Chapter 289: Siege, Sudden Retreat
Su You and his party returned to Shuolin City the next day.
Scouts came from outside the city to report that a great riot had broken out in the barracks of the 300,000-strong army that had only come back a few days later.
The scout saw with his own eyes that the ordinary sergeants in the barracks and the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain were scuffling with each other.
But where are the ordinary sergeants who are the opponents of the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain, and after a while, the scouts lurking nearby saw that many ordinary sergeants were beheaded on the spot by the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain, and even crushed them and swallowed the corpses of ordinary sergeants into their stomachs like eating meat.
After seeing this scene, the scout immediately ran back and told Yuan Tianguang the news.
"Good!"
After Yuan Tianguang learned the news from the scout, he immediately slapped the table with ecstasy, and shouted at the people who were also sitting in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion with him: "The civil strife in the other party's military camp has indeed begun to break out, and now is the best time for us to counterattack!" ”
Immediately, Yuan Tianguang ordered all the generals in the city to lead some of the defenders and cultivators in the city to fight out of the city together, so as to frustrate the opponent's spirit.
After a while, the gates of Shuolin City were opened, and the defenders who had been suffocating in this city for several months shouted together with the companions of the cultivators to kill and go out.
Since the 300,000 troops of the Celestial Star Dynasty and the Loulan Dynasty were stationed not far outside Shuolin City, it didn't take long for the defenders in Shuolin City to cross the barrier in front of the camp with the Terran cultivators, and slaughtered into the camp of the 300,000 army from different directions at the same time.
However, the camp used as the garrison of the 300,000 army was not only not to deal with the counterattack on Shuolin City because of the civil strife, but even the army of Shuolin City had already entered the barracks, and those red-eyed Heavenly Demon Domain demons were still frantically gnawing at the corpses of Tianxing and the ordinary sergeants of the Loulan Dynasty army.
"Kill!"
"It's today!"
"Brother come with me and kill them all!"
Seeing that the situation in the barracks of the army of Tianxing and King Loulan was so chaotic, among which the ordinary soldiers and demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain were only concerned about the internal strife and had no time to take care of the outside world, how could the soldiers of the Zhongli Dynasty who came here from Shuolin City still be calm, thinking that the heads of these people were all military merits, they immediately greeted each other and rushed forward with swords and sticks, and together with the cultivators who came to the aid from the major clans on the mainland, they entered the military camp together, and slaughtered the soldiers of the Tianxing, Loulan Dynasty and the evil ghosts of the Heavenly Demon Domain unscrupulously.
After a while, a strong smell of blood rose to the sky in the barracks of the entire army.
But the shouting of killing has not dissipated since it sounded.
Until the land where the army was stationed had been stained red with the blood that had seeped into it, and all the barracks were left with red.
The satisfied Shuolin City soldiers and cultivators immediately shouted loudly, "Brothers, withdraw!" ”
They weren't stupid, not to mention that they came with Yuan Tianguang's mission, it was impossible for them to stay in this place all the time, and it was impossible for them to kill all the 300,000 troops.
So after taking the heads of a few Heavenly Demon Domain demons, the soldiers and cultivators of Shuolin City left the camp where the 300,000 troops of the Tianxing and Loulan Dynasty were stationed with excitement and returned to Shuolin City to prepare for merit.
The 300,000 troops of the Celestial Star Dynasty and the Loulan Dynasty had lost nearly 100,000 in one day today, plus those killed in the civil strife, and such losses were unacceptable to the 300,000 army in any case.
So after the gate of Shuolin City was closed again, Yuan Tianguang immediately ordered the defenders in the city to strengthen the defenses, ready to meet the troops of the Tianxing and Loulan Dynasty who reacted to them and counterattacked them.
But after waiting for three days, the armies of the Tianxing and Loulan dynasties did not react.
Not to mention a counterattack, there was no movement even in the barracks.
"What's going on?" Yuan Tianguang sat in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, lowered his eyebrows and fell into contemplation, "Could it be that the other party chose to retreat because the supplies couldn't keep up?" Why don't I send scouts out to investigate? ”
Just when Yuan Tianguang was about to send scouts to investigate the situation again.
The scout ran to the city lord's mansion one step ahead and shouted to him, "The city lord is not good! The armies of the Tianxing and Loulan dynasties are coming out of the barracks, and it seems that they are preparing to attack the city! ”
"What?"
Hearing this, Yuan Tianguang immediately stood up from his chair with a shocked face, and then looked at the scout who also had a face full of horror and surprise and asked, "You're not mistaken, are you?" Is it really the 300,000 army? How could they suddenly attack the city at this time? ”
Although he was surprised, Yuan Tianguang immediately asked the attendants to greet Su You and the others, and he followed the scouts all the way to the city wall.
As soon as he walked on the city wall, Yuan Tianguang saw that a large number of soldiers were rushing towards Shuolin City not far ahead, fearlessly rushing towards Shuolin City, which was also mixed with a lot of siege weapons and ladders, obviously Tianxing and Loulan Dynasty's siege was serious, and they really wanted to capture Shuolin City.
But Yuan Tianguang's eyes widened when he saw the approaching army clearly, "These guys..."
At this time, Su You and the others had also rushed to the city wall under the greeting of the city lord's mansion attendants, and naturally they also saw the army approaching Shuolin City, and saw clearly the appearance of those sergeants who were rushing towards Shuolin City.
Just at a glance, Su You and the others all showed surprise on their faces.
Su You opened his mouth and said: "Sure enough, as we guessed before, even if there is a civil strife in the other party's military camp, it will be calmed down in a short time, and if you want to do it, you need to make the two sides who don't deal with each other agree on the same point of view, and this is what the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain are good at." ”
Jiang Nu'er and the other women nodded, they all knew that the best thing for the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain was at refining the living and the dead into puppets, and the highest was only an ordinary sergeant in the innate realm, and in front of them with the strength of the supreme Innocent Realm, it was undoubtedly the best and the easiest puppet to refine.
And the ordinary sergeants who were now rushing towards the gate of Shuolin City were now expressionless, as if they would not lose their strength.
"These guys have become puppets of the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain."
Su You, who released the power of the divine soul and was enough to envelop hundreds of miles, probed for a while and said to Yuan Tianguang: "But Lord City, please relax, there doesn't seem to be a Demon General or a Demon God's Heavenly Demon Domain Demons here, so the cultivation realm of these soldiers is the same as before, as long as the city garrison tries its best to defend, there should be no accidents in this siege." ”
Hearing Su You say this, he was still a little flustered just now, for fear that the situation in Shuolin City would return to the same as before, so Yuan Tianguang was relieved, but he still frowned and ordered the city garrison to prepare for the battle.
Soon.
After being refined into a puppet by the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain, the sergeants who lost their self-consciousness and could only follow the instructions of the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain arrived outside Shuolin City and began to attack the city.
The garrison in Shuolin City relied on the gates and walls for defense.
For a while, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and the heavy smell of blood poured into everyone's noses along with the continuous splashing of stumps and broken arms.
But as Su You said, although he has become a puppet, the cultivation realm of ordinary soldiers has not been improved, and it is still a fantasy to attack the city.
The city of Celestial was able to hold its gates unbroken in the previous months, and it is the same today.
The siege lasted several hours, from morning until dusk.
The armies of the Tianxing and Loulan dynasties failed to break through the gates of Shuolin City, and they were killed by the garrison on the city wall as soon as they climbed the city wall, and the cloud ladder was also pushed down one after another.
If you are a cultivator whose cultivation realm is strong enough.
With the help of the defenders and the cultivators of the major clan forces on the mainland, Shuolin City was impregnable.
As the besieging sergeants were killed one by one, the corpses were piled up into a hill.
"Hmm..."
Suddenly, a dull trumpet sounded from the rear of the army.
The sergeants who heard the horn were stunned.
"Look! They're gone! ”
"What's going on with these guys? Halfway through the siege and gone? ”
"There is no response when the arrow is shot, what is the situation?"
On the city wall, the defenders of Shuolin City watched in amazement, even if they were shot in the back of the heart by an arrow, or the sergeant whose whole body was burned after being poured with fire oil, they turned around and left in unison after hearing the trumpet.
Yuan Tianguang was not as shocked as the others when he saw it, because he already knew from the mouths of Su You and the others that the other party was just a puppet, and he obeyed the orders of the evil ghosts of the Heavenly Demon Domain.
But he still turned his head to Su You with some confusion and asked, "Young Master Su, why did you say that the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain ordered them to go back at this time?" ”
Su You shook his head after hearing this, "I'm not a jack of all trades, nor am I a roundworm in the stomach of the evil ghosts of the Heavenly Demon Domain, of course I don't know what they are going to do." ”
In fact, he also felt very strange, since the Demon Domain Demon Domain had already refined so many puppets, and had chosen to attack the city today, why did he suddenly retreat.
Looking at the puppet soldiers who had retreated, Su You's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he always felt that something bad would happen.
