The stone bullets that came through the air continued to penetrate the green energy and landed on the city wall. For the defenders, this level of attack was nothing. Even if the stone bullets fell towards them, this kind of energy was cut away by the green energy.
The powerful stone bullets can be easily blocked by the defenders who have practiced the art of visualization.
But for those people who were driven against the city walls, such powerful stone bullets would be enough to shatter them into pieces.
The emotion of fear continued to spread. Even under the threat of the defenders around them, these people would still show panic, or some simply wanted to escape, but were shot with arrows by the defenders around them.
"Behead those who escape before the battle!" On the top of the noisy city, there were generals who from time to time beheaded Qing Zhuang who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape. At the same time, there were also the wails of Qing Zhuang who was injured after the stone bullets fell to the ground.
Emotions are contagious, especially among groups. Even if these civilians are weak in the eyes of the defenders, they are in the same group at the moment, and the emotions of the civilians will inevitably be transmitted to these soldiers.
After all, there are frightened and panicked people all around, and it is easy to be led astray when you are among them.
The green air at the top of the city became more and more intense. Xin Pi's eyes flashed with joy, Jinyang City can be defended!
But as the ladders were erected on the city wall, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's troops began to attack the city, and some evil consequences became apparent.
Xinpi paid too much attention to the amount of green energy, so he did not hesitate to use extreme means to squeeze out public opinion, but the result was that people were everywhere on the city wall. When the ladder was put up on the city wall, there were many places where people were nearby, and there were no
The soldiers guarding the city and the surrounding soldiers had to push aside the people to defend.
At the same time, the military formation that was already difficult to display on the city wall became even more difficult now. There were people in all directions, but not everyone could form a formation. Many people were caught in the middle, and the soldiers could not find their position even if they wanted to form a formation.
A Guanzhong soldier rushed up with a knife in his mouth. He was stunned when he saw the crowd of people spreading. Then he saw a spear stabbing him in the chest and abdomen. The second man who followed him was also stunned.
The soldier who wanted to assassinate him was about to stab him again when a young man next to him suddenly kicked him in the crook of his leg. This kind of attack was nothing to the soldier who had already practiced the method of visualization.
, but the aim of the spear was gone, and it was stabbed close to the soldier's face.
The soldier also reacted, grabbed the spear and cut it off with a knife, then roared and rushed towards the crowd without hesitation. At this time, there was no way out, he could only fight hard. He was already prepared to be attacked by the blade.
preparation.
However, the fierce battle that was imagined did not occur. The people around him dispersed in a hurry and crowded in all directions crazily.
"Go away!" The defenders who were squeezed into the crowd angrily tried to get these damn untouchables to get out of the way, but to no avail, they quickly drew their swords and slashed, killing several people before killing the surrounding people.
Guanzhong Jun was a little speechless. He had been fighting for a lifetime and it was the first time he saw such a scene. However, he was not as troubled as the other party. As an enemy, these people naturally ran away when they saw him, leaving a lot of space around him.
Seeing that the defender was already in a state of random killing, he saw the right moment and cut off one of the opponent's arms with a knife, and then wiped the opponent's neck with the knife.
The garrison officer killed more than a dozen of his own people in a row. Facing the enemy who was gathering momentum, he had no time to resist and was killed with a single sword.
In just this moment, two people had already climbed up the city wall, and quickly formed a small formation with the first person to guard the entrance and respond to the steady stream of soldiers rushing up.
The same scene was played out in many places. Simpi miscalculated. Although he used these young men as hostages and squeezed the city's public opinion, the people's resentment was even greater.
These young men who were driven into the city not only failed to help defend the city, but even in the chaos, many of them acted against the defenders. Some even tried to take advantage of the chaos to escape back to the city, but were blocked by those who were guarding the rear.
The soldiers were beheaded.
Although the opponent does not have the strength of the military formation, it is difficult for them to open the military formation, and these young men who were supposed to be a help have now become a burden. The green energy to protect the city is strong, but in a head-on battle with the enemy, even if both sides
The soldiers' fighting power was almost the same, but they were also at a disadvantage. Many soldiers who were trapped in the crowd died inexplicably in the crowd before they even had time to show their strength.
However, as more and more people climbed up the city wall, the enemy's morale gradually increased.
Xinpi looked at this scene and closed his eyes in pain. Although he had a strategy, he was a counselor rather than a mastermind like Chen Gong. Chen Gong could both make plans and command the three armies, but Xinpi was just a good counselor.
That's all.
Overly concerned about the green energy of protecting the city transformed from public opinion, but ignored the most fundamental problem. A large number of people were driven into the city, which would turn the originally elite soldiers into a rabble.
Chen Gong saw this and decisively asked Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to attack the city.
The reality was just as Chen Gong expected, the defenders fell into serious internal strife.
On the tower, seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Gao Gan and Guo Yuan rushed to Xin Pi's side frantically, hissing: "Sir, we can't hold on any longer."
"Withdraw the troops!" Simpi naturally saw it too. Although he had never actually led an army, he had read the Art of War. Even if he had not read it, he was helpless at the sight before him.
Immediately taking senior officials with him, Guo Yuan issued a retreat order.
The defenders were relieved. It was really uncomfortable to feel like they were stuck in a quagmire in a sea of people. As soon as they got the call to retreat, they quickly retreated into the city.
"Guo Yuan!" After Xinpi got off the city, he looked at the crowds that were swarming down. A stern look flashed in his eyes. He had calculated for a long time. Not only did he fail to defend Jinyang, but he also caused a lot of public resentment. Now that he is leaving, this public resentment
We have to find a way to solve it.
"Sir, please evacuate first. If anything happens, wait until it's safe." Guo Yuan advised.
"You order people to disperse into the city and set fires everywhere to stop the enemy. Even if Jinyang City is lost, it will never make things easier for the enemy!" Xinpi said solemnly.
In this way, he can not only alleviate the public resentment on his own body, but also block the enemy's pursuit through fire.
"Here!" Guo agreed without hesitation, and immediately arranged for people to set fires everywhere in the city. At this time, Jinyang City had fallen. After their previous actions, the people of this city could no longer support them, and there was no need to have any scruples.
.
At that moment, several groups of men and horses dispersed and set fire everywhere.
Of course, the people did not want their property to be burned down in a fire and wanted to stop it, but these soldiers held a resentment in their hearts, but if anyone stopped them, they would immediately chop them down.
In these days, most houses were made of wood, and when burned, they could spread everywhere if there was a slight breeze. Soon, the entire Jinyang City was filled with thick smoke, mixed with the cries of the people.
Xin Pi rushed out of the city gate with his troops, but just as he left the city, he saw a group of troops blocking the outside of the city, already waiting in formation. Under the command of the Central Army Commander, Chen Gong looked at the city with a gloomy expression.
Thick smoke.
"kill!"
At this moment, Xin Pi and others had no way out. Only by passing the level of Chen Palace could they have a chance to survive. At that moment, Gao Gan and Guo Yuan formed a formation and rushed towards Chen Palace.
"Xinpi, you set fire to the city and wasted no time on the lives of thousands of people. You should be punished!" Chen Gong slowly opened his eyes, with a brush in his hand. A little green energy lingered on the tip of the pen, and he quickly wrote the word "风".
"Fire the arrow!"
As Chen Gong spoke, the word wind dispersed. In the originally windless weather, a sudden gust of wind passed by. The arrow array was blessed by the wind, and its speed increased sharply. Chen Gong's pen moved like a dragon and snake, and he wrote another word "profit", towards
The previous point.
Countless arrows clustered in the astonished eyes of Gao Gan and Guo Yuan, and shot through their military formation easily. Even the strong shields could not block the sharp blade falling from the sky, and the soldiers who rushed into the formation fell in pieces.
There began to be commotion in Yuan Jun's military formation, and some people began to leave the military formation.
Xinpi stared in the direction of Chen Gong, wondering what the other party's method was? It didn't look like a magical power. He could feel the violent fluctuations of Haoran's energy. Is this the method of a great scholar?
Xin Pi was unsure, but now was not the time to take this into consideration. He immediately wanted to use the power of the battle formation to bless the soldiers of the three armies. However, a sense of stagnation caused the awe-inspiring energy in his body to collapse several times, and he was unable to mobilize it.
Public resentment!
Xinpi gritted his teeth. The public resentment seemed to be getting stronger. Without the blessing of the green energy of the city protector, the public resentment had to be carried by himself. He tried hard to mobilize the awe-inspiring energy, but he was still unable to use any of his abilities.
"Pfft~"
With the fire burning in his heart, Xin Pi somehow felt his throat feel sweet, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his face quickly turned pale.
Public resentment backfires!?
There was a look of horror in Xin Pi's eyes, and his aura of awe was rapidly dissipating, and even the aura of awe began to turn into a stream of yin energy flowing through his body.
The grievances of thousands of people have completely replaced public opinion. The aspirations of the people can achieve twice the result with half the effort. In the hands of outstanding Confucian scholars, they can even exert the power to turn corruption into magic.
But when public opinion turns into public resentment, it is a disaster for those who are enveloped by public resentment. Haoran Qi is to offset the public resentment to a certain extent, but this public resentment is so huge that it is so big that someone like Yi Xinpi, who is close to a great Confucian,
The point where even the awe-inspiring spirit accumulated by Confucian scholars cannot be completely offset
These untouchables!
Xinbi turned around and glanced at Jinyang City behind him, which was already shrouded in thick smoke. He cursed fiercely in his heart. Just as he turned around, he saw two figures coming out of the billowing smoke at extremely fast speeds.
Subconsciously, he wanted to open his mouth to use his words, but when he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood gushes out.
As soon as the collar was tightened, someone pulled him up and threw him roughly on the horse. But in this moment, another person had already taken a step faster and charged towards the military formation where the senior cadre was from behind.
It was the opponent's two generals who killed him!
An idea came to Xinpi's mind. Although he knew it was useless, he still roared on the horse with all his strength: "Run away! Run away!"
"
His voice was blown away by the wind on the noisy battlefield. When he raised his eyes to look up, he saw that his own military formation was getting closer and closer to him. How dare these two people come to break into the formation alone!?
The suspicion that the other party was an idiot flashed through Xinpi's mind...
