Chapter 372: Advance

Feeling a strong wind coming towards the door in front of him, Ye Guan's face was inconvenient, and his fighting spirit surged out, and he directly knocked the cold arrow away, and looked at it, but saw that the city was in a mess. The dilapidated siege equipment, the corpses of the enemy soldiers killed, the charred ground, and the scattered smoke filled the entire city, and as soon as he poked his head out, a strong smell of blood came to his face, much stronger than the smell on the city wall.

"Whoosh. ”

There was another sound of breaking the sky, Ye Guan tilted his head slightly, and grabbed the cold arrow with one hand. With his stretch of hand and cultivation, the arrow feathers of this speed were very slow in front of him, and it was impossible to hurt him at all. This time he saw it clearly, this cold arrow was shot from the wreckage of a destroyed Tui Cheng Tower not far away, not with a bow and arrow, but with a strong crossbow, otherwise it would not have hit the city at this distance and still hurt people.

Carefully checked, found that about half a mile under the city wall, there were enemy soldiers who did not know how to release cold arrows, but the overall number was not much, if the archers were arranged to stare at a few people, and then release the bait, they could kill these people in the first time, but I don't know why Ding Jiang did not arrange it like this.

"Knock knock. Knock knock. ”

In the distance, the sound of drums was heard, and when I looked up, I saw a crowd of people not far away, and I couldn't see it very really, but the sound of the sound had proved that the enemy's attack had begun.

Ye Guan was expressionless, took a step back, and asked Ding Jiang beside him: "Why didn't you solve these cold arrows?" When the siege battle begins, don't you let them shoot our soldiers?"

"That's what I arranged before. Ding Jiang replied in a low voice: "But this is a trap they shot, and the few people who appeared to release the arrows were just bait, if I arranged for someone to hunt them, other hidden people would appear and shoot our archers." So, until I found out where they were, I told the sergeants not to peek out. ”

"The enemy is pressing. Ye Guan said: "The battle will start immediately, this matter must be solved now, you arrange to garrison!" After speaking, before Ding Jiang could react, Ye Guan's figure had already turned into a long rainbow, jumped straight down the city, and landed directly on the battlefield in front of the city.

As soon as he landed, the strong blood penetrated into his nose, which shook his whole spirit, such a smell he was familiar with, but he had not smelled it for a long time. With the help of the gray moonlight, Ye Guan's figure moved quickly, past the enemy corpses piled up on the ground and the broken storming vehicles and other engineering equipment, and went straight to the direction of the enemy crossbowmen he had just discovered.

Blessed by the wind and fighting spirit, his speed was extremely fast, and he had arrived in the blink of an eye, and after coming to a city pushing tower, the enemy sergeant who had released his bow and crossbow just now was still carefully observing the movement at the head of the city through the gap, and he didn't notice that someone was behind him. At his side, there were also three crossbowmen, who lay motionless on the ground, their crossbow arrows tightly clutched, the strings of which were tense and ready to be activated.

As soon as the figure moved, the wind fighting qi swept forward with his body, Ye Guan made four attacks at a very fast speed, and then the figure flashed, and the whole person rushed down to the wreckage.

The four enemy soldiers hiding behind the wreckage of the cart didn't know what was going on at all, they only felt a shock to their bodies, and suddenly felt that their chests were a little empty, and then subconsciously lowered their heads, but found that a huge blood hole appeared in their chests, and blood was gushing out, and in the next moment, the pain and intense darkness surged at the same time, and before they could scream, they had already died.

Ye Guan launched four attacks in an instant, directly killing the four enemy soldiers, the speed was extremely fast and left no trace, and several enemy soldiers didn't even know how they died, so they died.

Using the same method, Ye Guan used his body to kill more than a dozen enemy soldiers again, until he could no longer be found in an obvious position, and then he gave up. The whole thing took a very short time, and by the time Ding Jiang found Ye Guan's figure, he had already killed all the enemy soldiers who released the dark arrow.

At this moment, in the distance, you can already see a pair of neatly arranged enemy troops approaching, under the moonlight, dense, like the scales of water on the surface of the river, neatly stepping on the ground, emitting bursts of "stamping" sounds. The beating of the war drums was louder, like thunder. The enemy's phalanx saw that the road was advancing, and Ye Guan had no intention of coming back, Ding Jiang's face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and a team of sergeants went out of the city to welcome General Ye back.

As soon as he gave the order, he saw Ye Guan's figure move slightly, and the whole person turned into a streamer, jumped a few times on the city wall, and then stood firmly on the city wall. This move made Ding Jiang and the soldiers at the head of the city stunned. You must know that the city wall of Zhu'an City is very high, about a dozen zhang, ordinary people don't say jump up, it is very difficult to climb up for you with a ladder, and looking at Ye Guan's appearance, he actually has no trouble getting on this city wall, and a few jumps have been completed, and his face is not red and his heart is not beating, and his expression is still indifferent.

In the past few days when his body has recovered, Ye Guan has been feeling that his strength is rising, he has not deliberately cultivated, but the fighting energy in his body has been condensing and fused, he vaguely feels that he is going to break through the shackles of a martial artist and enter the martial artist level, this feeling is very mysterious. If a few days ago, he would not have even considered jumping off such a high wall, let alone coming up. And now, it's so easy to do it all, it's like a leisurely stroll.

He didn't know why, he just thought he could do it, so he did it. Of course, he didn't do it for the sake of prestige, but for some purpose.

First of all, after a short period of understanding, Ye Guan knew that although the morale of the soldiers of Dongwangfu seemed to be good now, after a few days of battle, they had been pressed by the enemy army in the city, and this city was still a dead city, desperately defending, many sergeants may have other ideas in their hearts, and in the long run, they will have a lifetime of misfortune and directly affect the morale of the sergeants. To solve this matter, we must find a way to improve the morale of all the soldiers, and easily killing the enemy's hidden crossbowmen is the beginning of this matter, so that the soldiers know that Ye Guan is back, and the battle situation will change.

Secondly, this is also the most direct intention, a bunch of crossbowmen are hidden in the shadows, if the enemy starts to attack, they have been planning for a long time to release the dark arrows, which will inevitably cause a large number of casualties to their own soldiers on the city, this is completely avoidable, Ye Guan does not mind doing it.

It is true that Ding Jiang is a good general, experienced in a hundred battles, and has a lot of experience, but in the case of a huge disparity between the forces of the enemy and us, he can only trap the city and minimize his own casualties. It can be seen from his strategy against the enemy's crossbowmen just now that Ding Jiang is very cautious about this battle, which is nothing, but in the long run, it will definitely affect morale. The tiger and wolf division of the dignified East Wangfu made a few crossbowmen press on the head of the city and couldn't get up, what is it.

Ye Guan stood in front of Ding Jiang, Ding Jiang saw that his expression and demeanor had changed, and the excitement in his heart leaked out undisguisedly, Ding Jiang was like this, not to mention the sergeant on the city wall. Ye Guan can change the tide of the battle, this is not an empty word.

"The enemy is coming soon, set up. Ye Guan Chong Ding Jiang smiled slightly, there is no need to say anything at this time, everything is silent.

Ding Jiang immediately nodded and ordered all the staff to be on alert and prepare for the enemy army to attack the city.

There were two brigades of sergeants stationed on the city wall, and the two thousand defenders on the city wall were not too crowded. At this moment, every sergeant is gearing up, ready to fight the enemy army.

"Hoo ......"

A few fires streaked through the sky, heading straight for the interior of Zhu'an City, and with a few violent explosions, the fires in the city rose into the sky. With the flash of firelight, Ye Guan clearly saw the enemy's phalanx, densely packed, the front row had reached about a mile in front of the city wall, and all kinds of siege equipment in the phalanx were complete, and it seemed that it was going to be a tough battle.

"This time they may have prepared a small trebuchet to attack the city wall, are the mobile teams ready?" Ye Guan glanced at the enemy phalanx that was approaching in the moonlight, the moonlight was hazy today, and the visual distance was not far, so he could see a little blurry, but with experience, Ye Guan could still guess a thing or two. The enemy's attack this time was different from the previous times he knew, and it seemed that he was about to launch a general attack.

"It's ready, a brigade is split into two teams, and it's ready to be on the side of the city. Ding Jiang said: "If they use trebuchets to attack the city wall, I will immediately give an order, and the cavalry lying in ambush on both sides will immediately kill and destroy the equipment." ”

Ye Guan nodded lightly when he heard this, and stopped talking.

He is the commander of this army, but now Ding Jiang is in charge of the battle command, Ye Guan doesn't say much, just standing on the city wall, if the enemy army has any abnormal movement, he will also find out at the first time.

As the sound of the earth-shattering drums drew closer, it was not long before the enemy advanced half a mile of the city wall, and then forward, it was within the range of the archers. At this distance, the enemy stopped the phalanx, the front row of enemy soldiers raised their big shields, hiding their whole bodies behind, in the phalanx, slowly pushed over a few siege equipment, and the huge city carts and towers were pushed to the front row.

"Rocket preparation. Seeing this, Ding Jiang immediately ordered that the crossbowmen above the city head were wound up and ready to release the rockets at any time.

The sound of drums in the enemy phalanx stopped, and all the enemy troops stopped moving, and for a while, the entire city wall behind Zhu'an City was silent. In the dark of the night, only the faint sound of the sergeant panting could be heard, and the spirit of the sergeant on both sides was tense, and the battle was about to break out.

"Hoo ......"

A few more fires cut through the sky, straight to Zhu'an City, and at this moment, the first phalanx in the front row of the enemy moved, the earth-shattering sound of drums came again, the enemy in the front row raised a big shield, and the siege equipment was then pushed, slowly advancing in the direction of the gate of Zhu'an City.

"Shoot!"

After entering the range of the archers, Ding Jiang did not hesitate to give the order to attack, and thousands of swords were fired in unison, and thousands of rockets slashed across the sky, igniting the air in front of the city.
