Nightwatcher Chapter 240: Siege


When the hatred gradually calmed down, Xu Qi’an re-examined the battle, and suddenly felt a chill in his back and a deep chill in his heart.

With his logical reasoning ability, after listening to Zhang Kaitai’s description, the battle has been resumed in his mind.

The core of this battle is the wizard god.

Games and wars with the wizard **** as the core.

Assisting Yaoman is only a superficial reason. What Wei Yuan really wants to do is to deal with the witch **** (the reason is unknown), and the first emperor and the witch **** sect are to protect the witch god.

The layout of the Sorcerer Cult based on this is:

The first emperor dragged his legs behind his back, and when the army entered the enemy’s territory, he cut off the grain and grass, cut off the supply of the army, consumed Wei Yuan’s force, and pushed the soldier into the abyss of immortality.

After that, two third-rank Linghui masters, one first-rank great wizard, and one second-rank Cross Tribulation, make the final conclusion. As long as Wei Yuan’s forces are weakened to a certain extent, they will definitely take action.

Wei Yuan’s response method was to slaughter the city all the way, raise the battle with war, and push it all the way to the hinterland of Yan Nation, the capital of the country where there is no food and armaments.

Next, he repaired the plank road in darkness and walked around behind the enemy by water. .

From this point of view, Wei Yuan expected that the court would be dragged down. So he was ready to fight fast from the very beginning, leaving no way out, not supplying, searching on the spot, fighting to raise the battle, and pushing directly to the base camp of the Witch God Sect.

In the final battle, Wei Yuan faced four super masters. If he was only a second-rank martial artist, it would be impossible to defeat the four, let alone fight the wizard god.

Wei Yuan also took this into consideration. He has reliance, and his reliance is the Confucian sage.

“Everyone thinks that this battle is to help the monsters and barbarians and maintain balance. Who would have thought that there is a deeper purpose behind the witch gods, who will count them, and invite you to enter the urn. Wei Gong will also count? The games and calculations in it? It really makes your scalp numb”

Xu Qi’an muttered to himself.

He still has a few doubts that have not been resolved? For example, since Wei Gong is a martial artist in the realm of Dao? He is a terrifying powerhouse of inhuman level, why has he kept a low profile for so many years and announced that he has no cultivation base? He is an ordinary person. ?

Another example? Why did the first emperor join forces with the Sorcerer Sect to kill Wei Yuan? Although a second-rank courtier, it really makes people feel jealous. But can you end up with a tiger?

Based on the relationship between Wei Yuan and the queen? The first emperor only needs to hold this handle? There is a bargaining chip. And? There is a monitor above? Want to maintain the overall stability? It is not difficult.

On the contrary? If you send soldiers and generals of your own country to the enemy’s mouth, the consequences are obviously greater.

Xu Qi’an thought of a familiar sentence: Why is your Majesty rebelling?

This is his doubt at this time.

Finally, Wei Yuan did not hesitate to capture the general altar of the Sorcerer Sect with the consciousness of fighting to death? Why?

It turned out that I didn’t even have the ability to collect his corpse. Xu Qi’an felt a pain.

In the ups and downs of his thoughts? He took a deep breath: “Wei Gong? Has been keeping a low profile?”

Zhang Kaitai let out a “huh”? He looked at the entrance of the military account with a dazzling look, and said slowly:

“After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Wei Gong had a private conversation with His Majesty? Then he abolished his cultivation base. At that time, we could not understand, and now we cannot understand. We did not expect that Wei Gong had secretly rebuilt martial arts, even though he died in battle. But I am still very pleased,

“The earthen jar will not be broken away from Inoue, and the general will inevitably die before the battle. He can fight to death on the battlefield as a powerful man. I have no regrets about Wei Gong.”

Xu Qi’an asked again: “Except for Yang Yan and Jiang Luzhong, you are the only golden gong to survive. What are your plans for the future?”

“If you have done a beater, you will be a beater for the rest of your life.” Zhang Kaitai tilted his head and looked at him: “What about you?”

The answer to him was silence.

At this moment, a lieutenant hurried over, his face looked anxious, and said loudly: “Your commander, the scout is here to report, Yan Guo and Kang Guo gathered 80,000 horses and came towards Yuyang Pass, at most half of them. At the hour, soldiers will come to the city.”

Zhang Kaitai’s face changed, “Who is the leader?”

The lieutenant said in a deep voice: “Mr Yan, Nuerhega.”

Zhang Kaitai was taken aback, fell silent, he ordered:

“Call the generals of commanders of thousands and above to come and discuss the matter, let all the soldiers go up to the city wall, and let the militiamen go to the warehouse to carry the equipment and armaments of the city”

He gave instructions skillfully, without rushing, but his stern look showed that the golden gong’s heart was extremely heavy.

Russian, more than a dozen generals wearing armor and knives stepped into the military tent, bowed their hands to Xu Qi’an and Zhang Kaitai, and took their seats.

Probably knowing that the two armies of Yan and Kang are about to come to the city, the generals looked serious and did not say much to Xu Qi’an.

Zhang Kaitai looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: “The counterattack of Yankang and Kang is coming, so it seems that the Witch God Sect wants to live with us endlessly.”

All experienced generals present have a keen sense of warfare. After withdrawing to Yuyang Pass, they have done situation analysis.

The Sorcerer Sect suffered a terrible loss in this battle. It even broke through the seven cities. There are too many things to be dealt with. In this case, the correct way is to deploy troops and repair the destroyed cities while sending scouts to watch. border.

In the short term, it is impossible to start a war lightly. On the contrary, it means that the Witch God Sect will be immortal with Dafeng.

“Our troops are not strong enough”

“There was not enough food and grass. Chen Ying killed the dog officials of the household department, only to realize that the food and grass had not been transported. The dog officials of the household department deliberately concealed us.”

“Collaborating with the enemy and treason, we should copy and slash. Brothers are desperate in the front, these dog officers stabbed us in the back, son of a bitch.”

Zhang Kaitai knocked on the desk, corrected the subject, and said:

“What we have to do now is to defend Yuyang Pass, and then send a report to the court, so that the court can quickly send troops to support. But food is a problem, and the food in the warehouse cannot support the arrival of reinforcements.”

A general groaned: “Yuzhou has been a grain-producing place since ancient times. The local people will not be short of grain and can collect grain from them. We can’t trust those dog officials anymore. Let’s send people to collect grain ourselves.” /

Zhang Kaitai frowned: “This is not in compliance with the rules, and the people may not be willing. By then, don’t make a violent name, and take the initiative to give the civilian officials the handle to impeach us.”

“They will be willing.”

The local general said word by word: “The court forgot the debt 40 years ago, but the people of our three states will not forget it.”

The grain and grass matter came to an end, and the generals turned to discuss the issue of troops.

All of them frowned.

“With the speed of the imperial court’s deployment of troops, can we defend this more than 6,000 people?”

The Witch God Cult is no better than the barbarians. The barbarian siege depends on corpses to pile up. The Witch God Cult has siege equipment, a small part of which is made by itself, and some are secretly smuggled big weapons.

In the battle of Shanhaiguan, the Witch God Sect learned from the pain and summed up the reasons for the defeat. He believed that the Dafeng was able to conquer Kyushu, and heavy destruction weapons were the most important support.

So they secretly colluded with Dafeng officials, swallowed the arms, and then dismantled them. After so many years of learning to imitate, they also learned to make many siege equipment.

Including gunpowder.

However, the Sorcerer Sect does not have warlocks. The siege equipment, artillery, and crossbows they make are all mortal things, but the magical weapons that they make are very powerful.

“If you can’t hold it, you must guard. The Sorcerer Sect is a paper tiger. We will win this wave. If we can’t beat them back, we will hurt them. We will hurt them. Just like the battle of Shanhaiguan, let They have been sluggish for twenty years.”

“It’s a big deal.”

While speaking, Zhang Kaitai’s lieutenant glanced at his direct superior, and said in a deep voice:

“Chen Ying, the dog thing, left the camp without authorization. Now we have only a handful of four-rank masters, and it is difficult to stop them. I remember that Nurhega is a fourth-rank, double-fourth-rank of martial arts and wizarding systems. “

This sentence made the generals here frowned and the atmosphere was solemn.

“Tuk Tuk”

Xu Qi’an knocked on the table, attracted everyone’s attention, and asked: “Budo and wizard double cultivation? Who is this Nurhega?”

To be honest, he is now well-informed, but he rarely encounters such dual-system characters.

Somewhat surprised.

Cultivation is so difficult. It’s not easy to practice in one system. How can there be extra energy to practice other systems?

Zhang Kaitai replied to his question: “The inheritance of the throne of the subordinate countries of the witch **** is different from our Central Plains. In the system of the three kingdoms of Yan Jingkang, government affairs are handled by the ministers, and the monarchs hold the military power. Therefore, the monarchs of the past are brave and brave. Pi’s Wufu is also a veteran on the battlefield.

“And above the two, there are third-rank masters of the Witch God Sect as the national teacher. The national teacher does not ask about military affairs, but he is the person with the most power in the country. In addition to the establishment of the monarch, the national teacher has the power to decide all affairs. And the right to deny. The monarch is actually more like a commander in charge of a country’s military strength.”

It’s no wonder that Xiahou Yushu, the monarch of Yasukuni, is hailed as a handsome talent second only to Wei Gong. I wonder, these two, when the emperor is a sideline? It’s really a side job

Xu Qi’an nodded suddenly, roughly understanding the class system of theocratic supremacy.

Zhang Kaitai continued:

“Nurhega is a contemporary Yanjun. His overall planning ability may not be as good as Xiahou Yushu, but in terms of personal combat power, the two Xiahou Yushus are not his opponents. Nurhega is not only the pinnacle of the Fourth Stage, It is still the pinnacle of the four-tier dual system.

“Before the expedition, we were even ready to replace him with two, or three, four ranks. Who wants to?”

Who thinks we can’t even attack Yan.

Xu Qi’an glanced calmly at the generals present, and saw that their expressions were solemn, as if they were a little bit negative and frustrated because of Zhang Kaitai’s remarks, he nodded immediately and did not ask any more.

Listening to comrades-in-arms talking about the strength of the enemy is a morale blow.

In terms of war, Xu Qi’an had no experience, so he stopped participating, half-closed his eyes, thinking.

His silence made a few generals who knew Xu Yinluo was a master of war very disappointed.

The pinnacle of the 4th rank of the dual system is a bit difficult. Xu Qi’an weighed it repeatedly in his heart and found that he was not capable of defeating his opponent.

First of all, the superposition of different systems can produce qualitative changes. Just as Xu Qi’an used Confucian magic books to temporarily become an “all-rounder”, and single-handedly conquered Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen.

At the time, his was two grades lower than the two.

Secondly, there are strengths and weaknesses in the fourth rank. Li Miaozhen, a rising star who has been promoted to the fourth rank for half a year, encounters the fourth-rank peak powerhouses, basically being beaten.

What is the concept of the pinnacle of the four-tier dual system?

Under the third rank, not many can beat him.

“My world with a sword and a sword can pose a threat to a fourth-rank master, but it can only be a weak fourth-rank like Li Miaozhen. Moreover, it may not be able to hit the opponent. The deterrent effect of the Buddhist lion roar is very good for the mastery. The wizards in the primordial realm are not effective. If you can’t cut the knife, I will be finished.

“Master Shenshu did not wake up either. You will never wake up a person who hangs up, even if you say nsl

“The Confucian magic book is a very strong support, but I don’t have the Haoran righteous body protector. If I use it too ruthlessly, I will die first. If I don’t use it ruthlessly, I can’t kill the dual system of the 4th pinnacle at all.”

After examining his methods carefully, Xu Qi’an was a little discouraged.

In the case of not opening the link, using the fifth-rank body to kill the fourth-rank double system is too reluctant and almost impossible.

Even if he unites Li Miaozhen and Zhang Kaitai with the power of three people, it will be no problem to fight a Nurhega, but there is no shortage of masters in the army of Yan and Kang, and there are still 80,000 horses.

Outside Yuyang Pass.

The sky is blue, and on the desolate plain, densely packed troops slowly advance, followed by artillery, infantry, and cavalry, with distinct levels.

Before the artillery, there were six huge siege vehicles, drawn by twenty-eight horses. This kind of siege vehicle was manufactured by Yan Guo based on the drawings leaked by the Ministry of War.

It can be raised and lowered, with a maximum height of seven feet, which is enough to cope with the height of most of the city walls. As for those buildings in danger, even if the height is enough, the siege truck can’t drive in.

This is also the reason why Wei Yuan Siege did not carry a siege vehicle. The Yanguo checkpoint is dangerous, mostly relying on the location, and the siege vehicle is useless.

In the cavalry lineup, Nurhega rides on the back of a tall monster, resembling a horse, covered with pitch-black scales, and a sharp unicorn protruding from his forehead.

The unicorn of Yasukuni.

Nurhega’s mount is not an ordinary unicorn, and Xiahou Yushu’s love horse is the brother of a female compatriot, and both are the heirs of the psychic monster in the Jingguo Racecourse. .

“Brother Red Bear, Yuyang Pass has only less than 20,000 defenders. How long will you take it?”

Nurhega turned his head and looked at his side to ride.

It was a sturdy man in black armor. There was a vertical knife scar on his left face, from the eyebrow to the chin. This scar not only broke the look, but also ruined an eye.

So it’s a one-eyed.

This one-eyed man is equally distinguished. He is the younger brother of King Kang, the red bear of the ancient capital.

Red bears are just like their names.

This person has an extraordinary talent and amazing stamina. When he was in the refinement state, he once broke the bones and tendons of the martial arts practitioner in the Qi state.

Kang Guo went up to the temple and down to the rivers and lakes. This person’s cultivation base can rank in the top 20.

Sugudu Hongxiong squinted, looking at the towering walls of Yuyangguan, grinning: “At most half a month.”

Nurhega shook his head: “I said five days. Of course, if the situation is as I expected, then maybe three days will be enough.”

Sugudu Red Bear stared at him with eyebrows.

Nurhega laughed and said: “Wei Yuan is dead, and the morale of the soldiers is low. It is another blow to see our 80,000 horsemen approaching the city. In addition, most of Dafeng’s high-grade warriors have been damaged. Jingshan City. How many masters can there be in a small Yuyang Pass? Yes, is it enough for us to kill?”

Sugudu Red Bear nodded slowly.

The burly half-hundred man continued:

“Furthermore, our soldiers are vigorous, Wei Yuan is in the general altar, and the great army **** died in the general altar of the witch gods. Isn’t it exciting to change the angle?”

They attacked Yuyang Pass this time, they were ordered by the General Altar of the Witch God Sect, and the command sent by the national division of Yi Erbu was concise: kill!

Kill!

You can kill as many as you can, and kill as many as you can.

A repeat of the slaughter of thousands of miles ago forty years.

Nurhega looked at the big banner of the city head hunting and hunting, squinted, and said hey:

“Wei Yuan slaughtered the people of my country of Yan, and shaken the luck of the witch god. Now, it is our turn to shake the luck of Dafeng.”

Shaking luck is very simple, it is war, it is killing.

A country is made up of a single individual. The larger the population, the stronger the luck. It is self-evident whether a country with tens of thousands of people or a country with tens of thousands of people has the stronger luck.

The coalition forces of Yankang and Kang stopped, and the sound of footsteps, wheels, and armor collisions all disappeared, and there was no sound.

Xu Qi’an followed Zhang Kaitai and other generals to the top of the city, overlooking from a distance, 80,000 horses lined up neatly, like sliced ​​pieces of tofu.

These 80,000 horses feel like a small colony of ants, but the blackness is so dense that it feels suffocated and oppressive is like a tide.

The guards at the head of the city looked solemn, as if they were approaching an enemy.

Zhang Kaitai pressed the handle of the knife with a solemn expression, overlooking the army under the city, and said in a deep voice:

“The Lich God Cult is different from the monster man. The monster man has nothing but cavalry. We charge and fight on the battlefield with the monster man. We lose more and lose less. But the monster man is also very witty and rarely siege.

“The Sorcerer Sect has artillery, crossbows, siege equipment, and pawns who are good at ant-attached siege.”

Xu Qi’an suggested: “Didn’t you say that Wei Gong smashed through the hinterland of Yan Nation, Yan Nation had suffered heavy losses, and now he has assembled his troops, huh, how many troops can he dispatch?

“Maybe, they are very empty now, can we sneak around and attack the capital of Yan Country?”

Zhang Kaitai shook his head: “It’s not that simple, Nuerjah is not stupid. He must have left a minimum of troops to defend the city, and then stand firm and clear the field. Our artillery is limited and can’t afford a siege.

“Don’t let the artillery be gone, and the city has not been captured yet. Wouldn’t it be the loss of the wife and the collapse of the army. The capital of Yan Country, even Wei Gong can’t take it in a short time, let alone us.

“If you hit other cities and the front line is too long, the enemy can easily cut off our food and grass, and the brothers sent out will be sacrificed in vain.”

Xu Qi’an nodded slowly.

At this moment, he saw Yiqi stand out, and with his eyesight, he could vaguely see a burly man with frosty white temples and sharp eyes like knives, with a strong momentum.

Under the crotch, a black scaly beast is a vicious horse.

Nurhega? He made a guess in his heart.

Then, including Xu Qi’an, the guards at the head of the city saw the monarch of the Yan Kingdom, holding his saber high, turning his horse’s head, and roaring towards his army:

“The sons of the country of Yan, half a month ago, the Dafeng army invaded our territory and slaughtered seven cities. Parents and brothers were slaughtered, their homes were burned to the scorched earth, and their homes were burnt to the ground. Have you forgotten them?”

The Yan Nation army uttered an overwhelming roar: “I haven’t forgotten!”

Nurhega continues to growl:

“This is our hatred, but it is not a shame. Half a month ago, Wei Yuanzhan died in Jingshan City and was punishable by our shaman god. He used his life to pay the price for his actions. The **** of the army was honored. , But so.

“The God of War, who is proud of Dafeng, was easily killed by our Sorcerer Cult and became the stepping stone to our fame as Kyushu. Now, it is time for the weak Dafeng to taste our anger.

“We must let Dafeng know that the territory of the Witch God Sect cannot be violated. Those who kill our country will pay the blood debts.”

Every time he said, the spirit of the soldiers of the country of Yan rose by one point, and their confidence rose by one point.

In the end, the momentum is like a rainbow.

Kang’s army was also affected by it, and its fighting spirit was high.

This speech was very successful, because it had a solid foundation and a firm basis: Wei Yuan was killed by our shaman teaching!

In the half month since the Battle of Jingshan City ended, Yan, Kangjing and the Three Kingdoms trumpeted the news that Wei Yuan had been punished in the general altar, which excited the people, soldiers, and even people of the Three Kingdoms.

Don’t care about whether the propaganda of the witch **** is suspected of avoiding the most important, the fact is the fact.

Especially the people of Yan people, hearing this news can be said to be cheered by the whole country.

The great military **** who was famous in the battle of Shanhaiguan and made the veterans who participated in this battle heard of it was not killed by our wizard god.

The people who had been complaining turned their anger into joy, and the army that had lost confidence regained its morale.

Chengtou, Xu Qi’an’s face is gloomy.

Nurhega’s blade pointed at Yuyang Pass and shouted: “Siege!”

With an order, the war started.

Two ten thousand foot soldiers from Yankang and Kang took the lead in charging. They pushed three siege vehicles, carried ladders more than ten meters long, and carried hundreds of kilograms of siege hammers.

Behind them, archers, artillery, and crossbows all fired to cover the pawns to attack the city.

On the head of the city, the drums are like thunder and the horns are blowing.

Boom, boom, boom!

The artillery mounted on the female wall fired successively. One after another, the artillery smashed into the enemy army, and the flesh and blood flew across the board.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of the bed crossbow is clear, and a series of white crossbow arrows are shot at a distance. The lethality of the crossbow arrows is inferior to that of the artillery, but the range and penetration are better.

So the target of the crossbow arrow is the artillery, crossbow, and enemy masters farther away.

Under the sixth-grade bronze skin and iron bones, no martial artist can block a blow from the magic weapon.

Even if it is the sixth grade, if you take a shot, you will get serious injuries.

In addition to artillery and bed crossbows, thousands of soldiers bent their bows and set up arrows, shooting downwards.

Half Zhuxiang time, more than a thousand pawns died in the charge.

Screams of killing, screams, roar of artillery, and the sound of crossbow arrows intertwined into a **** picture.

The only thing that can move slowly is the siege vehicle.

The siege vehicle is huge, made of a mixture of steel and wood. Even if it is shot a few times, it will not cause much damage. There are also high-grade martial arts guards on it to prevent the destruction of artillery and crossbow arrows.

In the steel cabin of every siege vehicle, there are nearly a hundred elite soldiers.

Once these people are on the top of the city, they can tear a hole in the fire net in a short time, reducing the pressure on the soldiers who are climbing below.

Xu Qi’an, staring at the siege soldiers below~IndoMTL.com~, turned his eyes and found that a siege vehicle was approaching the city wall.

The artillery hurriedly raised the muzzle and aimed at the siege vehicle.

A few shells went down, only to make it tremble violently, cracked, and could not be destroyed.

“Peace!”

Xu Qi’an patted the lower back lightly.

The Taiping sword came out of its sheath clang and whizzed away. The dark golden light of the sword was as fast as a line. It swiped lightly on several load-bearing pillars. The next moment, it “clicked” repeatedly, and the siege vehicle fell apart.

The heavy steel cabin crashed down, killing dozens of foot soldiers.

Peerless soldiers are invincible.

At the head of the city, the surrounding Dafeng soldiers burst into loud cheers, shouting “Xu Yinluo” and their morale skyrocketed.

In the distance, in the cavalry camp, Nurhega frowned, looked around, and asked, “Who is that person?”
