As soon as the hour passed, a light moon rose in the clear and cloudless sky, and the wind that had been blowing since noon also stopped, and the bleak autumn night was about to begin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a while, it suddenly began to rain in the clear night sky, and the raindrops were finely connected, and in half an hour, the rain gradually became heavier.

Although the soldiers have been fighting fiercely in the past few days, as the core of Yangzhou City, the east of the city has not been greatly impacted. Especially in Xiantao Lane, it was late at night, and several patrolling soldiers walked by in twos and threes.

Zhou Ning took Kou Xu and the others tired back to the Xie family's mansion in Xiantao Lane. It was no different from what Kou Zhong said, Kou Xu and the others had already come into contact with the edge of the Innate Realm at this moment, but it was a little strange that he could vaguely perceive that their true qi did not seem to be inferior to the quality of the Innate Realm. These two Xiaoqiang are really freaks.

Arranged for them to stay in the guest room next to him, Zhou Ning returned to his room, during the day, his right arm, left shoulder and waist were slightly injured, fortunately it was not too serious. After asking a few maids, I learned that the west of the city, where Xiantao Lane is located, has not been affected by the bandits today, and everything is fine. After hurriedly washing up and bandaging a few maids, Zhou Ning looked at the hour, it was almost a moment, whether in ancient or modern times, it was almost time to sleep.

Opposite the mansion where he lives is a martial arts hall, and from time to time there is a sound of martial arts training, which is no different from modern times, but it has stopped a lot in the past two days. Glancing at the martial arts hall opposite from the window, the lights were already out. Zhou Ning smiled and was about to blow out the oil lamp, when at this time, Zhou Ning heard countless footsteps outside the fence.

When I went out, the courtyard was already relatively quiet, and there was a low and rapid scream on the street outside, and the lights of the martial arts hall next door turned on, and then went out again, obviously the other side didn't want to meddle. Zhou Ning took a deep breath, the sound of Xi Suosuo's footsteps came from the street outside, Zhou Ning lightened his steps and gently tiptoed to the wall.

Kou Xu and the others also probed out at the same time, and cast their puzzled eyes on Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning made a shushing gesture at them and looked outside the wall.

Is this the case that someone is looking for trouble?

At this time, the sound of gongs and shouts outside gradually sounded, but the percussion sound was completely unmoved, but became more and more urgent, and Zhou Ning's heart gradually became anxious. The lights of the mansion were also on, and the maid Siqi rubbed her eyes and walked out blankly, and then woke up like a dream with wide eyes and let out an exclamation. Several nurses rushed out and looked out vigilantly.

"Who is it?"

As soon as he opened the courtyard door, a shiny cold light stabbed at him.

Zhou Ning was startled, and hurriedly lifted his qi to lighten his body, and the true qi of the Immortal Jue quietly ran all over his body, and his body seemed to be powerless, and flew backwards.

The sneak attacker obviously didn't expect that the attack would be missed, and he didn't realize that he exclaimed, "Huh! sighed, and praised: "Sure enough, it's no wonder that General Yingbu will die at your hands." ”

Zhou Ning snorted lightly, pulled out his knife, and took advantage of the momentum to move forward quickly, slashing down on the spot.

"Ding!"

With the long sword in his hand, the person who came lightly blocked Zhou Ning's fierce knife full of immortal essence true qi.

"Bang!"

At this moment, there was a dull knocking sound on the courtyard walls on both sides of the mansion, as if someone was striking with a huge log, and at first glance, it sounded like being in an old-fashioned dilapidated warehouse.

Zhou Ning looked to the sides with a sinking face, and only heard countless rustling footsteps in his ears, as if there were countless enemies lurking in the shadows. At this time, the person was forced to retreat by Shen Cheng's sword, and he withdrew from the courtyard, his clothes fluttering, and he was the suspected young man Han Xin he had seen yesterday.

"Are you...... Han Xin or Xiang Zhuang? Zhou Ning frowned and asked.

"In the next village, the auditor." The young man said softly: "Brother Zhou is both civil and military, and he can be called a genius today, but it's a pity that today, you are afraid that you will die here." ”

Xiang Zhuang? The legendary first swordsman of Western Chu? Zhou Ning looked at Xiang Zhuang with an awe-inspiring face, with his half-hung knife technique, he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with this person.

The long sword in Xiang Zhuang's hand conjured a delicate arc, with purple light, and stabbed over.

Zhou Ning dodged sideways. At this moment, there was a dull knocking sound in his ears, and the solid courtyard walls on both sides gradually crumbled.

After fighting, Zhou Ning gritted his teeth, the long knife in his hand suddenly shiny, slashing at the opponent's sword.

This move made the antelope hang its horns, Xiang Zhuang was slightly sunny, retreated a few steps, and dodged Zhou Ning's knife momentum. A backhand stab with a sword.

At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of whirring, Zhou Ning turned his head in shock, and just saw more than a dozen black-clothed men stepping on the raindrops and jumping into the courtyard from the tile surface of the opposite house. Then they spread out and surrounded the corridor.

Zhou Ning was slightly stunned, and suddenly only heard a "boom", the tiles fell one after another, and on the roof, the pouring rain poured down, and a rough man suddenly jumped down, and said with a smile: "Where don't we meet in life, Brother Zhou, we meet again." ”

Zhou Ning looked at the big man, his heart sank slightly, and he said in a condensed voice: "Zhong Lifu? ”

At this moment, the situation in the arena was extremely dangerous, regardless of the people outside the wall, these more than ten black-clothed men had actually set their eyes on him, he took a deep breath, looked at Zhong Liwu, and frowned.

"Why are the two generals so excited?"

Zhong Limo laughed and said, "It's just that you are too surprised to be brilliant and stand in our way!" Ha, I am thinking about an acquaintance, Brother Zhou, do you have any last words to keep? ”

Faced with this dilemma, Zhou Ning's heart was awe-inspiring. This group of bandits came to the door, but it was actually an unexpected thing, could it be that they really wanted to die in the hands of Xiang Yu as said in history?

At this moment, the knocking sound outside the wall became more and more intense, and suddenly the bricks and stones were splashed, and the brick wall on one side of the mansion had collapsed.

Everyone in the audience was already panicked, and at this moment, they couldn't help but raise their eyes in unison, and their hearts were shocked.

I saw an extremely burly giant man, carrying a huge tree in his hand, running over quickly. This giant tree weighs more than 1,000 catties, and the wood is equipped with an iron hook, which is difficult for him to lift.

Suddenly, there was a shout, and the giant tree in his hand was thrown at the same time, making a loud 'bang', and the momentum was really amazing.

The giant wood flew over with the sound of the whirring wind, and when it landed, three guards could not dodge, and were crushed under the huge wood thrown over, turning into a mess of flesh.

The giant man waited until the giant tree hit the ground and stood up straight, looking at Zhou Ning, with a cold killing intent projected in his eyes.

"Zhu Hai?" Zhou Ning couldn't help but exclaim.

…………

In Sun Tzu's Art of War's "Xiongcheng City", cities are divided into two categories: castles that live on high places or backed by mountains and have good water sources are called "Xiongcheng", which are very difficult to conquer; Those who live in low places, or between two mountains, or have their backs to the valleys, and the water and grass are not abundant, are called "Qicheng", as long as they have enough strength, they will be broken in one attack.

Yangzhou City is a typical "Xiongcheng", Yangzhou City is rich in the world, and the protective facilities in the city are built according to the strictest standards in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which are solid and solid. The city wall is thick and high, and there are elite Beifu troops on the city wall, so even though the Chu army is numerous and the world-famous Xiang Yu is sitting in the army, there is still no sign of breaking the city.

In the earth-shattering drums of war, another day's offensive and defensive battles are about to come to an end.

In the dark night, the war drums were noisy, and the Chu army below rushed forward with shields under the cover of torches, rushed straight to the other side of the moat, and hid behind the shields.

Xie Xuan gave a loud order, and the crossbow cart on the city wall creaked and turned, and the tip of the crossbow shone with a sharp light. Each bolt takes one or more lives.

On this day, the Chu army, with heavy casualties, finally succeeded in building two temporary wooden bridges across the moat, moved ladders to attack the city, and slammed the city gate with giant logs.

Under the command of Xie Xuan, the Beifu army returned fire with arrows and stones, and used crossbows and long hooks to deal with the enemy's climbing, and poured boiling oil down, killing and wounding nearly 2,000 enemies, before the Chu army retreated, guarding only two wooden bridges. The Beifu army also killed more than 70 people and wounded more than 100 people.

Just when both sides were extremely calm, on the west bank of the ditch, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the camp tent in the distance: "Heavenly Master! Heavenly Master! ”

"Sun En?"

Xie Xuan looked into the distance in shock, under the pitch-black city, the camp tents were dotted together, and he saw Sun Enqi's long figure at a glance.
