Chapter 53: Attack and Defend (Part I)

The small council hall on the city tower was crowded with people, and Mo Yiyue was seen holding a wooden branch and deducing the offensive tactics of the Xinghai Sect on the sand table.

"There is no need to increase the defense of the north and south gates, and we must concentrate our main forces on the west gate. Mo Yiyue focused on the location of the West Gate, and her voice was low but confident.

The situation outside the West Gate is obvious to all, and the Xinghai Sect obviously wants to concentrate superior forces and forcibly gnaw down the West Gate. So when Mo Yiyue said this, everyone agreed.

Seeing that everyone agreed with her point of view, Mo Yiyue lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then held the wooden branch tightly in her hand: "At present, with the absolute superiority of the Xinghai Sect over our troops, launching a fierce attack is the most effective and direct tactic.

But at this moment, it will be late, and the Xinghai Sect will not attack the city overnight, I expect that he will launch a tentative attack before sunset, even if it is tentative, with their absolute superiority in troops, we will have to do our best. Only after this first round of offensive will we have a night's respite. ”

Chu Shui and Mu Yuncheng stood behind Mo Yiyue. She was very curious when she saw that Mo Yiyue was analyzing the battle situation, mobilizing people and assigning tasks, so she whispered in Mu Yuncheng's ear: "How can he know so much, do you also know about marching and fighting?"

Seeing Chu Shuiyu take the initiative to ask himself, Mu Yuncheng was very happy in his heart, only to see him squint his eyes into the shape of a crescent moon, and whispered to her: "I'm nothing, but Yi Yue is a closed disciple of Jiang Ting, who knows astronomy and geography, and is absolutely foolproof under his command." ”

Although his voice was small, the people around him could hear it clearly. Who doesn't know Jiang Ting! There are two emperors and one person through the ages. He was the mentor of the first two emperors of the dynasty, until the death of the first emperor Mangyi, he lived in seclusion in Yuanting Mountain, and no longer asked about the rise and fall of the dynasty.

And his apprentice must also be a peerless warrior.

When everyone was distracted, they suddenly heard a heaven-shattering cannon, and the sound of marching and killing suddenly resounded through the four fields.

"They're really going to attack the city!" Mu Yuncheng suddenly came back to his senses, looked out with his eyes, and said in surprise.

Mo Yiyue dropped the wooden branch and led everyone out of the conference hall. As far as the eye could see, the black-clothed cultists of the Xinghai Sect were overwhelming, as if dark clouds were sweeping towards the city gate.

"Shoot arrows!" At the sound of the order, the sharp arrows in the city flew out together, falling like a drizzle of cattle.

The sharp arrows did slow down the attack speed of the "dark clouds", but seeing the soldiers approaching the city, the arrows could not stop them from climbing the city walls.

The city wall of Jiangzhou City is tall and thick, and the ladder to climb the wall needs to be continued in the routine, and it is extremely inconvenient to lift. It seems that such ladders are built on top of the city walls, and it is difficult to attack from above without cover. And the Xinghai Sect not only has siege artillery, but also has a well-ground rushing car to cooperate with the siege. From a distance, these huge machines more than ten meters high were like fierce beasts ready to attack, slowly passing through the crowd and heading straight for the city gate.

Archery is useless, but fortunately, the city defense in Jiangzhou City has not been abandoned, and the equipment for defending the city is still complete. Replaced with a sassal rolling stone, and threw it out with a bang, and the Xinghai Sect members who had just climbed halfway up were scraped by this barbed sassafras and fell down in an instant. If he was next to a rolling stone, he would immediately break his head and die. Billowing black smoke filled the city gates, and under the city walls, there was even more blood and drifting, and the dead were sleeping.

The power of the Xinghai Sect's siege equipment was also very powerful, and under the cover of artillery fire and crossbow arrows, the guards on the city wall also suffered heavy casualties. The siege lasted only half an hour, and a small number of Xinghai Sect members climbed the city wall and fought to the death with the guards and soldiers.

Seeing that the Xinghai Sect members climbed the city wall, the city gate became even more precarious under the impact of the rushing car. Although Chu Shui Yu and a group of heroes have joined the battle situation, they do not seem to play a very obvious role in the battle situation that is showing a tendency to fall.

At this time, Mu Yuncheng also followed behind everyone, trying his best to resist the Xinghai Sect members who climbed the city wall. Although he was afraid of seeing dead people, he didn't dare to behave too timidly in front of everyone, especially in front of Chu Shuiyu. After all, with the support of the sword, Mu Yuncheng would not be unable to use any strength.

The number of soldiers defending the city is not much, and if one of the guards dies, the follow-up ones cannot be replaced. As a result, the number of people from the Xinghai Sect who climbed the city wall became more and more numerous, and they began to defend the city on the one hand, and they still occupied the advantageous position. But now it has become an even situation, and you are fighting fiercely on the city wall.

Suddenly, a huge snake-like monster appeared on the southern city wall, only to see it rampage, the giant tail swept away, and all the Star Sea Cultists flew down to the city. The body forged by the cold iron was invulnerable, and the speed was extremely fast, so that the people of the Xinghai Sect who had just attacked the city wall, and the people of the Xinghai Sect, who had just been excited, instantly became miserable. With the help of the sword, the side of the city wall where Mu Yuncheng was located was already safe. I saw him with his hands behind his head, following the sword and strolling leisurely through the narrow aisles.

Many Xinghai Sect disciples who had not yet gotten down the ladder suddenly saw the fierce appearance of the sword dragon, and they were so frightened that they secretly retreated from the ladder. What's more, because there were too many climbing cultists gathered behind him, but in order to avoid the sword, he simply closed his eyes and jumped down, even if he was unlucky, he tried to fall into a whole corpse. And if it is swept by the giant tail of the sword, it will be the result of almost ashes.

Chu Shuiyu, who originally learned that the south was in danger, hurried over from the other side. But seeing Mu Yuncheng walking leisurely down the aisle, when the Star Sea Sect disciples saw him coming, they all jumped off the wall in fear, which really puzzled her.

With the protection of the sword from the side, Mu Yuncheng's courage became bigger and bigger. At first, he only dared to follow behind the sword, and would never go too far from the sword. And when he found out that the Xinghai Sect members were terrified when they saw the sword, Mu Yuncheng was able to take charge of the fox and the tiger.

And his main job is to knock down those ladders that no one climbs, so that the people behind him will not continue to come up.

But the Xinghai Sect was afraid of the sword alone, and they were not afraid of Mu Yuncheng. He was alone and far away from the sword, and only focused on pushing down the ladder. And he didn't notice that on a cloud ladder next to him, there were newly climbed up Xinghai Sect members who didn't notice the figure of the sword flyer. He saw Mu Yuncheng pushing the ladder here, sneaked around behind him from the side, raised the long knife in his hand and slashed from behind. And this scene happened to happen to Chu Shui Yu, so she immediately shouted at Mu Yuncheng: "Big idiot, be careful behind you!"

Just reminding him would definitely not save Mu Yuncheng, and when he reacted suddenly and turned his head to look, he couldn't dodge left and right, only to see a cold light from the long knife, and slashed towards the door in front of him.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, only to see Chu Shuiyu rush forward with an arrow step, and kick it on the handle of the man's knife, the man's wrist shook, and the long knife flew out a zhang away.

But that man's reaction was also very fast, as soon as the long knife came out of his hand, he immediately turned into a fist with one hand, turned around and struck Mu Yuncheng's chest. knocked Mu Yuncheng over and fell from the city wall.

Before Mu Yuncheng could react, he was punched in the chest. He only felt that there was no strength around him, and his body immediately fell backwards lightly, and when he came back to his senses, he had already fallen downward. I saw that the pupils of his eyes dilated sharply at this moment, and he instinctively stretched out one arm to survive.

At this time, a slender hand seemed to be sent by the gods, and his hand was firmly grasped in the air. A warmth continued to spread from his little hand to Mu Yuncheng's body, and Mu Yuncheng looked at it calmly, but it was Chu Shuiyu lying on the edge of the city wall, reaching out and trying to grab himself, so that he would not fall down.

"Water Ballad ......"

Mu Yuncheng never thought of this scene, heroes save beauty? Yes, it's just that the roles played by the two should be reversed.

I don't know whose hands are sweating, causing the hands of the two to seem to be coated with a layer of grease, and there is a tendency to slip away.

"Give me your other hand. Seeing this, Chu Shui Yu hurriedly shouted at him and stretched out his other hand.

And the Xinghai Sect member behind him was willing to be ignored by the two, only to see him hurriedly pick up the long knife next to him and slash at Chu Shuiyu's back. At this time, Jian Yu had already realized Mu Yuncheng's danger, and hurriedly turned around to protect the two, but before he could reach the two of them, the man's long knife had already fallen, even if he really had lightning speed, he couldn't stop it if he wanted to stop it at this moment......

With a bang, the long sword that shone with clear light flew out, and its sword roar was like a dragon's roar, only to see the white horse-like light flash away. The long knife in the man's hand fell to the ground, and his heart was pierced by the Taiyi dragon pattern that guarded Chu Shuiyu's safety!
