when the wind and cloud cry

Chapter 122: Qi Shan’s Surprise Change (33)

These soldiers blocked the spacious street, and Da Ke and other Qijue Hall disciples immediately went up to them.

"kill!"

There was another loud cry of killing, and everyone's complexion changed drastically. They saw a large number of people coming out from behind, armed with shields and simple knives, attacking from both sides.

As soon as Fairy Jiuying flicked her sleeves, a gust of true energy swayed out. Where the strong wind picked up, it immediately knocked down a large group of simple swordsmen, and the ones behind were blocked.

Ouye Liuyun saw that the city was full of torches, the houses were full of archers, and the streets were crowded with soldiers. If Yukong rushed forward, he would definitely become a living target for the archers. Sure.

If we break out from the ground, it will be like a tiger among a pack of wolves and an ox in the sea.

Although these soldiers are inferior to the disciples of the Floating Life Pavilion, even a master of his level can't help feeling powerless with such a large number.

20 heavy soldiers surrounded and killed 25 martial arts masters, and the killing sound shook the sky!
Qishan Prefecture City.

Forty thousand dragon-riding and wind-banner soldiers lined up below the city. Against the backdrop of torches, golden armor and golden spears stretched from a hundred feet away from the city wall to the woods a thousand feet away.

The soldiers rushed to help here, but they were blocked under the towering and tall city wall.

Suddenly, a group of cavalry rushed from the woods, led by a beautiful woman with a green feather cloak flying behind her, and a pair of bright and beautiful eyes were revealed in the tulle mask.

The person who came was none other than Xiyue Diji who was personally in command.

Si Yu rushed all the way, followed by Zichen Feixuan and ten thousand wind riders and drove straight into the position, just filling the gap in the middle.

When Li Duhu heard that the Great Emperor Ji had arrived, he personally led thirty cavalry captains to greet him, and said: "His Highness the Great Emperor Ji, this city is more than fifty feet high, and the Leishi Gun carried by our army has been used to attack Kunlun Guan, the current situation in the city is unknown, and the general will not dare to attack the city rashly!"

"What Li Duhu said is absolutely true. The situation is not good for our army. It is right to stand still when the troops approach the city!"

Si Yu looked up at the city gate, and saw that there were layers of archers on the city wall, which could not be compared with the situation when she rushed out before.

She said to Li Duhu: "Besides, this is the only force we have at the moment. Siege is not the goal, saving people is the key!"

After saying that, before Si Yu led her horse to the army formation, shield soldiers immediately formed a shield wall in front of her to prevent cold arrows from the city wall from hurting people.

Concubine Zichen also led Ma to stand next to Si Yu, staring at the high wall, worried about her master.

Si Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Sister Xuan'er, guess how many people there should be in this city right now?"

Zichen Feixuan said without thinking: "When we rushed out, there were five thousand elite soldiers inside the city gate. Now there are at least tens of thousands of them, right?"

Siyu said: "More than that, Qishan Prefecture City is the place where the imperial capital of Yi State is located. It is not inferior to our Yujing City in Daxuan. The city defense force should be one hundred thousand. If the King of Qi implements this treacherous plan, the force will be doubled." Increase, we broke through in time, but their troop mobilization failed to fully unfold. I assert that there should be at least 20 troops, plus [-] imperial guards. At this moment, it is an iron wall. If we cannot break through the city gate, they are It’s impossible to break out!”

"What can you do?" Concubine Zichen asked worriedly.

Siyu sighed softly: "The enemy's troops are many times more powerful than ours. They are waiting for work and their defenses are impeccable. However, our army has lost morale after running for a long distance with light cavalry. Going deep alone is a dangerous way for a surprise army. Without logistical supplies, it will be even more dangerous." Big taboo, let’s not say that there is no heavy siege equipment at this moment. Even if there is siege equipment, there is no infantry coordination. Even if there is infantry coordination, a strong attack will be carried out with eggs hitting stones. Even if the city gate is conquered, I am afraid it will not be possible in three or two days. , even if we can capture it, our troops will be exhausted, and we can’t save others, and we ourselves can’t leave. If we sit here, it will be useless. Instead, we will be surrounded by heavy troops. At this moment, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear... "

After Siyu said that, Zichen Concubine Xuan's face turned pale, and said anxiously: "Yu'er, you have always been resourceful, no matter how dangerous the predicament is, you can't help it, can't you?"

"There will be a way, let Ben Gong think about it!"

For a moment, Siyu smiled again: "Although there are many people, it will inevitably lead to chaos. Since they have closed the city and defended themselves, I will let them chaos!"

In the blink of an eye, Si Yu was staring at Cangluan Ridge, the scene of red fire burning to the sky was quite shocking.

"The direction of the wind has changed!"

Li Duhu stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, do you want to use ten thousand arrows to disrupt the enemy's mind?"

Si Yu said: "There are 20 troops in the city, and these tens of thousands of flags and arrows alone may not be able to shake the hearts of the troops, unless... use fire to attack!"

Li Duhu said: "Our army did not prepare kerosene for this light cavalry raid, but some spirits!"

Si Yu said: "Although strong wine is also a combustion-supporting substance, its ignition point is too low, and it will be extinguished as soon as it is thrown. There is no condition for fire attack!"

The generals were talking about it and couldn't think of a way for a while.

Si Yu's eyes froze, and she said to Li Duhu, "Is there any poison in the army?"

Li Duhu replied: "The scout squad has some highly poisonous arsenic, and there is also some sulfur nitrate, which is used by the soldiers to repel mosquitoes, but there are not many of them!"

Siyu thought about something softly: "Arsenic seals the throat when it sees blood, sulfur and saltpeter burn and pungent..."

She immediately gave a few instructions to Li Duhu, and the old general nodded repeatedly and went to give the order.

After half an hour—

Watching the actions of the Daxuan cavalry below, the guards of the city wall couldn't sit still.

Daxuan officers and soldiers set up twenty stoves in front of the formation, and kept throwing something on the pile of firewood, it didn't look like they were cooking.

At this moment, forgive them, they don't have time to start a fire, right?

The guard said to Suzaku worriedly: "My lord, the general really doesn't understand what these dragon riders want to do, let's take some precautions!"

Suzaku nodded and said, "That girl Xiyue Diji is full of tricks, she really should be on guard, let's double the number of archers, and send more people inside the city gate!"

"Yes! The last general will do it!"

The city guard responded, and hurriedly mobilized troops to go.

Suzaku said with great interest: "Little girl, how big a wave can you make?"

Si Yu was also staring at Suzaku at the moment, smiling openly: "Ugly, you'd better recruit more people, I'm afraid you don't have enough people!"

"Your Highness, everything is ready!" Li Duhu reported.

"Pass this palace order, the whole army retreats into the forest and lights a fire!"

With Si Yu's order, twenty stoves were lit, and clusters of yellow smoke rose immediately, and in a blink of an eye, they floated towards the city wall.

The guard turned pale with fright: "They want to mess with my 20 troops with poisonous smoke!"

White smoke filled the air, covering the entire city in an instant.

The archers guarding the city were in a mess, and the guard shouted hurriedly: "Don't mess up, cough, cough, cough..."
