Chapter 46, The Great Army Siege of the City

The handsome Zhang Qing snatched the bows and arrows of the soldiers around him, and Zhang Gong shot down the thin monkey with an arrow, and the red flag flashed away!

Heaven and earth were silent for a while......

Suddenly, shouts of killing rang out, drums shook the earth, and the prelude to the war finally began!

The Western Xia army rushed to Dali City like a tide, and the arrows on the city wall rained down, and the siege soldiers fell into the moat one after another......

Outside the city, the rhythm of the war drums suddenly changed, and a black-armored tiger army lined up, accompanied by a hundred stone throwers, two hundred giant crossbows, and countless ladders!

"Everyone, stay out of the way!"

"No matter how fierce the enemy attack is, they will eventually climb the city, so we must save our lives before we can kill them!"

Under the commander's loud warning, all the soldiers on the city wall squatted against the wall, and the state army in the city looked for private houses to hide, Niu Ben ordered the pikemen to quietly put down their spears......

At this moment, time became very long, as if to stop, the first thing that broke the silence was the strange sound of wind across the sky, some as sharp as a flute, some deep as a flute, and some rolling like thunder......

The soldiers and civilians of Dali saw a terrible scene that they had never seen before: huge boulders and hideous giant arrows flew overhead, covering the sky and the sun, like black clouds covering their heads!

"It's like a meteor shower!" A soldier said dumbfoundedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Get down!"

"Run!"

The soldiers on the city wall shouted to the city, but unfortunately the sound was drowned out by a loud rumbling noise, and the dust mixed with the ruins and broken walls rose into the sky, the roads disappeared in an instant, and the houses were shattered in an instant! Giant arrows more than three people tall plunged deep into the ground, forming a terrifying forest of despair!

The soldiers and civilians in the city were terrified and fled in all directions, but instead became a live target, shrouded in the dust of death! The bluestone pavement is stained red with blood, the road is full of corpses, the injured are desperately struggling on the ground, and the people who go to the rescue are often smashed flat by boulders and pierced by giant arrows!

The meteor shower is very beautiful in the sky, and when it falls to the ground, it becomes a disaster, turning the city of Dali into a terrible hell on earth.

The living have not had time to shed tears for the dead, and the Western Xia army has already launched a fierce siege!

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”…… Countless iron hooks were thrown up outside the city walls, and some soldiers were caught alive by the iron hooks before they could dodge.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! “…… Dense ladders framed the city wall, and the sharp tips of knives emerged from the battlements.

The meteor shower was replaced by a dazzling swarm of rockets, and the city was suddenly reduced to a sea of fire......

"Where's the lieutenant?" The marshal Zhang Qing roared loudly, "Let the enemy also taste the taste of stone throwers and giant crossbows!" “

Yang Yu was ordered to retreat quickly......

Chu Lianjun, the general of the East Gate, responded calmly to the battle, commanding four thousand Yang Mansion troops to greet the siege army with bows and swords, rolling logs, and rolling stones!

The state army in the city was ruthlessly hit by the meteor shower, with more than half of the casualties, and the remaining more than 2,000 people were red-eyed, running up the city wall to participate in the battle like crazy, and kept shooting revenge arrows outside the city!

The Siege Vanguards are the mighty Black-Armored Tiger Army, who climb and jump on ladders and are more agile than monkeys! They grabbed the climbing hook and swooped upwards, faster than the cheetah! Ordinary soldiers simply could not hurt them......

At the moment when the first batch of Tiger Ben troops were about to climb the city wall, a thousand white-pole spears suddenly stabbed out from behind the city wall, as clean as a toothpick removing the residue between the teeth, and pierced the chests of five hundred Tiger Ben warriors with the first shot!

Niu Ben's surprise attack disrupted the enemy's offensive, and the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted!

A large number of Western Xia soldiers fell from the thick cyan city wall of Dali City, looking like dead leaves swept away by a gust of autumn wind from a distance!

The Western Xia army did not flinch, the people in front fell, and the people behind stepped on the corpses to advance, and even the moat was gradually filled, and their crazy and fearless momentum made people's hearts tremble. Under the continuous strong attack, a force finally managed to climb the city wall, and immediately encountered the stubborn sniping of Chu Lianjun and the young swordsman of Qianfu......

At this moment, five tall towers were launched outside the city, which were divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower, the lower level was equipped with wheels, and was propelled forward by fifty strong soldiers, the middle layer was thirty strong crossbowmen, and the upper level was twenty javelin-throwing pitchers!

This is a siege army...... Siege Towers!

They pounced like five huge monsters with teeth and claws, followed by a black army!

In the tent of the commander of the Western Xia military camp, Tuoben sat leisurely and asked casually: "The east gate is about to end, I don't know how the battle is at the north gate?" “

"The north gate hasn't started yet," the military advisor whispered softly, "Hehe, maybe you won't need it!" ”

"Yuanba dares not to attack on time, see how I clean him up after I take the east gate." Tuoben exhaled softly, although he was annoyed, he didn't take it to heart, "It's very good that a small Dali country can resist my 200,000 army for so long!" “

"Wait until the siege tower is pushed over, hehe! In an hour at most, you can break through the East Gate! The military advisor smiled sweetly flatteringly, and his small eyes couldn't smile, "Dali Guo is probably still immersed in the joy of defeating the prince, and he definitely wouldn't have thought that our army has quietly changed the commander and attacked quickly, and the marshal's move is like the battle of Changping in which Wu Anjun rose in vain!" ”

He stared at the map of Dali hanging on the wall, his confident eyes stayed at the Cangshan Mountain, and said to himself: "Tuoba is buried at the height, but you can see how I can break through the city of Dali!" ”

"Why hasn't it rained yet!" Seeing the slowly approaching siege tower, Zhang Qing couldn't wait, "Quick!" Go get some black oil. “

A team of tiger ben troops secretly climbed the city wall, Chu Lianjun and Niu Ben were trapped in a bitter battle and could not get out, the young swordsman rushed over to intercept them, and after most of the battle was killed, they gradually became unable to support the crisis.

Seeing this, the state army rushed over to join the battle, although their martial arts were not strong, but their strength was amazing, and after being wounded, they still firmly grasped the enemy's weapons, and their companions pounced on them like wolves to fight!

"Marshal, the weapon is in place!" Yang Yu finally appeared.

"See those five siege towers?" Zhang Qing dragged him over and pointed his finger forward, "You must destroy it immediately!" “

"No problem!" Yang Yu held two command flags, one yellow and one red, and stood in front of a siege tower, pointing to the sky with a red flag and a yellow flag to the ground.

Seven stone throwers and eight giant crossbows were fired at the same time, turning the army behind a siege tower outside the city into a wave.

The second time, Yang Yu raised the yellow flag a little higher, "Boom! Boom! Boom! ”…… The second wave of attacks hit the bull's-eye, and the siege tower staggered like a drunken drunk, and with a loud "boom", it fell to the ground and shattered, crushing the army behind it with heavy casualties!

"Well done!" After Chu Lianjun, who was covered in blood, praised loudly, he rushed to Zhang Qing, "Big brother, I can guard the east gate, you go to Huyan Xiaofeng to have a look!" “

"This kid has a lot of ideas, and it's never easy to suffer," Zhang Qing took a breath of relief, his eyes blazing, "East Gate...... That's where it matters! “

"Okay, our brothers and sisters are fighting side by side!" Chu Lianjun turned around and went into battle again.

With a few loud "booms", the four siege towers were reimbursed by Yang Yu, and the last one was too close to the city wall, and the stone throwers and giant crossbows could not be hit, and this monster condescendingly spread to the city to die, and a large number of defenders fell under the javelins and arrows.

Saying that it was too late, Qin Muxue Pegasus arrived and threw out two large barrels, splashing the tower with black oil with a "pop", and she opened her bow and arrows to shoot three rockets in one breath. The giant tower turned into a ball of sky-high fire in a blink of an eye, and the burning men on it jumped down one by one, and the tragic situation after the fire burned violently made the besieging enemy troops avoid it, and they all made a detour!

"What?! Yuan Ba and the North Gate Keeper will duel outside the city! Tuoba jumped up from the tiger's seat in a fit of rage, "No wonder the east gate is progressing so slowly, it turns out that he hasn't attacked the city yet!" Call him to me at once...... No! I'm going to cut him down myself!" “

"What?! Huyan Xiaofeng duels with people on the suspension bridge! Hearing the battle report of the North Gate, Zhang Qing couldn't believe his ears.

Where did Princess Xiaobai go during this time? It turned out that she woke up in the morning and disappeared from her friends, so she heard from her grandmother that Huyan Xiaofeng was at the north gate, and when she rushed to arrive, Huyan Xiaofeng was still sleeping, and she was so angry that she poured a large basin of cold water on his face......

"You little devil, you are a pot of porridge everywhere, but you are still in the mood to sleep here, why don't you hurry up and kill the enemy for me!" After speaking, he kicked him with his feet, kicked his toes and toes swollen, frowned and muttered "ouch, ouch", and kept shouting when he touched the sore spot, "It really hurts me to death." “

Huyan Xiaofeng lazily opened his eyes, stretched out and walked out of the tent, yawned and asked, "Now...... What's the situation? “

One of the adjutant generals replied hurriedly: "General Huyan, the enemy army is preparing to attack the city!" “

Huyan Xiaofeng looked up, and many ladders were really pushed out outside the city, and the morale of the enemy army was high, and they were ready to attack.

"Open the gates!" Just hear him shout.

"What?!" The three lieutenants looked stunned and stunned.

"Open the gates...... Put down the drawbridge! Huyan Xiaofeng said again impatiently.

"Uh...... General...... This ......" lieutenants were completely stunned and at a loss.

"I'll borrow your spear, go and carry out the order!" Huyan Xiaofeng grabbed the iron spear in the hand of a deputy general and walked down the city wall, waving to Xiaobai as he walked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you can enjoy how I kill the enemy at the head of the city." “

Xiaobai nodded, applauded and smiled: "Hehe, this is good, I will cheer you on at the head of the city!" “

The three lieutenants turned their heads to look at Xiaobai...... Look down at Huyan Xiaofeng...... Look at me...... I'll look at you...... Completely stupefied......

"Which one are you singing? When this is the stage to sing? They all thought the same thing.

"Open the gates!" Huyan Xiaofeng rode a horse and stood at the gate of the city, shouting for the third time.

"I can't care so much, he is the general of the North Gate, so he can only listen to him." One of the lieutenants opened the city gate in a panic.

"Drop the drawbridge!" Huyan Xiaofeng then shouted again.

The lieutenants obediently put down the drawbridge, Huyan Xiaofeng hit his horse and stepped on the drawbridge, facing the sassy cold wind, and shouted at the enemy troops outside the city: "...... Hey, Western Xia barbarians! Send someone to duel with Grandpa, and let you go into the city as long as one of you can overcome me!" “

The lieutenants fainted directly after hearing this......

"General Huyan, you can't lose!" One of the lieutenants leaned against the city wall to support his limp legs, and shouted out of the city with anxiety.

"Don't worry! Except for me, no one else in this world is the opponent of General Huyan. Xiaobai kindly comforted.

The heads of the deputy generals exploded again, the three of them looked at each other, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, Xiaobai's martial arts had been seen in Chongsheng Temple that day, she had to make two moves with the abbot, and indeed only two moves...... It's defeated!

As soon as the Xixia side translated Huyan Xiaofeng's words, the army exploded, the generals were so angry that they screamed, and the main general Yuanba was also angry!

A general couldn't help but say, and rushed to the north gate with a long knife in his hand!

Huyan Xiaofeng stood calmly on the suspension bridge, and when the enemy general approached, he easily stabbed with an iron spear in his left hand...... After the enemy general held a long knife in his hand and blocked with a "bang", he swung his knife like lightning and slashed over, seeing that Huyan Xiaofeng was about to hit the ground......

"It's over! Close the gates! One of the lieutenants cried out in horror.

Between the lightning and flint, Huyan Xiaofeng let go of the spear in his left hand, and pulled out a dazzling cold light with his right hand, only to hear a "plop" sound, and the enemy rolled the head off the moat!

On the north city gate, the officers and soldiers of the Yang Mansion competed to applaud and were excited!

The majesty of General Huyan is unique for a while!

"Just now...... Who is clamoring to close the gates? Xiaobai turned his head triumphantly to look at the three lieutenants, who hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to say another word.

Yuan Ba was so angry that he stomped his feet, and was about to fight in person, when another fierce general flew out of the army, holding two big hammers and screaming and rushing towards the suspension bridge, but in the blink of an eye, he was slashed by Huyan Xiaofeng again!

There is no shortage of heroic people among the Tangut people, especially when they hear the harsh cheers coming from the other side's city wall, so the battle between the two armies has become a one-on-one confrontation between the generals of the two armies, and the siege battle will not be fought for a while and a half......

"Do you have any alcohol?" Xiao Bai lazily stretched out a hand, a little soldier hurriedly respectfully untied the wine bag at his waist and handed it over, she raised her hand and threw the wine high into the city, deliberately screaming and shouting: "General Huyan!" This seat will give you a bag of good wine, cut him a few more after drinking, and finish the work as soon as possible! “

When the Tangut people heard this, they couldn't sit still, and they even lined up for the duel, and some even fought for the order of the queue, and the army became a mess.

At this time, the Western Xia commander Tuoben failed to attack the city at the east gate, and he rushed to the city angrily after hearing the news of the duel at the north gate, and without saying a word, he put the main general Yuanba on the spot, and sent people to pass the first three gates to set an example, and strictly ordered the three armies of the east gate, north gate, and south gate to attack the city with all their might!

Huyan Xiaofeng had to enter the city when he saw that he had no fun to play, and when he returned to the city wall, the defenders of the north gate worshiped him as a god, and the morale of the whole army skyrocketed!

Several fierce generals were all killed, and Huyan Xiaofeng became a lingering nightmare in the hearts of Western Xia soldiers, even if the main general Yuanba was killed by Tuoba Ben, the army was never able to boost morale.

The battle of the north gate of Dali City finally began, but the fight was not fierce, and the Xixia people often ran away in fear when they saw Huyan Xiaofeng, and the morale of the officers and soldiers fell to the freezing point.

The battle at the south gate started a little earlier, and the general Red Blood commanded a steady defense, and the enemy's combat effectiveness was also weak, so it was repulsed once the attack was made. Red Blood almost opened the city gate and rushed out to slash and kill, but he remembered Zhang Qing's advice and didn't dare to go out lightly.

There was no war at the West Gate, and the general Zhao Bingyao was restless when he heard the fierce battle at the Three Gates, and was so anxious that he paced back and forth at the head of the city, and finally couldn't help but send a thousand elite soldiers to reinforce the East Gate, and ordered the soldiers to bring two more bags of arrows.

The battle at the East Gate was fierce, more than half of the officers and soldiers defending the city were killed and wounded, all four lieutenants were killed, only three young swordsmen remained, and the army had only 4,000 people left to continue fighting......

The enemy army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, but it was still frantically climbing the city, repelling wave after wave, and it was like a chicken blood that could not stop at all......

Four stone throwers in the city were destroyed, and the giant crossbows were all intact due to their flexible mobility and ease of dodging, so in order to preserve their strength, Zhang Qing ordered them to be hidden again.

"Marshal, do you want to transfer the patrol battalion to the battlefield?" Qin Muxue participated in the battle of the East Gate alone, without bringing a single soldier.

"The patrol battalion can't be used unless it's a last resort," Zhang Qing cut down an enemy soldier who had climbed the city, and said breathlessly, "Fortunately...... The pikemen did not suffer much losses! “

As the sky got dark, the enemy launched another round of fierce attacks, and the defenders of the East Gate fought fiercely for a day without even eating a mouthful of food, and their physical strength gradually became exhausted. Fortunately, Simon's 1,000 elite soldiers arrived at this time and successfully repelled the enemy army.

Outside the city, the troops began to be collected, and the enemy army "roared" as birds and beasts dispersed, and the silence of heaven and earth immediately returned to death!

For the people in the city, the day has finally passed!
