In Shaanzhou in January, the weather is still unusually cold, although this year is relatively warm, there is not much snow, but the air is still full of cold air, which makes people feel refreshed.

After the city wall of Shaanzhou City has been reinforced many times, although it is not as tall and thick as the city wall of Luoyang, it is not much worse, and it can be called a real solid gold.

Rows of ballistae are neatly placed in the aisle of the castle tower, and there is a large wooden box next to it, which is full of crossbow arrows for ballistas.

After Joey and Liu Menghan's improvements again and again, the service life of the ballista has been significantly improved, and the range and penetration have also been greatly improved, but correspondingly, the cost has also increased a lot.

But then again, is Zhao Fan short of money? It seems that there is really no shortage! So what's there to worry about, make a lot of effort...

At Zhao Fan's insistence, one by one ballista carts were manufactured and distributed to the generals of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and Zhao Wei was naturally no exception, and the warehouse in Shaanzhou City was also full of ballistas.

Countless soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army, ignoring the bad weather, used their bodies to resist the invasion of the cold wind, and stuck to their posts, no one had any complaints, and the cold weapons in their hands were always held in their hands, as if the enemy would appear in the next moment.

"General, do you think the enemy will really come to sneak attack?"

In the city tower, a lieutenant general shrank his head, put his hand on the bonfire, and said with some suspicion.

"General Wu, are you questioning Your Majesty?" Zhao Wei browsed the military book in his hand by the light of the fire, and said without raising his head, his words were full of coldness.

"It's... The last will not dare! General Wu was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was speechless, he quickly shook his head and hurriedly defended.

"Anyway, Your Majesty told us to be careful tonight, then let's just do it, it's easy to have an accident if you think too much, do you understand?" Zhao Wei closed the book of war in his hand, looked up at General Wu, and said in a deep voice.

"It's... The end will understand, the end will understand. General Wang nodded, hurriedly picked up his weapon, and hurried back to the city wall.

Zhao Wei looked at General Wu's back, a trace of concern flashed in his eyes, maybe his lieutenant should be replaced, the people of the Heavenly Mandate Army must obey the royal family 100% and do not allow any accidents.

……

The moon was high and the wind was dark, and countless black shadows came out of Li Maozhen's camp, Li Maozhen was standing under the torches, waiting for the troops to be assembled, and Wang Xingyu and Yang Shouliang were shuttling back and forth in the queue, constantly urging the soldiers.

"Hurry up, hurry up, get the line up."

"Who, what are you doing there? What about your own team? ”

"Look at what you mean!"

"Who, let everyone wrap the horse's hooves in cotton cloth and tie the horse's mouth, so as not to make any noise and expose their whereabouts."

Li Maozhen looked at the bustling queue, the 100,000 army couldn't see the end at a glance, and couldn't help but feel arrogant in his heart, raised the long knife in his hand and shouted, "Everyone, horses and mouths, people are in charge, the target is Shaanzhou City, let's go!" ”

For a while, the 100,000 army was like a whirlwind, frantically rushing towards Shaanzhou City, but because of the adequate preparation, it didn't make any sound, just like a group of ghosts.

It's here, it's coming soon!

Li Maozhen took the lead, running at the forefront of the army, and the walls of Shaanzhou City quickly enlarged in his eyes, which couldn't help but make him feel a feeling of rapid heartbeat, and his breathing became short, and his eyes stared at the city of Shaanzhou, for fear that a team of patrolling sentinels would suddenly appear and expose his whereabouts.

Fortunately, it may be because of the weather, the entire Shaanzhou city is dark, not to mention the shadows, not even the fire, probably everyone is hiding and lazy.

God help me! Li Maozhen's heart was ecstatic, as if Shaanzhou City had been taken by herself, Zhao Fan was holding his thighs and trembling, crying and begging to be the regent of Laoshizi, not only to marry the princess to himself, but also to give Tangbao Industry to himself.

Li Maozhen waved his hand, and immediately rushed out of a group of soldiers behind him, and several simple pontoon bridges were immediately erected.

"Quick, give it to me!"

Li Maozhen let out a low shout, and suddenly dozens of soldiers rushed towards the gate of Shaanzhou City, and after a light sound, several simple ladders quickly leaned against the city wall, several soldiers held the ladder, and more than a dozen soldiers immediately climbed up along the ladder.

A moment later, there was a scream from the city wall, followed by the sound of a human body falling to the ground.

Li Maozhen looked at the city head nervously, holding the reins in her hands, her palms were already full of hot sweat, her eyes were staring at the city gate, waiting for her soldiers to open the city gate and put herself and others into the city.

Just when Li Maozhen was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, eager to climb the city wall himself, a piercing loud noise came, and the city gate finally opened slowly.

"Hahahaha, quick, rush in for me!"

Li Maozhen looked at the open city gate, and felt happy for a while, without the protection of the city wall, Shaanzhou City is a beautiful woman who has stripped naked, isn't it still trampled by others?

Dog Emperor, aren't you very arrogant? I'm coming in soon, and you're coming to see me!" It is said that you are a wise gentleman, with strong ability and many ideas, but what about that? Isn't it going to be planted in my hands today Li Maozhen?

"Kill!"

With Li Maozhen's order, the soldiers beside him rushed towards Shaanzhou City as if they were crazy, and two or three thousand cavalry shouted killing and rushed into Shaanzhou City.

"Emperor Xiao'er, today I will make you my Li Maozhen's prisoner!" Li Maozhen couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the cavalry rushing in.

"Oh, really?"

Just when Li Maozhen was roaring arrogantly, a sneer suddenly came out of the city, if it weren't for Li Maozhen's ears, he might not be able to hear it.

In a moment, I saw that countless torches were suddenly erected on the city wall, illuminating the entire Shaanzhou City, countless crossbowmen stood up from behind the city wall, and the crossbow carts on the city tower also adjusted their direction and aimed at Li Maozhen's army under the city.

Countless arrows flashed with cold light, shining on Li Maozhen's face, Li Maozhen's eyes changed, the arrogant laughter on his face had already solidified, and he heard the sound of strings pulling and winding at the head of the city, his face was even more ugly, and his back was cold.

As for the soldiers of Li Maozhen's army, who were still frantically rushing towards Shaanzhou City just now, they also lost their momentum, and their shouts of killing stopped instantly, and they looked at the firmly closed city gate in front of them with a pale face, which was the inner gate of the urn city!
