Chapter 639: The Battle of the Siege (Part II)

"General Qin, I'm here to avenge your Qin family......" Murong Fei also had the same idea as Zhao Zichuan and his sister, waved his long sword, and then shouted, "Little thief Mengyuan, suffer death quickly!"

Murong Fei roared and went first. The long sword stood spontaneously, the blue light swordsmanship was dotted, turning into a star-like killing array, the wind followed the horse, the feathers flew into the dust, and the thunder rushed and rolled in.

The Thunder Shadow Sword Light held by Murong Fei, as seen by the Meng Yuan cavalry, trembled and made it difficult to advance. The cyan cloak swept through the dust, and the sword light flew, and the blood flew sideways. Murong Fei's swordsman was like a shadow and lightning, and he entered the enemy formation alone, and the Mengyuan cavalry was a weeping wolf.

The cavalry on the right wing of the vanguard army followed Murong Fei in the same way, and the cavalry general took the lead, so why did his subordinates not enter? Murong Fei threw a sword at the enemy, and the army's morale was suddenly greatly boosted, and the vanguard cavalry shouted and killed one after another, drowning out the sound of siege artillery like a mountain and a sea......

On the left and right flanks, under the leadership of Nangong Jun Murong Fei, the vanguard wing army troops were very successful in intercepting the enemy's reinforcements, and won a valuable opportunity for the soldiers besieging the city. Killing a sea of fire under the elevated road, knowing the trend of the army's victory, the morale of the besieging troops was even higher, and they were ready to take the city in one go.

Xiao Tian, who was in command of the siege viaduct, also saw it, and ordered his banner army to signal to the main army, taking advantage of the morale to overwhelm the enemy, and launch an attack signal for troops to enter the city......

"Jing'er, Brother Xiao signaled to climb the ladder to attack the city-" Tang Zhan saw the flag order in front of him, so he turned back to Lu Jing and asked for instructions.

Lu Jing's eyes were certain, and he also said categorically: "Okay, the soldiers are fast, now is a good time to take Yizhou--order the elevated soldiers, take the formation as a unit, climb the ladder and attack the city-"

Tang Zhan nodded, turned around on horseback and galloped to the herald of the banner army. The shouting order: "Order, the cavalry troops and the main force of the enemy's city gate are circling, and the elevated troops have begun to climb the ladder to attack the city!"

The flag order was issued, and the vanguard army launched a new round of assault on Yizhou - Xiao Tian took command and ordered the gunpowder in the middle of the elevated city to stop the attack, and replaced it with an elevated high-rise wooden ladder to connect the city rock. The soldiers carried knives over the city and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy defending the city.

"Knock-knock-" The drums of the vanguard army's attack became louder and louder, and the soldiers on standby to attack the city gathered on the elevated high-rise like a swarm, and the elevated wooden wheels on the ground were infinitely close to the city wall, and then the soldiers on the high-rise unloaded the wooden ladders and planks one after another, and set them on the Yizhou city wall.

After suffering the baptism of artillery fire, the city wall has long been dilapidated, and the Mengyuan soldiers guarding the high wall have suffered many casualties, and now it is the right time to attack the city.

The elevated highway slowly pushed forward, and finally crashed into the rugged wall ash. Wooden frames have been erected on the city walls. The soldiers on the elevated high-rise climbed the tower with swords and shields in hand, and began to fight the enemy to the death.

However, it seems that Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and others are too light on the enemy, although the enemy defending the city suffered heavy artillery fire, many casualties, but the number of defenders is still quite a lot, relying on the strength of the city, the defenders of the Mengyuan high-rise building regrouped. Resist desperately with a sword and shield. There are only ten siege viaducts, and there are naturally only ten siege viaducts. Although the main general Luo Mu is not in the city tower, the high-rise defenders are still in strict order, setting up heavy defenses at each elevated pass, while stubbornly defending the bayonets of the vanguard troops rushing up, and constantly dismantling the wooden ladders or planks connected by the elevated bridge, intending to block the passage of "elevated overturning the city......

"Ahhh............h The armies on both sides were killed and wounded, just at the high entrance of the city tower, an elevated section of the bridge, and the two sides did not give in to each other, and the bayonets were hand-to-hand. Heavy casualties, the corpses of the Mengyuan defenders piled up, and the vanguard soldiers who failed to enter the city were even more bloodstained with the city passes, many soldiers who failed to climb the city tower, the planks under their feet were overturned by the Mengyuan soldiers with knives and shields, and the whole person fell directly from the tall building, falling to pieces...... Over time, the siege became somewhat rigid, and with the gradual increase in the number of corpses, the elevated siege crossing became narrower and narrower, and the difficulty of the attack became more and more difficult......

"No, it's too reluctant to charge with a high-rise building now, it should still be a cavalry charge, and it is safer to storm the city gate under the cover of artillery fire......" The experienced Lao Jiu saw the tragic battle, and couldn't help but say beside Lu Jing.

However, Lu Jing was very determined, and would not give up attacking the city with an elevated road, she stared ahead with both eyes, the short whip in her hand was tightened, and she said nervously without losing confidence: "No, continue to attack the city like this, although there are heavy casualties, but at the moment this string must not be loosened...... Our army's gunpowder is not enough, the siege must be dominated by manpower, Brother Xiao's siege viaduct is to a certain extent, it is far better than the ladder attack, the continuous pressure on the upper floors of the city tower will make the main force of the infantry on the high building of the city wall, and the cavalry under the city will confront each other, and our army will have a better chance of winning. If we hastily abandon the high-level attack at this time, and take advantage of the inconvenience of retreat, the enemy counterattacks and kills, our losses will be even heavier...... Elevated siege, cavalry attack gate, we have to work in two ways - in addition to the Miyagi phalanx of the five unique formations, the main infantry force continues to put pressure on the enemy from the top, and then the formation cavalry Zhao Zichuan They drag the main force of the enemy's cavalry to the death, and it is best to capture the enemy's main general alive again......"

"But the enemy army doesn't seem to have broken down because of the pressure of artillery fire, on the contrary, just now Luo Mu led the main force of the cavalry to kill, although the left and right flanks Nangong Murong General successfully intercepted the enemy's wing reinforcements, but the troops of General Zhao Zichuan in the middle seem to be a little struggling, and the morale of the enemy army has rebounded a little......" Lao Jiu looked at the battle situation in the middle of the road and continued to worry.

Indeed, the two brothers Nangong Jun and Murong Fei fought vigorously on the left and right flanks, but Zhao Zichuan, who occupied the active middle lane at the beginning, seemed to have something wrong at this time - in order to catch Luo Mu earlier, Zhao Zichuan entered the enemy formation alone, but failed to capture the enemy general, but was surrounded by the enemy. Although the main cavalry is all there, the number of Mengyuan cavalry is also quite large, even more than Zhao Zichuan's troops. Although General Li Xian and Li Gong led the troops behind him to come to reinforcements in time, the number of the enemy's Zhongdao cavalry was too large, and it seemed unrealistic to directly take the enemy's main general in a short time......

"Ahh Zhao Zichuan's target was only Luo Mu, but the vast Mengyuan cavalry came like a tide, drowning Zhao Zichuan in it at once, even if Zhao Zichuan was a flying general, it was not realistic to break through from it in a short time.

"General Zhao, we're here to save you—" Li Xian shouted in the rear. Following Li Gong, the vanguard army Zhongdao cavalry hurriedly arrived at this time.

"Ahh

"General Zhao, let's retreat first-" Li Gong looked at the Meng Yuan cavalry formation in front of him. Said loudly.

"What?" Of course, Zhao Zichuan would not stop there, he held his sword and said unwillingly, "I saw that I could catch Luo Mu, but let him escape, and now I retreat like this, how can I Zhao Zichuan be satisfied?"

"However, the enemy formation in front is too deep, and if you rush to kill too forward, once you are ambushed by the enemy, it is very likely that it will be difficult to get out. The commander of the enemy army who catches it doesn't care about this moment—" Li Xian continued to remind.

Zhao Zichuan shook the blood on his arm, and after calming down, he realized that what Li Xian and Li Gong said was reasonable. But in vain, Zhao Zichuan will not be willing to say anything, at least in the face of these Mengyuan riders who are like iron walls, Zhao Zichuan must do something......

"No, General Zhao Zichuan's troops seem to be frozen...... Lao Jiu looked at the predicament of Zhao Zichuan's troops, nervously worried.

Lu Jing kept calm all the time and saw the formation of the middle road cavalry in front of her. Lu Jing stood up with a short whip in her hand, and her eyes suddenly changed: "Order." Ordered General Zhao Zichuan to lead the army back a hundred steps, and the five unique formations of the Miyagi phalanx stepped forward and fought with the enemy's cavalry——"

"Knock-knock-" The sound of war drums changed, and the vanguard army immediately changed formations, and the "Miyagi phalanx" in the rear, which was ready to go, slowly advanced like an ironclad chariot to cover Zhao Zichuan's troops who were about to retreat......

"Military orders came from the troops. Order us to retreat temporarily-" Li Gongwang saw the banner of the rear army and said loudly to Zhao Zichuan.

Zhao Zichuan knew that this was Lu Jing's "change of move", although he was unwilling, but in terms of army engagement, Zhao Zichuan still trusted Lu Jing, who was familiar with the art of war. After swallowing his anger for a while, he said loudly to his cavalry: "The whole army retreats-"

So, Zhao Zichuan and General Li Xian and Li Gong together, led the Middle Road cavalry to retreat back a hundred steps, just in time to stagger with the five unique phalanxes that followed......

In fact, it has always been the main general Luo Mu who prevented the counterattack of the Mengyuan cavalry, and after Luo Mu got rid of Zhao Zichuan's pursuit just now, he did not flee back to the city, but continued to sit in the rear of the cavalry. Just now, Zhao Zichuan was trapped in the Mengyuan cavalry formation, and it was Luo Mu who instigated the troops to do it. Not only that, Luo Mu also observed that the siege elevated above the city tower could not be attacked for a long time, and the wooden ladders and planks were constantly picked off the city tower, so he knew that the vanguard army was not going well in the siege, Luo Mu was sure in his heart, and ordered to recall the cavalry troops reinforced on the left and right, and the whole army concentrated on the middle road - this not only successfully intercepted Zhao Zichuan's surprise attack, but also let Nangong Jun Murong Fei's left and right intercept in vain, and the left and right middle road cavalry converged into one place, which could meet all enemies, and the high-level siege could not be attacked for a long time, and it was even more difficult to break through the direction of the main cavalry of Meng Yuan, and it was even more difficult to attack the city gate head-on......

From this point of view, Luo Mu's ability to command the army is not inferior, once his army has a reversal trend, he can grasp it very well, and even reverse the advantages and disadvantages of the situation......

"It seems that this time it's Miss Lu, you're careless......" Lao Jiu saw Luo Mu's movements clearly, and originally planned a smooth attack, but because of a mistake in the middle rhythm, Luo Mu grabbed it and raised the momentum of counterattack. Not only that, but the whole army of Meng Yuan also sensed it, and the originally frustrated military spirit suddenly recondensed, and the iron armor wall was in front of it, building a steel barrier.

Lu Jing's head also began to sweat, and she didn't expect that without Qin Yu's Yizhou defenders, there would still be such a strong combat effectiveness. However, these were also within Lu Jing's conjecture at first, Lu Jing was not without a move, she put her bet on the "Five Absolute Formations". Lu Jing nervously stood up in person, and shouted loudly: "Miyagi phalanx, open the formation-"

The flag order was issued, and the Miyagi phalanx formed a rectangular formation, slowly heading towards the enemy cavalry troops......

"Stupid-" Lu Jing even called out Tang Zhan in a little anxious.

"Jing'er-" Tang Zhan knew that Lu Jing had made a big move, and flew in front of him on horseback.

Lu Jing's whole body tensed and said: "You lead the troops to support Zhao Zichuan, and wait for the Miyagi phalanx to disrupt the enemy's cavalry formation, you and Zhao Zichuan and Nangong Jun Murong Fei on the left and right flanks, and the three-way cavalry army must jointly besiege it, and you must capture the enemy's main general - and at the same time buy time for the outflanking Sakura sisters and them, so that they can cut off Luo Mu's retreat!"

"I know, leave it to me-" Tang Zhan, as the main general, personally led the troops into battle this time, and he also guaranteed his determination to win.

"The third team, the fifth team, follow me-" Tang Zhan held the pear flower spear, raised it to the sky, and shouted loudly.

"Drink-" The two teams of cavalry immediately followed the order, and the horses accompanied Tang Zhan, galloping towards Zhao Zichuan's troops.

"Sister Su-" Lu Jing was not finished, and summoned Su Jia, who was behind her for reinforcements.

"I'm here—" Su Jia was dressed in battle armor, ready to attack at any moment.

Lu Jing didn't dare to slack off at all, and ordered: "You go and help Brother Xiao, continue to organize the siege soldiers to continue to exert pressure, and you must not break the attack!

"Leave it to me—" Su Jia also replied confidently, "Ride-" Then Su Jia also rode her horse......

This time, Lu Jing saw that Luo Mu was the core of the enemy's entire army, and if he wanted to take Yizhou, he had to capture and kill the main general Luo Mu. The first time he was captured, he thought that Luo Mu had no generals, and Lu Jing also admitted in his heart that he had underestimated the enemy, and with the lesson of 'letting the tiger return to the mountain' this time, Lu Jing made up his mind that he would be more cautious in using troops in the future. And this time, Lu Jing blocked almost all the bets on the whole army to capture Luo Mu, and the key to victory or defeat was in one fell swoop......

"Brother Zichuan, I'm here to help you, Jing'er gave an order, you listen to me......" Tang Zhan's troops hurriedly arrived and made peace with Zhao Zichuan's troops, and Tang Zhan gave Zhao Zichuan an order for the next move......

"Driving-" "Driving-" Lu Zhao, Lu Meng and Murong Ying detoured to the side of the troops, and finally arrived at the edge of the city tower, ready to outflank Luo Mu's back road, but when they came, they found that the cavalry on the left and right wings of Meng Yuan had converged to the center, and the breakthrough was immediately made up by the enemy, and the situation was a little rigid.

Nangong Jun Murong Fei also just received the military order to change, and together with Lu Zhao's troops who rushed over, he prepared to join the "Miyagi Phalanx" with the left middle three roads to rush the Luo Mu Zhongdao cavalry with the momentum of encirclement......

"Ah Tian—" On Xiao Tian's side, Su Jia had already hurried over on horseback, ready to tell Xiao Tian what to do next.

"Jia'er-" Xiao Tian looked back and said. With Su Jia's support, the two prepared to work together to command the siege viaduct and continue to attack and oppress the enemy's high-rise buildings......

The three-party general attack plan is ready, and the first place is the head-to-head confrontation between the "Five Absolute Formations" Miyagi Phalanx and the Mengyuan cavalry......

Looking at the phalanx approaching like a huge iron armor, Luo Mu was not afraid, and was still nervously commanding the cavalry army that was almost the main force of the whole city.

"The first team, with a scattered formation-" The first phalanx had arrived, and Luo Mu had to draw out a pair of cavalry to test it first.

The "Miyagi phalanx" marched in a rectangular formation, and the Mengyuan cavalry was only able to infiltrate the formation to attack. Sure enough, in the aisle between the gaps in the phalanx, Meng Yuan's iron cavalry was staggered, and the Miao knife was swung high, screaming a few times, and he took the lives of some soldiers of the vanguard army at the phalanx first.

However, here in the Miyagi phalanx, the entire army of the vanguard army did not panic. "Open the formation-" A general in the formation shouted, and hundreds of spears suddenly appeared between the gaps in the rectangular formation, like thorns interspersed...... "Huh-" "Huh-Hu......h" Soon, the horses in the Mengyuan cavalry formation screamed one after another, and a group of war horses fell to the ground one after another, not to mention the cavalry soldiers, who fell to the ground and fell on the sharp blades of their spears, either falling to death or being injured; those who survived had to carry their swords to meet the battle with land soldiers.

"Hu Yidi, the number one master outside the gate, is here-" The shield array was opened, and the general who shouted just now was Hu Yidi. Hu Yidi was wearing dozens of golden knives, holding an eight-zhang long knife, and jumped down with a vertical split.

Before the Mengyuan soldiers who landed on the ground could react, the long knife slashed vertically, together with the cold blades of the staggered arrays, and beheaded the lone Mengyuan soldier into a corpse...... (To be continued.) )
