For the four entrances and exits A, B, C, and D, the city wall encloses these four entrances and exits like a fence, and as the news of "Laizhen's soldiers and horses are about to arrive" rushes around the "fence", the intensity of the battle between the Ink Shirt Hall and the Salt Gang begins to soften.

"Boom!"

Xue Manliang's sword and Zhou Shiyang's knife collided again, and then bounced off again, and the two of them each took more than a dozen steps back along the impact.

After stopping the decline, they stopped where they were, and instead of attacking each other as before, they each maintained a distance of a hundred paces along the momentum of the separation of swords, like two tigers facing each other across the river.

The men and horses on both sides also began to repeat the actions of their respective bosses, and one by one the soldiers pushed aside each other's attacks, and they all distanced themselves from each other and reunited near their respective bosses.

There was silence inside the walls, and the two sides were locked into a confrontation.

After a short silence, Xue Manliang suddenly said: "Hall Master, let's stop first, don't let outsiders take advantage, first clean up the brothers who have been killed or wounded, and deal with Laizhen as an outsider first." ”

"Don't pretend to be sanctimonious, Guo Tian is secretly arresting people, don't think I didn't find out!"

Zhou Shiyang scolded and scolded on his mouth, but the action of putting the knife into the sheath in his hand was very sharp, seeing this, Xue Manliang also smiled and inserted the half sword in his hand back into the scabbard.

Looking at Xue Manliang's smile, Zhou Shiyang's heart was even more angry, but the two factions still ceased fighting, and the soldiers on both sides glared at each other while treating the injured robe and collecting the corpses of the dead.

Taking advantage of this gap, Wang Yu and a group of men, women and children fled through the gate of Shencheng.

The city gate shook overhead, Wang Yu felt very happy, when he secretly jumped to leave this place of right and wrong, a Zhou master in brown clothes pointed to Wang Yu's back, and whispered to Xue Manliang: "It's the one in the scarlet coat, who just killed a sword elite sword and shield player in the Ink Shirt Hall." ”

Xue Manliang was noncommittal after hearing this, and asked this Zhou master to go down to rest first, he stroked his beard, and thought: The elite sword and shield players of the Ink Shirt Hall have the foundation of Zhou Shi, and they can kill him quickly, it seems that this person is by no means an ordinary person.

"Could it be...... Is it a spy sent by Laizhen? Laizhen is an emerging force, and he doesn't have a deep background, so he is willing to let Master Zhou do such a dangerous thing?"

For feudal towns, sects, and countries, the word heritage not only refers to culture and military strength, but also refers to the reserves of Zhou divisions, whether it is Zhuxia or foreign lands, Xue Manliang never believes that Laizhen will take risks with the Zhou division that is in short supply.

The Salt Gang came to the east of the city wall, while the Moshan Hall came to the west, and at the junction of forces, each sent some Zhou masters who could maintain a tacit understanding with each other.

About half an hour later, several Laizhen sentinels arrived at the outskirts of Shencheng, circled a few miles from the city wall, and then left.

Zhou Shiyang ordered people to turn the winch set up on the west city wall, and released kites carrying wind chimes one by one, and at the end of each winch, there were two or three Zhou masters with good sense ability who crouched near the rope of the winch to listen.

The kite will not make a sound because of the ordinary wind, even if the sound is bundled due to the abnormal movement of the Qi, only an experienced Zhou master can roughly judge the situation that the sound of the wind chime is intended to convey.

Soon, a large number of flags began to appear in the distance, and the men and horses with bright armor and high morale under the banners gradually emerged in the dust.

Zhou Shiyang took out a monocular clairvoyant, coincidentally, it was written "Laizhen Maker", he pursed his lips, or stretched the clairvoyant, let his eyes go up, looking at the approaching army, he silently counted the number of large and small flags.

The military system of the Jin Dynasty, generally 100 people are the capital, five are battalions, five battalions are the army, and ten armies are the chambers, and the feudal towns of the Jin Kingdom will not jump out of this structure too much.

After watching for a while, Zhou Shiyang put down the clairvoyant mirror and said lightly: "It's about a battalion here, and a little more than 3,000 people have died." ”

The people under his command were taken aback, three or three thousand people were in their early stages!? Our Mo Shirt Hall and the Salt Gang are only more than 2,600 people, and it is impossible to cooperate with each other, how can this be the enemy?

Zhou Shiyang touched the sleeve of his shirt, and unconsciously touched the handle of the knife, always wanted to pull out the knife, but he couldn't lift it, he scratched his ears, and shouted angrily at the few Zhou masters who were squatting next to the winch and operating the kite: "Do you see something famous?"

A few Zhou Shi didn't speak, still lying on the side of the winch, quietly listening to Yun Qi.

The breeze blew through the paper kites in the sky, and also blew the flags of the Lai army.

The big word "Lai" fluttered in the wind, and even the flags with the words "Ye" and "Control Crane" were also full of energy.

A capable young man rode on a red horse, put down the monocular clairhandie in his hand, reined in the horse's head, asked the army to stop and sort out the queue, and asked the general to re-grasp the nearby soldiers who were gradually leaving the team due to the march.

There is no way, even when the heroes of the world are marching, there will be all kinds of problems, not to mention, the soldiers and horses in Laizhen are not considered heroes.

The young man's name is Ye Yuchang, the younger brother of Ye Guangzhou, the deputy general of Laizhen, after hearing the news about the fall of the star, he took advantage of the fact that his brother had not returned west with Luo Shuai, and raised troops to come in order to hunt for treasure, anyway, Shencheng is not far from Binlin City.

Two hundred camels carrying small cannons, under the control of the riders, stood quietly on one side.

Five medium-sized trebuchets were slowly approaching the Lai army, each of which required fifty-two men to serve, more than a thousand bird-slingers blowing the smoking ropes, and four hundred and fifty cavalrymen guarding the two wings.

The crowd of soldiers clenched the long kite in their hands, waiting for the commander's next order, and the young man glanced at the bed crossbow that was being prepared, and looked suspiciously at the several paper kites hanging above the city wall.

Ye Yuchang blinked his eyes and muttered, "What is this?"

Here, Zhou Shiyang on the city wall also blinked a few times and sneered: "This leader seems to be a mediocre talent, and he doesn't know how to shoot down the probe kite after coming for a while." ”

"Hall Master, I almost figured it out, although the bell was vague, I could hear that it was five long and one short, such an army was actually only a dozen Zhou divisions. ”

Zhou Shiyang knocked on the city bricks with a smile, and said with relief: "In the end, the foundation is insufficient, I have two hundred Zhou masters here, it seems that this battle is still fought, well, wait." ”

Zhou Shiyang's smile faded, and he said "wait" a few more times, and finally said: "If you really work hard, if the salt gang can't help, then I will also suffer." ”

"Hall Master, look! A cavalryman has come, holding a flag in his hand. ”

A soldier in white armor approached the city wall alone, holding a large flag with the word "勑" written on it, and Zhou Shiyang knew that this was a messenger.

The messenger walked around the west of the city a few times, but the Salt Gang had no intention of opening the door, so they ran to the east.

"Let him enter the gates on our side. ”

"Yes...... Hall Master, if the Lai army takes advantage of the situation to attack?"

"What's the panic, send the elite sword and shield hand to the door, and then let Master Zhou of Xiaocheng Realm be on standby at any time!"

Zhou Shiyang twisted his wrist and walked down the city wall, shaking his spirits and planning to meet this messenger who came alone for a while.

Wang Yu hid in a big tree on the outskirts of the city and secretly observed, and his eyes, strengthened by Yuan Qi, took a rough look at the temptation between the three parties in the distance.

While thinking to himself through his eyes, Wang Yu said: "Things are getting more and more complicated. ”

He turned his head to look at the sunset on the horizon, and in another hour, night would fall, and it was likely to become a stage for the black eyes to live.

"I have to go back and talk to He Mengdong and Chai Xiaotang about these things first. ”
