Chapter 56: Enlightenment
It didn't take long for the barbarians to begin to attack the city, and in the face of the rain of arrows, ladders made of special wood were erected on the city walls, and the barbarians began to climb up quickly along the ladders, and of course, the barbarians threw javelins to cover them.
In the face of such a tall city wall, it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to be fired upwards, so they can only be thrown with javelins.
On the contrary, the bow and arrow of the defending side of the city, as long as they are shot, under the bonus of terrain, the threat is very great.
When the barbarians broke through the rain of arrows and climbed the ladder, the first thing to greet them was that the ladder was destroyed and knocked down, and even if the ladder was fine, there were boulders, sandalwood, and even hot water and hot oil to meet them.
If it was in ordinary ancient times, with such a tall city wall, there were enough manpower and resources, unless there were other circumstances, otherwise I would not want to capture this Xiongguan.
But this is a martial arts world, when ordinary soldiers can't open the situation, the masters in the army naturally push to the front line.
A barbarian with a spear in his hand, saw the opportunity, performed light skills, and quickly broke into the city wall guarded by Li Mubai and others, and swept with a spear, and several soldiers who did not react were suddenly pulled away, and the barbarian's eyes flashed with a strong bloodthirsty color, and he turned his gaze to the others around him.
But before he could make a big move, he was stabbed through by four or five swords that followed, and his body fell off the wall.
Soon someone filled the place, the wounded were carried down for treatment, and these sect disciples were also quickly adapting to the war, receiving the baptism of blood and fire.
And the barbarians, just like the squad leader said, are not afraid of death and are endless, dying one after another, but they don't see them retreating, as if they will not give up under the unfairness of this majestic pass.
As the number of barbarian masters increased, and the number of people attacking the city wall also increased, and battles broke out on the city wall from time to time, and the defender of the city must kill or get the enemy down as quickly as possible, otherwise there will be more and more enemies following him.
The sky gradually darkened, and after paying the price of more than 10,000 people, the barbarians finally stopped the siege and retreated.
And the defenders of the city were not having a good time, and under the frantic offensive of the barbarians, they also suffered two or three thousand casualties.
But this is already very good, generally speaking, in ancient times, such a battle to defend the city was generally about a one-to-three injury ratio, and in this martial arts world, it was almost one-to-five, which was already a rare victory.
But this can't hide the fact that many people have lost their lives, and if it weren't for the sect's disciples to deal with those surprise masters this time, the damage would definitely be even more.
On the side of the Cangyue Sword Sect, the disciples were all tired and sad, wars have always been cruel, and a few disciples couldn't be rescued, fortunately, they were worthy of being from the Gate Sect, and their martial arts were not weak, but they were seriously injured, but fortunately, their lives were saved. And many soldiers who fought together, because of their average martial arts, often died before they could not hold out to the rescue.
It was the first time for most of the disciples to encounter such a scene, looking at the people who had fought side by side one moment, and the next moment they had already returned to Huangquan, which made these young people sad.
But these are just very common things, in this Jianghu, for the sake of fame and fortune, there has never been a shortage of people who have made waves, and there is no shortage of people who have killed countless people.
There was even one day when these disciples themselves went to fight with others for fame and fortune, either you died or I died.
In this river and lake, at the feet of every successful person, there are a large number of people who also chase fame and fortune, and use their bones to forge their own supreme prestige.
The team leader said, "Let's all go and rest! ”
The team leader was covered in blood at the moment, his face was full of exhaustion, his voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear any fluctuations, maybe because he had experienced too much, and it didn't seem to have the slightest effect. It's just that judging from the fact that he occasionally calls the wrong name, he may not be at peace at this moment.
"Let's go, let's go back. Li Mubai's voice was a little low.
He didn't know these people, and there were not a few people he had killed, and his heart should have been calm, but he was not so cold-blooded after all, and he was inevitably infected by the atmosphere of grief.
"Yes. ”
The sound of the sparse response sounded, making Li Mubai frown, and then relaxed, this is a problem they are bound to face, only if they figure it out, can they continue to walk in this cruel river and lake, otherwise it is better to find a peaceful place and live some peaceful and joyful days.
This is the consciousness that everyone who fights in the rivers and lakes must have, the bloody wind and blood are not a lie at all, the background and friends can only help you for a while, only your own strength is the king.
Back in the house where the Cangyue Sword Sect was located, Wan Jiankong was waiting in the hall, and he was not surprised at all to see the many disciples who were depressed, this is the normal situation, if he can come back happily for the first time, he is either strong in heart or cold in temperament, no matter which one is not common, those who are well-known are just because of "typical".
"You know why you came out to practice this time, right?" Wan Jiankong changed his usual indifference, although he still had no expression.
All the disciples looked at this senior brother and only listened to him continue: "Only by seeing the cruelty of this world can you work hard, and you will not be complacent because of your small achievements in the sect on weekdays, nor will you be blinded by other people's sycophants.
As a disciple of the Cangyue Sword Sect, your starting point is certainly higher than many people, but it is only the starting point. If you don't work hard, you will be as powerless as you are today, just imagine, if you are a master of the Dharma Body Realm, those barbarians will not be wiped out by you with a wave of your hand?
You are all favored by the sect, and you are under the sect, which means that you are at least talented, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will naturally achieve some achievements, as for whether you can become a big master in the limelight, it depends on your own consciousness, creation, and opportunity.
Opportunities are for those who are prepared, even if it is an earth-shattering adventure, you must deserve it, otherwise it is just a sin of conceiving a pen, but a way to die. ”
Wan Jiankong's words made Li Mubai impressed, and he usually didn't speak coldly, which didn't mean that he didn't understand or speak, but he could only say that he was worthy of being regarded as a candidate for the cultivation of the next generation of sect masters.
And some of those Cangyue Sword Sect disciples were surprised by Wan Jiankong's words, and some were secretly thinking, and so on.
But no matter what they thought now, after Wan Jiankong threw down a sentence, "Uncle Shi has sent a message, tomorrow will be out of the city to fight, the specific arrangements will be known tomorrow, you have a good rest tonight", no one continued to dwell on the previous matter.
