Chapter 42: Sinister intentions

Zhou Qi looked down on Xiao Yuan, and as soon as his words fell, there was already a change outside the city gate.

I saw a man riding out of his horse, riding alone, and when he reached the land of an arrow, he pulled the reins in his hand, and then raised his sword and shouted:

"Listen to the thieves in the city! Hurry up and surrender! Otherwise, when the city is broken, it will be too late to regret it! ”

The person who came was Peng Shuang, he raised his sword and called the formation, Zhou Qi heard this, his nose was almost crooked, he immediately pointed at Peng Shuang, and said angrily: "Who can kill the enemy!" ”

"The last will go!" A big man immediately said: "Within the three combinations, the head of the dog will be beheaded!" ”

"Good!" Zhou Qi Dayue: "General Shi Yong, the enemy army is arrogant, let you quickly kill this person, in order to strengthen the prestige of our army, at that time, this general will be rewarded!" ”

"Order!" Hearing the reward, Shi Yong hugged his fist excitedly, then took his weapon and walked down the city quickly.

"Driving-" After a while, the city gate opened, Shi Yong rode out, and while rushing towards Peng Shuang, he also shouted loudly: "The enemy will die!" ”

Looking at his menacing appearance, Peng Shuang sneered, not only did he not panic, but instead smashed the horse's buttocks, faced Shi Yong, and rushed back.

The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, raising a slight amount of dust, and the two soon met, and the sound of weapons colliding suddenly came.

After the blow, Peng Shuang immediately turned the horse's head, and while riding the horse, he also aimed at Shi Yong, glaring angrily, and it was a vicious knife in the head.

His weapon is the kind of broadsword with an extremely long blade, and when used with all his strength, the speed is extremely fast and the momentum is amazing.

The strong wind hit, and Shi Yong had no time to dodge, so he could only raise the weapon in his hand horizontally and hit hard.

The sound of gold and iron and the neighing of the war horse sounded almost at the same time, and this powerful knife directly smashed the four hooves of the war horse under Shi Yong's crotch to the ground.

The latter's heart shook wildly, the tiger's mouth had already been torn, and he also showed a thick look of fear, and when he looked up again, there was only a cold light in his eyes, coming towards his neck.

Blood was sprayed, and the severed head fell to the ground.

At this time, Zhou Qi in the city was still waving his hand sideways and said, "Quick!" Beat the drums! Cheer for General Shi! ”

"Will ...... The general ......" the drummer swallowed hard.

"Huh?"

"Shi, General Shi probably can't hear the drums anymore......" the drummer stammered.

"What!?" Zhou Qi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately took two steps forward and looked down.

Seeing that Shi Yong was already in a different place, he was shocked at the same time, and hurriedly said to the left and right: "This ...... Who dares to face the enemy general? ”

Among this group of people, Shi Yong can be regarded as brave, but as soon as he went down, he was beheaded as soon as he couldn't get together.

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Seeing this situation, Zhou Qi scolded angrily, but he himself didn't dare to fight.

At this time, seeing that the enemy general had been killed, all the soldiers on Xiao Yuan's side also began to raise the halberd in their hands and shouted in unison to cheer for Peng Shuang.

The latter rode a war horse, shook the blood on the tip of the knife, and continued to shout towards the city: "Wait for the thief army, will you send such a rat generation!" But who else dares to fight with me Peng Shuang! ”

This is the general.

Although he was trapped in Liucheng with Xiao Yuan from time to time, he had a natural tiger general's might on his body.

At present, the morale of the two sides is no longer proportional, where does Zhou Qi dare to fight, it is to order again and again: "Quick!" Close the gates! ”

Without his orders, the rebels who had fought with Shi Yong had already begun to disperse and returned to the city, and the tall city gate slowly closed with the sound of sour teeth.

Peng Shuang also wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue and kill into the city, but he was shot back by random arrows in the city.

In desperation, he could only ride his horse back to his own formation, and after seeing Xiao Yuan, he also hugged his fists on his horse and said: "General, the enemy army is as timid as a mouse, and he will send the rats to die." ”

"The general is brave, and he beheaded the general before the battle, which greatly boosted the morale of our army." Xiao Yuan praised him, and then shouted: "Listen to the order!" ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword sharply, and then pointed forward: "Siege!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Knock knockβ€”"

The exhilarating drums of war sounded, and one after another stone throwers were pushed out by the soldiers and began to load stone bullets.

"Put-"

With an order, huge stone bullets were thrown in arcs in the air and smashed all over the city pass.

From time to time, there was a rumbling sound, accompanied by one terrible howl after another, and every now and then, there were always rebels falling from the city.

Xiao Yuan's side, but the real regular army, not only has complete siege equipment, but also has experienced bloody battles and has rich battlefield experience.

And the rebels, most of them are just rogues, they don't even have regular armor, how can they see such a formation, many people have begun to hug their heads in the city, Zhou Qi is even more shocked, and he is also constantly commanding: "Dodge!" Be careful to dodge-"

"Kill-" After the stone thrower, Xiao Yuan's side began to launch a charge of the whole army.

"Killβ€”" The main general took the lead, and under his leadership, all the soldiers shouted violently and began to rush towards the city pass.

The ladders were soon erected all over the city wall, and countless soldiers began to climb desperately up along the ladders.

Huge siege engines were also pushed to the city gates, hanging from thick sharp wooden stakes, and several people worked together to slam the city gates one after another.

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Resist themβ€”" At the head of the city, Zhou Qi was staring and shouting.

Stones and rolling logs and other things used to defend the city also began to be thrown down by the rebels, and once they fell, they were often killed and injured.

The arrows on both sides were scattered, and they continued to shoot vigorously in the sky, and from time to time some people were hit by arrows and howled miserably.

The war has started, and the blood of the soldiers is being spilled, but in the ancient cold weapon battlefield, it is not so easy to break through a city, sometimes, even if the army is superior, the siege cannot be broken for several months, not to mention, this battle, Xiao Yuan is still 6,000 to 10,000.

This is a ferocious siege battle, but fortunately, the combat strength and morale of both sides are not proportional.

On the first day, Xiao Yuan's offensive was fierce, and although the rebels were fighting more and more, they still barely held on.

On the second day, the rebels were getting more and more frightened, and Zhou Qi began to panic, but Fengcheng was still not broken.

At this point in the battle, Xiao Yuan had lost more than 2,000 troops, and when he was resting, Ye Cheng also began to say: "General, Yu Anmin promised to supply our army with grain and grass, but it has not yet arrived, and the dry food that our army has brought with it has been exhausted, Fengcheng, I'm afraid it can't be attacked again." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan said directly: "No! The rebels have been frightened by our army, and this battle is the courage of the soldiers! If you give up now, the blood shed by the soldiers in front of you will become meaningless! ”

Subsequently, Xiao Yuan's department began to fight by eating grass!

Yu Anmin swore that he didn't have to worry about food and grass, but now, he was dragging it, which shows that his intentions are sinister.
