At this time, the Hong Chengchou rate in Guyuan got three messages.

The first two were sent by Qin Shuhuai, one of which was that his martial arts alliance army still had ten days to reach Lanzhou, but he himself would arrive in Lanzhou first tomorrow night. Second, he told Hong Chengchou that the total strength of the Demon Sect was about 100,000.

The third news came from within the city of Lanzhou. The troops of the Demon Sect besieging Lanzhou were about 90,000, of which 60,000 were Demon Cultists and 30,000 were Ma Shouying.

Considering that the Demon Sect still had to defend Xining, Wuwei and other occupied cities, the experienced Hong Chengchou immediately calculated that the Demon Sect would not be able to draw troops to ambush on the outskirts of Lanzhou City.

So he made a quick decision and led an army of 30,000 to advance to Dagou Township, which was only 300 miles away from Lanzhou City, and it was more convenient to support it during the war.

That night, the Demon Cult did not attack, and there was nothing wrong all night.

During the day the next day, the Demon Cult remained unmoved, extremely calm.

Fifteen hundred Houtu Banner people are nervously tunneling underground. When it was observed that the Ming army had buried a large number of "water tanks" on the side of the moat, Houtuqi had to change the set goal, and just dug the tunnel until it just crossed the moat and stopped.

In the evening, the Demon Cult camp.

A middle-aged man with an elegant temperament and a handsome appearance walked into the camp. In his hand, he held a golden flute, which shone brightly against the backdrop of the setting sun, which was particularly dazzling.

When the Demon Sect members in the camp saw him, they knelt down and saluted.

"Meet Elder Kim. ”

Jin Xiaolang Jun Yu Zhu rarely shows up in the rivers and lakes, and this time he came to Lanzhou to be assigned by the sect leader Yan Wuyue to come to help.

After entering Zhao Wuxian's camp, except for Zhao Wuxian and Chu Yun, the rest of the generals stood up one after another and saluted him.

Yu Zhu smiled and nodded at everyone, and then said to Zhao Wuxian, "Protector Zhao, can Lanzhou City go down tonight?" ”

Zhao Wuxian nodded and said, "With Elder Jin here, you can go down to Lanzhou City tonight." ”

"Oh, listen to Zhao Protector's meaning, I have to go to Lanzhou City with you next?"

"Elder Jin hasn't been out of the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he finally came out this time, don't you want to go to Lanzhou City to try your Tianxuan Gong?" Zhao Wuxian asked rhetorically.

Yu Zhu smiled faintly, "Since Protector Zhao has an order, he will naturally obey the order." ”

At night, the south gate of Lanzhou City.

The moonlight is still not good, which is very beneficial to the Demon Cult.

However, under the walls of the south gate, there are bonfires, which illuminate the night as if it were day.

In addition to bonfires, there are also dense rejection horses, and thistles everywhere. This shows that the Ming army does not intend to fight with the Demon Sect under the city.

At three o'clock, in the darkness, a large number of thunderbolts of the Demon Cult were thrown from the other side.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The thunderbolt was thrown into the bonfire on the opposite shore with great precision, and after a violent explosion, the bonfire was blown apart, leaving only the sparkle of sparks all over the ground.

The campfires relatively close to the moat were largely destroyed.

The Ming soldiers who were listening to the "water tank" under the city immediately ran back to the city.

Subsequently, a large number of ladders were erected over the moat again.

The Demon Cult soldiers crossed the river like a tidal wave.

At the head of the city, the Ming army immediately launched a fierce counterattack, and for a time the guns and cannons rang out in unison, and the flying arrows poured out frantically on the moat.

The cannonballs landed on the moat, setting off columns of water one after another, making people feel as if they were in the middle of a stormy sea. Some of the shells directly broke the ladder, and some exploded directly on the Demon Cult soldiers, like the scythe of death, harvesting wave after wave of lives.

Bows and arrows and bird guns are much less powerful. This time, the people and horses of the Demon Sect who crossed the river first were all wearing large shields, which may not be able to penetrate with bows and arrows and bird guns.

After paying a great price, about 100 or so people from the vanguard of the Demon Cult crossed the river first. But as soon as they took a step, they all had painful expressions on their faces.

It turned out that the officers and soldiers threw countless thistles on the ground, and these thistles were all black and shiny, and they should have been soaked in poisonous water.

Because it was dark and in the mud and grass, most of the people crossing the river did not notice these small things, so at least more than ordinary people were tricked.

These people had no choice but to endure the pain, limp and sweep away a clean field, and then put the big shield on the ground, and sat cross-legged under the cover of the shield to ward off the poison. For these ordinary soldiers whose cultivation is not very high, this kind of quick poison can easily kill them if they are not forced out as soon as possible.

And those who didn't get hit, they were in groups of about twenty people, kicking away the iron dysentery, and at the same time touching two places, setting up a shield array and waiting for something.

Underground, the Demon Cult's Thick Earth Banner is frantically digging holes. At this time, no one in the city is listening, so you can dig as much as you want.

The Ming army's Franc machine guns at the head of the city recovered eight more, because it was judged that the Demon Sect would attack from the south gate, so Cao Wenzhao transferred one cannon from each of the other three.

Bombardment!

If they cross the moat and gather under the city, then fire oil, boiling oil, and asphalt will give them a second round of consumption!

Everything looks perfect.

Until three figures suddenly appeared in the sky!

These three figures are like ghosts, floating from the west, middle, and south directions of the south gate city wall!

Xia Lu looked at it and sneered in his heart: It's finally here!

In view of the lesson of Chu Yun's wreaking havoc on the city wall last time, this time the Ming army specially ambushed four hundred crossbowmen behind the battlements to deal with the Demon Sect masters!

With Xia Lu's order, four hundred crossbowmen got up one after another and shot wildly at these three people!

"Whoosh!"

A dense stream of crossbow bolts rained down on them.

However, the three of them had already prepared a light shield to block the crossbow arrows one by one. Even if a few crossbow arrows bypassed the light shield, they were easily blocked.

These three people are naturally the Demon Sect's Left Protector Zhao Wuxian, Purple Elder Chu Yun, and Elder Jin Yu Zhu.

The three of them fell to the top of the city, and then began to wreak havoc.

Chu Yun held the magic qin in his hand, and the ice-carved jade fingers caressed the strings, and the beautiful sound of the piano was mixed with fierce true qi, and the true qi instantly turned into shape, like a knife and a sword, constantly penetrating the bodies of one Ming soldier after another.

Yu Zhu Jin Xiao in his hand, slowly blowing, Dao Dao magic sound erupted from the golden flute, or low or high-spirited, the Ming soldiers around him were all churning with blood and blood, dizzy, eardrums were painful, one by one covered their ears and roared wildly, yelled, ran crazy, and some even fell directly to the city.

And Zhao Wuxian weapon is a pair of iron hands, this iron hand is black and shiny, non-iron and non-steel, and the blade will make a crisp clanging sound when slashed on it, but it can't hurt it in the slightest. The iron hand is flexible and variable, not bulky at all, like a glove. At the top of each of the five fingers of the iron hand, there is a small hook, and when one claw goes down, it will teach the skin of the hand to open the flesh and blur the flesh and blood. And anyone who was caught in the neck and covered his head was killed on the spot. Only those who were caught in the abdomen and chest by him were more miserable, because the internal organs had to flow out for a while before they died in pain and terror.

Zhao Wuxian is extremely fast, coming and going only to see his shadow but not his body, like a ghost.

The name of the "ghost king" is tied to this.

The city is in chaos!
