Chapter 283 Take action, the god of death in the night! (Please vote!!)
The bright moon hangs high.
The bright moonlight envelopes the earth like flowing water.
At this moment, everywhere in the city is as bright as daylight under the bright moon, enough to read and write.
The west wall of the inner city.
At this time, blazing torches were also lit, and people came and went in a hurry, and people kept coming from all over the inner city.
There were also soldiers who kept pouring water on the outer walls of the city wall.
In today's cold winter, with a temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, the splashed water will quickly condense into ice as it slides along the icy city wall.
In this way, the city wall can be made extremely smooth, making it difficult for even martial arts experts to fly up the wall on the slippery ice.
"Sir, look!" The soldier who was splashing water on the city wall suddenly saw a figure rising very fast in the direction of the outer city. Its speed was as fast as floating in the air.
He immediately shouted loudly.
As soon as the voice came out, everyone’s eyes were immediately attracted.
Continuously patrolling the city wall and constantly instructing the guards everywhere, Xiao Chen also poked his head out from the battlements.
Then, he saw that figure had arrived under the city wall.
“Don’t panic, it should be Commander Jiang!”
Right now.
The sound of footsteps came from behind him.
"Xiao Chen, what's going on?"
At the same time.
There were waves of respectful salutes coming from behind Xiao Chen.
"I have met Mr. Souji!"
"I have met Mr. Souji!!"
"I have met Mr. Souji!!!"
"."
Hear the word "General Director".
Xiao Chen immediately turned around and saw Ge Zhengyuan, the chief of the City Guard Department, who had just climbed onto the city wall and was in a hurry.
The City Guards Division is in charge of all the garrison forces in Luoshui County.
“I’ve met Mr. General Secretary!” Xiao Chen said when he saw Ge Zhengyuan, he immediately raised his hand.
At this moment.
Jiang Ning also flew up the wall, climbed over the tall city stamps in an instant, and landed on the city wall.
Ge Zhengyuan was about to continue asking when he saw Jiang Ning's figure rising from the city wall like a roc, and his eyes were immediately attracted.
As a real big shot in Luoshui County, he is a seventh-rank official and one of the few seventh-rank martial artists in Luoshui County.
Ge Zhengyuan knew very well what kind of skill it was to be able to ignore the vertical angle of the city wall and only rely on the extremely flat city wall to climb the city wall.
Not to mention, Jiang Ning's action of flying up the wall is obviously not based on brute force alone.
"It's weird, Jiang Ning only became a disciple of Wang Jin last year, but he looks like he has achieved great success both internally and externally? Could it be that his apprenticeship with Wang Jin is just a pretense, and he has another disciple?" Ge Zhengyuan secretly said to himself.
He still clearly remembered what happened when he attended the King's Apprenticeship Banquet.
At the banquet, Jiang Ning's performance impressed him.
That kind of admiration was just a different way of looking at the younger generation, but now Jiang Ning found that he could no longer understand it.
This kind of movement is like a big roc soaring upward.
This cannot be done by brute force.
Just like himself, seventh level martial arts.
If he is given some fulcrum, he can also fly over the city wall.
Because of this, all city walls will basically be extremely smooth. Every certain year, someone will polish the city walls to make them extremely smooth.
As a result, even martial arts experts will find it difficult to climb over the city wall.
Unless it is the kind that has a long inner breath, falls down in one breath, is as light as a swallow, and can climb over a ten-foot-high city wall when it rises in the air.
At this moment, Jiang Ning's performance was obviously the second type.
This is also the basis for Ge Zhengyuan’s judgment that Jiangning has achieved success both internally and externally.
"Commander Jiang, have you just returned from the outer city?" Ge Zhengyuan asked.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning’s eyes fell on Ge Zhengyuan, and he suddenly recognized Ge Zhengyuan’s identity.
In Luoshui County, Ge Zhengyuan is one of the few officials whose official position is above him.
However, with the privileges he possesses as an inspector, he is a senior official.
In terms of status and power, he is not lower than Ge Zhengyuan.
As for strength, there is nothing to compare with now.
“General Secretary Ge.” Jiang Ning cupped his hand and said, “General Secretary Ge, you should prepare as soon as possible! The Black Mountain Cavalry has broken through the west gate of the outer city and is now driving straight in, heading straight for here.”
"The Black Mountain Cavalry?" Ge Zhengyuan suddenly looked stunned, and then he quickly asked: "Commander Jiang is not mistaken, is it really the Black Mountain Cavalry that entered the city?"
"Of course I'm right!" Jiang Ning said calmly: "A total of thirty-four Black Mountain riders are coming on horseback."
"Thirty-four riders." Ge Zhengyuan suddenly took a breath of cold air.
As the chief of the City Guard Department of Luoshui County, he naturally knows about the Black Mountain Cavalry.
Thirty-four cavalry, which means at least thirty-four eighth-level martial arts, veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, and are well-trained cavalry.
For Luoshui County, this force alone is comparable to high-end combat power.
Not to mention that among the thirty-four cavalry, there must be those at the seventh level of martial arts.
The seventh-level martial arts in the Black Mountain Cavalry are much more powerful than the seventh-level martial arts in these counties.
The rebellion started in Da Ming Mansion, and now he has traveled thousands of miles. It can be said that he has climbed out of the dead. He has experienced hundreds of battles. Compared with the seventh-level martial arts in the county, he has no strength in terms of will and experience. It's crushing.
In this way, he will naturally be much stronger than the warriors in the county.
This is still a one-on-one situation.
Warriors in the army are best at many-to-many.
If the number of people exceeds ten, even if the martial arts strength is almost the same, it will be a one-sided massacre.
After hearing the news about Jiang Ning, Ge Zhengyuan immediately knew that this matter was in big trouble.
Today's Luoshui County is in the emptiest time of the year.
The most powerful inspectorate in the county, its personnel are basically from other cities. Now because of the long New Year holiday, they have basically returned to their respective cities and homes.
This has also resulted in the overall strength of Luoshui County today being at least half weaker than a month ago.
At this juncture, and tonight when the defense strength is at its weakest, the Black Mountain Cavalry suddenly attacked the city, and after breaking the city, they came straight here.
Obviously careful planning has been done.
Ge Zhengyuan knew very well that as the largest official in the Luoshui County City Guards Department, he also shouldered the biggest responsibility.
If Luoshui County is completely attacked, his head will definitely be lost.
Therefore, for him, abandoning the city and fleeing was a dead end.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and then looked at Jiang Ning.
"Commander Jiang, can you see how many Montenegrin troops can follow behind the Black Mountain Cavalry?"
"I don't know!" Jiang Ning looked at the outer city shrouded in darkness and spoke calmly. Said: "I saw the thirty-four Black Mountain Cavalry from a distance, so I rushed back to report the news."
"But you don't need to look to know that with the Black Mountain Cavalry there, a group of Montenegrin troops must have been gathered. The two In total, there should be about a hundred people, or more!”
Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Ge Zhengyuan nodded in agreement.
“Yes!”
“Now the defense force in the county is empty, and the incident happened suddenly, many colleagues are still on the road.”
“This Black Mountain Army, choose It’s a good time!”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning quietly observed the direction of the Black Mountain Cavalry and nodded slightly.
"A good time indeed!"
Suddenly.
Jiang Ning said: "It's coming!"
"What's coming?" Ge Zhengyuan was stunned.
Jiang Ning said: "The Black Mountain Riders are coming!"
At the end of his sight, Jiang Ning had already seen the Black Mountain Cavalry appearing in his sight.
“Where?” Ge Zhengyuan was stunned again, and then he listened carefully, and then he heard the trampling of horse hooves.
Soon his expression condensed: "He is really here!"
Then he looked at Jiang Ning, cupped his hands and said: "We will need Commander Jiang to help defend the city later. Please ask Commander Jiang to lend a hand. Help.”
Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
"Thank you!!" Ge Zhengyuan bowed and saluted, then went down to make arrangements for the defense of the city.
Tonight is very crucial to him, not only about his black gauze hat, but also about the head on his neck.
At this time, people were coming to the city wall from all over the inner city one after another. But Jiang Ning no longer had the intention to pay attention to what was happening behind the scenes.
He knew very well that the next section of the road was his best opportunity to take action against the Black Mountain Cavalry.
other side.
The Black Mountain Cavalry also galloped along the main road from the outer city to the inner city.
They knew even more clearly that if they were delayed for one minute on the road, the defense force would be two points stronger.
What they are fighting now is just a time difference.
If Luoshui County waits until Luoshui County fully reacts and defends the city, how can their army of hundreds of people attack the next county?
"Failure is here!!" Seeing the towering city wall in the shadow in the distance, the leader of the Black Mountain Cavalry had solemn eyes.
The outer city is so broken.
The inner city is difficult to break.
On the one hand, the daily defense strength of the inner city is several times that of the outer city.
In addition, because of the early warning from the outer city, the inner city has already made certain preparations in advance.
If you want to break the city, you can only force the city.
So he didn't dare to delay for a moment.
In the entire Black Mountain Cavalry, there are only four people who can forcibly climb the ten-foot-high city wall like him.
Including the saint in the church who did not appear secretly, there are only five people who can do this.
In other words, the five of them must quickly climb the city wall, clear away the obstructing forces, and then open the city gate from the inside.
Only by accomplishing this can we lead the brothers behind us into the inner city.
With the support of the brothers behind him, we can finally gain a firm foothold and have the possibility of completely occupying Luoshui County.
This is just a possibility!
Because no one knows how deep the water in a county is.
Or there is another strong man living in seclusion.
Something like this has happened before.
A county town was attacked by rebels and was about to be destroyed.
An old man walked out holding a branch.
The sword energy is like a river, and it instantly cuts down the rebels pouring in from the city gate into blood foam.
Afterwards, one man and one sword easily killed thousands of enemies, resolving the crisis of the city's destruction.
As for the rebels who survived that battle, only 30%.
This is because the swordsman master does not want to cause more killings.
As the inner city wall becomes clearer and clearer, the ice on the outside of the city wall reflects the cold moonlight.
The leader of the Black Mountain Cavalry became increasingly nervous.
Today’s siege plan mainly comes from the secret opinions of the Black Lotus Saint.
Before this, he had no such idea.
It’s crazy to attack a county with just a hundred people.
Even if it is an excellent opportunity tonight, it is still a very crazy move.
But although the status of the Black Lotus Saint in the church is not as good as those of others, she is a new candidate saint, but her status is not comparable to that of his captain.
"I hope everything goes well tonight!!" The leader of the Black Mountain Cavalry looked at the city wall getting closer and closer, praying secretly in his heart.
Just then.
Boom——
A thunderous explosion suddenly came to his ears.
Looking back.
I saw a brother who was wearing black iron armor and had followed him for thousands of miles, suddenly his flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the black nightmare horse under his crotch was also torn apart.
"Iron Mountain!!" His eyes turned red instantly.
At this moment.
Less than a breath of time.
Boom——
Another sound like thunder exploded in his ears.
He turned around and saw that another brother was covered in blood and flesh. The black iron armor on his body was also torn into pieces. The tall black nightmare horse was also torn into large and small blood clots.
He quickly turned around and looked at the city wall.
Suddenly, I saw a figure standing on the city wall, the bow string in his hand stretched to full length again.
"Look for cover, there is a sharpshooter!!!" He shouted immediately.
At this time.
Jiang Ning stood on the city wall.
Collapse——
The arrow in his hand shot out again.
In the dark night, the arrow leaves the string and disappears without a trace in an instant.
Less than a breath of time.
Boom——
There was another thunderous explosion, and a Montenegrin rider of unknown strength suddenly seemed to be hit by a cannonball, and his whole body was torn apart.
An arrow was shot, and Jiang Ning took up the bow and pulled the string again.
Aside.
As the Black Mountain Cavalry approached, it completely appeared in everyone's eyes. Everyone was already on full alert, waiting for the Black Mountain Cavalry to attack the city.
Ge Zhengyuan, as the chief director of the City Guard Department, stopped busy at this time, took out the sword hanging from his waist, and began to wipe the sword.
He knew that the Black Mountain Cavalry did not have any siege equipment.
When the Black Mountain Cavalry attacks a city, only the strong ones among them will force their way onto the city and open the city gate from within.
From the front, only thirty or so Black Mountain riders took their heads to break open the city gate.
On the back side of the city wall, elite soldiers also began to install armor-piercing crossbow arrows on the huge divine machine crossbows in their hands.
The divine machine crossbow is a weapon used to deal with strong martial arts masters.
The armor-piercing arrows of this ordnance are very small, only about ten centimeters.
But the arrowhead is made of ten thousand forged fine iron. Under a strong impact, it can easily penetrate fine iron several centimeters thick.
In front of the armor-piercing crossbow, even a sixth-grade martial arts expert would not dare to use his physical body to catch it.
Only the top experts in the fifth level of the Zhuang Realm can ignore the armor-piercing crossbow arrows for a short time with their inner breath. However, as time goes by, their inner breath is exhausted, and they still dare not fight hard with their flesh and blood bodies. catch.
This kind of ordnance is also the controlled ordnance of Daxia.
For ordinary people who dare to hide it secretly, it is a capital crime.
Only the imperial military can legitimately use this kind of controlled ordnance.
At this moment.
Jiang Ning's two arrows shot out in succession, and the sound of them breaking through the air was like a sharp whistle.
Those two explosions were like thunder suddenly exploding in the dark night.
The movement instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the city wall.
Only then did they realize that Jiang Ning was stringing his bow again.
Collapse——
Jiang Ning let go of the arrow.
The arrow disappeared from everyone's eyes in an instant, and they heard a series of sonic booms again. The moment they saw the arrow leaving the string, the air was blown into a cloud of white mist.
“Silent Arrow!”
“Commander Jiang’s archery skills are so powerful!!”
“.“
Everyone saw this One scene, everyone was whispering to each other.
Ge Zhengyuan on the side looked even more happy when he saw this.
He knew very well how useful a marksman who could shoot silent arrows could be in defending a city.
In his opinion, he is simply the God of Death who ruthlessly harvests lives.
Especially in the dark night.
Although the moonlight is bright tonight, it is still dark night.
The sight in the shadows is much worse than in the daytime, and it is difficult for ordinary warriors to see clearly the trajectory of arrows with their eyes alone.
Coupled with the silent arrows, the speed of the arrows breaking through the air has exceeded the sound.
For those who are attacking the city, it is even more difficult to rely on the ability of hearing and positioning with both ears to give early warning.
Such a situation only adds to the terror of the marksman.
