Chapter 540
Xiao Muqing and Wu Guang attacked Xiaoxia, feigning an attack in the open, harassing the Ning army day and night with trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows, and secretly digging tunnels by taking advantage of the soft land conditions in the Hedong area to prepare to sneak into Xiaoxia City. Read the full text.
On the other side, the Sanshui Army commanded by Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuanrang has also arrived in Fengcheng. Fengcheng was about the same size as Xiaoxia. As soon as the Sanshui Army arrived at Fengcheng City, Shangguan Yuanrang, who could not bear it for a long time, asked Liang Qi to join the battle.
Liang Qi didn't stop him, and couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. He sent three thousand elite troops to Shangguan Yuan and let him go to war, while he commanded the Sanshui Army to camp outside Fengcheng. Let's talk about Shangguan Yuanrang, who led three thousand strong Sanshui troops to the front of Fengcheng City to challenge the enemy.
The commander-in-chief of Fengcheng's 100,000 Ning Army, Yan Kuo, had already arrived at the city gate. He saw a Feng General riding a tall horse in front of the city gate, wandering back and forth in a show of force. His mouth was unclean and he kept swearing. He was angry and sneered. He made a sound, turned his head and asked: "Which general is willing to take the enemy general's head?"
"The last general is willing to go!" As soon as Yan Cui finished his words, more than ten of his generals stood up to fight. Yan Zhi smiled proudly and said: "General Du Chao went out to meet the enemy, and General Liu Shi followed up!"
"General, I obey!" Du Chao and Liu Shi's second generals did not even hesitate when their names were called. They stepped in to accept the order. They turned around and walked down the city wall, jumped on their horses, and led three thousand Ning troops to fight out of the city.
Du Chao can also be regarded as a brave and skilled general with domineering spirit, proficient skills and rich combat experience. After leaving the city gate, he did not hesitate for a moment, urged his horse to rush to Shangguan Yuanrang, waved the sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Uncle, the nameless people will not die under the sword, come and make a name for yourself!"
Yo, what a loud tone! Shangguan Yuanrang looked at Du Chao sideways for a few times, and just as he was about to speak, he closed his mouth again. He wanted to tell his name, but was afraid that he would scare him to death before he could do anything. He laughed strangely, and suddenly Urging the war horse, he rushed straight towards Du Chao. At the same time, he raised the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand high.
Unexpectedly, this dark wind general suddenly took action without even reporting his name. Moreover, the opponent's war horse was extremely fast, just like lightning. He was in front of his eyes in an instant. Du Chao's heart trembled. He couldn't even reach the spiritual transformation of his soldiers. After finishing, I can only parry with a horizontal sword with all my strength.
He thought that his opponent was going to chop him down with one strike, but he didn't know that Shangguan Yuanrang's sword was just a show of force, a feint. Just when the heads of the two war horses were about to cross each other, Shangguan Yuanrang suddenly changed from a chop to a stab. , stabbed Du Chao straight in the chest.
This change of move was too fast and too unexpected. Shangguan Yuan used his own sword and relied on the inertia of the war horse. The power of the sword was already faster than human vision. Du Chao had just released his spiritual energy and wanted to complete the spiritual armor transformation, but the spiritual energy was only The three-pointed two-edged knife had already stabbed him to the core before it could condense outside his body.
flutter!
With a muffled sound, Du Chao screamed, turned over and fell off his horse. After landing, his limbs twitched a few times, and then there was no movement. Liu Shi, who was watching the battle from behind, didn't even have a chance to rescue him. Du Chao had already been picked off his horse.
"Ah——" Liu Shi screamed, watching helplessly as his brothers died tragically in front of the two armies. He was filled with grief and anger, and his liver and gallbladder burst with anger. He waved the silver gun in his hand, and the spiritual transformation of the soldiers and the transformation of the spiritual armor were completed at the same time. , then urged the horse forward and shouted: "What a despicable and shameless wind thief, taking advantage of others' unpreparedness, what's the point? You will pay with your life!"
Liu Shi rushed to the vicinity of Shangguan Yuanrang like crazy. Before anyone arrived, the soul-chasing thorns had been released first. He saw all the spirit thorns flying towards Shangguan Yuanrang. How could Shangguan Yuanrang take such a skill seriously? He swung his sword casually, and the chaos and wind came out, easily dispelling the opponent's soul-chasing stab. Just when the two horses were in the wrong stirrups, he slashed with his backhand and responded. Cut off the back of Liu Shi's head. Liu Shi reacted quickly, thrust his spirit gun behind him, and used the barrel of the gun to catch the opponent's knife. If he had been an ordinary opponent, this sword would have been blocked by him, but his opponent was Shangguan Yuanrang, and his heavy sword was not so easy to catch.
A harsh golden sound of "Dang Cang Cang" was heard in the ear. Looking at Liu Shi again, he was thrown forward from the war horse and fell for more than five meters before falling to the ground. The spirit gun in his hand was also knocked away. It's a long way out. He felt that what he just received was not a sword, but more like he was blocking a huge monster, and its force seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
He was lying on the ground, and before he could catch his breath, Shangguan Yuanrang ran over on horseback and stopped in front of Liu Shi. The knife in his hand dropped down and pressed against Liu Shi's neck. He raised his head, looked up at General Ning, who was headed by Yan Zhi on the top of the city, and said proudly: "Do you have no choice but to send soldiers and generals to die? Such a rat is not worthy of sacrificing a knife to the uncle!" As he spoke, he slightly hesitated. The three-pointed two-edged knife was raised a little, and then he slapped it down hard. There was a crisp sound. The blade of the three-pointed two-edged knife hit Liu Shi's back of the head. The spiritual armor on the latter's head snapped in response. , and even his whole head was beaten to pieces, blood and brains sprayed all over the floor.
Wow - at this time, the entire Fengcheng city was in an uproar. Not only the expressions of Ning Jun's officers and soldiers were so frightened that they could not help but gasp. Who is this Feng General? How could it be so powerful? Two generals on our side were killed by each other's swords without even taking a turn. This... this is too terrifying!
Sweat dripped down his stern forehead unconsciously. He looked around, not daring to ask who was still willing to go out to meet the enemy. Instead, he asked: "Generals, who is this... this general?"
The generals looked at each other in confusion and did not answer. The other party never reported his name. How could they know who this person was? At this time, Wang Yi frowned and said solemnly: "The sword this general wields is a three-pointed two-edged sword, and it is extremely powerful. I'm afraid... he is the most powerful general in the Feng Kingdom - Shangguan Yuanrang!"
Hearing the words Shangguan Yuanrang, Yan Zhi and his subordinates all took a breath. Even if they have never eaten pork, they have seen pigs running away. Although they have never seen Shangguan Yuanrang himself, they have heard about his deeds. You have lived too much, how about fighting invincible? He is already one of the top three spiritual martial arts masters in Ningguo, and even the invincible master is no match for Shangguan Yuanrang, which shows his domineering spiritual martial arts.
Facing the wind army coming to attack the city, Yan Zhi was still confident. Now that he heard that Shangguan Yuan Rang was outside the city, his confidence suddenly lost. He said in a trembling voice: "Old General Wang, Shangguan Yuan Rang is far from our enemy. Now that he has come to attack Fengcheng, how should I respond?"
Wang Yi sighed secretly, now this battle can no longer be fought. Since Shangguan Yuanrang is outside the city, as many of his own people will die as many as he goes out. He said sternly: "General, quickly give the order and close the city gate tightly. I will wait. We can only rely on Fengcheng’s defense to hold on, and we must not fight against the enemy!”
"Yes, yes, yes! What the old general said is absolutely true!" Yan Zui nodded repeatedly and immediately issued an order to close the four doors tightly and prepare all soldiers to defend the city.
Ning's army no longer sent generals to fight, but closed the city gates tightly and assumed a defensive posture. Shangguan Yuanrang yelled and cursed for a while, but when he saw that Ning's army was unmoved, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.
At this time, the main camp of the Sanshui Army was not ready yet. Liang Qi was commanding the army. When he saw Shangguan Yuanrang coming back, he immediately stepped forward to greet him and said with a smile: "Our army's flag was raised and we were victorious. We killed two generals of the Ning Army in a row." , Great work has been done to boost the morale of our army, General Yuan Rang!”
Shangguan Yuanrang was not an easy person to get along with. He had a bad temper and was moody. He would fall out with him at any time. Except for Tang Yin and his three brothers, he ignored everyone. Liang Qi had already figured out Shangguan Yuanrang. He has a unique personality and knows what words to say will best suit his thoughts. He is also one of the few people in Fengjun who can get along well with Shangguan Yuanrang. It was precisely because of this that Tang Yin was relieved to send Shangguan Yuanrang to the Sanshui Army.
"Haha!" After hearing Liang Qi's words, Shangguan Yuanrang smiled proudly, and then he shook his head regretfully and muttered: "It's such a pity that only two Ning generals were killed, and the other party didn't dare to show his face... General Liang, let’s attack the city quickly!”
Liang Qi smiled slightly and said, "No rush! Our army has just arrived in Fengcheng. General Yuan Rang is not tired, but the soldiers below can't stand it. It's not too late to rest for a while before attacking!"
Shangguan Yuanrang nodded and said: "That's right, I'm fine, but the brothers below may not be fine."
When Liang Qi was talking to Shangguan Yuanrang, he was constantly thinking about ways to defeat the enemy. The Sanshui Army he led only had one hundred thousand, and if one died, one would be missing. If he wanted to advance in the next step, To make a difference, casualties must be reduced at this time. It is said in the art of war that a city can be attacked by force three times as many times as the enemy. Our current strength is 100,000, and the enemy is also 100,000. A force attack will definitely not work. How can we capture Fengcheng without suffering much loss? Liang Qi started thinking at this time, his eyes turned around, and finally fell back on Shangguan Yuanrang.
If you want to defeat the enemy, you must lure them out of the city. Now that the enemy knows that Yuan Rang is in the army, they will never dare to leave the city... Thinking of this, Liang Qi rushed to Shangguan Yuan Rang and smiled and said: "General Yuan Rang, I have a plan and I need your help. Cooperate!"
"Ah?" Shangguan Yuanrang was startled and said, "What do you need my cooperation for?"
Liang Qi approached Shangguan Yuanrang with a smile and whispered in his ear.
At first Shangguan Yuanrang nodded excitedly, but after a while, his face darkened and he shouted angrily: "I am the majestic General of Feng Kingdom, how can I be harmed by the hands of rats?"
Liang Qi said seriously: "If we don't do this, how can Ning's army leave the city to fight? If the enemy defends, it will be difficult for our army to win. For the sake of the overall situation, won't General Yuan Rang be willing to sacrifice? As long as the enemy leaves the city..." As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer, and Shangguan Yuanrang's expression gradually softened.
After Liang Qi finished speaking, Shangguan Yuanrang gave him a strange look, took a deep breath, and said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll listen to you again, but this time don't hurt me again!"
