Volume 1 Chapter 171 Breaking Jitian City
A violent explosion was heard, and the huge rock weighing nearly a thousand pounds was blown to pieces under Jiang Fei's fists, and a large amount of stone fragments flew out.
Some hit the city wall, some flew into the moat, and only some debris fell down and hit the shields of the siege troops, causing no harm to them.
After the attack, Jiang Fei landed steadily, as if nothing had happened, with just a slight flush on his face.
The dynasty army behind him shouted at this moment: "The general is mighty! The marshal is mighty!"
Three consecutive shouts boosted the morale and strength of the siege troops.
Guo Ziyi, who was on the city wall, covered his chest and gasped heavily, obviously frightened.
He pointed at the city and shouted angrily, "Quick, bring logs and rolling stones, and throw them at me. We must not let them break through the city gate!"
Suddenly, a large number of logs fell down, and a new rolling stone was lifted up, which was just as heavy as the previous one.
But it was too late now, the position of the battering ram was just right, and the soldiers began to push the battering ram, continuously hitting the gate of Jitian City.
Guo Ziyi quickly gave another order: "Quick, hold the city gate tightly for this Marshal. Even if they die, they can't let the city gate break through!"
Behind the city gate were hundreds of soldiers densely packed together, holding up the gate of Jitian City. In this way, the battering rams hitting the city gate had no effect at all.
The newly rolled down logs and boulders were shattered and knocked away by Jiang Fei one after another, but as time went on, his face turned ugly and his breathing became rapid.
Now they are stuck in a stalemate, with both sides pushing and ramming each other. The result will only come when the city gate can no longer bear the pressure and is damaged.
After a while, Jiang Fei's face flushed and he shouted, "Brother, hurry up, I can't hold on any longer!"
The Taixu Qi in his body was almost used up. Once he was exhausted, he would be crushed to death by these boulders and logs without the soldiers on the city wall having to do anything.
Jiang Yue's expression turned ruthless, and he hurried to the back of the battering ram, put one hand on the battering ram, and the Taixu Qi in his body began to condense. Then he let out a low sigh, exerted force suddenly, and slammed the battering ram towards the city gate.
Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the entire Jitian City gate was violently slammed open at this moment. Even the main gate fell off the city wall. The Black Witch soldiers who were blocking the gate behind the city gate screamed, and were knocked away by this huge force and rolled to the ground.
The next moment, the broken city gate collapsed and fell towards them. The Black Witch soldiers gathered here fled far away, but those soldiers who fell to the ground had no time to run out and were directly crushed to death by the huge and heavy city gate!
As soon as he saw the gate of Jitian City was breached, Zhu Qiyu shouted: "All troops, attack! Kill!"
Zhu Qiyu then rode out on his horse and charged at the front. The nearly 300,000 Sun Dynasty troops behind him roared and quickly followed suit.
Is this a siege? No, this is simply entering the city! The city gates have been broken, if they still can't take Jitian City, then they are too useless.
Jiang Fei and Jiang Yue shouted at the same time: "Kill!"
The soldiers of the siege troops followed the two generals and rushed into Jitian City, fighting with the soldiers of the Black Witch Kingdom.
With the two brothers Jiang Yue and Jiang Fei around, these soldiers were no match at all. What's more, these siege soldiers carried shields in their hands and wore heavy armor, making it difficult for ordinary soldiers to deal with them.
So in a short while, the two brothers created a huge gap at the city gate.
Soon, Zhu Qiyu and the army behind him rushed into Jitian City with great momentum, and the battle situation became more fierce and exciting at this time.
Guo Ziyi on the city wall turned pale. No way, he had just been released. Could he be caught again?
No, it won’t!
Guo Ziyi shouted angrily: "I have a million troops in the city, how can I be frightened by these guys!"
"All soldiers, follow this Marshal and fight back together. Kill all these bastards of the Great Sun Dynasty. Kill!"
After Guo Ziyi gave the order, he immediately ran down the city wall and led his army straight to the city gate.
Guo Ziyi was ready to die, and felt tragic and passionate about it, but the generals and soldiers of the Black Witch Kingdom behind him and on both sides did not have such feelings. They all felt that such an act was tantamount to committing suicide.
After all, not long ago, Guo Ziyi went to the battlefield in person, but his performance in front of the enemy general was not as good as that of a small soldier. How could people be loyal and follow him wholeheartedly for a marshal with such combat effectiveness?
And at this time, many people were secretly envious of the soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty, envious of why their generals were so brave and invincible, and so heroic!
In comparison, the marshals and generals on our side are all a bunch of shit!
One million fought against three hundred thousand and they still lost like this, and it was a fucking battle to defend a city. No, calling them shit is an insult to shit!
"Kill, kill! Follow me, Marshal, and fight them to the death!" Guo Ziyi shouted excitedly and madly. He was about to reach the battlefield, and perhaps his life would be as short as it is now.
But as he got closer to the battlefield at the city gate, Guo Ziyi felt something was wrong. Why were there so few shouts of killing behind him? And it seemed that he was the only one shouting and killing crazily!
Guo Ziyi couldn't help but turn his head and look behind him, and found that the generals and soldiers who followed were sparsely populated, and their numbers were not large.
But even the expressions on the faces of those who followed were unnatural, and they obviously looked unwilling.
Guo Ziyi stopped involuntarily and asked with a surprised expression: "What are you doing? Look at the expressions on your faces. Did your father or mother die?"
All the soldiers lowered their heads and said nothing. Only Le Dian whispered, "Marshal, Jitian City can no longer be defended. Let's retreat to Nanshan City while we don't suffer too much loss!"
Another general also said: "That's right, Marshal. Victory and defeat are common in the military. Since we took over the Great Sun Dynasty, we have won every battle. Now it's just a small defeat, it's not worth mentioning!"
"Retreat to Nanshan City, Marshal. There is no need to fight to the death here. We can make plans slowly in the future and we will surely defeat them!"
Logically speaking, after hearing these words, Guo Ziyi should have been extremely angry, but for some reason, he couldn't get angry at this moment. He even felt that what these people said made some sense and he couldn't refute it.
But as he served as a marshal, he had his own principles!
Guo Ziyi asked calmly, "Do you want to be a deserter?"
Le Dian didn't like this word and couldn't help but say, "Marshal, we are not afraid of a fight to the death, but now is not the time to fight to the death, right?"
"We still have Nanshan City, Linyong City, and even Dingnan Pass of the Great Sun Dynasty. We still have enough capital!"
"Even if we want the soldiers to fight to the death, we have to reach the last line first!"
"The loss of the city means defeat. This marshal does not like to be a deserter. If you want to leave, just go. I will not punish you!" Guo Ziyi said angrily.
As soon as these words came out, Le Dian smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said with a cupped hand: "Take care, Marshal!"
Then, without any hesitation, Le Dian led his subordinates all the way south, intending to rush out of Jitian City immediately and return to Nanshan City to take charge of the situation.
Guo Ziyi looked at these departing soldiers coldly. He wanted to see how many of them were willing to be deserters and how many were brave enough to stay and fight with him to defend Jitian City.
As time went by, more and more soldiers left behind him, until there was no one left. Looking at this miserable scene, Guo Ziyi could not help but smile bitterly, feeling that he had failed miserably as a marshal.
After so many years in the army, I don't even have a brother who is willing to live and die with me.
Guo Ziyi closed his eyes and turned the grief and anger in his heart into overwhelming rage and courage. Then he roared and rushed towards Jiang Fei, who was slaughtering the Black Witch soldiers in front of him with his sword.
Jiang Fei, who was waving his spear, suddenly caught sight of Guo Ziyi rushing towards him. He couldn't help but smile, and rushed to him in two steps. He kicked Guo Ziyi, who was roaring, off his horse.
After landing, he kept rolling and Guo Ziyi had no time to get up. Suddenly, a large number of soldiers from the Great Sun Dynasty rushed up from all directions, and put big swords on his neck. Guo Ziyi dared not move anymore.
He just sat on the ground with his hands raised high, feeling very aggrieved and depressed. In short, he was filled with tremendous rage and wanted to fight on the battlefield to vent his anger.
But his strength didn't allow it, he couldn't even survive half a move from Jiang Fei!
He could now finally understand the feelings of the five generals who were beheaded in the previous fight. He was the same as them, except that his status and position were higher. The title of marshal only saved his life.
The marshal was captured again, and the Black Witch soldiers who were still fighting were stunned on the spot, somewhat at a loss.
Turning around to look again, they found that the large army behind them had already started to retreat, and more than half of them had already evacuated. Only they were still foolishly staying here and fighting desperately.
The Black Witch Kingdom soldiers who discovered the truth were all dumbfounded. They felt like fools. Why didn't they receive any news at all after their retreat?
In this situation, they can neither retreat nor advance, as they will die anyway.
Guo Ziyi, who was not far away, roared at this moment: "Soldiers of the Black Witch Nation, don't be afraid. I am here with you. Fight hard and fight to the death with the people of the Great Sun Dynasty!"
After hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Marshal Guo Ziyi who was held up by four or five swords. Their eyes turned red and they roared in anger!
Guo Ziyi was also touched by their emotions. Just when he was about to roar again, he saw that these Black Witch soldiers turned around and ran away tacitly, with no intention of stopping to fight to the death.
Guo Ziyi was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
The next moment he seemed to understand something, and a hot tear involuntarily slid down his stunned face.
At the same time, he was murmured sadly in his heart: "Do you guys really not trust me? I am such a failure."
