Chapter 467 The Meaning of a Master

In Lanzhou city.

After Cao Wenzhao learned that the South Gate had collapsed, he immediately sent [-] soldiers to the South Gate—there were [-] troops in Lanzhou City, and he had no shortage of soldiers.

A large number of officers and soldiers rushed to the gap in the south gate, and began to build waste city bricks and walls in the gap.Although it is impossible to build another city wall, piling up the ruins can also make the defense of the officers and soldiers more favorable.

At this time, the Demon Cult did not count the deaths on the other side of the moat. Three or 400 Demon Cultists who crossed the river alone had died in battle, and the first batch of Demon Cultists who came over had almost been lost.But they kept eight ladders.

More and more demon cultists crossed the river, and then they ran towards the bonfire by the edge of the moat!
During the night battle, the bonfires were the sight of the officers and soldiers. If the bonfires were extinguished and the Demon Cult built a bridge over the moat, the officers and soldiers might not be able to find out.

The officers and soldiers set up more than 30 bonfires outside the south gate, and the demon cult wiped out more than a dozen at once.

Seeing this, a thousand households of the Guanning Army who led the troops to command the battle under the city immediately ordered his men to go down to protect the bonfire.And Xia Lu on the top of the city was not slow to react, and sent another 1000 people out to protect the bonfire.

However, the group of demon cultists who were dedicated to destroying the bonfires were extremely quick, and they destroyed another seven or eight before the large army of officials and soldiers arrived.

There were more than 30 bonfires, but only twelve or three were left.Moreover, the twelve or three bonfires, because of the large number of officers and soldiers surrounding them, could not illuminate the situation on the canal.

In the darkness, the Devil's Cult got a large number of ladders from nowhere, and erected one after another on the moat.

"Clap! Clap!"

The sound of the ladders falling to the ground was endless. Unfortunately, the moonlight was so bad that night that the visibility was only one or two meters. On the moat that was more than a mile long, the officers and soldiers could not grasp the specific positions of these ladders, so they could only check one by one along the moat. .

In such a short time, countless demon soldiers crossed the river quickly on the ladder.

Xia Lu immediately ordered someone to light the flare.The flare quickly lifted into the air, and after the brief flash of light, Xia Lu saw the canal densely packed with ladders everywhere, and his scalp went numb!
The Ming army, which had the upper hand on the moat side, set aside a small part to deal with the Demon Cult crossing the river, and the rest frantically went to chop down the ladders!
Both sides are fighting for time!
The Devil's Cult set up hundreds of ladders on the moat, and every Devil's Cult soldier walked on the ladder like walking on the ground, and the speed of crossing the river was astonishing.

Xia Lu sent another [-] soldiers to support. With the city wall already collapsed, the moat must not be lost.

At this time, he had sent 80 officers and troops to the moat, which was only [-] meters away from the city wall.Under the city, there are already people everywhere.

There were also dead bodies everywhere.

Demon cultists and officers and soldiers were together, shadows intertwined, swords and swords shadowing, and the brutality of the fighting was constantly escalating.

The flares kept going up.With the current technology, one flare can only burn for about 5 minutes at most, but to illuminate the area below the city that is 500 meters long and 80 meters wide, eight flares need to be launched together.

Since the forces of the two sides are intertwined, neither the bird guns, the French machine guns, nor the arrows can hit the city.But these weapons are not useless, Xia Lu ordered them all to fire into the moat.The moat is full of Demon Cult soldiers crossing the river. It is the right time to bombard, shoot, and shoot with arrows!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

On the moat, splashes of water splashed one after another, and countless Demon Cultists fell in the moat while wailing.On the water surface of the moat, there are a large number of corpses of Demon Cult soldiers floating.

But the army of the Demon Cult is still crossing the river tenaciously!Xia Lu thinks that these people are not human at all, they are more like numb puppets, without fear, ignoring death, can this still be considered human?
At this time, a purple phantom suddenly floated in the sky.

She crossed the moat, then soared into the air, and stepped on the city bricks to climb the seventeen or eight-meter-high city wall!
Xia Lu was shocked!Immediately command archers, crossbowmen, and musketeers to shoot wildly at her!

However, the body of the purple-clothed woman was erratic like a ghost, and she avoided all of them one by one with her weird movements, and then fell in front of a Frang cannon, and pushed the Frang cannon down the city wall with one palm!
All the officers and soldiers at the top of the city were stunned when they saw it.

The person who came was one of the three voices of the Devil's Cult, Elder Zi Chu Yun!
Facing the soldiers of the Ming army pouring in like a tide, Chu Yun held the qin in one hand and flicked it lightly with the other. A melodious note burst out in an instant, and then transformed into a sharp air knife.The air knife swept across, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Ming army fell down!

Afterwards, she jumped lightly again, came to another Franc cannon, and knocked it down from the wall with the same palm!
The purple figure jumped back and forth on the top of the city, causing chaos in the top of the city!In an instant, Chu Yun destroyed the three Flang cannons, and at the same time killed more than 100 Ming soldiers with the sound of the piano.

But she is still a mortal after all, and she needs to consume a lot of true energy to support her outbreaks again and again.After destroying the three Frang cannons, she left gracefully.

In a rage, Xia Lu ordered all the firearms soldiers and crossbowmen in the city to shoot at her.The projectiles and crossbow bolts like a storm rushed towards Chu Yun with the momentum of landslide and tsunami.With this kind of power, even the top masters can't retreat completely - because masters are only masters after all, not gods.

A bullet hit Chu Yun's shoulder, blood spattered on her white and flawless skin, leaving a hole the size of an eye.

A crossbow arrow hit Chu Yun's back again. The arrow completely sank into the skin, but fortunately it did not hurt the internal organs.

Zi Yun laughed loudly in the air, and quickly disappeared into the night sky without slowing down.

She was injured twice, but she disrupted the counterattack of the top troops of the Ming army.In this short gap, a large number of demon cultists rushed across the moat and reached the city.

Now, there are more than 2000 demon cultists crossing the river, and they are fully capable of controlling a certain number of ladders!
This is the meaning of masters in war.

And at this moment, a thousand Demon Sect Qingshui Banner soldiers suddenly emerged from the moat!Each of them held an improved crossbow and frantically fired at the Ming army on the shore.

That day they used the same method to help the Ming army kill the Tartars.Turning around now, they can still slaughter the Ming army in the same way.

For them, whether it is the Ming army or the Tartars, when standing in front of them, it makes no difference!
Xia Lu hesitated!
Do you want to send more troops to the city?

The collapsed gap has been built with ruins eight or nine meters high (the original ruins were five or six meters high), and it can barely be used as a city wall.

At this time, of course, it is more cost-effective to let the Demon Cult attack the city wall!As long as the Demon Cult attacks the city walls, the officers and soldiers have cannons, blunderbusses, arrows, asphalt, kerosene, and boiling oil to fight back as much as they want!
Letting the Demon Cult attack the city wall means no longer sending troops outside the city.But what about the brothers who have gone out of the city and are fighting hard in the city?Ignore them and let them be massacred by the Demon Cult?
