Thundered~

In the night, countless cavalry with torches galloped across the official road outside Bailu City under the leadership of Yue Zhongqi, looking like a rolling fire dragon from a distance.

"Damn! How could there be so many cavalry! ”

On the wall of Bailu City, Xue Rengao, who was surrounded by Geng Chengwu and others, looked at the 10,000 Southern Army iron horsemen who were rushing towards Jiuzhi Town outside the city, and his face was pale.

In the cover of the night, the distance between them was far away, and although Xue Rengao on the city wall could not see the whole picture of this cavalry clearly, the length and momentum of the fire dragon outside the city could judge that the scale of this cavalry was extremely large.

"Major General, it seems that the army of the King of the South has landed in the territory of my Liangshan Army!"

On the left side of Xue Rengao, Geng Chengwu's face was solemn, and he looked at the cavalry cluster in the distance below with a worried expression.

In the entire territory of Jinzhou and the surrounding area, the only force that can get such a large-scale formed cavalry cluster is Sima Yu, the king of the south.

The fact that this cavalry was able to go so deep into the hinterland of Bailu County outside Bailu City showed that the entire northwestern region of Bailu County had probably fallen into the hands of the Southern King.

Under the situation of internal turmoil in the Liangshan army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the invasion of the army under the command of the king of the south.

"The King of the South? It's Sima Yu again! ”

Xue Rengao was stunned when he heard this, and then waved his hand irritably, looking a little hesitant.

Seeing that the direction of the cavalry running outside the city was obviously towards Xue Ju outside the nine towns, Xue Rengao wanted to lead troops to support Xue Ju, but he was afraid that the soldiers would be ambushed by the other party.

"There are large groups of enemy troops!"

However, Xue Rengao's hesitation only lasted for dozens of seconds, and the exclamations of the soldiers defending the city came from the city tower.

Looking out of the city by the light of the fire, a dense firelight suddenly lit up in the direction where the cavalry had just passed, and a group of black-armored soldiers slowly appeared in the open space hundreds of meters away from Bailu City.

These soldiers formed a dense black party formation that could not be seen slowly towards Bailu City, and no one made a sound between the tens of thousands of troops, like a ghost from hell, and the cold and bright spear and sword halberd were the hell scythes in their hands, exuding a cold murderous aura.

40,000 soldiers of the Southern Army formed hundreds of phalanxes and spread out outside the west gate of Bailu City.

At the front of the center of the military formation, Li Mu, who was dressed in armor, rode on a war horse surrounded by a group of generals.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

"Going to fight? Or is it going to fall? ”

In the military formation, the burly Xiong Kuohai rode out on a tall war horse, came to a distance of less than 100 meters from the gate of Bailu City, raised the plate axe in his hand and pointed at Xue Rengao and the others on the city wall, and shouted loudly.

The majestic shouting sounded like a thunderstorm in the silent night sky, resounding throughout Bailu City.

The sound of loud shouts echoed in the night sky for a long time, and for a while, everyone's eyes turned to Xue Rengao on the wall of Bailu City.

Xue Rengao is the son of Xue Ju, and he is a major general, after Xue Ju led the troops to the battle, Bailucheng naturally regarded him as the highest.

Under the illumination of the firelight, the overwhelming black armor army was arrayed outside the Bailu City, and the burly and majestic Broad Sea stood outside the city with a double axe, and under the overwhelming prestige of tens of thousands of troops, Xue Rengao was frightened in his heart, and he was stunned for a while.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, in the face of the Southern Army, which was ten times larger, the Liangshan Army, which was already fearful, saw that Xue Rengao was delayed, and immediately panicked, and the morale of the army plummeted.

"Major General! There is no way back! ”

Xue Rengao's timidity and stunned made the soldiers' morale plummet, and Geng Chengwu on the side hurriedly shouted to him when he saw this.

If Xue Rengao continues to hesitate like this, I am afraid that if he does not need to fight, the army will be defeated.

Geng Chengwu is an old man who followed Xue Ju and Xue Rengao's father and son, and his words woke up Xue Rengao at once, they had betrayed Sima Yu once before, and after defecting to the Liangshan army, they took the opportunity to occupy Chao Gai's position, with these previous convictions, even if they surrendered, it would be difficult to win Sima Yu's trust.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Xue Rengao, who understood that there was no way back, immediately became ruthless, looked at the vast sea below and ordered directly.

Arrows rained down on the castle tower, and the startled Xiong Kuohai hurriedly waved the double axe in his hand to resist the rain of arrows, and immediately turned around and ran to the military formation behind him, cursing while running.

"The crossbowmen step forward, suppress the two wings, and the sword and shield hands rush forward and attack!"

After Xiong Kuohai returned to the military formation, seeing that the persuasion had failed, Li Mu made a decision and directly commanded the army to start the project.

4,000 crossbowmen formed 20 phalanxes on two flanks, and began to move forward under the cover of the infantry phalanx of sword and shield men in the middle, and stopped at a distance of 200 meters from the city wall, all of which pointed diagonally upwards in the direction of Bailu City.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Next to the crossbow array, Pei Yuanshao, the captain of the Southern Military Academy, gave an order, and thousands of crossbow arrows flew in the direction of the city tower.

Aggressive~

Ahhh

These Southern Army crossbowmen are all equipped with one-armed rhubarb crossbows, with long range and great power, and the sharp arrows continue to land on the city wall, and the Liangshan Army archers on the city tower did not expect that the range of the Southern Army crossbowmen would be so far, so powerful, the rows of archers who bent their bows and stood by were directly hit by the flying crossbow arrows before they had time to dodge, bringing up patches of blood rain and screams, and harvesting hundreds of lives.

"Hide all under the wall!"

On the city tower, Geng Chengwu, who was also the first time to see the intensive attack of the Southern Army's crossbow arrows, hurriedly commanded the defenders to hide under the battlements.

Under the city tower, 4,000 crossbowmen were divided into two columns to fire in turn, and they did not hesitate to suppress the arrows in their hands, directly suppressing them strongly, forcing all the archers of the Liangshan Army to hide under the battlements, and the 3,000 sword and shield men in the middle lined up in several columns, carrying siege ladders to launch the first wave of attacks on Bailu City.

The dense rain of arrows poured down towards the walls of Bailu City without a single break, and several junior colonels in the army were shot in the head by the precise crossbowmen on standby below as soon as they appeared.

"Kill~"

Under the cover of the crossbowmen's arrow array, 3,000 southern saber and shield men quickly set up siege ladders and launched an assault on the city wall.

As their own soldiers entered, the crossbowmen also stopped shooting at the city wall in the area near the city gate, and 200 precision crossbowmen stepped forward to approach the city, turning from diffuse to accurate point fire.

"Kill!"

On the city wall, as the rain of arrows stopped, the soldiers defending the city of Liangshan Army, who were originally hiding under the battlements, also came back to their senses and began to counterattack the soldiers of the Southern Army who climbed up the siege ladder.

The defenders of the Liangshan Army who stayed in Bailu City were already less than 6,000 soldiers, and after Ding Wei's rebellion, there were less than 4,000 people, and hundreds of them fell in the constant attack of crossbow arrows just now.

The siege phalanx composed of 3,000 southern sabers and shields launched an attack within 200 meters of the city gate, and the thousands of Liangshan soldiers defending the city could not resist at all, and were killed and retreated by the southern soldiers who kept climbing the city wall.

Seeing this, the other defenders of the Liangshan Army on both sides came to support, but they were sniped by the accurate crossbowmen under the city halfway.

"Thieves are rampant!"

Seeing this, Xue Rengao, who was leading the troops to resist, rushed to the center with dozens of guards as soon as he mentioned the long halberd.

For a time, the entire Bailu City fell into a fierce battle, countless corpses fell from the city wall, and under the fierce attack of the Southern Army, the defense line of Bailu City was crumbling.

Thirteen miles away from the nine towns, in the Xue Jujun camp, Xue Ju's Chinese military camp tent was still brightly lit, and Xue Ju, who had just taken off his armor, was standing at the table, carefully studying the map of Bailu County placed on the table.

Huo Jun's leading troops came to the aid so that Xue Ju's plan to control Chao Gai in his hands again failed, and the two armies confronted each other outside the nine towns, if they could not eliminate each other, Huo Jun and Xue Ju did not dare to easily lead troops into the nine towns.

"Report! General, the direction of Bailu City in the distance is blazing, I'm afraid someone is attacking Bailu City! ”

Just as Xue Ju was thinking about a good strategy, a member of the group opened the curtain and hurriedly reported to Xue Ju.
