When Su You made a great wish, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu happened to return with the soldiers who had gone to dinner.

Su You originally planned to let them replace the other half of the people to eat, but many soldiers around him heard him his oath, so how could he be embarrassed to eat before him at this time?

Under the wall, with deafening shouts of killing, the rebels slowly came within range of the catapults.

The difference from yesterday was that the enemy attacking today was clearly not on horseback, they were in small squads of two or three people, each with a large shield; Of course, since the economy of this land in Nanzhong is still equivalent to the Three Kingdoms era in the late Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, their shields are mostly made of wood.

This shield is somewhat different from the rattan armor of the Meng Dynasty, and in fact, this shield is very effective for defending against bows and arrows and catapults.

The rebels' approach at this time was obviously to press under the city walls with crowd tactics and try to break through the city gates

Feeling the momentum of the enemy's courageous advance, Peng Sheng didn't even dare to watch them attack for a moment, and asked Su You anxiously, "Envoy, what should we do?" ”

Su You watched the rebels slowly approaching, and knew that their attack was not the same as yesterday, so he immediately snorted coldly and waved his big hand, "What should I do?" Offensive! ”

After receiving Su You's order to attack, the catapults on the city wall began the first round of attack, and fifty or sixty mud balls flew out; But the rebels under the city had already prepared to protect the stone ball, and after the stone ball flew out, they immediately squatted down, and several people jointly raised a shield like a chopping board to protect their whole body

The first round of stone balls did not receive one-tenth of the effect of yesterday, but only delayed their progress by a few breaths; The rebels, who had escaped the catapult attack on the city walls, finally got up and accelerated towards the city gate under the orders of the officers.

Su You saw the meagre results of the catapults, and immediately ordered, "All the catapults join the battle, and after hitting the mud ball, they will be launched; At the same time, the crossbowmen were ready to shoot, and those who poured hot oil and rolling wood and stones were also ready to fight"

As soon as Su You's words fell, the remaining more than 300 catapults in the city immediately launched the first round of attacks; Then hundreds of mud balls flew over the city like meteors from outside the sky, and smashed them beyond the city walls.

The rebels didn't seem to expect that Su Youhui had prepared so many catapults, although they stopped in time to protect themselves with their shields, they couldn't stand the mud balls and smashed them one after another on the shield that was not too strong.

In this raid, no less than 100 people were injured, but not many were really in danger of their lives.

Fortunately, the ensuing attack was not as regular as the showers, so the rebels' attack slowed down significantly.

When they rushed into range of the Great Sui Bow and Crossbow, the six hundred guards of Su You, commanded by Zhang Long, finally began their first killing.

Su You's guards were originally selected by thousands of people, and their bows and crossbows were excellent; At this time, they condescendingly launched a sneak attack on the rebels who were still preparing for the mud balls that would fly at any time, and the rebels suddenly felt unprecedented pressure.

At a loss, hundreds of rebels fell in an instant.

Under the lesson of death, the movement speed of the rebels slowed down again, and by this time the catapult had already attacked five or six rounds, and Su You's guards had also shot out of two boxes of arrows.

After more than 2,000 dead and wounded, the rebels outside the city walls finally reached the gates; Then, the earth-shattering drums suddenly sounded, and the rebels began the first round of counterattack.

Arrows like locust hair!

Su You stood at the head of the city, and suddenly there was a sharp sound of feather arrows breaking through the air in his ears, and the air seemed to be torn apart at that moment, followed by a sound of 'ping pong', and many soldiers on the city had already been hit by arrows.

"Mr. Protection!" Wang Chao and Ma Han shouted and grabbed a shield, and pushed Peng Sheng beside him into the bunker.

After all, the geographical location of the rebels is at a disadvantage, although there are many people and they are powerful, but the range of their bows and arrows is a short board after all, even if they hit the people in the city, they can't wear Lu Yu at the end of the strong crossbow.

Zhang Long and the guards were still symbolically hiding in the battlements at this time, but the people in the city who were in control of the catapult were not worried at all, but gave them a powerful blow at the right time.

When the rebels attacked, the defense was bound to be weak, and after this round of bombardment, the rebels suffered many more casualties than in the previous rounds.

And when they rushed to the bottom of the city, the defenders at the top of the city could attack them with oil, boulders, and sandalwood.

The armor in front of the city gate was sonorous, noisy and chaotic, and the rebels suddenly turned into a defensive position again.

Seeing that the enemy's arrows no longer flew up to the city, Su You finally stood up again and smiled contemptuously, "Don't dare to attack and don't dare to attack, it's better to go back and find a way, is it interesting to do useless work on a hungry stomach like this?" ”

As if in response to Su You's words, the rebels' rear army was in a commotion, and they all gave way to a passage that could accommodate four or five war horses walking side by side, followed by a large flag from far and near.

On the banner is written the word "paragraph" of Douda.

After the banner, the brothers Duan Ruqi and Duan Ruyu were dressed in military uniforms and rushed forward surrounded by more than ten guards.

Su You looked at the Duan Ruqi brothers under the city with disdain, and thought to himself, "This Ruqi is also quite hard, but is this the rhythm of looking for death?" ”

Duan Ruqi stood outside the range of the bow and crossbow, but the mud ball smashed by the catapult still beckoned to him inexplicably, but fortunately, his guards seemed to be born with divine power, and they could raise the iron shield in their hands with one hand, and easily intercepted the mud ball.

Su You snorted coldly, but Duan Ruqi reined in his horse, raised his hand and pointed at the city wall with a horsewhip and asked, "The person in the city is Su You, the messenger of the Great Sui?" ”

"Don't come to the Great Prime Minister's house!" Su You didn't expect that he wasn't here to boost morale, but he asked about himself, and immediately responded loudly.

As Su You and Duan Ruqi spoke, the catapults on the city wall and in the city immediately stopped, and the rebels under the city also stopped attacking at the same time, and the soldiers all turned their attention to Su You and Duan Ruqi.

Duan Ruqi listened to Su You's greetings about herself, and even wanted to talk about her old feelings with him.

Su You shouted, "My son Su Yunfan was assassinated in the Zhenxi General's Mansion, all kinds of signs point to your Duan family, can Daxiangguo give Su an explanation!" ”

"This is a plan to frame up Guo Ming, the reason why he sent a dead man to assassinate Su Gongzi is nothing more than to achieve his ulterior purpose, you and I are both victims" Duan Ruqi immediately defended loudly under the city, as for Ji Guoming's purpose, of course he would not tell Su You in person.

After all, what Guo Ming did was a bad thing for Duan Ruqi, but it must be a good thing for Su You.

Jian Guoming tried every possible way to take refuge in the Great Sui, didn't this make Su You an official and a knight?

How could Su You not know this, but if this kind of thing is said here, it will obviously not be half beneficial to himself; If the soldiers defending the city knew that their king was bent on taking refuge in the Great Sui, then what city would they still defend?

Looking at Duan Ruqi under the city, Su You asked coldly, "Are you born and died in this city now just to say these words?" ”

"Old thief, look for death!" Peng Sheng heard Duan Ruqi slandering Guoming, but he was furious, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a horned bow on his back, bent the bow and took the arrow, and shot it at him with all his might.

Peng Sheng is short and concise, although he is nearly half a hundred years old, but he has strong arm strength, although this arrow is fierce, but Duan Ruqi is still too far away from the city wall after all, and the feather arrow is already at the end of the strong crossbow when it reaches Duan Ruqi; Duan Ruqi had already swung his horsewhip as he pleased, and swept away the feather arrow with a slight shake.

Peng Sheng fired two more arrows in a row, both of which were easily shot down by Duan Ruqi, and the rebels under the city suddenly burst into a roaring cheer, and laughed at Peng Sheng in the city.

Peng Sheng threw his bow to the ground angrily and said angrily, "Shrink your head and be the eighth king!" ”

Su You looked at Peng Sheng's childish temper at such an age, and couldn't help but persuade in a deep voice, "Peng Shoubei, the overall situation is important, you should step back first!" ”

Su You's voice fell, and suddenly heard the sound of the bowstring breaking the wind, and then more than a dozen feather arrows flew towards the place where he was standing, but it was Duan Ruqi's guards who counterattacked Peng Sheng.

Wang Dynasty Mahan also realized the danger coming, and immediately raised an iron shield to block in front of Su You.

Su You was taken aback by these hurried bows and arrows, and couldn't help but think in his heart, "If Uncle Wang was here, Duan Ruqi wouldn't dare to be so arrogant." ”

Thinking of Uncle Wang at that time, Su You inevitably thought of Princess Biyun, it stands to reason that they should also come to Lincang City in the next few days, if they come, there will be nothing to do with themselves, but isn't he here to increase his prestige?

Su You remembered Zhang Longlai who killed the Great White Shark with an iron anchor on the sea for a while, and immediately ordered him, "Zhang Long, you come to destroy their prestige!" ”

Zhang Long responded, immediately took out the special longbow on his back, and after setting up the arrow, he shouted to the city, "Death to the traitor!" ”

Zhang Long's angry shout exploded on the city wall like spring thunder, and the soldiers on the city wall heard his drink, and immediately thought of covering their ears with their hands.

And when the people of the city heard his voice, it was as if they had met the gods.

Suddenly, the battlefield became extremely quiet, and the focus of both the enemy and us was on Zhang Long.

Zhang Long held his bow and exposed it on the city wall, but the guards of Duan Ruqi who had fought back at Peng Sheng just now did not have the consciousness of sneaking up on him, and they just stared blankly at him at this time.

"Duh" "Duh" "Duh" "Duh"

Three strings sounded, and I saw three long arrows flying out of Zhang Long's hands one after another.

The first arrow was heading towards Duan Ruqi's front door.

Duan Ruqi was shocked, he saw Zhang Long on the city wall like a god, and his shouts were like thunder, but at this time, how could he dare to use a horse whip to block this flying arrow?
