- Chapter 30: Siege and Fierce Battle
Sikongwu was a little confused. It seemed that Qiu Lianshan and Ren Zizhen were sure that the Iron Mine would fall, otherwise they would not have leaked the news about the existence of the ancient tomb in advance.
"But Lei Meng also thinks the same. On the surface, this place looks similar to ancient Earth, but in fact, soul power can do countless incredible miracles in ancient Earth.
If it were the age of cold weapons on earth, it would be basically impossible for three thousand people to capture the same number of tightly defended cities. They would have to have at least three times the number of soldiers defending the city. But here, this rule does not apply. Strong individuals The advantage of force makes up for the lack of numbers to a large extent. Just like in modern times on earth, in front of sharp weapons such as aircraft and cannons, the advantage of city walls can basically be ignored.
It is impossible for Black Corner City to launch an all-out attack on the bandit alliance. If the bandits are prepared, they pretend to attack the fine iron mines to lure Black Corner City's soldiers and horses to leave the city, and then suddenly turn around to attack Black Corner City halfway, they will suffer the consequences. He is from Black Point City.
Therefore, after Qiu Lianshan and Ren Zi considered the truth, they informed Sikong Wu of the news in advance. They also wanted to use Sikong Ba's strength to defeat the two demon corpses guarding the entrance to the inner tomb and take away the treasures in the tomb.
Afterwards, Qiu Lianshan took Sikong Wu and Lei Meng to the entrance of the ancient tomb, and told them things to pay attention to and dangerous areas, so that if the battle started, everyone would be separated and unable to evacuate into the ancient tomb at the same time.
However, when it comes to really deciding the winner, both Noble Horn Hou and the bandit leader know that it is a lose-lose situation. If the bandits are given a choice, they will definitely not be willing to forcibly take over the fine iron mines and Black Horn City. Seriously, they are sending out all their troops now because they were forced by the Blue Moon Empire!
Every powerful Martial Saint who serves in the empire and obeys the orders of the Empire is a high-ranking official guarding one side. Martial Saint Xunya is the national protector general of the Blue Moon Empire. This time he secretly arrived at the border bandits' lair. If he stayed too long, what would happen? The news that he was discovered to have left the place where he was guarding might cause chaos. Seeing that the bandit coalition had no intention of fighting hard, he sent someone to send an order. If the bandits did not capture Black Corner City within ten days, the bandits would be killed. Kill all the family members of the gangster's lair!
Zhu Tian and others did not expect Xun Ya to be so ruthless, but they did not dare to doubt Xun Ya's determination. After all, the other party was the pinnacle of power in this world. The fifth-level martial immortal was just a legendary figure, and he was the Mu Shou of the Blue Moon Empire. The overlord of one party was true to his words. Once the bandits failed to complete their mission, they would definitely take action. Therefore, Zhu Tian and others had no choice but to request support from the soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire, and then sent troops to the iron mines, preparing to capture them first. After refining the iron mine, replenish the armor and weapons before attacking Black Corner City.
As the bandits approached step by step, the situation finally became clear to everyone in the fine iron mine.
The troops of more than 3,000 people did not seem to have much discipline at all. They were obviously separated into many queues. They did not raise flags like a real army. They were all cavalry and had many kinds of monsters and beasts on them. Despite this, they soared into the sky. The murderous intent is enough to let people know how ferocious and terrifying this army is.
¡°Few of the bandits have less than ten lives under their command. It can be said that if anyone joins the army, he can be compared with the veterans with a little training.
What really worries Ren Zizhen and others are the extremely tall siege vehicles in the center of the bandit team. These giant siege vehicles are three feet high and weigh more than 10,000 kilograms. The main components are forged from fine steel and are carried by dozens of people. The giant mountain elephant moved forward slowly, dragging it, and the bandit coalition marched slowly, all because of these giant siege vehicles.
Ren Zizhen didn't know how these siege vehicles crossed the imperial border cordon and were transported here. Although there was no Blue Moon mark of the Blue Moon Empire on them, they were the same as the siege vehicles of the Blue Moon Empire in terms of style and weight. Wu Er, the bandits who were guarding the siege vehicles all around were very disciplined. They were obviously soldiers from the Blue Moon Empire who had infiltrated into the Qingtian Empire.
Of course, since these soldiers appear here, no matter how the battle with Noire City or the fine iron mines is, they all have a will to die. Unlike the bandits, they have insufficient personal strength. If the bandits feel something is wrong, they can still Able to rely on their speed to retreat into the mountains and dense forests, these few Blue Moon Empire soldiers found it difficult to leave. The bandits would not slow down and flee with them at a critical moment.
Because of this, these Blue Moon Empire soldiers launched an attack that was absolutely fierce.
Naturally, the Qintian Empire also has equipment such as siege vehicles, but they are not as good as the half-horcruxes of the Blue Moon Empire that have been refined and blessed by soul power. Moreover, only some imperial cities are equipped with them, such as Black Horn City and Jingtie. Naturally, there are no siege engines in the mines. Although there are a small number of catapults, the weight and range of the stones are far inferior to the opponent's siege engines.
If the strength of the fine iron mine has an absolute advantage, it can naturally take the initiative to destroy the opponent's siege giant.The car, now can only watch helplessly as the opponent positions itself, the siege car adjusts its direction, and is ready to launch an offensive at any time.
Two thousand soldiers have been dispatched to Black Corner City, but they are thirty miles away from the bandit coalition. It is not that they cannot keep up with the speed of the bandit coalition, but Qiu Pojun is afraid that the bandit coalition will suddenly attack, so They could only stay outside and wait until the battle between the bandit coalition and the fine iron mines heated up and the bandits were unable to leave before launching an attack outside.
Sikongwu and others are all aware of Heijiaohou's arrangement, and know that they can only rely on their three thousand sergeants and miners to resist the offensive of the bandit alliance!
The huge siege vehicle required ten giant men who were fused with brute force soul beasts to control it. After adjusting the direction and angle, the fine iron mine was not given much time to respond. Three huge iron weapons were embraced by two people. The ball has already roared into the air and hit hard towards the city gate of the Fine Iron Mine.
Sikong Wu's heart tightened as he watched the black iron ball whizzing towards him and hitting it ten meters away from the city wall. It made a loud roar and created a cracked hole on the ground that was as tall as a man. The extremely hard rock was smashed into pieces, and I couldn't help but gasp. If this iron ball hit a person, wouldn't it easily smash the person into pieces?
Fortunately, the speed of these iron balls is not very fast. As long as you are prepared, a practitioner like Sikong Wu can easily dodge them.
Not only did Sikong Wu change his expression, but the soldiers and miners guarding the city wall also changed their expressions, with a look of horror in their eyes. For these soldiers, the iron ball could not be avoided or resisted. They could only pray that the iron ball would not hit them. Falling.
The iron ball weighing thousands of kilograms actually bounced up and hit the city wall hard. The entire city wall shook, and then the iron ball rolled out.
The Blue Moon Empire's first iron ball was just a test attack. After finding the impact point, it moved up a few points. This time, five or six iron balls shot out at the same time, making a dull whirring sound. Three of the iron balls shot out. The ball hit the wall squarely, causing smoke and dust to billow, rocks collapsed, and a large piece of the city wall was shattered and collapsed.
An iron ball landed on the top of the city wall, and then rolled violently outward. Five or six soldiers were suddenly unable to dodge, and were smashed to pieces by the iron ball. They died without even shouting.
" Two of the soldiers were brushed by the iron ball, and their hands and feet were broken. They screamed miserably, which caused the morale of the soldiers in the Jing Iron Mine to drop sharply.
Qiu Lianshan's face also changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Uncle Ren, what should we do now? If we let the other party shoot, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long. Why don't we launch a giant crossbow to fight back?"
Ren Zizhen shook his head and said: "It's useless. The siege vehicle is more than two hundred feet away from here. Using a giant crossbow at such a distance may hurt ordinary soldiers, but it will be of no use to the siege vehicle. It's a pity that there is no Cloud-piercing Divine Crossbow here, otherwise How could it be the turn of these guys from the Blue Moon Empire to wreak havoc!"
Lei Meng also nodded and said: "The Cloud-piercing Divine Crossbow can naturally attack the opponent. It is not surprising that these siege giants were destroyed. This is not the territory of the Blue Moon Empire, although I don't know how they transported several siege giants. When the car arrived here, I thought there were not many iron balls, and this offensive could not last long. I am afraid they just want to destroy a section of our city wall so that we can launch an offensive."
After the siege vehicle is thrown, it takes about ten breaths to re-wind it for projection. After all, just transporting an iron ball weighing thousands of kilograms takes a lot of time.
If there is a confrontation between two armies, the siege vehicles will usually be launched in echelons. However, now there is no way to fight back at the fine iron mine. Several catapults built overnight cannot attack the enemy two hundred feet away. , coupled with the small number of their siege vehicles, it is difficult to launch them in an echelon. Therefore, the soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire do not need to consider this and launch them directly at the same time, which can further enhance the destructive power of the iron balls against the city wall.
Sure enough, Lei Meng's judgment was correct. He threw the amazingly powerful iron ball five times in a row and finally replaced it with rocks collected nearby. The bandit coalition, led by several bandit leaders, finally launched an offensive, and there was nothing A tentative attack was directly driven by large forces.
Among the five bandit leaders, four were cultivators of the Martial Emperor. The leader, Zhu Tian, ??was an eighth-grade combined Martial Emperor. However, he did not join the battle and left five hundred bandits behind to guard against attacks from behind.
The soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire were extremely skilled in controlling the siege vehicles, and their accuracy was astonishing. The iron ball basically landed on the city wall within a hundred meters of the city gate, smashing the wooden gate covered with iron into pieces.
Ren Zizhen looked at the bandits riding various ferocious beasts and mounts roaring towards them. His face turned cold, and he finally activated the reaction command. More than a dozen catapults shot out countless pieces of gravel weighing hundreds of kilograms, and the crossbows also fired rapidly. Outside, from time to time, the oncoming bandits could be seen being hit by stones or shot by giant crossbows, and fell to the ground.
The distance of two hundred feet is actually not that far. In the blink of an eye, the bandits have already reached the bottom of the wall. The first three Wuhuang bandits, who burst out with dazzling light, showed ferocious looks in their eyes. They rushed in front of the other bandits and moved toward them. The city gate gap quickly came.
The bandits' attacks were not too intensive, but there were also not many Black-Corner City soldiers guarding the city gate. If they were too intensive, they would be hit by the opponent's iron balls, which would result in dozens or hundreds of casualties. Now it is replaced by stones. Although the stone is not as powerful as the iron ball, the stone explodes when it hits the ground, and the debris flies everywhere. To ordinary soldiers, it is more threatening than the more powerful iron ball.
Therefore, the more than a hundred warriors and warrior soldiers guarding the city gate alone could never withstand the joint attack of the three powerful Martial Emperors. Ren Zizhen and Lei Meng looked at each other, let out a loud shout at the same time, drew their weapons, and led the soldiers behind them Fight the past!
At this time, the siege vehicles of the Blue Moon Empire have stopped projecting. The stones have no eyes. The two armies are in close combat. Projecting will only hurt both sides, and the bandits will suffer even more.
Sikong Wuqiu Lianshan had already listened to Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen¡¯s instructions not to approach the opponent¡¯s powerful Martial Emperor. He slapped the giant silver-tusked elephant, raised his cloud-splitting gun, and headed towards the battlefield under the protection of Han Yun and others.
His strength has greatly increased now, and he is completely comparable to the peak sixth-grade warriors. Under the protection of several personal guards, he can support him for a period of time even if he meets the seventh-grade Martial Emperor. That's why Lei Meng agreed to Sikong Wu's participation in the battle.
Of course, this is also the result that Sikong Wu strongly requested. During the battle, he found that whether it was the Golden Bell Cover or the Cloud Splitting Art, his progress was much faster than that of meditation. He had previously broken through the second-level warrior and second-level gold together. In the realm of Bell Jar, how could Sikong Wu give up such a fighting opportunity!
In the siege battle, there are not many tactics to speak of. As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. The soldiers under the city wall kept throwing rolling stones and wood, boiling gold juice and boiling oil, to kill the bandits who tried to climb to the top of the city. In addition, The person responsible for controlling the giant crossbow, his main target is the martial artist flying in mid-air!
Comparing the air power, the Iron Mine side is naturally far inferior to the bandits whose overall strength is much higher than them.
Because bandits with flying spirit beasts are often more likely to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Imperial Army. In the long run, the proportion of bandits with flying spirit beasts is not low. From these two thousand bandits, hundreds of bandits actually have flying spirit beasts. .
There were not many giant crossbows in this section of the city wall. Hundreds of flying bandits swooped down at any cost. Although some were shot down by the giant crossbows, a few impacts destroyed the giant crossbows. Then they gathered together and easily Occupied a section of the city wall.
The soldiers from the fine iron mine kept coming, but unfortunately the enemy was much stronger than them and could not drive them off the city wall. Many bandits climbed up along the city wall, and in a moment they were on a tower that was five or six feet high. On the city wall, they started hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers from the fine iron mines.
Near the city gate, although Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen led their soldiers and took advantage of the terrain to keep the other side out, looking at the battle on the city wall, once more bandits took up attack positions, it would only be a matter of time before the city gate fell.
Ren Zizhen originally estimated that his side could withstand half a day, but now he discovered that the strength of the bandits was still beyond his estimate. With the help of the siege vehicles of the Blue Moon Empire, in just half an hour, they were able to withstand the attack. Already taking the initiative.
If it weren't for the three Wuhuang bandits on the other side, who were wary of each other and would not fight to the death with Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen, so as not to force Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen to fight with their lives, deliberately weakening the attack momentum here, just waiting for the other bandits to come over, otherwise Lei and Meng were afraid that they wouldn't be able to sustain it for such a long time.
Although everyone has a seventh-level cultivation level, due to differences in cultivation techniques and other factors, as well as personal understanding, weapons and other factors, it is normal for the strength to vary greatly. For example, Lei Meng is firmly under control Peng Linyu, the iron-armed black ape, and Wei Zhuoning from the Manshui Gang, although there are reasons why the two bandit leaders do not want to fight, it is enough to illustrate Lei Meng's sharpness.
This old man has a colorful giant leopard exposed outside his body, and there is still the slightest trace of a dragon bell. The shadow of the giant leopard is one foot long, and bursts of lightning burst out when the claws are waved, making a crackling sound.
Peng Linyu transformed into a half-human and half-monkey form, with shiny black arms, and a ferocious black ape shadow shrouded outside him. He was still forced into danger by the giant leopard. If he hadn't joined forces with Wei Zhuoning's transformed bull, he would have been captured by Lei Meng. Got off.
Ren Zizhen's opponent is Feng Dongrou, the only female among the five bandit leaders. Of course, this woman is not as powerful as Peng Linyu and Wei Zhuoning. She has transformed into a half-human and half-wolf form, exuding pale white soul power, and there is no trace of femaleness at all. Characteristics, constantly making roaring sounds and fighting fiercely with Ren Zizhen.
Among the five bandits, Jin Hanjiang and Ma Tianfeng of the Iron Blood Gang are both sixth-grade peak warriors. They are brothers from the same sect. First, Jin Hanjiang formed the Iron Blood Gang, and then Ma Tianfeng joined his senior brother.As the deputy gang leader of the Iron-Blooded Gang, although the two of them are not martial emperors, they have practiced a special set of combined attack techniques that can double their strength. Moreover, both of them are flying soul masters, so Jin Hanjiang can stand out among these helpless bandits. To have a role to play.
Now Lei Meng and Ren Zizhen were entangled. Jin Hanjiang and Ma Tianfeng did not need to attack together. They led their troops to attack the soldiers on the city wall. Soon they were inside the city wall. Blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and countless soldiers from Black Corner City and Qin Tiancheng were killed. Soldiers died at their hands, but they were more threatening than Wei Zhuoning and the others.
As the battle progressed, countless soldiers fell into a pool of blood, wailing and screaming. The soldiers of Black Horn City who lacked combat experience, and the miners who were even more unbearable, finally developed a heart of fear, and they dared to intercept them. Jin Hanjiang and Ma Tianfeng are like regional killers.
Sikong Wu led a few personal guards and charged among the bandits with great momentum. More than fifty bandits were killed by Sikong Wu and others. At this time, he saw many soldiers besieging the Tie-Blood Gang, such as Jin Hanjiang and Ma Tianfeng. After retreating, the remaining soldiers of Qin Tiancheng were being slaughtered by the opponent. Sikong Wu's eyes became hot and he couldn't help but shouted. He even drove the silver-tusked giant elephant to kill Jin Hanjiang and others regardless of the danger!
