Shiji Tsuchihara's figure was slightly emaciated, he had a braid on his head, a handful of beard under his nostrils and the corners of his mouth, his eyes were sharp, his hooked nose and thin lips gave people a hazy and treacherous feeling, and when the five legions appeared at the foot of the city gate, he rode a war horse and walked slowly towards the gate alone.

At this moment, the sky above the city gate was full of prisoners again, and the captives were lined up at the edge of the city wall, Tuyuan Shiji had asked Ling Xia how to defend the city before, and summed up Ling Xia's tricks, the first was to threaten with hostages, the second was to withdraw troops to attract people, and the third was to close the door and set fire, and now seeing Ling Xia coming again, Tuyuan Shiji showed a sneer:

"Your Excellency, please come out and talk about it, I already know your details, you are the husband of Princess Xia Ning'er, and you were named the number one warrior in the world by the old emperor of your country, as far as I know, there is a division under your command, the name is the Battle Flag Division, this is a reinforced division, the number is about 60,000, am I right?"

Ling Xia stepped on the city wall with one foot and said: "This new commander-in-chief, hello, please forgive me, the city gate under me was killed by stones, so I can't go out of the city to talk to you, I can only talk to you from here through the wall, what you just said is right, there is nothing wrong with it, the only flaw is the number of people you said wrong, the number of divisions in the theater is more than 60,000 people." ”

Seeing Ling Xia stepping on the city wall with one foot, holding his hands in front of his chest, looking like a hanger, ruffian, and bad, Tuyuan Shiji felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, however, he didn't see the slightest abnormality on his face, he glanced up at the captives above the city wall, and he said lightly: "You don't have to pretend to be calm from there, I know that you are now a bare-bones commander."

You fought a really beautiful battle before, and tens of thousands of people actually killed 300,000 soldiers and horses of our country, but killed 10,000 enemies and lost 8,000, and our side lost more than 300,000 soldiers, but your side must have paid a heavy price, and the 60,000 people under your command almost died, right? You're not going to be counting on the captives to hold up the façade now, are you? Tsuchihara Shiji asked tentatively.

Ling Xia was not fooled at all, seeing that Tuyuan Shier wanted to set his tone, Ling Xia shrugged: "You can give it a try, today you put on such a big formation, is it just to show off your strength?" If you want to fight, you don't dare to come over, and if you don't fight, you can't talk about it, so you ran here without anything to talk to, the purpose is to find out the truth on my side. ”

"Guess right, since you see through it, then I'm not welcome, I bet that there is no one under your command," Speaking of this, Shiji Tsuchihara turned around and commanded behind: "The siege corps is ready to attack the city with long ladders, with archers and shield soldiers covering, and the five legions will attack at the same time, regardless of whether the other party has hidden forces or not, I will use absolute superiority to break through the city." ”

"Rush!"

After the order of Tsuchihara Shiji was issued, the enemy's five legions all rushed towards the opposite city, because the city gate was sealed by stones, so they prepared countless pairs of ten-meter-long "ladders" in advance, "six soldiers carried a pair of ladders, came to the city wall, the four people put the ladder on the side of the city wall, they held it, and the soldiers behind climbed up the ladder.

With the sound of killing, the enemy siege troops crawled towards the city wall like ants, at this time, the division led by Xiang Kunlun and Nangong Xiu immediately stormed the arrow tower, using bows and arrows to shoot at the city, many spearmen also ran to the city wall, in order to avoid being shot by the enemy archers, they used spears to pick off the ladder on the city wall.

Although the two divisions on the side of the battle guard participated in the city defense, but the number of enemy troops was too much, the two divisions plus the people on Ling Xia's side, the total number was only 75,000 people, but the other side had 100,000 siege corps, not to mention the other four legions, it was better at first, but when the enemy's five legions all rushed under the city wall, the situation was critical.

"General Ling, it's not good, the five legions of the other side are pressing the border, and the enemy's siege corps and the troops in charge of covering have come to the city, what should we do? The number of enemy troops is too much, if we let the other side attack, we won't be able to stop it for long," Watching the enemy's successive offensives, Nangong Xiu was a little worried.

"Pull off the chains that bind the captives and let them return to their camp." Ling Xia seemed to be prepared.

After Ling Xia's order was issued, Situ Chenfeng led people to untie the chains strung on the prisoners, and the captives who were originally strung together by huge chains instantly regained their freedom, although their hands and feet were still shackled, but they were already able to move on their own, and when the chains were taken away, some radicals led by Yasuo Miyano suddenly saw hope.

They took advantage of the gap that the war guards did not pay attention to, they ran to the city wall, jumped from the top and jumped down, although the city wall is ten meters high, but there are many island soldiers at the bottom to respond, plus they themselves are all practitioners, so there is no need to worry about falling and hurting, after jumping down, Miyano Yuyasu excitedly shouted: "Thank you Amaterasu for your protection." ”

Seeing that Miyano Xiongan jumped down, more and more prisoners jumped down, and the soldiers who were originally attacking the city saw their captives jumping off the wall and returning, they immediately stopped the attack, and after putting away their weapons, they raised their hands to meet the prisoners on the city wall, and for a while, they saw the prisoners on the city wall jumping down crackling.

Seeing that the 110,000 captives were about to jump away, Xiang Kunlun suddenly became anxious, he walked to Ling Xia's side, and asked in a loud voice: "General Ling, how can you order those prisoners to be released, although this can relieve the siege pressure of the enemy army, but this is only temporary, and after those prisoners all jump down, the enemy army will make a comeback." ”

"Yes, these captives used to act as a barrier, and the enemy did not dare to use powerful siege crossbows such as catapults, but now that they have rescued those captives, when they attack the city again, they will have no scruples in their hearts, and at that time, we will not have a meat shield to resist those stone bullets." Nangong Xiu also showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

Hearing the words of the two of them, and seeing the puzzled eyes of the generals around him, Ling Xia smiled faintly: "Do you remember the trick you two used to use the rotten "prisoner out of the city" strategy?" Because of your overuse, when the prisoners left the city in the later period, the enemy side did not dare to accept the prisoners, and now I have changed it, and the prisoners out of the city have been changed to prisoners jumping out of the city, so you can wait and see. ”

"Captives jumping from the city? What do you mean? Don't? Speaking ......of this, Xiang Kunlun and the others hurriedly looked left and right, and after taking a look around, he found that Yue Qianfeng, Ji Mo and the others had suddenly disappeared.
