The moon is dark and the wind is high. Murder and arson days. In the darkest hour of heaven and earth before dawn, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, went and returned, leading an army of 60,000 to advance towards Jinyang City again.

The cold north wind howled across the land, muffling the sound of the Zhou army's march. In the daytime battle, first won and then defeated, a thousand miles of defeat, not only a great shame for Yuwen Yong, but also an unbearable humiliation for tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Although the night was dark and the wind was strong, the soldiers of the Zhou army felt that their blood was hot and their hearts were agitated. They want revenge, they want to set foot on Jinyang, and kill the joy, only in this way can they wash away the shame of the day and regain the glory that belongs to them.

"Stop!"

Yu Wenyong waved his hand to stop the march of the army, and looked at Jinyang City two miles away from a distance. The few torches scattered at the head of the city, under the harshness of the cold wind, seemed to be extinguished at any time. The majestic Jinyang City seemed a little desolate and quiet at this time, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Report!"

At this moment, a black-clothed knight appeared in the night and soon came to Yu Wenyong.

"How's the situation in Jinyang?" Yu Wenyong's expression was solemn, and his voice was very low.

The black-clothed knight knelt down on one knee and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the head of Jinyang City is empty, and the garrison is very lax. ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenyong's face couldn't help but be happy, and he waved his fist vigorously and said, "God really help me, herald-"

"Your Majesty, wait!" Before Yuwen Yong finished speaking, Wei Xiaokuan, who was beside him, interrupted him and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, beware of the enemy's tricks to lure the enemy, we should be careful." After speaking, Wei Xiaokuan asked the black-clothed knight solemnly: "What you have seen here, tell me all the truth!" ”

"Yes!" The black-clothed knight replied seriously: "There are not many Qi troops at the head of Jinyang City, and there is no strict vigilance. The little one smelled the wine from afar, and also heard the conversation of the Qi army at the head of the city, according to them, the Qi lord treated the three armies tonight, and the wine and meat were enough, and even the soldiers on duty in the city were not left behind. ”

"Yes, yes!" Not only Yu Wenyong, but even Wei Xiaokuan, who is old and cautious, can't help but be overjoyed.

"Wei Xiaokuan!

"Wechen is here!"

Yu Wenyong pulled out the saber at his waist with a "choking" sound, and said solemnly: "I will attack with your 30,000 elite soldiers to the north gate of Jinyang, and when the Qi army is attracted to Xicheng by our army, I will attack the city with all my might. ”

"Wechen will not be dishonored!" Wei Xiaokuan looked at Yu Wenyong solemnly, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.

Yuwen Yong wants to break through Jinyang City and destroy the Qi State to restore his majesty and complete his lifelong wish, Wei Xiaokuan wants to break through Jinyang and defeat Xingxing, otherwise, his guilt cannot be cleared up, and only in this way can he be worthy of Yuwen Yong's favor and the trust of tens of millions of people in Dazhou.

"Let's go!"

Yu Wenyong glanced at Wei Xiaokuan deeply, then stopped speaking, and led an army of 30,000 horses towards Jinyang City.

Before coming, Yu Wenyong strictly required all the soldiers under his command, wrapped in cotton cloth, horse bits, and human titles, and the sound made during the march was very small. Xu is the Qi army was too excited and relaxed because of the victory during the day, coupled with the cover of the night, when the Zhou army approached Jinyang City, the Qi army in the city was still the same, staggering, laughing, and not realizing that the enemy was close at hand.

Getting closer, Yu Wenyong could already see the situation in the city. Sure enough, as the scout said, the guard on the city was very lax, and you could faintly see a lot of Qi troops in groups of three or five, drinking around the bonfire, dancing, talking and laughing loudly, so it was not easy and comfortable.

His eyes moved, and through the swaying firelight on the city, Yu Wenyong clearly saw that under the cold city wall, there was a black press, horizontal and vertical, full of dead corpses.

Looking at their brown clothes, looking at the strange and familiar, cold and pale faces full of life, Yu Wenyong's heart couldn't help but twitch, his fists tightened little by little, his teeth clenched, creaked, and the murderous aura in his eyes surged and became more and more intense.

Looking at countless comrades-in-arms lying on the cold ground, the 30,000 Zhou soldiers couldn't help but have red eyes, their breathing was heavy and disordered, and their bodies were surging with murderous intent, and they couldn't help themselves.

Since Yu Wenyong took charge of the Great Zhou four years ago, it was the first time for him to experience such a fiasco, and in one day, there were no less than 20,000 soldiers of the Zhou army who fell under Jinyang City, and this loss was not unusually heavy.

"Happy, Gao Yanzong, today is your death period, I must calm Jinyang, and I will break your corpse into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in my heart!"

Yu Wen Yong's eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, and he shouted frantically in his heart, when he heard the arrogant laughter coming from the wall, the killing intent and anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed, he no longer hesitated, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Warriors of the Great Zhou, I, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, Yu Wenyong, ask you to join me in picking up swords and guns, to defend the majesty and glory of the Great Qi, to rescue the people of Li living in the water and fire, to conquer the whole world!" ”

"Wealth and glory are just around the corner, what are you waiting for? Soldiers, come with me, kill! As he spoke, the sword held high in Yu Wenyong's hand swung forward vigorously and shouted: "Archer cover, sword and shield hand, siege!" ”

"Kill !!"

With Yu Wenyong's movements, the 30,000 Zhou army suddenly boiled, and the shouting and killing sound was like a muffled thunderstorm, shocking the earth, tearing the dark night sky apart in an instant, and also breaking the silence of Jinyang City.

At the same time, the 30,000 Zhou army quickly pressed towards Jinyang City.

Because it was a night attack on Jinyang, Yuwen Yong did not carry large siege equipment, but only temporarily made many ladders and rushing vehicles. While this has reduced their ability to break through cities, their agility has also increased.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Such a huge battle of the Zhou army naturally alarmed the Qi army at the head of the city. When the Qi army on the western city wall saw the fierce and vicious Zhou army surging like a tide under the city, they suddenly lost their voices and exclaimed. How could they have expected that the Zhou army would have the courage to go and return and attack Jinyang City again.

The Qi army at the head of the city used to only care about drinking and having fun, the formation was scattered, and the clothes and armor were not neat, but now the enemy army suddenly attacked, they couldn't help but be in a hurry, the six gods had no master, many people were drunk and hazy, their legs and feet were weak, and the city head was even more chaotic.

Seeing that the city was sparse and the riots were full of troops, Yu Wenyong's heart was hot, and he became more and more confident in the victory of this war. It's just that Yuwen Yong didn't find it, but a section of the city wall within 200 meters near the west gate seemed very calm.

"Catapults, archers!"

"Shoot the arrows, quick!"

"Woohoo!"

The roar of the Qi army on the head of the city, and the rain of arrows and stones poured down from the top of the city. It's just that in the panic, the Qi army's long-range weapons can't form a formation, and the accuracy is extremely poor, and the lethality that can be formed is really unsatisfactory, and it can't stop the momentum of the Zhou army's advance at all.

"Whoosh!"

The Zhou army held back its fire, and at this time, the enemy was in front of him, and the killing intent in his heart completely burst out, and five thousand crossbowmen approached the city wall, and the dense arrows like rain were thrown towards the city. The tremor of the bowstrings in the air, the screeching of arrows, drowned out the sound of the wind.

Screams, screams, one after another, under a round of arrow rain from the Zhou army, countless Qi troops fell down with a scream, and some drunken people were ruthlessly taken by the arrows in a daze.

"Kill all the dogs and set foot in Jinyang City!"

The Zhou army was like a rainbow, and under the cover of the crossbowmen, the sword and shield men quickly rushed to the city and set up the ladder on the wall.

"Boom!"

The giant tree with the thickness of one person in his arms finally slammed into the city gate with the concerted efforts of thirty Zhou soldiers. With a dull loud noise, Jinyang City couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the sand and dust on the city wall suddenly fell down.

"My lord, it's time to make a move, right?" Zhang Shunyi, who was hiding in the arrow tower, watched the Zhou army that flocked to the city like locusts, and asked the happiness around him for instructions.

"Order, release the rocket!" He nodded happily and walked out of the tower first.

With the happy order, more than a thousand people who had already sharpened their knives came out from behind the cover, each with a longbow. More than 1,000 flames burst into pieces, and the city was suddenly as bright as day.

Yu Wenyong saw it clearly, and his heart suddenly sank, but before he could react, the rockets above the city gate poured down.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The rocket landed, and thousands of flames suddenly rose to the sky on the empty ground outside the west gate of Jinyang. The wind fuels the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind. Thousands of flames swept away at a rapid pace, but in an instant, a radius of three hundred meters outside Jinyang City turned into a sea of fire.

Whether it was Yuwen Yong or the Zhou army, they were only rushing to the city for a quick victory, who had ever expected that the Qi army would set fire to the city, and the fire was so big.

"Run! Come on! ”

No matter how elite the Zhou army was, when faced with irresistible forces, Yu Wenyong's orders, wealth and glory were all left behind, and all they wanted was to escape, and they tried their best to escape.

"How so?"

Yu Wenyong stared blankly at the sky-high fire, looking at the soldiers who were struggling and screaming in pain in the raging fire, his mind was blank, his face was extremely pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he muttered to himself.

"Yu Wenyong, my father has been waiting for a long time, you are finally here!" Just when Yu Wenyong was frightened, an extremely clear voice suddenly came from the head of Jinyang City.

Yu Wenyong woke up suddenly, his eyes staring at the tall figure standing high above the city through the firelight.

Glad!

Even if he turned into ashes, Yuwen Yong could recognize it, it was this stinky young man who humiliated the Gao family, made him disgraced and defeated, and even made him almost captured by Gao Yanzong and lost his life.

Yuwen Yong's eyes were about to split, his face was twisted violently, the green tendons on his clenched fists were bursting out, and his eyes were full of endless anger and resentment.

"Yuwen Yong, it's not in vain that my father waited for you all night, 60,000 troops, I want it!" The happy voice was faint, but it was extremely harsh in Yu Wenyong's ears, full of mockery, "Release the arrow!" ”

"Retreat, retreat!"
