Chapter 111: Battle of Seoul (2)
Xuan Qi pressed down with both hands, signaling the officers and soldiers of the Navy to pay attention to hiding, and he hooked the fingers of both hands into the stone crack of the water gate, and used the "gecko swimming wall skill" to go up. With the continuous exchange of hands, Xuan Qi had already arrived at the rope at the upper end of the sluice, and pulled out an iron rod that had been prepared from behind his back to firmly fix the rope.
After doing all this, Xuan Qi quickly slipped into the water, took a giant axe from the hand of a naval soldier, slammed it, and slashed on the iron gate, and the group of naval soldiers around him also began to struggle towards the iron gate. The loud noise finally attracted the attention of the Silla soldiers on the city wall, and countless Silla soldiers rushed down, shooting at Xuan Qi and the others like a rain of sharp arrows.
Xuan Qi made three axes in a row, and he had already cut off a thick iron bar, allowing one person to pass sideways. Xuan Qi immediately quickly turned sideways and crossed the iron gate, wielding the giant axe in his hand, trying his best to block the long arrows that were shooting, and buying more time for the soldiers behind him. The constant screams sounded, and the soldiers behind them had already begun to be shot by long arrows, but they still struggled to cut the iron gate regardless of life and death.
As the iron bars were cut one by one, a gap had been made in the huge iron gate, enough for the boat to enter. The sailors stopped moving, and after giving the signal, they all quickly swam through the gap and headed towards the city. Seeing that the door was successfully broken, Xuan Qi continued to row under his feet, and he had quickly passed through the iron gate and jumped towards the shore.
Seeing Xuan Qi coming to the shore, several Silla soldiers hurriedly put down the longbow in their hands, quickly drew their blades, and pounced on Xuan Qi. The Xuanqi people were in the air, but they were dancing with the giant axe in their hands, and there was a clanging sound all of a sudden, and the blades in the hands of the Silla soldiers were touched by the giant axe, and there were countless of them.
The giant axe was extremely heavy, and when it was wielded in Xuan Qi's hand, it was even more invincible. As the sailors behind him climbed ashore, the Silla soldiers were still blocked from the shore for a while, although they were outnumbered. The sound of boats rowing was heard, and the boats rushed into the water gate despite the rain of arrows on the city walls.
As more and more sailors rushed into the water gate, the Silla soldiers on the shore began to be unable to resist and slowly retreated. Xuan Qi danced the giant axe and continued to move forward, and when the axe was slashing towards a Silla soldier, there was a ding, and the giant axe in his hand almost came out of his hand. Xuan Qi looked up, but saw that it was Li Chengye who was holding an iron spear, so he arrived and quickly blocked Xuan Qi's axe.
Just as the so-called enemies were very red when they saw each other, Xuan Qifang took a small dark loss, and at this time he stopped talking, picked up the giant axe, and fell towards the top of Li Chengye's head. When Li Chengye saw the whereabouts of the giant axe, he hurriedly grabbed the iron spear in his hand tightly with both hands and went up to meet him.
Xuan Qi's axe was powerful, but it was just on the barrel of the gun, Li Chengye felt that his hands were a little numb, and he involuntarily took two steps back. This giant axe is more than twice as heavy as the iron spear in Li Chengye's hand, but it allows Xuan Qi to take advantage of some weapons.
Seeing Li Chengye retreating, Xuan Qi quickly followed, and another axe slashed diagonally towards Li Chengye. Li Chengye took two steps back, let go of the giant axe, the spear in his hand trembled, and went straight to Xuan Qi's wrist. Although Xuan Qi's giant axe was heavier, the handle of the axe was much shorter than Li Chengye's iron spear. Seeing that the spear was already in front of him, Xuan Qi quickly withdrew the giant axe, and his body was slightly on one side, the handle of the axe intersected with the barrel of the spear, and immediately swung the spear away.
The sailors continued to pour into the water gate, rushing along the city wall towards the nearest west gate. Whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Celestial Empire or the Silla soldiers, they were all unable to get close to Xuan Qi and Li Chengye, who were fighting, so they had to bypass the two. The two soon passed more than a dozen rounds, and they were evenly matched.
Li Chengye saw that there were more and more officers and soldiers in the water, and knew that the general trend had gone, but he did not retreat, and only thought about taking Xuan Qi's life to avenge his only son Li Yuan. Li Chengye, who had a desperate determination, was faster than another shot, flashing countless spear sparks and stabbing at Xuan Qi.
Xuan Qiwu danced the giant axe in his hand and blocked Li Chengye's attacks again and again. It's just that Li Chengye's attack like a storm still made Xuan Qi a little breathless.
At this time, under the leadership of Chu Lin and others, countless officers and soldiers of the navy had rushed to the vicinity of the West Gate. The dense Silla soldiers crowded the entire street, and the officers and men of the navy had to pay a great price for every step forward. Hearing the shouting and killing in the city, Li Xing, Zhuge Yunzhi, Qian Chaoxian, and Gao Yao outside the city also led their own departments and began to attack Seoul, and the shouting and killing sound shook the sky and resounded throughout the sky of Seoul.
The frantic attack slightly reduced the pressure on the officers and soldiers of the water at the west gate, and more than two dozen Xuanmen disciples lined up, which immediately made the Silla soldiers feel pressure. The spear is like a snake, and every shot is accompanied by the loss of life of a Silla soldier.
Seeing that there was still a stalemate, the officers and soldiers of the navy simply began to divide into two routes, and the other route was led by Ji Ying and his wife, and rushed towards the city wall. The Silla soldiers on the city wall had to resist the attack of the Celestial Empire army outside the city wall on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to turn their heads to deal with the naval officers and soldiers who rushed to the city wall, and the pressure suddenly increased greatly, and a large number of casualties began to appear.
The spear in Luo Wen's hand pierced into the heart of a Silla soldier, and she was already standing at the battlement of the city wall, turning to face the Silla soldiers who rushed up. Behind Luo Wen, a cloud ladder leaned against the city wall, and the officers and soldiers of the Celestial Empire quickly climbed up. As the first Celestial Empire officers and soldiers ascended the city wall, countless Celestial Empire officers and soldiers began to appear on the city wall, and the Silla soldiers could only keep retreating, and soon lost a section of the city wall more than ten zhang long.
Countless officers and soldiers climbed the city wall, but they quickly rushed to the other side of the city wall, and shot sharp arrows like rain at the Silla soldiers at the west gate. In the midst of the screams, countless Silla soldiers fell with arrows, which immediately made the officers and soldiers of the Navy breathe a sigh of relief and speed up their forward speed. The Silla soldiers began to be gradually dispersed, and instead the entire city gate was squeezed into a flood.
The disciples of Xuanmen were in front, but it was not something that the Silla soldiers in the city gate cave could stop, and the corpses were already densely lying in the entire city gate cave. After clearing the Silla soldiers in the cave of the city gate, the west gate slowly opened, and the officers and soldiers of the navy quickly dispersed to make a way. At dawn, the rumbling iron hooves finally rushed in from the west gate, and along the long street, rushed into the crowd of Silla soldiers.
Under the flying of iron hooves, the Silla soldiers began to rout, and the crying father and mother kept retreating. With the opening of the north gate, Li Xing personally led a large army into the city, and the massacre really began.
