianhua and others quickly took the lead in coming to the city and began to climb the city tower with their superb strength.

Su Zhirou knew that it was difficult for her subordinates to stop these five martial arts masters, so she immediately drew her sword in her hand, and saw that a thin female general in the lead was about to climb the city tower, and swung her sword out in the head, taking advantage of the fact that the female general was climbing on the hook and could not parry, hoping to shoot it down.

This female general is Hui Yinghong, she was about to climb the city tower, suddenly felt a strong wind on her head, knowing that there was a master to intercept her, she hurriedly kicked her feet on the city wall, and swung her body away with the help of the hook in her hand.

Su Zhirou saw that Hui Yinghong saw the opportunity quickly, and was about to change her move and swing her sword to cut off the hook in Hui Yinghong's hand, but Pushan, who was closely behind Hui Yinghong, had already arrived first and climbed the city wall first.

Pushan saw that the hook that hung Hui Yinghong would be very dangerous if it was cut off by Su Zhirou, so he immediately waved his palm and slapped it, his powerful Vajra palm was the mastery of Huguo Temple, and it just happened to hit the spine of the sword when Su Zhirou's long sword was cut down.

Su Zhirou only felt a sharp shock in her palm, and the sword that seemed to be bound to hit was deflected by three inches, and she couldn't help but be surprised. Before she could continue to change her moves, Hui Yinghong had already taken advantage of the situation to jump onto the tower.

Su Zhirou couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart when she saw that the thin female general who jumped up to the city tower was extremely fast, it was estimated that this person was the main general of the Yinyan Legion, Hui Yinghong, and the palm that the monk sent out just now was even more powerful, shocking her palms faintly numb, obviously Zhenyuan cultivation is not trivial.

At this time, Su Zhirou also understood that the situation was extremely critical, and the female monk in front of her alone was already difficult to resist, not to mention that there were three other masters who had also jumped up to the city tower one after another. Su Zhirou's long sword pointed at Pushan and shouted: "Where are you monks from, why did you come here to attack our Songhu City?"

Of course, Pushan was deaf and dumb and couldn't answer, Hui Yinghong stepped forward and said: "This master is the master of Pushan among the famous deaf and dumb monks of Huguo Temple, who are you, why are there really a lot of female generals in Songhu City?"

Su Zhirou is a nameless proud disciple of Ruyi Sect, and knows a little about today's martial arts masters, and has also heard of the name of the deaf and dumb two monks in the Huguo Temple.

Su Zhirou couldn't help but be even more frightened in her heart, she couldn't imagine that there were such characters in Hui Hongying's Silver Yan Legion. She shouted: "I am Su Zhirou, the temporary commander here, presumably you are Hui Hongying?"

Hui Yinghong had never heard of Su Zhirou's name, although she felt that her swordsmanship was not weak, but she expected that she was enough to deal with it, she said to You Tianhua: "You go to deal with those archers and flying stones and rolling woods, let the two masters go to the city downstairs to open the door, and I will deal with this female general." ”

You Tianhua immediately made a few gestures to Pushan Puhua, and the two monks immediately ran towards the exit of the city tower.

Su Zhirou couldn't help but be very anxious when she heard that they were going to open the city gate, and hurriedly swung her sword to stop her, but as soon as she started, Hui Yinghong had already drawn her sword and stopped in front of her. Both of them are kendo masters, and when they launch, their hands are full of sword qi, and neither can quickly suppress the other.

The cultivation strength of the two monks Pushan and Puhua is still above Hui Yinghong, and no one can stop them on the city tower, and the defenders of the Songhu Legion have staggered everywhere they went, but fortunately, these two monks did not kill, and they still had a sense of proportion in their hands, but they were quickly rushed to the bottom of the city tower.

You Tianhua and Xiong Tianying were killing those archers and flying stone rolling woodmen, the strength of these two Qingcheng masters was much weaker than Hui Yinghong and Pushan Puhua, and the Optimus Pillar defensive formation of the Songhu Infantry Battalion was not progressing quickly, and for a while, they could not directly kill those archers on the city tower.

Hui Yinghong and Su Zhirou are both fast and fast, trying to knock out their opponents in the shortest possible time so that they can support their men. However, there is not much difference in the strength of the two, and it is difficult for anyone to succeed quickly in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of moves have passed, and both of them admire the strength of their opponents in their hearts.

Especially Hui Yinghong, she has been famous for many years, known as the first master of the Emei faction today, and can rank in the top 30 on the list.

Fortunately, Hui Yinghong's actual combat experience is extremely rich, and out of the corner of his eye, he can already see that his subordinates on the city tower are gradually increasing, and more and more disciples of the two factions of Emei and Qingcheng have climbed the city wall. Although the defenders of the Songhu Legion were superior in numbers and had an excellent defensive formation, they were still unable to resist the attack of this group of martial arts masters, and they were being killed and staggered and retreated.

Hui Hongying immediately relieved herself when she saw that her own situation was superior, and gradually spread the essence of Emei's swordsmanship little by little, and started a vicious battle with Su Zhirou. Her cultivation in Zhenyuan and Kendo was slightly stronger than Su Zhirou, and once she devoted herself to it, she immediately gained the upper hand.

Although Su Zhirou's strength has improved greatly since she practiced the Yuan Demon God of Shiziling, she is still slightly inferior to Hui Hongying in terms of True Yuan cultivation. After the continuous confrontation did not take the slightest advantage, she suddenly saw that Hui Hongying's swordsmanship had become dignified and thick, Su Zhirou suddenly felt a sharp increase in pressure, and understood that Hui Yinghong really lived up to her reputation, so she had no choice but to expand the Yin and Yang Five Elements Swordsmanship of the master and support it hard.

It's just that she is extremely anxious in her heart, the situation up and down the West Gate Tower in front of her is precarious, if You Tianhua and Xiong Tianying and others are allowed to attack, the archers and flying stone men on the city tower will soon be killed, so that there will be more follow-up siege teams to climb the city tower. If you wait until the gates are opened, you will be even more unable to resist the enemy's attack.

But the more anxious Su Zhirou's heart became, the greater the pressure on her hands, and it became more and more difficult to deal with it under Hui Yinghong's step-by-step pressure, so she had no choice but to retreat again and again.
