As soon as the commander of the infantry phalanx gave the order, the shield soldiers who were responsible for providing protection around them quickly withdrew, and at the same time, several people tore off the chains that surrounded the middle of the phalanx.

Two hundred terrifying and ugly-looking poison soldiers appeared, like evil spirits from hell in the bleak starlight.

The Ghost Fighting Clan officer avoided a volley of feathered arrows, and then shouted a few commands, and the poisonous soldiers immediately roared and climbed the ladder in front of them one after another.

The poisonous soldiers were extremely vigorous, climbing ladders far faster than the Ghost Fighting Clan's warriors, and they were not afraid of the arrows and boiling oil falling from the city, only knew how to climb up in a frenzy, and approached the battlements with only a few snaps of their fingers.

At this time, the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army guarding the edge of the city wall were about to use their spears to assassinate the enemy who was close to the wall, but unexpectedly, in the next second, a blood-stained ghost suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Oh my God! What is it?! ”

Before the warriors could react, the first poison soldier had already leapt and pounced into the crowd, followed by the second and third......

Five ladders for the use of poisonous soldiers continuously transported terrible demons to the city, and in the blink of an eye, thirty or forty poisonous soldiers successfully climbed to the top of the city, rampage and wanton killing among the defenders.

The Zhenjiang army had never seen such a monster before, and although the boss greeted them in advance, saying that the Turks might send poison soldiers into battle, but without personal experience, no one could imagine how terrifying these guys were.

Infinite strength, not afraid of knives and guns, bloodthirsty as a demon!

The spear pierced into the body of the poison soldier, and the big knife cut the bones of the poison soldier, but it was useless, and the monsters were still staring at the blood-red, almost bulging eyes, scratching and biting frantically.

One after another the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army were brutally killed, and when their bodies fell, they still had a look of horror and disbelief on their faces.

Today's newly reassigned unit is the Seventh Army of Zhenjiang.

Wei Wen, the deputy commander of the legion, had previously served as a hussar lieutenant of the white-robed army, and was less than thirty years old, with strong martial arts and brave combat. He was the first senior officer to react, and in the face of the chaotic situation, Wei Wendang even led the reserve team to rush to the location of the poisonous soldiers to the city, trying to suppress the "enemy".

However, in less than a quarter of an hour, the young general was besieged by three poisonous soldiers and had his neck bitten off alive.

Soon, the defense line at the head of the city was in disarray.

The fear spread rapidly in the Seventh Army like a plague, constantly affecting other positions, and the Ghost Fighting Clan also noticed the changes in the defenders, and immediately roared excitedly, desperately rushing upward.

Li Jiangyao and Xu Youchang met at the stairs of the city road. As soon as Xu Youchang saw him, he immediately said urgently: "Why are you here?" It's dangerous here! ”

"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Jiangyao took the white-robed army and said as he ran: "You go and get out of the city gate quickly, and the poisonous soldiers will be handed over to me!" ”

With that, he jumped over the top of the crowd and pounced on the nearest poison soldier.

The blade rises, and the stars fall.

The Starfall Knife was like a flash of lightning, and it suddenly slashed through the poisonous soldiers, and a bloody head was directly slashed away, rolling out more than two feet away.

Li Jiangyao kept moving in his hands, and after killing three poisonous soldiers in a row, he flew up to the battlements, used his internal force, and shouted: "Brothers, kill them all for me!" ”

Seeing that Dadu Hu was on the battlefield and easily hacked a few evil spirits to death, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Army was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards the enemy at the head of the city with a shout.

And the white-robed army also played the role of a commando again, slashing horses and knives in one color, specifically slashing at the head of the poisonous soldiers, and the two hundred monsters who climbed the city wall were beaten back in a blink of an eye.

But at this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering shout of killing in the distance, and the main Turkic force was dispatched.

With the city already in a melee, it was difficult for the crossbows and archers to effectively contain the enemy's charge at this time, and only one hundred and twenty trebuchets could not pose a mortal threat to the fast-moving Turks. In the blink of an eye, the Third Legion of the Golden Clan approached the city wall.

Along with them came ten giant nest cars and a storming car.

The archers of the Condor clan stood on the top floor of the nest car, much higher than the city wall, their eyesight and archery skills were very exquisite, and with the advantage of being condescending, they picked the Zhenjiang army to shoot.

At the same time, the city-rushing cart, covered with three layers of thick cowhide, was pushed in front of the city gate, and the stout logs wrapped in iron sheets crashed directly into the gate.

The sound of heavy bombardment continued, and the battle situation reached the most critical moment.

Li Jiangyao knew that if this wave was not carried out, Zijin Pass would be over. He waved his sword to block a few flying arrows, and ordered the white-robed army: "First team, second team, go and take back the giant crossbow over there!" Kill the nest car on the opposite side with a rocket! ”

"Team three, to the south! Drive the Turks out there! ”

"Crimea, reorganize the archers of your Seventh Army, don't be afraid of death, give me a block from the Turks outside the city!"

"Herald, go tell Xu Youchang and let him use fire oil! If you can't burn the city car, you can burn people! ”

A series of orders were issued, and the troops and horses of all walks of life moved separately. In particular, the soldiers of the first and second teams of the white-robed army moved extremely quickly, and they quickly cleared the enemy troops in the nearby giant crossbow position, lit the crossbow arrows and shot outward.

Seven or eight long-roded crossbow arrows with blazing flames pierced the night sky and hit a nest car a hundred paces away. In a short time, the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames, and the shooters on the nest car screamed in amazement, and they jumped out of the car in a panic to flee for their lives.

Seeing this, the Zhenjiang troops in other locations at the head of the city also immediately followed suit, using rockets to counterattack those siege equipment that were getting closer and closer.

At the same time, Xu Youchang, who was guarding above the city gate, ordered dozens of oil jars to be smashed to the ground, and then threw out torches to ignite them. In the blink of an eye, the Turkic soldiers pushing the storming carts were either directly burned to charcoal, or roasted alive in the cave of the city gate, and the loud sound of hitting the city gate gradually subsided.

The fierce fighting lasted for more than three hours, and it was not until dawn that the exhausted Turkic army finally decided to withdraw its troops temporarily.

At this time, Zijin Pass, whether it is above or below the city, has already accumulated corpses and rivers of blood.

Li Jiangyao stood at the head of the city, looking at the Turks who were rapidly retreating, and his heart couldn't help but sink secretly. In last night's battle, it is not an exaggeration to say that victory or defeat is only a matter of millimeters. The Ghost Fighters and the Golden Third Legion rushed to the city wall several times, and the gate of Zijin Pass was also hit by the city truck twice, and was almost captured by the Turks.

Fortunately, the Zhenjiang army made sufficient preparations in advance, and the soldiers sacrificed their lives and died at the critical moment, resisted hard, and desperately exhausted the spirit of the siege troops, so as to finally hold the city pass under their feet.

Xu Youchang led the generals to Li Jiangyao's back: "My lord, the enemy army has retreated, you should also rest." ”

Li Jiangyao turned around, looked at the bandages on Xu Youchang's shoulders and thighs, and asked with concern, "Are you seriously injured?" ”

"It's fine."

Xu Youchang smiled faintly: "Last night, I was not very lucky, and I bumped into two masters." ”

Huo Liya, who was standing next to him, said: "Especially the knife on the shoulder, if Brother Xu hides a little slowly, his head will be cut off." ”

Looking at the indifferent expression on Xu Youchang's face, Li Jiangyao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "You, you're always so desperate." Anyway, he is also the commander-in-chief of the front line, can he spare his life? ”

"You still talk about me?" Xu Youchang said depressedly: "The dignified capital guard, rushing to the front to cut people, can you still have a bit of a general's demeanor?" ”

"At least I wasn't hurt. Unlike you, the three-legged cat kung fu is still so dazzling. ”

Listening to the two of them joking with each other, the surrounding generals suddenly couldn't help laughing, and their originally tense mood gradually relaxed a lot.

Xu Youchang teased Li Jiangyao a few more words as if he was in the martial arts hall at the beginning, and then said solemnly: "Dadu Hu, the losses of the Seventh Army are relatively large, and I have already asked them to withdraw first to rest." ”

"Oh? Who are you going to take over? ”

"Let's go to the third army," Xu Youchang responded: "The county lord's troops are the old foundation of our Zhenjiang army, and they are the best at fighting defensive battles, and the tough battles in the back must rely on them." ”

Li Jiangyao nodded with satisfaction and looked at Huo Liya: "How is it?" County Lord, do you have faith? ”

Horia was heroic and said loudly: "Please rest assured! The Third Army of Thunder swore to follow Dadu Protector to the death, and Zijin Pass will always be the eagle flag of our Zhenjiang Army fluttering! ”

-

"How are you three legions?" The Prince of the Temple, Ronia, calmly asked, "Can you still fight?" ”

Nelens, the commander of the Third Legion of the Golden Clan, shouted, "Your Highness, we can still fight!" ”

Yun Qianxue's sword eyebrows tightened: "Nelens, the Third Legion lost more than 4,000 people last night, it's okay." ”

"Yunjun, it is precisely because of the loss of four thousand brothers that you have to fight again!" Nelens' eyes were blood-red: "We want revenge!" ”

Yun Qianxue knew that in the fierce battle last night, not only more than 4,000 soldiers of the Third Legion were buried on the battlefield, but Nelens's own brother was also killed in battle. He could understand Nelens's pain, and couldn't help but persuade with kind words: "Then you should also rest first." Let the friendly troops charge for you a few times, and when the strength of the three legions has recovered, it is not too late to take revenge. ”

Nelens shook his head: "No, there's no need to rest. ”

Prince Tanli said on the side: "You can think clearly, last night there was a cover of night, and the poisonous soldiers suddenly disrupted the city defense system on the opposite side, so that the Ghost Dou Clan had a chance to enter the city in one fell swoop, and when the three legions went up, the Zhenjiang Army happened to restore the long-range strike force, so it was difficult for you to move an inch." It's broad daylight, and it's a hundred times harder than last night. ”

"Second Prince, I understand what you said," Nelens said firmly, "Our Third Legion likes to fight tough battles the most, and we can still climb the city wall during the day!" ”

Ronia spoke at this time: "Okay, since you are eager to fight, then take advantage of the opportunity!" Last night's battle was just an appetizer, and today is the real general attack. Nelens, I want you to show the blood of the Golden Clan, and let the Zhenjiang army know what the wrath of the Turkic king is like! ”

"Kill them all!"

Nelens roared angrily.
