Chapter 961 Breaking the door!
"Si Ruokong is dead!"
There was a roar, like a loud thunder.
At this time, Li Cunxiao on the other side, after killing Si Ruokong with three moves, immediately locked his eyes on the old man in golden armor and with white hair and beard at the front of the city wall - Si Cangqiong.
Si Cangqiong, who had already been filled with grief and anger, had no expression on his face at this moment. He had heard of Li Cunxiao's reputation and knew that his martial arts power was extraordinary.
He took a deep breath, tightly grasped the sword inlaid with red gold in his hand, lightly tapped the ground with the tip of the sword, and surrounded by sword energy, ready to face this life-and-death battle.
"Stop being so arrogant, you traitor!"
Si Cangqiong roared angrily, and the sword flashed like a rainbow, going straight for Li Cunxiao.
The two men fought in an instant, their spears and swords intertwined, and the strong energy overflowed. On the city wall, sand and stones flew, and the whole place was in chaos.
However, Li Cunxiao's martial arts strength has reached the peak at this moment. Every move and every style contains the power to create the world. Although Si Cangqiong, who has reached the limit of half-step to heaven, is also one of the few people standing at the top of Tianwu Continent, he did not expect that he would encounter the most powerful martial arts in Tianwu Continent!
Si Cangqiong was gradually suppressed and could only rely on his deep inner strength and rich combat experience to hold on.
"Old man, today is your end!"
Li Cunxiao let out a long roar, and swung out the King Yu's Spear suddenly. The tip of the spear brought up a tornado and headed straight for Si Cangqiong's face.
Si Cangqiong had no way to avoid it and could only take it head-on. The sword and spear collided, making a deafening metallic sound. Si Cangqiong's body swayed and he was almost shaken off the city wall.
As Si Cangqiong was suppressed by Li Cunxiao and roared continuously, the city wall of Qiandu, which had lost Si Ruokong and the two guards of Qianlong under the command of Si Cangqiong, was in chaos.
They were already frightened by the fierce attack of the Yellow Turban warriors, and now seeing their two main generals in desperate situation, their morale plummeted.
The frequency of defending the city was greatly reduced, the rain of arrows became sparse, the rolling logs and thunder stones also decreased a lot, and the resistance of the city walls became weaker and weaker.
Some soldiers even began to flee in panic, and obvious cracks appeared in the defense line on the city wall.
At this moment, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army and the Yellow Turban strongmen who were attacking fiercely under the wall of Qiandu was greatly boosted when they saw this.
Seeing this, Meng Zhang, who was commanding the rear, curled up a smile and waved the flag in his hand, and the actions of the Yellow Turban warriors changed accordingly.
The Huang Tian Dharma image that was originally attacking the city wall suddenly dissipated, turned into streams of spiritual energy, and returned to the formation.
The Yellow Turban warriors quickly adjusted their tactics and split into two groups.
One part continued to attack the city wall along the ladders, holding huge axes and wearing heavy armor, rushing to the top of the city like a tide. Every time they swung their axes, they had the power to split mountains and rocks. The defenders were frightened and retreated one after another.
Another part of the Yellow Turban strongmen carried huge battering rams, which were jointly made by the craftsmen of the Mohist and Gongshu schools of thought. The special thing about the rams was that they were not only huge in size and weighed thousands of pounds, but also had an exquisite structure and were equipped with complex mechanical devices inside.
The hammer head is made of fine iron and has runes engraved on the surface, which can enhance its destructive power on the city walls. The hammer handle is several feet long and made of tough wood. The middle part is equipped with a pulley set, allowing dozens of Yellow Turban strongmen to shake it together, lift the siege hammer high, and then smash it down suddenly.
The special function of this battering ram lies in its enormous impact and destructive power. Once it hits the city wall, even the extremely heavy Qiandu city gate will find it difficult to withstand it.
"drink!"
Dozens of Yellow Turban warriors shouted in unison and shook the battering ram with all their strength. The hammer head was raised high, then drew an arc in the air and slammed into the city gate. "Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the extremely heavy city gate made of fine iron below Qiandu City began to tremble violently, dust rose up, and tiny cracks quickly spread.
The Yellow Turban warriors swung the battering ram again and again, and each blow made the city gate shaky.
The defenders on the city wall were in chaos at this time and had no time to care about the safety of the city gate. Only a small number of Qianlong guards were still holding their positions and could only watch the battering ram hit the city gate again and again, their hearts filled with despair.
At the same time, on the wall of Qiandu, as more and more Yellow Turban troops climbed up the wall through the gap opened by Li Cunxiao, the battle became more and more intense.
Xiong Kuohai charged and killed on the city wall with great enthusiasm, holding a copper stick in his hand. Wherever he passed, there was chaos. He laughed at an unusually loud voice, the sound was like thunder, and it frightened the defenders.
"Old Qiao, you guys keep killing people on the wall. I, Old Bear, will go down there!"
Xiong Kuohai shouted loudly and led a part of the Yellow Turban Army to rush down the city wall and head towards the city gate. They were unstoppable all the way. The defenders, who had long lost the will to fight, were unable to organize any effective resistance.
This made Xiong Kuohai even more excited. Once the gate of Qiandu was opened, the Yellow Turban Army would be able to march straight in and capture Qiandu in no time.
The Yellow Turban Army behind him, led by Xiong Kuohai, were equally brave and surged towards the city gate like a tide.
Although the defenders of Chenglou City put up a desperate resistance, they were gradually defeated under the fierce attack of the Yellow Turban Army, and could only watch helplessly as the Yellow Turban Army approached the city gate step by step.
At the same time, the Yellow Turban warriors below the city wall were also attacking the city gate with all their might. The battering rams hit the city gate again and again, and the cracks on the city gate became more and more numerous and larger.
Behind the city wall, Xiong Kuohai's face was purple and red with an unruly heroic spirit, his curly beard fluttering in the wind. He led a team of Yellow Turban Army behind him, and like an unstoppable torrent, he charged straight towards the city gate.
Behind the city gate, in order to resist the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, the defenders piled up various giant stones, rolling logs, sandbags, iron chevaux de frise and other obstructions, layer upon layer, like an indestructible barrier. But now in front of Xiong Kuohai and the Yellow Turban Army behind him, all this is in vain.
"Haha, these things also want to block the way of me, the old bear?"
Xiong Kuohai laughed loudly and then waved his hand. The Yellow Turban Army behind him immediately took action and quickly dispersed. Some worked together to move boulders, some dragged rolling logs with ropes, and some carried sandbags on their shoulders.
For a moment, there was chaos behind the city gate, with dust flying everywhere and shouts of killing shaking the sky.
Xiong Kuohai himself took part in the battle. His large hands, like iron pliers, easily grabbed a corner of a huge rock. With a deafening roar, he lifted the rock up by himself, and then threw it hard. The rock was hurled far away like a cannonball.
"General Xiong is so strong!"
The Yellow Turban Army cheered and their morale was boosted.
With everyone's joint efforts, the obstructions behind the city gate were quickly cleared.
Finally, the five horizontal bars made of fine iron above the city gate appeared in front of Xiong Kuohai and others.
Each of these five horizontal bars was extremely thick, like five iron dragons, firmly locking the city gate.
