As soon as the oil in the oil pot had been spilled, the embers at the foot of the city wall were slowly extinguished. The defenders who had entered the cooldown period of the large-area killing skill had to form a formation under the orders and leadership of the generals such as the grassroots commander and the commander of the army, and prepared to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the attacking enemy army at the head of the city.

The elite guards around the patriarchs of each tribe definitely lived up to the name of the elite. They carried the remaining wooden ladders at the head of the city. The generals of each team climbed up with long knives and shields. In the blink of an eye, it was halfway there. The defenders of the city carried the rolling wood and stones and smashed them down without hesitation. However, after knocking down a group, the rest of the guards who followed still climbed the ladder fearlessly.

Among the rolling wood and stones that have been smashed, there are more and more that have gone and never returned. Li Yanzhi was on the city tower, turning his face to look at the elite of the enemy army who were climbing the ladder outside the city tower. Seeing that many of them had climbed to the top of the ladder and were about to cross the city, their expressions became more and more solemn.

The rapid trumpets and drums resounded again at the head of the city. Hearing the sound of trumpets and drums, the auxiliaries and foot soldiers at the head of the city all held their weapons and lined up in close formation. The soldiers on the periphery raised their shields one after another, and each of them stretched out several spears that were waiting for him, pointing directly at the upper part of the battlement wall.

Several of the Qiang elites have climbed to the top of the siege ladder. Looking at the Lingju County soldiers who were waiting under the battlement wall, these Qiang elites who had no way to retreat couldn't help but show a kind of determination and hideous face of fighting to the death. They stepped up the battlements, then leaped down the wall with swords and shields in hand. The prepared front platoon auxiliaries quickly advanced with shields. The spears in the hands of the soldiers in the back row had already gathered enough strength to stab at the sharp soldiers who had ascended the city.

The personal guards directly under the leaders of these tribes are all stout and sturdy. Compared with the unclothed Tongze before, these sharp guards are all wearing leather armor. For the county soldiers who had been prepared for a long time, as soon as several people jumped off the battlement wall, they were pierced and nailed to the battlement wall by the spears in the hands of the county soldiers. However, these brave soldiers, in the moment before they were about to die, still either swung their knives hard, or threw the knives in their hands at the Lingju auxiliaries who stabbed through them. It wasn't until the shield-wielding auxiliaries stepped forward and killed them with their swords that they fell powerlessly down the battlements.

The guards who landed first failed to do any substantial damage to the county soldiers who were guarding. However, their fearless descent bought the latecomers some time, allowing them to quickly climb up the wooden ladder and climb to the top of the city to fight.

The guards who jumped off the battlement wall in the second wave were the first to face the Lingju auxiliaries holding swords and shields. The rigorous training that the auxiliaries had undergone before played a significant role at this time. They shielded themselves with shields, and then they used their strength to ram straight at the guards. Caught off guard, several relatives were each pressed against the battlement wall by two or three auxiliary soldiers, unable to move.

The rest of the people, who had a clear division of labor, quickly stepped forward with their knives and greeted the enemy guards who were whining and screaming. Guards who jumped off the battlement wall either had their necks cut or several ring-headed knives pierced their bodies through the gap between the shield and the battlement wall. For a moment the ghosts cried and the wolves howled at the head of the city.

However, more of the Qiang guards jumped onto the city. The Lingju auxiliaries who rushed forward had to quickly withdraw and retreat. These grassroots generals also knew in their hearts that in the face of these enemies, if they could take advantage of their superiority in numbers or weapons, they would still be able to defeat them. However, counting on fighting with them, these people under his command are really unlikely to be the opponents of those elite guards.

As the number of Qiang guards jumped on the top of the city increased, the many auxiliaries who had already lined up on the city wall quickly fought with them. One side relied on its own bravery, and every knife and shot was powerful. On the other hand, with the orderly team cooperation, every move forced the other party to be exhausted.

Seeing that their elite warriors had attacked the city, the enemy did not pour the terrible boiling oil again, and the miscellaneous soldiers in the back row also strengthened their courage. One by one, they began to follow the rear of the elite guards, climbing towards the city.

Li Yanzhi looked at the enemy troops who had landed in the city with a solemn expression. Seeing that the auxiliary troops of his own side who were guarding the formation were surrounded and fought hard, there was no lack of a sense of worry in his heart. Xu is these enemy leaders despise him and the soldiers under his command, and Xu is that they are in a hurry to capture Lingju in order to show merit to their master Liu Yin. In any case, the fact that these Qiang tribe patriarchs had been fighting for less than a day had put on such a posture of being ready to fight for their lives was indeed much beyond Li Yanzhi's expectations.

The horn drum sounded again, and the ironclad foot soldiers who were guarding the tower heard the trumpet, and they were consciously divided into two parts under the leadership of the two team leaders. Li Yanzhi looked at Qin Dayong and Zhu Sheng, who led the team, and ordered loudly: "Zhanfeng battalion, attack!" ”

Two torrents of silver-gray iron armor set off from the city tower and rushed towards the city walls on both sides. Li Yanzhi held a knife in his right hand, and he was also at the forefront, leading Qin Dayong's team of ironclad soldiers to meet the increasing number of enemy troops on the city wall.

Li Yanzhi's worries are not unreasonable. Sending ironclad soldiers to the battle early is precisely in the hope that this elite can be used to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy army that attacks the city. Especially to reduce the number of those elites.

He knew in his heart that the later these elite troops entered the battle, the more powerless the endgame they faced, and the stronger their harvesting ability became. The only option to prevent this from happening is to cripple them in the battle they first faced!

In order to achieve this goal, Li Yanzhi did not hesitate to use the ironclad soldiers under his command to enter the battle early. The enemy's superior forces have already landed in the city, and the weakness of their own soldiers and combat strength will soon be exposed. In such a situation, there is no choice but to do so.

When a team of more than 50 ironclad soldiers joined the battlefield with long knives in hand, what Li Yanzhi presented in front of him was a struggle between his own auxiliary troops and superior enemy forces. After all, the auxiliaries have not been trained for a long time, and many of them are still in battle for the first time. Neither the will to fight nor the fighting skills are on the same level as the enemy troops who have landed in the city. At this time, although they formed a circle to engage the enemy, they gradually fell behind in the end.

Looking at the elite enemy guards who spread out in formation, they had already shown the advantage of their individual skills. The Lingju County soldiers around the small circle formation were constantly stabbed and fell. The elite enemy guards in leather armor are also extremely agile. In the face of the stabbing of several spears in the circle, they can often easily dodge, and then approach the periphery of the circle, and easily send the knives in their hands into the bodies of the sword soldiers on the periphery of the circle.

Watching his subordinates fall one by one in a circle, Li Yanzhi suddenly became furious. He stepped forward with his knife in his hand, and the nail leaves on his body collided with each other, making a sonorous sound. Seeing him hurrying forward, Qin Dayong also led dozens of people from his own department to follow. This iron-clad warrior of more than fifty people danced the sword forest for a while, and gradually approached the two sides who were glued on the city wall.

"Kill!" Li Yanzhi roared, and he was already running towards the nearest enemy soldier with a knife. Qin Dayong also carried a knife and led his subordinates to divide into groups, and each went to invite the enemy army. The well-trained ironclad soldiers soon split into ten squads and headed out for the battlefield. Qin Dayong immediately raised his knife and rushed in the direction where Li Yanzhi was going.

First, an enemy soldier was fighting with the nearby robes in a small circle of auxiliaries. When Li Yanzhi rushed to the side, the enemy soldier had just slashed the legs and feet of a knife player, and then rolled on the ground, avoiding the stabbing of several spears in the formation, and returned to a safe distance. His face was full of red light, and he looked excitedly at the Lingju County soldier who fell to the ground and wailed, and a touch of triumph appeared on his face. However, before he could be happy for too long, Li Yanzhi had already rushed to the side. He waved the long knife in his hand and slashed at the head of the enemy soldier who had just stood up!

Before the enemy could react, the blades of the blades had already slashed at his body. He let out a terrible howl, only to be greeted by another powerful slash.

The second slash struck him straight in the neck. In the flash of lightning, the enemy soldier was already in a different place. Li Yanzhi held the bladed long knife that was still dripping blood on the blade, as if he had descended from the mortal world, and looked at the remaining enemy troops majestically.

As soon as Li Yanzhifu, who was covered in iron armor and wearing an iron mask, appeared, the surrounding enemy troops already felt a chill rising from under their feet. As the main force under Liu Yin's command, these people naturally heard of the resistance encountered by their own strikers at the mouth of a valley near Jincheng. The soldiers who survived and escaped back in the vanguard army were most impressed by the iron-clad foot soldiers. Even the Hun cavalry, which was a thousand-man cavalry, failed to bargain for anything from these ironclad soldiers. This undoubtedly daunted them even more.

At this time, the ironclad foot soldiers described by the vanguard rout stood in front of him. As soon as he appeared, he had already killed one of his own robes, which made these Qiang foot soldiers tremble. However, Li Yanzhi held the knife in both hands unappetly, and pressed towards them step by step.

A guard with a short hammer in his hand roared and ran forward a few steps, and the short hammer full of spikes and iron cones in his hand was already dancing and smashing towards Li Yanzhi's body. Li Yanzhi frowned, but his steps were extremely agile and he stepped back. The enemy's short hammer had a very limited range. At this time, after being flashed by Li Yanzhi, the move was old, and he didn't have time to withdraw his hand. Li Yanzhi took a step forward, raised the bladed long knife with both hands, and slashed diagonally from right to left.

The enemy with the hammer watched as the knife slashed down, and he himself was powerless to dodge or parry. But in an instant, the knife in Li Yanzhi's hand had already opened the enemy soldier with a short hammer from his left shoulder to his chest. The originally hard ribs in his body were as fragile as paper paste in the face of this blow that Li Yanzhi almost used all his strength to slash.

The sharp pain from his shoulder to his chest caused the enemy with the hammer to drop it subconsciously and then try to cover the long wound in front of him with his hand. Soon, a fishy-sweet liquid flowed into his mouth. The heavy smell of blood gushing out of his chest was also constantly hitting his nose.

He struggled, his right hand covering his chest, and looked helplessly at the killing god in front of him, whose iron armor had been splattered with his blood. He opened his mouth and wanted to scold the other party, but he couldn't get a full syllable out of his throat. It's just a ho-ho sound, and Li Yanzhi did not show the slightest pity because of the helplessness and despair on his face. He withdrew his long knife with both hands and slammed it forward. The tip of the knife sliced through the enemy's fragile leather armor and stabbed him in the abdomen.

Li Yanzhi's cold gaze was conveyed through the small hole in the mask to the eyes of the enemy army. His frightened eyes even more stimulated the violence hidden in Li Yanzhi's heart. Li Yanzhi clenched the long knife with both hands and turned it hard. The churning pain quickly robbed the enemy of the last of his life. His eyes grew blank, and he soon fell to the ground, never to be heard again.

In one shot, two people were beheaded in a row. The enemy soldiers who had previously surrounded the circle did not dare to make a second attempt. They all leaned closer, each holding a knife and gun in their hands and looking at Li Yanzhi, their eyes revealing a deep fear and fear.

The soldiers who had been liberated from the siege and formed a circle were relieved at this time. With the order of the commander who led these auxiliaries, the auxiliaries who formed this circle formation each held their swords, guns and shields, and slowly pushed towards the enemy army in front of them while still maintaining their original formation.

"Armies must go forward and fight the enemy bravely! Those who behead the enemy will be promoted to one level. If a soldier beheads the enemy, he can join the army commander or receive a reward of 500 yuan! ”

This cold order reached the ears of the auxiliary soldiers on the side, but everyone couldn't believe it. They looked at each other, and then looked at the size of the ironclad soldier, it was clearly Li Sima, the head of the battalion.

For a while, everyone cheered up. Each of them held their weapons and counterattacked the enemy troops in the city. Li Yanzhi's reward was not low. It further stimulated these soldiers to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Qin Dayong led a group of soldiers to Li Yanzhi's side and approached the enemy with him. In the face of these iron-clad soldiers who were like Hades, and the auxiliary soldiers who marched in a circle formation, the Qiang warriors on the opposite side had begun to feel despair.

The auxiliaries who were advancing together clenched the weapons in their hands, and they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, wanting to make up for the siege they had been besieged by these Qiang warriors, and coupled with the reward that Li Sima had just offered, these soldiers had already forgotten their fears. In their eyes, the retreating enemy troops in front of them had already turned into a pile of copper coins.

The auxiliaries and the Qiang warriors joined the battle again. This time, the situation has suddenly turned upside down. The arrogant warriors who were extremely arrogant before were now stumbling in the desperate attack of the auxiliaries. After a while, several people fell.

"Kill!" Li Yanzhi raised the long knife in his hand and roared, he had already rushed forward a few steps, and once again fought with the enemy. The long knife in his hand, which was extremely heavy, was flying up and down at this time, and after a while, it slashed two people in a row. Qin Dayong and the others also stepped forward with knives, and everyone was unwilling to be left behind. After a moment or so of fighting, the enemy in front of him was completely killed and wounded in a blink of an eye.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Li Yanzhi shouted angrily, the blade of the long knife in his hand turned, and once again pointed to the side of the Qiang warriors who were fighting with the auxiliaries...... [.]
