Bailitu, who wanted to learn some skills from the Pingyuan Army, stretched his neck, poked his head, and looked at the Pingyuan Army parked on the hillside with confusion on his face. He subconsciously asked Xiao Muqing next to him: "General Xiao, are you noble?"
What are the brothers in the army doing? Why don't you leave?"
Xiao Muqing stared at the battlefield solemnly and said nothing.
What are the Pingyuan Army doing? They are setting up a formation. The heavy shield bearers in the army have already reached the front, and people are shouting: "Attention! It's coming, it's coming! Hold it, hold it quickly."
Before the shouting ended, there was a muffled "dong" sound. It turned out that a stone bullet rolling down the hillside hit the heavy shield of the Pingyuan Army. The bodies of the soldiers behind the shield were all shaken, but finally
He withstood the stone bullet rolling down the hillside.
"Send it this way! Don't go too fast, just go down little by little!" Soldier Feng pushed the stopped stone bullets to the back. In the middle of the Feng Army camp, it was more lively, and many Soldiers Feng were throwing fixed bullets.
Stone machine and city-breaking crossbow.
Due to the slope, the fixing of the trebuchet and city-breaking crossbow was much more difficult than on flat ground. It was necessary to use wooden piles and stones, which made the surrounding soldiers sweat profusely.
The Pingyuan Army finally secured the trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows, and then General Feng gave the order to continue the attack.
However, the Pingyuan Army's attack was not about the soldiers advancing forward, but about activating the trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows, and continuously firing stone bullets and crossbow arrows at the Red Dragon Altar.
There seemed to be an infinite number of stone bullets and crossbow arrows from the Pingyuan Army. Round after round, they kept throwing and ejecting, hitting the wall of Red Dragon Altar and causing it to explode in all directions. The arrow stacks were also filled with city-breaking crossbows.
of crossbow arrows.
Bailitu, who was watching the battle from the rear, nodded secretly. The Pingyuan Army was worthy of being called the Pingyuan Army. As expected, the battle was organized and planned. First, they used a large number of siege weapons to suppress the opponent. This way, the losses of their own soldiers' advance could be minimized.
It seemed that the Pingyuan Army would soon use its full strength to attack the city! Baili Tu mentally calculated the steps for the Pingyuan Army to attack the city.
However, the Pingyuan Army's attacks using trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows have not stopped, as if they will continue to attack forever. Stone bullets and crossbow arrows continue to fly out from the top of the Feng Army's camp, smashing them.
Towards the opposite city wall.
Under such a crazy attack by Feng Jun, no one could stand on the top of the Red Dragon Altar. The Mo Jun who defended the city ran down the city wall one after another and took shelter under the wall. In addition to the continuous loud noises of "Boom, Boom" in their ears,
No other sound could be heard after the sound, and the city wall against which my back was leaning could feel waves of tremors, as if the wall might collapse at any time.
At this time, even the originally confident defenders turned pale and shivered involuntarily. They had never experienced such a fierce siege.
The Pingyuan Army's siege weapons continued to fire regardless of 'ammunition', completely suppressing the defenders in the city. Bailitu's gloomy face softened a lot, and he showed a rare look of relief. He shook his head and sighed while giving Xiao Muqing a thumbs up.
, said: "The large-scale equipment of your army is extremely powerful, and it is really a weapon for siege!"
Xiao Muqing smiled indifferently and said: "It's just a few 'baubles', how can they fall into Brother Baili's eyes?"
"Huh?" Baili Tu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Xiao, don't say that. If our army could have such a sharp weapon, we must have captured the Red Dragon Altar long ago!"
Xiao Muqing raised his head and smiled, saying nothing more, but thinking secretly in his heart: Even if I give you these trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows, you still can't defeat the Red Dragon Altar! You will not leave any backhand on your own side, and will attack the entire army at once.
Even after all the stone bullets and crossbow arrows were fired, the city wall of Red Dragon Altar remained standing without any damage, showing how strong the city defense was. Under such city defense, the role of trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows was
It is very limited and has no other effect except temporarily suppressing the defenders.
Of course, the "ammunition" of the Pingyuan Army is not unlimited. Under the high-density attack, all the stone bullets and crossbow arrows in the army were shot within half an hour. Then, the shouts in the Pingyuan Army camp sounded again.
, people released all the trebuchets and army-breaking crossbows that had been fixed just now, and then, the rear army turned into the front army, with the heavy shield bearers at the rear, and the whole army retreated.
Baili Tu couldn't believe his eyes. The Feng army that had been attacking the city crazily just now, after using their trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows, did not even touch the defenders with a knife or a shot, not even an arrow.
You haven't even ejaculated yet, so you just withdrew?
He was dumbfounded and asked stammeringly: "Brother Xiao, why did your army withdraw?"
Xiao Muqing smiled and said: "Our army's stone bullets and crossbow arrows have been exhausted. Next, it's time for the Jade Army brothers to go into battle!"
"What?"
"Don't worry! Under the continuous attack by our army, the city defense of Chilongtan is already crumbling and vulnerable. Brothers Yujun will definitely win easily when they go into battle this time!" Xiao Muqing said shamelessly.
When Baili Tu heard this, his nose was almost crooked with anger. He dared the Feng army to fight, just use trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows, and then everything would be fine. To actually attack the city, you have to use your own soldiers! How can there be such shamelessness in the world?
people?
His face suddenly darkened and he said coldly: "Isn't it too perfunctory for your army to attack the city like this? Is this the sincerity of the alliance between the two countries?"
Xiao Muqing rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Our army has come a long way, and it is inevitable that it will not adapt to the climate. Most of the officers and soldiers in the army fell ill. Brother Baili also saw that our army only has 50,000 soldiers who can go into battle. We are really unable to attack by force. This time,
I can only show more respect to my brothers in the Jade Army."
In fact, he could also tell Bailitu the truth. His troops were divided into two groups, and the other 50,000 soldiers were preparing to sneak into the city through a secret passage. However, he was worried about two things. First, he was afraid that the news would leak out, and he could ensure that his Pingyuan army would
There would be no spies in the Mo Army, but whether there were any in the Yu Army was beyond his control. Secondly, and most importantly, he was afraid that if he told Bailitu the truth, the latter would have reservations.
If he continued to attack the city with all his strength, or even stopped the siege, without the attraction of the Jade Army, it would be easy for his secrets to sneak in and fall short. If he did not use all his strength, it would be easier to arouse the suspicion of the defenders. For these two considerations, he deliberately
Without telling Baili Tu, he even made up a ridiculous and ridiculous excuse like casting a spell to summon heavenly soldiers and generals.
Bailitu didn't know the inside story, but felt that Xiao Muqing deliberately retained the strength of the Pingyuan Army and let his own soldiers serve as cannon fodder, and was extremely dissatisfied.
He chuckled and said, "Didn't Brother Xiao cast a spell to attract the help of heavenly soldiers and generals? Then we can wait until midnight to attack the city."
"Absolutely not." Xiao Muqing suppressed his smile and said seriously: "If the heavenly soldiers and generals see that we are not trying our best to attack the city, I am afraid they will not come down to help. Therefore, our attack must not stop! Brother Baili
Don’t worry, as long as our offensive can last until the end of time, the heavenly soldiers and generals will definitely appear. By then, there will be chaos in the Red Dragon Mandala, and we can easily break it!"
"At the end of the day?" Bailitu sneered and asked, "What if no heavenly soldiers or generals appear by then?"
"Then I will cut off my own head and offer it to Brother Baili!"
Bailitu took a breath. Xiao Muqing's promise was quite serious. How could he be so sure? Is it true that there are heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals? He narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "There is no such thing as joking in the army!"
Xiao Muqing smiled and said: "What I just said can be used as a military order from me!"
He had finished talking to this extent, and Bailitu had nothing more to say.
He stared at Xiao Muqing for a moment, nodded, and shouted loudly to the messenger beside him: "Inform me, general, that the whole army will attack the city. We will not withdraw our troops until midnight. If anyone retreats from the battle, kill him! If you are afraid, do not go ahead.
,kill!"
It was the first time that the commander had issued such a strict military order. The ordering soldier trembled with fright and hurriedly stepped in and responded: "Yes! General!" As he spoke, the ordering soldier urged his horse to go towards the Jade Army camp.
Looking at the back of the messenger, Bailitu raised his head and glanced at Xiao Muqing from the corner of his eye. He had issued such a strict military order. If you don't see the heavenly soldiers and generals when you arrive, how will you behave today?
Even if I don’t kill you, I still have to peel off a layer of your skin and kill you to show off your majesty!
Under Bailitu's military order, the Jade Army's attack began again. He had already said ugly things in front of him. Those who retreated from the battle and those who were afraid would be killed without mercy. How could the Jade Army's soldiers dare to neglect them? When advancing, they launched
He rushed forward like crazy.
A large-scale offensive began again between the two sides.
As time passed by, even with strict military orders, the Jade Army's offensive was still getting weaker and weaker. Seeing this, Xiao Muqing did not dare to hold back anymore. He passed on the order and ordered his own soldiers to join the battle and assist the Jade Army.
Attack the city together.
With the participation of soldiers from the Pingyuan Army, the situation in this critical battle has become more complicated and confusing. The Fengyu coalition's offensive has become stronger and stronger, while the defenders' persistence has become stronger and stronger.
As the patrol envoy to the northwest of Mo Country, Wei Bo was highly valued by Shao Fang and even planned to kill Lu She. He was quite talented and learned. He was not only good at plotting, but even when he united the army to fight, he was also outstanding.
place.
Under his leadership, Red Dragon Altar has become a monolith. The geographical advantage and the solid city defense are only one aspect. The most important thing is that the defenders are tenacious and the battle is methodical. The entire army is divided into several waves and takes turns to mount the city wall to resist.
In this way, the enemy's troops will suffer even casualties, so that a certain regiment will not be directly wiped out, thus affecting the fighting spirit of the entire army. Moreover, the defenders can always maintain strong combat power, giving them the opportunity to attack the city.
The enemy attacked head on.
It can be said that it is almost impossible to attack such a Red Dragon Altar from the outside, but Wei Bo never dreamed that behind him, the Red Dragon Altar's natural barrier, Chilong Mountain, would leak a big hole.
The officers and soldiers of the Pingyuan Army were sneaking into the city silently and continuously from the cave halfway up the mountain.
