Chapter 1139 Guarding Battle of Shaanxi Guoguan (Part [-])

The sudden rain of arrows made the Legion of the Living Dead feel at a loss.

You know, after such a long time, they all know exactly what is going on in Shaanxi Guan.

Nowadays, let alone arrows in the city, even thicker wood is probably used to make city defense equipment.

The other party suddenly showed no respect for martial arts and took the lead in using a crossbow, which really made the commander of the Living Dead Legion angry.

So, without any hesitation, he directly ordered the Legion of the Living Dead to retreat.

Then twenty artillery pieces were mobilized and began to bombard Shaanxi Guanguan.

Originally he had not planned to do this.

After all, every cannonball falling means that the amount of food today is reduced.

Moreover, there was not much inventory in the camp. If the opponent's arrow rain hadn't been so dense this time that they couldn't move forward, it's hard to say that he wouldn't have wasted these shells.

The sound of cannons sounded, immediately alerting Chu Xiang and Li Shimin and his party in the city.

As soon as Chu Xiang heard the sound of cannons, he sent someone to inquire.

When she learned that a large number of crossbowmen suddenly appeared in Shaanxi Temple, hindering today's plan to obtain food.

Upon hearing that the attack was blocked and that local reinforcements were suspected to have appeared in the city, Chu Xiang immediately began to adjust his arrangements without saying a word.

Directly equip the Army of the Living Dead with firearms and let them test the quality of these reinforcements first.

In the Shaanxi Guan, Li Shimin, who was just about to take a rest, jumped out of bed in fright after hearing the sound of cannons, and then hurriedly began to send people to the city gate to find out information.

As for Li Ji, he was also startled when he heard the sound of cannons.

He thought that Chu Xiang's side was the same as his own, and reinforcements must have come.

Immediately, he did not dare to delay, and directly took the soldiers who had just withdrawn from the city wall and had not gone far, and rushed to the city tower again.

Qin Qiong, on the other hand, started to pay attention to the trends on the battlefield after scaring off the legion of the living dead.

He would not have thought that the army that could besiege and attack Shaanxi Guoguan several times would be scared off by a mere wave of arrows.

Just when he was thinking about what methods the enemy would use to break through his arrow rain, the opponent's attack came.

But when the first artillery fire exploded on the city wall of Shaanxi Guoguan, he was completely stunned.

He didn't expect that the other party also had firearms, and judging from this posture, he was even far superior to his own.

Looking at the trembling soldiers around him who were wearing bright swords and holding strong bows and crossbows, Qin Qiong was a little stunned. This war seemed not as simple as he imagined.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Qiong began to search for the location of the enemy's artillery on the city wall, hoping to catch it by surprise and send someone to capture it directly.

But after checking for a long time, except for the dense explosions, which were like thunder, there was basically nothing gained.

After about a stick of incense, finally, the sound of cannons that made people's eardrums hurt stopped.

Just when Qin Qiong thought that the opponent's attack was over, an anxious Li Ji found the opponent and ordered everyone to hide, avoid the shells, and not come out for the time being.

Just when Qin Qiong was at a loss and the soldiers around him who had not received any instructions were like headless flies, the second round of shelling came.

This kind of second round of bombardment after a while is a routine operation of the Living Dead Legion.

The purpose is to give those new recruits a hard time.

When they thought the bombardment was over and walked out of the bunker, they suddenly launched a second wave of bombardment, causing huge damage.

Sure enough, this trick worked again today.

Although Li Ji had already sent people to hide the new reinforcements in bunkers, they were not allowed to act at will without orders.

However, out of curiosity and the spirit of newborn calves not afraid of tigers, only a few people followed the veterans' instructions and hid in the bunker without coming out.

And more, when they saw other companions coming out, they also came out of the bunker together.

In this way, the second wave of bombardment once again caused great damage to the support army brought by Qin Qiong.

Seeing that his new teammates were not doing their best, Li Ji had no choice but to take over the command from Qin Qiong again and let the soldiers return to the bunker. They were not allowed to move without orders.

And he sent out an observation post to carefully observe the battlefield, waiting for the Legion of the Living Dead to attack again.

After all, no one can tell whether the other person will cheat on him or her a second time.

This time, the soldiers were very obedient and did not come out of the bunker, but hid carefully.

Finally, the sound of shelling stopped, and a large number of living dead appeared one after another on the distant horizon.

"Ready to fight!!!"

Following Li Ji's order, the soldiers hiding in the bunker slowly walked out of their hiding places.

Seeing the army of the living dead approaching quickly, Li Ji and Qin Qiong's expressions gradually became serious.

But just when the opponent was about to get within the range of his own bow and arrow, another change occurred.

As a series of roars came, the faces of the two people became ugly at the same time:

"Enemy attack, shelling!! Hide quickly!!!"

One after another roars instantly floated on the city wall.

However, as the shouts fell, freshly fired cannonballs also exploded on Shaanxiguan City.

Watching the fresh lives passing by before his eyes, watching the energetic bodies turning into a pile of flesh in front of him, Qin Qiong finally realized how wrong his previous thoughts were.

And he gradually realized that it was not unreasonable for the other party to be able to force His Majesty the Emperor and Li Ji to stay here.

Thinking of this, he felt faintly uneasy in his heart, and he also had a pessimistic attitude about whether he could hold on to Shaanxi Guan.

After the third round of bombardment was completed, the Legion of the Living Dead, which had previously been out of the range of the crossbows, was quickly approaching the city wall.

Qin Qiong and Li Ji no longer needed to issue orders. The soldiers on the city wall began to bend their bows and arrows, select their targets and start shooting.

However, before the first round of arrow rain had even taken shape, sparse sounds of firecrackers rang out from under the city wall.

Then, the sound gradually became denser.

With a bang, a bullet hit the city wall in front of Qin Qiong.

Looking at the bricks that had been beaten away by a small piece, Qin Qiong secretly sighed.

Fortunately, the gun didn't hit him. Otherwise, would he have been able to withstand such a blow?

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the enemy troops under the city, suddenly, the gunshots in his ears stopped.

Then, round after round, neat and dense gunshots rang in my ears.

What shocked Qin Qiong even more was that the soldiers beside him who poked their heads out to check the situation were all killed by headshots without exception.
