Chapter 40: Seize the Door

These small cannons are all scattered bullets, just some iron sand and stones, "Boom." With a bang, a large number of people hit the hungry people below, and suddenly countless people fell to the ground, howling loudly.

Accustomed to life and death, but killed by arrows, these hungry people can still imagine, but this "boom." With a bang, the people below were covered in blood, which frightened these hungry people at once.

The loud howls also thought that the few little morale of these hungry people had melted away.

Their original intention was just to eat a meal, and no one wanted to lose their lives for a meal.

Suddenly, several people fled backwards.

There was a lead, and suddenly many people were watching.

Rushing down from the clear horse's hooves, it was Wang Lung, Wang Long with more than a hundred cavalry behind him, rushed towards these deserters in front of him, Xue Liang's long knife waved, blood rushed to the sky, and these people had been cut down under the horse.

At this time, Wang Lung did not stop, but continued to drive his horse past the rear of the formation, and those hungry people behind were suddenly frightened and rushed forward like crazy.

The people in the back crowded the people in front, and I don't know how many people fell into the moat, although the moat had dried up, but there was still some silt. He didn't fall and hurt himself.

"Kill." Several of the warriors who had been planted among the hungry people shouted loudly, shouting and driving the hungry people to carry the long ladder to the top of the city.

"Boom." Another cannon shot.

These small cannons only blocked the vicinity of the city gate. For a moment, the hungry people opened the gates of the city and threw themselves on both sides.

In this way, it has been about an hour since the starving people started, and Zhang Xuan and the others have really begun to play a role.

Countless hungry people dropped the long ladder on the top of the city, many people held on, and there were many people on the head of the city to push down, this kind of long ladder is just an ordinary long ladder, not a cloud ladder, and there is no ladder with a barb at the head of the long ladder, all of which were easily overturned, but overturned, and were lifted up again.

And more people in the city smashed the stones they had at hand.

Although the person who threw the stone did not have a precise head, there were too many people below, and even if he closed his eyes and threw it, he could hit someone.

The city wall of Nanyang City is only four or five meters high, and there are no bricks, and there are even traces of large areas of wild grass on it, which are obviously in disrepair and are only being maintained in a hurry.

Such a city wall, such an attack and defense, in Zhang Xuan's eyes, is too informal, it is just a farce, but it is also a farce played with life.

"It's almost time for the fire." When Zhang Xuan was paying attention to the battlefield, he was reminded by Cao Zongyu.

Only then did he notice that the city wall of Li Xu Chang was already in full battle at this moment, although the city was not besieging any elite army, but it did not mean that there were no elite troops mixed in it, at least at the city gate, there were more than 100 people brave the bombardment of a few small cannons, continue to attack the city, and some people continue to shoot arrows at the city. For a while, all the keys were pinned.

At this time, it is a good time to launch.

"Boom." There was a roar.

This roar was not the sound of artillery on the city, but a small cannon exploding.

To be honest, Zhang Xuan never thought that it was so small, weighing less than 100 catties, placed on the ground, there was no knee-high cannon, and it was still a scattered bullet, with a range of only a few tens of meters, only covering a large area of the city.

Such a cannon can also explode. This is simply beyond Zhang Xuan's imagination.

However, even if Zhang Xuan's decision was incredible, he still knew what to do.

"Rush over." Zhang Xuan whispered to Cao Zongyu.

Cao Zongyu tore off the beard attached to his face, along with the blindfold covering one eye, and said loudly: "People from the Cao family, kill me." ”

Cao Zongyu held back the resentment for I don't know how many years, and it broke out in an instant, he stepped forward a few steps, and cut a servant in two, and the blood instantly sprayed more than a dozen people in the city, Cao Zongyu was covered in blood, and shouted: "Death to those who stand in my way." ”

When a man covered in blood, with his beard and hair all open, and a knife that cut a man in half, shouted so angrily, several of these people who had gone to the city for a meal resisted to the end and avoided it, and some were even frightened and fell from the top of the city to the ground.

As soon as Cao Zongyu moved, Cao Tie followed closely behind Cao Zongyu, and picked up the long knife on the ground that had been cut in half. The man behind him, even though he had no weapons and was armed with a wooden club, followed.

No, there is another person with a weapon, and this person is Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan pulled out his long sword, not daring to be at the rear, lest he be surrounded by the people behind, let alone rushing to the front. So he mixed in with the crowd and followed.

"Drumming. The whole army attacked. Luo Rucai was waiting for this time, and at the sound of an order, all the rebels rushed down, dismounted more than 100 meters away from the city wall, and pounced on the city wall. Most of the people in the city were stunned, they didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't care about defending the city for a while, the clever people, the rebels fled quietly, and the unclever people also hugged their heads and found a place to hide.

In an instant, where Cao Zongyu passed, most of the city walls lost their defensive ability.

"What's going on?" Yan Riyu pointed at Cheng Wenying angrily and said.

Cheng Wenying was also taken aback, watching Cao Zongyu rush over, and didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only say expectantly: "I, I, I ----."

Yan Riyu's face turned pale, and he drew his long sword and said, "If the city is lost, I will kill you." He turned his head and said, "Sons, follow the old man to kill the thief." ”

Yan Riyu is old, he can still have some strength, he goes into battle just to deliver food to the enemy, but Yan Riyu knows that now the situation has reached the point where he can't work hard, how can he give up his old life, how can he boost morale.

"Why bother the boss, the end will be the thief for the boss." Qian Baihu shouted, and without waiting for Yan Riyu to say anything, he rushed over.

"When." Qian Baihu came suddenly, Cao Zongyu grabbed Qian Baihu's long knife with a knife, Cao Zongyu said: "It turned out to be Qian Xunwu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

When Qian Baihu heard Cao Zongyu's figure, he looked at Cao Zongyu's face again, and was immediately shocked, and said, "Cao Dalang." ”

People have their own circles, the Cao family is very strict, when Cao Zongyu was in Nanyang, he rarely came out to socialize, so the people in the county government were not familiar with him, but he also had his own social circle, and the people who communicated with him were capable martial artists, such as Qian Xunwu.

So the two are familiar.

Cao Zongyu said: "The enmity of the ancestors, I want to ask you back today." ”、

Qian Xunwu's face was straight, and he said: "Although I am sorry for the matter of Ling Zu, I have a clear conscience, and the Cao family has been loyal and good for generations, and now Cao Dalang is a thief, which is an insult to the family." ”

An insult to the door of the family suddenly stabbed Cao Zongyu's vital point. Cao Zongyu suddenly jumped like thunder, although he participated in the rebel army for various reasons, he was still ashamed of the rebel army, so he was so angry. Cao Zongyu clenched his teeth, and the green tendons on his face burst out. Slash it with a knife.

Qian Xunwu also fought to the death, and for a while, the two couldn't hold each other.

Qian Xunwu was able to recognize him, which showed that before, even if they were not good friends, they were acquaintances, but so, the two sides were going to fight to the death on this city.

How wide the city wall was, as soon as Cao Zongyu was blocked, everyone could not advance or retreat without being blocked for a while. Yan Riyu took advantage of this time to regroup his morale. Prepare for engagement.

Compared with the number of people, Zhang Xuan and his entourage are not as heavy as Yan Riyu's capital after all. After a long time, maybe this Nanyang City can be breached, and Zhang Xuan will become a martyr.

Time is very ruthless, these old people of the Cao family, if they were born and died for the Cao family back then, they would not hesitate, but now this little master, as soon as he comes over, without saying a word, he will let people come to work hard, and it is normal for them to hesitate a little.

But there is one person who will not hesitate, and that is Cao Tie.

Cao Tie threw the long knife violently, and he found a good position, which was exactly where Qian Xunwu had to avoid.

"When." With a bang, Qian Xunwu's long knife slashed the long knife thrown by Cao Tie into the air. He only felt that his eyes were dark, and Cao Zongyu's long knife had been raised high.
