"boom--!"
A blue-purple thunder suddenly slid down from the sky, illuminating the dark night sky and illuminating the densely packed Black Tiger Army with shiny armor.
After the thunder, heavy rain poured down. The air was so humid that it made it difficult to breathe, and there was a feeling of depression. Along with the sound of thunder, 20,000 cavalry rushed in despite the heavy rain, and the sound was even louder than the thunder. The sound of rain.
Originally, Zhang Yan planned to raid Lingshikou tonight. As long as Lingshikou was under his control, Bingzhou's army and horses would try to rush to Chang'an through Lingshikou. In addition, Xi Zhicai's men and horses would guard Wuguan Road, and the entire Chang'an would be isolated and helpless. , even if Xiliang and Beizhou want to come to help, it will take a month for the news to come and go.
Unexpectedly, Jingjun discovered it and had to forcefully seize the pass.
A moment later, Zhang Yan's army of soldiers and horses arrived at Lingshikou. Thunder light flashed, illuminating the small city of Lingshikou. It was already full of defenders. The cold sword became even colder under the baptism of rain. The lightning shines with a penetrating cold light.
"Where did it come from under the city?" A shout came from the top of the city.
The general guarding Lingshikou was none other than Cheng Peng, the general Hu Ji had replaced. He was ordered by Zhang Liao to guard Lingshikou. After receiving the news from Mu Gong, he was also frightened and hurriedly summoned the soldiers to board the city to defend the city. , and at the same time mobilized the people to prepare things to defend the city.
Zhang Yan knew that Lingshikou was unprepared for defense and did not waste time. He immediately drew his sword and stared at Lingshikou, shouting with a ferocious face: "The whole army obeys the order! Whoever enters the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! Kill!"
The Black Tiger Army was immediately shaken.
First, five thousand soldiers galloped away, and the cold rain was suddenly filled with torrential murderous intent.
Before the two sides could get close, dense arrows had already been shot through the rain curtain. The sharp arrows penetrated the flesh and made a "Puff" sound, and screams continued from the top of the city.
The Black Tiger Army was well prepared to attack Lingshikou.
When the horse was about to rush to the city, the soldier at the front took out the rope, threw it twice on top of the city, and tightly caught the city wall. The soldiers took advantage of the inertia of rushing to the city, pulled the rope, and quickly Climb up.
Seeing this, Mu Gong hurriedly shouted: "Quick! Cut off the rope!"
As he said that, he had already drawn out the knife and struck hard at the rope. He felt the edge of the knife shake instantly, his palms were numb, sparks flew out, and Mu Gong's pupils instantly dilated in horror.
The front section of the rope was actually covered with iron sheet, and the blade could not cut through it at all. He had used too much force just now and only cut into half an inch.
Mu Gong felt a chill, and his whole body was instantly ice cold.
Cheng Peng, who was standing next to him, was also shocked when he saw this, and shouted quickly: "Throw stones! Throw stones quickly!" Then he turned to Mu Gong and shouted: "Quickly go down to the city to prepare defensive materials, and demolish the houses near the city. , after this battle, I will personally cover it for them!"
"Here!"
Mu Gong didn't dare to delay and hurriedly ran down the city. Unexpectedly, the sole of his foot slipped and he rolled down, spraining his foot.
At such a critical moment, Mu Gong didn't even notice that he sprained his foot. He turned over and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Quick! Demolish these houses and send the things up to the city! All strong men come to help!"
Even so, the things to defend the city are far from enough.
The battle only lasted for a stick of incense, and several nearby houses were demolished and smashed down. However, the enemy troops still came in waves, and several enemy troops had already boarded the city.
Cheng Peng personally took the sword to kill, and then killed the soldiers who climbed to the top of the city.
Among the waves of enemy troops, Cheng Peng could not withstand such a fierce attack on his own. The right side had just retreated, and dozens of enemy troops on the left had already climbed up to the top of the city. The battle between the two sides moved from the battlements to the city. On the head.
Cheng Peng's eyes were red and he worked tirelessly to kill the enemy.
Mu Gong below the city trembled with fright when he heard the sound on the city top. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him to rush to the city head. Seeing that the enemy and we were already fighting on the city head, he ordered everyone to guard the battlements and not let more people go. The enemy comes up.
Mu Gong bore the brunt of guarding the two crenels on the left and right, slashing on the left and killing on the right.
Just when he was jealous of the killing, an arrow suddenly shot up and hit his left arm. Suddenly, there was a burning pain in his arm, and his left arm almost lost its strength.
Mu Gong gritted his teeth and grabbed the arrow shaft with his right hand. He roared and pulled out the arrow.
Mu Gong's eyes were scarlet red from the pain.
He bit his gums unconsciously and blood covered his teeth.
A bolt of lightning fell, illuminating Mu Gong's ferocious devil-like appearance, which was heartbreaking.
When the enemy soldiers who had just climbed up saw this scene, they were so frightened that they froze there and did not dare to move.
Mu Gong endured the severe pain, held the knife in both hands, and tried his best to kill him.
The battlements were guarded, and the enemy troops on top of the city were quickly eliminated. Only then did Cheng Peng find time to come to the battlements and secure the battlements.
But there were only a thousand defenders at Lingshikou.
Including the 400 people brought by Mu Gong, there were a total of 1,400 people. Seven hundred people were lost in the battle just now. The city was covered with corpses, and blood mixed with rainwater flowed all over the ground.
The battle continues.
Cheng Peng and Mu Gong tirelessly stood at the battlements, coming up to kill one by one. Cold arrows were fired from the city, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight soldiers were killed.
Cheng Peng shouted in a rough and naive voice: "There is no way to defend like this, the troops are too few! Deyao (Mu Gong's word), you quickly go to the city and mobilize the strong men to prepare..."
"puff!"
Before he finished speaking, a cold arrow shot through Cheng Peng's throat as fast as lightning.
The strong arrow poked out directly from the back of his neck.
Cheng Peng's eyes bulged out in disbelief, and blood gushed out from his mouth. He looked deeply at Mu Gong and wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word. He choked on blood in his mouth and fell backwards. .
Mu Gong was so shocked that his scalp was numb.
Suddenly turning his head to look down the city, a bright thunder flashed, illuminating the sneer of Zhang Yan who had just finished shooting the arrow.
Suddenly, a raging anger burst through his chest and burned. The fire in his eyes flashed, mixed with a bit of sorrow for Cheng Peng's death. A force that didn't know where it came from, Mu Gong held his breath and shouted loudly. , swung the knife and struck at the battlements with lightning speed, cutting off the enemy soldiers and ropes that had just climbed up.
Blood spattered, turning half of Mu Gong's body red.
Mu Gong pointed at Zhang Yan with the tip of his knife, gritting his teeth and saying every word: "You sneak attack thief! Tonight I will fight you to the death!"
"Boom!"
Thunder flashed in the sky above and heavy rain poured down.
Mu Gong's whole body was soaked by the rain. The rain was cold, but his whole body was as hot as a ball of fire. Anger was burning in his chest, and he wished he could rush down and break him into pieces.
But I heard Zhang Yan's calm voice below: "Kill! Whoever reaches the top of the city first will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
The Black Tiger Army's eyes turned red and they charged toward the city crazily.
