Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 449 Breaking the City Easily
Woo!Suddenly, there was a dull sound of horns in the distance, and the sound entered the clouds, shaking the world.The soldiers on the city wall looked forward one after another, and saw dozens of warships appearing on the river in the distance. These warships were docking, and teams of elite soldiers and horses surged out of the warships like the tide.

In less than a moment, black soldiers and horses lined up on the river bank. Every soldier was wearing thick leather armor, holding a long knife and spear in his hand, and his face showed a fierce murderous look.The flags cover the sky and block out the sun, like the speed of the forest, and the speed of the wind.At first glance, it is a rare elite.

"Yangzhou Army! The Yangzhou Army is here!"

"It's over now, there are so many soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, our small county can't stop it at all!"

Not only the soldiers on the city wall, but even the county lieutenant of Huaiyin City and other county soldiers, dubos and village chiefs looked like they were about to suffer bad luck.They can hold official positions, and they naturally have family backgrounds, and they are not ordinary people who have been mediocre for a lifetime.Maybe I don't know much about the general trend of the world, but at least I have heard about the major events that have happened in the world in the past few years.

The news of Gao Cheng going north to join the alliance and unify Yangzhou has spread throughout Xuzhou. These people have all heard of Gao Cheng’s name, especially Gao Cheng’s rise from Huai’an to the present. The thought of being an enemy to such a hero makes me feel guilty for a while.

"Cheer up! The traitor Gao Cheng dares to invade my city, this time I must teach him how to look good! Everyone only needs to hold on for three days, and Tao Gong's reinforcements will arrive. When the time comes, we will be able to defeat the enemy!" A young man in brocade clothes and a pair of ill-fitting armor led people to the city wall and shouted loudly.

The young man kept shouting loudly on the city wall, intending to inspire the fighting will of the soldiers and horses under his command.

The county lieutenant and the other Dubo chiefs exchanged glances with each other, and they could see the helplessness and fear in each other's eyes. This young man was the county magistrate of Huaiyin.He is a descendant of the Cao family in Xuzhou.

"What should we do? Do we want to defend the city at all costs and wait for reinforcements as the county magistrate said?" When the county magistrate walked a little further away, a confidant of the county lieutenant quietly approached and whispered in the county lieutenant's ear asked.

The county lieutenant narrowed his eyes, with a sneer on his face, and replied: "The Yangzhou army is so elite, if we try our best to defend the city, we will all die on the top of the city! As long as the opponent attacks the city with all its strength, let alone three days, we will I can't even stop it for a day! My life is gone, so what else can I fight for?"

"The right general is also from Xuzhou. It is said that he was forced to leave Yangzhou because of a conflict with the Cao family. Now that the right general has invaded Xuzhou, the Cao family will definitely try to resist... But what does this have to do with us? It's all Xuzhou Man, I think it would be nice to have General You as Xuzhou Mu!"

The general around him thought it was true, nodded and said: "Yes, if it is the Yuzhou Army or the Yanzhou Army that attacked Xuzhou, we must try our best to fight. But General You and we are both from Xuzhou, so why bother our own family to fight our own family?" Woolen cloth!"

……

The 20 troops did not all disembark, but 10 people were left on the warships to guard against the other side of the Huai River.The north of the water is yang, and the south of the water is yin.Huaiyin is located on the south bank of the Huaihe River, close to Hongze, and is an important town that controls the Huaihe River and Hongze.

It's a pity that this important town was not taken seriously when the world was stable. Only when the world is in chaos can it show its value.Tao Qian didn't pay enough attention to Huaiyin. It wasn't until Gao Cheng's navy sailed down the river and went directly into Guangling to attack Huaiyin that he suddenly realized that he quickly mobilized a large army to support him.

"Listen, people on the city wall, now our Yangzhou army of 30 soldiers is approaching the city. If you know what you want, you should return to the city as soon as possible. If you are obstinate and stubborn, don't blame our soldiers for being ruthless!"

After the army lined up, Dong Xi got on his horse and came to the front of the army, and shouted loudly.The sound spread throughout the city under the blessing of Gang Qi, and he deliberately falsely reported the number of soldiers and horses by [-].In order to defeat others without fighting.

The soldiers on the city wall were trembling all over, with cold sweat on their foreheads.They were ordinary people yesterday, and they were forced to climb the city wall, but they didn't change their minds.

With anger on his face, the Huaiyin county magistrate strode to the battlements, snatched the bow and arrow from the guards around him, and with a bang, the long arrow pierced through the air, turned into a streamer and shot towards Dong Xi below.

"Come and attack the city if you have the guts!"

This disciple of the Cao family in Xuzhou is not a useless waste, he has already cultivated to the seventh level of strength training.At the same time, there are four levels of soul cultivation.With the help of the five senses, this long arrow is very precise.

Dong Xi laughed, and moved the long spear forward in his hand, shaking the flying long arrow into pieces.

Not far away, Gao Cheng, Xi Zhicai, and Lu Su stood on the podium and looked towards the city wall. Xi Zhicai glanced at him and immediately said with a smile: "There are no soul-refining monks on the city wall, so don't worry about mass destruction." Spells can attack cities!"

After many years of cultivation, he has already broken through the realm of soul refining, and now his spiritual power is catching up with Lu Su's and can cover the entire city.

Gao Cheng nodded. His strength far surpassed that of Xi Zhicai. He had already discovered this, and he also keenly sensed the existence of a soul-refining master in the city. However, he did not climb the city wall. He should be the Bu Zhi that Lu Su mentioned.

"My lord!" Dong Xi galloped forward and asked for instructions.

Gao Cheng's expression remained unchanged, he took the Kunwu sword from Zhou Cang's hand beside him, pointed at the city in front of him with the sword, and said calmly: "Siege the city!"

Boom!

Accompanied by Gao Cheng's order, the deafening sound of war drums sounded, Dong Xi got off his horse, shouted loudly, and personally rushed towards the city wall with five thousand elites.First, it was covered by a rain of arrows, and then the ladders and siege vehicles were erected on the top of the city.Dong Xi took the lead, put his feet on the ladder, and climbed onto the city wall.

Swish!Gang Qi swept across, and in an instant, twenty or thirty Huaiyin soldiers fell to the ground screaming...

For the battle on the city wall, Gao Cheng didn't care at all. Huaiyin didn't have a second-tier second-tier master other than the invisible steppe. In the city, Gao Cheng really doubted his ability to let him fulfill his promise to come to see him.

kill!

Dong Xi acted as Feng Rui to open the way ahead, and the other soldiers came to the city wall one by one without expending too much effort, and then formed formations, defeating the ghosts and wolves killed by the Huaiyin soldiers.

"General, spare your life! I will surrender!"

The county lieutenant and his subordinates, who hadn't planned to try their best to defend the city, turned green when they saw this scene, and hurriedly hissed, causing the soldiers under their command to kneel on the ground.

"Dog thief, how dare you surrender to the enemy? I'll kill you!" The county magistrate in brocade was leading a hard fight with his guards. When he heard this, he was struck by lightning. Then his eyes turned red and he twitched The spear shot towards the direction of the county lieutenant.

puff!

A long arrow with a strong aura turned into an illusory tiger in the void, like a tiger descending the mountain, and pounced on the county magistrate's chest with a puff, and with a bang, a bloody hole exploded in the county magistrate's chest instantly .The body flew upside down and knocked down several soldiers.

Dong Xi put the bow and arrow he had just snatched in his hand still on the ground, and raised his spear again.Hehe sneered and said, "Just now you shot me with an arrow, now I will pay you back, it's even!"

"The magistrate is dead!"

"Run away, run away!"

After the county magistrate was shot and killed by Dong Xi, the soldiers of Huaiyin County no longer had the slightest strength to resist. Thousands of people threw down their weapons and clothes representing the soldiers on the ground, and dispersed in a crowd.

After a while.The gate of Huaiyin City burst open.
