Chapter 265: Siege! Extra Update (Five Updates Today!)
With Li Jing's order, the war drums roared and two hundred thousand troops rushed towards the city of Qizhou like a torrent.
Under the personal command of Li Jing, the main force launched a fierce attack on the core city of Qizhou.
However, when the vanguard approached the city wall, a dense rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the wall, pouring down like a storm.
Many soldiers were shot unexpectedly and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, giant arrows attacking the bed crossbow also whizzed in. Each giant arrow was enough to pierce through several people, with incredible power.
"Shield! Raise your shield!"
The general in front shouted loudly, and the soldiers quickly raised their shields, forming shield walls to try to block the overwhelming rain of arrows.
However, the arrows had strong penetrating power, and many soldiers were still wounded and fell behind the shield wall.
Li Jing frowned and looked at the battle situation in front of him, knowing in his heart that this battle would not be easy.
He quickly adjusted his tactics and ordered his soldiers to disperse to avoid greater casualties from the giant arrows from the crossbows.
At the same time, elite commandos were sent out to try to climb the city walls and destroy the defenders' offensive equipment.
However, the defenders were clearly prepared.
Their archers took aim at the commandos and shot them down one by one.
The giant arrows from the crossbows were also shot out from time to time, posing a great threat to the Cangzhou army.
Li Jing took a deep breath. He knew that if this continued there would be even more casualties.
But there was no way. Facing a siege, outnumbering the defenders by two to one was considered a success.
There is absolutely no room for maneuver in this kind of siege warfare.
At the same time, Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong and others also led their troops to launch a full-scale attack on several surrounding cities.
Xue Rengui, wearing armor and holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, rushed towards a city first.
Behind him were tens of thousands of elite soldiers, following closely behind him like an unstoppable force.
Under another city, Qin Qiong also led his troops to launch a fierce attack.
Holding two maces in his hands, he led the way in climbing up the city wall.
The figure shuttled quickly across the battlefield, and every swing of the mace could take the lives of several enemy soldiers.
As the Cangzhou army continued its fierce offensive regardless of casualties, sporadic Cangzhou soldiers began to appear on the walls of the Qi army.
This change immediately attracted the attention of Li Jing, Xue Rengui and others.
"Marshal! Our soldiers have climbed onto the city wall!"
A deputy general beside Li Jing was sharp-eyed and was the first to discover this important situation. He pointed excitedly at the Cangzhou soldiers on the city wall and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Li Jing immediately looked up and saw the familiar figures on the city wall.
"It's time! Pass the order and have the four generals Bai Hu, Sun Wukong, Wu Wenhua, and Mo Peng prepare to climb the city walls and take it down in one fell swoop!"
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he made a decisive decision.
The order was quickly passed down, and soon, high-level combat forces such as Baihu, Sun Wukong, Wu Wenhua, and Mo Peng gathered in front of Li Jing and Xue Rengui.
They were all in high spirits and full of fighting spirit, waiting for further orders.
"Everyone, now is the critical moment for us to expand our victory."
"We already have soldiers on the city walls, but there aren't many of them yet, and the situation is still unclear."
"You will immediately go to support them, completely occupy the city wall, and then open the city gates to welcome the army into the city."
Li Jing glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice,
"Don't worry, General Li! We will definitely fulfill our mission!"
Baihu said confidently. As a divine beast of war, he already possessed extraordinary combat power and talent, and at this moment, he was even more eager to fight.
"Hehe, it's been a while since I had such a good fight! I'm going to meet those defenders now!"
Sun Wukong also waved his golden cudgel eagerly and grinned.
Although Wu Wenhua and Mo Peng did not speak, there was also a firm light flashing in their eyes.
"Okay! In that case, you guys should set off immediately!"
Li Jing waved the sword in his hand and spoke loudly.
Following Li Jing's order, Baihu, Sun Wukong, Wu Wenhua, Mo Peng and others rushed towards the city wall like arrows.
Under the city wall, the Cangzhou army had built a solid shield wall, providing them with the necessary cover.
Baihu and others took advantage of the shield wall to carefully approach the city wall.
They crouched and moved quickly through the narrow passage between the shield wall and the city wall.
The defenders were raining arrows down on them, but with the protection of their shield wall, they managed to avoid most of the attacks.
When they approached the city wall, they immediately saw the built ladders.
These ladders are sturdy and stable, leading directly to the top of the city wall.
Baihu and others stepped onto the ladders without hesitation and began to climb rapidly under the rain of arrows from the defenders.
Their movements were swift and agile, as nimble as monkeys.
Their figures rose rapidly on the city wall and soon approached the top of the wall.
On the city wall, there were flashes of swords and shouts of killing, which shook the sky.
The white tiger's internal energy transformed into a huge white tiger divine beast, tearing the enemy with its sharp claws and teeth.
Sun Wukong was waving his golden cudgel like a god of war. In his hand, the cudgel turned into a golden lightning, which could hurt anyone who touched it and kill anyone who came into contact with it.
Each swing can knock several enemies away.
Wu Wenhua and Mo Peng were not to be outdone, and the Golden Thread Paiba Mu and Pengmo Hun Tian Ji in their hands drew graceful arcs.
He can move freely among the enemies, and every time the weapon in his hand falls, it can make the enemies tremble with fear.
Every time the weapons collided, there was a deafening crash and sparks flew.
The two of them stood firmly on the city wall like two iron towers.
The city walls were dyed red with blood, and broken limbs were everywhere, showing how brutal the battle was.
The defenders were not completely powerless to fight back. They put up a stubborn resistance, with arrows and boulders pouring down from the city walls, causing considerable casualties to the Cangzhou army.
However, under the leadership of the four top war gods, Baihu, Sun Wukong, Wu Wenhua and Mo Peng, the defenders on the city wall were quickly defeated, and the Cangzhou army on the city wall began to gain the upper hand.
The battle entered its final stage, with both sides paying huge sacrifices.
The city walls were filled with corpses and broken weapons, and every inch of the land was stained red with blood.
At the same time, Sun Wukong also discovered an important target - the general guarding the city.
He seized the opportunity, jumped up, and smashed the general hard with the golden cudgel in his hand.
"Ding! Sun Wukong's skills Qi Tian and Dou Shen are activated!
Sun Wukong's current basic force is 108, his weapon Ruyi Jingu Bang +1, his warhorse Tayun Jindouju +1, once the Qitian effect is activated, force +8, once the Doushen effect is activated twice, force +8, the current force value rises to 126!"
There was a loud "bang" and the general fell to the ground with his head and body separated.
Without the command of their general, the defenders fell into chaos.
The Cangzhou army took this opportunity to launch a more fierce attack, trying to take the city gate in one fell swoop.
