Ji Tang

Chapter 1218 Psychological Shadows
What kind of monster is this?

But the other party obviously had no intention of explaining. They were like a group of mechanical walking monsters. Every step forward made the city wall tremble.

Liu Laoer smiled ferociously: "Kill!"

shuh~
The long knife flashed past, and both the person and the knife in front of him were cut in two.

Without looking at the enemies still squirming on the ground, he led three thousand heavy armored infantry into thirty squads, holding Mo Dao.Wherever they passed by, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty consciously retreated and faced the heavy armored infantry. Before they could react, they went to meet their Ala!
The rest of the soldiers gave up resisting the enemy on top of the city, and instead concentrated on defending the city wall to prevent more enemies from coming up.

But is it that simple?The big cannibal still built the city wall one after another. There were enemies everywhere on the top of the three-mile city, and it was impossible to resist them.

The enemies were so densely packed that it was impossible to see anything ten steps away.

Cheng Yaojin didn't know how many enemies he had killed. At this time, he was already exhausted and could only wave the sword mechanically.Suddenly he felt the sword was empty, and he suddenly woke up.

"General, general, look!"

The soldiers were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. They pointed at the steel behemoth that passed them and continued to kill the enemy, pressing towards the enemy like a bulldozer.Anyone who resists will be cut off in two.

"Send the order, don't worry about this, follow them to resist the enemy troops and climb to the top of the city."

Cheng Yaojin understood that when the heavy armored infantry was dispatched, these enemies on the city walls were nothing to worry about.Now is the critical moment to quickly replace the vacancy that just appeared.

"promise!"

Liu Laoer has never fought such a battle before, as if the enemy in front of him is like paper. No matter whether the opponent is a small soldier or a general, there is no need to think about it at all. He will go through it with one sword and break it in two. Everyone is equal!
The Big Eater finally realized something was wrong. Most of the northern section of the city wall had been occupied by the Big Eater, and only sporadic Tang troops were still resisting.When this fully armored army appeared and saw one knife after another, just like chopping up melons and vegetables, they panicked and were frightened.The steps moved backward involuntarily.

Every time they retreated, Cheng Yaojin, who was following behind him, immediately took over the defense deployment. Soon, the southern section of the city wall was completely controlled by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. '

But at the top of the northern section of the city, there were still giant cannibals who were constantly climbing up the city. It was so densely packed that people were sitting next to each other, and even getting a foothold became a problem!

"kill!"

Liu Laoer looked at the opponent with a ferocious smile. Without saying a word, he pressed directly on him, one knife after another. He didn't know how many knives he swung. Once someone was exhausted, someone else would take over.

The movement between advancement and retreat is as pleasing to the eye as a machine!
The general at the vanguard of Dashi was breaking out in a cold sweat. When his vision suddenly became clear, just when he was excited and wanted to attack, he found that there was no one around him.

Liu Laoer deliberately let him go. Mo Dao seemed to have eyes. Every knife passed by him, but none of them hit him.

But he didn't feel lucky, but felt cold all over. He tried to attack the opponent, but the knife was curled, but the opponent acted like nothing happened. Maybe he was impatient. With an elbow strike, he was like a kite with its string broken. All the same, he fell to the ground and vomited blood.

Soon, Cheng Yaojin discovered him and found out that he was General Dashi, so he had him tied up.

The Great Eater had no commander and was in disarray. Liu Laoer advanced slowly, and soon the city was empty.He immediately arranged for heavy armored infantry to guard the battlements in three steps. Anyone who wanted to climb the city wall would have their heads separated.

In the Dashi military camp far behind, the commander was a young general in his thirties. He looked solemn and waved the flag constantly, mobilizing the army to attack the city.

But he soon discovered something was wrong, because the war on the top of the city was over, but the Dashi soldiers who wanted to climb to the top of the city came one after another, but could no longer climb to the top of the city.

Just when he was confused, he saw a horse galloping in front of him.

"General, it's not good, it's on top of the city."

The other person looked horrified, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Tell me, what's going on? We've obviously reached the top of the city, why were we suddenly defeated?"

This person is none other than Amuwiye, who was entrusted with an important task by Seld.Just at dawn today, he led 20 elite troops northward. In order to deceive others and prevent the Tang army from seeing the flaw, he mobilized all his troops and attacked Ximen Pass at all costs.

In their expectation, this attack was quite sudden. The Tang army was used to the offensive for many days in Yi Jing, so they would be caught off guard. This was their opportunity. In order to be surprised this time, they made a lot of preparations.

They also dispatched [-] of the most elite troops. This army has made numerous military exploits since the founding of the country and has fought at least hundreds of wars. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the elite among the elite.

He thought he could take down the city wall in one go, but just when he thought he was about to succeed, he found that he was driven off the city wall again.

The ordering soldier swallowed his saliva and said in shock: "General, the other side has a large army covered with armor, holding long knives. They can cut all people and objects in two. Even if we chop at the opponent's body, we can't break the armor. On top of the city. The tens of thousands of troops who scaled the city wall were all killed in battle!"

"The commander-in-chief is also dead!"

He didn't know that their general had been captured at this time, he just thought that the other party had also died in the battle!

"what?"

Amuwiye was horrified!

Full body armor?A clean break?

"Heavy infantry!"

Amuwiye was greatly moved. Through the description of the messenger, he immediately knew what kind of army it was.Thinking of that army that appeared during the war with the Eastern Roman Empire, even now, the senior officials of Dashi are still frightened!
The heavy armored infantry of the Eastern Roman Empire only had 800 people, but the damage it caused to the Dashi army still makes me feel horrified every time I mention it.

Until that army was completely wiped out, afterward, statistics showed that Dashi had lost tens of thousands of elites.

A mere 800 people actually caused such shocking casualties. Only then did they realize that the Eastern Roman Empire was indeed an empire with a long history, and its heritage was simply unfathomable!
Even when it is extremely weak, Dashi can only suppress it, but cannot completely destroy the country. Now it can only form a stalemate, and no one can do anything to the other.

"how many people?"

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said expressionlessly.

"At least 1000 people!"

This was his estimate. The city was only so big and what could be seen was limited. He could only estimate based on what he saw.

One thousand?

Amuvi also breathed a sigh of relief. If there were only a thousand, it would still be within his acceptable range. Although many soldiers would have to be sacrificed to deal with this army, at least it would not make him despair.

If there were three to five thousand people, he would turn around and leave without saying a word.If such an army were the size of Xiangcheng, it would be a one-sided war.The other party can kill you, but you cannot kill the other party. How can you fight such a battle?
"Pass the order down, Ming Jin withdraws!"

At this point, it is no longer necessary to continue fighting, it will only increase casualties.With heavy armored infantry assisting in defending the city, this battle will be difficult!

Thinking of this, he quickly wrote to Seld, telling him that heavy armored infantry had appeared in the Tang Army and asking him to be careful.Now that it appears here, what about the northern Permanent Ross?
Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

If it does appear, and Seld is not prepared, there will probably be heavy casualties!
By this time, nearly 2000 soldiers had died in the siege, and today there were [-] dead.If we add in the soldiers who were killed by crossbows in the first place, Dashi's losses now amount to more than [-] people. Such losses are heartbreaking for Dashi's family and their business.

These are all the elites of Dashi. It hurts for each one of them, let alone [-]?
No, it must not be like this!
Thinking of the 20 newly recruited soldiers who were about to arrive, he immediately knew what to do.There is an old saying in the Eastern Empire that a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist. He does not feel sorry for the number of new soldiers in these newly occupied areas.

More deaths will also help Dashi control the newly incorporated areas, achieving multiple goals with one stone!
At this time, above Guancheng, looking at the army receding like a tide, Cheng Yaojin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but what followed was endless fear.

It was almost, just a small step that the Ximen Pass was broken.

If the general had not sent out the personal guard battalion for support, the consequences would have been disastrous!
"General, go and see General Guo, he"

Cheng Yaojin stood blankly on the spot, his eyes were red, he grabbed the other party's collar and said tremblingly: "What's wrong with Lao Guo? Tell me, what's wrong with Lao Guo?"

"Gong Lu, calm down!"

At this time, Liu Laoer came with a team of people, carrying a stretcher behind him.

Cheng Yaojin seemed not to have heard anything. He pushed aside everyone and came to the stretcher. He looked at Guo Xiaoke lying on it and burst into tears for a while!

"Old man, why did you leave? Why are you so cruel? If you leave, what's the point of leaving me, Old Cheng Huozhong? It's better to just die."

Liu Laoer's face was full of dark lines. He wanted to say something, but he held it back.

"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely kill a few more big food brats, so you can go with peace of mind!"

"Cough cough!"

"Old Cheng, how much do you wish I would die!"

Cheng Yaojin was still in grief and could not react when he heard this.

When he looked up, he was dumbfounded. He saw Guo Xiaoke looking at him faintly, his eyes full of murderous intent!
"Tell me, why don't you tell me? You bastard, can't you expect me to be better? Are you saying that I am dead without even looking at it? This matter is not over yet, wait until I am better."

"what!"

Guo Xiaoke's eyes widened, he glared at Cheng Yaojin, and cursed loudly: "Why the hell are you pinching me?"

Cheng Yaojin chuckled: "Aren't you afraid of dreaming? It doesn't seem to be the case now. You have a good rest, I will take the first step!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation, but what followed was hearty laughter.

As long as you're not dead, you bastard, you dare to trick me into crying, you're not done yet?See how I deal with you! ——
In the small courtyard, Guo Xiaoke was lying on the bed, while Cheng Yaojin and Ping Yang stood aside and watched nervously.Ji Song was sitting in a wheelchair, putting one hand on the other person's pulse while thinking!
Finally, with everyone on tenterhooks, they let go of each other's wrist.

"How's it going? You're not going to die, are you?"

Cheng Yaojin said nervously, and Guo Xiaoke was so angry that he almost cursed his mother, what is this?

"It's okay. I'm lucky this time. No internal organs were injured. As long as the wound is taken care of and no inflammation occurs, you'll be fine!"

Shaking his head, he was also worried for Guo Xiaoke. If it had been a few millimeters deeper, he would have almost disemboweled him.Then he wrote down the prescription and asked someone to take the medicine.

"Show me your wounds!"

As he said that, regardless of his coy expression, he opened his shirt and saw the stitched wound on the other person's stomach.

"Sigh~"

Even Cheng Yaojin and Pingyang, who were accustomed to seeing life and death, took a breath of air at this time.I saw the wound stretching from the lungs to the stomach, and a hideous suture line appeared in front of me.

"Hiss~ You're damn lucky. You're not dead even after this. I have to say you're lucky!"

It's impossible to hear anything kind from Lao Cheng's mouth in this life, and it's probably unlikely in the next life either!
Pingyang bowed slightly to Guo Xiaoke and said solemnly: "I would like to thank the general for his life and death for the Tang Dynasty. I would like to thank the general on behalf of your majesty!"

"Princess, you don't have to be like this. I have been on the battlefield for most of my life, and I have long been used to seeing life and death. I thought I was dead this time, but who would have thought that it would be like this, and I haven't died yet. Since God won't accept me, there will always be a chance. A day of revenge.”

"Princess, don't take it to heart!"

Ji Song stopped the two people who were still talking nonsense and said: "You have a good rest first, and you will stay here during this period. If anything happens, I can treat you in time."

After saying that, he left the room, followed closely by Pingyang and Cheng Yaojin!
Arriving at the yard, Ji Song looked directly at Cheng Yaojin and said, "I already know what happened. I can't blame you this time. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

"It can be seen from this siege that the opponent's coach is definitely not the previous Seld, but someone else. Although we don't know what happened to the opponent, we have to guard against it."

Cheng Yaojin was also frightened at this time, and said: "It can be seen that the opponent's coach is very ruthless, and he is attacking the city regardless of casualties. In addition, we were caught off guard. If you hadn't sent reinforcements, I am afraid that I and others would have been "

"It is not a pity for Lao Guo and I to die, but if the Ximen Pass is broken, it will be unworthy of Your Majesty and will put you, the princess, and the Western Region in danger. As the guard of the Ximen Pass, I am careless and will not If you can detect the opponent's movements in time, please give me a penalty, General!"

After speaking, he knelt down on one knee. For the always proud man to do this, it shows what he was thinking.

Ji Song lamented and quickly helped the other party up and said: "You are a bad boy. This has nothing to do with you. A wise man will make mistakes after all his considerations. What's more, our army cannot detect the opponent's movements at all. The big food will have a radius of hundreds of miles." Everything has been wiped out, we have been prepared for this!"

Just now, he received news that basically all the scouts sent before had been wiped out. Even if there were some who escaped by chance, they would not be able to make contact with the city before the battle.

Although there are tamed falcons, they are still beasts. Hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered on the ground. Even gods have to go around, let alone a beast?

"General, the investigation is clear!"

At this time, Liu Laoer came to the small courtyard and said solemnly.
