Chapter 435: The Imperial Driver's Expedition

Ye Minzhong's long knife for a while, hit the horse forward, and wanted to intercept his sister, but at this time, Zhang Meng made a move, and the two hammers struck down fiercely, only to hear a bang, the opponent's long knife came out of his hand, and the liquid in his palm came out of blood.

Ye Minzhong was shocked, and he didn't care about anything else, he immediately ran back to the military formation.

"Your Majesty, two mothers, you can go to the city to rest for the time being, and hand it over to the last general, who will ensure that nothing goes wrong." On the side, Quan Jing arched his hand and said.

"No, I'm just here to watch, watching you swing your sword and kill the enemy!"

Wang Xu's expression was resolute, Zhang Xue was the same, as for Wen Mengliang, she was a little hesitant, she was very afraid of blood, and she still remembered the scene in Yonghe Palace the last time.

"Your Majesty, look, they're retreating." Lei Yan suddenly pointed forward.

Everyone raised their eyes, and sure enough, the snowy cavalry retreated silently like a tide, and disappeared into the sky after a while.

"Oh I see, they didn't have siege engines."

Wang Xu said: "That's okay, we can prepare for it, and when the Snowy People officially attack the city, we can give the enemy a head-on attack!" ”

..........

The next day, the Snowy People did not come.

On the third day, he didn't come.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the people of the snowy region came, overwhelming and surging.

The reason why these three days were delayed was not that Ye Minzhong did not want to attack Xiping Pass, but that the siege equipment in his rear had not arrived.

Since the intention of going south, Ye Minzhong has asked people to build five trebuchets, five siege towers, as well as many pontoon bridges and lookouts, all of which are made in imitation of the Central Plains people, which is very useful for the siege of the city.

In this southern expedition, he made a lot of determination, and he would not win!

He believed that with these siege equipment, he would definitely be able to make contributions!

Today, he has only brought out 200,000 people. There were 100,000 iron cavalry, and the rest were the elite of cavalry converted into infantry, who abandoned their horses and replaced them with siege troops.

100,000 siege troops! The momentum is not small.

Knock knock...

With the sound of war drums. Ye Minzhong waved his hand, and 20,000 siege troops hit the front and began a tragic siege battle!

"Kill!"

.....

20,000 soldiers marched overwhelmingly, shouting and killing to the sky, making the soldiers on the city wall of Xipingguan shiver at the same time.

The soldiers were a little nervous though. But seeing Wang Xu standing in the city, they gritted their tooth jars one after another, and even the dignified monarch of a country went to the battlefield in person, what else did they have to be afraid of?

Zhang Xue and Wen Mengliang did not come today, the two were forcibly left in the city, confined in the mansion to accompany Ye Minyan, and were not allowed to leave a step, which was also for the safety of the two, and Ye Minyan, also for his safety.

on the city walls. Wang Xu was wearing a golden helmet and armor, holding a horizontal knife, waiting quietly, he was ready to cut and kill himself, since he came back from Nanjun, he had never killed anyone, and his palms were very itchy.

Now that he is an emperor, it is even more rare to have a chance.

Zhang Meng was urged by Lei Yan that his task was not to kill the enemy, but to protect Wang Xu step by step. Don't leave Wang Xu for half a step!

The enemy under the city is getting closer and closer, and Quan Jing waved his long knife in his hand: "Archers prepare, shoot!" ”

Whoosh...

The arrows went like meteors, and the overwhelming feathers of arrows shot towards the city. Suddenly, the people in the snow fell in pieces.

The city wall of Xipingguan is very long, several miles, between two mountains, and it is the key place to block the people of the snowy region from entering the pass, for several years. Murong Kui of the Ministry of Industry listed this place as a key building object, and it was built several zhang high, several zhang thick, and extremely strong.

Miles of defense, without tens of thousands of soldiers, it is impossible to defend and live, so in this first zhang, the whole well was injected with 15,000 elites!

Puff puff...

The people in the snow fell one by one, and the popping sound kept sounding, but this did not affect the offensive trend of the enemy army under the city.

Bang bang bang...

After a short time, the ladder of the snowy people was set up on the side of the city wall, but at this time, with the order of the whole well, countless huge stones were thrown down like rain, and the snowy people were smashed again.

Rumble!

A boulder hit a snowy man, and the snowy man was also considered to be young and strong, holding a horizontal knife and shield, and was climbing along the ladder to the city wall, but this stone directly smashed him back to his hometown, fell down the ladder, and shattered his bones.

"Ahh My hand. ”

Next to the snowy man, another snowy man fell, his arm pierced by a sharp sword, and blood flowed.

In the city, Wang Xu watched nervously, and Lei Yan, like Zhang Meng, stood behind him.

"It's a pity, if only we had a three-bow bed crossbow." Lei Yan sighed.

Speaking of the three-bow bed crossbow, Wang Xu thought about it, turned around and said, "Yes, what about the three-bow bed crossbow?" The Armory has built so many bed crossbows, why don't you have one here? ”

Lei Yan said: "I should have arranged a bed crossbow here a long time ago, but from here to the imperial capital, it is four thousand miles, even if it is to the western capital, it is three thousand miles, and there is a Yangtze River in the middle, which is extremely troublesome to transport, and there is no war here, so it has been postponed until today." ”

"Confused!" Wang Xu shouted unhappily.

Now the three-bow bed crossbow is an obsolete product in the imperial capital, and there are not enough to count, at least there are thousands! If you can transfer a hundred units here, you won't be so passive.

"Kill!"

Just when Wang Xu was stunned, a snowy man climbed up along the siege tower, and walked across the flying bridge, and had reached the city wall, Wang Xu clenched the horizontal knife, stepped forward and slashed down, and suddenly, the snowy man howled and fell down the city wall.

"When Lao Tzu's red-coated cannons arrive, these siege towers will all be reduced to nothing, see what you use to attack the city!"

Wang Xu said to himself as he waved his knife and began to meet the soldiers who rushed up the tower.

Suddenly, a snowy soldier swung a knife straight to Wang Xu's neck, and Wang Xu was now attacking other soldiers, at the last moment, Zhang Meng instantly shot, and the hammer swung out, directly hitting the snowy man more than two feet away from the city wall, becoming a waste man in the air, startling those snowy people who were climbing up.

Oh my God, it's more than two feet away! At this time, even if he is the first warrior in the snowy region, I am afraid that he does not have this power.

After killing a dozen enemy soldiers, Jeonjing noticed this and immediately mobilized more archers to come here to fill the gap. The soldiers in this place are indeed a little weak, no wonder some snowy people can climb up.

As soon as the archers arrived, it was difficult for the snowy people to step on the city wall again, everything returned to calm, Wang Xu waited in place with a horizontal knife in his hand, but he waited for a long time, and he didn't see a snowy person, and then, it handed the horizontal knife in his hand to a soldier beside him.
