Chapter 40: Defending the City

"Those bastards actually sent monks out to fight us, how can they fight them?"

At the head of Suizhou City, Gongsun Xiong said to Ye Xuan angrily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before he could wave his army to attack the capital of Yan State, the Yan army came to the door. He thought that the other party was here to deliver food, but he didn't expect that many monks suddenly appeared in the other party's team and beat the Chu army fiercely, and the big Chu army lost its armor and collapsed.

At the critical juncture, if he and Ye Xuan hadn't been able to withdraw the army to Suizhou City after the battalion with a thousand muskets, his army would have been wiped out on the battlefield.

"Don't worry, the sect already knows about this, and the sect will make arrangements. Although Ye Xuan was also anxious in his heart, he still had to behave very calmly and comfort Gongsun Xiong.

After losing the battle, the main general can't be too panicked, otherwise the army's morale will be shaken, and the situation will be out of control.

Now the Chu army has retreated to the city of Suizhou, and the city has been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of counteroffensive Yan troops.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many monks in Yan Guo's army, Gongsun Xiong would not have been afraid of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses at all.

Although those monks were at most in the foundation building realm, their powerful lethality was not comparable to the soldiers of the Chu State at all. Facing them, Gongsun Xiong only felt a burst of powerlessness.

The musket battalion of 1,000 men was now divided into fifty squads and patrolled the city. Now only these small detachments with muskets can have a certain deterrent effect on those monks. Otherwise, it would be a matter of minutes to break the city.

"I hope the sect will send people sooner, those people are too shameless!" Gongsun Xiong said hatefully.

They had been trapped in Suizhou City for more than ten days, and in the past ten days, he had not rested for a day, and he and Ye Xuan patrolled back and forth with the musket battalion on the city.

Ye Xuan is a foundation building monk, and there is no big problem if he does not rest for more than ten days. Although Gongsun Xiong became an innate master with a pill, his physical functions far surpassed those of ordinary martial artists. But after more than ten days of sleeplessness, my spirit was very sluggish, and my will was a little depressed.

As for the fifty musket teams, there is no problem with the plan of taking turns to rest their guns.

In the space of ten days, they repelled dozens of attacks launched by the monks.

Except for the muskets, the mortal armies were no threat to the monks.

"If I had known this, I should have bought more muskets and brought them along. ”

Ye Xuan had some regrets in his heart.

He never thought that Yan Guoren would be so shameless and actually let the monks participate in the battle.

Now in Suizhou City, he is a monk. Gongsun Xiong, who has entered the realm of innate masters, can only be half a monk.

Relying on the two of them with a thousand musket teams, it was really not easy to resist the attack of so many monks in the Yan Kingdom.

If he hadn't changed all his equipment to the best spirit weapon level, he might not even be able to save his life.

Yuxianmen is still reluctant to expel the monks who have cultivated to a high level from the sect, and the highest cultivation is the late stage of foundation building, and it is also the kind of foundation building monk who has no possibility of forming a foundation in this life.

Otherwise, Ye Xuan would not be able to escape his doom even if he had the best spiritual weapon to protect him.

Fortunately, there were many monks who spared their lives, and after learning the lethality of muskets, the attack was not so intensive.

However, the Chu army is still at an absolute disadvantage, and it can't find a chance to turn the tables, so it can only defend with fear every day, not knowing which day it will usher in a catastrophe.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" -

The two were leading a patrol when they suddenly heard a dense sound of muskets coming from a certain end of the city.

"Enemy attack!"

The two of them glanced at each other and quickly ran over there.

"Damn, these grandsons are really endless!" Gongsun Xiong scolded in a low voice with blood-red eyes.

It turned out that in the eastern direction of the city, a team led by a dozen Tsukiji monks launched a sneak attack, and was spotted by the musket team patrolling the castle and opened fire.

The sound of gunfire attracted the nearby musket teams, and when Ye Xuan and Gongsun Xiong arrived, hundreds of muskets from several musket teams were strafing more than a dozen Zhuji monks in the air.

And there were hundreds of troops at the head of the city, shooting at the Yan army mixed with qi cultivators under the city with bows and arrows.

Ye Xuan commanded the flying sword to participate in the battle against the foundation building monks in the air, but Gongsun Xiong did not have that ability, so he could only stand at the head of the city and draw a strong bow to deal with the Yan army besieging the city below.

Gongsun Xiong is now a congenital master, and a strong bow is used in his hand, which is more lethal than a musket.

He couldn't participate in the battle of the foundation monk at all, and his resentment could only be vented on the besiegers under the city.

"Die, you Yan dogs!"

Gongsun Xiong roared angrily, and one sharp arrow after another was fired.

"Smack", a few stones' strong bow broke, and he immediately replaced it with another one.

Since entering the barracks, he has not lost a single battle. This time he was forced to stay in a lonely city, and he didn't sleep for more than ten days, which can be described as an unprecedented shame in his life.

He was very aggrieved.

It's not that he has a poor ability to lead troops to fight, but that he has encountered an army composed of monks, and there is so much difference between them, how can this battle be fought?

He turned his grievances into strength, dissolved them into his bow and arrows, and shot them at his enemies one after another.

There are more than a dozen foundation building monks who came this time, and the number has already put a lot of pressure on Ye Xuan, and the pressure on cultivation is even greater.

If they were all just foundation-building monks like Bray, who had a very poor foundation, Ye Xuan, who was now well-equipped, could overthrow them all.

However, there are more than a dozen foundation-building monks here, and there are also half-stage foundation-building monks at the lowest level, and there are even a few late-stage foundation-building monks in them.

No matter how good the exercises of the Heavenly Machine Sword Sect are, no matter how hard Ye Xuan's foundation is, no matter how well-equipped, it is impossible to beat so many people.

He is not scared of one-on-one, and one-to-two is no problem, but now it is a pair of dozen.

If it weren't for the support of a few musket teams with muskets, he wouldn't have survived at all.

However, each soldier in the musket team was limited in the amount of ammunition they could carry, and when they ran out of bullets, it was time for them to die.

Ye Xuan was not worried about his safety.

He has a talisman robe, and these foundation building monks can't kill him. And once he sacrificed his ultimate spirit weapon-level flying car, no one on the scene could stop him.

But after a few months with the army, he already had a deep relationship with this army, how could he watch them being slaughtered by the enemy?

Although he has been in the army for several months, he has become very hard-hearted.

But being hard-hearted is only outsiders, how can you be your own people?

Just when he felt desperate, there was another "bang" of muskets in another place, and more than two miles away from here, another monk led the Yan army to attack the city.
