Ye Heng saw the old man fall heavily to the ground, and finally showed a relieved expression. Then his eyes went black, he stumbled and almost fell. A white shadow swept by, helping Ye Heng up, and then the white shadow flashed and appeared beside the elder of the Taiyin Sect, the long sword in his hand flashed, cutting off his head.

The Taiyin Sect master in the rebel army rushed out of the camp, and when he wanted to rescue, it was too late, the white shadow and Ye Heng jumped on the war horse together and quickly retreated to their camp, and when they were about to retreat, they kicked on the sword of the Taiyin Sect elder with their toes, and the sword shot straight at Wu Zhenxing, the holy son of the Taiyin Sect, and stabbed into his chest with a "snort", not more than a foot, and the remaining half was exposed outside and trembled constantly.

"How can this be?" Han Kaiyuan looked at the elder of the Taiyin Sect in disbelief, he knew in his heart that this was the number one master in the Taiyin Sect, and the Seven Absolute Swords were his specialty, and in terms of cultivation, he was not the highest in the sect, but in terms of the number of killings, the masters who died in his hands in the rivers and lakes were definitely the most!

However, just today, when Han Kaiyuan dispatched all 80,000 troops to take Pingcheng, and when Han Kaiyuan was full of confidence when he saw the Seven Peerless Swords reappear, this elder of the Taiyin Sect was defeated! Not only was he defeated, but he was also cut off by someone while he was seriously injured and did not die.

Han Kaiyuan's mind was in a mess for a while, and he couldn't decide whether to retreat or fight.

"Kill!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of killing in the gate of Pingcheng, and Li Quan rushed out first, and then led all the troops on standby in the city to pour out of the city gate.

"Kill!" Han Kaiyuan saw that the army of Pingcheng had come out, and more than a dozen masters of the Taiyin Sect who were responsible for protecting him had already rushed out, he couldn't watch these people being overwhelmed by the opponent's army, regardless of whether the morale was high, the sword pointed forward, and gave the order to charge.

"Retreat!" Ye Heng saw the other party attacking, and immediately ordered a retreat.

As soon as Li Quan rushed to the suspension bridge, he saw Ye Heng retreating with his troops. Seeing that Ye Heng was safe and sound, Li Quan roared excitedly, his eyes were red and he endured no tears, immediately stopped his horse, and gave an order to the army behind: "Return to the city, Commander Ye Heng will return safely!"

The officers and men in the city were desperately rushing out of the city, how could they withdraw all at once? Officers at all levels immediately ordered their troops to stop, separate to the left and right, and make way for them.

The two cavalry teams quickly retreated, and when the snow wolf turned around and saw the Taiyin Sect people following, he pulled his horse aside to make way for the cavalry. Shi Jingtian and her have been guarding Ye Heng's side, and when he saw the snow wolf stopping, he also slapped his horse and broke away from the team.

Gao Lang saw it on the city wall, and commanded more than 100 archers in the army to aim at the Taiyin Sect people who were following them, and when they chased them to the bottom of the city, they immediately ordered the arrows to be released.

More than a dozen Taiyin Sect masters fell from their horses one after another in the rain of arrows, and some dodged their bows and arrows, jumped up from their horses, and rushed straight to the drawbridge, seeing that they were about to catch up with the cavalry at the end. At this time, the snow wolf flew over the bridge, the sword light was sheng, and as soon as he made a move, it was his strongest move, and the sword burst out again under the extreme prosperity, blocking all the paths to the bridge.

Screams and screams came from the masters of the Taiyin Sect, some fell backwards, some weapons left their hands, some blood splattered, and some people were even killed on the spot, and everyone was forced back with one move, and none of them were spared!

Before the sword light dissipated, the sword light appeared again, and the sharp sword light chased the retreating Taiyin Sect masters and slashed them, they had just retreated and stood unsteadily, and everyone's faces changed in shock, and they dodged again! Although one person dodged quickly, the hairpin on the top of his head was cut off, revealing the bare top of his head, and he was almost opened, and the strands of his shaved hair were floating in the air; one person covered his chest with his hand, but he could not stop the blood surging wildly, and there was no blood on his face, I don't know whether it was due to excessive blood loss or fright; the rest of the people fell to the ground and rolled continuously, finally avoiding the dangerous situation.

"Come back!" The snow wolf saw Shi Jingtian jumping over him and rushing out, and he wanted to chase and kill with one move, so he immediately ordered him to retreat. The rebel army has rushed in all directions, and if he falls into the enemy, Shi Jingtian will definitely die!

Shi Jingtian immediately returned to the bridge and retreated towards the city gate with the snow wolf. As soon as the two of them retreated, the drawbridge was immediately pulled up, and the surviving masters of the Taiyin Sect were extremely unwilling to withdraw the Pingcheng army safely, and wanted to stop the drawbridge from rising, seeing the woman in white and a swarthy man standing opposite and looking coldly, they had already learned the power of the two, and they didn't dare to act rashly, so they could only watch the drawbridge pull up smoothly.

As soon as Ye Heng entered the city gate, he immediately turned to break away from the team, jumped off the war horse and jumped up the stone steps onto the city wall. At this time, the rebel army had already arrived under the city, and Gao Lang stared at the enemy army that was pouring in like a tide, and did not give any orders. Li Quan, Snow Wolf, and Shi Jingtian appeared at the head of the city one after another, and no one spoke, all of them stared at the army killed under the city.

"Boom!"

The rebels were about to rush to the moat, and the troops who rushed to the front suddenly fell into the trap, wailing and suffering countless casualties!

It turned out that in addition to the distance of five zhang directly in front of the city gate, Gao Lang arranged for people to make traps on the left and right. Of course, these traps were not dug in the open, and the rebels must have sent people to monitor Pingcheng's every move, which undoubtedly told the rebels where they had set up the traps, and it was difficult to play their due role.

The reason why so many people in the city carry soil back and forth every day is because they dug tunnels from the city, hollowed out the ground outside the moat, and put sharp wooden sticks upside down. Reading nests

After the rebel vanguard fell into the trap, Gao Lang ordered all the crossbowmen to release their arrows, because the front army was blocked, the rear army rushed forward, and the rebels were crowded behind the trap for a while, and it was inconvenient to dodge, and the soldiers were killed by arrows.

Seeing this, Han Kaiyuan immediately ordered the army behind to give permission to attack, leaving a certain amount of room for movement in front. The former army erected a long ladder that was supposed to be used to pass through the moat on the trap, and this was able to pass smoothly. However, when it comes to crossing the moat, there are many fewer long ladders, so that the time to reach the city will be extended, the number of people will be reduced, and the crossbowmen in the city will not have to hurry to release their arrows, but can aim more calmly, and the damage to the rebels will be greater!

"Archers shoot enemies through traps, crossbowmen shoot enemies through moats, don't waste arrows, don't rush, aim and shoot!" Gao Lang reminded loudly.

Han Kaiyuan watched expressionlessly as his soldiers made it difficult to reach the city of Pingcheng, although he knew that when attacking the city, it was relatively unfavorable for the besieging party, and casualties were inevitable. However, Pingcheng only abandoned one more trap than other cities, which made it several times more difficult for his side! He sent 10,000 troops, but now more than half of them were killed and wounded by the other side, and there were very few soldiers rushing to the city.

"Mingjin retreats!"

Han Kaiyuan saw that the siege was unfavorable, and immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn. The soldiers who managed to cross the moat were shot and killed by the Heijo army on their return, and the number of people who successfully returned was very small. 10,000 troops were sent to attack the city, and no more than 23 out of 10 returned.

"Surround Pingcheng and cut off the water source!" Han Kaiyuan calmly ordered to arrange an army of 70,000 around Pingcheng. He also sent people to divert the river through Heicheng to cut off the water source in the city. The rebels soon set up camp outside the city of Pingcheng, making it clear that they would be besieging the city for a long time.

"Let's go and rest, there will be no more fighting during the day, and the rebels will probably attack in the second half of the night. Zhou Lang watched the rebels' actions and breathed a sigh of relief.

"How can you see it?" asked Li Quan curiously.

"I don't know who the leader of the rebel army is now, but this person's ability is definitely above Wu Jing! I can't predict how the battle will develop in the future, and there is a chance that he will launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night!" Gao Lang said with certainty.

"General Gao, I really don't know much about how to attack the city and how to defend the city, can you explain it in detail. Ye Heng humbly asked for advice.

"Let's go down and talk. Gao Lang said, leading everyone to the temporary command post under the city, which was very simple, only a few stools, and the most conspicuous thing was a huge map.

As soon as he entered the room, Gao Lang's calm face immediately put away, and said worriedly: "Colleagues, we are in trouble this time, the rebels have changed a very powerful coach, I may not be his opponent!"

"Could it be that he is more advantageous than Wu Jing?" Li Quan wondered. The ancient city where Li Quan was stationed was attacked by Wu Jing, and in his opinion, Wu Jing was already very powerful. Now, Wu Jing has been killed, but a more powerful one has emerged, which makes him difficult to accept for a while.

"Yes, this person is very intelligent, calm and sophisticated, if General Peng is here, he will definitely be able to deal with him, and I am not his opponent. If we still don't have reinforcements, it will be difficult for us to hold Pingcheng. Gao Lang said with a solemn face.

"Senior brother, it's all my fault! If Pingcheng is in trouble, I, Li Quan, will live and die with Pingcheng!" Li Quan felt guilty in his heart and said with great remorse

"Li Quan, we'll talk about your affairs later, let's talk about the new opponent we are facing first. Gao Lang continued, "Today, Brother Ye Heng led his troops to fight, the situation was originally very good, and the morale of the enemy army fell again and again, which was not conducive to attacking the city and fighting again, but the opposite side sent troops to attack the city, which seemed to be a helpless move, I am worried that the enemy commander did it on purpose." I looked closely, and they sent only 10,000 troops. ”

"Yes, and the combat effectiveness of these 10,000 troops is not strong, it seems that the other party deliberately released it for us to kill. Ye Heng nodded and said.

Li Quan suddenly realized and said: "In this way, these 10,000 troops are the bait they use to test us, but we have to fight with all our strength to completely expose our combat power, at least, the lethality of our archers." In this way, they will be on guard against the archers when attacking the city in the future, and the role of the archers will be greatly weakened!"

This siege also exposed the trap we had worked so hard to dig, which was originally intended for the elite troops who rushed to the front, but later it completely lost its effect. What worries me the most is that the opposing coach is deliberately borrowing our hands to reduce the pressure of lack of food and grass for him. If this is the case, it means that the manager is a very level-headed ruthless man who will do anything to win. At the same time, the problem of demoralization was overcome by using the dead soldiers to stir up hatred in the army. It can be said that he has not really made a move, and has quietly taken the initiative, not to mention, the rebels are already in an advantageous position, and I really have no certainty of winning this battle. Gao Lang said worriedly.

"General Gao, you can't deal with him alone, so let's work together to deal with him. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, I don't believe that the wisdom of a group of us is not as good as him alone!" Ye Henghao said without being discouraged.

"Ye Heng is right, the war has just begun, and we have not yet reached the end of the mountain. General Gao, since you speculate that they will attack us in the second half of the night, then you might as well guess how the rebels will attack the city, and wouldn't it be better for us to discuss the corresponding strategies against the enemy together?" The snow wolf stood beside Ye Heng, with an indifferent expression, and said unhurriedly.

The indifference of the snow wolf was like pouring a basin of cold water on everyone's faces, which made everyone's somewhat dizzy minds wake up immediately.
