Chapter 201: Reinforcements Arrive
The meridians of the human body, intertwined, are hidden in the human body. When cultivating Dou Qi for the first time, the moment Dou Qi is injected into the meridians, it can light up the meridians of the whole body, this process is called meridian activation, and it is also a symbol of officially stepping into the ranks of cultivators from ordinary people.
The various systems of the human body are complicated and chaotic, and the meridian system is even more complicated. Depending on the physique of the practitioner, the meridians manifest in different ways, so many people believe that there is not only one meridian in the human body. And in the process of growth, the meridians that are more suitable for one's physique remain, and eventually reach a level that can withstand cultivation.
Cultivators who cultivate special Dou Qi and cultivators who cultivate ordinary Dou Qi are not the same in terms of the method of absorbing the power of nature or the way they operate after entering the meridians. Therefore, cultivators with special Dou Qi are believed to have activated another meridian in the human body, and each special Dou Qi flows through a different meridian.
However, the normal growth of one meridian will inevitably lead to the depletion and disappearance of other meridians, and in the majestic Dou Qi cultivation system, there has never been a person who has two meridians at the same time.
But now, in Huang Yuchen's body, there are two meridians at the same time, and these two meridians are connected into one because of the mixed yuan array engraved on his chest.
This change caused Huang Yuchen's total amount of fighting qi and condensation to be far higher than that of monks of the same level, and even higher than that of monks at the level of martial artists. And when the Dou Qi was running, the Dou Qi in one meridian was surging wildly, penetrating the whole body, and the Dou Qi in the other meridian passed through the Mixed Yuan Array, continuously replenishing and consuming. At the same time, the automatic absorption of the power of nature brought by the two meridians was also more than twice as fast as before.
It is precisely because of this phenomenon that Huang Yuchen felt that his fighting spirit was constantly flowing in the battle, and his body did not feel tired.
In the process of looking inside, Huang Yuchen clearly saw the two meridians in his body, and the fighting qi in it moved relatively, and after passing through the mixed yuan array, it became a fighting qi moving in the same direction. And the Mixed Yuan Array, to a certain extent, became a part of his meridians.
In this regard, Huang Yuchen was not too surprised, in the previous cultivation, the fighting qi would automatically pass through the mixed yuan array, and then enter the meridians, and at this moment, there was an extra meridian, which did not have much impact on his overall cultivation.
Simply closing his eyes and pranayama, Huang Yuchen didn't notice too many changes in his body, the strength of his musculoskeletal strength was the same as before, and his overall combat power and cultivation level had not changed. It's just that in terms of the total amount of fighting energy and endurance, it has been greatly enhanced, which is also on the side, enhancing their combat effectiveness.
After a simple pranayama, Huang Yuchen opened his eyes, and the whole person felt radiant and energetic.
After looking left and right, Yu Sheng was sitting cross-legged on his side, pranayama with his eyes closed. Huang Yuchen didn't bother the rest of his life, but got up softly and went straight out of the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
After several life-and-death battles, the rest of his life consumes a lot, and he has to be responsible for the deployment of the entire Changxiang City, so he has very little time to rest. At this moment, I have this moment of free time, and I will seize the time to repair for the rest of my life.
Huang Yuchen walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and walked around the city and countryside. In the small city, there are all kinds of weapons, and in the city, two brigades are repairing near the city wall, respectively near the front and rear gate city walls. And on the wall of the front and rear gates, the soldiers in charge of defense waited for him. On the sentry post, several sergeants stared intently at the enemy camp in the distance, and if there was any abnormal movement, they would notify the whole city as soon as possible.
The more than 200 civilians who appeared in the city at the beginning of the war also returned to their houses at this moment, and no matter what their mood was, the battle in Changxiang City was inevitable. If they want to survive, they can only hope for victory for the rest of their lives, and knock all the enclave soldiers back.
At the beginning of the night, everything was shrouded in the hazy moonlight, and the enemy camp did not move at all day, which made Huang Yuchen a little puzzled. They gave up the best opportunity to take Changxiang City, and they didn't attack for a day, so wouldn't the sergeants who had invested before die in vain?
Huang Yuchen didn't understand the enemy's intentions, and he only had a few guesses about this matter.
It should be as Yu Sheng said, the enemy does not want to give his side any chance. As soon as the troops arrived, they attacked immediately, investing half of the total force, about 10,000 people to attack Changxiang City, but in the end they were repulsed under Huang Yuchen's fire formation and the rest of his life's desperate counterattack. And the rest of the enemy, the front and rear gates each have about 5,000, such a force, may only be able to survey and resist the breakthrough of Changxiang City, if you put troops into the siege, the enemy's defensive force will be overstretched, if at this time Yu Sheng led the team to rush out of the city gate, using the momentum of the cavalry to point directly at the enemy camp, it is indeed possible to break out of the encirclement, escape.
The enemy is obviously waiting for reinforcements in this way. And Huang Yuchen figured out what he meant for the rest of his life, he probably also wanted to attract all the enemy troops defending in this vicinity to Changxiang City, so as to clear the way to Wufeng City.
But Huang Yuchen doesn't know what the last hole card is for the rest of his life, just with the three thousand defenders in the city, if he really encounters a large-scale attack by the enemy, self-protection is a problem, how to break through, and how to go to Wufeng City.
In the hazy night, the enemy camp is like a dormant beast, waiting for the most opportune moment to kill with one blow.
It's been a long time, it's night, it's late.
On the hills on both sides, the sound of insects chirping was heard from time to time, and the time that belonged to them had come.
The sound of neat military boots stomping on the ground came from the official road at the front door. Huang Yuchen stood on the front gate wall and clearly saw the arrival of enemy reinforcements.
Under the moonlight, the enemy army marched in a neat step, gathered near the original enemy camp, the phalanx was neatly arranged, densely packed, piled up the entire official road and the open space on both sides.
Huang Yuchen, frowning slightly, after this day's march, the enemy's reinforcements finally arrived.
But looking at the reinforcements at the front door, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people.
"Enemy reinforcements have arrived!"
The sergeant at the sentry immediately informed the entire city of Changxiang about the enemy's movements, and at the same time, the sergeant at the back gate reported the same news.
Yu Sheng quickly came out of the City Lord's Mansion and rushed to the wall of the back gate, squinting his eyes and looking at the enemy formation that was gathering in the distance, his eyes were cold.
Huang Yuchen quickly walked through the entire Changxiang City and came to Yu Sheng's side. Enemy reinforcements have arrived, and the arrangements behind it need to be told in detail for the rest of my life.
Yu Sheng glanced sideways at Huang Yuchen and smiled lightly. This smile, reflected under the rule of the moonlight, made Huang Yuchen feel a little cunning.
"You don't need to think about it, wait for my signal, when you see the fireworks, activate all the formations you can, and until then, just defend normally. Yu Sheng smiled and said to Huang Yuchen: "The enemy army supports 20,000 troops this time, most of them must be recruits who have not fought or civilians who have been forcibly pulled onto the battlefield. ”
Huang Yuchen was stunned when he heard this, when he gave orders to the thirty-six centurions for the rest of his life before, Huang Yuchen hadn't woken up yet, he naturally didn't know the arrangement for the rest of his life before, and now he heard that his reaction was not much different from the reaction of many centurions before.
In such a chaotic siege battle, how to distinguish whether the enemy is a soldier or a civilian?
"Just try to keep your hands open. Yu Sheng saw Huang Yuchen's blank face and said, "If you can't identify it, you just need to kill it directly, and you don't have to think too much." After a pause, he continued: "You prepare a war horse under the city, if you see my fireworks, activate the fire array at the front door, and rush to the back door as soon as possible." ”
Huang Yuchen nodded slightly, thinking about the rest of his life as he walked in the direction of the front door.
The front and rear city walls, at this moment, Huang Yuchen and Yu Sheng must be separated, scattering the strongest combat power. At the critical moment, Huang Yuchen can repel the enemy's attack through the fire array, and for the rest of his life, he can help the sergeant defend the back door with his powerful force.
The distance from the front gate to the back door of Changxiang City is a few miles away, and the rest of his life asked Huang Yuchen to prepare a war horse, so that he could rush to the back door as soon as possible and activate the fire array. Huang Yuchen's fighting ability is far inferior to the rest of his life, and his speed is not at the same level at all, relying on himself to hurry, the speed will not be too fast.
Huang Yuchen led a war horse in the city, placed the war horse under the city wall of the front gate, and he walked quickly and climbed the city wall of the front gate in a few steps.
At this moment, the enemy's formation has been assembled, and the reinforcements have been fully integrated into the previous formation. Now, the entire enemy phalanx looks several times larger than before, and all kinds of siege equipment are readily available.
The trebuchet, which had not been put into battle by the enemy before, was now placed in the middle of the formation, and the enemy would definitely use this weapon in this attack.
Trebuchets can be used to shoot boulders or tree trunks outside the range of the longbow to directly attack the city walls, and are a great threat to the walls and the soldiers defending the city.
Huang Yuchen narrowed his eyes and looked at the trebuchet in the distance, making a quick calculation in his heart. If this trebuchet really starts to attack, with the seven or eight zhang high walls of Changxiang City, I am afraid that it will be smashed open without a few blows.
Just when he was thinking about the strategy, in the city behind him, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and Huang Yuchen immediately turned around, only to see hundreds of black-armored iron horsemen, neatly arranged in front of the front door, black helmets and black armor, should be in the bright moonlight, a smashing and solemn.
Looking in the direction of the back door again, there were the same number of black-armored iron horsemen gathered, and Huang Yuchen's heart moved, and he immediately understood what was going on.
To deal with the enemy's trebuchet, you must destroy it as soon as possible, otherwise it will pose a great threat to the city wall. Yu Sheng must have seen the same trebuchet at the back door, and immediately ordered a brigade to assemble and prepare for a surprise attack to destroy the enemy's trebuchet.
Huang Yuchen saw the black-armored iron cavalry shrouded in the bright moonlight under the city, and a sense of security was born in his heart for no reason, with them, the enemy's trebuchet would no longer be a threat.
"Woo......"
At this moment, a dull sound of trumpets was heard in the enemy camp.
The formation of the enemy troops, moved.
