Chapter 36: Pingwang Mountain (3)
"Deserters, kill!" A group of magicians in robes suddenly appeared in the tower, led by a magician in fiery red robes.
The fire-robed mage swung his staff, and a rain of fire fell, burning the soldiers who had fled back into the city, and they fell to the ground wailing.
The other magicians wore robes of different colors, chanted incantations in unison, and unleashed pieces of magic, including ice and snow, walls of fire, wind blades, and ground thorns, protecting the city gates.
The cavalry of the Xuanzi Battalion at the front of the formation was instantly overwhelmed by magic.
Fei Shi urgently ordered a halt to the army and no longer stormed the city. There is a team of magicians defending the city, even if the city gate is captured at this time, the Xuanzi battalion is bound to suffer heavy losses, and in the next city street battle, it is very likely to be disintegrated and annihilated by the soldiers in the city. To be on the safe side, Fei Shi had to order the withdrawal of the troops.
Bai Wen pursued the city lord of Wangshan, but unexpectedly, one of the magicians mixed in with the ordinary soldiers and protected the city lord. In the end, he could only watch the city lord lead some remnants of the army and retreat into the city.
"It's a pity, if it weren't for those magicians, I would have almost broken the city!" Bai Wen retreated, sighing, "Miss this opportunity, miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to break the city." There is only one day left for us. ”
"Yes, after this siege, Wangshan City will definitely not send generals out of the city to fight again. Fei Shi nodded, "But the time left for us is not only one day, but two nights!"
A gleam flashed in Fei Shi's eyes, and she obviously had already laid it out.
That night, Fei Shi ordered several groups of soldiers to light a large bonfire in the east and north of Wangshan City, illuminating the camp brightly. He also ordered some soldiers to scurry around from time to time to the south and west of the city as suspicious soldiers.
Wangshan City couldn't figure out the reality of the Xuanzi Battalion, and was worried that the Dragon Wing Legion would take advantage of the situation to sneak attack, and the whole city was under martial law all night to guard against the Dragon Wing Legion.
And Fei Shi ordered the main force to return to the original place and sleep for a night.
It wasn't until dawn that Wangshan City realized that last night was just a false alarm, and the Xuanzi Camp was just a bluff. The soldiers who had not closed their eyes all night were so tired that some of them even fell asleep while standing at the head of the city with their eyes closed.
Suddenly, the war drums sounded in the distance, and the Xuanzi Battalion not far away had distinct flags and armors, forming a formation and slowly advancing towards Wangshan City.
Is it about to attack the city?
The soldiers of Wangshan Castle raised their foreheads and looked nervously out of the city.
After the three drums, they advanced to the Xuanzi camp by the moat, and slowly retreated.
There was a false alarm, and the recruit, who was highly nervous, suddenly felt loose and sat down on the ground.
After an hour, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded outside the city, and the soldiers in the city were startled again, it turned out that the Xuanzi battalion was practicing outside the city, and the neat shouts made the tired soldiers in the city unable to sleep at all.
The drill did not end until noon.
The soldiers of Wangshan City, who sighed, were preparing to have lunch.
As soon as he picked up the rice bowl, the shouting and scolding outside the city rang out, and when he looked out, there were a group of soldiers of the Xuanzi battalion, wearing heavy armor and holding shields, showing off their might under the city wall!
The soldiers at the head of the city used bows and arrows to shoot, but they could not break the shields and heavy armor. The attack distance of the magic cannot be reached, and it cannot be driven out of the city to fight. Helpless, Wangshan City could only issue a ban, no longer scolding, the whole city was silent, and let the scolding outside the city be, and the morale was extremely low.
Towards dusk, the four shouting teams withdrew. At the same time, there was also the main force of the Xuanzi Battalion.
Without these noises, Wangshan Castle suddenly became unusually quiet. Those tired soldiers, finally unable to support themselves, stood at the head of the city with their spears and fell into a deep sleep. Some soldiers did not even eat dinner and lay down in the city to sleep. let the generals beat and scold, but they refused to move.
As the night deepened, the whole city of Wangshan Castle, which had lost its guard due to exhaustion, fell into a deep sleep. The soldiers who were forced to patrol the night were all yawning.
Suddenly, a cannon rang out, fires broke out everywhere in the city, and countless soldiers and civilians rushed and shouted in the melee: The Dragon Wing Army has broken through the city gate, flee quickly!
The city that suddenly woke up fell into boundless chaos.
The Xuanzi battalion, which was full of soldiers and horses, took advantage of the night to quietly hide outside the city.
As soon as the cannon sounded in the city, Bai Wen led the vanguard cavalry troops and charged vigorously.
The city has already responded by lowering the drawbridge and opening the city gates.
Bai Wen led the cavalry battalion, almost did not encounter decent resistance, and directly crushed into the city, like a bamboo, and attacked the county king's mansion. At this time, the county king's mansion has long been empty. Bai Wen killed a few of the guards and then broke through the closed gate of the county king's mansion and stormed it.
The rest of the troops entering the city were divided into several units and occupied important strongholds in the city.
Fei Shi led the three magicians and led the army to the palace, preparing the magicians in the city to resist violently. However, until the entire city of Wangshan was occupied, the group of magicians did not appear.
It may be that until Wangshan City is gone, these magicians have chosen to flee quietly.
The defenders in the city, seeing that the defeat was decided, had no idea of resisting, and all chose to flee, hide or beg. The garrison of up to 20,000 collapsed overnight.
The siege of the city progressed surprisingly smoothly, and after occupying the county king's mansion, Fei Shi commanded his subordinates to fight separately, sending troops to occupy various important points in the city, as well as the management departments and passages of the city. It wasn't until the battle reports were sent back and all the battle reports were under control that people were sent to present the battle reports to the Dragon Wing Army and the Commanders respectively.
Fei Shi and Bai Wen had no sleep all night, and they waited for the day.
