Chapter 83 Siege
Early the next morning, Deng Zhong led an army of 200,000 troops to the city.
A few days later, I looked up at this majestic city again. Unlike last time, Deng Zhong wanted to attack the city this time. He wanted to use his strength to tell Jiang Ziya that a strong city could not stop the passion of two hundred thousand soldiers.
The effect of the two hundred thousand troops in his own hands and in the hands of Deng Jiugong were completely different. Deng Jiugong liked to engage in battles with generals in front of the formation, but Deng Zhong was prepared to skip this stage of the war and attack the city directly.
Anyway, the generals under his command are not inferior to those of the Xiqi Army, and he still has an advantage in terms of magic talents.
Xin Huan was very excited and said: "Brother, let's attack the city directly."
Xiqi City is a city that the Ji family has worked hard to manage. It has a population of hundreds of thousands and its geographical location is very important. If this city is captured, the power of the Ji family will be dealt a devastating blow. This is an unparalleled achievement.
Not only Xin Huan was excited, but others were also excited. They were witnessing history. If they could capture Xiqi City today, they would be famous all over the world.
Deng Zhong waved his hand and said, "There's no hurry."
As soon as he finished speaking, the city gate slowly opened, and a group of people surrounded Jiang Ziya and left the city.
Jiang Ziya sat on Sibuxiang, cupped his hands and said: "Please come out and answer Marshal Deng."
On the way to Xiqi, Deng Zhong told his brothers that Lei Zhenzi, one of Jiang Ziya's generals, had a special face, and Zhu Zizhen recognized him at a glance.
When Zhu Zizhen saw so many casualties among his men, he planned to board the city himself.
…
Jiang Ziya said: "So, you have restored face for Marshal Deng."
Jiang Ziya nodded with deep understanding and said: "If we have a decisive battle with Deng Zhong on the plains, I would still be a little wary, but we can defend it with a fortified city. Even if Deng Zhong is unparalleled in intelligence, we will never be able to break through this city."
On the city wall, Nangong Shi and others personally commanded. Wave after wave of arrows fell on the ranks of the merchant army. Many merchant soldiers fell. However, the merchant army was not afraid of death one by one. After paying the price of hundreds of people,
, they had already rushed to the city gate, and Xin Huan directed them to set up ladders and prepare to attack the city.
Xin Huan struck hard, but Huang Feihu blocked it with his spear. As soon as the two weapons came into contact, his jaw went numb and he almost lost his hand. He couldn't believe it and said, "Why has your strength become so great?"
"Uncle Master is right."
Standing on the city wall just now, Jiang Ziya glanced back and forth and did not see Deng Jiugong. He only saw Deng Zhong sitting calmly on his horse. In addition to Xin Huan, Ji Li and others, there were many unfamiliar faces on the left and right.
Chanjiao would definitely not let him break through Xiqi City, but it would be good to scare King Wu and Jiang Ziya. Of course, in addition to scaring them, Deng Zhong planned to take advantage of this battle to kill several of Jiang Ziya's generals.
"You are Lei Zhenzi."
At this moment, Jiang Ziya looked calm. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had already gathered under the city. Anyone could come up to support him at any time. The city looked dangerous, but in fact it was as stable as Mount Tai.
Yang Jian said: "My disciples have noticed that these people have demonic auras on them. They must be some kind of spirit that has transformed into a human form."
Following Deng Zhong's order, 20,000 former troops carried ladders and launched an attack on Xiqi City. The leading generals were Nai Xinhuan, Dai Li, and Zhu Zizhen.
"Third brother, let's take the lead."
"Okay, I'll wait and see."
Xin Huan said: "You didn't expect it, right?"
At this moment, hot golden juice and boulders fell one after another and hit the merchant army hard. Some people reacted quickly and escaped, but those who didn't have time to escape screamed on the spot and fell off the ladder.
"Fire the arrow."
"Arrogant!"
Nezha said: "Uncle Master is right. If Deng Zhong attacks the city, our disciples will definitely hit him hard."
"Take a hit from me."
Zhu Zizhen stared at Lei Zhenzi, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Although he has only been serving Fairy Caiyun for a short period of time and has not refined his magic power yet, the last time he ate dog meat, his strength has increased significantly. He is at least 90% sure about facing Huang Feihu.
Lei Zhenzi held the golden stick in his hand and said, "Who is you?"
"Quickly, shoot me hard."
Last time, he and Xin Huan fought on the battlefield. The two fought for dozens of rounds. He was experienced and stronger than Xin Huan. Xin Huan was unable to defeat him and eventually lost.
Deng Zhongdao: "Marshal Deng's face is certainly important, but the great cause of conquering Qi is even more important. Although Xiqi City is strong and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, I am incompetent. I will lead 200,000 elites to learn from Prime Minister Jiang."
Yang Jian whispered: "Uncle Master, Deng Zhong is not a good person."
The two of them were demons, and the city that was more than ten feet high was like walking on flat ground to them. They turned into a ray of light and quickly landed on the top of the city, fighting with the Xiqi army. This scene undoubtedly shocked the Shang army below the city.
When I was full of breath, I climbed up the ladder one after another.
Jiang Ziya snorted and led the people back into the city.
Deng Zhong said: "Marshal Deng has suffered from the cold and is resting in the camp. Today's battle will be fought by me."
Lei Zhenzi was furious. In the entire business camp, the only person he was afraid of was Deng Zhong. The man opposite him was just a monster, how capable he could be.
In the last battle, the reason why Tai Luan was killed and the female general was injured was because Deng Zhong stood by and watched, otherwise he would not have won so easily.
At first, Wen Taishi only relied on a few senior generals to use strategies to defeat himself. This time there were a few more people, making it even more difficult to deal with. Fortunately, he was only defending the city. Although the enemy was large in number, the advantage could not be fully utilized.
It's not certain yet.
Xin Huan originally wanted to avenge his embarrassment with Lei Zhenzi, but he happened to meet Huang Feihu, and he said murderously: "Huang Feihu, accept your fate!"
"Come on!"
Huang Feihu sneered: "It's up to you!"
Huang Feihu had a stern face. Deng Zhong only sent 20,000 people, but some people had already taken the lead on the city. If all the remaining troops were invested, wouldn't this great city be in danger?
Two hundred thousand people, working hard and mobilized troops, if they can't bring back any victory, I will be sorry for myself, the commander-in-chief of the army.
He was startled and had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he hurried out of the city.
The person in front fell down, but the person behind didn't blink and continued to climb up.
Jiang Ziya said: "Yang Jian, have you noticed those weird-looking people around Deng Zhong?"
This man is Xiqi's innermost enemy. With him commanding 200,000 troops, he poses a great threat to Xiqi.
When Jiang Ziya and the generals of Xiqi heard this, they secretly thought that Deng Zhong was not only superior in martial arts, but also good at strategy. They heard that with his help, the Grand Master had won several battles.
"Two people form a small team, and each team guards a crenel. If an enemy soldier comes up, I will only ask you."
Zhu Zizhen said: "I told you that you don't know me. When you die and enter reincarnation, you can ask Lord Yan directly."
Jiang Ziya looked surprised and said: "I didn't expect that in order to deal with us, the enemy invited evil spirits to help us. How can evil defeat good?"
Huang Feihu hung his sword and commanded the Xiqi army to meet the enemy. Every time a merchant army climbed up, it would be torn into pieces. However, the merchant army was like a fountain, constantly rising up.
Huang Feihu said: "I really didn't expect that, but just because of my strength, I can take revenge."
This is on the city wall. If you are invincible, you can retreat at any time.
Xin Huan said: "Stop talking nonsense and watch the hammer."
The two had a disagreement and started fighting.
