When the sun was halfway up, groups of soldiers walked out of the camp and slowly advanced towards Diqiu City behind the siege equipment.
At present, the Qin army has an absolute advantage in strength. It does not require many tricks to attack the city. It only needs to be defeated openly and forcefully.
Amidst the sound of military drums, the Qin army lined up and marched neatly under the moat of Diqiu City. The siege vehicles of this era, which were combined with machine skills and formed across the ages, slowly lowered the pontoons on the vehicles and built them on the moat.
Channel after channel.
The defenders of Diqiu City were not idle either. Rockets were shot out from the city wall, trying to ignite the Qin Army's pontoon bridge. In the Qin Army's formation, a heavy siege crossbow had been pushed up and down.
With the cooperation of the arrow array, the defenders of Diqiu City were pinned to the city wall and did not dare to show their heads. Naturally, the so-called plan to burn the Qin Army's pontoon bridge with rockets could no longer be implemented.
As the siege ladders with pulleys were set up under the walls of Diqiu City, the most brutal siege battle in the war really reached the point of close combat.
Suddenly, huge rocks and rolling wood fell from the city wall like splashing water, knocking down the Qin soldiers from the siege ladder one by one. Some of them were seriously injured, and some of them were killed directly.
And the Qin army could not only passively take the beating. The archers who had advanced to the city were also waiting with their bows raised. With the cooperation of the arrow array in the distance, arrows were flying. Every time a huge stone was thrown by the defenders of Diqiu City, every time they pushed out a
Rolling wood will cost you blood and life.
The tragedy was aimed at Shuangmen. Unfortunately, the defenders of Diqiu were not as brave as the Qin army. As Yang Ming said before, although Diqiu City is strong, the only thing that is strong is the city wall, and defending the city requires people to defend it.
Yes, if the human heart is not strong, no matter how strong the city is, it is nothing more than a rotten shell.
Under the Qin army's strong attack, when corpses appeared on the city wall, when blood dominated the sight of the defenders of Diqiu City, when blood dominated their sense of smell, when wailing dominated their hearing, their reason and mentality
It is constantly being devastated and gradually heading toward collapse.
In the main formation of the Qin army, Wang Jian looked at Diqiu City with a look of thought on his eyebrows. He turned to Yang Ming and said, "It seems that General Wei Guo Gongsun Yu is not on the city wall."
"Why do you see it?" Yang Ming asked.
According to the information that Yang Ming has, Gongsun Yu is just a famous swordsman with a very famous disciple and a charming granddaughter. As for the others...
At the moment, it seems that from Wang Jian's words, it can be heard that Gongsun Yu is an extremely extraordinary person. At the very least, he is definitely not just a master of swordsmanship.
"Before I was thirty, I spent ten years traveling around the world, and I also set foot on the land of Weiguo. Although Gongsun Yu is not well-known in other countries, he is a first-class figure in the world in terms of swordsmanship and military skills. I
I once asked him for swordsmanship, and this man's swordsmanship has a vague shadow of the Zongheng swordsmanship of Guigu's disciples." Wang Jian recalled.
"Zongheng swordsmanship? Since Zhang Yi retired to seclusion and Su Qin died in the Qi Kingdom, the Guigu disciples have not appeared. Is it possible that Gongsun Yu is a disciple trained by Zhang Yi after he retired?" Yang Ming said in surprise.
In Yang Ming's ears, he often heard about Guigu's lineage, but this was the first time such a living person appeared in front of him.
Yang Ming flipped through the memories in his mind. It was already the sixth year of King Qin's reign. The contemporary successors of Guigu, including Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, were about to undergo the apprenticeship trial. If Gongsun Yu was also in Guigu,
If there is a direct descendant, it can only be the uncles of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.
In this way, the contemporary Guiguzi is the successor of Hengjian of the previous generation, and since Gongsun Yu has become the general of the small country of Weiguo, he naturally failed in the competition. As for why he is not as good as the predecessors of Guigu's sect in the past generations
There is no need to delve too deeply into the death of ordinary people. After all, similar situations will occur in the future.
However, if Gongsun Yu were a disciple of Guigu from the previous generation, then there might be a slight surprise in this war, but it would only be a small surprise.
The real strength of Guigu's lineage is the ambition and courage to control the world and all countries as pawns. As for martial arts, although they are the best in the world of swordsmanship, in the face of an upright army, the role they can play is limited after all.
"Perhaps, Gongsun Yu was already a first-class swordsman master fifteen years ago. Now fifteen years have passed, although he is no longer at his peak state, but it is not without the possibility of breakthrough. A swordsman master, although he is still
It is not enough to determine the success or failure of a war, but it can be said to add many uncertain variables to a war." Wang Jian said.
"If Gongsun Yu is really as extraordinary as you say, then he should be behind the city gate now. He has gathered a team of elites and is preparing to attack, waiting for an opportunity to attack." Yang Ming
He muttered.
"The morale of Diqiu City cannot be defended. If we can win a small victory, we will have more confidence to defend the city." Wang Jian said.
If he were in front of others, Wang Jian might hide his clumsiness, but in front of Yang Ming, he didn't have to be like this, because he was able to get the opportunity in front of him precisely because of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming made Wang Jian his deputy general not just to hide his weakness.
"In this case, it may not be an opportunity for us. The morale in Diqiu City is difficult to maintain. Gongsun Yu wants to boost morale with a surprise attack. We can also take this opportunity to completely destroy the few defenders of Diqiu City.
morale." Yang Ming said.
But time did not seem to give Yang Ming more opportunities. The closed gate of Diqiu City was instantly opened, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the city, directly killing the attacking Qin army by surprise.
I saw that the leader was a veteran. A long sword in his hand turned into a blood-red angry dragon. As it flew up and down, the Qin army unexpectedly had no enemy against him. In the blink of an eye, the people near the city gate
The Qin army was directly killed by him.
Under the leadership of the veteran general, more than 500 elite cavalry came towards the Qin army's main formation where Yang Ming was located.
"The old guy is still ambitious." Yang Ming looked at Gongsun Yu, who was leading the charge, and said without wavering in his eyes.
"Zonghengjia's Hundred-Step Flying Sword is the ultimate killing move in the world of swordsmanship." Wang Jian reminded.
"So, we can't let him kill within a hundred steps of us?" Yang Ming asked rhetorically.
"If that's the case, there is suspicion of danger." Wang Jian replied.
As the veteran general led five hundred elite cavalry to attack the Qin army outside the city, the morale of the defenders of Diqiu City was greatly boosted, and they were able to suppress the attacking Qin army for a while.
"The opportunity is rare. Since he dares to come out, I dare to keep him. Although the defenders of Diqiu City are useless, after all, the city is high and the pond is deep. If you want to capture it, you will still have to pay a lot of casualties. Now there are forces that can completely disintegrate it.
It would be a pity if the opportunity given by the defenders of Diqiu City is missed." Yang Ming had already mentioned the Canglong Wentian Halberd stuck on the ground as he spoke.
"General Zuo, Gongsun Yu's martial arts skills are unfathomable. He may even be at the level of a grandmaster. Don't be careless. All you need to do is send a large army to surround and kill him. There is no need for General Zuo to personally take action." Wang Jian quickly dissuaded him.
Although Yang Ming's martial arts are powerful, in Wang Jian's view, Yang Ming's martial arts are still at the top level and have not yet set foot in the Grandmaster realm. If he were to face Gongsun Yu head-on at this time, it would be hard to say whether he would win or lose.
At the moment, the Qin army has an absolute advantage, so there is no need to let his general take risks. Staying steady is the right way. So what if Gongsun Yu is a grandmaster? Facing 50,000 Qin army elites, even a grandmaster has to fight.
Drink hate.
But Yang Ming obviously didn't think so.
so.
"General Wang will guard this formation, I will capture Gongsun Yu." Yang Ming said to his left and right. He had already urged his horse forward, and half of the three thousand Chinese army guards surrounding Yang Ming followed Yang Ming.
On the other side, under the heavy pressure of the Qin army, Gongsun Yu, who was facing an increasingly difficult charge, had planned to give up as soon as he was ready. However, when he saw that the Qin army's general took the initiative and left the army's surroundings, he suddenly realized that
An opportunity that might resolve the crisis in the country.
If we can take the opportunity to kill the Qin army general...
In a moment, in the face of the huge temptation, Gongsun Yu had already made up his mind. As for Yang Ming's own martial arts, Gongsun Yu did not think too much about it. He was confident enough in his own martial arts, even if Yang Ming had the ability to kill Wei.
The national general Zhu Hai's record is the best, and the same is true.
However, this time I have to break my oath after all, and the price is my life. Thinking of the oath I made in front of my master and senior brother, a ferocious look appeared on Gongsun Yu's face. It was a kind of
Death Qi is a death Qi directed at the enemy, and it is also a death Qi directed at oneself.
The eyes of the generals of the two armies collided across the distance of space. At that moment, both Yang Ming and Gongsun Yu saw each other's thoughts.
Gongsun Yu greeted him, and a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes closely guarded him, helping Gongsun Yu break out of the Qin army's siege. However, the Qin army that was surrounding Gongsun Yu's troops layer by layer tried their best to stop Gongsun Yu.
Although Yu's subordinates, Gongsun Yu and a few people around him are superb in swordsmanship, the remaining cavalry can only be regarded as ordinary elites. Under the siege of the Qin army, their numbers are constantly being reduced.
Each of the cavalry horses had their legs broken by the Qin Army's long spears, and their bodies were pierced by the Qin Army's spears.
In Yang Ming's sight, only Gongsun Yu was left. In his sight, when he rushed out of the city gate, Gongsun Yu, who had a sharp sword in his hand, no longer drew his sword, but let the few around him use it.
A master shielded himself from the Qin army's attack.
But Gongsun Yu who stopped taking action was even more terrifying. He was not taking action because he was preparing for the next decisive blow. He was accumulating momentum. Once the momentum was fully accumulated, the next blow would definitely be earth-shattering.
Under the Guigu sect, people use their swords to attack others, in order to achieve reality and think they are closed.
At this time, Yang Ming was already convinced that Gongsun Yu must be the previous generation Zongjian successor of Guigu sect.
Hundred-step flying sword?
Yang Ming and the thousands of personal guards around him rushed straight towards Gongsun Yu's troops in a fan shape. A trace of vitality spread around Yang Ming. Yang Ming hung the Canglong Wentian Halberd on his horse, returning the vitality to three points. It was more suitable to use bare hands.
Between Yang Ming and Gongsun Yu, in the collision between San Sangui Yuan Qi and Baibu Feijian, who is stronger and who is weaker?
