Tong Guan returned to the big tent and waited for Zheng Zhi to report that the matter was in order. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info didn't say much, let out a breath of air, got up and led everyone to the city.

There are constantly scouts coming to report, and the party members are coming today. The people stood at the head of the city and waited, and the soldiers and men were also at the head of the city.

It wasn't until the middle of the afternoon that the figure of the party member finally appeared in the distance.

At first, there were more and more shadows, and then more and more, covering the mountains and fields, and more than 50,000 cavalry, occupying the entire northern horizon.

Everyone didn't say a word, just stared at the party members in the north who were becoming clearer and clearer.

But it was the party captives who had been tied to the city wall for almost two days suddenly shouted, before these people were already dying, and they had only been fed two buns in the past two days.

The whole city was filled with the shouts of the 10,000 party captives, followed by the scolding and scolding of the Western soldiers.

With all the party members in sight, they began to set up camp, and some soldiers began to cut down wood to build camps.

In the distance, several teams of hundred-man cavalry came out, running wildly around the city, as if they were checking the situation in the city. It was also this situation that was unexpected by the party members, and in the end they seemed to be a little late.

"Lao Hu, come here, shoot me!" Zheng Zhi looked at the party cavalry team galloping two or three hundred steps away, and shouted Lao Hu and Hu Jingzhong. Under Zheng Zhi, Hu Jingzhong's archery skills are the most accurate.

Hu Jingzhong stepped forward, beside him was a bed crossbow, the winch creaked, and the arrows like spears were also loaded.

Zheng Zhi obviously didn't shoot a volley from the soldiers, but just ordered Lao Hu to operate the bed crossbow. The range is too far, only the bed crossbow can reach the enemy, so call Lao Hu to shoot, not to kill or injure many enemies, but to improve morale.

The enemy was running arrogantly in front of him, Zheng Zhi thought to himself, how could he just watch them run back and forth.

A few soldiers operate the bed crossbow and get ready. Lao Hu moved the bed crossbow up and down to aim, and a big knife in his hand was ready to cut the rope of the bed crossbow at any time.

"Lao Hu, it's coming." Zheng Zhi kept reminding Hu Jingzhong, his eyes fixed on the cavalry that was beating horses to the left.

Everyone was staring at Lao Hu's movements, Tong Guan watched Lao Hu's movements while looking at the party members who were running wildly, and he was still a little nervous in his heart.

There was a chopping sound, the bed crossbow buzzed, arrows flew out, and the bed crossbow still vibrate.

The huge arrows flew straight towards the distant cavalry, and in an instant, one of the knights in the horse team flew up, and hit another person, and the two of them flew a few feet and fell to the ground.

An arrow pierced both of them!

"Good!" Zheng Zhi applauded loudly.

"Good marksmanship!" Tong Guan is also praised.

Everyone was complimented.

The soldiers at the head of the city burst into loud shouts and cheers. Galloping outside the city so unscrupulously is such an arrow that can relieve the hatred in his heart.

Lao Hu thanked everyone for the compliment. His face was full of joy and relief, and he was finally fortunate not to be dishonored, if this arrow missed, the party members would inevitably be even more arrogant.

Looking at the knights running wildly off the field, they retreated one or two hundred steps away in the blink of an eye, not daring to get close to the city again. That's what Zheng Zhi wants!

The party members set up camp unhurriedly, and seemed to know clearly that it was impossible for the Song army to attack the camp.

The camp was entrenched on one side, and a large number of siege equipment slowly appeared in front of the battle, although it looked shoddy from a distance, and did not appear to be much sophisticated.

However, the old generals such as the Seed Master Dao still frowned, obviously knowing that the power of those archery and stone throwing equipment was really not small.

Zheng Zhi was a little surprised, this was also the first time he had seen that the party members also had professional siege equipment.

"If our Western Army also has 10,000 cavalry, the party members will not dare to be so arrogant." Tong Guan said hatefully, obviously Tong Guan is not ignorant of military affairs at all, and he also knows that it is unrealistic to rely on foot soldiers to attack the enemy formation.

The party members are also really arrogant, and the camp is like a fence in the people's vegetable garden. The siege equipment was so big that it was slowly assembled in front of the battle.

The afterglow is slanting westward, and each of them buries the pot and rebels.

None of the officers and men of the Western Army left their posts, even eating and sleeping were also on the top of the city, and huge braziers were lit around the city walls, which illuminated the outside of the field.

On the other hand, there are still a lot of songs and laughter in the party camp.

Song Gou is cowardly, this sentence is probably the words of the party members from novels to big words. This sentence is not only the disdain of the party members for the Song people, but also the self-comfort of the party members for the strategic situation of losing and retreating.

Zheng Zhi is still hanging on with a broken arm, time waits for no one, the war is just around the corner, I really can't wait for Zheng Zhi to fight again after being injured. In such a defensive battle, it is not Zheng Zhi's turn to fight and rush into battle again.

Just like the Battle of Pingxia City more than ten years ago, it was still the Dangxiang people who attacked, and the Song army defended the city. Only in this way can the greatest advantages of the Western Army be brought into play, and the economic advantages of the Great Song Dynasty can also be brought to the battlefield.

Able to turn offensive battles into defensive battles, so as to give full play to their greatest advantages. It shows the depth of the strategy of the seed master and Tong Guan.

In the gap in the city, the soldiers and soldiers kept raising the simple mound all night, hoping that the mound would be useful when the last resort was necessary.

It's hard to get through a long night, especially one like today.

Zheng Zhi was in armor, drank a few taels of wine, and had a fine iron spear on his pillow, but he couldn't sleep.

No matter how difficult the night is, the sun still rises.

The party members also slowly gathered in front of the distant array with the footsteps of the sun.

But these party knights have become foot soldiers, with wooden shields in front of them and long ladders on their shoulders.

For such a large-scale siege, the horses are really burdensome, and if you attack on horseback, and finally dismount to attack the city, so many horses will stay under the city, but it will be an obstacle to the attack.

Such a skilled cavalry as foot soldiers attacking the city is the direct reason for the defeat and retreat of the party members in the past twenty or thirty years. But it's always been a vicious circle.

The queue is standing and the formation is assembled.

The sun had just risen, and the earth was covered with gold.

Drums rumble. The party members are ready to attack.

Looking at the western army on the city wall, most of them went down to the city, entered the city, and hid behind the city wall.

Only a few soldiers were left behind the battlements, which were full of dying party captives.

Zheng Zhi also went down the city wall with a broken arm.

It seems that the Western Army has long known the next move of the party members.

First, the simple catapult, the bed crossbow began to attack, and the sky was filled with the sound of breaking the sky.

In an instant, the city wall shook, and a loud rumbling sound erupted, and earth and stones flew sideways. The newly built city wall is facing its first challenge.

It's just that the quality of the trebuchet of this party is really average, and the stones thrown out are not huge.

Stones fell on the top of the city, screaming again and again, and many Western soldiers hiding behind the battlements were affected. But it was the party captive, and in an instant, the corpses were all over the field, and the blood was smashed by the flying stones.

The shouts resumed, and the party infantry began to charge, and the rain of arrows covered the sky.

Zheng Zhi quickly went up to the head of the city in his defense area, and shouted in the air: "Everyone is in position, shoot, shoot quickly." ”
