"Boom!"

The second cannon erupted tongues of fire, and the cannonballs slammed into the city walls, and the huge shock wave immediately lifted the dozen soldiers standing on the top of the city into the air.

A cloud of flames enveloped in smoke, and countless stones and debris flew out, and the huge city wall could no longer hold on, and with a wail collapsed a section five or six feet wide.

And the rest of the city wall was also screaming and trembling, as if it only took one more shot to collapse the entire southern wall.

Han Qi gradually recovered from his shock, the expression on his face slowly returned to naturalness, and his gaze at Xu Rui was full of brilliance.

"Is this your real side, decisive killing, interesting......"

Zhang Zuofeng was a square person, and when he saw such a tragic situation, he immediately wanted to stop it, but as soon as he moved, Cao Siyuan beside him grabbed his wrist.

"We threw our heads and spilled blood in front, but what did they do? The wicked have their own wicked grinding, do you want to see their villainous face? ”

Cao Siyuan drank in a low voice.

Zhang Zuofeng was stunned for a moment, shook off his hand and said: "I don't care what they do, but as long as they don't surrender, or the Holy Lord doesn't give an order, they are my Northern Dynasty soldiers, as long as they are still my Northern Dynasty soldiers, the Northern Dynasty's cannon muzzle should not be aimed at them!" ”

After speaking, he came to Xu Rui in a flash, clasped his hands into fists, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and didn't say a word, but anyone could see that he was protesting.

Xu Rui glanced at him and didn't speak, Lin Shaodong next to him opened his mouth and closed it, struggling back and forth several times, and finally opened his mouth worriedly.

"Dashuai, if it is too much, beware of the irreparable situation, there are many people in the court waiting for the opportunity to deal with you."

Xu Rui waved his hand, and the herald behind him immediately blew the horn of "woo", and the artillery position a mile away stopped preparing for shelling.

Without the terrifying sound of cannons, the wailing on the city wall suddenly came, although everyone has long been accustomed to seeing life and death, but this time it was the robe that wailed, and the voice was like a dagger, hitting the hearts of the generals.

Xu Rui didn't seem to hear those wails at all, looked at Zhang Zuofeng expressionlessly, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Integrity is a good thing, but if it makes you pedantic, it will do a lot of bad.

I understand your point of view, you feel that the palms of your hands and the backs of your hands are full of flesh, and even if they want to put us to death, you still feel that they are not guilty of death.

But have you ever thought that things are often bad for these people who wander in the gray area, because this is not a simple exploitation, but to extract the spinal cord of the country, and there is no gray room at all on major issues of right and wrong.

Throughout the ages, how many loyal and good generals have died at the hands of their own people? And how many powerful empires have finally fallen under their own fortresses?

Although the flesh and blood in your body are all part of you, they do not necessarily want you to live a long and healthy life, if you have a tumor in your body but can't bear to tear it out, sooner or later, you will be covered with cancer all over your body and die in pain.

People are like this, so is the country, think about it. ”

This was said bitterly, Zhang Zuofeng was shocked when he heard this, and his originally rock-solid eyes appeared a look of confusion, as if heaven and man were at war in his heart.

At this moment, the angry voice of Zhou Zhifu suddenly came from the city: "Xu Rui Xiaoer, you dare to bombard my city wall with heavenly thunder, you really surrendered to the Southern Dynasty!" ”

Xu Rui glanced at Zhang Zuofeng, flicked the reins in his hand lightly, and the war horse under his crotch immediately jumped out with him and came to the front of the formation alone.

Zhou Zhifu saw a young man standing proudly in front of the formation, although he was not a little timid in the face of thousands of troops, but he was calm and unhurried, quite a general's style, his eyes stared, and he immediately realized that this young man was Xu Rui himself, and subconsciously wanted to take the lead and put the big hat on his head.

However, before he could really speak, he heard Xu Rui say aloud first: "I don't know best in your heart, I didn't come here today to listen to you make up stories, if you say half a word more, I will let you never open your mouth!" ”

As if to make a footnote to Xu Rui's words, as soon as his voice fell, hundreds of cavalry behind him raised their crossbows in unison, and the artillery positions a mile away were even more vigilant.

Governor Zhou's face changed, and those evil words were suddenly stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out anymore.

It was like swallowing a hundred flies, and after holding it for a while, he said calmly: "What do you want?" ”

Xu Rui smiled slightly: "That's right, I know the calculation in your heart, since you want to protect yourself and don't want to work hard for my Dawei, I don't want to embarrass you." But ......"

As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Xu Rui's eyes, and he said sharply: "The Apocalypse Guard swears to defend the Great Wei Foundation to the death, even if he fights to the death, he will fight to the end with those dog thieves of the Southern Dynasty." ”

Xu Rui said this loudly, and the soldiers at the head of the city immediately whispered.

Governor Zhou's face turned pale: "Since Lord Xu is so noble, then you can go to the army of the Southern Dynasty, why do you want to besiege my Bandung City?" ”

Xu Rui said: "I, Tianqiwei, have been fighting with the Southern Dynasty for a long time, and the grain, grass and ordnance have bottomed out, as long as Lord Zhou takes out sixty carts of grain, fifteen carts of ordnance, and other things on my list, Tianqiwei will immediately turn around and leave, and will never break his word." ”

As he spoke, Cao Siyuan raised his repeating crossbow and shot a crossbow arrow tied to the list above the city.

"Impossible!"

Governor Zhou took down the list and glanced at it, his face became even more gloomy: "There are too many things you want, and they are all strategic materials, and they are all given to you, how can I deal with the army of the Southern Dynasty in Bandung City?" ”

Xu Rui shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Since you are determined to keep the Apocalypse Guard out, then how you Bandung City deals with the army of the Southern Dynasty is none of my Tianqiwei's business, I can't miss any of the things I want, otherwise I will order the city wall to be destroyed and come in and get it myself!" ”

"You dare!"

Governor Zhou hurriedly said: "Besieging the city is a major crime of rebellion, you dare to be so blatant?" ”

Xu Rui laughed and said: "You dare to frame me Tianqiwei for surrendering to the Southern Dynasty and not opening the door, why don't I dare to say that you were bewitched by the dark chess trick and secretly surrendered to the Southern Dynasty?" When I come in and chop off your head, can you, a dead man, still run to the Holy One to cry out for injustice?! ”

"You!"

This time it was Governor Zhou's turn to be furious, but what other way did he have than to point at Xu Rui and blow his beard and glare?

"My lord, I heard that this Xu Rui is a subordinate of the Guigu Sect, and he is a senior brother with Wuling of the Southern Dynasty, even if he can't get along in the Northern Kingdom, it's a big deal to run to the Southern Dynasty, I'm afraid he is really not joking."

The master turned pale with fright, and whispered in the ear of Zhou Zhifu to persuade him.

Governor Zhou's face became even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will prepare what you want before sunset!" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "You only have one hour, and when the time comes, I will order the siege of the city and take it myself." ”

"What? With so many things you want, how can you be ready to stop in an hour? ”

Zhou Zhifu was shocked and blurted out.

Xu Rui smiled and said lightly: "This is the time to test the ability of the Zhou Governor's Mansion, this official remembers that material procurement and transfer are also one of the contents of the examination of these magistrates, right?" ”

"You ......"

Zhou Zhifu couldn't catch his breath, but seeing that Xu Rui had already ordered the guards to burn incense and time it, Zhou Zhifu finally didn't dare to waste time with Xu Rui anymore, stomped his feet, and ran under the city wall.

Xu Rui snorted coldly and took the horse's head back to the formation.

At this time, Zhang Zuofeng had returned to his position at some point, and when he saw Xu Rui returning, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Order the whole army to be on strict alert to prevent them from jumping off the wall in a hurry!" ”

"Yes!"

The herald immediately took the order and left.

Xu Rui glanced at Zhang Zuofeng deeply, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said: "The nutrients in the body are not used to supply the growth of tumors, but also to supply other tissues, even if they are terminally ill, at least they can live longer." ”

Zhang Zuofeng hugged Xu Rui and said: "What the Lord said is very profound and very reasonable, but Zuofeng is still difficult to understand for a while, and he will think carefully about it in the future." ”

Xu Rui nodded: "It's rare for you to be so open-minded, don't drill the horns, if you can't figure it out, come to me at any time to discuss." ”

Zhang Zuofeng nodded and stopped talking.

Xu Rui returned to the Chinese army and closed his eyes and waited.

Time passed minute by minute, and the Apocalypse Guard did not relax in the slightest, since Xu Rui said that the siege would start in an hour, then they would never delay for half a moment.

As the time limit of an hour was getting closer and closer, the Apocalypse Guard had already set up an attack formation, and the artillery position was ready, Zhang Zuofeng's head was full of cold sweat.

Finally, when the last pillar of incense was about to be extinguished, the closed gate of Bandung City finally opened, and large cars rushed out, and Zhang Zuofeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
