Chapter 529: The Bear

There was a sound of bowstrings, and feathered arrows rained down from the walls!

There was a deep pit under their feet, and there were arrows on their heads, and the sailors and soldiers could not help but be in a great confusion, screaming and wailing continuously, and twenty or thirty people were lost in an instant. These officers and soldiers of the imperial court looked very neat on the outside, but they were all shrunk in the camp of the sailor on weekdays, and they had been absent from the battle formation for a long time, and they had just encountered the enemy's attack, and they immediately showed their original faces.

Cao Duyun, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.

Calming Huo Jincheng shouted loudly, pulled out the waist knife in his hand, and rushed forward with hissing and shouting, whoever dared to retreat was immediately killed, and the soldiers in front finally did not retreat.

In fact, the traps dug in the gravel ground were limited after all, as long as they were trampled on, the soldiers behind could know to avoid them, and the arrows shot from the city walls were not too many, and they were thinned out after only a while, probably because of the limited number of pirates defending the city.

After more than a dozen dead and wounded, the officers and soldiers finally rushed to the front of the city wall with their shields on their heads, and began to attack the city with their ladders.

This siege battle was really bad, the sailors and soldiers were not good at attacking the city, and the improvised ladder was also very narrow, and the officers and soldiers climbed very hard, and it was easy to barely climb to the battlement, and they were also cut down by the pirates in the city, and it was difficult to climb the wall.

However, it seems that there are not many guards on the city wall, and there are no too strong means except for some bows and crossbows, which cannot bring much damage to the officers and soldiers besieging the city.

The battle lasted for a pillar of incense, and Cao Duyun's face became more and more ugly, and finally slapped the hilt of the sword and shouted: "Mingjin retreats!"

Hearing the sound of the gong, a group of besieging officers and soldiers hurriedly turned around and ran, and were shot down from behind by the pirates' arrows and crossbows, and finally retreated.

The 500 officers and soldiers who rushed forward to attack the city fell into the pit, were wounded by feather arrows, slashed by pirates, and were not afraid of falling down and being injured when climbing the ladder, a total of 80 or 90 soldiers were lost, and now only about 400 people have retreated, but they are all crooked and slanted, and they are very embarrassed.

That Huo Jincheng knelt in front of Cao Duyun, kowtowed, and said: "The last general is not good to attack the city, and the crime deserves death, please punish Cao Gongzi!"

Cao Duyun said with a gloomy face: "Huo Jincheng, as the general of the Liupin Zhenfu, are these the elite soldiers under your command?"

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was corrupt, and the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers was low, which was similar in all states and prefectures, and Cao Duyun was not unaware that this siege was only for testing, and he would not have taken it to heart after losing one hundred and ten soldiers. It's just that Cao Duyun is angry that this siege wasted time, and it didn't achieve a little tentative effect at all, none of the five hundred elite soldiers attacked the city, even if the city wall really ambushed the "Black Dragon Palace" brigade, it was impossible to attract it.

In the face of Cao Duyun's reprimand, Huo Jincheng was full of panic, and he only cared about kneeling and kowtowing, where did he dare to answer half a sentence.

Xiong Bailing took a step forward and said, "Leave the siege of the city to the old man and the Great Rebellion!

Cao Duyun's face paleated slightly, and said: "Then there is Mr. Lao Xiong! If you encounter an ambush when attacking the city, please don't retreat quickly, and we will make another plan." ”

Xiong Bailing said: "Don't worry, Gongzi Cao, the old man has his own measure!" He turned his face to Sima Rulan and said, "Niece Lan'er, wait a minute, Uncle Xiong will help you take Black Dragon City!"

Previously, Xiong Bailing had led the crowd to defect to the "Black Dragon Palace" and committed the great crime of betraying the sect, although Sima Rulan didn't care, and wanted him to be reinstated as the deputy hall master of the "Wanjin Hall", but Xiong Bailing felt extremely guilty in his heart and refused to die. This time to attack Black Dragon Island, Xiong Bailing had already made up his mind to fight bravely to kill the enemy, in order to wash away the shame of the snow, and also to repay Sima Rulan's trust in him.

Sima Rulan took Xiong Bailing's hand and said, "Uncle Xiong, be careful!"

Previously, the officers and soldiers attacked the city and made six unusable ladders, but the Great Raid Department had another way. Hearing Xiong Bailing's shout, "Cut down trees!", these sturdy giants immediately pulled out the giant axes and machetes behind their backs, beckoned to the woods next to them, and cut down more than 30 big trees in almost a moment, and cut them into logs four or five zhang long.

Then Xiong Bailing shouted: "Column!"

The three hundred divisions suddenly formed a thirty column, carrying the logs on their shoulders. Xiong Bailing shouted again: "Rush!" These bears roared, strode together, and rushed towards the city wall. Xiong Bailing also stepped forward and followed behind the team.

Although these bears and giants look rough and unruly, and their clothes are very messy, they act in a uniform manner, and they are forbidden without any disobedience, and they are obviously truly trained elites, compared to the officers and soldiers who look brightly armored, but they are chaotic at the first charge, you can see a completely different difference from the momentum alone!

The trap that had made the sailors cry and cry for their mothers was nothing in front of the great soldiers. Although these giants have not practiced real superior light skills, they are superior in height and long legs, and with one big step, they have already crossed the big pit of Zhang Xu Kuan.

Approaching within thirty feet of the wall, the pirate crossbowmen on the wall began to fire arrows again, but it was equally difficult to pose a threat to the Grand Lancer. The logs that had been cut down earlier were originally carried on their shoulders, and with a roar, they were all lifted to the top of their heads with one hand. The logs were so thick that they instantly blocked most of the arrows when they were lifted overhead.

In the other hand, the bears held machetes, axes and other weapons, which were already thick and large, not much smaller than ordinary shields.

Whether it was a trap or a bow and crossbow, not only did it fail to hurt a single person in the Great Rebellion, but it couldn't even slow them down a little!

Xiong Bailing followed the team, stepping over the trap as if he were walking on the ground, and the feather arrows that shot at him were also shot down to the ground with a wave of the giant palm.

The 300 Great Battalion was much faster than the previous 300 officers and soldiers rushing to the front of the city wall. And when they reached the wall, all they could hear was another roar from the giants, and thirty logs had risen upside down and were on top of the stone wall, making a heavy thud!

Bears can climb trees, and these giants of the Great Gang can climb logs no slower than black bears. And when they climbed, they only reached two feet and one arm, and the other hand held a weapon, constantly blocking the arrows fired from the city wall.

In the blink of an eye, the thirty logs were full of people, and the giant man who had climbed to the top was already in close contact with the pirates in the city. I could only hear the exchange of blades, and a few screams rang out, but it was the pirates in the city who were slashed and killed, and the giants had already attacked the top of the wall!

From the beginning of cutting wood to the attack on the city wall, it was indeed less than a cup of tea, and the three hundred major divisions had not injured a single person until now. Seeing this situation, Cao Duyun, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help but feel that this was the real man of the bear and tiger, if thirty percent of the troops in the official army could have such a ability, the Ming Dynasty would not fall into such a difficult and dangerous situation at home and abroad.

And Hua Bushi stared at the Great Sect that was almost on the city wall, but he had another thought in his heart: It is really rare for Xiong Bailing to train such an elite battle department, and it is probably the limit to be able to make the combat power of a disciple who has not practiced superior martial arts reach such a level.

However, the eldest young master was also more looking forward to the ability of the two hundred tiger warriors behind him. You must know that the war department composed of hundreds of disciples who practice superior martial arts, not only will there be no "Wanjin Hall", but even the seven major sects of the Central Plains must not have such a big stroke.

Xiong Zhen is really brave, under the intercourse of short soldiers, even the fierce "Black Dragon Palace" pirates are not opponents, and soon more than ten people climbed the city wall, seeing that the pirates can no longer resist, the city wall is about to be captured by the Great Rebellion.

But at this moment, only a sharp laugh was heard, and a purple shadow appeared on the city wall, and the three giant men of the Great Sect fell straight down from the top of the wall without even snorting.

Although they were far apart, Cao Duyun and Hua Bushi were both sharp-eyed people, and they immediately saw that the purple shadow was a person. This man was tall, seven feet tall, wearing a golden crown of hair on his head, a purple robe, embroidered with dragon patterns on his chest, and high collars and large sleeves, which seemed to be the style of the emperor's crown dress. On his face, he wore a mask in the shape of a black and shiny dragon head, and he couldn't see his true face clearly.

Everywhere Purple Shadow went, the giants of the Great Sect fell one by one, like scarecrows who had no power to resist. In just an instant, more than a dozen bears who had already climbed the wall were beaten and fell down. The pirate minions in the city were greatly demoralized, and shouted loudly, "Dragon King, Dragon King!" and each waved his weapon and reoccupied the wall.

Rushing to the city wall and attacking the wall, the giants of the Great Gang Department did not hurt a single person, but as soon as this purple-robed man appeared, more than ten people were injured in a raised hand!

Could it be that this person is actually the famous Black Dragon King? Cao Duyun and Hua Bushi glanced at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. However, this is the lair of the "Black Dragon Palace", and it is not surprising that the Black Dragon King appears here.

A loud roar came from under the city wall: "Great Rebellion, attack!"

This roar was made by Xiong Bailing. The white-bearded old man came to the base of the wall in one step, and with a little more of his breath, he jumped up and stomped on a log that was erected on the stone wall. The log "clucked" and was almost broken by one foot, but Xiong Bailing used his strength to rise up again and landed on the wall.

The giants of the Great Rebellion were already brave people, and when they saw that the head of the family had risen to the top of the wall, they suddenly roared one by one, climbed to the city with all their might, and slashed and killed the pirates in one place.

Xiong Bailing went up to the city, but he didn't pay attention to the pirate minions next to him, he had already seen the location of the purple-robed man, and strode over, and several pirate minions wanted to block it, but with a wave of his giant palm, he broke his bones and tendons.
