Chapter 863
Inspired by the thunder shock, the soldiers of the Feng Army returned to the city and launched a fierce confrontation with the Zhen Army.
At this time, everyone was risking their lives and charging desperately. As the saying goes, if one person fights hard, ten people will be defeated. The tens of thousands of soldiers in the Feng army fought hard, and their momentum is also breathtaking.
On the contrary, the Zhen Army began to feel uncomfortable. They had captured the city wall of Wancheng, which was equivalent to destroying the Feng Army's city defense. Victory was in sight, and people were feeling complacent in their hearts. At this time, the Feng Army suddenly launched a ferocious counterattack.
, catching Zhenjun off guard.
Lei Zhen, in particular, took the lead, waving his Kaitian halberd in the wind, and the Zhen soldiers in front of him fell into a pool of blood one after another. The Feng army led by Lei Zhen followed the steps of the city wall and fought their way through.
After a bloody road, he returned to the city wall and started a close hand-to-hand combat with the Zhen army.
The Feng Army, which had been defeated in one blow just now, turned into tiger-like warriors in the blink of an eye. The Zhen Army soldiers could not figure out what was going on. As the Feng Army became more and more courageous as they fought, the Zhen Army who boarded the city gradually became difficult to resist.
, was forced to retreat continuously.
The Zhen Army only retreated slightly, but this was equivalent to giving the Feng Army a shot in the arm. It turned out that the Zhen Army was not invincible and could be defeated. The Feng Army's fighting spirit was completely aroused, and the people roared and rushed forward.
After a fierce killing, a large number of Zhen soldiers fell under the sword of Feng Jun, and some were forced off the city wall and fell to the city gate screaming.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Xun Xiao hurriedly separated from the crowd and pushed to the front. As soon as he showed his head, Lei Zhen hit him. Xun Xiao was stunned for a moment, then grinned happily and said, "I didn't throw you just now."
Damn it, let me see where you are going to run away this time?!" As he spoke, he raised the sky-opening ax in his hand high, as if he was going to chop it down.
Before he could make a move, Lei Zhen was the first to attack, and as soon as he came up, he used the ultimate trick, Ten Thousand Blades Meteor Slash.
Since the opponents were all enemies, Lei Zhen had no worries when releasing his skills and used all his strength. I saw the top of the city radiating light and thousands of rays of light, and then, a huge spiritual blade seven or eight feet high emerged.
, when the stone bricks on the ground were scratched, the stone bricks cracked one by one, and stone chips flew everywhere, accompanied by a creepy whistling sound.
Xun Xiao was shocked by the oncoming Thousand-Blade Meteor. In a hurry, he had no time to think carefully, so he subconsciously used Linghua Ji to deal with it.
Two top spiritual martial arts skills collided on the city wall. With a muffled bang, the huge spiritual blade released by Lei Zhen was fragmented and turned into countless small spiritual blades flying in the sky. The spiritual blades produced by Ling Luan.
They intersected and collided in the air. Some of them canceled each other out and were scattered invisibly. However, some of the spiritual blades passed through the spiritual chaos and flew straight towards Xun Xiao.
Oops! Xun Xiao screamed in his heart. He was so confused that he didn't have the ability to block the opponent's skills?! Seeing the spiritual blades flying towards him one after another, it was already too late to block them. Xun Xiao was helpless.
He could only escape sideways. He dodged the spirit blade, but he also fell off the city wall and fell outside the city.
thump!
Xun Xiao's huge body fell to the ground with a heavy muffled sound. The force of the fall almost made all the bones in his body fall apart. He took two breaths, then struggled to stand up and looked up at the top of the city.
Lei Zhen roared angrily and looked around for the ladder to go up and fight the opponent again.
However, as Xun Xiao fell off the city wall, the soldiers and generals behind him could no longer resist Lei Zhen and others. People were shocked and retreated steadily. At the same time, Wu Mei on the city gate tower also saw Feng Jun fighting back.
When she returned to the city, her spirit was shaken. She put on her spiritual armor, held her sword in hand, went down from the city gate tower, and led the guards on the ground floor to rush out.
There were Feng troops in front and Feng troops behind. The Zhen troops on this section of the city wall were completely in disarray. People were pushing each other, and countless people fell into the city due to their mistakes. Xun Xiao, who was at the bottom of the city, had just found a ladder and climbed halfway up.
The Feng army who had reoccupied the city used rolling logs and rocks to smash it down.
He roared angrily and screamed again and again. Before he could continue climbing, arrows rained down from the city, hitting his spiritual armor with a clanking sound.
Xun Xiao, who had such a profound cultivation level, could not withstand the condescending shot. The arrow hit his spiritual armor, causing him to retreat step by step.
Under the sharp counterattack of the Feng Army, the Zhen Army on this city wall was completely unable to withstand it. A large number of soldiers either died in battle or were driven off the city wall. The Feng Army headed by Lei Zhen rushed to the city gate tower and fought with
Wu Mei and others gathered together.
Lei Zhen had never seen Wu Mei wearing her spiritual armor, nor did he recognize her. It was not until Wu Mei spoke that Lei Zhen realized that the general in red spiritual armor in front of him was his wife. He hurriedly stepped in to salute and said breathlessly.
: "The general's rescue came too late, so my wife was frightened!"
Seeing Lei Zhen now, Wu Mei's eyes turned red and she almost shed tears. Lei Zhen was covered in blood, and the original color of his spiritual armor was completely covered with blood. Moreover, his body was also covered with scars, and the spiritual armor was broken in many places.
It fell off and looked extremely miserable.
"General Lei, don't say that. If you hadn't led your troops back in time, I would probably have to decide on my own in the city gate tower."
Lei Zhen secretly sighed in his heart, if this was the case, he would not be able to see the king again! He breathed for a while, raised his eyes to look at the city wall on the other side of the city gate tower, grabbed the Kaitian War Halberd, and said: "Madam, there are still enemy troops left.
On the city, the last general is going to fight back the enemy!" After saying this, he looked back at the soldiers behind him and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
"kill--"
At this time, Feng Jun's confidence was getting stronger and stronger, and his morale was getting higher and higher. People shouted in unison, followed Lei Zhen, and rushed to the other side of the city wall.
This battle lasted from morning to evening. During this period, the Zhen army attacked the city several times, but was successfully counterattacked by the Feng army several times. The battle for the city wall between the two sides became extremely fierce. In the end, the two armies
The casualties were too numerous to count. There were piles of corpses inside the city, outside the city and on the city walls.
The battle has been fought so far, both the Feng Army and the Zhen Army have suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers are exhausted. Even Li Cheng, who has such a fierce and tough style, can't fight anymore. With the sky getting dark, he reluctantly ordered,
The whole army suspended the attack and retreated back to the camp.
The Zhen army did not camp at all outside Wancheng City, because people firmly believed that one day was enough to capture Wancheng, and setting up camp would be a waste of effort. Unexpectedly, the Wancheng defenders resisted so tenaciously and refused to let their own troops enter the city.
The retreating Zhen army was almost too tired to walk, but even so, people had to set up camp before they could rest.
The battle has come to an end, and both sides are seizing the time to rest and recuperate while counting their respective casualties.
On the first day of the battle, there were only serious injuries and dead soldiers. The Feng Army had more than 23,000 soldiers, and the Zhen Army had more than 20,000 soldiers. After a battle, the Feng Army's combat personnel were reduced by half.
, Zhenjun's casualties were close to one-third, and it is not difficult to see the intensity of this battle.
The casualty ratio between the two sides was close to one to one, which was completely acceptable for the attacking side. However, the Zhen army had been invincible and invincible since the Battle of Entering the Wind. This was the first time they suffered a setback.
On the first day, the Zhen Army's attack was barely blocked, but Wu Mei, Zong Yuan, and Lei Zhen were not happy. They knew in their hearts that in tomorrow's battle, with the remaining troops, it would be difficult to resist the Zhen Army's attack.
attack.
After the Zhen army retreated, the Feng army began to clean the battlefield, returning the Zhen army's corpses on the city wall directly to the outside of the city, while collecting the corpses of their own soldiers into the city.
At this time, the stone bricks on the city wall were no longer gray, but had turned into dark brown, the color of solidified blood.
Wu Mei patrolled the city wall, her brows furrowed, wondering whether this battle should continue and whether Wancheng should hold on, her heart was also wavering. If there was still a way out, Wu Mei would definitely give up without hesitation, but the problem
Yes, there is no way out now. After exiting Wancheng, Yancheng is next. Yancheng is much larger than Wancheng, and it is easier for the enemy to launch an attack. It cannot be defended by 20,000 or 30,000 people.
Seeing Wu Mei's preoccupied look, Lei Zhen felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He admired and felt distressed at the same time. He admired Wu Mei's firmness and calmness in the face of danger on the battlefield, but the heavy burden of guarding the capital and resisting powerful enemies was too much.
When it falls on a woman like her, people can't help but sigh.
Lei Zhen took off the outer cloak from behind, handed it to Wu Mei, and whispered: "Madam, it's too cold at night, be careful of catching a cold."
Wu Mei didn't answer. The weather was very cold, but her heart was as anxious as fire. She said quietly: "I just got the news that the Tongmen Army has divided its troops into 100,000 troops and returned to the capital for rescue."
Lei Zhen's eyes lit up, this is a great thing!
Seeing his thoughts, Wu Mei smiled bitterly and continued: "However, it will take ten days for the army to reach the capital."
Lei Zhen's originally excited mood fell back to the bottom in an instant, ten days?! With our current military strength and combat power, how could we resist the enemy for ten days? After ten days, Wancheng was gone, and maybe even the capital was gone. Tong
What's the use of the Men's army coming back?
He lowered his head and remained silent.
Wu Mei sighed softly and said: "General Lei, you have fought hard all day, go and rest early!"
Lei Zhen shook his head hurriedly and said: "Madam, you are not tired at the end!" After a pause, he took two steps forward, approached Wu Mei, lowered his voice and asked: "Madam, do we... still hold on to Wancheng?"
What can we do if we don't stick to it? Wu Mei looked outside the city and murmured: "When I left the capital, I already said that I would live and die with Wancheng!"
Lei Zhen was stunned for a moment, and understood what Wu Mei meant. He straightened his face, cheered up, stepped in and saluted, and said: "I will swear to accompany my wife to fight against powerful enemies together!"
Wu Meili was happy. Discovering the general Lei Zhen was her biggest gain in Wancheng, but she didn't know if they could leave Wancheng alive.
Unintentionally, she discovered that Zong Yuan was silent. Wu Mei turned to look at him, and saw Zong Yuan looking at the sky. She didn’t know what he was looking at. Wu Mei also raised her head and looked at the sky. The night sky was dark.
