"Pedal Pedal ~"

In the early hours of the morning, the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves sounded on the mountain paths shrouded in mist, and through the mist, a large group of people and horses were rapidly moving along the paths between the trees and grasses in the mountains.

The whole procession was divided into two columns, all of them wearing a thick layer of cloth, the fog of the early morning had wet their temples and brows, and they were silent as they walked, except for the occasional snort of the horses carrying heavy loads in the procession, and the line stretched for miles.

Hexagram Mountain, located in the south of Chenshi County, Yongzhou, is about 100 meters high, covers an area of several square kilometers, is the southern artery of Qilin County leading to Chenshi County, only more than 10 kilometers away from Qishan Town to the south, and only 7 kilometers away from Tuping Town to the north.

As a traffic artery connecting Qilin County and Chenshi County, Ainengqi, which is entrenched in Chenshi County, naturally attaches great importance to it, and there is an army of 5,000 people stationed in Tuping Town for a long time.

Ai Nengqi, as the righteous son of the former Daxi Emperor Zhang Xianzhong, has always been known for his bravery, and is known as the "Four Generals" along with Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, and Liu Wenxiu.

After Zhang Xianzhong's defeat, Ai Nengqi led the remnants back to his old fiefdom, located in Chenshi Town, next to the Shijia River, using the materials he had hoarded to rapidly expand his strength, quickly reorganizing tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time, and sent troops to attack the area of more than 800 square kilometers around Chenshi Town, which was named Chenshi County.

Today, Ainengqi, who has been entrenched in Chenshi County for several months, has gained a firm foothold, with a population of more than 250,000 and a military force of 50,000.

In this way, quietly, this army quickly crossed the hexagram mountain.

At this time, it was late winter, and it was late in the day, and when the army reached the town of Tuping, a few kilometers away, the sky had not yet dawned, and the defenders of the city gate were also in a slumber.

Although Ainengqi has always attached great importance to this strong neighbor around him, because Sima Yu's energy has not been put on this side before, the entire Tuping Town has been in a state of peace without war for a long time.

Before coming to Tuping Town, the mighty army quickly formed three armies in front of the town and began to arrange troops.

At the same time as the three armies were arranging their troops, in the gap between the three armies, one after another Jianchang horses began to gallop out of the queue with heavy baggage, and thousands of baggage soldiers followed closely behind, and drove towards Tuping Town under the cover of hundreds of anti-shield and sword-wielding infantry in front.

When hundreds of sword and shield soldiers came to a distance of about 250 meters from the wall of Tuping Town, they stopped, and began to form a shield formation on the spot to defend in place.

The baggage soldiers who followed closely behind began to quickly unload the baggage from the wagons and began to assemble them in place.

"Bell~"

"Bell~"

"There's an enemy attack!"

"There's an enemy attack!"

。。。。。。

At such a close distance, the movement below naturally alarmed the defenders on the wall of Tuping Town, and in the light of the fire, the soldiers who faintly saw the enemy in front of them quickly sounded the alarm bell on the city, and the soldiers who woke up began to go to their posts.

However, the defenders of Tuping Town, which lacked training on weekdays and were loosely defended, had encountered such an emergency at all, and in the face of the sudden attack of the enemy army, they were in a mess, and without the command of a senior general, groups of soldiers were huddled together at the passage of the city wall, and could not arrive at the post in time to defend.

Just when there was chaos on the city wall, the baggage soldiers below had already completed the assembly of the equipment in a short period of time, and saw 20 medium-sized trebuchets several meters high lined up in front of Tuping Town, like fierce beasts, opening their bloody mouths in the direction of Tuping Town.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! ”

Dozens of powerful men were carrying huge ashlar stones into the leather holsters of the catapults.

"Launch!"

The reloading was quickly completed, and the leader in front commanded loudly.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

With a whistling sound, the boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms drew a perfect arc in the air and flew to the city wall in front of them.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Ahh

"Ahh

In the violent impact and screams, the boulder that fell from the sky immediately fell on the city wall and Tuping Town, how could the city wall of Tuping Town, which was partially made of wood, withstand the attack of such a boulder, the arrow pavilion and wooden fence on the city wall were smashed countless times in an instant, and many soldiers stationed on the city wall were smashed into a ball of flesh directly under the boulder.

At this time, it has only been more than one year since people just came to this world, and the major forces are in urgent need of resources, and the stone that needs a lot of manpower and material resources to mine is even more urgent.

With the exception of some historical cities that have been copied into the world, only Sima Yu, who has a treasury system, was able to build stone walls in most of the towns under his rule, and most of the other major powers used small amounts of stone and wood to build them.

The 5-meter-high wall of the entire Tuping Town is only made of stone with a foundation less than 1 meter high, and most of the other parts are wooden fence walls.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Ahh Run! ”

"Run!"

。。。。。。

In the face of the boulders that kept falling from the sky, as well as the tragic conditions and screams of their companions, the mental defense of the soldiers defending the city was instantly disintegrated and they avoided it.

"Don't run! Stop it all, escapee, kill without mercy! ”

On the city wall, looking at the boulders that kept flying, after receiving the news, Ai Chengye, the commander of the 5,000 defenders of Tuping Town, who had just arrived, turned pale, and pointed to the soldiers who kept fleeing and shouted.

As the only son of Ai Nengqi, Ai Nengqi has always had high hopes for Ai Chengye, hoping that he can inherit his great cause in the future, so he ignored the opposition of his subordinates and promoted him to the commander of the garrison of Tuping Town with a total of 5,000 troops.

It's a pity that because Ai Nengqi has been fighting outside for many years, Ai Chengye grew up in a pampered environment since he was a child, and he failed to inherit his father's ability to fight bravely and well.

After coming to Tuping Town, although he was not like other gentlemen who were evil everywhere, he also had a cowardly personality and could not suppress these soldiers in the army at all.

A large part of the reason why Tuping Town is so lax is due to Ai Chengye's incompetence and constant evasion.

"Childe be careful!"

Just as Ai Chengye, who was looking flustered, shouted everywhere, the anxious shouts of the attendants suddenly came from the side.

"Whew~"

"Boom!"

With a sharp whistling, a boulder roared down and slammed into the city walls again.

"Childe!"

In the end, Ai Chengye lost consciousness after hearing only a terrible scream from the attendant, and was smashed into mud by a boulder.

In the shadow of death, most of the soldiers of the defenders of Tuping Town were looking for a place to hide, and they had no intention of caring about anything else, and the death of Ai Chengye, the commander of the garrison who already had a low sense of existence, did not make too many waves in the army, only some soldiers and his attendants nearby were stunned by this change.

The soldiers of the other departments are still looking for a place to hide and save their lives under the leadership of their respective generals.

"Boom!"

Under the fierce attack of the catapult that lasted for a quarter of an hour, the city wall at the gate in front of Tuping Town finally collapsed, and a huge gap was directly smashed out.

The catapult, which smashed the wall of Tuping Town into a gap more than ten meters wide, stopped the fire and stopped the attack.

"Attack!"

In front of the army formation of the Shaking Mountain Battalion, Wang Yanzhang looked at the city wall of Tuping Town, which was bombarded in front of him, his face sank like water, and with a wave of the iron gun in his hand, the soldiers behind him quickly began to take steps and kill towards Tuping Town.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the two battalions next to the Shaking Mountain Camp also began to carry the siege ladder, followed closely, and at the same time attacked Tuping Town from both sides.

The army in front of him is the soldiers of the four battalions of the Shaoshan Battalion, the Changfeng Battalion, the Guoyi Army, and the Huben Army under the command of Sima Yu.

Yesterday, Sima Yu received a report from the Jinyi Wei Pegasus deployed in He Terrier County that Li Dingguo's army and the night before yesterday broke the Qing army at the foot of the Lion Rock, not only burned the grain and grass of the Qing army in the night attack, and annihilated the slave army, but also set up ambushes in the direction of Shishan where the Qing army fled, killing nearly 1,000 elite people of the Eight Banners under the command of Haoge, defeating the main force of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army in one fell swoop, and taking advantage of the situation to continuously attack, sweeping the Qing army forces directly out of the territory.

The mighty Hauge army was almost completely lost, and all the 60,000 slave troops under his command were annihilated, and only led more than 2,000 Eight Banners iron cavalry to flee in embarrassment.

In the battle of Lion Rock, Li Dingguo won an unexpected victory, knocking out most of the troops under Haoge at once, which not only relieved the Qing army's crisis against Ji'an and Hejiao counties, but also dispelled Haoge's idea of invading Yongzhou.

Haoge, who had lost his troops, made a quick decision, directly recalled the Aobai Department, and gathered the remnants of the army to return to Luzhou.

Unless Haoge transferred troops from his base camp Changzhou Mansion again, with the strength of the Qing army in Luzhou, he would never want to get involved in Yongzhou again.

With the withdrawal of the Qing army, the pattern in Yongzhou will inevitably change.

After getting the news, Sima Yu immediately convened his generals to discuss, and finally decided to use troops against Ainengqi in Chenshi County to launch a battle to unify Yongzhou.

Previously, because of the strength of the Qing army, after occupying Qilin County, Sima Yu never dared to use troops on the surrounding areas, and Jumei County was also captured in the forced defense.

Now that there is no containment of the Qing army, the strength of the Yangwu army has also been greatly improved, and it is natural to launch another expansion, and Chen Shixian, which bears the brunt of the attack, is naturally the first target to attack.

Soldiers, you are fast!

After the meeting, 20,000 soldiers of the four battalions of the Shaoshan Battalion, Changfeng Battalion, Guoyi Army, and Huben Army immediately set out overnight under the leadership of Wang Yanzhang, Wang Yantong, Long Wei, and Long Meng.

At the same time, in order to speed up the advance of the army, Sima Yu also specially sent the newly recruited siege brigade to accompany the army.

This siege brigade was the same heavy force that had just formed the catapult siege team, and it was composed of hundreds of strong men and hundreds of sappers who were skilled in assembling equipment.

Their job was to assemble siege equipment such as catapults and siege engines to help the army siege the city.

This time, as soon as he set out, he immediately made a great achievement and broke through the city wall of Tuping Town in one fell swoop
