In order to be in a hurry, and in order not to run into the Xirong army, Zhong Jiajun simply took the risk, did not take the easy road, but climbed the steep cliff and set up a human ladder to cross the river.

It is also because the rain is not abundant in this season, and the river is not turbulent, that they dare to have the courage to try, if it is the season of abundant rain, they will never dare to challenge the authority of the river even if they take a long detour.

In this way, although the Zhong Jiajun was a little embarrassed, in the end they still rushed ahead of the Xirong army and entered the territory of Dayu.

At this time, the dawn of the day, with a hint of warmth, sprinkled down from behind the clouds, awakening the people of Zhanzhou, and also representing the moment of the handover of the defenders of Zhanzhou.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed sentry stopped moving, and the rest of the people saw this, and they all looked in the direction of him in tacit agreement, and sure enough, the distance was densely crowded, and they could vaguely see the Xijon flag raised high during the period.

"The siege of the army of Xijon—"

The sentry hurriedly beat the war drums, and the other person did not care about the handover, and quickly but methodically lit the fireworks.

Some choking gray-white smoke rose from the sentry tower and floated in the air for a long time, and the professionally trained soldiers saw this, and immediately made preparations for battle, and without saying a word, they gathered in an orderly manner, waiting for the general's order.

The general of the defenders of Zhanzhou is called Lin Rong, who is thirty-two, and is a general who has participated in many battles and slowly rose up, and has actual achievements, but because his background is not obvious, he is not good at franchising, so he was assigned to Zhanzhou, which is relatively bitter and cold in Dayu.

He himself is not a top-notch character, after becoming the general of the Zhanzhou Army garrison, he has no worries about food and clothing, he settled down with peace of mind, and even married a wife and had children here, just wanted to pass his life so smoothly and steadily.

But he didn't want to, the Xirong army actually made a move on Dayu.

He was the first to open the knife in Zhanzhou!

Lin Rong frowned, he didn't even bother to wash his face, so he put on his military armor and hurriedly walked to the front line, while also instructing his subordinates to hurry up and dredge the people.

Every time there is a war, it is always the people who suffer.

Lin Rong sighed in his heart, and after thinking about it, he was still not at ease, so he sent someone to send out the guards in his mansion, walking the streets and alleys to keep an eye on the people, not letting them go out.

So when he went up to the city wall, Zhanzhou was ready for battle.

In fact, generally speaking, there is no need for this, as long as the city gate is closed, let the archers guard the city wall, and then sit in the town yourself.

Because according to the procedure, the Xirong army over there is still on the way, and they must also find a place not far away to set up camp, and then send people to negotiate, and then use weapons if they can't negotiate.

But Lin Rong is a person who thinks too much, and he always feels that since he has made defenses, he will make a set, and it will be foolproof.

Although in his thirty-two years of life, his way of doing things has always been ridiculed for his excessive actions, and he even hung a name of "overthinking" in front of the emperor, but this time, it just saved him, no, it saved the lives of the entire people of Zhanzhou.

No one expected that the Xirong army would not even set up a camp, but ran directly to the city gate, holding several thick pillars and smashing the city gate vigorously, and even omitted the step of negotiation, and turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the Dayu army.

This is not a chance to negotiate at all, and it is very determined to forcibly take Zhanzhou.

Lin Rong only thought for a moment, then let the archers shoot the people who hit the city gate below, and at the same time, the deputy general also arranged for people to resist hard behind the city gate, so that they could not break through the city gate so easily.

However, the Xirong army was also prepared for this, and in the face of the rain of arrows shot by Dayu, they unhurriedly changed a group of shield soldiers to the front line, and those shields stood facing each other tightly and thankfully, protecting the Xirong army inside, and at the same time they advanced little by little, and after a while, they arrived at the gate of the city again.

With the shield guards, those who hit the city gate were more assured and bold.

Not long after the confrontation between the two armies began, Dayu wasted nearly a thousand arrows.

Lin Rong was also a member of the battle with Xirong more than ten years ago, although he was a small soldier at that time, but it was precisely because he was a small soldier that he could more intuitively feel the difference in Xirong's weapons and hardware.

For example, now, with his keen hairstyle, the shield of the Xijon army is much stronger than before.

Although it is normal for weapons to be strengthened after more than ten years, and they themselves have strengthened a lot, but the problem is that Xirong's shield seems to be much more powerful than the top shields in Dayu.

This can be seen from the fact that they have spent nearly a thousand arrows without damaging a single shield.

There are more and more Xirong troops swarming behind, making a noise below, listening carefully, you can still hear them shouting in broken Dayu dialect, "Surrender or kill!" Surrender or kill! ”

Lin Rong was a little anxious, the city gate had already begun to be invincible, and it was crumbling as if the opposite side would break into the door in the next second.

"Have the people who are looking for support from Cangzhou come back?"

The person who was asked smiled bitterly, "General Hui, I sent someone to hurry up at the beginning, but Cangzhou is far away from our side, even if it flies, it is still on the way." ”

Lin Rong understands the truth, but he urgently needs a hope now as his inner confidence.

The defenders of Zhanzhou are only in their early 20,000s, but the Xirong army has more than 40,000 people, and the equipment is better than theirs, so he really has no confidence to withstand this Zhanzhou.

Seeing that the city gate was about to be breached, Lin Rongxin was ruthless, "Vice General Yang, the city gate is not blocked, you take 5,000 people to set up barricades, and I will lead people to guard the city gate, as many as you can kill." ”

Deputy General Yang took the order and ordered the older and younger people in the garrison to set up roadblocks with him, he understood what Lin Rong meant, his team would be the one with the greatest chance of survival, but it was also the last garrison of the Zhanzhou army.

Seeing a small group of people leaving, Lin Rong got off the city wall and ordered people to light a bonfire, "When the city gate is broken, all the archers' arrows will be lit and killed by rockets." ”

"Whoa!" The archers responded in unison.

Lin Rong personally found a lot of dry grass and firewood, and his face was ruthless, "Put all the hay in this corner, if we can't resist their attack, bring them in and set fire to the hay, and fight him to the end, and we can't let these Xijon people invade our land!" ”

"Yes!"

All the soldiers should not hesitate, and move quickly, so that these flammable dry grass and dry firewood tightly block this necessary way into the city.

Everyone was ready and swore to fight the Sijon until the last moment of their lives.

With a loud bang, the city gate was broken down by the Sijon, and these aliens with high noses and wide foreheads rushed in with excited expressions.

Lin Rong raised his weapon, his face full of solemnity.

"Kill!"
