When Shi Zhi, who was stationed in Liangquan County, heard the news and led his own soldiers to rush to the city wall, it had been bombarded by fire for nearly an hour, and the passage of the city wall was full of gravel and dust, but the dust had been washed away by the rain falling from the sky to some low-lying places, and the larger gravel was still in place.

The eastern city wall of Liangquan County was not long, only less than two miles away, which was why Li Xiaofeng and the others chose this place as the breakthrough point for their attack. At this time, the Qi army that was originally defending here, except for a few unlucky ones who died in the explosion just now, the rest had all crowded on both sides of the passage and did not dare to go over.

The Feng family army under the city still continued to bomb the city wall, although it did not cause much substantial damage to the Qi army, but the psychological blow to them was still very serious, from the frightened eyes of the Qi army and the frightened expression on their faces, it was obvious that they were still very afraid of such an attack.

This is what Shi Zhi saw when he arrived, although the Feng family army did not launch troops to attack the city, but after all, it was impossible for the city wall to be defended by no one, so Shi Zhi began to command his own soldiers to hold weapons and force the defenders to go back and stick to their posts.

But even if those pro-soldiers brandished weapons and forced the defenders to go back to their posts with murderous faces, no one was willing to go, even if the pro-soldiers raised their weapons and threatened them with military law, no one was willing to go back, after all, many people saw the tragedy just now, and some of them experienced it personally.

Although they were lucky to have survived just now, no one believed that their luck would always be so good. And those who have neither experienced it nor seen it with their own eyes are even more frightened, after hearing those so-called parties recount the scenes that just happened, they feel as if they have seen or experienced it with their own eyes, and even shudder at the thought of returning to their posts.

As for the more than one version that came out of the mouths of those so-called parties, some reliable people said that it was a weapon similar to firecrackers, and some ghostists said that it was ** invited to help in the future. Anyway, no matter what version it is, there are always a few things in common that come out of those mouths, that is, they will make a whistling sound, they will explode and emit fire, and they will shoot hidden weapons to hurt people.

However, these versions are not believed by Shi Zhi, although there are still explosions on the city tower, but Shi Zhi has people bring a two-meter-high giant shield and distribute it to the defenders, so that they can go back to their respective posts to continue to hold on, and also told everyone to keep an eye on it, and must not be taken advantage of by ** to attack the city wall.

In the shed under the city, the two groups of people responsible for the ballista firing have taken turns to change shifts, Li Xiaofeng rode his miscellaneous war horse and stood next to the shed, I saw him stretch out his hand to Zhuge Cheng in the shed and waved him to pause, and then stretched out his hand to his forehead to block the falling raindrops, looked at it carefully, and then said to a soldier behind him: "Go, you have a loud voice, go to the city and roar a few times, let them quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise they will be smashed today." ”

"Yes!" The man agreed, braved the heavy rain and rushed to the city, and only stopped at a distance of less than a hundred meters from the city gate, and then put his hands to his mouth and began to yell at the city: "The defenders of the city listen well, my general said, the surrender of Kaesong is not to blame!" If you continue to resist, you will be blown to pieces today! After the city is broken, none of them will be left to kill! ”

At this time, the defenders of the city had been forced by Shi Zhi to return to their posts one after another, although each of them had an extra huge shield in their hands that was enough to cover their bodies, but everyone was still a little worried about whether it could play a role, and even many of them were still trembling inadvertently.

However, when they returned to their posts, they were not attacked, and just as they were secretly rejoicing, some of the bold and curious defenders poked their heads out of their shields and looked down at the city, and then they saw a man and a man riding slowly out of the rain, and then heard the man's shout.

After listening to the Qi army defending the city, the first reaction in the hearts of most people was to surrender the city, so as not to continue to resist and die on the city wall, after all, most of them are just to eat and not to fight desperately.

"Bold Tang thief! How dare you come to my city and speak wildly! Shi Zhi also took a few personal soldiers to the top of the city gate at this time, and after listening to the shouts of the city, he couldn't help but scold, and then snatched a bow and arrow from the hand of a personal soldier, and leaned out from the battlement of the city wall, and the bow was already full, and the target was the person who shouted under the city.

After Shi Zhi took aim, he scolded the man under the city: "Tang thief! How can you be presumptuous here! Eat me with an arrow! ”

"Whoosh!"

The sound of an arrow breaking through the air sounded in the rushing rain, and the feathered arrow flew out towards the man under the city. It's just that after the man in the city vaguely saw Shi Zhi's bow and arrow poking out of the battlement, he had already pulled up the reins and was ready to dodge at any time, and after hearing the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, he pulled the reins in his hand violently, turned the horse's head and ran two steps, which also made Shi Zhi's arrow shoot at the position where he was standing just now, and softly inserted into the muddy water.

"Brothers, the defenders of the city, listen up, surrender quickly! Our Feng family army does not kill prisoners, as long as you surrender, you will definitely not care about the past suspicions! When he saw the bow and arrow sticking out of the battlement, he was also angry, so he pulled the reins and ran back, and even then he did not forget to turn back to the city and shout when he withdrew: "If the city is broken, those who resist will be killed!" Think about it! ”

Although Shi Zhi saw the man slap his horse and retreat, he still shot the feather arrow towards the man's back with hatred in his eyes, and the result was the same as he expected, the feather arrow was thrown into the muddy water far behind him.

"Brothers! Don't listen to his nonsense! They must not have been able to take us down, that's why they came to cheat us! After Shi Zhi threw the bow and arrow back to his own soldiers, he stood in the middle of the passage and began to wave his hand to the defenders on both sides to comfort him: "Brothers, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to hold on!" Now that it's raining so heavily, it's impossible for the Tang thieves to stay in the rain for too long! Brothers, keep it up! ”

After listening to Shi Zhi's words, the defenders also felt that there was some truth, after all, they had never been attacked since they returned to their posts, so everyone naively believed Shi Zhi's words, thinking that ** did not have the unknown mysterious weapon just now, so everyone's courage began to become a little bigger, and the idea of wanting to surrender in Kaecheng just now was also suppressed by Shi Zhi's words.

After the person who shouted went back, he turned around and pointed to the city wall and reported to Li Xiaofeng angrily: "General, I have shouted everything!" I just shouted again, and the defenders from above began to shoot me with arrows! So in desperation, I had no choice but to go back for the time being! ”

"It's hard work, you should step back first!" Li Xiaofeng nodded slightly, waved his hand at the man and sent him away, and at the same time snorted coldly in his heart and said secretly, you really can't beat me or what? Today, I'll let you taste the power of our Feng Family's new weapon, the ballista!
