The drums of war rumbled and the trumpets sounded.

The 200,000 main battle army that received the order of Marshal Liu Mingzhi was divided into eight phalanxes and left the large camp in the army.

The 150,000 auxiliaries carried all kinds of baggage equipment out of the army camp without lagging, and slowly approached in the direction of Shacheng.

The banner of the Western Regions Protectorate and Liu Mingzhi's handsome flag fluttered in the wind, announcing the banner and identity of the commander of this army, and in just a stick of incense, in addition to the 50,000 government soldiers who defended the barracks, the 350,000 army was quickly assembled.

With a stick of incense, he gathered 350,000 troops and quickly lined up to prepare for the siege of the city, which shows that Liu Dashao's measures of collective punishment during this period have begun to bear fruit.

The soldiers of each phalanx seemed to have become a person, cooperating with the brothers around them!

Liu Mingzhi took the reins of the horse handed by Murong Shan, turned over on the horse, took out the clairvoyant mirror, observed the movements in the direction of Shacheng, turned his head to look at Murong Shan, who was riding on the horse as a personal soldier: "Xiaojin, you have good light skills, act as a herald!" ”

Murong Shan hesitated and nodded: "Humble duty is ordered!" ”

"Herald!"

Murong Shan's face tightened, staring intently at Liu Mingzhi and waiting for orders.

Liu Mingzhi quickly passed the geographical location of Sand City on the map and various scenes outside the city from his mind.

"Order Han Peng, the commander of the cavalry of Long Wuwei, to lead 20,000 or 40,000 cavalry soldiers to detour in the direction of the south gate and north gate of Shacheng in two ways, to prevent the enemy of Shacheng at the two gates and the enemy's reinforcement army, and charge immediately once the enemy situation is discovered!"

"Order!"

"Order Zhou Baoyu, the general of Xiaoguowei, to lead 10,000 cavalry to detour ten miles away from the west gate of Shacheng and wait for an opportunity to ambush the enemy who fled out of the city, and tell Zhou Baoyu not to reveal his whereabouts so that the enemies in Shacheng can find their traces, so as to break the boat!"

"Order!"

"Go and herald!"

"Order!"

"Du Yu!"

"Humble duty!"

"Order Cheng Kai to command, Feng Buji to command 30,000 sword and shield soldiers and 40,000 archers to approach Shacheng, stop outside the range of the enemy's bow and arrows, and you are not allowed to attack the city without the order of the commander!"

"Order!"

"Sun Mingfeng!"

"Humble duty!"

"Order Ye Baotong to lead the bed crossbowmen, the catapult soldiers will put three thousand eight-ox crossbows in the middle, and one thousand six hundred catapults will approach Shacheng on both sides, and stop within the range of the eight-ox crossbow and wait for orders!"

"Order!"

"Tao Li!"

"Humble duty!"

"Commander Duan can't bear to lead 30,000 cavalry to wait for the opportunity to support Han Peng's cavalry at any time, feint to attack Shacheng, but don't approach!"

"Order!"

"Jiang Lei!"

"The last general!"

"The character who broke the gates of the city is handed over to you! The remaining 5,000 sword and shield men will cover the door car you led to approach the city gate, but there are 150,000 guards in the city, your pressure is not small, be careful! ”

"Don't worry, the door-smashing car has been loaded with iron sheets to block the enemy's arrows according to your instructions, and the last general is willing to make a military order to break the city gate immediately during the siege!"

"Be careful, command!"

"Order!"

Song Qing stood aside and looked at Liu Mingzhi in surprise: "Before you get close to Shacheng, you have set up a formation out of thin air, you have made great progress in the past six months!" ”

Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "It's okay to charge into battle for the general, and it is okay to win a decisive victory for the handsome thousands of miles away, the handsome can't take the lives of the brothers as a child's play, and the first tough battle must be a good start!" ”

"Uncle is right, you were born to be the material for commanding the army!"

"How does it feel strange to say flattering words from your mouth, you go and tell Ning Chao that these 150,000 auxiliary soldiers are not allowed to replenish the injured main battle army at any time without the slightest slackness!"

"The auxiliary siege is really ..........."

"Vice General Song!"

"The last general!"

"In the eyes of Ben Shuai, the 400,000 brothers are all the elite of the elite, there is no main battle auxiliary soldier, in the hands of Ben Shuai, they must all be elite soldiers, pass the order!"

"Order!"

"Marshal Qiqi, General Han Peng has already led 40,000 cavalry to dispatch!"

"Enlightened Handsome ......."

After all the heralds returned, Liu Mingzhi pulled the reins of his horse: "Go to the Chinese army formation!" ”

"Order!"

Liu Mingzhi and a group of personal soldiers slowly approached the Chinese military formation.

At the same time, the 350,000 troops were divided into eleven phalanxes and slowly approached Shacheng, and the ranks were neatly aligned without the slightest disorder. Five miles away from Shacheng, Liu Mingzhi gave an order, and the rapid sound of war drums broke the tranquility of Shacheng.

The 30,000 sword and shield soldiers struck the shield with the back of their swords, and slowly approached the sand city step by step, and the 30,000 archers were divided into six phalanxes and followed closely behind the sword and shield soldiers, and had already drawn out the feather arrows in the quiver behind their backs and put them on the bowstring.

The sound of war drums could not hide the creaking sound of the crossbows and the wheels of the catapults, and this tooth-sore sound only strengthened the morale of the army, and the chest seemed to hide boundless anger at any time.

Standing on the city wall, Zasang looked at the 350,000 troops approaching Shacheng like dark clouds, and couldn't help but tremble a little in his heart, could he really resist the arrival of reinforcements?

What kind of person is the commander of the Great Dragon Kingdom, who doesn't even try to make a tentative attack, and the whole army attacks without even trying it, and Zasang has never seen this kind of fighting in the seven years since he guarded the frontier!

"General Zasang, look, the whole army is in armor, the whole army is in armor, even the auxiliaries are all in armor!"

Zasang took a deep breath: "Zamuk, General Ben saw it, you don't need to say it, immediately fly the pigeon and ask when the reinforcements will arrive?" The commander of the whole army attacking the city and this big dragon does not follow common sense at all! ”

"Yes! The last will go right away! ”

Liu Mingzhi looked at the army that was almost within the firing range and immediately ordered: "Stand still!" ”

"The handsome man has the order to stand still!"

"The handsome man has the order to stand still!"

As soon as the order arrived, the sword and shield soldiers immediately stopped and began to stand still, the shield in their hands held high to protect their bodies, beware of the hidden arrows above the sand city.

The catapult also stopped and began to calibrate its bearing, and the army was busy preparing its own things!

Liu Mingzhi rode on his horse and quietly observed the soldiers who placed stones on the catapult and wound the eight-ox crossbow and shouted: "Vice General Song! ”

"Here!"

"Send a scout who is proficient in the Western Regions dialect to shout to the defenders of Shacheng, there is still a chance to surrender out of the city at this moment, otherwise the army will wash Shacheng in blood!"

"Yes!"

Zhasang listened to the words of the big dragon scout under the city, his face turned blue, but he didn't make the scout how, the two armies fought without beheading, even the countries of the Western Regions also had such rules!

"Warrior, General Ben admires your courage to come to the city wall alone, go back and tell your commander that if you want to capture Shacheng, it depends on his ability!"

The scout didn't reply anymore, turned around and turned his horse's head, and galloped towards the direction of Liu Dashao of the Chinese army!

Liu Mingzhi listened to the scout's words, took a deep breath, and waved the command flag in his hand fiercely: "The whole army is attacking the city!" ”

"The sound of the horn sounded again, and the sound of war drums made the atmosphere outside Shacheng tense!"

Ye Baotong understood what he meant when he heard the sound of war drums, and rode a horse and waved the command flag and galloped behind the Eight Bull Crossbow soldiers.

"Siege!"

The hammer of the eight-ox crossbow struck heavily on the crossbow machine, and the arrows of the three thousand eight-ox crossbows flew like lightning towards the head of the sand city.

Immediately, the stones of 1,600 siege catapults were densely packed like meteorites from the sky, swarming towards the walls of the sand city!

Zasang really has the style of a general, and he conveys orders without panic.

"Tell the soldiers to dodge the rain of arrows, and the shield protects the stones!"
