Chapter 172: The Day the City Breaks
"Ride the wind! Knock them out! Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Si Qianhan hurriedly raised his hand and formed an ice shield in front of him to protect the siege troops behind him, and at the same time blocked the rain of arrows in front of him.
"Got it, Master Si, my subordinates are targeting." A little girl who followed the wind in the sky made a gesture, and a silver-white light flashed between her index fingers, heading straight for the Crystal Soul Masters, and in an instant, she pierced through the head of a Crystal Soul Scholar who had not noticed the heavens.
The latter had a small hole in her head, and before she could react, she fell straight down, and the flame in her hand was extinguished in an instant, which also attracted the attention of many people at this time, and many archers and long-range attacking crystal soul people attacked several people in the air.
"You push up for a while, I'll pull away a little first." After Gong Chengfeng finished speaking, the Crystal Soul Collector with a few long-range attacks released a few skills and fled away, and his figure disappeared without a trace.
"Withdraw first, it's good that we don't lose anything in this wave, and their Flame Crystal Soul Warriors will have one less, and we'll attack later." Si Qianhan saw that Gong Chengfeng had no figure, and several Flame Crystal Soul Masters were still attacking the cold ice staircase, and if they continued to roast like this, the cold ice staircase collapsed, and the siege team above was all about to fall to death.
Si Qianhan, who had withdrawn, condensed his shield to block the arrows flying down from the city wall, while waiting for the returning Gong Chengfeng, and after less than a quarter of an hour, Gong Chengfeng slowly landed.
"I'm lost, what do you say you're running, aren't I staring at it in front?" Si Qianhan was dissatisfied.
"First, your stairs are getting faster, you can clear them better than me. Second, we did attract a lot of firepower, and it was normal for us to evacuate first. Third, the attack on the Tanglin side did not go well, and we lost a few skills over there. Fourth, although the first wave of Tanglin was a bit miserable, it still has a lot of combat power, let them consume and consume, and the progress on our side does not need to be too fast. Gong Chengfeng said.
"Oh, well, it's all down anyway, let's wait and fight." Si Qianhan is also very open, and he didn't plan to take down Qizhou Mansion in one day, so it's not impossible to spend it like this.
In this attitude, the two of them took a group of people up and down until dawn, and then let the first group of siege teams go back to rest. And the Qizhou army on the city wall was confused, although they almost hit it every time, but they just refused to take this step, but were keen to kill a few crystal souls on their side, and they were not greedy every time, just hit and run.
Therefore, although the head of the city on their side was almost lost several times, they were able to defend it in the end, and except for the Crystal Soul Ones, there were almost no casualties among the ordinary soldiers. In contrast, the Tanglin side was quite miserable, starting from midnight until dawn, a series of seven waves of attacks, stunned but not defeated, and finally could only temporarily withdraw troops to rest.
"With 3,000 casualties overnight, if we continue to fight like this, Tanglin may collapse without us fighting." Li Feiqiu was very happy when he looked at the information that came.
"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, if you hadn't asked us to consume as much as possible and preserve our strength, we would have been able to directly defeat Qizhou Mansion last night." Si Qianhan finally returned to the camp.
"That's it, don't play it off, if Tanglin is really defeated, Qizhou will deal with us with all its might, and we really can't fight." Yang Ziyu said.
"Calm, I just read the intelligence, now the veterans of Tanglin are almost gone, now they are all new recruits, it looks like they have just been recruited, and there are a lot of female soldiers here, on the other hand, we not only did not have much loss here, but absorbed a lot of prisoners, and then hit Tanglin not only to win Jiuping Pass, but even possible to directly take the entire Tanglin." Li Feiqiu completely relaxed at this moment, "Okay, it will take two more days, in addition, pay attention to the momentum of Tanglin, if Donglin can't hold on, remember to pull them." ”
"Your heart is so dark." Yang Ziyu complained.
"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, no." Li Feiqiu said, "Besides, didn't Tanglin ask for it?" I want Jiupingguan again, I want Qizhou again, and I want to be dizzy, but as long as they can use their brains, they will not have this kind of daydreaming behavior. ”
So, under Li Feiqiu's arrangement, Jiuping's attack was like a family, divided into three groups of people to attack the city every day, the intensity was not large, but the frequency was very high, for three days in a row, without stopping at all. The defenders at the head of the city and Si Qianhan collapsed, although the siege team was divided into three shifts, but Si Qianhan really never rested, although there were recovery and healing crystal soul people, but there was really no way to recover the psychological exhaustion.
"Yo, you're back? Who's that, let's recover. Just when Si Qianhan was out again, Li Feiqiu asked the Crystal Soul Restoration Collector to come over to restore her physical strength and energy as usual, and at the same time, she also started her treatment.
"No, no, I'm going to die, I can't come again, I can't stand it......" Si Qianhan said weakly while lying on the ground of the camp.
"There's an ambiguity in what you're saying." Li Feiqiu said as she activated the set.
"............Uhh
"If you insist on holding on to it, the next wave will be a general attack, or should I let Gong Chengfeng lead the troops to the city? Anyway, the Crystal Soul Warriors are gone, so it should be easy to fight now. Li Feiqiu said.
"No way!" Si Qianhan sat up abruptly, "You tell me clearly first, when will the general attack begin?" If I don't say it, I won't go. ”
"Tonight, just tonight, Tanglin is really unbearable, so tonight is the most suitable." Li Feiqiu said.
"Then I'll take a nap and remember to call me when I call." Si Qianhan said, his eyes closed, and he couldn't hear anything.
……
"Your Highness, we can't stand it, you should leave quickly." Shen Xuan persuaded him.
"No need, I don't have anywhere to go." Shen Jian was a lot calmer at this time, it had been almost two months since the war began, and now he had completely seen it, and the situation on the battlefield had changed a little faster than he had imagined.
From the time of the complete rout on the southern front, he made a wrong judgment and sent only 2,000 people to Jiuping's mouth. Next, what he should do is to stop the loss in time, shrink the superior forces back for defense, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, but he once again pulled these 5,000 people out to attack Jiuping. Naturally, these 5,000 people were also annihilated by Jiuping.
At this point, his southern front completely collapsed, which triggered a chain reaction, and the eastern front was immediately broken, and finally had to be trapped in the lonely city to make a final struggle. But in the past few days, he has also seen through that Jiuping is not suffering heavy losses as in their intelligence at all, but still has spare strength.
"Your Highness, Tanglin and Jiuping have already shown their decline, and if we hold out for a few more days, we will have a chance to counterattack." Shen Xuan said.
"Jiuping? Decline? Shen Jian laughed, "Look at it, tonight, the South City Gate will be broken, and we can't stand it." ”
"Your Highness, we can transfer the soldiers guarding the east gate......"
"It's useless, we've lost too much in the past few days. Even if all of them are transferred out, there are only thousands of people who can fight, and even if they are all used to prevent Jiuping, they can't be prevented. Shen Jian breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "That's it, you and I have been for many years, it's better to join the Yin Lord early, Jiuping is actually a good choice." ”
"General Shen, please." Shen Jian closed his eyes, and a beautiful woman walked out, motioning for Shen Xuan to leave.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, I ......" Shen Xuan wanted to say something, but the beautiful woman smiled and shook her head.
"I know, just like the prince said, so be it. In addition, His Royal Highness wants to see the other party's commander, and when the city is broken, please be sure to let this person come to the palace. ”
"Yes, I see." Shen Xuan nodded.
"In addition, what the prince said is right, Shen Huaiyu is indeed a yin master, and it is better to vote for her than for Shen Ling."
"I will." Shen Xuan nodded and walked to the south city wall, although the situation Shen Jian said was different from the previous information, but Shen Jian's vision was much more spicy, for the judgment he made, Shen Xuan still believed it, and in the past three days, although she was injured by Su Yujing and Cen Yin, but she also succeeded in making the two of them incapable of fighting in a short period of time, and guarding the south city gate at this time will not make the east city gate too dangerous.
