A sea of fire.

Before the cannon sounded, Nanyi's crossbow shot a bow and arrow doused with fire oil into the city wall. When a fire broke out in a house, the people couldn't put it out, and soon an entire street was set on fire.

The people of the capital were dumbfounded and began to panic, which led to a large-scale rout. The gate could not escape, so they went back and locked it, and pressed it against the door with their belongings, trying to resist anything.

It doesn't matter, Nanyi just wants to negotiate with the royal family, as long as he hides until a peaceful day and comes out.

They comfort each other, retreating into their bedrooms, wardrobes, or cellars.

The officers and soldiers on the city wall grabbed the militia who wanted to flee home, and shouted angrily: "What are you running? Come back to me! Dahong is not dead yet, my Dahong has a total of 500,000 soldiers and horses, will this small country of Nanyi break through the capital? ”

Holding a bundle of firewood poured with fire oil, the militia who wanted to escape secretly mourned: "Master Jun, I have a lot of military horses, but the north and south are scattered." It will take a day for the soldiers and horses of Henan Province to run here recently, and I think our capital will be broken tonight. ”

"Even if the city is broken, we should be united in the army and the people, and we will not complain about Dahong's survival and death. How can you defect? ”

The militia looked at him and was a little ashamed for a while.

"I still have children at home, so let me go back." He said.

While the two were arguing, the herald ran across the city wall with the order flag, shouting and shouting: "The army and the people are bent on resisting Nanyi, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

The military orders were strict, and the militia craned their necks and retreated to the ranks, waiting for the officers and soldiers to leave, and carefully looked outside the city walls. Nanyi's army had advanced like locusts on this side of the wall, with siege engines and catapults at the front, with huge logs and stones on them.

Li Zhang stood at the top of the city wall and looked at the scene in front of him coldly.

The news has been sent that as long as they stay until tomorrow morning, the officers and troops of Henan and South Shaanxi provinces will come. The key is tonight.

The artillery is gone, they can still throw stones, shoot arrows, and use people as shields to block the Nanyi military horses.

Faintly, he heard the people talking: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince's soldiers and horses have won a great victory in the north. ”

"Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come to save us, right?"

"I heard that Nanyi is ferocious, and he will also practice Gu worms, in case some man-eating insects are thrown inside, they won't scare people to death."

"It's terrible, come back quickly, Your Highness."

……

Li Zhang's heart was full of resentment, these people were really spineless, and they shrank their heads before the battle was fought. What are you afraid of, he Li Zhang has never been afraid of anything.

"Archery!" He shouted at the blazing wind on the walls.

The Nanyi army raised their shields, arrows rained down, and after a cloud of confusion, the dead and wounded Yi soldiers were dragged out, and the siege vehicles opened the way and continued towards the city walls.

"Block the door!" The sergeants methodically barricaded the gates.

"Boom!" With a bang, the heavy wood on the siege vehicle slammed into the city gate.

At the same time, stones poured down from the walls, instantly smashing the heads of the soldiers.

"Again!" Behind the military formation, Sima Shuoyue stood on a high place protected by soldiers with a giant shield, looked at the armored regent on the city wall, turned his head and said, "Brother, is this the prince of Dahong?" ”

He said and walked away.

Sima Shuori walked slowly from behind, his eyes looked at the city wall with a heavy gaze, and Li Zhang's sight was immediately opened.

"Zhang Shuo!" Li Zhang's face turned white, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"This king," he murmured, "I will kill you with my own hands." ”
