Chapter 95: Soldiers Descend on the City
The day before Li Ji was rewarded, in the southeast of Xuanxin, Qishui was closed.
Lu Wencheng, a middle-aged guard wearing armor and a knife on his waist, stood in front of the female wall and stopped to look into the distance, and there were many military tents in the open space in front of the pass, just overnight, thousands of elite soldiers went ashore and set up the big camp here.
However, seeing that the enemy's army was strict and orderly, the discipline was clear, the camping and building the village were quite orderly, the patrols and sentry posts arranged were vaguely visible, and the rangers could be seen snooping in the distance, and they came to the city several times to watch, and each took water, chopped wood, built, rectified, and had a clear division of labor.
Looking back again, a group of crooked melons and cracked dates on our side, holding on to the spears are all crooked, some of them have silver sideburns, some people are hunched over and bent over, some people are as thin as hemp poles, all of them are frightened, just seeing the scene under the city has been cowardly before fighting, and the large group of people under the city are at a loss, scattered and anxious, and the chaos is not good.
"I can't stop it!"
Lu Wencheng sighed secretly, but he couldn't blame these people, he just shook his head bitterly.
"Although I claim to have more than 10,000 troops stationed in Qishui Pass, but in fact there are less than 3,000, and all of them are old, weak......, sick and disabled, and the really strong people stay at home to farm, where will they come to this place where the city is closed to waste time?
There are not many elite troops left in the Xuanxin Kingdom, and they have long been transferred to the south to fight against the Nagisa Yuan Kingdom, and now they are caught in the wars against the alliance of the city-states, and the remaining forces on this side are really cold.
This is still the gateway of Qishui Pass to the hinterland, guarded by a garrison, if it is replaced by another county town, a walled city, there may not even be a single soldier, and it is impossible to launch its people to fight to the death, so they can only look at the wind and surrender.
The Shengyuan Kingdom connected ten cities overnight and occupied a large area of frontier territory, which is how it came.
The enemy is as fierce as a tiger, and our side is as weak as a donkey.
Lu Wencheng was not without frustration in his heart, thinking that he could only wait for reinforcements to arrive.
If you send an alien or a monk to help, there is still some room for redemption.
After a while, the drums in the enemy camp sounded, and hundreds of people came to fight in a row, and many more soldiers lined up behind to watch.
The one on the war horse was a young general who was no more than twenty years old, wearing silver armor, majestic, holding a snake spear in his hand, and what was quite surprising was that behind him appeared three ghostly red flames, one the size of a human head, floating on his shoulder.
"It's an Inhuman!"
Lu Wencheng was shocked, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"Fortunately, I also support strangers in Qishui Pass, otherwise I would have just lowered it!"
"Listen to the defenders of Qishui Pass, I am Zhao Yan, the ghost fire general under the command of the general of the Shengyuan Kingdom Expedition to the West, I don't want to die, obediently open the door for me, throw away my weapons and surrender!"
The young general Zhao Yan put the snake spear horizontally and called a formation below.
"The deception is too much, Mao dares to come here to make noise before he grows up, Commander Lu, wait for me to go down and clean him up!"
When everyone heard this, they were annoyed, and immediately stood up with a burly figure and a waist circumference three or five times thicker than ordinary people, and asked for battle angrily.
"Okay, General Han will meet him for a while!" Lu Wencheng readily agreed.
After a while, the strong man of the iron tower carried a spear and rode out of the city.
The drums shook the sky, and in the shouting and cheering of each other, they galloped relatively and fought in one place.
Both of them are outliers among mortals, between monks and mortals, one has the ability of suspected essence fire, the other is like an iron tower, the strength is more than a thousand catties, you come to the flame and shoot, the heat is pressing, I slash the spear, the tiger is windy, not long, the weapons collide, the support frame is resisted, the war horse under the seat neighs non-stop, and the snort steps in circles.
General Hercules Han was a step ahead of Zhao Yan, a young general who was obviously better than Shengyuan Kingdom, in hand-to-hand combat, but Zhao Yan was not an idle person, and soon saw General Han's weakness, retreated from the horse, and ran around him.
General Han rode his horse in pursuit, and Zhao Yan was unaware of Zhao Yan's return shot, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, but unexpectedly, a flame shot over after him, burning on his body.
The blazing flames made General Han scream, and in the midst of the fluttering, he was stabbed in the shoulder by Zhao Yanmeng.
"Ahh
General Han screamed.
Lu Wencheng didn't want to fold the general, so he hurriedly ordered: "Mingjin retreats! Mingjin retreats!"
Boom Boom Boom Boom ......
General Han saw the opportunity to withdraw and fled all the way to the city gate.
Zhao Yan chased a few steps, was forced back by the arrows on the city wall, and was not annoyed, he waved a few times at will, and after swinging away, he laughed: "The dog who lost his family!"
The army of Shengyuan Kingdom all laughed: "Hahahaha......"
"Damn, this son is too deceitful!"
"Commander, let me teach this kid a lesson!"
On the tower of the city, several strangers from Xuanxin's side angrily asked for battle.
Lu Wencheng groaned slightly, but he thought that if he didn't fight behind closed doors, the other party would soon be killed, and the casualties would be even greater.
Now that he has already sent a message asking for help, he can still delay it, at least blow the other party's arrogance.
So he nodded in agreement.
Soon, at the city gate, a master jumped from the city wall several feet high, and then his body was as light as a swallow and fell to the ground.
Most of the strangers in the world are born from the monk's supernatural mana inheritance, and they have all kinds of strange abilities, and this one is obviously able to control gravity to a certain extent, using the earth element magnetism to offset his own weight.
I saw his body tremble, and he rushed towards Zhao Yan as fast as lightning, and in the ghostly figure, a little cold light shot out, like a poisonous snake attacking Zhao Yan's face.
Zhao Yan dodged sideways, and the Zhangba snake spear formed a circle, and fought with it again.
After more than 30 rounds of fighting, Zhao Yan suddenly poked violently, relying on his weapon to be strong, and swinging the sword in the hand of the fast alien, fortunately, the other party reacted quickly and ran away, so he was not directly poked to death.
Rao is like this, he suddenly looked a little helpless after losing his weapon, and after trying it, it was always difficult to get it back.
In the end, he gritted his teeth violently, wanting to rely on his speed to get around behind Zhao Yan, but unexpectedly, a ghost fire drifted in, showing a speed that had not been shown before, and it was pasted on his face on the spot.
His face was suddenly poured with hot oil, and the whole thing burned open.
"Ahh
In the midst of the rapid screams, Zhao Yan speared through his body, and blood spilled on the field.
"General Zhao is mighty!"
"Mighty!"
The morale of the Shengyuan army was greatly boosted.
Zhao Yan still laughed: "Three-legged cat kung fu, dare to stop my Shengyuan army?"
Lu Wencheng was dumbfounded, never thinking that he had lost a general in just two rounds of fighting.
The Xuanxin defenders also looked depressed, and their morale was greatly weakened.
Zhao Yan continued to fight: "But there are still people who dare to come to die, otherwise, your grandfather and I will lead troops to attack!"
Lu Wencheng turned his head to the other strangers standing on the city tower, some people felt that although this Zhao Yan was powerful, he had already fought two battles in a row, and he couldn't say that he could go down to pick up a bargain and make a contribution, so he hugged his fists and came out of the ranks: "Lord Commander, the last general will ask for battle!"
"Okay, it's up to you to fight!" Lu Wencheng gritted his teeth and said.
This battle will be a god with a bias towards dynamic vision, although there are no obvious inhuman characteristics, but combined with the god vision and magic skills, he has exercised good martial arts, and he is also good at darts and bows and arrows, so he may be able to deal with this Zhao Yan.
But soon, Lu Wencheng realized that he was very wrong.
Zhao Yan's strength is not only in his ghost fire ability, but also in his physical fitness and martial arts, if he didn't really show the monk's ability to exorcise divine thoughts, he wouldn't be able to make the Five Elements Spell, almost all of which can be compared to monks.
It took him more than forty rounds to find an opportunity to stab General Xuanxin, and General Zhou's body was crooked and he died on the spot.
Lu Wencheng was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he also regretted it.
Picking and killing two generals one after another, Zhao Yan became more and more excited, and the scolding became more ugly, Xuan Xin Shou General did not believe in evil, and went down to fight with a few people, even including ordinary generals who only relied on their own martial arts, and the result was also almost killed.
After half an hour, the Xuanxin defenders could only hang up the anti-battle card, defend the city, and avoid the battle.
However, the people of the Shengyuan Kingdom were in high spirits, how could they let go of such an opportunity, and immediately ordered the army to attack and launched an attack.
Zhao Yan and several strangers on the Shengyuan side risked the arrows, dared to climb first, and climbed the ladder to kill them, if it weren't for Lu Wencheng to lead people to resist to the death, and kill and injure several of their fierce generals with the help of geographical advantages, I am afraid that this wave would have fallen.
Zhao Yan was slightly injured, but it was fine, leaving behind dozens of corpses on both sides of the enemy, patting his ass and leaving.
From the beginning of the afternoon, the Shengyuan Kingdom no longer tried to attack the city with the largest casualties, and played a strategy.
It's still an Inhuman warrior fighting, but this time, a few more masters climbed from the cliff next to it, wanting to carry out a surprise attack.
If it weren't for the fact that someone in Qishui Pass happened to look up, and then transferred a large number of bows and crossbows to force them back, it would have been a lot of chaos.
The people of Shengyuan have a lot of tricks, they called the formation and jumped to pick up the frontal raid, the frontal raid could not be attacked and they engaged in special operations, and the special operations were not good and they were scolded, and the defenders could only follow their rhythm to fight, and they were led to have no temper.
If it weren't for the convenience of the city and the terrain, I am afraid that I would not be able to hold it for even a day.
The second day was the third day of the third month of March, Lu Wencheng looked gloomy, and came upstairs again to observe the enemy's situation, but suddenly his pupils shrank.
The other party's tent has increased a lot!
There is also the scale of burying the pot to make rice......
Soon another spy came to report: "Report...... Your Excellency, enemy reinforcements have arrived, and there are more than 5,000 of them!"
Lu Wencheng hissed, and his face showed horror: "More than 5,000 people, plus the original ones, that is nearly 10,000!"
In fact, even if there are tens of thousands of troops, they may not be able to attack, the key is that there must be no shortage of strangers in the opposing army.
Guanzhong Yiren plus himself, there are only ten of them, and yesterday they folded two, but the other party seems to have reached more than twenty, all of them have a battalion, with the title of miscellaneous general, and each erects a battle flag.
Counting the martial arts powerhouses among pure mortals, there are at least more than fifty generals who can fight!
Lu Wencheng is an insightful person and vaguely knows the reason.
Xuanxin Kingdom is still able to discover strangers and serve as generals in the army, Shengyuan Kingdom is politically clear, attaches great importance to military merits, and civilian backgrounds are likely to be marquis and prime ministers, so how can they be ignored?
Shengyuan has a higher status and greater benefits in China, so he is naturally willing to work hard, and even foreign people are often attracted and take the initiative to take refuge.
The rate of monk qualifications among the lay people is one in a thousand, and in fact, there are many who are buried alive and alive, and they have no chance to embark on the path of cultivation until they die, and they can be rare to the point of being one in a thousand.
Inhumans belong to a type of existence that is naturally awakened, and as long as the ability is born, it will be self-aware or known, and it will hardly be buried, so it can often be one out of a thousand, one out of five hundred, or even higher.
Excluding those who are not suitable for frontal combat, those who take care of the homes of the rich and noble are mostly highly concentrated in the army and in places such as the Hearsy Division.
"Oh no, they're going to attack!"
The development of things was as expected, and after a short rest, several battalions of soldiers and horses did not even bother to eat breakfast, so they came to call for battle in front of the pass.
What else can the Xuanxin guard do? can only be a turtle with a shrunken head.
But even if it was a turtle with a shrunken head, it was useless, and at noon, the other party launched a new round of strong attack.
Led by a jumper, they slaughtered the defenders with a large number of thunderbolts, creating a no-man's land on the walls.
"Oh no, it's going to be lost!"
Lu Wencheng's heart was shocked, and he rushed forward with people desperately, trying to force him back, but unexpectedly, the masters among the other party appeared frequently, and they all concentrated in that corner and swarmed up.
"Dang!"
In the melee, Lu Wencheng's weapon, a palm-wide broad-faced combat knife, were knocked off, Lu Wencheng subconsciously wiped the blood on his face, but suddenly felt different.
It's not your own blood, it's alive.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that in front of him, a Saint Yuan Kingdom general's palm was broken, and with disbelief, he looked to the side.
It was a pure gold flying sword that was a foot long, with a sharp edge and no handle, and it was like a shuttle, and it was slowly stopping with the remaining momentum, and then with a steep shock, it flew high and broke away from the ground below that might be trapped.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the noisy battlefield suddenly became silent.
At this time, they suddenly discovered that there were four more well-dressed young men and women above their heads, one by one wearing brocade clothes and stepping on auspicious clouds, like gods in the sky descending to earth.
The people of Shengyuan were terrified: "Repair ...... Monk ......"
"Immortal Master! It's our Xuanxin Immortal Master here!"
Lu Wencheng came to his senses violently, blushed his neck, held his strength, and spread his voice in all directions!
"Oh!"
There was thunder in the Qishui Pass!
Correspondingly, it was the side of the Shengyuan Kingdom, and all the people who attacked it did not hesitate, and immediately turned around and ran back, even if they were only one last step away from capturing this city.
At the same time, in the army of the Shengyuan Kingdom, several figures suddenly appeared and quickly walked out from the depths of the tent.
Each of them wore his own robes, dressed as outsiders.
This turned out to be a monk, from the very beginning, there were monks in the army of the Shengyuan Kingdom, but because they had other plans, or they were afraid of killing and robbing, they did not intervene directly.
Until then, it was their chance to make a move.
The monk of the Shengyuan Kingdom condensed his voice and said from afar: "Who is coming?"
But he saw that among the four young monks, the first one descended the clouds.
"Xuan Xinguo, Li Zhen. ”
