Volume 1: Revenge Chapter 129: A Bitter Battle
Not only An Shangwu killed the red eyes, all the border soldiers have been killed, none of them flinched, soon night fell, the three gates of the second city wall have all been breached, the soldiers of the South Wind Country poured into the city and started a fierce battle with the border army, for a time there were countless casualties, although the border soldiers were brave and good at fighting, but the enemy was too much, the other party was often four or five people to fight one, although someone could replace the other party before death, but more were hacked to death by random knives!
At night, the fighting continued.
The camp of the South Wind Country
Nan Qianqiu was drinking and eating meat with Erlang's legs crossed, and the deputy general below reported to him today's battle situation.
"General, our army has a preliminary estimate of 30,000 casualties today, and the actual losses are probably much higher, but the Cangyun Border Army has also suffered heavy losses."
Nan Qianqiu swallowed a piece of meat in his mouth and said expressionlessly: "Well, after all, the Cangyun Border Army is their most elite troops, and it is still a little difficult to gnaw this hard bone in this easy to defend and difficult to attack place, but I am ready to lose 200,000 soldiers, not to be annihilated, but to suffer heavy losses!" Let his border army no longer have the possibility of confronting our army. ”
Nan Qianqiu took another sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth with his cuffs and said: "He An Shangwu is also a smart man, the two outermost lines of defense are probably the bottom in the border army, and the most elite troops in the border army are probably in the third line of defense, although where it is almost a plain, but it is also suitable for large-scale corps operations, after all, our catapult will not be able to drive in for a while and a half, he wants to fight with us there." ”
After listening to the general's analysis, the adjutant general understood that the reason why it was so easy to fight today was because of the strength of their siege equipment, and once the fortress became wreckage, it would not be able to be cleaned up for a while and a half, and the catapult would not be able to drive in, and he was a little worried.
"This ...... General: So how is this good? ”
Nan Qianqiu said slightly angrily: "What? Are you scared? Rubbish! A border army of more than 100,000 people is also trying in vain to stop the million-strong army of our South Wind Country? Ridiculous! Didn't I just say that even if I lose 200,000 troops, I must let his elite army suffer heavy losses! ”
The adjutant hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"General, your subordinates are ignorant."
Nan Qianqiu is right, An Shangwu did arrange it this way, because he did not have heavy weapons, and his casualties in the battle within the range of the catapult attack would inevitably be the largest, and the losses would be very fast, while in the plains, although his own casualties were also large, he could exchange for greater casualties among the enemy! Now it is already employing people to buy time for Yan Qingyun! But Yan Qingyun was still in a coma at the moment.
After a night of hard fighting, the first two lines of defense had collapsed in a day, and the ruined walls of the city had allowed only soldiers to pass through the already narrow aisles, and the catapults had to stop there until they were cleared.
And the border army has retreated to the third wall, and this wall will be a nightmare for the country of the south wind!
The adjutant general, with a few bandages tied around his body, came to An Shangwu's side, and yesterday he fought hard with a general of the South Wind Country for half a day before killing him, and he himself suffered a lot of injuries.
"General, in yesterday's battle, our border army lost 42,000 people."
An Shangwu held back tears, although the 40,000 people were gone, but this was already a good result, they had blocked it for a whole day.
An Shangwu pointed his index finger at the lieutenant's chest and said:
"Well, forty thousand brothers! Overnight, it's gone, and the next battle will be even more brutal, our brother may not survive one in ten, maybe you will die, I will also die, Vice General Liu, are you afraid? ”
Saying that, An Shangwu laughed, he raised the wine jug and poured a sip of spirits, the adjutant general lowered his head and thought for a while and raised his head and said: "General, I'm not afraid, if I'm afraid of Liu Zheng, he won't join the army!" Not to mention the border troops who will fight at any time! ”
An Shangwu listened carefully to Liu Zheng's words, and Liu Zheng continued: "Although I have only been in the army for seven years, I have experienced five battles, large and small! Two of them are fighting with you! ”
The more Liu Zheng spoke, the more excited he became, and even waved his injured arm, perhaps because of the excitement that made him forget his pain.
"General, do you remember? Four years ago, His Majesty transferred you to Qingshan to suppress bandits, and I stood behind you after the victory in that battle, and I still remember your mighty appearance at that time, at that time I was just a small commander, you know, I have admired you since then, and I want to guard my country like you, and I secretly swore in my heart that I will fight with you wherever you are in the future! Even if I die, I will die with you, do you know that you are the hero in my heart. ”
An Shangwu smiled: "Hehe, where am I a hero?" I'm just a soldier defending my country. ”
Liu Zheng interrupted him and said categorically: "No! Checkmate! You are my hero! And he is the hero of the entire Cangyun Country! ”
An Shangwu was very happy to hear it, he patted his arm gently, and softly reminded him to pay attention to the wound on his arm, but compared to this ruthless and cruel battlefield in his heart, this young man's words made his heart extremely warm, he didn't expect that he would invisibly affect this young man so deeply, he swore that he must let him leave alive! Not for himself or for Liu Zheng, just to leave a seed of hope for the border army!
As he spoke, there was a black pressure in the distance, and it was Nan Qianqiu who took the lead!
"An Shangwu, today I will let you see how the fortress you have worked hard for decades has been broken by me!"
"Hehe, Nan Qianqiu, who wouldn't talk big? If you want to siege the city, come ahead! I'm going to be martial arts! ”
Compared to the first two walls, the length of this third wall reached an astonishing 3,500 steps! On the left side is still the absolute forbidden area Emperor Absolute Valley, and on the right side is the cliff of the Warcraft Forest, the border army is condescending, and the siege equipment of the South Wind Country cannot advance for a short time.
Nan Qianqiu gave an order, and the archers advanced rapidly under the cover of the infantry, and soon entered the range of the border army, and the first round of arrows rained in the wind, and the soldiers in the front row raised their shields to resist but still fell.
The border army was condescending and shot farther, but because it was the north wind today, and the third city wall was due south, the south wind country only needed to push closer, and this battle could be described as unfavorable for Nan Qianqiu! But when the three occupy the other, they can fight!
As soon as the frontier army entered the range of the southerly archers, they immediately launched a counterattack, and from time to time the frontier troops on the city walls were killed, and the same situation was seen everywhere throughout the battlefield.
Outside the city, the corpses of the soldiers of the south wind are all over the field, the yellow land is dyed red with a fishy smell, and the blood lines on the city wall flow down the city wall one by one, the war is cruel!
The soldiers of the south wind carried a ladder made of fine iron and rushed to the city wall after paying huge casualties, and the soldiers climbed up the ladder on the city wall, and there were also strong and powerful people who overturned the ladder, but more could not be pushed, because the ladder and the city wall were almost a right triangle!
The border army lifted heavy objects such as stones, and smashed them down at the same time as the increase in Xuan power, and some of the soldiers who were climbing the ladder were smashed to a blue nose and swollen face, and the big difference in strength was blurred flesh and blood, but as more and more soldiers from the south wind rushed to the city wall, this phenomenon began to decrease rapidly.
An Shangwu slashed the Nanfeng soldiers who rushed up one by one, but soon the east side near the forest was breached, and the east gate was wide open!
The two generals on Nan Qianqiu's side asked for orders at the same time.
"General, let the two brothers go and meet him!"
"Okay, two half-step Dao Spirit powerhouses are enough for him to stand it."
The two generals quickly approached the city wall and stepped on the ladder to jump up the city wall quickly, An Shangwu looked at the two and cursed secretly.
"Damn! It's Chongyang Chongming brother! ”
As soon as the scolding stopped, the ridicule of the two arrived.
"An Shangwu, do you remember my two brothers? Last time we fought, our brother couldn't enjoy it! This time, let's learn your tricks again! ”
The two of them can be regarded as one of the strongest in the South Wind Country, and in the South Wind Country, a country where force is supreme, the strength of the two of them can be ranked in the top ten!
The two of them flew into the air with their strength, and threw out the steel ring with the mysterious force in their hands, and the steel wheel rotated at high speed in the air and flew towards An Shangwu, making a sound of tearing the air, and the power of this steel wheel could not be taken even by the cultivators of the Eightfold Realm of Xiuyuan! It's like the general of the Nine Realms who was killed in one hit.
Seeing this, An Shangwu instantly inserted the spear in his hand into the gap in the city wall, held the gun with both arms and bent it back hard, and when the steel wheel flew in, he instantly let go of the pistol shaft and hit the flywheel, and after a stalemate, the flywheel ejected and hit the second flywheel that flew in, and the two flywheels then deviated from the direction and circled around and were caught by the two brothers who jumped up and stood back to back.
One pouted and smiled and asked:
"An Shangwu, do you remember us?"
"Huh! Defeated! Do you remember my Anjia gun? Although An Shangwu scolded happily, he didn't dare to fall in love with his opponent, after all, the other two were also half-step Dao Spirit powerhouses.
The two immediately recalled the first time they encountered An Shangwu being violently beaten, which was an eternal shame for them! Another replied, "Look for death!" Now it's different from the past, now the two of us brothers have broken through from the eightfold to the half-step Dao Spirit, and you have only reached the half-step Dao Spirit from the ninth-fold! Ahn Sang-wu! Next year's day is your festival! ”
The two brothers instantly left the place, one left and one right, and killed An Shangwu.
An Shangwu pulled out his spear and immediately rushed towards the strongest Chongyang, all the soldiers within three zhang of the first confrontation were shocked back by the aftermath, and in a blink of an eye, Chongming had rushed behind him, An Shangwu kicked a spear from the ground and kicked one of them, the sharp tip of the spear stabbed the heavy name, the steel wheel was thrown, the spear was shocked and shot a border soldier, and the three of them fought together.
At this time, the soldiers of the south wind rushed up the city wall from the east side like an ant colony, and some people rushed down the stairs on the east side to open the gate in the middle.
An Shangwu can only watch but has no skills, because he is not having a good time here! What's more, there are two masters of the South Wind and a half step spirit who are entangled with him.
