Chapter 638 Victory!

Shang Ji was also afraid of having long nights and dreams, so the troops immediately launched another attack on Dragon City after a brief rest. Without destroying Dragon City, the war cannot be said to have been won, so dare not relax for a moment!

The Pingzhou army captured the inner city gate and stationed troops here. Naturally, the Xianbei people would not have no countermeasures. A total of 20,000 Xianbei troops were stationed on the street not far from the Pingzhou army, setting up tripping ropes, horse refusal posts, and deer Firewood, shield vehicles and other roadblocks.

At the same time, a brigade of crossbowmen and spearmen, which are not common among Xianbei people, was also deployed.

These things are still effective against ordinary cavalry. However, the Pingzhou assault troops are all high-level special arms, how can ordinary cavalry be compared?

Charged against the low-threatening arrow rain, the black-armored Xuanqi defeated the Xianbei army in a few rounds of throwing spears. The simple defensive equipment has become a decoration, and it is easily broken up.

In terms of Yibu Yuqi, Xianbei people can't even be regarded as younger brothers!

As the vanguard, the Black Armor Xuanqi smashed the Xianbei's roadblocks into pieces, and the Xianbei people dispersed immediately after that. Ordinary dragon city defenders have very low fighting will, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as dragon city, a royal city.

However, how could the defeated infantry be the opponent of the cavalry, like chasing ducks, most of the 20,000 Xianbei were hunted down, and the scene was very bloody.

When Qiqin arrived with 30,000 elite guards, the hunting had come to an end. Looking at the brutal Pingzhou army from a distance, Qiqin's heart trembled, and he dared not step forward to stop the enemy.

However, the Pingzhou army would not be polite, and immediately rode their horses to kill them. Qiqin panicked and didn't dare to resist at all. He turned his horse and led the troops and withdrew (run away).

Wanting to run and chase at the same time, the Pingzhou army bit the tail of the Qiqin army and chased after them, killing some laggard soldiers from time to time.

The high priest on the other side also received the latest battle situation, and was so angry that he flipped the table on the spot.

The situation had deteriorated to this point, and the high priest secretly thought that something was wrong. Originally, he also planned to carry out street fighting, and use the favorable terrain to delay the Pingzhou Army's attack on the core area of ​​Longcheng. As a result, who knew that the Pingzhou Army was so powerful that the 20,000-strong blocking corps was wiped out almost instantly!

Gritting his teeth, the High Priest gave the final order that all Dragon City defenders move closer to the City Lord's Mansion, and all Dragon City residents take up arms, abandon all unimportant buildings, and guard the temple and the City Lord's Mansion with all their strength.

This order was just what Shang Ji meant. He was overjoyed when he learned that the defenders of Longcheng were retreating everywhere, and ordered Liu Yi to lead most of them to control the traffic arteries as soon as possible. It is possible to relinquish control of the outer city at this moment.

After that, Shang Ji no longer cared about the affairs of the inner city, and followed the Qiqin army all the way to the core of Dragon City.

Here, Shang Ji also encountered the strongest defense force in Dragon City, 30,000 temple corps, 40,000 elite guards, and about 60,000 ordinary Dragon City defenders (most of the peripheral troops have not had time to rush back) .

Of course, in addition to these regular troops, there are also a large number of Xianbei militiamen armed with simple weapons, and the combat effectiveness of these people is negligible.

The high priest was overjoyed when he saw that the Pingzhou army had only 50,000 troops killed. Immediately abandoned the original strategy of sticking to it with all its strength, and changed to attacking with the whole army, and eliminated this Han army unit that "underestimated the enemy and rushed forward" as soon as possible, so as to boost the morale of the army and improve morale.

The high priest's order completely ruined the last hope of the Dragon City defenders!

Among the 130,000 Xianbei Army, only the 30,000 Temple Army could barely compete with the carefully selected 50,000 Pingzhou Army. The rest, whether it was the Guardian Army or the ordinary Dragon City defenders, faced the Pingzhou Army and they would all end in a single battle.

As for the Xianbei militiamen, which are generally around the first and second ranks, they don't even have the qualifications to intervene in the battlefield!

A soldier of the Pingzhou Army stood still, and it was difficult for the Xianbei militiamen to kill them. On the contrary, the Pingzhou soldiers can kill a large number of Xianbei militiamen with a little wave of their hands.

Without discussing the strength of commanders and special arms, etc., the average rank of the army differs by one rank.

In the field, the weaker side needs two to three times the strength advantage to barely remain undefeated, and this gap is more obvious in the high-level army.

And the average rank of the 50,000 Pingzhou Army is similar to that of the Temple Legion, all around the seventh rank. However, the Pingzhou Army is almost all high-level special arms above the prefecture level, and the Temple Legion is only a mysterious-level special arm. The actual combat effectiveness of the Pingzhou Army is much higher than that of the Temple Legion.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the fifth and sixth ranks of the Xianbei Protectorate Army accounted for about half each, and they were all low-level special units. Ordinary dragon city defenders are mainly Tier 4, with a small number of Tier 5 elites.

After a comprehensive analysis, although the strength of Long Cheng's army is almost three times that of the Pingzhou army, its comprehensive combat power is actually weaker.

More importantly, among the 50,000 Pingzhou army, there are as many as six top S-level generals (Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Su Huan, Guo Biao, Shang Ji), and the ordinary super-class generals are even more so. Breaking through the three-digit mark, showing a crushing advantage in terms of generals!

As soon as the battle started, the defenders of Dragon City fell into a disadvantage.

The 20,000 Pingzhou Army completely ignored the Xianbei militiamen blocking the way. Under the leadership of Dian Wei and Liu Meng, they went straight into the Dragon City Central Army, tearing through the Dragon City Army's defense line as easily as hot knives cut butter, until they encountered the Temple Legion Just slowed down a little.

Immediately afterwards, 10,000 troops each on the left and right flanks attacked under the leadership of Tai Shici and Zhao Yun respectively, outflanking and attacking the enemy's flanks. For a while, the Xianbei army was killed and retreated steadily, and there was a possibility of defeat at any time.

The high priest panicked now. After all, he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Pingzhou Army. After waking up, he quickly ordered the Dragon City defenders to retreat to the City Lord's Mansion.

The King City-level City Lord's Mansion has a vast area and complete defense facilities, so it can be called a fortress. The high priest's initial plan was to stick to the city lord's mansion and wait for the Xianbei tribal army who received the summoning order from Sirius to come to support them. It's a pity that he didn't recognize the difference in combat strength between the two armies, and he gave wrong orders out of greed, which led to the desperation of the entire elite defenders of Dragon City.

It was only at this time that I thought of retreating, of course it was too late. Shang Ji had also expected this scene a long time ago, and the Feifeng Huoqi, who had been hovering high in the sky on standby, swooped down and washed the ground with bursting flying feather arrows to prevent the Dragon City Army from retreating. At the same time, Guo Biao also led 10,000 troops to detour to the rear of the battlefield to block the Dragon City Army who was trying to retreat.

Facing the desperate situation, the high priest also showed his determination as the supreme ruler of shamanism. He looked cold and shouted: "All high-level priests, jointly perform the praise of life! The sixth and seventh thousand teams of the Temple Legion use the magic leopard Dan, all seriously injured soldiers who have the Blood Demon Pill should use the Blood Demon Pill immediately. Priest Quan, summon the Xianbei Holy Beast with me!"

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard the words, Priest Quan was the first to react, and stepped forward to stand behind the high priest, supporting his decision with actions.

Although a few of the remaining high-ranking priests looked hesitant, they all stood together in the end and jointly performed the praise of life under the auspices of an old senior priest.

As for the Temple Legion, it was much simpler. After receiving the order, there was almost no hesitation, and they took the magic pills according to the order of the high priest. The Templar Legions are the most fanatical believers, and at this critical moment, each has the determination to sacrifice for the Shamanism.

The most efficient ones are the Priest Quan and the High Priest. Seriously speaking, the two are not summoned, but authorized. There is a holy beast protecting the city in Dragon City, whose status is similar to that of Suzaku in Pingzhou.

In a critical moment, it can be summoned to defend against the enemy, but under normal circumstances, it is summoned by the Lord Xianbei Alliance. However, there is no official Xianbei Alliance Master yet, and the two main priests, the High Priest and the Quan Priest, can also be summoned together.

"Aww!!!"

Accompanied by a wolf howl that resounded throughout the world, a golden giant wolf with a strong physique and a height of three feet appeared in front of everyone.

The giant wolf gave a long howl proudly, then turned its gaze to Pingzhou Army, a cruel smile appeared in its golden eyes.

"Suzaku calls!"

Seeing this, Shang Ji didn't hesitate at all, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned the Suzaku again. This time Xiaohong didn't obstruct her, and immediately approved the application.

Red clouds were brewing in the sky. The golden giant wolf looked at the sky with some doubts at first, and then became panicked. The wolf head looked around subconsciously, as if planning an escape route.

Suzaku's phantom image was real, and a pair of phoenix eyes immediately fixed on the giant wolf. Without Shang Ji giving orders, he let out a slightly excited cry, his wings trembled, and he swooped down directly.

Seeing this, the giant wolf immediately gave up his dignity as a guardian holy beast, turned his head and fled. But Suzaku obviously wouldn't give him this chance.

With a soft beep, a fireball emerged and blasted straight onto the escape route of the golden giant wolf. The giant wolf's footsteps paused slightly, and Suzaku's claws directly grabbed the giant wolf.

Spreading its wings again, the giant wolf was directly taken into the air, and flew to a distance of about twenty feet. Suzaku loosened its claws, and the giant wolf howled, and fell directly from the air.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the place where the giant wolf fell happened to be the Xianbei sacrificial group!

At this time, the Xianbei sacrificial group was leading a high-ranking priest to jointly perform the praise of life. A giant monster three feet high and five feet long fell from a height of twenty feet. One can imagine the consequences!

The priest who responded in a timely manner tried his best to cast spells back, forcing the middle to cast spells, and dodging to the side. The priest who didn't react in time was hit by the giant wolf in a daze, and turned into meat slag.

The priests who escaped in time were also uncomfortable. The higher the level of spells, the more serious the consequences. The priests who managed to escape the catastrophe all vomited blood, their faces were pale, and many people even fainted directly. It is not uncommon to die from direct serious injuries due to bad luck and severe backlash effects.

Seeing the good deed he had done, Suzaku let out a long cry of excitement, and before the giant wolf woke up from the situation of falling from a high altitude, he swooped down again, grabbed hold of it and flew into the sky, repeating the above steps.

The target of the attack this time is the Xianbei elite guards who guard the high priest and the spring priest.

"Scatter, scatter quickly! The whole army immediately disperses and breaks through, and evacuates from Dragon City!!!"

At the last moment, Priest Quan didn't care about the consequences anymore, he roared loudly and ordered the Dragon City army to break through. As for the high priest, since the appearance of Suzaku phantom, his eyes have been empty and lifeless, as if his whole body has aged a lot in an instant.

If the guards hadn't pulled him at a critical moment, he would have been crushed directly by the giant wolf.

After playing back and forth a few times, the giant wolf had been knocked unconscious, Suzaku was disappointed, and sprayed a mouthful of phoenix flames directly on the giant wolf, and the giant wolf turned into little stars and dissipated in the air.

The defenders of Dragon City collapsed!
