As the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate slowly opened, and above the avenue in the city, everything was calm, and dozens of soldiers with lances, looking old and weak, slowly came out of the city, lined up on both sides of the city gate.

Yang Xuanzong laughed secretly in his heart, this Huaizhou sergeant is only old, weak, sick and disabled, even if there is an ambush, can he hurt me? Li Mi is still a scholar, too timid, if he doesn't dare to enter the city, wouldn't it make people laugh, he raised his horsewhip, took the lead, walked on the drawbridge, and was about to enter the city.

But Yang Xuanzong's eyes unintentionally swept around, but suddenly saw a pool of blood on the inside of the suspension bridge, although it has been washed by the water countless times, it is very light, but between the bridge boards of the wooden suspension bridge and on the ground against the shore, the spots of blood in the grass, and the faint bloody gas, but it cannot be concealed, Yang Xuanzong, who has been licking blood all day long and killing countless people, has a natural sensitivity to this bloody taste, and this murder will definitely not exceed half a day!

Yang Xuanzong looked at the moat around him again, the pool was deep and the ditch was wide, and there were shadows floating under the water, in broad daylight, he could see it clearly, it was the sharpened wooden stake, a mainland city like Huaizhou, not to mention the wooden stake, even the moat would not have water, this was obviously a frame ready to fight.

Yang Xuanzong suddenly remembered Li Mi's words, like a basin of cold water, being poured down from his head, his eyes rolled, he smiled, and smiled at Tang Yi at the head of the city: "Tang Thorn History, my marshal has a word first, and the order is that the general must lead the army outside the city, and the vanguard cavalry is not allowed to enter the city, I think, we are not in a hurry for a while, the general is still waiting outside the city." ”

Yang Xuanzong said as he secretly clamped the horse's belly between his legs. That horse was his mount for many years. We have already had a heart-to-heart connection. It also began to slowly retreat.

Tang Yi's face changed, he had already seen Yang Xuanzong's suspicions, and even more saw that Yang Xuanzong was quietly retreating, his heart was in his throat, but the smile on his face was even brighter: "Oh, Second General, you have come from afar, you have to go into the city to rest." We have slaughtered cattle and sheep, prepared delicious barbecue, and prepared dozens of jars of fine wine, the soldiers have worked too hard these days, and there will be a big battle later, so we have to add something, second general, please appreciate your face. ”

Yang Xuanzong had almost moved to the other end of the suspension bridge at this time, and he laughed: "No, no." Tang Thorn History, if you want to be ****. Send someone to send cattle and wine out of the city, the army has just started, what is needed is to raise the army to eliminate the violence, the military discipline is strict, and the autumn has not committed any crimes, so that it can be contrasted with the behavior of the tyrant, so that the fathers and elders from all over the country can enthusiastically join the army, I think I still ......" When he said this, he had moved to the edge of the drawbridge, and the hind legs of the two horses were about to step out of the bridge of the drawbridge.

Tang Yi suddenly shouted loudly: "Pull the suspension bridge quickly, release the arrows, release the arrows, quickly!" Don't let Yang Xuan run away! ”

Before the words fell, suddenly arrows rained down on the city, more than 100 strong bows and crossbows, all of them appeared at the battlements on the city wall, with the bowstring vibrating, the sound of the machine spring hitting, a burst of black pressure of arrows and crossbows, straight to Yang Xuan, who had not completely left the drawbridge.

Yang Xuanzong scolded: "The dog thief really turned back!" He scolded while struggling to kick the horse's belly, the tall horse neighed, jumped hard, and flew backwards from the suspension bridge several feet away, as soon as he left the bridge, Yang Xuanzong stood in the position just now, like the back of a hedgehog, gave birth to dozens of arrows, and the tail of those feathered arrows also shook slightly with the arrow body inserted into the bridge.

Behind Yang Xuanzong, more than a dozen horses flew out, all of them holding riding shields, not caring about blocking themselves, but covering Yang Xuanzong, with the swing of Yang Xuanzong's long lance, like a windmill, the follow-up more than ten bows and arrows, none of them hit his body, until the shield rider stepped forward to cover, he glanced at the city head hatefully, turned the horse back.

The cavalry on one side also raised the bow and arrow hanging in the saddle hook, or the bow and arrow behind their backs, shooting at the city head and the city gate, the bowstring vibrated constantly, and the sound of breaking the air came and went, pitying the dozens of old and weak soldiers who were bait at the city gate, these people were some old and weak people in the city, forcibly recruited for Tang Yi, put on the most old and dilapidated leather armor, and made an appearance at the city gate, at this time the two sides began to shoot at each other, they desperately wanted to run to the city, but how could these old legs run faster than the speed of the bow and arrow?

These family members of the Yang family are all elites who have experienced a hundred battles, and all of them have no missing arrows, and these exposed targets are out-and-out live targets, more than a thousand knights, only three or four hundred arrows are shot at the head of the city, but there are seven or eight hundred arrows that are running towards these old and weak soldiers, and each of them has thirty or forty feather arrows growing behind them, densely packed, and the body is all on the ground, and no one can rush into the city cave.

With the sound of the iron cable noose, the drawbridge was pulled up high and quickly, and the city gate was also heavily closed, the corpses of dozens of veterans were piled up in front of the city gate, blood flowed all over the ground, the city sounded a dense horn, when a large number of sergeants ran back and forth, the sound of boots hitting the ground sounded rhythmically, the city head was suddenly covered with flags, and it seemed that nearly a thousand people rushed to the city head, and everyone was wearing iron armor and carrying bows and crossbows, and they were elite soldiers at a glance.

The pupils in Yang Xuanzong's eyes shrank suddenly, and he scolded: "Okay, this guy Tang Fatzi has been prepared for a long time, hehe, it just so happens that the second master also wants to have fun, the order, the bow and arrow suppression, I want to see if they can shoot our Yang Mansion soldiers!" ”

Riding on the side, purple-faced silver armor, and the majestic sea with long hair fluttering, he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Second general, Tang Yi has such preparations, it seems that he has premeditated, at this time, I am afraid that he has already spread the news of our army to the eastern capital, this Huaizhou has been prepared for war, not a day or two can be captured, our army is cavalry, there is no siege equipment, waste time here to attack the city, I am afraid that it will be a big mistake, according to the end of the general, it is better to notify the marshal first, let him decide, and, that Li Junxian came to report the news, I don't know what intentions are in place, And then Tang Yi's wife and children are also in our hands, maybe they can be used. ”

Yang Xuanzong nodded and said in a low voice: "Okay, General Xiong, you have a point, then please go back and tell the eldest brother about the matter here, I will continue to shoot at the head of the city here and suppress their bows and crossbows, so that even if the eldest brother wants to attack Huaizhou, he doesn't have to suppress it again." Just build siege equipment. (To be continued.) )
