The sound of huge war drums resounded through the sky, and the strong wind blew up the sand and dust on the ground. Every drum sound seemed to hit everyone's hearts, and at the same time, they were filled with fear and boundless fighting spirit.
Under the city wall, densely packed heads swarmed in, and the hot blood was sprinkled in the air like heavy red silk.
The wall of the isolated city is eight meters high. The city gate is still strong after repairs, but it cannot withstand long-term impact.
Outside the city, the people from the Snow Country were using their brute force. Hundreds of them pushed open a door. Inside the city, the soldiers from the dark Beidi Country used all their strength to push against the door.
More and more enemy soldiers from the Snow Country are climbing up the city wall along the climbing ladder. Amidst the flash of swords and shadows, the snow stains the blue bricks.
Wei Ming drew his bow and shot an arrow, but failed to hit Usakana, who was riding a horse in the crowd to kill Beidi soldiers.
The city is about to be destroyed. Although Wei Ming has long been prepared to withdraw from the isolated city and withdraw his troops to Qiaocheng, the Snow Country army is so fierce. How long can Qiaocheng hold on?
How could the lives of tens of thousands of people in the isolated city be given up so easily? If one more Snow Country soldier was killed, the opponent's strength would be weakened. When King Che's rescue arrived, the chance of defeating the enemy would be even greater.
Usakana laughed out loud as he looked at the gradually chaotic scene on the city wall.
The city gate gradually opened a gap, and the spear head pierced through the gap one after another, and inserted into the throat of the Beidi soldier.
Captain Qi Heng shouted to Wei Ming: "General."
It is time to break out and withdraw the troops at this time, otherwise the 230,000 troops will surely die in the isolated city, and the Beidi Kingdom will no longer have the strength to counterattack the Snow Kingdom army.
Wei Ming looked back at the deserted street behind him. The people were hiding in their homes out of fear. Once the troops were withdrawn, this place would become a city of blood.
"If you don't retreat, I will fight until the last moment." Wei Ming walked along the ladder, kicked the enemy troops climbing up, flew down, and pointed his long sword at Usakana.
The front legs of the army horse beneath him were chopped off by Wei Ming, and Usakana's long sword turned around and cut off the red feathers on Wei Ming's helmet.
During the fierce fight between the two, the long knife slashed across Wei Ming's right arm and left chest.
The happier Usakana smiled, the harder he used his hands, "I have long heard that the general Zhenguo of Beidi Kingdom is the most outstanding general besides King Che Li Junche. It's a pity that you will become my prince's sword today. "The soul of the dead."
"Pfft." The blade split open the armor and penetrated three points into the chest.
Wei Ming's sword left a blood mark on Usakana's arm. At this moment, neither party seemed to feel the pain or consciousness.
"It's a pity that no matter how powerful General Wei is, he only has weak soldiers. An army of 230,000 can't stand up to the mighty soldiers of our Snow Country." The city gate was broken open, and several people rushed in with shouts.
"Boom."
"Boom."
Under the city wall, a few meters away, among the enemy troops, black and gray objects fell from the sky, making huge explosions.
The western limb splattered in all directions to the west, carrying charred flesh and blood and still-beating blood vessels.
The sudden accident made the Snow Nation army who were about to enter the city unable to react. They looked up to the sky, feeling a little scared in their hearts.
For the people of Snow Country, the status of gods is the most noble.
With no resistance left, Qi Heng immediately asked people to close the broken city gate again, and the enemy soldiers from the Snow Kingdom who had entered the city were quickly killed.
High in the sky, dozens of hot air balloons were floating there.
Yan Nantian stared at those who were lighting the fuse and jumped anxiously, "Let me come, let me try."
He Shi stared at him and said, "You are not trained. If you blow up into the city wall, you will kill one of our own people."
Yan Nantian felt itchy and unbearable. If he had gunpowder, the Guifu Gate would not have been destroyed by Wen Xinhou and his troops.
"Don't worry, I'm absolutely sure." Yan Nantian grabbed the gunpowder from a soldier's hand, lit the fuse and threw it heavily.
As a result, the city wall was not blown up, but there was no one where it landed.
He Shi shouted angrily: "Please stop causing trouble."
Yan Nantian stared at his hands. When he was a master thief, he had taken many expensive things with these hands. Why was he not allowed to do so now?
Wei Ming looked at the raging scenes of war in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and did not bother to fight with Usakana. He was outside and would be blown to death if he was not careful.
He immediately returned to the city along the ladder, and then kicked the ladder down.
Usakana looked at the hot air balloon floating in the sky. Could it be that Beidi Kingdom is also protected by gods?
As more and more people were killed in the bombing, Usakana had to order the withdrawal of troops and returned to Yuebei City.
At this moment, there are only 100,000 left in the 200,000-strong army.
After the scene calmed down, the defenders inside the city and on the city wall looked up and stared at the hot air balloon floating in the sky. Through the telescope, they could clearly see someone on it.
It can actually fly.
The wounds on Wei Ming's body were still bleeding, but he didn't bother to bandage them.
The hot air balloon landed on the main road in the isolated city. He Shi and others got off, "General Wei, we are here to help following the order of Princess Che."
Wei Ming and others gathered around the hot air balloon with curiosity in their eyes. How did this thing fly into the sky? How can we land accurately? "What is this?"
He Shi replied: "This is a hot air balloon made by the princess, which can carry people flying in the air."
"What about that powerful thing just now?" Wei Ming was stunned.
He Shi: "That's the gunpowder made by the princess in Nancheng."
Wei Ming's eyebrows twitched, "Are these the only people here?" There were less than fifty people in front of him.
He Shi shook his head, "There are fifty more people who will arrive around midnight, and they will cross the river in boats."
Wei Ming felt a stabbing pain in his chest and his arms began to feel weak. Qi Heng quickly called the military doctor.
Wei Ming first thought that King Che was worried about Wen Jinhe, so he hid his troops in Nancheng.
The letter at that time was alluding to the fact that if he was defeated by the Snow Country army, he could ask Princess Che for help.
At that time, King Che's people will naturally send troops to help.
Unexpectedly, he guessed wrong from beginning to end. He didn't need much troops at all. The gunpowder in Princess Che's hand was enough to restrain the enemy.
Wei Ming stared at He Shi hesitantly, "It's so far from Nancheng to Yuebei City. When did you set off? Can this hot air balloon be so fast?"
Even if it's floating in the air, it won't arrive in time.
He Shi smiled and shook his head, "We are not from Nancheng. The princess asked us to wait for news in Yunbeicheng in advance."
Even when Wei Ming was bandaging, he didn't let He Shi go. He kept asking questions. He really had too many questions in his heart.
He Shi looked at Wei Ming with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes: "The General Zhenguo should understand the meaning of the letter for help you wrote to our princess, right?"
Wei Ming's body froze, and Xu Souhou nodded lightly, "Even if I don't express my position, with the abilities of Princess Che and Prince Che, it will be easy to conquer this world."
He Shi: "It is easy to conquer the world but difficult to defend it. If we only relied on force to deal with the affairs of the court, our prince would not have waited until now."
"His Royal Highness King Heng was captured by Usakana. Now I don't know whether he is dead or alive." Wei Ming made a fist and looked at He Shi with a frown and said.
Usakana was defeated and lost half of its army. Maybe he would kill Li Yuheng to vent his anger after returning to Yuebei City.
