Xuanyuan Quan and Ji Mingcheng each led an army and attacked the military camp outside the city.

Ying Wuji led the children of the Feiyu Guard, crossed the moat, and climbed the wall into the city.

Xuanyuan Qing's main force of 20,000 suppressed the retreating infantry and cut their connection with the city at the same time, so that the battle must be successful.

At the same time, there was also a group of people hiding in the hidden spot closest to the city, and as soon as the city was strongly defended, they rushed into it and pressed down with lightning speed.

In the hours before dawn, the spirits of the people were most tired, and before the people in their sleep could figure out what was going on, a large number of cavalry had already entered the city.

The attack without any warning completely knocked the army of the Demon Cult to the ground, and even some of the armies that were ready to respond did not have any combat effectiveness, and they were killed in a few rounds.

More people ran out onto the street wearing only a pair of pants, and they parted heads in the bewilderment of chickens and dogs.

The Flying Feather Guard tied his horse outside the city, and it took him a quarter of an hour to dive across the moat and climb to the top of the city.

At this time, the Xuanyuan Qing army had also surrounded the retreating infantry, they had no heavy shields, no thick armor, and in front of the heavily armed fast crossbows, they were lambs to be slaughtered.

After Ying Wuji and the others crossed the city, the cavalry had already rushed into the camp. The army of tigers and wolves encounters unarmed soldiers who wake up no less than a one-sided massacre.

In the face of groups of soldiers kneeling and begging for mercy, even hard-hearted people could not keep slashing and killing, so the cavalry that arrived later could only guard the prisoners.

A few points of light flashed in the air, and it was several commanders who saw that the situation was not good and fled. However, Xuanyuan Qing didn't care about this, and he didn't think he had the energy to keep an eye on those people, rather than bothering to take them down, it was better to stabilize the situation in front of him first and ensure the victory in hand.

Scattered people finally began to appear on the streets, and they must have been much slower than the reaction of the army, although this place was a military city, but the people were ordinary people, not all military households.

Endless teams of war horses swarmed into the city, and the galloping sound of 20,000 horses shattered the dreams of the soldiers and civilians in the city, but it was too late.

Xuanyuan Spring and Ji Mingcheng suffered the most serious resistance, after all, few soldiers in the barracks had a tradition of sleeping soundly, and the camp was well arranged and fully armed. Although it was also a hasty response, it was more able to withstand the surprise attack than the rear army in the field and the main force in the city.

Inside and outside the city, the sound of killing shook the sky.

When the inside of the city gradually subsided, the military camp outside the city not only did not decrease, but became more intense.

Xuanyuan Qing had already realized that they were encountering a problem, and immediately ordered the legions hiding in the hidden spot to immediately go to support the attack of the two military camps. Once there is no one breath to take it, and then the whole army will go in the future, it will be a lot of trouble, in case there is another increase in the Demon Sect's troops, it will be a situation where the enemy is on the back of the enemy.

The fighting inside the city has basically stopped, but outside the city it has become more and more intense.

The army entered the city, except for a few people who went to the streets with convulsions without knowing the situation, most of them were frightened and closed their doors, and many defenders took off their armor and abandoned their weapons and hid in civilian houses to save their lives. There were also some Kaesong escapes, one running away on a bunch of horses.

These people, who don't even have the will to resist, are best dealt with.

At dawn, the small city that seems to be of great strategic importance at present has fallen into the hands of Xuanyuan Qing.

The battle in the military camp outside the city continued, and the Righteous Path Legion had already rushed in several times, all of which were squeezed back by the Demon Cult army. In fact, they have lost the best opportunity, if the first breath is not able to break through the defense, the second and third time to go up again, others are already somewhat prepared. Two more times, and it would be nothing more than a standard offensive and defensive battle.

When Xuanyuan Qing and his generals arrived, Xuanyuan Quan and Ji Mingcheng were not in the army, they were under the command of their deputies, and the two of them had already gone to challenge the other party's main general.

"This is not the way to go, order the troops to retreat, prepare the cavalry stone throwers and gunpowder shells and oil, and since the enemy is not willing to give in, then add fire to them. ”

The trebuchet used by the cavalry is one of the characteristics of the legion under the command of Xuanyuan Qing, which is light and flexible, easy for the cavalry to carry, and the combat power is not the same thing, which can play a good role to a certain extent. Although it is not as long as a large trebuchet to throw a distance of 500 zhang, it is still possible to throw 200 zhang.

At this distance, large gunpowder bullets wrapped in balls and covered with nails were thrown, and the power was simply frenzied.

In the deafening explosion, the two military camps were ablaze one after another, and sparks flew in all directions. At the same time, there will be all kinds of stump severed arms flying out.

There was no time for a pillar of incense, the two military camps waved the white flag one after another, and Xuanyuan Spring and Xi Mingcheng returned one after another, with blood stains on their bodies, but looking at that look, they knew that they had also won.

This can be regarded as a perfect revenge for Xuanyuan Qing, since the defeat of the mountain holy antelope, he has always woken up from his dreams, this time there is basically not much loss to take a small city of great significance in the Demon Sect, which can be regarded as regaining some confidence for himself.

From the beginning of the planning and follow-up, to the surprise attack, to the subsequent final battle arrangement, it can be said that every time it reflects the skills applied as a qualified commander.

In the next five days, the next 20,000 infantry troops arrived one after another, bringing a large number of siege equipment and supplies and food, and establishing a supply line from the rear to this area.

Xuanyuan Qing strictly ordered not to disturb the people, treat the generals and troops well, and adopt a policy of calming the people's hearts.

Ji Ming City set up a camp outside the city, built fortifications, and cut off the traffic of the Demon Instructor Road, posing as a large-scale invasion of the southwest.

Further ahead, there are two roads, one is to the south, breaking into Baihua, threatening Jiuli from the flank. In one way, it went north, and the Western Route Army complemented each other and attacked the northeast side of Jiuli. Between this place and the Western Route Army, there are these difficult mountains and mountains, which are not suitable for the army to pass through. Therefore, if the Demon Sect needs to defend, it is strictly a division of troops.

At this point, starting from the raid of the Demon Cult, the casualty number of the Terrans finally began to slow down, and the number of Demon Sects has skyrocketed, and it is almost flat.

With more advanced equipment and tactics, the righteous path has finally eased up, and it is no longer passively beaten.

After some discussion, Xuanyuan Qing finally decided to give up the road to the south, the battle line was too long, and it would be very dangerous if the back road was cut off. It's better to go north and head to Ziyang City in Jiuli.

Ziyang City is on the horizon, the city is high and thick, the rules are strict, it is a strong military fortress, the forest outside the city is leveled, it is not easy to approach without being discovered.

Different from this temporary small military city that is now occupied, and also different from Jiangyang City, Ziyang City is a strategic place that Jiuli has operated for hundreds of years.

Xuanyuan Qing and Ying Wuji observed for a long time, and they both felt discouraged, facing such a turtle shell, they really couldn't think of any good way.
