Chapter Seventy-Nine: Life and Death
The Yan army has been replaced by Xie Wang's personal command, when Ye Beijiang swept the 10,000 people of Yan with cavalry, Xie Wang knew that what Song Xuan said was true, but Ye Beijiang was outstanding, and his fierce style of leading troops and his grasp of timing were very good.
With such an opponent, Xie Wang couldn't help but want to fight him face to face. That's why there are waves of slow attacks now, and Xie Wang also wants to directly capture Qingyun City, but over the years, Ye Beijiang has been operating Qingyun City for so many years, and the degree of solidity can be imagined.
Not only that, but these armies of Chu are also much stronger than imagined, just every time they attack, the rain of arrows covering the sky has already caused the Yan army to lose a small half of the troops charged, and when they arrived at the city, all kinds of rockfalls and limes made the previous waves of attacks not benefit at all.
Xie Wang, who was standing in front of the formation, looked at the rejuvenated Qingyun City in front of him across the Yishui River, and felt uncomfortable, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all these years.
Seeing that he couldn't attack for a long time, Xie Wang sacrificed one of the elite troops of the Yan army - the Qiangu Army.
Qiangu Army is a shield armor soldier cultivated by Yan Guo over the years, and each soldier is equipped with a well-crafted Xuanjin heavy armor, which is inferior to swords and guns, but due to the high cost, it has only created a team of 5,000 people over the years.
"Mingze, you take the Qiangu army with you, in front, followed by 10,000 light armored soldiers, I don't believe it, a small Qingyun City, I can't take it down."
"Command", Xie Wang retreated from one of the generals behind him, and after a while, the neatly lined shield soldiers slowly came out from the rear of the Yan army.
"Shield Army, Forward", "Woo, Click", the Yan Army, which has 5,000 people, marches neatly in thick Xuanjia, and constantly makes strange noises.
This is one of the elites of the Yan Kingdom, specially used to deal with the existence of attacking the city, far beyond the ordinary battle armor, and the rain of arrows on them is like tickling.
This gave Xuan Ke a headache, what they could resist the impact of the Yan army was the rain of arrows, but the rain of arrows didn't work at the moment, and what's worse was that these Xuanjia soldiers were followed by 10,000 Yan troops, these people were the real killers.
The soldiers listened to the order, stopped firing arrows, lifted up the oil prepared before, and poured it down, "You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, for this kind of unreasonable Xuanjia soldiers, Xuan Ke has long expected it, and let people prepare a lot of tung oil in advance."
The existence of tung oil is just enough to restrain the iron armor on the opposite side, and barrels of tung oil are carried to the city wall, and seeing that the opposite side is about to go under the city wall, barrels of oil are poured down desperately.
At first, Yan Jun didn't know what Chu Jun was doing, and what he was doing with water on them.
Until a rocket came over, the hot flames ignited on them, and the armor that had helped them dodge countless dark arrows happened to become their amulet at this time, and they were eager to take off the armor one by one.
But as soon as he took off his armor, he became the target of the Chu army, and all kinds of arrows poured down, taking away the Yan army who were rolling in the fire one by one.
Although this trick worked very well, the 10,000 Yan troops who followed behind these Xuanjia soldiers seized the opportunity, and set up ladders to climb the clouds in several places, and even the city gate was occupied by the Yan army.
Seeing that the city gate was about to be unkept, Xuan Ke drew his long sword, and rushed into the battlefield on the city wall with the support team of 2,000 people behind him.
The sudden fire ignited all the soldiers who occupied the gate, and one by one they became fire people, and the Yan army wanted to continue to seize the opportunity that the defenders of Qingyun City could not cope with to attack again, but they were forced back by the raging fire under the city wall.
"What is that, why can it block our shield soldiers", Xie Wang saw this scene from a distance, and asked with some shock, this is the first time he has seen this, as long as his shield armor soldiers come out, there is no city that cannot be attacked.
"I don't know, my subordinates will go down to investigate."
"Go, transfer all the troops, I don't believe it, my 200,000 army can't defeat a small Qingyun City, and one person will drown them if they spit on each other." The angry Xie Wang has lost his patience, and this is the most aggrieved time he has ever beaten.
"Wait, father, we still need to leave some people in the south to keep an eye on the Jin Kingdom, in case ....."
"No need, my emperor has already dragged the Jin Kingdom in a friendly way, as long as it is past tonight, Qingyun City will be ours, and it will be useless for the Jin Kingdom to say anything at that time."
"But my father ....."
"Do as I say, if you still want to marry a princess, listen to me." Xie Wang interrupted Xie Jie's words, his decision was not allowed to be questioned.
"Yes", a sentence of marrying a princess, directly dispelled Xie Jie's last concerns, he knew that it would be useless to continue talking, so he simply listened to his father.
Looking at Ye Yunyi's side again, their team of 30,000 people has been hiding near the junction of Yan and Jin for almost a day, the Jin country side is relatively loose, and the Yan country side is very tightly defended, and they have not found a good opportunity.
"Pavilion master, when will we do it, I see that the Yan army here is very tightly controlled, if it drags on any longer, it will be difficult for us to succeed", Man San couldn't wait, looking at Ji Nanzhou in the distance, Man Shan touched his fist, looking belligerent.
"It's not time yet, I wonder if Darkblade has sent the news"? Ye Yunyi and Man Shan stayed on a big tree, looking at the Yishui River in the distance through the leaves.
The clear Yiren River remained quietly, separating the Jin Kingdom from the Yan Kingdom, and the dense woods on both sides of the river bank just provided Ye Yunyi and them with a hidden place.
"Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops, the front line has an order, asking us all to attack Qingyun City, all gone, brothers."
A voice came, Ye Yunyi and Man San looked over in surprise, and just saw that the Yan army stationed not far away began to retreat, and both of them felt very strange, this Yan country is so relieved that Jin Guo, don't take any precautions?
"It's not good, Qingyun City is in danger, this Jin Kingdom has also been deceived, Yan Guo didn't really expect Jin Guo to send troops this time, he planned to eat Jin Guo alone", Ye Yunyi came back to his senses, and through Yan Jun's withdrawal behavior, he guessed that Yan Guo was really bold this time, and actually played Jin Guo in front of Jin Guo.
"Man San, you immediately go down and inform the brothers, we are going to act tonight, Qingyun City may not last long, according to this situation, Yan Guo must be the whole army to suppress Qingyun City."
Ye Yunyi quickly ordered, and then he also prepared for it, and acted tonight.
Just when Ye Yunyi and the others were preparing, Qingyun City's side repelled the Yan army's attack again, but the Yan army seemed to have given up on the preparation to attack again, and beat the drum to collect the troops, but what could be seen on Qingyun City was that more Yan troops were gathered under Ji Nanzhou, and it seemed that they were preparing to launch the most fierce attack.
On Qingyun City, Xuan Ke was also relieved when he saw the retreating Yan army, this relief was directly on the ground, and the highly tense battle was commanding and personally going into battle, which made him physically and mentally reach the limit.
The 20,000 defenders he led before were now less than 3,000, and all of them were wounded large and small.
If the Yan army attacked again, they really couldn't resist it, and even the arrows that they had prepared before that could support them for several days were all exhausted, so you can imagine what they had experienced in this battle.
At this time, Ye Beijiang was feeding the horses in the stable, and since he was relieved to hand over Qingyun City to Xuan Ke, then he absolutely believed him.
"Horses, horses, eat more, it's up to you later," Ye Beijiang touched the head of his beloved horse, as if he was talking to the horse, but as if he was saying it to himself.
No one expected that less than thirty miles away from Qingyun City, the army led by Xu Tingwei and Yun Linshu had already arrived here, and they would be able to reach Qingyun City at night.
"Master Yun, listen, there is still a shout of killing in Qingyun City, Qingyun City has not been lost yet, we still have time", Xu Tingwei said happily.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's finally time to catch up, son, hurry up and strive to reinforce Qingyun City as soon as possible, I'm afraid things will change."
"Okay, listen to Master Yun".
On this night, the small Qingyun City will be the focus of everyone, the two states and counties of the Chu State sent troops, and the two states and counties are the most powerful states in the Chu State, which means that most of the troops of the Chu State are also pressed in Qingyun City.
In the Chu Palace, Qin Yingluo was wearing a new yellow robe, and Qu Tianhong was standing behind her, both of them looked in the direction of Qingyun City, this battle decided the fate of the Chu State, and also determined their fate.
At the end of the Royal Forest Street, in the deserted Ye Mansion, Ye Bo bent down and gave a pillar of incense to the ancestors of the Ye family.
In the Kyoto of Yan Kingdom, Yan Emperor Wei Tianshu put down the folds in his hand and walked out of the main hall, as if he was looking at the direction of Ji Nanzhou, in the princess's mansion, Dongfang Yu saw his apprentice, ready to bid farewell to Yan Country and return to his homeland.
