Chapter 470 The Demon Sect Attacks the South Gate Again
At this time, Hong Chengchou in Guyuan got three pieces of news.

The first two are from Qin Shuhuai. One is that his martial arts allied forces will arrive in Lanzhou in ten days, but he himself will arrive in Lanzhou tomorrow night.Second, he told Hong Chengchou that the total strength of the Demon Cult is about [-].

The third news came from Lanzhou city.There are about [-] Demon Sect troops besieging Lanzhou, of which [-] are members of the Demon Cult and [-] are Ma Shouying.

Considering that the Demon Cult still had to guard Xining, Wuwei and other occupied cities, the experienced Hong Chengchou immediately calculated that the Demon Cult could not spare any troops to ambush outside Lanzhou City.

So he made a decisive decision and led an army of 300 to advance to Dagou Township, which is only [-] miles away from Lanzhou City. It will be more convenient to support during the war.

That night, the Devil's Cult did not attack, and nothing happened overnight.

During the daytime of the second day, the Devil's Cult remained motionless and extremely peaceful.

Fifteen hundred Houtu Bannermen were tunneling nervously underground.After observing that the Ming army had buried a large number of "water tanks" on the other side of the moat, Houtuqi had to change the target and just dug the tunnel until it just crossed the moat and stopped.

In the evening, the Demon Cult camp.

A middle-aged man with elegant temperament and handsome appearance walked into the camp lightly.In his hand, he was holding a golden long flute, which shone brightly against the setting sun and was extraordinarily dazzling.

Seeing him, all the members of the Devil's Cult in the camp knelt down and saluted.

"Meet Elder Jin."

Jin Xiao Langjun Yu Zhu seldom shows up in Jianghu, and this time he came to Lanzhou to be assigned by the leader Yan Wuyue to help.

After entering Zhao Wuhen's camp, except for Zhao Wuhen and Chu Yun, the rest of the generals stood up and saluted him.

Yu Zhu nodded to everyone with a smile, and then said to Zhao Wuhen, "Guardian Zhao, can Lanzhou City be released tonight? The leader is waiting to come."

Zhao Wuhen nodded and said, "With Elder Jin here, I can go down to Lanzhou City tonight."

"Oh? According to Zhao Hufa, I have to follow you to Lanzhou City?"

"Elder Jin hasn't been out of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and this time he finally came out, don't you want to go to Lanzhou City to try your Sky Profound Kungfu?" Zhao Wuhen asked back.

Yu Zhu smiled faintly, "Since Protector Zhao has an order, I will naturally obey it."

At night, the south gate of Lanzhou city.

The moonlight is still not good, which is very beneficial to the Demon Cult.

However, under the city wall of the south gate, there are dense bonfires, illuminating the night like day.

In addition to the bonfire, there are densely packed horses and caltrops all over the place.This shows that the Ming army no longer intends to fight the Demon Sect under the city.

At three o'clock in the morning, in the darkness, a large number of thunderbolts from the Demon Sect were thrown from the opposite bank.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Thunderbolt was accurately thrown into the bonfire on the opposite bank. After a violent explosion, the bonfire pile was blown up one after another, leaving only the sparkle of sparks all over the ground.

The bonfires relatively close to the moat were basically destroyed.

The soldiers of the Ming army who were listening to the "water tank" under the city immediately ran back to the city.

Subsequently, a large number of ladders were erected on the moat again.

The Demon Cult soldiers frantically crossed the river like the tide.

At the top of the city, the Ming army immediately launched a fierce counterattack. For a while, guns fired and arrows shot out, pouring crazily on the moat.

The shells fell on the moat, setting off water columns one after another, making people feel like they were in the sea amidst the stormy waves.Some shells directly blew up the ladder, while others directly blew up on the Demon Cult soldiers, like the sickle of death, harvesting wave after wave of life.

The power of bows and arrows and bird guns is much smaller.This time the Demon Cult's men and horses crossing the river first were all wearing large shields, which might not be able to penetrate with bows and arrows and bird guns.

After paying a considerable price, about a hundred people from the Demon Cult's leading troops crossed the river first.But as soon as they took a step, each of them showed a painful look.

It turned out that the officers and soldiers threw countless caltrops on the ground. These caltrops were all black and shiny, and they should have been soaked in poisonous water.

Since the sky was relatively dark and the grassland was in the mud, most people who crossed the river did not notice these little things, so at least some people above the average level were tricked.

These people had no choice but to endure the pain, limping and sweeping a clean area, then planted a large shield on the ground, sat cross-legged under the cover of the shield, and practiced detoxification.For these ordinary soldiers whose cultivation base is not high, if this kind of fast poison is not forced out as soon as possible, it can easily kill them.

Those who were not recruited, formed a group of twenty or so people, while kicking away the iron dysentery, touched two places, spread out their shields and waited for something.

Under the ground, the Demon Sect's Thick Earth Banner was digging holes frantically.At this time, no one is listening in the city, so digging is fine.

The Ming army restored eight of the Folang machine guns at the top of the city. Because it was judged that the Demon Cult would attack from the south gate, Cao Wenzhao dispatched another cannon from the other three.

bombardment!pouring!

The dense firepower network will cause the first round of consumption to the siege enemy!If they cross the moat and gather under the city, then fire oil, boiling oil, and asphalt will give them a second round of consumption!
Everything looks perfect.

Until three figures suddenly appeared in the sky!
These three figures floated like ghosts from the west, middle and south of the south gate wall!

Xia Lu looked at it and sneered in his heart: It's finally here!
In view of the lessons learned from Chu Yun's raging on the city wall last time, this time the Ming army specially ambushed [-] crossbowmen behind the battlements to deal with the masters of the Demon Cult!

Following Xia Lu's order, four hundred crossbowmen stood up one after another and shot wildly at these three people!
"Whoosh whoosh!"

The dense crossbow arrows rushed towards them like raindrops.

However, these three people had already prepared a light shield each, and blocked these crossbow arrows one by one.Even if some crossbow arrows bypassed the light shield, they were easily blocked by them.

These three people were, of course, Zhao Wuhen, the Left Protector of the Demon Sect, Chu Yun, the Elder Zi, and Yu Zhu, the Elder Jin.

The three fell lightly to the top of the city, and immediately began to wreak havoc.

Chu Yun held the magic piano, and her ice-like jade fingers caressed the strings. The beautiful sound of the piano was mixed with fierce real energy, which instantly transformed into a shape like a knife or a sword, continuously piercing through the bodies of Ming soldiers one after another.

Yu Zhu Jinxiao was in his hand, and he was blowing it slowly, the sound of magic came out from the golden flute, either low or high, all the soldiers of the Ming army around him were churning with anger, dizzy, eardrums hurting, and they were all crazy with their ears covered Roaring, yelling, and running wildly, some even fell directly to the bottom of the city.

And Zhao Wuhen's weapon is a pair of iron hands, this iron hand is black and shiny, neither iron nor steel, the weapon will make a clear clanging sound when it is cut on it, but it can't hurt the slightest.The iron hand is flexible and changeable, without being bulky at all, just like a glove.At the top of the five fingers of the iron hand, there is a small curved hook. If one claw goes down, the opponent's skin will be ripped apart and bloody.But whoever was caught with the neck and head covered, all died on the spot.Only those who are caught in the abdomen and chest by him are even more miserable, because the internal organs must flow out for a while before they die in pain and terror.

Zhao Wuhen's movement is extremely fast, he only sees his shadow but not his body when he comes and goes, like a ghost.

The name of "Ghost King" is all tied to this.

The city was indeed in chaos!
