374 Siege
Early the next morning.
After breakfast.
The tent of the large army camp sounded like a thunderous drum.
The 100,000-strong army soon gathered together, and the momentum was monstrous.
They looked at Chen Mo who was standing on the high platform, covered by dark red flames, not only was he still alive, but he was like Chen Mo wearing a dark red battle armor, and they only felt that he was possessed by the god of war.
In an instant, morale was greatly boosted.
Chen Mo pulled out the dragon slaying knife behind him, turned around and pointed to Zhenxi Pass in the distance, and shouted, "Siege!"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Lie took the lead and rushed out.
Xu Lie's prestige is much better than Chen Mo in the army, seeing Xu Lie taking the lead in the charge, the blood in his heart seems to be burning, or the fire that has been extinguished for several years is rekindled at this moment.
"Rush!"
The cavalry was not suitable for siege, so the horses and elephants were all left in the camps.
Even Du Tian was infected by this kind of war spirit, and when he was about to rush forward, he was pulled by Du Zijin.
When Du Tian struggled, Du Zijin glared at him directly, and Du Tian was instantly dumbfounded.
On the city wall of Zhenxi Pass, Pang Tong looked into the distance, how could he not hear such a loud drum.
Pang Tong said in a voice that could only be heard by himself, "He's here."
"I see."
Dao Feizi beside him was not a dust whisk in his hand, but a long sword, and his eyes exuded a cold light: "As long as Donghuang Taiyi doesn't make a move, they won't be able to attack this town and Xiguan."
Like Senior Brother Dao Yuanzi, he didn't think that Senior Brother was killed by Chen Mo.
As long as Donghuang Taiyi doesn't make a move, the masters in the pass may not be able to hold it after using the White Lotus Demon Skill.
Knock knock knock......
As the Zhenxi army approached, the earth trembled, as if someone was beating a drum in the distance, or ten thousand beasts were galloping.
That night, Zhenxihou attacked at night, and it was too dark for them to see it really.
But now, they realized what kind of army they were up against.
The black-armored sergeant who could not see the end at a glance came back towards the pass in an orderly manner, holding a spear, so that the cold winter wind carried a bit of murderous intent.
The monstrous military might, like a surging torrent rushing to the pass, destroyed everything in front of it, making the heavens and the earth become depressed.
When the defenders on the city wall saw this scene, their legs were a little weak.
Pang Tong understood.
Before this was fought, morale was weak.
"Come on, bring out all twelve cannons, and when they are in range, fire in unison." Pang Tong ordered.
One thing that the imperial army's army was stronger than the Zhenxi army was that they had firearms.
The last night attack on Zhenxihou was also repelled by firearms.
It's a pity that these firearms, take the firearm as an example.
It can't do bursts yet, and the reload speed is slow.
It is not possible to produce large quantities yet.
Otherwise, Nanzhou would have become good at singing and dancing.
The Marquis of Zhenxi did not dare to go from self-respect to self-respect from supporting troops to raising Kou.
The deterrent effect of current firearms is still very limited......
"Six hundred steps..."
"Five hundred steps."
"Four hundred steps..."
Pang Tong's eyes were like an accurate measuring ruler, calculating the distance from the Zhenxi army to the city wall, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Fire!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
Twelve artillery pieces fired in unison, and the shells carried thick gunpowder smoke, like a speeding meteor, shooting towards the Zhenxi army.
on this.
Chen Mo had already been prepared.
With a stomp of the soles of his feet, he jumped up with the dragon slaying knife in his hand, and a sharp blood slashed out, as fast as lightning, and exploded three cannonballs in the air.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
rest
's cannonballs were also stopped by Xu Lie, Ye Yiren, Li Wanqiu, Dong Kui, Deadwood, and Noke.
This scene made the morale of the Zhenxi army high.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
After the cannonball was stopped, countless wind-breaking sounds sounded in front of it, and a rain of arrows shrouded the sky.
This is the tactics of the defenders.
After the cannonballs, it was a volley of ten thousand arrows, one was to suppress the charge of the Zhenxi army, and not to let Zhenxi Pass press to the city wall.
The second is to provide time for the artillery to change shells.
After the 10,000 arrows were fired, there was another artillery bombardment.
Then came a volley of firearms.
When Xu Lie attacked at night, he suffered this loss.
Therefore, this siege of the city naturally told Chen Mo his lesson.
The heavy shield soldiers stepped forward and stood their shields on the ground, and the shield soldiers in the second and third rows raised their shields above their heads, blocking the round of ten thousand arrows.
After the artillery bombardment, it was once again blocked by Chen Mo and a few people.
Seeing this, the heavy shield soldiers in the front row neatly made way for a few passages, allowing the army in the rear to continue to rush forward.
The final volley of firearms.
The bullets were too dense, and it was impossible for Chen Mo and the others to stop them all, and many Zhenxi troops fell in the sea of blood.
This is also inevitable.
In a war, how can there be immortals, let alone a siege war.
"General Xu, here, I'll leave it to you."
After the volley of firearms, Chen Mo and the others who rushed to the front were already very close to the city wall, and after glancing at Xu Lie, they totoed a little, with a very fast speed, they came to the city wall in an instant, stepped on the snow without a trace, and jumped on the wall a few times, and they went up to the city wall.
The reason why I didn't go on it before was that I had nowhere to borrow my strength in the air, and I was a live target, and I couldn't dodge.
Chen Mo is not an innate grandmaster yet, so he can't fly.
Therefore, we can only use the blind spot of the perspective under the city wall and rely on superb light skills.
And Deadwood and Dongkui have already taken a step ahead of him and come to the city wall.
The defenders on the city wall saw the few people coming from Zong Fei's body, and their eyes widened.
One of the defenders was just about to bend his bow and arrow.
In response to him was a long, blackened knife.
"Poof!"
The archers fell to the ground, covered in a pool of blood.
Chen Mo raised and dropped the knife in his hand, just like killing a chicken, without any mercy, and killed five people in a row in a blink of an eye.
However, their goal was not to kill the defenders on the walls.
After all, there are countless defenders above, and if they kill them, they won't be able to kill them when their true qi is exhausted.
Chen Mo went straight to the city tower, targeting Pang Tong and Dao Feizi.
"Elder Deadwood, Dao Feizi will be handed over to you to hold on, and I, Elder Dongkui, and Yiren will solve the rest." Chen Mo didn't want to use the Great Sage Technique so quickly, so he wanted the dead wood to drag Dao Feizi first, and then settle the account with Dao Feizi after solving the people around Dao Feizi.
After locking on to the target, Deadwood went straight to Dao Feizi.
Chen Mo fought all the way to relieve the pressure on the siege below.
Chen Mo held the dragon slaying knife, like a purgatory killing god, and the stumps were everywhere he passed, killing a line of blood.
made a series of siege ladders set up on the city wall that Chen Mo killed.
"Who is this monster?"
Pang Tong had never seen Chen Mo wearing demon armor, not only him, but the surrounding defenders were killed by the monster-like "Chen Mo" and retreated step by step, and no one dared to organize resistance.
"He is Chen Mo."
Dao Feizi gritted his teeth, and when he saw the dead wood rushing towards him, he asked Pang Tong to send someone to resist Chen Mo.
