Chapter 442: Soldiers Descend on the City
The palace of Hojing was full of people, and the ministers were as anxious as ants on a frying pot, and they flocked to the court of the Son of Heaven to discuss matters.
Ji Gong ordered people to light a beacon fire and asked the princes of the world to come to support.
Black wolf smoke drifted to the sky, seeing the signal of foreign invasion, and the people of the pickaxe capital were immersed in an atmosphere of panic.
A hundred miles away, the sentinels who first discovered the enemy's situation lit the beacon fire, and then the sentries near the pass saw the wolf smoke and lit the beacon fire one after another. The news of Hokyo's emergency quickly spread throughout the land of Kyushu. It stands to reason that the vassal states should quickly send troops to rescue the driver when they see the wolf smoke, but even the nearest vassal state has not moved.
Most of the princes did not rush to King Qin, and they did not move one by one. Some knew that the soldiers were coming in a big way, but they did not save them when they saw death; some thought that Zhou Tianzi was a pastime and randomly lit beacon fires for fun; and some did not know that Hojing had an accident, but they did not care about it, and most of them turned a blind eye to what happened.
A small number of princes were willing to send reinforcements, but it would take some time to get to Hojing. Feeling that there was no hope for reinforcements to arrive before the city was broken, Ji Gongyan ordered people to count the soldiers and horses, and found that there were only 20,000 remnants of the defeated generals left, and more than 200 battle-damaged dragon chariots.
Just when Ji Gongyan was anxious, the Son of Heaven walked into six people outside the court, namely Ayinago, Xie Ding, Ye Tuoni, Rahu, Su Bo Lou, and Zhilu Zhenren among the ten leaders in the West.
Xie Ding took a step forward and said, "We are on the orders of the family teacher to help Zhou Tianzi crusade against the rebels. ”
"You guys are just in time!"
Ji Gongyan was overjoyed, and suddenly heard an urgent report from the herald: "Tell me before the battle, the rebels have attacked the city with lightning power!"
Li Hongxi was ordered to go to check, only to see that the outside of the city was surrounded by the black Rong Corps.
A stone's throw away from the moat, Jiang Ling looked up at the pickaxe capital gate that he had once held, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he said gloomily: "Let me personally break open this city gate." ”
Ji Chengshi hurriedly said: "The alliance leader must not be in danger, the siege of the city is not trivial, and the city is unpredictable. The Moon Yao Cave Lord, the Fire Yao Cave Lord, the Golden Yao Cave Lord, and the Sun Yao Cave Lord, the four cave masters stayed by Jiang Ling's side to escort them. ”
Presumably, there must be Western masters in the capital city to help, and Master Ji Cheng selected eight monks at the elder level of Xuanzong to go to meet the master monks under the command of Zhou Chamber.
Eight Xuanzong monks received their orders one after another.
Ji Chengshi glanced at the generals of the surrounding group of soldiers who were eyeing the soldiers, suddenly pointed to the city gate, and asked in a loud voice: "Ahead is the Longtan Tiger's Den, which one has the courage to take the lead?"
The generals of the Zhou coalition army were eager to try, and they all wanted to take the lead in breaking through the city gate and get the first prize for this battle. The generals of the Rong army scrambled to ask for their lives.
"The last will go!"
A deafening sound suddenly overshadowed everyone.
Everyone turned their heads to look at each other, only to see eight soldiers with tigers on their backs carrying two heavy tiger head hammers under the war horses of Yiqu.
The moment Yiqu lifted the double hammer, the muscles on his back trembled slightly, exuding an awe-inspiring murderous aura. The rest of the Rong generals glanced at each other, only to feel ashamed of themselves, and they stopped talking.
Seeing that the soldiers had no objections, Ji Chengshi nodded and ordered: "Only success is allowed, not failure." ”
At dawn, the dawn illuminates the faces eager for blood and killing, the bloodshot eyes of the exhausted from the overnight fighting, and the eyes are full of hatred, we must take this city, we must avenge the dead children, and we must make Zhou Tianzi, who exterminated humanity, pay the price.
Yiqu lifted the tiger's head hammer and pointed forward, letting out an earth-shattering battle cry, instantly scaring a timid defender of the city to death.
Upstairs in the capital of the pickaxe, Ayinago, Xie Ding, Yetuoni, Rahu, Su Bo Lou, Zhilu Zhenren, the six Western leaders set up a formation, and it seems that they have been waiting for a long time.
Li Hongxi stood on the city with a halberd in his hand, slowly raised his head, and saw the eight monks rushing to the sky with the imperial objects in the air.
The eight Xuanzong monks that Ji Chengshi just selected were Hua Ruwolf, Niu Zhu, Li Rumei, Bai Pao, Huangmei Daoren, Ye Mozi, Yun Yi, and Jingyang. Although Xuanzong has eight enemies and six enemies, if you talk about strength, it is not known who will kill the deer. Jiang Ling's chest is successful, after all, the four cave masters around him will go to help at any time according to the situation.
The monks of the two camps stood in the air, and neither of them took the lead.
Although the city was full of crises and the sound of killing under the city was shocking, Li Hongxi, who was guarding the city, was still calm and calm, and waved his hand gently. The archers on the tower of the city heard the wind and moved, drew arrows and bows, and prepared to attack.
"Put!"
At the sound of an order, arrows rained down from the sky. After a few rains of arrows, hundreds of corpses of soldiers were added to the city.
Yiqu saw that Li Hongxi was trying his best to defend the city, lest his morale be low, so he ordered several warriors to risk death to set up a ladder and climb the city wall alone.
Seeing that Yiqu was in danger alone as the main general, Li Hongxi was quite worried in his heart, raised his hand slightly, and twenty archers took bows and shot at Yiqu in unison. Yiqu clamped the ladder with both feet, swung his hammer to resist the arrows that shot at the vital point, and the missed arrows were shot on his bare tiger's back, and they were miraculously bounced off!
Li Hongxi must be really good, and the method of Yiqu's cultivation can make him invulnerable.
Yiqu continued to climb up, and when he was about to climb the tower, a bright iron halberd slashed head-on. Yiqu hurriedly dodged sideways, half an inch of skin on his ears was peeled off, and blood flowed down his ears to his chin.
Click!
The ladder on which Yiqu was standing was broken, and Yiqu stepped on the broken ladder, picked up the hammer upward, jumped with the inertia of the hammer, and jumped onto the tower.
Li Hongxi put away the halberd, the tail of the halberd fell heavily, and several cracks were poked out of the brick floor.
Yiqu also realized that Li Hongxi's pure yang energy was very strong, and if he was hit by the blow just now, his ears would be cut off, and even his head would be split in half.
"Li Hongxi, even if you have the ability to sweep away thousands of armies, you have to watch those mortals break the city today!"
"There is no need to harm the pond fish, it is not too late to kill you first!"
"I'll kill you first, and then I'll take the lives of those ants!" Yiqu raised the double hammer and roared angrily at Li Hongxi.
When the soldiers under the city heard the roar of Yiqu, they were also infected by his brave momentum, and launched an increasingly fierce attack when the two main generals faced each other in the city. Ladders were erected one after another in various parts of the pickaxe city wall, and the soldiers rushed like a tide.
Just when the righteous canal was about to break through, a green-shirted woman suddenly appeared in front of her, sitting quietly on the city tower. The wind blows through her hair, silently watching the soldiers fighting around her, her sudden presence seems less real.
Yiqu suddenly slowed down, as if remembering something, stopped fighting hard, and slowly walked towards her. With a loud "boom", the two heavy tiger heads he held tightly in his hands fell to the ground.
At this time, the archers in the city ran out of arrows, and one by one the soldiers who were killed in the city were cut down. The Zhou soldiers defending the city knocked off the stone bricks on their tramples and smashed them into the city.
Li Hongxi did not have a righteous canal to block the way, and took the opportunity to personally lead dozens of soldiers to the inside of the city gate.
Tom!
Hearing the loud bangs of the city gate one after another, Li Hongxi knew that it was the sound of the Rong soldiers hitting the city gate with a giant log, and the current breaking of the gate was a foregone conclusion, once the city gate collapsed, those soldiers who topped the gate would be stoned to death under the city gate, and the morale of the army would inevitably be discouraged at that moment. In order to reduce casualties, Li Hongxi ordered the soldiers to retreat slowly, and at the same time set up a shield formation in the rear, preparing to resist the attack with a formation.
The gate of the pickaxe capital city was devastated and began to loosen gradually, and with a loud bang, a huge log broke in. The soldiers who rushed into the city were not hindered in any way, and a stronger wall made of shields appeared in front of them, and before they could come to their senses, spears flew out of the gaps in the shields on both sides, stabbing the soldiers who swarmed in.
"Open!"
Li Hongxi gave an order, and the shield array turned into a killing array.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of cavalry with shields rushed out of the city gate, and after a fight, the Rong soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the pickaxe capital gate was closed.
Jiang Ling's face was solemn, he saw Li Hongxi leading the troops to fight, but he didn't see Yiqu's figure, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition, and said anxiously:
"Third child, why don't you come to help?"
Taiyin looked ahead and said, "I don't see Jialan and Acheliputta among the top ten leaders in the West, as well as the Western Sixth Army led by Yang Wei. Ji Shi's nephew is afraid that he will be entangled by them temporarily. We can only ask for more blessings before he escapes. ”
