If you want to attack a city by force, the price paid by the attackers will be several times that of the defenders. Unless there is really no other way, military strategists will generally not adopt the strategy of directly climbing the city.

But this is about people.

If it were the Scorpions, seven thousand people would dare to attack a city of twenty thousand people. Even if it was a night attack, where would they get the courage?

The scorpion charm first did not need a ladder and the second did not need a hanging rope. He forcibly stuck the eight sharp scorpion feet into the cracks of the city wall bricks. The two powerful scorpion pincers were like ice picks and hammered into the blue bricks to hang them. The ten "awls" took turns.

Using force, the speed of climbing is almost the same as walking on flat ground.

Although the defenders at the east gate of Tinglei City immediately discovered the demon army's night attack, by the time the defenders gathered behind the battlements, Scorpion Charm's vanguard was already approaching the city's head.

The spearman immediately thrust out his weapon, trying to stab the scorpion to death directly, but was blocked by the monster's tough leather armor.

When the stabbing failed, the spearmen changed their thrusts to pushing, trying to push Xie Mei off the city wall, but Xie Mei's ten hands and feet were firmly grasped on the city wall, and the three or four spearmen could not push him away at all.

It just slightly slows down its climbing speed.

The archer couldn't stand it any longer, so he put his long bow out of the battlement, turned the handle of the bow horizontally, and fired an arrow at the scorpion's head. The scorpion only lowered his head, and the arrow hit his head, which was just a white dot, not even a little bit of red.

No traces can be seen.

Every enemy has the skills of a golden bell, an iron cloth, and a cloth shirt. How can we fight this battle? Lei Bing suddenly panicked.

Hearing Lei Bing's panic, Xie Mei suddenly felt that the pressure from above was reducing, and with one step, she climbed to the top of the city wall on the northern section of the city wall.

Now I heard that Lei Bing was miserable.

The enemy's leather armor cannot be cut with a knife and cannot be penetrated by a spear, but the scorpion pincers cut by others can cut the waist of a soldier wearing armor.

With a flick of the scorpion pincer, three or two thunder soldiers flew away.

As soon as the scorpion pincers fell, five or seven of the thunder soldiers were stabbed to death.

There is also the poisonous scorpion tail hidden behind the body of the scorpion. When people are not prepared, it will sting people as fast as lightning. The stung person will not be able to move his fingers, his whole body will twitch, and he will fall to the ground dead.

More than fifty scorpion demons suddenly rushed up from the northern section of the city, and they were divided into the north and south to expand the victory. The number of those rushing south was so large that it was almost overwhelming, and in an instant they had advanced to the vicinity of the horse road.

Qi Jun led Ting Lei's elite iron spear soldiers to arrive in time.

First, four heavy shields were pushed up. The heavy shields were six feet six inches high, three feet three inches wide, and weighed more than two hundred kilograms. Each side was held by two sturdy men.

The heavy shield passed his own soldiers and squatted in the center of the corridor. Sixteen big men rushed up behind him to hold him back. Almost at the same time, two scorpion demons collided with each other. The heavy shield shook violently and directly hit the one at the back.

The four people fell to the ground.

Immediately behind the heavy shield man, eight more people came forward. With the combined strength of thirty-two people, they were able to block the crazy collision between the two scorpions.

As soon as the front was blocked, the iron spearmen behind him immediately took action.

Four people formed a square and set up the base. An iron spearman took a running start, rushed onto the base, jumped up, just above the upper edge of the heavy shield, and threw the iron spear in his hand with all his strength, aiming at the scorpion accurately.

Charming heart.

Scorpion was hit by a spear, but the tip of the spear could not penetrate its thick skin. Only the strong inertia knocked it toward the battlement. Before it could straighten up, the second iron spear struck again, and its body was knocked crooked.

He turned over and fell into the city.

The iron spear soldiers were extremely efficient. They fired eight rounds at once and knocked down the four scorpion monsters at the forefront.

In the fifth round, an iron spearman threw his spear incorrectly. It was aimed at the heart, but it was pierced diagonally at the joint between the human body and the scorpion body. A red light flashed in front of his eyes, and the first scorpion saw blood.

Mei was pierced by an iron spear and was firmly nailed to the ground and could no longer move.

Qi Jun saw this clearly, and he immediately ordered: "The iron spear soldiers obey the order and throw their spears into the monster's abdomen!"

This discovery temporarily turned the tide of the war.

In the next round, the two iron spearmen jumped up high and thrust out two iron spears, accurately piercing the human-animal joint of the two scorpion monsters.

After a successful attack, they followed the same pattern, and the Scorpion Charms who rushed to the top of the city were quickly eliminated by the Iron Spear Soldiers, and the Tinglei Soldiers blocked the gap again.

Qi Jun issued an order to all the defenders: "The eyes, mouth, ears, and belly are the monster's weak points. To defeat the enemy, we must start from all directions."

Just after the city was recaptured, there was another stir in the city.

It turned out that the scorpion demon who was knocked off the city by the iron spear soldiers did not fall to death. After regaining his strength, he started to attack in the city. The ten scorpion demons had killed nearly two hundred soldiers. Now, although he was surrounded by thousands of people,

But relying on their thick skin and hard armor, they were still fighting from left to right.

Qi Jun temporarily handed over the command of the city to Tao Chen and went down with the iron spear soldiers to help, but was grabbed by Yun Feixue.

"Just go with the iron spearmen. You are the lord of a city, don't go out and take risks!"

Qi Jun shook off Yun Feixue: "I heard that there is no city lord in Leicheng who has watched the enemy formation!"

"Okay, I'll go down with you!"

"You..." Qi Jun sighed, knowing that she couldn't persuade him, and he couldn't persuade her either, "Just follow me!"

The Iron Spear Soldiers quickly cornered the Scorpion Charm into the corner of the city wall, and casually said, "The trapped beast still fights". The more desperate the situation, the more ferocious the beastly nature of the monster will burst out.

I don’t know which scorpion demon invented it first. He rushed to the corner of the city wall, jumped into the formation of thunder soldiers, beat him wildly, and then returned to the corner. Ten scorpion demons took turns to attack, beating dozens of soldiers to death.

.

The area in the corner of the city wall was so narrow that the iron spears were not of much use, so they could only use heavy shields to squeeze the encirclement into a smaller and smaller area. However, the smaller the encirclement, the more arrogant the scorpions became, and the soldiers were unable to do anything to this small group of monsters for the time being.

Qi Jun shouted: "Where is the 'executioner'?"

"Executioners" is another name given to the elite martial arts masters from Leicheng. The team does not exceed forty-nine people. Each one is thin and small, but moves quickly. They are specially used for surprise attacks. Everyone holds a sharp knife to cut off the cattle and roll through them in a swarm.

Only bones are left behind, no living people.

Qi Qilang responded loudly: "The 'executioner' is here!"

Twenty-four martial arts masters stripped off their upper bodies and rushed onto the horse path with their swords in hand. They turned over and fell into the scorpion circle.

Qi Jun ordered: "Make way!"

The spearmen and the heavy shieldmen stepped back ten steps in unison, widening the circle in the corner and allowing the "executioner" to use their hands and feet.

Listening to the reputation of Lei Martial Master, they are not only superb in martial arts, but the key is their tacit cooperation. Under mutual cover, every scorpion charm was disemboweled or had their skulls pierced. Without even a cup of tea, ten scorpion charms killed nine.

The last one jumped out of the encirclement with all his strength and jumped high over the heavy shield. The iron spearmen quickly raised their iron spears and pushed his body towards the outer circle, but they were impartial and hit Qi Jun's side.

Qi Jun subconsciously moved Yun Feixue behind him to protect him, and used the "Lingxiao Sword Technique" with the knife in his right hand to face the pair of pliers that were piercing him. He pulled out a lotus flower with the blade, slid the scorpion pliers to both sides, and then straightened up, using the knife

The tip pokes at the human-animal joint of the scorpion charm.

Just before the hit, the people around him shouted: "City Lord, be careful!"

Qi Jun heard the bad news and returned his sword to block the incoming object, but was blocked by Yun Feixue's body.

Yun Feixue tightly grasped the barbed scorpion tail, but unfortunately the poisonous needle had already punctured her upper abdomen. When the blood was seen, the poison spread and she froze up.

Qi Jun raised his knife and killed Xie Mei. He turned around to support the collapsed Yun Feixue and asked urgently, "What are you doing?"

Although Yun Feixue couldn't move her body, her facial features were still under control. She smiled sadly at Qi Jun: "How can you do it without my protection?"

Qi Jun was in a hurry: "You are a medicine refining person. Please tell me which medicine can cure scorpion poison?"

Yun Feixue said: "The yellow pills in the porcelain bottle in my arms... are useless... this monster is very poisonous... I'm afraid..."

No matter what she was nagging, Qi Jun did not avoid the guard between men and women. He reached into her arms and groped around. Sure enough, there was a small porcelain bottle. He pulled out the stopper, poured out three yellow pills, and drank them all in one breath.

"Quickly send the military doctor to treat Miss Yun's poison!"

Watching Yun Feixue being carried away on a stretcher, Qi Jun felt mixed emotions in his heart, but he did not dare to delay the defense of the city and go back to the city.

The city wall defense battle has entered a fierce stage, and the Tinglei defenders suffered heavy casualties, but they did not ask Xie Mei to attack the city again.

Below the city, the corpses of Scorpion Demons were piled up as high as one person. It looked like there were as many as a thousand, if not two thousand. Outside the moat, there were still 5,000 Scorpion Demons waiting in formation.

Tao Chen rushed to Qi Jun's side: "The kerosene has been transported to the top of the city."

Qi Jun nodded.

The city guards temporarily separated the gap, and buckets of pitch-black kerosene poured down from the top of the city, splashing the faces of the scorpions climbing the city.

After all the kerosene was poured out, dozens of torches were thrown down. The kerosene caught fire as soon as it touched it, causing Scorpion Mei to squeak. She was not burned so much that Scorpion Mei no longer dared to attack hard. She jumped down to the city in disgrace and surrounded her.

Working in a hurry in front of the moat.

In the preparatory formation of the Scorpion Demons, Clone Pomocheno blew a whistle, and the remaining Scorpion Demons under the city retreated from their formation as if they had received a pardon order. The Scorpion Demon brigade retreated one mile, and the first siege of the city came to an end.

At dawn, the noncommissioned officers who took stock of the battlefield came to report.

In this battle, Tinglei City suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and killed 1,300 enemy Xie Mei soldiers.

Qi Jun frowned when he heard this. He first sent an order to strengthen the fortifications to monitor the demon army around the clock, and then asked the martial artists for advice.

Xia Nichuan first said: "I would like to go to Ruoran and ask him to borrow 10,000 cavalry!"

Qi Jun said nothing.

Tao Chen said: "I don't know what the situation is in Bing County. If it also suffers, I'm afraid we can't support it alone."

Kang Zaishan has not recovered yet, but he is still guarding the city. "Looking at the embarrassment of Wanqiang and the others, I am afraid that Bingxian cannot be saved!"

Meng Pengju said: "Now that the northern grassland has been lost, Bingxian County in the east may not be able to escape the disaster. There are snow mountains in the south. Now there is only one retreat on the western front. The city lord needs to prepare early!"

Wang Bing said: "If we go a hundred miles to the west, it will no longer be Daning's territory. It's still a matter of debate whether the vassals in the Western Regions will let us in!"

Zhao Fang said: "That's better than sitting still and waiting for death, right?"

"Why are you just sitting there waiting to die?"

"We still have more than 10,000 warriors, can't we defend the city?"

"As you can see, this monster is very evil!"

"No matter how evil you are, there are flaws!"

Everyone's comments made Qi Jun's head hurt, but no one offered a good strategy to defeat the enemy.
