C2 (2/2)
However, before Lord Sun could pull out his blade, three bolt s had already pierced through the air. One of them accurately pierced through the flagpole and nailed it together with Lord Sun. Sir Sun seemed to have been hit directly by a heavy hammer. He flew up into the air and landed heavily on the city gate tower. In the silence of the city wall, he used his right hand to firmly grasp the crenellated entrance and stood up once more.
He leaned on the city wall, not caring about the two finger thick bolt s in his chest and the blood that was already soaked through from his lower body, he slowly extended his right hand and pointed towards Kong Sheng. His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears, ”Life, Phoenix City Border Army Fire Phoenix will bring Kong Sheng, so he can temporarily assume the post of Phoenix City Border Army's wartime commander!”
Right after he finished, the bolt attacked again. This time, the crossbowmen had a target. The six bolt all hit the target, nailing Mister Sun and the flagpole firmly onto the city wall.
The commander of Phoenix City Border Army, Sun Xiaochuan, had died in the hands of his country.
Kong Sheng raised his head to look at the body of Master Sun that was still nailed to the top of the city wall, and gritted his teeth as he fell!
Just like that, an entire jar of purified feces was splashed down, and from outside the city walls came a series of wails and howls, followed by the smell of burnt flesh. Although these purified feces could not compare to the aged ones, they were still enough to deal with the cloth armor.
Immediately after, the half-naked soldiers stood up abruptly and used their sticks and spears to push away the ladder on the city wall. Devil Kingdom Soldier on the ladder all fell down and another round of miserable cries came.
At the same time, the Devil Kingdom Warriors below the city started to shoot. Most of them were using bolt s, so shooting from such a distance would usually penetrate the body of the Phoenix Army soldiers.
The defensive line at the top of the city wall had a hole opened up in it. The Devil Kingdom Soldier seized the opportunity and rushed forward, with their unique scimitars in hand, they began to wildly chop at the city wall. The soldiers of the Phoenix Army who were already prepared all raised their waists, blades, and spears to stab towards their opponents. In an instant, the walls of the Phoenix City were once again drenched in blood, and severed limbs flew everywhere.
Kong Sheng kicked the corpse of one of the Devil Kingdom warriors away from his spear. Borrowing the momentum from pulling the spear, he smashed the pure steel spear onto Devil Kingdom Soldier's stomach which was already raising the curved blade behind him. While he was in pain, Kong Sheng turned around and knocked him away with his knees.
With one slash, Zhao Handong chopped down a Devil Kingdom Soldier. With a few steps, he moved next to Kong Sheng and roared, ”This group of Devil Kingdom brats are pretty fierce! Have new recruits come up? ”
Kong Sheng gasped for breath while leaning on the spear, then answered: ”It's been eight days, these people's energy consumption is much greater than ours.”
Zhao Handong threw out a kick to kick a Devil Kingdom Soldier who had just climbed onto the city wall down, then turned and continued to speak, ”Old Kong, do you think we can still hold on for another ten days?”
Kong Sheng laughed, ”How would I know? ”What, you, Old Zhao, want to be a deserter?”
”Bah!” Zhao Handong spat, throwing aside his own blade that had a cut on it, he picked up his own blade and waved it around: ”Even if I die here, I will not take a step back! ”But then again, if I die, you have to help me take care of that cigarette holder. That's my family heirloom!”
Kong Sheng scolded him with a smile: ”Even if you die, you won't forget to smoke. If you don't let this brat from Devil Kingdom chop you to death, you'll still die from smoking!”
”Ha ha-ha ha, who the hell isn't dead yet!” ”Why bother so much with it?” Zhao Handong laughed, he dodged and dodged a curved blade that was coming at him, then turned his body, the steel blade in his hand had already pierced into the blade master's neck. He did not try to dodge, and let the blood spurt out from Devil Kingdom Soldier's neck all over his body. From afar, he looked like a demon god.
The long spear in his hand was violently swung, instantly sweeping away the curved blades in the hands of the three Devil Kingdom Soldier s in front of him. After that, the spears circled around his body, and left three bloody wounds on the throats of the three soldiers. Kong Sheng turned his body according to the force of the spear, and withdrew his spear towards the three Devil Kingdom Soldier s, bowing to the surrounding Phoenix Army soldiers. Only now, did the corpses of the three Devil Kingdom Soldier s slowly fall to the ground.
In just a short period of time, the thunderous cheers from above the city walls boosted the morale.
”Good spear art!” Zhao Handong laughed out loud. ”Old Kong, the inherited spear techniques of Peacock Ridge are not just for show!”
Hearing the three words ”Peacock Ridge”, Kong Sheng's gaze dimmed for a moment, then he adjusted his expression and smiled lightly. ”You flatter me, Manager Zhao.”
The cheers on the city wall could not stop the tsunami of enemies below the city wall. At the same time as a ladder was pushed down, five more were erected, and the gray walls were covered with black leather and grey cloth. From afar, it looked like a cube of sugar that had been taken over by ants.
Zhao Handong waved his blade and cut down a Devil Kingdom Soldier, he turned and shouted at Kong Sheng: ”Old Kong, you can't hold on anymore, use that move!”
Kong Sheng stared at the more and more Devil Kingdom Soldier on the wall, he frowned and asked: ”I'm going down, will you be okay?”
”Don't f * cking think that your Fire Phoenix Army is a soldier! Your father's Border Army is also a soldier! ” Zhao Handong roared, he waved his blade and rushed towards another Devil Kingdom Soldier.
Kong Sheng cupped his fists at Zhao Handong: ”Zhao Guan brought you along, it's been hard on you!” Finishing his words, he put away his spear and turned around. Like a wisp of smoke, he ran down the city wall and headed straight for the small city gate on the east side.
There were already more than a hundred red armored riders waiting at the entrance of this small city, which only allowed two riders to ride side by side. They were all fully armored and sitting cross-legged on the ground. Aside from the few cries of the slightly impatient horses, there wasn't even a single person in this group who let out a sound.
Seeing that Kong Sheng had arrived, all the Knights stood up and bowed to him. Without waiting for Kong Sheng to return the gesture, all the Knights once again moved at the same time. They grabbed onto the saddles and jumped onto the horses, taking down their pikes with their right hands and pulling off their helmets to cover their faces, they looked like a single person.
Kong Sheng laughed bitterly as he looked at his subordinates. Although none of them said a word, their actions showed that they were full of fighting spirit and dissatisfaction. As the elite army of the empire, they had actually failed to kill even one enemy within eight days of the invasion, even though their allies had suffered heavy losses. This was the ultimate humiliation! Right now, outside the city, the drums were rumbling and the sounds of fighting could be heard. The city was on the verge of destruction, so if they didn't come now, what was the time?
Kong Sheng did not say much, holding onto the saddle bridge, he jumped onto his horse and patted on his horse's neck, then took out his spear and turned to face the Knights behind him and roared: ”You have waited eight days for nothing. It's not that he wasn't going to take the field and kill the enemy, but that the time wasn't right yet. Right now, the enemies are attacking the city desperately, and the Phoenix City Pass is going to die here! Everyone, please die with me! ”
”We are willing to die with the general!” More than a hundred heavy-armored knight s roared until their voices were hoarse
Kong Sheng smiled, pointed at the City Gate Officer, and shouted: ”Open!”
Following the opening of this small city gate, over a hundred Fire Phoenix Army Riding heavy-armored knight s poured out like a stream of fire, attacking the black mass of enemies outside.
