Five hundred and fortieth chapters: The war in Xingyang
"Idiot." Hearing Wang Shiwei's words, Wang Shichong was furious. He slapped him directly. Wang Shiwei was also stunned. However, although his martial arts was better than Wang Shichong's, Wang Shichong did not dare to face Wang Shichong's slap. He dodged and received the slap firmly. He didn't even dare to use his strength to resist. There was a crisp sound. Wang Shiwei immediately had a bright red slap mark on his face.
Wang Shiwei received this slap inexplicably, but he did not dare to say anything about his grievances. He could only lower his head and dare not say a word. After Wang Shichong slapped Wang Shiwei, the anger in his heart calmed down a little, and he snorted coldly. He walked up and down the city with his hands behind his back, thinking about countermeasures. There was no doubt that Li Mi saw something was going wrong, so he started to grease his feet and ran away. Li Mi himself, Wang Shichong, didn't take it to heart at all. What Wang Shichong is most concerned about now is what kind of attitude Dou Jiande has. Will he be like Li Mi? Seeing that Wang Shichong is dying, he kicks Wang Shichong away. For Wang Shichong, this will cut off the last glimmer of hope. .
Wang Shichong had not yet thought of a countermeasure. But Liang Jun outside the city had no intention of waiting any longer. Not long after, he heard the sound of war drums and horns ringing outside the city. Wang Shichong, Liang Sheng, and Wang Shiwei were all startled. Turn I looked towards the outside of the city. I saw a large army surging outside the city. They rushed directly towards this direction. They were planning to attack the city.
"Damn it." Wang Shichong couldn't help but cursed. Although Liang Jun arrived in Xingyang, he would attack the city sooner or later. But since Liang Jun arrived, there has been no movement for three days. Wang Shichong did not expect that Li Mi had just escaped. Liang Jun He launched an attack. Even though Wang Shichong had been mentally prepared for a long time, he couldn't help but cursed at this moment.
But now Liang Jun outside the city has launched an attack. No matter how much Wang Shichong scolds his mother, it doesn't help. He just turned around and shouted: "Come, come, inform Zhang Gongjin. Quick."
Wang Shichong himself was only good at the art of conspiracy. Liang Sheng and other members of the Xiaoyao Sect also only knew the art of fighting. The ability to command battles also relied on real generals like Zhang Gongjin. And then, Wang Shichong also gave orders. All the troops gathered at the top of the city. This time Liang Jun did not choose to besiege the city. Instead, he only attacked the west of the city in front of him. So Wang Shichong simply ordered the remaining 40,000 troops in the city to gather in the west of the city to prepare for Liang Jun's attack.
Before the Liang army outside the city reached the city wall, Zhang Gongjin had already arrived. Seeing that the battle was urgent, Zhang Gongjin did not bother to salute Wang Shichong and directly commanded the Zheng army to defend the city.
Zhang Gongjin is worthy of being a master of strategy. He quickly set up defense lines on the top of the city, ready to deal with Liang Jun's attack. Outside the city, he watched the defenders on the top of the city deploy their defenses. As the commander of Liang Jun, But Pei Renji suddenly waved his hand, ordering the soldiers to stop advancing. Pei Renji looked at the city head meaningfully, his eyes flashing from time to time.
"Father." At this time, Pei Xingyan, who had rushed to the front of the military formation to take the lead, also rushed over on horseback. He asked Pei Renji: "Father, why did you suddenly stop attacking the city?"
Pei Renji pointed forward and said to Pei Xingyan: "Yan'er, you see, the defenders on the city were in disarray before. But in a short period of time, they became so orderly. This shows that there are masters of strategic command on the city. .The stakes in this battle are very important. We cannot take it lightly. Everything must be done with caution."
Pei Xingyan is also a steady person. After hearing what his father said, Pei Xingyan also turned to look at the top of the city and nodded quietly. At the same time, Zhu Muwu also rushed over. After getting the same answer, Zhu Muwu did the same. reaction. The two simply stayed in front of the military formation, waiting for Pei Renji's order.
Pei Renji just stood behind the military formation and carefully observed what was happening on the top of the city. Anyway, the military formation stayed outside the range of the archers on the top of the city. As for the enemy going out to fight out of the city, Pei Renji was even less afraid. Although Wang Shichong's Jiang Huai Jin The soldiers are one of the five most powerful soldiers in the world. But the Liang army is not bad at all, and they have 90,000 troops. Pei Renji still doesn't believe that Wang Shichong is so bold and dares to rush out of the city to fight. Therefore, Pei Renji slowly observes with confidence. At the top of the city.
As time passed bit by bit, it soon passed from morning to noon. All the soldiers at the top of the city were hungry. Many soldiers had not even had time to have breakfast. Some of the defenders at the top of the city also began to loosen up. After all, the Zheng army in the city is not entirely composed of Jianghuai soldiers. It also includes some recruits that Wang Shichong has just recruited. The quality of these recruits is not comparable to Jianghuai soldiers.
At this moment, Pei Renji's eyes lit up. He immediately waved his remaining left arm and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum. Attack the city."
Following Pei Renji's order, the war drums that had been waiting for a long time finally sounded again. As the war drums sounded, Pei Xingyan and Zhu Muwu in front also looked at each other and led their troops to fight again. At the top of the city.
This sudden attack also made the defenders at the top of the city somewhat at a loss. Although following Zhang Gongjin's order, the defenders at the top of the city also launched a counterattack in time. However, those arrows falling from the top of the city caused serious damage to Liang Jun. The threat was not great. Liang Jun took advantage of this opportunity and rushed to the city in one breath. He set up ladders on the city wall. At the same time, under the cover of the soldiers, Liang Jun rushed towards the city gate and wall. In the past, the city defense of Xingyang City was not bad. If you wanted to use a car to break open the city walls and gates, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy.
After the initial panic, the defenders on the city finally calmed down under the command of Zhang Gongjin and others and began to launch a counterattack outside the city. The archers of Liang Jun below the city even bent their bows. Arrows were flying toward the city head. For a time, screams were heard all over the city.
Zhang Gongjin frowned and looked outside the city. Something seemed wrong. Wang Shichong, who was next to him, saw Zhang Gongjin's expression. His heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly said to Zhang Gongjin: "General Zhang, what's the problem?"
Zhang Gongjin frowned and pointed towards the city. The direction of his finger was Pei Xingyan and Zhu Muwu, who were brave and good at fighting. Zhang Gongjin said: "Liang Jun has strong generals to help him, and his morale has greatly increased. If we can't defeat those two generals as soon as possible, our army will be in trouble." It’s very disadvantageous to defend the city.”
Hearing Zhang Gongjin's words, Wang Shichong also turned his head and looked down the city. He saw that although Pei Xingyan and Zhu Muwu did not rush to the city, they were stationed at the city, commanding the army to attack the city in an orderly manner. It was amazing. Sure enough. As Zhang Gongjin said, with these two people here, Liang Jun's combat effectiveness has increased by at least two levels.
Wang Shichong frowned. He immediately raised his head and shouted to Liang Sheng beside him: "Elder Liang, these two people will be left to you. Kill them."
As soon as Wang Shichong made this request, Liang Sheng's face suddenly turned ugly. It is true that Liang Sheng has high martial arts skills. It is true that there are many masters of Xiaoyao Sect. But can you go forward like this? Even Liang Sheng No matter how good Sheng's martial arts skills are, it is impossible to defeat him. Not to mention that if you jump down rashly, you will fall into the formation. Even if you are trapped by the opponent, it will be difficult for Liang Sheng to escape. In front of him, Wang Shichong actually let himself go down to assassinate him. General Liang Jun. Isn’t this forcing someone to do something difficult?
But just when Liang Sheng was about to refuse, Wang Shichong's eyes swept over him. When Liang Sheng saw it, he felt shocked. He was such a master, but he was stunned by the eyes of Wang Shichong, a man who did not understand martial arts. He paused. Then he heard Wang Shichong hum in a cold voice: "Why, Elder Liang, are you dissatisfied with my order?"
As Wang Shichong's insidious voice sounded, Liang Sheng immediately felt countless eyes around him, like steel needles piercing his body. Liang Sheng immediately felt a chill on his back. He suddenly realized that there were so many people around him. They are all under Wang Shichong. Although the Jianghuai soldiers are the disciples of Xiaoyao sect, over the years, Jianghuai soldiers have been managed by Wang Shichong. Every lieutenant in the army follows Wang Shichong. If Wang Shichong gives an order, it will only happen. I am afraid that these soldiers will not care whether Liang Sheng is a high-ranking elder in the sect. Instead, they will attack Liang Sheng swarm. By then, Liang Sheng will only be chopped into a puddle of meat.
Thinking of this, Liang Sheng couldn't help but shudder. He hurriedly raised his fists and saluted Wang Shichong, who had a gloomy look on his face, and said, "Since the military advisor has given the order, how can I not disobey it?" When he said this, Liang Sheng's I felt so miserable in my heart. I turned around and pulled out the saber from my waist with a clang. I slowly walked to the female wall. I looked at the densely packed soldiers and horses outside the city. I took a deep breath and jumped. That's it. He jumped directly from the top of the city.
Above the city, Liang Sheng was like an eagle with spread wings, floating down towards the outside of the city. However, the Liang Jun archers outside the city didn't care whether your posture was handsome or not. When they saw someone jumping down, they just jumped down. He opened his bow and shot an arrow. In one moment, fifty or sixty arrows flew towards Liang Sheng.
Liang Sheng, who was in the air, saw these arrows flying towards him. He also secretly groaned in his heart. He crossed his legs to the left and right, but forcefully twisted them in the air. He just changed his direction and dodged the dozens of arrows. But before Liang Sheng could fall, more than ten arrows flew over. Liang Sheng had no choice but to wave the sword in his hand and dance it in front of his chest. He immediately shot the more than ten arrows. All the arrows were chopped down. Then they landed firmly on the ground.
And Liang Sheng had just landed. The surrounding Liang Jun soldiers immediately shouted and rushed towards Liang Sheng. Liang Sheng was not ambiguous. Although his beard and hair were white, his skills were more flexible than those of young people. In the blink of an eye, He cut out more than ten knives. Liang Sheng was famous for his magic sword. Although his sword was cut off by Gong Jie, he changed his sword and his sword skills were still sharp. These Liang Jun soldiers in front of him are not Liang at all. Sheng's opponents were killed by Liang Sheng in a blink of an eye. More than ten of them were killed.
