Three steps and two steps, sailing up the city tower, Sun Ke and the generals were already in battle. Looking down at the city, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Yuanhang turned his head and asked Sun Kedao, "General, will they attack the city at night?" ”

"It's hard to say, it stands to reason that the enemy army should camp and rest when they come from afar, but a surprise attack is not impossible." Sun Ke replied with a solemn expression, looking into the distance.

Yuan Voyage turned around, slid down the wall and sat down on the ground, and said, "It seems that we will hold out all night, and if the enemy army comes tomorrow, will we not waste our energy." ”

"In any case, don't be careless." Sun Ke looked down at Yuanhang and said, "My lord, go back to your house to rest, I'll be here here." ”

"No need, I'll defend the city with the general." The voyage looked up and accidentally saw the military flag on the city tower, standing still. Suddenly stood up and smiled at Sun Ke: "Haha, they won't attack the city tonight." Because there is no wind. ”

After hearing this, Sun Ke hurriedly looked sideways, and sure enough, the flag did not move at all. His expression was also slightly relaxed, and he said, "Even if there is no wind, you must take strict precautions." ”

"Well, that's exactly what the general said. It is better to withdraw half of the troops, let them rest in place without leaving their clothes, and then exchange them at the same time, so that the soldiers can conserve their strength. Yuanhang made a suggestion to Sun Ke.

"Well, rest only under the city, and not far from the city gates." Sun Ke nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"Then I'll go to rest in the city tower first, and I'll change the general when the time comes." Yuanhang yawned and said a little sleepy.

"Well, my lord go and rest first, and I'll call you if there's something." Sun Ke clenched his fists and said to Yuanhang.

Yuanhang walked into the castle tower and combined the two tables and lay down on them. Although it was a little uncomfortable, it was much better than being outside, and I fell asleep after a while.

In his sleep, Yuanhang dreamed that he was riding a war horse, holding a spear and rushing into the enemy's army, stabbing left and right, killing and injuring several generals of the opponent. Suddenly, a cold arrow hit him in the chest. Yuan Hang was startled and sat up suddenly. Only to find out that it turned out to be a nightmare. Looking out the window, it was already bright, and the secret road was broken, so he hurriedly jumped off the table and ran out.

On the city tower, General Sun Ke was still standing in that position. The wind had already risen, and the flag was flying into the city. Yuanhang stepped forward embarrassedly, sneered, and said, "I'm sorry, General Sun." I slept and couldn't come to replace you. ”

Sun Kezhi smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I'm used to it." I didn't close my eyes for three days and three nights, and I still killed the enemy. ”

Yuanhang stretched out his thumb and praised: "It's amazing, I can't sleep all night." ”

Sun Ke suddenly stretched out his palm to Xiang Yuanhang, and said hurriedly: "My lord, silence." Listen intently.

Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to the outside of the city, but he didn't hear anything.

"Be on alert, the enemy is coming." After listening for a while, Sun Ke suddenly shouted. The soldiers on the walls were immediately put on guard, and the soldiers piled their shields on the battlements one by one.

Yuanhang hurriedly grabbed his helmet from the ground and put it on his head. He was looking down at the city, and felt that someone behind him pulled him. Looking back, it was Ah Jin who handed over a cloth bag and said, "The third young grandmother ordered someone to send two flatbreads." ”

Yuanhang's heart was warm, and he was still thinking about himself in autumn, so he grabbed the flatbread and put it in his arms.

After a while, Yuanhang finally heard a sound in the distance. It was the sound of thousands of troops stepping on the ground, and it also trampled on his heart. Yuanhang felt that his palms were sweaty, Sun Ke looked sideways at Yuanhang's nervous appearance, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "My lord, you go to the city." ”

Yuanhang looked at Sun Ke, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's okay, it'll be fine in a while." After saying that, he let out another sigh.

After a few moments, he saw the enemy army on the top of the castle tower, and the black pressure rushed forward. A mile away from the city, it stopped, and only a dozen horsemen galloped over. After a few turns outside the moat, Lema stopped and looked up at the tower.

"Who is in charge of Yizhou? Come out and answer. One of them raised his head and shouted to the city.

Sun Ke looked at the city, turned his head to look at Yuanhang, Yuanhang made a look, Sun Ke nodded and shouted below: "I am Sun Ke, the garrison of Yizhou, who are you?" ”

The person who came hugged his fists on the horse and said, "It turned out to be General Sun, and I am Feng Qianshan, the garrison of Guzhou." Yizhou is the land guarded by the three princes, but for some reason General Sun led his troops to occupy it, presumably there must be a misunderstanding. ”

Sun Ke looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "General Feng is so interesting, the three princes rebelled and besieged the back hall, and the saint had no choice but to send troops. Why did General Feng still come to question me? ”

"General Sun, there is a misunderstanding in this. When the three princes heard that there was a rebellion in Qianling, they led their troops to go, and the emperor mistakenly thought that the three princes had rebelled, so he sent troops to attack without explanation. The three princes couldn't bear to kill each other so they retreated all the way to Guzhou, and now the three princes came in person and asked General Sun to go out of the city for a while, in order to release the suspicions. ”

Feng Qianshan knew that what he said was almost useless, but he still had to say it to the people around him, just to find a legitimate excuse for the three princes to attack Yizhou.

"The third prince should have come out of the city to greet him, but unfortunately, a few days ago, the land outside the city of Yizhou suddenly sank, Feng Shoubei, you also saw it, we can't get out at all." Yuanhang shouted down from the wall. After speaking, he remembered that he had been negligent, and hurriedly turned around and whispered to Sun Ke: "Immediately let people disassemble the door panel and assemble it to cross the bridge, otherwise we will not be able to send troops to pursue." ”

Sun Ke hurriedly nodded and ordered.

"Who are you?" Feng Qianshan saw a guy wearing plain clothes but only a helmet appearing, so he asked.

"Hehe, I'm the governor of Yizhou, it's better for General Feng to swim into the city with the three princes, and I will be hospitable." Yuanhang said with a smile.

"Bold, where did you come from, an unknown junior, how can you meet the three princes. Quickly open the city to greet you, and you wait to return to the back hall. Otherwise, the prince will be angry and raze Yizhou to the ground. Feng Qianshan was a little angry, and said in an aggravated tone.

After hearing this, Yuanhang was not in a hurry, took out the flatbread from his arms, put it in his mouth and chewed it. He said very disdainfully: "General Feng is so powerful, I will wait for you with a big cake to see how you raze Yizhou to the ground." ”

Feng Qianshan trembled on the horse with the anger of the voyage, pointed at the voyage with a horsewhip in his hand, and said, "You wait, see that I don't kill you with my own hands." After speaking, he looked at Sun Ke and said: "Since the general has listened to the rumors, the general has nothing to say, please go out of the city to fight, and we will see you on the battlefield." ”

"It's not good, it's not good, it's windy outside, and we still have to eat flatbread in the city, so we won't accompany the general, bye." Yuanhang smiled at Feng Qianshan and waved his right arm.

Feng Qianshan glared at Yuanhang fiercely, turned his horse and ran back.

Sailing nervously at the opposite side from the city walls, the enemy ranks began to move slowly forward, not stopping until they were two hundred meters below the city. The first two rows are made up of shieldmen, who are only responsible for protecting the archers behind them, and are not aggressive.

Yuanhang hid behind the battlements, only his head bared and looked down. Asked Sun Kedao: "General, how far can a bow and arrow shoot?" ”

Sun Ke didn't look at the voyage, kept staring down, and replied: "The downwind can reach one hundred and fifty meters, and the headwind should only be about fifty meters." The effective firing range is within a hundred meters. ”

Yuanhang heard a secret scream, miserable. After such a strong wind, you can only be beaten for a while, and you can't shoot people at all.

Sure enough, the enemy troops, after a little reorganization, advanced another hundred meters. Behind the two rows of shieldmen lay a row of barrels, a row of archers dipping their bows and arrows in the barrels, and behind them there were soldiers with torches who lit their bows and arrows. All of a sudden, hundreds of rockets flew out of the string and flew into the city. The voyage shrank a little slower, and felt that his hand was empty, and an arrow with his bread was shot at the wooden window of the tower. The tail of the arrow trembled and buzzed. Yuanhang spread out his hands and looked at it, looked up at the flatbread again, and praised the ten rings! Hurriedly clinging to the city wall, shouting: "Extinguish the fire!" Shield cover, hurry to extinguish the fire. ”

Fortunately, there was not a lot of kerosene on the arrows, and some of them were extinguished as soon as they were poured with water, and some of them needed to be beaten a few more times with something. The first few rounds of the city can still be handled, after all, the water source is prepared. Gradually, I felt that I was powerless, and the water was a little insufficient, so I hurriedly ordered someone to go to the city to get water. Ah Jin stuck to the city trample next to Yuanhang, and had the intention to help extinguish the fire, but Wuying told himself to protect Yuanhang and did not dare to leave. In fact, Yuanhang didn't need protection at all, he kept his back against the wall, lying there on his side and never moving.

After a while, no more arrows came up from under the city. Yuanhang turned his head and looked around, black smoke was rising from the tower, arrows were everywhere, and many soldiers were shot by rockets and fell to the ground. The voyage got up and stretched out half of his head to look down at the city, only to see the enemy army separated, and the soldiers who came out from behind ran over carrying something similar to a bamboo row, and went to the moat to erect and knock it down, and used it as a bridge. Yuanhang understood that this was a temporary tie up of the siege poles. Hurriedly shouted: "Throw the arrows, release the arrows, don't tell them to cross the river." ”

Before the words fell, the arrows under the city flew up, and the frightened voyage hurriedly lay down under the city again. Sun Ke half-squatted behind the city and shouted: "Shield block, give me arrows." ”

For a while, the two sides rained arrows at each other, and a few flew over the head of the voyage, and the sound of arrow feathers breaking through the wind was clearly heard. Lying on the ground, Yuanhang felt that his legs were trembling, and pressed it with his hand, but the tremor was even worse. Fortunately, they resisted the opponent's rockets, and the enemy probably didn't expect that the city would be prepared, and they didn't bring too much kerosene. However, the arrows were well prepared, and thousands of arrows were shot up together, and they have not stopped until now.

Yuanhang was lying on his side under the wall, when suddenly an iron claw flew up, hooked Yuanhang's left arm, and with a force below, he almost took Yuanhang down the city. Ah Jinyan is fast, and with a flick of his hand, he shot out a steel dart, breaking the thick rope tied to the iron claws. Yuanhang's body was grabbed by the one just now, and before he could react, a random arrow from below came straight to Yuanhang's face. Yuanhang didn't see any arrows coming at all, but instinctively had to crouch down. The arrow was shooting at the head of the voyage, where the helmet met the red cherry blossoms. With a 'bang', a powerful momentum brought the voyage down its back. Ah Kim hurriedly bent over and grabbed Yuanhang's ankle and pulled him back under the battlement. Yuanhang's face turned pale with fright, and he said incoherently: "I'm still alive, I'm still alive......"
