"Marshal, most of the catapults have been destroyed, the enemy has taken advantage of the location of the city, our people can't approach it at all, if we blindly attack, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties!" Outside the city of Inju, the general in charge of the catapult unit looked at Yang Lihua with a cold face with an anxious and sad face, and reported loudly.

Yang Lihua's eyes stared closely at the towering city wall in the distance, looking at the arrows that flew down overwhelmingly, there was no change in her face, and her voice was extremely cold and calm: "The infantry formed a shield array to protect the catapult troops, mobilized all the catapults, regardless of losses, and concentrated on attacking in the same direction!" ”

"Yes!" The general was clever and quickly went to carry out the order.

This time, the Huaizhou army brought a total of 300 catapults, and with Yang Lihua's order, all the catapults were pushed to the front line, and under the arch guard of the shield array, the 300 catapults roared together to attack Renzhou City. Hundreds of large rocks roared towards Renzhou City, dense and terrifying.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”

The stone projectile hit the thick city wall, shattering itself and causing the city wall to vibrate, causing the masonry to peel off and crack at the same time. It was just a round of stone rain, and a city wall within a radius of 30 meters in Renzhou City became full of holes and devastation.

The Jiangsu rebels are naturally not to be outdone, with the convenience of the city, the enemy is completely within the range of their own attack, and the catapult can exert more great power. Even with the guard of the shield array, the catapults on the side of the Huaizhou army were constantly damaged, and the number became more and more scarce.

Happy and Gao Changgong are a family, and it is naturally impossible for the two sides to really fight to the death, but if there are no casualties, it is obviously impossible. It was because Yang Lihua did not let the sword and shield men assume that the ladder would capture the city under the cover of the catapult and bow and arrow, and Xing did not use the bed crossbow and gunpowder with the longest range and great power, and even the spring of the catapult was adjusted to shorten the range, so as to reduce the casualties of both sides.

Although Happy hates killing, especially between his own people, he has to make this cruel decision in order to gather strength and wait for the best time to come.

Once the success is achieved, the bones will wither, and the dead will not only have enemies, but also their own people. You must know that on the battlefield in later generations, when the infantry charged with rifles and machine guns, it seemed that the blood was boiling, but nearly one-fifth of them were "sudden" to death by their comrades behind them.

The siege battle on 14 May lasted only half an hour and ended with the destruction of half of the catapults of the Huaizhou army. When the two sides withdrew their troops, accompanied by a lightning bolt that tore through the sky, heavy rain poured down, dispersing the evil qi in the sky.

Happy had already issued a ban, but now the rain was pouring down, and there was no one on the streets of Inju City, and even the soldiers in charge of guarding the city had to hide in the corner towers and arrow towers, making the whole city seem more and more silent. The smoke between heaven and earth is misty, seriously obstructing the view and washing away all dirt.

……

"Xiao Ling, are all your subordinates in place?" Ling Xiaoyun held the long sword in his arms, hid his body tightly in the dense grass, and asked softly to Xiao Ling, who was dressed in black and had a cold face beside him.

Xiao Ling nodded, and then said, "When will you do it?" ”

"When they act, we will do it." Ling Xiaoyun's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with a sigh.

Xiao Ling's eyebrows were frivolous, and he asked stiffly, "Soft-hearted?" ”

Ling Xiaoyun shook his head and said in a low voice, "It doesn't feel comfortable killing so many people at once!" ”

"Humph!" Xiao Ling snorted coldly and said, "This is their choice, put away your sympathy!" They don't know how many people are suffering while they are alive, so they should do the right thing for heaven! It was rare for Xiao Ling to say a few more words, which was also because of the people who were close to him. Although he now knows how to use disguise when carrying out tasks, he still has a cool personality in front of familiar people.

"You're right, the Governor gave them a chance, but they didn't take it!" Ling Xiaoyun said approvingly, dispelling the trace of confusion and melancholy in his heart, and then looked through the grass like a falcon to a quiet house a hundred meters away.

Xiao Ling also stopped talking, his eyelids were lowered, and his breath was long, if he wasn't a familiar person, he would definitely think that he was asleep.

"Boom!"

The raindrops of beans smashed on his body, Ling Xiaoyun's brows furrowed, although he was mentally strong and would not get sick from the cold, but it was obviously uncomfortable to be wet by the rain. Ling Xiaoyun looked at Xiao Ling beside him, but saw that the latter was like an old monk who had settled down, still not moving, letting the rain slide down his hair and pour into his collar.

Ling Xiaoyun was amazed in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and closed his eyes and quietly waited for the time to act. Although he had not tried to compete with Xiao Ling, Ling Xiaoyun knew that if it was a life-and-death fight, he would never be Xiao Ling's opponent, and compared to Xiao Ling, he lacked perseverance, and this was also the reason why Xiao Ling was happily appointed as the head of the Shadow Thorn.

……

"There are two hours left for us to make the agreed move, I wonder if you are fully prepared?" Murong Wen glanced at the people around him with a gloomy face and asked in a deep voice.

Murong Wen is not tall, slightly fat, although he is in his fifties, but his red face does not show the slightest old age. It's just that at this time, the whole person is gloomy and sad, because his only son offended Gao Xin a few days ago and was beheaded for public display.

Murong Wen was old enough to have a son, so he naturally doted on his only son very much, so that he had committed a lot of sins. However, in Murong Wen's opinion, this is nothing, the lives of ordinary people are not much more noble than chickens, guineas, dogs, and dogs, and life and death are not left to the anger of the powerful.

Although Murong Gongzi was disrespectful to the governor, he did not sin to death, but Murong Wen begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and tried his best, Gao Xin just didn't want to let go, and still sent Murong Gongzi to the guillotine.

The change of the white-haired man to the black-haired man made Murong Wen grief-stricken, and he was even more resentful of Gao Xin. I think that when Gao Xin defeated Wu Sangui, he was the first person to stand in line, and now Gao Xin doesn't miss the old feelings, how can this not make him jealous.

Murong Gongzi's affairs and other big and wealthy families naturally also saw it, and it was inevitable that they would have a sense of sadness about the death of their lips and teeth, and the death of a rabbit and a fox. Today is the Murong family, and tomorrow may be himself. As a result, under the instigation and contact of Murong Wen, half of the wealthy families in Jiangsu Province decided to take refuge in King Sui and oppose Gao Xin. After all, compared to Gao Xin, a murderous demon who doesn't blink, Gao Changgong would not raise a butcher's knife at will.

"Master Murong, don't worry! This time, there are 80,000 elites of the prince of Sui and Huaizhou, even if Gao Xin Xiaoer has three heads and six arms, it is in vain! Let's go back and capture him alive, and then let you slash this wingman and avenge Ling Lang! A middle-aged man in his forties and lean said with a smile.

"What Zhao Lao said is good, although the prince of Sui is young, he is also famous, where is Gao Xuan, Gao Ana and the like can be compared, with him to take care of, Gao Xin must be in a catastrophe this time. Killing him can not only reorganize the dynasty, but we can also get a lot of benefits! ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme! The old man of the match factory and the garment factory has been coveting it for a long time! We are working hard, but we hate that Gao Xin only gave us less than one percent of the profits! This time, he will be called a noble imperial power, and all his wealth will be turned into nothingness! ”

……

There were thirty or forty people in the room, and although their voices were deliberately kept low, their gossip was still quite noisy. However, the thought that after tonight, the devil that weighed on their heads would cease to exist, everyone could not help but rejoice.

Although Gao Xin has dismantled many people who want to subvert his regime in the past two or three years, Murong Wen and others are quite confident in this extermination operation. Not to mention that there is the most elite Huaizhou army outside the city, in terms of scale, manpower, and material resources, this time is also unprecedented.

"Gao Xin'er, today's old man will definitely kill you to avenge my son! Who told you to be insatiable and merciless, you are to blame for all this! Looking at the people around him who were full of red light, enthusiastically discussing the action plan and the distribution of benefits, Murong Wen clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, and said viciously in his heart.

When Zi Shi arrived, Murong Wen's somewhat stiff waist suddenly straightened as loose, and his eyes, which were a little cloudy, were instantly dazzling, and his body was full of a very sharp aura. The others also stopped talking to each other and quietly waited for Murong Wen's order. Because Murong Wen and Gao Xin had a grudge against their son, this time it was him who took the lead and contributed the most, and everyone took him as the leader.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auspicious time has come, and the action begins!"

"Obey the orders of the head of the Murong family!"

Murong Wen nodded slightly, looked at everyone with high spirits, and shouted in a deep voice: "Where is Li Kui?" ”

"In!"

The one who spoke was a man with a rough face, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a Xuanhua axe obliquely inserted on his waist, a beard on his face, and pale yellow pupils, which was very fierce. This Li Kui is a Jiangyang thief who Murong Wen took in in his early years, his martial arts are extraordinary and ruthless, and he has helped him solve the difficult things that he can't get on the table over the years.

"You will lead three thousand dead soldiers to attack the governor's mansion, it is best to capture the Gao Xin dog thief alive, if not, kill them on the spot!" Murong Wen said sharply.

"Yes!" Li Kuiweng agreed angrily, shook off his two thick thighs and walked out, his rough and fierce eyes made the hearts of the people around him look awkward.

"Zhao Chi, you are responsible for creating chaos in the city and attracting the defenders in the city! Li Kun, Zhang Song, and Yang Duo, the three of you are responsible for attacking the East City Gate and attracting the troops of the defenders, Wu Qi and Diao Heng ......"

Before Murong Wen's order was finished, he heard a terrible scream from outside the house, and then saw that the door was shattered by a "bump", and Li Kui, who had just gone out, fell to the ground in embarrassment, bleeding from his seven orifices, and his breath was dying, obviously not alive.

Everyone was suddenly startled, and when they looked up, they saw two people standing in the heavy rain outside the door, one in a green shirt and one in black, both of whom looked at everyone indifferently. Everyone felt like falling into an ice cave, their hands and feet were cold and numb, and they forgot to speak for a while. Although they didn't know the man in black, the man in Tsing Yi was no stranger, and Ling Xiaoyun, the captain of Gao Xin's personal guard, appeared here, and the result was ......

"Murong Wen, Lord Governor wanted to let you live, but you are still obsessed and take risks?" Ling Xiaoyun looked coldly at Murong Wen, whose complexion had changed drastically, and the long sword in his right hand was pointed obliquely, and the traces of red blood and rain fell to the ground, slowly fading.

When Murong Wen heard this, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he smiled angrily and said, "How to live? Gao Xin He once gave me a way to live, the winner is the king, the loser is the villain, even if I fight for my life today, I will bite off a piece of meat on him! Someone, kill me! ”

"What nonsense, kill!" Ling Xiaoyun wanted to say something, but Xiao Ling said impatiently, his body turned into a cloud of green smoke, and he rushed into the room in the blink of an eye, the golden moon scimitar was shining, but what it brought was the call of death.

"Alas-" Ling Xiaoyun didn't move, but just watched Xiao Ling dance in the crowd with a somewhat gloomy expression, harvesting one life after another, but he felt a heavy and inexplicable fear in his heart.

The demon's fangs are bare, and the night is destined to be bloody.
