Within a day, most of the original subordinates of the Tongtian Gang were looking for gang leader Huang Gai near the west gate. They have all been integrated into the Pioneer Army on their own.
At this moment, just after finishing the war meal, Huang Gai asked his men to take the lead and saw that 20,000 troops had already been assembled. He immediately rode his horse and mobilized in front of the formation, saying, "Brothers, I am your commander-in-chief Huang Gai. I am the one who will lead you in your achievements this time. Whether you are a veteran of the Luo City Spirit Legion or a brother who has just joined, all of them are Got it."
The team immediately lined up neatly and solemnly and moved closer to the middle. Huang Gai nodded and said, "Thank you everyone for your cooperation. The third watch has arrived. Our vanguard army is the attacker. No matter who is the first to climb the city gate, even if he died in battle. , also requires the title of marquis. But I, Huang Gai, am a miser and want to compete with everyone for the position of marquis. I will wait until we attack the city. I will give you five hundred steps and wait for you to attack first, then I will attack later."
"Haha, Mr. Huang, why are you so stingy but you still want us to take five hundred steps?"
Huang Gai said loudly, "That's a good question, because I always have to give my brothers a chance to succeed. Think about it. It only takes half a cup of tea to attack the city pass. You can get a title. I, Huang Gai, am now a pioneer." Commander, you are extremely glorious. Why do you have the nerve to compete with your brothers for credit? If you capture Ximen in this battle, all the credit and rewards will be yours. If you cannot take it, all of them will be beheaded, starting with me. The first one to behead is my Huang Gai. If you violate this oath, there will be such a blade."
After saying that, he straightened the ghost head knife, returned the knife, and stabbed his left arm. The blood flowed out, making the blood of the martial soul soldiers under his command boil.
Huang Gai's knife pierced deeply, but did not hurt the vital part. He immediately loaded some gold gun powder and randomly wrapped it with a cloth, "Follow me to attack, Wuhun chariot array, siege vehicle, city-wide chariot, get on me. Gate-ramming chariot, let's go."
The sound of bluffing kept ringing, and the torches were lit together in the darkness before dawn. It was like a fire dragon suddenly lit up from south to north outside the west gate of the Sky City. It was Huang Gai's 20,000 troops who were making final preparations before attacking the city.
The vanguard chariot array has already moved out and stopped at a safe distance below the city. Waiting for the arrival of the martial soul soldiers battle formation of the Vanguard Legion.
With 20,000 troops spread out on a front that is more than ten kilometers long, the strength is indeed too spread out.
Huang Gai's fierce generals set up multiple flags on both sides of the southeast as a feint attack. Heavy troops were deployed on the left and right sides of the main city gate. Strive to have the entire army clenched into an iron fist and smash open the enemy's positions like a hammer.
The chariot formation has been assembled, the war horses and military cavalry are driving out, and the martial soul soldiers are beating the shields on their chests. The war knives and war swords hit the shields, making a unified snapping sound, and a murderous atmosphere. Under the bright light of a hundred meters high fire from the rear army, they began to advance towards the enemy's city.
This time, the person guarding the west gate is a fierce general from the Beiyang Sect named Sima Qian. Sima Qian himself is also a master of martial arts. However, in recent years, with the leadership of Lisuo, he has been conquering the south and the north. He has made countless contributions within the Back Sun Sect and has been promoted to the West Gate Guard of the Sky City.
Sima Qian was a nouveau riche in the city before joining the Xianyang faction. I have an old friendship with the city lord, King Ke.
However, due to an accident, the two became enemies. The Chaoyang Sect asked him to take charge of Ximen. Whether it is the leader of the faction, Zhu Yuyan, or the master of the faction, General Lisuo, they are all relieved.
But when he saw a fire breaking out outside the city, Sima Qian had already sent three groups of troops to investigate, and the information they got pointed out that the army outside the city was the Luo City Spirit Legion.
This news was so important that Sima Qian immediately sent a special liaison envoy to the secret lair of the Back Sun Sect in the city to inform the leader of the sect and the commander-in-chief, Mr. Lisuo.
He immediately sent all the Ximen Spirit Guards to the city to guard the city, and also transferred the inner three battalions to the city. For a time, the city wall that was silent just now was just a few flags fluttering sparsely. It only took half a moment to turn into flames soaring into the sky, the flags clear and dense.
On the general platform outside the city, Yi Jing, who was watching the situation at the enemy's gate, said to his good brother Ba Fengnan, "Brother Ba Fengnan, you haven't slept for three days. Now is the time to catch up on your sleep." .Go and rest, I’m here.”
Ba Fengnan was not polite and patted Yi Jing on the shoulder. "If you have any news, tell me immediately." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Yi Jing turned to the commander of the Chinese army, Zhan Guan, and said, "How prepared is the Chinese army?"
"Please rest assured, Lord City Lord, the 40,000 martial soul soldiers in the Chinese army have all sharpened their swords and guns, and their horses are well fed. They can go out anytime and anywhere to help the vanguard army attack the west gate."
Yi Jing nodded and said, "Where is the rear army?"
As a military advisor, Qing Changzhu reported to Yi Jing, "The situation in the rear army is exactly the same. Mr. Zhang Baoxiang just sent someone to report it. There was no change in the direction of the rear army. There was no discovery of Xingcheng King Yi Chongtian's legion or other mysterious things." power."
Yi Jing nodded and said, "Send the order and let Huang Gai lead the siege."
"yes."
The order flag flashed, and the order was received in the vanguard camp. Huang Gai looked at the sky and saw that the army was advancing from the third watch to the fourth watch. The time was now between the third watch and the fourth watch. The weather is cool and it's a good time to attack the city and fight.
"Qiang!" The ghost-headed sword came out, pointed in the direction of the west gate, and shouted, "Brothers, attack."
"Kill." The entire battlefield immediately felt like a wave of anger, with horses galloping and soldiers risking their lives. They drove neatly to the bottom of the city wall.
Under the fierce bombardment from the siege vehicles, several Wuhun soldiers of the Beiyang Legion fell from the city wall from time to time.
The Wuhun Chariot invented by Yi Jing is no longer the unique secret skill of the Luo City Wuhun Legion. There are already more than a dozen copies on Wuhun Continent.
However, other legions have only learned a little bit, and their power is not as powerful as the chariot invented by Yi Jing.
After all, it is an authentic "Martial Spirit Chariot Formation." Line up, load ammunition, fill gunpowder, ignite, and blast out. In one go, countless martial spirit bombs immediately exploded across the air and bombarded the city wall. Some of the ones that blasted far away even hit the city, posing a major threat to the enemy troops on the west gate wall.
After the first wave of attacks, the sky was already lit up by flames of war. The fire caused by the burning of the fire pot has illuminated the entire city wall from south to north as brightly as daylight.
The martial arts soldiers in Luo City threw away their torches one after another, and even threw away their shields for the convenience of climbing. He held a big knife in his hand and climbed up the ladder with the other hand. Fight towards the city wall.
The defenders of the Beiyang Legion in the city also launched a crazy counterattack at this moment.
Under the personal command of Sima Qian, huge rocks were smashed from the city wall from time to time, and the hammered wood covered with nails and the boiling oil were poured down one after another.
Fortunately, Yi Jing had already prepared "heat-insulating armor" for the Pioneer Legion. This kind of armor made using the soul system little lolita, after upgrading and adding the properties of the spirit stone, can withstand boiling oil below 500 degrees.
"Brothers, we must not let the martial soul soldiers from Luo City attack the city. Please kill them for me."
As the number one expert under General Lisuo of the Beiyang Sect, Sima Qian has many roles, including being the Wuhun guard of Ximen. In the Back Yang Sect, he is also known as the "Zhishi Gongzi." He is an all-rounder who is both romantic and evil.
Even such a capable person was frightened into a cold sweat when he saw the incoming Luo City martial arts soldiers.
Sima Qian had already seen that Yi Jing was not here to attack the city this time. To be more precise, he was here to fight for his life. Otherwise, there will be more than 20,000 vanguard troops. It is impossible to risk their lives to attack the West City defense line of Sky City as soon as the war begins.
At this moment, the vanguard army, led by Huang Gai, had already opened a hole on the southeast side of the West City Gate. The siege vehicle that was as high as the wall advanced to the corner of the city wall. Dozens of martial soul soldiers, with shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, violently penetrated the city gate. As soon as he jumped down, he started a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Yang-back faction army guarding the city.
Just as the siege was going on intensely, a strange team seemed to be pouring in from the northwest border area.
There were not many of them, but all the knights covered their faces with black turbans. There was no mark on the shirt. As the rear army commander of the Luo City Wuhun Legion, Zhang Baoxiang immediately sent a thousand-man knight army to intercept after discovering this mysterious team.
The enemy seemed to have only fifty riders, but they were all very experienced in both their riding skills and their combat experience on horseback. The fighting power of Wuhun is particularly powerful. The logistical support corps of thousands of people could not stop them.
By the time Zhang Baoxiang heard the news and went to intercept them in person, the slings were put down on the city wall and the men had already been brought to the city gate. And the war cavalry they were riding on were all killed with one heavy blow. What was left to Zhang Baoxiang was just a pile of dead horses. The tiger general was so angry that he screamed.
Without saying a word, Zhang Baoxiang immediately reported the situation to the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, Zhan Guan. Zhan Guan reported the situation to Yi Jing again.
Yi Jing, who was strategizing, frowned after hearing the news and said, "Besides the horses, what else did those mysterious martial knights leave behind?"
Zhan Guan placed a helmet picked up by Zhang Baoxiang in front of Yi Jing. Yi Jing touched the helmet with his hand and his eyes were in trance. After a long time, he said to himself, "He's here!"
"who is he?"
"The top ten masters under the evil master Sheng Zhixuan!" As soon as Yi Jing said these words, all the martial spirit commanders were stunned.
Zhan Guan said in shock, "Our army is currently attacking the city fiercely. At this time, the evil sect Sheng Zhixuan sent his masters to help the Yang sect. Isn't this a clear sign that he wants to make things difficult for us. But then again. The evil sect also Okay, so be it Xuanzong. In their eyes, the Luo City Spirit Legion was always a serious concern.
