Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Battle of the City Wall

The defending troops of the original river city were not stupid, they heard the shouts of killing one by one, and after waking up from the barracks, they didn't need Liu Chen's order at all, and instinctively began to rush to the city wall.

Looking at the enemy reinforcements that kept coming up, Xiong, who was already covered in blood at this time, frowned, and roared loudly while cutting down an enemy soldier, "Brothers! Hurry up and push it up!! ”

The space on the city wall is relatively limited, if it is all crowded, the people behind will not be able to come up, and these soldiers defending the city are obviously aware of this, they are planning to rely on the number of troops in the city to forcibly occupy the space of the city wall, so that Xia Qi's soldiers outside the city can no longer climb up through the ladder!

The purpose of both sides is obvious, the two groups of men and horses directly killed together, the other side of the soldiers climbed the stairs from the other side to rush up is much easier than climbing the ladder, and suddenly squeezed nearly sixty percent of the space at the head of the entire wall, and the ladders on the wall around it were constantly pushed down by the garrison of the original River City, and for a while, the capture speed of the siege troops under Xia Qi was sluggish.

Feeling the increase in the pressure on his body, Xiong's brows became more and more wrinkled, the situation was too unfavorable for them, although their total strength was excellent, but if they couldn't climb the city wall, no matter how many troops they had, it would be useless to stand outside the city!

For the current situation, Xia Qi undoubtedly saw it quite thoroughly, and began to command the soldiers who could not climb the city wall to attack the city gate of Yuanhe City, hoping to disperse the opponent's forces in this way, so as to win opportunities for the soldiers on the city wall.

Without large-scale siege equipment, this wave of siege warfare can be said to be quite uncomfortable, but what can be done? The periphery of Yuanhe City is a circle of rugged and difficult mountain roads, and the siege equipment can't be pushed at all, so it can be said that it is quite helpless, he can't complain that the royal court doesn't build roads, right?

After a round of fighting, Xiong, who had already killed at least thirty or forty enemy soldiers one after another, became slightly shorter in breath, and the tenacity of the opposing soldiers exceeded his expectations, and at the same time, the fallen corpse seemed to be blocking him.

The bear, whose feet were sunk deep in the pile of corpses, felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to move, and at that moment, a sharp bronze sword suddenly swung towards him in the midst of the enemy army!

Xiong, who quickly returned to his senses, subconsciously raised his shield to block, at that time, he only heard the sound of a sword blade colliding with a bronze shield, and Xiong's eyes suddenly fell on the body of the sneak attacker, it was a middle-aged man wearing bronze armor, needless to say, this person was Liu Chen, the general of the original river city!

From the beginning of the siege war, he has been fighting until now, Xiong Xiong, as a fierce general, has always been at the front of the battle formation, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has at least helped the soldiers behind him and beside him to share a quarter of the pressure, which is completely a posture of one for ten.

But people are tired, and if a person's full value is counted as a hundred, then no matter how fierce the general is, from the moment the battle begins, their value will begin to drop.

There is no doubt that the bear at this time is no longer in a state of full value, this Liu Chen is obviously very good at finding opportunities, and he will shoot directly when he targets a flaw, if he is replaced by an ordinary general, it is estimated that nine times out of ten he will have to be planted in his hands.

But Xiong is different, as a five-star martial arts value, and at the peak, he can even break through the six-star demon and approach the seven-star demon, such an attack made him react instantly and block Liu Chen's sword.

Then I saw that the bear kept moving, and while blocking the opponent's attack, the steps under his feet quickly moved forward, and the bronze war knife in his hand was about to hit his fierce counterattack!

This counterattack came too quickly, so that after a shot, Liu Chen, who had just returned in vain, instantly changed his face, and his whole heart suddenly hung in his throat.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, an unexpected situation suddenly happened, I don't know if it was the corpse ghosts who died under the bear bronze battle axe were haunting, at the critical moment, his steps were actually tripped by the corpses piled up at his feet, and the balance of the whole body was destroyed in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Liu Chen turned into surprise on the spot, and the long sword in his hand hurriedly swung out again, launching a pursuit towards the bear who had lost his balance in the distance!

"Commander, be careful!"

At this time, the people who were fighting with him on the wall were undoubtedly good brothers in his army, and the tacit understanding they had accumulated between them on the battlefield made them react at the first time.

I saw that the two axe and shield soldiers who were standing on the left and right sides of the bear at this time showed a full tacit understanding at this moment, while one raised his shield to parry Liu Chen's attack, the bronze battle axe in the other's hand also cut directly at Liu Chen's head!

This tacit cooperation made Liu Chen's heart slightly startled, and then a touch of luster flashed in his eyes.

"Look for death!"

As the words fell, I saw that the offensive in Liu Chen's hand had changed, and the bear expression, who had caught the movement of the other party's hand and had already realized something, suddenly changed suddenly.

"Get out of the way!!"

Almost as soon as the bear shouted this, the sharp bronze sword pierced through the heart of the axe and shield man.

"Ahh......h

This shield axe soldier seemed to want to wave the bronze battle axe in his hand to kill Liu Chen, but he couldn't do it, the passing of his life made the strength of his body completely drained in an instant, and the gradually cold corpse was kicked away by Liu Chen without hesitation, and then with a string of blood flowers, the sharp bronze long sword was quickly withdrawn.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! I'll kill you!! ”

The splashes of blood, the fallen corpses, the scenes constantly stimulated the bear's senses, and made his eyes split.

The bear who had gained a firm foothold was almost carried away by the furious rage, at this time he was like a fierce beast that chose people to devour, roaring and killing Liu Chen!

Seeing this, Liu Chen avoided the fight, and pushed the two soldiers beside him towards the bear, while he quickly squeezed towards the rear.

"Stop, don't want to run!"

Seeing this scene, Xiong's mood became more and more irritable, and between the swings of the bronze battle axe in his hand, the exaggerated force cut the two soldiers in half on the spot, and the posture like a bloody demon god was really intimidating.

"Damn, what a monster!"

Liu Chen's eyelids jumped when he saw this bloody scene, he was not interested in fighting with such a monster at all, in the end, if one person could fight again, could he beat more than a hundred people? With such a thought, Liu Chen pursed his lips disdainfully in his heart, and at the same time had a slight hint of jealousy.

On the real battlefield, the strength of a fierce general is not enough to change the entire battle situation in many cases, but in the case of a small gap in strength, on one side is the vanguard led by a fierce general, and on the other side is the vanguard led by an ordinary general who is not very strong.

On a high ground outside the city, Xia Qi, who had been paying attention to the situation on the city wall, noticed this scene, and couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter, Xiong He rushed too forward!" ”

In the fight on the battlefield, the important thing is to act in a group, especially when the soldiers on both sides are killed, and it becomes more taboo to act alone like this.

Individual fierce generals with extremely strong strength naturally have the strength to kill single-handedly and back and forth to a certain extent, but a person's physical strength and energy are limited after all, and they are afraid that they will kill too far and will not be able to kill them back in the end.

After all, Xiong is a battle-hardened veteran, and it is impossible not to even know this thing, so it stands to reason that he should not make such a low-level mistake.

Thinking of this, Xia Qi had already realized that the situation was wrong, a wave of surprise attacks failed to directly capture the wall of the original River City, and if he continued to fight, he would only increase the casualties of his troops, which was definitely not what Xia Qi wanted to see.

As soon as he thought of this, he decisively beckoned the soldiers beside him to blow the horn of retreat, and the first round of raids ended at the moment when the eastern sky was white.

It didn't take long for the bear to walk in, covered in blood.

"Patriarch, why are you retreating?! With a little more time, we can take the wall! ”

"And then?" Xia Qi, who was sitting in the camp tent, looked at Xiong like this, and then asked those three words with a calm face.

"What?!"

"How many soldiers are you going to sacrifice? Three hundred? Four hundred? Five hundred? Or is it more? ”

"I, I ......"

The bear with a bloody face, no matter what expression he had on his face at this time, he looked fierce and vicious, but Xia Qi still had that calm appearance, although his heart may not be as calm as it seemed.

"What's going on on the city wall, I probably imagined that your mind needs to calm down, now, turn around, get out of my tent, and then go get a basin of cold water and pour it on your head, and when your mind is almost calm, go to the accompanying military doctor to treat the wound, and then you can come over to discuss the next tactical arrangements."

After a while, Xiong walked in again, and the wet hair proved that he really poured a basin of cold water on his head according to Xia Qi's words, this old man was too real, so that Li Chuan, who was sitting on the side, was a little out of idea for a while, but anyway, he looked calm.

There is no friction, for the next play arrangement, Xia Qi obviously has a plan in his heart, and at this time it can almost be said that he opened his mouth and said: "The terrain of the original river city is superior, easy to defend and difficult to attack, a wave of surprise attacks failed to win, after the other party is prepared, it will undoubtedly become more difficult to fight." ”

This is undoubtedly a headache, which made Li Chuan, who was sitting next to him, frown, and seriously pondered how to break through Yuanhe City in this state.

Xiong, on the other hand, sat there without saying a word, and after his mind calmed down a little, he realized that he had indeed been a little too impulsive before.

"Next, we won't attack the city."

In a word, Li Chuan, who was thinking hard about how to break through the original river city, was stunned on the spot.

"No, no more sieges?"

"yes, no more sieges."

"But, but ......"

"But what?" Xia Qi looked at Li Chuan, who had obviously not turned a corner in his mind for a while.

Li Chuan was speechless for a while, and at this moment, he really didn't know what to say, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

After a while, Li Chuan had a little thought about Xia Qi's words, but Xiong was still in the clouds, after all, his intelligence was not high......

In the end, he simply slapped his thigh, "Patriarch, no matter how you fight, your subordinates only have one request!" Liu Chen, the general of the original river city, will kill him with his own hands! ”

In the end, Xiong's voice was already full of undisguised killing intent, and Xia Qi, who heard this, quickly flashed a trace of clarity in his eyes.

"That's right."
