In the city of Lanzhou.

After Cao Wenzhao got the collapse of the South Gate, he immediately sent 8,000 troops to the South Gate - there were 85,000 troops in Lanzhou City, and he was not short of soldiers.

A large number of officers and soldiers rushed to the gap in the south gate and began to build abandoned bricks and city walls to the gap. Although it was impossible to build another wall, piling up the ruins would also make the defense of the officers and troops more advantageous.

At this time, the Demon Cult was not counted as those who died on the other side of the moat, just the Demon Cultists who crossed the river had already killed three or four hundred people, and the first batch of Demon Cultists who came over had almost lost everything. But they saved eight ladders.

More and more Daedricians crossed the river, and then they ran to the campfires along the moat!

In the night battle, the bonfire is the sight of the officials and soldiers, and if the bonfire is extinguished, the Demon Cult will build a bridge over the moat, and the officials and soldiers may not be able to find out.

The officers and soldiers set up more than 30 bonfires outside the south gate, and more than a dozen demon cults were destroyed at once.

Seeing this, a thousand households of the Guanning Army, who led the troops to command the battle under the city, immediately ordered his men to protect the bonfire. And Xia Lu at the head of the city was not slow to react, and sent another thousand people out to protect the bonfire.

However, the Demon Sect's group of cultists who specialized in destroying the bonfire were all extremely fast, and before the large army of officials and troops could kill them, they destroyed seven or eight more.

There were more than thirty bonfires, and at once only twelve or thirteen remained. Moreover, these twelve or thirteen bonfires, because of the large number of officers and soldiers surrounded, could not illuminate the situation on the canal.

In the darkness, the Demon Cult got a large number of ladders out of nowhere, and erected them on the moat one after another.

"Bang!

The sound of the ladder falling to the ground continued, but unfortunately the moonlight was too poor that night, and the visibility was only one or two meters, and on the surface of the moat that was more than a mile long, the officers and soldiers could not grasp the specific location of these ladders, so they could only check them one by one along the moat.

In just such a short period of effort, countless demon sect soldiers stepped on the cloud ladder and quickly crossed the river.

Xia Lu immediately ordered someone to light a flare. The flare quickly rose into the air, and then this brief light, Xia Lu saw that the canal was densely packed with ladders everywhere, and his scalp suddenly went numb!

The Ming army, which had the advantage on this side of the moat, except for a small part to deal with the Demon Sect that crossed the river, the rest went crazy to cut the cloud ladder!

Both sides are scrambling for time!

The Demon Cult erected hundreds of ladders on the moat, and each Demon Cult soldier walked on the ladder as if he were on the ground, crossing the river at an astonishing speed.

Xia Lu sent another 2,000 troops to support, and when the city wall had already collapsed for a while, the moat could not be lost.

By this time, he had already sent 6,000 officers and troops to the moat only eighty meters away from the city wall. The city is already full of people.

There were also corpses everywhere.

The Demon Cultists and the officers and soldiers were together, the figures were intertwined, the swords and swords were shadowed, and the fierceness of the battle was constantly escalating.

Flares are constantly rising. With current technology, one flare can only burn for about five minutes at most, and to illuminate the area under the city, which is 500 meters long and 80 meters wide, it takes eight flares to rise into the air together.

Because the forces of the two sides are intertwined, neither birds, cannons, or arrows can be fired at the city. However, these weapons were not useless, and Xia Lu ordered them all to fire into the moat. The moat is full of demon cultists who are crossing the river, and it is appropriate to shoot with cannonballs, guns, and arrows at this time!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Bang! bang!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

On the moat, one after another splashed water, and countless demon cultists fell into the moat in wailing. On the surface of the moat, there were a large number of corpses of Demon Cult soldiers.

But the army of the Demon Cult is still stubbornly crossing the river! Xia Lu thinks that these people are not human at all, they are more like numb puppets, without fear and ignoring death, can this still be considered human?

At this moment, a purple phantom suddenly floated in the sky.

She crossed the moat, rose into the air again, and actually stepped on the city bricks and climbed the seventeen or eighteen-meter-high city wall!

Xia Lu was shocked! Immediately command the archers, crossbowmen, and musketeers to shoot wildly at her!

However, the purple-clothed woman's body was as erratic as a ghost, avoiding them one by one with a strange way, and then fell in front of a Franc cannon, and actually pushed the Franc cannon off the city wall with one palm!

When the officers and soldiers at the head of the city saw this, they were all dumbfounded.

The person who came was one of the three tones of the Demon Sect, Purple Elder Chu Yun!

Facing the soldiers of the Ming army who rushed over like a tide, Chu Yun held the piano in one hand and plucked it lightly with the other, and a melodious note burst out instantly, and then turned into a sharp air knife. The air knife swept over, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers fell!

Then, with a slight leap, she came to another Franc cannon and knocked it down to the city with the same palm!

The purple figure jumped back and forth at the head of the city, causing a great chaos at the head of the city! In an instant, Chu Yun destroyed three Buddha cannons, and at the same time killed more than 100 soldiers of the Ming Army with the sound of the qin.

But she is also a mortal after all, and she needs to consume a lot of true qi to support her outbreaks again and again. After destroying three Furlong cannons, she flipped away.

Xia Lu was furious and ordered all the firearms and crossbowmen at the head of the city to shoot at her. The storm-like projectiles and crossbow arrows roared towards Chu Yun with the momentum of a landslide and tsunami. This kind of power, even the most top-notch masters, can't get out of it - because masters are only masters after all, not gods.

A projectile hit Chu Yun's shoulder, and the white and flawless skin suddenly splashed with blood, leaving a hole the size of an eye.

A crossbow arrow hit Chu Yun's back again, and the arrow completely sank into the skin, but fortunately it didn't hurt the internal organs.

Ziyun laughed loudly in the air, her speed did not decrease, and she quickly disappeared into the night sky.

She was wounded twice, but she disrupted the counterattack of the head team of the Ming army. In this short gap, a large number of Demon Cultists rushed through the moat and reached the city.

Now, there are more than 2,000 Demon Cultists who have crossed the river, and they are fully capable of controlling a certain number of cloud ladders!

This is the meaning of the master in war.

And at this moment, a thousand Demon Sect Qingshui Banner soldiers suddenly came out of the moat! Each of them was armed with a modified crossbow and fired wildly at the Ming army on the shore.

On that day, they used the same method to help the Ming army kill the Tartars. Now that they turn around, they can still slaughter the Ming army in the same way.

For them, whether it is the Ming army or the Tartars, when they stand in front of them, there is no difference!

Xia Lu hesitated!

Do you want to send more troops to the city?

The collapsed gap has been built eight or nine meters high with ruins (the original ruins were piled up five or six meters high), and it can barely be used as a city wall.

At this time, of course, it is more cost-effective to let the Demon Sect attack the city wall! As long as the Demon Sect attacks the city wall, the officers and soldiers have cannons, birds, arrows, asphalt, fire oil, and boiling oil to fight back to their heart's content!

Letting the Demon Cult attack the city wall means that no more troops will be sent outside the city. But what about the brothers who have now left the city to fight hard under the city? Ignore them and let them be slaughtered by the Demon Cult?
