Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 261 That year, I put my hands in my pockets and didn’t know what an opponent was.
More importantly, Gong Tianwu sent out the golden combination of a military god like Chen Shengzhi and a peerless warrior like Yang Yun. To be honest, he had no idea how to lose.

Sure enough, after just one try, Chen Shengzhi was able to easily control the three enemy forces.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Yuanjing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was still under a lot of pressure.

Before this, when Ye Yuanjing was in the army, the largest battle he had participated in was only a battle involving five or six thousand people, and he was a deputy general.

However, the scale of the ensuing war had already reached the level of a national war. Ye Yuanjing was the main general, and Gong Tianwu had already made it known that even he was under his command.

Ye Yuanjing must be very pleased to be trusted like this, but he is also shouldering a huge pressure. If he is defeated in such a situation, then let alone others, he might not even be able to get over the hurdle in his own heart!

Suddenly, Hasar looked at the other copper basin and said in shock:

"The king's flag is moving! This Wei Qu is wearing armor? What is he going to do? Lead the troops? Lead the army in person?"

After hearing Hasar's words, everyone came forward to watch.

It turns out that in the water mirror you can clearly see:
Wei Qu had already changed into an extremely flashy set of golden armor and rode on an extremely tall and strong camel - this thing should also have half-demon bloodline, and it didn't take the heavy armor on its body seriously at all.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Qu actually rode on the camel and walked slowly towards the city gate in front of him.

The king of a country actually went directly to the battlefield. The motivation for his soldiers was visible to the naked eye. For a moment, the morale of the Langshan army was boiling! They began to guard the king.

Undoubtedly, Chen Yunsheng also came to the city wall at this time, watching the movement here with a gloomy face. He suddenly turned his head and said to a general next to him:

"Try using Wanliqiyunyan?"

After Gong Tianwu created the Wild Wolf Crossbow, Chen Yunsheng reaped great benefits from it.

He was not a stupid person, so he immediately realized that there was great potential to be tapped, so he recruited craftsmen to use the new technology obtained from the Wild Wolf Crossbow to develop new long-range weapons.

Wanliqiyunyan is one of the trial-produced ones. It is extremely powerful and very expensive.

Of course, Chen Yunsheng would definitely feel that it was worth it to use it on a high-value target like Wei Qu.

Ma Feng next to him is the general in charge of this matter and is deeply trusted by Chen Yunsheng.

He shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, now is not the right time. We must be absolutely sure to use Wanli Qiyunyan. We only have one chance to strike."

Chen Yunsheng nodded and let out a long breath:
"you're right."

As Wei Qu continued to advance, it was obvious that both the attacking and defending sides knew that Wei Qu must have a trump card to reveal to decide the outcome. Otherwise, why would he run under the city wall to be shot?

Sure enough, a large amount of smoke suddenly rose from the west gate, followed by violent noise and chaos.

Gong Tianwu and others who were far away were able to discover through the water mirror technique that a raging fire suddenly broke out at the west gate!
The fire released a large amount of thick yellow smoke. The soldiers who smelled it froze in place, then their eyes widened and they slashed at their colleagues nearby with their swords.

The situation on this section of the city wall collapsed immediately, and the Langshan army in the distance was also well prepared. They shouted and then immediately rushed up, forming a melee.

Witnessing this scene, Hasar was immediately shocked and said:
"What the hell is this? I've never heard of it before?"

Mr. Sang, who had remained silent all this time, said:

"You humans used to like to collect wolf feces and use it as material for beacons after it dried, so beacons are also called wolf smoke."

"And if I'm not mistaken, this thing should be to capture a demon wolf first, then infect it with madness, and then collect its wolf feces to refine this mad wolf smoke."

Hasar took a breath of cold air:
"Is it so cruel?"

Old Sang said:

"However, Langshan Country is a vassal state of the righteous Shenxiao Sect, and this Crazy Wolf Smoke is a typical product made by evil methods."

"So I guess Wei Qu is also very cautious. If he uses it once or twice, he can use it as an excuse that his subordinates bought it by accident. He used it once because he was forced into a desperate situation. If he uses it frequently, he will be accused of colluding with evil forces."

Ye Yuanjing was very proficient in defending the city, and continued:
"This thing is not very useful in the open battlefield, and it is not very effective when the wind is strong. It is only effective when used in places with extremely dense personnel such as siege warfare."

Obviously, something unexpected happened on Ximen's side, and the four words "making a feint to the east and attacking in the west" emerged in the minds of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion at the same time. At the same time, they cursed Wei Qu, the old bastard, for being so insidious and actually playing such a trick.

After two minutes, Ye Yuanjing suddenly analyzed in a deep voice:

"No! There is still a problem with the deployment of troops here. If this is to be the main breakthrough point, then the number of people charging should be at least doubled."

Sure enough, just a dozen seconds after Ye Yuanjing made his judgment, Wei Qu used his trump card. Crazy wolf smoke appeared again on the city wall in front of him, even covering Chen Yunsheng.

At this time, Wei Qu did not make any mobilization at all. He drew the long sword at his waist, swung it forward fiercely, and then rode forward.

The soldiers behind him let out shocking shouts and rushed towards the entire San Sheng City.

Seeing this scene, Ye Yuanjing stood up suddenly, and then said to Gong Tianwu:

"The opportunity has arrived. The prince knows very well that Wei Qu will not let him go, so he will definitely resist to the end. If we go over and attack now, the main force of the Langshan Army has already broken into the city and is fighting in the streets. They will definitely not be able to withdraw. We must win this battle!"

Gong Tianwu nodded and said:
"I've already said this before, you're the head coach, and I, including Hasar, will listen to your orders!"

Just as Ye Yuanjing was about to speak, another messenger rushed in and said excitedly:

"Report! General Yang has arrived with two thousand cavalrymen."

After hearing this, Ye Yuanjing's eyes suddenly brightened and he said:

"Okay! Pass the order down, tell General Yang and his men to take some time to rest, eat, and recover their strength. Leave their horses here. We have enough for them to ride on."

***
Time passes quickly.
It was already evening, and the clouds in the sky had begun to be dyed red by the sunset. Although the Langshan Army had successfully entered the city, the speed of advancement was still extremely slow.

It was only because the Black Armor Guards evacuated quickly when the city wall fell that they did not suffer serious damage. Then they relied on the buildings in the city to engage in street fighting with them.

In a battle involving such complex terrain, the Wild Wolf crossbow once again gave the defenders a great advantage.

A wounded soldier hiding on the second floor facing the street could easily kill two or three elite soldiers of the Langshan Army as long as he had the strength to pull the trigger.

Moreover, the residents of Sansheng City are fighting to protect their homes, children, and parents, and their fighting will is extremely firm.

At the same time, less than a minute after the city was captured, thick smoke began to rise from the mountains to the north. The whole city regarded it as a signal that reinforcements were about to arrive.

Suddenly, a desolate horn sound of "Woo-woo-woo" was heard in the distance. Although most of the Langshan army had already entered the city, there was still an elite force that had not moved.

This army is the Yulin Guard. Their usual responsibility is to protect the king. They are extremely elite and can be regarded as the last line of defense for the king.

At this time, it was almost obvious that Sansheng City had reinforcements, so unless the commander of the Langshan Army was a fool, he would definitely leave some men behind to guard against possible reinforcements.

Of course, this also indirectly led to a shortage of troops rushing into the city from the front.

It took them nearly half a day to break into the city, and they only managed to occupy less than half of Sansheng City. Not to mention that there was the City Lord's Mansion, a tough nut to crack that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, waiting to be gnawed behind?

As soon as the Imperial Guards moved, the watchtower in the City Lord's Mansion also caught the signal. Everyone rushed to tell each other, crying with joy:

"Reinforcements are coming!!"

"Seventh Young Master's reinforcements are here."

“They arrived ahead of schedule.”

"."

Of course, the Yulin Guards also took off their visors and began to slowly ride their horses and form a formation. Because they had the monarch behind them, their morale reached its peak.

Especially the leaders of the Yulin Guards, all of them showed cruel and bloodthirsty smiles! Then they mixed into the army that was slowly moving forward.

At this time, they were very idle. They were not afraid of the enemy coming, but they were afraid that the enemy would not come!
Soon, the enemy appeared in front of the Yulin Guards. A group of cavalrymen wearing white robes appeared in the smoke and dust. After seeing them, they began to charge forward at an accelerated speed!
The people on the Yulin Guard side were also experienced in fighting, and of course they would not be thrown off balance like the rookies. Instead, they would wait until the enemy was about a mile away before speeding up. Charging ahead in advance would only waste precious horsepower.

Surprisingly, when the Yulin Guards began to try to speed up, the cavalry in white robes actually began to slow down and finally stopped!
Under the bewildered gaze of the Yulin Guards, they were greeted by a horrific rain of arrows!

Because those cavalrymen took out their crossbows and fired a terrifying volley at them!

At this moment, at least a hundred riders fell to the ground. What was even more terrible was that the crossbow could fire three shots in a row.

The three waves of volleys caused the Imperial Guards to lose nearly 300 people without even smelling the enemy.
Perhaps less than fifty people were shot dead on the spot, but the remaining wounded obviously could not return to the battlefield in a short time, and the dead and wounded horses were even more difficult to replace.

This is more than 20% of the Yulin Guards' strength!!
A general reluctantly pulled out the crossbow arrow from his chest. The tip of the crossbow arrow had been completely twisted and deformed. The general roared angrily:
"How can these bastards shoot so far? The crossbow we seized has a range of only two-thirds of theirs."

As the personal guard of the monarch, the Yulin Guard should naturally have the best equipment. Thanks to Gong Tianwu and his brothers, the Wild Wolf Crossbow is also standard equipment for them.

As if to verify the general's words, many of the Yulin Guards took out their Wild Wolf Crossbows and fought back. As expected, they found that the gap was astonishing - the opponent had at least one-third of the range advantage.

At this time, this group of white-robed cavalrymen had taken advantage of the chaos of the Yulin Guards, turned their horses around and quickly retreated.

When had the arrogant Yulin Guards ever suffered such a big loss? They immediately rode their horses madly to chase after them, and then vowed to make them pay for their previous crimes with their blood.

They were greeted by another round of rain of arrows, but the prepared Yulin Guards only lost a dozen cavalry this time, and they were surprised to find one thing - the guys in front of them actually threw away their crossbows.

So these muscular guys quickly figured out the truth:
"I get it. The reason why their crossbows can shoot farther than ours is because their crossbows wear out faster. Now these bastards have no means of long-range attack?!"

So, the Yulin Guards continued to chase with anger. After chasing for three miles, they suddenly heard the sound of hooves like thunder on the hillside next to them, and another group of cavalry in white robes was charging rapidly towards them.

The worst thing was that they were aiming at their own flank, like an arrow aimed at the weak spot of a poisonous snake.

The one charging at the front of this cavalry was a man wearing a hideous mask. The face on the mask was that of Mahakala! ! !

***
an hour later,
The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the entire battlefield red. The wind blew dust and the smell of blood across the cracked land.

The defeated soldiers in the distance were scattered like sheep being chased by wolves, and further away, a cavalry in white robes was charging forward with the sound of thundering hooves!
Agula endured the severe pain in his waist and could only lie in the pile of corpses pretending to be dead, watching the general leading the cavalry charge into the enemy camp.

What kind of horse was that—the snow-white warhorse was like a dragon, the white battle robe was fluttering, and the silver armor was shining coldly in the setting sun.

The most horrifying thing was that on his face he had a terrifying mask of Mahakala. Wherever he went, he swept away everything like a whirlwind, and no one could be his match.

In the tall buildings, pavilions, and several sections of the city walls that had not been conquered in Sansheng City, the remaining soldiers were already shouting enthusiastically and excitedly: "Unparalleled Ming Wang."

Obviously, the king of Langshan State could not tolerate his warriors being slaughtered right outside the camp, so red flags were flying in the camp and three generals rushed out.

Agula recognized them:
Tuoba Xiong, who wielded two hammers, smashed the gate of Sanmaguan by himself last year.

Wanyan Tiegu, who wielded a huge axe, had just chopped a general and his horse in half last month;
There is also Helian Qing, a Xixia man who uses double hooks. It is said that he likes to hook out the eyes of prisoners.
The three of them joined forces to face the terrifying general.

The silver light exploded.

At the first shot, just as Tuoba Xiong raised his hammers to his chest, a flower of blood burst out from his throat.

With the second shot, Wanyan Tiegu's axe was still in the air, and the man's head was chopped off.

The third shot was the most brutal. Helian Qing's double hooks were easily cut into four pieces, and he was lifted up to a height of three feet. Blood spurted out in the air, and his internal organs were all over the ground when he landed!
Witnessing this scene, Gong Tianwu couldn't help but think of a sentence:

That year, I put my hands in my pockets and didn't know what an opponent was.
