Chapter 214: Dancing on the Stone

Under the shroud of the morning light, all the famous generals from outside the coalition camp gathered in the commander's tent, quietly waiting for the dispatch of Princess Splendid Beauty. Princess Jinxiu, who had studied the topographic map of Hengzhou all night, had red eyes at this moment. At this time, she calmly handed the first arrow to Luo Puhan: "General Luo Puhan, you can take fifty percent of the Bohai siege equipment and 50,000 elite soldiers, fill the moat with toad carts, and attack the city wall with stone-throwing carts, and wait until the city wall is damaged, and then set up a ladder cart to attack the city, and the order must not be mistaken."

"Order!" Luo Puhan said in a loud voice.

Princess Jinxiu picked up two more arrows: "Zhan Xiong, Zhan Hong, you two led 10,000 gold and silver feather teams, and 20,000 infantry around the city to guard the stone throwers and ladder carts, and strictly prevent the Hengzhou cavalry from attacking."

"Order!" Zhan Xiong Zhan Hong said in unison.

Princess Splendid said, "Today, the main attack is on the northern city, and the three cities in the southwest and east also need to exert pressure. The two of you, the chief of Tiefu and the prince of the Bodhisattva, led the elite soldiers of the Black Water Warriors and the elite Uighurs to attack the southern city."

Tie Fuyou frowned, paused, and said, "Order."

The Bodhisattva Prince nodded violently and said, "Order."

Princess Splendid took out an arrow and said, "Where are Bogutai and Zaljie?"

Murwei Mengshi Bogutai and Zaljie walked out of the train together: "The last will be."

"The two of you led 20,000 elite Wei to attack Ximen, maintain the offensive, and do not stop." Princess Splendid Road.

"Order!" The Ergun warriors glanced at each other and said in unison.

Princess Jinxiu raised another arrow, glanced at the Khitan leader Abaojia, and said, "The east gate will be handed over to the chief of Abaojia, please lead 50,000 Khitan warriors to attack Dongcheng."

"Order!" Abaojia was satisfied with the arrow, he was glad that he could attack a gate alone, so that he could watch the battle as he pleased, and let the soldiers of the other clans go to their deaths.

Princess Splendid raised the last arrow and said, "Where is Puaman?"

During the race, Shuangyan Pu Aman walked out of the train and said in a deep voice, "What is the princess's send?"

"You lead the Flame Elite, and all the warriors of the Tunan Team follow the Chief Abaojia to attack the East Gate. The masters of Hengzhou will concentrate at the north gate to fight, and you can use this to break up to the city and open the east gate for the chief of Abaojia." Princess Splendid said in a deep voice.

Pua Man said in a loud voice, "Order."

Princess Jinxiu glanced at Abaojia's suddenly changed face, and a subtle smile appeared on Xiu's face under the green scarf: "Whoever breaks the city first can slaughter Hengzhou City, because this battle is very important, and in the future, if you break through Chang'an, whoever enters Hengzhou first today, he can enter Chang'an City first one day."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces showed a look of excitement. The reason in Abaojia's eyes was even more overwhelmed by the look of greed and murder.

When the generals of the deliberations walked out of the tent, Princess Splendid glanced at Pua Man. Pua Man comprehended, stayed outside the tent door, and when the last general walked out, he quietly walked into the main tent and walked to the front of the handsome case.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, there is no one around now, if you have something to send, please tell me in person." Pua Man said in a deep voice.

Princess Splendid nodded slightly, and said softly, "I have asked the secret agents who have infiltrated Hengzhou, and most of these officers and soldiers who defend the city are recruits who have not fought in battle, and they have no experience in big battles. Today, we are attacking the city with more than 200,000 troops with all our might, which is a thunderous momentum, and we should have taken this city lightly. However, these recruits have been baptized by the siege and bloody battle of the Mantuo Wolf Army, and the Hebei Hussars are in front of them, and Peng Wuwang, who once killed the prince of Mantuo, has been able to defend the city to the death, and even if we can take this city suddenly, the price we will pay will be extremely heavy."

Pu Aman nodded in understanding: "The Tang Dynasty defenders have gone through bloody battles, and the Hebei Hussars have established Weihengzhou, these fait accompli cannot be changed, the princess wants me to rush to the city, kill Peng without hope, destroy the morale of the defenders, and let the coalition soldiers take the city in one fell swoop."

Princess Jinxiu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded with difficulty, and said, "You have also seen that the leaders of the various clans have begun to doubt the strength of our Turkic clan because of the killing of Mantuo. At that time, not to mention the capture of Chang'an City, even the survival of the Turkic people will be unknown. Therefore, this battle is a battle of life and death, and there is no room for sloppiness." When she said this, she suddenly raised her voice slightly, and said, "Come out."

A sound of footsteps came from behind the curtain of the main tent, and the arrow god brother Tie Sickle Tie Lan and three other figures wearing leather armor and felt hats slowly walked to the side of the handsome case.

"Brother Arrow God, Ah Man is already familiar with it," Princess Splendid raised her hand and pointed at the other three masters, and said in a deep voice, "These three are my senior brothers. The second senior brother Shura Ba Ting, the third senior brother Seven Tricks Heart Demon Gu Tengge, and the fourth senior brother Wind Beast Chi Chaxun."

"It turned out to be a disciple of the Heavenly Demon." A hint of excitement rose in Pu Aman's heart, nodded slightly at them, turned his head and asked, "Your Highness Princess, what does this mean?"

A misty sadness appeared in Princess Fairlight's eyes: "The five of them will be at your behest and wait for the opportunity to kill Peng Wuhope. I want him to be bloodied in the city within an hour of the battle."

Seeing that the five most respected masters on the prairie actually became his subordinates, just to kill Peng Wuhope, Pu Aman deeply felt the high hopes that Princess Jinxiu placed on him, and his heart was moved. He knelt down abruptly and said in a deep voice, "Princess, please rest assured, Ah Man guarantees with his life that Peng Wuwang will be the first person to die in battle among the defenders."

"Good!" Princess Splendid Beauty's voice was inexplicably hoarse, she coughed softly, and said, "Go down."

Pua Man arched his hand, led Tie Sickle and Tie Lan and the other five people, and walked out of the tent door like a whirlwind.

The mournful roar of the horn outside the plug sounded one after another in all sides of Hengzhou City, hundreds of thousands of troops were like undulating waves, and the surging tide of Qiantang rushed out of the camp, and on the other side of the moat set up a banner to wav, a majestic array.

The city wall of Hengzhou was overwhelmed by the sharp roar of a wooden wheel rolling, and dozens of huge and bizarre modified thunderbolt carts were pushed under the north wall by nearly a thousand Turkic strong men, and the huge iron plate was filled with hideous-looking and angular boulders. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team lined up in a neat circular formation, closely guarding these dozens of stone-throwing vehicles. Behind the stone-throwing cart is a siege vehicle equipped with wooden wheels that can be advanced quickly, wooden wedges several feet high are raised like rhino horns, and several rows of bamboo ladders are hung obliquely behind the siege vehicle like the mane of a giant lion's head. The soldiers of the ** White Spike Wolf Army with bright armor gathered under the banner of hundreds of white spikes and black phoenixes, and roared and scolded like a landslide towards the head of Hengzhou City. The neat military appearance and the magnificent momentum make people feel that Hengzhou City is like an inconspicuous village under a monstrous flood, and it only takes a wave to completely submerge it.

The 20,000 male soldiers of the Murwei tribe in the west of the city lined up in a scattered formation all over the mountains, and hundreds of ladders were lined up in the center. In front of the formation, there was a cavalry formation of 2,500 people watching the left and right wings, 2,500 strong men holding large blankets to protect the top of their heads, and 1,500 soldiers pushing the shrimp and toad carts ready to fill the moat at any time. Behind the Cloud Ladder Array, there were 10,000 fierce warriors who were half-clad in leather armor and half-naked, with long knives in battle axes and dazzling lights. These warriors waved their blades and let out earth-shattering cries, and rows of sound crashed against the city walls, as if they could shake the low head of the city to pieces.

The large shield scimitar of the black water descent, dressed in bright and dazzling armor, was lined up in a neat phalanx on the moat in the south of the city. More than 20 large stone carts were arranged in a staggered manner, and more than 100 people in each vehicle carried stones to load bullets and manipulate the launch. The Uighur warriors, dressed in green clothes and armour, held high their scimitars, stood under more than 100 shrimp and toad carts, wooden donkey carts, and siege engines, ready to carry earth and fill the river, and rush straight into the city. The Uighur prince Bodhisattva rode through the army, constantly speaking loudly to boost morale, and everywhere he went, his soldiers cheered enthusiastically and vigorously.

The Khitan warriors in the east of the city lined up in dozens of long lines, and the army waited silently under the east wall of the city, and hundreds of Khitan leaders with helmets and armor lined up at the forefront of the formation. Two hundred ladders, guarded by 5,000 strong warriors with shields, were densely packed in front of the moat. These Khitan warriors wore yellow fur and gray jackets, except for the generals, they were not wearing armor, and everyone stared at the head of Hengzhou City, as if they wanted to burn this blood city with a fiery gaze.

The head of the city of Hengzhou was silent, and Peng Wuwang held the Pu knife, standing firmly on top of the north city, silently watching the army under the city. Beside him were Zheng Juechen, Lian Feng, Xiao Liechen and Lei Yechang, who formed a master team with him. The other people didn't say a word, and the formation of hundreds of thousands of male soldiers under the city, even if they had experienced all kinds of dangers and had long regarded life and death as if they were idle, they felt indescribable shock and depression. Mantuo's wolf army offensive has been fierce and unbearable, this time the siege has added countless siege weapons and hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, the fate of the fall of this city is already doomed, it is only a matter of time.

Peng Wuwang looked at the several Tang defenders beside him, their hands holding bows and arrows trembling with an undetectable tremor to the naked eye. There was a pang of compassion in his heart: in the face of the Serbian and foreign coalition forces, even he felt a heavy pressure that was difficult to relieve, and the pressure on these soldiers who had just come to the battle was so great. With my skills, how much can I share for them?

He involuntarily clenched the Pu knife in his hand and exhaled heavily.

At this moment, Fang Mengjing, dressed in a white-clothed showman uniform, suddenly appeared in the city. Seeing her arrival, Lian Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Miss Fang, it's too dangerous here, it's safer for you to go to the Thorn Shi Mansion and wait for news."

Fang Mengjing raised her eyebrows, shook her head and said, "Mengjing naturally didn't dare to show her ugliness on the city wall, but I suddenly thought of a key to defending the city, so I couldn't help but come to the city."

This sentence immediately lifted the spirits of everyone around him, and Peng Wuwang hurriedly asked, "What's the key?"

Fang Mengjing laughed and said, "Because the Cypriot Coalition Army is the union of the Cypriot clans, and they follow the orders of the ** Clan. The heads of the clans only thought that the ** Turkic army was the real overlord, so they willingly obeyed its command. Previously, Brother Peng tried his best to kill the third prince Mantuo, which caused the sudden loss of the master to fall into chaos. I suspect that this has made the Cypriots lose confidence in the **. If my guess is correct, the leaders of the Tatars, Uighurs, Murowe, and Khitans will hesitate to wait and see in this siege. If we can further centrifuge them from the city, maybe the army will have fallen apart before the city is broken."

These words not only greatly increased the confidence of everyone in the master team, but also inspired the Tang officers and soldiers on the side. Lian Feng smiled and stroked his long sideburns and said, "This time, if we can snipe the generals of the armies of all races, especially the generals of the ** Turks, it will make them lose their prestige and aggravate the contradictions among them."

Fang Mengjing smiled and said, "What Gongzi Lian said is good. However, I have another idea, which is that we should first snipe the generals of the other clans, because if they had taken a wait-and-see attitude, they would have been forced to withdraw their troops and horses to preserve their strength. If the Turks are dissatisfied with this, then the internal contradictions of the coalition forces will intensify. If the Turks ignore it and attack the city, we will begin to snipe the Turkic generals and lose their prestige. It may not be possible to tear the coalition apart before the city falls, but there is at least a glimmer of hope."

Peng Wuwang waved his hand excitedly and said, "Miss Fang is full of wisdom, Peng admires it. Well, from now on, if you see someone wearing armor, you will be killed. The snake can't do it without a head, so what's the use of seeing that they have a million men and horses in the coalition army."

Fang Mengjing's eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "The head generals were originally under the strict protection of their own elites, sniping them, it was extremely dangerous, this was originally a way out of the way, if it weren't for the fact that the martial arts of several people had reached the realm of shocking the world, Mengjing would never dare to say this method. I hope you will take care of yourself."

"Miss Fang, don't worry." Peng Wuwang, Lian Feng, Zheng Juechen and several others said in unison. Fang Mengjing glanced at Peng Wuwang, who didn't care, worriedly, sighed, and walked down the city with a slight blessing.

"The whole army obeyed the order and stood guard from the city wall." The commander of the defending city, Sun Yue, gave a loud order. The soldiers of Beicheng retreated five steps back in unison with bows and arrows in hand. Peng Wuwang and the others didn't know what to do, and they also retreated. At this moment, dozens of clanging sounds that exploded the heavens and the earth rang out in all directions, and dozens of huge flying stones rushed far away across the moat and smashed on the city wall. The solid city wall began to tremble violently like autumn trees in the wind, and large pieces of blue bricks flew in all directions, and several soldiers were hit by the indiscriminate stones and fell to the ground with a scream.

"His grandmother's, what a big move!" Even the bold and bold Lei Yechang felt terrified in the face of the attack of more than 100 catties of boulders.

At the moment when everyone's hearts were shaking, Vice General Liu Xiongyi's loud warning voice came into their ears: "Everyone be careful, it's here again." Peng Wuwang and Lei Yechang glanced at each other, snorted at the same time, and approached the city wall together, looking down. I saw dozens of angular hundred-pound stones crossing the moat like clouds, flipped and rolled towards the city wall, and the demonstrators generally showed all the sharp edges and corners of their bodies to the defenders of the city. The sound of the wind from the rolling of the flying stones flickered, like the sound of the netherworld from the bottom of hell.

The defenders of Hengzhou were shocked by the indiscriminate bombardment of the flying stones just now, and everyone's eyes showed a look of fear and worry, their morale was greatly filed, and the city was silent. Li Yu and Master Wei, who were hiding in the corner, glanced at each other and sighed at the same time, the pride of making the mechanical crossbow a moment ago had vanished. "I didn't expect the Turks to bring such sharp stone-throwing tools from the Bohai Kingdom." Li Yu said listlessly. Master Wei closed his lips tightly, not even bothering to speak, just waiting in fear for another round of Flying Stone's attack.

At this moment, Peng Wuwang suddenly let out a thunderous roar and leaped out of the city.

"He's crazy!" Zheng Juechen, who was five steps away, Lian Feng and Xiao Liechen rushed to the battlements of the city wall with a scream, looking out. I saw Peng Wuwang with a hollow head, and he jumped on a huge flying stone accurately, with his feet straight, using the kung fu of Shaolin Jack Fall, and the top of the flying stone was a little heavier, and the boulder that was originally in the shape of a parabola to fly up the city wall suddenly changed direction, and smashed straight down, smashing the ground in front of the city wall into a deep hole. Peng Wuwang made a turn in the air and flew back. Lei Ye stretched out his eyebrow stick sharply, and his left hand stretched out, like a wild goose spreading its wings in the wind, just grabbing the head of the stick. The officers and soldiers who rushed to the city wall because they cared about him were fortunate enough to see this astonishing scene, and immediately let out a deafening cheer like a thunderbolt on the ground, and the morale of the already depressed city was greatly boosted.

Lei Yechang, who fished Peng Wuwang back to the city with a stick, was also very proud in his heart, and let out a long roar excitedly, shook his hand and shook his eyebrows, throwing Peng Wuhope's body far out of the city like throwing a hydrangea, and slammed into another boulder flying sideways. Peng Wuwang smiled bitterly in his heart: Brother Lei really thinks so highly of me, throwing me so far, let me jump back. Now, he didn't have time to think about it, gathered his mind, and rushed to the flying stone with a string of extremely beautiful serial heels in the air. The momentum of the flying stones in the sky was so huge, Peng Wuhope's toes just touched the stone face, and he was knocked back to the city by this momentum, and he lay on the ground on all sides. And because of his block, this boulder gradually went castrate, and fell straight down the city.

Although Peng's image of no hope of returning to the city was quite embarrassing, his feat still attracted unreserved cheers and applause from the officers and soldiers at the head of the city. Those young lads whistled for him until their throats were hoarse, and in their hearts they couldn't help but think that as long as there was Peng Hopeless's existence, Hengzhou City would never fall.

Zheng Juechen saw Peng Hopeless's move, and he couldn't help but have a sense of victory in his heart, he looked back at Xiao Liechen and Lian Feng, but found that these two people had come to the battlements of the city wall. He chuckled, and with a lunge he lunged up the wall, leaping toward an oncoming boulder. Beside him, Xiao Liechen and Lian Feng's white robes fluttered with the whirlwind blowing from the oncoming flying stones. Behind him, an excited shout resounded through the sky.

Luo Puhan, who was sweating profusely, returned from the front of the battle, came to the handsome banner of the Chinese army, turned over and dismounted, bowed deeply to the splendid princess who was sitting on the horse, and said eagerly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the last general requests an immediate siege of the city."

"General Luo Puhan, I think I've made it very clear, when Feishi breaks through the city wall, leading a large army to attack the city can get twice the result with half the effort." Princess Splendid stood tall on her horse and said solemnly.

"The last general asks the princess to come and watch closer, and then make a decision." Luo Puhan's face was confused and confused, and he did not have the perseverance and courage that he had trained for many years to lead the troops.

The Chinese army where Princess Jinxiu is located is about three miles away from the city, and the situation in front of the city is not very clear, hearing the strangeness in Luo Puhan's words, his heart moved, nodded slightly, and turned back to the battle, Bashan River made a look. The three of them followed Luo Puhan to the front of the array of the Golden Feather and Silver Feather teams in the front.

The city wall of Hengzhou was piled up with twenty or thirty huge flying stones, which had fallen to the ground before they touched the city wall, and some of them were broken into three or four pieces, scattered all over the ground. The earth-shattering cheers of the defenders on the city wall resounded in the sky, and several agile and agile figures continued to rise into the sky, flying towards the boulder shot by the stone throwers below the city. Each jump would cause three or five boulders to fall in mid-air in front of the city, causing no damage. Although other flying stones still hit the city and caused serious damage, the morale of the defenders of the city is getting higher and higher, while the morale of the own army is getting lower and lower. The Turkic soldiers who operated the catapults began to make mistakes, and many were injured by the belts of the catapults for no apparent reason. Many flying stones fell into the moat before they could fly to the top of the city. Even the faces of the Iron Cavalry Flying Feather Team showed a look of confusion and shock, and their shouts were dull and hoarse, and they no longer had the sharp momentum they had just started the battle.

"That's ......," Ke Zhan's eyes sharpened at a glance, "That's Peng Wuhope." I don't know the others, but the leader is Peng Wuhope." "The light power of the Han people in the Central Plains can be used so superbly." Bashanhe muttered dizzily. But Zhan was unconvinced and whispered, "What is this, I can do it too." At this point, he hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but wonder if he could do the same earth-shattering feat.

"The Turkic dog breed is as timid as a mouse, and only dares to put stones, but does not dare to get out of the hole." On the city wall, the Tang officers and soldiers shouted and scolded in unison, which made the Turkic army in Beicheng furious. Princess Jinxiu's heart sank: "The shouting and scolding on the head of the city is only aimed at the Turks, and it seems that they are intent on attacking the prestige of the various tribes in the competition, and some people in the defending army have already seen the weakness of the alliance army outside the city."

At this moment, a familiar and heart-shaking sound sounded from the city, and a black-clothed figure seemed to be a flying dragon out of the sky through the clouds, jumping up from the city, head-on towards two boulders, one high and one short. I saw him turn in the air, tense his body, stretched out his feet on the flying rock that was shorter and used a little force, his body rose to the sky, jumped on the upper left of the flying stone that flew higher, and kicked hard, and the boulder immediately flew out diagonally and hit the other boulder that had just flown in the lower left. Three boulders collided in the air and landed in front of the city, shattering into uneven and disorganized pieces. The figure flew back to the city with a twist like a swallow in the air, ushering in a mountain of cheers and cheers.

Looking at the familiar and friendly figure, Princess Splendid was like an electric shock, and she only felt her whole body trembling involuntarily, and her mind was muddy, and she didn't know where she was.

Outside the Lotus Cave, among the flying locusts and arrow feathers, Peng Wuwang anxiously searched for his corpse's scarred figure;

On the Lotus Mountain Road, when Peng Wuwang, who was covered in blood, held his mandarin duck silk scarf tightly, his affectionate gaze was as hot as fire;

On the top of Lotus Mountain, under the moonlight, when the Purple Phoenix Qingluan Sword slashed into the air, Peng Wuwang, who gave up his defense, smiled calmly;

In the Lotus Valley, on the banks of the birds and apes, when he thought that he could keep this life together, Peng had no hope of cheering carelessly;

At the time of the final parting, he turned back several times, and finally waited for the loud mountain song that resounded through the valley.

These chaotic and colorful memories are mixed with countless indescribable emotions like tangled vines, crawling all over my heart in an instant. In an instant, Jinxiu forgot about the battlefield, forgot about Hengzhou, forgot about the Turks, forgot about the grassland, and filled his heart with everything about Peng Wuhope, only his everything. This sinful sweet and sour feeling made her intoxicated, and she only felt the ease of giving up everything empty and leisurely.

"Your Highness the Princess?" "Princess?" Several anxious voices sounded in her ears on all sides, although the sound was not loud, but it was enough to wake her up from her numb-like thoughts, and what caught her eye was the anxious gaze of Ke Zhan, Bashan He, Luo Puhan, Zhan Hong, and Zhan Xiong. The faces of these best generals immediately brought everything about the Turks, about the stopper, and about the steppe back to Jinxiu's heart.

"After all, I still can't give up the motherland that gave birth to me and raised me, just like you can't give up Datang." Jinxiu's sad gaze looked at the distant city of Hengzhou again.

Above the city, the hopeless figure of Peng, who had been leaping like a fly, seemed to have been immobilized by a certain god in the underworld, and stood stiff and helpless at the head of the city, the Pu knife he held in his hand was quietly on the ground, bearing most of the weight of his body. A huge flying stone flew squarely in the direction he stood. Peng's hopeless figure stood like a rock, as if the boulder flying towards him with the sound of the wind was just an image cast by a bird flying overhead. The boulder slammed down on the walls of the city at his side, and then fell to the bottom of the city, the scattered stones striking him mercilessly, and his figure still did not move.

"Did he see me, too?" Jinxiu's heart is a bitter sweetness to the extreme, pain to heart-rending happiness, Delang is like this, what more can the husband ask for.

Tears welled up in her eyes, Princess Jinxiu knew that she could no longer suppress the next choking, she quickly raised her white and slender jade hand, pointed to the head of Hengzhou City, and said quickly: "Siege." When she lowered her head to hide the tears gushing out of her eyes, Princess Jinxiu saw that her snow-white fingers were still pointing straight at Hengzhou, and the direction touched by her fingertips was Peng Wuwang, who was standing at the head of the city.

"Divine wolf bless me, the Turks will win! Kill!" Luo Puhan, the main general of the north gate, came to the front of the formation and shouted orders.

"All siege!" The chief of the Black Water Spirit, Tie Fuyou, and the Uighur prince Bodhisattva drank at the same time.

"Brothers, rush me!" Bogutai's majestic command echoed in the army of Murowei.

"Sons, let me enter Hengzhou!" The eyes of the Khitan leader Abaojia flashed with monstrous blood and greed.

At the same time, the ten gates of Hengzhou sounded the shouts of the soldiers of all ethnic groups in various languages. The neat array of hundreds of thousands of completely heavenly armies began to show fierce fluctuations, as if a long wind was blowing through the increasingly turbulent sea, setting off a raging wave that was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Thousands of shrimp and toad carts rushed to the narrow moat of Hengzhou City in all directions, and large piles of loess sand and gravel were dumped into the moat. There was a loud bang bang on the head of the city, and the overwhelming rain of arrows was like a strong wind blowing through the dense bamboo leaves blown by the bamboo forest, covering the entire moat. Countless corpses of warriors of all races were piled up high on the banks of the moat, and the toad carts, which had been scattered by the rampant rain of arrows, lay scattered in the river, and the water of the moat turned completely bloody in a few hundred breaths. Braving the rain of arrows, the soldiers persistently piled rocks and soil into the river, and even threw the bodies of the dead soldiers into the river. Although the casualties were heavy, the water of the moat gradually began to be replaced by sand, and at first a few places were filled in a few places, and hundreds of wooden donkey carts rushed through the flat ground that had been carved out on the other side of the moat in a line of long snakes, and the archers in the carts under the cover of wooden cages rushed out, and began to shoot at the soldiers on the castle tower under the cover of a large sheep felt shield that was more than 100 zhang long. The defenders on the tower were forced to engage in a firing stalemate, giving the other soldiers the opportunity to fill the moat completely.

When the moat disappeared, the coalition soldiers at the gates on all sides of Hengzhou City cheered earth-shatteringly, and the warriors carrying the ladders, the strong men pushing the siege vehicles and the archers covering the crashing vehicles poured into the city all over the mountains. Wooden donkey carts, siege engines, crash cars were densely packed in front of the city walls. The rain of locust-like arrows was like the tide of the Hengjiang River, surging towards the city one wave after another. The neat and high-pitched shouts of the Tang defenders resounded on the city tower, and dozens of giant rolling logs coated with butter were carried up the battlements of the city wall and smashed towards the Hu warriors who had set up a ladder under the city and were ready to attack the city. The huge rolling log was ignited by several rockets, rolling in monstrous flames, unstoppably smashing the newly erected ladder, rolling over the soldiers of all races who had never had time to dodge, carving bloody marks on the ground, knocking apart the wooden donkey cart formation, and turning everything under the city into a sea of fire until the castration was exhausted. Immediately afterward, hundreds of huge stones fell from the city wall like hailstones, and dozens of them were flying stones that had just been shot into the city. A boulder accurately hit the siege vehicle that was about to rush to the front of the city, the wooden wedge erected high on the car was smashed into pieces, the wooden wheels on the car were broken into several pieces, the wooden cart weighing thousands of pounds and several large ladders on the car fell sharply and fell heavily to the ground, and dozens of siege soldiers who had no time to dodge in the future smashed into a mud of indistinguishable shape.

Under the alternating attack of rolling logs and stones on the city tower, the soldiers outside the fortress still succeeded in erecting more than 100 cloud ladders high and firmly erecting them on the city tower. More than a dozen huge siege vehicles arrived at the city under the protection of the soldiers, and the long wooden wedges were firmly against the city walls, and dozens of soldiers rushed up to the city along the slope formed by the wooden wedges. Several ladders set up on the cart were also erected on the city at the same time, so that hundreds of soldiers who had been waiting on the side for a long time rushed up to the top of the city along the ladders. The ladders are so wide that you can almost climb them. When the first siege vehicle was successfully erected, the morale of the siege army was high, and the casualties caused by the rolling wood and stone were immediately left behind, and hundreds of elite soldiers like wolves and tigers held steel knives in their mouths, used their hands and feet together, climbed up the ladder, and dozens of elite soldiers rushed directly along the wooden slope to the city.

When the Hu warriors rushed up along the ladder, they were greeted by a continuous, powerful rain of arrows, and the warriors who rushed to the first one were shot into a twisted and deformed mass by a sudden and violent rain of arrows, and fell helplessly down to the city. More than a dozen powerful crossbow arrows pierced through his battered corpse like a mosaic earth, and then into the warrior behind him.

The warriors on the ladder had long been crowded together because of the small place, and the Tang warriors who controlled the crossbow arrows could hit the arrows almost without aiming. The siege vehicles of the Turks were covered with the bloody corpses of warriors of various ethnic groups in an instant, and large strands of blood smeared bright and hideous colors on the city of Hengzhou.
