On the narrow mountain road, Fang Fengjin gave a "kill" order, and countless soldiers moved upon hearing the order, with murderous intent, pointing directly at the powerful enemy at the top of the city.
On the city wall, Li Xuan did not back down in the face of the situation, and stepped forward boldly, pressing his hand on the eight-sided Han sword, and the long sword was instantly unsheathed.
Under the reflection of the morning light, the cold long sword carried endless chill and hit the hearts of all the Tianyin soldiers, causing them to stop in their tracks.
Dressed in black fish scale armor, from a distance, he looks like a black god.
On the narrow mountain road in the distance, Fang Fengjin looked at Li Xuan with eyes that were like spitting fire, wanting to pounce on him and devour him.
But the anger did not completely burn his reason. Under his command, the Tianyin soldiers began to press forward steadily from hundreds of meters away.
Fang Fengjin's hand tightly grasped the handle of the knife and never let go.
Faced with the endless ridicule of killing his brother and killing his relatives and enemies, although he remained calm, the murderous intention in his heart was already overwhelming.
Li Xuan took a deep look at Fang Fengjin, then looked sideways at Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen, and said lightly: "You two, be prepared. Today, once, they will use all their forces. Push it up.”
"Are they crazy? They want to defeat Meiling Pass in one go?" Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen were surprised at the same time. They had made plans to fight fiercely with Tianyin Sect for several days. Are they going to decide it all in one go now? Life or death?
"Fang Fengjin has the heavy responsibility of Tianyin Sect's departure from Wuzhou on his shoulders, and he cannot think about it carefully. What's more, he is facing this king, his life-and-death enemy." A slight sneer appeared at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth. Although Fang Fengjin's behavior surprised him a little, it was just an accident.
He has long been prepared to deal with any changes.
…
On the narrow mountain road, four well rails were pushed hard by dozens of strong soldiers. They were nailed with thick wooden boards, and the wooden boards were covered with three layers of cowhide.
Four well towers with a height of twelve meters are running side by side. From a distance, they seem almost parallel to the city head.
At the top of the well, behind the wooden planks and skins, Xu Shan led several elite archers, staring at the city gate with bows and arrows in their hands.
Behind the well, dozens of archers followed closely, and behind them were two catapults.
There were many people nearby carrying stones in their hands, but those stones seemed to be very light and not that heavy.
Li Xuan could see clearly at a glance that those stones were the piece-leaf stones he had used before. After smashing them, the pieces of stone whirled like the same pieces.
This kind of stone is very light and can hit farther with the same force.
Especially in this kind of siege battle, once such stones explode on the city wall, the archers on the city will be immediately affected.
And if this thing hits someone, even though it won't kill them, it will really hurt.
Behind these people, there were more soldiers holding swords and shields, and some soldiers later were holding ladders in their hands.
As long as they can reach the bottom of the city wall and hang up the ladder, they can immediately start a close combat with the soldiers on the wall.
The Tianyin Sect's previous attacks on the city were because their numbers were not large enough and they did not even reach the city wall a few times, but it was different now. They had enough cannon fodder to sacrifice.
Five hundred people, eight hundred people, one thousand people, as long as enough people die, the soldiers on the wall will soon feel tired.
In the battlefield, fatigue is equivalent to death.
In this way, step by step, all the soldiers in the city were killed on the city wall.
Therefore, in Li Xuan's eyes, the threat of these ladders is greater than those of catapults and wells.
It's just that in this way, Li Xuan's soldiers in the city may lose all their soldiers, but the casualties of those from the Tianyin Sect may be higher than them.
At least not less than three times.
Now it depends on which aspect cannot be sustained first.
Fang Fengjin had made full preparations a long time ago, so what could Li Xuan do wrong? Everyone would be fighting to the death.
…
"Trebuchet ready."
As soon as the well on the mountain road came into attack range, Li Xuan immediately raised his sword, followed closely, and slashed downwards.
The next moment, four rounded rolling stones were already spinning rapidly in mid-air.
In the blink of an eye, there was a "boom", and four rolling stones hit the top of each well almost at the same time.
Suddenly wood chips flew everywhere.
Fang Fengjin's expression suddenly froze.
Although the catapult on the city wall was launched a little late, it hit the top of the well with great accuracy.
Compared with the base layer below, the uppermost layer has to carry archers, and there are not as many wooden frames as there are below.
The rolling stones fell, and several wooden sticks were immediately broken.
If the cowhide hadn't been there, an archer might have died under the rolling stones.
The King of Nanchang saw through their weaknesses.
Fang Fengjin frowned, waved his hand, and shouted loudly. "Accelerate the advance."
The catapult placed on the city wall has a much higher range than the Tianyin Sect.
In this distance, even a veteran like Fang Fengjin could only watch himself being beaten without fighting back.
Zhang Wanyu stood behind Fang Fengjin, looking at the scene in front of her, her face had already darkened.
She knew that all this must have been done by Li Xuan.
Only he can calculate all these accurately.
"Go on, crush the top archer to death first." Li Xuan ordered again coldly.
"Boom!" Another four rolling stones kept rolling in the air, but each time, they hit the top of the well with the same accuracy.
It's like everything has been carefully calculated.
Although the soldiers of the Tianyin Sect were advancing steadily, they were still frightened by the rolling rocks that kept bombarding them.
"Boom, boom, boom", rolling stones kept hitting the top layer of the well.
Finally, there was a click, the wooden pillar on the well railing broke directly, and the rolling stone and the cowhide hit an archer hard.
Without saying a word, the archer fell directly from the well railing, and blood flowed all over the ground.
The rolling stone fell from the top of the well, directly grazing the top of the catapult and hitting the ground hard.
The surrounding Tianyin soldiers immediately and subconsciously moved out of the way, and the rolling stones quickly rolled back along the path they got out of the way.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuan sneered slightly at the corner of her mouth.
The next moment, the top of another well was torn to pieces, and the falling stone hit a head directly: "Bang!"
More rolling stones fell from mid-air, causing large areas of bloody killing.
Li Xuan's eyes fell on Fang Fengjin again.
"Speed up!" Although Li Xuan couldn't hear Fang Fengjin's voice, Li Xuan could recognize his mouth shape at a glance.
In an instant, the people below were pushing the remaining well rail harder, pushing the well rail harder to accelerate forward.
"Brother Qiu!" Li Xuan suddenly called Qiu Zhenmu, and Qiu Zhenmu immediately stepped forward. The Qianniu Guard behind him had already put a long bow into Qiu Zhenmu's hands. In the blink of an eye, he had already drawn the bow and nocked an arrow. .
However, the arrow was not shot immediately. Qiu Zhenmu was still staring at the well in the distance.
At the sound of Jinglan approaching the catapult two hundred and fifty steps away, Li Xuan and Qiu Zhenmu's faces lit up at the same time.
Just as Jing Lan pushed forward, the next moment he heard a "boom".
A two-meter-wide ravine suddenly opened in the center of the mountain road, and the well fell down.
The ravine is not deep. This is a mountain road after all, and the deepest is only half a meter.
As long as there are enough people grabbing the well railing at the same time and pulling up hard, the well railing can be pulled up immediately.
That's what Fang Fengjin did. Not only did he greet his men, he even rushed forward himself.
Just when Fang Fengjin and his men rushed forward with the rolling rocks above their heads that could hit them, a rocket suddenly shot from the front.
Immediately afterwards, billowing flames immediately appeared below the well, and the flames rose rapidly.
"Tung oil!" Fang Fengjin suddenly lost his cool and stared at the city with gritted teeth.
Not only were dead grass placed under the well, but tung oil was even hidden under the dead grass.
In an instant, the four wells were immediately engulfed in rolling flames.
With a "bang" sound, Fang Fengjin stepped hard on a well railing. With one kick, he directly smashed the flaming layer in the lower half of the well railing. At the same time, he kicked the rest of the well railing. The part, flat, kicked to the front.
"Fill the rocks!" Fang Fengjin shouted sharply at the back. The soldiers carrying the rocks behind immediately understood and threw all the rocks in their hands into the fire pit.
The soldiers on the other three sides quickly followed suit. The layer on fire was removed directly from the well railing, and the rest was pushed flat to the front, and then the fire pit was filled with stones.
Although the height of the well is not as high as before, it can still block the rolling stones falling on the city wall.
"Young Master!" Fang Fengjin turned to look at Zhang Wanyu and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, please stay here and instruct them to push the well railing forward little by little. The catapult will follow slowly. Don't be too anxious."
"Follow the order!" Zhang Wanyu immediately accepted the offer without any hesitation.
"Shield bearer, charge!" Fang Fengjin waved and rushed out first.
He didn't know when a round shield appeared in his hand, and above his head, a rolling stone slammed down from above.
Fang Fengjin smashed the round shield in his hand sideways, and the rolling stone was hit hard on the wall on one side. In an instant, it was smashed into pieces, and it could not even roll down from it to hurt anyone.
On the city wall, the surrounding soldiers were just about to adjust the catapult to aim at Fang Fengjin. At this time, Li Xuan suddenly said: "Don't worry about him. The catapult will operate according to the established plan. You can leave the rest alone."
After saying that, Li Xuan looked at Li Zhu beside him and took out a crossbow.
"Here!" Li Zhu immediately moved a crossbow from behind and placed it in front of Li Xuan.
Ordinary people need to use their feet to open the crossbow. Li Xuan just pulled it lightly with both hands and pulled the crossbow directly.
Li Xuan placed a meter-long arrow on the crossbow, and then aimed at Fang Fengjin with a black mountain.
Behind Fang Fengjin, countless sword and shield players formed a team. The shields in their hands were raised above their heads at the same time, connecting and covering each other, eventually forming a dense shield array.
Only Fang Fengjin stood out at the front.
Although Li Xuan had already explained it, rolling stones still hit him from time to time, but Fang Fengjin just hit them with his shield, and the rolling stones were smashed into pieces.
Among the endless rolling stones, Li Xuan's eyes were fixed on Fang Fengjin.
The moment he started to smash a rolling stone on the side, the crossbow arrow in Li Xuan's hand came loose.
The next moment, the crossbow arrows were like a gust of wind, fiercely shooting towards Fang Fengjin.
The moment the crossbow arrow was fired, Fang Fengjin immediately sensed it, and the shield in his hand instantly retracted to his chest, but...
Blood suddenly spattered, and a one-meter-long crossbow arrow shot hard into Fang Fengjin's shoulder. One of his hands tightly grasped the arrow shaft. The crossbow arrow was caught directly, and it just shot through him. shoulders.
With a "pop" sound, the crossbow arrow was directly broken.
Raising his head, Fang Fengjin looked at the city wall. At this moment, Li Xuan had another crossbow arrow in his hand.
The next moment, without any hesitation, Fang Fengjin quickly retreated into the crowd.
If Li Xuan were to take another arrow, he would definitely die.
Because this is a calculated arrow.
