Chapter 236: Trouble

Cui Daozhu seems to be in love with this night attack. Xu Han, who had just fallen asleep that evening, was awakened by the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound from the direction of the city gate, and the fire lingered at the head of the city, and the people of Henghuang City walked out of the door at that time, standing outside the house and watching nervously in the direction of the city. The streets were full of soldiers hurrying to the city gates.

Although he expected Cui Ting at the beginning, or that the Senluo Hall behind Cui Ting must have something to hide, the other party's choice to attack the city that night still surprised Xu Han.

Li Ru brought 120,000 Shengyang troops, but the real army of a hundred battles, plus the soldiers and horses collected from the cities of Yanzhou, at this moment in the Henghuang City gathered a full 250,000 troops. And if Li Ru's armor hadn't been mistaken this morning, Cui Ting's hands would have been full of only 50,000 troops at the moment, and with the high walls of the Henghuang City, Xu Han really couldn't imagine what Cui Ting would do to argue with the Henghuang City.

But these are not things that Xu Han needs to worry about, in fact, he has bigger troubles to deal with.

"Aren't we going to take a look?" Chu Qiuli, who was also awakened by such a strange movement, approached Xu Han and asked quite excitedly.

This middle-aged man Rao is at this time, but he can't change his temperament of liking to join in the fun.

Hearing this, Xu Han turned his head and glanced at everyone, except for Yan Qi, who suddenly left with Xue Ning for some reason a few days ago, everyone was standing beside Xu Han at this moment, and they all focused their eyes on Xu Han's body, he tilted his head and thought about it, and nodded suddenly: "Brother Chu will go and see if you want to see it, remember to be careful in everything." ”

"Haole!" Chu Qiuli, who had received permission, grinned and was about to leave with everyone, but as if he suddenly thought of something, the step stopped again, he looked at Xu Han suspiciously and asked, "Aren't you going?"

Xu Han shook his head with a smile, yawned again, and said: "If the 50,000 army wants to shake the Henghuang City, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, what is there to see? I am too tired after being busy these days, I want to take a rest." ”

Chu Qiuli and the others are probably simple people with a single brain, and when they heard Xu Han's words, they didn't doubt him, and after answering one after another, they left in groups with great interest, only the leaf red note stood in place, and there was no intention of half-separating.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Xu Han was slightly stunned when he saw this, but quickly came back to his senses.

Ye Hongjian pursed his lips and smiled at him, and said, "I don't think it's good to look at either." ”

Xu Han was dumbfounded, he probably read out from the teasing smile on Ye Hongjian's face that his abacus had been recognized by Ye Hongjian. But he didn't seem to want to give up, and said, "Actually..."

"Nothing. But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ye Hongjian, only to see the girl step forward and stand in front of Xu Han. She tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and whispered, "I already missed it last time in Chang'an, and this time, I don't want to miss it again." ”

Xu Han's face changed, he knew what Ye Hongjian was referring to, and he also understood that it was not easy to deceive her with Ye Hongjian's ice and snow intelligence, so he simply stretched out his hand and held Ye Hongjian's hand.

He then looked directly into those bright eyes, and finally nodded and said, "Okay." ”

......

Li Moding stood at the head of the Henghuang City, looking at the black-armored soldiers under the city who were almost integrated with the night outside the city gate, he frowned and asked, "What are they going to do?"

Li Ru, who was standing beside him, glanced sideways at Li Moding when he heard this, but did not speak.

Li Moding felt this, he was a little displeased, of course, more embarrassed - because the gaze handed from Li Ru's eyes was full of disdain, as if he was mocking how ignorant Li Moding was to ask this question.

Li Moding calculated carefully, since the eighth son took over the throne in the past thirty years, he and this brother have not seen each other for thirty years. Where he is and what he is doing is an unsolved mystery, and there have even been many rumors that Li Ru has been secretly executed by Li Yulin. After all, Li Ru had participated in the battle for the succession, and for any emperor, such a person was an existence that he did not want to be seen.

But thirty years later, when Li Ru appeared in front of everyone's eyes again, he had already become the commander of the most powerful and mysterious Holy Yang Army in Great Xia. This was greatly unexpected by everyone, and of course Li Moding was also included among these people.

But unlike everyone, Li Moding was more surprised than surprised.

As Li Wenjing's youngest son, Li Moding was only ten years old thirty years ago, so he naturally did not have the ability or heart to participate in such a melee. He was originally born by Li Wenjing who was drunk and fortunate to be a palace maid one day, and his status in the royal family has always been low. And in his childhood memories of being repeatedly blinded, only Li Yulin and Li Ru were waiting for him, so after seeing Li Ru, he intended to get close, but the other party treated him coldly everywhere, which made Li Moding uncomfortable, but also a little confused, and of course, the anger that inevitably piled up in his heart.

And these, he naturally can't choose from.

Boom! Boom!

At this time, there was a muffled sound from under the city.

Li Moding had to suppress the troubled thoughts in his heart, and looked at the place with deep eyes, but saw those armor soldiers pushing huge iron and stone catapults to the front of Henghuang City at that time.

"Could it be that they want to use this thing to break through the Henghuang City?" someone said at the moment, and his tone was full of shameful laughter.

An appliance like a catapult may be useful against an ordinary city, but it is not worth mentioning in front of the Henghuang City, which is more than dozens of feet high, not to mention that even if this catapult is different and can throw boulders onto the Henghuang City, they still have the Holy Yang Army.

However, the person who said this quickly fell silent, because Li Ru threw a cold gaze at him at that time, and his heart was shocked to know that he had angered the military discipline of this prince of the Li family, and he immediately fell silent.

Then Li Ruyou turned his head to look at the herald behind him, the herald understood instantly, he nodded, raised the command flag in his hand, waved it in a specific pattern, and shouted loudly: "Prepare for the stabbing camp!"

As soon as this sound fell, hundreds of armorers dressed in iron armor and with a cold moon blade in each hand stepped out at that time, and came to various parts of the city wall.

At the same time, iron balls the size of one zhang were pushed onto the catapult by the armorers under Cui Ting, and it was not difficult to see from their slow movements that the weight of these iron balls was extremely heavy.

"Release!" With the roar of the herald under the city, the iron arms of those catapults waved, and the huge iron balls were thrown high under the wave of the iron arm, and they smashed towards the Henghuang City at high speed.

Hundreds of iron balls also smashed into the Henghuang City at such a fast speed, such a scene can certainly be called spectacular. And at the head of the city, the civil and military officials who were called supervising the battle, and in fact, could only watch the battle, most of them were cold-faced when they saw this scene, and it turned out that they overestimated the city height of the Henghuang City after all, and also underestimated Cui Ting, who dared to come to attack the city with 50,000.

Some people have already urged the true yuan around them, and some people have begun to hug their heads and run away.

But the leader of the Holy Yang Army frowned, and he was a little puzzled, wondering if Cui Ting was really so stupid...

The huge iron ball soon came to the head of the Henghuang City, and with their rapid falling speed, it was afraid that it would fall in a few breaths, and at this moment, the hundreds of fierce thorn warriors holding the moon blade flew out one after another, meeting the roaring iron ball.

Swish!

Then several cold rays of light flashed, and the moon blades in their hands were swung by them at a rapid speed, cutting cold rays in mid-air.

Clang!

With the sound of the gold and stone colliding, under the surprised gaze of everyone, those huge iron balls were actually cut by the moon blade at that time and turned into pieces.

There was a sudden exclamation from the crowd who witnessed this scene, but before such an exclamation could fall, the exclamation turned into horror.

Because among those broken iron balls, one after another figures suddenly burst out of the iron balls, their speed was extremely fast, and they killed the armor soldiers at the head of the city in an instant, and the well-trained Holy Yang Army could naturally deal with it calmly, but those ordinary armor soldiers were obviously shocked by such a change, and hundreds of people died tragically under the hands of those figures who rushed out.

It was only at the end of this first confrontation that the people could see through the beacon fire at the head of the city, which were humanoids covered in purple scale armor, with fangs and terrifying barbs. It looks hideous and terrifying, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Rao is Li Ru was also shocked after seeing the appearance of these monsters, but those monsters obviously did not digest the horror for everyone, and after they landed, they let out a sharp roar, and then pounced on the people around them in no order.

For a while, the head of the Henghuang City was full of killings, and the armor soldiers under the city had already finished loading the second round of iron balls and were ready to go...

......

"It seems that Cui Dazhu is not as easy to deal with as he imagined. Ye Hongjian, who was sitting at the gate of the mansion, looked sideways at the direction of the city head where the fire was lingering, and said to Xu Hanyan beside him.

Xu Han, who was stroking the little guy's hair while holding Xuan'er in his arms, reached out and brushed the hair on Xuan'er's back, grabbed a black flea from it, and said without raising his head: "Cui Ting should not be underestimated, and the Senluo Hall behind him should not be underestimated." ”

Ye Hongjian blinked his eyes and asked, "Then the Henghuang City can't hold it?"

Xu Han pulled out a flea from Xuan'er's hair again, and responded lightly in his mouth: "Then it depends on how capable Li Ru is, if he can delay it for a while, maybe there will be a turnaround." ”

"Hmm, you mean that the army of King Qin who stayed up until the states and counties arrived?" Ye Hongjian asked again.

Xu Han smiled, he shook his head, and suddenly stood up.

He put down the Xuan'er in his arms, looked up at the sky in the distance, and said, "It won't take that long..."

He paused, his eyes narrowing suddenly.

"It's good to stay up until I solve the problem in front of me. ”

Ye Hongjian was stunned when she heard this, she seemed to sense something, and hurriedly followed Xu Han's gaze.

I saw that in the distant night, there were several figures dragging the black qi in the sky and quickly escaping towards here...
