The Directly Subordinate Army entering the Western Mountain Pass went forward without a hitch, and without any resistance from a single soldier, Tang Yin was also extremely ambitious, and said to the surrounding generals: "Today, our army is going to breach Fengyang City, and take down all of Xishan County within ten days. Although Xishan County is not the goal that we planned beforehand, this county is a prefecture that produces grains from Mo Country. Since they have chased the enemy to this point, they can easily take it down.
"Ha ha-ha!" The generals laughed as they looked up. "The King is wise!"
"Your Majesty overestimates our Mo Army!" Why do you need ten days to take down this county? My Great General of Feng Country Warriors only have to walk a short distance before we can easily take over this county and the leader of the bandits will be taken! "
"Ha ha!" General of Feng Country's bold words caused another wave of laughter.
At this time, a Feng Duan came to report that Shao Jun was requesting an audience. Tang Yin was only slightly startled, and snorted: "A great battle is approaching, why would this scoundrel see me? I won't see you again! " With that, he looked at the generals and asked, "Which general is willing to take the lead and seize the Fengyang?"
"Great King, I am willing to be the vanguard!" Following a loud roar, Zhan Hu stepped out with his hammer and requested to join the battle.
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Li Sheng stepped forward and said: "Killing a chicken will not be easy. General Zhan Hu is our general, a mere Fengyang city, it is enough for me to go! "
Tang Yin laughed leisurely, nodded his head at Li Sheng, and said: "Zhan Hu, you should come with me to suppress the array, and let Li Sheng fight in the first round!"
Li Sheng was the young general selected by the Levy of Soldiers that Tang Yin had announced. Compared to the famous Zhan Hu, he needed more military merits to prove his worth in the army.
Zhan Hu was not stupid, adding the fact that Tang Yin had already said that, he could not force it anymore, so he interjected and said: "I obey!"
Tang Yin sent twenty thousand officers to be the vanguard troops of his side, and took the lead to attack Fengyang.
In the eyes of Tang Yin and the rest of the General of Feng Country, Mo Army had already been scared to the point where they had no guts. There were so many fortresses and checkpoints in the Western Mountain Pass that they did not even have to defend and the defense of their Fengyang City was not that strong either.
But when their Feng Army neared the Fengyang, they were all completely dumbfounded.
The Fengyang was built within the western mountain entrance, on both sides of the mountain, with a city between the two sides. The city wall was over ten meters tall, and that was not even much, what was even worse was that the western mountain entrance's valley was not directly direct, rather, it was twisted, and just happened to be located about a hundred steps in front of the Fengyang City. It meant that, the Trebuchet s and City-breaking Crossbow s of the Feng Army could not directly attack the west mountain entrance, and in order to attack the defense of the Fengyang, one had to cross this bend, and get within a hundred steps of the other.
After looking at the terrain of the Fengyang, Li Sheng, who was the vanguard, could not help but gasp. What a unique town that was easy to defend and hard to attack.
Seeing Li Sheng's serious face, the two regiment leaders who followed him over asked: "General Li, Fengyang is dangerous, are we still going to fight?"
Li Sheng regained his senses, looked at the two of them angrily, and said: "Even if Fengyang is like a dragon's lagoon or a tiger's den, today, we must take down this city!" After a pause, he shouted, "Send my generals to attack the city!"
Following Li Sheng's order, the Feng Army Camp Drum rang loudly. Inside the valley, the drumbeats became abnormally resonant, and their echoes continued to echo for a long time. At the same time the drum sounded, two groups of Feng Army slowly walked out from the corner, directly rushing towards the Fengyang City in front.
As the defensive side of the city, due to the advantage of height, their range was even further. It could be said that the Feng Army had turned a corner and just as they revealed their heads, they had already entered the range of Fengyang. However, the advancement of Feng Army did not attract any arrows from the Mo Army. Looking at the Fengyang City in the distance, one could only see the shadows of people from the Mo Army.
Li Sheng, who was following the army, was completely confused. He did not understand what was going on. It was reasonable to say that the shooting of the Mo Army should have already begun, but why was it so late? There was not even a shadow of a ghost to be seen, could it be that the Mo Army within the city, knowing that they were no match, had abandoned the city and escaped? If that was the case, it would be boring for him to be the vanguard officer.
Unknowingly, the frontmost Feng Army had neared the fifty steps mark of the Fengyang.
Just at this moment, the people suddenly heard a dull buzzing sound from above them. The Feng Soldier s subconsciously looked up and saw a huge black shadow descending from the sky. Before they could figure out what it was, the huge black shadow had already pressed down onto their Feng Army Camp.
The three Feng Soldier s who were hit by the black shadow did not even make a sound, as they instantly turned into mincemeat on the spot, and a large area of blood shot out. It was only at this time, that everyone could clearly see that a huge round boulder had fallen from the sky.
Borrowing the momentum from the descent of the boulder, as well as the gentle slope outside the Fengyang City, the boulder continued to roll forward. Feng Soldier who was standing in front of the boulder wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
This was only the beginning. Along with waves of buzzing sounds, Fengyang City s continuously rose up many round boulders, flew over the city walls, and fiercely smashed towards Feng Army Camp s. Not only that, Fengyang City heads whistled in all directions, standing up countless of Mo Army s, and aimed at the outside of the city as arrows shot out in all directions.
In just an instant, the Feng Army Camp of the two legions were beaten into a mess, and the giant boulders that descended from the sky blossomed from the Feng Army Camp, ruthlessly crushing Feng Soldier. The people had finally avoided the giant rocks that rolled towards them, and were shot by the dense arrows.
The entire camp was filled with corpses of hedgehogs and severed limbs that had been crushed into a bloody mess. The wails and screams of the people rose one after another, looking extremely miserable.
Crap! Mo Army did not abandon the city, but instead, they were already prepared for their own attacks! Li Sheng immediately made a call to the arrows to dodge the Drop Stone and passed down the orders, "All troops to get into formation, shoot the arrows back! Then, get the troops behind us to move all the Trebuchet up here and smash the defenses of the Fengyang! "
His words were easy, but how could Feng Army arrange a formation?
Once it was smashed into the ground, the Feng Soldier, along with her shield, would be flattened. The most important point of the formation was to maintain the integrity of the formation, with the appearance of a loophole, it was possible for one to suffer the enemy's concentrated arrows. Furthermore, under the attack of the huge rocks, Feng Army Camp was full of loopholes, and the concentrated Feng Army would only become the target of the city's Mo Army.
Without even waiting for the Feng Army to be shot by the Trebuchet, the surrounding Feng Soldier s were first killed cleanly by the people around them. Moreover, there were a large number of rockets that landed on the shelves of the Trebuchet and City-breaking Crossbow, as long as a few arrows were shot from them, a Trebuchet or City-breaking Crossbow would be burnt to ashes in the blink of an eye. It was impossible for the Feng Soldier to even try to take care of the Arrow Rain.0
Under Li Sheng's lead, the two legions of Directly Subordinate Army, that could not release any attack on the Fengyang, that could even protect themselves, became a problem. Under such a situation, if it were any other person who had already ordered the withdrawal of their troops, this battle would simply not last, but Li Sheng was not willing to accept it, it was not easy for him to find a chance to build his career, if he could not even reach the edge of the city, then how could he have the face to report back to the King?
At the most critical moment, Li Sheng suddenly formed a death squadron and personally led a dozen over Spirit Cultivator s and a thousand over Feng Army elites to attack the Fengyang City, planning to forcefully tear a hole in the opponent's defense line.
With one hand holding a shield and the other holding a blade and sword, they charged forward while constantly dodging the falling boulders and arrows.
Very quickly, the Mo Army on top of the city wall also discovered this small wave of Feng Army which was madly rushing forward, and naturally became the target of the concentrated Mo Army.
Above the city walls, the arrows that were flying towards them were as dense as rain drops. Even though the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army had shields in place, from time to time, someone would still fall to the ground from the arrows, and in that case, once they fell, they would never be able to get back up.
What a fierce arrow! Li Sheng exclaimed inwardly as he charged. How could this be the Mo Army that his side encountered two or three days ago? It was simply the regular Central Army of a nation! The oncoming Arrow Rain didn't give him much energy to think about it. At this time, he wholeheartedly wanted to rush under the Fengyang City, then climb up and engage in close combat with the enemy.
Li Sheng's Spirit Force was not bad, but under the continuous shooting, the Spirit Armor on his body could not take it anymore. When he was less than thirty steps away from the Fengyang City, who knew how many times his spirit armor had been hit by the arrows.
He wanted to continue charging forward, but just then, the two Company Leaders following him stepped forward and shouted: "General Li, the enemy's arrows are fierce, we cannot hold on any longer, let's retreat!"
As Li Sheng raised his shield high up, he turned his head and shouted angrily, "You are not allowed to retreat! You guys follow me up to the top of the city walls, and we will kill the enemy! "
"General Li, our brothers are almost all dead. How can we still rush to the city! General Li, let's retreat first! a regimental commander shouted.
Li Sheng looked carefully, behind him, there were only around a hundred people left, corpses littered the ground. Most of the thousand over death squads had been killed by the Mo Army's arrow formations, including the soldiers carrying the ladders.
Aiya! Seeing that, Li Sheng could not help but sigh in his heart, and before he could make a decision to attack or retreat, a sharp arrow shot down and struck his left shoulder.
This arrow became the last straw that the camel had lost, causing the spirit armor on Li Sheng's body to be unable to withstand it any longer. Following a cracking sound, the spirit armor on his left shoulder shattered, and the arrow deeply pierced into his flesh.
