Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 456 Siege
Gao Cheng casually killed the middle-aged man who sent the letter, and then said in a cold voice: "Jiang Qin, Dong Xi, you all are ready to attack the city tomorrow! Even without the Chen family as the internal support, our army can still break through the city! Chen Gui took the city that originally belonged to me to negotiate terms with me, it was a good idea, but it's a pity I didn't give him this chance!"

When he was speaking, he clasped his hands, and the fire flashed, and the letter in his hand instantly turned into flying ashes.

In fact, in the letter sent by Chen Gui, the words were humble, and his position was placed very low. Unfortunately, Gao Cheng had already made up his mind to move the Chen family from Guangling and completely control the entire county.So Gao Cheng made a deliberate gesture and labeled Chen Gui and Chen Deng as arrogant and conceited.

Now the middle-aged man who sent the letter is dead, and the letter he sent was also burned by Gao Cheng. Xi Zhicai and Bu Zhi glanced at each other. They didn't see the content of the letter, so they just wondered why Chen Gui was like this Unwise, never thought that Gao Cheng would lie.

"The last general takes orders!" Jiang Qin and Dong Xi hurriedly stepped forward when they heard the order.

Gao Cheng waved his hand and asked the two to deal with the affairs of the army first, and then said to Xi Zhicai and Bu Zhi: "Tomorrow when our army attacks the city, in addition to guarding against the sky mirror, we also need to prevent the other party from launching a large-scale attack. Spells. Zhicai, this Huntian Banner is under your control!"

With a thought, he took out a flag from the dimensional space.This is the artifact that Gao Cheng took from killing the elders of the Yuan family. The power contained in this artifact is far inferior to Emperor Shun's chariot and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.However, it can be regarded as a powerful treasure, and handing it over to Xi Zhicai can greatly improve his strength.

"Huntian Banner!"

Xi Zhicai took this treasure directly, sensed the divine power contained in it, and couldn't help laughing: "Thank you, my lord! Leave this matter to me. There is a Heavenly Banner to lock the void and block vitality. Practitioners at the lower level, don't want to cast a large-scale spell in front of me!"

Seeing this, Bu Zhi at the side showed a hint of envy in his eyes.The Huaiyin Bu family also has inherited artifacts, but the divine power in the artifacts has been exhausted. Only when someone in the family becomes a third-order supernatural power can they use divine power to nourish the treasures and restore the artifacts to their strength.

Gao Cheng noticed his expression, he didn't find any emotions like jealousy or resentment, so he nodded secretly in his heart.Inheritance artifacts like the Huntian Banner are of little use to him. Instead of storing them in the space, it is better to reward his subordinates to make the best use of them.

Of course, before rewarding the treasure, Gao Cheng secretly used the forbidden method of Xiaotiangang's treasure refining formula to refine the Huntian Banner again, leaving a mark deep in the core of this treasure.As long as the thought moves, the treasure can be taken back again, preventing the possibility that someone will use his last artifact to deal with him in the future.

With such means, Gao Cheng has no worries.In the future, if he captures the Sky Mirror from Chen Gui, he will also hand over this treasure to Gao Tai, so that he will have the hole card to sit behind.

……

On the second day, the dull horn sounded, and the originally silent camp suddenly became lively and noisy. Countless soldiers walked out of the tents and formed an army formation under the leadership of Lieutenant Dubo, and then small formations formed large formations. Two hours later, a neat formation appeared outside the camp.

There were endless crowds of soldiers, and some soldiers pushed trebuchets to the front of the formation, surrounded by huge stones.After several years of development, the Yangzhou army has been tempered in terms of its own quality, weapons, and methods of attacking the city.A few days ago, under the city of Huaiyin, the Yangzhou army did not even use one-tenth of their means, and took the city with a small test.

Guangling is different from Huaiyin. This is an important town in Xuzhou. The thickness of the city wall and the soldiers and horses guarding the city far exceed Huaiyin, so Dong Xi and Jiang Qin are ready to attack with all their strength.

On the city wall, Zhao Yu, Chen's father and son stood on the city wall. Zhao Yu's face was the same as yesterday, but he had changed into a suit of armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and he was ready to defend the city.

"Father...what's the matter? Gao Cheng didn't reply to our letter yesterday, so the family didn't deliver the letter to him?" Chen Deng secretly shook his spiritual power, used his mind to communicate, and conveyed what he wanted to say.

Chen Gui's expression was serious, his eyes were flickering, and he glanced at the Yangzhou army and the trebuchet in the distance, and then said through a voice transmission: "There is a possibility! Otherwise, if there is a chance to easily capture the city wall, Gao Cheng will definitely not Consume troops and forcefully attack!"

"Then what should we do now? When Zhao Yuqiang conscripted the young men in the city, many of our Chen clan's children were also recruited. Gao Cheng forcibly attacked the city, and they are very likely to die, which will affect our Chen clan's strength!" Chen Deng Looks a little ugly.

Chen Gui moved his lips slightly and said, "Be patient. It's just the first day of attacking the city. The walls of Guangling are thick and there are 30 soldiers defending the city. In a few days, the Yangzhou army can't reach the top of the city at all. Wait for the generals first." Send the news back!"

When Chen Deng heard this, he frowned. For some reason, he always had a bad premonition in his heart, as if he hadn't considered a very important point.

At this moment, Zhao Yu turned to the two of them and said, "Mr. Chen, there is still the Yangzhou army at the south gate of Guangling, can you let Yuan Long go to the south gate to guard against Jiang Qin's troops?"

Chen Gui pondered for a moment, then nodded.The situation is unclear now, and the two of them still need to assist Zhao Yu in guarding the city.Therefore, the other party's proposal was not rejected.

After the feudal lords crusade against Dong Zhuo and the world was in total chaos, masters of Gang and Soul refining emerged one after another. Now the generals who lead troops to attack cities and plunder land cannot even suppress the army without the cultivation of Gang.

Similarly, if there is no Tier [-] powerhouse who refines Gang or soul to guard the city, no matter how strong the city wall is, it cannot stop the attack of the generals who refine Gang.

The higher the level of power in the world, the less useful the ordinary soldiers will be.

……

"The catapult is ready!"

Dong Xi rode back and forth in front of the army on horseback, his voice stern, and he roared. The soldiers behind the trebuchet followed his command and began to move the stones. Then one of the trebuchets blasted a stone. The stone was thrown high.

Whoosh!

The stones whistled repeatedly in the air, and hit the city wall with a bang, causing a shock.Chen Gui's face on the city wall changed slightly, and he stepped forward quickly, and said to Zhao Yu: "Prefect, this is the enemy army correcting the position of the catapult. Hurry up and order the soldiers to get ready!"

"Okay! Okay! Captain Huang, Captain Xiang...you all do what Chen Gong said!" Zhao Yu shouted quickly, directing the two subordinates.

He is not proficient in military affairs and city defense, and he also knows his own shortcomings, so after hearing Chen Gui's suggestion, he quickly followed what he said, and kept sending out banners, asking the soldiers guarding the city to raise their shields and curtains, Try to weaken the damage of stones and bows and arrows.

Dong Xi's was indeed correcting the orientation of the trebuchet.

After taking refuge in the Yangzhou Army, he followed Gao Tai to train soldiers in Shouchun, and obtained some training and siege methods from Wu Mu's suicide note from him, which greatly enhanced his ability to command troops in combat.Unlike before, he would only charge forward and show off his bravery.

Whizzing!

Two more stones were thrown. After the previous calibration, this time the stone catapult directly sent the stones to the city wall of Guangling, with two loud bangs.The stone directly smashed dozens of city defenders into blood and blood, screaming again and again.
