"Keep marching!"
Xie Xuan continued to give orders, and the warships gathered in groups, and soon they saw the city wall of Gaochun in the distance.
At this time, Gao Chun had already been alerted by the smoke. The Ming army guards were waiting on the city top, and a majestic aura that only the mentally powerful could sense enveloped the city head.
Li Wenzhong came to the world of China a long time ago. Xiao Yan of Nanliang was defeated by him, and Chen Baxian was forced to retreat to Jiangbei by him.
As one of the six great dukes, he is a famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty. There is no need to question his military strategy or personal strength.
When they first attacked Changzhou, Fu Youde and Wang Jing gathered five or six ninth-level experts to defeat Liu Yu. At that time, Liu Yu only had half of his feet in the ground.
Today, Li Wenzhong is already a ninth-level powerhouse.
If he defends wholeheartedly, even if ten ordinary ninth-level sieges come, it will be difficult to break through Gao Chun.
However, Xie Xuan and Xiao Moke are not ordinary generals.
Let's not talk about Xiao Moke, the reincarnation of Guan Yu. He is a top general who specializes in fighting. Even if he is only at the peak of the human realm, he can still fight against the strong men of the earth realm.
Xie Xuan had no intention of letting Xiao Moke play against Li Wenzhong.
For a powerful enemy like Li Wenzhong, only if he takes action personally can he have a certain degree of certainty.
"Li Wenzhong!"
After the warship approached the city and saw that the city wall was already well-prepared, Xie Xuan did not let his troops attack directly and ordered to disembark ten miles away from the city.
Let Xiao Moke lead the people to disembark first and be on guard. Xie Xuan relied on his strong spiritual power to look at the city wall ten miles away from the air.
I saw Li Wenzhong who had already climbed to the top of the city.
The two looked at each other in the distance. They can all feel the powerful aura of the other party, as well as the aura of life that is not far from each other.
The life auras are not far apart, which means the two are in the same realm.
In this case, who wins and who loses in the battle formation depends on their military skills and military formations, as well as their magical military skills gained from personal understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.
"Li Wenzhong has a city to rely on. He can use the military formation to draw earth energy to bless the city and soldiers. He can also bless himself to make his own magical powers stronger... Such an opponent cannot be underestimated!"
"It's a pity that the soldiers in Gaochun City are too weak and are no match for the Beifu Army!"
After Xie Xuan observed the city head, he understood clearly.
Generally speaking, in addition to personal force, the strength of a military general also depends partly on the blessing of external forces such as terrain and military formations.
If we can use military formations to borrow the power of the terrain, we can defeat the weak with the strong.
The two forces attacked the city and plundered the land. The defending side had a large city formation to draw out the power of heaven and earth, and a military formation to support the guards and generals, which could block one or two times the bombardment of the attacking side.
Sometimes two or three ninth-level generals would be helpless when leading their troops to face a general of the same level who was good at defense. It cannot be broken in a short time.
Without the Beifu Army, it would not be that easy for Xie Xuan to defeat Li Wenzhong.
The Beifu army is all elite and brave. A team of a thousand men can dare to surround and kill a seventh-level general. With a formation of ten thousand people, it is not a problem to deal with ordinary ninth-level generals.
Thirty thousand people are equivalent to the strength of three ninth-level generals.
When Xie Xuan received the blessing of three ninth-level generals, he could easily suppress Li Wenzhong.
Special arms like the Beifu Army are like the "Tao soldiers" sacrificed by the gods in the myths and legends of the original world. As long as the soldiers are trained to be strong enough, they can play a great role even in the battle with the strong ones in the heaven realm.
"Pass my order to send a battalion of men forward immediately to shoot letters urging surrender!"
Xie Xuan began to give orders.
He knew the relationship between Li Wenzhong and Zhu Yuanzhang, so naturally he would not ask his subordinates to shoot letters persuading him to surrender because he wanted to persuade Li Wenzhong to surrender. If he really had such an idea, it would be an insult to his own intelligence.
The letter of persuasion to surrender was for other Ming army generals and soldiers in the city to read.
When he was in Liyang before, the general named Gao Jie was not very loyal to the Ming army.
The building is about to collapse, and snakes, rats, insects and ants will definitely go all out to survive. When Li Wenzhong shows strength, the Ming army generals in Gaochun City will not have any objections.
But as long as Xie Xuan can suppress him, and coupled with the fact that the Ming army is at a disadvantage and crumbling, some people will definitely have other ideas.
At that time, the morale of the troops in Gaochun City will be unstable, which will naturally be beneficial to Xia Jun.
Of course we have to do things that are expensive but not beneficial.
Soon, a thousand elite soldiers of the Beifu Army came forward, each holding a strong bow, and fired a large number of surrender letters into the city.
When Xie Xuan looked at the city head.
Xiao Moke had already disembarked the ship with other elites and began to carry ladders, trebuchets, and kerosene bombs that could be assembled from the ship. These supplies were relatively small, but they could play a big role in attacking the city.
After nearly 30,000 Beifu troops disembarked from the ship, they automatically formed their formations according to the battalions without the guidance of Qianhu or Baihu.
The wind picked up and the flags rustled.
The 30,000 elite troops of the Beifu Army soared into the sky with an aura that seemed to tear the sky apart.
"Set up camp first!"
Xie Xuan stared at the city for a moment and gave the order again.
No matter how elite the Beifu army is, they have just arrived after running around for several days. Even if they can hold on physically, they are still a little tired mentally.
On the battlefield, any flaw may lead to death.
Xie Xuan also didn't want the elite soldiers he had finally trained to die miserably because of lack of energy on the battlefield.
"General... the enemy has just arrived and is not yet firmly established. Do you want to go out of the city to test it out?"
On the top of the city, a guerrilla general stepped forward slightly and spoke softly.
Li Wenzhong waved his hands with a solemn expression. The others did not have enough strength and vision. They only felt that the Xia army in the distance was powerful. They were an elite force and not easy to deal with.
But they didn't know that this elite army was guarded by a ninth-level warrior. Unless he personally took action, others who went out to test the city would only die.
When Xia Jun arrived, it was already close to noon.
The Beifu soldiers sent to cut down the trees and set up camp were all good soldiers. With a casual chop, a big tree was broken by its roots... Within an hour, a neat and neat camp appeared east of Gaochun.
The next day, early morning.
Thirty thousand elite troops were arrayed in the city. The Beifu army's formation was in order, leaning forward from left to right, like the wings of an eagle hunting.
In the military formation, there is a large straight banner.
Xie Xuan and Xiao Moke were both fully clothed. Xie Xuan was holding a Han sword and was full of heroic spirit. Xiao Moke was as majestic as a tiger and had a long sword with a powerful power.
"Li Wenzhong is using his arms as a chariot. He doesn't know whether to live or die. Send an order to destroy the city today!"
Xie Xuan pointed his sword at the city wall in front and shouted sternly.
"Today the city is destroyed!"
Xiao Moke and several guerrillas from the Beifu Army and Qianhu shouted loudly, and their morale increased sharply.
boom! boom!
The thunderous war drums sounded, and the energy of the entire Beifu army suddenly surged, like smoke rising into the sky. Even ordinary people could see this tyrannical momentum with their naked eyes.
"kill!"
Xiao Moke stepped forward to act as a temporary commander. Thirty thousand Beifu troops began to approach, and the evil spirit filled the area for dozens of miles.
And Xie Xuan's eyes have been firmly fixed on Li Wenzhong on the top of the city.
The momentum of both sides is like swords, attacking each other from a distance.
In the process of fighting in the air with fighting spirit, the power in Xie Xuan and Li Wenzhong's bodies also continued to increase, gradually reaching their peak.
After reaching the peak, it still didn't stop.
The military formations of the Beifu Army and the magic formations of Gaochun City Wall gave the two of them mutual blessings. Soon, the power brewing in their bodies reached the peak of the Earth Realm, faintly beyond the scope of the Earth Realm.
In the void, the strong wind roared.
A domineering aura was spreading around Gaochun, with Gaochun as the center. In addition to the soldiers on both sides protected by the magic circle and the people in the city, the fish and shrimps in the large lake in the distance suddenly appeared on the water after a burst of domineering aura swept over them. A large number of fish and shrimp carcasses.
boom!
The waves rolled, and the strange beasts in the depths of the lake keenly felt the tyrannical power brewing in the distance, and sensed the changes in the heaven and earth energy within a hundred miles, and began to flee crazily towards the depths of the lake, and in the direction away from Gaochun in the north and south.
Xie Xuan and Li Wenzhong locked onto each other.
If anyone's momentum is weak, the next moment they will receive a full blow from the opponent. If you are not careful, you will be seriously injured.
The top strong men no longer rely on martial arts and aura to fight against each other, but on the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and the grasp of fighting spirit, momentum and fighting opportunities.
attack!
Amidst the sound of war drums, 30,000 Beifu troops approached the city wall in an orderly rhythm. The war drums stopped and the soldiers also stopped in order.
"Prepare the trebuchet!"
Xiao Moke commanded the siege. The trebuchet assembled yesterday was pushed forward. The next moment, the trebuchet was launched, and a large number of kerosene bombs bombarded Gaochun's city head like flaming meteors.
Boom, the improved kerosene bomb fell on the city top, launching an explosion like thunder.
The kerosene bombs were mixed with spiritual stone powder and sulfur tempered with spiritual energy.
The two materials are stimulated by the micro-array on the surface of the kerosene bomb, and their power is increased ten times compared to before. Of course, the cost of this kind of kerosene bomb is more than ten times higher than before.
The Beifu Army only brought a small number of these improved spiritual fire bombs with them when they came.
On top of the city.
After being bombarded by the spirit fire bombs, the battlements that were supported by the earth's energy and military strength were blasted out of the gap. The soldiers of the Ming army who were holding up their shields to defend had never thought that the power of the spirit fire bombs was so powerful.
There was a loud noise, and at least one or two hundred people around him were blown away. Their blood and flesh were in a mess, and it was too horrible to look at.
"Put it back!"
Xiao Moke yelled.
Boom boom boom! A series of spiritual fire bombs continued to bombard the city head, and the entire city wall shook with a huge roar, as if the earth was shaking.
The face of the Ming army general on the top of the city was pale.
There were also those ordinary soldiers, even if Li Wenzhong suppressed them, they were still shocked by this violent bombardment and the tragic scene, and their morale dropped drastically.
"How is it possible...Xia Jun actually has such a sharp weapon?"
The situation in front of him made Li Wenzhong's heart tremble, and his eyes showed horror.
If he ignored him, Gao Chun would be defeated as soon as Xiao Moke, a ninth-level general, took action.
But if he took the initiative, he wouldn't be sure to repel Xie Xuan and Xiao Moke.
Without the three of them taking action, the 30,000 Beifu troops could easily take over the city...
When he was shocked in his heart, his momentum dispersed.
"kill!"
When the other party showed a flaw, Xie Xuan naturally would not let it go. He immediately gave a sharp shout and moved his long sword. The power of Gengjin between heaven and earth condensed. The sword light tore through the void in an instant and pointed directly at Li Wenzhong's eyebrows.
As an Earth Realm military commander, Xie Xuan's martial arts and Dharma have been completely integrated with himself, and he has mastered many magical powers.
With just a thought, you can create fire out of thin air and give birth to plants...
But these magical powers are of little use in the fight between strong men of the same realm.
As a military general, the most powerful thing is his physical body and fighting spirit. Only by combining magical powers with the power of the physical body can the full power of a top military general be unleashed.
Such as pushing up mountains and cutting off rivers and waves, etc., it looks grand, but it's useless if you can't hit anyone.
Xie Xuan's move did not use any fancy magical power. It just triggered the golden law between heaven and earth, that is, the power of Geng Metal to strengthen the weapon, and then it exploded into an extremely fierce and indestructible volley.
Li Wenzhong exposed his flaw and attracted this blow. He only had time to dodge the vital point between his eyebrows. His shoulders, especially the shoulder blades, were not avoided and were directly torn apart by the sword light.
Blood splashed.
Li Wenzhong gritted his teeth and activated his spear, blocking Xie Xuan's next move...
boom!
The wind and thunder stirred, and the void continued to vibrate. The two shadows continued to collide, sputtering out streams of wind, fire, and lightning.
Xiao Moke raised his head and glanced in the air.
Xie Xuan and Li Wenzhong were experts of the same level. After Xie Xuan took the lead, the advantage gradually tilted towards Xie Xuan.
kill!
Seeing that Xie Xuan had the upper hand, Xiao Moke felt relieved, shouted sharply, and landed on the top of Gaochun City with just a tip of his toes. Without the ninth level strong men to stop him, Gaochun City had no power to resist him.
With just a few moves, he killed a large number of resisting soldiers and generals.
Within a moment, the soldiers of the Beifu Army also reached the top of the city, and the Ming Army guards began to collapse.
"I failed His Majesty's expectations..."
Li Wenzhong, who was fighting Xie Xuan, suddenly felt that the blessing he had received began to dissipate, so he focused his attention and saw the collapsed city.
A feeling of sadness, anger and self-blame filled my heart.
It's his incompetence.
Although they entered Gaochun before the Xia army, they could not hold on for even a day and were defeated by the Xia army in one day.
He understood the shock that the loss of Gaochun had to the Ming army.
The more he understood this, the stronger Li Wenzhong felt guilty and self-blame.
Stimulated by this emotion, Li Wenzhong's eyes turned red.
"Even if it means death, I will make you pay the price!"
Roar!
Li Wenzhong's whole body's energy and blood suddenly roared, and he pushed the military strategist's body-building method to stimulate the body to increase strength to the extreme...
The military strategist's method of forging the body itself is similar to the legendary method of disintegrating demons.
Consuming longevity and the potential of the physical body in exchange for strength, one can rapidly increase one's strength in a very short period of time.
Therefore, when military commanders are fighting for their lives, they will also use techniques to stimulate their potential to explode in battle.
but.
At this time, Li Wenzhong was consuming not only his energy and blood, but also his longevity and the foundation of his physical body. He was obviously prepared to do everything he could to defeat Xie Xuan.
As long as Xie Xuan is severely injured and Tang He gets the news and comes, there is still a chance to recapture Gao Chun.
boom!
Li Wenzhong's energy and blood soared into the sky, filling all directions and turning into a red glow.
