Chapter 571 Fierce battle at Beijingmen(1/3)
The soldiers on the city tower also discovered something strange at the city gate, and immediately summoned the surrounding soldiers to begin besieging Chen An and his subordinate soldiers at the city gate.
However, most of the soldiers were resting in nearby vacant residences and could not organize a defense immediately. They had to come down from the horse road to the city.
But it was too late, the city gate was already firmly occupied by Chen An's close soldiers.
At the same time, the door latch had also been put down by the soldiers, and they took out the giant ax that had been prepared and swung it continuously to cut off the iron chain on the suspension bridge.
The Mohe cavalry outside the door had seen the suspension bridge being lowered from a distance, and they were even more excited. The city was about to be broken. Jinyang City, which had trapped them for a long time, was finally about to be broken.
Under the command of Chen An, more than ten of his close soldiers guarded the direction of the city gate, resisting the attack of the rest of the Zhou army, allowing Xiang Shoucheng to regain control of the city gate in a short time.
Difficult to achieve within.
Although Xiang Shoucheng's martial arts skills were superior to Chen An's, he was after all a young master of the Prince's House who had never been on the battlefield, and his combat experience was completely incomparable to Chen An's.
After losing the initiative, they were beaten back by Chen An.
While Chen An was drawing his sword, he also used words to disturb Xiang Shoucheng's mind: "Nephew Xiang Xian, why are you working for the Zhou Dynasty, which is declining and in danger! Your Xiang family was originally the Pengcheng uncle of Zhou Dynasty.
This title was won by your grandfather on the battlefield with swords and spears, and it was not stolen. As a result, the foolish emperor took away the title of your Xiang family because of a trivial matter related to water transportation. How ignorant he was.
, you have gone through many twists and turns to become a military cavalry officer from the seventh rank, and you are still a casual official with no real power! How about working with me, I will guarantee you prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life, rein in your horse and become a marquis, how about it?!
"
"Ha," Xiang Shoucheng couldn't help but sneer, and the sword in his hand became faster, "I don't know what kind of great wealth the Mohe people promised you, so that you can betray the Zhou Dynasty!"
Chen An seemed not to be able to hear the sarcasm in Xiang Shoucheng's words: "Ten thousand taels of gold, fifty thousand taels of silver! Three hundred hectares of fertile land, and a fourth-rank general, plus a Jinxian county son who has not been easy for three generations.
!How about it!? The price is not low! But with the martial arts talents of Xiang Xianxi you and your father, if you are willing to surrender to Prince Shunqing, the price will definitely be higher than mine!"
Xiang Shoucheng didn't answer any more, he just unfolded the swordsmanship in his hand, one move after another.
Although the Xiang family was defeated in water transport and party struggles, they could still distinguish between right and wrong.
If you agree to Chen An's conditions today, how will you face the ancestors of the Xiang family in the future?
While there was a stalemate at the city gate, there was also slight chaos on top of the city tower.
"A large number of cavalry are approaching! Be alert!"
"Woo..." The low horn sounds also sounded one after another.
"Archers prepare!"
"Crossbowman ready!"
"Rocket! Release!"
Countless rockets were shot towards the front of the city wall.
The rocket is not only more lethal, but can also illuminate the front with its fire.
When Xiang Shoucheng saw the Mohe army approaching, he became more and more anxious. The swordsmanship in his hand became chaotic and revealed flaws.
Chen An, who has been in the military for many years, would not miss such a good opportunity. He waved his sword and forced Xiang Shoucheng to return to the defense. Then he struck back with his hand and shot a short arrow from Chen An's wrist guard.
Without checking, Xiang Shoucheng was hit in the chest by Chen An's arrow.
Just when Chen An was about to deal with Xiang Shoucheng, a square-shaped halberd flew from a distance, forcing Chen An to put away his sword and defend.
Despite this, Chen An was still knocked back five steps by this blow.
Xiang Shoucheng, who fell to the ground after being shot by an arrow, saw Fang Tian's painted halberd and his face lit up with joy, "Dad!"
In the darkness, you couldn't see Chen An's face clearly, but you could tell from his tone that he was not in a good mood at the moment.
"Xiang Ming!?"
Fang Tian's painted halberd flew back and fell into Xiang Shoucheng's hand.
"I am Xiang Ming, the commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The rebels in front will be captured soon. If they resist stubbornly, they will be killed without mercy."
After Xiang Ming killed the two soldiers who intercepted him, he immediately flew towards Chen An.
The rebels under Chen An also knew that it was a matter of life and death. If Xiang Ming were to capture Chen An and close the city gate, they would have no way to survive.
At worst, it could be beheading to show the public, but at worst, the three tribes could be exterminated.
The rebels picked up the spears dropped by the killed city gate soldiers and stepped forward to stop Xiang Ming.
The rebels in charge of the city gate were also trying desperately to open the city gate. At this moment, the bolt was down, and all that was left was to use brute force to open the gate.
The Zhou army was constantly gathering, and they could only struggle to open the gate and create conditions for the Mohe army to enter the city.
Xiang Ming and Xiang Shoucheng, father and son, join forces to fight against the enemy.
Xiang Ming's Fang Tian Hua Ji suppressed Chen An's Yan Ling Dao, but it only took a dozen moves to defeat Chen An, who was left paralyzed and could only parry.
Xiang Shoucheng's situation is not optimistic. He has just been hit by Chen An's arrow and palm, and he is already fighting with injuries. Moreover, he is holding a long sword, so the competition is okay, but the battle on the battlefield is somewhat disadvantageous. More than ten dozen
None of the rebels stepped forward to fight Xiang Ming head-on. They just used the length of their spears to limit Xiang Ming's advance. Faced with the blockade of dozens of spears, Xiang Shoucheng's sword skills were difficult to use, so he could only
Back step by step.
"Woo!!!"
The reinforcements arriving from Beijingmen also heard the sound of the trumpet.
"No! There is an enemy attack at Beijingmen! The cavalry will follow me first, and the infantry will come later!" After giving the order, the monk Xuan Cheng who led the team quickly accelerated towards Beijingmen.
The swiftness of a single step is better than the galloping of a horse.
The Nine Figures and Six Seated Figures body technique is one of the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin.
There are fifty-four meditation postures for Shaolin disciples, each of which can sit quietly for twelve hours. The Nine Figures and Six Sitting Methods are derived from this. They are unpredictable and elusive. They seem to be sitting but not sitting, and they seem to be walking but not walking.
.
However, although the movement technique is wonderful, it is not as fast as catching a cicada in eight steps or crossing a river with a reed.
At this time, the battle situation at Beijingmen was also urgent. The Mohe cavalry vanguard was only about 400 steps away from the suspension bridge at Beijingmen, and the Mohe cavalry could arrive in a few dozen seconds.
In desperation, Xiang Ming's true energy exploded with all his strength.
That's right, it's true essence. Xiang Ming was originally a real Yuan Hua realm warrior.
However, Xiang Ming suffered too many traumas during the war when he was young. As a result, his energy and blood began to dry up at the age when he knew his destiny, and his strength seriously declined.
At this moment, Xiang Ming still showed the strength expected of an ordinary Yuan Hua realm master in a short period of time. With Fang Tian's halberd in hand, he killed seven rebels in a row, broke through the rebel blockade, and rushed towards the city gate.
When Chen An saw that Xiang Ming had broken through the defense and was trying to prevent his men from opening the city gate, he was about to step forward to stop him when he felt a sword coming from behind. The sword was fast and urgent, targeting the right chest, so Chen An could only
He rolled to the ground. Although his posture was a bit obscene, it was still very practical. He managed to avoid the vital part and was only scratched on his left arm by Xiang Ming's sword.
When Xiang Shoucheng, who was originally on one side, saw that Xiang Ming had broken through the defense, he immediately endured his injuries and stepped forward to entangle Chen An, preventing him from rushing to the city gate.
"Oh! There are still some ways. I was unprepared just now, now I want to see what you are capable of!" Seeing that Chen An had dodged his confident sword, the sword in Xiang Ming's hand became faster.
.Swish, swipe three swords sideways, leaving another wound on Chen An's body while he was anxious.
Xiang Shoucheng on the other side had already taken the opportunity to rush to the city gate, swept across with two halberds, and killed Chen An's soldiers who were opening the city gate.
But at this time, the suspension bridge has been lowered and the inner city gate has been opened wide.
The Mohe cavalry were only a stone's throw away from the suspension bridge.
"Fire arrows!" The Zhou soldiers on the tower kept raining down arrows, trying to stop the Mohe cavalry from charging.
However, there were only less than 3,000 men and horses on the Beijingmen city wall at this time. Although the rain of arrows killed and injured many Mohe cavalry, it was not enough to hinder the charge of the Mohe army.
Xiang Ming knew in his heart that it was too late to raise the suspension bridge, so he tightened his grip on the Fangtian Painted Halberd and rushed out of the suspension bridge, shouting: "Shou Cheng, I leave the city gate to you. Don't lose me, Xiang."
A disgrace!"
With a halberd in hand, he can stop thousands of armies alone.
I, Xiang Ming, have been a soldier for most of my life. Although I was convicted of water transportation, I am still the pioneer general of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the son of Pengcheng Bo Xiang Chong!
At this time, Xiang Ming was no longer at his peak, but the withered energy and blood in his body began to boil.
This is the secret method of his Xiang clan - breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat!
Ignite the energy and blood, and in a short period of time burst out with strength that far exceeds its own limit. In terms of mystery, it is still superior to the Demon Sect's method of disintegrating demons.
It can be used repeatedly, and the increase in strength is not inferior to the method of disintegrating the demon.
This was created by Xiang Bawang, the most powerful general in the world at that time.
The Battle of Julu and the Battle of Pengcheng relied on the method of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, making Xiang Bawang, who was originally invincible in the world, even more unbeatable. Guan Ying Fan Kuai, who was originally able to defeat King Xiang with thirty moves, suddenly became
defeat.
After King Xiang's death, this unique skill spread among the Xiang family.
Emperor Gaozu did not punish all the members of the Xiang clan. Instead, he granted Xiang Bo the title of Marquis of Sheyang. Marquis of Tao, Pinggao, and Xuanwu were all Xiang surnames, and they were given the surname Liu.
After the collapse of the Later Han Dynasty, the direct lineage of the Xiang family once again restored the Xiang family from the surname Liu.
Facing the charging Mohe cavalry, Xiang Ming tightened his grip on the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his palm and took the initiative to attack.
This was a fatal situation, and Xiang Ming could feel the fear in his heart. He was afraid that if he waited a little longer, he would throw down his halberd and run for his life.
"kill!"
