Chapter 177: Overwhelming
After resting in the snow mountain for three days, everyone began to discuss the next plan, according to Jin Ting's meaning, directly attack the royal city, but this requires strong combat power and explosive power, if the other party has been prepared, even if there are two hundred masters brought by Shen Mo, it is not easy to do it; of course, the premise is that Shen Mo does not directly intervene, or rather, there is no suitable reason for Shen Mo.
As long as there is a reason, silence is not impossible to participate directly.
In the end, according to Jin Rong's meaning, he first captured a city with an excellent geographical location as a springboard, and then attacked the royal city, and the target of this attack was an important town called Black Rock City, which was 200 miles away from the royal city.
Black Rock City has always been the forward fortress and buffer point of the royal city, and any attack on the royal city must first pass through the black stone city; it is precisely because of this that the garrison of Black Rock City is extremely tight, and the military force is extremely strong, and it is the military fortress second only to the royal city in the entire Far North wilderness.
Among them, there are as many as 30,000 regular defenders, not including the 3,000 wolf cavalry that can carry out effective counterattacks, as well as all kinds of heavy equipment; plus the rammed earth city wall that is five zhang high and two zhang thick, usually if you want to capture Blackstone City, you need at least 150,000 troops, plus all kinds of siege equipment, otherwise, you will be sent to death.
With the current strength in hand, it must be effectively distributed; 200 masters are the main force and vanguard, and the 20,000 troops under the command of Jin Ting are used as follow-up forces and auxiliary attacks; because there are no siege equipment, the most important thing to capture Blackstone City is that 200 masters must tear through the defense line of Blackstone City, open a gap, and welcome the army into it.
Because before this, Shen Mo and the others had already attacked Lincheng, and the entire Far North Barbarian Wilderness knew that Shen Mo was coming, and while everyone was in danger, all the cities were well prepared for the most rigorous defense; when Shen Mo and the others arrived at Black Rock City, the city walls were full of defenders, and they were obviously ready for battle.
Before Shen Mo and the others could attack, the general of the defenders on the city wall shouted loudly: "Shen Mo, we know that you are coming, with your strength, you can destroy our Black Rock City in an instant, and even the entire Far North Barbarium;
Shen Mo had long known that the other party would use morality to suppress himself, so he replied loudly: "Don't worry, I won't make a move!"
Receiving a silent reply, the whole of Blackstone City breathed a sigh of relief;
The general of the defending army glanced at the army brought by Jin Ting, which was only 20,000; it was simply wishful thinking to capture Black Rock City with these 20,000 miscellaneous troops; a confident smile appeared on the face of the general of the defending army, and he immediately shouted: "If you are silent and don't make a move, just rely on your little strength, you still don't come here to send you to death; the battle is not a plain battle, even if it is a battle loss ratio of 1 to 5, you may not be able to capture Black Rock City! Besides, you don't have so much manpower to consume, retreat!"
Jin Ting rode his horse to the front of the army, and shouted at the general of the defenders: "Let your mother's fart, I came here today to capture Black Rock City, and when the city is broken, I will be the first to kill you!"
The reason why Jin Ting was so angry was because the general of the defenders of Black Rock City was a guest of Jin Ting's seat, and when he found out that Jin Ting was defeated by Jin Zhang, he defected to the battle;
The general of the defenders recognized Jin Ting, although his heart was weak, but he still pretended to be calm: "Since you want to die, then just attack, and tomorrow, I will carry your head to ask Your Majesty for credit!"
At this time, Jin Rong also marched to the front of the army and shouted: "The whole army is ready, listen to my orders!"
After this shout, the general of the defending army saw Jin Rong, and couldn't help but be stunned, and muttered: "Why did he come back? These brothers have joined forces, and they really can't retreat lightly." Immediately, he hurriedly ordered the whole city to make the most rigorous combat deployment.
With Jin Rong's order, the Black Wind Squad and another hundred Shen family masters launched an attack on Black Rock City, these two hundred people were extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, they had already rushed to the city wall, their legs jumped, they were two zhang high in the air, their toes were a little bit of the wall, with the help of this weak force, they were two zhang again, and they had reached the city wall in a blink of an eye.
Seeing this situation, the general defending the city was shocked and roared angrily: "Release the arrows, release the arrows!"
In an instant, a rain of arrows rained down on the two hundred masters, but unfortunately, this ordinary arrow could not threaten them at all, let alone miss, and even if it did, it would not leave the slightest trace on them.
When these 200 masters climbed the city wall, the archers who had not had time to retreat were killed and wounded in an instant, and they were like wolves rushing into the sheepfold, setting off a bloody storm.
"Let the heavy armoured army come up!" shouted the general who defended the city.
A moment later, piles of soldiers wearing heavy armor poured onto the city wall, the armor on these soldiers was made of dark iron, and some obsidian was fused with it, which could greatly offset the aura, and was used to deal with cultivators, but in the face of these more than 200 masters of the fifth stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, the heavy armor army was also like a moth to a fire, and all that awaited them was death.
The 5,000 heavily armored troops were killed and wounded at an astonishing speed under the attack of 200 Linghai Realm masters, and the general of the defending army realized that something was wrong and shouted at the deputy general beside him: "Where are the defenders in the city? Why haven't you come yet?"
As soon as the words fell, more than 20 Linghai Realm masters rushed from under the city, seeing these 20 masters, the defending generals finally breathed a sigh of relief, this is the master of Black Rock City, they arrived, although they could not restrain these 200 masters, but at least they could buy some time, and wait for the army to come to help, exhaust their spiritual energy to win.
It's just that the defending generals miscalculated, and the so-called masters sitting in Black Rock City are just some people in the third or fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, and in the face of two hundred masters in the late stage of the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, the power they can exert is not much stronger than the heavy armored army.
Jin Rong under the city saw that the situation was almost over, and shouted: "Go and break through the city gate!"
The Black Wind squad was ordered to send thirty men to the city gate.
Seeing this, the general of the defenders was terrified: "Hurry! Defend the city gate quickly, no matter what, we can't let them break through the city gate!" The general of the defenders knew very well in his heart that as long as the city gate was broken, he would have no advantage, and Blackstone City would be in danger.
At the command of the general of the defenders, three thousand wolf horsemen poured out from all directions, forming a formation at the city gate, and when the thirty Black Wind squads rushed to the city gate, they were immediately attacked fiercely;
The strength of each wolf rider is in the strength realm fourfold, wearing light armor fused with obsidian, coupled with the speed of hunting wolves, the power that can be exerted is not at all comparable to ordinary cavalry;
When Jin Rong learned of the situation, he said to the Li family brothers and Li Jiyuan, who had been gearing up: "Follow me!"
With that, the four of them jumped off their mounts and rushed towards the city wall like a violent wind, and climbed the city wall in a few jumps.
By the time Jin Ting reacted, the four of them had disappeared from sight, and Jin Ting was a little panicked: "How did they go to the battlefield in person? If there is a mistake, it will be a group of dragons without a leader!"
Shen Mo waved his hand, and comforted him easily: "Don't worry, I believe in the strength of the four of them, don't say that the extreme north is wild, even if it is the entire continent, there are only a handful of people who can kill them; ”
After the four of them climbed the city wall, the Li brothers fought on the city wall, and Finance took Li Jiyuan to support the battlefield at the city gate.
When they arrived, they found that four of the thirty members of the Black Wind Team had died, and the rest were struggling to support themselves;
Jin Rong turned to Li Jiyuan and said, "Let go of your hands and feet, although it is convenient to kill the four people!"
"Okay!" Li Zhiyuan responded, holding the giant axe of the evil dragon slaughtering the city, and jumped directly from the city wall; in an instant, dozens of wolf riders rushed up, Li Xianyuan was not in a hurry, swept a giant axe, and directly cut the four wolf riders who rushed in front into half; and then burst into a shout, the unrivaled momentum emanated from his body, and his right foot stomped heavily on the ground, and the ground within ten zhang of radioactivity with the center of the foot as the origin instantly sunken down, and the huge shock wave directly shook the dozens of wolf riders around him to the point of bleeding and falling off the mount.
"The first form of the bloody god of war, the heavenly dragon breaks the city!" Li Xianyuan roared angrily, and the giant axe in his hand smashed to the ground, and a bottomless crack was created on the ground, spreading everywhere, causing a large number of wolf riders to fall into the crack, and those who did not fall into it were also restricted from moving.
Before the wolf cavalry could recover from the shock, Li Xianyuan had already rushed forward, the giant axe in his hand was waved frequently, and every time he swung it, several wolf riders and wolves were knocked away; at this moment, Li Xianyuan was no longer an ordinary teenager, but a bloodthirsty god of war, exuding invincible courage on his body, and even the orcs who were brave and good at fighting and were naturally tough were stunned.
Li Jiyuan quickly rushed to the side of the Black Wind Squad, and under the leadership of Li Jiyuan, the Black Wind Team broke out of the encirclement and approached the city gate at an astonishing speed.
The general of the garrison shouted, "Hold on! Don't let them open the gates!"
Although the general of the defenders roared, in the face of Li Jiyuan's momentum, the wolf cavalry also looked pale and powerless, watching them slaughter in all directions, approaching the city gate, and there was nothing they could do.
And just when the general of the defenders was about to give the order to dispatch the remaining troops in the city to come to support, suddenly the guards around him sounded a scream; the general of the defenders was stunned, and hurriedly looked in the direction from which the screams came, but saw Jin Rong holding two Xuanhua board axes as if entering a no-man's land to collect the lives of the guards and attack him.
