She Is Not a Witch Chapter 45: Yanray Mountain City

Yanyu Island, Wuxin City.

The fiery red forest leaves are all over the mountains and fields. Below the city built by the mountains is a slowly flowing river. Now on the other side of the river is an army of black flags and black armor stationed. Although these soldiers are dressed in different clothes, most of them are rattan armor. And leather armor, but the morale is like a rainbow, on the other side of the river to build siege equipment day and night, making the defenders in the city anxious.

It was another day at sunset, and the captain guarding the city walked down from the top of the city, followed by several generals.

"Is there a reply from Luo Jing?" He walked on the stone steps of the city wall, his eyes occasionally sweeping over the towers and garrisons in the city.

"There is no reply from Luojing, but according to some of our colleagues in Luojing, Xinjun is busy cleaning up the mess after King Dai's attack, and preparing troops to resist the southward movement of the Beifu army."

"Although His Majesty King Huainan has repelled the Beifu army for the time being, that is only a part of it. There is still a part of about 120,000 troops that have already gone straight west and directly attacked Luojing."

"Zhuo Muyeguo is a general. Seeing that many waters in the southeast cannot be used, he directly dispatched the cavalry to take Luojing."

"Although there are only 120,000 people in this group, most of them are elite cavalry who have spent most of their lives on the grassland. The new king is terrified, and it is too late to protect himself, let alone come to support us."

"It seems that there is no hope for Luo Jing's side. What about King Huainan's side? Their garrison is closer to Yanyu Island. If they send their troops south, they may not be able to save them."

"The king of Huainan did reply, but he said that he will not be able to spare some troops for support next month. We still need to stick to it this month."

"Stay for a month?" The captain sneered, and then looked at the large army with black flags and armor outside.

"In half a month, I'll probably be wiped out by those people across from me." He shook his head, and then slowly walked down the wall with his hands behind his back.

It was silent all the way for a long time, before returning to the barracks, he suddenly stopped and looked towards a corner of the city.

"Over there at the Yuyan Red Ray Gate..." If you can invite the disciples from the Yuyan Red Ray Gate to help you, it will be easy to defend Wuxin City.

The people below looked at each other for a few moments, and then said slowly: "The Yuyan Red Ray Sect is the direct descendant of Chifeng, and they are very 'disappointed' with the royal family."

The next few people didn't say anything, and the captain also knew what disappointment meant, so I'm afraid he was still a little upset. If the first emperor hadn't passed away, the Yuyan Hongmen might do something now.

Since the death of the emperor, the situation in this world has changed in a few days. Even the state shepherds and soldiers who were originally loyal to the dynasty are now gradually confused and unable to find the meaning of loyalty. But being rebelled by the new king, the other two kings refused to give up. If someone can ascend to the throne quickly and there is no dispute in the dynasty, it may be possible to reverse it and suppress the voices and waves of opposition.

But the battle between the new king and the two kings, as well as the Beifu army's marching southward, made them have to think about what the future holds. , and to whom, will the state city and the people be handed over to those rebels? That is simply a life gamble, if the other party still refuses to let me go, how will it end.

"I'll stick to it for another month. If it doesn't work, then I can only say that destiny is like this. I can only do this." The captain looked up to the sky and sighed, then walked into the barracks to rest.

Three days later.

In the past, the calm river was covered with long iron chains, and then many bamboo rafts and wooden boards were laid, and pairs of black-clad and black-armored foreign warriors stepped on the river like tides, splashing water, and all kinds of shouting voices were heard. The river and the city rise.

On the city wall, the defenders with firearms kept shooting. Among them, there were continuous rockets thrown in the city. The wooden boards falling on the river lit up bursts of flames and black smoke. On the city wall, soldiers wearing black scarves and black leather armor bit their knives, quickly climbed up with both hands, and then jumped to the top of the city.

Most of them were born in Qilei Qizhou, and they have long adapted to the life of climbing in the mountains.

The blade made of rotten silver iron has a long arc. Although it is easy to rust, it is also extremely sharp. Leaping into the city and starting to light the fire, bursts of black smoke rose in the city.

"Up, up, up! Fire!" Seeing that the situation at the top of the city is unfavorable, it is about to fall. In the camp below, there are captains and soldiers rushing forward. Stand, pull the bolt on the firearm, and fire.

The green smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and after a round of shooting, many black scarf soldiers fell down directly. Although they were agile, their equipment was very simple, and they could not withstand the firearms of the dynasty soldiers at all.

"Substitute! Reload and fire!" Seeing that the effect was achieved, the commanding captain was extremely calm and ordered the front row to retreat, while the soldiers at the back stepped forward holding their firecrackers, and then squatted down to aim.

The short blazing fire flashed again, bursts of gunshots rang out one after another, and then a row of about a dozen soldiers in black scarves fell down, and the pressure on this corner of the city wall was lightened.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, the soldiers of the Black Turban Army behind blew their eagle whistles, and the cool whistle echoed in the sky.

Soon, three black shadows swooped down from the sky, and then a sickle of a crescent moon passed by, hooking and cutting the commanding captain's neck, and three fourth-level flying sicklemen swooped down on the black eagle Then, jumping into the group of soldiers, holding the short and sharp sickle in both hands, he slashed and rotated quickly, disrupting the rhythm of shooting, and killed all the soldiers.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves!" Seeing these flying scythe riders suddenly appearing in the black scarf army, a group of Modao soldiers in heavy armor also emerged from the garrison defending the city.

Compared to other soldiers, these Modao sergeants are all selected tall, strong and powerful people, each of them is about two meters tall, and they are dressed in three layers of infantry armor. The whole body is up and down, only the eyes are exposed Part of it, holding a heavy Mo Dao in his hand, swung it down with all his might, making a screaming sound in the air.

After these Mo Dao sergeants walked up the city wall, the black scarf army who attacked before splashed to a stop like a tide hitting a boulder. The Mo Dao swung down like a giant axe, often splitting people in half.

In this way, with these Modao sergeants as an iron wall, the soldiers defending the city hold firearms and follow behind to assist in shooting. The combination of the two is extremely powerful. The former only needs to concentrate on dealing with the enemies in front of them without worrying about the rear and sides. The attack, and the soldiers holding firearms also have a solid movable barrier, so they can shoot with peace of mind.

Faced with such a combination, the black scarf soldiers on the top of the city retreated steadily, and in order to save the situation, some scythe riders riding black eagles had to brave the firearms and go straight to the array of soldiers behind , I want to mess up the rhythm with this.

But after gaining experience this time, the soldiers guarding the city also became calm. First, they dispersed one after another to avoid being entangled and strangled by the flying sickle and chains. Firearm with long firecrackers.

These big red firearms with thick wrists are printed with the black lacquer seal of the workshop.

The soldiers on the side lit the fuse with a torch, and then the soldiers in front carried their firearms and aimed at the eagle-riding scythemen attacking from the sky.

Brilliant sparks erupted from the back of the vermilion long barrel, and then a rocket shot out, leaving eye-catching flame trails in the air, and the air was also full of thick green smoke.

The eye-catching rocket hit the black eagle in the sky and stopped its dive, then flew upside down for a few meters with the people and the eagle, and then exploded suddenly, igniting a gorgeous ball of flames in the sky, and then burst into flames. Rain and blood splattered, and the charred corpses fell into the river outside the city like mud.

Given the strength of the Plantagenet Dynasty, even the defenders of the local states have sufficient firearms reserves. Facing the rebels of the Seven Continents, Yanyu Continent insisted on holding on for several days with the defenders of one continent. The moon never sets.

After the initial chaos, the defenders in the city finally started to counterattack. First, the eye-catching 'Night Breaking Arrows' pierced the sky one after another, knocking down and repelling the black eagle scythemen hovering in the sky, and then adjusted A few cannons on the hillside in the city smashed the bamboo rafts and wooden planks on the river outside the city. Finally, a team of soldiers with firearms cleaned the city wall step by step, and then ignited and burned the long ladders and wooden boards on the top of the city. wooden frame.

Although the offensive that had been prepared for several weeks was close to success, it ended in failure at the critical juncture. Even though the number of these black scarves was more than four times that of the defenders, they still could not take down the ordinary city inside the dynasty. , not to mention the natural fortress like Tianfengguan.

Xuanfeng's army, although mighty and mighty, lacked accumulation, strict discipline and military strategy after all, so it was still unable to win a decisive victory in the battle.

The black scarf army was gradually retreating at dusk, the riverside and under the city wall were full of residual black smoke and corpses, all kinds of broken flagpoles and swords were randomly inserted on the ground, and the river water was also stained with blood. A lot of debris and dead bodies flowed down the river.

After the battle ended, the guarding captain led his generals to climb up the city wall again to have a look. Only the dried dark red blood remained on his golden and bronze black hammer armor, and the belly armor was even torn open. A hole, but luckily it didn't penetrate after all.

"Have they retreated?" He looked at the camp on the other side.

"Yes, my lord, the soldiers stationed upstream and downstream reported that they did not see any enemy troops crossing the river to make a surprise attack."

"It seems that the tactics of these black scarves are still very young, but it is also fortunate. If they took the opportunity to attack by surprise and took down the upstream or downstream, we would have been a lot more passive. Now there are no more soldiers. Can be sent out to rescue."

"Yes, my lord. Although the Xuanyi Palace has the support of these rebels from Qilei Seven Continents, the inheritance of Xuanyi Palace is mostly government affairs and criminal law skills, and they are not good at leading troops in battle."

"Xuanyi Palace, alas..." The captain sighed, as if recalling something.

"The autumn official back then should be strict, and he is also someone I admire. It's a pity."

Afterwards, he led people to inspect and appease him, and then he walked down to the top of the city.

"Let someone send a letter to the state shepherd, saying that we have defended the attack and killed thousands of enemies, but we are still consuming a lot. I hope that we can recruit troops from the state capital for supplies."

"Yes, my lord."

In the following week, the black scarf soldiers who held high the Xuanfeng Black Banner launched several tentative attacks again, but they failed to reap any benefits. Getting closer.

In the main tent of the Black Turban Barracks on the other side of the river, a group of people were discussing around a long table.

"I can't wait any longer. We must take down Wuxin City within this week." A military strategist waving a folding fan said. The jade pendant with tassels is like the son of a family in the dynasty.

"The informant in the city reported that King Huainan has promised to send troops. If we can't win, it will be even more difficult to win in the future."

"The army under King Huainan is not these weak state guards. Among them are many elite frontier soldiers, and there are also disciples who come to follow the army. We will only be more disadvantageous to the superior."

"What Wu Xingkui said is very true, but we can't do it here. There are many swordsmen among the hundreds of tribes in the mountain, but firearms are expensive and there are no generals. It is difficult to defeat these defenders." The old man in Xuanyi clapped his hands and answered.

After listening, Wu Xingkui shook his head, then walked back and forth in the big tent, tapping his palms with a folding fan from time to time, thinking hard.

After a while, he suddenly turned his head and looked at everyone.

"I think of one person who may help our army to win."

"Who is it?" Everyone looked at him.

"He is a big brother I knew in the early years. His name is Huang Gu. He worshiped and practiced in Yonglei Mansion. He is a first-class strongman. If he helps, this city will definitely be taken."

"But Yonglei Mansion..." Hearing this, everyone had to hesitate.

Yonglei Mansion is an official sect of Lei Xiaze in the Seven Continents of Qie Lei. Most of the disciples trained will enter the government and serve as the guards of the sergeant's mansion. Qi Lei Qizhou is now revived as the country of Xin Therefore, the factions of the past dynasty government like Yonglei Mansion are naturally excluded.

"Unfortunate times, how can you be so pedantic! My elder brother is the queen of Thunder God, who is the orthodox descendant of Lei Lei Qizhou, and will definitely be able to revive the prestige of You Xin!" Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Wu Xingkui slapped the folding fan on the table Up, wake everyone up.

"Then according to Master Wu, I will send someone to invite that strong man quickly."

"No ~IndoMTL.com~ I want to go in person this time." He shook his head.

"Prepare me a black-maned black water horse that can walk on water, and I will rush back to Lei Xiaze immediately to find him."

Afterwards, everyone prepared for it, and soon a tall black steed ran out of the camp. Its shoulders had flying mane, and its lower legs were covered with a few scales, like a hybrid of a dragon and a horse.

This man-carrying handsome monster galloped up, stepped on the turbulent river, splashed the waves, then galloped rapidly, and soon disappeared into the night.
