Chapter 636: Vermilion Bird's Divine Might
The three men stood on horseback, Su Huan circled and danced in the sky, and the tens of thousands of Xianbei troops were too frightened to take a step forward.
If Priest Quan was still awake at this time, he would definitely order to take back the city gate at all costs, but unfortunately there are not so many ifs in the world.
The only high-ranking member of Dragon City who had a forward-looking vision fell into a coma because of greed and taking credit. The rest either didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, or didn't have the prestige and power to make the army desperately.
The Xianbei army hesitated for a quarter of an hour before launching another attack under the coordination of several senior generals.
However, it was too late!
As soon as the Xianbei army began to counterattack, Guo Biao led two thousand vanguard troops into the city.
Five S-level top military generals, together with two thousand high-level special troops with a minimum of seven ranks, such a luxurious lineup, directly defeated the Xianbei army who was trying to seize the door.
Another half a quarter of an hour later, 20,000 assault troops arrived one after another, and Baiyangmen was completely controlled by the Pingzhou army. The tens of thousands of Xianbei troops nearby were also wiped out by the rushing army.
It was also at this time that Priest Quan woke up leisurely.
Hearing that the other party's 20,000 high-level troops had completely controlled Baiyang City, Priest Quan almost passed out after his eyes went dark.
"Proceed with the order and contact the high priest immediately. All the troops will give up the defense of the outer city and retreat to the inner city. Immediately, immediately issue the Sirius Summoning Order and notify all the tribes that can be notified to immediately support Dragon City!"
"Retreat to the inner city?" Quan Jiji's generals were shocked when they heard this, and looked at Quan Jiji in disbelief.
Retreating to the inner city means giving up the outer city, and most of the entire Dragon City will be handed over to the Han people. In other words, the Han Chinese only dispatched 20,000 troops, and they gave up 80% of the area of Longcheng, which was unacceptable to the Xianbei generals anyway.
"Report, tell Priest Quan that the Han army near Baiyangmen has begun to attack the inner city!"
Just when everyone was hesitating, a Xianbei soldier flew over and shouted loudly.
"How many people are involved in the attack? What's the current battle situation?"
Priest Quan was startled, sat up straight and asked anxiously.
"Except for some of the left behind troops who control the city gate, almost the entire army of the opponent is dispatched, our army...our army..."
"How is our army? Tell me!"
"Our army will collapse at the first touch. The eagle-eyed guards, shaman warriors, and your guards have all been wiped out!"
"Pass down the order, the inner city is on the highest alert, and all troops outside the inner city will withdraw to defend the inner city, and those who do not obey the order will be killed without mercy!" Priest Quan said with bloodshot eyes, hissing angrily.
Although every step of Quan Ji's instructions was correct, Dragon City is too big, and his defenses are too weak!
After 20,000 elite cavalry defeated the Xianbei army at Baiyangmen, leaving 3,000 people guarding the city gate, Shang Ji directly led the army to attack the inner city of Dragon City under the guidance of Feifeng Huoqi!
It took time for Priest Quan to execute every step from issuing orders to starting. When the troops stationed in the outer city really started to move, Shang Ji had already been galloping on the broad streets of Longcheng for a full two quarters of an hour!
In other words, Shang Ji left behind the returning Xianbei army!
From time to time in the city, ordinary Xianbei people took up crude weapons to try to block the Pingzhou army, but the elite Xianbei army was not the opponent of the Pingzhou assault group, let alone these ordinary people who were not even considered militiamen?
Blood flowed all the way, and corpses were everywhere, but it didn't really slow down the speed of the Pingzhou Army.
Half an hour later, the inner city wall of Dragon City appeared in front of Shang Ji.
Although the defenders of the outer city haven't had time to return to their defense yet, the defenders of the inner city have already learned that someone is going to storm the inner city, and all the gates have stepped up their guard.
Relying on the advantage of the city wall, Shang Ji doesn't have any powerful siege equipment at the moment, so he really won't be able to attack the city gate for a while.
"My lord, the last general invites you to fight, and once again raids the enemy from the air!" Su Huan gritted his teeth and stood up.
Shang Ji smiled when he heard the words, waved his hands and said, "Yanchen fought hard tonight,
Feifeng Huoqi suffered heavy casualties, there is no need to force it! "
"My lord, the final general asks the ants to attack the city and clear a passage for the army!" Dian Wei asked to fight in a low voice.
"No, it's all gone!"
Faced with this situation, Shang Ji had expected it and had a countermeasure.
Shang Ji drove his horse forward slowly, looked at the city gate in the distance, sneered, waved his hands, and shouted: "Come out, Suzaku!"
One breath passed, two breaths passed, three breaths passed...
The entire Pingzhou army fell into a strange silence. Shang Ji clearly felt that the breathing of the people behind him suddenly became heavy, and he was obviously trying his best not to let himself laugh!
Pingzhou, Xiangping, in the Baicao Garden. The little Suzaku nesting on the flat peach tree curled its lips in a very humane manner, waved its small wings, and then fell asleep sullenly.
"call!"
After a full five breaths, a heat wave suddenly struck, and red fire clouds began to brew in the sky. A moment later, a crisp phoenix cry resounded throughout Dragon City!
A deer in front of Lin Lin and tail in front of a snake, with a snake head and a fish tail, a dragon-shaped turtle back, a swallow-jawed chicken beak, and a divine bird of five colors flying out of the clouds. Elegant temperament, noble and gorgeous, graceful and generous!
This is really Shang Ji's exclusive skill - Suzaku Summoning!
The summoned Suzaku phantom is about twelve feet long, which is completely different from the palm-sized little Suzaku in Pingzhou.
Suzaku circled gracefully in the sky, and then flew over the city gate.
Only then did the Xianbei army at the city gate react, and roared angrily, "Attack! Attack this monster!"
The bed crossbows and archers, which were originally intended to deal with the flying phoenix and fire cavalry, began to show their power and shot at the Suzaku in the sky.
Suzaku let out a long cry, and the surface of his body immediately ignited raging flames. Whether it was crossbow bolts or arrows, they were burned to ashes before they could get close to Suzaku's body.
Although the Xianbei people's attack did not cause any harm to Suzaku, it really angered Suzaku.
Suzaku let out a long cry again, its wings took off, and a sea of flames hit the city wall from the sky!
Shang Ji was far away from the attack range, and he also felt the heat wave was pressing. It is conceivable how the Xianbei soldiers in the sea of fire felt.
With a wave of Feng Yi, a ball of fire with a diameter of one foot suddenly appeared in front of Suzaku. Under Suzaku's control, the fireball directly hit the city gate.
There was an earth-shattering explosion, and the entire city gate disappeared, even the gate tower was mostly incomplete! The vitrified masonry flows slowly in the form of magma.
The Xianbei soldiers stationed behind the city gate evaporated directly, leaving no dregs left.
The Shang Ji army watching Suzaku's mighty battle from a distance was even more silent, and even Shang Ji himself was shocked by Suzaku's phantom combat power.
A Suzaku phantom has such a strong combat power, so how strong is the Suzaku body at its peak? Is it an exaggeration of the literati that the legendary Suzaku flew thousands of miles away in a rage, or is it true?
When will the Suzaku cub in my family who only knows how to play, roll, eat and drink will have such supernatural power?
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Suzaku cleared this section of the city wall, and all the soldiers were buried in the sea of flames.
Taking advantage of the remaining summoning time, Shang Ji directly ordered Suzaku to rush forward, and wiped out two Xianbei troops who came to support in a row before dissipating into the air because the summoning time ran out.
The Pingzhou army successfully took down the inner city gate without a single soldier or casualty, and the most essential part of the entire Dragon City was exposed to Shang Ji's sharp edge!
Now that he has controlled a city gate, Shang Ji is not in a hurry to continue pushing in.
The entire forward assault army ran for eight hundred miles and fought fiercely for another hour.
I contacted Liu Yi and found that he had led a large army to Dragon City, and was currently leading the army to encircle and suppress the remaining resistance forces in the southern outer city of Dragon City.
Send a message to Liu Yi and ask him to send 30,000 Pingzhou troops to join the assault troops. A total of 50,000 troops will be stationed at the gate of the inner city to prevent the Xianbei from counterattacking.
So far, only Nancheng District has been affected by the flames of war, but the entire Dragon City has become a mess. All kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky, especially the appearance of Suzaku phantom, which pushed the panic to the peak.
Dragon City's existing troops are not even enough to guard the city, so how can there be extra troops to maintain law and order? There were murders, arson, and looting of property everywhere.
The Xianbei defenders in the Nancheng District were wandering around like headless chickens. Some wanted to counterattack and recapture the city gate (the news was late, and it was not known that Baiyangmen had no hope of regaining it), and some followed orders to withdraw to the inner city ( The same news is behind, they can't withdraw it anymore).
The ministries completely lost contact and coordination, went their own way, and were either wiped out or defeated under Liu Yi's siege.
When the east was showing its fish belly, the battle in Nancheng District also came to an end.
The Pingzhou Army has already taken control of all the major traffic arteries in Nancheng District, and all the established Xianbei Army in Nancheng District have been wiped out. Passage to the inner city.
Of course, at present, it can only be said to be occupation, far from control, after all, Dragon City is too big!
By the way, by the way, during this period, the Pingzhou army has wiped out a total of 90,000 Xianbei troops. If you simply count the number, this number accounts for about a quarter of the entire Dragon City force.
In other words, for a king-level city like Dragon City, the total number of defenders is less than 400,000! The emptiness of defense is unbelievable!
The 50,000 elite led by Shang Ji basically returned to their peak condition after a night of rest, and began to march towards the most central city lord's mansion.
The main force led by Liu Yi, while maintaining order in the southern city, also began to send troops to detour to several other urban areas of Longcheng to stop the Xianbei people who planned to leave the city.
