Chapter 404 Climb the wall and fight
Compared with the battle at the South Gate, the battle around the rest of the walls of Daoren City was not so fierce, even if the South Gate had been lost, the rest of the city walls were still struggling to support.
Outside the eastern section of the city wall, in a dry river beach covered with countless grasses, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.
A carriage, escorted by several horsemen, rushed out of the river beach, and the wheels were crushed against the flat ground with the green grass juice.
The wounded Northern Wei sergeants were all sent to the outer edge of the battlefield, and hundreds of wounded sergeants saw the carriage clearly for the first time, and when they saw some markings painted with white bone powder around the carriage, their expressions suddenly became awe and fear.
Not far from the wounded Northern Wei sergeants, the carriage and the guards stopped, and the people in the carriage and the guards around them did not seem to care about the battle on the eastern section of the city wall, but were just watching the battle to the south.
One of the guards approached the carriage slightly, then nodded, firing an arrow.
After the sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, a cloud of dust and smoke came from outside the south gate.
A Northern Wei general in black light armor jumped off his horse and bowed to the people in the carriage.
"Why haven't you conquered it yet?"
"There are two Divine Mind Realm cultivators. ”
"One is the owner of the Falling Moon Zhai, and the other is?"
"The lord of the city will be in winter. ”
"The main general in the city, Jin Dong, can his cultivation be on par with Lan Huaigong and those generals in the border army who are several orders higher than him?"
The Northern Wei Dynasty general who rushed to report the military situation has been bowing down and not daring to raise it, he has to answer any questions, but when he heard such a question, he was a little panicked in his heart, he didn't know how to answer this question, he could guess, but he understood that the other party didn't like to answer questions by guessing at all.
At this time, when the military situation was unfavorable, he did not dare to risk angering the other party at all.
"It seems that the news of his feud with Lan Huaigong and the high-ranking generals of the Yongwu Army is true. Just as he hesitated and his body trembled slightly, the guard who had fired the arrow earlier glanced at him and whispered.
The Northern Wei general's body suddenly relaxed, and he was very grateful to Xiao Donghuang's close attendant.
"End the main battle before sunset. ”
There was no emotion-free sound from the carriage.
......
This carriage came a little faster than Lin Yi, but after the arrival of this carriage, on a certain path less than a few miles away from Daoren City, two carriages also arrived quietly.
Chen Qianru, the military advisor of the Chen family of the Southern Dynasty, walked out of one of the carriages.
Both he and the several green-shirted cultivators who followed him looked unusually tired, but the expressions on their faces were calm.
The more important he was in a position that could determine the fate of the entire Southern Dynasty, the heavier the pressure he was on, and when he came to the battlefield with the idea of dying, it was much easier than before.
In his opinion, in the matter of conspiring with the Demon Sect and the Tiger to deal with Xiao Hong, it was precisely because the situation of the war was too severe that some of the things he insisted on were a little shaken, and he could no longer waver in the matter of assisting the Chen family.
The goal he pursued in this life was to make the Chen family rise in the troubled times.
For him, whether it was the previous dynasty or the Southern Liang after Xiao Yan ascended the throne, it was a turbulent and turbulent era, and the Wei Dynasty in the north was eyeing the entire Southern Dynasty at any time.
The current Chen family has won the trust of the emperor, and its strength is not much different from that of the Xiao family, so he must use death to make the emperor understand that everything he does is only to win this war, so that the emperor's anger will not spread.
Unlike Lin Yi, he has a clearer understanding of the entire battle situation, and it can even be said that he has some degree of control.
He knew that Wei Rui, the general of the Mingwei border army, was coming from Hezhou in the southwest, and Cao Jingzong of the Yongwu border army had already arrived in Huaishui, as long as Daoren City and Zhongli City could delay for some time, all the troops of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying would take a sharp turn for the worse under the condition of excessive exhaustion, which would be very beneficial to the Southern Dynasty.
It was precisely because he knew that the difference was only time, so his opinion was surprisingly consistent with Lin Yi.
The Daoren City is bound to be broken, but there are still many Southern Dynasty soldiers fighting, even if they are all swept away by Xiao Donghuang's army in the end, they can't give up directly.
......
Jin Dong clutched a sword wound on his chest and abdomen, leaned against a courtyard wall, he swallowed a wound medicine, and then slowly breathed.
He had already retreated from the battlefield outside the city into the streets of the city, and although he had killed several Northern Wei cultivators, he had also paid a heavy price.
At this time, his right hand had been fractured, and the wound between his chest and abdomen was deep in his internal organs, and if he used his true yuan violently in the next battle, the wound would collapse again.
His true yuan was only forty percent left, and the elixir that replenished the true yuan on his body was also taken before a few breaths.
At this time, the Southern Dynasty soldiers inside and outside the South Gate have been completely defeated, and under the impact of some of the Zhenyuan heavy armor that newly joined the battlefield in the Northern Wei Dynasty, only half of those Southern Dynasty soldiers who were close to exhaustion could retreat into the streets and alleys like him, and the rest who were still fighting outside would be wiped out in a short period of time.
As the commander of the city, he was responsible for defending the entire city, and he was reluctant to die outside, not because he wanted to survive, but because he knew very well that if even he died, the morale of the city would be completely broken, and all those soldiers would die faster.
At that moment, he heard a loud noise coming from the southwestern wall.
He squinted his eyes and looked up, only to see a large cloud of smoke and dust exploding on the wall.
He knew better than anyone how many powerful cultivators there were in the military in the city, so on that city wall, there should be a powerful cultivator from the Northern Wei Dynasty who had joined the battle.
At the same time, the roar of many ordnance resounded on the walls of the South Gate.
The whizzing weight was not thrown outside the city, but inside.
The Northern Wei Dynasty had already taken control of some of the heavy ordnance on the city walls, and Jin Dong listened to the sound of breaking the air, and before he could turn around, he could already smell the smell of new phosphorus and sulfur in the air.
Many fireworks were lit in the streets of the city.
The more elite the army, the less likely it is to make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, Xiao Donghuang's Northern Wei army knew very well that when the city he guarded began to catch fire everywhere, the morale of the Southern Dynasty army that was still resisting would be extremely low.
A rainstorm is needed to not only extinguish the flames, but also to envelop the entire battlefield in unclear rain and fog in exchange for some respite.
However, last night's thunderstorm seemed to dispel even the moisture in the sky, and the sky was clear.
This link is linked to each other, and it seems that they are all in the calculation of the other party.
......
Lin Yi approached the city a little later than Chen Qianru.
When he really approached the city and listened to the shouts of killing coming from all directions, most of the majestic city was already burning with fireworks.
Many houses are burning, but no one has the leisure to extinguish them.
The smell he smelled in the wind between his breaths was not so much burnt and bloody as a strong smell of food.
That's the characteristic smell of the granary when it starts burning.
There should be more granaries in the city than he thought.
"North, we go in from the north. ”
"I'm not like you, so you try not to make a move at first, just follow me, unless something threatens me. Rongyi, you're a little troublesome, you help me collect my weapons. ”
No one questioned Lin Yi's decision, the three of them followed behind Lin Yi in silence, even if Bai Yuelu was asked to decide, she would make the same choice.
Both sides invested the least amount of military strength on the northern wall, and at this time the battle in the south had penetrated deep into the streets, and the eastern part of the city wall had been completely lost, while the battle on the north wall was fierce, but there was no strong aura fluctuation.
If there is no strong aura fluctuation, it means that there are no powerful cultivators, and rushing in from here should be the most gentle, the least to attract the attention of the enemy so quickly, and no one can trap them, they will be able to play more roles.
.......
The absence of powerful aura fluctuations does not mean that there is no existence of Northern Wei cultivators.
A Northern Wei cultivator in armor sat on a ruined ballista on the city wall, his hands on his chin, and seemed to look at the Southern Dynasty soldiers on the city wall with despair in their eyes.
The armor on his body was bronze, but the runes were crimson, and even if the true element was not infused, a crimson flame light flowed inside the runes.
He had already received an order to speed up the end of the battle, but he still felt that his precious True Yuan should be left to the other party's cultivators, and whether or not the whole battle could speed up the process should have nothing to do with the section of the city wall he was in.
Therefore, the picture of him sitting quietly on this broken ballista at this time looks very strange.
Suddenly, his eyes brightened.
His black hair hanging from his armor rose back, instantly shaking away all the dust and dried blood. His entire body leaped up with unimaginable agility and turned.
The strange sound of breaking the air behind him meant that a cultivator had appeared on the other side, which made him feel a little happy in his heart.
The moment he turned around, the emotions in his heart became complicated, and he even had some doubts.
Flying in front of him was a short spear.
The surface of this short spear was jet black, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of black feathers, and the sound of breaking through the air was extremely small, but it gave him a sense of majesty.
It's just that what cultivator would use such a weapon to attack a cultivator wearing True Yuan Heavy Armor?
He couldn't understand it, he didn't want to waste his strength, and he needed to guard against the other party's next surprise attack.
So he just followed his usual fighting style, bending his knees slightly, ready for the oncoming impact, while raising his left arm very simply and simply.
He has a round shield on his left arm.
As his true essence flowed in an orderly manner, the crimson runes on his body completely lit up, and the armor on his body, which was already very bright, became even more gorgeous and dazzling like countless crimson roses blooming.
There was a soft thud.
Spears and shields collide.
The shield cracked, and the spear then pierced his arm, with a hearty force, and then deep into his chest.
Blood and shards of metal splattered.
This Northern Wei cultivator's body slammed into the ballista behind him, and his heart was a little dazed, and he didn't even know what was going on.
The next moment, a large amount of blood spurted out of his chest, taking away his strength, and he fell into extreme horror and disbelief.
What kind of flying spear is this, that can penetrate his arm shield and his chest armor?
More than a dozen Northern Wei soldiers rushed in front of this Northern Wei cultivator, looking at the flying spear that pierced his arm and pierced deep into his chest, they all gasped, and their eyes were full of intense fear.
At this moment, a strange sound of breaking the air reappeared.
With a loud howl, they turned their heads and saw a canopy of blood mist pouring out of a Northern Wei general with two swords.
The official rank of that Northern Wei general was not high, but he was also a cultivator of the Destiny Palace Realm, but at this time, what was deeply embedded in his back was just an irregular iron weapon, which should be the remnant of a certain piece of armor on the battlefield.
Someone actually threw just one such thing, but still hit such a cultivator hard.
To the horror of all of them, the wall under their feet trembled slightly, and there was a sharp knock on the wall, like the hooves of a war horse.
At this moment, many of them had the illusion that someone was driving a horse up the city wall.
......
Lin Yi's soles kept stepping on the city wall.
After throwing two things in a row, he rushed across the moat on the broken pontoon bridge of the Northern Wei people, and then rushed to the city wall.
He didn't care how Bai Yuelu and the others climbed the wall, cultivators who could use the True Yuan had many ways to overcome such obstacles, but for him, he only relied on brute force.
The sword in his hand kept piercing into the city wall, and with the pedaling of his footsteps, his whole person seemed to be bowing down and running wildly on the flat ground.
In just a few breaths, the wall in front of him was gone.
He rushed into the sky above, then fell again.
Before his feet landed on the wall, several sharp arrows had been accurately shot at his body, but no blood bloomed, and these sharp arrows broke off his body, but the arrows did not fall to the ground, and all of them were sucked into the bracelet of his left hand.
This extremely accurate number of arrows also exposed several of the most skilled archery archers of the Northern Wei Dynasty on this section of the city wall.
Lin Yi glanced at the several archers who cast the arrows, but the figures disappeared like ghosts.
In the next moment, with the shocked screams of some Northern Wei soldiers, his feet had already stepped heavily on the chest of the Northern Wei cultivator who was lying on the ballista, and the strength of his feet stepped on the heavy armor on the chest of the Northern Wei cultivator to a slight depression, and then without stopping, the short spear that pierced the cultivator's chest was pierced deeper by him, and then pulled out.
