At the head of the city, there were screams again and again, and under the head of the city, there was a wail!

Under the gate of the Imperial City City, the intensity of the attack is the greatest, not only to withstand the dense arrow rain of the Xiaowu Army, but also the large siege weapons of the Xiaowu Army are used here, and the boulders fly from time to time overhead, and the wooden stakes issued by the city-breaking crossbow shoot the arrows into thousands of holes, and there is no way to hide from the back. What's worse is that there are thunderbolts that hit the city gate below, with a burst of violent crashing sounds, the city walls are shaking back and forth, in order to prevent the thunderbolt cars from breaking the city gates, the defenders and people on the city can only stand up hard, and smash the rolling logs and rocks down, but at the same time as they throw away the rolling logs and stones, people are also shot into hedgehogs.

The corpses of the forbidden army and the people are stacked together, piled up into a hill, which can be used as arrow stacks, which shows the fierceness of the battle, and the city is still like this, and the losses of the Xiaowu army attacking outside the city are even greater, and the corpses under the city wall have already been spread all over the ground.

"You're not bad, I see that you are pampered on weekdays, but I didn't expect that the real knife is not bad!"

At the head of the city, Long Zexu couldn't stand up, but he still glanced at Yu Wenxuan breathlessly, and at this moment, the contradiction between them seemed to have faded a little.

Yu Wenxuan wiped the blood stains on his body, but no matter how he wiped it, it was difficult to wipe it clean, he had always had a habit of cleanliness, and he naturally hated filthy things.

"Hmph, my Yuwen family has never been weaker than anyone, including ...... Dragon Family! ”

Hearing Long Zexu talking to him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he was still extremely indifferent and arrogant, and at this time he also stopped the movements in his hand, after all, it is not so easy to wipe off the bloodstains, that's it, let's just do it!

Seeing that Yu Wenxuan was still that stinky, Long Zexu frowned slightly, and then stretched out again, at this time, when the family and country were in danger, he didn't bother to worry about Yu Wenxuan.

"How long do you think this imperial capital can be kept?"

Long Zexu was silent for a long time, and finally spoke again, there are some problems that they have to face, especially now in the imperial capital, there is no backbone, Shaowu Heng'an's whereabouts are unknown, this imperial capital, how to defend it.

"Difficult!"

At this time, Yu Wenxuan didn't say anything cold, looking at the Xiaowu army under the city, his eyes were complicated, he couldn't see reinforcements, and there was no one to stand up, at this time they didn't know why they were defending, but they knew that this imperial capital could be held for a day or two at most.

It was a tough battle for both sides. The city defense of the West Hundred Cities is indeed solid, it itself is the capital of a country, the city wall is high and thick, extremely strong, and since Shaowu Hengyong raised the army, Long Zecheng has been strengthening the city defense of the imperial capital, so that the city wall is more than half a length on the original basis, and the city defense weapons such as rolling wood and stones on the city head are even more piled up. Tens of thousands of soldiers, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The siege equipment of the Xiaowu army have arrived in the army, and the large siege weapons such as catapults, city-breaking crossbows, broken crossbows and movable arrow towers have brought great threats to the defenders of the city, and the rushing vehicles that break the city walls and the thunderbolts that break the city gates also bring great pressure to the city defense.

The two sides fought, the arrows flew back and forth, the boulders shuttled in the air, a piece of soldiers fell under the fierce shooting of the arrows, countless soldiers were smashed into meat cakes by the flying boulders, the battlefield shouted and killed, the screams were continuous, the fires were everywhere, the smoke was billowing, the four city walls, everywhere were fighting to the death, not to mention the city, just the corpses piled up in the moat were paved with a whole layer, and the river water was dyed with scarlet blood.

It was a terrible battle in which the enemy lost 1,000 and we lost 800. The Xiaowu army attacked the city from the morning, until late at night, and then to dawn, day and night, the besieging army changed one after another, many corps have already fought three rounds, and the officers and men are exhausted to the extreme.

"Ahem, ahem......"

Just when the two of them were lying behind the arrow stack without any image, a weak voice sounded, Long Zexu's eyes changed, and he immediately stood up, he looked down, and saw two soldiers walking up with a pale face, covered with scars, who is it not his eldest brother Long Zecheng?

"Big Brother ......"

Long Zexu immediately greeted him, now there is no shortage of Long Zecheng in the city, and Long Zecheng is already seriously injured, in Long Zexu's opinion, at this time, his eldest brother should lie in the camp and rest, instead of appearing here.

"Why didn't you come here if you didn't go back to recuperate?"

Before Long Zecheng could speak, Long Zexu supported Long Zecheng, his eyes were worried, and when he saw it, Long Zecheng's wound was not shallow, and he was already strong enough to stand at this time.

"When he comes, the soldiers on the city will be at ease, if I don't kill it in the afternoon, I can't say it, this imperial capital is already broken!"

Yu Wenxuan on the side held the spear in his hand, and also stood up slowly, he didn't look at Long Zecheng, just walked slowly towards the city, grievances and hatreds, he was very clear, except for guarding a common imperial capital, there was no common language between them.

I have to say that although Yu Wenxuan is young, his vision is extremely vicious, and he is not bad at using soldiers, he sees it very clearly, in the past few days, Long Zecheng's performance in Dijing is well known, at this moment, if Long Zecheng falls, then Dijing City also means that it has fallen.

In the afternoon, Yue Hu just said that Long Zecheng was dead, and the Great Xia Forbidden Army at the head of the city was already in chaos, although it was breaking the strong attack of the Xiaowu Army at this time, but the morale was still a little low, because until now, they still hadn't seen Long Zecheng's figure.

"Xiao Xuan, you ......"

Seeing Yu Wenxuan coming, Long Zecheng's face also changed, his face was very embarrassed, but Yu Wenxuan ignored him, and still strode towards the city.

"Big Brother ......"

"Follow me around the city!"

Seeing Yu Wenxuan walking away, Long Zecheng's mouth trembled, but after all, he still didn't make a sound, just glanced at Long Zexu and smiled slightly bitterly.

"Brothers, Lao Tzu, back!"

Long Zecheng was wearing a suit of armor, let out a long breath, and then shouted loudly.

"It's General Dragon!"

"General Long is back!"

There was a cheer and shouting on the city wall, and all the forbidden troops were overjoyed, but they startled the Xiaowu army under the city.

Long Zexu stood beside Long Zecheng, seeing that although Long Zecheng was fighting his spirit, his face was as pale as paper, and sweat was flowing down his forehead.

He couldn't bear it in his heart, and after Long Zecheng finished speaking, he quietly supported Long Zecheng's ribs, supported his body, and then pulled him to sit down against the city tower.

At this moment, it is getting late, standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, the camp of the Xiaowu army is endless, and the lights are bright!

Moreover, the Xiaowu army dug a deep trench outside the camp, the camp was densely and tightly, and a large number of timber was cut down, the camp was thick, and hundreds of towers of all sizes were erected! From afar, it looks like a dense fortress stretching over the wilderness!

"There's a long way to go!

The night breeze woke up Long Zexu, who was a little confused, and looked at the tents under the city, but he was a little bitter.

"Huh......"

Suddenly, Long Zecheng raised his head and saw the starry lanterns in the sky, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, it was really strange, how could this lantern fly in the sky.

"Come on, shoot down with me!"

Long Zecheng finally felt that something was wrong, so he immediately glanced at the soldiers beside him and shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

Before he could finish speaking, an arrow rushed into the sky, shooting one of them down.

"General, look!"

A soldier quickly brought the lantern to Long Zecheng's side, Long Zecheng frowned, and motioned to Long Zexu to pick it open with the knife in his hand, only to see that there was a note inside, which was writing some content of persuasion and intimidation.

"Hmph, Piff!"

Seeing the words above, Long Zecheng's face was very ugly, the content on it was very simple, one was the death of the prince in the summer, and the other was the death of the prince, and the leader outside the city was the former prince, how could this content not make Long Zecheng worry, now seeing that the people in the imperial capital were panicking, this lantern in the sky immediately made Long Zecheng's heart sink.

In the middle of the imperial capital, a quiet courtyard.

Lin Teng couldn't sleep for a long time, the former prince appeared outside the city, this news really shocked him, he has lived for most of his life, and he is also quite sensitive to some storms, he knows what it means for Shaowu Hengyong to appear outside the imperial capital at this moment, perhaps, this imperial capital, is really going to change.

"Who!"

As soon as the oil lamp in the study was lit, he saw a man in black quietly beside the desk, faintly, with only one back, which looked particularly deep.

"Who!"

Seeing the man in black, Lin Teng's heart suddenly sudden, and then his pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but take half a step back.

"Huh"

The man in black leaned forward slightly, revealing a black dragon pattern jade plaque in his hand. Lin Teng stared at it for a long time, and finally he thought about it, and his face changed suddenly, but after all, he was a person who had been through the storm for a long time, and then quickly returned to normal, and smiled at the man in black: "It's inconvenient to talk here, please come with me!" ”

The man in black nodded and entered the secret room!

In Lin Teng's secret room dedicated to confidential deliberations, the decoration is luxurious and exquisite, but like its owner, it is slightly tacky in luxury!

The man in black took out a letter from his bosom and said straight to the point: "Lord Lin, this is Yan Gongdao, Lord Yan's letter, this is the prince...... A letter from His Highness! ”

He bit the "prince" two by two very hard, obviously saying very clearly, this "prince" is not Shaowu Hengan, then it must be Shaowu Hengyong, the prince outside the city.

Lin Teng was shocked when he heard this, two cold lights flashed in his shrewd and cunning mouse eyes, and he smiled: "Oh, I didn't expect you to be His Royal Highness the Prince, but I didn't expect it!" But you're so straight to the point, aren't you afraid that I'll turn my face and be ruthless and arrest you? ”

The man in black moved slightly, and didn't seem to make much movement, but Lin Teng felt a chill in his heart, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and after a while, the man retracted his gaze, and then said in a low voice: "You don't dare, first, I'm in front of you, you have to know, I kill you, I only need to move my hand slightly; Second, you can't be reluctant, Lord Lin must know better than me, this imperial capital, there is no hope, it can't be held at all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enters the city to be the emperor, it's just a moment's work, if Lord Lin wants to die like this, hehe? ”

He didn't say anything more, just the murderous intent hidden in his smile, which suddenly made Lin Teng's eyes full of worry and fear, he has lived for sixty or seventy years, he doesn't want to die under the knife, he still wants to live a few more years, he still wants to die on the warm bed, he still has a few young concubines, and he still has a lot of things to do......

Lin Teng was a little frightened by the man in black, he knew that what the man said was the truth, but it was still difficult for him to make a decision, but he had not lived in vain for so many years, and it didn't take long for him to come back from his daze, and said with a wicked smile: "Okay then!" What is the matter with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looking for me? ”

The man in black didn't say anything, just stretched out a bony hand, pointed to the two letters on the table, and said in a low voice: "Everything is inside, Lord Lin knows it at a glance, so I don't need to say more!" ”

Lin Teng's eyes narrowed into a thin slit when he heard this, and he looked at the letter on the table that was sealed with fire paint, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, he knew that when he opened this letter, he would inevitably embark on an opposing path with the people and soldiers in the city.

He swallowed his saliva and said slowly: "In this way, can you let the old man think about it, after all, this is not an easy task, the old man's net worth and life are tied to the old man alone, it doesn't matter to me, it's just that I still have the only son who can't make it......"

"Hehe, Lord Lin is so self-conscious, I will come again tomorrow, you have lived for so many years, you should know that the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come again, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince breaks the imperial capital...... Hehe......"

The man in black didn't force Lin Teng, just a moment of effort, he was no longer there, only Lin Teng was alone, sitting in front of the table, beads of sweat rolling, as if he was exhausted.

Sleepless, there is never only Lin Teng, if there is a person who is more entangled than Lin Teng, then, it must be Yan Shaobing, he is facing a huge choice, a choice that may change the Yan family, on his bookcase, there are two letters, the same two letters, but from different places.

There was another person, who had never slept peacefully, and even his eyes were a little blood-red, and the man was riding a fast horse, his heart was in chaos, and he hurriedly left the Qingshi Fang and walked in the direction of Yanfu.

He also received a letter, but he only received one, and the person who wrote the letter shocked him greatly, such a thing, the only person he could say was Yan Shaobing.

"Driving ......"

…… The angry horses in the city galloped to help, but the Yan Mansion was getting closer and closer.

"Alas!"

Yan Shaobing's eyes were extremely complicated, his eyes were shining with cyan flames, the letter in front of him had turned into ashes, but the remaining one was still kept, with a few words written on it-Shaowu Heng'an's handwriting!

"Your Highness, retire the troops, the soldiers are really ......"

In the big tent outside the city, Shaowu Hengyong rubbed a sharp blade under the lamp, the blade was extremely sharp, and the blade was also extremely gorgeous, which looked extraordinary.

He was indifferent, he didn't seem to hear Yue Hu's words, in fact, he really didn't want to hear it, he had a faint premonition in his heart, this imperial capital was just a day or two of hard work.

"Go down, tomorrow, you'll see!"

Shaowu Hengyong smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just sighed lightly, and expelled Yue Hu from the big tent.

"Alas......"

There was nothing to say that night, and the next day, the Xiaowu army led by Yue Hu launched a large-scale siege. It seems that the Xiaowu army is as imposing, and when attacking the city, it did not choose the weak point of the enemy's defense, but launched an attack in the east city, where the opponent's defense was the strongest. Before the soldiers charged, the Xiaowu army first used the stone throwing machine and the city-breaking crossbow and the army-breaking crossbow to kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent.

Long Zecheng didn't intend to keep his hands behind, so he ordered his subordinates to fire all the stones and crossbow arrows in the army, and they didn't leave anything behind. He is the commander, and the soldiers below will naturally follow his orders, and will not consider what to do after the boulders and crossbow arrows are used up now?

For a time, the camp of the Xiaowu Army was full of rocks and arrows, and the offensive was fierce, as if it was thundering. The boulder fired by the stone thrower hit the city wall, and the sound was so loud that even the entire Imperial Capital seemed to be trembling, and the crossbow arrows of the city-breaking crossbow were nailed to the city wall from time to time, crackling, causing the screams of the Great Xia Forbidden Army to continue.

Under such a sharp attack, there was no way to keep people on the city, Long Zexu retreated to the city as soon as possible under the escort of the surrounding generals, and the rest of the Great Xia forbidden army and the generals who defended the city also crawled to the city to avoid the attack of the Xiaowu army.

The boulders and crossbow arrows of the Xiaowu army were continuously launched for more than two hours, and finally came to an end.

"General, the enemy phalanx is attacking—"

The Great Xia Forbidden Army on the city tower poked out their heads and screamed at Long Zexu in the city.

Long Zexu wiped the sweat on his head, took a deep breath, cheered up, and said: "All the soldiers of our army, go to the city with the general, even if they die on the battlefield, they will never let the traitors of the Xiaowu army enter the city for half a step!" ”

As he spoke, Long Zexu took the lead and ran towards the city wall. The Lord will be able to rush to the front regardless of life and death, where are the soldiers below who are cowering?

The Great Xia Forbidden Army was in a big array, and they shouted one after another to go up to the city wall again, set up a queue, and waited for the battle. Boom, boom, boom -- looking down at the top of the city, the formation of a small army composed of several corps began to advance in a neat pace, although the speed was not fast, but the array was neat, and the red pressure was overwhelming.

Long Zexu raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Don't release the arrows first, save the arrows, and listen to my orders!" ”

For the Great Xia Forbidden Army, arrows are life, and if there are not enough arrows, the Great Xia Forbidden Army can almost only be slaughtered. Soon, the Xiaowu military array had entered the range of the Great Xia Forbidden Army, but Long Zexu did not give an order, and the Great Xia Forbidden Army did not dare to release arrows privately.

Long Zexu planned to release the arrows when the Xiaowu army was close enough to the imperial capital, so that the arrows could be saved and the enemy army could be killed and injured to the greatest extent, but this was also a helpless move, after all, there were not so many soldiers in the imperial capital.
