Heavy rain fell on the northwest. This was the first rain of the year. This rain was very heavy and covered most of the northwest.
The water mist filled the air, and the scouts from Jiuyuan City issued warnings to major counties and cities in the south. Jiuyuan was not very close to Tonghe County, nor was it very far. If Tonghe County was captured by Xiliang, they would need to send a large number of
The troops were on guard against the Xiliang army, and Luo Tiansheng knew that the palace had been dormant.
If the Xiliang City army cannot be suppressed, the palace will definitely stab him in the back.
He had to pacify Xiliang City in the shortest time. The speed of the scouts was very fast. On the fifth day after the Xiliang City army was dispatched, the invasion of Xiliang Army had already spread out.
In a dense forest, rain fell on the Xiliang soldiers, black clouds stood on the branches, and an enemy force was advancing quickly in the distance.
There is a city about twenty miles away from this place, Black City in Tonghe County, and the troops coming out of Black City are the Black City troops.
This was the force heading to Qingye City for support. After Heiyun learned that the other party was about to send reinforcements, he thought of setting up an ambush for the Black City army outside.
At this time, their seventh legion troops, Black Dragon, Cheng Zheng and others were in the dark, while the main army led by the Lord was in the open.
The Xiliang army in the open attacked Qingye City to attract the enemy's attention. He believed that not only troops from Heicheng would go to Qingye City, but also several other cities would send large armies to support them.
That was their hope, that they could ambush these troops on the road.
Heiyun thought about the troops of Heicheng entering the ambush circle in the distance. Heicheng is a rare mountain city, and Jiuyuan County is not the wilderness outside. There are lush woods here and these very beautiful rivers and mountains.
The Black City troops were silent in the heavy rain. The military situation was urgent. Even if it snowed heavily, they had to rush forward. This was beyond their control.
As Black City soldiers, the Black City soldiers who have been fighting against some ferocious beasts, wild beasts, and monsters in the wilderness all year round are not weak in combat effectiveness.
This time Black City sent a full force of 4,000 troops, which was close to Black City's total strength.
After capturing these four thousand troops, they then attacked the black city with a three-foot-high wall.
The Black City soldiers seemed very quiet except for the sound of splashing water. After receiving the news from Jiuyuan City, they immediately gathered their troops and set off. In order to arrive early, they did not bring too many supplies and went into battle lightly.
They are somewhat looking forward to fighting against the Xiliang City army. There are rumors that the Xiliang City army can fight against the Great Wall Army.
These soldiers did not notice the eyes of the surrounding forest looking at them. All kinds of bows and arrows were lowered, and they only needed to be raised to aim at them.
When Heiyun saw these people approaching, he looked back. There should be some masters in the Black City troops. These people are very sensitive to murderous auras and gazes.
The soldiers of the Seventh Legion were very patient and did not rush. Instead, they waited for the reinforcements to pull the long team to their ambush circle.
"kill!"
As the black clouds fell with an order, the long arrows in the hands of the archers and crossbowmen shot out. The arrow feathers and crossbow bolts penetrated the rain and penetrated into the soldiers of the black city. Blood flowers scattered out, dyeing the ground red.
Luo Mu and Aza, two veterans of the Seventh Legion of Xiliang, rushed out immediately. Their two men were also the two sharpest knives in the Seventh Legion.
Luo Mu was originally a disciple of the Demonic Way, and his soldiers were almost all disciples of the same sect. His favorite thing was chaotic fighting. They couldn't beat Lou Fanren in a regular battle formation, but they were the best among the Seventh Legion in chaotic fighting.
Luo Mu rushed into the enemy group, and a big sword brought out bursts of cold light. As the rain fell, the Black City soldiers fell one after another. Luo Mu's soldiers were in chaos. They learned one thing from the Xiliang soldiers, that is, when
To form a numerical advantage over the enemy on the battlefield, several people must work together to kill an enemy.
Aza's side fought steadily, with sword and shield soldiers inserting into the battlefield, and spear soldiers holding the sides steady, and eating away at the enemy bit by bit.
It took 10,000 troops half a day to capture all the reinforcements sent by Black City. The ground was covered with blood and corpses.
In the rain, some of the Xiliang soldiers put on the clothes of these people, while others pretended to chase them.
At the end of the army were the war weapons of the Shenji Battalion.
After the army was sent out, the gates of Heicheng were closed tightly, and Qingye City was attacked. They were far away from Qingye City, but there was no guarantee that Xiliang troops would come over at any time.
"kill!"
"Run, run!"
The soldier on duty on the city gate tower heard the sound coming from far away. He raised his head and looked forward, and saw two troops entangled in the mist, one running and the other chasing.
The soldiers being hunted were dressed like their Black City troops!
Boom, boom, boom!
The soldiers rang the bell without hesitation, and quickly ran to the two or three hundred Black City soldiers at the city gate, with faces filled with joy for the rest of their lives: "Sir, open the door, we have been ambushed, an ambush from Xiliang City!"
These soldiers shouted and got closer to the city wall. Because there was no moat, a large number of sharp bamboos were placed at the bottom of the city wall. These bamboos faced the outside. Anyone who dared to get close would be pierced by these bamboos.
These soldiers lowered their bodies and had ropes wrapped around their waists. At the head of the rope was a triangular underhook.
"Which part are you..." A man on the city wall who looked like a squad leader stuck his head out and asked loudly. A sharp barb came up from the bottom and hit the man's forehead. The iron hook passed through the skull and the bottom
The soldier pulled down with his backhand and pulled down a corpse.
The other soldiers' hooks had already caught the city wall, and the soldiers rushed to the city wall like monkeys.
Several soldiers who had witnessed the tragic death of the captain struck the bronze bell next to them. The loud sound was heard by the soldiers in the black city. Something was wrong, otherwise the bell would not have kept ringing.
Xiliang soldiers rushed to the city wall. There were already more than a hundred defenders on this wall. When they saw the Xiliang troops coming to the top, these soldiers rushed over.
Click, click, click!
The ropes were hooked up to the city wall. The Xiliang soldiers climbed up the city wall by relying on the thin numbers. Both sides of the army wore the same leather armor. The Xiliang soldiers cleverly blended into the defenders, and then faced the exposed soldiers.
A comrade stabbed him in the back.
The garrison soldiers on the city wall were a little at a loss. They looked around with vigilance. Even if they were people they knew, they couldn't believe it at this time.
The soldiers above were causing chaos, and the soldiers chasing behind rushed to the bottom of the city gate. Luo Mu and his party pulled the rope and rushed towards the city wall.
At this time, the Lord of the Black City heard the sound and rushed to the bottom of the city wall with his bodyguards. Seeing the chaos on the city, he rushed up the ladder.
"kill!"
Luo Muke didn't care about this and kept fighting among the Xiliang City army. His mental skills broke through to the next stage. If he broke through to another stage, his strength would reach the second-rate level.
Now there are several people in the black city who can be his opponents. The number of third-rate masters in the northwest land will not exceed a thousand, the number of second-rate masters will not exceed fifty, and the number of first-rate masters will not exceed ten (Xuan
Tianzong is not among them)
The strength of the Black City City Lord in terms of resources is just that of a master who has just reached the second-rate level. He and Aza are not weaker than each other when they join forces.
In the wind and rain, Heicheng fell under the attack of the Seventh Army of Xiliang. Before the army could gather in the distance, the two main battalions of the Seventh Army had already reached the city wall. Now they no longer only attacked one side, nine meters away.
The city wall is so high that it would be difficult for soldiers of the Seventh Legion to reach the city wall on a normal day.
But in the wind and rain, Hei Yun's bold choice allowed Xiliang City soldiers to seize an opportunity. When Hei City sent a large army to relax their vigilance, they put on the uniforms of Hei City soldiers and rushed to the city wall. This process was very difficult.
Soon Xiliang soldiers had rushed to the city wall.
Without giving the Black City soldiers time to mobilize more troops, they occupied the city gate tower. Under the leadership of two masters, Luo Mu and Aza, they fought towards the bottom of the city gate.
Black City is still fighting. On the other side, a city as famous as Qingye City, Guaizi City has been captured by Cheng Zheng. However, a thousand defenders were quickly captured by Cheng Zheng.
As the main city of Tonghe County, Tonghe City is neither far nor close to Qingye City. Heilong set out with Li Xiang with his army, and on the third day he got close to the surroundings of the county.
Tonghe City was high and deep, and if he forced his way up, the casualties would be high, so he did not choose to attack immediately.
Before the news spread, Black Dragon sent more than 500 people to enter Tonghe City at each city gate. These people were all good soldiers in the army.
Starting on the fourth day, he led his army to storm a city gate, regardless of the heavy rain in the sky, which reduced the effectiveness of archers a lot.
The psychic cannon brought from the Shenji Battalion made a terrifying low sound, and the wall of Tonghe City was blasted with a gap by the psychic energy. That was where the Black Dragon's main attack was.
After two days of fighting, more than a thousand soldiers under Black Dragon were killed. Such casualties were terrifying. The casualties in Tonghe City on the other side were less than those of Black Dragon, but the other side was obviously panicked. They were very vigilant during the day and night for fear of the Xiliang army.
sneak attack.
The sky turned dark, and the heavy rain for several days stopped. Blood dyed the moat red, and corpses piled up under the city wall. Tonghe City seemed very quiet at night, and people could hear the sound of water droplets falling to the ground.
The soldiers who had been sneaking in for a long time spent two days of groping and discovered several important granaries in Tonghe City. These places were heavily guarded. After two days of groping, they still found some loopholes.
Their troops were divided into groups, and more than 300 people would attack the city gate, open the city gate, and all that was left was to set fire to the city and cause chaos.
The night was very quiet, and there were five hundred people wearing the uniforms of the soldiers in the city. There were blood stains and wounds on them. In addition, they had a very tough momentum, and they looked like they had just come off the battlefield.
The surrounding soldiers did not dare to approach when they saw them. In the darkness, three hundred people slowly approached the city gate. Tonghe City was not blocked, it was only blocked by numbers and huge horizontal beams.
"Stop!" A soldier guarding the city gate saw five hundred people walking straight over and put his hand on the handle of his knife. The people behind him also looked at the group in front of him with caution.
"We are here to guard the city gate on Master Zhang's order!" the leading soldier shouted loudly.
Tonghe Chengcheng advocates Xu Yang, the most right-wing person in Tonghe County.
"We have not received an order!" The soldier at the exit narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched the handle of the knife: "Please take out the documents!"
"It's gone!"
At this time, there was a sound in the distance, and a fire broke out from the granary closest to the city gate. At the same time, black smoke rose from several places in the city.
"Everyone is on alert!" the commander who was confronting the captain of the Xiliang soldiers shouted loudly. At this time, a group of Xiliang soldiers outside approached the city gate, led by the two brothers of the Cheng family.
"Everyone, if you don't have the documents, please go back!" the commander guarding the city gate said unceremoniously.
"Let's go back and ask for the documents right now!" As soon as the Xiliang captain finished speaking, the commander's long knife was halfway pulled out, and a crossbow arrow passed through the commander's neck at a speed that he had no time to avoid.
"Kill me!"
kill!
Fierce fighting broke out, and the soldiers who were going to put out the fire turned around and saw their own people fighting. However, they quickly saw the problem and someone rushed to the city gate.
They want to open the city gates!
The surrounding soldiers panicked. The enemies outside were so ferocious that even if there was a city wall, they were at a disadvantage. If those people were allowed to rush into the city, they could not imagine the consequences.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of war drums came from the city wall, and a large number of Xiliang soldiers could be seen coming in the light of the fire!
Click!
The Xiliang soldiers who rushed to the city gate threw aside the crossbar supporting the gate. The enemies behind were besieging and blocking the city gate. Those who did not let the defenders in the city come over, he used all his strength to pull out all the crossbars, leaving only
He lowered the last one, which was the most important piece of wood between the two gates. This piece of wood usually required more than two people to pull out. At this time, he struggled to lift it up alone.
Whoosh!
A long arrow flew out and hit the big man who had just lifted the crossbar. The long arrow penetrated the big man's back and stuck on the city gate.
cough!
The big man endured great pain and struggled to lift the crossbar. He leaned back and gritted his teeth tremblingly as the long arrow pulled at the flesh on his body.
Bang!
The crossbar fell to the ground, and almost all of the Xiliang soldiers behind him were killed. The big man used his last strength to pull out the long arrow and fell to the ground.
Click, click, click!
The city gate opened, and Cheng Jushu rushed to the front, holding a big ax in his hand: "Kill with me!"
The soldiers behind said nothing and quickly rushed forward to fight with the defenders!
The battle between Xiliang and the major cities in Tonghe has entered a fierce stage. Except for Mangzi City, which occupies one-third of the land, the remaining two-thirds will fall under Xiliang's control.
In Qingye City, Li Xiang sat down in the city lord's palace. The battle in Qingye City ended on the fourth day. Xiliang headquarters killed 1,235 people and 584 people permanently.
At the price of withdrawing from the army, Li Xiang got this city in his hands.
Now he is waiting for good news from other cities, and at the same time, he is preparing for war. If those in Jiuyuan City still want to fight, he, Li Xiangfeng, will accompany him to the end!
