Cao Rong's appearance on the city wall was no different from the royal driver's personal expedition, which greatly encouraged the morale of the city wall defenders.

What's more, beside Cao Rong, there are dozens of officials, large and small, all of whom are ministers of Cai Guo.

The soldiers defending the city, who witnessed the emperor leading the Chinese courtiers and military generals of the dynasty, almost guessed Cao Rong's attitude of co-existence and death with the city wall!

At this moment, Cao Rong asked Wang Hongyan coldly about the war, how dare Wang Hongyan slack off.

With a respectful demeanor, he clenched his fists with both hands, looked at Cao Rong, and said categorically: "Your Majesty, rest assured, according to the city army and the city wall of Mocheng, the last general will be sure to lead the Cai army to hold on to Mocheng for two or three months, and during this period, the Yan army will never be allowed to step into Mocheng for half a step." ”

The city wall of Mocheng has four or five zhang, the city wall is made of big stones, the city wall is high and thick, and it is very difficult to break through the city wall from the outside.

If it weren't for Emperor Yan personally leading the troops, Yan cavalry would have fought in the south and in the north, and the momentum would be like a rainbow.

In Mocheng, Cai's army was weak, refused to defend the city, and did not have much advantage in dealing with the menacing Yan army.

Otherwise, Wang Hongyan dared to pat his chest and assure Cao Rong that Cai Jun would be able to hold out in Mocheng for half a year.

At present, the situation in Cai State is dangerous, Wang Hongyan knows very little about Lin Feng and the Yan army, and there are too many recruits under his account, and his combat effectiveness is difficult to match with Yan Qi.

When the overall strength of the Cai army was bad, even though he was full of confidence, he was in a dangerous situation, and it was difficult to block the Yan army for a long time with the old and weak soldiers when the soldiers were approaching the city.

Otherwise, Wang Hongyan would not hesitate to assure Cao Rong that if he refused to defend the city, the army would be able to hold out for as much as half a year.

Cao Rong stood in the city tower, condescending, and the appearance of the Yan army outside the city was clear at a glance.

Hearing Wang Hongyan's confident words, the panic in his heart subsided slightly, pondered for a long time, turned to Wang Hongyan and ordered: "General Wang, I have full authority to defend the city, if Cai Jun has the strength to defend for two or three months, you must not take the initiative to go out of the city." ”

Yan Qi was as strong as a rainbow, and before he did not properly arrange everything, Cao Rong was afraid of a head-on conflict with the Yan army in his heart, so as to prevent the Cai army from leaving the city and introducing the Yan army into the city.

What's more, when there were few good generals in Mocheng, more than foreign military affairs, only relied on Wang Hongyan.

Cao Rong had to be cautious to prevent Wang Hongyan from being hot-headed, and under the lure of the Yan army, he led the army out of the city to pursue, and happened to fall into the conspiracy of Emperor Yan.

"The emperor can rest assured, the last general knows what to do!" Wang Hongyan clenched his fists and said to Cao Rong!

Hearing this, Cao Rong nodded, turned around and said to the military generals beside him: "General Wang is guarding Mocheng, and from today onwards, two officials must stay on the city wall every day, and General Wang will go all out to stop the Yan army." ”

The momentum of the Cai army is weak, and it has been defeated by the Yan army many times, and at present, the Yan army is approaching the city, and the Cai army is facing a great enemy, and it is sincerely afraid.

There are military generals who stay on the city wall and accompany the soldiers who defend the city to fight, which not only expresses the court's attention to Mocheng, but also enhances the momentum of the soldiers defending the city, killing two birds with one stone.

Following Cao Rong's left and right officials, when he heard Cao Rong's proposal, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave and felt creepy.

The Yan army is coming to the city, and it is inevitable to win the city, and all the officials present have witnessed the grand occasion of the Yan army outside the city, and they have long been frightened, especially Wenchen, who is not sure how to face the Yan army outside the city.

At this moment, Cao Rong instructed the officials of the DPRK and China to have two people every day to accompany Wang Hongyan to fight in the city, and cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of many officials.

The Yan army is strong, and it will attack the city all the time, and when attacking the city, it is bound to rain arrows and have no eyes.

Whoever is stationed on the city wall is likely to be attacked by the Yan army when they launch a fierce attack outside the city.

To put it bluntly, Cao Rong ordered the officials to take turns to defend the city wall, which was simply joking with the lives of the military generals.

The officials present were terrified, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, who dared to disobey Cao Rong's order, it was estimated that the next moment, he would directly die on the spot, and blood would be splashed five steps.

"Yes!" For a while, the officials present had no choice but to hold their fists and agree with Cao Rong's proposal, but they all had ghosts.

Hearing this, Cao Rong nodded, stayed in the city tower for a while, sighed long, and walked slowly down the city tower.

Emperor Yan was shameless, annexed the south, and became more and more ambitious to unify the country.

Cai Yan looked at each other across the river, and at present, the Yan cavalry is attacking, and it is difficult to predict whether Cai Jun has the ability to hold on under the onslaught of the Yan cavalry.

Cao Rong felt that when Cai Guo's life and death were in danger, he had to take extraordinary measures, otherwise, it would be very difficult for Cai Jun to defend himself!

Cao Rong moved and wanted to leave the city wall, under the city wall, in the Yan army array, in the middle army, there were suddenly thousands of fast horses, galloping out urgently, rushing straight in the direction of Mocheng!

The main force of the entire Yan army is moving slowly, as if there are signs of leaving!

At the head of the city, Cao Rong Yuguang witnessed the changes of the Yan army under the city, not only stopped, but also watched!

The Yan army was arrayed, only three or four miles away from Mocheng, and suddenly thousands of iron cavalry rushed out of the Yan army formation, and came in the direction of Mocheng with murderous spirit.

Cao Rong was puzzled, and muttered secretly, could it be that Emperor Yan tried in vain to forcibly break through the city with three or four thousand Yan horses.

The war horse galloped three or four hundred steps away from the city wall, and Yan Qi suddenly tightened the reins of the horse, picked up the crossbow, and shot in the direction where Cao Rong was.

Suddenly, thousands of arrows flew out of the crossbows, like locusts in transit, overwhelming the sky.

Cao Rong, who was at the head of the city, saw the rain of arrows outside the city wall, looked horrified, and retreated again and again.

Wang Hongyan, the general defending the city, also looked horrified, grabbed the iron shield in his hand, protected it in front of Cao Rong, and shouted loudly to the defenders on all sides: "Protect the emperor, protect your lords!" ”

Soon, the corridor of the city wall became a mess, and Cai Jun relied on the iron shield, and before the rain of arrows fell, the iron shield formed layers of defense, protecting Cao Rong and the hundred officials in the center.

Cao Rong and Baiguan hid under the iron shield for a long time, and did not wait for the rain of arrows to attack, on the contrary, the sound of Yan Jun laughing was heard in their ears.

"Cao Rong Xiao'er, surrender quickly, don't kill those who surrender!"

"Cao Rong Xiao'er, surrender quickly, don't kill those who surrender!"

The voice came into Cao Rong's ears, Cao Rong waved his hand to remove the iron shield, stood at the head of the city, and looked condescendingly.

Not long ago, the rain of arrows shot by the Yan army fell under the city wall, and Yan rode on his war horse, smiling and leaning forwards and leaning back, looking at it, Cao Rong's face turned red.

Yan Qi was far away from the city, and the range of the crossbow was limited, so it could not hurt anyone above the city at all.

When the rain of arrows struck, he ignored the range of the repeater and fled in a hurry, just by the swallow under the city, and the clown teased him at the beginning.

What's more, the Yan army is hateful, upright, and the city shouts and insults themselves.

At this moment, Cao Rong was humiliated, embarrassed, full of anger, rolling out, turned to Cai Jun beside him, and shouted: "Shoot arrows, shoot arrows, shoot the Yan army under the city!" ”

For a while, in the corridor of the city wall, Cai Jun acted quickly, drew his long bow, half-squatted on the battlements of the city wall, and the sharp arrows came out of the string, heading towards the Yan army shouting under the city wall.

Under the city wall, Yan Qi ignored the rain of arrows, and still opened his mouth to scold, constantly sarcastically mocking Cao Rong!

The rain of arrows shot from above the city, the range was still limited, and they flew quickly, fell to the ground, pierced into the grass, and could not hurt the Yan army under the city wall.

Cai Jun returned in vain, and Yan Qi's shouting was louder and denser, constantly cheering.

Suddenly, Cai Jun at the head of the city was extremely humiliated, his face turned red one by one, Cao Rong looked embarrassed and embarrassed, and his face was on fire. Spicy!

Walking down from the city tower full of anger, Cao Rong's eyes always paid attention to the actions under the city wall, and noticed that the Yan army was safe and sound in the rain of arrows, and the sound of the clamor became stronger and stronger, and his heart became more and more angry.

Hurriedly walked to the center of the city wall, glaring at the Yan army below the city wall, Cao Rong did not hide the anger in his chest, and shouted to Wang Hongyan beside him: "General Wang, order the soldiers, set up a crossbow on the city wall, shoot the Yan thief, shoot the Yan thief!" ”

Yan Jun's shouting voice was buzzing in his ears like a fly, and in his words, he cursed Cao Rong and didn't take Cao Rong in his eyes at all, so angry that Cao Rong beat his chest and spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

The Yan army was strong, he didn't dare to send a large army out of the city to encircle and suppress, so he could only use the bed crossbow, relying on the strong range and impact of the bed crossbow, to teach the three or four thousand Yan cavalry who were shouting under the city a hard lesson.

The emperor was furious, how dare Wang Hongyan delay, not to mention, he was also dissatisfied with the clamor of the Yan army, heard Cao Rong's words, and quickly issued a military order.

shouted: "Set up a bed crossbow, shoot the swallow thief, shoot the eye thief!" ”

The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, the military order is like a mountain, the defenders in the corridor of the city wall, hearing the double order, act quickly, and everyone works together to set up a ballista in the city wall.

Under the city wall, in front of the Yan army's formation, it is separated from Mocheng by three or four miles, and under the clear sky, you can clearly witness the movements of the Cai army in the city wall.

In front of the army, Lin Feng was dressed in a helmet, holding a slashing saber in his hand, sitting on the back of a war horse, and the tiger eyes always paid attention to the changes in the city.

At present, although he has not met Cao Rong, he noticed that inside the city wall, there are people wearing dragon robes, and they are hugged by Wencheng military generals and arrive above the city wall.

With his keen guess, Lin Feng realized that Cao Rong was very likely to appear on the city wall.

Therefore, he deliberately ordered Yan Jun to rush to the bottom of Mocheng, screaming and scolding, insulting Cao Rong, deliberately provoking Cao Rong, hoping that Cao Rong would lose his mind.

If Cao Rong was really enraged, he led the army to rush out of Mocheng, and waited outside the city to wait for Yan to ride, and never let Cao Rong return to Mocheng alive.

At that time, Yan Qi had a lot of courage and took the opportunity to kill the enemy, rushed into Mocheng, and captured the imperial city.

If Cao Rong is strong enough to scold Yan Qi and ignore it, Yan Qi will not waste anything.

Lin Feng patiently paid attention, thousands of shouts and scolding, shaking the heavens and the earth, but he didn't see Cai Jun open the city gate and rush out of the city.

Just relied on the rain of arrows to coerce Yan Qi, hoping to stop Yan Qi from scolding.

Witnessing Cai Jun's move, Lin Feng knew that it was very difficult to make Cao Rong jump like thunder and lose his mind, and it was even more difficult to lure Cai Jun out of the city.

When thinking about how to lure Cai Jun out of the city, Cai Jun at the head of the city suddenly became annoyed, and there was a trace of a bed crossbow!

Looking at it, while Cai Jun was settled, Lin Feng sent someone to notify the three or four thousand Yan cavalry clamoring in front of him to evacuate backwards in an orderly manner.

The range of the bed crossbow is not small, the lethality is very large, four or five hundred distances, it can easily injure the Yan army, and before the main attack on the city wall, he does not want the Yan army to suffer casualties for no reason.

"Hurry, hurry, act!" A horse rushed out, galloped towards Mocheng, and soon, the Yan cavalry evacuated in an orderly manner, Cao Rong witnessed the actions of the Yan army under the city, knew what the Yan army was afraid of, and couldn't help but give a sharp order.
