"That's right! The general is right! Lu Guang thought twice and stepped forward, leaned out and shouted to the city: "General Xiahou! The city is too small, so I'm sorry to welcome you into the city! ”

When the light was suddenly dark, Xiahou Shengshi was so angry that he screamed, rode a horse and walked a few times back and forth in the lower reaches of the city, pointed at the head of the city with a halberd, and shouted: "Siege!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, the war drums beat like raindrops, and hundreds of men and horses rushed out from behind him, led by the Southern Army, most of which were the Nanzhou Public Security Army.

In an instant, the dust was flying, and the sky was shaking.

They shouted at their horses and galloped toward the walls, and skillfully flicked their clawed ropes.

As soon as they got close to the city, the claws grabbed the edge of the wall, and they could climb up the rope.

Menacing. When Lu Guang had seen such a formation, he was immediately dumbfounded, and his body trembled.

There has been no war in the Celestial Empire for many years, and Jiang Chumo has actually never experienced this kind of scene, but he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he has brewed in his heart about today's battle many times. Unhurriedly, he stepped back and waved.

The eight hundred archers who had been lurking in the morning immediately appeared, and their arrows were aimed at the people under the city walls.

With the wave of the small flag in Leng Yun's hand, a thousand arrows were fired, and there was a scream immediately, and before the second round of archers, the besieger was almost dead. The rest fled in a panic.

Although Xiahou Shengshi felt a heavy loss, he ordered the men and horses behind him to follow.

The second round of arrows. Naturally, most of the second group of siegers were killed and wounded. Lucky enough to come to the bottom of the city threw a rope and climbed the city wall.

After two charges and successive failures, Xiahou Shengshi did not order to continue, only stared at the soldiers who climbed the wall.

As soon as someone climbed the walls, he gave the order for a third siege. The climbers approached the edge of the wall, and immediately there were sword-wielding guards pouring out of the wall. The ropes were cut and they all fell to their deaths.

Only Jiang Chumo will prepare for the battle in Tongzhou City. Xiahou Shengshi lost more than a thousand people, and finally determined that Jiang Chumo was in Tongzhou City.

"Jiang Chumo! Since you're in the city, why don't you show up and speak? ”

Hearing the name, Jiang Chumo, who didn't want to show up according to Tianlou's orders, had to show up. He smiled and said to Xiahou Shengshi: "General Xiahou! What do you have for advice? ”

Xiahou Shengshi said with a smile: "Jiang Chumo! The small county of Tongzhou has limited troops, and it is a matter of every day to attack. I advise you to give up resistance and surrender as much as possible! so as not to affect the people of Tongzhou. What a sinner for the ages! ”

"General Xiahou! Seeing noon, is it a lack of people and horses? Jiang Chumo stretched out his hand and walked back, and a guard immediately presented the tray in his hand, and there was a fragrant whole chicken on that plate.

He grabbed the chicken leg and brought it to his mouth to take a big bite. In the midst of the munch, he shouted inarticulate to the soldiers below: "Brothers! Are you hungry? ”

There was an immediate uproar in the city, and some of them even twitched their noses, as if there was a smell of braised chicken in the air.

Ben gambled that the imperial power was higher than a qiē, and he was able to suppress Lu Guang, and took the opportunity to attack the city and catch Jiang Chumo and the rebels to eat. Therefore, the soldiers did not eat breakfast before departure.

Bai Yi touched his short beard, knowing that his jade abacus had failed, Xiahou Shengshi, who was so angry that his mouth was crooked, said: "General! As the saying goes, don't make an empty stomach for soldiers. The last general thinks that when the gentleman makes rice with fire. ”

Xiahou Shengshi glanced at Bai Yi in distraught, and reprimanded angrily: "The riverbank is so small. There is no place to retreat, what if he goes out of the city to attack while he is making a fire to make food? ”

It's the truth. Bai Yi thought for a moment and said, "But this is not a way. The siege was not in a hurry, so he retreated to the other side to rest and come back. ”

The sun was getting hot overhead, and there was not a single tree on the riverbank, which lit people lazily, and that's not all, the soldiers on the city wall were feasting at the moment. Everyone was holding a big white steamed bun in their hands, and there were even chicken legs and wine.

Xiahou Shengshi swallowed the saliva in his throat, and saw that Jun's heart was tempted by the other party's food. Unable to fight any longer, he had to order the withdrawal of his troops.

The enemy retreated, and the walls were full of chanting.

Lu Guang, Yan Changsheng and others praised Jiang Chumo again and again, it was nothing more than Jiang Chumo being a god general!

"The Tianzhang River is a barrier! Not an outstanding general. Not an outstanding subordinate, no one can break through. Just relax! ”

Jiang Chumo calmed the frightened people and made arrangements for the next step.

Back at the county guard's mansion, Yan Changsheng had already slaughtered cattle and pigs, and the mansion was festive.

In order not to cause disorder among the people of the city, as well as unnecessary speculation. In order to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, Jiang Chumo specially told his subordinates to let go in today's battle, saying that the one who attacked the city was a traitor, and he would retreat on the same day.

Dead. Starlight Cage River, hundreds of large and small boats on the opposite side rowed forward at a high speed towards Tongzhou City.

The people on the boat were almost all in strong suits, with claw ropes tied around their waists and long knives in their hands.

On a boat in the middle, a symbol of authority, Xiahou Shengshi stood majestically with a halberd in his hand, staring intently at the city head that could be seen in the distance.

Defeated during the day, he was unprepared to attack him late at night, he was full of confidence, and he was determined to win Tongzhou City tonight.

For a while, the sound of the water was loud and magnificent, and it was just a war song to be sung.

The boat was ten meters away from the riverbank, and the riverside suddenly sparkled densely and shiningly. Then, the fire burst into flames, reflecting half of the river.

Looking across the river, it's beautiful.

Then, the torches, which had been quickly lit, flew into the air and threw the approaching ships.

The fire points fell to the ship accurately, one after the other, and the ship immediately caught fire. In an instant, the crying father shouted loudly.

The torch throwers cheered and laughed.

Leng Yun leisurely folded his arms and looked coldly at the many ships that were floating east along the water, "After burning so many ships, then Xiahou Shengshi has to stop for a while." ”

Han Fei opened his voice and shouted to the boat that Xiahou Shengshi was on: "Xiahou Shengshi! Hurry back to rescue the rescuers, and finally let Xiahou Zixin come in person! ”

No matter how loud the shouting was, it was just lost in the crying dad and mom and cheers.

This burned the ship, and Xiahou Shengshi, who fled back from the wolf, really did not come to attack the city for a few days.

On the one hand, he sent people to hurry back to Xiahou Zixin to report the situation of the war, and on the other hand, he sent people to recruit the people who had been attached to him to build ships.

The people of the villages living along the river either fled with their families when they heard the news, or the young and middle-aged people in their families fled without a trace, leaving only a few old, weak, sick and disabled.

It was calm for a while. Although the people on both sides of the strait have never had any more contacts, the people of Tongzhou are convinced that it is the rebels who are attacking the city, and they intend to pass through Tongzhou and enter the deep mountains of Nanban......

Time flies, unconsciously, passes between the fingers, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Not far away, a striking mountain peak shrouded in fog. The mountain peak is like an optimus jade pillar, half surrounded by clouds and mist, directly connected with the sky.

Tianlou, who had gone through a lot of hardships, put down Ji Yuluo on his back, faced the rising sun, squinted at the peak, and said: "This peak is as straight as a bamboo shoot, and it is also the highest I have seen." It is estimated that this is Xueyan Peak. (To be continued.) )
