Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 72 Siege and Defense
Something happened, I couldn't come back at night, so I rushed out of this chapter ahead of time! ——
"Junior Brother Qin, aren't you afraid that we will run away with your things?"

"I trust the character of Senior Sister Ye and Junior Brother Shen very much!"

"Hehe...you know how to be glib!"

"Senior Sister, you should be more careful!"

Ye Shan'er nodded, if the treasures in her hands were exposed, even the foundation-building stage monks might be tempted.

Shen Yuan suddenly walked between the two of them, looking at this for a while, looking at that for a while, looking like a thief, he almost said "You guys have an adulterous affair".

Ye Shan'er glared at him with a blushing face, then glanced at Qin Chuan again, turned around and ran towards Qingshi City, Shen Yuan also smiled and followed.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Qin Chuan showed a thoughtful expression on his face. To him, the value of the things in the storage bag was not high, but it was just six middle-grade magic tools and some talismans. The purpose of doing this is indeed to test the two of them, and the heart of defense is indispensable. If the two of them can't even withstand this temptation, then it's better to stay away from them as soon as possible in the future!
"Boy Qin, that little girl seems to be interested in you!" Situ Wuhui's voice suddenly came from the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Really, why didn't I see it?"

"That's because your EQ is too low!"

……

On the fourth day, the foot of Longshou Peak was crowded with people. Nearly [-] qi refining disciples were divided into six columns, and each column was a monk camp. The inner monk led the team.

The leader of the monk camp where Qin Chuan is located is named Meng Qisong. It is said that this person is currently the number one expert in the inner sect and also from the Meng family, but because he is a side branch, he is far less valued than Meng Xiaochong.

Thinking of Meng Xiaochong, Qin Chuan glanced around and found that this guy was not in this team, but ran to the monk camp led by Wang Yu, and was talking to a very pretty girl at this time, and the Wang family Those monks are staring at him unkindly.

Before departure, the head teacher Meng Yuantong came in person and said some passionate words of encouragement, which made the blood of all the participating disciples excited, and then several teams rushed to Dingyuan City together.

There was nothing to say on the road. After a few days of fast driving, passing through Cangyun Mountain, a huge city stood in front of me. The city was five or six feet high, and the walls were all made of huge stones.

The geographical location of Dingyuan City is very superior, with the Cangyun Mountains in the northeast and the Tianyun Mountains in the northwest. The city is just sandwiched between the two mountains, and it has become an important traffic route connecting the north and the south. Compared with other important border towns, the rear is mostly mountainous. To the south of Dingyuan City is the fertile wilderness of Pingchuan. Therefore, the Yuanwu Army, which is famous for its beast cavalry and heavy armored cavalry, will focus on attacking Dingyuan City every time. As long as Dingyuan City is broken, the Northern Qi The door is equal to completely wide open.

It is worth mentioning that there is a moat around the city outside the city, and part of the melted ice and snow flows into this big river, making the river turbulent. It takes a lot of effort to forcibly attack the city based on this alone. No wonder Yuan The Wu army's repeated attacks were blocked by this.

Someone in the city had discovered Yan Luozong's team a long time ago, and someone sent a sound transmission talisman into the city. After a short time, the huge suspension bridge was lowered, and the team entered the city smoothly.

Compared with the desolation along the way, the city of Dingyuan is full of people, there are patrols, people carrying supplies, and many wounded soldiers leaning against the wall blankly. At least 100 million troops are stationed in the entire city, but no one speaks loudly. Noisy, giving people a depressing sense of dullness.

There were more than a dozen people who came to welcome this team, but their attires were distinct. The ones in heavy armor were of course generals of the army, and the ones in Confucian robes were undoubtedly monks of the Haoran Sect.

There are two people in the lead, one looks over 50 years old, dressed in bronze heavy armor, tall and big, with a stern complexion, while the other looks 27 or [-] years old, with a feather fan scarf, elegant and unrestrained.

"Hehe, welcome fellow Taoists of Yan Luozong to come to help in the battle. I will welcome you in Shimoda Yizhi. Forgive me for my sin!" the elegant young man spoke first.

The old man also clapped his hands and reported his family name. This person is the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, King Zhengbei Xue Hengchong.

Yan Luozong was represented by Meng Qisong and Wang Yu, exchanged pleasantries with each other, and was then taken to a camp where monks concentrated to settle down. Due to the limited tents, several people needed to share one camp. Qin Chuan had his own plan. Rejecting this arrangement, monks pay more attention to privacy, so this kind of thing is not rare, but there are still some rules that must be followed, such as obeying the command, and some military important places are not allowed to approach without permission, etc.

After settling down, he wandered around the city, on the one hand to get familiar with the layout of the city as soon as possible, and on the other hand to inquire about the whereabouts of Fang Shilong and Fang Shilin brothers.

After turning around, he knew that his previous plan was a bit too simple. There are only six camps where monks gather here. Judging from the clothes of the people entering and leaving, at least three of them belong to the Haoran Sect, which means that the Fang brothers are likely to In these three places, but it is impossible to judge which one it is.

Inquiring directly is likely to arouse people's suspicion. He can only adopt some insinuating methods, such as saying "meet the fellow from Wanghai City", but these need to be discussed in the long run!
Back at the place where Yan Luozong was concentrated, he met Meng Xiaochong first, then found a relatively secluded place, activated the mask of the Xuanshui Forbidden Formation, and began to meditate.

In the middle of the night, before he could finish his work, a horn sounded suddenly, and someone shouted for the enemy to attack the city.

The siege of the city in the middle of the night was obviously not the first time, except that the newcomers were a little flustered, but overall they were orderly. Each monk battalion was taken to the city wall to assist the soldiers in defending the city.

Standing on the wide city wall and looking far away, on the other side of the moat, the pine oil torches are as bright as day, and the tide-like Yuanwu army is shouting and rushing in. At a glance, the sky is overwhelming, like locusts, and you will never understand it unless you are there. The shock of it.

Blocked by the moat, the attack cannot go directly to the city. Yuan Wu soldiers are filling the river with "gabion" and sandbags.

Under the command of the general, the Northern Qi soldiers standing on the city wall began to shoot thousands of arrows. Such a dense rain of arrows was also chilling, but the Yuanwu Army had already prepared for it. Layers of water curtains suddenly rose above the moat. The question is that the other party's monk made a move.

As the team leader, Meng Qisong issued the first order, "Everyone prepare...fireball!"

A fireball technique is nothing, but hundreds of thousands of fireballs are continuously sent out, even the monks at the Jindan period have to avoid the edge temporarily, the water curtain is broken, and the soldiers once again fired ten thousand arrows, rows of Yuanwu soldiers It fell, but soon the water curtain reappeared.

After such a stalemate for a while, the archers of the Yuanwu Army arrived and shot at the city. At the same time, there was a sound of piercing through the sky, and hundreds of huge birds suddenly flew over and swooped down on the soldiers at the top of the city. And down.

"It's a spirit bird raised by the Beast God Sect, and it has a concentrated attack with a long-range attack magic weapon!"

Qin Chuan adopted the most mana-saving method, using a black iron shield for protection, and manipulating a middle-grade flying sword to attack those spirit birds. These spirit birds are mainly ferocious flying eagles and vultures. Only magic weapons can pose a threat to them.

Flying swords, flying knives, light arrows, and wind blades staggered and swirled. From time to time, spirit birds were shot down, and occasionally caught fish rushed to the top of the city. Soldiers and some monks who were not good at melee combat were unlucky, or they were blown down by giant wings. Citadel, or let the giant claws and sharp beaks scratch and bite.

Due to the distraction of the monks and soldiers guarding the city, the speed of filling the river by the Yuanwu Army accelerated, especially those monks used storage bags to transport sand and stones, which shortened the process. Several "barrages" were finally built, and the water surface between these barrages was covered with floating corpses.

After the barrage was built, the Yuan Wu army did not immediately attack the city. Instead, the monks in battle armor and holding shields rushed over first. Their goal was not the city gate but the suspension bridge. Since the moat was running water, the barrage was very fast. It will be overwhelmed or even crushed, and only by lowering the suspension bridge is the real attack channel.

The two sides of the suspension bridge are pulled up by dozens of bowl-thin fine iron chains. It is not easy for those monks' flying swords to cut off the chains, and the monks and soldiers in the city will not let them succeed easily!

Battle armor and shields are undoubtedly very useful for defending against sharp weapons such as swords. The monks mainly from the Haoran Sect have experienced it a long time ago. They have their own methods to deal with this kind of "turtle shell". Even the bed crossbows and trebuchets on the city No need, one by one holding magic weapon talismans, drawing talismans in the void, and then flying giant trees one after another to the monks crossing the river.

To draw talismans in the void, one must use magic tools and talisman pens, using one's own mana as a guide. Haoranzong is good at "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting". The "painting" here refers to talismans. It is useless at all, because it takes time, even the simplest fireball talisman needs three or four breaths to succeed, but it is very useful as a means of defending the city in front of you. The monk who was hit by the giant tree either fell into the river or was killed. The energy and blood of the collision surged, and it took only an instant to cause heavy casualties.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Wu soldiers rushed across the barrage and immediately launched a full-scale assault to buy time for the monks to cut off the iron chains. A ladder was erected, and siege vehicles rushed over the barrage.

The brutal offensive and defensive battle officially began. The drums were rumbling, and the blood was pervasive, completely igniting people's blood. At this time, people seemed to have forgotten fear and life and death, and only knew about killing.

Qin Chuan heard the strange screams of the little fat man beside him. This guy is not good at close combat, but at this moment he is holding an ax and slashing wildly at the Yuan Wu soldiers who attacked the city. It's different from the blood-devouring light soldiers, his eyes are clearly full of excitement and excitement, this guy only regards war as a killing game!
With a loud "bang", the suspension bridge fell, and more Yuanwu soldiers swarmed across the moat, while the monks from the Beast God Sect and the Tianlongmen began to concentrate their firepower to launch a long-range attack against the monks from the Northern Qi side on the city wall, and the battle began. Hot!
