As the sun wanes, the magnificent sunset on the border between the two countries is also covered with a layer of hoarfrost at this time. Maybe it's the sun in the sky, and I can't bear to look at the corpses that are still stacked on the ground. The gates of Xingyang City had been smashed open, and the archers stationed at the gates had also rushed to the gates of the city, resisting the impact of the barbarians' madness and not fear of death with their bodies. The barbarian soldiers outside the city gate who were originally in an orderly formation were now all gathered together, holding swords and spears and rushing towards the Xingyang city gate. I have to say that this undeclared battle launched by the border alliance of the Underworld has achieved fantastic results, and it has forced Xingyang City, one of the border military cities of the Qinshan Kingdom, to a life-and-death juncture.

On the high castle tower, three big men were crowded into the narrow watchtower. Among them, wearing a dragon helmet is Xing Lun, the general of Xingyang City and the only son of Xing Meng, the lord of Xingyang City.

"General, the only two remaining Heavenly Thunderbolts in the city have been urgently transported here from the city's treasury, and now we are waiting for your order. The commander of the enemy army will definitely not let all his troops enter the city, and he must be afraid of our thunder, so as long as we block the first wave of attacks of the barbarians, and lock the city gates, we can defend for another two or three days!" said a man dressed as a military advisor next to him.

The other silent man was the one in charge of the grain and grass in the garrison. He squeezed past the two of them worriedly, and glanced out of the tower—the black-pressed barbarian soldiers were rushing in, their eyes full of madness and excitement. In the distance, there were heavy crossbow chariots lined up in a neat row, and behind the chariots were black and oppressive sergeants, and the enemy commander must have been there. He no longer dared to imagine the casualties of the self-defense forces under the castle tower, who were resisting the barbarian army with their lives. The chief grain officer sighed and said, "General, your subordinates are blind, and the current situation can only be done according to what Li Junshi said." ”

"In that case, you two will go down with me and send our soldiers on their last journey!"

It was getting dark. Qinshan Kingdom, which can be called the most destructive **, and is also one of the most scarce weapon varieties, was detonated by Xing Lun's faction after a large number of soldiers from the Underworld rushed into the city gate. The soldiers of Xingyang City were squeezing forward, ignoring the fact that the enemy's sharp sword had left a few bloody holes in their bodies, and the resistance finally turned into a desperate squeeze, resolutely not allowing the barbarians to move forward. As soon as the men who rushed to the front were cut down by the enemy, the dead men on both sides of the gate rushed to fill the gaps in front of the enemy. Even so, nearly a thousand barbarian dead soldiers also rushed out of the life defense line of the soldiers of Xingyang City for two or three hundred meters. Further on, we will go to the inner city, where many common people live. Most of the self-defense troops stationed at the city gates had been killed and wounded, and now there were less than a hundred soldiers fending off six or seven times their own barbarian warriors.

"The general is coming!" "Protect the general!" "Strategist!"

At this moment, on either side of the red-eyed warriors, a galloping horse galloped towards him. Immediately, two warriors wore iron helmets on their heads, covering their faces, and carried an object on their backs, black, the shape and size of a baby, which was the thunder of the sky. A bunch of torches were tied to the horse's head, and the horse rushed into the crowd of people, and was soon cut to the ground, and the two dead men picked up the torches and threw them at the thunderbolt on their backs, and the fire flashed. The tremendous power of the two Heavenly Thunderbolts devoured all nearby lives, and the city gate made of Heavenly Meteorite Iron actually left two deep black marks. Xing Lun was closer to the battlefield, and was thrown to the ground by the huge impact, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and the black hair that had just been cut off from his head with tears of anger drifted into the smoke, Xing Lun supported himself and stood up hard.

"Quick, close the gates!" a loud roar reached the tower, and the two impregnable gates slowly closed.

In the distance, behind the heavy crossbow chariot, the commander of the underworld, who was riding on a tall horse, saw this and showed a smile that everything was under control.

"General! The last general received an urgent report and immediately rushed from the inner city to support, but he didn't expect ......" The sky was completely dark, and at this time, a group of people, about two or three hundred people, rushed to the edge of the city tower. Xing Lun, who was speechless standing on the corpses of countless enemy companions, fixed his eyes and saw that this team was led by a captain of the Inner City Self-Defense Army. He smiled sadly, and his voice became hoarse at some point: "Good, good. Captain Zheng, you quickly arrange for them to go up to the city tower, and the barbarians may launch a night attack......"

"Yes!"

Late at night, Xing Lun and the captain had been sitting on the city tower, not daring to slack off at the slightest by the fire on the city tower, staring at the row of heavy crossbow chariots in the distance.

"Alas... Father... How has he been. Xing Lun sighed first and asked.

"Lord Cheng has been writing letters to several allies asking for help, but ......" Captain Zheng sighed and said no more.

"How?"

"General, you also know that our Xingyang City is located in a remote area, and the east is the territory of another country. Several other border towns are some distance away from us. Only Chuyang City to the west is the only possible support... But this Chuyang City ......"

"Alright. Xing Lun said solemnly: "The personal grievance is small, but the national disaster is big. No one is going to ignore it at a time like this!"

"The last will understand... However, this Chuyang City border army is also very far away from us, and it may not be possible to reach it in a day or two... The country of Hades came prepared, alas......"

"How many days can it last, how many days! Do you want us to give up a huge city to others? Also, Captain Zheng, did my father say anything about the incident in Blackwater City? What do you think?" Xing Lun suddenly thought of the letter Xing Meng had sent to him a few days ago, about the strange incident that Heishui City would transfer soldiers to Xingyang City.

"This..."Captain Zheng was about to say something, but Xing Lun suddenly got up and said to him, "Look over there, on the left, are they going to attack the flank and climb the ladder into the city?" "Archers pay attention to the west side!"

......

Early the next morning.

Last night, the coalition army of the Underworld took advantage of the slack of the soldiers of Yang Cheng in the middle of the night, and moved three heavy crossbow chariots to the west side of the city gate, fired heavy arrows to kill the soldiers defending the city, and built siege ladders. Xing Lun personally went into battle, fought bloodily, his right arm was cut off by the barbarian dead, and Li Junshi died from a stray arrow. Fortunately, the self-defense army of Xingyang Inner City came to support last night, and they barely resisted this wave of powerful attacks of the Underworld and overturned their siege ladder. Although the casualties on both sides were about the same, hundreds of unrecognizable corpses were piled up under the castle tower, which began to stink when exposed to the sun. However, Xing Lun clearly understood that this night attack of the enemy army was a huge threat to Xingyang City, because they seemed to have known that there was no such terrifying lethal weapon as the Heavenly Thunder in Xingyang City. As long as it waits until dawn, the coalition forces of the Underworld will inevitably launch a more ferocious attack, and at that time, Xingyang City will face a more severe test.

As Xing Lun expected, as soon as the sun released light in the sky, he keenly saw that the formation of the coalition forces in the distance had undergone subtle changes. Xing Lun shook his head, and his whole body became vigilant. Use the remaining stump arm to pat the row of sleepy archers on the tower to wake up. Send someone to call Captain Zheng, who couldn't hold on to going to sleep due to the fatigue of the journey and the battle last night, and asked him to immediately prepare his soldiers for battle.

"General, they're moving!" said an archer who was staring intently at the formation of the barbarians in the distance to Xing Lun beside him.

Xing Lun hurriedly put his hands on the city wall and poked his head out. In the distance, in the middle of the battle line of a dozen heavy crossbow chariots, a barbarian soldier who couldn't see clearly, and then he began to push the huge chariot in front of him. A moment later, he actually pushed the chariot loaded with giant crossbow and heavy arrows in front of the soldiers of Xingyang City with his own strength, only a hundred meters away from the city gate. Xing Lun clearly saw that this barbarian soldier was huge and untouched, and his whole body was wrapped in pure black armor from head to tail. A row of archers on the city gate bent their bows and arrows in unison, but Xing Lun stopped them from releasing their arrows with a gesture.

"The enemy commander must have something to say, so you might as well listen to it. Xing Lun said to the left and right, and took a step forward with his body bowed.

The barbarian soldier spoke, and his voice was loud: "I have long admired the prestige of General Xing! The last general greets General Xing on behalf of my general, and also greets the city lord of Guicheng!"

Xing Lun frowned, and spoke, his momentum was not lost to the other party at all: "Strong man! If it weren't for the battle between the two armies, you would have been pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows!

"General Xing is so angry! It's a pity, I'm afraid it's foolish!"

"That guy is a persuader to surrender, he..." Xing Lun said disdainfully to the people around him, raised his head and said sharply: "You are a barbarian, you are really a fool! Since you have heard of the name and surname of this general, you should know that even if the entire Xingyang City is lowered, I, Xing Lun, will not descend! Leave quickly, spare your life!"

"Whoosh-" A heavy arrow the thickness of an arm shot up the city tower and flew straight towards Xing Lun's head. But the distance was not close, and Xing Lun was quite agile, and he suddenly lowered his head to avoid this sneak attack. Heavy arrows slammed into the walls behind them.

"Despicable villain!" Xing Lun scolded fiercely, carefully poking his head out of the city wall, only to see that more than a dozen chariots in the distance began to move at a very fast speed. The barbarian soldiers sat on chariots or ran the battlefield, swords and spears in their hands, and then he saw the barbarian cavalry, guarded by the crossbow chariots, and the soldiers on tall horses were fully armed. A deep sense of powerlessness rose in Xing Lun's heart, and he shouted, "Archer, release the arrow!"

With this shout, the archers in a row loosened their tight strings, and the rain of arrows fell on the vast sand field in front of the city gates, and blood splattered from the necks of the soldiers. After hearing Xing Lun's order, more than 100 Yang Cheng self-defense soldiers rushed up to the city tower, holding large knives and carrying heavy rolling stones on their backs, and some soldiers carried huge rolling logs up the city tower, standing behind the archers, looking at the barbarian soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and waited for the battle.

On the high castle tower, the corpse was already lying on the ground at this time. The soldiers of Xingyang City fought extremely bravely, with one enemy and three enemies, and fought bloodily until the last moment, only Xing Lun was left, and he was surrounded by more than a dozen of his personal guards in the middle of the city tower. His right eye was pierced and most of his ear was cut off. The last guards wielded their swords and cut down the barbarian dead soldiers who were still coming up through the siege ladder to the ground. But at the same time, they couldn't withstand the enemy, and the guards around Xing Lun fell one after another. Enraged, he beheaded a barbarian soldier in the crowd and was stabbed in the left leg with a spear. At this time, I don't know who said: "General, it's worth it..."

Then the voice became a roar before death. Xing Lun vaguely saw in his left eye that there were very few barbarian soldiers on the vast battlefield in front of the city gate, except for those who sat on more than a dozen chariots and fired arrows, and then put aside the dozens of dead soldiers on the siege ladder, not counting the nearly 100 enemy soldiers on the city tower, there were only a few dozen barbarian soldiers who were still running towards the city gate. Yes, the enemy army attacked Yang Cheng by surprise, he Xing Lun can do this, and the soldiers he led can hold on to this moment and replace the lives of so many barbarian soldiers, it's worth it.

"General!General!Reinforcements are coming!""There are reinforcements!We don't have to die!""Protect the general!" "Protect the general!"

Suddenly, there were bursts of excited shouts around him, mixed with screams, and Xing Lun woke up. He pierced the neck of the barbarian soldier who pounced on him, and looked down the city tower - fierce fighting was taking place on the dozen or so heavy crossbow chariots, and the soldiers of the Underworld who were firing dark arrows were cut down to the ground by this "reinforcement". The dull sound of horses' hooves sounded, Xing Lun raised his blood-stained face, and saw the cavalry and hundreds of infantry coming from afar, led by a large banner with the word "Black Water" written on it. In an instant, countless feelings all came to Xing Lun's heart, this is what his father said a few days ago, the five hundred soldiers who entered the Underworld to suppress bandits in Blackwater City and the more than 100 workers who transported the Chinese ship! Xing Lun looked at the soldiers of Blackwater City who were surging in, and for a while he couldn't move his reddened one-eye, which was joy and excitement from the bottom of his heart.

"General go, we have reinforcements! These barbarians must die! Withdraw!" one of his guards shouted in his ear, and then took up his broadsword and slashed at the barbarians who were constantly swarming. Xing Lun showed a cruel smile, but it was a joyful smile. He grabbed the big knife on the ground and swung it with his powerful arms, slashing down the brute soldiers who stood in his way. The wound on the left leg seems to be gone. He slashed along the way, and several of his guards were spared death because of his bravery in killing the enemy.
