Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Chapter 313 Seize the city!

It is bordered by the heartland of Yujing Central Plains to the north, and by rich mountains to the southwest. It has well-developed water systems on all sides and abundant aquatic products.

Wangjing City is located in a very advantageous location. Even in years of disaster, it can be self-sufficient, so the people live and work in peace and contentment, which provides favorable conditions for the development of commerce.

Since its establishment, Wangjing City has never suffered from war!

So when the local people in Wangjing City saw a large number of soldiers appearing on the streets, they were all stunned and didn't know what was going on.

The traveling merchants were so frightened when they saw this that they hurriedly packed up their things and ran away, running so fast that they wished their parents had not given them two more legs.

It is impossible to conceal the mobilization of the defenders in broad daylight, so they will act after controlling the four city walls, preparing to capture the world-renowned Young Master in one fell swoop!

The eight thousand defenders were divided into eight groups and rushed to the South City market. They were fully armed with crossbows, heavy crossbows, hand crossbows, and longbows!

At the same time, many bandits disguised as civilians appeared from all directions of Wangjing City. They might also be soldiers from other vassal states.

About 4000 people, wearing black scarves on their faces and red cloth on their arms, also fully armed, ran towards the south city from all corners of the city.

Although on the surface Governor Zhang was still the local emperor of Wangjing City, the power had already changed secretly.

This also shows the weaknesses of Governor Zhang and Chen Huaming. They are ignorant of military affairs and cannot even completely control the defenders in the city!

Yao Jun sat on the street in front of the inn with a majestic figure, his red robe as if soaked in blood.

All the hundreds of Four Elephant Cavalry had been recalled, and Yao Jun only issued two orders.

Kill everyone in the inn except Governor Zhang, Chen Huaming, Chen Xi, and Jia Luo!

Swear to defend the inn!

Taking the two-meter-long heavy halberd from Huoyun's back, Yao Jun was filled with murderous intent, and a scarlet spot like two pupils appeared in his eyes.

"Kill anyone who comes near!"

Hundreds of soldiers in black robes and golden armor shouted, "Yes!"

"Send signal!"

In an instant, dozens of flaming arrows shot into the sky.

Yao Jun carried the heavy halberd on his shoulder and walked to one end of the long street. Behind him was the South City Gate, where shouts of killing were deafening.

Boom!

The tightly closed city gate shook violently.

On the top of the city wall, the city officer was hiding under the battlements. He was in a very bad condition at the moment, with a feather arrow stuck in his shoulder.

Pulling over a trusted person beside him, the city officer said coldly: "There is no way out. We must stop the Four Elephant Cavalry outside the city!"

The confidant nodded quickly. He certainly understood that if the thousands of Four Elephant Cavalry outside the city were allowed to rush in, everything would be over!

The city officer's eyes turned red: "I'll leave this to you. I'll call other city guards for support."

The confidant hesitated for a moment, but seeing the bloodshot in the city official's eyes, he nodded heavily.

"Okay! After it's done, I will take credit for you!"

After saying that, the city officer called a few guards, went down the city wall without looking back, and ran towards the east gate.

Outside the city, Ling Xiao stood on the chariot with a cold and arrogant look, looking at the top of the city not far away, and said in a cold voice: "Kerosene!"

As the order was given, a soldier immediately raised a three-meter-long flag and waved it.

Hundreds of cavalrymen instantly rushed out from the formation towards the city gate, their golden armor shining brightly. Each soldier was equipped with two fully armored war horses, and fist-sized earthenware jars were hung on both sides of the saddles.

Forbidden!

The selection criteria for the Four Elephant Riders are beyond imagination, and each has his own duties.

Every arrow shot by the soldiers holding bows and crossbows in front of the battle formation could make the soldiers on the city gates groan in pain and they dared not show their heads easily.

Under their suppression, the hundred riders carrying earthen jars quickly rushed to the city wall, took off the jars and threw them onto the top of the city wall.

Snapped!

The soldiers hiding behind the battlements did not dare to look outside after loading arrows into their crossbows. They just stretched out their crossbows from the battlements and shot without caring whether they hit the enemy or not. It was as if it was a routine matter. It was very ridiculous.

I heard the sound of something breaking next to me. I turned around and saw broken earthenware jars and something black with a bad smell on the ground.

"what is this?"

These soldiers had never experienced war, let alone fighting, and it was even more impossible for them to know what kerosene was, and they had never seen it.

As the earthen jars were thrown up one after another, they soon covered one-third of the city wall. The earthen jars brought by the hundred riders were also used up, and they turned their horses' heads and returned to the rear formation.

Ling Xiao ordered with contempt in his eyes: "Fire!"

There was no need to wave flags this time. Five burly men walked out from the chariot, holding large bows that were as long as a man, and thumb-thick arrows with flames burning on them.

The bow was full like the moon, aimed at the sky above the city wall ahead.

"put!"

After everything was ready, without Ling Xiao's order, the soldiers at the side directly gave the order to shoot.

They are so familiar with this process that once they are given an instruction, they know what to do.

Boom!

There was a slight sound when the bowstring was released, and five flaming arrows flew quickly into the sky after leaving the string. When they reached the highest point, they fell down like flaming meteors.

After the arrow flew out, Ling Xiao gave another order: "Hook rope, rope ladder."

Another new flag was raised and waved, this time with a murderous white tiger engraved on it.

As the flag was waved, the four one-horned rhinos wearing armor in front of the city gate slowly retreated under the control of the golden-armored soldiers and no longer rammed the city gate.

The entire army marched forward in an orderly manner, with three riders running out from each column, carrying grappling hooks and rope ladders.

At this moment, the five flaming arrows had already drawn a graceful parabola and landed on the top of the city.

boom!

When the smelly kerosene came into contact with the flame, it was quickly ignited and then spread rapidly, and a raging fire broke out over one-third of the entire city wall!

There were screams, the smell of burning flesh, and from time to time someone would yell and jump off the city wall from the flames.

On the top of the city wall, the guards who had escaped the disaster were so frightened by the hellish scene before them that they trembled with fear. Their morale plummeted, and some of the timid ones even fainted.

Some people stood up from the battlements in panic, trying to get away or escape, but were hit by the bows and crossbows of the Four Elephant Cavalry below the city, and shot through the head or throat!

The Daji Dynasty was a dynasty that was very particular about etiquette, even on the battlefield.

However, since fifteen years ago, the army of Yao Kingdom no longer cares about war etiquette, and will use any means necessary to win the war.

Although this move was opposed by many nobles in Yujing, because Yaoguo only used these methods externally, the reaction was not so intense and was quickly suppressed by the emperor.

This is the first time it has been used within Daji. Although due to the urgency of the matter, we just used the old routine from a few years ago, but as long as it works, it’s fine.

Ling Xiao raised his head slightly, the feathers on his head fluttering in the wind, and ordered with cold eyes: "Kill those holding sharp blades!"

The white tiger flag was waved again, but the frequency of the wave was different from before.

After the entire army received the order, the military situation changed instantly, and a solemn and cold feeling appeared in everyone's heart.

As the first grappling hook appeared on the top of the wall, and when the first soldier in black clothes and golden armor and a golden face climbed onto the top of the city wall, the killing began!

Woo!

The low sound of the horn seemed to come from an even more distant ancient time.

As more and more golden-armored soldiers appeared on the city walls, the panicked city guards finally thought of giving up resistance. Some surrendered, some fled.

In a very short time, the South Gate was lost and the city gate was opened!

Ling Xiao rode on the chariot, drew the long sword from his waist, and pointed towards Wangjing City.

"Enter the city!"
