Qi Yuanyi saw that there were only four or five trebuchets left that he had worked so hard to transport, and he was immediately stunned, he couldn't have imagined that in less than five rounds, thirty or forty level trebuchets would be gone. Obviously, he forgot that this trebuchet was originally the pawn of the Yan Kingdom, and their understanding of this thing was far inferior to that of the Yan army.

"Bastard...... Quickly pull the remaining five families ...... me."

Before the "Boom ......" begging for help was finished, the remaining five were also gone, reduced to pieces.

Stunned, the beggar shouted angrily: "The whole army is attacking the city!" Besiege! ”

Seeing that the Yan army rushed over like crazy, Zhao Xun shook his head secretly, Andong City is definitely not something that these 50,000 soldiers can take, otherwise Zhao Xun will not give up the three acropolises that are only five miles apart and retreat to this city. In addition to the lack of troops, the strength of the city is also an important reason.

Under the order of its king, the soldiers of the Su Mo Yan tribe rushed to the city wall with the sound of endless war drums.

On the ramparts, the soldiers took a breath, and the battle resumed. Bao Muyang smiled coldly and said, "Just because they also want to kill the city wall?" Dream! ”

"Herald! All the brethren went up to the tower and prepared for battle! Zhao Xun snorted coldly.

"The Lord has an order! All the brethren went up to the tower and prepared for battle! ”

"The Lord has an order! All the brethren went up to the tower and prepared for battle! ”

Suddenly, the shouts of the heralds spread from the city walls, and under the city walls, among the corner towers, countless soldiers rushed out and rushed towards the designated place. Suddenly, the city tower was full of people, and the empty city walls were full of Xiaoguo soldiers.

Outside the city walls, countless indigo armies carried ladders and headed north. Some archers also approached the walls in formation.

On the city tower, looking at the approaching soldiers of the Yan Yan, Zhao Xun's eyes froze, and he shouted loudly: "Release the arrows......"

"Woo Woo ......"

A chaotic sound of breaking through the air sounded, and rows of scattered arrows shot down from the tower.

The continuous howls resounded outside the city in an instant, and under the relentless flying fire of the five thousand Xiaoguo Army archers, in the open space outside the city wall, the dense number of soldiers and soldiers of the Devil were suddenly killed and wounded, and only a few rounds of flying fire. Thousands of people were shot and killed, and thousands more were wounded and wailed.

"Shoot the ......"

"Shoot the ......"

On the castle tower, the officers shouted incessantly, and five thousand archers took turns to shoot out until they finished shooting the arrows in their hands.

Seeing that there were many fewer arrows on the city wall, the soldiers immediately erected the ladder one after another, leaned against the city wall, and climbed quickly.

"Pour the oil, pour the oil!"

"Rockets, launch rockets, ......"

"Whew!"

Rockets were shot down from the top of the city, and the flames of the arrows ignited the fallen fire oil in an instant, and the entire foot of the city wall instantly became a sea of fire, and hundreds of soldiers who could not dodge were immediately killed in the flames, and dozens of ladders also ignited a fire.

"Trebuchet, give these bastards a taste of the power of stone bullets, it's time for us to exert our might!" Bao Muyang laughed wildly.

"Tweet ......"

Dozens of shrill voices rang out, dozens of whistling sounds. The generals of the Yan Army, who were watching the battle from a distance outside the city, clearly saw that on the city wall, dozens of trebuchets bounced violently. With a deafening loud bang, huge stones were thrown into the air, tumbling and tumbling towards the archers and soldiers carrying the ladders outside the city, these stones seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye they reached the top of their heads, and then smashed down with a powerful inertia.

"Boom ......"

With a loud bang, dozens of boulders slammed into the ground, and then continued to roll forward, pulling dozens of blood-colored passages on the ground. Countless stumps scattered in all directions, and countless soldiers were killed and wounded by the splattering rubble.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Several rolling stones came with a whistling sound, completely causing the morale of the Arrows outside the city to plummet, and they all avoided this irresistible artifact.

"Herald! Withdrawal! Qi Yuanyi looked at his subordinates and said angrily.

"Woo ......"

With the low, desolate sound of the trumpet, the soldiers and soldiers who were crowded under the city walls swarmed back, and ran backwards under the fierce fire of arrows from the walls......

"Whew......"

On the city wall, a whistling sound suddenly sounded......

"When my black powder comes out, I'll let you go around without eating!" Zhao Xun looked at the camp of the Yan Army in the distance, and said to himself in a cold voice. The current Su Mo Jin Ya Department is fighting with Liaodong in the north and west, so it has sent 70,000 or 80,000 troops to the south, if the Liaodong State and Su Mo Jin Ya Department negotiate well, who knows what the situation will be.

After receiving the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Yan Sect to send troops south at the same time, Zhao Xun began to deploy gunpowder. Gunpowder has three components, and the important thing is the proportion. And Zhao Xun just didn't know the proportion, so he asked the craftsmen in the army to start researching the most reasonable formula. The other Zhao Xun didn't dare to imagine that it was still possible to make some explosive packets. This thing appeared, and it didn't deter the Evil Army?

Shin Capital City.

The capital of Xindu Prefecture is also the only city still in the hands of Feng Meng, the governor of Jizhou. Outside the city, 40,000 Xiaoguo troops surrounded the city gate, and the rest of the counties were under the control of Xiaoguo army. 10,000 Xiaoguo soldiers were stationed in Xinyang City, Changyang City, and Yundu City in the south of Xindu Province to prevent the southern Jizhou army from moving north.

"Dudu, why aren't you in a hurry at all, now we are surrounded by the Xiaoguo army!" Wang Fang looked at Governor Feng Meng, who was still practicing calligraphy, and couldn't help but say urgently.

Feng Meng said: "Come, Wang Fang, see if my calligraphy has improved!" ”

"My Lord Dudu, when is it now, you still ......" Wang Fang couldn't laugh or cry.

"What's the use of being in a hurry? Will being in a hurry allow us to defeat the Xiaoguo army outside the city? ”

"Governor, someone from outside the palace has sent a letter! and this gift box, it seems to be someone from the Xiaoguo Army. A guard appeared in the study and said.

"Show me!"

Feng Meng took the letter, opened it, and suddenly turned pale. Immediately afterwards, he opened the gift box again, and saw a short sword inlaid with these precious stones.

"It's ...... This is the sword of the Sima Hui brothers...... What......" Wang Fang exclaimed, and then stopped again. Sima Wei went north to Youzhou, and now he is being sent with a sword, which means ......

Feng Meng sat down slowly and said to himself: "The old man has five daughters, but no sons. Sima Wei was brought up by me since I was a child, I have always regarded him as my son, and this sword was given to him on the day of his crown, but I did not expect that now I actually sent him to his death with my own hands. As he spoke, Feng Meng's eyes were moist.

"Governor, this ...... Brother Sima was ...... by the Xiaoguo Army"

"Sima Wei's 10,000-strong army was delayed by the Xiaoguo army, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, and nearly 9,000 soldiers surrendered in the whole army, and only 1,000 soldiers were determined to fight to the death. He could have surrendered, he didn't want to insult my reputation, he didn't want to fall into the hands of the Xiaoguo army...... This battle shouldn't have been fought like this......" Feng Meng muttered to himself.

Luoyang, court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have seen it, and the results you want are out! We have become infamous for killing the loyal and good, and instead of rewarding meritorious service, we murder them. You see, the five prefectures of Jizhou were swallowed by the Xiaoguo army again. As you can see, the envoys of the various states have written letters to reduce local taxes. See, what to do? What do you have to say? Emperor Yan sneered in his heart and asked the courtiers.

Zuo Xiang Situ Lei and Qi King Murong Cheng were also taken aback, they didn't expect such a change in Youzhou. The two parties began to work together, agreed on the Youzhou forces, and after expelling the Xiaoguo army, each accounted for half. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the Xiaoguo army, and the army entered the land of Jizhou instead, and also lost the infamy to the imperial court, which was widely spread. At this time, Situ Lei and Murong Cheng's reputations suddenly deteriorated a lot, and many people secretly scolded them for being traitorous ministers behind their backs.

The two of them are not stupid, they now understand that they see the situation in Youzhou too simply, thinking that Zhao Xun will go on an expedition to the east, and Youzhou will have no one in charge. Unexpectedly, this matter was used by the Xiaoguo Army. Now the Xiaoguo army has entered the northern part of Jizhou openly, and even bluntly entered Luoyang to ask the court for an explanation. They understood that they were instigating the turmoil in Youzhou under Zhao Xun's plan, and such a result would only make Zhao Xun and the reputation of the Xiaoguo Army better and better, and when they started doing things, ordinary people would think that they were right.

On the contrary, it made the majesty of the imperial court weaker and weaker, and the influence became weaker and weaker in the governance of the Xiaoguo army in Youzhou and northern Hebei.

Situ Lei and Murong Cheng were even more worried that this Zhao Xunhui had played an exemplary role for the world's feudal officials. The two of them couldn't figure out how things could have come to this.

The bad influence has appeared, Feng Meng, the governor of Jizhou, has begun to be lazy, and the government army in the central and southern parts of Jizhou is no longer going north, it is completely a mansion, and the posture of the five northern mansions I gave you. Speaking of which, this is really not under his control, without the five mansions of the government army, who can he manage?
