Chapter 941: Defenders
Huang Yuchen and Zhuang Lexian are relatively hidden, and are far away from the place where Shi Fei set up camp, so there is no need to worry about scouts coming to investigate.
As for the twenty living people, their hidden abilities are stronger than Huang Yuchen imagined, especially in such jungle-covered areas, so there is no need to worry.
After passing the body found before, the division flying troops paused for a moment.
But in the end, Shi Fei decided to continue the attack. Although Yifeng City seemed to be an empty city, Shi Fei was unmoved and everything was carried out according to normal procedures.
Obviously, the plan of the Yifeng City guards seemed to have failed. Shi Fei did not hesitate and immediately began to cut down the thick trees around him and prepare engineering equipment after he set up camp.
He did not treat Yifeng City as an empty city at all, but did his best.
Seeing this, Huang Yuchen also frowned slightly, and even he underestimated Shi Fei's determination.
In Huang Yuchen's view, if there is a turmoil in his heart when encountering such a situation, it will inevitably affect the action steps of the entire army.
However, Shi Fei did not hesitate at all, which proved that Yifeng City was very important to him, and even exceeded Huang Yuchen's expectations.
"Look, your deduction has no result." Zhuang Lexian looked at Huang Yuchen gloated and said, "They didn't wait at all, so they started to attack the city."
Huang Yuchen looked at Zhuang Lexian and smiled and said, "He has been delayed for a day on his way, and I guess he has figured it out."
"Yifeng City is a major transportation route, and the Xiwang Mansion cannot give up, so he did not regard this place as an empty city at all. Moreover, these equipments were still used after occupying Yifeng City."
"I think you are just a stubborn duck. You are obviously not guessing correctly, so you insist on finding some excuses." Zhuang Lexian sneered: "I think you are thinking too much."
"Just think I'm overthinking." Huang Yuchen smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, this division has flew and is ready to attack the city. We just need to wait for him to attack."
"You can't calculate the next thing wrong, right?" Zhuang Lexian looked at Huang Yuchen and asked solemnly: "If you calculate it wrong, we will go in all at once, and the entire army will be destroyed."
"Unless his master is following the Venerable." Huang Yuchen said lightly: "If not, is an ordinary martial artist your opponent?"
"The martial arts master said nothing." Zhuang Lexian reached out and scratched his chin, saying, "I'm just afraid that you would have calculated the wrong thing. By then, they won't be able to take them all at once."
"I am not a god's calculator, I can predict the future." Huang Yuchen gave Zhuang Lexian a blank look and said, "At this time, it's all up to you."
Zhuang Lexian was speechless. He lay in the snow and looked at the dark sky, not knowing what to think about.
But now Huang Yuchen's mind was moving rapidly, ready to seize the opportunity and give Shi Fei a fatal blow.
...
The next morning, all the siege weapons were made.
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Shi Fei's tent were also assembled, and about 5,000 front troops were ready to go. In front of them was the lifeless Yifeng City.
The entire army sent a message that Yifeng City was not an empty city at all, but this was their first attack on such a city and they could not obtain any information in the city.
In the cold wind, there was no one on the walls of Yifeng City, and it was like an empty city.
From the time Huang Yuchen and his friends arrived here, the gate of Yifeng City had never been opened and no sound had ever been heard. If Zhuang Lexian had not been to see it before, Huang Yuchen would have thought that this was an empty city.
The same was true for the soldiers under Shi Fei's troops. Although Shi Fei was facing a great enemy, he began to seize the time to build siege equipment as soon as he arrived near Yifeng City.
But his soldiers did not agree with it, and did not know why the Chief Shi Fei acted like this.
Isn’t it enough to just open the city gate in such an empty city? As for how it is like facing a great enemy?
The siege cars and the city tower were all pushed to the forefront of the team, and the team was filled with a terrifying and killing spirit.
Suddenly, the sound of war drums sounded like the city tower, driven by a group of soldiers, slowly moved towards the direction of the city wall, and the same was true for the siege cars.
The first row of big shield soldiers stepped forward and raised their shields towards the direction of the city wall.
This series of movements is the regular training they receive.
Although these soldiers followed military orders, they did not agree with the battle.
Because, until the city tower reached only ten steps away from the city wall, there was no movement on the city wall.
This place is really an empty city.
The siege car approached the city gate, and with the loud shouts of the soldiers, the huge siege equipment began to shake the city gate.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
The sounds broke the tranquility of the cold day.
A bird was awakened, flew up in the distant woods, and flew into the distant sky.
At this moment, the Tucheng Tower also pushed it closer, until the beam on the Tucheng Tower fell and the soldiers who climbed up the Tucheng Tower did not see an enemy.
The first soldier walked out of the city tower and jumped onto the city wall. He turned around happily and shouted to his comrades behind him: "This is an empty city, come up quickly!"
When the soldiers behind heard this, they immediately started to move forward. Soon, many soldiers climbed onto the walls of Yifeng City and inserted their Mingyuan City flags directly onto the walls of Yifeng City.
Huang Yuchen looked at it in the distance and frowned.
He turned around and looked at Zhuang Lexian and immediately asked, "Didn't you say that there are people on the city wall?"
"Yes, it's all people, but there's no outside." Zhuang Lexian glared and said, "You asked me if there was anyone inside, and I told you too."
"What does it mean?" Huang Yuchen was stunned.
And at this moment, the gate of Yifeng City was overwhelmed and finally shattered under repeated impacts.
The sergeant who controlled the siege car stepped forward and saw the situation inside through the broken wooden door.
There is more than one city gate in Yifeng City, and there is one behind the broken city gate.
Just when he was about to report back.
Suddenly, a cold arrow pierced straight into his throat. It was not until the soldier died that he saw a pair of cold eyes behind the broken city gate.
At the same time, many soldiers who climbed the city wall suddenly felt their feet fall and fell down.
There were many traps set up on the city wall. For a moment, hundreds of soldiers who climbed the city wall lost their focus and fell directly into the trap.
And what awaits them below is a cold weapon.
In an instant, the first wave of soldiers who rushed up the city wall, almost all of them fell into the trap, and they were immediately killed by you, the hidden Yifeng City.
In terms of the city wall, cold arrows shot out directly from the damaged city gate, killing all the soldiers who controlled the rushing city cars.
After just a few breaths, the soldiers of Mingyuan City who climbed the city wall were completely destroyed.
During this process, you can only hear a wave of miserable shouts, but you can't hear a shout at all.
Shi Fei, who was standing in the distance to supervise the battle, immediately frowned. He was far away, and the screams from the direction of Yifeng City were all in the trap, and he could not hear them.
No news came from the city wall, he could only look at Yifeng City in the distance, and was anxious.
"Report!"
A voice shouted, and then a sergeant ran in from outside, knelt straight in the tent, and said, "City Lord, I don't know what happened on the city wall. The sergeant we attacked will be destroyed!"
"What?"
"The siege car broke through the city gate, but all the soldiers who pushed the siege car died! "
"Hasn't the Tucheng Tower been up? Where are the people?"
"Even if there are enemies, there should be a shout of killing. Why can't you hear anything?"
Shi Fei immediately became anxious. He had never fought such a strange battle, but the enemy had not seen it yet, but he had lost so many soldiers.
"Report to the city lord, a scream came from the city wall. Listen to the sound..."
"What's wrong with the sound?" Shi Fei immediately glared.
The messenger swallowed and said, "Listen to the sound, it seems to be coming from the city wall!"
"Inside the city wall?" Shi Fei immediately frowned.
"City Lord, can these defenders of Yifeng City be hidden in the city wall?" A general standing by said.
"They just waited for us to climb the wall, and then suddenly attacked, making the attacking sergeants careless, and thus defeated us for a while!"
"Damn it, these beasts from the Western King's Mansion can only play with these yin people!"
The dissatisfied voices of many generals immediately came from the tent, and Shi Fei's brows frowned even tighter.
"If you pass the order, the enemy may be ambushed in the city wall, so that the second wave of soldiers who are going up should be careful. It is best to hold a torch. If you see an abnormality, set it on fire!"
"Ode to the Lord!" The messenger took the order and rushed away immediately.
After the messenger left, Shi Fei looked at the other generals and said, "Their doing so proves that the defenders in the city are insufficient, and the front is impossible for us to compete with the front."
"The scout corpses we saw before and the moves they have now made to defend the city have only one purpose."
"That is to delay our siege and give their troops time to react. We cannot be fooled by them, and we must take down the city in one go!"
Shi Fei quickly explained his analysis, and I have to say that what he analyzed was still very reasonable.
Yifeng City is located in a major transportation route and is one of the only two channels connecting the entire Chihong Mountain area with the outside world. Taking Yifeng City, his Shifei will gain control of the entire Chihong Mountain area.
He understood this truth, and his generals naturally knew it.
"What the city lord said is! I'll go to supervise the battle myself!" A general stepped forward, rushed Shi Fei with his hands clasped his fists, then turned straight and went to the battlefield ahead to supervise the battle.
"What the city lord said is that we can't take a small Yifeng City for 30,000 people. If we fight overnight, they don't have many defenders, so it will definitely be impossible for them to hold it for too long!"
"Even if they have reinforcements, after the city is broken, the reinforcements will have no purpose. If we defend the city tens of thousands of people, we will not be able to easily break it."
Although he lost for a while before, the morale of Shifei's army was still good.
It is mainly because the defenders of Yifeng City used a more sinister method to deliberately let these soldiers climb to the top of the city, and only triggered the mechanism when they were careless.
These soldiers from Mingyuan City were not mentally prepared to fall into the trap and die in a bad life.
In the military camp, drums were beating.
The second attack began again.
After the first team of soldiers died, Yifeng City returned to a dead silence again. Except for the few corpses at the city gate, no other corpses were seen, as if all of these corpses had disappeared.
The soldiers who went up the second team were fully prepared. The soldiers in the first team died inexplicably, and they would no longer think that this was an empty city.
All the soldiers were ready in full swing and slowly climbed onto the city wall.
