Volume 1 Chapter 76: The Brutal Siege
"The bloodthirsty recipe was also given to me by your predecessors, right?" Knowing that it was the master of the Blue Demon Realm in front of him, Yun Zhong didn't show much surprise, but asked calmly.
The gluttonous evil smiled: "How do you know?"
Yun Zhong said: "The bloodthirsty technique is the practice of the Devouring Dao, and the grade is definitely not low, in this world, the one who has been recognized by the Devouring Dao and achieved the realm of a saint is the predecessor you, this is definitely not a coincidence." ”
Gluttony said: "It's all said, don't call me a senior, I can't stand it, you can just call me by my name." That bloodthirsty recipe can't be regarded as what I gave you, it was Nuyue who begged me to give it to you, if you want to thank you, thank Nuyue. ”
Yun Zhong doubted: "Nuyue?"
"It's that little white fox, why didn't you see her this time?"
Yun Zhong's face was gloomy: "Blame me for my reckless actions in Murwei last time, which caused her to be seriously injured by the white wolf, and she is still recuperating from her injuries." ”
Tao Tao sighed softly, after a long time, he said: "The aura of the Blue Demon Realm is strong, I will arrange another formation, within a radius of a hundred miles here, the demon clan cannot come in again, this is your territory, you can pull your subordinates in to cultivate in the future, the effect is a little better than outside." ”
Yun Zhong was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and waved his hand gluttonously: "Don't be polite to me, you will understand yourself in the future, you better consolidate your cultivation first, and then hurry out to take care of your subordinates." ”
When he finished speaking, he was gone.
Yunzhong sat cross-legged, repairing the injuries of the meridians, and Zijuan maintained the form of a fox, crouching at his feet.
"Are you in trouble outside, do you want me to go out and help you?"
"You also heard just now that there are beings outside who even have to walk around gluttony, and if a demon god like you is involved in the game of these major forces, it will make the situation even more complicated. ”
Zijuan stopped talking, lowered her head, squinted her eyes and pretended to sleep, and secretly thought in her heart: "What kind of existence are you? I obviously heard the gluttony say that you are his eldest brother, and the nine-tailed fox girl Yue, who will not hesitate to harden the white wolf for you." ”
After Yun Zhong walked out of the room, Mo Li, who was guarding the door, was frightened: "What kind of medicine are you taking?
Yunzhong smiled: "I'll explain it to you later." "It has been decided, and after the war, let everyone take turns to enter the Blue Demon Realm to cultivate, and this secret will be revealed at that time.
On the fourth day of the siege of the Xiongnu army, Mu Ying came to report to Yunzhong: "As expected by the lord, the Rakshasa army has arrived, with about 150,000 people, and at least 200,000 people. ”
Yunzhong said softly: "Tell everyone, prepare to defend the city." ”
The next morning, the brutal siege began.
Yunzhong stood on top of the city tower, his face was unwavering, but the people behind him, especially the female generals, were shocked and unbearable on their faces.
Although I have heard it in the clouds a long time ago, what I have seen with my own eyes is always more shocking.
The Rakshasa infantry armed with weapons drove the people who were carried in, carrying cloud ladders and advancing down the city. Thousands of weapons were fired in turn, most of them only holding simple wooden sticks as weapons, and many of them simply used their bare hands, under the attack of bed crossbows and stone shooters, large pieces fell one by one, and there were broken arms and stumps everywhere.
Yunzhong looked at the back of the Rakshasas, where several noble-looking Rakshasas were arguing fiercely, and in the end, someone even drew their swords, but a Hun wearing gold armor strode over, cleanly cut down several Rakshasas, and quelled the commotion.
It wasn't until about five o'clock in the afternoon, when it was already completely dark, that the fighting stopped, or rather, the slaughter, as the horn of withdrawal was sounded in the rear of the Rakshasas.
The merchant soldiers who operated the bed crossbow sat on the ground one after another, and today, each of them killed many enemies, but it did not bring them any joy and sense of accomplishment, and all of them had a look of compassion on their faces.
The second and third days passed like this, and the corpses of the dead Rakshasa people were left untreated, and they were scattered all over the open space outside Tengda, and the black soil turned red.
"How long is this going to be?" asked at noon on the fourth day, watching a small group of civilians being torn to pieces by the crossbows of a bunch of bed crossbows as they rushed to the city.
"Wait until our fortification weapons run out. ”
Mu Ying said in a low voice: "Our city defense weapons can still be used for five days. ”
Yun Zhong also replied in a low voice: "No, our fortification weapons are only enough until noon tomorrow." ”
Mu Ying looked up at Yunzhong, puzzled.
Yunzhong's face was flat: "By tomorrow afternoon, gradually reduce the frequency of use of bed crossbows and stone shooters, and by evening, all staff can only meet the enemy with bows, arrows, stones and melee weapons." ”
Mu Ying's eyes shot with brilliance.
Yunzhong continued: "The day after tomorrow is the same, in this way, the day after tomorrow, the Huns will go into battle on their own." ”
At this time, everyone else also understood, and Gan Ning waved his hand fiercely: "When the time comes, let those Hun wolf cubs taste it again." ”
Yunzhong shook his head: "It's not for them to taste it, our disadvantage is too great, we must seize this limited opportunity to give the Huns a fatal blow." ”
"But there are 300,000 of them, and even if we fire all the firepower, it will be difficult to kill them in heartache. Yan Gang groaned.
The eyes in the clouds looked at the rear of the Huns, where was the great Hun king Attila.
The siege of the Rakshasa people on the fifth day was still completely suppressed by the Shang army's defending weapons in the morning, but in the afternoon, the firepower of the defending weapons weakened significantly, until it even disappeared completely, and the advance of the Rakshasa army gradually became effective, and even many Rakshasa light infantry and civilians rushed to the city to set up ladders, and some Rakshasa soldiers attacked the corners of the city wall with wooden pestles.
Eventually, however, the Rakshasas who rushed to the city were forced to retreat under the attack of the merchant army's bows and arrows and stones.
On the sixth day, the people were still driven to the city, but behind them, followed by a large number of Rakshasa regular troops, including the hoplites who had not been dispatched a few days ago, when the people rushed to the city to set up a ladder, the Rakshasa infantry ants attached to the city, above the city, all the weapons defending the city were dumb, Fina, Lanyu, Ganning, and Asuru each led a team of elite infantry, each guarding one direction, and the Rakshasa army rushed to the city wall to start a fierce hand-to-hand combat, and they were repelled from the city again and again.
The Shang army, which had suffered almost no casualties in the previous five days, also suffered heavy losses on the sixth day, but fortunately, they were in good spirits, held the city, and fought from early morning to evening, finally forcing the Rakshasas to withdraw to the camp after throwing down a large number of corpses.
On the seventh day, the horn outside the city shook the earth, the battle flags of dozens of Rakshasa regiments fluttered, and behind them, there were twenty phalanxes composed of Xiongnu dismounted cavalry, as well as countless nest chariots and battering rams made by the Huns during this time.
Attila, the king of the Huns, finally led a large army to attack the city.
