Chapter 264 - Battle of Chiyuan City

Li Xu looked down, and a general knelt below, tilting his head up.

"What the hell is going on, so alarmed?"

"Denburg - The city of Denburg fell last night. ”

"What?!Where is Jia Hongxin?!Where are the 80,000 soldiers in the city of Dengbao?!"

"General Jia is dead, most of the 80,000 soldiers have fled, and more than 20,000 soldiers are rushing here. ”

"What about Beigong Longyin's army?"

"Before the messenger departed, Beigong Longyin's army entered Dengbao City and did not rush here. ”

"Order the army to increase the offensive, and be sure to break through Chiyuan City within three hours!"

"Yes!"

The victory on Li Xu's face turned into anger, and he slapped the fence fiercely: "Beigong Longyin!"

As Li Xu's order passed on, the battle at the north gate of Chiyuan City became even more tragic.

Changshan's army was a cut above the soldiers defending the city in terms of quantity and quality, and the defense line was like a dam hit by a flood, and soon several gaps appeared, and the defense line quickly collapsed from the gap.

"Retreat to the second line of defense, quick!"

Shi Sien roared, and ran to the city first, Shi Xingyu looked at the city wall that had been run up by Chang Shanjun at both ends, gritted his silver teeth, and turned around and ran down the city.

After a while, all the soldiers standing on the city wall were Changshan soldiers. After they had complete control over the top and bottom of the city walls, they began to spread out into the city in an orderly manner.

The defenders of Chiyuan, who had fled for a while, had crossed an empty avenue, and the stone slabs on the avenue were old and new, and in some places there was still a lot of black powder, which was the black ink that fell from the old roof tiles after they were dismantled.

On the south side of the avenue are stone tall buildings, which are extremely extensive, at least standing on the tall buildings at the north end, there are stone buildings everywhere you look.

These towering stone buildings are the large warehouses used to store grain in Chiyuan Castle, and the reason why they do not use light wooden planks to store grain is that the destructive power of rats is too strong.

The stone towers are hung with wooden planks facing north, and the planks are connected together, leaving a suitable gap, so that you can shoot arrows from the inside at will, but if you want to shoot arrows from the outside into the stone towers, you need enough archery skills.

There are a lot of wooden roads tied with various ropes between the stone buildings, there are wooden ladders between the wooden roads, and there are soldiers running on the wooden ladders, they run to the back of the wooden planks, take arrows and draw bows, and wait for the arrival of Changshan soldiers.

At the top, Shi Sien and some people from the Shi family stared at the road through the gap in the plank.

Shi Xingyu stood aside, silently glanced at the remaining eight Shi family members, and sighed faintly.

At this time, there was silence, and although the sigh was not loud, everyone in this space still heard it and turned around.

"Xingyu, what's wrong?"

"All the stone towers are surrounded by a circle, and we have deployed troops around them, and it is not easy for the Changshan army to capture the stone towers. As long as we hold out for a few days at most, the day the assassination will come will be the day when the Changshan army will be destroyed!"

"Xingyu, do you think of anything again?"

"No, I'm just a little sad to see fewer people. ”

The Shi family looked around, and there were only ten of them left among the more than twenty people who were in the mansion before. Thinking about the previous war again, I couldn't help but feel a little sad to see the people who had been good with them leave like that forever.

Bang Bang –

Everyone looked at Shi Sien, who was clapping, Shi Sien was different from everyone, and he smiled.

Their deaths will not be forgotten, and we, as witnesses of what they did, should live with their share of "life". ”

"Besides, isn't it beyond everyone's expectations that we have been able to persist from the Changshan Army's raid last night to the present?"

"Xingyu, you are the person who should not have other emotions, if it weren't for you, we would all die last night. ”

The Shi family and the others all remembered everything last night again, and they didn't know how they survived last night.

Because the specific information they got was that Chang Shan's army would not arrive until noon today, they all subconsciously relaxed. Those who should rest after night go to rest, and those who should inspect at night do their part.

When it was ugly, Shi Xingyu led people to beat gongs and drums, so that everyone woke up from their sleep.

They asked Shi Xingyu what was going on, and Shi Xingyu said that he had a dream that the Changshan army would soon attack the city.

They all smiled bitterly, if the matter of marching and fighting could be solved by dreaming, what else did they need to do while awake?

However, Shi Sien did not ask people to lead troops to rest on the city wall like them.

They thought that they wouldn't be able to sleep if they woke up anyway and went back to sleep, and their lives were at stake, so they obeyed.

Unexpectedly, within an hour, Shi Xingyu shouted again, pointing to something that reflected black light under the night and shouted: "Changshan Army is here!"

Before the soldiers on the city wall could react, seeing that they had been exposed, Chang Shanjun took off his disguise, let go of his footsteps and shouted and rushed over.

But because they were sneak attacks, there were only more than 10,000 strikers, and Chiyuan City had tens of thousands of people that Li Xu did not expect, plus Li Xu had absolute confidence in his subordinates, and he attacked the city without a moment of rest after rushing so far in a row, so he fought and fought Chiyuan City until not long ago.

And this second line of defense was also built under Shi Xingyu's personal supervision.

The current Shi Xingyu is in the eyes of the surviving people of the Shi family, that is, a goddess.

If you can dream of when Chang Shan's army will attack the city, there should be no one in this world except her.

"Otherwise, Xingyu, you should go to bed quickly, and when you wake up, tell us when Lord Thorn Shi will come. ”

"Hahaha - I think it's feasible, or tell us when the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive. ”

"Xingyu, you don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy, you just need to tell us what to do. ”

"Well, I'm just a little sigh for a while, uncles don't need to worry. ”

"Changshan soldiers are here!"

Everyone immediately gathered in front of the plank, only to see that the road between the houses began to emerge with a soldier named Changshan who was cautiously moving forward.

When they saw the towering stone tower, they could naturally see the tips of the arrows shining with cold light between the wooden planks. There was no fear on their faces, but they were relaxed and happy.

From the rear came a loud shout: "Kill!"

"Roarβ€”"

Chang Shan soldiers waved their spears and ran towards the stone tower.

"Ready!"

Crunch –

The stone tower faced the side of the Changshan soldiers, and there was a sound of bows and arrows bending to the limit.

Chang Shan soldiers quickly ran to the open space that was specially cleared by the Chiyuan defenders, and when the soldiers at the front ran to the center of the open space, they only heard a click, and their bodies suddenly sank down, and all the Chang Shan soldiers in the open area were shocked.

But their position does not allow them to stop. The soldiers in the rear crashed into the friendly troops who stopped without warning, and many more soldiers were added to the open area.

Boom –

The ground, which was already bearing unbearable weight, collapsed with a thud after a groan of pain.

Boom –

"Ahh

"Help!"

"What's going on?!"

The three-zhang wide open avenue shattered into countless pieces and fell downward, along with thousands of Changshan soldiers and soldiers on top.

Puff puff –

There was a terrifying sound of something stabbing into the body, but no one could hear from under the pit that appeared in the middle of a breath.

The Changshan sergeants in the back were all masked and fearful, and kept retreating until they retreated between the houses.

Although they avoided the possible danger of collapse, there was an even greater danger looming over their heads, that is, the soldiers of Chiyuan City who could still see them clearly from the stone tower.

"Put!"

Woooo

Puff puff –

"Ahh

This cry is very similar to the screams made by the soldiers of Chiyuan Castle when the city wall was captured before.

"Hurry back!"

"Return to the walls first!"

There were no more Changshan soldiers under the stone tower, and at this moment, the Changshan army left nearly 10,000 corpses.

The defenders of Chiyuan City looked at the results of the battle below, as if they couldn't believe that they had done it.

"Chiyuan City will win!"

A woman's shout came from the highest point of the stone tower in the middle, and several responses were immediately heard from the surrounding stone towers.

"Chiyuan City will win!"

The other soldiers waved their right arms: "Chiyuan City will win!"

The morale swept away the decline when it was suppressed before, and it surged upward.

The battle in the north of the city continued, but there was not a single common man between the houses, because all the people ran to the south of the city.

At this time, in the south of the city, what a mess of words.

Horse-drawn carriages piled up in front of the southern gates, shouting incessantly towards the walls. Between the carriages were the people who dragged their families, and they also shouted and cursed with the big families to the castle tower.

What's more, he led his family to storm the city wall.

The soldiers in front of the walls were piled up in rows, with their hands on wooden pillars, and did not clash head-on with those who attacked them.

Because many of the people who attacked them had to bow down when they saw them on weekdays.

"Are you going to rebel, open the gates and let us out!"

Leng Xianghui's dignified appearance is long gone, and the rest is hysterical.

The general on the city wall is named Shi Feizhang, that is, one of the young people who was specially named by Shi Sien in the city lord's mansion yesterday.

He really didn't dare to do anything to Leng Xianghui in front of everyone, but he was not afraid of Leng Xianghui's threat, because he knew what he was doing now, and he knew who asked him to do it.

"Changshan troops may appear outside the city at any time, and if they rush into the city after opening the city gate, none of us can afford it. ”

"Don't think I don't know, the Changshan army is in the north of the city, open it quickly!"

"I'm closing the gates for your own good!"

"What's for our good! You should open the city gate quickly and let us out! If you don't open the city gate again, when I see Long Yin, don't blame me for letting him degrade you!"

Leng Xianghui regrets dying now, he knew that he wouldn't have brought so many people and things.

Behind her, there were dozens of carriages, and there were more than 1,000 guards around the carriages, all of whom were armed.

How disdainful is Shi Feizhang and Leng Xianghui? I don't want to look at it anymore.

Although Beigong Longyin's contact with him was only limited to when he was a child, he still had a general understanding of what kind of person Beigong Longyin was, and said coldly: "Please!"

"You-well, you forced me! Come, prepare to storm the gates!"

The people who had denounced Shi Feizhang with Leng Xianghui before and the other people from the Beigong family suddenly disappeared, and they all looked at Leng Xianghui in shock.

Shi Feizhang turned his head abruptly to look down, looked directly at Leng Xianghui's red eyes, and did not give an inch: "Those who dare to attack the city, no matter who it is, will not be killed!"

"Yes!"

Click-click-

There were not many soldiers guarding the southern gates, only 2,000.

Compared with the nearly 100,000 people and the rich businessmen and nobles who had at least 30,000 people together, they were very thin.

But the sound of clenching spears and throwing the ground in unison made the city even quieter.

The atmosphere condensed to freezing point in an instant, except for the two sides where Shi Feizhang and Leng Xianghui directly broke out into conflict, everyone else was in a dilemma.

At this moment, a shout sounded outside the city: "Shao Chenghao of Yuzhou, lead the army to guard Chiyuan City!"
