Chapter 760: Chen Qingzhi's cunning

Jiaocheng, located in the west of Suzaku Dacheng more than 40 miles, is in the Suzaku Dacheng to reach the Xiangshui Zhiwharf on the straight official road, it can be said that this is the west gate of Suzaku Dacheng, the architectural pattern of Jiaocheng is T-shaped, once existed as a fortress on the periphery of Suzaku Dacheng, so there are perfect city defense measures.

In the entire defense of Suzaku City, Jiaocheng is the outermost key node of the defense line, so there is a full number of divisions stationed here, if you count a large number of conscripted young and strong people's army, it is no less than 40,000 people, fortunately, Jiaocheng is not too small.

In the entire defense of Jiaocheng, Chen Qingzhi, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Rock Legion, was appointed as the deputy general of the defense of Jiaocheng, but Chen Qingzhi could really control the strength of only one brigade, and it was the new recruits of the brigade that he brought to Chuxi.

The walls of the Horn City are just like the name, from mid-air, the west side looks like a wide hammer, and the middle and east sides are like a grip, and the whole west city is the east and west, the confluence of the two official roads in the north and south, so the whole city looks like a T-shape, and the whole hammer is facing the west, that is, the main direction of the Holy Church's attack.

The main general stationed in Jiaocheng is the in-laws of the Huang family, and naturally he is in the same nest as the Huang family, so he is unhappy with Leng Zhuo's entire newly rising power from the bottom of his heart, and naturally, Chen Qingzhi, the general recommended by Leng Zhuo, was also attacked and sent to guard Xicheng.

I have to say that this person borrowed a knife to kill people and played very openly, so that you can't say that you have suffering, but fortunately, Chen Qingzhi is not the kind of incompetent general, not to mention that he carried the defense of Xicheng, not only was he killed by the knife of the Holy Sect, but he made Xicheng solid, but on the contrary, there were frequent accidents in the north and south.

The general of Chengnan who escaped this time was Zheng Yuan's trusted confidant, but it was obvious that he had been frightened in the fierce attack and defense for most of the month.

Pang Juan took the order and left without mentioning it, but Chen Qingzhi's eyes were still as sharp as an eagle's falcon staring at the Holy Sect Army in front of him like a big wave, and not long after he gave the order, behind the Holy Sect Army, hundreds of catapults threw boulders one after another, smashing them into Jiaocheng.

Just read the novel~

The catapult "shoots" a parabola, so it is difficult to calculate the target, so the lethality is not large, but in the face of hundreds of boulders falling from the sky and whistling and flying, there are very few people who can maintain a normal heart, even those veterans who have long been accustomed to blood and have the best quality in their hearts, in the face of the roaring boulders, their blood will spurt out, and their whole bodies can't help but tremble.

Flesh and blood are so small in front of the cold boulder, people are not dead things after all, so they will be afraid, they will be afraid.

Peng, a boulder threw a little low, fell down in advance, but did not cross the city wall but directly smashed on the city wall, this boulder was originally selected those rather angular boulders, this smash, but directly smashed the wall, so that the entire city wall trembled.

The huge crack has spread to the battlement, and the nearby city wall finally couldn't withstand the impact, and collapsed down, in the past half a month, the boulder alone was about to pile up a "chaotic" stone forest under the city, and the wall of the corner city was even more damaged under this impact.

A boulder swept over the top of the city wall like a meteor, hiding under the battlement, the veteran in the pile of corpses glanced up, but he retracted his gaze expressionlessly, peeked through the edge of the battlement, glanced out, and quickly shrank back, and there was some effort.

"This group of grandchildren, they must be good-looking later!"

"Old wolf, counting the three I killed yesterday, I have already killed seventeen, how many of you have!"

"Hmph, nineteen, two more than you! If you want to win me, you won't have any drama in your life!"

"Hehe, don't be complacent, I'll surpass you today! That rookie over there, what are you trembling about, don't worry, the stone can't hit you, unless your kid does something immoral, and he will be bloody!"

"I haven't done anything immoral, and I'm not afraid at all, I'm just a little excited!" said the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a stiff mouth.

"Haha, excited, scared, scared, and no one laughs at you, the 'pee' pants you didn't scare about are much stronger than Lao Tzu and me, this stone rain will be gone, and when facing that group of Holy Sect turtle grandsons, there will be nothing!"

"You just came up today, and you will follow me and the old wolf later, don't be afraid, that group of turtle grandsons is far from you, you don't even have a guy in your hand, and you don't have armor on your body, as long as you see it, you can cut it down fiercely, and you can kill one by one, kill three or five, and you will get used to it!"

"The Holy Sect army is coming up, blow the horn, and call the brothers to come up!" the old wolf said to his accomplices, glancing at the militia young man out of the corner of his eye, hoping that he could survive, although those Holy Sect grandsons were very weak, but they couldn't stand the crowd, not to mention those wells, the arrows that were "shot" from above were called trouble, not to mention that the opposing army was not all incompetent guys.

Woo woo, melodious horn sounds over the horn city, hiding in the hidden soldier cave, and the chatting and farting soldiers at the foot of the city wall have poured up the stone stairs to the city wall.

"All cats lower their waists, fast, fast, don't stop!"

"Archers, aim and shoot for me! And the crossbowmen over there, wind me up and aim at those wells!

Above the city, a battalion of lieutenants is giving orders in an orderly manner, arranging recruits to every place, this offensive and defensive battle, not only the training ground of the Holy Religion, but also the training ground of the Empire, a large number of recruits on this battlefield are like nymphs turning into cocoons, rapidly degenerating and maturing, becoming veterans, and the price is at least half of the casualties.

Compared with the elimination rate of the Holy Cult Army, the emperor ** undoubtedly occupies some geographical advantages, and at the same time, the number of recruits is only more than 20%, and under the leadership of veterans, half of the loss is already very good.

Chen Qingzhi understands very well that Jiaocheng will be lost sooner or later, so he focuses on the tempering of recruits, although he is the deputy general of the defenders, but he can only control the soldiers and horses of a brigade, so in every battle, Chen Qingzhi will falsely report the loss, and then ask to make up for it, because Xicheng fights fiercely every day, so Chen Qingzhi's request will rarely be refuted.

So the 15,000 militia in the city were transferred five or six hundred today, seven or eight hundred were transferred tomorrow, and at least 10,000 people were sent to the head of the city for a brutal exercise of life and death, and according to Chen Qingzhi's order, the recruits killed three people in the city before they could go down to the city to rest, and then wait for the wheel platoon, and almost once in two days, they would go to the head of the city, and if they did not go to the city, they would dig tunnels.

Chen Qingzhi's 5,000 soldiers and horses, at this time, the old foundation has lost nearly three or four percent, but in fact, the soldiers and horses in his hands are not less, but there are more than three or four thousand, and they are all blood on the head of the knife.

"General Di, the well outside the city is going to trouble you!" Chen Qingzhi summoned Di Qing and said instructively.

Di Qing was dressed in blood-red armor, with a blood-colored cloak on his back, his body was clean, and his face was even fairer and handsome, standing in the city gate tower, looking at the well that was pushed over in the distance, but he chuckled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Don't worry about leaving it to me!"

Di Qing replied easily, speaking of which, these days have been guarded, but there is half of Di Qing's credit, Di Qing himself only has the strength of the middle level of the earth spirit, which is not strong, but the demonic beast mount that Di Qing subdued is a bull fork, which is the ghost golden sheep of one of the twenty-eight star beasts of the Tang Army.

The ghost golden sheep, the double-headed horns are like two holy soldiers, just one sweep, can draw an extremely sharp blade, can easily split a huge stone with a width of the zhang, under the knife edge, extremely smooth.

The well is just tied with a large wood, covered with cowhide and other hard animal skins, so that it can block bows and crossbows, and is not even afraid of fire oil, but in the face of the ghost golden sheep's double-horned holy knife, it is swept down, so that it does not dare to lean against the city easily.

With Di Qing sitting on the city wall, the threat of the well can be minimized, but after suffering a few losses, the Holy Sect rarely pushes the well directly to the city, but stops a hundred meters away, and then uses the bed crossbow set up on the well to condescendingly "shoot" at the head of the city, this distance, Di Qing's ghost gold knife can't be split at all, but the strong crossbow can "shoot" over, but only with the bed crossbow "shoot" the attack, the probability of use is not high, and the loss can be fully bearable.

As always, the well was stopped a hundred meters away, not daring to take a step forward, and then the platform fence above the well was lowered, "exposed" four bed crossbows, three below, and one on a wooden frame, after being in place, the bed crossbow on the well began to "shoot" at the head of the city.

Compared to the catapult without an accurate head, the lethality of this crossbow is undoubtedly stronger, and before the Holy Sect soldiers under the city came to kill, the defenders at the head of the city were almost suppressed and did not dare to raise their heads, and they were all behind the battlements.

With a bang, a crossbow arrow rubbed the edge of the battlement and nailed directly to the middle of the city, directly breaking the green brick, the arrow did not enter, and the tail of the crossbow arrow was buzzing and trembling.

Fortunately, the veterans in the city have long been accustomed to it, and although the recruits are a little "hairy", they are pressed under the battlements by the veterans and cannot move.

Peng, the Holy Sect army below the city finally came to the city, a cloud ladder was set up at the head of the city, and the hook in front of it was buckled upside down on the city, making the cloud ladder extremely stable, and then I saw the city below, dense human heads climbed up along the cloud ladder.

Poof, a recruit heard the sound of swords and armor colliding behind him, and immediately jumped up impatiently, but when he stood up, he didn't see that the Holy Sect soldier didn't count, but a strong crossbow flew in an instant, directly piercing his chest.

The recruits didn't even scream, they flew out upside down, but the veterans looked indifferently, they already knew that it would be the case, although the group of turtle grandsons of the Holy Sect were not good, but they were also a little cunning, so if they wanted to kill the enemy, they had to wait for those Holy Sect soldiers to jump on the city, so that the strong crossbow on the well would not dare to shoot at will, so they couldn't bear the "sex" and jumped out in advance, and they would only be used as targets.

"Prepare for battle!" The veterans hiding under the battlement wrapped their hands with cloth and silk, and swept towards the battlement with their backhand, and then shouted loudly, the attack and defense of the corner city was once again opened, and this was just a scene on the entire Suzaku battlefield.
