Chapter 373: The Trap

Late at night, in front of Zhu'an City, the fire soared into the sky. In Zhu'an City, the flames soared into the sky.

The entire area of Jukan Castle is illuminated by the strong fire as if it were daylight.

The sergeants in the city were not in a hurry to extinguish the fire, because the buildings in the city had already been isolated from the fire barrier under Ding Jiang's arrangement, and the fire would soon extinguish itself and have no tendency to spread.

On the front, in the constant advance of the enemy army, the rockets on the head of the city also kept pouring down.

The enemy sergeant in the front row raises a large shield to block the oncoming arrows, but there is always a lack of defense, and the sergeant who was killed by the rain of arrows appears, and there will be a short gap in the formation, and then it will be quickly filled.

Judging from the enemy's calm and unhurried pace and the speed of the change of formation, this enemy army is definitely not a civilian soldier without fighting, but a sergeant with a certain combat experience, and in the process of advancing, sergeants constantly fall to the ground, but it does not cause a riot in the enemy camp, and the advance is still proceeding steadily.

Ye Guan stood quietly on top of the city, coldly looking at the enemy phalanx that was advancing not far away, his brows furrowed slightly.

Judging from the information of the enemy army he obtained, Shen Tuyan's elite soldiers should not exceed 20,000, and when he arrived in Zhu'an City, whether it was Ding Jiang or Kou Long, the message to himself was that the enemy army was no less than 60,000, and in just three days of siege warfare, thousands of losses were lost, but they did not break their bones.

Ye Guan was not thinking about the current enemy siege at all, but where Shen Tuyan's army came from.

If it is said that the Eastern Wangfu marches into Qiuchang City, Shen Tuyan must have gotten the news a long time ago, even if he can't get the news, as long as he is not a fool, he can guess that it is a matter of time before the Eastern Wangfu enters Qiuchang City, and there can be no large-scale battles in any city in the enclave, but it is absolutely impossible in Qiuchang City. Because when Shen Tuyan confronted the East Palace, he sat down on the matter of anger and resentment, if this matter was not settled, it would violate the code of conduct of the East King Mansion, and the people of other cities in the enclave would not agree.

Therefore, after Shen Tuyan returns to Qiuchang City, he will definitely fight hard and prepare to fight to the death with the Eastern Palace. But no matter what means he used, the number of sergeants he could use was limited, and most of his army were forcibly conscripted civilians, who would not have any fighting power and would not have a reason to fight.

What is the reason why Shen Tuyan has gathered so many soldiers now, and is confronting the Dongwang Mansion head-on......

On the battlefield, the sound of arrows piercing the sky was not heard, under the city, the towers and siege vehicles had already approached, and the enemy archers were shooting upwards from the gaps in their shields, and the soldiers on both sides suffered some casualties to each other, but it was obvious that the losses of the besieging side were much greater.

Repelling the two arrows that shot at him, Ye Guan looked down, and at this moment, he could see the faces of the enemy sergeants through the raging fire on the battlefield. Resolute and persistent faces, a pair of unyielding eyes.

At this moment, Ye Guan suddenly understood something.

All the things before and after suddenly came up in his heart, and this thing simply made him a little crazy.

Before, many strange things happened after entering Zongqiu Mountain, which could not be explained by common sense, causing Ye Guan's thoughts to enter a cycle, and the things related to Zongqiu Mountain were all hidden or supported by mysterious forces.

But now seeing the look of the enemy sergeant below, he immediately understood. This is clearly a trap set by others.

Just arrived at Zongqiu Mountain, entered the mountain by himself, saw the mysterious array, met a mysterious person, and had a bizarre experience, but it had no impact on the entire army, thinking about it carefully, this matter may not have anything to do with Tianqing City or Qiuchang City, the formation of Zongqiu Mountain should always exist there, otherwise there would not be a mysterious person, and he said to himself that he was from the future, so that he did not go underground.

Thinking about the rest of the matter, before arriving at Zhu'an Castle, there was a skirmish, the enemy army of 100 sergeants stationed a proposed wooden wall, and they all retreated without any resistance, I didn't think much about it at the time, but now it seems that the only flaw in this matter may be this inconspicuous battle.

Zhu'an City, which was built to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, the entire city wall seems to be newly repaired, and the city wall has been completely watered, and the copper wall is ironclad. Such a city would never have been able to be taken without heavy casualties. And after he entered Zhu'an City, he suddenly found that Zhu'an City had become a dead city. Putting aside all the weird things, why did the mysterious man choose to open the blind formation after his army was stationed near Zhu'an City, and then slaughtered many people?

Moreover, among the many dead civilians, not too many sergeants were found, which means that before this incident, the defense of Zhuan Castle was far from enough. Combined with the anger that erupted in the eyes of the enemy siege sergeants, all this is not difficult to explain.

The slaughter of Zhu'an City was arranged in advance, the time card was just right, this matter fell on his head Ye Guan, all the people who died in Zhu'an City must have been deliberately spread rumors, they were all slaughtered by the East Wangfu, what weird demon methods were used......

If you say that, the matter will be explained immediately. Why did so many enemy troops suddenly appear and attack the walls of Zhu'an City without their lives, it was because they wanted revenge, and their hatred for Lord Shen Tuyan could not catch up with their hatred for Ye Guan now. In comparison, Shen Tuyan only forcibly let them enlist in the army and go to the battlefield, while Ye Guan really slaughtered the entire Zhu'an City, leaving no one behind.

You know, the five cities of Zongqiu Mountain, are self-contained, rarely communicate with the outside world, there are inextricable links between cities, look at the streets and buildings of Zhu'an City, this city is relatively wealthy, that is to say, the people of other cities, it is likely that many relatives live in Zhu'an City. And Zhu'an City was slaughtered, such a big thing is absolutely impossible to hide, under the guidance of others' intentions, it is easy to become the East Wangfu at this time. Because the methods that Ye Guan saw before that the mysterious person could use were too shocking, even if he said it, no one would really believe it.

"Damn!" Thinking of this, Ye Guan subconsciously scolded, but even if he figured it out now, he had no other way, the battle was already fought, the enemy sergeant advanced with anger, and his own sergeant also fought back. At this point, language can no longer be explained, and this battle can only be fought, not retreated.

"Ready!

At this moment, I heard Ding Jiang shouting loudly on the side, and when I looked up, I saw that the enemy's Tuicheng Tower had already come to the front, and the enemy sergeant on it was holding a blade with a blazing eye, and the next moment, he was about to jump on the wall of Zhu'an City.

Ye Guan was a little gloomy in his heart, but he didn't have any woman's kindness, at this moment he was on the battlefield, no matter what the other party's reason was, whether the whole world was a conspiracy or a coincidence, it didn't matter, at this moment, he could only fight.

"Hmmm. A flash of essence flashed out, and Ye Guan pulled out the sword he was carrying, the long sword in his hand, and let out a low soft sound.

Entering the enclave, this is the first time Ye Guan draws his sword, and after this, it may become the norm.

No one thought about Ye Guan's movements, all the sergeants were fighting bravely, pushing the city tower was advancing step by step, the sergeants at the head of the city were ready to step forward to fight hand-to-hand, and more sergeants on the side were desperately pushing down the arrow feathers and throwing down the wooden rolling stones. On the battlefield, there was a lot of mourning, and the screams came and went.

Ding Jiang didn't have too much command, and all the sergeants had experience in siege warfare, especially at this time, everyone knew what they should do.

"Knock ......"

With a muffled sound, the first Push City Tower touched the city wall, and at this moment, the enemy troops on the Push City Tower jumped down and fell straight on the top of the city, but before they could stand firmly, they were all killed by the swarming East Wangfu soldiers. The enemy sergeants in the back jumped up in a steady stream and fought hand-to-hand with the sergeants above the city.

As the first tower approached the wall, a dull sound was heard from time to time, and several more towers approached the wall, and immediately jumped from the heavily armed enemy sergeants. For a time, on the entire city wall, swords and soldiers were everywhere.

Ye Guan's eyes were cold, holding a long sword, and as soon as his figure moved, he immediately stepped forward and went straight to a city tower. A few steps to the front, his body was agile, without making contact with any enemy sergeant, the long sword danced quickly in the air, and several cyan sword qi immediately broke through the air, and rushed straight towards the Push City Tower.

The tower was broken into several sections with a few crisp sounds, and the enemy sergeants who were passing through the wall on the tower fell from the broken tower in horror, and there was no passage to the tower, and a handful of enemy troops on the city wall were immediately surrounded.

Ye didn't look at it, the figure moved again, and in a very short period of time, all the Push City Towers were destroyed, and then, he stood with his sword in his hand, and he had no intention of striking again.

Without a way to push the towers, all the enemy troops who rushed up to the walls became the target of the crowd, and in a matter of moments, they were all killed.

Under the city, the rushing car has come to the front, violently slamming into the gate of Zhu'an City. However, the city gate of Zhu'an City has obviously undergone special processing, and it is extremely strong, and the ordinary city car can not play a role at all, and it has been hit four or five times, and under the fierce attack of the city head sergeant, more than half of the defense sergeants of the city car have been killed and wounded.

The earth-shattering sound of drums ended, replaced by a crisp metal thump. When the enemy heard this, they immediately retreated in an orderly manner. Ding Jiang commanded all the sergeants to shoot the retreating enemy with all their might.

This siege battle is over in a very small piece.

The enemy again left a field of corpses, did not make any substantial progress, and retreated. Ye Guan stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance, and saw the enemy phalanx in the distance, and there was no intention of moving forward with all the staff.

In this siege, the enemy army only sent a phalanx, and it was only a temptation.

Ye Guan quietly withdrew the long sword, glanced at Ding Jiang, and said softly: "Clean up the battlefield at the head of the city, change the defense, there will be a few attacks in the future, but it will not be stronger than this time." ”

Leaving this sentence, before Ding Jiang could reply, Ye Guan went down the city wall, he was in a very bad mood now, and this feeling of being really calculated rarely appeared in him.

Ding Jiang was a little confused, and looked at Ye Guan, who had left, and didn't say anything. There was nothing surprising about this battle, the enemy army was only attacking normally, and they were using normal equipment, and under the defense of such a strong city wall of Zhu'an City, such an attack was not difficult to defend. In the past few days, the enemy army has attacked the city for the first time from time to time, but this time there is Ye Guan on the top of the city, and the casualties of his own soldiers have been reduced a lot.

Ding Jiang immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, the dead sergeants of the enemy army were thrown off the city, the strategic materials were integrated, and then the sergeants were arranged to change the guard.

Two thousand sergeants defended the back gate of Zhu'an City, which was more than enough when the enemy army did not continue to attack, and Ding Jiang did not even notify the reserves to support in this battle.
