Chapter 334: Siege
The sun is like fire, and the sound of horses' hooves is pressing.
About 3,000 soldiers, under the leadership of Wu Feng, rushed towards the three cities of Bansheng.
There are only 400 combat forces left in the Wufeng base camp for defense.
The coalition army is menacing, and the forces of the Wufeng Alliance do not dare to provide support, and it is a great luck that they did not collude with the coalition like the three cities of Bansheng.
The soldiers were very puzzled that Wu Feng not only did not go back to the Wind Valley to meet the enemy, but instead went to attack the three cities of Bansheng, which were allied with their own.
Wu Feng just calmly told them: "The three cities colluded with the enemy, and the evidence is conclusive. ”
He added: "The enemy army has not yet arrived, and the direction of the Return Wind Valley will not be breached." Within one day, Ziwei City will be broken. ”
The soldiers still had doubts, but seeing that Wu Feng was so sure, they all plucked up confidence.
In the battle of Qinghao Beach, Wu Feng had already created a miracle, so they were looking forward to following in Wu Feng's footsteps and creating a second miracle.
Luo Tingyu whispered to Wu Feng: "Holy Lord Big Brother, the three cities have formed a crane wing, Ziwei is in the middle, the largest number of troops, and with his back to the cliff, not only is it difficult to attack, once it is attacked, the other two cities will come to support, and our army will be very disadvantaged...... Why don't you cut off its wings first......"
Wu Feng just said lightly: "The enemy army is massing towards the Return Wind Valley. If you don't have enough time, you can only take the head first. If Ziwei is broken, the remaining two cities will fall. ”
The three cities are located in the vast plains south of the five peaks of Caohai, forming an inverted triangular structure, the southernmost part of Ziwei City, has been close to the remaining veins of the Luliang Mountains, so there are mountain cliffs protruding behind.
The three Bansheng cities were all castles, most of which were city soldiers, and the people were scattered outside the city.
Wu Feng ordered that ordinary people should not be violated, livestock should not be looted, and tent houses should not be burned. But if there is arable land ahead, trample it directly.
Some people looked at the Wufeng army from afar and cried because their crops were destroyed by horses' hooves.
Wu Feng ordered the gongs and drums to be played. The archer fires arrows into the air as a sign of deterrence.
The people were terrified and fled.
This is war.
Wu Feng had compassion for the Li people, but the march was like fighting a fire, and the longer the journey, the more tired the soldiers became. Before the victory over the negative, there can be no woman's kindness.
The army marched quickly in a long snake formation, and soon arrived at the foot of Ziwei City, spreading out to both sides.
Ziwei City is backed by a purple cliff, and the city walls are also pure purple in color, revealing a sense of luxury.
Thick smoke rose from the city, which was a signal from Ziwei City to the other two cities.
On the city wall, there is a woman in colorful clothes standing brightly, and she is glamorous.
She wears a phoenix hairpin on her head. The ears are hanging with the bright moon, the feet are on the clouds, the skirt is tied with a bean green palace silk, and the body is graceful. The skin is as smooth as satin, and Danfeng's eyes are flowing away, like a spiritual charm.
"It turned out to be the big boss of Wufeng. In the face of the heavenly soldiers surging up from under the city, Yue Shi still smiled elegantly and charmingly: "The Golden Horde Coalition is obviously in the north, what are you doing when you mobilize people to come to our Ziwei City?"
Wu Feng said indifferently: "Miss Yueshi knows it in her own heart. Since the secret communication coalition army. It's no wonder that we strike first. ”
The city was heavily flagped and soldiers gathered. It can be seen that for the leakage of news, Wufeng has long been prepared for the possibility of coming to attack, and the soldiers have been summoned to the city.
Yue Shi's face finally changed: "What is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime? The big boss probably knows that Wufeng can't hold it, and wants to occupy the foundation of our Bansheng Three Cities." ”
She waved her hand violently: "Archer, release the arrow!"
The rain of arrows rained down from the city like a torrential downpour.
The shield men at the front were already prepared. They raised their shields one after another to cover the army.
The spearmen raised their guns to the sky, the guns were like dense forests, the true qi was agitated, and the sharp arrows were smashed and invisible. Or wash away.
Wu Feng gave an order, and the crossbowmen, under the cover of the shield soldiers, shot sharp arrows in a neat and orderly manner, and the arrows fell towards the city.
The walls of Ziwei City are not high, and there is no protection from the martial soul array, and the penetration of the crossbow is strong, although it is unfavorable to shoot high from a low place, but there are also screams from time to time at the head of the city, and the enemy archers are hit by arrows and fall down the wall.
Wu Feng obtained a lot of gold, silver, pearls and jade from the Arctic Underground Palace, and after several months of preparation, the equipment of the Wufeng soldiers has been greatly improved, and they are equipped with a large number of powerful crossbows. In comparison, the three cities of Bansheng are much poorer.
Yueshi retreated from the city wall and stood side by side with a woman in a black veil, directing the battle.
When the fire was at a fever pitch, the gates of the city were suddenly opened, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out like a tide.
Wu Feng ordered the whole army to retreat in an orderly manner, and the prepared cavalry team interspersed and killed in the gaps left by themselves, quickly lined up in formation, and fought with the knights on the opposite side.
Wu Feng, Ji Biyue, Ye Huiling, the Qi family brothers and sisters, the lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Demon Yuekong and other masters all fought bravely to kill the enemy, but Luo Tingyu and He Qianying led the soldiers on both wings to hold the line.
Yue Shi also personally floated out, not riding a horse, but as if floating on the ground, dancing in the wind, instantly beating a five-peak knight to skulls and planting it from the horse.
The woman wearing the black veil did not kill, but was still in the city, and when she pointed lightly, there were flags dancing in the city, directing the course of the battle, and it seemed orderly.
The knights of the Five Peaks are well-equipped, but they have come from afar and are tired. And the cavalry of Ziwei City, which fought outside the city, has been sharp for a long time.
There was a big battle between the two sides, each with casualties, and the Ziwei City side accepted it when it saw it and retreated to the city.
Reinforcements from Taiwei City and Tianshi City soon arrived.
However, on both flanks, Luo Tingyu and He Qianying were already in full array, the shield soldiers and spearmen were on guard, and the crossbowmen and archers were raining arrows, making it difficult for the enemy troops with superior forces to approach.
The two cities of Taiwei and Tianshi each have a thousand troops, but it is impossible to come out. The soldiers of the two cities are not as good as the elite of Ziwei City, and the city lords of these two cities are also hesitant to betray the covenant and plot against Wufeng, and the soldiers are also greedy for life and afraid of death, so it seems difficult to advance.
Wu Feng ordered his soldiers to climb the city with ladders, and some soldiers formed a small formation and directly bombarded the stone wall with spears, causing the wall to crumble.
The stone wall, which lacks the protection of the martial soul formation, is jointly attacked with true qi, as long as there is a person with a higher cultivation to preside, there is a possibility of collapse.
However, Ziwei City is not without formations, and there are weak spiritual veins in the city, which can be used to provide some protection on the city wall. When attacking, there is a faint blue glow.
The soldiers in the city also mobilized the power of the formation to stabilize the stone walls.
The soldiers of Wufeng have a very high trust in Wu Feng, believing that Wu Feng can create miracles, and they are not afraid of death one by one, and bravely attack the city.
But most of the soldiers in Bansheng City are outlaws, knowing that once the city is broken, they will become ghosts under the sword, and they are also very hard at defending the city.
The black-veiled woman also had very high command skills, and the dispatch was as mellow as water, delicate and subtle, and the ladders broke off one after another where the spears were stabbed in the city.
Ziwei City lacked boulders, fire oil and other materials for defending the city, but the Wufeng army marched lightly, and also lacked large siege weapons such as catapults, only cloud ladders, and the siege of the city also seemed to be stretched.
Coupled with the hot summer, which affected the combat state, the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides was naturally limited, intermittent, from noon to dusk.
On the one hand, he had to block the reinforcements of Taiwei and Tianshi, and on the other hand, he had to command the siege of the city, and Wu Feng did not play badly in command. But the black-gauze masked military advisor in the city was also quite skillful, and he defended the city without leaking, so that Wufeng Fang had no way to take advantage of it.
In the end, Wu Feng was helpless and ordered Luo Tingyu and He Qianying to guard both sides, Mingjin withdrew his troops, and retreated north.
The cavalry in Ziwei City went out to kill a round of killing, and achieved certain results, beheading more than 30 people, and Wufeng Fang discarded a large number of weapons, armor, and banners to the ground.
In this siege battle, the Wufeng army left a total of more than 160 corpses, which was equivalent to half of the number of dead in the Battle of Qinghaotan.
Many of the Wufeng soldiers who had high confidence in Wu Feng became depressed.
Their expressions were captured by the soldiers of Ziwei City, and they all showed smug laughter.
Yue Shi smiled at the black veil masked female military master, like a crystal fairy blooming: "Everything is as my sister expected, although Wu Feng has some means, what is my Ziwei City?"
The masked woman said lightly: "This battle has been frustrated, and the enemy army will no longer dare to try the three cities, so it will definitely leave a part of the troops to contain us and throw most of the troops into the Valley of the Wind." We only need to recharge our strength, and when the enemy in the direction of the Returning Wind Valley is exhausted, we will break through the blockade in one fell swoop and wipe out the five peaks of the Sea of Grass. ”
Yueshi nodded and said, "Yes, tonight is enough to hold a banquet to celebrate." ”
A gust of evening wind blew, and the black scarf of the masked woman was rolled up, and she saw that her complexion was like snow and smoke, and her expression was elegant.
It was Mei Yingxue. (To be continued......)
