Now that we have finally reached Xibaicheng, we are only one step away from Yancheng. If we withdraw our troops at this time, we will not only fail in our success, but also greatly damage our morale.
Qiu Zhense said: "My lord, we must not retreat now. Food and grass are not a problem. As long as we capture Xibai City, the food and grass in the city will definitely be used by our army." After a pause, he added: "Geng Qiang is in Xibai City.
After planning for so long, there must be a lot of food and grass in the city."
Tang Yin held Shuai An with both hands, leaned forward and said, "Even if there are mountains of gold and silver in the West Hundred City, we still have to break in to get the things."
Qiu Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "Our army's food and grass are enough for one month. We only need to invade Xibai City within one month, so there is no need to rush, sir!"
Before Tang Yin could answer, Zong Yuan said: "We have to be anxious now! If our army cannot attack Xibai City for a long time, morale is low, and the soldiers are tired, I think Zhong Tian of Yancheng will no longer sit idly by.
It makes sense, if Yancheng suddenly sends troops to attack our army and cooperates with the enemy forces in Xibai City, the situation of our army will be worrying!"
Oh... This is something Qiu Zhen didn't expect. After carefully considering Zong Yuan's words, it's not unreasonable. Although Zhong Tian may not have such a strategic vision, Zhan Wushuang certainly does. If it's like Zong Yuan said, by the time
Tian joined forces with 200,000 Ning troops to attack, and his own army's advantage turned into a disadvantage.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and nodded slowly with a solemn expression.
Tang Yin looked at Zong Yuan. He knew that Zong Yuan was cunning, especially his ability to adapt to battlefield situations. He asked: "Mr. Zong Yuan, in your opinion, how should our army break the city?"
Zong Yuan rolled his eyes and said faintly: "We should... use the night attack strategy again!"
When Tang Yin heard this, he smiled bitterly. The last time he attacked Jicheng, he used night attack tactics. Although it was successful in the end, the leader of the Dark Arrow, Cheng Jin, was also seriously injured, and five of the Dark Arrow personnel were lost. Now they use night attack again.
Who is the right person to send? And there are lessons learned from the past, so Xibaicheng will not be unprepared.
He slowly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work this time!"
"But we might as well give it a try!" Zong Yuan said: "Our army must not give the enemy troops in the city time to rest. Even if we do not attack the city in large numbers at night, continuous harassment is still necessary. Your Excellency, you can send people out to harass.
At the same time, we will send people to look for opportunities to sneak into the city. Even if the city gate cannot be opened, they can still check the enemy's defense situation, which will be beneficial to our army's deployment when attacking the city during the day!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, feeling that what Zong Yuan said was reasonable. He then looked around at the generals present and asked, "Who wants to lead troops to harass the enemy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Guang stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "My lord, I will go there in the end!"
Tang Yin glanced at Wu Guang, nodded and said: "Okay! Wu Guang, I will lead three thousand brothers to harass the enemy from the north of the city!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Wu Guang bowed to receive the order.
Tang Yin asked again: "Who is willing to sneak into the city and investigate the enemy's situation?"
This time, no one present asked for help.
The generals are basically light-type spiritual cultivators. It is okay for them to charge in front of the two armies, but they are not suitable for latent operations. They are afraid that they will be discovered by enemy sentries before they even get close to the city wall. There is no one around.
After speaking, Jiang Mo, who was the deputy commander of the Dark Arrow, took a step forward and said, "Sir, I am willing to go!"
It was his words that Tang Yin was waiting for. As a dark spiritual cultivator, he understood better than anyone else that only dark spiritual cultivators were the most suitable for lurking. Now that Cheng Jin was away, the task of night attack and detection could only be left to Jiang Mo.
Do it.
He nodded, but warned uneasily: "Jiang Mo, General Wu Guang is harassing you in the north of the city. You can look for opportunities to sneak into the city from the south of the city. Remember, go in if you can. If the enemy finds out or notices something is wrong,
Withdraw immediately, don’t force it!”
"I understand!" Jiang Mo took the order with his hands raised.
Tang Yin made arrangements. While sending people to conduct night harassment, which played a role in attacking the east and attacking the west, he also sent hidden arrows to sneak into the west hundred cities secretly.
According to Tang Yin's wishes, Wu Guang led 3,000 Tianyuan Army soldiers out of the North Camp and headed straight for Xibai City. When he was almost within range of the enemy, he ordered the entire army to stop advancing, then he put on his spiritual armor and put the sword in his hand.
The Yanyue Sword was transformed into a spirit, and he urged his horse forward, shouting loudly in front of the two armies, asking General Peng to come out of the city to fight with him.
Seeing the Tianyuan Army making another move, the Peng Army stationed in the North City became nervous. The soldiers all climbed up the city wall, bent their bows and arrows, and stood ready. No matter how unpleasant Wu Guang's shouts and shouts were, the generals in the Peng Army just closed their doors.
After shouting for a while, Wu Guang was tired and immediately asked his soldiers to scold the formation.
The soldiers of Tianyuan were not as polite and reserved as Wu Guang in their shouting. They scolded and scolded all kinds of things. They almost all greeted the eight generations of Peng Jun and Peng generals on the top of the city.
These three thousand soldiers formed a long line in front of the city. They all held back their strength, blushed and cursed loudly. Some of them even poured dozens of buckets of water and put them in the crowd. If they got tired of scolding, they would drink.
Now, you can just take a ladle of water to moisten your throat and continue scolding, as if you won't stop that night until you scold the other person out of the city.
But anyone with a bit of blood will not be able to bear hearing such insults when they see this scene.
Sure enough, a Peng general couldn't stand the scolding of Tianyuan's army, so he ordered the city gate to be opened, rushed out, and rode his horse straight towards Wu Guang.
Seeing a general coming out of the city, Wu Guang smiled and shouted: "The general will be named!"
The general was filled with anger and momentum. He rode his horse up to Wu Guang and shouted, "Ask the King of Hell!" As he spoke, he shook his hand and shot Wu Guang directly in the throat.
Wu Guang turned sideways, dodged the opponent's sharp edge, and then returned with a knife, slashing the head of the Peng General. The man was quite tough, and he took the spear horizontally, and there was a crisp sound in the helix. Although the Peng General caught Wu Guang forcefully,
With one strike, both arms were sore from the shock, and the spiritual armor at the tiger's mouth was almost shattered.
He shook his horse several times in succession before he managed to stabilize his body and screamed fiercely in his heart.
The two horses were intertwined, and Peng Jiang suddenly turned back and stabbed Wu Guang in the back with a carbine. Wu Guang reacted very quickly, lowered his body, and with a hiss, the opponent's spear passed over his head. Half a round later
, both of them had some understanding of each other's strength, and when they urged their horses to fight, they each used their full strength.
Before the opponent could reach him, Wu Guang took the lead and launched an attack. The spirit chaos wind was released, and he saw the spirit blades all over the sky, hanging in the strong wind, shooting towards General Peng. When the latter saw this, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly used all his strength, and also
Released the spiritual chaos wind to resist Wu Guang's killing move. The spiritual chaos wind released by the two people came into contact, and the spiritual blades and spiritual blades staggered and collided with each other in the air, and the muffled sound of bang bang was endless.
This is a tit-for-tat confrontation, and there is no room for trickery. Whoever has higher cultivation will have the upper hand.
Soon, the spiritual chaos and wind released by Peng Jiang were suppressed by Wu Guang's spiritual chaos and wind, and disappeared. However, the remaining spiritual blades continued to fly toward Peng Jiang without losing their force. Peng Jiang was shocked and turned pale.
, his body swung back and forth on his horse, dodging the spiritual blade, but at this moment, Wu Guang rushed towards him with lightning speed, stabbed forward with the knife in his hand, and hit the Peng General's chest.
This sword was too fast. Not to mention that General Peng was dodging the spirit blade of Ling Luan? Feng. Even with a high degree of concentration, he might not be able to dodge Wu Guang's sharp sword with all his strength.
Phew!
The blade stabbed firmly into General Peng's chest, the spiritual armor shattered, and the blade poked out directly from the back of his heart.
"ah--"
General Ning let out a heart-breaking scream, Wu Guang withdrew his spiritual sword, and then slashed with his backhand. With a bang, General Peng's head was violently chopped to the ground. The headless body had fallen down, but his feet
Still hanging in the stirrups, the horse was frightened and ran away dragging the body.
Wu Guang shook off the blood on his spiritual knife, then pointed the blade at the city head and shouted: "Who else will fight with me?"
Wow - Peng Jun on the top of the city could clearly see that such a powerful general on his own side had his head chopped off after only two rounds in front of the enemy. This enemy general was too powerful! How could Peng Jun dare to go out of the city to fight?
He hurriedly closed the city gate. Wu Guang wanted to take the opportunity to rush forward, but as soon as he took two steps out, thousands of arrows fell from the top of the city. In desperation, he had no choice but to turn his horse back.
Wu Guang killed the enemy general in two rounds. The morale of the Tianyuan Army became stronger and the shouts and curses became louder. However, this time Peng Jun learned the lesson. No matter how they shouted and cursed, they just closed the city and did not come out, pretending to be deaf and dumb. Wu Guang's harassment
It had a certain effect, not only killing an impulsive Peng general, but also successfully attracting the attention of the Western Hundred City defenders to the north of the city.
However, Jiang Mo's night attack was far from smooth, and was discovered by Peng Jun before it was even carried out. Because of Mao An's past experience, Geng Qiang was also wary of the dark spiritual cultivators in Tianyuan Army.
The city wall is guarded by Peng generals at every other section, using the technique of insight to prevent night attacks by dark spiritual cultivators.
As soon as Jiang Mo and other hidden arrow personnel sneaked under the city wall to the south of Xibai, they were discovered by General Peng on the city. All of a sudden, the alarm bell rang loudly on top of the city, shouts were heard, arrows, sticks, rocks, and kerosene were all fired up.
After falling down, Jiang Mo and others did not even dare to rush upwards, but were directly pushed back. Thanks to their timely reaction, they used shadow drift to dodge out, otherwise it would be difficult to escape intact.
Jiang Mo led the secret arrow men and fled back. Tang Yin did not blame him. He had already expected such a result and did not have high hopes.
Then he sent 3,000 men and horses under the command of Zhan Hu from the west of the city to attack the enemy and continue to harass the Peng army. In the end, even trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows were used, and from time to time they smashed several huge rocks and shot out several logs.
Of course, it's best if you can kill the enemy. Even if you can't hurt the enemy, you still have to scare Peng Jun so that he won't have a chance to rest in peace.
The Tianyuan Army was struggling all night, and the Peng Army in Xibai City was also on tenterhooks all night. The next day, Tang Yin issued an order for the entire army to attack. Just like the previous day, the Pingyuan Army, the Chifeng Army, and the Directly Affiliated Army attacked the city from three sides.
