Heaven and earth returned to tranquility, the dust and fog gradually fell, and the first line of the north gate of Xinye re-entered the field of vision of the soldiers of the Zhou army, and as expected, it was bombarded beyond recognition and sore.

It's just that the city wall only looks dilapidated on the surface, but the main city wall has not collapsed and is still standing.

"Xinye City, it's really stronger than Yuyang, this king wants to see how strong you can be......"

Zhang Yuan's eagle eyes froze, his arrogance was wild, he waved his knife and pointed at the enemy city, and shouted: "Stop the shelling, the whole army will crush Xinye City for this king." ”

Tom tom!

The rumbling war drums shook the sky, and thousands of Zhou troops, like a tide, roared and pounced on the head of Xinye City.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhou army rushed to the front of the city.

The ladder went to the tree, the arrows rained down, and the line of the north gate of Xinye, which was hundreds of steps away, launched a fierce battle of attack and defense

This time, because the main city wall of Xinye did not crack and collapse, the difficulty of the Zhou army's siege was much greater than that of the Battle of Yuyang.

Although Zhang Heng was injured in the shoulder and could not fight with his sword in person, with his excellent ability to command troops, relying on the strong city defense of Xinye City, and relying on thousands of soldiers and horses, he actually blocked the fierce attacks of the Zhou army wave after wave, and fought for more than an hour.

Looking at the stubbornly resisting Fujian army, Zhang Yuandao's eyebrows were condensed, and he secretly thought, "This Zhang Heng is indeed a tricky guy, if I don't get rid of this person, I'm afraid that when Han Sui's reinforcements arrive, I won't be able to capture this Xinye City." ”

At the head of the city, Zhang Heng was wrapped in bandages, standing with a knife, commanding the Fujian army to resist desperately.

Seeing that the offensive of the Zhou army outside the city gradually began to weaken, Zhang Heng's face couldn't help but reappear with a look of pride and confidence, and sneered: "Zhang Yuan, Yuyang City caught you off guard and took advantage of it. ”

Under the self-confidence and fierceness, Zhang Heng thought that he had defended the city, and called on the soldiers to play a brave role, and the morale of the Fujian army was greatly boosted for a while.

"King, this Xinye City is too strong, and my heavenly thunder cannon is useless, this Zhang Heng is quite good, looking at this situation, I'm afraid that I won't be able to capture Xinye today, so it's better to withdraw the troops for the time being, and then think of other ways." Li Si, who was beside him, calmly persuaded Zhang Yuan to withdraw his troops.

Zhang Yuan is not a tenacious person, seeing that the situation is unfavorable, he will not be angry, and immediately ordered the whole army to withdraw troops and force the city to be walled in the north of Xinye City.

Bell Bell Bell –

The sound of gold sounded in the wilderness, and the generals who were attacking the city, although they were discouraged, had to retreat slowly according to the orders of their headquarters and horses.

At the head of the city, Zhang Heng looked down at the retreat of the Zhou army, and let out a bad breath, as if he had also avenged the battle of Yuyang, and snorted coldly: "Zhang Yuan, I said a long time ago, it is necessary for you to fold your knife under Xinye City, and I Zhang Heng will do what he says." ”

Along the front line of the city, thousands of Fujian troops were so surprised when they saw the Zhou army withdraw, they almost couldn't believe their eyes, and after a while, they confirmed it.

The Fujian soldiers suddenly burst into excited cheers, wantonly insulting the Zhou troops who had withdrawn outside the city, showing off their might.

Zhang Heng couldn't help laughing proudly, and shouted with his hands: "Give the king good news, just let him not be anxious, just calmly come to the aid of the soldiers, Xinye has me Zhang Heng, as stable as the party." ”

A messenger quickly went from the south gate, with the good news of Zhang Heng's retreat from the Zhou army, and ran towards the south gate.

Inside and outside Xinye City, the proud cheers of the Fujian army echoed, and they did not disperse for a long time.

"His grandmother's, I didn't expect Zhang Heng, a son of a bitch, to really have two brushes, and our 50,000 army can't take down Xinye City."

As soon as Li Dingguo returned to the camp, he threw his helmet to the ground angrily, and complained to Ji Chang: "I said Lao Yang, aren't you called Ji Chang, why didn't you shoot the bastard surnamed Zhang that day." ”

"What is appropriate, it is all a false name that everyone has deducted for me, if I really make every arrow accurate, then what else does the king want you to do, I can conquer the world by myself." Ji Chang argued with a wry smile.

"Then if you can't shoot an arrow, can't you shoot him another arrow, maybe you'll be killed." Li Dingguo muttered.

Ji Chang shook his head and sighed: "Martial arts have reached the level of Zhang Heng, unless he is defenseless, otherwise even if it is a divine shooter like me and Hua Rong, he will not be killed by a cold arrow, and he was hit by an arrow before, he must be alert, it is too difficult to shoot him again."

The next day, when the morning light first appeared, the sound of gongs and assemblies sounded in the Zhou camp.

In the earth-shattering gong, the 50,000 elite divisions of the Great Zhou Kingdom gathered out of the camp again, formed large and small armies, and approached in the direction of the north gate of the city again.

The Zhou army approached, and the Fujian army at the head of the city immediately made a loud warning and hurriedly sent people to Pegasus to report to Zhang Heng.

At this time, Zhang Heng had just woken up, he thought that Zhang Yuan had failed in the attack yesterday, and he had already seen his strength, and Han Sui's reinforcements were near, Zhang Yuan would have to change his strategy, change the quick battle to a protracted war, and stop the attack on the city.

Zhang Heng didn't expect that after only one night's effort, Zhang Yuan would make a comeback and attack again.

Zhang Heng didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly put on his tent and went straight to the city.

A moment later, he was already standing at the head of the north gate of the city, raising his eyes and looking down, only to see that hundreds of steps away, 50,000 Zhou troops formed more than dozens of military formations, large and small, black and oppressive, and lined up in front of the city.

"Zhang Yuan, it seems that I didn't beat you yesterday, is your skin itchy again......" The corners of Zhang Heng's mouth raised a proud sneer.

In his opinion, Zhang Yuan's attack today is nothing more than another old trick, first bombarding the city with heavenly thunder, and then launching an infantry army, in a vain attempt to storm the city with human road tactics.

It's a pity that yesterday's battle has proved that the city defense is indestructible, and even the heavenly thunder cannon is useless.

"General Zhang, look, in the enemy formation, there doesn't seem to be a shadow of the heavenly thunder cannon this time." The sharp-eyed lieutenant suddenly reminded.

Zhang Heng raised his eyes to take a closer look, and sure enough, as the adjutant general said, in the Zhou army's formation, he did not see the shadow of a heavenly thunder cannon.

Without using the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, does Zhang Yuan want to break through the city just by relying on human tactics?

Zhang Henghu hesitated for a moment, but snorted disdainfully, "No matter what means Zhang Yuan uses, the city is indestructible, as long as I Zhang Heng is there, he will not want to attack the city." ”

The lieutenants on the left and right were infected by his self-confidence, and when they recalled yesterday's victory, their morale was immediately boosted, their suspicions were swept away, and they all prepared for the battle with all their might.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath, held the knife in his left hand, pointed to the outside of the city, and shouted proudly: "My sons and daughters of Da Min, take out your bloody nature, let them see the power of our Fujian people, and ask Zhang Yuan to fold the knife under the city again." ”
