The men of the Western Army quickly pushed the shield cart and rushed towards the silent Jing'an City with a loud roar. It's really quiet in the city. Just like the previous Western military barracks. But in the next moment, the western army under the city rushed over like a flood that had released the sluice!

At the gap in the west city, Fang Xuedu was hiding in the nest on the back of the city wall, and was sleeping heavily, when he heard the crowd outside the city shouting, he immediately jumped up and called for people to come and put on armor for himself. I knew in my heart that the Song army outside the city was about to launch an onslaught again. When I got to the top of the city, I saw it!

"Quick! Man your posts! Song Jun knocks on the city! Retreater, die! ”

The hysterical shouts of the city leaders reassured some of the soldiers who had no masters. A handful of crossbowmen twisted their bowstrings, while archers lined up behind the female walls on either side of the notch, setting up their arrows to wind their arrows.

Fang Xuedu's face was as calm as water, and he couldn't see the slightest panic, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.

"Divine Arm Bow! Put! ”

The bow is like a thunderbolt! The sharp short arrow in the arrow groove roared out! Almost at the same time as the strings sounded, many soldiers of the siege troops of the Western Army who bravely ascended the city fell to the ground! The Divine Arm Bow has a very long range and great power, unless it is a shield cart to block it, or even a heavy shield may be shot through.

But the shortcoming of this weapon of mass destruction is also obvious, that is, the problem of continuity, like rifled guns in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Moreover, Tian Hujun did not have many divine arm bows in his hands, so it was difficult to pose a big threat to the Western Army.

Therefore, there are quite a few people who fell to the ground in the siege army, but compared with the overall offensive momentum, this is just a small pebble thrown in the torrent. When the bow of the god arm at the head of the city was about to release the third arrow, the western army had already arrived in front of the moat!

The other place has already been filled in. In other words, the next two sides are going to fight hand-to-hand.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Zhu Jing brandished his sword and roared wildly. By now, there is no turning back for these leaders, Jing'an City is broken, and those soldiers are dead or alive and don't know, because when they are in chaos today, Zhao Song may not have the confidence to slaughter all the troops who are not left. But Brother Tian Hu, as well as these big leading generals, will definitely be killed one by one.

Yes, Zhu Jing, Fang Xuedu, and even Bian Xiang, Wu Li, etc., swore to fight to the death one by one, which can be understood.

The archers lined up behind the women's wall tore the bowstrings like a full moon, and with Zhu Jing's order, countless white feathers tore through the air and roared out! The men of the Western Army felt that the sky was suddenly dark, and there was a rain of arrows in mid-air! But they were not afraid, for all of them were clothed in heavy armor! It is difficult for a soft bow and light arrow to penetrate this sturdy infantry armor and inflict damage on them! And there's also a short deck.

When they reached the gap, the soldiers climbed up with a howl, as if they had suddenly gone mad, and were not afraid of the arrows and rolling stones.

A soldier was about to rush to the top of the slope when a rock hit him right in the head. The whole body fell to the ground with a puff, but the comrades who followed closely behind did not hesitate in the slightest, stepped on him and continued to climb. In the scream, the soldier picked up the short axe in his hand and threw it out, as if splitting a watermelon. The man fell to the ground without saying a word.

At the same time, a heavy axe also slashed into the skull of the Western army man at this moment.

And just as he was about to swing the second axe, several spears suddenly stabbed from below! The sharp spearhead pierced his stomach, and several Western soldiers exerted their strength at the same time, using the spear pierced into his abdomen to use others as shields, and they climbed to the top of the slope alive!

The man's eyes widened, his hands clutching the barrel of the gun that had pierced into his chest and abdomen, and his mouth let out a howl of pain!

But he was also lucky, because in the last breath of his life, he saw the scene of his brother avenging himself. More spears and knives slashed down, and several Western soldiers fell to the ground.

Bloodstained! Screaming and screaming!

"Hold on! Drive them down town! Fang Xuedu held an iron bone in his hand and scolded angrily.

The Song army's stone cannons have been smashed open here for a few days, and the Tian Hu army in the city has organized repairs many times, but they have been disturbed by the Song army's stone cannons. Fortunately, the Song army did not have many stone cannons, and there was no movement after breaking the city wall, and Tian Hujun had already built a suggested city wall after the gap, and it was constantly being strengthened in the past few days. But this gap is still a critical point, and whether it can be broken or not is related to the morale of the army when Tian Hujun comes.

Guarding the gap, there is still a layer of reserve behind it, which gives Tian Hujun the illusion that he still has spare strength and has not yet reached the end of the mountain.

It can be said that it is very important for Tian Hujun's fighting spirit and military spirit.

After all, they are also veterans of a hundred battles, although the military discipline and array are scum, but the fighting in the siege war, even a small range of cooperation is difficult to talk about, and these defenders are indeed not bad in hand-to-hand combat, and they are not frightened because of the fierce offensive of the Western Army. Every soldier of the Western Army who climbed to the top of the slope had to face weapons attacking from all directions. For a while, the two armies fought, flesh and blood flew sideways, and then Liu Qi personally went into battle, and he did not break the Xicheng gap defense line.

After a day's attack, Wang Yu's troops had quietly withdrawn from the front line, and the people in the city still thought that his troops had just been replaced. Liu Yanqing's hand is not bad. Anyway, Jing'an City still has to fight, and it is just a trivial matter to advance this wave of attacks.

But it's a pity that they didn't find the pair of eyes hidden in the shadows.

That night, a white dove flew into Jing'an City. In an inconspicuous house in the city, there lives a pair of old men over half a hundred years old, the old couple and their two sons have died, and only a pair of grandchildren are left under their knees. On weekdays, the old woman pulps laundry for others, and the old man sells groceries, barely making ends meet, and his life is very poor.

Therefore, this pair of old men have been dragged into the spy department for more than half a year, and the people around them have not noticed it. Because the task of the two is not complicated, this is a message relay station.

The carrier pigeon flew into the backyard, and the old woman immediately stepped forward to take out the secret letter from the mailbox, and then taught it to the people diagonally opposite the alley.

As for what was written in the secret letter, she would not know. People just inquire about some news, send something, make some small money, and support their families.

Early the next morning, Tian Hu, dressed in a dragon robe, appeared on the city wall and gave an encouraging speech to the sergeant - in a word, reinforcements were coming, and then he went home. He has completely pinned his hope of breaking the siege and getting out of trouble on Liang Shanjun, although the internal and external news has been cut off, but Lu Qian's reputation is still very good, isn't it?

Relying on the transfer to the 'Jin Palace', Tian Hu saw Fan Quan with a happy face, standing in the courtyard and looking forward to it. When I saw myself, I didn't care about the physique and strode over. "Great joy, great joy, great joy. It is a great joy. ”

It is said that this guy is not without contact with the Song army, but no one is willing to let him go, whether it is the master or Tong Guan, and it is necessary to cross the river and demolish the bridge. In this way, Fan Quan knew that he could only follow Tian Hu all the way to the dark. I regret what I have done, but it is too late.

Tian Hu frowned, in the current situation, apart from the Song army breaking the siege, what other good thing can be great?

"Let the king know that the villain has just received a letter from King Lu, saying that the Liangshan army has marched into Hebei, and the army led by the prince of Qi has been defeated and returned to the Zhang Department of the Daimyo Mansion earlier, and the king has also turned around and gone south yesterday. In a few days, the king of Qi will attack the Daimyo's mansion and come north to help. ”

Tian Hu stood up suddenly, this is really great news, and it is only one thing short of the Song army breaking the siege. "Good, good. Tell the whole city of the good news, and I will let everyone know about it. "A refreshing feeling of a long drought and sweet rain is invigorated in Tian Hu's body and mind. It is conceivable how much this news has inspired the entire Tian Hu Army. "King Qi really believes in people."

Liu Yanqing was gathering all the generals at this time, and the sergeants attacked and killed one after another, although they were tired, they thought that the thief army defending the city must be just as tired. According to the insider's report, when Tian Hu returned to Jing'an City from Raoyang, there were only more than 10,000 thieves left in his hands. After so many days of fighting, the losses of the western army were not small, and the casualties of the thieves in the city would not be reduced.

"The army of thieves is at the end of its power. The officers and men of all departments made persistent efforts, and in three or five days, they took down this thief, and it was not too late to return to the Daimyo's mansion. ”

Although Zhang's army suffered heavy losses, with Tong Guan's army joining, how could there be 20,000 troops and stick to the daimyo's mansion, how could there be a crisis of the fall of the city in three or five days?

"What they say is very true. Yesterday's attack, Liu Qi, the commander of a certain rear army, held on to the top of the slope for a quarter of an hour before he was repulsed. If you fight again today, you will be able to break this shackle and try to see the strength of the inner wall. ”

Yang Weizhong agrees with this point of view of 'the end of the strong crossbow', and does not mention it anywhere else, just look at the battle at the gap in the city wall, you can know a thing or two.

And at this time, a burst of cheers and excitement suddenly reached the Chinese military tent in Jing'an City, and Liu Yanqing frowned, why is this?

Just as he was about to ask, he saw Liu Guangshi, who was serving troops outside the tent, open the tent curtain and strode in, clasped his fists and said: "The thief army in the city suddenly cheered loudly, I don't know why. ”

Hearing Liu Guangshi say this, every one of the generals in the tent couldn't sit still.

The enemy suddenly shouted with joy in such a predicament, and everyone knows what this means. Liu Yanqing got up, "Generals, follow me to the city to watch." ”

No one can be as calm as ever. An army with fighting spirit and without fighting spirit will be two different things. Especially in the defense of the city.

At the same time, at this time, a cavalry under the leadership of Lu Qian, like a turbulent torrent, rushed straight to the north road.

Two thousand guards cavalry, combined with the two thousand cavalry led by Lu Junyi, the four thousand iron cavalry is like an irresistible torrent, and the Guantao, Linqing, Zongcheng, Enzhou and other places along the way, whether it is the official or the people, seeing the four thousand iron cavalry galloping, everyone has turned into a turtle with a shrunken head.

Behind the 4,000 iron cavalry, thousands of light cavalry roamed the official roads and paths of the counties, blockading, blocking, blockading, all for the sake of secrecy.

The obstacles to Lu Qian from various states and counties are not as significant as those from the Zhanghe River. At this time, the Zhanghe River is a branch vein on the east side of the northward flow of the Yellow River, connecting Nanpi in the northeast and Enzhou in the southwest.

It is impossible for Lu Qian to stop his troops in Enzhou, build a pontoon bridge there, and then go to cross the Zhanghe River. His only option was to take a detour, there is a stone bridge town ten miles east of Enzhou City, as the name suggests, it is named because there is a stone bridge across the banks of the Zhanghe River.

This back and forth asked Lu Qian to spare forty or fifty miles of road.

"Driving, driving......" On the official road from Enzhou to Jizhou, 4,000 cavalry are marching silently, with two horses, one positive and one subordinate. Only the roaring sound of horses' hooves was heard, but not the slightest human voice.

The long line stretched four or five miles long from beginning to end, and under the drenching cold autumn rain, they hurried away!

"Tell the brethren to go some further. Go to Zhangbei Town in front, everyone have a good rest-" Looking at the tired appearance of the soldiers, Lu Qian was super looking forward to being able to upgrade the cavalry attribute to the S rank at this moment, 30% of the physical strength of the government, thinking about the increased physical strength, that is a big bug.

Loudly cheering up the soldiers, Lu Qian burst out of his mouth with stimulating words such as "hot" and "hot rice". The soldiers, who had not felt warm and hot soup and hot meals in the past, were now energized by all of them.

Only people who have soaked in the cold autumn rain for a day will understand the happiness of "warmth", everyone thinks of the warmth and hot food that Lu Qian said, and they feel that their cold hands and feet and body seem to have a trace of warmth.
