When Qin Shaoyou and others arrived at the west city gate, the heavy rain had stopped, and the floodwaters that were about to reach their waists were drained away from wells, ditches, etc.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few puddles and silt on the streets, and the air was still filled with the earthy smell after the heavy rain, everyone in the city would really wonder if the heavy rain and flood just now were just a dream.
The aquatic animals brought by Shuibo of the Baiqing River also retreated with the flood.
However, they did not go far, but hid in the underground river, resting temporarily, waiting for the call of Baiqingjiang Shuibo to participate in a new battle.
Although the Shui Tribe left, the people were very grateful to the shrimps, crabs, fish and turtles that saved their lives. Seeing Qin Shaoyou and his group were accompanied by giant crabs, giant turtles and turtles, not only were they not afraid, they also bowed and saluted.
I'm so grateful, Gunshanjun is very envious.
There was a group of soldiers guarding the west city gate. Qin Shaoyou and the others were stopped before they could reach the tower.
When they were rushing through the city before, they also encountered several groups of soldiers holding large orders, patrolling various parts of the city to maintain order.
That is the law enforcement team sent by Yu Shaobao. Once any spies or people who take advantage of the chaos are discovered, they will be punished by military law and executed on the spot!
Qin Shaoyou and the others were walking quickly in the city and were spotted by these groups of soldiers. On the one hand, it was because Yu Shaobao issued a military order. Unless they were in charge of military affairs, they were strictly prohibited from shouting and running in the city.
On the other hand, Qin Shaoyou and the others were not only covered in blood, but they were also dragging a group of people tied up into crabs, which really looked weird and abnormal.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou and the others carried the tokens of the red messengers and showed their identities, so they did not conflict with the law enforcement team.
But at this moment, under the city tower, these soldiers saw the red-clothed messenger token presented by Qin Shaoyou and others, but they did not let them go immediately. Instead, they turned around and went up to the city tower with the token. After a while, they took a man wearing an armor jacket.
The man in red robe comes down.
"Third Senior Brother, you are here too." Qin Qiaoer greeted him with his hands raised.
The man who came was Huang Suiqiu, Qi Longfei's third disciple.
Among the red-clothed messengers, he belongs to the group that is very capable of fighting. There are seven others who are also capable of fighting, collectively known as the Eight Great Vajras.
Seeing Qin Qiao'er, Huang Suiqiu's dark and stern face showed a smile: "Little junior sister, it's good that you're okay. We originally wanted to come to support you, but Master said that you are enough to kill Marquis Dongchuan..."
Having said this, he saw Banla's head being held in Qin Shaoyou's hand and nodded: "It seems that Master is really right."
Immediately afterwards, his eyes turned to Qin Shaoyou.
Perhaps because of his love for Wujiwu, he also had a very friendly attitude towards Qin Shaoyou: "You are Qin Shaoyou, right? You do look very similar to my junior sister. When things get over here and we return to the capital, we will be very close to each other."
After a few words of greeting, Huang Suiqiu returned the identity token to Qin Shaoyou. Qin Qiaoer and others said: "Master and Yu Shaobao are on top of the tower. You can follow me up."
Then he turned around and said to a general guarding here: "Brother Zhixing, these people are indeed our people, please let them go."
Qin Shaoyou glanced at the general and found that like Monk Ma, he had a bald head and a ring scar on his forehead. Although he was wearing heavy armor, he had a string of rosary beads hanging around his neck. He thought to himself that this should be the person who followed him.
Next to Yu Shaobao, he is one of the eighteen warrior monks who learned martial arts and supernatural powers from the battle formation.
With Huang Suiqiu as a guarantee, Zhizong didn't see anything wrong with Qin Shaoyou and others, so he ordered the soldiers to put away their weapons, remove the roadblocks, and let Qin Shaoyou and others go up the tower.
Qin Shaoyou took a glance and found that these soldiers were actually the city gate guards from before. It was just that they were lazy when they were under the command of Marquis Dongchuan. Now that they had a new chief soldier, their attitude had changed drastically.
There must be a desire to gain performance in front of the new leader, but more importantly, it should be that Yu Shaobao is strict in managing the army and is able to convince the public, so he can have such an effect of 'changing a commander is like changing a knife'.
Arriving at the top of the city, the first thing Qin Shaoyou saw was something like a Kongming lantern, flying in the mid-air outside the city, emitting blazing firelight, dispersing the darkness, allowing people to see clearly the scene outside the city.
I saw a large number of people outside the city. Sure enough, the Qingtang army was invading!
In the past, from storytellers, we often heard the phrase "When there are ten thousand people, there is no limit." Now seeing the Qingtang army invading outside the city, Qin Shaoyou realized what it was like to see the enemy's boundless army.
Especially the Kongming lantern floating in the air outside the city did not dare to fly too close to the Qingtang army, because once it got close, it would be shot down by the skilled archers in the Qingtang army with strong bows and crossbows.
Therefore, no one can say for sure how many enemies are hidden in the darkness in the distance. Even Qin Shaoyou, relying on his [Bright Eyes], could only see the black waves behind the Qingtang barbarians.
A huge piece of Yang!
The Qingtang barbarians held up various weapons and rode on strange-looking war horses and war bulls that were obviously enchanted.
They were running back and forth outside the city, making strange screams. The weapons they held high in their hands carried bloody human heads, and there were many heads on their waists, making them look like they were from
Demonic soldiers and generals crawling out of hell!
In front of the Qingtang barbarians, there was a group of people who were being driven away.
They were Qingtang Guard soldiers who were taken out by Marquis Dongchuan, but were ambushed and severely defeated.
Now these soldiers of the Xia Kingdom were treated as playthings for wanton killing by the Qingtang barbarians, as well as cannon fodder for attacking the city. The Qingtang barbarians drove these defeated soldiers to the city and asked them to call the door.
In order to survive, these defeated soldiers shouted loudly under the city wall, hoping to get Brother Paoze on top of the city to open the city gate and let them in for the sake of their old friendship.
But no one dares to open this door.
Because everyone knows very well that once the city gate is opened, the elite Qingtang barbarian cavalry ambushing behind will rush into the city under the leadership of the Qingtang shaman and powerful generals before the defeated troops can enter.
If Qingtang seizes the gate and is forced to engage in street fighting, the city will not be able to defend itself.
When the Qingtang barbarians saw the people on the city wall, they had no intention of opening the door and were not in a hurry to change their tactics, so they left the defeated soldiers to curse and cry for mercy under the city wall.
They rode horses and oxen, stretched out their bows and set arrows, and shot and killed the defeated soldiers wantonly under the city. In this way, they destroyed the morale of the defenders on the city wall.
At the same time, there were several loud-mouthed soldiers who, under the coercion and inducement of the Qingtang barbarians, were subjected to witchcraft by the Qingtang wizard, which made their heads become extremely large and their voices also became louder.
Tone, shout loudly:
"You can't even save your own brother Pao Ze, so why are you defending the city? Surrender early, and maybe you can still have a way out!"
"Qingtang barbarians... ah... Qingtang's army has raised millions of troops this time. uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com You can't resist it alone. Hurry up and open the city gates and surrender. You can still have a chance of survival.
Otherwise, when the Qingtang army breaks through the city, everyone will die!"
"The noble Qingtang said that once you resist, when the city is defeated, you will massacre for seven days to vent your hatred! For the sake of your parents, wives, children, and the people in the city, you should open the door and surrender early!"
The defenders on the city wall gnashed their teeth in hatred towards these big-headed guys.
Their voices were not only loud, but also very penetrating. Not only could the defenders on the city wall hear them, but the people in the city could also hear them.
If you don't respond well, they may disrupt the morale of the military and the people, and cause big problems.
These Qingtang barbarians used to go head-to-head with each other, but when did they learn to use their brains? First they used a trick to ambush the Marquis of Dongchuan, and now they used this heart-attacking strategy... They were simply cunning.
The defenders on the city wall wanted to kill these people, but the position where they stood was beyond the range of the crossbows. The defenders could not shoot them at all. They could only gnash their teeth and greet these people's parents and ancestors.
generation.
Unlike others, Qin Shaoyou, who has [bright eyesight], also saw many demons and ghosts in the dark night, attracted by the smell of blood and resentment here.
However, even demons and ghosts did not dare to approach this Qingtang army.
Once they get too close, there is no need for the Qingtang barbarians to be dispatched. Just the murderous intention and fierceness of the army will disperse the souls of the evil ghosts in an instant, suppressing and destroying the big demon!
This situation is enough to show that this group of Qingtang barbarians is not only large in number, but also terrifying in strength!
How to fight this battle? How to overcome this difficulty?
Qin Shaoyou squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought.
