The ice and snow blocked the city gate, although the fire could not be extinguished, but the bronze city gate cooled down a lot, and for a while faded the previous red, and began to emit bursts of white smoke. Hu Ying also asked the soldiers to pile up sand and lay it on the place where the black water had flowed before, so that the fire would not spread.

After such a toss, it was past noon, and the two sides attacked and defended properly, which was considered a draw.

Qi Lie watched from a distance at the city gate, where the black smoke and white smoke mixed together and soared into the sky, and said with a smile: "Alihai's shot is good, Hu Ying should be entangled in the Beicheng Tower, and I don't expect her to dare to leave here for a while." Next, it's up to them in Golihan! ”

The flowers bloom and stalk, each with a branch.

At the same time that Alihai's iron rope cavalry formation and Hu Ying's crossbowmen were attacking and defending at the north city gate, an army of 13,000 troops was quietly passing through the Qiankan Marsh near the east city gate.

The Blade Clan's falling crystal powder worked, and the entire ice surface was frozen solidly, and the hooves of the heavy cavalry stepped on the ground as if they were walking on the ground.

In accordance with Qi Lie's order, Ge Lihan slowed down the speed of the whole army's march, trying to be as silent as possible and not to be noticed.

The Whistle Eagle did not find any ambushes on this ice field, and at this speed, it was almost past noon to pass through the entire swamp, leaving Linzhou City behind.

Ge Lihan knew Qi Lie's trust and expectations for him, as long as he passed Linzhou City, he would not be far away from the capital of Taiye Country. Qi Lieken handed over the first formation to him, hoping that he could establish a world-shattering reputation for the blood clan!

He looked to the side from a distance, and there was still no movement at the east gate of Linzhou City.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Even if Qi Lie could focus all of Hu Ying's attention on the north gate, there were 60,000 troops stationed in the entire Linzhou City, how could there not even be a single sentry on the east gate? Not only that, but even the arrow tower and corner tower have not been repaired, and they are still the same as they were after they were destroyed by Qi Lie a few months ago. The walls had been repaired, but they still looked dilapidated, and it seemed that they had only been hastily dealt with.

As soon as Zhu Zhiling died, did the military defense of Bihai Kingdom fall to this point?

There was a suspicion in Gorihan's heart, he was the head of the Eight Horsemen, not only because of his bravery, but also because he was calm, brave and strategic.

At this moment, his battlefield instincts told him that there was a deception!

Suddenly, a cavalryman galloped in the distance behind him, and when he saw Gorihan, he panted and said, "General, wait a minute!" ”

"What's wrong?" Ge Lihan knew that the military flag planted behind the soldier was the color of the second formation of Boduyan, and he had agreed with Boduyan before that if any enemy situation was discovered in the rear formation, he would report it quickly, and his heart was tense at the moment.

"General Boduyan ordered the villain to report that there is something strange about the city wall in the east of Linzhou City! I hope the general is careful! ”

Bo Duyan's eyesight has been amazing since he was a child, and he has noticed all the small and small objects within 700 steps. Although his father is a blood clan, his mother is the daughter of a nobleman who married from the Eagle clan, so he is also the head of the two families.

He said that if there is something unusual, it must be unusual!

"Didn't Bo Duyan say anything unusual?"

"The general said that after a thousand steps away, it still didn't look real, but he saw the city wall moving!"

"Moving?" Gorihan suddenly felt a little unbelievable, the wall is dead, how to move this?

He looked intently at the eastern city wall in the distance, the east city gate divided the entire section of the city wall into the northern section and the southern section, at this time he and Boduyan's two cavalry formations had already passed the northern section of the city wall and the city gate, as long as they passed the southern section of the city wall, they could leave this ice field and cross Linzhou City.

"The whole army obeys the order, suspend the march!"

Goriham trusted the judgment of Bethuzan that an army could not be used in a hurry.

The cavalry came to a halt, and the soldiers began to look around uneasily.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look! The wall moves! ”

More and more people followed suit, exclaiming, "It's moving!" It's moving! ”

Ge Lihan looked at it intently, and suddenly understood what Bo Duyan meant.

On the east side, the north and south sections of the city wall seemed to be shaking as if they had been affected by a landslide, and the walls were constantly collapsing, as if the fortifications had been knocked down.

What's going on? Could it really be that the disaster of the earth collapse happened at this time? Ge Lihan settled down, and felt that his feet did not tremble, and he couldn't help but be even more surprised.

Suddenly, behind the formation, another cavalry from the Boduyan formation galloped forward, and before he could do it, he shouted:

"General, it's not good! Quick, disperse! The Giant Crossbow is coming! ”

"What?" Gorihan was puzzled, but when he turned his head to look at the walls again, he finally understood......

At this time, half of the earth on the city wall had been shaken off, and from the upper half, it was clear that the dense giant crossbows were erected there like stacks of arhats, forming the entire city wall into a crossbow wall.

No, rather, there were no walls at all, just two crossbow walls that were disguised with soft earth!

This made the cavalry formation in the distance completely unrecognizable, and it was only when Ge Lihan and Bedhuyan were outside the southern section of the city wall that Che Buhua and Wodar were still within range of the northern section of the crossbow wall.

Ge Lihan secretly screamed badly, and shouted: "Pass the order, everyone, retreat to the east!" Stay away from the crossbow wall! ”

Gorihan was a veteran of the army, and he knew that crossbow arrows were quite different from bows and arrows, and the bow and arrows were fast, but they shot in arcs, and if the archer did not grasp the distance well, or if the speed of the cavalry was not good, it could shoot behind the cavalry. Especially when encountering such a fast cavalry formation, often before a few arrows were fired, they were rushed to the front and were rushed to pieces.

The crossbow arrow is different, it shoots in a straight line, even if it shoots upward, the angle is not too high, and the penetration force is extremely strong, no matter how far or near it can pierce the heart with an arrow, except for Alihai in the Eight Horsemen of Blood and Smoke, no one dares to charge in the face of the crossbow array.

This is not a crossbow array, there are already two whole crossbow walls, and the only way to deal with it is to retreat sharply and out of the range of the giant ballista.

Under the order, all the cavalry immediately retreated two miles to the east.

At this distance, even a crossbow wall shouldn't be able to shoot.

Gorihan calmly thought about the next step.

With such a wide ice field, cavalry could let go of the battle as long as they did not come within range of the crossbowmen. Most of the Golden Feather Battalion are only crossbowmen, and the remaining main forces are just some infantry, how can they be my opponents of the Eight Horsemen? Even if 30,000 infantry poured out, I believe it would not be able to withstand the repeated rush of my brother Lihan and Che Buhua's double cavalry formation.

Taking a step back, as long as the Golden Feather Battalion does not come out, he has no intention of attacking the city. Qi Lie has explained that the capital of Taiye is the real goal!

Ge Lihan thought that there were no flaws in either offense or defense, and his heart was slightly settled. It's just that he is still not at ease, for fear that the enemy will have some tricks, so he stops and watches.

At this time, there was another person galloping behind the battle, but it was Boduyan himself!

"Boduyan? Why did you come here in person? ”

"Don't worry, let's talk to my brother."

"It's just some ballistas, I've been ordered to retreat and dodge, I think that if they release crossbow arrows at this distance, it will be a wasted weapon."

"I remember that the Blood Flame King once said that he would attract Hu Ying to the North City Tower, but I just saw a general on the City Tower, wearing red clothes and red robes that were very bright, vaguely a woman, I don't know if it was her, the crossbow wall and the soldiers on the city tower were all under the command of this person. Could it be that the Blood Flame King failed to hold Hu Ying back? ”

Ge Lihan shook his head and said, "No, how could the Blood Flame King not even be able to hold on to Hu Ying, not to mention Ali Hai, don't we know his ability?" I guess...... At this time, there may be more than one general in ambush in Linzhou City, Hu Ying. Didn't the Great Witch God say it before? The Bihai Kingdom sent a total of four generals over. ”

Bo Duyan was stunned and said, "Yes, then according to my brother, how should we deal with it?" ”

"You return to your formation immediately, since we are out of range, we don't have to fight, just continue to go south, if they dare to chase after them, let Wodar's riding shield block first, and then let Cut Buhua find the flaw to kill for a while, give them some color and see!"

"Good!" Bo Duyan also felt that there was nothing wrong with dealing with it in this way, and he and Ge Lihan had the same mind as they wanted to step on Taiye as soon as possible, so he turned his horse's head and galloped back to his riding formation.

Ge Li rarely traveled far away, and was about to give the order to order the whole army to continue to move forward, when suddenly the crossbow wall in the distance began to shoot, and the giant crossbow arrows attacked the sky regardless of high and low, far and near, each arrow was as thick as the trunk of a small tree, and it could still shoot such a long distance, which showed the strength of the giant ballista.

However, the cavalry formation of the four generals such as Golihan retreated far enough, and although there were many crossbow arrows fired, none of them hit, and all of them poked on the ice field.

Can't shoot or shoot?

After a little thought, Gorihan understood the enemy's intentions.

The drunkard does not mean to drink. The Golden Feather battalion deliberately made the crossbow arrows thick and heavy, and shot them all on the ice, in order to collapse the ice so that all Imuran's cavalry would sink into the ice pool under their feet.

However, they didn't know that the Great Witch God Wen Lan had already made a clever calculation, and sprinkled the falling crystal powder on this swamp in advance, and the thickness of the ice was already unusual, even if such a thick crossbow arrow pierced the ice, it was just like tickling, and it could not cause it to collapse.

Seeing that those giant crossbow arrows were still desperately shooting towards the cavalry array, Ge Lihan couldn't help but laugh a few times, waved his hand, and motioned to continue walking.

Soon you will be able to leave this swamp and ice field and leave Linzhou City.

Glaham squinted and tried to look up the east gate, and saw what appeared to be a red figure standing at the head of the city.

Is she really a woman? Hehe, there are only these few women left in Bihai Country.

His eyesight was far inferior to that of Boduyan, and he couldn't see clearly from this distance.

However, Bo Duyan did not guess wrong, the red-robed general on the city wall was one of the four generals of Bihai------ Deng Ning, the Yongxi general who guarded Chuzhou.

Deng Ning and Hu Ying actually arrived in Linzhou City at the same time. But Deng Ning has been hiding in the camp and has not met Lin Qianmo, because Lin Qianmo and most of the defenders thought that Hu Ying was the only one sitting in Linzhou City.
