martial arts general

Chapter 122
Hong Taishan knocked on the door softly, and was quickly heard by Zhao Jiuxiao.

He also stepped forward and opened the door: "General Hong, it's late at night, what's the matter with you?"

Hong Taishan clasped his hands and said: "General Zhao, the scouts sent by the last general have found out that Xuantie Kingdom has sent 80 troops, led by general Ximenhu, to rush straight towards Youzhou City."

Zhao Jiuxiao was a little surprised: "80? Xuan Tieguo seems to want revenge."

Hong Taishan: "That's right, this Murong Kuang is the mad king. It's not surprising that he sent a large army to counterattack now, but the opponent's troops are more numerous than ours, and they are led by the unstoppable Ximen Tiger. Easy to deal with."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "General Hong, in your opinion, how should our army respond?"

Hong Taishan sighed: "I don't know for sure, but the Ximen Tiger is both offensive and defensive. Our army should avoid its edge, refuse to fight, and wait for the opponent to attack. In this way, we can consume a lot of the opponent's food and grass."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "This is a solution, then please go back, General Hong, and discuss this time tomorrow."

Hong Taishan nodded: "Yes, General Zhao."

After he finished speaking, he turned away.

After Hong Taishan left, Zhao Jiuxiao also fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, he called Gongsun Wuji and others to discuss the matter together.

I listened to Sima You's analysis: "The Ximen Tiger should have brought enough siege vehicles when it comes this time. If it is just defense, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend Youzhou City."

Gongsun Wuji: "That's right, our army has to find a way to destroy the enemy's siege objects before we can carry out a war of attrition."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "In this case, I'm afraid we have to rely on the experts from various factions."

Gongsun Wuji smiled and said: "That's right. General Zhao is not only in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, but also the leader of the martial arts alliance. This is the best time to display the strength of the masters of the world."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Okay, I'll write a letter now and let the masters of all factions go to Youzhou City."

Hong Taishan also showed admiration in his eyes: "With General Zhao around, the enemy is not to be feared!"

After the discussion, everyone began to act according to the plan.

Zhao Wuyou recruited enough troops from all over the country to replenish 70 troops.

There was also enough food and grass, which was also transported to Youzhou City.

At the same time, after receiving his letter, the heads of various factions came to Youzhou City to meet Zhao Jiuxiao.

In this way, Zhao Jiuxiao not only has an army of 70 to fight against the enemy, but also has the most elite forces of various factions' masters, and he is already sure of defeating the powerful enemy.

Gongsun Wuji, Xuanyuan Feng, and Sima You were not idle. Instead, they disguised themselves and sneaked into the vicinity of the enemy to investigate.

Half a day later, they returned to Youzhou City.

Gongsun Wuji clasped his hands and said: "General Zhao, I have found out that the main force of the enemy army is 40 tiger and leopard cavalry, and the rest are 20 archers, 20 Xuanjia soldiers, and [-] catapults."

Zhao Jiuxiao pondered: "With such a large number of tiger and leopard cavalry, once they charge, they will probably be unstoppable."

Gongsun Wuji: "Exactly, our army will use a very effective defensive strategy in this battle to block the enemy's cavalry and destroy the enemy's catapults."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "I will send experts from various factions to take advantage of the chaos to come behind the enemy and destroy all the catapults. As for the tiger and leopard cavalry, I will use artillery and archers to deal with them, plus the infantry phalanx, to stop the enemy with all my strength go ahead."

Gongsun Wuji: "General Zhao, besides that, I have a suggestion."

Zhao Jiuxiao said; "Gongsun Shaoxia, please tell me."

Gongsun Wuji: "General Zhao, we can use the strategy of attacking with fire, let the soldiers throw kerosene from the city wall, and then shoot with rockets, turn the city into a sea of ​​flames, and prevent the tigers and leopards from approaching."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "Of course."

In this way, everyone is ready to face the powerful enemy.

Zhao Jiuxiao was also thinking in his mind. Faced with such a fierce general as the Ximen Tiger, he might not be able to destroy him in the first battle. At most, he would be repelled. Therefore, he needed to be prepared for a long-term battle.

As the defender of the city, he has more food and grass.

As for the Ximen Tiger's expedition, if the attack is repeatedly blocked, it will definitely fall into a dilemma, not to mention that Ximen Tiger is arrogant and will not accept failure.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jiuxiao's heart was filled with joy.

Not long after, the black iron army arrived outside the city.

The black ocean has set up camp outside the city, ready to attack at any time.

Ximen Tiger even came to the city, cupped his hands and said: "General Zhao, I'm going to Ximen Tiger, I'm here to meet you."

Zhao Jiuxiao stared at the other party carefully, with many thoughts in his heart.

I saw Ximen Tiger with a big beard, a strong figure, nine feet tall, and two copper hammers on his back, which were extremely heavy, and the armor on his body was not light.

His eyes were also like wild wolves, staring at Zhao Jiuxiao faintly, like watching prey.

Zhao Jiuxiao said with a smile: "General Ximen, you came from a long way, I'm really sorry that I didn't entertain you."

Ximen Hu waved his hand: "No need, after I break into the city, you will have time to kneel down and beg for mercy."

Zhao Jiuxiao smiled slightly: "General Ximen, I'm afraid you are thinking too much."

Ximen Tiger: "I will give you two days to think, and I will attack the city in two days!"

After speaking, he turned and left, full of confidence.

Looking at the figure of the enemy, Zhao Jiuxiao nodded and said, "This General Ximen is really imposing."

Gongsun Wuji: "That's right, judging by his appearance, he should be a person who is strong on the outside but capable on the inside. That is to say, although he looks tough on the outside, he is a bit fragile on the inside. He can't stand defeat. Once he loses to General Zhao, the next thing will be Much easier."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "So that's the case, then I will make him feel bad."

Next, he arranged for the masters of various factions to prepare, and also arranged the defenses in the city, and asked the archers to bring kerosene and throw it out when necessary.

Two days later, the Ximen Tigers launched an attack as promised.

After the 40 tigers and leopards had regained their strength, they rushed towards Youzhou City like wolves and tigers, attacking the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and at the same time.

"Kill!" The shout of killing shook the sky.

At the same time, tens of thousands of catapults also threw boulders and attacked one after another.

"Boom!" These things hit the city wall, killing many soldiers.

But Zhao Jiuxiao didn't panic, but ordered the martial arts masters to fly out of the city while taking advantage of the chaos.

Relying on their own lightness skills, these people quickly crossed the battlefield and came to the sky above the catapult.

Before the soldiers using the catapult could react, they were still killed by various martial arts and died on the spot.

The masters of various factions also destroyed all the catapults and turned them into scrap metal.

At the same time, the archers and artillerymen in the city are also on the move.

Cannons and sharp arrows kept falling, shooting tigers and leopards into sieves and blowing them to the ground.

The archers also threw kerosene under the city.

"Whoosh, whoosh!" The rockets hit one after another.

The kerosene was instantly ignited, and the vicinity of Youzhou City became a sea of ​​flames.

The charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was greatly affected.

The horses, frightened by the flames, abandoned their masters, turned and fled.

The tiger and leopard cavalry who fell on the ground were slow because their armor was too heavy, and their bodies were ignited by the rockets, burning to death.

Standing on top of the city, Zhao Jiuxiao couldn't help but clenched his fists when he saw the situation.
