Chapter 72 Fierce Fighting
In the night wind, Sun Wukong's long stick flashed with a cold luster under the moonlight, as if it was filled with endless murderous intent.

Behind him, the raiding troops either sat against the wall or patrolled back and forth, always on guard.

The Qingshan County soldiers at the city gate were either dead or surrendered. They took the time to recover their strength before the counterattack from Qingshan County came.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves rang out as rapid as a storm, breaking the silence of the night.

There was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds coming from Qingshan County, and it was gradually approaching the city gate.

Sun Wukong's eyes flashed, he knew that the first counterattack of the Qingshan County soldiers was coming.

He took a deep breath, tightly grasped the long stick in his hand, and prepared to face the coming storm.

By the time the Qingshan County soldiers approached the city gate, the assault force led by the captain of the Cangzhou army had already occupied the city wall and launched a fierce attack on them.

Arrows shot down from the city wall like raindrops and landed on the array of soldiers in Qingshan County. Several soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

At this moment, the offensive and defensive momentum is different!
"General Sun, this counterattack by Qingshan County was hastily assembled."

"I think their fighting power and tacit understanding will not be very good. Please ask General Sun to lead the team to fight."

"Relieve some pressure on the defense later!"

Looking at the Qingshan County soldiers who were obviously rushing over, the captain who led the assault force this time had a flash in his eyes and spoke to Sun Wukong at the city gate under the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, a small group of cavalrymen from the assault force who had not participated in the siege also charged forward. The sound of their hooves roared like thunder, shaking the earth.

The target is directly aimed at the Qingshan County soldiers.

"Haha! No problem, no problem."

"You wait here, I will go and kill them!"

Sun Wukong, who was originally ready to defend, brightened his eyes when he heard the captain's words, and looked up at the captain with approval.

This is right!

Charging head-on into battle is what a real man should do!
At this time, on the other side, the Qingshan County Lieutenant waved his spear and led the soldiers to fight hard.

Their attack was fierce and decisive, as if they wanted to tear the enemy apart with their strength.

But unfortunately, these assault troops were carefully selected by Qin Qiong from tens of thousands of vanguard troops. They were very powerful. They were well-trained and coordinated well. Every attack was like a huge wave.

The battle was extremely fierce. The Qingshan County soldiers tried their best, but were eventually repelled.

The Qingshan County Lieutenant led the troops by example and was extremely brave, but he was not a hidden talent after all, and he did not have the strength to make a comeback like Sun Wukong.

Finally, due to exhaustion, he was knocked to the ground by a heavy punch from a sergeant of the assault force.

There was a hint of reluctance and regret in his eyes, but more of it was determination and resoluteness.

"Hold the line, don't panic!"

"The county magistrate's large force will be here soon to support him!"

He struggled to his feet, waving the spear in his hand and continued fighting.

However, the reality was cruel. The number of county soldiers hastily brought by Qingshan County Lieutenant was too small, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.

Under the fierce attack of the raiding army, the Qingshan County soldiers were defeated step by step.

The county magistrate stood at the back and watched the battle at the city gate, feeling extremely anxious.

But he knew that they had no way out and that the only way to survive was to retake the city gate.

He turned around and shouted to the guards around him: "Immediately mobilize all the soldiers guarding the city and prepare for another attack!"

The guards acted quickly. They ran through the complex passages in the county town and conveyed the order to all the second batch of county soldiers.

Soon after, more county soldiers began to gather in front of the city gate, forming a black mass.

It is several times more than what the Qingshan County Lieutenant hastily brought over before!
"kill!"

The sound of horse hooves in Qingshan County was getting closer and closer, and then a large number of county soldiers poured out of the county and rushed towards Sun Wukong and others at the city gate.

Under the moonlight, their armor flashed coldly, and the weapons in their hands drew silver tracks in the air. Sun Wukong smiled coldly, waved his long stick, and led the assault troops to actively face the enemy.

For a moment, shouts of killing resounded through the sky.

The second and final counterattack against Qingshan County began!

This time the attack was more fierce and more determined. The soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city gate.

Arrows, spears and swords were flying in the air, and every collision made a harsh metallic sound.

Blood splattered and flesh flew everywhere. The brutality of the battle was staggering.

However, fate did not seem to favor them.

The long stick in Sun Wukong's hand drew amazing arcs in the night sky, sometimes like a storm, sometimes like thunder.

Every swing was accompanied by the screams of the county soldiers and the sound of weapons falling to the ground.

The assault troops behind him were no less impressive. They worked closely together, outnumbered the enemy, and displayed extraordinary combat skills and tenacious fighting spirit.

But the number of county soldiers had an absolute advantage after all, and their offensive was as continuous as a tide.

Although Sun Wukong and the assault force were extremely brave, casualties were inevitable.

And under the human wave tactics of Qingshan County soldiers, the number of casualties is still rising!

The blood gradually dyed the ground red, and the air at the city gate was filled with a strong smell of blood.

At this critical moment of life and death, a rumbling sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the deep forest in the distance of Qingshan County.

In the distance, a huge figure gradually emerged in the night.

As the sound of horse hooves got closer, a torrent of iron broke the silence of the night.

They advanced in unison like a Great Wall of Steel, their armor gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Every soldier gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes firm and sharp, as if he had foreseen the upcoming battle.

In the deep night, the flags of the vanguard army fluttered in the wind, like a beacon in the darkness, pointing the way to victory.

As the cavalry charged, the sounds of drums and trumpets intertwined together, shocking the people.

The arrival of the vanguard army instantly changed the situation on the battlefield and brought unprecedented pressure to everyone in Qingshan County.

Sun Wukong was delighted that the vanguard army led by Qin Qiong had finally arrived!

"charge!"

With the arrival of the vanguard cavalry, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.

They rushed into the enemy camp like a torrent, unstoppable.

Under this huge impact, the county soldiers retreated one after another and their formation collapsed instantly.

"General Sun, go ahead!"

When the vanguard army's cavalry passed the assault troops and charged straight into the Qingshan County soldiers on the battlefield.

A cavalryman stopped beside Sun Wukong and threw the Ruyi Jingu Bang in his hand to him.

"Haha! Thank you very much!"

"Follow me, Old Sun!"

Sun Wukong took the Ruyi Jingu Bang, waved it wildly in his hand, and said loudly.

He led the remaining assault troops and followed the cavalry, rushing into the enemy formation like a tiger descending from the mountain, breaking the Qingshan County soldiers' line into pieces.

At the same time, the large Cangzhou army led by Qin Qiong also officially joined the battlefield.

They poured into the county town like a flood, forcing Qingshan County into a desperate situation.
