Volume 10 Chapter 170

There was no need for Qi Heng to shout, the soldiers pushing the chariot used all their strength to push the chariot to the city gate.

At this time, in order to prevent accidental damage, the Feng Army's trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows had stopped. The Shangwan defenders took advantage of this gap to finally gain a foothold on the city. However, looking outside the city at this time, they saw an overwhelming They are all wind troops, and they have already arrived at the city.

boom!

When the Fengjun's chariots began to hit the city gates and walls, the defenders who returned to the city came to their senses. People twisted their bows and set arrows, jumped on the arrow stacks, and leaned forward to release arrows under the city. But before their arrows were fired, the arrows from the city were already shot up.

Dozens of Mo Jun who jumped onto the arrow stack were the first to bear the brunt and were hit by the Feng Army's arrow array. In just an instant, dozens of people turned into black hedgehogs, their bodies covered with arrow feathers, and their bodies were either hanging on the ground. On the arrow stack, or falling headfirst off the city wall.

Shangwan's city defense was not strong and could not withstand the heavy impact of the car. Under the continuous impact, the city gate was knocked open first. Qi Heng, who had been waiting impatiently, took the lead and rushed in. At the same time, the city gate There was a scream.

Qi Heng's strength is endless, and he has superb spiritual and martial arts skills. On the battlefield, he is indeed brave enough to be invincible to thousands of people. Facing the densely packed defenders, he forced his way into the city from the city gate. Wherever he passed, rivers of blood flowed and corpses were densely covered. In this moment, many of the Mo Junshao died tragically under his spiritual sword. There are as many as two to three hundred numbers.

These ordinary Mo soldiers were not his target. What he was looking for was Gaoguan, the county chief. Entering the city, he continuously unleashed his spiritual martial arts skills to fight back the Mo troops around him. Then he saw a Mo soldier not far away who was so frightened that his legs were weak and he was sitting on the ground. He urged his horse to rush over and buckled the soldier. He held the soldier's shoulder blades, lifted them up, and asked sternly: "Where is the high crown? Tell me!"

The soldier was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and almost fainted on the spot. He stammered and shouted: "The county...the chief of the county ran towards...into the city..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Heng waved his arm and smashed the soldier directly against the city wall. There was a snapping sound in the helix of the ear, and there was a huge pool of blood on the city wall. Qi Heng had already planned it. If he wanted to make a contribution, he had to make the first contribution. There was no greater achievement than killing or capturing the enemy commander alive.

Knowing that Gao Guan had run into the city, Qi Heng rode in pursuit of him. At the same time, a large number of Feng Army also poured into the city, and the bandits who followed Qi Heng and defected to Feng Army rushed to catch up with him, asking in all directions: "Brother Qi, where are we going to fight now? "

Qi Heng looked back at everyone, brandished his sword and said, "Brothers, come with me to capture Gao Guan alive!"

"Yes! Capture Gao Guan alive!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Qi Heng wanted to capture Gao Guan, so he made his first success and led a group of his men to rush into the city. He saw Gao Guan, but that was all. When he saw Gao Guan from a distance on the street, someone had already taken the first step and shot in the dark.

No hidden arrow personnel could be seen, but as a cloud of black mist emerged, a dozen men in black appeared out of thin air around Gao Guan. He didn't even know how to return to the division, but the dozen soldiers around Gao Guan were already there. He was stabbed in the vital part and fell in a pool of blood. The hidden arrow personnel who appeared only used one knife, and immediately retreated and disappeared. Immediately afterwards, more than ten other hidden arrow personnel appeared, and they also only used one fatal knife. After killing the soldiers around Gao Guan, another one appeared. Disappear into thin air.

Gao Guan had never seen such a terrifying and strange enemy. His face changed with fear, and he was guarded by dozens of soldiers and ran forward.

However, they are fast, but they are not as fast as the shadow drift of the hidden arrow personnel. As they run, the hidden arrow personnel disappear and appear around them, but every time they appear, they will be accompanied by the screams of the soldiers. Dead bodies were found on the spot.

It sounds slow, but in fact it is extremely fast. Gao Guan only ran twenty steps. Not one of the hundreds of soldiers around him was left alive. They all fell to the ground. Then, silhouettes appeared around him, killing them. They were surrounded by people.

Gao Guan was quite tough. He knew he was outmatched but refused to surrender. He fiercely pulled out his sword, raised it high above his head, shouted and charged towards a hidden arrow man directly in front of him. The assassin didn't even try to hide. He raised his leg and kicked Gao Guan right in the chin. The latter grunted, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.

Before he fell down, two hidden arrow personnel stepped forward from one left and one right, took out the rope, pulled his shoulders, gathered his back, tied him tightly, then lifted him up like a clutch, and turned around Walk outside the city.

It only took a blink of an eye to kill all the hundreds of soldiers who were protecting Gao Guan and to tie him up and capture him. Qi Heng, who was not far away, and his men were dumbfounded. People opened their mouths unconsciously and forgot to breathe. , it was the first time that they had seen so many dark spiritual cultivators, and it was also the first time that they felt that the attack of a group of dark spiritual cultivators was so terrifying. Qi Heng was not as shocked as his subordinates. It was true that he lamented that he was only one step away. If he could take one more step faster, he would be in front of the hidden arrow! Dark Arrow's attack was too fast, not giving him any chance to make a move.

When the secret arrow personnel passed by him, he sneered coldly: "You are quite fast in taking action. No wonder the king values ​​you so much!"

No one paid attention to him, no one even glanced at him. Dozens of secret assassins filed past silently.

After all the hidden arrow personnel had gone away, Qi Heng's subordinates reacted one after another. They all muttered indignantly: "What's the air? What's so big about it?"

"Brother Qi, Gao Guan was captured by them. What should we do now?"

what to do? We can only settle for the next best thing! Qi Heng secretly shook his head and said harshly: "When you go to the county capital, you all remember clearly that you will kill anyone you see, especially Gao Guan's family members. Don't let any of them escape!"

"Yes! Brother Qi!"

Qi Heng missed the opportunity to capture Gao Guan and vented his anger on Gao Guan's family. They were originally bandits, killing and stealing goods was a common thing, and they had no conscience at all. This large group of people headed by Qi Heng stormed into the county capital and turned the huge official residence into a hell on earth. All men, women, young and old, old, weak, sick and disabled were massacred.

The Battle of Shangwan was pretty much what Tang Yin expected. It was an easy victory. It was over in less than an hour. Most of the nearly 30,000 defenders were killed, and more than 10,000 people were captured alive by the Feng army. Some of them were still alive. Including the county head Gaoguan.

Although Gao Guan didn't know whether to live or die, he was still a good man and loyal. Tang Yin originally planned to persuade him that it would be great if he could surrender. Later, he heard that Qi Heng had taken Gao Guan's family as a child. After killing everyone, Tang Yin simply refused to persuade him to surrender, and directly ordered that Gaoguan be beheaded and his head hung on the top of the city for public display. In addition, he asked Qiu Zhen to write a notice and post it to appease the people.

After the city battle, the Feng army stationed themselves inside and outside Shangwan City. In this battle, Qi Heng did not make the first contribution, but he also went on a killing spree. Not one thousand but eight hundred Mo soldiers died in his hands, which at least proved his determination to join the Feng army. When discussing merit and rewards, Tang Yin also specially commended Qi Heng and named him commander of the 10th Corps of the Directly Affiliated Army. Wuying is the happiest about this. After all, Qi Heng's strength is there. With him joining, the strength of the direct army can also be improved.

The fall of Shangwan indicates that there is no longer a large-scale Mo power in Anqiu County, and the Feng army has basically occupied the entire county.

Anqiu is not a large county, and it is barren and backward. Whether it is occupied by the Feng Army or not, it will have little impact on the national strength of Mo. But the key is that the Feng Army has occupied Anqiu County, and the next step can directly threaten Sishui County. This is What makes Mo Guo uncomfortable the most.

With the direct army under the command of Tang Yin occupying Anqiu, the Pingyuan Army and the Huwei Army moved southward with great momentum. The Sanshui Army and the Tianying Army fought consecutive victories in Ningdi. Now the Mo court had to re-evaluate the Feng Army's full-scale invasion. .

Judging from the current situation, the Feng Army will not stop after capturing a few cities, nor does it have any intention to rescue the Yu State. It seems that the Feng State is really ready to annex the Mo State in one go.

On the third day after the Battle of Shangwan, the news came back to Modu Zhenjiang. Shao Fang was shocked and angry when he heard it. He immediately summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss how to deal with the Feng army's southward movement.

In the court, Left Prime Minister Guo Hui analyzed: "The battle situation of our army in Ningdi is very unfavorable, but it is still far away from our country, so there is no need to worry about a setback. The Pingyuan Army and Huwei Army of the Feng Kingdom are indeed powerful, but our army is heading north. The central army has been hoarded in Zeping County, and it can withstand the southward march of Pingyuan and Huwei armies. The only trouble is the direct army led by King Feng. Although the number of troops is not large, less than 100,000, it has strong combat power and It will be extremely difficult to deal with it if King Feng fights in person. Now that the direct troops have occupied Anqiu County, they will enter Sishui County if they go south. Your Majesty, please make arrangements early!"

After hearing this, Shao Fang wanted to go up and slap Guo Hui twice. What he wanted to hear was not this, but the countermeasures. He said solemnly: "You don't need to elaborate on the analysis of the current situation. I naturally understand in my heart. What I want to know is how to withstand and counterattack the wind army!"

Guo Hui shrunk when he was scolded and lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

Shao Fang turned to look at General Li Jin and asked coldly: "Li Jin, as a general, don't you have nothing to say at this time?"

Li Jin hurriedly came out of the queue, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, for the current plan, our country can only use the reserve army. The reserve army will be transferred to Surabaya County to deal with the southward march of the direct army."

Shao Fang does not understand military affairs and has a cruel temperament, but he is not a fool. What is the reserve army? It is a logistics army composed of newly recruited recruits and veterans who are about to retire. Using such an army to resist the wolf-like and tiger-like wind army is not to attack the stone with an egg and seek death? Furthermore, Zhenjiang is a long way from Surabaya. Is it still possible to dispatch reserve troops now?

He raised his eyebrows, leaned forward, and asked strangely: "General Li, is this the advice you gave me?"
