Fengwei County, outside the city. The armed guard army pressed the border, and the momentum shook the sky.

"Hoplites advance ......!" It is really worthy of the guards, and the heavy armor of the heavy infantry is never lacking. Of course, this also has something to do with Murong Cheng's wealth. Speaking of which, the heavy armor on the Wu Wei Army is still much worse than that of the Xiaoguo Army. Not to mention the plate armor forged by the current Xiaoguo Army, which is strong. Best of all, it's easy to manufacture. For this reason, light armor also began to use light plate armor as standard equipment.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Rows of foot soldiers in heavy scale armor shouted neatly trumpets, stepping on neat steps, surging forward, cold iron armor, heavy shields intertwined into a suffocating wall, towards the Fengwei County Tower unstoppable, only a moment of effort, has advanced to less than a hundred steps away from the city gate.

On the city tower, Zhao Xun's eyes froze, and he shouted: "Release the arrow......"

"Woo Woo ......"

A chaotic sound of breaking the air rang out, and rows of arrows shot down from the towers.

Downstairs in the city.

"Shield!"

The officer of the armed guard gave an order, and the heavy armored foot soldier slammed the heavy shield in his hand to the ground, and suddenly there was a deafening loud noise, and in an instant, a strong shield had been connected together, forming a solid wall, and the arrows that poured down were launched, and in the muffled sound, the big shield was already full of feather arrows, and the heavy armored foot soldiers hiding behind the big shield were unscathed.

"It's thin, but it's still impenetrable. Ballista, shoot! Zhao Xun shouted coldly.

"Tweet ......"

The more than 30 crossbows they carried and those captured from the city suddenly shot out in unison a salvo with crossbows the thickness of a baby's arm. I saw a long black light, with a whistling sound, flying towards the heavy infantry of the Wuwei Army.

"Bang...... Whoa......"

The huge shield was scattered, and two or three soldiers were pierced. This is the role of the crossbow machine, which is extremely lethal. However, the slow firing and the number of shots are the weak points of this sharp weapon.

In the formation of the Armed Guards, Wei Qingyun saw the casualties of the heavy infantry soldiers one after another, with an indifferent expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Order!" Archer...... Sortie! ”

"Brush the ......" herald waved the command flag in his hand twice.

"Archer...... Advance! ”

In an instant, the officers' loud trumpets resounded through the military formation, and the elite archers of the Armed Guards, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly ran forward and lined up behind the shield wall of the heavily armored foot soldiers. With the longbow in hand and the arrow on the string, these battle-hardened and indifferent killers will not hesitate to show their sharpest fangs and mercilessly slaughter a recalcitrant enemy who dares to resist at the slightest command.

"Archer, prepare!" The sword in the hand of the officer of the Armed Guard Army was leisurely raised above the top, and under the scorching gaze of thousands of archers, he slashed twice coldly, and a long and mournful howl sounded instantly, "Let go...... Arrow ......"

Stretching the bow, stretching the string, pointing at the arrow, tearing the hand, the whole set/action is done in one go. In an instant, thousands of sharp wolf tooth feather arrows broke through the air, and a piercing scream roared in the air, swept through the sky, and flew to the head of Fengwei County in an instant, and then poured down like icy killing raindrops.

"Sword and shield soldiers, defense! Archers, dodge! Zhao Xun ordered unhurriedly.

Suddenly, the city walls were also dodging the arrows shot by the archers under the city in an orderly manner. Although it became an arrow flying, the city was also prepared, and besides, after the two-day siege, the defenders of the city, especially the new pawns, also figured out a set of their own ways to deal with it, and they avoided it one after another.

"Hoha......"

"Hoha......"

"Hoha......"

Outside the city, a rhythmic trumpet suddenly sounded in the military formation of the armed guards, Zhao Xun removed his shield, looked out, and suddenly his eyes froze, and his pupils constricted in an instant.

"Siege Tower!" Zhao Xun frowned slightly, this thing is very damaging to the city defense and difficult to defend.

The generals and colonels on the city wall also looked north, only to see the rear of the Wuwei army, ghostly erected siege towers, in the loud and neat sound of the trumpet, the wooden towers were erected higher and higher, and finally pierced the sky.

"They're coming!"

"Swords and shields ready to retreat, archers ready, crossbowmen ready, winding!" Zhao Xun shouted coldly.

Seeing that the soldiers were ready, Zhao Xun shouted coldly: "Sword and shield soldiers squat, crossbowmen, archers, targets, enemy archers, shoot!" ”

"Woo Woo ......"

"Tweet ......"

Outside the city, when the archers of the Wuwei Army were surprised by the Wuwei Army and the siege tower behind them, they suddenly exerted force on the city wall, and the arrows and crossbows were missed, covering the sky in an instant.

The sound of ......arrows and crossbows piercing into the flesh was so clear that when the archers of the Wuwei Army were preparing to counterattack, countless arrows and crossbows had already shot them to the ground, and in an instant, the archers of the Wuwei Army screamed again and again.

The screams continued under the city, and on the city walls, soldiers were also killed and wounded.

"Ah......" The recruit of the Yishanyang Army saw with his own eyes that a soldier beside him was shot through the head by the random arrows under the city, and fell weakly at his feet, and he immediately felt chills and shivered. In the end, as soon as he let go of his hand, he threw down the bow and arrow in his hand, turned around and wanted to leave, he was afraid, he didn't want to stand and fight back in this situation anymore, he wanted to get out of here.

"Poof......" The cold light flashed, and blood splattered. The new pawn who was about to flee was killed on the spot, and his panicked eyes were not closed.

Zhao Xun coldly glanced at the people around him, and shouted: "Those who do not obey military orders and dare to leave the battle position at will will be killed!" Remember, even if it is death, we have to die worthwhile, at the very least, for the sake of the loved ones behind us. ”

"Treat this person as a battlefield die, and give a bereavement pension afterwards. I don't want my subordinates to die at the hands of my own military judges, and as a sergeant, I should fight to the death for my country and my family. ”

In the formation of the Wuwei Army, seeing that more than half of the more than 3,000 archers were lost, Wei Qingyun's face turned cold, and he scolded secretly: "Stupid pig! Then he ordered in a deep voice: "Order, the archers retreat, the siege towers attack, prepare to capture the city......"

"Hoha......"

The agitated sound of war drums and loud trumpets gradually subsided, but the blood-boiling sound of trumpets sounded again. Zhao Xun and the officers under his command looked up and saw that the dozen or so towering siege towers were already close in front of them. The height of the siege tower is more than a few meters higher than the wall of Fengwei County, and the four walls are nailed with hard wooden planks. The surface was covered with cowhide, and ropes were pulled down from the wooden towers, and on each rope were strings of soldiers, and many more soldiers gathered behind the siege towers and pushed forward, and with each step these men raised their heads and let out a loud sound, and the towering siege towers moved unstoppably several feet.

More than a dozen towering siege towers slid unstoppably forward, getting closer and closer to the Fengwei County Tower.

"Archers, crossbows! Shoot! Zhao Xun coldly ordered.

Nearly a thousand archers continued to shoot at the dozen or so slowly approaching siege towers, but they could not stop the advance of the siege towers. Under the siege tower, there is a huge shield to hide the people behind it, and the arrows cannot penetrate. Only crossbow arrows were able to bring an effective attack to these siege towers, causing the elite soldiers of the Guards hiding behind them to be shot.

Finally, with an unusually loud trumpet, the siege tower came to an abrupt halt as it slowly advanced, and at this time it was only a few feet away from the city wall.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Without warning, the front edge of more than a dozen siege towers suddenly toppled down and slammed over the city, forming a series of suspended suspension bridges in an instant, one end of which was attached to the city wall and the other end of which were connected to the towering siege towers.

"Kill! Kill! Kill ......"

In the deafening shout, the elite of the Wuwei Army, which had long been hidden in the siege tower, surged out, these Wuwei soldiers were all wearing heavy armor, holding heavy machetes, like a giant beast in iron armor, swept across the suspended suspension bridge, and crashed into the intercepted Shanyang sergeant stroke, like a dozen sharp boning steel knives, lightly cutting through the dense defenders on the head of the city.

The unprepared Shanyang army was caught off guard by the Wuwei army, and when they came to their senses, more than a dozen elite Wuwei army squads had already killed the city, and, even more terrifyingly, more and more Wuwei soldiers were flocking to the wooden tower and the suspension bridge erected in the air...... The ladder also began to lean towards the head of the city, and became, and there were already many soldiers crowded under the city gate, waiting for the city gate to open.

"What are you still stunned about, fight back, if the Wuwei Army breaks the city, not only you, but also your family, will also suffer." Seeing that many recruits were stunned at this siege tower, the officer shouted angrily.

Due to the large number of recruits in the Shanyang army, more and more Shanyang soldiers fell in a pool of blood wailing, according to this situation, it will not be long before the Shanyang army at the head of the city will be suppressed, and even because of the enemy's reinforcements, the guide zhì will be scattered.

"Brothers, cut off these damned guards! Otherwise, everyone will have to die, and none of them will survive......"

"Fight! Spelled ......"

"Rather than being exploited under the armed guards, it is better to fight to the death and hold on, and we can continue to reduce and reduce taxes, otherwise we will ......"

When the morale of the Shanyang soldiers, whose morale had plummeted because of the fierceness of the Wuwei Army, was a little overwhelmed and their will to resist was about to collapse, a wave of slogans was shouted. Subsequently, several fierce Shanyang soldiers intercepted the elite of the more than a dozen armed guards and fought for their lives, and the tragic sound of killing resounded in the sky in an instant, and the swords and swords splashed with blood.

These people are as determined as the elite of the Wuwei Army, bloodthirsty as life, and most of them use the tactics of fighting for their lives, not hesitating to counteract with their lives, just seeking to kill the enemy with one sword!

"What is this?" Zhao Xun doesn't know much about these people, but these people are really tough.

Lu Yu said in a deep voice; "They are all prisoners who have committed the death penalty, and after I broke the city, I originally planned to let them go, but when I checked later, these people still had human lives in their hands, so I didn't dare to release them lightly, so as not to cause any disaster to the people. But when I saw that they were all strong, I suggested that they join the army, which can be regarded as washing away the mistakes they have made. ”

"Archers, crossbowmen, shoot at the bridge in front of the tower. Let the sword and shield soldiers prepare fire oil, pour it on me later, and burn them to death, do you really think we are not prepared at all? Guan Lin said angrily. Guan Lin was shot in the arm by a stray arrow flying up from the city, making him angry and eager to jump off the city and fight to the death with the enemy below.

In fact, before the Shanyang Army and Fengwei County did not have war horses, not enough food, fire oil, arrows and other things, but some of them were obtained from the booty, and some of them were transported from Jizhou. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want the Xiaoguo Army to be involved in the south now, he was afraid that the earth-shaking thunder would appear.

"Boom Boom ......" and "Tweet Tweet ......" arrows and crossbows shot diagonally towards the Wuwei soldiers on more than a dozen bridges, no matter how elite they were, it was difficult to block the attacks from all directions. Not to mention that there is also a Zhao Xun, who can kill more than two people per arrow on average, or kill the most fierce enemy soldiers.

"Ropes! Pull me over! Seeing that the soldiers were ready, Zhao Xun ordered sharply.

"Throw ......," Lu Yu, who was in charge of the matter, ordered in a deep voice.

Dozens of them flew out in unison, set on the top of the siege tower, or threw them again. Soon, on top of each siege tower, dozens of ropes the thickness of an arm were lassoed.

"Damn, pull me and get them down!"

"Pull ...... One, two, ......"

"One, two, ......"

On each rope, like ants, dozens of Shanyang soldiers were strung together. Under the neat slogan of the officers, a dozen ropes corresponding to each siege tower worked in unison. Under the vigorous pull of Mrs. Shanyang Army, the siege tower of the Wuwei Army has been tilted strictly. And the siege tower is connected to the suspension bridge at the head of the city, and the soldiers of the Wuwei Army and the Shanyang Army are still fighting for their lives.

"Quack quack...... Bang! ”

In the continuous crunching sound, the huge siege towers slowly toppled one after another, and finally with a loud bang, they fell to the ground with a bang, and fell apart into broken wooden slabs flying in the sky. Every time the siege tower collapses, it will also crush dozens of soldiers and civilians who could not escape from the ground guards.

"Haha...... Poured! Their siege towers have fallen! The soldiers cheered.

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, there are ladders outside the city and those enemy soldiers waiting to break the city, brothers, kill!"

"Fire oil...... Pour the oil ......"

"Rolling wood, stones, smash for Lao Tzu, smash ...... hard"

"Rockets, rocket launchers, ignition, ......"

"Whew!"

Rockets were shot down from the top of the city, and the flames of the arrows ignited the fire oil pouring down from the city, and the entire foot of the city wall instantly became a sea of fire, and the hundreds of soldiers of the armed guards who could not dodge under the cloud ladder and at the gate of the city were immediately buried in the flames. Soon, the surrounding ladders and military guards were also engulfed in flames.

"Fuck!" Seeing that the more than ten siege towers that he had finally obtained were destroyed by the Shanyang army in the city one by one without any effect, and the cloud ladder was also burned, Wei Qingyun's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but curse secretly.

"Order, withdraw the troops!" The morale of the soldiers has been lost, and the siege equipment has been destroyed, Wei Qingyun no longer forcibly attacked the city, and did not care at all about what he said before the siege of the city, and directly ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

"Woo woo woo ......"

With the sound of a low, desolate horn, the soldiers of the Wuwei Army, who were crowded under the city of Fengwei County, began to slowly retreat, retreating beyond the range of the archers of the Shanyang Army above the city wall to regroup. At the same time, pick up those robes who were injured but not dead and take them away one by one. And the soldiers in the city, under Zhao Xun's military order, did not shoot with crossbow arrows.

"It's worth learning from!" Looking at the figures supporting each other when the Wuwei Army retreated, Zhao Xun said slowly.

"Whew...... Victory! I don't know who it is, but suddenly I shouted.

"Whoa...... Victorious......"

After the battle, the soldiers of Sanyo also howled one after another, trying their best to vent their joy at victory and the joy of the rest of their lives after the disaster. Especially those recruits who have just joined the team, after experiencing the war, can quickly grow into real elite soldiers.

"Bastard, let you be happy for the time being, sooner or later break through the city!" Looking at the cheering city with a cold face, Wei Qingyun said coldly.

"Order, the whole army will return to the camp to rest, and send people to collect the corpses outside the city!"

"How's the result? What about the losses? ”

"More than 3,300 Wuwei soldiers were killed, more than 1,700 were killed and more than 300 were seriously wounded. Minor injuries, countless. Lu Yu said in a deep voice.

"It's okay, this shows that you and Guan Lin have been acting well for more than ten days. By the way, the bereavement pension must be paid to the family members of each soldier. The families of the dead and the seriously wounded and their families asked them if they would like to leave here, after all, it is difficult to say what will happen here after we are gone. Zhao Xun explained in a deep voice.

"In this way, it is not necessary to move all the families of the recruits, but so many are not willing to go, how can it be?" Zhang Yongxue frowned and said. In the morning, he had already heard what Lu Yu had said, and the people here were not willing to leave.

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, some of our newly recruited soldiers are homeless and unrelated, and some of the soldiers' families are the ones who have left." After all, we give a lot of treatment, we have land to share, and livestock. Of course, this is only a matter of reaching the destination. ”

Zhao Xun couldn't help laughing secretly, this Lu Yu clearly sent out the policy of the Xiaoguo Army as a reward.

"Very well, remember, they arrived at the place of residence, settled in the house, and transcribed the household registration of the families of the soldiers. Later...... What if the brothers have a ...... It's good to find your family. Of course, you have your own side to do this work, and all you need to do is to keep a list of the brothers, so that you don't know what the brothers are called. Zhao Xun said slowly.

"My subordinates understand!"
