Chapter 279, Siege

As the saying goes, there are more than 1,000 people, covering the sky and the sun, and more than 10,000 people, there is no shore and no shore.

A hundred steps below the head of the city, the threshing soldiers in leather armor looked at a small city no more than three feet high with a cruel smile on their faces.

If it is a border pass giant city, their cavalry is really powerless, but this is only a city wall of more than three zhang, and those first-class martial arts soldiers in the threshing army can completely kill the head of the city with light skills.

This is the confidence that they dare to attack Yizi City without guards and siege equipment.

In order to prevent the news from being exposed, the threshing army scattered three hundred fast horses, wandering through various paths to prevent the news from reaching the ears of the border guards.

They had plenty of time to torment the nerves of everyone in the city.

Especially when he saw the corpses on the head of the city, which were already a little shriveled and damaged, and the familiar light horse leather armor of the threshing soldiers, it made the eyes of these threshing soldiers red.

They have always been the only threshing soldiers to kill, and they have never been humiliated like this.

This is not only the enmity of their colleagues, but also the shame of their threshing soldiers, and the shame can only be washed away with blood.

Li Chengjing looked at the somewhat messy cavalry formation outside the city, frowned, and asked General Chen, who had a dry tongue, "Why is the arrangement of these threshing soldiers so bad!" ”

When the guard general General Chen heard this, he really wanted to roll his eyes.

What's the matter, do you still want the other party's military discipline to be strict and orderly in advance and retreat?

Is it because the other side is attacking the city or is it not easy?

Although he had long expected that a person like Li Chengjing who insulted and killed the threshing soldiers would be retaliated against by the threshing soldiers, in General Chen's expectation, at most, he would attack the villages outside Yizi City around the vicinity of Yizi City.

After all, the cavalry siege is really thankless.

Even if these are all strong warriors, but with the help of the city wall to defend the city, the other party will always have to pay a certain price, and it is impossible to attack the village as easily.

In fact, the reason why General Chen has been letting Li Chengjing go is that if these threshing soldiers really come to Yizi City to take revenge, a large part of the villages around Yizi City are Tu villages, and those Tu people, who are familiar with the mountains and forests and have a fierce personality, are afraid that they will suffer a big loss with the pride of the threshing soldiers.

didn't expect them to be so strong-headed that they would directly gather so many people to attack the city directly.

However, although he was angry, he still explained to Li Chengjing: "The threshing soldiers are actually scouts, who roamed around the border pass with the speed of a small team and committed a tragedy, in order to disrupt the rear of the border army and block the transportation of grain and grass. Although they also have unified generals, the timid temperament of the Yan people will definitely not come with the threshing soldiers. There was no unified command, and they expected that. ”

Li Chengjing was stunned.

This is like a master of martial arts, who may be able to fight the rivers and lakes with the strength of one person, and no one can beat him. But if you are a soldier who has been trained by the system, even if the soldier's martial arts are thousands of miles away from the opponent, he can still kill the opponent with an absolute number of people and an array advantage.

The strength of the threshing soldiers is their individual strength and the mobility of small forces.

In this way, there is a high probability that these people will not be too proficient in large-scale military array operations.

That's the good news.

This shows that even if the other side has a unified commander at the moment, the other side is not good at directing large-scale siege operations, and once the time comes, it will inevitably be full of mistakes and omissions.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The thunderous sound of war drums came from outside the city.

The drums beat three times, the threshing soldiers let out a strange cry like a wolf's howl, and the cavalry in front drew their single swords, set up their arms and shields, and pointed their horses in the direction of the city gate.

Li Chengjing looked at the other party's posture speechlessly.

It's really going to be a cavalry siege.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

didn't give Li Chengjing a chance to complain, and it was another three-way drum.

In an instant, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.

The earth began to shake, and everyone at the head of the city felt that the walls under their feet seemed to begin to shake.

The charge of thousands of cavalry, I am afraid that even the defenders of the border pass, are unlikely to be seen very often.

Not to mention the recruits in Yizi City.

Just from the beginning, they felt a fierce momentum that was so oppressive that they suffocated that it rushed over their faces.

General Chen shouted: "Archers prepare!" ”

The drums at the head of the city were also beating loudly, and the soldiers at the head of the city were nervously holding their bows, waiting for the order to draw their bows and arrows.

Li Chengjing looked at it casually, and found that many people's palms were constantly stretched, and it was obvious that their palms were already covered with sweat.

There are also many people with wandering eyes, dry mouth and tongue, and constantly making swallowing movements.

Even in the cold winter, it is still cold sweat like rain.

Shaking his head, Li Chengjing found at a glance that the two sides were not opponents at the same level at all.

If there were no accidents, it would be impossible for Yizi City to hold at all.

Li Chengjing was very puzzled, Yizi City is not far from the border pass, why is the quality of the guards here so poor.

It's just that he didn't know that the guards of Yizi City were just new recruits who had just been transferred here, and the veterans were only a small part.

Seeing that General Chen was already busy transferring troops and sending generals, a disciple who came out of the horse hurriedly ran over and whispered while there was no one around Li Chengjing, "Master Zhaoguan, the big war has begun, let's withdraw." You also know that during the war, even if there are no weapons, there will be soldiers, and our mystical cultivators, not being able to cast spells is secondary, and these soldiers will also wear down our Taoism. ”

The voice was soft and glutinous, and Li Chengjing saw that it was a young woman of eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a cotton jacket, her face was flushed, and her eyes were full of panic at the moment.

Li Chengjing said with a smile: "You are a disciple of the horse, you don't have a few taels of mana on your body, even if it is broken, it will not have much impact on you, what are you afraid of?" ”

He didn't go to explain the problem of the soldiers, but sent the other party back.

Seeing this, the other disciples who came out of the horse could only panic and be at a loss for what to do.

Li Chengjing made up his mind and did not let them go.

Some people have even begun to wonder if the Baojia Immortal in their own hall has offended this Zhaoguan master and is taking this opportunity to take revenge on the Immortal Family.

"It's coming!" Li Chengjing yelled.

Everyone immediately lifted their spirits.

A distance of 100 paces, for cavalry, is instantaneous.

"Ready! Put ......"

General Chen's voice echoed in the city, but before he could finish the order to release the arrows, an overwhelming rain of arrows came from under the city.

Even before they launched the first wave of arrows.

Only Li Chengjing can see clearly.

When the cavalry reached twenty paces below the city, the cavalry in the second and third rows suddenly raised their bows from their horses, and there was a rain of arrows at the city.

The action is tacit, although the time of the arrow rain is not uniform, but it still weaves an arrow net, so that the archers at the head of the city can not make timely resistance.

General Chen waved his sword to block the rain of arrows and roared loudly: "Stand up if you are not dead, shoot arrows, shoot arrows." Thunderstone Rolling Wood Ready ......"

In the roar of General Chen, the defenders who reacted immediately began to shoot a messy array of arrows at the city. There is no need to aim at all, open the bow and shoot arrows, and the cavalry below is dense like a wave, so you don't have to worry about shooting in the air.

But by this time, the cavalry had already come to the city.

I saw that the entire cavalry team pulled the reins tightly, and the waves of earth were really like big waves in the sea, slapping on the city wall.

Then, one by one, the cavalry jumped up and stepped on the wall and flew up towards the city.

It was too fast, as if these threshing soldiers had been rehearsed countless times, and there was no chance for the city wall guards to react.

At this time, dozens of threshing soldiers had climbed to the top of the city.

Some people died, but not completely......
