Chapter 211: The Iron Heart War (Part 2)
The stout man wearing red armor looked at the thick city walls of Tiexin Village in front of him, stroking his beard thoughtfully.
He came all the way from the northern border, and it was night, so he kept going non-stop. Even if the other party's spies were aware of their whereabouts, they would not be able to react so quickly.
After all, this is not Yinren Village but within Tiexin Village. According to previously obtained intelligence, a group of warriors from Yinren Village actually captured this place in no more than two days.
"Is it possible to completely control a force in two days?" The middle-aged man was obviously amused by his own thoughts and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
But what immediately confused the red-armored cavalry general was how tightly guarded the camp wall was. In the round of attack just now, the opponent still organized a very effective counterattack despite the nearly white volley of demon-breaking crossbows.
Looking at the more than twenty black-armored soldiers lying dead under the city wall in the distance, the sturdy man was a little annoyed. This person is none other than Liu Dong, the leader of Ji Rentu's four great cavalry generals.
Although Liu Dong is ugly in appearance and short in stature, his inner strength is extremely strong, and he is also the highest among the four cavalry generals. However, due to physical innate reasons, the man's combat strength is not the best among the four.
Fortunately, the man in red armor has an extremely calm mind, and his battlefield sense and ability to command and fight are the strongest among the four cavalry generals. This is why the middle-aged man can become the leader of the four cavalry generals under Ji Rentu's command!
While the stout man was thinking secretly, Bai Mei, who was guarding the city wall here, had greater fluctuations in her heart than her cold and calm appearance.
Demon-breaking crossbow! It turned out to be a demon-breaking crossbow! No wonder Ji Rentu was so confident that a team of only a hundred ordinary soldiers dared to attack by force!
More than 90% of the soldiers recruited by Ji Shenfu's 8,000 cavalry were ordinary people. They all practiced the art of fighting in formations after entering the army.
Anyone who practices martial arts practices Sanjiu in the winter and Sanfu in the summer. Even if you have been practicing martial arts since childhood and don't have three years of hard work, it will be difficult to achieve anything famous.
But for a soldier to train from scratch and endure three or more years of hard work, no one force can afford it, no matter in terms of military pay, materials or time consumption.
Therefore, the standards for recruitment of soldiers by various forces in the world do not impose any mandatory requirements on their martial arts cultivation. However, those who have such cultivation are more likely to obtain military exploits and be promoted in the army.
Looking at all the generals under Ji Rentu, they are all martial arts masters without exception, and these four cavalry generals are all strong in the chivalrous realm.
…
Bai Mei looked at the city wall where nearly thirty of the guards had been killed or injured, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent!
"Lord Baimei! The iron armor of the guards is already in place. The people from the intelligence team still need some time to arrive!" A man wearing iron chain inner armor said solemnly.
"Conceal your position, don't come forward rashly, use the bed crossbow on the city wall to shoot them back!" the delicate woman ordered in a cold voice.
Soon, the dark cavalry rushed to the city wall again, shooting black crossbow arrows one after another. Most of the people who guarded the city wall before were newly arrived warriors from Helianbao. These people did not recognize this amazingly powerful crossbow at first.
As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless, and neither side looked down upon the other at the beginning. The guardian warriors did not deliberately avoid the attack of the Demon-Breaking Crossbow, and the black-armored cavalry did not expect that the opponent would counterattack wildly without avoiding the sharp edge. This resulted in dozens of casualties on both sides during the previous battle.
At this time, everyone finally realized the terrifying power of the Demon-Breaking Crossbow, and they had no choice but to hide and not dare to fight back rashly. As for the two huge bed crossbows at the top of the city, they could only fire a few heavy crossbows back at them, and it was difficult to pose much of a threat to the opponent.
The delicate woman looked solemnly at the cavalry walking around the city. As a member of the intelligence team of the mountain patrol, she had already recognized the man wearing red armor.
"Lord Baimei, they are attacking on the northwest city wall!" A man dressed as a guardian knelt down and shouted.
"Shi Xiongcai! Take your people to the northwest city wall!" Bai Mei roared in a low voice.
I saw a strong man with a hairband on his head bowing and obeying the order, then turned around and headed straight for the northwest city wall with twenty iron-clad guards.
Shi Xiongcai is a veteran captain of the Iron Guard, and he has reached the high level of the Mang Realm with his "Seven Stacks of Bear Spirit Palms". Even among the many iron-clad captains of the guards, he is still a tough one.
The armored guards were generally warriors above the realm of power, and when they attacked together, it was natural that the black-armored soldiers who had just climbed the city wall would find it difficult to resist. If it weren't for the cavalry walking down the city from time to time firing arrows from their magic crossbows, the more than twenty black-armored soldiers who climbed onto the city wall wouldn't have been able to withstand the attacks of these men wearing iron cable inner armor.
Liu Dong saw that the opponent's guard Tieyi had taken action, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The strong man raised his hand and waved, and a team of iron cavalry immediately sprang out from behind him and headed straight for the northwest wall of Tiexin Village.
Taking advantage of the night and the speed of the horse, this strange soldier with black armor and black cavalry arrived under the city wall in a blink of an eye. There was no need for the red-armored man to give orders. The hundred or so cavalrymen took their crossbows and set up arrows one after another, without paying any attention to Pao Ze who was still fighting on the city wall!
Accompanied by a suffocating sound of crossbow strings, a dense rain of arrows came straight towards the people on the city wall!
………………Dividing line………………
At the same time, in the dense forest two hundred miles north of Tiexin Village, Zhu Wen, wearing silver armor, stared at the enchanting woman in front of him with a pale face.
Venomous Bee lazily asked, "Your Excellency is visiting Tiexin Village late at night, but what's the urgent matter?"
"Hmph! What kind of upright warrior is he who resorts to deceit and sneak attacks?" Zhu Wen replied with narrowed eyes.
At this time, the silver-armored young man was extremely frightened. The woman's finger just hit him hard, and such a powerful inner strength was certainly not something that a Dengtang-level warrior could possess.
When the enchanting woman heard what the other party said, she couldn't help but taunted, "Leiluo? You led troops to invade my Yinren territory late at night, and you still want to say that I can't wait for you to be upright?"
Hearing the other party's question, the young man in silver armor obviously didn't want to dwell too much on this matter. At this time, a group of guards behind him had followed. The young man raised his bright silver gun high, obviously giving orders to the cavalry behind him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The demon-breaking crossbow arrows arrived one after another, and the poisonous bee did not dare to raise them. Although she was a warrior both internally and externally, she had a more powerful body than ordinary internal warriors. But with a crossbow attack of this magnitude, even one arrow would cause serious injury!
What's more, in this night, the dark crossbow arrows are even more difficult to guard against.
A bright light flashed in the poisonous bee's eyes, and the enchanting figure advanced instead of retreating. Its slender fingers pointed out one after another, one after another on the silver spear thrust by the young cavalryman.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
The bright silver gun bounced back with a sound, and the woman's figure had already reached the front. Dozens of crossbow arrows buzzing like locusts flashed beside the two of them.
Zhu Wen's eyes were filled with madness, he took out the spear with his right arm and stabbed back, the solid white spear pointed directly at the back of the opponent's neck in an instant.
A smile appeared on the lips of the silver-armored cavalryman. After all, he is a warrior who has used guns for many years. He can be sure that due to the height difference brought by the horses, Zhu Wen can cut the enchanting woman's neck before her fingers touch him!
…
"boom!"
"puff!"
The two figures froze there for an instant, and a group of guard cavalry also raised their demon-breaking crossbows and pointed them at them.
