Chapter Ninety-Two: Soul Seizure
Early the next morning, before the white fog dissipated, the Xianbei cavalry had already appeared in the field of vision of the Swiss army.
"Alert!"
With the order of the defending generals, the soldiers of the Northern Route Army who were having breakfast threw down their dishes and chopsticks and took up their weapons. The war has been going on for so many days, and everyone has long been accustomed to such a state of existence, and various preparations for war have become conditioned reflexes.
In the mist, the enemy approached quickly in a loose formation, and the Flying Fire Driftstone also roared from the air. The battle went straight to the heat from the start.
"Damn, the enemy is crazy. On the wall of the Giant Spirit Pass, Tan Ying, the deputy commander of the Northern Route Army, cursed in a low voice.
After learning yesterday's information, all the Swiss generals thought that the enemy would wait seven or eight days for their reinforcements to arrive before attacking the city in a big way. This also means that the Swiss army, which has suffered heavy casualties, can also have a rare time to recuperate. Unexpectedly, as soon as the morning dawned, the enemy's offensive turned out to be even more fierce than yesterday. The Swiss army's rest and recuperation plan was in vain.
In the big tent of the Central Army of the Northern Route Army, a group of Rui generals were discussing. The enemy suddenly changed his cautious style and put on a desperate decisive battle posture with great vigour. The rest of the flying stone carts were all gathered together to attack vigorously, and the siege troops also poured in waves of more than 100,000 people. Such an offensive really made the Swiss generals a little incomprehensible.
"What does Murong Duo mean by this, is he afraid that Murong Lie will come and rob him of his credit, so he wants to capture the Giant Spirit Pass in advance?"
"Probably not. Murong Duo is not only the commander of the Long Kingdom, but also the third prince of the Long Kingdom. With his status of being above 10,000 people under one person, all the credit is a floating cloud. Breaking through the Giant Spirit Pass as soon as possible was originally the purpose of Murong Duo's visit this time, so although today's offensive was abrupt, it was not unexpected. ”
"Well, that's true, but there's another possibility. The seventh prince of Longguo died in Murong Duo's camp, and if such a big thing happened, even if Murong Kuo didn't say anything, he would feel uncomfortable in his heart. In order to mend this rift, Murong Duo naturally had to work harder than before to make up for it! Didn't you notice that the enemy had been attacking quite fiercely in the past few days? Today it was just a little more fierce. ”
......
A group of Rui generals took advantage of the gap in formulating the battle plan to discuss one after another, speculating about Murong Duo's intentions in the camp opposite from all angles.
"Yes, yes, you're right. But what is the use of you guessing like this?" Lei Leopard glared unceremoniously and said: "If the enemy attacks like this, the pressure on the city defense is too great, and the cavalry of our left guard will have to move." Moreover, the enemy pressed up so much at once, conservatively estimated that there were 100,000 of them, and we couldn't go out less, and we had to dispatch all of them as soon as we were dispatched. The enemy's way of fighting is simply not to give us a chance to breathe, so that our cavalry does not even have a chance to take turns to rest. ”
"Well, the detonator belt makes sense. We originally wanted to hold on and wait for reinforcements, but the enemy wanted to force our cavalry to go out and fight, and not give us a chance to hold on and wait for help. I think that Murong Duo's old fox should have played this wishful thinking. Someone chimed in.
In the discussion of everyone's words, the thoughts of the top brass of the Swiss army are getting closer and closer to the truth. Of course, the seven Demon Sect masters had already arrived ahead of schedule, and they could never have dreamed of this thing, so although the thoughts of the top leaders of the Swiss Army were infinitely close to the truth, there was still a deviation. From beginning to end, they had been speculating on Murong Duo's intentions from a conventional point of view, but they didn't expect Murong Duo to have a big game this time.
The reason why Murong Duo attacked the city with all his might was to force all the cavalry of the left guard of the Central Army out of the city, and then use seven masters of the Demon Sect to wipe out the senior generals of the left guard, so that all the formations of the cavalry of the Rui Kingdom were paralyzed. The Rui cavalry who have lost the protection of the formation is equivalent to a tiger whose claws have been pulled out, no matter how many people there are, there are 200,000 invincible Xianbei troops on their side, and a day's rush can make them completely lose their combat effectiveness. The cavalry of the Rui Kingdom was disabled, and they could no longer get out of the city, and it was just around the corner to break through the Giant Spirit Pass.
Moreover, if you force all the cavalry of Rui Kingdom out, you can also avenge Murong Changfeng as soon as possible, and then you can send Murong Mingyue back as soon as possible. With the experience of Murong Changfeng, Murong Duo is now frightened, for fear that he will make another mistake. He knew that his second brother's sentence of the little hair that came to see him was really not a joke. Murong Mingyue is a well-known Xianbei flower on the grassland, and it is the absolute pearl of Murong Kuo's palm, and there is no room for accidents. And Murong Duo also loves this niece, and he doesn't want her to have any accidents from the perspective of family affection.
For the morning, the battle was in full swing.
Knowing that the ninth princess Murong Mingyue personally went to the border pass to avenge her brother, the morale of the army of the Long Kingdom was unprecedentedly high and unprecedentedly crazy. On the one hand, this is due to the desire to mourn the victory of the soldiers, and on the other hand, it is due to the beauty effect. The weak beauty who captivated the country and the city, the pearl of His Majesty the Emperor, actually came to the front of the two armies to avenge her brother, this legendary sad story through the ages deeply incited the blood of the Xianbei warriors. They charged frantically, climbed walls frantically, launched flying stones frantically, and frantically gathered heavy troops into the battlefield, and had the posture of taking the giant spirit pass in one fell swoop without waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
The Giant Spirit Pass, which has stood for hundreds of years, swayed under the enemy's frantic attack, and the defenders of the Rui Kingdom on the city wall suffered countless casualties.
In the Giant Spirit Pass, He Ming quickly assembled the left guard cavalry and deployed combat missions. On the school field where the north wind was howling, the young deputy commander's eyes were bloodshot, but his expression was not flustered.
"Brethren, I know that you are fighting continuously, and it is very hard. But the enemy outside the city, who has no walls to rely on and no crossbow arrows to support, they are more difficult than us. It is said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and those enemies who come all the way to invade can maintain today's fierce spirit, and we, the Swiss soldiers who defend the country, should be even more brave. At the moment, the enemy has been attacking all morning, and it is already the end of the crossbow. Everyone cheer up and rush out of the city to crush the enemy's siege troops, so that these jackals can appreciate the power of our Ruiguo Iron Cavalry!"
"Kill, kill!" shouted the 80,000 cavalrymen of the Kingdom of Eighty Thousand in unison.
Repelling the enemy at the lowest cost and defeating its sharpness was the operational objective formulated by the Swiss army's top brass after a morning of discussion. With the rumbling sound of war drums, several city gates opened at the same time, and the Ruiguo Iron Cavalry rushed out.
Mo Cong carried the horse king knife on his back and mixed with thousands of troops. He had just left the city and was lining up, when a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. It felt like I was being targeted by something, and I felt uncomfortable.
What's the situation?
Mo Cong looked left and right in surprise, and finally fixed his gaze on a large area of enemy troops in the northwest direction of the battlefield. There are a few masters lurking in those enemy armies, and they are definitely not masters in the ordinary sense.
He was thinking about this, but he saw that a large area of enemy troops in the northwest had already charged in this direction from a distance. At the same time, the nearby enemies saw that the gate was open, and they also frantically rushed over. Mo Cong hurriedly bent his bow and shot a few enemies, then put away his longbow and pulled out the Mawang sword, and together with his comrades, he fended off the enemies who came up like a tide.
With the sound of clanging weapons, the large area of enemy troops in the northwest direction rushed closer and closer, and the distance was quickly shortened from more than 300 zhang to 200 zhang.
The Northern Route Army on the city wall also quickly discovered the large area of the enemy that was rapidly charging over, and Xu Shiqian, the commander of the Northern Route Army, urgently ordered the Northern Route Army to adjust the shooting of the city defense crossbow and stone throwing machine, and when the enemy entered the best range, he would directly fire a salvo.
Two hundred zhang.
One hundred and eighty zhang.
One hundred and fifty zhang.
With Xu Shiqian's order, thousands of crossbows in the Giant Spirit City were fired in unison, and the black-pressed crossbow branches were overwhelmingly enveloping the large area of enemy troops.
Puff puff puff
The large area of enemy troops rushing to the northwest was instantly knocked down by a third, and the rest of the men and horses rushed even more frantically under the city walls.
After a creaking sound, the city defense crossbow fired another volley, and various types of stone throwers also fired stone bullets one after another.
In this way, after two rounds of offensives, more than half of the enemy troops had been killed or wounded, but the momentum of their charge was even more tenacious.
The distance between the two sides is getting shorter and shorter in this blow and charge.
As the enemy got closer and closer, Mo Cong's previous uncomfortable feeling became stronger and stronger. He could now clearly distinguish that there were a total of seven masters hidden in that enemy army, and this uncomfortable feeling came from those seven masters.
Seven masters.
Yesterday, Lei Leopard just told Mo Cong that the Long Kingdom had sent seven Demon Sect masters, and today there were immediately seven masters who were different from ordinary people in the enemy camp.
"The people of the Demon Sect are coming so fast!" Mo Cong thought to himself. "With so many people on the battlefield, how did they lock themselves in the first place?"
In a flash, the enemy got closer and closer.
Fifty zhang...
Twenty zhang ......
Ten Zhang......
With a buzz, Mo Cong felt something hit him hard in the depths of his head, and for a moment, Mo Cong's mind suddenly went blank.
What is so weird? Mo Cong was horrified. He quickly shook his head, using his true qi to keep his mind clear.
"%&*%¥%!"
The Demon Sect master on the opposite side was also taken aback. What they had just used was a high-level secret technique of the Demon Sect, called Soul Capture. This kind of secret technique is unleashed, and those who fall into the trick will be dazed and sleepy, and at worst they will become idiots. The seven of them worked together, thinking that Mo Cong would be an idiot directly, and then he could use a restraint traction to catch him directly. Unexpectedly, Mo Cong was just confused for a moment, and he regained consciousness in an instant.
What the hell is this person doing? How can he have such a great resistance to the secret technique of the Demon Sect? The seven Demon Sect masters exchanged glances in an instant, and puzzled expressions appeared on their faces.
At this time
"Walk you!"
Mo Cong swung his knife and slashed at the enemy in front of him, took out a feather arrow and put it on the string, and shot it out with real strength.
Whoosh, a black light pierced the sky and headed straight for the seven Demon Sect masters. The closer you get to the target, the stronger the sound of the black light breaking through the sky, and it is obvious that it is under strong resistance.
“¥%&*¥&%&!”
A Demon Sect master said something, and his handprint flipped over. The speed of the black light slowed and slowed, and finally returned to the form of a feathered arrow. With a sneering sound of breaking through the air, the cluster of feathered arrows suddenly burst into flames. The fire suddenly began and stopped, and the whole arrow quickly turned to ashes.
"Who shot this arrow, so powerful?" He Ming glanced at it in a hurry, and couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the amazing power of that feather arrow.
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a figure rise in the air and pounce directly on a large area of enemies.
