"Phew...... It turned out to be a lady leading the troops...... And it's a girl, but it's beautiful! ——”

Xue Xiang spit out the straw stick in his mouth fiercely, and said to his subordinates around him in a slightly hoarse voice, his eyes still staring at the delicate figure at the head of the city.

Xue Xiang rode a high-headed horse, carefully bypassed the trenches and pits, and slowly approached the city of Pingnan Prefecture with more than a dozen subordinates. However, along the way, three of his men accidentally fell into a hidden pit and were stabbed to death by sharp bamboo or wooden sticks.

More than one hundred and fifty steps away from the city, Xue Xiang stopped, this place is generally not able to shoot with a bow and arrow, even if it hits, it can't shoot accurately, even if it is accurate, there is no lethality, not to mention that he is still wearing iron armor, it is even more foolproof.

He shouted at the top of his lungs towards the city, his sharp and high-pitched voice echoing through the position: "...... The new lord asks all the soldiers of Pingnan Prefecture City to abandon their weapons and be bound, otherwise after the city is broken, the new lord will slaughter the city, and no one will be left, please think deeply about the Pingnan Prefecture city guard......"

The soldiers of the Angel Army looked at each other, and Xin Wenli actually played the hand of persuasion.

Xia Xue's eyes were cold, she sneered, only glanced at Xue Xiang, who was riding a horse under the city, and pulled out a feather arrow, she slowly recognized the bow and arrow on the string, held the bow in her left hand, and pulled and released it in her right hand like lightning......

Xue Xiang rode a tall horse, wearing cavalry armor, showing off his might in front of the city, shouting loudly the slogan of persuasion to surrender, so unexpected......

However, he shouted a few calls, and it was quite a while, but no one responded, and Xue Xiang felt a little embarrassed.

"Fuck - no one paid any attention to me!"

Xue Xiang scolded angrily.

When he couldn't bear it anymore, he waved his horsewhip and ordered a few soldiers, "You shout with me......

"Whew-" sound-

Xue Xiang leaned back as if he had been punched head-on, and his limbs spread out and fell off his horse-

"Plop-" The weight of nearly two hundred catties of the armor fell to the ground, which startled the surrounding soldiers.

The two soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to support Captain Xue, but as soon as they pounced on Xue Xiang's side, they screamed loudly as if they had seen a ghost......

A feather arrow shot in from Captain Xue's right eye socket, broke out from the back of his head, and pierced Xue Xiang's head.

This Captain Xue has turned into a corpse that can't speak......

Before the soldiers could react, there was another "boom".

A Sui soldier on the left side of Captain Xue, who was loudly persuading him to surrender, clutched his throat and fell down without saying a word......

"Whoa—"

This time, it was a Sui soldier on the right who loudly persuaded him to surrender, and the position of the arrow was in the left eye, which was exactly the symmetrical position with Captain Xue Xiang.

"Whoa—"

A small officer behind Xue Xiang had just turned around and waved the knife in his hand to order the soldiers in the team not to panic, when a wolf's tooth arrow shot through the back of his neck.

After the petty officer screamed and fell, everyone could see that the terrible archer on the other side was taking the roll call, and whoever took the big money at this time was really looking for death......

All the people froze, no one dared to move, these soldiers, who were stunned by the fear of the instantaneous attack, lost even the courage to flee at this moment, their faces were pale, their limbs were sore, their throats could not help but squirm, and their mouths were thirsty......

The persuasion was ineffective, and Xin Wenli was furious and ordered an immediate siege of the city.

At this time, it was already dusk, the fiery red sunset sprinkled the sky and the earth, the flags of the Sui army fluttered wantonly in the distance, the horses' hooves trampled the land, and the columns of cavalry advanced. Behind them were a large group of foot soldiers with all sorts of siege engines.

According to the deployment, Zhao Ning, Wu Lei and others hurriedly ran to the other city gates with their brothers, although only the west gate in Pingnan Prefecture faced the enemy, but it was difficult to guarantee that there would be any accidents.

There is no moat outside Pingnan Prefecture, so it saves a lot of trouble. However, many pits were dug outside the city, and sharp wooden stakes were arranged inside.

Xin Wenli first sent Jianzhou County Township soldiers to serve as "cannon fodder" to find out how many traps there were outside the city.

More than 3,000 soldiers from Jianzhou County rushed forward with shouts.

The city immediately fired a dense barrage of arrows, roaring across these "cannon fodder". The ranks of the Sui army trembled visibly, and then, the ranks of soldiers lay down alternately like crops beaten by hail, and a little red blood bloomed in the crowd, gorgeous as spring flowers.

A few waves of arrows rained down. The front army of the Sui army lost a large chunk.

Countless people screamed and fell, but as the flags danced in the wind, more Sui troops followed.

The rain of stones followed the arrows and smashed down on the head and face. The archiving machines of the Angel Army are simple in structure, and instead of the huge stones, they are made of gravel in a net. But when these fist-sized stones fell from the sky, they were either killed or injured.

The sophistication of the Angel Army's equipment showed its due power at this time.

In the distance, among the Sui army, there were also changes in banners, and a neat team of 1,000 people began to move forward, straight towards the Xiongcheng in front.

More than half of the thousands of "cannon fodder" casualties of the Sui army were killed, but it was the corpses of these dead "cannon fodder" that basically filled in the pits and trenches outside the entire Pingnan Prefecture, and the Sui soldiers slowly advanced forward with the corpses of their own robes. The crossbowmen in the infantry phalanx also began to shoot arrows desperately towards the city of Pingnan Prefecture to suppress the angel army at the head of the city.

In the sky above the west gate of the entire Pingnan Prefecture City, arrows are flying!

There are constantly Sui soldiers who are shot by arrows or hit by stones and fall screaming, and there are also Angel soldiers who are shot by arrows and fall.

In the crossbow shooting, the angel army's bow and crossbow were much more sophisticated, and coupled with their condescending, they naturally had the upper hand.

And Xin Wenli was not to be outdone, hundreds of soldiers of the Sui army had roared and pushed their trebuchets to break into the range of the angel army, large and small stones fell from the sky, sweeping the entire city, and there were constantly angel soldiers who were injured or killed by stones.

As soon as it began, the battle was at a fever pitch.

Arrows were like locusts, rocks were like rain, and the entire Pingnan Prefecture was shrouded in the earth-shaking sound of killing. The flags of the Sui army swayed in the wind, and the Sui army roared angrily and threw themselves towards the city wall, like the rolling and roaring waves on the sea, about to completely smash the reef into pieces.

Naturally, Xin Wenli will not just attack, but also a few teams of 1,000 people carrying simple siege equipment such as ladders and running towards several other city gates in Pingnan Prefecture. Although he knew that he couldn't attack it, he had to at least contain part of the Angel Army's forces there.

Before they even rushed to the place where the ladder could be erected, more than half of the 1,000-strong squad of the Sui army had already suffered casualties, but the soldiers behind still did not hesitate to go out of the crowd.

Under the dim yellow sky, trebuchets creaked. Projectiles weighing more than 100 catties flew up to the clouds one after another, and then fell with a roar. The wind smashes the walls back and forth.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The sound of the stones touching the walls was like thunder.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-" The mournful sound of the horn was like a ghost crying.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The sound of war drums matches the rhythm of the heartbeat, which makes people's blood boil.

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, horns and drums, groups of Sui soldiers rushed out from behind the smoke and dust, holding shields, holding bows, and carrying ladders, heading straight for the city wall of Pingnan Prefecture.

A few arrows and a few stones whistled through the air, passing past Xia Xue, almost hitting the queen, but Xia Xue's face did not change and did not care.

Zhao Feng and Ouyang Qian, who were not far away, broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Xia Xue to hide in the city tower, but Xia Xue waved her hand lightly, she has a future high-tech bulletproof helmet and clothing protection, so she is not afraid of arrows, but the stones are still a little threatening.

In order to boost morale, no matter how dangerous it is, she can't hide.

Ouyang Qian hurriedly ordered several angel sergeants to hold large shields in front of the queen.

Xia Xue really didn't expect the Sui army led by Xin Wenli to be so strong.
