Chapter 30: Fierce battle in the siege

Sikong Wu was a little puzzled. It seemed that Qiu Lianshan and Ren Zizhen had already confirmed that the Jingtie Mine would fall, otherwise the news of the existence of the ancient tomb would not have been leaked in advance.

However, Lei Meng also believes that this is the case. On the surface, it looks similar to the ancient earth, but in fact, soul power can achieve countless incredible miracles in ancient earth.

If it was the era of Earth's cold weapons, it would be impossible for three thousand people to conquer the same number of cities with strict defense. At least there must be more than three times the number of soldiers guarding the city. However, here, this rule does not apply. The advantage of powerful individual force largely makes up for the shortcomings of the number of people. Just like the modern Earth, in front of powerful weapons such as aircraft and cannons, the advantages of the city wall can basically be ignored.

It is impossible for the Black Knoll City to attack the bandit coalition forces with all their might. If the bandits were prepared to feint the Jingtied Mine to lure the soldiers of Black Knoll City out of the city, and suddenly turn around and attack the Black Knoll City halfway, the people who suffer the loss are the people of Black Knoll City.

Therefore, after the truth of Qiu Lianshan and Ren Zi were founded, they reported the news to Sikong Wu in advance. In addition, they also wanted to use Sikong Ba's strength to break the two demon corpses guarding the entrance of the inner tomb and take away the treasures in the tomb.

Afterwards, Qiu Lianshan took Sikong Wu and Lei to the entrance of the ancient tomb and said things to pay attention to and dangerous areas, so as not to be divided once the battle begins and cannot retreat into the ancient tomb at the same time.

However, if you really want to decide the outcome, no matter the Black Hornman and the Bandit leader, you know that it is a situation where both sides suffer. If the bandits have a choice, they will definitely not be willing to forcefully bite the two hard bones of Jing Iron Mine and Black Horn City. They are all dispatched now because of the Blue Moon Empire!

Every powerful Martial Saint who serves in the empire and obeys the orders of the empire are all major members of the guardian side. Xun Ya Wusheng is the general of the Blue Moon Empire. This time he secretly went to the border bandits' nest. If he stayed for too long, if someone found out that he left the guarding place, it might cause chaos. He saw that the bandit coalition was unintentional and sent someone to send orders. If the bandits did not capture Heijiao City within ten days, they would kill the relatives of the bandits' nest!

Zhu Tian and others could not have imagined that Xun Ya was so ruthless, but they dared not doubt Xun Ya's determination. After all, the other party was the peak powerhouse in this world. The fifth-level martial immortal was just a legendary figure. He was also the overlord of the guardian side of the Blue Moon Empire. He spoke without any silence. Once the bandits could not complete the task, they would definitely take action. Therefore, Zhu Tian and others were helpless and asked for support from the Blue Moon Empire soldiers, and then sent troops to the Jing Iron Mine, preparing to take down the Jing Iron Mine first, replenish the weapons, and then attack Heijiao City.

As the bandits approached step by step, the situation finally clearly fell into the eyes of everyone in Jing Iron Mine.

The troops with more than three thousand people seemed to have little discipline, and they obviously separated a lot of queues, and they did not raise flags like real troops. They were all cavalry and there were many kinds of mount monsters under their seats. Despite this, the murderous aura that soared into the sky was enough to make people know the cruelty and terribleness of this unit.

There are few people in the bandits who have less than ten lives. It can be said that any one of them joins the army and can be compared with the veterans with a little training.

What really made Ren Zizhen and others worry were the huge siege chariots in the center of the bandit team. These chariots were as high as three meters and weighed more than 10,000 kilograms. The main components were forged from fine steel, and were dragged and moved forward slowly by dozens of giant elephants carrying mountains. The siege coalition was slow because of these siege chariots.

Ren Zi really didn't know how these giant siege cars crossed the imperial border cordon and transported them here. Although there was no Blue Moon mark of the Blue Moon Empire, both style and size were the same as those of the giant siege cars of the Blue Moon Empire. The bandits who protected the giant siege cars around were strict in discipline. It was obviously the soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire who were mixed into the Qingtian Empire.

Of course, since these soldiers appeared here, they would be determined to die regardless of the battle situation between Heijiao City and Jingtien Mine. They are different from the bandits and their personal strength is insufficient. If the bandits feel inappropriate, they can still rely on their speed advantage to retreat to the dense forest of Chongshan. These small number of soldiers from the Blue Moon Empire are difficult to leave. The bandits will not slow down and take them to escape in critical moments.

Because of this, these Blue Moon Empire soldiers launched an attack, which was absolutely extremely fierce.

The Qintian Empire naturally also has equipment such as siege giant chariots, but it is not as good as the half-Heaven weapons such as the Blue Moon Empire that have been blessed by soul power. Only some emperors and cities are equipped. Naturally, there are no siege giant chariots in Black Horn City and the Jing Iron Mine. Although there are a small number of catapults, the weight and range of the catapults are far inferior to the opponent's siege giant chariots.

If Jingtik Mine has an absolute advantage in its strength, it can naturally take the initiative to destroy the opponent's siege giant cart. Now it can only watch the opponent set up a formation, the siege giant cart adjust its direction, and be ready to launch an offensive at any time.

Two thousand soldiers had been sent to Heijiao City, but thirty miles away from the bandit coalition, it was not that they could not keep up with the speed of the bandit coalition, but that Qiu Pojun was afraid that the bandit coalition would suddenly come, so he could only stay outside. When the battle between the bandit coalition and Jingtie Mine became fierce, the bandits could not withdraw and then launched an attack outside.

Sikong Wu and others knew the arrangement of the Black Hornman, and knew that the next thing they could only rely on the three thousand soldiers and miners to resist the attack of the bandit coalition!

The huge siege cart required ten giants who integrated brute force soul beasts to control it. After adjusting the direction and angle, Jingtie Mine did not give Jingtie Mine much time to deal with it. Three huge iron balls that were embracing the two of them had already roared up and smashed towards the gate of Jingtie Mine.

Sikong Wu's heart tightened. He watched the dark iron ball roaring and falling ten meters away from the city wall. A loud bang made a loud bang, and a cracked hole that was so high that it broke out on the ground. The extremely hard rocks were smashed to pieces. He couldn't help but take a breath. If the iron ball hits a person, wouldn't it be easy to smash the person into pieces?

Fortunately, these iron balls are not very fast. As long as you are prepared, those with cultivation like Sikong Wu can easily dodge.

Not only did Sikong Wu change his face, but the soldiers guarding the city walls also changed their faces and miners, and their eyes were extremely frightened. For these soldiers, the iron ball could not be avoided or resisted, and they could only pray that the iron ball would not fall down at them.

The iron ball weighing thousands of pounds actually bounced up and hit the city wall hard. The entire section of the city wall vibrated, and then the iron ball rolled out.

The first iron ball of the Blue Moon Empire was just a test attack. After discovering the landing point, it moved up a few points. This time, five or six iron balls shot out at the same time, making a dull whistle sound. Three of the iron balls hit the wall rightly, and dust suddenly rolled, rocks collapsed, and a large city wall was smashed to pieces.

An iron ball fell above the city wall and then rolled violently outward. Suddenly, five or six soldiers could not dodge and were smashed into pieces by the iron ball, shattered and shattered. They died of a life without even shouting.

Two of the soldiers were rubbed by iron balls, and their hands and feet were broken, and their screams continued, causing the morale of the soldiers in Jingtien Mining to plummet.

Qiu Lianshan's face also changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Uncle Ren, what should I do now? Let the other party project. I'm afraid it won't be able to support it for long. Why not launch a giant crossbow and fight back?"

Ren Zizhen shook his head and said, "It's useless. The siege giant cart is more than two hundred feet away here. Using a giant crossbow at such a distance may hurt ordinary soldiers and is of no use to the siege giant cart. Unfortunately, there is no Cloud-Punched Crossbow here, otherwise it would be these guys from the Blue Moon Empire's turn to rage!"

Lei Meng nodded and said, "The Cloud-Tuning God Crossbow can naturally attack the opponent. It is not surprising that these giant siege cars are destroyed. This is not the territory of the Blue Moon Empire. Although I don't know how they transported several giant siege cars here, I think there are not many iron balls, so this offensive cannot last for long. I am afraid that I just want to destroy a piece of our city wall so that I can launch an offensive."

After the siege cart throws it, it will take about ten breaths to re-project it. After all, it takes a lot of time to carry iron balls weighing thousands or tens of thousands of pounds.

If two armies confront each other, the giant siege chariots will usually be launched in echelons, but now the Jingtik Mine does not have the power to fight back. Several catapults made overnight attack less than two hundred feet away. In addition, their giant siege chariots are not large, making it difficult to form echelons to launch. Therefore, the soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire do not need to consider this and launch them at the same time, which can further enhance the destructive power of the iron ball to the city wall.

Sure enough, Lei Meng was right. The amazing iron ball was thrown five times in a row and finally replaced it with the rocks collected nearby. The bandit coalition, led by several robber leaders, finally launched an offensive, and there was no tentative attack. It was directly pressing over by the large army.

Among the five bandit leaders, four were of the Martial Emperor's cultivation level, and Zhu Tian, ​​the leader, was even an eighth-grade Martial Emperor. However, he did not join the battle and left behind 500 bandits to guard against the offensives from behind.

The soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire were extremely skilled in controlling the siege chariots, with an amazing accuracy. The iron ball basically landed on the city wall within a hundred meters of the city gate, and had smashed the wooden gate wrapped in iron to pieces.

Ren Zizhen watched the bandits roaring and roaring on various ferocious beasts, and his face turned cold. He finally issued a reaction order. More than a dozen catapults were shot out of countless pounds of gravel, and the crossbow also shot out quickly. From time to time, the bandits rushing were hit by stones or shot by giant crossbows and fell to the ground.

The distance of two hundred feet was actually not far. In the blink of an eye, the bandits had already reached the wall. The three bandits who had burst out with dazzling light showed a ferocious look in their eyes. They rushed in front of the bandits and rushed towards the gap in the city gate.

The attacks of the bandits were not very dense, but there were not many soldiers guarding the city gate near the city gate. If they were too dense, they would be hit by the opponent's iron ball, which would cause dozens or hundreds of casualties. Now they were replaced with stones. Although they did not have the power of the iron ball, the stones fell to the ground and exploded and the gravel flew four times. For ordinary soldiers, it was a threat to the more powerful iron balls.

Therefore, the more than a hundred warriors and martial artist soldiers guarding near the city gate could not withstand the joint impact of the three powerful martial emperors. Ren Zizhen and Lei Meng looked at each other, shouted loudly, drew out their weapons, and led the soldiers behind to fight over!

At this time, the giant siege cart of the Blue Moon Empire had stopped projecting, and the stones had no eyes. The two armies were close to each other, and the projection would only lead to both losses, which would be even more disadvantageous for the bandits.

Sikong Wu Qiu Lianshan had already heard Lei Meng Renzi's real advice that he would not find the other party's powerful Wu Emperor. He immediately slapped the silver-toothed giant elephant, raised the cloud-splitting spear, and rushed to the battlefield under the escort of Han Yun and others.

His strength has increased greatly now, and he can completely compare with the sixth-grade peak warrior. Under the escort of several personal bodyguards, he can support him for a period of time even if he encounters the seventh-grade martial emperor. Therefore, Lei Meng agreed to Sikong Wu to participate in the battle.

Of course, this is also the result of Sikong Wu's strong demand. During the battle, he found that whether it is the Golden Bell Cover or the Cloud Cover, the progress is much faster than Jingxin's practice. He had previously broken through the realm of the second-grade warrior and the second-level golden bell Cover. How could Sikong Wu give up such a combat opportunity!

In the siege, there are actually not many tactics. As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. The soldiers under the city walls keep dropping rolling stones and wood, boiling golden juice and oil, killing away the bandits who intend to climb up the top of the city. In addition, the main target of the giant crossbow is the martial artist who flies in the air!

Compared with the air power, Jingtien Mine is naturally far from being as strong as the bandits who are much stronger than their overall strength.

Because bandits with flying soul beasts are often more likely to escape the encirclement of the Emperor* team. Over time, the proportion of bandits with flying is quite high. These two thousand bandits actually have hundreds of bandits with flying soul beasts.

There were not many giant crossbows in this section of the city wall. Hundreds of flying bandits rushed down at all costs. Although they were shot down by the giant crossbow, they destroyed the giant crossbows in a few shocks. Then they gathered together and easily occupied a section of the city wall.

The soldiers on Jingtie Mine kept coming, but unfortunately the enemy was much stronger than them and could not drive them off the city wall. Many bandits climbed up along the city wall, and in a moment they climbed up the city wall, which was five or six feet high, and started a hand-to-hand battle with the soldiers of Jingtie Mine Mine on the city wall.

Near the city gate, although Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen took the soldiers and took advantage of the terrain to mount the other side outside, looking at the battle of the city wall, once more bandits occupy the attack position, the fall of the city gate is only a matter of time.

Originally, how did Ren Zizhen estimate that he could withstand it for a long time, but now he found that the strength of the bandits was still above his estimate. With the help of the giant siege cart from the Blue Moon Empire, he had already taken the initiative in just half an hour.

If the other three Martial Emperor bandits were not concerned about each other and would not fight against Lei Meng Ren Zizhen to the death, so as not to force Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen to fight with their lives, deliberately weakening the attack momentum here and just waiting for the other bandits to come, otherwise Lei Meng and the others would not be able to support this long time.

Although everyone has seventh-level cultivation, it is normal for the difference in strength due to the differences in cultivation skills, personal understanding, weapons and other factors. For example, Lei Meng firmly controlled the iron-armed black ape Peng Linyu and Wei Zhuoning of the Manshui Gang. Although there were two robber leaders who did not want to fight to the death, it was enough to show that Lei Meng was sharp.

The old man with a colorful giant leopard appeared outside, and there was a slight dragon-like appearance, with a phantom of a giant leopard that was ten feet long. As the claw shadows waving, bursts of lightning burst out, crackling sounds.

Peng Linyu changed into a half-human and half-monkey form, with black arms and shiny hair, and a vicious black ape shadow was shrouded outside his body, and he was still forced into danger by the giant leopard. If it weren't for joining forces with Wei Zhuoning's changing Mangniu, he would have been taken down by Lei Meng long ago.

Ren Zizhen's opponent is Feng Dongrou, the only woman among the five major bandit leaders. Of course, this woman's strength is not inferior to Peng Linyu and Wei Zhuoning. She has changed into a half-human and half-wolf form. Her body emits a miserable white soul power, and there is no trace of female characteristics. She keeps roaring and fighting fiercely with Ren Zizhen.

Among the five major robbers, Jin Hanjiang of the Iron Blood Gang and Ma Tianfeng are the sixth-grade peak warriors. The two are brothers of the same sect. First, Jin Hanjiang formed the Iron Blood Gang, and then Ma Tianfeng defected to the senior brother and became the deputy leader of the Iron Blood Gang. Although they are not of the Martial Emperor's cultivation, they have a special set of combined attack skills that can enhance their strength exponentially. Moreover, they are both flying soul masters, so Jin Hanjiang can have a place in this inability to bandits.

Now Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen are both entangled. Jin Hanjiang and Ma Tianfeng do not need to join forces to attack the soldiers on the city wall. They soon rushed into the city wall. Wherever they supported the blood and flesh, countless soldiers from Heijiao City and Qin Tiancheng were killed by their hands, which was more threatening than Wei Zhuoning and others.

As the battle progressed, countless soldiers fell in pools of blood, screaming and screaming. The soldiers of Black Point City who lacked combat experience and the even more unbearable miners finally felt fearful. They dared to intercept Jin Hanjiang and Ma Tianfeng, who were like killing gods in the area.

Sikong Wu led a few personal guards to rush among the bandits, and his momentum was extremely strong. More than fifty bandits were killed by Sikong Wu and others. At this time, he saw many soldiers from Jin Hanjiang and Ma Tianfeng who were besieging the Iron Blood Gang to retreat. The remaining Qin Tiancheng soldiers were constantly being massacred by the other party. Sikong Wu's eyes heated up and couldn't help but shout, and he drove the Silver Tooth Giant Elephant to kill Jin Hanjiang and others regardless of the danger!
