When it was ugly, the low and majestic sound of the horn sounded under the city, and the people who had been nervous for a long time before falling asleep had to return to the cruel reality.

Xiao Jing's idea of using the limited time to train recruits also came to naught.

Lu Chong didn't give him a chance to breathe at all, and the Han army in the Hu people's array was sent to the battlefield before they had time to make a few rudimentary siege weapons.

Countless torches light up the night sky. Compared with the panic in the city, the soldiers of Beihu are still in order, and they are not unwilling and frustrated to be used as cannon fodder.

Perhaps this was indeed a tentative attack in an ordinary war that would have to pay for casualties in vain, but the Han soldiers under Lu Chong's command felt that they had hit a big luck - such a weakly defended city could be completely swept down with a single blow, which was almost a flying military feat!

And military exploits bring money, beauty, and endless glory and wealth! Chrysostom, who is the most unfortunate and has the Great Khan, said that the army that took the lead in entering the city could rob and slaughter as much as they wanted "without sealing the knife for three days", which was a great temptation for them who could only watch others eat meat and drink soup before!

When the Hu army reached a distance of thirty paces from the city, the commotion at the head of the city gradually subsided.

It's easy to stop the commotion - after two screams, two sneaky creatures with the intention of confusing people fall in pools of blood. Whether they are Beihu's spies or just cowardice, such behavior is the way to death at this moment.

If these people don't die, then everyone dies together.

There was no one to collect the corpses. This is not because the dead body is left to set an example, but the strong enemy is in front of you, and there will be a large number of casualties in the near future anyway, which makes no difference whether the corpse is collected or not.

The people on the city walls had different expressions. Some people were obviously shocked by the right way to kill chickens and monkeys, and they stayed in the designated position almost as if they were petrified, and did not dare to move; Some people gritted their teeth and looked at the Beihu army marching in line below, and the anger in their eyes seemed to be about to erupt; There were also people who were eager to try a bow that they didn't know if they could pull out, and there was a sickly excitement on their faces.

Soon, the servant army advanced to a closer position. Several teams of archers stopped at a proper distance and began to fire arrows at the walls.

The walls of the county town are not high, and the bows and arrows thrown can be shot at the head of the city. Although such an attack was tantamount to flooding, the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun still looked very powerful, and for a time all the defenders lowered their bodies and hid behind the wall, and no one showed their heads to look out, and no one dared to get up and return fire with bows and crossbows.

Even so, the screams of the arrows still rang out from time to time.

Xiao Jing felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do. The veterans of the Xia family, who have been in a hundred battles, have tirelessly talked about the precautions in wartime, but it is difficult for the people who rushed to defend their hometown to become qualified soldiers overnight.

Under the cover of bows and arrows, a group of soldiers constantly carried sandbags to fill the already wide moat; When a place was enough to settle in, someone rushed up with a rudimentary ladder and set it up on the city wall at great speed.

Finally, the men and horses in charge of the siege roared and rushed to the ladder.

The leader was a bearded man, and it seemed that he should be a Hu officer in charge of leading the servant army.

Taking off his leather armor, he put a steel knife on his back, and the whole person was as fierce as a killing god, as if he was about to choose someone to devour in an instant; His face was so hideous that many people cowered even when they were in the city.

Because the siege had begun, the archers of Beihu had also stopped firing volleys, and only a few sharpshooters still fired one or two cold arrows at the city from time to time.

Seeing the big man howling and approaching the ladder, an arrow suddenly flew from the city and shot through his head impartially.

He didn't make a sound after a few breaths, and the whole person fell silently, and the soldiers who had been following him bravely stopped walking.

The people on the city wall were stunned for a moment, and then burst into deafening cheers.

Although many people were determined to die, the bravery of the Beihu people was so impressive that even if they mustered up the courage to stand on the city with their weapons, their legs were trembling.

However, after seeing the appearance of the big man being hit by an arrow, these people suddenly understood a truth: the Hu people are also flesh and blood raised by their fathers and mothers, and they will die like swords! In that case, let's fight with them, in case you kill one, you still earn it!

And for Beihu's side, what could hurt morale more than watching their warriors being knocked down with an arrow?

The Han people who were preparing to attack the city knew how brave their Hu people were. In the past, whenever he encountered a fortified city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, he would rush to the front with arrows and stones; Although he would suffer several or even a dozen large and small injuries on his body in each battle, as long as he rushed to the top of the city, any resistance would crumble and victory would follow.

Now, he was the first to fall before he could climb the ladder......

The Han soldiers had to re-examine the city in their hearts.

Of course, the stagnation on the battlefield is only a short moment. The soldiers of Beihu only paused slightly, and then rushed to the cloud ladder again in a tight drum beat, and the shocking scene just now was at most a small wave in their hearts that had long been cultivated into war machines.

Seeing this scene, the defenders on the city wall also cheered up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and threw down the stones and other objects at hand......

Capital.

Today is the third day of Shao Ning's imprisonment, but he doesn't even know what his crime is.

He wasn't the only one arrested. Dong Xiaoya's sister and brother and the monkey were not spared, and several of them lived in several cells on the partition wall.

If it weren't for the fact that the officials didn't dare to go to the Xia family to get people, Qin Ziqian probably wouldn't be able to stay alone!

Shao Ning irritably pushed away the food that had already been cooled down beside him, stood up and looked around.

Since his imprisonment, he has lost all contact with the outside world. It wasn't until yesterday that someone from the Xia family came to him, and he knew that Shao Yuanwai had worked hard outside many times, but he had never been able to step into prison.

If it's really a big case, what's the matter with just keeping people here and ignoring them? If it's nothing serious, then why can't the Shao family or even the Xia family fish people out?

It's just a pity that the newspaper in the last few days can't be published, which should be exactly what some people want, right? By the way, maybe those people made it up, it must be......

Shao Ning, who was thinking nonsense in prison, would not have thought that the outside had already quarreled over the matter of the mirror newspaper, and the so-called charges had already been written out by some newspapers:

Collaboration!
