Gou Becomes a Boss in the Fairy World

Chapter 1474 Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (XVIII)

"Kill!"

The roars, screams, the collision of weapons, and the tearing sounds of blades cutting flesh and blood reverberated back and forth on the walls of Qing'an County, stimulating everyone's ears.

Whether it was the bandits who rushed up the walls or the soldiers guarding the walls, they all fell into a frenzy of fighting.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Accompanied by a series of muffled sounds, several bandits flew out like kites with broken strings, with blood gushing out of their mouths.

It was Ye Xiangming who knocked them away. The county magistrate held a Kanglong mace as thick as a child's arm, and his body was covered with blood. It was already difficult to tell whether it was the enemy's or his own.

Suddenly, a nimble figure silently rushed behind Ye Xiangming, holding a dagger in his hand and stabbed him at the back of his waist like lightning.

At this moment, Ye Xiangming must have fought for a long time, and his physical and internal strength were severely consumed. His reaction inevitably became slow, and when he realized the danger, it was too late to dodge.

Swish!

At the critical moment, a feather arrow broke through the air and hit the attacker's right eye.

It penetrated his head!

Ye Xiangming, who escaped from death, turned around and nodded to Wang Chen who saved him.

He did not express gratitude or anything, because he was numb.

The siege of Qing'an County by the bandit army has lasted for five days. Waves of bandits have repeatedly attacked the city walls, as if there is no end.

Under the city wall today, there are a lot of corpses piled up.

Because of the high temperature, corruption occurs, and the defenders have poured a lot of gold juice, so the smell is extremely unpleasant.

Many bandits rushed over in the scorching sun, and were hit by this smell, and vomited bile on the spot!

The corpses of the bandits actually strengthened the defense of Qing'an County, which can be called a hell-level joke.

However, although Qing'an County is still stable, the defenders have paid a very tragic price, with nearly 2,000 casualties.

The siege strategy adopted by the bandit army is actually very simple. In the early stage, cannon fodder is used to consume the supplies of the city defense, such as arrows, rolling stones, wood, and gold juice.

Then the cannon fodder is constantly driven to consume the physical strength and endurance of the soldiers defending the city.

When the time is right, they will send out elite forces to carry out a strong attack and establish victory in one fell swoop.

Relying on this set of tactics, the bandit army has captured three county towns, which can be said to be very effective.

After a few days, the defense force of Qing'an County has been weakened a lot, the supplies for defending the city have plummeted, and the people in the city are panicking, showing signs of instability.

But the county magistrate Yu Heqian was responsible for requisitioning supplies and personnel in the city and stabilizing the situation, while the county magistrate Ye Xiangming defended the city wall and led the garrison to repel the endless bandits.

The bandit army had been defeated many times in recent days, and the two sides had reached a stalemate.

Woo~

The horn sounded, and the bandits who failed again retreated in a hurry.

What was surprising was that the bandits did not send out any more troops to continue to attack the city defense, and even the camp retreated a mile, which seemed to be a sign of stopping.

But Ye Xiangming did not take it lightly. He took this rare opportunity to organize personnel to repair the city defense, treat the wounded and dispatch supplies, and was ready to continue fighting with the bandits at any time.

As a result, a bandit with a white flag came out of the camp and walked all the way to the bottom of the city wall.

Ye Xiangming signaled the archers not to shoot and kill, to see what the other party was up to!

The bandit shouted loudly: "My king has a letter for County Magistrate Yu!"

??????????.??????

He shouted three times in a row, his voice was so loud that everyone inside and outside the city wall could hear it clearly.

Ye Xiangming hesitated for a moment, signaled a soldier to put down the bamboo basket, and asked the other party to put the letter in the basket.

After the letter was hung up, Ye Xiangming took it in his hand but did not open it, and ordered in a deep voice: "Quickly ask the county magistrate to come to discuss important matters!"

He guessed that the bandit army wanted to negotiate with his side because they could not bite off the bone of Qing'an County.

This matter was serious, and Ye Xiangming did not dare to interfere.

After receiving the news, Yu Heqian hurried over and took the letter from Ye Xiangming and opened it in public.

After reading the contents of the letter, the county magistrate couldn't help but sneered, and then returned it to Ye Xiangming to read.

Ye Xiangming was speechless after reading it, and gave it to Wang Chen again.

Because the content of this letter is related to Wang Chen!

This bandit army called itself the "Pingtian Army", and its leader was the "Pingtian King" Li Zili. In the letter, he proposed a condition for peace talks to Yu Heqian.

That is, as long as Qing'an County sends Wang Chen's head, the Pingtian Army will immediately withdraw from Qing'an County and promise not to harass in the future.

Wang Chen's head is the condition for withdrawal!

Yu Heqian sneered: "This kind of clumsy trick of killing people with borrowed knives will only be fooled by a three-year-old child. This Pingtian bandit really treats me as a fool!"

After five days of fierce fighting, the bandit army failed to capture the city wall. In addition to the desperate resistance of the garrison soldiers, Wang Chen played an important role in it, and his contribution is obvious to all.

With a strong bow, Wang Chen shot and killed hundreds of elite bandits. He specialized in dealing with the leaders and masters among the bandits, and the results were very outstanding.

As long as Wang Chen and Ye Xiangming stood on the city wall, no matter how many bandits rushed up, they would be beaten back!

The "Ping Tian Wang" Li Zili obviously hated Wang Chen, so he came up with this scheme to sow discord.

Yu Heqian said to Wang Chen: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, the bandits' tricks will not succeed. As long as you defend Qing'an County, you will be the first to achieve success!"

The county magistrate used honorifics to address Wang Chen.

Wang Chen smiled and nodded.

Ye Xiangming did not speak, but snatched a longbow from the archer next to him, aimed at the bandit waiting under the city, and released the bowstring without hesitation.

"Ah!"

A scream suddenly rang out.

The bandit covered his ears and ran away - his left ear was shot through by Ye Xiangming!

This is the best and most direct response.

As a result, the next morning, the enraged bandit army launched an unprecedented attack, and many sections of the city wall were frequently in danger. It was only thanks to Ye Xiangming and Wang Chen's rescue that they were able to resist the enemy's offensive.

On that day, the casualties in Qing'an County exceeded a thousand!

However, the Pingtian Army, which suffered even more serious losses, showed no signs of retreating. Instead, it pushed the camp forward two miles, showing a posture of breaking the city at all costs.

The most troublesome thing is that the supplies of the defenders are basically running out, especially arrows. Even if the craftsmen in the official workshop work overtime, they can't keep up with the speed of consumption.

The population in the county is only tens of thousands, and the casualties have exceeded 3,000, and they are all soldiers and strong men.

Although it is not to the point where every family is in mourning, the atmosphere in the city is becoming increasingly depressing.

People are even more anxious!
