Chapter 612 Endless Beacon Fire (seven)

"It's almost ten months, do you have to surround me for a year?" A man with a tiger back and a bear waist had some wounds all over his body, but the main reason was that his right eye was wrapped in bandages on his face, and there was a faint dry blood stain. He was standing outside a battlefield full of scorched earth and pits, looking at the broken city wall in the distance, turning to ask Chu Xunyu.

Chu Xunyu also wrapped an arm around him, looking into the distance with him, looking at the battle-prone and dangerous city, smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Why do you have to?"

It is now 1637 AD. Chu Xunyu followed Zhu Yuanzhang to launch an army to attack Zhang Shicheng. Zhang Shicheng is no longer the "Nine Four Heroes" when he raised an army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. After dominating Jiangnan in recent years, he acted against the enemy. Not only did he become increasingly depressed, but what was even more shameful was that his life was becoming more and more debauchery day by day. He built palaces and paid levies to pay off beauties every day. He was arrogant and extravagant, with wine pools and meat forests, loose army, and dispersed people's hearts. Therefore, this year Zhu Yuanzhang officially published the "Pingzhou Edict", listing Zhang Shicheng's eight major crimes, exposing his debauchery nature, and acting against the enemy.

The people and gods were angry, and the benevolent and righteous army of Fengtian clan Zhou was defeated. As a result, the war broke out like a lot. Less than a year ago, Zhang Shicheng's army was beaten and lost, and surrendered, and was simply defeated. The cultivators who were worshipped under his usual days also gradually left. At present, the army besieged the city, and the entire Pingjiang City was surrounded and the water was scattered. Zhang Shicheng led his troops to defend the enemy. During this period, he led 100,000 elite soldiers nicknamed "Ten Dragons" to break through several times, and all ended in failure. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also paid a lot of money. Once he got the advantage, Chang Yuchun, a good general who fought for a hundred battles, could hardly stop it. This shows how determined Zhang Shicheng was to die.

At this moment, standing beside Chu Xunyu was his deputy, a disciple from "Zhemo Cliff", named "Niu", nicknamed "Tuotian Iron Tower", known as "Niu Iron Tower". His soul-subduing technique of demon beasts can make him become as ferocious as the king of Toota. His cultivation is higher than Chu Xunyu. He was in the Nascent Soul stage and joined last year, but he did not have the ability to lead troops to fight, so he was sent to assist him. The original Zhao Niuzai had already died. Last year, he was sent to perform a mission from the territory of the Northern Yuanmeng Dynasty. On the way back, he revealed his traces in a county town on the border. The six Yuanmeng Dharmas he was chased by were chased.

The master captured the county and arrested him to Yuan Dadu for the crime of treason. He was cut off the Yuanying and cut two hundred knives alive. Finally, he cut the internal organs into the street and exposed them for three days before he died. Chu Xunyu was furious when he heard this. He personally led 400 cavalry and more than 20 cultivators to raid the county town, and captured all the old and young officials who had informed the county officials and the two Yuanmeng masters stationed at the garrison. Then he was cut in half on the street, hanging the body on two sections on the east gate for public display. Chu Xunyu changed seven deputys in a decades of military career, and five of them died in battle. Unfortunately, he dreamed of a hero and cut off the mirage.

At present, the siege of the city was trapped by the enemy, and the food and grass were exhausted in Pingjiang City. He heard that the people in the city were already poor and robbed food, so Zhu Yuanzhang issued a general attack order. Three days later, Xu Da personally led the central army to attack.

In October, Xu Da started a fierce attack and took turns to attack the city. There were still 80,000 elite soldiers from Zhang Shicheng in Pingjiang City. Although there were only a few cultivators left, the monks on Zhu Yuanzhang could not take advantage of them. On the day of siege, many cultivators flew over the city wall to cast spells and attacks, but did not want to be shot by crossbows. When the monks who climbed up the city wall were not firmly established, a large number of soldiers rushed up with tinea oil and hugged the cultivators and rolled down the city wall together to cause fire. Usually, more than ten mortal soldiers hugged a cultivator's hands and feet to prevent them from casting spells. The cultivators were pressed under the body and set fire to death with more than ten people, and died together with screams. This is one of the most typical Liezi and techniques for mortals to defeat cultivators, which is the tactics of the sea of ​​people.

In this battle, Chu Xunyu led his brothers to climb the cloud ladder to attack the city. He had failed six times. More than 400 brothers and more than 20 cultivators died and were even more injured. Half of Niu Tieta's body was burned by the boiling oil guarding the city, dissipating a disgusting smell of burnt. Chu Xunyu was injured by two arrows and three swords. He is now resting in the rear for a short time, waiting for the messenger to come and continue to attack with the next wave of attacks.

Now Chu Xunyu is the lieutenant, and there is no need to go to the general battles in two generals at all. However, the King of Western Wu has very strict military laws and stipulates that the two armies will fight: the soldiers die, the lieutenant; the lieutenant die, the general; the general dies, the general; and those who retreat will all be killed. This time, the attack was divided into four gates, Xu Da’s main attack on Ximen, Sun Mengqing, Chang Yuchun, and Liao Yongzhong attacked the other three gates. Xu Da’s side is better. I heard that Chang Yuchun’s side is the most tragic, and even Chang Yuchun himself was the leader himself, but he still returned in vain and was shot by himself.

Looking at the Niu Tieta beside him lying on the ground and humming in pain, Chu Xunyu sighed and wiped the blood shackles on his eyelids. This station completely exposed the weakness of the cultivators. In the past, cultivators were a lofty existence, shocking, and every move was accompanied by huge power. All mortals could only look up, but this time, the cultivators were in a big fight. Because most of the power of the cultivators was in the air, but Zhang Shicheng asked someone to hide a large number of crossbows in the houses, covered with captives and saltpeter and medicine, among which there were many "Yuanrong Crossbow" with great lethality. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang's cultivator flew over Pingjiang City, a wave of crossbows shot over. In front of such a huge killing weapon that specializes in killing cultivators, the cultivator was beaten into a hedgehog and fell down. For a moment, the cultivator did not dare to emerge and had to scramble among the mortal soldiers to attack the city gate. But just imagine, if there are hundreds of thousands of people, there are many people and ants, which cultivator dares to take action rashly? That will hurt his own people, and the harm will definitely be quite large. As a result, it becomes a situation where cultivators are afraid of hands and feet, and they will suffer heavy casualties, which completely exposes the limitations of cultivators in head-on battles.

Chu Xunyu came to Xu Da. Xu Da frowned and looked at the scene of shouting killing sounds in the distance. Seeing Chu Xunyu coming with injuries, he asked, "How is it hurt?"

"There are many casualties." Chu Xunyu shook his head, "We are cavalry, and we play too little role in the tough battle, but we suffer a lot of damage."

"I didn't expect that they were still so tenacious after being trapped for more than ten months." Xu Da didn't expect that an isolated city would be trapped by ammunition and food for a month, and could resist so strongly. This is too surprising.

"Have you scored in from the other three?" Chu Xunyu asked.

"No." Xu Da shook his head, "except Sun Mengqing's troops, the rest are even worse than our casualties."

"I didn't expect Sun Mengqing to go in either." Chu Xunyu gritted his teeth and thought to himself that the bloodthirsty female madman hadn't even killed in. Could this soldier in Pingjiang City be a heavenly soldier and general exiled to the mortal world?

Just as the two of them were talking, a fire suddenly surged into the sky in the battlefield ahead, with a harsh scream, which seemed particularly eye-catching. A shocking cheer broke out among the soldiers in front of them. Xu Da was stunned, and then some soldiers ran over and shouted excitedly: "Master! Digging through, the 'shan' camp has dug down the city wall!"

"Okay!" Xu Daxi raised his eyebrows and waved his hand and shouted, "Three armies were ready!" It turned out that there was a "Xiaoshan Digging Ziying" in Zhu Yuanzhang's army, led by the two "Yu brothers" in Beihai. The Yu brothers were the best at digging the ground. Pingjiang City relied on Chi Gaocheng and held on to this day. After paying a heavy price, the Yu brothers even died in battle. The younger brother led more than 200 people to destroy the foundation of the city wall from the underground and collapsed the city wall. Now a big gap was revealed. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Xu Daxi couldn't stop and immediately asked the three armies to prepare and attack Pingjiang City.

Commander Xu Da waved his small flag, and Chu Xunyu stepped onto the war horse. Under the cover of the release of a large number of Taoist magic by cultivators, the army entered one after another. The fall of the East Gate was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Finally, Zhang Shicheng's troops were out of support, and the city was trapped and conquered Pingjiang.

"Catch Zhang Jiusi alive! Reward a hundred taels of gold!" The army entered Pingjiang City, and the soldiers shouted, people were inspiring and morale was high. It was rumored that the army ordered Zhang Shicheng to search for Zhang Shicheng in the city. Zhang Shicheng's nickname was "Zhang Jiusi", and the folk nickname was called "General Jiusi".

While confiscating the remaining enemy troops and opening the other three gates to welcome the army into the city, Chu Xunyu ran on the street with Niutita. Looking at Niutita who was fleeing everywhere in front of him, although Niutita was so angry that he still laughed and waved his knife to slash one. Chu Xunyu was furious and held his hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm killing someone!" Niu Tieta asked at his left half of his body, which was bandaged and bleeding, "Brother, have you seen that half of your brother, I'm disabled? And those more than two hundred brothers have explained it? Is there any need to ask?"

"They are not soldiers, they are the people!" Chu Xunyu was also angry, "How can they kill the people?"

"The people wear clothes and are soldiers!" Niu Tieta was furious, "Pingjiang City has been besieged for so long. If it were not for the help of these stupid people, Zhang Jiusi would be as useless as a pig or a dog. Can he be like this today? They are accomplices, and they should all be killed!" Niu Tieta's killing spirit in his bones was reflected again.

"No!" Chu Xunyu said coldly, "I am the captain and you are the deputy. You have to listen to my words. Military orders are like mountains, and they are all swearing through the blood of the inner demon. Those who disobey orders and do not follow the military law."

"You..." Niu Tieta's hatred made her teeth itch. Unexpectedly, Chu Xunyu actually used his official rank to suppress others, otherwise he would have taken action to destroy this Jindan stage cultivator first according to his temper.
