The counterattack of the villains

There is a big city at the foot of Zhonghe Peak in Diancang Mountain in Nanzhao, called Dali City. It is the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom in this world and the most important holy city of Baimiao people. The Temple of Nuwa is located here.

At the same time on Earth, this city was still called Yangjubaa City. It was not renamed Dali City until Duan Siping unified the southwest and established the Dali Kingdom more than 200 years later.

However, although the fairy sword world has a clear background of the times, strictly speaking it belongs to the overhead world.

In this world, you can see the place names and things of all dynasties of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.

Today's Nanzhao Kingdom is honored by the Patriarch of the Baimiao tribe, the Nanman King.

But two months ago, Zhao Maisi, a Qingping official (equivalent to the prime minister of the Central Plains court), suddenly led the black Miao people to launch a rebellion, intending to usurp the Nanzhao regime.

The ancestor of Zhao Maisi was originally from the Tang Dynasty. He was captured during the war between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao. Because he was proficient in Confucianism, he was appreciated by the Nanman king at that time and ordered him to be the teacher of the royal family.

He successively taught three generations of Nanman kings, actively promoted the friendly relationship between Nanzhao and Datang, and played a vital role in promoting the economic and cultural exchanges between Datang and Nanzhao.

Therefore, the Zhao family rose rapidly in Nanzhao and gradually became a top family. They also intermarried with the Black Miao for generations, and finally fully integrated into Nanzhao and became a member of the Black Miao nationality.

Zhao Maisi is the seventh generation and is a representative of the Black Miao nationality.

This person has been extremely intelligent and scheming since he was a child, and at the same time has a corresponding ambition.

He had been preparing for this rebellion for 20 years, and secretly attracted many barbarian tribes. Once it was launched, it was like a thunderbolt.

He took Shanchan City, the eastern capital of Nanzhao, as his national capital, and established himself as the witch king. He raised an army of 12 black Miao people, and [-] other barbarian and Yi people's miscellaneous troops to attack the Bai Miao people's territory.

Bai Miao was caught off guard and couldn't organize an effective resistance at all. He retreated steadily for a while and suffered heavy casualties.

In just two months, almost all the land was lost, and most of the armed forces were lost. In the end, they had to retreat to Dali City for the final resistance.

In the original plot, due to the misunderstanding between Zixuan and Lin Yeping, Zixuan left a letter and returned to Nanzhao.

When the rebellion happened, she barely resisted Heimiao's offensive with the strength of her Nuwa descendants.

In the end, as a result of this rebellion, the Nanzhao Kingdom was split, and the black seedlings and white seedlings were independent.

It was not until more than 80 years later that Zixuan's daughter Lin Qing'er married Zhao Mai's descendants, that is, the witch king of that generation, and the relationship between black and white Miao was eased.

It's a pity that in the end, it was destroyed by worshiping the moon again, and the black and white Miao, who had shown signs of restoring their relationship, became enemies again.

It was not until a hundred years later that Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er exposed the true face of Baiyue, and through Zhao Linger's self-sacrifice, wiped out Baiyue and the water monster, and the black and white Miao really reunited as a family, and respected the Patriarch Baimiao of Dali as king.

But now because Zixuan did not return to Nanzhao, the Bai Miao people lost the most important power, which led to the precarious situation of Bai Miao, and the catastrophe of national subjugation is only at hand.

……

Dali City Wall.

Already covered with silver hair, but her face is still young, the holy lady is still like a young woman, standing beside a burly middle-aged man wearing a fishtail cap with white seedlings, white clothes inside, and armor on the outside.

The man was none other than Fenglong, the contemporary Nanman King. He hung a seedling knife at his waist and held a bow and arrow in his hand, looking down at the city with a solemn expression.

At this time, the sky is covered with clouds, the scenery is magnificent, the black seedlings and the barbarian army are clamoring endlessly under the city, and the ferocious faces are faintly visible.

"Feng Long, look at today's situation. I have an army of tens of thousands of black seedlings. It is really easy to flatten this Dali city. I think you should hurry up and surrender!"

"There is an old saying that those who know the current affairs are heroes. You must know that God's will cannot be violated. It is God's destiny for me, Hei Miao, to rule Nanzhao. If you act against the sky, you will only miss the wealth and lives of the soldiers and civilians in this city."

The rebels were ready to attack the city, and the black seedling general Hells stood within a stone's throw away and shouted to Feng Long on the city wall.

His words were somewhat bluffing, although with the number of rebels, it was only a matter of time before Dali City was broken, but it was by no means as easy as he said.

The city wall of Dali is two feet five feet high and more than three feet thick. How can it be so easy to break through?
However, he was caught off guard in the early stage, and suffered huge losses, resulting in a shortage of troops, and there were not so many troops to guard the empty fortified city.

Moreover, the Heimiao rebellion came too suddenly, and the attack on Dali City was too fast, and Dali City had no time to prepare supplies for the defense of the city.

Not to mention the stone bullets used for bows and arrows and trebuchets, even the hot oil of rolling stones and wood has not been prepared in time.

But even so, Heimiao had to pay a huge price if he wanted to break through Dali City.

Feng Long was furious when he heard the words, and shouted violently: "Shut up, you, as Miao people, have united with foreign tribes to slaughter my Nanzhao people, even the rebellious officials and thieves dare to talk about the destiny, so I will die."

After saying this, he quickly pulled out an arrow from the quiver at his waist, opened his bow and set the arrow, and shot at Hell's chest with one arrow.

Feng Leong's arm strength is not weak, this arrow is strong and fast, and the range is far beyond the ordinary sense of an arrow.

Hearth had no time to dodge, so he raised the Miao Dao reflexively, pushed his left hand on the blade, and blocked it in front of his chest.

Nanzhao's Miao Dao is very similar to Tang Heng Dao, except that it has no tip and is nearly twice as wide as Tang Heng Dao. It is not the kind used by Qi's army.

On the contrary, it is more like an extended version of the watermelon knife, so the chopping power of the seedling knife is more powerful, but it cannot be used for stabbing, and the defense area is relatively wide.

"Ding"

As soon as Hearth lifted the Miao Dao, the arrow flew towards him, with a crisp sound, the arrow hit the blade, and he finally blocked the arrow.

Hells retreated five steps in a row before letting go of the strength. Beads of sweat broke out uncontrollably on his forehead, and he was secretly terrified in his heart. This Fenglong's bravery really lived up to its reputation.

A group of black seedling warriors holding rattan shields rushed forward immediately, protecting Hells tightly.

Hears was shocked, filled with hatred, pulled out the Miao Dao angrily and swung forward, shouting angrily: "Siege the city."

"Beep beep..."

The horn sounded in a hurry, which was the signal to attack the city, and the trebuchet at the rear was launched immediately, throwing pieces of stone bullets towards the top of the city.

In an instant, the Baimiao warriors at the top of the city were crushed to death and injured countless people, and the shrill screams resounded from the top of the city.

At the same time as the trebuchet was launched, the barbarian army also carried long ladders, pushed the carts, and rushed towards the city walls and gates howling.

The knife and shield hand held the rattan shield above his head, resisting the arrows shot down from the city wall.

The production method of those rattan shields is from the same source as the rattan armor soldiers in the Three Kingdoms period. They are all made of oil, and the defense against cold weapons is not under the Mongolian iron shields of the Tang Dynasty.

However, because of the disadvantage of being afraid of fire and flammability, since Zhuge Liang burned the rattan armor soldiers in the Three Kingdoms period, the Nanman tribes have never used it to make rattan armor, and at most they have used it to make rattan shields.

In this way, even if it is lit, it can be thrown away at any time.

Although Heimiao's offensive was so fierce and fast that Dali City didn't have time to prepare for the battle, but things like rockets would be prepared at any time.

Therefore, when the barbarians charged, Hong Leong immediately ordered the use of rockets.

As soon as the rocket came out, the vine shields of many sword and shield soldiers were ignited. They had to throw away the vine shields and charge forward against the rain of arrows.

Feng Leong put Jian Yu's key care object on the Chongche.

Compared with ants attacking the city, rushing cars pose a greater threat to the city gate.

Once the city gates were breached, the rebels were able to break through Dali City with minimal casualties.

And as long as the city gate is not broken, the rebels will have to pay a heavy price if they want to break the city.

After all, there were not many archers in Dali City. After focusing on dealing with the charging chariots, the first wave of 300 barbarians charged only lost two to three hundred people, and they approached the city wall smoothly.

With a long ladder, the cruel ant-attached siege began.

Due to the lack of hot oil from rolling stones and wood, the Baimiao warriors defending the city had to use wooden forks to push down the long ladder.

But every time it was pushed down, the barbarians would put it back up again immediately.

Although the city defenders will have a huge advantage in this kind of battle, it consumes a lot of their physical strength.

The weight of the long ladder itself is not light, and coupled with the weight of the barbarians climbing on it, it takes a lot of effort to push it down, and it usually takes several people to work together to do it.

Therefore, in a siege battle, the attacking party will suffer heavy casualties, so it usually requires several times, or even ten times more troops than the defending party, to be able to win.

The defenders of the city are often exhausted for life, and when the defenders exhaust their morale, it is time for the city to break down.

At this time, although the number of rebels was less than ten times that of the Bai Miao warriors, it was nearly eight times as large. As long as the tactics were properly arranged, it would take only a day or two to break through Dali.

After the start of the battle, the Nanman King Feng Long commanded the defense of the city, and the holy nun led a group of Bai Miao priests to heal the injured Bai Miao warriors.

The offensive of the barbarians came wave after wave, almost non-stop.

Each wave of attack is 5000 people. Whenever Hells finds that the siege troops have reached a certain number of casualties, but there is no sign of attacking the city wall, he will order the withdrawal of troops, and then change to another wave.

The withdrawn soldiers returned to the rear to rest, and it was always the new force in full strength that launched the attack.

He just wanted to use this method of fighting with wheels to kill Bai Miao who was defending the city.

At the same time, it is also to maintain the balance of the barbarian tribes and avoid causing dissatisfaction among the barbarian chiefs.

Everyone's casualties were similar, and no one could pick a reason.

The reason why those barbarians are willing to be cannon fodder and take charge of the most brutal siege battles is naturally because the benefits promised by Zhao Maisi are enough to tempt them.

The strength of the Heimiao headquarters will maintain the stability of the Nanzhao Kingdom in the future. Unlike the barbarian tribes who go away after a wave, naturally there cannot be too much loss.

This battle lasted from morning till dusk, and Bai Miao couldn't rest for a moment, exhausting a lot. During several attacks in the afternoon, some barbarians rushed to the top of the city.

But each time, Feng Leong led a group of highly skilled warriors to annihilate the barbarians rushing to the top of the city.

But after fighting for a whole day, they are almost at the end of their battles.

However, the more than 20 siege troops on the Heimiao side have only rotated more than half, and there are still ten siege troops that have been in a state of rest.

Even if Hei Miao didn't plan to attack the city overnight, it was no problem to send a small army to keep attacking Dali so that the Bai Miao defenders could not get a rest.

Both Fenglong and Shenggu felt hopeless in their hearts. If this situation continues, tomorrow will be the day when the city of Dali will be destroyed and the Baimiao people will perish.

……

After being harassed all night, the Baimiao warriors were extremely exhausted.

As soon as the day dawned, Hells immediately ordered the siege to continue. The Bai Miao people held on for half a day, and by the end of the afternoon, they were no longer able to resist.

The barbarians rushed up the city wall like a tide, and the entire Baimiao warrior army was defeated right now, and the situation had reached a critical moment.

Just when Feng Leong was about to order to evacuate the city wall and retreat to the Nuwa Temple, a turning point finally appeared.

In the sky, a Fangtian painted halberd flew from the northeast like a meteor from the sky.

Li Mu put his arms around his chest and stood on the head of the halberd. Nuyuan, Zixuan, and Lin Yeping sat sideways on the halberd pole, standing firmly.

They all carried a long sword. In the past six months, the three of them practiced swordsmanship with Li Mu, and all of them improved greatly.

Nvyuan's previous fighting style relied on her pair of sharp claws.

But Li Mu didn't want others to know that she was a demon, so he passed on to her the "Wu Shuang Sword Art" he created himself.

As for the two friends Zixuan and Lin Yeping, of course he would not cherish his broom, as long as he didn't pass on the Shushan School's sword formulas, other martial arts would be fine.

When Zixuan saw the situation below, she became very anxious.

At this time, a lot of barbarians had rushed up the city wall, and they stood firm, resisting the attack of the Baimiao warrior, so that the Baimiao warrior could no longer push down the long ladder.

If it goes on like this, it only takes a moment and a half. When there are more and more barbarians on the city wall, the Baimiao warriors can only be defeated.

Li Mu also knew that it was the critical moment, and Fang Tianji's speed would be a few minutes faster as soon as his mana exploded.

He pressed down the body of the halberd and rushed towards the city wall obliquely.

When they were less than ten feet away from the city wall, the three people sitting on the halberd poles jumped up and rushed towards the city wall.

"Clang Clang"

After three sounds of long swords being unsheathed, each of the three leaped to the sky above a battle group, swiping their long swords repeatedly, and swaying sword energy.

"Puff puff……"

"Ugh..."

Blood splattered on the barbarian's body immediately, and he fell back, knocking down a group of his own people.

Seeing an opportunity, the Baimiao warriors rushed forward with a cry and a whoosh, with Miao knives and spears in their hands desperately calling out to the fallen barbarians.

After finishing off a group of barbarians, Zixuan and the others rushed to the side of the long ladder, beheaded the barbarians who had just climbed up, and then overturned the long ladder with one palm.

Li Mu's eyes swept across the battlefield, and when he saw a burly man in white clothes and armor on the outside, being besieged by a group of barbarians, his eyes stopped immediately.

He immediately judged that this person was unusual, because no matter whether it was a white miao warrior or a barbarian soldier, they were all dressed in common clothes and had no armor at all.

Those who wore leather armor and tie armor were basically generals who gave orders, so Li Mu jumped towards that without hesitation, and the Fang Tianji under his feet twirled and fell into his palm.

There was still a distance of three or four feet from the battle group, and Li Mu slashed at the barbarians with a halberd in the air.

"boom"

"what……"

Feng Long was already red-eyed, and he desperately swung the Miao Dao in his hand, slashing and killing the barbarians who were besieging him from the front.

Suddenly, he slashed out with a knife, and he cut through the air, because for some reason, those barbarians flew up without warning, dancing and screaming in mid-air.

The next moment, a blue light flashed, and the flying barbarians froze, their screams stopped abruptly, and they all flew towards the city wall, crashing down the city wall.

The barbarians were flying into the city, which meant that the attack came from outside the city.

Feng Long looked out of the city wall subconsciously, and saw a handsome man in white clothes Shengxue, Fengshen handsome, holding a square sky painted halberd, coming from outside the city wall, and landed right in front of him.

"Brother is good at martial arts." Li Mu nodded to Feng Long, and after a word of praise, Fang Tianji swept across in his hand, and swept away a group of barbarians who rushed over.

Feng Long, who was stunned, immediately came back to his senses, and quickly asked: "This brother's name? Where did he come from?"

Li Mu said quickly: "My lord, Jiang Ming, is a good friend of Miss Zixuan, the high priest of the aristocracy. She entrusted her to help me. If you have anything to say, wait until you defeat the rebels."

After saying this, Li Mu didn't say any more, but strode forward, swept the rushing barbarians down one by one, and then overturned the long ladder one by one.

The most urgent task is to clean up the barbarians who climbed up the city wall, and the barbarians on the city wall are mixed with the Baimiao warrior, so he can't use a large-scale attack.

Only after destroying the barbarians on the city wall and repelling this wave of attacks, can he activate the unparalleled mowing mode and slaughter the rebels.

On the other side, Lin Yeping, Zixuan, and Nuyuan are each in charge of a section of the city wall.

They unfolded their sword tactics, and the city wall was immediately covered with their afterimages. As the long swords flickered, the barbarians fell to the ground one after another.

The Baimiao warriors gained a precious breath, gathered together immediately, formed an array, followed behind the three and pushed forward.

In front of Lin Yeping, there were more than a dozen barbarians, crowded together, stabbing at him with spears.

The Baimiao warriors following behind Lin Yeping couldn't help but tighten their hearts, and broke into a cold sweat for Lin Yeping.

There was almost no space between the dozen or so barbarians, which was also the basis for the army to deal with martial arts masters.

As long as you don't give the opponent room to move around, no matter how clever your body skills are, it will be of no use.

Once a martial arts master loses the advantage of body skills, most of his martial arts will be useless, and in the end he can only be exhausted to death.

Faced with such a situation, those with profound skills like Zixuan and Nuyuan usually swayed a sword aura and forcibly passed by.

But although doing this is simple, it consumes a lot of skill, and only those with profound skills like them have the confidence to spend so much.

But Lin Yeping would not operate like this, because he could not afford to squander.

Facing the stabbing spears, he didn't fight the opponent hard, but jumped up the female wall and killed the barbarians from the side.

Faced with turning the spearhead and facing the spear that was stabbed by him, he fell back, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the female wall, and he did not fall off the city wall.

Like a tumbler, he turned half a circle outside the female wall, avoided the stabbing spear, and then turned back. With a sweep of the long sword, the barbarians who attacked him fell down clutching their necks.

Seeing this, the Baimiao warriors behind Lin Yeping cheered together, and their morale was greatly boosted.

At that moment, he mustered up all his strength, let out a cry, and suddenly rushed forward, smashing the remaining few barbarians into a sieve.

With the participation of Li Mu and others, the barbarians who charged up the city wall were quickly wiped out.

Even the long ladders that the barbarians stood up again and planned to build up to the city wall were nearly cut off by the sword energy, and the horns of the retreating troops sounded soon.

Hells, who was supervising the battle below, cursed bitterly, and shouted angrily: "Shoot the stone bullet, hit me."

Just now, when Li Mu and the others flew Fang Tianji up the city wall, he watched it carefully, knowing that the other party had strong reinforcements coming, and the battle to attack Dali City would definitely be full of twists and turns.

He didn't think that he couldn't break through this point. The Baimiao warrior was already at the end of his strength, and it was almost negligible.

Even if the other party comes to the practitioner, how many people can he kill?

As long as it's not a god who comes, an army of tens of thousands will consume and kill the opponent.

Because they miscalculated the strength of Li Mu and others, the Black Miao and the barbarians were destined to learn a painful lesson.
