Ban Lingruo immediately shot back: "Zuo Xianxian, you are mistaken, my father is loyal to the Yanling Dynasty, not a surname, if the country wants to be rich and strong, it must be ruled by the Ming lord, this is a natural rule." The Yan clan has continuously caused civil wars and fratricidal warfare, which has simply chilled the hearts of people all over the world, how can such a person bear the heavy responsibility of Yanling again? Again, how about a woman being the emperor? You and I are both women, and now we are all standing on the battlefield! We can still shroud the body in horse leather, so why can't the phoenix lord be the emperor? It can be seen that the vision and vision of the left vanguard are too short-sighted, which is really ridiculous! ”

"You ......" Zuo Mansha was dumbfounded by Ban Lingruo's argument, and couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart. In fact, she herself understands that this large-scale march is just a reason to use King Yu. If you are really reasonable, your own side is the one who loses. Zuo Mansha is born with his father, upright and bold, but he is not good at sophistry. Although he was angry in his heart, he had to approve of Ban Lingruo's words.

Since he couldn't talk about it, Zuo Mansha said directly: "I'm here to fight, not to fight with you." Since the two armies are facing each other, we can't just go back with a few words from you, and whoever has the final say will depend on whose means are clever. Since we can't talk about it, you should go back and prepare for the battle! ”

Ban Lingruo didn't leave, she said to Zuo Mansha: "Actually, I came to pass a word to you for the Phoenix Lord. Lord Feng said, the Emperor of Xiyue is stupid, don't be stupid, he asked you to come and die in vain. Instead of taking humiliation on yourself, it is better to go back and persuade that old fool not to listen to others and instigate others to be used! ”

After she finished speaking, Zuo Mansha's originally somewhat dark pretty face was flushed with anger, and she laughed angrily: "Okay, good, your Feng Lord is really a heroine among women, and you dare to scold our emperor for being an old fool." Go back, watch me break your city, kill all the way to Kyoto, put the knife on your phoenix lord's neck, and see what she has to say! ”

Ban Lingruo shook his head helplessly, turned the horse's head and was about to go back, and when Zuo Mansha was about to return to the team, he suddenly heard Ban Lingruo say behind him: "By the way, Zuo Xianxian, I have something I want to tell you." Zuo Mansha turned back when she heard this.

Ban Lingruo said: "Zuo Xianxian, you are a heroine among women, and you are a talent. If one day you feel that Xiyue can't stay any longer, come to Yanling, and my Feng master will definitely treat you well! ”

This sentence is really what Ban Lingruo said in her heart, she really admires Zuo Mansha. However, these words sounded to Zuo Mansha, but Ban Lingruo deliberately ridiculed, she raised her willow eyebrows, her face was full of anger, and she shouted angrily: "If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will be rude to you now?" ”

"Alas!" Ban Lingruo sighed helplessly and said, "Then take care!" Then he lifted the reins and rode back to the city.

Zuo Mansha returned to the camp angrily and said to Xiahou Shuojie: "You give the order, I will lead the troops to kill them now, and today I will definitely break their city!" ”

Xiahou Shuojie was not interested in the conversation between Zuo Mansha and Ban Lingruo at all, he was always staring at the figure standing on Yan Yue Pass, pondering something in his heart.

After listening to Zuo Mansha's words, he shook his head and said, "Order the troops to retreat, and come back tomorrow!" ”

Zuo Mansha asked in disbelief: "It's already here, why do you want to withdraw from the army?" ”

Xiahou Shuojie said: "Today is not the time, I still can't figure out the other party's intentions. Need to go back and think about it! ”

Zuo Mansha hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter what their intentions are, you won't know if you kill them." ”

Xiahou Shuojie turned the horse's head and said to Zuo Mansha: "Don't be in a hurry, a blind attack is harmful and unprofitable." It's too weird to risk today! ”

Zuo Mansha looked at Yan Yueguan in the distance, and said strangely: "What's weird?" I think it's just a trick. ”

Xiahou Shuojie smiled and said, "No! It's peaceful, there's no murderous aura, I don't know the other party's intentions, I can't risk the lives of the warriors. ”

Zuo Mansha had no choice but to retreat with Xiahou Shuojie, and when he left, he didn't forget to turn around and glared at the figure standing at the head of the city.

Sima Hongyan stood alone at the head of the city from beginning to end watching the movements of the Western Yue army, and after seeing them and Ban Lingruo chatting, he suddenly withdrew his troops. couldn't help muttering: "This guy who commands the army is very careful!" ”

After going down the city tower, Sima Hongyan summoned Ban Lingruo and Xiao Hongying and whispered a few words to them. After hearing that Ban Lingruo and Xiao Hongying were very surprised, Sima Hongyan said a few more words to the two of them, and then the two nodded and went to arrange it themselves.

Sima Hongyan called Nan Guying again, took him up to the city tower, pointed to the back and forth outside the gate and said something to him, Nan Guying listened with a solemn face, and interjected a few words from time to time, as if the two were discussing something.

In any case, everyone had an extra day of rest, and all the soldiers knew that the big war was imminent, so they all slept when they were full, recuperated their spirits, and waited for the enemy army to come again.

Early the next morning, the horn sounded in Seunai. Sima Hongyan did not go up to the city tower alone this time, but took Zhong Liying and Xiao Hongying to the city tower together. The three of them looked around, thousands of miles of yellow sand and dust were rising, and countless Western Vietnamese cavalry were rushing to cover the sky and the sun, and the sound of heavy horse hooves roared like muffled thunder, shocking people's hearts.

Zhong Liying and Xiao Hongying saw such a big formation for the first time, and both of them had slightly trembling nails, not because they were afraid, but because they were in a strange mood mixed with nervousness and excitement.

Sima Hongyan had already seen it yesterday, and he was much calmer today. She found that the cavalry of Xiyue was really strong, not to mention the tall horses, and all kinds of beast totems were painted on their faces, like a pack of hungry wolves, with their eyes on their prey, and their bodies exuding a murderous aura.

Moreover, the West Vietnamese army was neat and tidy, and they advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and at first glance, they had been trained for a long time. The people of Xiyue are born to break into the world on horseback, so their riding skills are the strongest among the five countries, and their ability to control horses is perfect. Each 10,000-strong cavalry phalanx starts almost at the same time and can stop at the same time, which is very neat and unified.

The battle to defend the city was commanded by Ban Jingchong, who transferred all the archers in the city to the city wall, and each archer was bent and arrowed, just waiting for the enemy to attack.

Xiahou Shuojie's soldiers and horses were arrayed outside the range of bows and arrows, and when they saw that Yan Yue was closing the cold light, and the arrows had been wound, he waved to Zuo Mansha and said, "Send troops!" ”

Zuo Mansha took the scimitar out of the sheath in his waist and shouted: "Brothers, rush!" A troop of 10,000 cavalry shouted and galloped out.

Sima Hongyan saw the enemy cavalry dispatched, and the infantry behind followed closely behind, all of them holding shields and guarding the long ladder and rushing towards Guancheng.

Ban Jingchong has been fighting for many years, and has fought many battles of various sizes, and when he saw that the local cavalry charged first, and then the infantry, he shouted loudly: "The cavalry in front is just a motorized soldier, everyone aim at the infantry behind, don't let them easily set up a ladder to climb." "When the archers heard the order, they all aimed their arrows at the enemy infantry who were coming behind them.

At this time, the cavalry had already entered the firing range, and Ban Jingchong did not give the order. Sure enough, the cavalry rushed to the city wall and immediately turned their horses and ran along the wall, while the infantry behind had gradually run into range.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ban Jing Chong ordered loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

Suddenly, thousands of arrows were fired, like a black cloud, covering the enemy troops below the city. The West Vietnamese soldiers held their shields high, kept under their feet, and desperately rushed towards the city wall. There was a tight "Tengteng" sound, mixed with a scream, and the shields of the West Vietnamese soldiers were suddenly nailed with arrow feathers, and at the same time, many people were shot by bows and arrows due to poor shielding.

The archers on the city wall took turns to send arrows, and one by one the dense arrow feathers flew mercilessly towards the enemy, and after each round of arrow rain, many people fell, wailing and screaming, so that the Yanling army in the city wall reserve felt miserable.

Seeing that he was approaching the wall, the leader hiding behind the shield shouted, and the infantry began to return fire, and the archers hiding under the shield also began to fire arrows at the wall.

Condescending naturally has an absolute advantage, the West Vietnamese infantry has already had hundreds of arrows, even if some were shot down for a while and did not die were nailed into hedgehogs by the next round of arrow rain, and the arrow feathers of the West Vietnamese soldiers counterattacked only made a dozen Yanling soldiers suffer some injuries.

At the beginning of the battle between the two armies, Xiyue suffered heavy casualties, and Sima Hongyan secretly thought that rushing forward like this was purely using human life to cushion in, but it was not like what he watched on TV in his previous life, and he went to the city to start hand-to-hand combat before he could do anything.

Then the group of cavalry that had run around the wall turned back, raised their shields above their heads, and galloped around the wall. Sima Hongyan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the cavalry hiding under the shield passing by the city gate, he would throw something at the city gate.

Sima Hongyan's heart moved, and he shouted at Ban Jingchong: "Be careful! The cavalry will set fire to the city gates! ”

At this time, the soldiers guarding behind the city gate also noticed that something was wrong, and liquid began to flow in the gap under the city gate, and one soldier went over and dipped his hand in it, put it to his nose and smelled it, and shouted to the people behind: "It's oil!" ”

Ban Jingchong hurriedly commanded some of the archers to release arrows to stop the cavalry, but the Xiyue horses were fast, and they had already run away before the arrows could be fired. When the last cavalryman passed through the city gate, he threw a fire at the city gate, and suddenly the huge city gate burst into flames.

Ban Jingchong secretly scolded the Western Vietnamese barbarians for being cunning, and actually used the siege infantry as bait to attract his attention, the main purpose was to let the cavalry burn the city gate. No matter how strong the city gate is, it is also wood, and it will be damaged quickly when it burns in a fire, and it will be opened with a blow hammer.

However, Ban Jingchong was experienced, and immediately ordered the gatekeepers to pour water on the door, and as long as the gate was doused with water while the fire was still not big, it would be automatically extinguished after a while.

The fierceness of the Western Vietnamese was manifested at this time, and their fierce rush to death finally came to the city wall, and the broken gate piles were also carried and rushed over, and the soldiers used shields to protect the heads of the siege soldiers, and began to shout slogans and hit the city gates. Every time the huge gate pile hits the city gate, it makes a huge "knock, knock" sound.

Many of the other infantry carried the ladder to the city wall, and everyone pushed it up and erected it on the wall, and then the infantry began to climb up with their shields.

Looking at the enemies who came one after another like ants, the bow and arrow could no longer fully play its role, and Ban Jingchong shouted, "Throw!" ”

The soldiers in the city who had been preparing for a long time waved their spears at the same time, and threw a water bladder hanging from the tip of the spear from the wall.

Suddenly, countless black things flew out of the sky, which made the West Vietnamese soldiers outside the city stunned for a moment, and Ban Jingchong ordered all the archers to release arrows at the water bladder flying overhead. In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, and countless arrow feathers passed through the water bladder, and countless splashes were spilled from the penetrated water bladder.
