Deshan gave a death order to attack by force, and the monks and soldiers of Zhenguo Temple swarmed around like crazy.
Iron kites shot waves of arrows at the bottom of the city into the city. The monk soldiers leaned their ladders against the city wall and climbed up with their shields.
The siege engines slowly pushed forward, attacking one after another, and there were already mountains of corpses under the city.
The Long family army on the city was not having a good time either. Arrows rained down like rain, and corpses were piled on the city walls. The soldiers who were hit by arrows had no one to rescue them, and they were all busy fighting back the monk soldiers who climbed up.
Stones and wood were smashed down, and the bare head was smashed. The monk soldiers screamed, but the next wave of monk soldiers climbed up again.
The spear kept stabbing, the tip of the spear was covered with blood, the blood on the red tassel solidified together, and the barrel of the spear turned dark red.
The big knife slashed wildly, and the blade curled up after cutting.
"Brothers! Hold on!"
The face of the city guard general Cao Fangqi was stained with blood, and there was a gap in his hand with the sword in his hand. There were still several broken arrows hanging on his armor.
"General Cao, their attack is too fierce!"
The captain dragged his knife and squatted under the city wall.
His leg was hit by an arrow, blood seeped out from the wound, and his suit was soaked.
"Hold on! General Wu will provide reinforcements!"
Cao Fangqi shouted and split open another bald head with the big knife in his hand.
The captain looked at the Jade Buddha Pass and said helplessly: "More than 100,000 soldiers and horses are blocking the pass. General Wu may not be able to get out!"
The fighting was so brutal that the captain's fighting spirit was a little shaken.
Cao Fangqi said angrily: "Why are you panicking? As long as we survive for two days, King Wu will come and these bald donkeys will die a good death!"
Speaking of Long Chen, the captain's fighting spirit suddenly returned.
"Yes, it was the same last time! Hold on and wait until King Wu arrives!"
The captain got up and stabbed a monk soldier who climbed up with his spear.
Under the city, the monk soldier general Guang Xiang held a tiger-head sword and shouted: "Go up! Kill me!"
The monk soldiers kept climbing up and falling down again and again.
Guangxiang didn't care at all, staring at the city wall with his eyes like tigers and wolves.
Seeing the captain in the city stabbing the monk soldiers with a spear, Guangxiang hung up his tiger-headed sword, quietly picked up a bow, and shot a cold arrow at the captain.
call out!
The cold arrow shot up into the sky and hit the Long family military captain in the throat. The captain's body went limp and he fell from the city.
Cao Fangqi, the general guarding the city, saw that the captain had been hit by a cold arrow. He pointed at Guang Xiang who was shooting the cold arrow below the city and cursed: "I will definitely kill you!"
Guangxiang sneered and said: "When the city is destroyed, the Buddha will eat your flesh alive!"
Cao Fangqi was furious and immediately hacked several monk soldiers to death with his sword.
The siege was very brutal. By nightfall, more than 20,000 corpses were piled up under the city, and there were 10,000 casualties inside the city.
The Jade Buddha passes through the west gate of the city. The braziers and torches illuminate the city as bright as day. The cold moon in the sky is also extremely pale tonight.
The officers and soldiers of the Long family army were wearing armor and holding soldiers, and they were restless around the city gate.
Everyone is waiting for Wu Jian's order to go out and attack.
But after waiting for so long, Wu Jian didn't give the order.
"When will the war begin?"
"Hey, I've been holding in my breath all day!"
"My knife is blunt!"
When there was a lot of restlessness at the city gate, Long Chen was preparing for a night attack.
In the room, Long Chen put on his green dragon armor, a black long sword in his hand, and a small crossbow hanging on his waist.
Wu Jian tied the beef tendon ribbon for Long Chen's armor and brought the dragon's pocket.
"Major General, be careful. Deshan suffered a loss last time, so he must be prepared."
Long Chen said: "It doesn't matter if you are prepared, he has already been trapped."
Wu Jian nodded and said, "Yes, the young general thinks very far."
"I'll wait for the major general's signal at the west gate. When the time comes, I'll attack from both front and rear."
Long Chen patted Wu Jian and said, "Uncle Wu, don't worry, wait for my news!"
After saying that, Long Chen walked to the school grounds.
Ye Chang put on armor and led a thousand elite infantry in formation.
Everyone knew there was going to be a night attack, but they didn't know the plan of action.
"General Ye, when should we set off?"
Infantry Colonel Xue Ping was gearing up and wanted to go out and fight for a while.
"No hurry, wait!"
Ye Chang's tone was very cold, but he was actually very excited in his heart.
It is an honor to be able to follow Long Chen into Xixia tonight to fight.
"Still waiting? What are you waiting for?"
Xue Ping couldn't hold it any longer.
Ye Chang scolded: "Where do you come from with so many words!"
Xue Ping then smiled coquettishly and stopped talking.
At this time, Long Chen came over with Wu Jian and walked onto the general platform.
Ye Chang immediately paid his respects: "Meet King Wu!"
By the light of the fire, everyone was shocked to find that Long Chen was actually standing in front of them.
"King Wu!"
"General Dragon?"
"When did King Wu come?"
All the soldiers kept exclaiming, they couldn't believe that Long Chen had actually arrived.
Looking at the exclamations from the audience, Long Chen raised his right hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Brothers, Deshan Old Bald Donkey besieged the small town and thought we didn't dare to attack!"
"Tonight, if you follow me behind enemy lines, you only need to remember one sentence: Kill without mercy!"
The soldiers in the audience raised their arms and shouted: "Kill without mercy!"
After waiting for so long, everyone's hearts were so excited that Long Chen arrived.
Long Chen glanced at the audience and said: "Let's go!"
After saying that, Long Chen was in front, and Ye Chang led a thousand elite soldiers and followed Long Chen out of the north gate of Jade Buddha Pass.
After Long Chen left, Wu Jian immediately rushed to the west city gate.
When everyone saw Wu Jian coming, they thought they could start fighting outside the border.
"General Wu, give the order!"
The soldiers shouted excitedly.
Wu Jian said: "Don't worry, wait for my order!"
Wu Jian stood at the city gate, waiting for Long Chen's signal.
...
Long Chen led a thousand elite soldiers out of the north gate and walked all the way north.
Ye Chang led others to follow behind him.
With the moonlight, everyone could barely see the road clearly.
Xue Ping asked in a low voice: "General Ye, where is King Wu taking us?"
Ye Chang whispered: "Don't ask, just follow me!"
Long Chen walked north for several miles, and Ye Chang felt strange in his heart.
Could it be that Long Chen wants to take a detour from the north and enter Xixia?
Last time, Long Chen left like this, and Xixia suffered a loss.
Now that road has been blocked and guarded by soldiers, making it impossible to pass.
Long Chen was walking at the front. When he reached a cliff, Long Chen stopped.
"King Wu, do you want to go down from here?"
Ye Chang stood on the edge of the cliff and asked in surprise.
This is a cliff, as Ye Chang and most of the soldiers know, it is tens of meters high.
Long Chen said: "There is a tomb over there. Break open the tomb door, take out the things, and go down from here."
Ye Chang was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the tomb in the distance.
This tomb is built on a hill, and the tombstone looks very old.
"Dig someone's grave?"
Colonel Xue Ping muttered.
It's unethical to dig someone's grave. Such a thing...
Long Chen said: "I built that tomb. There are no bones. It's just some ropes. Bring them all."
Ye Chang immediately asked someone to break open the tomb door. There were a lot of hemp ropes, long steel nails and hammers inside.
After taking out the things, Ye Chang asked in surprise: "When did King Wu prepare it?"
Long Chen said: "It was prepared last year. Drill the nails, tie the hemp rope, and go down from here!"
The climate near Jade Buddha Pass is dry, and the hemp rope will not decay even if it is placed in the cave.
The soldiers immediately drove thick and long iron nails into the piles and tied hemp ropes to the iron piles.
Long Chen grabbed the hemp rope and said, "I'll go down first!"
