In fact, without waiting for Xiao Maha's order to be conveyed, Pei Zilie had already hurried to Xiao Maha's army with a few personal guards.

Although Pei Zilie has also followed Wu Mingche on the battlefield for many years, he has not seen much of such a spectacular siege scene in front of him.

The black pressure of the tide of Nan Chen's army roared forward, and the ladder trucks and siege vehicles moved against the whistling arrows in the sound of neat trumpets. From time to time, ladder trucks or siege engines were set on fire by the fire bolts on the city, turning into a huge torch that burned brightly into the gloomy sky.

The wide moat outside Jiangling City has completely turned into the color of blood, and many places in the river have been cut off, bridge erection vehicles and large and small wooden planks have blocked the river, based on this, a large number of sandbags and stones are piled up around, of course, on and under the bridge, more are the corpses of Nan Chen's soldiers, and the layers of corpses are wrapped around sandbags and stones, completely cutting off the moat.

From time to time, the advancing soldiers threw their sandbags and stones into the river, and soon most of them were shot and fell, becoming part of the river's blockage as well as what they had painstakingly carried to the city.

Following them closely, the crossbowmen did their best to suppress the city under the cover of the shieldmen, while ladder carts and simple ladders continued to cross through the gaps of the crossbowmen, struggling forward.

Because of the rain before, the ground was quite muddy, and from time to time there were heavy ladder trucks in the mud, and in an instant they became live targets for fire arrows at the head of the city, and the soldiers above and below the ladder trucks were on fire, screaming and jumping down, rolling all over the ground.

However, more ladder trucks still relentlessly crossed the bridge made of corpses and continued to approach the Gangneung city wall, and the soldiers on the top of the ladder cars were shooting at the head of the city with oncoming arrows. Countless stones crossed over their heads and smashed into the city.

At the same time, several bridges that were originally erected on the moat in front of the city gate were also removed and used for use, and the rushing cars that had been burned before were directly pushed off the bridge by the soldiers in the rain of arrows, as another bridge erection car blocked half of the river, and the rushing cars that followed slowly went to the bridge, this time Nan Chen obviously did his best, and the two rushing cars were aimed at the two city gates at the same time.

After all, Jiangling is an important town in Jiangbei and the imperial capital of Western Liang, in order to facilitate access, a city gate actually has three door openings, one large and two small, as long as you can break through any of them, you can naturally rush into the city. If it weren't for the fact that although the stone bridge over the river is spacious, it can barely accommodate two rushing cars, I'm afraid Xiao Maha would not hesitate to add another rushing car.

Stones and torches were smashed down from the city gates, and Nan Chen's trebuchets, bed crossbows, and crossbowmen's bows were also aimed at the city gates, suppressing each other to the death.

"General?" One of the guards whispered.

"Let's go!" Pei Zilie nodded, and rode his horse in the direction where Xiao Maha's banner was.

When he saw this tragic scene of siege, Pei Zilie understood how correct he was to follow Li Xinchen's advice and make the choice. The 3,000 men under his command were thrown into this siege, and I am afraid that in two days, only corpses and bones will remain.

Maybe only Li Xinchen can give full play to the role of these 3,000 people, recalling that starting from Baling, holding Fan Yi hostage, smuggling across the river, and outflanking Ji Nan, Li Xinchen's every move seems to be a dangerous move, but every time he grasps the key point, and it is the key point of Fan Yi, Lu Teng and Xiao Yue, the three famous generals and even the emperor.

This guy is really not simple

In Pei Zilie's original opinion, Li Xinchen is worthy of respect more because of Li Cheng, after all, Pei Zilie admires the prestige of the Shixing Gun King, and after getting along with Li Xinchen for a long time, he found that this person never seemed to really get anything important from Li Cheng, and all the decisions he made were based on his own judgment.

Shaking her head, Pei Zilie didn't let herself think about it anymore, after all, she still had more urgent things to do in front of her, and the more than 2,000 brothers led by Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian were still waiting for his support.

"The last general, Pei Zilie, see General Zuowei!" Pei Zilie rolled over from his horse and stepped onto the drum platform with three strikes and five divisions.

Xiao Maha was also slightly stunned, Pei Zilie came too fast, and even the guards didn't have time to report: "Dashi, you have a loud drum here, you and I will talk in another place." ”

--

"Discover the Northern Zhou Sentinel Cavalry, one mile west of the city!"

"Our army's outpost is three miles away from Zhangshan County!" Meteors followed.

Li Xinchen stood on the side of the road with his sleeves rolled, looking at Li Ping's unfolded map, he raised his arm to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, and then turned to look at Chen Zhishen beside him: "What about Brother Boqing?" ”

Playing as a striker is obviously Xiao Shilian has the same obsession as his father back then, and Li Xinchen has no intention of competing for this position with him, after all, the Xiao family is "professional", and Xiao Shilian is indeed more suitable than himself.

"Here!" Without waiting for Chen Zhishen to answer, Xiao Shilian's voice had already sounded.

"Found the barbarian's sentry?" Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Shilian's face was solemn, and he bowed slightly: "And there are quite a few people, both in the west and east of the city, and it is estimated that there are more in the north of the city, and even a certain suspect that the barbarians have rushed into the city now." And we are still more than two miles away from Zhangshan County. ”

Li Xinchen looked at the sky, it was already evening, but the thick clouds covered the sun, obviously the previous heavy rain had a great tendency to make a comeback:

"This rain is estimated to be fast, we can't wait in the field, the scouts are not terrible, as long as their scouts are still there, it means that their main force is still some distance away, and the most we have encountered are forwards."

Xiao Shilian looked at him in surprise: "Shizhong, what do you mean?" ”

Li Xinchen shouted at the distant sky: "Hurry up, rush in, and take advantage of the fact that the barbarians have not yet gained a firm foothold in the city, let's take the city!" ”

"This" Li Xinchen's boldness made Xiao Shilian shudder.

"Why, don't you dare?" Li Xinchen squinted, "We are now in the wilderness of the plains, there is a strong city in front of us, a wasteland in the back, there are mountains on the left, there is water on the right, there is no way to retreat, there is no way to turn, the only thing we can do is to move forward!" ”

As soon as Li Xinchen's voice fell, Chen Zhishen around him and several battle masters and generals who followed Xiao Shilian all took a breath of cool air. At this time, they are also aware of the danger of their situation.

This Zhangshan County is located on the main road, guarding the throat of Jingshan and controlling the road. And because of the rain in the past few days, the southern road is quite muddy, everyone walked here and took a lot of effort, at this time want to turn around and return to the south, it is easy to be intercepted by the Northern Zhou army in the field, it is even more dangerous.

Obviously, the Northern Zhou army would not let go of the opportunity to practice with this small army of Southern Chen.
