Chapter 40: One Man's War (2)

Thirty miles away from Wangshan City, the Dragon Wing Army is stationed.

"What? Only two horsemen out of the city? Fei Shi still led the Xuanzi camp to guard the mountain city? What kind of pass is this sold? Do you want to break through the Pingshan Pass with just Bai Wen?"

Tanma sent back the news of Wangshan City, and Zhang Jing was greatly surprised, and he couldn't figure out what medicine Fei Shi was selling in the gourd.

"The herald ordered that the Dizi battalion should not assist Bai Wen in a single soldier, and that as soon as the three-day deadline arrives and the Pingshan Pass has not been broken, he will be executed on the spot! In addition, closely monitor all movements inside and outside Wangshan City, and all soldiers lurking in the city must not act rashly. Just wait for our army to reach outside the city, give the signal, and proceed according to plan. I don't believe it, when the three-day deadline is up, what waves can these two boys make!" Zhang Jing's face was gloomy, and he said fiercely: "Let me lose face, and I will let you lose your lives!"

"No!" the guard ordered to leave.

The mountain is as high as a fan, traversing thousands of miles, cutting off Wangshan County and Pingling County. On the only passage connecting the two places, there is a checkpoint, which is Pingshan Pass.

Chengguan is as high as 100 meters, majestic and magnificent, and is one of the famous checkpoints in the world.

It's just that now, without foreign aid, Pingshan Pass has been besieged by the local word camp outside the city for more than half a month, and the siege battle for days has left a lot of scars on this Xiongguan.

If it weren't for the fact that the elite in the pass had already been taken away by the Singularity King, the entire Pingshan Pass would be mostly empty, and a mere local character camp would really not be able to shake this Xiongguan.

Today, unlike in the past, Pingshan Pass, which lacks soldiers and major generals, is just an abandoned and isolated city, struggling to support it.

The big banner erected at the head of the city, like a stubborn head, waving in the wind and refusing to hang down!

At dusk, the Dizi camp, which had been repeatedly captured for a day, slowly receded like a tide. Assembled less than ten miles from the city, the position fell into a brief period of peace, and both sides tacitly seized the time to rest.

As the night deepened, the bonfires at the Dizi Camp were connected together, reflecting half of the sky. However, the camp of thousands of people was silent and silent, and even the sound of horses neighing seemed to be deliberately suppressed.

"This is to prepare for a night battle!" Yuxuan, the guard of Pingshan Pass, saw the abnormality of the Dizi camp from a distance when he was patrolling the city. He looked at his soldiers with a lot of distress, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, all be ready, whoever can breathe, give me the head of the city - ready to fight!"

The only one of the guards beside him pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "Order! Prepare for war!"

The dead silence of the city pass, the moment he received the order, immediately came to life again!

The soldiers who were lying in the corner of the wall sleeping, * and in a daze, instantly came back to their senses and climbed to the city wall in pairs and threes.

It turned out that these soldiers defending the city were basically wounded soldiers who lacked arms and legs, and they could only climb to the top of the city by supporting each other. There are only a handful of soldiers who can keep their limbs intact.

Yu Xuan looked at these brothers who forgot to live and die to accompany him, both heartbroken and helpless.

"General, can you not fight?" said a young soldier to Yuxuan aggrievedly.

He lost his left leg and could only rely on a spear to stand firmly.

"I'm really hungry!" the soldier looked at Yu Xuan with a blank eye.

Yu Xuan stood still, looking at the soldier who was less than eighteen years old, his eyes were slightly red, and his chest was cramping. Holding back the tears in the corners of his eyes, Yu Xuan said: "After tonight's battle, I will definitely let you eat enough!"

Yuxuan drew his sword.

The blade was dull, and I don't know how much blood it was stained with.

"Order: The leader of the gang will boil meat soup, and when the brothers return from the night battle, they will be fed!

In a short time, a few men with intact hands and feet, a fire rose under the corner, and several large cauldrons were erected, boiling the so-called meat. After doing this, these men returned to the city, took up arms, and defended the city with everyone.

Woo - woo -

The horn sounded outside the city, and the ground word camp began to attack!

Thousands of soldiers, divided into several formations, carrying torches, marched in unison towards the gate.

"The meat that can be eaten is ready, and it is right behind you! However, whether you can eat it or not depends on your ability! It depends on your will! It depends on your faith!" This was a pre-war announcement, and Yu Xuan shouted loudly, "Remember! Only those who persist and live to win the battle are qualified to eat meat!"

"Eat meat!" "Eat meat!" "Eat meat!"

At this moment, this has become the only belief that all the soldiers guarding the gate insist on. They shouted this slogan, they were full of murderous energy, and there was a red light in their eyes, anyone who dared to stop them from eating meat would be the end of your life and death!

Zhang Li, who commanded the attack of the entire army of the Dizi Battalion, rode a dark silver demon leopard. Faintly hearing the shouting slogan coming from the juncture, he couldn't help frowning, "How did this guy Yuxuan do it? Obviously he is a crumbling wounded, sick and disabled general, but he can still let them fight to the death with a scream!"

"I don't believe it, your candle in the wind can't be extinguished tonight. Zhang Li gritted his teeth and shouted an order: "Order, Pingshan Pass is already the end of the strong crossbow, tonight the whole army must work together to take the city pass!" Order: The whole army will attack the city!"

"Siege, siege, siege!" The whole army of the Dizi battalion, shouting slogans, rushed to the city gate.

The battle has begun again!

Countless soldiers carrying torches, like a long river of sparks, converged on both sides of the city gate less than a mile away.

All the torches were gathered together to form two large fires, like two small volcanoes. The firelight is bright, and the city wall is reflected in the slightest.

The soldiers at the head of the city were full of exhaustion, the weapons in their hands were low, and they looked weak, but under the reflection of the firelight, their eyes were still bright and cold.

"Even if Pingshan Pass is a thousand-year-old iceberg, it will melt under my flame torrent tonight!" Zhang Li, who was riding a demon leopard and commanding in front of the battle, saw the appearance of the soldiers at the head of the city, his confidence increased greatly, and he said to the magician beside him: "I don't need you to make a move tonight, Pingshan Pass can attack me in three waves at the moment, count me as losing!"

In Zhang Li's view, the defense line of Pingshan Pass has long been a candle in the wind, and it is only about to be blown out with the last breath tonight.

In fact, the garrison combat power of Pingshan Pass has long been squeezed to the point that there is no left. But it's a miracle that no one can explain it until now!

The attack of the Dizi battalion was surging like a tidal wave, wave after wave. Pingshan Pass is a broken ship in the tide, swaying from side to side, and may be overturned and sunk by the waves at any time.

The first wave of the offensive ended. The Pingshan Pass defense line is still there!

"It's just stubborn resistance!" Zhang Li disagreed.

The second wave of the offensive ended. The defense line of Pingshan Pass, although damaged in many places, is still there.

"It's just a return to the light before he died!" Zhang Li was a little surprised.

The third wave is over! The banner of Pingshan Pass is still stubbornly standing at the head of the city, and it has never fallen.

"I lost!" Zhang Li simply admitted his defeat to the magician, "Please help me!"

Zhang Li looked at the whole battle, and the tragedy of the fighting process was shocking.

The soldiers defending the city, completely disregarding life and death, can use their bodies to block the spears and arrows that are stabbing for their comrades, just to let their comrades breathe, and then cut off the heads of the soldiers who climb the city; even if their hands and feet are cut off, they must throw an extra piece of rolling wood and pour an extra scoop of boiling oil under the city; they are still holding on to the enemy soldiers with several arrows in their bodies, and they still hold on to the enemy soldiers in one breath, roll together, fall off the city wall, and die together; if there is no weapon in their hands, they will use sticks and teeth to fight with each other.

This is a group of soldiers who have long forgotten hunger, forgot life and death, they have only one will, one belief, one persistence - victory, and then eat meat!

Zhang Li couldn't help but have respect for this group of soldiers in his heart.

After the end of the three waves of siege battles, the consumption of one's own side is not small, and physical strength is one thing. The most important thing is that the morale of the Dizi battalion has been exhausted in the attack and seizure battles again and again. Without the use of conventional siege warfare, they no longer have the belief that they will win, and they have lost their fighting spirit.

"Pingshan Pass has not been able to be attacked for a long time, because all their soldiers are of the same heart, and they can all ignore life and death. And the key person who leads their will is their main general, Yu Xuan. I've thought it through, and in order to take this pass, I must first get rid of the rain. Please use magic to help me kill this person!" Zhang Li was born in a family, he is a descendant, his personality is very arrogant, and he will not bow his head to others easily, and this time asking for the help of a magician is a choice in desperation.

"If you had asked me earlier, this Pingshan Pass would have been taken long ago, how could it have dragged on until now!" the magician pouted. The commander of a battalion bows his head in front of himself and admits defeat, which feels ······ It's so cool!

The magician, taking a few steps forward, chanted the incantation and waved the staff in his hand.

The staff snapped at a fire.

Boom –

The fire, which had long been subdued, suddenly erupted, and a fire dragon burst out, crossing the sky, rolling towards the rain of the city tower.

"Ice shield!" Yu Xuan pointed at Ling Xuan with his sword, and the blade of the sword was actually smooth and flashed, holding up an umbrella-shaped ice block to block the fire dragon. "Magic, so will I!"

What??A magician with a sword?

It's a magic swordsman! Now on this continent, there are classes that can only appear in legends.

Yu Xuan had never been revealed before, just to deal with the magicians of the Dizi Camp.

"Fireball!"

"Rain of fire!"

The magician casts several spells in a row, but the distance is too far away, and the power of the magic is much weakened.

"Ice Armor!" Yu Xuan simply released a low-level defensive magic spell and blocked the mage's attack, causing it to return in vain.

"Continue the siege!" Zhang Li had to order again, using regular siege warfare to assist the magician in the battle.

The fourth wave of offensive battles was far less tragic than the first three.

From time to time, the two sides released magic and emitted dazzling brilliance, but the danger was even worse than before.

The city gate of Pingshan Pass is used to deal with large-scale battles, and the city gate itself is extremely strong and heavy, and after the blessing of magic, ordinary siege equipment is completely ineffective for it. The only place where a city can be broken is the city walls.

The city wall is 100 meters high, and apart from using spliced ladders, Zhang Li can't think of any good way. The process of climbing the ladder was very dangerous, and at the beginning of the fourth wave of attacks, many soldiers were afraid of the magic of the castle tower, and they were afraid of it.

The whole process of the offensive was very reluctant, and the personnel organization was very loose.

After a few rounds of sparse attacks, they all retreated.

Zhang Li was furious, personally stepped forward to supervise the battle, and beheaded several cowardly officers, and the decline of this sweeping battalion made the battle fall into madness.

The side defending the city was almost supported by Yu Xuan alone, using swords and magic to withstand attacks again and again.

The battle did not stop until dawn. The two fires outside the city had been reduced to ashes.

The mage's mana consumption is very intense, and the battle is unsustainable.

The battle that is determined to be won can only be hastily ended.

Zhang Li frowned, staring at Pingshan Pass, but still refused to give the order to retreat.

Until the sentry reported that the white text of the Xuanzi camp was not far away.

"Withdraw the troops!" Zhang Li looked at Yu Xuan, who was encouraged and supported by the city, and had to choose to give up.

Every time I attack a city, I feel that I am only a little short of victory, but in the end, it always falls short. With a sigh, Zhang Li could only choose to hand over the battlefield to Bai Wen.

Maybe there is some glory that is not destined to belong to you!
