Hearing the rumbling sound of war drums outside the city, Zhu Wei hurriedly went to the city, and the entire Gaotang City also began to be highly nervous at this time, the war drums sounded, and the red turban thieves who had been silent for many days were going to start attacking the city?

In the midst of all the attention, the red turban army outside the city did not make a big move, dozens of cavalry flew out, straight to the city, each of them held the flag in their high-speed gallop, hunting in the wind, looking at these flags in the wind, Zhu Wei's heart instantly sank to the bottom of his heart. Those flags are not those of the Red Turban Thieves, but of the Qi Army.

Immediately the knight waved his arm, and one by one the flags flew out, and they were planted under the city, half a foot into the ground, and the middle one, the Chen character flag was particularly eye-catching.

Chen Tao! Zhu Wei reacted instantly, Chen Tao is Tian Fucheng's general of the Chinese army, and it must be the second son who sent Chen Tao to lead his troops to rescue him, but he fell for the trick of the red turban thief, and now the flag is taken away, but I am afraid that Chen Tao himself will not be spared.

After dozens of cavalrymen threw out the flags, they laughed and roared away, and dozens of people came out of the Red Turban Army, escorted a few captives who were tied up by the five flowers, and marched to the place where the flags were.

Sure enough, it was Chen Tao. Zhu Wei's face is like ashes.

"Listen to the Qi army in the city, I come to the Red Turban Army Wei Zhiwen, the reinforcements you are looking forward to have been annihilated by our army, if you want to live, open the city and surrender quickly, otherwise the day the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not stay." Wei Zhiwen brandished the big knife in his hand and roared fiercely.

The city was silent, there was no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, Gaotang City, I was afraid that it was really dangerous.

The muscles on Zhu Wei's face twitched a few times, and under the city, Chen Tao, under the pressure of the Red Turban Army, began to shout loudly, asking the defenders of Gaotang City to surrender in order to save their lives, which made the morale of the soldiers in the city even lower. Zhu Wei gritted his teeth and commanded in a low voice: "Archer, shoot this rebel general to death."

"General, they just stopped out of range of the bow and arrow." An officer beside him whispered.

"Bring the bow!" Zhu Wei exclaimed angrily.

A strong bow was handed to Zhu Wei's hand, he took a deep breath, pulled the bow suddenly, put on the arrow, the bow was like a full moon, the arrow was like a meteor, Chen Tao's persuasion came suddenly, Zhu Wei's arrow actually shot Chen Tao to death on the spot under the city.

Wei Zhiwen was startled, their location was outside the range of bows and arrows, but the arrows on the city were ruthless and accurate, far beyond the distance that ordinary bows and arrows could shoot, he immediately took a few steps back, and shouted angrily: "Since you have chosen a dead end by yourself, don't blame us for not saying anything, go back,"

"If the thieves are coming, come here, see how Grandpa Zhu and I teach you thieves!" In the city, Zhu Wei, who had a successful shot, shouted.

One shot was successful, but the morale of the city was also greatly boosted.

The drums under the city gradually rumbled, and as Wei Zhiwen retreated, one after another siege vehicles and Mengchong vehicles appeared in Zhu Wei's sight, which made the corners of his mouth a little bitter.

"Beat the drums and get ready for battle!" He shouted.

The huge siege vehicle is more than ten meters high, almost as high as the city wall of the general county town, but in front of Gaotang City, it is still a little unsightly, but this is enough for the bed crossbows and archers loaded on it to shoot at the city, forming a suppression, in order to cover the attack of the foot soldiers below.

The Mengchong car of the Red Turban Army has obviously been modified, it should have been a ridge-shaped back, it was changed to a flat roof, but it was loaded with sacks of earth and stones, under the impetus of more than a dozen strong homeless people, it rushed towards Gaotang City, arrived at the moat, shouted, and the soldiers below pushed the top hard, the top of the Mengchong car was actually movable, and the sandbags on it were poured into the moat, stirring up huge waves.

Arrows rained down on the city, but there was nothing they could do in the face of Meng Chong's chariots, which retreated quickly with feather arrows stuck all over their bodies. The bed crossbows in the city are impossible to shoot down, and they can only be used against the siege engines now. And the stone and the wood, separated by a moat, are also in vain.

Meng Chong carts came and went, countless sacks of earth and stone were thrown into the moat, and soon, sections of the moat were filled in. The siege vehicle leaned forward, and the Mengchong car that appeared again had changed its appearance, no longer the previous flat roof, but the shape of the roof, which was to prevent such as throwing stones and beating wood to hit the Mengchong car, so as to facilitate unloading. Do your best to protect the foot soldiers hiding under the car. When the Mengchong car rushed to the city, the soldiers drilled out of the city, and assembled the ladder at a very fast speed.

The rich siege equipment and skilled attack methods of the siegers shocked Zhu Wei, where are the bandits, and what bandits can have such combat effectiveness, this is obviously a well-trained regular army.

The attackers are fierce, the defenders are also tenacious, the head of the Tang Dynasty, the sound of killing shook the sky, Wei Zhiwen, the tiger head, the horizontal knife three people attacked in turn, and killed the head of the city again and again, but were expelled again, the war entered the white-hot stage from the beginning, Zhu Wei divided the remaining less than two thousand elite troops into two rescue teams, where there was a dangerous situation, and rushed there to support, although the left and right were clumsy, the danger was full of dangers, but it still withstood the opponent's powerful attack.

After a half-day attack, the attackers and defenders each left countless corpses up and down the city.

Bai Yucheng's brows jumped, now he had only more than 5,000 well-trained troops in his hands, but in a morning's attack, nearly 1,000 people fell under the city, and this loss made him feel great pain.

Looking back at Zhao Yi'an beside him, he asked in a deep voice: "Will the southeast wind you mentioned really come in the afternoon?" He looked at the still sunny sky with some suspicion.

"Definitely!" Zhao Yi'an said affirmatively: "When we were in college, we specialized in learning some meteorological knowledge, and in our staff team, there are several people who are particularly good at this aspect of the content, and several of them unanimously decided that after noon today, the weather will change, and the southeast wind will come in due course."

"Okay, I hope what you said is true, otherwise our attack today will be a bit more than worth the loss."

Zhao Yi'an smiled: "If the southeast wind comes at the right time, you will break through the Tang City in one day, and you will definitely be famous all over the world."

Bai Yucheng smiled, Gaotang City is one of the five capitals of Qi State, if it is attacked by himself within a day, it can indeed make himself famous in the world and leave a name in history.

"Give the order to the front army, slow down the pace of the attack." Looking at the sun in the sky, Bai Yucheng ordered.

With the slowdown of the attack of the Red Turban Army, Zhu Wei in the city finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that today's difficulties are about to be over, and now even he in the city has to be ready to rush to the front line to fight the fire at any time, and the two rescue teams are even more tired.

It seems that the Red Turban Army can't stand such a large number of casualties, their well-trained army is limited in number, and casualties like this can't support them to break through Gaotang City, in fact, what Zhu Wei is most worried about is that these Red Turban Army will drive the tens of thousands of homeless people to attack the city, although the homeless people are not good at fighting, but there are too many of them, and the ants bite the elephant to death! But now it seems that the leader of this Red Turban Army does not have the idea of letting these homeless people come up and send them to death, which also makes him feel a little relieved.

But then the actions of the red turban thieves made him a little inexplicable, and they began to transport a large amount of firewood and other materials to the city, did they want to attack with fire? Arson under the city? Isn't that a deterrent from their own attacks? Watching the Red Turban Army come and go, transporting bundles of firewood to within dozens of steps of the city, Zhu Wei was puzzled.

The Red Turban Thieves' offensive became slower and slower, and finally all stopped, but the Red Turban Army, which stopped the offensive, did not retreat, but began to reorganize the formation, and more siege equipment was pushed out, and after moving forward for a certain distance, it stopped.

They seem to be waiting for something. Zhu Wei thought in his heart.

The wind is slightly rising, and the clouds are coming. In the blink of an eye, the sky was full of dark clouds.

The southeast wind rose, and the wind carried countless flags to hunt in the wind, Bai Yucheng gave Zhao Yi'an a thumbs up, "Your staff department is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and even this weather change can be calculated. Remarkable."

"Master Hou, this is not a great skill, in our staff department, this is some means that must be learned." Zhao Yi'an was a little proud, "Waiting for the master, let's start!"

Bai Yucheng nodded, turned his head, the smile on his face disappeared, and shouted, "Let's start!"

The drums sounded, the horns sounded, dozens of siege vehicles, hundreds of Mengchong vehicles and more foot soldiers rushed towards Gaotang City, and at this time, in the front, there were already soldiers holding torches and starting to light those firewood.

Zhu Wei still didn't understand what the other party was doing, but in the next moment, he immediately understood the other party's purpose, because after the initial firelight, the firewood that had been gathered suddenly disappeared and was replaced by billowing smoke.

Southeasterly wind! Zhu Wei's hair stood on end, and the billowing smoke was swept by the wind, rolling directly towards the city. There was a violent coughing sound from the city, and a puff of smoke choked into Zhu Wei's throat, and the throat immediately hurt hotly, and the other party added something to the cigarette.

Zhu Wei threw himself on the battlements, looked down with wide eyes, and in the haze, he vaguely saw that the attacking red turban thieves were covered with red scarves on their faces.

Smoke billowed out, and in the blink of an eye, the sight of the city could not reach three feet away, all that could be seen was some hazy shadows shaking, and above the city, the sound of coughing sounded. At this time, in the city, let alone counterattack, you can't even see the enemy in the distance. But the bed crossbows, bows and arrows from the red turban thieves are poured mercilessly from the bottom up.

The sound of a clang, it was the sound of a ladder on the wall.

"Prepare for battle... Ahem... The enemy... Ahem... Get out of town!" As soon as Zhu Wei spoke, the smoke choked into his mouth, from his throat to his chest and abdomen, he didn't feel comfortable, and he coughed violently.

(Although the gunman reminded him in front, there are still six or seven hundred book friends who have repeatedly subscribed to 78, probably an automatic subscription, and the gunner is really sorry, because of this mistake, the gunner will add two more chapters in June to make up for it, but it will definitely not work in the near future, because the gunman is too busy with work this time, and he really doesn't have time to write more. But don't worry, what the gunman said must count, June, I must complete the two chapters I owe, and apologize again to my friends who have subscribed repeatedly!) (To be continued......) R1292
