Yuanbao's emotion is somewhat depressed, but Noya's heart has re-risen hope, talking is better than nothing, although now it can't make sophisticated attack equipment, but it should be possible to turn waste into treasure and improve some simple city defense weapons.

At that time, the soldiers were ordered to carry all the equipment out, and the skilled craftsmen in the city were recruited to guide and participate, and everyone worked together to nail the discarded arrows, swords, spears, etc. to the wood and planks, and made simple wooden and knife carts, and transported them to the city gate.

Everyone's fighting mood was not high, as if they had already had the frustration of surrendering without a fight in their hearts. Noah didn't understand how these people could be so disgraced and lazy at the moment of life and death? Perhaps, they feel that even if they are defeated, they can abandon the city and flee, they can retreat to the next level, even if they flee all the way to the capital, there are still people from Baili Mansion guarding the town, it doesn't matter.

Noah hated to completely close the North City Gate, and made a move to break the cauldron and cut off their back road. However, it is afraid of causing panic and turmoil among the people in the city. She ordered people to line up the well-made knife carts under the city, with the tips of the knives pointing inward, and said in a sonorous voice: "When fighting, if there is a cowardly retreat and want to be a deserter, the knife riders will not show mercy to their subordinates when they prepare bows and arrows, and there will be no mercy!" We swear to live and die with Xinyang City! ”

Her voice was not loud, but the soldiers who were slowly swallowing turned pale and unconsciously straightened their spines.

The army of the Marquis of Zhenyuan had already arrived by the time it was dark, and it was even faster than Noya had imagined. The Marquis of Zhenyuan ordered people to set up camp three miles away from the city, set up a fire in the stove, and temporarily rested.

Noya climbed to the lookout of the city tower and looked into the distance, only to see the black oppression, and there was no end in sight. According to conservative estimates, there are also more than 30,000 military horses, and it is not yet known whether there are reinforcements in the rear.

There, is where her Ah Jiu was imprisoned, and the two can be said to be close at hand, but they can't meet. God knows how envious she is of Bing Spirit, although this trip is dangerous, she can stay by Ah Jiu's side and protect his safety, and her heart will not be so panicked or painful.

Hopefully, everything is fine, Ah Jiu is safe, Bingluo is safe, wake up tomorrow morning, when the sun is shining all over the earth, the two will stand in front of them, smile and tell her: "We are back, the Marquis of Zhenyuan has been defeated." ”

Alas, wishful thinking.

She retracted her thoughts, turned her head to look at the city wall, and in the hazy night, there were also soldiers standing solemnly, densely packed, winding like long snakes and dragons, standing still in the slightly bleak autumn wind. She smiled bitterly, most of those soldiers were swollen and fat, and ordered the people in the city to take the freshly harvested straw and tie it into a scarecrow, put on the soldier's clothes, and play tricks. I hope that the Marquis of Zhenyuan will be afraid and will not send troops without authorization.

This is a clumsy tactic, but if it can be delayed for a moment, it may reduce the number of dead and wounded thousands of soldiers in the future.

Noah secretly estimated in his heart that the bird sent a message to the capital, and now it is a headwind, at least for more than a day. And the long-distance march is the slowest, even if it is a rapid march, it will take six days to get here from the capital, and he will lead this plate of loose sand, can he hold on for so many days? She didn't know what to expect.

In the middle of the night, the Marquis of Zhenyuan commanded the soldiers to start the first wave of attack, which was not violent, as if it was testing the truth and reality, and after suffering a counterattack, it quickly retreated like a tide.

Soon it was a second wave, a third wave, one after the other, each more and more violent, and she had to do her best.

The self-made wooden beating wood played a role at this time, and it was thrown down suddenly, and the sword cone on it stabbed the other party's siege soldiers to cry wolf and howl, crying out in pain, and the offensive gradually weakened.

Fortunately, the Marquis of Zhenyuan was only testing the truth and suffering, and after suffering a tough counterattack, he died down and ordered the withdrawal of his troops, and there was no movement.

The night was safe, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan was really jealous and did not take any further action. Noah breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced, and received the first starling released by Bingluo, although the starling only said one word "An", but she and Yuan Bao were instantly ecstatic, almost crying.

Bailijiu's safety and sound, so that Nuoya's heart instantly rose with hope, full of strength, she regained her self-confidence, and asked those veterans who had been on the battlefield for advice on how to defend the city, repel waiting, sentry, strengthen vigilance, and have been in a state of high tension, alert to the wind and grass around her.

For a whole day, but everything was safe, but Nuoya became weak and uneasy, and didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Zhenyuanhou's gourd? According to common sense, he should take advantage of the fact that Noya's reinforcements here have not arrived, and seize the opportunity to attack, how can he not move?

In the evening, the scouts sent out came back to report that something had been transported from the camp of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, about a dozen feet high and wide enough, all covered with oilcloth.

Noah didn't know what was going on, so he asked the veterans for advice, and there were different opinions, most of which were the crashes and rushes used in the siege, both of which were powerful and would cause serious damage to the city walls.

No wonder the Marquis of Zhenyuan has been standing still, it turned out that he was waiting for such powerful equipment. He originally marched quickly, and under the banner of escorting the thieves, so he did not carry large-scale siege weapons and equipment with the army, and the hardware had the upper hand. Now that the conspiracy has been revealed, the city has to be forcibly attacked, and all the minions are exposed.

In this way, if the Marquis of Zhenyuan attacks the city, it will be unstoppable like a tiger with wings.

At night, it became more and more quiet, except for the autumn wind hunting, and the rustle of grass blades.

Noah stood on the city wall, vigilant of the other party's movements, holding his breath and waiting for the sudden attack of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. She ordered rockets to be fired again and again to prevent them from lurking close to the city walls under the cover of night.

The weeds around were all burned and bare, and there was no hiding place for the other party to attack again.

After Zhan Qing took a break, he came up to persuade Nuoya to go down and rest: "There has been no movement for a day, and there should be no attack tonight." ”

Noah Look at the sky, the night is gradually passing, the sky is approaching dawn, the stars are receding, entering the darkest period of time before dawn, the sky, it will soon be light. She nodded: "I hope so, but it's false and real, unexpected, this is the method of using troops by the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and it can't be careless at all." ”

Zhan Qing persuaded her: "Then you hurry up and rest, I'll be on guard, as soon as the day dawns, it will be safe." ”

Noah wanted to hold on until dawn, but her body was not angry, her eyelids had already begun to fight, and she always felt tired from pregnancy, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay." ”

He didn't leave, sat on the ground, closed his eyes and rested.

Zhan Qing said: "You go to the tent below to rest, I heard Bao Ye say that you are still pregnant now." ”

Noya shook her head: "We martial arts practitioners, our eyesight and hearing are always better than ordinary people, once there is an abnormal wind and grass, you will arouse me." ”

Zhan Qing thought about it, but he was not reluctant, and ordered someone to go to the tent to get a blanket and spread it under her body.

Noah was able to use willpower to fall asleep in the shortest possible time. Such a deep sleep without hearing can only take a quarter of an hour to achieve an hour's sleep effect. She quickly woke up from her slumber, still silent, and the night was like ink. But she felt the murderous aura very keenly, the extremely thick steaming murderous aura.

There was a rustle under the walls and the sound of the wind blowing blades of grass.

She rose from the ground with a carp, snatched the sword of the soldier beside her, and threw it at the bottom of the wall.

A muffled snort, small but extremely clear.

"The enemy is attacking the city!"

Noya exclaimed, and suddenly there was a "sparse" sound, and the soldiers picked up the weapons in their hands, and they were in a hurry.

A few torches were dropped, and the enemy soldiers under the walls abandoned their straw blankets and stood up. Draw your weapons and begin a swift siege.

For a while, the rolling wood and stones were all on the ground, screaming again and again, and the shouts of killing resounded in the sky.

The people who attacked the city this time should be the elite division under the Marquis of Zhenyuan, they are good at arrows, and they are agile, they shoot upwards are ignited rockets, and there are still scarecrows disguised as soldiers on the city wall, which are ignited in an instant, causing the city wall to be as bright as day, and the soldiers defending the city immediately became the target of the public, and they were injured one after another.

The flames were raging, and the soldiers hurriedly used their spears to pick all the scarecrows that had been ignited to the city, and for a time sparks were scattered and the flames were blazing. Shining out of the city, the black pressed an enemy army, and it was impossible to see how many people there were, as fierce as a hungry tiger, menacing, and intimidating.

"Lime powder!"

Noah calmly commanded. Now the enemy is not easy to shoot, and the wind direction is good, which is suitable for lime powder.

The soldiers immediately understood what she meant, and bags of lime powder were dumped, and there was a choking sound under the walls, and many people were blinded and scurried around like flies without heads. The momentum of the siege gradually slowed down.

"Change the chariot!" I vaguely heard that someone in the city was calmly commanding, containing a trace of anger, it was the Marquis of Zhenyuan who personally commanded the battle.

There was a "rumbling" sound in the distance, the sound of wheels rubbing the ground, and the voice of Zhanqing behind him: "It's not good, I think their siege chariot has arrived!" ”

The guy from Zhenyuan Hou is finally going to appear the same.

By the light of the fire under the city, Noya looked closely, and saw that there were many ploughing oxen pulling a row of behemoths, with iron teeth as thick as arms, approaching the city wall, because it was wrapped in iron sheets, and the ploughing oxen had rough skin and thick meat, the arrows and crossbows could not be helpless for a while, and they could only watch the behemoths approaching the city, and the square windows suddenly opened above, and people appeared from behind, holding a chain of bows and crossbows, and fired a dense burst of fires upward.

The soldiers on the city wall did not have the advantage of geographical location, screamed miserably, were hit by arrows one after another, fell down the city wall, and were trampled down by ploughing oxen. Blood splashed, flames roasted flesh, and heart-rending screams were like purgatory on earth.

There was another crash car from behind, hitting the city wall vigorously, making a devastating sound of "boom", and people's hearts were also shaken with the city wall.

Noah was also frightened, the other party was planning to completely destroy the city wall and really attack.

The soldiers defending the city followed one after another, and some people kept falling, and the rest of the people were also frightened in the face of locusts and arrow feathers, and hid under the city walls, without the strength to fight back at all.

The situation is once again critical.
