In troubled times, etiquette collapses, human life is as cheap as ants, and many conventional rules are no longer applicable. As the helmsman of a wealthy family, he naturally has to stand in line in time to protect the interests of the family and the wealth of his descendants.

Several princes in the north are still fighting, some hidden sects have chosen their own support targets to bet on, and it is said that the Hu tribes on the grassland are involved in the mix, and the situation is complicated, and it will be difficult to see it for a while.

In contrast, the situation in the south is much clearer. Wu Zhence has become the long-awaited hidden dragon, just waiting for the defeat of the imperial army, he can immediately be justified as Wang Jianguo, taking advantage of the situation to sweep the entire south, expanding the army by hundreds of thousands, and occupying a rare first-mover advantage in this showdown against the world.

Of course, they don't know Zhao Yuanjin's real hole cards, so this bet at the expense of blood is destined to have a bad result.

The battle in Xiangyang City lasted until the tenth day.

As the return artillery continued to bombard, the tall and sturdy city wall finally could not withstand it, and there were obvious damage in many areas, and from the telescope, the dendritic cracks on the wall were everywhere and clearly visible, and it was obvious that it would not last long.

Yu Hualong was also aware of this, but there was no way but to mobilize more young people to work hard overnight to repair it, hoping to last as long as possible. When the battle in the land of Huaiyang was over, the victorious imperial army rushed over to relieve the siege.

It's just that with the fall of the two innate martial arts masters, the battle situation began to deteriorate significantly, Qin Feng would not be kind enough to leave the defenders a chance to breathe, attacking day and night, sharpening his own martial arts cultivation while killing and injuring a large number of enemy troops, anyway, he came and went alone like the wind, and no one in the city could help him.

“…… Not again! ”

With the frightened shouts of the soldiers, a long black figure descended in the night, the sword light meandered like a bright lightning, and everywhere it passed, the soldiers on duty died one after another, and many people who were repairing the damage of the city wall threw down their tools and scattered, running in all directions.

Qin Feng didn't pay attention to those ordinary people at all, and walked leisurely with his sword, specializing in killing elite soldiers and middle and low-level officers, and did not let go of scattered crossbowmen and civilian officials.

In a matter of moments, another section of the city wall was emptied.

As the rapid warning gong sounded, a large number of armor soldiers swarmed in the distance, and Qin Feng's figure quietly disappeared into the night.

"Thieves, rebels, bastards who kill a thousand knives......"

The command that couldn't catch up made Cheng Lin angry like thunder, gritting his teeth and scolding incessantly. This kind of extremely aggrieved thing has been staged repeatedly, and he has been played like a monkey by this shameless thief army master for several days in a row, and the three watches in the middle of the night do not stop, and no one can bear it.

No matter how aggressive the battle was, Qin Feng didn't fall into the trap at all, and always held the strategy of one hit and go, giving full play to the speed advantage of the innate martial arts master to the extreme. The number of soldiers killed each time is not too large, and the way of cutting the flesh with this thin knife makes the court defenders slowly lose blood.

By now, as long as Qin Feng, a super saboteur, appeared, the morale of the soldiers on the city wall would collapse immediately, and it would be useless to let the overseers shout and scold and restrain them.

"I just like to see you gnash your teeth at me, but you can't do anything about it!"

Qin Feng thought so in his heart, and continued to harvest his life unhurriedly at his own pace, forcing the defenders of the whole city into the abyss of despair little by little.

"Dashuai, we can't go on like this!"

The strategist Xiao Yin persuaded with an anxious expression: "If that thief continues to act recklessly, it will be difficult for the army in the city to protect the heart, and unforeseen disasters are inevitable." ”

"I know that, but what now?"

Yu Hualong, who looked much haggard, said in a muffled voice, his voice full of resentment and unwillingness. I am also a generation of famous generals, but I was so bullied by a shameless junior, how can I swallow this breath?

The city of Xiangyang was too large, and the number of crossbowmen in the army was limited, so it was impossible to be tightly defended on every section of the wall. If it was evenly distributed, it would not be able to form a sufficient threat to Qin Feng at all, but it would be killed by his key care, increasing the losses in vain. You must know that crossbowmen belong to the technical class, and once there are too many casualties, it is not easy to replenish them.

"For now, there may be only one way to surrender......

Before Xiao Yin finished speaking, he saw that Yu Hualong's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes showed murderous intent, and he hurriedly said: "Of course, it's a fraud!" Try to lure that Zhao Yuanjin into the city, and then kill him with an ambush, and the overall situation can be decided. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Yu Hualong's face softened, and he asked in a deep voice.

The two discussed for a while, and then an envoy was sent out of the city to ask to meet Zhao Yuanjin.

Zhao Yuanjin was puzzled, but he still summoned him.

“…… The marshal of my family is willing to stop the army and surrender the city, just to show his sincerity, and ask the envoy to enter the city in person to accept the surrender and appease the people......" The envoy said such words after meeting.

Zhao Yuanjin frowned slightly, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, and Qin Feng, who had just rushed back next to him, sneered: "The rule of surrender since ancient times is that the loser carries the letter seal document out of the city and presents it to the winning party, why should your master make an exception?" Didn't you ambush the men and horses in the city, ready to besiege and kill them? ”

In the battle of Jingjing in the Ming Dynasty in the main world, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led the army to besiege Jinan City, and Tie Xuan played such a trick of deception, and asked Zhu Di to ride into the city alone to surrender. The strange thing is that this wise and martial Yongle Emperor actually believed it and happily rode into the city, but was almost divided by the thousand pound gate knife that fell at the city gate, and escaped with his life.

"This lord, my marshal does intend to surrender, but you should also show due sincerity, let the Jiedu envoy personally enter the city to surrender, in order to show that he is not guilty of the past for the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the lower officials think that this request is not too much." The envoy said to Qin Feng without humility or arrogance.

Zhao Yuanjin, who came back to his senses, sneered: "You can't be so foolish when you are the handsome?" Yu Hualong is really sincere, let him come in person! Rest assured, Ben Shuai will definitely disdain to play any tricks with him, and let him stay in his original position. ”

In the end, the envoy replied, and Yu Hualong learned that there was no expression in the back, but he ordered the whole army to continue to fight to the death.

However, at this moment, the defenders in the city were already exhausted, and the back artillery bombarded for days, and the damage to several city walls became more and more serious, plus Qin Feng's endless attacks and destruction, it was impossible to prevent it.

Finally, at noon three days later, as more than a dozen huge rocks fell one after another, a section of the scarred city wall finally could not bear it anymore, and collapsed in the smoke and rubble, revealing a gap about ten meters wide.

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the city, and everyone was stunned.

Then Zhao Jun, who was the first to react, suddenly burst out with cheers that resounded through the sky, and without waiting for the main general to give an order, it surged up like a tide and rushed towards the gap like crazy.

Facing Zhao Yuanjin, who was hanging, Xiangyang, which was known as the first male city in the world, was breached after less than a month.
