062, the siege of Badu (below)
The siege battle is a tragic time, especially in the frontal attack, and the various squads of an army formation, and between the front and rear armies of the entire battle array, must be trained and rotated in a timely manner. Even if you give someone a knife and let a group of pigs come out and let him cut it, after cutting several heads in a row, and after half an hour, I am afraid that the knife will be dull, and the person will not be able to swing the knife.
In order to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness and impact power, and not to collapse the battle line when the casualties are too large, it is necessary to rotate the rear team and continue to rush before the frontline battle formation is exhausted. The defenders on the city wall did not know how many waves of attacks they had blocked, and the figure of the monk also appeared behind the opposing army's formation, casting magical spells in the shadow of swords and swords, attacking the defenders on the city and the city wall on which they stood.
The front of the stone wall was covered with sword marks, and from time to time there was a sound of explosions and explosions, and many places were destroyed, revealing the rammed earth inside. There are also monks in the crowd defending the city, who are behind the front line, casting a variety of magical spells to help the defenders and defuse attacks against enemy monks. It's not a one-on-one fight, and there's not even a specific opponent.
Several large climbing slopes had been destroyed under the walls, which had been knocked down by flying boulders. When the siege battle array was withdrawn again, and a new group of enemy troops rushed up, the defenders of the city did not realize that this offensive was different from the past, and the people who rushed to the front were all monks from the four realms, but they were ordinary sergeant attire.
But no matter who came, the rolling stones, arrows, and pike guns in the city were fired as usual, but they did not defeat a single enemy army as before, and those sergeants of the Xiangmuro Kingdom suddenly stood still and showed their magic weapons, and all kinds of light flashed, and joined forces to block this wave of attacks, and then suddenly shot something at the city wall.
There were a total of thirty-six monks, and thirty-six soul-devouring smoke were fired at the same time. A secret treasure like the Soul Devouring Smoke can only be displayed if you have the cultivation of more than the four realms and the ability to master the imperial weapon, otherwise you don't need to send these monks to the battlefield.
The Soul Eater Smoke stored in the Xiangmuro National Arsenal, Xiang Qian brought fifty pieces this time. It's for this time. The best way to use this is to defend from a high position, and to have a favorable wind in the field. Some time ago, Xiang Qian had been attacking, and it was very smooth to take the outlines of the cities, so there was no need for the monks to rush to the front of the battle formation to use the secret treasure.
Even if he had trouble attacking the defensive passes of Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain Pass, he was attacking from the bottom to the top at that time, and the wind direction was not favorable, so he did not use the Soul Eater Smoke. Today, Xiang Poor was besieging the city, and the terrain was also unfavorable, but he chose a favorable wind direction and gathered a large number of monks to rush to the front. Suddenly, all of a sudden, these Soul Eaters hit the walls at the same time.
This hand can make the defenders on the city wall dead and wounded, and the mist and poisonous smoke drift into the city with the wind, and it can make countless casualties in the city. Except for a few masters, the defenders on the battlefield in this direction are probably about to be emptied.
Thirty-six Soul Eater Smoke were simultaneously detonated by mana into a black cloud wrapped in gray mist, which was about to expand and explode. Under the power of its outburst, even a Six Realms Dacheng master may not be able to resist.
Two streamers suddenly flew into the air behind the city wall, and they froze in the void and turned into two figures, which were Gongzheng Shrike and Mr. Changling, the sect leader of the Changling Sect. These two masters were originally on guard nearby, and they flew at the same time when they sensed that something was wrong. The shrike waved his hand and offered a gust of wind. With all his might, the gray mist and black clouds swept high into the sky. Mr. Elderman cast a spell to turn into a blue light to dispel the poisonous smoke that had not been dispelled.
They joined forces to dissolve the power of so many Soul Eaters that erupted at the same time, but it was also extremely difficult. Most of the gray mist and black clouds swept into the sky. It did not drift into the city and cause widespread casualties. There were defenders on the city wall who fell to the ground in the poisonous smoke, but the blue light of Mr. Changling's sacrifice also protected most of the people in time.
At that moment, another loud bang was heard. Using Soul Eater Smoke doesn't consume your own mana. As long as he used his magical power to sacrifice it and detonate it, the thirty-six monks shot out the soul devouring smoke, and formed a formation in time to cast a spell to bombard the city wall. The blow almost drained them all.
The front of the city wall, which was already in tatters, and in many places even exposed the rammed earth behind the rocks, collapsed under this blow, and a gap several zhang wide appeared. Gravel and earth flew everywhere, and the defenders standing on the city walls were also killed and wounded, many severed arms and stumps flew along with the rubble, and many people were buried under the collapsed earth and rocks.
At this time, there was a chorus of shouts, and ten monks rushed from behind the city wall, they were the ten national workers who lived in the city of Badu, and when the national sacrifice was held at the succession ceremony of the young affairs last year, these people also cast spells in formation. The shrike asked them to make a move this time, and they didn't need to go out of the city to kill the enemy, and it was at this time that they cast long-range and large-scale attack spells.
The walls of the city collapsed for a while, and huge boulders rolled down in all directions, and then they all flew up and smashed aimlessly out of the city with a whistling sound.
A national worker usually has more than five realms of cultivation, and has his extraordinary supernatural powers, and they can cast all kinds of magical spells. But at this time, there are no superfluous fancy means, it is the most ordinary and simple, as long as there is a three-realm cultivation, you can cast the art of imperial objects.
Countless stones rolled up, as well as the rolling stones that had been hoarded behind the walls of the city to defend the city, including several houses near the walls, also disintegrated, and all flew out and smashed towards the breach.
The thirty-six monks each shot out the Soul Devouring Smoke, and then joined forces to collapse the city wall, and this full blow had consumed most of the divine energy mana, and they were flying backwards. The stones in the sky were mixed with all kinds of broken ordnance, fragments of city walls and houses, and there was no place to hide, so they could only sacrifice magic weapons to debut Dao Guanghua to resist.
More than 20 rays of light were smashed on the spot, and less than half of the people who could save their lives and retreat. Such a huge loss may also be unexpected by Xiang Poor, but after all, the city wall was knocked out of a gap, and the elite army formation that had been prepared for a long time rushed into the city. And the reserve army array reinforced in Badu City also rushed to this gap like a tide.
I saw that inside and outside the gap in the city wall a few zhang wide, the brilliance of all kinds of swords, the sound of gold and iron resonating one after another, and the sound of roars and screams continued. If you stand in the middle of that gap, even if you are a monk like Shrike or Changling, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save your life, and no matter how high your cultivation is, it will be flesh and blood after all.
The shrike cast a spell that swept the power of the Soul Eater Smoke burst into the air, but the gray mist and black cloud did not disappear, and continued to swell forward with the wind and spread. The shrike continued to fly upwards, casting a spell to roll up the wind to wrap the poisonous smoke, so that it continued to spread high into the air with the wind, so as not to fall into the city and hurt people. Even if the tiger baby is here with a five-colored divine lotus in her hand, she can't dissolve so many poisonous smoke that erupted at the same time, so she can only use this method to drive it away and finally scatter it in the distance.
Chang Ling saw that Shrike's body was a little unstable, so he flew up in time to help him, and at the same time sacrificed blue light to dispel the faint poisonous smoke that drifted into the gap in the city wall. These poisonous smoke that have escaped must be dissolved with mana to dissolve its toxicity, Chang Ling happens to be proficient in this way, and it is much more difficult to do so than to sweep away the gray mist and black clouds, but fortunately, there is not too much poisonous smoke floating out just now.
Chang Ling was single-minded, casting spells to dissolve the poisonous smoke on the battlefield, and then flew into the air to help the shrike, only to see a huge black cloud with surging gray mist, slowly drifting over Badu City. Swept away by the strong wind, the small amount of poisonous smoke that continued to drift down was also constantly swept away by the blue light, and finally drifted through the city of Badu and fell into the wilderness in the southwest outside the city.
Shrike and Changling landed on the city wall, their faces were a little pale, and their breath was slightly disordered. Soul Eater Smoke is a mass destruction on the battlefield, and these two masters themselves can not be afraid of harm, but if they want to cast a spell to protect the soldiers and civilians in the city, they also consume most of their divine energy, because it is far more difficult to save people than to kill people or protect themselves.
A master like them, since they have broken through the cultivation of Dacheng, they are enough to open a sect and become a generation of sect masters, and enjoy the wonder of great freedom and detachment in the world.
Needless to say, he served as the Gongzheng of the Ba Mu Country, that is, the commander who guarded the city of Badu and commanded the war. And Mr. Changling and his clan and sect, and the interests of Shaowu are almost completely one, his son is the lord of Shanchuan City, and the disciples of the sect have been discharged, some of them obey the orders of the Beidao clan in the forbidden land of Pengshan, and the other part follows the Shaowu army to go on the expedition, and he himself stays in Badu City to assist the shrike.
At this time, in the gap of the collapsed city wall in the northeast of Badu City, a tide of enemy troops poured in, and a tide of defenders rushed over, starting a decisive battle to the death. The poor elite army rushed through the gap several times, but it was never able to break through the semicircular defensive line behind the city wall, and did not follow the lĂŹ to attack the city.
After several tugs of war, there were casualties inside and outside the gap in the city wall, and the shrike returned to the high platform in the city to command the overall situation. Fortunately, there are enough reserve formations organized in the city, which is equivalent to filling this gap with human lives. The fierce battle lasted until before dusk, when the army broke through the walls but could not enter the city, and finally retreated as darkness approached.
The battle finally subsided, and many torches were lit in the city. Cangzheng counted the casualties overnight, organized the city's communist workers to rescue the wounded, and redistributed and distributed various supplies; Bingzheng was busy reorganizing the remnants of the army, and many of the army formations defending the city were disabled, and it was necessary to reorganize the remaining elite backbones and replenish the young and strong to restore their combat effectiveness.
