Under the ice wall, the Beifeng Jingjia was struggling to dig the ice wall, although there were bows and crossbows in the city from time to time, but it didn't take long to break through several holes in the wall that could accommodate one person. Just as they were about to break through the ice wall, they suddenly noticed that the bow and crossbow were gradually stopping, and they heard the sound of rolling overhead, and when they looked up, they saw a pitch-black cauldron pouring something down.

In an instant, green smoke billowed from under the ice wall, and the mist obscured all the sight around, and only countless screams could be heard. The soldiers under the city fell to the ground and struggled, scrambling to take off their thick armor, and the soldiers in the back tried to make up for it, but they only felt that their feet slipped and fell on the ice of the river, and few of them could climb the low slope of the riverbank. Seeing this, the Xuanlong Army had already returned fire with crossbows, shooting and killing all the elite armored soldiers in several attack points.

On the high platform, Gu Yu saw that the three beacon flames were extinguished into two, and asked Zhong Li: "Are you using the 'golden soup' again?" ”

"The golden soup is right, add more 'seasoning' to it." Zhong Li smiled and then explained: "Originally, the golden soup was just feces and urine plus snow water, but now I have added pigskin and other things to it, so that there is an extra layer of oil. ”

"No wonder I see that all those iron bumps can't stand, it's still the idea you think."

"This is also a loss because today I went to the room after dinner to inspect the room, stepped on the pig's blood lard, and walked on the ice and almost slipped down."

Gu Yu couldn't help laughing, "Then you won't lose if you fall." ”

While talking and laughing, the soldiers and horses of the second formation of the northern front came up, and then the attack of the first formation continued to attack the same position. However, the two formations were different from the first, and there were not too many heavily armored warriors, instead the square shields were in front, the crossbowmen were in the back, and the main force in the formation was more spears and short swords, relying on the advantage of numbers, so as to firmly suppress the guards at the head of the city behind the ice wall.

Although he had not yet landed in the city, Zhong Li knew at a glance that this was the real attack, and he had only used the young soldiers as a test before, so he ordered Qin Lang to order the city to rekindle three beacon fires. At this moment, he suddenly saw something black flying up at the head of the city, and took a closer look at the North Forward Army projecting at the head of the city with heavy javelins.

"Get down!"

The old soldiers shouted for the recruits to climb behind the city, and they heard a pounding sound like a torrential rain. The sound gradually stopped, and when he raised his eyes to see that the five-foot-long javelins were planted above the city, he got up again and had already reached the bottom of the city. The crossbowmen continued to suppress the soldiers at the head of the city with a non-stop fire, and the shieldmen opened a line under the city, holding the crossbows and stones that came from their heads, so that the soldiers behind them could slowly climb up to the top of the city with javelins full of walls.

There was chaos on the ice wall for a while, and the black armor and the white clothes fought inseparably. In the distance, the reinforcements of the Xuanlong Army were still gathering, and almost all the soldiers of the Northern Front were also gathered under the city, and even the previous third formation had entered the river.

However, Zhong Li was still calm on the high platform, watching the soldiers in the city fight with white blades, and the snow-white walls were stained with blood, but he didn't think about getting off the platform at all.

"General, this city is almost unbearable, you see ......"

Seeing that Qin Lang was eager to try, Zhong Li smiled and said, "If you want to go up, I'm not in a hurry." ”

"I'm afraid you have to prepare for something, otherwise you would have been the first to kill on weekdays." Hearing that Zhong Li was still joking with Qin Lang, Gu Yu guessed on the side.

Zhong Li thought to herself what to prepare, what to calculate, according to this girl's brain, she must have guessed eight or nine not far from ten, she just wanted to take the opportunity to mock a few words, so she replied: "What can I prepare, but do you think this is the right time?" ”

Gu Yu smiled faintly and said nothing, so Zhong Li said and looked at the enemy formation again, and said to Qin Lang: "You and lead the cavalry to shoot five hundred out of the south gate, go to the enemy formation and lie in the dark in the dark, and wait for my order to attack." ”

"Lead the cavalry to shoot five hundred out of the south gate," Qin Lang repeated again, for fear that he would remember something wrong. "Command."

"By the way, remember to pass the snowshoes, put the arrows in the pocket, and don't show the arrows first." Zhong Li instructed again. Seeing Qin Lang go away, Zhong Li summoned the herald again, "Send the order to the left and right for five miles, listen to me beat the drum for a while, and after the drum sounds, let go of the rolling wood and thunder stones." ”

After arranging everywhere, Zhong Li looked back at the ice wall, and there were already many Beifeng soldiers on the top of the city. He estimated that it would take a moment and a half for either the order or Qin Lang to arrive at the location, so he said to Gu Yu: "Don't say that I deliberately fought to the death, I have to kill here now." ”

Gu Yu was amused by Zhong Li's words, and said helplessly: "Go, go, don't forget to come back and beat the drum." ”

"Okay, go and go back." Zhong Li said that he flew off the high platform, turned around and rode a fast horse to the city.

"Have you had enough to eat? When you're full, I'll go back! My soldiers of the Xuanlong Army, can't I find such a scene! Zhong Li shouted under the city, and the soldiers of the Xuanlong Army turned back one after another. Seeing that the general was coming, everyone instantly became energetic, shouting and putting on a hideous expression, and launched a counterattack against the Northern Forward Army in the city.

Zhong Li jumped on his horse, went to the head of the city with his hand, and beheaded several people when Chang Xun came out of the sheath. Seeing that Zhong Li had arrived, the Northern Feng Army was not afraid, and everyone gathered over one after another, scrambling to get his head.

For a while, long spears and short swords attacked one after another, and the Beifeng soldiers, who were not many in the city, gathered more than a dozen people to surround Zhong Li. Zhong Li dodged the gun on the left and stabbed the sword on the right, and slashed three taels with his backhand. Seeing that the spear was pierced in the lower half of the body, the sword slashed the back of the head, and then the back knife retreated and turned around and cut a piece, and then turned around and grabbed the spear that stabbed him, and then cut off several heads. In the blink of an eye, the city fell down, Zhong Li was also covered in blood red, and the originally chaotic city was even more lively for a while, so that the corpses were piled up on the city and could not find a place to put their feet.

The originally snow-white ice city was full of blood for a while, and the blood was deeply immersed in the ice and snow and was frozen again, and it was reflected crystal clear by the flames of war, and the entire city looked like a large piece of bloodstone from a distance. Zhong Li gradually felt that the ice wall under his feet was beginning to soften, so he ordered the soldiers to retreat while killing.

"Hold on a little longer, brothers, and I'll go beat the drums!" Zhong Li shouted to everyone when he saw that his footing was steady, and then he flew down the ice wall and quickly returned to the high platform. On the stage, Gu Yu was obviously taken aback when she saw that Zhong Li was covered in blood, and her head and face were indistinguishable, but she immediately turned her face and laughed.

"Every time you come back from killing, you look like this? How can your sweetheart stand you? ”

"Then you haven't seen her more lively than this." As he spoke, Zhong Li picked up the drumstick and slammed the snare drum.

Although Zhong Li tried his best to think of a shorter drum, it would take thirty or fifty beats to get through. In this way, the Beifeng soldiers also noticed Zhong Li beating the drum, so they jumped off the city wall and killed this side. Because Qin Lang left, there were only a dozen guards left in the audience, and they could only block the front for a while. Although Zhong Li was in a hurry, if the snare drum stopped halfway, not to mention whether the military order could be issued, it would inevitably affect the morale of the whole army, so he had to grit his teeth and beat the drum down.

"Get out of the way!" In his spare eye, he caught a glimpse of someone raising his bow to this side, so he shouted to Gu Yu. I didn't want Gu Yu to raise the crossbow is an arrow, and the man fell down from the city in response.

"Beat your drum with peace of mind, I'm not useless at all." Gu Yu replied with a slightly angry tone, and then raised the bowstring again.

Although it was only a moment's work, several of the guards in the audience had already fallen, and Gu Yu was almost injured by the stray arrow. After finishing the drum, Zhong Li threw off the drumstick, picked up Changxun, jumped off the high platform, and killed the attacking soldiers with three or two knives.

"Release the Thunder Stone!"

As the order passed through, the thunder stones hanging high above the ice wall fell together and smashed on the frozen ice of the Daling River. At the moment of contact, the smooth ice surface instantly cracked like a spider's web, spreading to the surrounding area.

When all was silent, only the observant could hear the faint cracking sound beneath the ice, creaking, short, faint, but continuous. Suddenly, the cracking sound became intense, and in an instant it was like a landslide cracking the ground, and then the cracks spread like lightning on the wide ice.

"Disperse!"

But it was too late, and I saw that the flat ice surface was instantly lined up into countless fragments, and the river water gushed out, and the huge ice blocks like walls flew up and down, swallowing the Beifeng soldiers gathered under the city into the icy river water in an instant. Lucky and quick-eyed soldiers either evacuated the breach or climbed onto the ice floe, only to see a flood of fire flying from their sides. For a time, the Beifeng sergeants, who were originally advancing vigorously, either rolled and climbed in the snow, or plunged into the river to avoid the rain of arrows, and they collapsed in an instant.

"Kill me back!"

Seeing that the plan had been completed, Zhong Li shouted and led everyone back to the city, clearing the remnants of the Beifeng army that had no way out at the city. However, when the killing was in full swing, Zhong Li suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then saw that the third echelon of Beifeng in the middle of the river still did not make any reaction, Zhong Li knew that there must be something strange in this. Looking around, the beacon towers at the far ends of both sides were all beacon flames, Zhong Li thought about it was possible that there were other fierce generals in Dai Ying's army, and took advantage of the fierce battle in the city, led a team to go around the corner and instantly broke the defense line, so that the beacon tower was future and ignited. But think carefully about it, if this is the case, why did it not attack the main formation after breaking the defense, and the anti-sect brigade lost all its personnel.

At this moment, he heard a birdsong in the distance, and looked at the source of the sound on the north side, and under the dark red sky illuminated by the firelight, there seemed to be a few black shadows flying up from the mountain forest.

"Could it be that he slipped away on his own? Unexpectedly, Dai Ying, the old boy, would use seven or eight thousand people as bait, just to let himself hide back in Liaodong, this guy didn't want any honor for his own one-third of an acre. Thinking of this, and looking at the situation in front of him, the outcome was already decided, so he flew down the city wall, looked for a fast horse, called a few followers, and ran to the north side of the mountain forest.

On the high platform, Gu Yu saw Zhong Li galloping northward, and vaguely saw the frightened birds flying, so he probably guessed Zhong Li's intentions.

"General Zhong, Zhong Li!"

Gu Yu shouted, but her voice was very weak on the battlefield, and no matter how hard she tried, she didn't see Zhong Li turn back. Seeing Zhong Li quickly riding away, she was about to look for a horse to chase after her, but she saw that Qin Lang had led more than 100 horsemen back to the high platform first.

"Chase your general with me!" Gu Yu said in a commanding tone.

"What?" Qin Lang had never seen Gu Yu in such a hurry in the past ten days, and her sudden words made him a little panicked.

Gu Yu didn't care about it, ran down the high platform and grabbed the horse of the guard next to him. "Hurry up, I'll explain to you on the way, if you slow down, your general will be in danger."
