Chapter 273: Death on both sides
The wooden city gate opened, and Jiang Lin walked out. Behind him, millions of border troops were in position, ready to fight.
In front of a million-strong army, Jiang Lin's burly figure was alone, but he did not appear lonely.
The momentum of the border troops seemed to be drawn to him by invisible threads.
With this heart-stopping momentum, the vitality of heaven and earth rioted, carrying Jiang Lin and flying towards the territory of Dachen.
……
Fengluan City.
South city wall.
This is the direction facing the hinterland of Dachen, and it is also the direction where the siege will be most violent.
At least 30% of the hundreds of thousands of Chen troops are concentrated here.
The formation a few days ago caused heavy casualties to the Dagan border troops in the city.
At least 10,000 people were killed on the spot, more than 10,000 people were seriously injured, and more than 20,000 people were slightly injured.
There are less than 30,000 that are still intact.
Among these 30,000 people, 10,000 are from the Nanling Camp.
They have the best equipment and the least losses. They are now scattered among the four city gates, with other battalions assisting in the defense.
Liao Mingxu personally led 3,000 people to resist the South City Gate, which was under the greatest pressure.
This third-grade military general was now covered in blood, his armor was broken, and his chest, arms, and legs all had injuries of varying severity.
The long sword covered with thick blood slashed across the city wall, grinding away the thick blood clots and revealing the light inside again.
Liao Mingxu looked solemn as he looked at Chen's troops who were reorganizing their formation and might launch the next attack at any time.
Xu Kaijin holds a big gun in his hand, standing on the right side, the tip of the gun is slightly curled.
The spear is the king of weapons. It is the most ferocious in charging and killing, but it is also the most vulnerable to damage.
Once you are under siege, it is easy to be unable to use it.
If Xu Kaijin hadn't been promoted to the Yuanwu realm in the past two days during the killings, he wouldn't be able to stand up at this moment.
Even after entering the Yuanwu realm, his injuries were more serious than Liao Mingxu's, and his aura was slightly messy.
After spitting out saliva that had a strong smell of blood, Xu Kaijin rubbed his sore shoulders and said, "Da Chen and these beasts are quite capable. No wonder they dared to invade my Daqian hinterland."
"It's not like the main force was eaten up by Ling Shuai, but it was just a matter of luck." Liao Mingxu snorted coldly: "If that formation hadn't cost us too many people, with just their little strength, we wouldn't have been able to do it again." We won’t be able to get in after a hundred days!”
In a siege battle, the ratio of the number of attackers and defenders usually needs to be ten to one to have a greater chance of victory.
After all, the defender who occupies a favorable terrain can use the advantage of being in a commanding position and a tall and solid city wall to block the opponent's attack.
Da Chen's number was only several times larger than Da Gan's frontier army, so it was impossible to quickly attack the city.
But the problem is that all the supplies in the city have been transferred in advance, and not even an extra grain of rice can be found.
The border troops who entered the city did not carry much rations. After five days, many people died in the battle, and even more people were dizzy from hunger.
"This can't go on like this. Even if they don't attack, our people can't hold on." Cai Yanting, who had half of his face slashed, said with a fierce look: "My subordinates think that we should go out of the city to fight to the death while we still have some strength left." ! Otherwise, it would be too uncomfortable to starve to death in the city.”
"This makes sense, and I also agree with leaving the city for a decisive battle!" Xu Kaijin said.
Liao Mingxu stared at Chen Junwu outside the city, feeling a little embarrassed.
Of course he wanted to go out and have a good time, but once the city gate was opened, he would lose the natural barrier of the city.
At that point, there is no winner or lose, only one party is completely annihilated.
It would be fine if there was only the Nanling Camp itself, but there are six other camps here. Opening the city gate would force everyone to accept this result.
Liao Mingxu took a deep breath and said: "Go and ask the other generals. If everyone agrees, we will leave the city together!"
Song Tianjiu dragged the knife over, wiped the blood on his face, and pointed in a certain direction.
Several hundred meters outside the city, several figures were looming.
"The remnants of Xuanhua Dao..." Liao Mingxu squinted his eyes and looked at them. It was these people from the Dao sect who had caused them the greatest pressure in the past few days.
Although those few were not masters like the mountain master, they were also mysterious and difficult to guard against. If it weren't for the notoriously tough Dagan frontier army, they would have been defeated long ago.
"If we really want to rush out, I have to chop them up! They are rats hiding their heads and tails!" Liao Mingxu said with murderous intent on his face.
Cai Yanting walked around several other city gates and heard that Liao Mingxu planned to rush out of the city and fight to the death with Da Chen.
None of these generals and generals objected.
"Damn it, whenever our border troops fought to defend the city, I would have wanted to leave!"
"Then do it! What's there to say?"
"Let me take the lead!"
A group of border military attachés howled and roared like a rainbow.
The capital officials and above, plus several generals, all gathered at the south gate.
The sergeants under his command also gathered one after another.
The other city gates were ignored, so let Da Chen's people come in. They were leaving anyway.
Liao Mingxu stood in front of the south city gate and said in a deep voice: "As soon as the city gate opens, everyone rushes out first and forms a military formation under the city wall. They only attack but not defend! Today, either we will kill all those brats, or they will kill them all." , do you still have any objections?”
"Stop talking nonsense and open the door quickly!"
"Yes, open the door quickly, I want to be the first to rush!"
Seeing this, Liao Mingxu said nothing more. After taking a deep breath, he stood at the front with a long sword and shouted: "Open the city gate!"
Dozens of soldiers worked together, and the heavy city gate slowly opened. Da Chen's troops, who were still reorganizing their formation a few hundred meters away, did not expect that Da Gan's frontier troops were so disadvantaged that they dared to go out of the city for a decisive battle.
Liao Mingxu was the first to rush out of the city gate and pounced on the enemy like a tiger coming out of the gate.
Xu Kaijin and Cai Yanting followed closely behind.
Then there are the sergeants led by Song Tianjiu and other guards...
In just a few breaths, thousands of people rushed out of the city gate, with heads behind them densely packed.
Those who couldn't wait any longer jumped off the city wall.
Those dumpling-like figures, with their red eyes and terrifying aura, made people shudder.
"Array up! Array up!" Da Chen's military attache shouted urgently.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a ferocious laughter coming from behind: "I'm just thinking about forming an array now, it's too late!"
He turned his head suddenly and saw a sword coming towards him. He subconsciously raised the scabbard to resist, but he and the sword were split in half.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The sword's energy remained unabated, and all the sergeants in a straight line within ten meters were killed by the sword.
"You guys!" Liao Mingxu held the sword in his hand and shouted: "Kill!"
There was an earth-shattering, beast-like roar coming from behind.
One by one, the frontier military attachés who had been frustrated for a long time rushed into the enemy formation. This was the style of Daqian. Military attachés would never fall behind the military formations, which would only attract ridicule from others.
Behind them, ordinary sergeants set up a "war" formation, led by the Nanling Camp, like an unstoppable torrent of steel, crashing into the camp of Da Chen's army.
I have to say that if they really wanted to fight head-on, Da Chen's army would still be inferior to Da Qian's.
The most important reason was that their most elite troops had been surrounded and annihilated by Commander Ling in the hinterland of Daqian.
Those who come now can only be considered first-class, but not top-notch.
Just like the gap between the ninth level of martial arts and the peak of martial arts, if you hold a magical weapon, you can make up for the lack of realm.
However, it is the Nanling Camp that really holds a powerful weapon.
Everyone has a fourth-grade weapon, and this military formation of ten thousand people is no longer a sharp knife, but a sickle for harvesting straw.
Wherever the military formation goes, no one can stop it.
Facing such a powerful military formation, Da Chen's army tried their best to besiege, but it was of no avail.
At this time, in mid-air, a white-haired old man wearing linen clothes appeared.
Looking down from a high position, I saw that the Nanling camp, led by Liao Mingxu and other military attachés, was suppressing the formation. A hole had been torn open in Da Chen's formation.
More Dagan border troops poured in through this gap, cutting off the possibility of being surrounded.
"After all, Da Chen is not as good as Da Qian." The white-haired old man said with an indifferent expression: "Get ready to take action. Kill that group of military attaches first, and then wipe out the subsequent military formations."
"Yes, Mountain Master." Dozens of figures appeared around him, each with a dark brown talisman in their hand.
They gathered around the white-haired old man, raised their talismans high, and kowtowed to him in mid-air.
The moment he bent down, brown light emitted from the talisman, and then gathered into a thick beam of light, shooting straight towards Liao Mingxu and others.
Liao Mingxu immediately felt this fatal threat. Without thinking, he jumped up high, summoned all his cultivation skills, and swung his sword fiercely at the light beam.
Another figure rose into the sky, it was Xu Kaijin.
The big gun in his hand was like a dragon flying through the sky, making a low roar.
The generals and generals of the other battalions also jumped up one after another and struck the strongest blow at the light pillar.
All kinds of different powers come together, and their power is astonishing. Even those at the fourth level of the Yuanwu Realm must be wary of this attack.
Unfortunately, the person who came was the ancient secret mountain master of Xuanhua Dao, and there were dozens of core disciples.
The mountain master had never taken action, but the power of this beam of light was already comparable to the eighth level of the Yuanwu Realm!
The attacks from Liao Mingxu and others fell on it, like a mantis blocking a car with its arms, and were not worth mentioning.
It was shattered by the bombardment in an instant, and the beam of light rushed towards Liao Mingxu and others.
The power contained within it shocked many frontier military attachés.
Liao Mingxu felt a tightness in his chest and was almost vomiting blood due to the shock. He forced himself to swallow the bloody smell and shouted angrily: "Die!"
He reached out to grab the bow and arrow behind his back, put a chaos arrow on the bowstring, and shot towards the beam of light.
The moment the Chaos Arrow, a low-grade Mysterious Weapon-level weapon, was shot, it aroused a massive amount of heaven and earth vitality, turning it into a thickness nearly equal to that of the light beam.
The two collided with each other, making an indescribable violent sound. Anyone with weaker cultivation nearby would be shocked to the point of bleeding.
"Huh? Xuan Bing?" The white-haired old man was slightly surprised.
The Daqian border army has never been good at weapons. Except for general soldiers and generals, they rarely have such good things.
He waved his sleeves, and a strong wind blew up, sweeping away the dust.
But he saw that the general of the border army, whose armor was in tatters, had already set the second arrow, and let go of his hand as soon as the dust dispersed.
The second chaos arrow shot out towards the white-haired old man's face. The vitality of heaven and earth was wrapped up and turned into a huge air column with a diameter of nearly one meter.
The white-haired old man was not moved at all by such a terrifying attack.
He stretched out a hand and touched it, and unimaginable Taoist power burst out from his fingertips, instantly piercing the center of the air column and colliding with the arrow at the core.
Boom——
Looking for more orders, I will write in the future
