After ten days of siege, the once peaceful and prosperous city had long since left this large city in southern Xinjiang.
There were no crowds in sight on the empty streets. Most of the shops were closed. There were very few soldiers patrolling the streets. There were only a few ownerless stray dogs wandering around the garbage dumps looking for food.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and there was too much sadness, pain and numbness. Countless pieces of paper money were scattered on the ground and crushed into mud. I don't know whose house came from crying.
When Qin Yun returned to Huilong Temple, Miao Xiu was busy treating patients in the front yard of the Taoist Temple.
When he left Lingyang City and went to Shiwanda Mountain to search for the Wanzai Kong Bluestone, the Chu army used extremely despicable attack methods in order to quickly capture Lingyang City.
With the help of the black Miao priests of the Miao ethnic group, they used catapults to throw dead bodies contaminated with poisonous poison into the city, trying to create a large-scale plague in Lingyang City in order to weaken the fighting spirit of the soldiers and civilians defending the city.
Purpose.
At the beginning, the Chu army's methods were very effective. After being bitten by the poisonous poison, many guardsmen suffered from fever, vomiting, convulsions and even death. The plague also began to spread in the city.
If Huilongguan had not sent Taoists to distribute elixirs to control the poisonous poison, and Li Jin and Xu Jingye had taken various measures to prevent the spread of the plague, countless people would have died.
Despite this, both the Huilongguan Taoist priests and the army doctors were still helpless against certain special poisonous poisons. Priest Heimiao did not know what kind of poisonous poison he used to release it on the city wall, causing hundreds of guardsmen and warriors to succumb.
Move. In a short period of time, the whole body suffered from ulcers. Riri was in so much pain that she would rather die than die!
No matter how strong a person is, it is difficult to bear such torture. All those who have been poisoned hope that others will give them a sword to completely free themselves, but who can be so ruthless as to kill hundreds of comrades with their own hands? They can only be temporarily gathered together.
Living in a Taoist temple.
Fortunately, Qin Yun came back with Miao Xiu at this time.
Only Miao people who are good at releasing poisons know best how to get rid of poisonous poisons. Although Miao Xiu is not very old, as the beloved daughter of the leader of the Miaosu Village, she possesses the sacred object Gu Blood Jade Soul, so dealing with mere poisonous poisons is naturally not a problem.
.
After swallowing the potion she prepared, the expressions of the warriors who had been poisoned by the poison quickly relaxed, and they showed relaxed smiles for the first time, and the abscesses on their faces showed signs of healing.
Shui Shengnan and Shui Ying followed to help. The three girls had obviously become friends. Their gentleness and beauty infected everyone present, and even the painful moans of the sick and wounded became much softer.
Qin Yun had to admire Miao Haishan's foresight again. The latter seemed to have expected that there would be such trouble in Lingyang City, so he specially sent Miao Xiu here. In fact, it also reflected his secret support for Dayan against Lingyang.
Taking advantage of his free time to rest, Qin Yun took Miao Xiu aside and whispered: "Sister Miao Xiu, the situation in Lingyang City is very bad now. The Chu army is likely to launch a larger attack tomorrow. We may not
You can still hold it!"
"Once the city is defeated, please take Sister Katsuo and Sister Shuiying and leave first!"
With the carrying capacity of the giant eagle, it will definitely be no problem to carry three girls at the same time. Even the powerful Huagang warriors cannot intercept the spirit birds flying high in the sky. This escape route is enough to ensure their safety.
Miao Xiu bit her lip and asked, "Then what should you do?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "I will be fine. The swamp is so dangerous and I have already made it through it. If I just want to run away, no matter how many enemies there are, they will not be able to stop me. And I also know a few roads leading to the outside of the city."
The secret passage.”
Although he said that, Qin Yun was actually prepared to stick to it until the end. He would live or die with Lingyang City!
Miao Xiu's eyes showed uncontrollable concern, but after seeing so many life and death hardships, this girl matured and grew up at an alarming rate, and became much less willful.
"You must protect yourself. If something happens...I will never forgive you!"
The girl said, turned around and ran away, shedding a string of crystal tears.
Not far away, Shui Shengnan and Shui Ying immediately glared at Qin Yun, thinking that he had done something bad to Miao Xiu.
Qin Yun smiled bitterly, but the tenderest part of his heart was touched by Miao Xiu's tears.
He couldn't help but look through the door of the Taoist temple and look at the row upon row of buildings in Lingyang City.
Who knows what kind of tomorrow this empire’s southern fortress will usher in!
…
Woo! Woo! Woo!
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and loud horns sounded across the vast plains.
In the past ten days, the same horn has sounded many times. Each blowing of it represents the beginning of an attack by the Da Chu Feihu Legion, and also represents the hundreds of people who will follow.
Died in the ensuing battle!
But this time today, it was particularly different.
The cold wind from the north of the mainland blew the war flags, and all the Chinese troops stationed in the Chu army's camp stood up and moved forward. Countless flags moved with it, and the most eye-catching one was undoubtedly
It’s the handsome flag with the word “Wei” standing in the middle!
Everyone understands that it represents Wei Yue, the supreme commander of the Flying Tiger Legion.
This strong man in the Chu army finally lost his patience and led the army into battle himself!
Hundreds of ballistas, catapults, and siege engines mixed with tens of thousands of warriors slowly approached the southern wall of Lingyang City, like an irresistible black torrent, calm, firm, and powerful.
!
There was an indescribable atmosphere of chilling in the air.
Facing this terrifying torrent of iron armor, the guards guarding the southern city wall all changed their colors. Many of them showed expressions of fear, their hands holding weapons couldn't help but tremble, and some even slumped on the ground helplessly.
These soldiers were all temporary recruits. A day ago, they were all civilians in the city. They did not know martial arts or use weapons, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy. They could be said to be a mob.
But in order to fill the gap in the city wall's defense line, they had to stand on the city wall and face the elite Chu army. No one knew how many of them would be able to survive the coming battle.
"Hold your weapons and stand up, you are all soldiers now!" a Guards officer roared loudly: "Behind you is your home, your relatives and friends, if you give up the fight, you will be
They were sent to the enemy's butcher's knife, are you willing to do this?"
"If you are still men, then face the enemy bravely and kill the enemy!"
"Long live Dayan, may Lingyang be victorious!"
"Wan Sheng!"
His words inspired everyone's fighting spirit. Whether they were new soldiers or veterans, they all raised their weapons high and let out earth-shattering shouts.
Qin Yun stood on the only remaining tower behind the city wall, holding a Japanese bow in hand, looking down coldly at the approaching enemies in front of him, his dark eyes full of cold and murderous intent.
Beside his feet were neat rows of quivers, each black iron arrow glowing with a cold light.
After a night of recuperation, Qin Yun's internal and external injuries have basically recovered, and he is in the best condition to face this battle that will determine the life and death of Lingyang City and hundreds of thousands of people!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the Chu army's chariots advanced to a distance of seven or eight hundred steps from the city wall, the Guards' catapults deployed behind the city wall took the lead in launching an attack, throwing dozens of stone bombs and kerosene bombs.
It's just that this kind of attack was equivalent to more than ten days ago, and the momentum and power were much weaker. Most of the city guards' defensive equipment was damaged in the battle, and the powerful kerosene bombs were exhausted and irreparable. It was difficult to shake Chu.
The siege army of the army.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Chu army's catapults immediately launched a counterattack, and more stone bullets and kerosene bombs were thrown at the city wall. Many soldiers who could not dodge were smashed into meat paste or burned into burning objects.
Scenes like this have occurred many times inside and outside the city walls, and battles break out as usual!
Qin Yun breathed out a deep breath, raised his arm to pick up the sunrise bow, pulled out the string of the bow and fastened a black iron arrow.
He aimed at an enemy warrior who was rushing in front, and suddenly let go of his hand!
Whoosh!
The black iron arrow suddenly turned into a meteor, passing hundreds of steps in the blink of an eye, hitting the chest of the Chu warrior accurately and fiercely, penetrating the armor and nailing him directly to the ground.
Without blinking, Qin Yun drew his longbow again and fired at the enemy as fast as possible. The targets were all officers and warriors of the Chu army, and he shot them one by one in front of the city wall.
However, the warriors of the Chu army seemed to be going crazy. They ignored the casualties of their companions and were not afraid of the rain of arrows and stones. They kept approaching the city wall under the cover of their chariots.
boom!
A siege vehicle successfully hit the city wall. Although the supporting wooden frame was attacked by fire symbols and ignited a raging fire, countless soldiers scrambled to climb and jump onto the city wall, and fierce battles broke out with the soldiers defending the city.
Phew! Phew!
As the enemy's main force continued to approach, the tower where Qin Yun was located came under more and more intensive attacks. The Chu army obviously noticed his threat and mobilized dozens of ballistae vehicles to launch a coordinated attack on the tower.
Under such circumstances, Qin Yun had no choice but to abandon the dangerous tower, put away his sun bow and jumped back to the city wall, then spread out his body skills to pounce on the first city wall.
call out!
Before he fell to the ground, the Tianwen Sword in his hand brought out a sharp sword light, knocking down five or six Chu warriors who had just climbed up the city wall like cutting wheat stubble, and the enemy's bright red blood spurted out seven times.
Eight feet away!
More than a dozen Chu warriors immediately surrounded him. Their eyes were red and they roared in low voices. They waved their weapons like ferocious beasts that were enraged and rushed towards Qin Yun regardless of their own safety!
