Chapter 138: Strange Soldiers
After repelling another wave of enemy attacks, Zhou Tiezhu came to Xiang Luyang's side and said, "Boss, our Rolling Wood Thunder Stone has been exhausted, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid this city wall will not be able to hold it." β
Xiang Luyang said: "Tell the brothers to hold on a little longer, and our reinforcements will arrive soon." β
Zhou Tiezhu said suspiciously: "Do we still have reinforcements?" β
Xiang Luyang said: "Did I lie to you? β
Hearing Xiang Luyang say this, Zhou Tiezhu suddenly had a bottom in his heart, since he met Xiang Luyang, except for joking, at other times, all of Xiang Luyang's promises have been fulfilled, not almost, but all, without a little discount.
While commanding people to defend the city, Zhou Tiezhu cheered up: "Brothers, after holding on for half an hour, within half an hour, the reinforcements will arrive. β
At this time, Hai Lie, who commanded the siege of the city, was also very anxious, and had been repelled four times in a row, although the brothers were still gritting their teeth and insisting, but the blood and water on the ground had always reminded him that this insistence was at the cost of his life.
Seeing that the besieging soldiers were repulsed again, Hai Lie roared angrily: "Go and see, the siege machinery has arrived, it is so slow, and when they arrive, Lao Tzu's people will be exhausted." β
A minion ran backwards to see how far the siege engines were from here.
At the beginning of the sixth charge, Hai Lie tore off his soaked shirt, waved the sword in his hand, and was about to rush forward, Pang Wanli and others around him, seeing that Hai Lie had begun to play with their lives, they also followed Hai Lie's example and took off their shirts.
Just when they had just rushed out, they suddenly heard someone behind them shouting excitedly: "Look, it's a siege machine, our siege machine is coming!" β
This sound, like a plague, quickly spread among the crowd, and all the siege minions knew that the siege planes on their side had arrived, and they didn't have to be abused, their spring was coming.
There was no time to cheer, Hai Lie said to Liu Wenlong beside him: "You go and pick up the siege machine, directly bring the siege machine to the city, and let them start attacking the city immediately." β
Liu Wenlong agreed, turned the horse's head, and was about to rush in the direction where the siege machine came, but as soon as he turned the horse's head around, he faced a boulder, and flew towards him, abandoning the horse and taking off, and after flashing this fatal blow, before he could see what was going on, the boulder behind him smashed towards this side like raindrops.
Before Hai Lie and the people of the Haisha Gang came out of the joy of the arrival of the siege plane, they ushered in this overwhelming boulder, and for a while, the boulders above and below the city formed a crossfire, and these people of the Haisha Gang were completely stunned.
Hai Lie shouted loudly on the horse: "Go and see what is going on with these bastards, how do their siege planes operate, how do they smash their own people?" β
When Hai Lie was angry, the city gate suddenly opened, Zhou Tiezhu and Shen Aotian attacked again, this time followed by the soldiers of the city defense battalion, but the number of people who came out this time was at least five hundred, if you look carefully, there are not only the soldiers of the city defense battalion here, but also the officials in the yamen and Xiang Luyang's fifty personal guards, and they can't help but be like this, even Gao Biying, Luo Tianwu, Jin Bao, Ma Ke and others are also mixed in.
Seeing Zhou Tiezhu and others going out of the city to meet the enemy again, Hai Lie secretly said in his heart that it was not good, these people would not be stupid enough to go out of the city to meet the enemy when their reinforcements came, which was no different from sending them to death, and now there is only one explanation for this situation, that is, it is not their own reinforcements that come, but Xiang Luyang's reinforcements.
With a wave of the long sword in his hand, Hai Lie shouted loudly: "Everyone stop attacking, all break through to the east gate, don't fall in love, gather outside the east gate." β
Just when Hai Lie commanded people to retreat to the east gate, a group of people suddenly rushed out from behind the siege plane, these people, black clothes and black pants, black curly handkerchiefs covered their heads, although the weapons in their hands were varied, but the attack was orderly.
The spear opened the way, the saber followed, and finally the ghost head knife stepped down, and where it passed, the head of the man rolled, the stump and the broken arm flew wildly, and for a time the shouts and wails covered the thunder in the sky.
The leader of these people is a middle-aged man in his forties, due to the heavy rain, this person's facial features are not very distinct, but the dark green eyes are surprisingly bright, although the ordinary minions of the Haisha Gang do not know this person, but if Hai Lie sees him, he will see who he is at a glance, because this person is also an old opponent of Hai Lie.
He is the owner of Wanghai Tower, Long Feiyu, who is known as the blue-eyed dragon, that is, Long Yunhe's father.
While commanding the killing, Long Feiyu shouted loudly: "Listen to the people of the Haisha Gang, tell SΓΉ Hailie, and say that Long Feiyu has come to settle accounts with him today." β
It turned out that before the war, Xiang Luyang sent Marco to the headquarters of Wanghailou and handed over a letter to Long Feiyu, in the letter, Xiang Luyang told Long Feiyu the news that the Haisha Gang was going to attack Zhoucheng, analyzed the powerful relationship of this battle, and elaborated on the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and finally, he used Haizhongtian as a bargaining chip to let Long Feiyu support him at the right time.
Therefore, Long Feiyu has been secretly observing the progress of the battle in Dengzhou City, three days ago, when he saw that Hai Lie's attack was blocked, Long Feiyu had already decided to send troops, but he had never found the opportunity to send troops.
It wasn't until Huang Junshan sent siege equipment to support Hai Lie again that Long Feiyu knew that his opportunity had come, and he followed the soldiers escorting the siege equipment all the way, and when he was still five miles away from the battlefield, Long Feiyu's people suddenly appeared, and after killing all the soldiers escorted, he came over with siege equipment, and this is the scene just now.
When Zhou Tiezhu rushed to Long Feiyu's side, he hugged Long Feiyu and said: "Long is in charge, our adults are waiting for you in the city, you go to the city first, and we will leave it here." β
Long Feiyu smiled and said: "Since Long is here, it is only a matter of time before he goes to the city, and when Long solves Hai Lie, take Hai Lie's head, and go to see the adult with your brother." β
Zhou Tiezhu said: "The dragon is really bold, then Zhou is not welcome." β
With that, he chased the horse in the direction where Hai Lie had fled.
From the south gate to the east gate, Zhou Tiezhu and Long Feiyu took their respective teams and rushed all the way until they chased all the people of the Haisha Gang out of sight, and then returned to Dengzhou City.
