Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain
186、It is not easy to siege the city
Countless brass-colored swords, like wild beasts coming out of their cages, kept flying out of the city. No one could see clearly how many of these swords there were. They could only see them flying out of the city in a steady stream.
I don’t know where the source is, let alone how many swords will fly out.
One hundred... two hundred... three hundred... one thousand... two thousand... ten thousand...
The long swords were still rushing out, but after the long swords that had come out in front had been hovering in the air for two weeks, they all suddenly stopped in place, motionless, as if they had received some instructions.
After only three breaths, the long swords immediately turned around, and the sword points were all pointed at the black-armored Yongzhou soldiers who were still fighting bloody battles on the west gate.
call out…………
The first long sword suddenly cut through the sky, bringing out a copper-yellow sword light, pointing directly at the nearest black-armored soldier, and passed through his body in an instant!
Phew……………Boom………Boom…………
It was as if someone had made a start, and the remaining long swords became manic in an instant, and followed them like shooting stars all over the sky towards the city wall. Tens of thousands of flying long swords attacked together. Such a grand scene,
All the Yongzhou soldiers on the city wall had their pupils trembling, some timid ones had started to tremble in their legs, and there were even a few who were shrinking back...
"Charge in and mix with them!"
Suddenly, a voice also sounded from the heads of Yongzhou soldiers.
These soldiers are not fools. After hearing these words, some clever people immediately reacted. As long as they fight with the soldiers guarding the city, the attacks of these long swords will not be so smooth, and they will all be beaten one by one.
Generally, they become even crazier and rush towards the inner walls of the city.
"Come in and get entangled with them, these long swords will be useless!"
"The commander is right, go in and kill."
"Come on, brothers..."
…………
The tide-like offensive of Yongzhou soldiers once again flooded the city wall, and as people continued to come up from behind, the pressure on the Xuzhou soldiers defending the city suddenly doubled, and the sound of gold and stone from swords, guns, swords and halberds suddenly filled the entire place.
Most of the ordinary Kaishen realm soldiers just used the power of Qi and blood to carry out primitive killings, while a small number of Gang Qi realm warriors in the two armies used their own unique skills to duel. The power of Gang Qi they exuded was already impressive.
In addition, it was a life-and-death fight at this moment, and the momentum was even greater. The surrounding soldiers did not dare to approach at all, forming one vacuum zone after another about ten meters in radius.
And as long as the duel between these Gangqi realm warriors comes to an end, if the defender wins, the Xuzhou soldiers will immediately occupy this area. Otherwise, if the attacker wins, the attacking Yongzhou soldiers will immediately swarm up.
Due to the stimulation of the brass sword array, the Yongzhou soldiers fought more fiercely than before, and achieved considerable results in a short time. Overall, they took up a full part of the city wall that was only fifty or sixty meters wide.
There were about 70% of the soldiers defending the city in Xuzhou. After all, there were still too few soldiers, and they were quickly scattered by countless Yongzhou soldiers. The soldiers from the two sides quickly killed each other.
The entanglement caused the battle to become more fierce, with swords scratching their necks and halberds piercing their chests. At this moment, not to mention armor, even the shields held by many soldiers could not ensure their safety.
However, although the battle on the city wall seemed chaotic, the two sides were not just a mob. Behind the attackers and defenders, there were lagging soldiers, holding five-stone crossbows and aiming at some brave warriors in the opponent's camp, releasing from time to time.
Some sharp soldiers were able to detect the cold arrows one after another and narrowly avoided them, while many more were directly penetrated by these terrifyingly powerful cold arrows and died instantly.
There are also some who are obviously masters of sneak attacks in the army. Most of the weapons in their hands are longer. They specialize in finding those entangled areas on the battlefield. When the enemy is not paying attention, they can sneak attack from the flank and achieve good results.
.
Cold shots and arrows came from all directions. In addition, no one completely occupied the city wall. The number of casualties increased several times in an instant. The ground on the city wall was soon covered with corpses and blood flowed into rivers. The cruelty was evident.
After all, it is a battle between two armies, which is not the same as a duel between warriors. On the battlefield, in order to kill the enemy and survive, let alone dirty tricks, even shameless things can be done. The two sides are already red-blooded at this moment, and they are using dirty tricks frequently.
It's a pity that compared to Yongzhou's flood of black-armored soldiers, the number of people on Xuzhou's side defending the city was still too small. Originally, they only occupied less than 30% of the city wall, and soon only 20% was left. And as Yongzhou's offensive became more and more intense,
It was so violent that they were still retreating. Many soldiers had even fallen off the city wall, and the city was about to be breached...
The method of the Yongzhou soldiers seemed to have really worked. After they and the Xuzhou soldiers rushed into a group, the offensive of the copper-yellow swords in the sky really began to change. They only flew towards the soldiers behind who had not followed up, while the front was entangled with the Xuzhou soldiers.
Those who were together were not attacked.
Such a scene undoubtedly stimulated the Yongzhou soldiers in the rear. After all, as long as they could rush to the front and entangle with the Xuzhou soldiers, these bronze-yellow swords would not be able to attack them, so the offensive became fierce again...
Almost everyone believed that as long as they could get in front of the Xuzhou soldiers, those copper-yellow swords would not attack them again. This knowledge spread extremely quickly to the hearts of every Yongzhou soldier on the city wall, causing consequences.
The 20% of the territory originally occupied by Xuzhou was soon completely lost and was breached by Yongzhou soldiers. Only the last part of the entire city wall was left, with about four to five thousand Xuzhou soldiers still occupying a group with them.
However, at the next moment, all Yongzhou soldiers were dumbfounded...
The long copper-yellow swords that filled the sky suddenly fell like raindrops in the air. Not only that, where they fell, all the people standing there were Yongzhou soldiers.
Pfft…………
Thousands of long swords fell from the sky, and their power was almost equivalent to a full blow from a warrior who was above the tenth level. These warriors who were only at the fifth level and above were simply unable to withstand it.
Even if a Gang Qi realm warrior can block one or two sword rays, he will still be helpless in the face of such dense sword rays like raindrops for a long time.
This rain of copper-yellow swords instantly became a life-threatening talisman for the Yongzhou soldiers on the city wall. In one round, at least thousands of lives were taken away.
What's even more frightening is that these long swords are not entities. After falling to the ground, they quickly turn into rays of light and return to the sky. In an instant, they condense into the original long sword appearance and fall again...
That is to say, this is an endless rain of copper-yellow swords. As long as all their people are not dead, these long swords will continue to appear and then fall. How can they fight?
The pupils of Yongzhou soldiers were all filled with fear. They were poured a basin of cold water on them. The joy of storming the city wall was instantly gone, leaving only fear in their hearts.
A new round of sword rain fell again. Just when all Yongzhou soldiers were planning to retreat, suddenly a strong wind blew from outside the city and forcibly changed the direction of the sword light. Then a voice came, attacking the city.
The soldiers' faces suddenly showed a hint of joy, and they looked up to the sky.
A man in white clothes holding a paper fan was already standing in the air at some point. The strong wind just now was obviously blown by the paper fan in his hand.
"Lu Guanqing, remove the sword array. You are in trouble in Wanyang County. As long as you open the city gates and surrender now and serve our holy religion, I will not only protect you from death, but I will also guarantee that the people in the city will not offend you. How about that?"
Lu Guanqing, who had just flown into the air to activate the brass sword formation, was standing in the air at this moment. Hearing Peng Yuhu's voice, he immediately said with awe and righteousness: "I, Lu Guanqing, am the bronze envoy of Wanyang County and have been favored by the Holy Sect. I want to surrender."
Peng Yuhu, are you dreaming!"
Peng Yuhu frowned fiercely, and a surge of anger suddenly surged into his heart. At this moment, another person flew up behind him and whispered to him: "Gu Tianyun is still in the city, and Lu Guanqing cannot surrender."
The person who came was dressed in the exact opposite color to Peng Yuhu. He was dressed in black. He was not much different in age from him, but his face was thinner and his eyes were triangular, giving him a sinister feeling.
Xingnan Prefecture controls six counties and governs all aspects of affairs. It is naturally impossible for Peng Yuhu to rely on just one governor. Like the two major yamen in Tongling County, Xingnan Prefecture not only has the position of governor, but also has a warden.
The person in charge of the first-level warden is Jialan, a first-level high-ranking member of the Holy Cult.
Jialan, the warden of Xingnan Prefecture, is Master Fanyin, and the sinister middle-aged man in front of him is Master Fanyin's subordinate, the ghost-hand sword, Han Feng.
Han Feng has always been known for his intelligence and scheming, and he has won the trust of Master Fanyin. He is known as the second warden in Xingnan Mansion. Because Master Fanyin was still in Tongling and had not come over, he sent him to come with him.
Although Peng Yuhu is the governor of Xingnan Prefecture and is the number one figure in the whole mansion, he knows in his heart that when the Rakshasa Holy Cult reaches the prefectural level, the one who really has the final say is Jialan, let alone Xingnan
Jialan, the tutor of the mansion, is still the Sanskrit master Zhan Taiqing, so he has always kept his position very upright and obeyed the Sanskrit master. Even for people like Han Feng, Peng Yuhu also tried his best to stay friendly and not offend.
"If we don't withdraw from this brass sword formation, we can't get in. If I pester Lu Guanqing, these soldiers will continue to die under the sword formation. If I keep these soldiers and fight in, Lu Guanqing will definitely come and pester me.
The soldiers are the ones who suffer the most!"
Peng Yuhu looked a little ugly. He had been attacking for three consecutive days. It was just an ordinary Wanyang County city. He dispatched 50,000 soldiers. He thought he would be able to attack it today, but he didn't expect that there was such a powerful defensive city.
Sword array.
The cities in Xuzhou have city protection barriers like Yongzhou. As a prefect, Peng Yuhu had naturally expected this, so he dispatched almost one-third of his soldiers to attack the city, but this brass
The power of the sword array was far beyond his expectation...
This copper-yellow long sword that fills the sky must be a spiritual body rather than a physical entity. Not only can it perform such fine and differentiated attacks, each strike can actually have the strength of the tenth level. The most outrageous thing is that it can trigger the attack without limit.
, more than four hundred years have passed, and the Ten Thousand Swords Saint Sect has actually created such a powerful city-protecting sword formation?
A quick guess is that since there is a sword formation in Wanyang County, there must be a sword formation in Longxiang County below, as well as in other cities in Xuzhou. Then this battle will not be easy to fight!
"If Lu Guanqing doesn't surrender, we can't get in. Even if we get in, there is still Gu Tianyun, the head of the Xizhao Sword, waiting inside. Isn't this city insurmountable for us..."
Peng Yuhu shook the paper fan to calm down a little, but seeing the fearless Lu Guanqing in the city, instead of calming down, he became even more upset and agitated.
Han Feng shook his head and said: "Before the master came, we couldn't attack. Even if we did, if Gu Tianyun made a desperate counterattack, we would suffer countless casualties. Gu Tianyun also knew that the master would come, so so far
They didn't even show up, they just asked Lu Guanqing and these Xuzhou soldiers to come out and die!
Just because we didn’t attack it doesn’t mean there was no victory.”
Peng Yuhu immediately realized Han Feng's words. He lowered his head and glanced at the few Xuzhou soldiers left under the city wall. He nodded slightly and said, "The 50,000-strong army attacked the city for three consecutive days. More than 8,000 Xuzhou soldiers died in the city."
, there should be only more than three thousand left, and there are indeed results, but..."
At this point, he paused and his tone became serious and said: "We also suffered a lot of casualties. We lost tens of thousands of the 50,000 soldiers in the first round of siege!"
In fact, if we only talk about the battle losses of the siege and defenders, the losses in Yongzhou are actually very small in comparison. This is due to the generally aggressive folk customs in the six magic states and the fighting ability of the warriors.
It is also much stronger than the Seven States of the Righteous Way. Otherwise, with the same capabilities, the damage done by the siege team would definitely be worse than it is now.
But the problem is that Peng Yuhu, the governor, can't bear such a loss.
This time he mobilized almost all the troops of Xingnan Prefecture, a total of 170,000 troops, which was almost ready to attack the entire Guangling Prefecture of Xuzhou. He only attacked the first city and lost tens of thousands. The Guangling Prefecture
After defeating the nine counties, how much of Yongzhou's army will be left?
"Maintain the results of the battle. Stabilize the city wall first. Gu Tianyun is only one person. Wanyang County is the first city in this war between the two states. The victory or defeat can affect the outcome of the subsequent battle. We know this, and they Xuzhou also knows it, so
Gu Tianyun could not leave Wanyang County behind unless he had absolutely no choice but to do so.
The city wall that cost 10,000 troops to build must be preserved. There are still 120,000 troops behind us. There is no force in the city to counterattack. No matter how powerful this brass sword array is, it can only be used in the city. You and I
As long as we stand on the city wall, the sword array cannot hurt our soldiers.
In this way, as soon as the master arrives, this Wanyang County will be completely over!"
Peng Yuhu naturally understood what Han Feng meant. As soon as Zhan Taiqing arrived, Gu Tianyun's intimidation would become less important. It did not mean that Zhan Taiqing would definitely be able to defeat him. The key was that their troops and lineup had the upper hand. Zhan Taiqing did not need to win, as long as Gu Tianyun arrived.
They can no longer play an important role, so as long as no reinforcements come from Xuzhou, Wanyang County will definitely fall into their hands.
No matter how powerful Gu Tianyun is, he is a warrior in the Qianyang realm. He can at most withstand the blood of a hundred thousand troops and kill a wave. But if someone is unlucky enough to be entangled, the end will be death. If this happens, the two states will go to war.
Where Xizhao Swordhead was killed, the blow to Xuzhou was too severe, so Gu Tianyun would not take risks and would only try to hold on to this place until reinforcements arrived.
The soldiers of Yongzhou were afraid of the brass sword formation and only dared to stay on the city wall. There were very few soldiers of Xuzhou left and could no longer organize a counterattack. They could only wait in formation below. The two sides just looked at each other and no one acted rashly.
Ever since, the two sides formed a strange tacit understanding...
