Chapter 854 Assassination in Offense and Defense (1)
At the south gate of Fancheng, when the battle outside was in full swing, Zhang Jing fought head-on with thousands of troops and fought to the death, the inner city was actually dangerous. He had been allowed to climb up to the city many times, and the control of the city wall changed hands several times.
This is also impossible. After all, the design of the city wall is only to prevent the outside but not the inside. Even if there is a certain difference in height, when the bows and arrows that are most conducive to defending the city are used up, Qin Chuan's strength to defend the city will be greatly reduced, thus losing one thing to the other, and problems will be endless.
Swish swish swish swish... As the spear was flying, Qin Chuan picked up several enemies who had killed the city, but he was not careful that two rebels would appear behind him. He called him at the vest with one knife and one shot. The subordinates beside him glanced at him and hurriedly reminded him: "General Qin, be careful behind him!" While shouting, he also rushed over, trying to help him block one of them.
But in this hastily, he also ignored the enemy around him rising up and was slashed at the bend of his knee. His entire calf immediately separated from his body, causing his body to fall to the ground and let out a scream. Then, before he could take the next move, several spears that followed had stabbed into his body and nailed him to the spot.
But it was this shout that made Qin Chuan notice a sneak attack behind him. He quickly turned around and swept across the spear, hitting the two weapons, knocking them away from each other, then he sank his shoulders and hitting one of his chest. The burst of force actually knocked the opponent out of control and threw it down.
The man had just emerged from the top of the city wall, and half his foot was still on the battlement of the city wall. He was hit by the force of his chest and immediately screamed and fell from the city. At this time, Qin Chuan had already grabbed another enemy with his hand, used him as a weapon, and slapped him to the side, smashing several enemies over.
As a subordinate who can be carried on the heavy burden of defense in the inner city by Zhang Jingzhong, Qin Chuan also has a fighting technique that is far beyond ordinary generals. At this moment, he can kill a lot, and when the spear rises and falls, he can pick an enemy from the upper city, and the enemies from the upper city fall down, and the people below are frightened, and even the courage to climb up is eliminated.
Inspired by the Lord's heroic performance, the morale of the army, which was almost collapsed, quickly reunited, and the soldiers roared again: "Should! We can keep it! As long as it lasts until dark, victory is ours!"
With the roar, the soldiers who had been forced to retreat suddenly rushed up again. Although they no longer had the formation, their momentum was even stronger than before. The swords, guns, swords, spears and other weapons could not stop slashing, and they repelled this round of attack. Then, they pushed out the ladders that were erected on the city one by one, and the rebels who were still attached to them screamed and jumped into the ladders to escape.
At this time, the sun was already westward and was about to sink into the mountains. The setting sun shone like blood on the top of the city, illuminating this area that was already covered with blood and corpses became more and more red and miserable...
At the city, Cai Dechang, who had already arrived at the South Gate to supervise the battle, saw another failure in siege. After thousands of people retreated like stray dogs, his face was so gloomy that it could drip into water: "What are you doing? Our troops are several times theirs, and we have sufficient bows and arrows to suppress them, and they were defeated several times! Come on again, before dark, I must take down the city wall and connect the army outside the city into the city!"
"The head of the family, the soldiers were damaged, and their morale was also hit a lot. If you insist on them going up again, you may not be effective. If you are afraid that the effect will be increased, it will only increase the casualties, but will instead hit our morale more and more..." Seeing that Cai Dechang was angry and desperate, his subordinates immediately spoke out and persuaded him.
"Are you just dragging the troops to Xiangyang to kill you?" Cai Dechang said even more angrily, "If you dare to talk nonsense and disrupt our morale, I will kill you to sacrifice the flag first!" He has already reached this point, and he can only survive by fighting to the death, taking down Fancheng and the entire Xiangfan.
"The soldiers here are no longer able to capture the city walls, so it's better to transfer some from elsewhere." Someone suggested that it was Cai Zhiyi who spoke. Although he didn't know much about military affairs, he also saw the retreat and cowardice of the soldiers in front of him. If he continued to attack the city, he might not have the effect of the same as before.
"Are elsewhere? Are you drawn from other city gates? The people and horses that were suppressed in the city must not be moved!" Cai Dechang still maintained a certain calmness and did not accept this proposal. Although they had taken down the entire control of Fancheng, it does not mean that there were no enemies in the city. The soldiers and servants in the government and the large number of fleeing. Who knows if they will take advantage of the opportunity to make a comeback?
"Dad, then transfer people from the floating bridge." Cai Zhiyi decisively gave his own suggestions, "There are hundreds of elite soldiers there, the most capable people in our hands. Also, hurry up and find the masters of the Luotian Sect and ask them to help deal with the powerful people in the city. I see that as long as these masters are killed, they will inevitably be defeated! Especially the one who uses the spear..."
Cai Zhiyi's words really made Cai Dechang stunned, and he nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but the defense on the other side of the floating bridge is also crucial. Once all the people are brought over, what should Xiangyang do to take advantage of the situation to attack?" In a sense, the place that poses the greatest threat.
"It's going to be dark, and they don't know that we have this arrangement. Just leave some people to watch. When they hit the south gate and take people back, maybe they haven't noticed it." Cai Zhiyi had his own thoughts and said again.
"Just do what you said!" After making some trade-offs, Cai Dechang accepted this slightly risky approach. Because for him, the entire Cai family, the 10,000 Yi camp personnel were too important. They had to be put into the city so that they could have the confidence and bargaining chips, so taking risks was also worth it.
Soon, a confidant hurried to the floating bridge and mobilized the elite troops there to attack the gate. At the same time, someone contacted the Luotian Sect in the city, hoping that they could also send masters to solve the fierce generals on the front of the city.
Half an hour later, a team of uniform armor and aura rushed over. Cai Zhixin was the leader. After a little communication with his father and others, he personally commanded the army and rushed towards the city wall again. At this time, it was dark, and someone needed to light a torch for them when siege the city again.
At this time, a black shadow also rushed out from behind the crowd and suddenly appeared beside Cai Dechang, which scared him and the guards around him. Someone subconsciously pulled out weapons and wanted to attack the sudden appearance of the figure.
But the other party just smiled sinisterly: "Captain Cai, don't panic. Don't you want the Holy Sect to help you kill powerful enemies? Let's leave it to this guardian!"
"You are..." After staring at the face that was hidden in the cloak for a moment, Cai Dechang suddenly guessed the identity of this guy and shivered, "Then there will be a protective magician..."
"Haha..." After a laugh, the shadow guardian had already floated forward, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the city. Then he went up the ladder like a ghost without substance, completely melting into the darkness, making everyone else in the city look cold, and it took a while to calm down.
At this time, the war at the city wall started again. Although it was already a long battle, Qin Chuan and the others were still energetic and greeted each other. Seeing that the night was approaching, they only felt that their mission was about to be completed smoothly, so although they were tired and injured in many places, they were very energetic and wanted to kill one.
"Kill!" Qin Chuan once again led the way to face the enemy rising from below. The spear in his hand was lit out, and his wrists trembled, turning into a little cold light, and he took the enemy on the two surrounding ladders.
After a few puffs, three more people fell into the spear and fell into the city, and his steps had already retreated. Before using old moves, they dodged several slashes from behind. The subordinates who cooperated with him became more and more tacitly followed. After blocking the slashes with their shields, the spear stabbed down fiercely and stabbed several enemies into the city.
With Qin Chuan in charge, the corner was naturally guarded steadily, but the other situations began to become dangerous. This time, the enemy who climbed the ladder was stronger than the previous waves. Although some people fell into the city one after another, it did not affect their momentum of climbing the city.
Sure enough, there was only a fight, and the left hand side had been broken through again. First, three or five people, then more than ten people rose up in succession, and the officials guarding there were forced to retreat backwards, giving up a large area.
Qin Chuan knew what this meant, so he immediately explained: "You keep guarding here!" Then he stepped forward and went straight toward the gap there.
After more than ten steps, he had already reached the gap, and the spear in his hand pierced out, and he provoked the two enemies and threw them down the wall. Although such a trick consumed the most physical energy, in order to boost his morale and suppress the enemy, he could only barely use it.
Sure enough, after his continuous raids and fierce killings, the enemy who had not yet stood firm was killed or dropped from the city. The situation at the city seemed to have stabilized again.
Just as Qin Chuan calmed down, he took advantage of the enemy being suppressed and tried to take a breath, suddenly, a strong sense of crisis came from the side, suffocating his breath.
This is the feeling he developed for many years of military career. Although it is a bit mysterious, he dared not be careless at all. He quickly held the spear and turned around to look at the side.
At this moment, a cold light lit up from there, hitting his throat. There were only more than ten corpses that were overlooked by everyone.
Chapter completed!
