Chapter 372: Advance

Feeling a strong wind coming towards his face, Ye Guan's face was inconvenient, and his fighting spirit surged out, knocking the cold arrow away. When he looked closely, he saw that the city was in chaos. The ruined siege equipment, the dead bodies of enemy soldiers, the charred ground, and the sporadic smoke filled the entire city. As soon as he poked his head out, a strong smell of blood came to his face, which was much stronger than the smell on the city wall.

"Swoosh."

Another sound of breaking through the air, Ye Guan turned his head slightly and grabbed the cold arrow. With his reach and cultivation, the arrow feathers at this speed were very slow in front of him, and it was impossible to hurt him at all. This time he saw it clearly. The cold arrow was shot from the remains of a destroyed city tower not far away. It was not a bow or arrow, but a powerful crossbow, otherwise it would not have been able to hurt people when shooting at the top of the city at this distance.

After a closer look, I found that there was an enemy soldier who fired a cold arrow about half the distance below the city wall, but the overall number was not large. If the archers were arranged to stare at a few people and release the bait, they could kill these people as soon as possible, but I wonder why Ding Jiang didn't make such arrangements.

"Dongdong.Dongdongdong."

In the distance, the sound of drum beats came. When I looked up, I saw figures gathering in the distance, which was not very real, but the sounds that came proved that the enemy's attack had begun.

Ye Guan looked expressionless, took a step back and asked Ding Jiang beside him: "How come yours didn't solve these cold arrows? After a while, the siege battle began. Aren't they allowed to shoot our sergeants?"

"This is how I arranged it before." Ding Jiang replied in a low voice: "But this is the trap they shot. The few people who shot arrows were just bait. If I arranged for people to hunt them, other hidden people would appear and shoot our archers. So, before finding all their positions, I asked the sergeants not to poke their heads out."

"The enemy is coming." Ye Guan said: "The battle begins soon, this matter must be resolved now, you arrange for garrison!" After saying that, before Ding Jiang could react, Ye Guan's figure turned into a long rainbow, jumped straight off the city and landed directly on the battlefield in front of the city.

As soon as he landed on the ground, strong blood penetrated into his nose, causing his whole body to be shocked. He had already known this smell, but he had not smelled it for a long time. With the help of the gray moonlight, Ye Guan's figure moved quickly, crossing the accumulated enemy corpses and broken rushing cars and other engineering equipment on the ground, and headed straight towards the enemy crossbowman he had discovered just now.

With the blessing of the wind fighting spirit, he was extremely fast and arrived in the blink of an eye. After reaching a city-pushing tower, the enemy soldiers who had just released the crossbow were still carefully observing the movements at the top of the city through the gap, without even noticed that anyone had come behind him. Beside him, there were also these three crossbowmen. They were lying on the ground without moving, holding the crossbow arrows in their hands, and the crossbow strings were tight, ready to be activated at all times.

As soon as the figure moved, the wind fighting spirit swept forward with its body. Ye Guan used an extremely fast speed to launch four attacks, and then his figure flashed and he rushed down a wreckage.

The four enemy troops hidden behind the wreckage of the city car had no idea what was going on. They felt their bodies trembled and suddenly felt their chests were empty. Then they subconsciously lowered their heads, but found a huge blood hole in their chest, and blood was gushing out. The next moment, a heart-wrenching pain and strong darkness surged at the same time. Before they could scream, they had already died of death.

Ye Guan launched four attacks in an instant and directly killed four enemy troops. The speed was extremely fast and there was no trace. Several enemy troops even died without knowing how they died.

In the same way, Ye Guan used his body skills to kill more than a dozen enemy troops again, and he stopped until he could no longer find it in an obvious position. The whole thing took a very short time. When Ding Jiang found Ye Guan's figure, he had already killed all the enemy troops who released the hidden arrows.

At this moment, in the distance, you can see a pair of neatly arranged enemy troops approaching. Under the moonlight, densely packed, like water scales rising from the river, stepping on the ground with neat steps, making waves of "steps". The movement of the war drums became louder, and they were like thunder. The enemy's phalanx was pushing forward, and Ye Guan had not yet returned. Ding Jiang's face changed drastically. He immediately ordered the city gate to open and a team of soldiers went out of the city to welcome General Ye back.

As soon as he issued the order, he saw Ye Guan's figure moving slightly, and his whole body turned into a stream of light, jumping on the city wall a few times, and then stood steadily on the city wall. This action stunned Ding Jiang and the soldiers on the top of the city. You know, the city wall of Zhu'an City is very high, about ten feet long. It would be very difficult for ordinary people to jump up, let alone jumping up the ladder. But looking at Ye Guan's appearance, he had no effort to get up the city wall. He had finished it after jumping for a few times, and his face was not blushing or his heart was beating, and his expression was still calm.

During the days when his body recovered, Ye Guan had always felt that his power was rising. He had not practiced deliberately, but the fighting spirit in his body had been condensed and fused. He vaguely felt that he wanted to break through the shackles of warriors and enter the level of a martial artist. This feeling was very mysterious. If it were a few days ago, he would not have considered jumping down such a high city wall, let alone coming up. But now, doing all this is so easy, as if walking in the garden.

He himself didn't know why, but he just felt that he could do it, so he did it. Of course, he did this not to show off his might, but to have some intentions.

First of all, after a brief understanding, Ye Guan knew that although the soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion seemed to have good morale, they were always being crushed by the enemy after several days of war. This city was still a dead city, fighting to the death. Many soldiers might have other ideas in their minds. If this continues, lifelong disaster will directly affect the morale of the soldiers. To solve this problem, we must find ways to improve the morale of the soldiers, and easily killing the hidden crossbowmen of the enemy by themselves is the beginning of this matter, letting the soldiers know that when Ye Guan comes back, the situation of the war will change.

Secondly, this is also the most direct intention. A bunch of crossbowmen hides in the dark. If the enemy starts attacking and they have been planning to release the hidden arrows for a long time, it will inevitably cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers on the top of the city. This is a completely avoidable thing, and Ye Guan doesn't mind doing it.

It is true that Ding Jiang is a good general, experienced and has a deep experience, but in the case of a huge gap in military strength between the enemy and us, he could only trap the city and minimize his casualties. He did not think about counterattacks, but the soldiers in his hands were really limited, so he did not dare to act rashly. From his strategy to deal with enemy crossbowmen just now, it can be seen that Ding Jiang was very cautious about this battle. This book was nothing, but in the long run, it would definitely affect morale. The tiger and wolf army in the Eastern Prince's Mansion made several crossbowmen unable to rise. What was it like?

Ye Guan stood in front of Ding Jiang. Ding Jiang saw that his expression and expression changed, and his inner excitement leaked out without any concealment. Ding Jiang did this, let alone the soldiers on the city wall. Ye Guan was able to change the situation of the battle, which was not empty talk.

"The enemy is coming soon, let's set up defense." Ye Guan smiled slightly at Ding Jiang. There was no need to say anything more at this time, everything was silent.

Ding Jiang immediately nodded and ordered all members to be on guard and prepare for the enemy to attack the city.

There were two sergeants of the garrison on the city wall, and two thousand people were all filled with them. The walls of Zhu'an City were wide, and two thousand defenders were on the city wall, so they didn't feel that it was too crowded. At this moment, each sergeant was ready to fight with the enemy.

"call……"

A few flames passed by the sky and rushed straight to the inside of Zhu'an City. With the sound of violent explosions, the flames in the city soared into the sky. With the flash of fire, Ye Guan clearly saw the enemy's square formation, densely packed, and the front row had reached about a mile in front of the city wall. All kinds of siege equipment were available in the square formation, and it seemed that they were going to fight a tough battle.

"This time they may have prepared small trenchers to attack the city wall. Is the mobile team ready?" Ye Guan looked at the enemy formation that was very close under the moonlight. Today, the moon was hazy, but the distance was not far away, and it was a bit blurry, but based on experience, Ye Guan could still guess one or two. The enemy's attack this time was different from the previous times he knew. It seemed that he was going to launch a general attack.

"It's already prepared. A brigade is broken into two teams and is ready to be on one side of the city." Ding Jiang said: "If they use a catapult to attack the city wall, I will immediately order the cavalry lying on both sides to immediately kill and destroy the equipment."

Ye Guan nodded slightly when he heard this and stopped talking.

He is the commander of this unit, but now Ding Jiang is in charge of combat command, Ye Guan doesn't say much, just stands on the city wall. If there is any abnormal movement in the enemy's army, he will also discover it immediately.

As the sound of the thunderous drumbeat became closer and closer, the enemy advanced half a mile of the city wall, and then moved forward, entering the range of the archers. At this distance, the enemy stopped the square formation, and a row of enemy troops in the front raised large shields, hiding their entire body behind. In the square formation, several siege equipment were slowly pushed over, and the huge city-storming vehicles and city-pushing tower were pushed to the front row.

"Rocket preparation." Seeing this, Ding Jiang immediately ordered the crossbowman above the city to hang the bow and arrow, ready to release the rocket at any time.

The sound of drumbeats in the enemy's phalanx stopped, and all the enemy stopped moving. For a moment, the entire city wall behind Zhu'an City was silent. In the dim night, you could only vaguely hear the sound of soldiers gasping for a slight breath. The spirits of the soldiers on both sides were tense, and the battle was about to begin.

"call……"

Several more flames broke through the sky and came straight to Zhu'an City. At this moment, the first formation in the front row of the enemy moved, and the sound of drum beats was heard again. The enemy in the front row held high a shield, and the siege equipment was then pushed, slowly advancing towards the gate of Zhu'an City.

"shooting!"

After entering the archer's range, Ding Jiang issued an attack order without hesitation. Ten thousand swords were fired at the same time, and thousands of rockets crossed the sky, igniting the air in front of the city.
