Wang Fu snorted angrily, and slammed the spear in his hand into the ground. "Boom!" With a bang, the spear went straight to the nearest foot; A cloud of sand rose from the ground.

Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, and lifted the ground under his feet with his feet; A piece of sand is flying. He went out again and looked around, laughing: "Wang Shuai, I already have a way to break the enemy; This time, Qinghe is in a catastrophe. ”

Wang Fubao was overjoyed and said, "General Su, tell me where this plan came from?" ”

Su Dingfang said with a smile: "I was also inspired by Wang Shuai's spear. You see, most of this Qinghe is sandy and soft; Although this Qinghe City is tall and solid, its foundation is unstable. We can dig more trenches until the roots are raised under the city; In addition, with a trebuchet to bombard violently, such a joint attack up and down, Qinghe City will inevitably collapse. Won't it be easy for us to take Qinghe at that time? ”

"Good! Good! Good! Wang Fubao stroked his palms and laughed: "This time to capture Qinghe, Dingfang should be the first credit!" Someone! Hurry up and prepare to dig and build a trebuchet. ”

Cui Yi saw that he had beaten the enemy back, and rewarded Wu Yun to celebrate his success. Wu Yun laughed and said, "County guard, wait for this meal to repel the enemy?" These Xia soldiers are treacherous and cunning, and they are not afraid of death; I'm worried about them sneaking up at night; At the end of the night, he will stay on the castle tower in case of accidents. ”

Cui Yida was moved and said: "General Wu is really loyal and righteous!" This time to defend General Qinghe Wu is the first credit, and we will definitely thank you heavily. ”

Dou Xianniang led Liu Shishan, Wang Xiaohu and Meng Zhu to Yangxin; This was once the place where Kan Ling was stationed; Cheng Zhijie also broke Geqian here. The county guard Li Wan was originally just a cloth cloth, and his ability was slightly insufficient; Although the rank of official was promoted to the rank of county guard; However, it has been stationed in Yangxin County.

Although Li Wan's ability is slightly worse, he is self-aware, and he implemented the strategies set by Kan Ling and Cheng Zhijie at the beginning; and in his spare time, he repaired water conservancy and rectified the city defense; His assessment score as a county guard has always been at the upper middle level.

Du Ruhui felt that he had stayed in one place for too long, and deliberately transferred him back to Jinan to serve in the Ministry of Officials, which could be regarded as a reward for this conscientious old minister.

Li Wan also knew that his ability was insufficient, and happily decided to return to Jinan to take up his post; I didn't expect it to be at this time; Yangxin was surrounded by the 50,000 troops of the Xia army.

Li Wan gave up his plan to return to Jinan, and sent his wife and children home; Then he personally convened the old troops to discuss how to defend against the enemy army. Yangxin County Cheng Xie Zhong is his old subordinate, and he also followed him from Zuo Xiao's friendly army.

He only had 5,000 garrison soldiers and horses under his command, and he was certainly no match for the Xia army. Xie Zhong saw Li Wanyou running back, and said with an angry face: "Lord Li, you are no longer the county guard of Yangxin!" Before the new Commander, I was the Acting Commander! Don't you trust me? ”

Li Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I've been living in Yangxin for many years; How can you say that this Yangxin is also my hometown, right? What's wrong with me wanting to contribute to my hometown again? Let's stop arguing! You go to the head of the city to resist the enemy, and I will go to the city to organize the people. Although Yangxin is small, he wants them to sink into the sand. ”

Xie Zhong sighed, and went up to the city wall without saying a word, Li Wan laughed and took the messenger of the county guard to the city to gather the people and call on everyone to resist the outside world.

Maybe it's because the prestige of the old county guard is still there, and the Great Demon Kingdom has won the hearts of the people; There was an endless stream of people who came to help; In one morning's effort, more than 2,000 people were gained. Without saying a word, Li Wan sent all these to the city tower, recruiting thousands of women, old and young, to help carry the supplies; Yangxin City is ready for a big battle.

Dou Xianniang and others besieged the city, and then sent people to the city to persuade them to surrender. Xie Zhong and Li Wan came to the head of the city and pointed at the enemy below the city and cursed, and then asked the soldiers to shoot the enemy's messenger. Dou Xianniang snorted coldly and asked Wang Xiaohu to lead an army of 10,000 to attack the city.

The army of 10,000 thieves swarmed in, and these recruits were frightened. Li Wan laughed at the head of the city and said: "Alas, I always heard that Dou Jiande's army has three heads and six arms, and it is invincible in all battles; When I saw it today, I also carried a meat ball on both shoulders, but that's it! How can such an army be able to stop the strong bow and crossbow of our Great Demon Kingdom? ”

The people around nodded their heads when they heard this, and their faces were slightly better. Li Wan and Xie Zhongyi discussed, and Li Wan took new soldiers to defend the city above; Xie Zhong led people to ambush under the city.

"The armies will follow me to break through Yangxin, and I will wait for the treasures in the city to get them! Kill! Wang Xiaohu shouted loudly and led people to rush towards Yangxin City.

Li Wan was calm and talked eloquently; The surrounding recruits also gradually calmed down. "Shoot!" Seeing that the enemy was getting closer, Li Wan waved his hand and gave the order. The people of the city hurriedly opened their bows and arrows.

Crossbowmen are much easier to train than archers, and these recruits can master them in a few strokes; The casualties of Wang Xiaohu's attacking troops increased greatly.

"Shield cover! The archers come forward to suppress! Wang Xiaohu watched the soldiers around him die one by one; Angry whoast whoa.

The besieging forces were quickly adjusted, and they relied on the strength of the outnumbered people, causing a large increase in casualties on the city. The vanguard general Hua Nanjin held a broadsword in his hand and rushed all the way to the city wall. They were just about to carry a ladder to attack the city; Suddenly, a squeak was heard, and Yangxin's door was opened.

Hua Nanjin's first reaction was that the enemy had surrendered! He yelled and the crowd rushed in. "Buzz!" There was a rapid rain of arrows, mixed with some sparkling iron bumps.

"Ahh After a scream of "boom", a loud bang suddenly sounded at the city gate; Then flesh and blood flew sideways, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air; Wang Xiaohu was so frightened that the big knife in his hand almost didn't fall to the ground, and the other soldiers almost urinated out.

Hua Nanjin was blown off a leg on the spot and fell to the ground. Xie Zhong shouted: "God bless!" The Great Demon Kingdom will win! Kill me as you please! Seeing that the morale was high, the soldiers behind him rushed forward with a shout.

Xie Zhong took Hua Nanjin's head with a knife; He shouted into the air, "Kill! As he spoke, he rushed into the Xia army, and with a wave of his sword, he killed several people one after another. The army of the Great Demon Kingdom was about to shout hoarsely, and rushed forward, cutting out a bloody rain.

Xia Jun was already frightened and ran back like a lost dog; Wang Xiaohu can't do anything when he sees things; It also slowly retreated with the army.

Xie Zhong chased and killed for a while, and saw that the enemy's rear army had not been chaotic and did not dare to go deeper; Hurried back to the city. Li Wan took the opportunity to shout: "General Xie is mighty!" Long live the Great Demon Kingdom! ”

"General Xie is mighty! Long live the Great Demon Kingdom! "General Xie is mighty! Long live the Great Demon Kingdom! The soldiers shouted with their real arms, and their voices soared into the sky.

Wang Xiaohu sighed, and knelt down in the capital army: "The last general will lose his troops and lose his generals; If it is damaged by the military prestige, please punish Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”

Dou Xianniang shook her head slightly and said: "General Wang, please get up, this defeat is all because of the enemy's strange weapons, and it has nothing to do with General Wang!" ”

Liu Shishan said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this great demon has this divine weapon; What should I do? How can you resist it? ”

Dou Xianniang smiled: "Don't worry, generals; I don't expect the enemy to have too many of these weapons; Otherwise, they could have achieved greater results by striking out today. If there is less of this weapon, it can only be used for surprise attacks; It is difficult to decide the winner. But I am concerned with the sharp bow of my enemies; Condescending and disadvantageous to our army. ”

Hearing this, the generals nodded secretly, and asked for strategies one after another; Dou Xianniang ordered the craftsmen in the army to build a lot of chariots and giant shields as high as the city tower, and prepare to storm Yangxin.

The news that the enemy was cutting down trees everywhere to build siege engines soon reached Li Wan's ears; Xie Zhong and others all came to ask Li Wan for advice.

Li Wan smiled: "There is no other person; If the enemy can build a building car, we can raise the tower. Tell everyone to make more wooden fences so that the enemy can't climb over. There is also the preparation of withered grass and fire oil, and watch me break his building. ”

A few days later, Wang Xiaohu asked Dou Xianniang again for an order to take someone to attack Yangxin Yixue. Dou Xianniang nodded and gave him another 10,000 troops, telling him to take down Yangxin.

Wang Xiaohu promised to risk the arrows and led the army to advance to the city of Yangxin; He first ordered his troops to climb ladders to attack; It turned out that the city only returned fire with bows and arrows, and did not drop the terrible iron ball; Only then did he let go and ordered the building car to come forward and attack the city.

The soldiers on the building car had just arrived at the edge of the city, and suddenly found that there were a lot more wooden railings blocking the way at the head of the city, and the Xia army behind was still climbing up along the building car, and soon squeezed into a big pimple.

"Shoot! Set! Li Wan roared, and his soldiers fired bows and arrows in unison, and the hay soaked in fire oil was bundled into a bundle, lit and thrown on the building cart.

"Boom!" It was only a moment's effort, and the building car had already burst into flames, and Xia Jun, who was clinging to it, was covered in fire and had to jump directly.

"Boom", some people fell and broke their bones, and some people were burned into torches; Others had their legs broken and could not move, and were reduced to charcoal in a wail.

The morale of the soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom soared, and they took advantage of the machine to kill the enemy with swords and guns; Wang Xiaohu saw that the morale of his soldiers was low and timid; I had to take someone and retreat. There was a cheer again in the city.

Dou Xianniang is good at fighting, but she is lacking in siege; When she saw that her plan had failed, she led a large army to forcibly attack the city; The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in Yangxin. The battle continued into the evening, and although the enemy climbed the tower several times, they were driven down again.

Seeing that it was getting late, Dou Xianniang had no choice but to lead the army to retreat. Li Wan also hurriedly ordered people to rectify the city defense and treat the wounded; Replenish the supplies for the defense of the city.

Many of the generals of the Xia army were peasants who followed Dou Jiande step by step; They didn't have many ways to siege the city; Although I found that Dou Xianniang was depressed, there was no way; They all kept silent.
