Nightwatcher

Boom boom boom!

At the head of Xunzhou City, the sound of dull drums echoed in the sky, and rows of armored and sharp defenders rushed to the head of the city.

The militiamen are also well-trained, and they carry the defense equipment in an orderly manner.

In the sound of drums to meet the enemy, everyone from the militiamen to the soldiers, from the soldiers to the generals, showed extremely strong qualities and experience. For the people in the city, it is a blessing to have a high-quality army guarding the city.

For the defenders personally, the bitterness of this is not enough to be understood by outsiders.

How many baptisms of iron and blood have passed before he has the ability to stay calm and well-trained.

When the drums were beating loudly at the top of the city, in the prefect's compound, Yang Gong put on his official hat, adjusted his clothes, and looked at Zhang Shen and Li Mubai in the hall.

"Almost all the elites brought over from Qingzhou have been wiped out, and the strength of the Yongzhou Guard has also been damaged by seven or eight. Now it's our turn to fight in person."

Yang Gong smiled and said:

"Sincerely, Mu Bai, we have known each other for half our lives, and it seems that we have never fought side by side in the battlefield."

Zhang Shen let out a hey, and said:

"Yunlu Academy has been silent for two hundred years, and the world has long not known the strength of my Confucianism."

The scholars of Yunlu Academy in the past dynasties have two wishes:

First, scholars of the Confucian system can return to the temple.

Second, let the practitioners of the major systems in Kyushu recall the fear of being dominated by Confucianism.

In the Central Plains before the warlock system appeared, it was not the vulgar martial arts but the Confucianism that supported the dynasties and the backbone of the Central Plains dynasty!

It was Confucianism that suppressed wizards and shocked Buddhism.

There are Buddhas in the Western Regions, Witches in the Northeast, Gu in the Southern Borders, and Monsters in the Northern Borders are all rubbish!

Only Confucianism in the Central Plains is proud of Kyushu.

Two hundred years ago, Cheng Yasheng flattered the king and founded Guozijian, which pushed Yunlu Academy and even the entire Confucian system out of the temple.

Here, there are also supervisors who are contributing to the flames.

As a result, Confucianism has been silent for two hundred years, and the third rank is rare, and the second rank and the first rank have been extinct since then.

Today's monks in Kyushu have long forgotten the glory of Confucianism at its peak.

Li Mubai seemed more pragmatic:

"All the elites of the Yunzhou Army came here. If you can kill one, you must kill all the elites of the Yunzhou Army in Xunzhou.

"The dean has already been approved by the empress to enter the temple. After this battle, Jinyan and I can also be crowned kings and ministers for the achievements we have made. If we can be promoted to extraordinary in the future, we will go to trouble with that old dean again." .

"He stole several poems from us."

No, they robbed me. Yang Gong and Zhang Shen retorted in their hearts at the same time.

The three great scholars looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison:

"The place where I am is not the lobby, but the city of Xunzhou."

Say what you say!

Three clear lights rose up, covering the figures of the three people, leading them to disappear in the lobby.

Boom boom boom!

At the head of the city, the artillery roared, and the shells rushed out of the barrel and fell into the densely packed siege army.

Every cannonball is an expanding flame, blasting up large pieces of earth, rocks and stumps.

After paying a certain amount of casualties, the Yunzhou rebels successfully advanced the artillery and crossbows, bringing the city walls into range.

Then the two armies fired at each other and competed in firepower.

With the cover of their own artillery fire, the densely packed enemy army rushed under the city wall in an instant, and then began to attack the city.

The first batch of siege battalions were the Pioneer Battalion and the Siege Battalion. The two big battalions each had nine small battalions, with a total number of 3,600 people. They were composed of Jianghu people and recruits. Warriors lead.

The role of the two battalions is very clear, to create a breakthrough for the follow-up elite infantry battalion.

Therefore, the vanguard battalion and the siege battalion had the highest casualties, but Qi Guangbo didn't care. To be a commander, he must understand the truth that kindness does not command soldiers, and he must have the consciousness to use soldiers like mud.

Since ancient times, the siege of a city has always been done with the lives of soldiers.

Qi Guangbo held a binoculars, looking at the tragic offensive and defensive battle at the top of the city.

Under the cover of artillery, the vanguard battalion and the siege battalion faced the wood and arrows. After paying a terrible price, they finally reached the top of the city and fought to the death with the defenders.

The hole has been cut open.

With a calm face, Qi Guangbo took out two small flags from his horse bag, one black and one red.

Xuan Qi represents the elite of the Baizhan Battalion, a total of 10,000 infantry, led by Yang Chuannan, the former governor of Yunzhou, and a group of fourth-rank masters. They are the real elites of the direct line.

Regardless of Dafeng or Yunzhou, the main force is actually infantry.

How many cavalry can there be? The Central Plains is no bigger than Saibei. There are vast grasslands and herds of cattle, sheep and horses.

Boom boom boom!

The battle drums sounded, and the Hundred Battle Battalion, which had been eager to try for a long time, rushed out, and the phalanx of ten thousand people dispersed, led by their respective leaders towards the top of the city.

"The artillery at the top of the city is a bit fierce."

Qi Guangbo threw the red flag to the lieutenant again.

The lieutenant general immediately passed on his instructions, and soon, a banner with a giant red bird painted on it was waved vigorously.

"Cruel!"

Amidst the cries that resounded through the sky, four hundred Suzaku troops charged up from behind the army, flapping their wings and soaring.

On the back of a giant bird with crimson feathers, sat a rider with a quiver, hooking barrels of kerosene in its claws, and darting towards the city.

The kerosene was shattered at the top of the city, and splashed on the walls, horse paths, and soldiers.

There are scorched marks and flames everywhere on the top of the city. These kerosene falling from the sky are real fire cooking oil, roasting the Dafeng defenders.

Flying cavalry is known as the trump card division, ranking first among all major arms, better than heavy cavalry and artillery.

In this era, there is no concept of "air supremacy". We only know that when one party completely controls the initiative of air strikes, it can be called a devastating disaster for the other party.

The strong attack of the Suzaku army, coupled with the siege of the Baizhan Battalion, caused the situation at the head of the Xunzhou city to get out of control in an instant.

Yang Gong and other great Confucian scholars tried their best to arouse the power of speaking out, trying to extinguish the flames.

However, there were so many masters in the Hundred Battle Battalion, they had to concentrate on coping with the persecution, and they couldn't spare their hands to deal with these flying cavalry who came and went like the wind.

In the city, the residence of the Flying Beast Army.

An aide looked at the Heart Gu Masters who were ready to go, looked at the ferocious black-scaled flying beasts, bowed and said:

"In this battle, the enemy's flying cavalry must be exhausted to get rid of the princes."

Tamo grinned:

"It's a big deal. The soldiers of the Heart Gu Department keep their word. If they promised Xu Yinluo to work for your Central Plains court, they will never spare their lives."

In Xunzhou City, an army of two hundred flying beasts soared into the sky, blatantly cutting into the battlefield to block the Suzaku army.

After the siege battalion and the vanguard battalion used their lives to "gouge" a hole in the top of the city, the second tragic fight took place at a high altitude that even fourth-rank warriors could hardly reach.

High in the sky, the army of Suzaku with crimson feathers like fire, and the army of flying beasts with pitch-black scales and flapping membrane wings, collided together at high speed like a red cloud and a black cloud.

The leading red giant bird didn't have a knight on its back. It was a fourth-rank monster, Xu Pingfeng's subordinate who had been subdued in the early days, and also the leader of the Vermilion Bird Army.

In the First Battle of Songshan County, the Suzaku army led by it slaughtered most of the flying beast army of the Heart Gu Department, reducing the number of flying beasts from four hundred to two hundred and twenty.

While the Flying Beast Army was downsizing, the Suzaku Army also suffered heavy losses. The Suzaku Army with 400 riders at this moment is the only remaining flying cavalry of the Yunzhou Army.

The fearless arrogance of the soldiers of the Heart Gu Department left a very deep impression on this fourth-rank monster.

The moment the two flying cavalry troops met in the air, the big demon Suzaku spread its wings backwards, driving its body to stand up, and covered Tamo with claws sharper than steel.

Tamo is the first to enter the realm of the fourth rank, his cultivation is not as good as that of the great demon Suzaku, and his ability to fight at close range is even worse, but the heart gu is best at controlling. He immediately whistled lightly, using sound waves as a medium to forcibly influence the great demon Suzaku's body. soul.

The sharp claws covering Ta Mo froze slightly, and in this gap, the giant black-scaled beast controlled by Ta Mo passed by the big demon Suzaku, and the long knife in his hand drew a string of dazzling sparks on Suzaku's abdomen.

Only a few red feathers were chopped off.

Flying cavalry is not like a horse, it cannot stop once it takes off, the two leaders passed by and crashed into the opposing lineup.

The big demon Suzaku turned around, its wings were like sharp knives, and it cut two Heart Gu warriors, both humans and beasts, into several sections on the spot. The red feathers were stained with blood, making it even more coquettish.

On the other side, Tamo controlled the giant black-scaled beast, and while frightening the red bird with the heart voodoo technique, he swung his saber and chopped off the riders of the Suzaku army along the way.

The corpses of the giant black-scaled beast and the big red bird fell down one after another.

At the end of the first wave of rushing, the positions of the two sides were reversed, and each lost more than 30 horses.

The two flying cavalry quickly adjusted their formation, and Tamo raised his saber and shouted loudly in Nanjiang dialect:

"Soldiers of the Heart Gu Department, charge with me!"

The big demon Suzaku screamed, and led the Suzaku army to meet him with wings.

The second wave of tragic charge ended, both sides lost more than 20 horses each, and the corpses fell like rain.

After the third wave of killing, the flying beast army of the Heart Gu Department had only 100 riders left, and the Suzaku Army had 260 riders left. Leaving aside the leader of the big demon Suzaku, the individual combat power of the Suzaku Army is far inferior to that of the Heart Gu. The flying beast army.

Heart Gu is an expert in controlling beasts, and can exert influence on enemy flying cavalry.

After the fourth wave of killing, there were only fifty riders left in the Heart Gu Department, while the number of Suzaku Army was reduced to more than one hundred and eighty riders.

The big demon Suzaku didn't trade her life for another, only one hundred and eighty riders were left in the four hundred Suzaku army, she was bleeding with distress, these were all her direct descendants.

"It's the turn of you, a person from southern Xinjiang, to throw your head and blood for the matter of the imperial court?"

The big demon Suzaku said sharply:

"How many flying beast armies in your Heart Gu Department make you toss like this, for the sake of Dafeng, is it worth it? With the capriciousness and shamelessness of the Dafeng court, today you will die fighting for Dafeng, and tomorrow you may send your troops south to wipe out your Gu clan .

"Revenge for kindness and revenge, how little has been done by the court?"

Tamo said "Hey":

"Smelly bitches, stop your fucking nonsense, Gu warriors are not afraid of death!

"Brothers, charge with me!"

The remaining fifty riders from the Heart Gu Department roared in unison, and charged towards the Suzaku army with flying beasts. They have always kept their mission in mind, and at the same time, it is what the Dafeng Army is trying to do—to fight for the elite of the Yunzhou Army.

This is the fifth hedge.

This time, none of the fifty flying beasts survived. Like their companions, they fell to the battlefield below and stayed in Dafeng forever.

There was only one bloody Tamo left, the armor on his body had been shattered, the knife in his hand was curling, and there were many fatal wounds on his body.

The big demon Suzaku was completely furious, because the Suzaku army it had painstakingly managed had less than a hundred riders, and it had been burned for more than ten years.

"I won't let you die so easily, I will tear off your hands and feet, cut open your belly, and eat your internal organs bit by bit." Suzaku snapped.

Ta Mo lowered his head, looked at the scattered corpses of compatriots and corpses above and below the city, and said softly:

"It's all dead."

Xu Yinluo's cousin, Xu Xinnian, has a good saying - the earthen pot cannot be broken without leaving the well, and the general will inevitably die before the battle.

What he said was so fucking reasonable, why couldn't he say such level words.

I really want the cubs in the clan to have the opportunity to study for a few years like the children in the Central Plains.

Fortunately, such an opportunity is not impossible in the future.

When Dafeng wins this battle, the Gu clan as allies will be able to trade with the Central Plains, and the Gu clan will no longer be short of tea, porcelain and silk from the Central Plains.

With the wisdom of the leader Chunyan, he would definitely think of borrowing the teacher from Dafeng.

Reading is good, children who read are smarter.

Ta Mo lowered his head, looked towards the city of Xunzhou, and said loudly:

"Tell Xu Yinluo, if you promise to give me the Gu clan, you can't lose a penny, this is what I deserve.

"In the forest of steles outside Xunzhou City, there must be the names of my Gu clan officers and soldiers. You sons of bitches from the Central Plains, you must remember us."

After shouting these two sentences, he didn't wait for the response from the defenders at the top of the city, raised his curly saber, and shouted:

"Brothers, fight with me!"

But there was no one behind him.

A lone rider charged forward, a suicide charge.

The 400 flying beast army of the Heart Gu Department was completely annihilated and died in the battle in Xunzhou City.
