August 18, Linyuan Pass......

"General Wei, look! It's a siege tower! ”

"Octagonal crossbow aim! Archers on standby! Don't let them come close! ”

Wei Xian, the guard of Linyuan Pass, looked at the dozen or so huge "monsters" slowly approaching in the distance, his face was extremely solemn, once they were allowed to get close to the wall, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

The Shangguan Army's offensive for five consecutive days, regardless of casualties, really made the soldiers of the Linyuan Pass defenders feel pressure, and now the countless siege towers that broke the city are imprinted, and it has to be said that it is another sign of a fierce battle.

"Hey~"

"Hey~"

A burst of drinking echoed around the moving siege tower, and the soldiers who pushed the siege tower body used their strength to eat, and under the supervision of the commander behind them, they gritted their teeth and shouted a neat trumpet and gradually approached the Linyuan Pass wall.

Behind each siege tower, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers were clinging to each other, bowing over and clutching the handle of their swords, following the tower to move slowly, and when it approached the city wall, they quickly climbed the tower to attack the city and fight to the death with the officers and soldiers of the governor's palace.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

The stern defender soldier couldn't bear the psychological pressure brought by the behemoth for a while, and a soldier who controlled the octagonal crossbow took the lead in shouting and pulled the trigger, but when he heard a shocking sound of strings, the thick black crossbow spear on the octagonal crossbow was immediately ejected and landed in the sea of people hundreds of paces away, but it did not bring a trace of surging.

Due to the mistake of the defender's crossbowman, the remaining dozen octagonal crossbows on the wall were also instructed by the wrong message, and they all shot their loaded crossbow spears at the siege towers that were far from range......

"Bastard, who told you to let it go? Don't hurry up and reload! ”

When Wei Xian saw that the crossbow spear fell into the sea of people on the city wall, he was immediately angry, and hurriedly ordered the crossbowman to reset the octagonal crossbow.

"Kill~"

At the same time, when the siege tower approached, there was also a sea of people under the wall. But I saw a group of officers and soldiers from all over the place, who were obviously used as cannon fodder, under the coercion of the Shangguan generals, carrying ladders and hardwood inlaid with iron sheets, screaming and rushing towards the wall and the main gate of the city.

"Bang ......"

Rolling stones and timbers fell mercilessly from the walls, smashing into the crowd of people, and a cry of pain rang out.

"Ah, my legs, help me~"

A group of soldiers who were carrying ladders to rush into battle were knocked to the ground by the falling wood, and the wood with iron thorns fell to the hard ground at the moment it flicked, piercing the legs of a frightened soldier on the ground, but after seeing a pool of red blood stretching out around the wood, the soldiers lying on the ground let out an extremely painful wail.

"Don't come, no~"

The huge rolling stone smashed a group of soldiers carrying the crashing wood, and rose into the air, continued to roll forward and leap a few steps, and finally landed heavily on the back of the crawling soldier, shattering all his internal organs.

The soldier screamed, and the seven holes suddenly flowed blood, until he spat out a mouthful of thick blood, which did not make a sound, and he fell into darkness in pain......

"Fluttering ......"

"Poof~"

Seeing that the offensive had been frustrated and his companions had suffered heavy casualties, one of the officers and soldiers immediately looked for an opportunity to run to the rear, but as soon as he let go, he was shot through the chest by a speeding feather arrow, and fell under the wall in disbelief.

"Those who dare to retreat, this is an example!"

The general of the prison army who shot the deserter with that arrow roared angrily at the officers and soldiers around him with a megaphone wrapped in iron sheets, and at the same time, hundreds of prison soldiers around him showed their swords in unison, which made those siege officers and soldiers who were afraid of other calculations only continue to advance hard.

"Rush in, you'll be almost at the city hole, hahahaha......"

A group of soldiers who had survived the fall of the arrows swooped down on the hole with their heavy banging logs and gritted their teeth, and just as they were about to get excited about rushing into the "safety" of the place, the god of luck had quietly left, and the shadow of death hung over their heads.

"呲~~"

"Ah~Mom, my eyes~"

"My scalp is gone~~"

"No~my hand~my hand~ah~~"

As they were about to rush into the cave, the hot gold juice poured down from the top of the city, splashing on the soldiers.

But when I saw them howling in unison, the boiling and foul-smelling juice seeped into their skin from their military hats and armor, and the skin was hot.

Half of a soldier's cheek had been burned with gold juice, but the mutilated area was exposed, revealing red and bloody teeth, and a trace of white smoke was rising from the gums, which made people shudder to watch.

The other soldier was even more terrifying, only to see that his entire scalp was poured, and his gloomy skull was exposed to everyone's eyes, and his body on the ground was constantly twitching.

There was also a soldier who looked at his boneless palm, let out an inhuman-like cry, and rushed back and forth desperately, unable to believe that all this was true in his frightened eyes.

This team of twelve soldiers has been completely wasted in life and death, the toxin in the gold juice has seeped into their bone marrow, and the hot weather makes the affected area extremely susceptible to infection, and the chance of survival is almost zero.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding~"

At this moment, a hurried retreat bell rang from the large array behind the Shangguan army. The officers and soldiers who heard the bell immediately dropped the ladder in their hands, hit the wood, and ran to the rear at a rapid pace, wishing that their legs would be long enough to stay away from this forbidden place of death.

And the commanding general on the side of the siege tower sighed: "Alas...... What are you doing, tossing people so much, the whole army obeys the order, stops moving forward, and moves closer to the main formation! ”

The soldiers who were pushing the siege tower heard the order to retreat, and immediately turned around and slowly retreated to the rear, while the soldiers who pushed the tower shouted and cursed, but they could only change the direction according to the military order and push the siege tower to move to their own rear camp.

"Whew~"

Wei Xian and the defenders on the wall exhaled in unison, to be honest, he didn't know how to deal with the approach of those behemoths now, once he got close to the city wall, he might have to start hand-to-hand combat, but then his defenders would lose a lot of money.

"Hurry up and rest, clean up the battlefield, and move all the corpses that are low! In addition, I hurriedly burned the gold juice, and sent someone to Dingyang to the governor's palace to ask when the reinforcements would arrive! ”

After Wei Xian finished conveying the military order, he only felt a feeling of weakness all over his body, and hurriedly leaned down behind a battlement wall to rest, and at the same time secretly said in his heart Why did Shangguan Jun retreat in a good manner? In this situation, they haven't lost too much in their headquarters.

At this time, the Shangguan army camp was ......

"Ah, help me, I don't want to die yet......"

"General, I'm only sixteen, please find me a Lang Zhongzhi, I'm the only seedling at home, or you can let me go, I'm gone now......"

"I can't see anything in my eyes~It hurts~"

In one part of the barracks, there were wailing voices everywhere, and most of these officers and soldiers from all over the country who were used as cannon fodder were collectively placed in one place after being rescued back to the barracks, and no one came to treat them, saying that there were insufficient military doctors, but in fact, they were ...... Everyone understands that they have been abandoned, and even if they are saved, they will be crippled, and they will only become a burden in the army......

Shangguan Fei was in charge of the main account, Shangguan Yun opened the curtain with an angry face and shouted dissatisfiedly at Shangguan Fei, who had a sad face on the main case: "Father, why do you want to withdraw the army!" Today's situation is very favorable for us! ”

Shangguan Fei sighed when he heard this, shook his head with a wry smile, and then moved a square piece of paper in front of the case towards Shangguan Yun: "You can take a look at this newspaper yourself, the ...... will come out five days ago."

Shangguan Yun immediately stepped forward to pick up the newspaper and looked at it, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of uncontrollable expression.

After the shock, he also showed the same sad face as his father, and asked with a hint of suspicion: "Youzhou was pacified by Liu Ce so quickly?" What do Su Jingshan and Dong Tianke eat? ”
