Chapter 39 Meritorious Service(1/2)
The night in Pingcheng is as dark as ink.
The bonfire was burning loudly, bringing some warmth to the deep winter.
The weather is gradually warming up, but at night it is still very cold.
It was midnight after Cao Su's team took charge of duty.
Several people were breathing in the air-conditioning and observing the enemy's movements among the walls.
"Damn it, it's too cold today."
Team leader Zhao Xi stamped his feet there and chatted with several soldiers in the team.
"We were so unlucky that we were placed in the queue at the end of the night."
"The Wanping sect probably wouldn't steal the city at night. It's so cold that I can't even use my hands and feet."
Cao Su also looked into the distance of the night.
He had three breakthroughs in energy and blood, and his eyesight was better than ordinary people, but he couldn't really see what the enemy camp looked like in the dark.
Night raids are indeed extremely difficult.
But this world is different. On top of Qi and Blood warriors, there are also Strength realm warriors.
It can no longer be viewed with common sense.
He did not dare to be careless at all. Defending the city meant safeguarding his own life.
Just watch quietly...
A few hours later.
Its daybreak.
The Wanping Army changed the time of today's siege to early morning.
Different from yesterday's tentative siege, today's siege was a direct attack on three sides, leaving only the north without siege.
Among the rebels on the wall, a Qi-blood warrior appeared for the first time.
And there were dozens of Qi-blood warriors as soon as they arrived.
On the section of the city wall guarded by Cao Su, when the Qi-blood warrior rushed up, the archer couldn't avoid it and was cut into two pieces by him with his sword.
The blood of the archers was sprinkled on the walls.
Cao Su dropped his wooden shield and struck with his sword.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing Cao Su's tender face, the Qi-blood warrior roared and slashed vertically with his long sword.
On the battlefield, when encountering each other on a narrow road, the brave one wins.
When facing an enemy, momentum is very important.
Cao Su didn't expect this man to be so brave, so he failed in the first step.
Fortunately, he was quick and able to dodge sideways.
The sharp long knife struck from in front of him, and the icy cold air almost rushed to his face.
Although this person is a Qi-blood warrior, he has more than enough courage.
But the flexibility is slightly insufficient.
The second move after the long sword slashes down is a very easy-to-predict move that sweeps through thousands of troops.
Cao Su's whole body changed.
Instead of retreating, he advanced directly and directly entered the area around this person.
The man didn't expect Cao Su to be so fierce, and his expression changed.
Not even trying to hide, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
In close combat, Cao Suning punched out.
The iron fist was fierce and the timing of the punch was just right so that he could not avoid it.
He didn't even have time to raise his hands to block.
He adopts a life-threatening fighting style, regardless of the middle goal, and directly strikes with the knife in his hand.
As long as he withstands one punch, he can split Cao Su into two pieces.
boom!
The iron fist hit his breastplate, and Cao Su struck with all his strength.
The terrifying power directly destroyed his breastplate and knocked his entire body away.
The man was flying in the air, his sternum was broken, and a cloud of blood mist exploded.
After a scream, he lost his breath.
It fell freely in the air and fell under the city.
After twitching twice.
Then there was no more movement.
The soldiers on the city wall were stunned.
This Qi-blood warrior is extremely ferocious and will kill anyone he sees.
As a result, when he met Cao Su, he was knocked off the city wall with one punch by Cao Su without even using a single move.
"Lord Cao is mighty!"
On the battlefield, this kind of behavior greatly boosts morale.
Zhao Xi was the first to yell out, his face turned red.
"Lord Cao is mighty!"
Other soldiers also shouted.
This section of the city wall greatly increased morale.
Everyone worked together to drive the Wanping army off the city wall again.
At this time, after several hours of fierce fighting, the enemy's camp heard the sound of gold ringing again.
The remaining Qi-blood warriors on the city wall retreated.
The Pingcheng Prefecture troops cheered in unison.
Celebrate repelling the enemy attack again.
This is the second day.
Wan Ping's army didn't seem to be in a hurry to capture Pingcheng in one fell swoop.
Normally, the probability of a successful siege is not very high.
Siege battles lasting several months were the norm.
Pingcheng is not a big city, but it has strong walls, thick walls, sufficient supplies, and can withstand long-term consumption.
On this day, the Wanping Army lost more than a dozen Qi-blood warriors and more than 400 ordinary soldiers.
After Qi-blood warriors attacked the city, the casualty rate of ordinary soldiers dropped significantly.
On the Pingcheng side, dozens of government soldiers died.
On this day, the death rate of the government troops was much higher than the day before.
The death toll ratio between the two sides was approximately one to ten.
Those who attacked the city suffered even worse deaths.
However, the base of the Wanping Army is very large and can be easily consumed.
If the government army loses dozens of soldiers every day, more than half of them will be killed in a month.
Once the casualties exceed half, the morale of the army will drop significantly.
Collapse may be just around the corner.
So Wei Tao and others felt the pressure.
There are experts in Wanping's army.
The siege army formations were organized and the siege strategy was appropriate.
……….
……….
"Who killed the Qi-blood warrior?"
After we got off the city wall, the disciples in the martial arts hall were all talking about it.
To be continued...
