When the Xuanwu flying boat crashed into the sky above Sichuan City with an unstoppable momentum, the roaring hoofbeats of war horses had gradually faded away.
Unlike the chaotic and noisy Sichuan City that was awakened now, the southwest mountains and forests closest to Sichuan City were still very quiet.
】
It is dark here, the birds and animals are silent, and even the insects that like to chirp at night seem to have fallen asleep collectively.
It wasn't until the sound of a dead branch being trampled by a heavy object was heard that it seemed to trigger a chain reaction. The entire forest suddenly came alive. Countless black shadows either walked out of the depths of the forest or walked out of the canyon on the side of the mountain.
They were silent and came to the flat fields to the north of the mountains to gather. Once every centurion was fully formed, they set off one by one. It didn't take long for more than a dozen centurions to leave one after another and quickly move towards the south gate of Sichuan City.
Let’s go!
??????????????????These advancing centurions were almost connected end to end. Under the sudden golden light in the sky, they looked like a long snake that was accelerating and squirming, faster and faster!
Finally, the defenders on the city wall of Sichuan City discovered something strange outside the city after a golden light lit up in the sky. They shouted, and under the command of the officers on the city wall, they drew their bows and nocked arrows to shoot outside the city, only to find that these centurions had no chance at all.
They were walking outside the range of their crossbows. For a while, most people had no way of judging the movements of the enemy troops outside the city, just like the previous elite cavalry that left straight eastward.
But soon, they knew they were wrong!
Because a wave of light rain fell in the south city gate, the sound of explosions was so dense, and the ground shook so much that the soldiers guarding the walls here felt the cold breath of death just by feeling it in the distance.
Then, the entire city wall seemed to shake. When the soldiers on the city wall guessed what happened, everyone felt even more chilled.
The city is broken.
The officers began to run and shout, and the soldiers responded numbly. Groups of troops moved closer to the south city gate, trying to control the situation there before the enemy troops outside the city entered the city gate!
Inside and outside the city, it's like a race.
When the two sides arrived near the South City Gate, a fierce battle was inevitable!
The centurions on the attacking side rushed into the city gate without hesitation, and did not form a formation. However, just before they rushed into it, three flying swords shot into it with a "whoosh", and then there was another explosion.
Flying backwards! When the centurion rushed into the relatively narrow city gate, the scorching residual heat that was almost ready to cook people was still burning their skin to the point of pain!
There was no one alive inside the city gate at this time, but the officers and soldiers on the other side reacted very quickly. The two parties immediately engaged in close combat within this narrow range, and blood flowed into a river for a while!
No one took a step forward, and lives were filling up quickly!
At the same time, soldiers began to fill the vacancies on the top of the city. They fired their bows and arrows downwards one by one, making the people who were stuck outside the city gate unable to advance or retreat become living targets!
So the three flying swords no longer shot into the city gate. Instead, they carried three big men wearing the battle armor of captains and military commanders and jumped up to the top of the city. The flying swords swept back and forth, immediately clearing a blank space on the top of the city.
But soon there were four people with swords coming from the city!
The three of them were not surprised when they saw this. They looked at each other and threw the flying swords into the air at the same time. They made seals with both hands and the three flying swords turned into three numbers again.
The sword light that was ten feet long struck straight at the inner position of the city gate cave!
"Crack!"
The three swords were so sharp that they directly cut a gap between the city gate cave and the reinforcements outside the cave, and then cut through the road. The boulders shattered and disintegrated, causing the surrounding soldiers to dodge.
When a wave of monks' talismans rained down from the sky, the ground had become bumpy. Many soldiers fell down and never stood up again. There were many trampled dead and wounded!
When the four Guangjun officers who came from the city with swords jumped to the top of the city, the three Lijun officers had already jumped into the inner city, with three flying swords in their hands, cutting and stabbing like three ordinary swords.
In the midst of the siege, every move could take away an enemy's life, but none of the three people summoned the sword energy of several feet in length again. The four Guangjun officers on the top of the city seemed to be submerged in Guangjun.
The three enemies in the sea of soldiers were unable to use their full strength for a while.
In just a few moments, the battle in the city gate cave finally decided the winner!
The soldiers who were pouring in from outside the city immediately broke out with ear-splitting shouts of killing. They poured into Wengcheng like a tide. After a brief confrontation, they defeated the Guangjun soldiers in Wengcheng and rushed into the city in a torrent!
The situation became clear in an instant, and the soldiers who had been fighting to the death and guarding the city gate area began to waver. Many of them were already taking advantage of the officers' inattention to escape into the darkness of the inner city. More people stayed, but they had to keep fighting at the front.
The retreating defeated soldiers slowly retreated, and in the process of retreating step by step, the last bit of luck and ambition was wiped out.
Soon, it was unknown which mid-level and low-level officer the "retreat" order came from, or it was just a unilateral forged military order by a certain soldier. All the soldiers who were still holding on, or those who fled in front, found a common and clear will.
Instead of retreating up the city wall, he ran towards the dark city of Sichuan City, towards the east, towards Guang County, and fled desperately...
The four Guangjun officers on the top of the city who were still killing the enemy with their swords looked inside the city and then at the steady stream of Lijun soldiers outside the city. After looking at each other, they flew away with their swords.
As soon as the four people left, the south city gate completely changed hands.
Lijun soldiers continued to pour into Sichuan City, entering one dark street after another, chasing all enemies they could see. At the same time, a large number of soldiers boarded the
Climb up the city wall, rush to both sides along the area where the South City Gate is located, and soon have less than half of Sichuan City under your control.
It was only at this moment that the general flag of the Chinese army slowly entered the city. Under the general flag with the capital "Li", a middle-aged man wearing heavy armor was protected by more than a hundred soldiers like stars holding the moon in his arms.
It was Li Mu, the general whom Luochuan had not seen for a long time.
Li Mu entered the city gate and turned around to climb up the city tower. He stood by the city wall, holding on to the wall with one hand and looking at the Xuanwu flying boat in the distance that was not too high. In the golden light of the dragon head, there were two radiant figures.
The figures seem to be still confronting each other.
"Lord General Pi," a man wearing captain's armor ran up from the city, saluted Li Mu and said quickly, "each thousand-man team of the First Army has secured the predetermined location, and there are not many defenders in the city.
They are all being driven towards the east city gate, do you want to continue the pursuit?!"
Li Mu retracted his gaze from the Xuanwu Flying Boat and turned towards the west city gate, "Don't worry, wait until General He Bi's men occupy half of the North City. It's still a little early."
The captain hesitated to speak.
Li Mu did not look back, but seemed to have seen his heart, "The strategy for Sichuan City this time was personally decided by the prefect and the county lieutenant. I guarantee that you will not be short of military merits that are due to you. Don't even think about asking for more of the military merits that are not yours."
......Understand?"
"Understood!" The captain wiped the sweat from his forehead, saluted quickly, turned around and strode away.
Li Mu finally turned his head to the east, his eyes dark and unclear.
