Chapter 28: The Ruins of Half the City
While a few people were still talking, a Qin soldier with a blackened face rushed to report:
"General, the fire on the wall of the East Gate has been extinguished, and the foot soldiers can pass!"
Bai Yingqi was overjoyed, "Well done, my son will be rewarded!" ”
Sikong Coo glared at him fiercely, and then said to Qin Bing: "The firefighting team will go down to rest first, prepare sandbags, and be on call at any time." ”
"Yes!"
Sikong turned around, and the soldiers under his command were already ready to go.
"Some of the elites of the third order and above, follow me. The rest of the people are guarding the north of the city, and they must not make any more mistakes before! ”
Everyone agreed in unison.
Meng Su and hundreds of other Qin army masters volunteered to serve as pioneers in order to make up for their merits, and took the lead in rushing to the city wall of the east gate.
Sikong Cuo, Bai Yingqi and General Wei were in the center, and they were also moving forward quickly, constantly watching the situation around them.
In the rear, there were hundreds of Qin army masters, protecting the backs of several generals and following carefully.
Sikong mistakenly knew that the Tang Army had gone on the way, but that assassin was the only one who was difficult to deal with.
To deal with this kind of master, it is useless to have too many people, but it is easy to mess up.
All the elites composed of samurai and martial artists of the third and fourth orders can deal with assassins most efficiently.
A thousand well-trained elites in the army are enough to besiege and kill an innate martial artist - everyone is very confident in this.
There was a Qin general left behind in the rear, stationed in the north of the city with 20,000 Qin troops, waiting for the good news of Sikong Cuo and his party.
The elite of the Qin army passed above the east gate and walked south at the head of the city, condescendingly, looking at the scene in the south of the city.
Soon, everyone's faces became solemn.
Even Bai Yingqi, who has always laughed and scolded, made a straight face.
Not only the south of the city, but half of the Anxi military town has all fallen into flames.
Through the firelight, you can vaguely see the corpses of the Qin army on the streets and alleys, as well as the severed blades half-buried in the dust.
The charred battle banner was slanted to the ground, and between the shattered and scattered armor, the black-red blood had congealed into lumps.
The tragic scene like purgatory, everyone didn't dare to breathe.
The night wind howled, the flames burned, and the houses crackled.
With a bang, the house slowly collapsed in the flames, burying several corpses underneath.
This is not just the situation of one street, looking at ten miles, hundreds of streets and alleys, all of which are the burial places of Qin Jun!
The crowd stood on tiptoe and looked left and right, trying to find traces of their surviving comrades.
It's a pity that nothing was found.
There was nothing moving in the south of the city except for flickering tongues of fire and rags blown up by the wind.
Sikong Tso remained calm on the surface, but his hands began to tremble.
He has always been good at controlling the situation on the battlefield, and he has mastered all kinds of changes, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.
There are 20,000 main forces of the Qin army, four innate martial artists, and a little marquis who is good at Taoism and ambitious to make the first contribution.
In half a night, he was killed by a remnant army of less than 1,000 people until the whole army was wiped out?
Even if the raging fire caused most of the damage, it was unbelievable that an Assassin could set fire to the army in a row.
Sikong Cuo wants to look up to the sky and sigh - in recent years, the Great Qin Qiang Army, which has won many battles and made all countries fearful, what's wrong?
Are we too weak, or are the Assassins too strong?
A thousand elite Qin troops continued to march at the head of the city, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
After walking a small half circle along the city wall, everyone saw the situation of half of the Anxi military town.
The city was in ruins, full of corpses, and there was not a single living person to be found.
The south gate was closed, and thousands of Qin State Gale Riders were still waiting outside the gate, indicating that the Tang army or the assassins had not fled through the south gate.
Seeing this extremely tragic scene, General Wei couldn't help but open his mouth to break the silence, "Could it be that they are all doomed?" ”
Bai Yingqi walked all the way with his head bored, and only then did he say:
"The Tang army and our army should have died together, but the assassin is not dead."
Sikong Cuo raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you know?" ”
Bai Yingqi: "If he dies, I will definitely be able to take back my blood pattern golden needle." But now I still can't sense the direction of the golden needle, it's exactly the same as before. ”
Sikong Cuo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The assassin may still be alive, or maybe he is lurking nearby, everyone be on guard!" ”
When the elites of the Qin army heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little creepy, all like this, the assassin is not dead?
Everyone understands that the Qin army in the south of the city was destroyed, and the veterans of the Beiting army were by no means the main reason.
Before the Qin army entered the city and fought in the streets, they marched all the way, and soon defeated the Beiting army with heavy casualties.
Everyone felt that the victory was in their hands.
It wasn't until the Assassins appeared and began to assassinate and set fire to them that the situation quickly deteriorated.
That strange and ruthless assassin is the culprit hidden in the depths of the night!
The elites of the Qin army stayed on the high city wall, their eyes wide open one by one, looking for suspicious signs under the city wall.
Bai Yingqi was not so nervous, but pondered.
"If that town Takeo approaches, there should be a reminder from the system."
"But how can you kill him? Zhencheng Wufu, the town should be Anxi City. ”
"Such a person is probably invincible in the city!"
"And I haven't commanded the army independently, the talent of [Annihilating the Country] has not been effective for a long time, and the combat power can't get up, damn it!"
Bai Yingqi was thinking about it, when suddenly a spirit turned his head to look under the city wall.
"What's wrong?" General Wei and the others didn't feel abnormal, and they were a little surprised to see Bai Yingqi's reaction so violently.
However, the next moment, a heavy barrel was thrown up from under the city.
What followed was a purple-blue dark weapon the size of an egg.
"Insect carving skills." General Wei snorted coldly, his figure moved over like lightning, and left the city, and the person was directly suspended in mid-air.
Catch the barrel with one hand and slap it out with the other.
Boom - the invisible gang qi burst out vigorously, like a violent wind, instantly enveloping the hidden weapon that suddenly exploded.
The 10,000-point spark sputtered out, but it was blown away by the gangqi, scattered in the strong wind current, and extinguished one after another.
Then General Wei turned around with the barrel in his hand, took a volley in the air, and returned to the city in an instant.
Under the city, a black shadow flashed out of the ruins and quickly retreated into the distance.
It was Song Yun who had been in ambush for a long time.
At this moment, Song Yun felt a little helpless in his heart.
"Martial Arts Grandmaster, there has been a qualitative change in cultivation-it is both vacant and unleashed, and it is not easy to deal with."
At the head of the city, General Wei locked on to the black shadow at a glance, but he didn't chase after him, and only continued to guard Sikong Cuo and Bai Yingqi.
And Sikong Cuo and Bai Yingqi glanced at each other, and shouted at the same time: "Chase!" ”
Bai Yingqi took the lead, jumped directly from the city, and chased after him in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
Sikong Co followed closely with a team of elites.
They knew very well that the only one who could deal with this assassin was General Wei now.
General Wei was only responsible for protection, so they put their lives at risk and entangled with the assassins.
At that time, as soon as the martial arts master makes a move, no matter how strong the assassin is, he is just an innate martial artist, can he still turn the sky upside down?
In the messy streets, Bai Yingqi chased wildly, his eyes flashing.
"Although they are all traversers, but everyone has different missions, don't blame me for borrowing a knife to kill people!"
