What surprised him even more was that only not long after the siege of the city, a wooden village as high as three zhang had risen from the ground, stretched out left and right, and reached the west bank of the ditch. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The solid periphery of the wooden village is allowed to set up a watchtower arrow tower every three zhang, and there are more than a dozen such watchtowers. The waterway traffic of the river and the official road near the shore are completely cut off.

Zhou Ning's scalp was numb, and he knew in his heart that Xiang Yu was already imperative to this Yangzhou City at this moment.

I don't know if it is the resonance of Taoist internal strength, Xiang Yu caught Zhou Ning's gaze in the crowd, looked at Zhou Ning with his double pupils, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a grim smile.

Xiang Yu's eyes flashed, and he exhaled and said: "The right talent Xuan Shuai cut off the Yin God, he is really a hero, come and don't be rude, Xuan Shuai also please take my arrow." ”

A terrifying green flame gradually ignited in his eyes, showing that the other party's internal strength was strange and strange.

Xie Zhongxiu whispered in his ear: "It turns out that Xiang Yu is really the descendant of the Heavenly Master Dao, and the green flame in his eyes is the phenomenon of Sun En's 'Earth Law' when he performs the 'Earth Law' in Sun En's 'Yellow Heaven Dafa'. ”

Xiang Yu stretched out his hand and took out a big bow from behind his back, his left hand held the bow body steadily, without trembling, and his right hand was lucky, pulling the big bow of more than 200 catties away.

Xie Xuan looked at Xiang Yu motionlessly, his gaze swept over the hard bow in his hand, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Xiang, you can give it a try." ”

Xiang Yu smiled coldly, moved his left arm slightly, released the five fingers of his right hand, and a feather arrow mixed with terrifying spiral energy flew towards the head of the city wall more than ten meters high.

Hearing only a soft sound of "snort", Xie Xuan turned his face slightly, and this feather arrow brushed the side of Xie Xuan's face and shot through the flagpole on the side, like a defeat, deep into the solid stone wall.

The flagpole fell with a click, and the pins could be heard all around.

The Chu army below erupted into an earth-shattering voice and shouted: "The overlord is brave!" The overlord is brave! ”

Xiang Yu's beautiful hand undoubtedly raised the morale of the Chu army to the peak.

Lu Xiangsheng took a step forward, side by side with Zhou Ning, and said in a low voice: "Little junior brother, you shouldn't still stay in Yangzhou City, it's very difficult to get away now." ”

Zhou Ning frowned slightly and said, "Senior Brother Lu is not optimistic that we can hold Yangzhou City?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "I don't know, I really don't know, Xiang Yu can be called ten thousand enemies in terms of capturing the flag and competing for power on the battlefield, in addition, Xuan Shuai and I can feel that Sun En is lurking nearby, Xuan Shuai and Sun En are both unfathomable masters, the strength is incalculable, which is stronger and which is weak, before seeing the real chapter, it is difficult for God to judge." ”

Zhou Ning nodded.

The autumn breeze is cold, this is the highest point in the city, and the river breeze in front of it blows, and there is a refreshing chill. Zhou Ning slowly paced to the side of the city tower, took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, there was a loud horn sound in his ears, and the cold river wind made his robe tremble.

A few soldiers came up at this time and lit dozens of torches hanging around the city, and lit bonfires at the four corners of the tower.

Xie Xuan let out a cold breath and said: "Now that the enemy army has besieged the city, the people in the city are in chaos, and there are thieves in the city, it is undoubtedly a great hidden danger, Lu Garrison, you immediately send an order, order people to patrol the city, strictly prohibit the people from walking on the streets, anyone who takes advantage of the fire to rob, steal and rob, and spread rumors to confuse people's hearts, be beheaded on the spot, and be sure to ensure that there is no chaos in the city!"

Lu Xiangsheng said respectfully: "This is a matter within the general's responsibility. ”

Xiang Zhou Ning glanced at him, turned around and hurried with a group of subordinates.

Xie Xuan bowed slightly, and said, "Brother Yan, you take people to the warehouse in Yangzhou City as soon as possible, and inform them to send the items used to defend the city, such as rolling wood and stones, to the city walls. ”

Xie Yan arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”

Half an hour later, there was an agitated trumpet sound from the castle tower.

The sound of the war drums of 'Pengpeng' sounded in a series of rapid sounds, and at this time, the drums shook the sky, mixed with the cries and weepings of the refugees outside the city, and the chaos was like the sky falling.

Every few steps above the city wall, there is a bed of winch crossbows, which are combined with two or three bows, and when the crossbow is opened, the crossbow string is fastened to the winch, and the winch is rotated, the crossbow string is opened, and the giant arrow is installed. When firing, the soldier slams the trigger with a sledgehammer and fires the arrow into the distance.

Standing in Zhou Ning's position, he could see the formation of the black-armored sergeants under the city tower slowly moving forward, and with the sound of the horn seemed to sound from all directions, he felt embattled for a while.

Zhou Ning felt Xie Zhongxiu's delicate body beside her tremble slightly, and she said in a low voice: "I heard what Lu Shoubei said just now, Yangzhou City is very likely to be unable to hold it, right?" ”

Zhou Ning stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder, and said softly: "Zixia said: Shang Wenzhi: death and life have life, and wealth is in the sky." Life and death, success or failure, once in hand, Miss Xie does not need to worry too much. ”

Xie Zhongxiu's face flushed, and she sneered and laughed: "I know this sentence, if you know it, you must change it, and you don't have to be too strong in your heart to succeed; If you know that you will die, you don't have to work hard to keep your life. ”

At this time, a hook rope was thrown up from under the city, and Zhou Ning drew a knife from the side and swung it to cut off the hook and rope.

At this moment, there were shouts of killing everywhere, under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, the Beifu army was waiting on the city wall, constantly waving their knives to cut off the hooks thrown under the city, and using sharp arrows to return fire at the city.

In front of Zhou Ning, there were more than a dozen soldiers slowly turning the winch crossbow on the city wall, the winch crossbow slowly opened, and a bowbow like an arm shot to the city, and there was a miserable cry from the city, and then the winch wheel was shaken at both ends, the winch crossbow opened again, and several soldiers hurriedly filled the bow and crossbow.

This kind of city defense tool has the prototype of the bed crossbow in the Song Dynasty, and with the dense archers on the city wall, the lethality is extremely huge.

It was only at this moment that Zhou Ning really felt the breath of war, and deeply felt that he had inevitably fallen into the whirlpool of the times.

He and Xie Zhongxiu also followed the example of the sergeants on the side, wielding long knives and running back and forth on the city wall, cutting some hooks and ladders from time to time.

Xie Zhongxiu said in a trembling voice: "Gongzi Zhou, look, they are coming up!" ”

Zhou Ning looked at the bottom of the city tower and couldn't help but be surprised, how could there be so many people? I saw that the city was full of Chu soldiers wearing black clothes and black armor, and the city wall on the south side was as high as twelve meters high, but this world was so unscientific, they easily threw the twelve-meter-high city wall with hooks and ladders, and for a time the city wall was like an ant, and countless black-clothed soldiers climbed up without fear of death.

Behind this group of first-class deceased soldiers, there were a large number of Chu army archers running back and forth to shoot arrows upwards to cover their siege of the city, and the archers in the city also continued to shoot arrows back, but the enemy was outnumbered, although there was a convenient location, it was still suppressed to the point that he could not raise his head, and from time to time an archer was shot by an arrow, and fell downstairs with a wail.

After a while, in the dense crowd of enemy troops, more than a dozen towering ladders appeared on the city wall.

At this time, Xie Yan led more than 200 people to rush to the city, and brought some sandalwood rolling stones and boiling lime, Xie Yan shouted: "Du Fuwei's troops are in a hurry to attack the city at the north gate, my eldest brother has rushed to the north gate, and there is no danger in coming to the north gate." Don't panic, everyone, guard the city walls! ”

There was a sudden alarm in my heart.

Zhou Ning closed his eyes, ruled out all thoughts, and immediately felt that someone was sneaking up from the bottom of the city wall, this person was the most skilled martial artist he had encountered except for Xie Xuan, Zhu Bugui and several other super masters.

A burly giant man jumped onto the city wall, and immediately more than a dozen Beifu soldiers rushed over.
