Chapter 14 Breaking the City

With the opening of the city protection array, the previous siege advantage of the rebel army disappeared in an instant, and the city defense army on the city tower relied on the defense of the city guard array, launched a crazy attack on the rebel army, and the rebel army under the city tower was like a weed under the wind, falling row by row, this one-sided slaughter made the city defense army on the city tower gradually fall into madness.

The huge offensive forced the rebel army to order a retreat, and the corpses under the city tower were strewn all over the field, blood and loess intertwined, and under the reflection of the sun's rays, it looked extremely vivid. With the temporary retreat of the rebel army, the frenzy in the eyes of the city defense army gradually faded, and the soldiers trembled and held their weapons, panting heavily.

"All medical teams obeyed the order, withdrew from the spirit stone transportation mission, and immediately treated the wounded." The commander immediately issued one order after another in an orderly manner.

Under the unified order, the guards of the south gate gradually restored order, each performing its own duties, they knew that the enemy's retreat was temporary, and they must seize this moment to complete the supply of ammunition and weapons. The arrows in the arsenal of the South Gate City Defense Army have bottomed out, and a large number of spears have also been thrown out by the crazy soldiers just now, and they are currently urgently sending orders to the commanders of the outer city, hoping to seek weapons supplies from the other three gates.

Rebel Army, Headquarters

Wang Xu sat on the high platform of the hall, the first army and the second army were in charge of the attack at the south gate, and their army commanders Zhang Goudan and Chen Fengshou were sitting sullenly in the hall.

"Big brother, this group of old thieves stayed in the king's eight shells, and we lost a lot of brothers." Zhang Goudan leaned back in the chair and patted the armrest on the side of the chair with his hand.

"That's right, big brother, although our mission is to attract the attention of the three gates, but the loss is too great, no matter how heroic the brothers of our legion are, they can't afford such a high price, and now that we have sacrificed so many brothers in vain, how can I explain to my brothers." Chen Fengshou also had a bitter face, leaning forward, supporting his head with both hands.

Wang Xu also seemed slightly dissatisfied, his brows furrowed slightly, his hands crossed over his chest, he pondered for a moment, it was obvious that the casualties of the First and Second Legions exceeded his budget.

Wang Xu slapped his chair and stood up suddenly: "The generals obey the order and continue to attack!" ”

"Big brother!" Zhang Goudan and Chen Fengshou stood up suddenly, their eyes fixed on Wang Xu.

"What? Don't listen to orders? Wang Xu's voice became sharper.

"Yes!" Although they objected to it in their hearts, at the moment of exit, they only turned into an unwilling sigh

Zhang Goudan and Chen Fengshou slammed the door and walked out, leaving Wang Xu with a frown.

Kochi City, South Gate

"Report! Captain, the enemy has launched a new attack. The scout knelt in front of the commander and quickly reported.

"The whole army is in formation, ready for battle."

A roaring sound came from outside the city, and the huge tremors shook the city defense troops on the city tower at a loss. Circle after circle of yellow ripples poured out over the moat.

"Archers ready, three! Two! One! Put! The commander of the Arrow team shouted the order.

"Whew!" The sound of breaking the air sounded, and many arrows rained out from the city tower, and one after another the rebels fell, but what they didn't expect was that the endless rebels in the rear poured up again, but they covered the corpses of the rebels in front of them, making it difficult for the rain of arrows behind them to cause great damage.

More and more rebel troops rushed to the front of the city defense array, attacking the city defense array vigorously, yellow ripples continued to rise, the city guard array was greatly impacted, and a piercing buzzing sound echoed in everyone's ears, like an alarm to warn the city defense army.

"Report!" The scout gasped, "The rebel army uses corpses as shields, the arrow team can no longer deal substantial damage, and the protective array is under continuous attack, and it is likely to be breached!" ”

"What!" The soldier commander stood up suddenly, obviously this sudden battle situation was beyond his expectations, "You stand down first, let them guard it for me!" ”

"Yes!" The scout withdrew.

The commander hurried to the place where the commander of the outer city was.

Kochi City, Command Headquarters

"Report! The commander of the South Gate soldier asks to see! The commander knelt at the door of the one-knee headquarters.

"Come in." A strong voice came from the house.

"Yes." The commander walked into the commander's command post, and then knelt on one knee, he lowered his head and propped one hand on the ground, "Lord Commander, the remote obstruction of the south gate has little effect, and the big battle of the city will be broken, and the next thing is hand-to-hand combat, but we are not enough troops, and I hope that the commander will transfer troops to support." ”

"The anti-thieves are so rampant, I will agree, send the scouts, and immediately mobilize the three forces to support the south gate." The Commander said lightly.

"Commander Xie." The commander saluted and then retired.

After the commander left, the commander slowly stood up, walked to the window, and sighed, how could he not know the intentions of the city lord, obviously treating him as an outcast, the only thing he could do was to delay a little longer, at least until the arrival of the imperial city support, in order to solve this problem.

South Gate, the front line

An hour later, a crisp sound of "ding~" echoed on the battlefield, and the city protection array sent out a strong vibration, and then shattered instantly like glass, and the yellow fragments dissipated in the sun, which means that the city protection array was officially broken.

"Brothers, the city protection array has been broken, follow me into the city!" The rebels finally survived this difficult moment, they successfully broke through the protective array, and as soon as these words came out, the rebels instantly boiled, like a rushing flood rushing to the south gate.

"Soldiers, the time has come to serve the city lord, behind us are our family and friends, even if the blood is empty, we must not take a step back, the soldiers will follow me to kill the thief, kill me!" The commander's words also instantly increased the morale of the city defense army.

At this time, the earth seemed to tremble, the rebel army and the city defense army beeted out, where they went, the dust rose into the air, and where they passed, the sound of footsteps was like thunder, and the yellow sand and dust filled the turbulent battlefield, and a head-on game was about to break out.

The blades of the two armies intertwined, the crisp sound of steel clashing echoed in the yellow sand, and the city defenders wore white armor and rushed forward from a distance like a wave of sparkling white light, and the yellow and gray rough clothes of the rebels made them roar and impact as if carrying a torrent of mud and rock. Overlooking from a high place, the battlefield is clearly divided into white and yellow.

Thousands of horses galloped, long knives drank blood, the sound of skin tearing, the roar of soldiers, the aura of slaughter swept across the battlefield, and the wind let out a sharp scream, blowing through this tragic battlefield, and running into the distance with this bloody breath.

The two armies gradually merged, the contact point of the front line was no longer clear, the ground was covered with stumps and scraps, and the strong smell of iron made the soldiers numb, and at this time, human life had become a meaningless number.

Suddenly, a large number of city defense army support poured out from the south gate, the arrow team regrouped, and the dense arrow rain flew out from the rear, and the rebel army who had no time to react was penetrated instantly, and the rebel army did not have an arrow team, and it can be said that it hated this kind of thing that took people a hundred meters away.

In the face of the close assault and long-range attrition of the city defense army, the rebel army gradually began to lose, the whole army began to retreat slowly, and the city defense army immediately moved forward when it saw the situation, and the entire battlefield began to move away from the south gate.

The commander received the scout's report on the battle situation, and then came to the south gate, he stood at the head of the city, looking at the gradually defeated rebel army with satisfaction, the corner of his mouth showed a smug smile, the current advantage is gradually rising, the rebel army continues to be consumed, and when their formation is disordered, the rebellion can be put down in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, the commander heard several loud noises in the city, and he looked in the direction of the three gates, which seemed to be the east, west, and north gates.

He was about to go over there to see the situation, when the scout appeared in front of him and said in a trembling voice: "Your Excellency, a large number of rebel armies suddenly appeared at the east, west, and north gates, and a large number of their troops were transferred into the south gate, causing the rebel army to directly break through the city like a devastating force, and it is encircling the south gate, and the anti-thief force is not 40,000 troops at all, but at least 100,000 people. ”

"How so?" When the Commander heard the scout's report, he felt a moment of darkness, and the joy he had just felt was instantly gone, all of this came so fast, like a dream, it seemed so unreal.

Suddenly, the earth shook, screams came out of the city, a large number of rebels rushed out of the south gate, and the first and second legions surrounded more than 20,000 city defense troops, the rear arrow team was directly slaughtered, the besieged city defense army was instantly paralyzed, just now the indomitable momentum instantly dissipated, the formation collapsed, and was captured alive by the rebel army, and the commander also knew that the general trend had gone.

He slowly lowered his head and slapped his hands heavily on the city wall, sighed, and then suddenly raised his head and yelled at the sky: "Liu Longyang dog thief, I will help you get promoted to become rich, you treat me like an abandoned son, give me 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers to guard 100,000 rebels, you will not die well!" ”

After speaking, he leaped down in the shocked gaze of the rebel army, "pop~" There was a muffled sound of the rebel army outside the city turned around, the leader's brain and blood had been integrated with the earth, and soon, Wang Xu appeared from the army, walked to the corpse of the commander, stood for a while, and ordered in a deep voice: "Come on, peel off his skin, and write on the skin with his blood 'Resist violence. Politics, thieves should be punished'. ”

"Yes!"

The commander committed suicide, the commander of the army was beheaded, and the south gate city broke and swore that the battle of the outer city ended with a complete victory for the rebel army.

Then Wang Xu occupied the city lord's mansion in the outer city, killed 30,000 troops in the ten miles outside the city of Kochi, and then blocked the four gates of the city of Kochi, and ordered that within one day, the army did not practice the law, and the city did not punish, the cheers of the rebel army floated in the city of Kochi, and Wang Xu's prestige reached its peak, which was Wang Xu's means of grabbing people's hearts, and at the same time, the most inhumane day was about to kick off.

Nanxi House, underground secret room

Jiurin Nanxi listened to the shadow guard report all the information and communicated with Su Han'er.

"This Wang Xu is a general, maybe he can be used by us." Su Han'er put forward an opinion.

"Indeed, I thought they would break the city in two days, but I didn't expect it to be broken in one day, and they used means to minimize the sacrifice." Jiurin Nanxi also sighed.

"You'll be attacking Guancheng in the next few days, are you ready for the Blood Sacrifice Spirit Gathering Array?" Su Han'er asked.

"Well, tomorrow the pharmacy will also be robbed, I'll go fishing in troubled waters to get some medicinal materials, don't think about going, stay honest with me, you have to go out, even if you are a strong person, you can't win these thousands of people, and when the time comes, you will be ruined, I can't save you."

As soon as Su Han'er wanted to say that she would follow, she was ordered to be grounded, and she couldn't help pouting.
