Duguyu is still sleeping soundly. Shen Yifeng naturally doesn't want to wake her up. Now that he is back, of course he will not let his woman worry about such bloody and desperate things. Therefore, he wants Duguyu to have a good rest. . He will naturally take over what Dugu Yu wants to do.
First, I went to see Dugu Ba. After chatting for a while, I went to the military camp with Dugu Ba, and then smoothly took over the command of the thousand elite divisions.
Looking at the thousand people in front of him with satisfaction, Shen Yifeng turned to look at Dugu Ba and asked: "Grandpa, are there any candidates for these thousand people?"
"Yes, we are training. There are still 500 candidates in the imperial capital." Dugu Ba said.
"Are there enough arrows for the crossbow?" Shen Yifeng continued to ask.
"It will take at least ten days." Duguba said, "But after ten days, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult."
"Ten days should be enough!" Shen Yifeng thought for a while and said, "Do you also have telescopes?"
"We have all of those." Duguba nodded: "With these things, we can easily control the enemy's movements. In this regard, we do have an advantage."
Of course, these advanced war tools only exist in the Dugu family, and other armies in the imperial capital do not have these advanced tools. This is not because Dugu Ba is stingy, but to always preserve these advantages to avoid being obtained by the enemy.
Shen Yifeng chatted with Dugu Ba for a while, and then left with the thousand crossbow troops.
Outside Xuanyuan City, Tang Guoao's army began to launch a frantic attack on Xuanyuan City at dawn.
At the west gate of the imperial capital, West Governor Liu Yuntong led the Imperial Guards of the West Governor, who had only 10,000 people left, in a tight formation, trying their best to guard the safety of the west gate of Xuanyuan City.
Outside the city at the head of the Ximen City, the enemy's 50,000-strong army had already assembled and arrived at the city in a mighty manner. The 5,000 elite soldiers at the front were already charging forward with ladders.
"Send the order and prepare thunderous rocks and rolling wood. No one is allowed to attack without my order." Liu Yuntong was holding a telescope given to him by the Dugu family in his hand and was watching every move of the enemy general in the distance. Pay attention to the various orders issued by the enemy general.
With this telescope, he can know the enemy's deployment situation one step ahead and make the most accurate arrangement. If it weren't for the fact that his son Liu Zhijie had already devoted himself to Dugu Ba's Mad Lion Army, Liu Yuntong would not have been able to get the Such an amazing telescope.
At this time, Liu Yuntong no longer had any worries, because his son Liu Zhijie was already in the Mad Lion Legion and at the border of the empire. At this time, in his opinion, that should be the safest place.
Now that his son is safe, he no longer has any worries. He has made a decision to live or die with the imperial capital.
Five thousand enemy siege vanguards were charging rapidly towards the west gate of Xuanyuan City. The long ladder had reached the bottom of the city wall and they were ready to attack.
As long as the ladder is set up and the first batch of enemy troops rush up, a large number of powerful warriors from the Sky Eagle Sect will immediately rush to the top of the city using the ladder and the convenience of the soldiers attacking from the front. Once these powerful warriors are When warriors rush into the city, the soldiers defending the city will immediately fall into panic, and Xuanyuan City will definitely be captured soon.
In a war, strategy is certainly important, but morale is often even more important.
At this time, among the four gates of Xuanyuan City, the west gate is undoubtedly the easiest to capture, because Liu Yuntong only has these 10,000 imperial guards in his hands.
A long ladder has been put up on the city wall, and the enemy troops below the city head have begun to bravely climb up the ladder without fear of death. At the same time, a long city ramming vehicle has also carried a huge log and begun to crash into the city gate.
.
"attack!"
Liu Yuntong knew that it was time to attack, so he gave the order to attack without hesitation.
He could actually issue an attack order in advance, but if he did that, he would waste a lot of tools for defending the city. At this time, in Xuanyuan City, there were not many war tools left for defending the city. In order to use as much as possible
To defend the city for a long time, Liu Yuntong could only try to reduce the loss of war equipment and make full use of these tools to block the enemy.
Rolling logs and huge stones were thrown down from the bottom of the city. Amidst the shouts of killing, the enemy troops attacking the city suffered heavy casualties, but they still continued to attack without fear of death.
It was obvious that Tang Guoao didn't care about the casualties of his men at all now, he only wanted to capture Xuanyuan City.
He has half a million elite troops outside the city, and one million troops from the Sky Eagle Empire coming to support him. At the same time, he can also forcibly recruit manpower from all around to replenish his troops. In this case, such casualties
In his opinion, it was nothing at all.
He doesn't care how many people die, he only cares about one, taking Xuanyuan City as soon as possible and winning!
The battle was extremely fierce. Under the enemy's fearless charge, an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Under the Ximen City, the enemy abandoned thousands of corpses and retreated. The first wave of attacks was over.
Liu Yuntong turned his head and looked at the thunder stones, rolling logs and arrows prepared on the top of the city, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
The enemy troops launched one wave of attacks after another, and Liu Yuntong's preparations for defense were running low. If this continued, the west gate of the imperial capital might not be able to hold on for a few more days.
After a short rest, twenty minutes later, the enemy's second wave of attack came again.
This time, the enemy's attack was obviously much more fierce than the last time. An army of 10,000 people rushed towards the Ximen City like a tide. Aerial ladders were quickly set up on the top of the city, rushing towards the city.
Beside the car, a full two hundred people pushed huge logs and began to violently crash into the city gate.
Watching the enemy troops below the city begin to climb the ladders one after another to attack the city, Liu Yuntong hurriedly ordered the soldiers defending the city to resist with all their strength and prevent any enemy troops from rushing to the top of the city.
However, what Liu Yuntong didn't expect was that the soldiers attacking the city were extremely fierce. They didn't care at all how heavy the casualties were. They rushed towards the bottom of the city wall one after another, and one after another took advantage of the situation.
Climb up the ladder to the top of the city.
The most terrible thing is that this time, the people on both sides of the city-rushing vehicle pushed by the enemy were not ordinary soldiers. Those people were obviously warriors who had cultivated the power of heaven and were very powerful.
These people pushed the city car and tried their best to ram the city gate. Although the city gate was extremely strong, due to the efforts of these warriors, some clear cracks had appeared around the city gate.
Obviously, if the collision continues like this, even if the city gate will not be breached, it will be directly washed away.
Once the city gate is captured by the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
At the gate of the city, the city ramming carts crashed into the city gate one after another, and on top of the city, dense rain of arrows were shooting at them overwhelmingly. The warriors pushing the city ramming carts were divided into two teams at this time, one of which
The other team was responsible for blocking arrow attacks, while the other team still tried its best to use the city ramming vehicle to ram the city gate. The loud sound of the logs hitting the city gate made the faces of the soldiers guarding the city look a little ugly.
.
"Quickly, send five hundred people to the top of the city. Try to use big rocks to smash them down. Even if you can't kill the people on both sides of the city-carrying car, you must block the road of the city-carrying car for me, and you can't let the city-carrying car pass.
Keep charging at the city gate like this!" Liu Yuntong gave the order somewhat eagerly.
"Yes!" Beside him, a deputy general hurriedly agreed, then immediately turned and left.
Liu Yuntong knew that this arrangement might still not be able to defend the west gate, so he loudly ordered to another lieutenant behind him: "Go quickly, tell General Dugu the battle situation on the west gate right away, so that the other side can hurry up."
I am sending strong warriors to support you, and I am saying that the enemy is gathering a large number of powerful warriors to attack the city gate. If this continues, the west gate may not be able to be defended."
"yes!"
The deputy general behind him responded and hurriedly turned around and left.
"Attack them all, and no matter how hard you try, you can't let the enemy troops charge to the top of the city!" Liu Yuntong looked at the densely packed enemy troops charging towards the city wall below the city head, and loudly gave orders to the soldiers around him.
"Leave it to me to deal with the enemy troops and city ramming vehicles at the gate of the city. You only need to stop these enemy troops climbing the ladders to attack the city!"
Just as Liu Yuntong hurriedly issued the order, a voice sounded behind him.
After being slightly stunned, Liu Yuntong hurriedly turned his head. When he saw the person appearing behind him, he couldn't help but reveal a strong look of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect at all that at this critical moment,
At that time, he actually saw a person he didn't expect to appear here at all.
This person is none other than Shen Yifeng.
Behind Shen Yifeng, there are a thousand well-equipped and well-trained soldiers. Each of these soldiers looks energetic and bright-eyed, and you can tell at a glance that this is a group of extremely powerful soldiers.
"You're back!" Liu Yuntong looked at Shen Yifeng and said in surprise.
"Yes, I'm back." Shen Yifeng nodded, and then said: "Just leave the west gate to me. Don't worry, I won't let the gate be in any danger."
"Okay!" Liu Yuntong did not doubt Shen Yifeng's words at all, because he knew that Shen Yifeng was very powerful, and he also knew that the thousand people behind Shen Yifeng also had extremely strong fighting power. With these thousand people participating in the battle, he knew
, Ximen can definitely be saved.
Without any hesitation, he mobilized the soldiers at the top of Ximen City to support other places. The area at the top of Ximen City was completely handed over to Shen Yifeng for defense.
