Chapter 70 Fierce Battle
Chapter 70 Fierce Battle
In the night breeze, Sun Wukong's long staff gleamed with a cold luster under the moonlight, as if it were imbued with endless killing intent.
Behind him, the troops who had carried out the raid either sat against the wall or patrolled back and forth, remaining vigilant at all times.
The soldiers from Qingshan County at the city gate were either killed or surrendered. Before the counterattack from Qingshan County could come, they seized the time to recover their strength.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves, as rapid as a storm, broke the silence of the night.
A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from within Qingshan County, gradually approaching the city gate.
Sun Wukong's eyes sharpened; he knew that the first counterattack by the soldiers of Qingshan County had arrived.
He took a deep breath, gripped the long stick tightly, and prepared to face the approaching storm.
As the soldiers from Qingshan County approached the city gate, the raiding force led by the captain of the Cangzhou army had already occupied the city wall and launched a fierce attack on them.
Arrows rained down from the city walls, landing among the soldiers of Qingshan County. Several soldiers fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
At this moment, the balance of power has shifted!
"General Sun, this counterattack in Qingshan County was hastily assembled."
"I imagine their fighting strength and teamwork aren't very good. I would appreciate it if General Sun could lead the team in a fierce attack."
"This will relieve some pressure on the defense later!"
Seeing that the soldiers from Qingshan County had clearly come in a hurry, the captain leading the raiding force had a flash in his eyes and said to Sun Wukong at the city gate below the city wall.
Immediately afterwards, a small cavalry unit that had not participated in the siege also charged forward, their iron hooves thundering like lightning, shaking the earth.
The target was the soldiers in Qingshan County.
"Haha! No problem, no problem."
"You wait here while I, Old Sun, go and wreak havoc!"
Sun Wukong, who was already preparing to defend, lit up when he heard the captain's words and looked up at the captain with approval.
That's more like it!
A true man should charge head-on into battle!
At this moment, on the other side, the county magistrate of Qingshan County brandished his spear and led his soldiers in a fierce resistance.
Their offensive was fierce and decisive, as if they wanted to tear the enemy apart with force.
Unfortunately, these raiding troops were handpicked by Qin Qiong from among tens of thousands of vanguard troops. They were extremely powerful, well-trained, and coordinated perfectly. Each attack came like a tidal wave.
The battle was extremely fierce. The soldiers of Qingshan County fought with all their might, but were ultimately defeated.
The county magistrate of Qingshan was brave and fearless, but he was ultimately not a hidden genius and did not have the ability to turn the tide like Sun Wukong.
He eventually collapsed to the ground with a heavy punch from a corporal of the raiding force due to exhaustion.
A hint of reluctance and regret flashed in his eyes, but more so, there was determination and resolve.
"Maintain the line, don't panic!"
"The magistrate's main force is on its way!"
He struggled to his feet, brandishing his spear, and continued fighting.
However, reality was harsh; the number of county soldiers that the county magistrate had hastily brought was too small, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.
Under the fierce attack of the raiding army, the Qingshan County troops suffered repeated defeats.
The magistrate stood at the rear, watching the battle unfold at the city gate, his heart filled with anxiety.
But he knew they had no way out; only by retaking the city gate could they have a chance of survival.
He turned to the guards beside him and shouted, "Immediately gather all the city's garrison soldiers and prepare for another attack!"
The guards sprang into action, running swiftly through the town's intricate network of passages to relay the orders to the second batch of county soldiers.
Soon after, more county soldiers began to gather in front of the city gate, forming a dense, dark mass.
This is several times more than what the county magistrate of Qingshan hurriedly brought over before!
"kill!"
The sound of horses' hooves grew closer and closer in Qingshan County. Then, a large number of county soldiers poured out of the county and rushed towards Sun Wukong and his companions at the city gate.
Under the moonlight, their armor gleamed coldly, and the weapons in their hands traced silver trails in the air.
Sun Wukong smiled coldly, swung his long staff, and led the assault troops to meet the enemy head-on.
In an instant, shouts of battle resounded through the sky.
The second and final counterattack against Qingshan County has begun!
This offensive was even fiercer and more resolute. The soldiers shouted as they charged towards the city gate.
Arrows, spears, and broadswords flew through the air, each collision producing a piercing metallic sound.
Blood splattered and flesh flew everywhere; the ferocity of the battle was astonishing.
However, fate did not seem to favor them.
The long staff in Sun Wukong's hand drew amazing arcs in the night sky, sometimes like a raging storm, sometimes like a thunderbolt.
Each swing was accompanied by the screams of the county soldiers and the sound of weapons hitting the ground.
The raiding force behind him was equally formidable; they coordinated closely, outnumbered but outgunned, demonstrating exceptional combat skills and unwavering fighting spirit.
However, the county soldiers had an overwhelming numerical advantage, and their offensive was like a relentless tide.
Although Sun Wukong and the raiding force were incredibly brave, they inevitably suffered casualties.
Furthermore, under the overwhelming force of the Qingshan County soldiers, the number of casualties continues to rise!
Blood gradually stained the ground red, and a strong stench of blood filled the air at the city gate.
At this critical moment of life and death, a thunderous sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the deep forests far away from Qingshan County.
In the distance, a massive figure gradually emerged from the night.
As the sound of horses' hooves grew closer, a torrent of iron broke through the silence of the night.
They advanced in perfect unison, like a Great Wall of steel, their armor gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
Every soldier gripped their weapon tightly, their eyes resolute and sharp, as if they had already foreseen the battle to come.
In the deep darkness of the night, the banners of the vanguard army fluttered in the wind, like a lighthouse in the darkness, guiding the way to victory.
As the cavalry charged, the sounds of war drums and horns mingled together, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
The arrival of the vanguard army instantly changed the situation on the battlefield, bringing unprecedented pressure to everyone in Qingshan County.
Sun Wukong was overjoyed; Qin Qiong's vanguard army had finally arrived!
"charge!"
With the arrival of the vanguard cavalry, the tide of battle turned instantly.
They surged into the enemy ranks like a torrent, unstoppable.
The county soldiers were routed by the enormous force of the attack, and their formation collapsed instantly.
"General Sun, please catch!"
As the vanguard cavalry swept past the raiding force and charged straight at the Qingshan County soldiers on the battlefield.
A cavalryman stopped beside Sun Wukong and tossed him the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff).
"Haha! Thank you, thank you!"
"Follow me, old Sun Chong!"
Sun Wukong took the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) and brandished it wildly, shouting loudly.
He led the remaining raiding force behind the cavalry, charging into the enemy ranks like tigers descending a mountain, scattering the Qingshan County soldiers' lines.
At the same time, Qin Qiong's large army from Cangzhou also officially joined the battlefield.
They flooded into the county town like a flood, driving Qingshan County into a desperate situation.
