Wanping demons attacked the city, and the government army was in chaos.
On the city wall, the city has been plunged into the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.
Around Cao Su.
Five Qi-blood warriors from the Wanping Army wearing yellow armor besieged him.
Although Cao Su was besieged, he looked very dangerous.
But he didn't feel much pressure in it.
When the first person struck with a horizontal sword, he had sufficient reflexes to deal with this move.
Is this the power of Si Tu?
He calmly avoided the knife.
Then he turned around and dodged again, avoiding a spear thrust from behind.
The man was in the air, stretched out his hand and grabbed the spear right in front of him.
The warriors who made a sneak attack from behind never expected that Cao Su would dare to take the initiative.
In the blind spot of his vision, Cao Su suddenly exerted his strength.
Drag the spear forward and send it forward.
The face of the warrior who rushed forward changed, and he quickly dodged the spear.
But the warrior behind him held on too tightly.
Being pulled by Cao Su, his center of gravity was unsteady and he staggered forward.
Cao Su didn't look back at all.
Based on his understanding of Qi-blood warriors, this person should be within his attack range at this moment.
"Qiang!"
Lao Handao took advantage of the situation and turned.
The blade drew a wonderful arc in the air.
The latter was unable to avoid it, and the good guy's head flew up into the air.
The body still rushed forward a few steps without changing its inertia.
Blood spilled into the air and splashed all over Cao Su.
In a five-on-one siege, they were counterattacked, and several Qi-blood warriors instantly became red-eyed.
"kill!"
They aroused even greater ferocity and rushed towards Cao Su without fear of death.
Cao Su fought and retreated.
When he was about to retreat to the wall, he suddenly stepped on the wall.
The wall stacks were cracked by Cao Su's kick, and he used the reaction force to rush toward the four Qi-blood warriors like cannonballs.
The person in the lead had no time to react.
In the dilated pupils, only a cold light was seen.
"Boom!"
His stiff body fell to the ground.
His teammates who avenged him roared and slashed at Cao Su with their swords.
"clang!"
Cao Su retracted his long sword to block, but he couldn't avoid another person's flying kick.
Got kicked in the side.
The warrior thought that this kick would definitely knock Cao Su away.
Unexpectedly, a kick flew towards Cao Su, as if he had kicked a stone weighing several thousand kilograms.
Cao Su remained motionless, his center of gravity unchanged.
After killing two Qi-blood warriors, the opponent's siege situation was obviously much smaller, and his pressure suddenly decreased.
Actively deceive yourself into the warrior's attack range.
Raise your fist and blast out.
"puff!"
The warrior screamed and flew backwards out of the city wall.
After hitting the ground, he twitched twice and then stopped moving.
"Brothers, surround and kill this man!"
Cao Su was unparalleled in his ferocity on the battlefield. After killing several qi-blood warriors in succession, he attracted more qi-blood warriors to besiege him.
He jumped and slashed the remaining Qi-blood warrior to death with his cold sword.
During this period, the morale of the government troops soared.
"Cao Baifu is mighty!"
The sergeants under his command showed great courage and pushed back the enemy, which was several times their size, and knocked down two ladders.
As soon as the ladder collapsed, the overall momentum of the Wanping Army's siege was interrupted.
Hundreds of sergeants cheered, and their morale improved again.
............
Several miles away.
Outside the Wanping Army Camp.
Supervise the battle team, the rear army has not yet pressed forward.
The military structure of the Wanping Army is divided into three armies: the front, middle and rear.
Now, the central army of Wanping Army has also pressed forward, obviously using all its strength.
Cao Su's siege was the first to collapse.
Hu Rong, the commander of the Wanping Army, was surprised.
He said to the left and right: "Whose general is this, so brave?"
"There are indeed many talented people in the government army."
He had previously thought that Pingcheng would be like the cities he encountered earlier, fleeing and defeating the enemy with a light fight.
Unexpectedly, although Pingcheng was small, the defenders were very brave.
Moreover, all the imperial troops in the city were used by Wei Tao.
The service of the three armies is like a hard bone that cannot be easily chewed.
"Military advisor, is there any other way?"
The military advisor of the Wanping Army was a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest next to Hu Rong. He had a white face and a long beard, and from a distance he looked like a fairy with the bones of a crane.
If you look closely, you will see that there is no blood at all on his face.
The Taoist military advisor shook his head.
"Hu Shuai, activating such a large-scale [Vicious Elephant Ghost Curse] has already consumed too much of our mana."
"Currently, we have no way to break through the city. We can only hope that Pingcheng's supplies will run out, or that something will happen inside Pingcheng."
When Hu Rong heard this, he was very angry.
"A small, flat city actually held back my army of 100,000 men."
One hundred thousand troops is an imaginary number. Among the three main forces that captured Jiangning Mansion, Hu Rong was considered relatively strong.
Pingcheng is the bridgehead for the northwest advance to capture Jiangning Prefecture.
According to the plan of the Wanping Army, the entire Jiangning Mansion should be captured before the imperial encirclement and suppression army arrived.
In this way, we can use the three prefectures in Tongzhou as the rear, and mediate with the imperial army at Jiangning Prefecture, the place where the Fourth Battle was fought.
As a result, a month had passed, and Pingcheng showed no signs of being breached.
As for the other partial divisions, they have made considerable progress.
It is said that the fastest way is approaching the boundary of Jiangning Prefecture.
Pingcheng must be destroyed, this is his military order.
Hu Rong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Send my general's order and the Xunzi Battalion will attack!"
"Hu Shuai, no!"
Before the general left, a general immediately tried to persuade Hu Rong.
"Now that the Taoism has been broken, it is getting late, and the men are exhausted both physically and mentally. It is really not appropriate to take Pingcheng by force. We should withdraw our troops and fight another day."
Hu Rong rejected this suggestion.
"Straight mother-in-law! Every day I cry for gold, and the day changes every day. When will I be able to break the city?"
"Pass my general's order to kill!"
........
As Hu Rong's order came out.
The drums of Wanping's army were beating loudly, and another battalion flew out and headed straight for Pingcheng.
Hearing the drum and marching forward, the troops were raised and retreated.
Sergeant Wan Ping, who was on the battlefield, heard the sound of drums and had no choice but to brave countless flying arrows and rolling stones and move forward slowly.
Xun Ziying was extremely fast and rushed across the moat in the blink of an eye.
The defensive pressure on the south city wall instantly increased by several levels.
Not long after Cao Su had just boosted the morale of his centurions, he discovered that the "quality" of the enemy troops had improved by several levels.
Just when I was feeling a little strenuous, I suddenly heard someone shouting from the tower.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
What reinforcements?
The government troops in Pingcheng had been guarding Pingcheng for more than a month, and what they were most looking forward to hearing was this sentence.
Wei Tao had already said before that there were reinforcements in Pingcheng.
But he never made it clear where the reinforcements would come from.
The reinforcements came from the north, broke through the siege of the North City section, the weakest section of the Wanping Army, and appeared in front of Pingcheng.
Wanping's army surrounded three and one was missing.
The attacks from the east, west and south were very fierce, while the north was paddling.
Create a feeling for the people of Pingcheng that "it seems they can escape from the north" to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the people of Pingcheng.
North Road reinforcements march on the Wanping Army camp
"Brothers from Pingcheng, don't panic, the Lingzhou Prefecture Army is here to help!"
It's Lingzhou's government army!
This army of about three thousand people came from Lingzhou in the north and claimed to be the government army of Lingzhou.
After hearing this, all the sergeants in Pingcheng immediately felt a surge in morale.
Even Lingzhou came to support, and it was easy to defeat the rebels.
The Sanqianfu Army is a new force.
When the Xunzi Battalion of Wanping Army was about to rush to the city wall, they were like a shot in the arm, giving Pingcheng a life-extending halo.
"Whoosh!"
Cao Su on the wall waved his sword mercilessly.
Once again, he killed a yellow-armored Qi-blood warrior.
The entire city wall was cleared by him for the second time. The remaining ordinary warriors did not need him to take action at all, and his sergeants were enough to deal with it.
Because Cao Su attracted a lot of firepower by himself and shouldered a lot of defensive pressure, his centurion team's battle loss rate was extremely low.
After a brutal battle, only seven or eight people died, and dozens more were injured.
It is normal for soldiers to be injured.
Based on everyone's physical condition, if the injury is minor, you will be able to move around again in a few days.
"Victory?"
He put away his long knife and looked into the distance.
The Wanping Army seemed to be reluctant to withdraw its troops once again.
Compared with the previous temptation and consumption, this time the tens of thousands of troops almost pushed Pingcheng to the edge.
There were Taoist attacks, fierce attacks, and Xunzi camp attacks, which cost a lot.
Unexpectedly, Pingcheng's life should not be cut off.
Cao Su turned around and glanced at the "government army" coming from Lingzhou.
I found that these government troops were a little different from them.
Judging from their clothing, many of them were not fully armored, and they were holding different kinds of swords, guns and clubs. They looked more like a group of improvised militiamen.
This army...
It's not that Cao Su looked down on the reinforcements who had just helped a lot, but honest people were indeed more straightforward when speaking.
In his eyes, just look at the equipment.
The fighting strength of this government army is probably not as good as that of the Wanping Army who fought fiercely with them for several days.
Why did the "prefecture army known as three thousand" arrive?
The Xunzi Battalion of Wanping Army withdrew.
........
No matter how hard Hu Rong gets on top.
I also understand that the morale of Pingcheng is high today and it will be difficult to win.
"It's hard to level a city, but it's hard to level a city."
Hu Rong sighed, feeling helpless.
This nail was hammered in front of him, blocking Wan Pingjun's way to Jiangning Mansion.
"Shuai Hu, don't worry. My little uncle will arrive in the army tomorrow. His magic power is ten times better than mine. Next time he does what he does, he will call it a small Pingcheng and be annihilated."
At this time, the Taoist military advisor beside him laughed slyly.
After hearing this, Hu Rong was slightly shaken.
Some fighting spirit has been restored.
"I hope the great sages will protect me and help me win this city!"
