Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 457 Confucian Magic
When Dong Xi commanded the siege, Jiang Qin at the east gate of Guangling also launched an operation.Gao Cheng, Xi Zhicai, and Bu Zhi came to the podium.Looking at the battle ahead.

Boom!

The continuous stones were sent to the city wall by the stone throwing machine. After being hit by the stone head-on, the body of the defenders turned into fleshy mud. The stones roared on the city wall, and the sputtered gravel swept in all directions. , as long as you haven't cultivated to the sixth level of strength training.The flesh and blood of ordinary people cannot resist the attack of the trebuchet.

"Break me!"

A school lieutenant wearing armor on the city wall saw the continuous bombardment of stones flying from the sky, and his men suffered heavy casualties within a moment.

boom!The spear was like lightning, and collided with the stone with strong vigor, directly blasting the stone to pieces, losing most of its power.

Seeing this, several other lieutenants who had trained at the sixth level and above threw their spears in a learned manner, boom boom boom, and a dozen stones were intercepted before they even reached the city wall.

However, there are very few warriors on the city wall whose strength has reached the sixth level of strength training. These captains tried their best, but it was just a drop in the bucket.After throwing more than a dozen times in a row, more than half of the energy was consumed, and he had to stop.

I don't know how long it took, but for the soldiers on the city wall, every second was like a torment. They huddled on the edge of the battlements, so as to avoid the frontal bombardment of the stones. As for the flying gravel, the shields in their hands And the curtain can play a little role at least.

"The trebuchet has stopped!"

Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the trebuchet stop in the distance. This was just a tentative attack by the Yangzhou army, and the soldiers on the city wall lost a lot of morale.

"Lieutenant Huang, go back to the city first and look for craftsmen to make this kind of catapult. We must have countermeasures to prevent the Yangzhou army from bombarding the city wall unscrupulously!"

Zhao Yu grabbed the subordinates around him and hurriedly gave orders.After seeing the power of the trebuchet, he immediately realized how powerful this siege machine is. If there is no way to resist or counter it, and let the opponent continue to bombard the city wall, it will not be long before the morale of Guangling soldiers will drop to pole.

Chen Gui on the side didn't expect him to think of this, so he couldn't help but glance at him. Zhao Yu is still capable as the prefect, but such ability is still unable to resist the attack of Yangzhou forces.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Captain Huang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, before he turned to leave, he looked at the army in the distance below the city with a complicated look in his eyes, then smiled wryly, and hurriedly left the city wall.

……

On the podium, Gao Cheng's eyes were shining with divine light, his ears were trembling slightly, and he had already used his clairvoyance and wind ears. When he saw Captain Huang on the city wall, he let out a slight surprise.

"Huang Shao?"

The school lieutenant under Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, was actually his boss when he was in Yingchuan, the commander of Huangjinqu, Huang Shao!He actually joined the Xuzhou Army, and even became a powerful commander in Guangling City.And his cultivation has also reached the peak of the ninth level of strength training.If you have a superior skill, you can step into the realm of refining gang.

From Huang Shao's face full of vicissitudes, Gao Cheng could see that the other party had gone through a lot in the past few years.But even if he recognized his old friend, Gao Cheng's mood didn't change at all.

To him, Huang Shao is just an old friend from many years ago, it doesn't matter.Among the Yangzhou Army, there are countless school lieutenants who have cultivated to the ninth level of strength training. Perhaps Huang Shao's breakthrough to reach the level of refining gang can bring some troubles to the Yangzhou Army.

At this time, the trebuchet fired dozens of times in a row and needed some repairs before it could continue to function. With a wave of the spear in Dong Xi's hand, ten thousand archers rushed out in unison.

"Archers prepare... the first row, shoot!" Dong Xi roared, his voice spreading in all directions.

Swish Swish Swish!Countless long arrows formed a rain of arrows, and after shooting into the sky, they drew an arc and fell heavily.The captain on the city wall shouted hastily.

"Raise the shield! Raise the shield!"

The continuous rain of arrows landed, some were blocked by the shields of the defenders and bounced away, and some shot into the bodies of the soldiers with a puff.Harvest another wave of life.

First came the catapults, followed by the archers. The continuous offensive made the Guangling soldiers on the top of the city unable to lift their heads. Seeing this, Dong Xi couldn't help laughing. After rushing to the edge of the moat, puffing a few times, the ladder was placed across the moat, and a simple pontoon bridge was quickly built.

From the beginning of the siege to the present, in less than half an hour, the Yangzhou Army attacked below the city wall.Seeing this, Zhao Yu and Chen Gui couldn't help but change their expressions, and only then did they truly feel the strength of the Yangzhou army.

"It's really deceiving! Does Gao Cheng want to destroy the city in one day? If he wants to destroy the city, I will never agree!" Zhao Yu suddenly burst into anger, and his face turned red.

Swish, with a dragon cry, he drew out the long sword at his waist, and then held the hilt with both hands in front of his chest.With his eyes slightly closed, a white whirlwind gushed out from above Tianling.

"The mighty wind!"

Chen Gui at the side recognized Zhao Yu's spell. This is a magic formula recorded in the Six Classics of Confucianism. It is a soul refining technique, and it is also a powerful spell.

Zhao Yu's spiritual power gushed out, and with the use of the formula, the vitality in the sky fluctuated and made a whirring sound.boom!The Yangzhou soldiers who were climbing the ladder were swept up by the sudden gust of wind and fell into the moat screaming.

far away.Xi Zhicai frowned, and immediately took out the Huntian Banner, poured his spiritual power into the artifact, and locked onto Zhao Yu who was casting spells on the city wall.

"Space suppression, block vitality!"

A burst of divine power surged out from the Huntian Banner, pointing to the distant sky, and the vitality that was surging downward suddenly stopped, as if trapped in a thick paste.

"Ah, that's bad!" Zhao Yu's heart surged with a warning sign, his face changed wildly, he hurriedly forcibly interrupted the spell he was casting, spit out blood, and crazily backed away.

click!
After Zhao Yu retreated, a black crack suddenly appeared where he was.The extremely hard city wall was affected by cracks, and a deep trace appeared silently.

"It's the Huntian Banner of the Yuan family in Runan!" Chen Gui cried out subconsciously when he saw this situation.

The Huntian Banner can shield vitality and use space power to suppress and strangle the enemy.Not bad reputation.At this moment, Chen Gui suddenly remembered that a few years ago, Gao Cheng blocked Sun Jian in Yangzhou, and one of the elders of the Yuan family appeared among them.

It is said that the four elders of the Yuan family were all beheaded by Gao Cheng.It turns out that the news is true!

Chen Gui thought to himself: "Gao Cheng has the Huntian Banner in his hand, if he doesn't suppress this artifact, not only the prefect, but even I will not be able to release large-scale spells!"
