It was dawn.
Suddenly, the sound of drums shook the sky.
Xu Cheng gently pushed Xuanyuan Qingchu away from his arms. She frowned and woke up.
"The enemy is probably here." Xu Cheng got up.
"Wait a moment." Xuanyuan Qing's body was curvy.
She took out a golden soft armor from a box and handed it to Xu Cheng."This is a treasure left behind by my Xuanyuan family's ancestors. It's impenetrable. Legend has it that even the sword armor couldn't cut through it back then.”
That was truly a treasure.
Xu Cheng put it on without hesitation.
When he left the room, Ah Qing was already waiting for him. The two of them rushed straight to the Jingzhou City Tower.
The generals were already there.
Outside the city, under the early morning sunlight, the armor was dense.
Iron clothes and weapons reflected a cold light under the sunlight.
What the f * ck, 100,000? At least 150,000 soldiers.
The hooves of the horses were like thunder, and the horses neighed.
The other party stopped at the best position to attack. With a roar, it seemed to shake the world.
This was Xu Cheng's first time on the battlefield. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The Jingzhou Army on the city tower was already on standby.
Pei Yuanqing, Chen Baxian, Ah Qing, and the other generals stood beside him.
"Lend me a knife later." Xu Cheng smiled.
Pei Yuanqing hesitated for a moment." Actually, the prince only needs to appear on the city wall. There's no need to take the risk."”
Xu Cheng shook his head." Commander, I can't interfere. I can still kill the enemy." My brothers are all fighting with their lives on the line. Am I supposed to stand here and pretend to be an expert?”
Chen Baxian liked hearing this, unlike some old generals who didn't have the habit of putting on airs.
He untied his saber and handed it to Xu Cheng."Prince, this subordinate will lend you this saber.”
Xu Cheng took it and smiled." A saber is still useful on the battlefield. It's very efficient when it comes to chopping heads."”
Everyone laughed.
Xu Yi had once said that it was actually easy to gain the trust of the Yan Bei army. It was to make them feel that they were with them.
Xu Cheng roughly knew what he meant.
If you want someone to risk their life, you have to exchange it with your heart.
In the distance, the enemy troops began to get into formation, and dozens of large catapults were pushed into position.
"The one wearing the golden armor is Yuwen Cheng, right?”Xu Cheng pointed.
That person rode a yellow horse that was said to be able to travel thousands of miles in a day. He held a phoenix wing that was gilded with gold and looked mighty and domineering.
Pei Yuanqing nodded." That's right. The one on his left with a purple jade face is Wu Yunzhao. The one on his right with a red face and yellow beard is Wu Tianxi."”
"What realm are they at?" Xu Cheng asked.
"I'm not sure about the specifics. You know that cultivation realm doesn't equal battle prowess.”Pei Yuanqing said," These few people are definitely Rank One. I'm sure that they can kill ordinary Mahayana Realm experts.”
Yuwen Cheng raised his arm and smashed down.
A majestic horn sounded.
The black flood of armor sped up and charged forward.
The catapults fired in an orderly manner. It was truly frightening. They were like flowing flames that filled the sky. They whistled and smashed into the city wall, causing the earth to tremble and the mountains to shake.
The Jingzhou Army was as steady as Mount Tai. They were waiting for the infantry to approach.
The battle began!
Xu Cheng glanced at the 10,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry behind him. Pei Yuanqing meant that when the enemy was exhausted, the Snowy Dragon Cavalry would charge out and completely destroy the enemy.
In his plan, the enemy had 150,000 troops, far more than us.
The defending army had to endure at least three rounds of attacks before the Snow Dragon Cavalry could come out.
Xu Cheng finally experienced the cruelty of cold weapons.
The enemy relied on their powerful catapults to continuously shoot arrows, coupled with their crossbows, and their huge advantage in numbers to crazily attack.
The two sides fought fiercely for an entire day!
In the evening, the enemy troops attacked the city walls.
At that moment, Xu Cheng panicked when he saw the enemy troops rushing up the siege ladder without fear of death. Was the city going to fall?
Pei Yuanqing said calmly.
Each commandant on the city gate tower led their own troops to defend. If the enemy attacked the city wall and did not repel the enemy within an incense stick's time and needed reinforcements, the commandant would be relieved of his post and the deputy commandant would take over.
Xu Cheng swung his saber and killed the enemy at the largest gap. His body was covered in blood, and he finally killed all 400 enemies who had attacked the upper city wall.
The commandant was a fierce fatty with a pair of small eyes. He bowed heavily to Xu Cheng."Prince, if you didn't join us, this subordinate wouldn't have been able to repel the enemy's attack. This subordinate should be dismissed and become an ordinary soldier.”
Xu Cheng knew his name, Chu Dashan. He pulled him up."Commandant Chu, General Pei did not send reinforcements. It was you and your brothers who repelled the enemy. As for me, I'm not under General Pei's command. I can go wherever I want.”
"This subordinate will definitely defend the city gate tower to the death!" Chu Dashan was delighted.”
Xu Cheng looked left and right. In less than the time for an incense stick to burn, the enemy troops that had attacked the city were all suppressed.
However, the defenders suffered heavy losses, leaving a pile of corpses on the city gate tower.
Two commandants died in battle, and they didn't ask for reinforcements even in death.
This was the courage and unyielding spirit of the Yan Bei army. They dared to fight and fight, and they dared to die!
Under the blood-red sunset, the enemy finally retreated.
Retreat fifty miles and set up camp.
Xu Cheng looked at the horse path on the city wall. Everyone was moving the corpses.
As long as ordinary people were not sick or in trouble, they would only be able to lie in their coffins for fifty to sixty years.
But here, one might die in the next moment without a coffin to lie in.
