Call of the Deer

Chapter 521 Blood Attack on Qicheng, Allied Forces Destroyed
The next day, Jia Fu led the army to call for battle, and Lu Wenlong naturally would not be timid, and the two fought again for hundreds of rounds without deciding the outcome;
For three consecutive days, Jia Fu screamed and screamed, and he was still as fierce as a tiger, and Lu Wenlong was tired of coping. On the last day, he was suppressed and beaten by Jia Fu, and he felt quite depressed.

Three days later, Bai Qi led his troops to the outside of Qicheng. There were [-] troops, a team of a hundred people, a team of a thousand people, and a team of ten thousand people. They formed ten formations outside Qicheng. City defenders.

Naturally, Su Lie would not let Lu Wenlong face the enemy alone, and personally led an army of [-] to assist.

In front of the [-] troops, Bai Qi was wearing a black battle armor with a heroic sword hanging from his waist. Beside him, Zhuge Liang was sitting in the chariot, shaking his feather fan lightly, looking at Qicheng without changing his face.

After Bai Qi, the six generals Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Li Cunxiao, Jia Fu, Xiong Kuohai, and Lin Chong rode their horses and waited silently for the order to attack the city.

Behind them are rows of soldiers with swords and shields, each with a solemn expression, sensing the impending battle, sharpening their knives and rushing at the pigs and sheep;
Behind the sword and shield soldiers are spearmen, behind the spearmen are crossbowmen; behind the crossbowmen are archers, and behind them are siege equipment such as catapults, well rails, and city charging vehicles.

The banners fluttered, fluttered and fluttered in the wind, boosting the morale of the soldiers; the drums burst out, roaring like thunder, spreading around, hitting the hearts of the enemy directly;
"Su Lie, this governor will give you one last chance to surrender the city, otherwise the day the city is broken will be the time to massacre the Eastern Qin army!"

Although Bai Qi is bloodthirsty, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he only said to massacre the Eastern Qin army.

"Bai Qi, don't be ashamed, I am the general of the Eastern Qin Army, and I want our army to surrender, it's a dream!"

A look of disdain flashed in Su Lie's eyes, but of course it was more dignified. God of War Bai Qi, the well-deserved No. [-] God of War in Dongzhou, no one could say anything.

"Okay, since you are stubborn, then don't blame the governor for being rude and attack!"

"woooooo"

The sound of the horn sounded, and the Northern Underworld Army made a massive attack. Zhao Yun, Li Cunxiao and many other generals led their troops and charged towards Qicheng.

The sword and shield soldiers are in front, firmly protecting the crossbowmen behind them, and the archers pull the bowstring behind, raise it 45 degrees, and shoot with full string;

The catapult was loaded with huge boulders one by one, and the cycle went back and forth, only throwing the stones into the sky and smashing them towards the city wall of Qicheng;

Huge boulders, like meteorites falling from the sky, smashed straight to the top of the city, ruthlessly suppressing the emerging East Qin army.

After the crossbowman approached, the Tianji crossbow fired continuously, like locusts crossing the border, flying towards Qicheng overwhelmingly.

Driven by a group of strong men, the city-rushing car slammed into the city gate with a rolling sound, and the gate of Qicheng that hit it made a rattling sound.

After the special ladder is loaded into the head, the special claws on the ladder are like flying tiger claws, which firmly hold the city wall and firmly fix the ladder so that it is easy to climb.

Su Lie stood in front of the city, watched the fierce attack below, and organized the East Qin army to defend.

"Archers fight back!"

"Cover the large cowhide shield, and block the enemy's catapults and bows for me."

Facing the boulder like a meteorite, Su Lie ordered people to use cowhide like a tent to put it on the top of the city to protect the Eastern Qin army below;
At the same time, the Northern Underworld Army with bows and arrows fought back, and the red-hot boiling oil poured down desperately;
And Su Lie personally slashed with the long knife, cutting off the lock dragon claws one by one, but because of too much force, he also smashed the battlements.

Now Su Lie is in trouble, if he doesn't cut off the dragon lock claw, there will be a steady stream of Northern Dark Army on the ladder climbing up the city wall;
And if you go to see Suolongclaw, it's like destroying the battlements by yourself, right in the arms of the Northern Underworld Army.

Compared with the two evils, whichever is the lesser, in the end, he had no choice but to let the dragon-locking claws fix the battlements, and at most knock down the dragon-locking claws before the Northern Dark Army has not fixed them.

In order to restrict the Beiming Army from climbing up the ladder, the Eastern Qin Army had no choice but to push down the rolling logs one by one desperately;
Soon, there was a serious shortage of rolling logs, so Su Lie could only send people to destroy walls and demolish houses to raise more rolling logs.

But outside the city, in the camp of the Northern Underworld Army, Bai Qi was a little surprised to see that Su Lie actually made a cowhide to block his catapult.

"Commander, it's a good idea for Su Lie to block our army's catapults with cowhide, but our army also has a way to break it!"

Zhuge Liang was sitting in the back watching the battle. Seeing Su Lie take out the cowhide, Zhuge Liang fell into deep thought and finally came up with a solution.

"Oh, what's Kong Ming's clever plan? If we don't break the cowhide array, our army will suffer heavy losses!"

"Fire attack!"

Zhuge Liang spat out two words, and Bai Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately ordered to attack with rockets.

Sure enough, the rockets flew up one after another, stabbing hard into the cowhide, and immediately the cowhide came up, and the flames were extremely stench, which made the East Qin army feel uncomfortable for a while.

Seeing that his cowhide formation was broken by the enemy, Su Lie smiled wryly, looking extremely helpless.

With the cover of the siege weapons such as catapults, the Northern Underworld Army offset most of the advantage of the Eastern Qin Army's defense against the city, and it seemed much easier for the Northern Underworld Army to attack.

This lasted for a day and a night, and both sides suffered heavy losses. The Northern Underworld Army suffered more than 2 casualties; the Eastern Qin Army also lost more than [-] people.

The battlements of Qicheng City were basically collapsed by the catapults. Without the cover of the battlements, the Eastern Qin Army was a living target;
Under the strong blow of the Tianji Crossbow of the Northern Dark Army, the Eastern Qin Army ran away in a panic, never daring to take the lead again; while the Northern Dark Army took the opportunity to board the city wall, and launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Eastern Qin Army on the city wall.

Two fists are no match for four hands, and a hero can't stand the crowd.

At this point, Su Lie knew that Qicheng was basically over, Yunqi was the general of the Northern Dark Army, and only he and Lu Wenlong were in the Eastern Qin Army.

Su Lie was also a decisive person, leading tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, decisively withdrew in the direction of Cloud City;
Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun personally led the Silver Dragon Cavalry and Yanlong Cavalry to pursue and kill nearly ten thousand people, but Su Lie and Lu Wenlong escaped back to Cloud Cloud City by luck.

Just as Bai Qi was reporting successes and conquering Qicheng, Li Jing frequently used tactics such as chain counting, attacking east and west, throwing bricks to lure jade, and luring the enemy to go deep. Finally, he deceived Hou Junji and defeated the Eastern Qin Army's [-] troops at Fengye Ridge. Hou Junji was defeated and fled to Tangcheng in the northwest of Boyuncheng.

In this battle, Li Jing captured Yongzhou Wang Xiaoyan, Cangzhou Wang Dongcheng, and hundreds of civil servants, including counselors such as Wang Meng and Li Ru.

However, Sun Quan and Chai Rong saw that the opportunity was wrong, and immediately fled away, only to escape the catastrophe, and returned to Tangcheng without any danger.

Inside Tang City, the atmosphere was solemn, and everyone's faces were gray and defeated. Because of the defeat in the war, their lords fell into the enemy's camp, which dealt a great blow to morale, making it worse.

At this moment, there were only less than [-] defenders in Tang City, and Hou Junji fell into silence.

"Everyone, this battle is due to my ineffective command, so I fell into the enemy's tricks. I apologize to everyone. Afterwards, I will resign as the commander-in-chief of the entire army and recommend General Lu Xun to take over!"

Hou Junji's wrong command dealt too much blow to the coalition forces, so he could only take the blame and resign and push out Lu Xun.

Lu Xun gave a wry smile, he was very aware of Hou Junji's ability to use troops, and he was no better than himself. After Hou Junji's defeat, he himself was at a loss.

"Hey, this defeat was not a crime of war. General Hou, don't blame yourself too much!"

"If I hadn't been eager for quick success and my head was dizzy, I would have guessed that it was the enemy's serial tricks, or I would be too arrogant."

Hou Junji shook his head, this battle was because he was too anxious and pursued in haste, so he missed the ambush and lost the battle.

Afterwards, the coalition forces re-arranged their strategy, with Lu Xun as the leader and Hou Junji as the assistant, and strictly fortified Tangcheng.

Three days later, Li Jing led the victorious army, carrying a surging momentum, and approached the city of Tangcheng, and the soldiers pointed directly at Tangcheng. (To be continued.)
