Chapter 100: Prepare for battle
Rao An South City Tower.
Tian Qi looked at Gao gradually leaving the order, turned to look at the remaining Sheng Qi and ordered: "You also go and select the martial artists who refine and refine the qi, as well as the martial artists who have reached the acquired return to the Yuan realm and the marrow washing realm, and assemble them separately." ”
"Good. "Victory seven cherish the word like gold.
One order after another was instructed and passed on by Tian Qi.
When the old ghost received Gao Yuanli's order, he took the lead in bringing the three hundred guards of the Yin family to the south city gate, and stepped into the city tower alone to Tian Qi's side: "Lord, I don't know what you plan to do?"
Tian Qi looked outside the city from afar and found that the Zhao army was already preparing for the second attack, and commanded with a serious expression: "Old ghost, you go to Sheng, and add the three hundred guards under our command to the warriors selected by Shengqi, and I will be of great use later." ”
The old ghost nodded and knew that the situation was urgent, so he took the order and turned to leave.
With the addition of the old ghost, He Shengqi and the two quickly selected suitable warriors separately.
However, with the protection of the 100 refining and refining qi of the Yin Mansion, the number of martial artists refining and refining qi can reach more than 150 people.
Among them, there are more than 300 people in the Peak Returning Yuan Realm of the Day After Tomorrow, and there are more than 600 martial artists who have reached the Perfection of the Essence Purification Realm of the Day After Tomorrow, but the two together can barely reach the number of 1,000.
During this period, Gao Yanli, who was instructed by Tian Qi to collect gold juice, also quickly led everyone back to the south city gate, and brought back a cart full of gold juice.
Tian Qi looked at the four people who had all returned: "Fan Da, you will take the people of the third and fourth teams down the city tower, and guard the steps of the lower city tower to prevent the enemy from breaking through and absconding into the city, and prepare one hundred and fifty ten-zhang ropes." ”
"Yes, the last general commands!" Fan Da turned around and left.
"Katsuchi, the thousand men you will assemble will continue to defend the tasks of the third or fourth team, ready to deal with the enemy forces attacking the city at any time. ”
"No. Shengqi nodded, turned around and looked at the thousands of people gathered with cold eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come with me." ”
Tian Qi chased after looking at Gao Yanli and the old ghost: "Little Brother Gao, you lead the second team to boil the golden juice." Old ghost, you take one hundred and fifty martial artists who refine and refine qi, take over the task of the second team, hide your body under the battlements of the city wall, and kill the Zhao army who attacked the city wall. ”
"Yes. ”
"Yes. ”
Gao Yuanli and the old ghost left one after another, and the defensive force on the entire city tower changed rapidly under Tian Qi's order.
And Gao Yanli led the second team of 500 people to pour the gold juice into the big ding, and boiled it with gold juice instead of fire oil, the choking smell wafted on the city tower, but the soldiers were indifferent and did not complain, just quietly waiting for the arrival of the big war,
Tian Qi saw that the second team was stepping up to boil the golden juice, and the third and fourth teams were led by Fan Da to guard the staircase, and there was only one team of five hundred people on the entire city tower, still quietly waiting with bows and arrows.
Tian Qi leaned against the city wall, personally observed the situation of the Zhao army outside the city with the help of tiny holes, and looked at the Zhao general Tinghao This time, since he sent about 5,000 people, he also understood that it was his previous paralysis that played a certain role.
However, he saw that there was still a siege vehicle among the 5,000 people, and then looked at the warrior on the side and ordered: "You go and tell General Fan that the Zhao army outside the city has dispatched a siege vehicle and let General Fan send 500 people to resist the city gate." ”
"Yes. The warrior held the sword and quickly ran to the castle tower to report.
Tian Qi's eyes continued to stare at the Zhao army that was slowly approaching outside the city, and when the five thousand Zhao army outside the city was still five hundred steps away from the city, he immediately put a shield that was as black as ink on his head, and defended it around, it was like a turtle shell, but from a distance, it showed a majestic and murderous atmosphere.
Zhao Jun slowly wanted to move the city wall, but Tian Qi knew that the bow and arrow could not hurt the other party, but in his mind, he thought that he must build a catapult.
Although the opponent's defense is very tight, the shield is always spliced together piece by piece, and there are definitely the slightest gaps, as long as there is a catapult throwing oil, then the opponent's defense is tight, and it will be instantly disintegrated.
At present, the catapults that have not really taken shape are all used by manpower to pull the tips attached to the crossbar together in a place far away from the catapult to throw the stones out, which is not accurate enough at all, and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
However, when the Zhao army was only three hundred steps away from the city, Tian Qi turned his head and shouted, "Archers prepare." ”
The five hundred archers of the first team took a step back, quickly drew their bows and took aim at the sky outside the city.
"Three hundred paces outside the city, three shots, launch"
"Xiu Xiu Xiu~" Three rounds of arrows quickly shot out towards the Zhao army outside the city, Tian Qi continued: "A team obeyed the order, and all of them withdrew from the city tower. ”
The people of the first team put away their bows and arrows, and rushed to the entrance of the city staircase in quick and silent steps. But Tian Qi's eyes looked indifferently at Zhao Jun, who was still coming towards the city wall, and continued to order on the seemingly silent city wall: "The second team of people obeyed the order, and they all gave up the rolling stones and used the boiling gold juice. ”
Under Tian Qi's order, some people holding the rolling stone put down the rolling stone one after another, turned around and picked up the long spoon and put it into the big ding, just waiting for an order to be issued, they would not hesitate to splash the boiling gold juice down the city.
The silence on the city tower was the same as the silent march of Zhao Jun outside the city.
This time, Ting Hao sent 5,000 people to attack the city, led by Fang Zheng, a partial general at the peak of the refining and refining god, Fang Zheng observed the city tower from the crack of the shield at this time, but the city tower just couldn't see any figures, but Fang Zheng didn't dare to be careless, knowing that there was definitely no defender hidden behind the battlements of the city wall.
The distance was getting closer and closer, Fang Zhengzhi felt that after three waves of arrow rain in a row, there was no movement in the entire Rao'an City, and when the distance was a hundred steps, he knew that he was about to be attacked by rolling stones.
Immediately, Fang Zheng instructed the five lieutenant generals under his command: "Du Lijin, you immediately lead the thousand people under your command to use siege vehicles to attack the city gate." ”
"Yes, General. ”
Fang Zheng continued with a serious expression: "Hu Liang, Sun Youshui, Lu Yongjia, Quan Hong, the four of you led your respective subordinates to follow me to attack the city using the cloud ladder. ”
"No. The four of them agreed in unison.
"Kill with me!" Fang Zheng shouted loudly.
Tian Qi, who was on the city wall, watched all this, looked at the scattered Zhao army, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Everyone prepare." ”
When he looked at the ladders on the city wall: "Pour the golden juice." ”
The Qi defenders holding the long spoon listened to Tian Qi's order, quickly scooped up the foul-smelling boiling gold juice, and poured it on the cloud ladder that stretched up.
"Ahh ”
The soldiers of Zhao State besieging the city on the cloud ladder felt the hot gold juice pouring over their bodies, and suddenly let out a terrible wail.
But the hundred or so top people who practiced refining qi led by the old ghost were indifferent as usual when they heard the miserable voice, their swords were hung from their waists, and they each held the Changge in their hands, if the enemy attacked the city wall, they would send each other down as soon as possible.
The first to attack the city was the Qianyu troops under the command of Zhao general Hu Liang, after Hu Liang caught the generals who fell from the ladder, but watching the unknown liquid pouring on him, he instinctively covered it with the robe behind him.
But then he smelled a foul smell, and when he looked at the soldier who had splashed him with gold juice, a nameless anger welled up in his heart, and when he saw that there was still water on the robe behind him, he didn't care about anything else, and flew away with his halberd on the ladder.
The defenders behind the battlements of the city tower, who used Changge to return the Zhao army to the lower city, can be described as an invincible existence.
But suddenly, seeing a general wearing battle armor and a battle robe on his shoulders appear in front of them, the guards did not hesitate to stab at each other.
Since Hu Liang could command a thousand people, how could he be compared to other soldiers, and after avoiding several deadly attacks, he gained a firm foothold on the city wall.
The old ghost not far away instantly noticed the situation here, and saw that Hu Liang was in the early stage of the Qi Refining God Realm, and he was an existence that others could not deal with, and he did not hesitate to kill the other party like a ghost.
"Old ghost, knock him out. Tian Qi also watched Hu Liang force the rest of the people back, and the city defense had been torn open by the other party.
However, before Tian Qi came to the rescue, he saw that the old ghost had already killed the other party, and he instantly had a vicious plan brewing in his heart.
The old ghost flashed to Hu Liang's side, not giving Hu Liang any chance to react...
