Soon, the Zhen army advanced to only fifty steps away from Wancheng. At this time, Lei Zhen shouted loudly: "The whole army fires arrows!"
Phew—Following his order, a hail of arrows flew out from the top of Wancheng and fell directly towards the Zhenjun camp.
Thump, thump, thump!
The sound of arrows breaking armor and hitting shields resounded in the Zhenjun camp. Countless Zhenjun soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. However, people's arrows could not scare away the Zhenjun, but made the Zhenjun's charge even more fierce.
.
Not long after, the Zhen Army had advanced to the moat. People placed ladders across the moat to block the bridge. Then, the soldiers of Zhen Army ran across the ladders one by one and rushed to the bottom of the city.
The dense rain of arrows on the city continued. At the same time, the city-breaking crossbows, army-breaking crossbows and trebuchets in the city were all activated. Crossbow arrows and falling rocks hit the crowd of Zhenjun from time to time, causing Zhenjun soldiers to swarm into groups.
They fell, but one fell, and two rushed up from behind. When charging, the soldiers of Zhen were like wild beasts with red eyes. Even if there was a fire pit in front of them, they would jump in without hesitation.
Outside Wancheng, corpses littered the fields, and blood flowed into a river. The moat was full of floating corpses, and the river water had been dyed scarlet.
Zhenjun stepped on the corpses of his brothers and rushed to the gate of Wancheng City. Then, they set up ladders one after another, and Zhenjun soldiers used all their strength to climb up.
The new recruits of the Feng Army who went to the battlefield for the first time met the Zhen Army who fought extremely fiercely. It was more like a nightmare. Many people shot arrows until their hands softened, but the Zhen Army showed no signs of retreating. Watching the Zhen Army going crazy outside the city
They climbed up the ladder and roared like wild beasts. Some of the soldiers were so frightened that they backed away and did not dare to get close to the wall.
Another part of the Feng army had been driven half crazy by the Zhen army. They grabbed the rolling logs and rocks around them and threw them randomly outside the city without aiming. Such a defense could not withstand the Zhen army's charge.
After a while, Zhen soldiers rushed to the top of the city, swung their swords, and fought with the Feng army on the city.
When defending the city, the Feng Army could not withstand the Zhen Army. Now it became a close combat, and the Feng Army was even more invincible. On the section of the city wall that was breached, the Feng Army collapsed one after another, and more and more Zhen soldiers rushed forward.
He chased and slashed the defeated Feng soldiers while shouting.
Seeing that the Zhen soldiers were breaking through here, Lei Zhen roared angrily and dragged his halberd towards them. As soon as he passed through the crowd on his side, dozens of Zhen soldiers with red eyes rushed towards him. Lei Zhen shouted loudly and swung the Kaitian battle halberd.
, swept out.
Click! A halberd was swung out, and five Zhen soldiers were chopped in half. Then, Lei Zhen released the spirit chaos and wind, and the dozens of Zhen soldiers behind were cut into pieces by the spiritual blades flying in the sky.
Killing all the enemy troops in front of him, Lei Zhen did not stop for a moment and continued to charge forward. As he walked past, the Zhen soldiers who rushed up to the city wall screamed, and their broken limbs fell from the city head. At the same time, the city wall
A long line of scarlet blood mist also appeared.
Hundreds of Zhen soldiers who rushed to the city were almost killed by Lei Zhen alone. Looking at Lei Zhen, who was covered in blood and looked murderous, the soldiers of the Feng Army who had originally fled stopped one after another, and each one seemed to have been killed by someone.
He stood there as if he had tapped his acupuncture points.
Lei Zhen looked at the Fengjun people on the left and right, and shouted loudly: "Madam is on the city now, fighting side by side with us. The enemy is in front of us, and Madam, a woman, will not retreat. As a man, how can you escape without fighting?"
Are you worthy of being called "Fengren" in your body?"
All the wind troops were blushing and embarrassed by what Lei Zhen said. People were stunned for a moment, and then they shouted loudly and ran back to their respective positions. Some picked up their bows and arrows, and some carried rolling logs and stones, and attacked the enemy outside the city.
The army shoots and smashes fiercely. This is knowing one's shame and then being brave.
Just as Lei Zhen stabilized the situation here, another section of the city wall was breached by Zhen soldiers. Lei Zhen didn't even have time to stop and breathe, so he could only carry the Kaitian War Halberd and rush over at full speed for reinforcements.
Under the Zhen Army's extremely ferocious attack, the Feng Army's defense line was riddled with holes and loopholes. Lei Zhen stabilized this side, and was in chaos there. He stabilized that side, and was in chaos again. He was alone,
He was running around on the city wall, "putting out fires" everywhere, but no matter how powerful he was, he was only one person after all. The wind army was unable to use his strength, and even retreated timidly. How could one person with thunder and lightning alone be able to stop such a situation?
Numerous Zhenjun?
Less than half an hour into the battle, the Feng army's defense line was completely defeated. A large number of soldiers did not obey the command and fled down the city wall in fear. They retreated to the city walls. The Zhen army outside the city also took the opportunity to rush to the top of the city and looked around.
The long city wall was full of Zhen soldiers, and the remaining Feng soldiers were pitifully few. Even if some people did not escape and persisted in fighting, they were quickly cut down to the ground by the surrounding Zhen soldiers.
At this time, Zongyuan was sweating coldly on the city gate. No wonder the Zhen army felt like they were in an uninhabited land when they entered their own country. No wonder even the Chifeng army was defeated at the hands of the opponent. The Zhen army fought really fiercely, even the Pingyuan army
You may not be able to gain an advantage by confronting him head-on!
He swallowed, turned to Wu Mei and said urgently: "Madam, the Zhen army has broken through the city... we'd better run quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Wu Mei stood on the city gate and did not move. Her exquisite beauty was surprisingly calm at this time. She shook her head and said: "I can't escape. Once I escape, Wancheng will really be hopeless. Once Wancheng is lost,
Yancheng is not safe, even the capital has fallen, where can we escape to?"
"But madam..."
"No need to say any more." Wu Mei held the hilt of the sword at her waist and handed a dagger to Zong Yuan, saying: "If Huizhen's army attacks, I will fight with them. If I lose,
, you must kill me, I must not fall into the hands of Zhenren alive!"
"Madam..." Zong Yuan knelt down with tears streaming down his face, not daring to pick up Wu Mei's dagger.
Zong Yuan's impression of Wu Mei was not good in the past. It was not that Wu Mei had done anything excessive, but he simply didn't like her appearance. Wu Mei was too gorgeous, and I could admire her, but she was not suitable to be the king's wife.
Because it is too easy for the king to get lost in such beauty, which will bring disaster to the country and the people.
But Wu Mei at this moment made Zong Yuan admire him from the bottom of his heart. When life and death were at stake, he could be so calm and calm, and regard death as if he were at home. Even he could not do this.
Wu Mei would rather die than retreat, but actually she couldn't retreat now even if she wanted to. There were Zhenjun outside the city gate tower. The guards protecting Wu Mei gathered on the ground floor of the city gate tower, desperately resisting the enemy soldiers and generals outside.
The guards Wu Mei brought were all royal guards, the elite of the Pingyuan Army, with superior combat effectiveness. They killed batch after batch of Zhen Jun who rushed towards them. Outside the city gate tower, the corpses of Zhen Jun were piled up in piles.
The base is so high.
At this time, Lei Zhen was not far away from the city gate tower. He noticed that Wu Mei had not left and was still trapped in the city gate tower. He could not care about others and only wanted to rescue Wu Mei from the siege.
He marched hard towards the city gate tower. Every step he took, he had to kill dozens or even dozens of Zhen soldiers in front of him. Until now, Lei Zhen's physical strength was already exhausted, and the spiritual energy in his body was also severely depleted.
The spiritual armor is covered with cracks and scars.
Just as Lei Zhen was struggling to charge forward, a general of the Zhen Kingdom came forward. This man was burly, taller than anyone else, and carried a large battle ax in his hand. This general was no different.
, it is Xun Xiao.
Xun Xiao didn't know Lei Zhen, and just regarded him as an ordinary wind general. He rushed to Lei Zhen, rounded the sky ax, and struck down fiercely.
Lei Zhen was no longer able to block, so he dodged and passed the opponent's axe, and then stabbed him back with his hand.
Xun Xiao laughed out loud, sheathed his ax and struck it outward. Then, he stepped forward and struck Lei Zhen in the face with his fist.
Lei Zhen reacted quickly. He held the halberd with one hand, raised his other hand, and grabbed the opponent's wrist.
Xun Xiao laughed loudly, exerted all his strength, swung his arms outward, and shouted at the same time: "Get out!"
Buzz!
Lei Zhen's body was like a kite with its string broken. He was thrown out of the city wall by Xun Xiao and fell straight to the city. If Lei Zhen was at his peak, his strength would be about the same even if he was not as strong as Xun Xiao.
, but now, he really can't stop Xun Xiao's brute force.
thump!
Lei Zhen fell heavily to the ground in the city. The force was so strong that a human-sized dent was made on the ground. Upon seeing this, the Feng soldiers who had fled to the city swarmed up and helped Lei Zhen up with all their hands and feet, and asked:
"General Lei, how are you?" "General Lei, where are you injured?"
After a while, Lei Zhen regained his composure. Fortunately, he was protected by a spiritual armor, so this fall would not kill him. With the help of everyone, Lei Zhen stood up slowly and turned around to look.
Looking at the surrounding Feng Jun, he asked, "Why did you all come down from the city if you weren't on the city to defend yourself against the enemy?"
"General Lei, the Zhen Army is too powerful, we really can't resist it... General Lei, you... better take us and run away!"
When Lei Zhen heard this, he closed his eyes and said nothing for a long time.
After a long while, he felt that he had regained some strength, then he bent down, picked up his Open Sky Halberd, and asked gloomily: "Run? Where are you running? Our parents and family are behind us.
If we run away, who will protect them? Are we going to watch our relatives die tragically at the sword of Zhenren?"
When the soldiers of the Feng Army heard this, they all lowered their heads.
Lei Zhen gritted his teeth and continued: "For thousands of years in the Feng Kingdom, there have only been heroes who have sacrificed their lives to protect the country. They have never been greedy for life and afraid of death, and they have lived like rats! If you are afraid, get out now and run away far away.
Yes, Feng Jun doesn’t need you to wait. If there are any brothers with blood, follow me to the city and drive back the enemy!"
After saying that, Lei Zhen ignored everyone's reaction, dragged his halberd, ran to the steps, and rushed towards the city wall. The officers and soldiers of the Feng Army looked at each other, some of them lowered their heads, and some of them blushed, not knowing what to do.
After a while, a wind general stamped his foot hard, drew out his sword, and shouted: "I will fight with the Zhen thief!" As he spoke, he followed Lei Zhen.
Someone took the lead, and others responded immediately. The soldiers of the Feng Army who had no intention of fighting regained their fighting spirit. People took up their weapons and shouted loudly to launch a counterattack against the fallen city wall.
