Chapter 578 - Siege
In the organ city, Momen is in full swing to prepare for the war, and at the same time, the location of this place is secretly exposed "inadvertently" through some channels.
After all, things can't be done too obviously, but with the ability of Xuantian Sect, even a little wind and grass won't take long to reach their ears.
Just when the Momen was almost ready, the people of the Xuantian Sect unsurprisingly came with the momentum and pointed directly at the Organ City!
In fact, in fact, the location of the Momen Organ City is not close to Yunzhou, but the marching speed of Xuantian Sect is extremely fast, and it breaks through one after another in the shortest possible time, subduing some towns in its path, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger!
Xuantian Sect didn't plan to make any small moves of sneak attack, since it was going to attack the stronghold of Momen, then it would definitely not work if the number of people was small, but if there were more, it would definitely leak out. Since this is the case, there is no need to cover it up, just smash the Yellow Dragon and exterminate it all!
This time, the three elders personally led the team, and the masters were exhausted, and the disciples were full of five thousand. Not only that, the army collected by Yunzhou dispatched 30,000 people this time, which shows the determination of Xuantian Sect!
As they broke through one after another along the way, getting closer and closer to the Organ City, the team of Xuantian Sect was also further expanding.
On this day, the outside of the city was covered in white clothes, and there were armor soldiers everywhere, surrounding the valley.
The four elders drummed their vitality, and their voices were like thunder, rolling out: "The remnants of the demon gate, come out and die!" β
The sound of breaking wind came, and in a blink of an eye, Lin Yan appeared on the city tower, on the left was Wang Xiaotong, the master of the Shutang Hall, Wan Xu, the master of the Poison Hall, and on the right was the main Zhan Beixuan of the Zhan Hall and Mo Xu, who was freed from the Buddhist Sect.
Although several of them were masters, in the face of the black army below, the figure seemed a little thinner, like a tiny ant that would be swallowed by the waves at any time.
Lin Yan smiled and said loudly: "Fourth Elder, you came here in person today, I don't know if the injuries on your body have healed?" β
In the battle that day, Lin Yan's knife came abruptly in the end, and all the energy burst out at close range, even with the strength of the four elders, they all paid a lot of price because of it, and even now when I think about it, I can't help but feel a little palpitations!
His eyes gradually became resentful, and there seemed to be a storm brewing inside, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shaft!" If you kill my Xuantian Sect elder, you will be paid for with blood today! β
Lin Yan spread his hands and said, "I have killed a lot of the elders of Xuantian Sect, but I don't know which of the four elders is complaining about?" β
His gaze grew cold, and he said: "Since you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed, since you Xuantian Sect wants to do it, then you must have such an awareness!" The words of the four elders seemed a little naΓ―ve! β
When the fourth elder heard this, he was about to continue to scold angrily, but a hand reached out beside him to stop him, and said, "Fourth, don't say more!" β
He turned his head to look at Lin Yan and said, "The old man is guilty, but what Xiaoyou said is reasonable!" This time, there is not so much attention, just simply want to let the demon gate return to dust, and the earth to the earth! β
"As for Xiaoyou himself, abolish his cultivation and return to Xuantian Sect with the old man to atone for his sins, or he may be able to save his life!"
Lin Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "I thought that my predecessors were sensible, but how could they say such crazy words?" β
"It's useless to say more, today's Xuantian Sect is coming with the general trend, I, Lin Yan, as a Momen junzi, will also put this life here, if you have the ability, just take it!"
"This battle will not stop!"
The Third Elder Xuan Sin sighed, as if he had some regret, and then waved his hand lightly and said, "Siege!" β
Suddenly, the 30,000 soldiers brought from Yunzhou began to line up, and the siege equipment was pushed out, and they began to storm the gate of the organ city.
The location here is in the middle of a valley, and although it has been built like an iron barrel after many years of operation by Momen, there is no such thing as an impregnable city.
Due to the special terrain, it is both an advantage and a disadvantage for Momen, as long as it can be defended, then everything has room to turn around. And once the city is broken, then their retreat will be directly blocked, and there will be no chance to retreat!
The soldiers in front of the siege still used the usual methods, in their opinion, where can a city where the forces of the rivers and lakes are entrenched compare to those big cities, and the attack is just a wave of the hand.
But what happened next was beyond their expectations, when the soldiers approached the city, there was an overwhelming rain of arrows, and then the thousand people in the vanguard were almost killed and wounded like pheasants, and only a few dozen people retreated back to Liao Liao.
This sudden dismount directly made these soldiers a little frightened! Although they were forced by the prestige of Xuantian Sect to fall under their command, Yunzhou was on the border, and these people themselves were also battle-hardened soldiers, not mediocre hands!
In fact, some generals have not been reused by the imperial court all year round, and they are stationed in such war-torn places at the border gates.
However, the cruel scene in front of them gave them a head-on blow! I thought it would be an easy battle, but I didn't expect it to just start, but it directly evolved into such a bloody scene!
In previous siege battles, even if the defending side had the advantage, they still won and lost each other, and where could there be such a situation where there were such heavy losses without seeing many enemies.
In the short moment just now, Momen did not have any damage and killed all these more than 1,000 people, but it itself was not damaged.
The third elder's voice was indifferent, and he said, "Go on." β
The leading general gritted his teeth, and then sent an army again, these people were holding shields, fully armed, and a team of more than ten people, slowly advancing towards the front.
This is a shield array, specifically aimed at the opponent's arrow rain attack, which is invincible in previous siege battles! Although it is not enough to rely on these shields to block all the arrows, it can allow most of the soldiers to advance the line under the city.
Then, with the help of the siege ladder, as long as you climb the tower, then the soldiers can be filled in a steady stream.
The so-called "Ci is not in charge of the soldiers", this general can sit in his current position, and the corporal is just a pawn in his hand, and he will not have the slightest hesitation when he should sacrifice!
Besides, where there are immortals in war, if you want to be famous and rich, you must pay the corresponding price! One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, this is not a lie!
At the same time as the shield array was slowly advancing, an overwhelming rain of arrows suddenly struck again above the city tower, and the general instinctively wanted to sneer.
The battle array can be repeated, and the same move is usually difficult to work in succession, after all, the other party is not a fool!
However, the next scene in front of him made his eyes widen, and it was full of disbelief!
At the very beginning, the shield array did block a wave of arrow rain attacks, although there were a lot of losses, but it was acceptable.
But then, things started to go wrong. I saw that dark holes suddenly appeared on the city wall, and that was ...... Artillery!
It's not that he doesn't know about this kind of war killing weapon, and even there are a lot of artillery pieces in Yunzhou City, but the number in front of him is really a bit terrifying!
On top of the originally empty city wall, a dense array of cannons suddenly appeared, numbering hundreds, and then, with a huge roar, the battlefield was overwhelmed by a dazzling burst of fire!
In fact, it was the movement of hundreds of artillery salvos, but because it was so synchronized, it sounded like a loud sound, like thunder in the ears!
The firelight dissipated, the shield array was already fragmented, the scattered shields and armor were melted by the high temperature, revealing a crimson color, and the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of scorched corpses, which was disgusting, and the scene in front of me was like purgatory on earth!
The general couldn't help but retch a little as he looked at the scene in front of him. I think that he Zhou Dong has led the troops for many years, and he can be in a high position and lead the soldiers of Yunzhou, and he also has real skills, and he has the real ability to kill step by step from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain!
However, such a strange war scene like today is the only one he has seen in his life! With just two charges, 2,000 soldiers were inexplicably killed, and they didn't even manage to break through to the city walls.
"What the hell is going on here!" Zhou Tong scolded angrily.
He couldn't figure it out, the arrows were forgotten, this artillery was something strictly controlled by the imperial court, a small city where the power of the rivers and lakes was entrenched, where did these things come from?
The third elder's indifferent voice came, and he said, "Go on." β
Zhou Tong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it after all.
Now that the Xuantian Sect is powerful, this third elder is even more notoriously moody, if he intends to disobey, then he will be sent on the road, and then let the rest of the people take over his command.
Zhou Tong gritted his teeth, and after all, he still commanded the soldiers to continue the attack. The soldiers below are not stones, they are also flesh and blood people, seeing more than 2,000 people die like this, without even making a splash, there is no fear in their hearts, it is not normal!
However, the military order is like a mountain! Don't let them charge, even if these soldiers are killed, then they can only move forward!
Zhou Dong's prestige is only one aspect, and the more important thing is that the people of Xuantian Sect are still around, even if they are worried in their hearts, there is no way to retreat!
However, after the first two waves of defeat, Zhou Tong did not rush forward, but ordered the soldiers to push the catapult up.
"Ranged attack, don't think it's only you guys!"
Today's artillery is basically fixed on the city tower, and it is not suitable for long-distance mobile attack operations, otherwise, there are many artillery pieces in Yunzhou.
However, the more direct and effective siege is the catapult, under the overwhelming throwing of huge stones, even the masters of the acquired realm will be killed or injured if they are directly hit!
If you add fire oil to it, it can cause damage and ignite a large area of the city, and after a few waves, the opponent will suffer heavy losses, and it will be much easier to attack the city.
He was indeed a little underestimated before, and if he had come up and directly used such a killing weapon, then maybe he wouldn't have suffered as much damage as before!
"It's up to you to block it this time!" A cruel smile tugged at the corner of Zhou Tong's mouth, and then he waved his hand and gave the order.
In an instant, the boulders flew up and fell towards the city, like a meteor falling from the sky!
