Chapter Eighty-Seven: Attacking the City Again

Rushing to the main watchtower on the city wall against the rain of arrows, looking at the lord of the Northern Xuan Kingdom standing at the head of the city like a mountain, Long Ji (ju) was also hot in his eyes, as if he had found the backbone of the main heart, and he snorted softly.

"Father-in-law!"

Listening to the young man's soft call, the Lord of the Northern Xuan Kingdom, Yue Xingtian, who stood like a mountain at the head of the city to supervise the battle, also trembled slightly, and then, the blood qi all over his body was violently shocked, and the scope of the blood qi shield was even wider, enveloping the young man in it, helping him block the attack of the arrow rain that was shooting from the sky, and at the same time said softly.

"Besides, are you alright?

Hearing the voice of Yue Xingtian with a hint of concern, the young man also felt warm in his heart, and slowly walked to Yue Xingtian's side and said softly.

"Father-in-law, I'm fine. ”

After a pause, the boy said again with a hint of trilling.

"Soldiers...... The soldiers have decided to fight with Bazhou and Beixuan...... Co-exist and die!"

Listening to the slight tremor in the young man's slightly immature voice, the body of the Northern Xuan Kingdom Lord Yue Xingtian couldn't help but tremble slightly, and there was a little bit of decay in his eyes, and he sighed.

"Hehe, it seems that Bazhou will be broken, and Beixuan will be destroyed......! The king of the dead country, the king of the dead country!"

Listening to the unconcealable decadence in Yue Xingtian's voice, Long Ji's heart tightened, and there were tears flashing in his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said stubbornly.

"Father-in-law, no, only if you don't fall, Bei Xuan will not be considered dead, if you ...... If you really can't do anything, you can take the spirit sister and withdraw for the time being. Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, in the coming day, we may not have the opportunity to make a comeback and restore the country. ”

He didn't answer, but the piece on the surface of the moon punishment sky had already shown his attitude, and he turned his head and asked softly again.

"Well, then, generalissimo, have they thought of any way to retreat from the enemy?"

Hearing this, Long Ji hesitated for a moment, a flash of struggle flashed, and then, after glancing at the Moon Xingtian in front of him, he gritted his teeth and said slowly.

"Generalissimo, they...... They proposed that the father-in-law agree to the harmony of the Great Zhou and ensure that my Beixuan would not be destroyed!"

After hearing the young man's words with a little hesitation and struggle, Yue Xingtian also smiled bitterly again, and said in a low tone.

"Heh, sure enough, now, if you want to keep my Beixuan immortal, there is only one way!"

"That'...... Thy Father, thy ...... What do you mean?"

The young man in front of him, staring at the Beixuan Kingdom Lord who stood like a mountain in front of him, asked in a slightly trembling and nervous tone.

Hearing Long He's cautious question, Yue Xingtian did not answer directly, but closed his eyes slightly and pondered, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and there was a touch of misery in his eyes, and after taking a deep breath, he said decisively.

"I, Beixuan, only have heroes who died in battle, and there are no cowards who are close to each other!"

After saying this, Yue Xingtian seemed to have emptied most of his body's strength, and the majestic blood and qi that permeated his body were all slightly stagnant, with a slight sense of decline.

Greetings, Yue Xingtian turned his head to look at the young commander in front of him in a dejected tone, and slowly stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood oozing from the wound on Long He's face that had been cut by a sharp arrow, and said in a low voice.

"Besides, the destruction of Bazhou City is a foregone conclusion, when the city is broken, you will escape with Ling'er, find a place to hide and live in seclusion, don't talk about the extravagant hope of recovering the country, my father-in-law only hopes that you will live happily. ”

"No, my father, I ......"

"Okay, then, my father-in-law knows what you want to say, but ......"

Shaking his head slowly, Yue Xingtian stopped what the young man wanted to say urgently, and continued to whisper.

"The city of Bazhou is broken, the fall of Beixuan is irreversible, the father-in-law, as the lord of the Beixuan country, is impossible to abandon the Beixuan and flee, Bazhou is here, Beixuan is here, the father-in-law is here, Bazhou is broken, Beixuan is destroyed, and the father-in-law is shameless to live in the world. ”

"Er'er, my father-in-law knows that you like Ling'er, and Ling'er's girl also likes you, so my father-in-law handed her over to you, I hope you can take good care of her in the future instead of your father-in-law, and don't let him be wronged? ”

"No!"

Gritting his teeth and shaking his head heavily, the young man who was still stubborn and tenacious in the face of the siege of thousands of barbarian armies, at this time, there were rare tears in the corners of his eyes, and he shook his head stubbornly.

"No, father-in-law, and my son is willing to be like my father-in-law, living and dying with Beixuan!"

"Confused!"

With a roar, Yue Xingtian said in a deep voice.

"And, now that my father-in-law has ignored hundreds of thousands of Beixuan people, I just hope that you can take Ling'er to live a good life, don't you even want to satisfy your father-in-law's last trace of selfishness?"

"My father-in-law is now ashamed to be the lord of the Northern Xuan Kingdom, is it ...... Do you still want to see your stepfather a failed father?"

"Could it be that the city of Bazhou is broken, don't you know what will happen to Ling'er, and son, this is a begging of your father-in-law, okay?"

"No, father-in-law...... Father-in-law, son, son......"

"Knock! knock!"

Suddenly, the earth-shaking barbarian war drums rang out again, and a vast layer of blood seemed to float between the heavens and the earth, shrouding the head of Bazhou City.

"Kill!"

When I turned my head, I saw that the dense barbarian army was swarming towards Bazhou City again like ants out of its hole, and all the Bazhou defenders rushed to the city wall one after another, looking down nervously.

I saw that under the city, the yellow sand was rolling, and the vast expanse, the barbarian soldiers at this time did not scatter and attack the city like a swarm of bees, but changed their tactics, and hundreds of people were in a group, attacking the city alternately.

In the dense barbarian army, dozens of rudimentary siege chariots were slowly pushed out, apparently made of giant logs that had been improvised from the surrounding mountains.

These siege chariots were extremely tall, with huge wooden supports on all sides, about several zhang high, almost no less than the Bazhou city wall, with a platform on top, surrounded by a wooden fence, and a larger square platform below, shaped like a wooden house, which was unusually strong.

Two rows of huge wooden wheels were exposed on the side, and in front of the car hung a whole sheet of unnitrated wild cowhides, which were so tough that ordinary bows and arrows could hardly shoot through them.

Moreover, in order to prevent the defenders from destroying the siege vehicles by fire attack, these barbarians also poured a layer of mud on the outside of the car, which was a siege weapon of the barbarians.

At this time, these brutes are hiding behind these giant siege vehicles, or standing on the platforms on the siege vehicles, and shoot arrows into the city.

Under the car, the rough-skinned brute bear soldiers pushed the siege chariot slowly towards Bazhou City, and countless other barbarian soldiers also hid behind the car and fired arrows to suppress Bazhou City.

......

The scorching sun is rising, but in the air, there is a dazzling cold light of guns and arrows shining everywhere, which makes people not only not have a trace of warmth in their hearts, but a chill in their hearts.

On the upper floor, looking at the barbarian army slowly attacking with the siege chariot, Long Ji didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly yelled at the Beixuan generals.

"Quick, smash those siege chariots with catapults!"

Immediately, all the Beixuan soldiers who seemed to be a little flustered and frightened moved according to the order, frantically stirring the catapults placed at the head of the city, projecting huge stones one by one, and smashing them into the huge siege vehicles.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The giant catapult fired a huge stone projectile, which accurately landed on several of the siege vehicles, and suddenly, these siege vehicles were smashed to pieces, and dozens of wolf soldiers hiding on the siege platform were also smashed by the boulders, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

The huge bracket staggered and fell, killing more than a dozen brute bear soldiers who had no time to escape, and then, a fierce rain of arrows came and shot the exposed brute soldiers one by one under the city of Bazhou.

However, every time the catapult fires a round of stone projectiles, it needs to go through a long time of loading process, and the barbarians under the city are also constantly firing arrows to fight back, suppressing the defenders of the city, so during this period of time, this group of barbarians has pushed the siege vehicle to the city of Bazhou.

Countless barbarian soldiers poured out from behind the siege chariots like ants, shouting and roaring, carrying dozens of ladders to the city wall of Bazhou, climbing up frantically.

And farther away, standing on the main watchtower at the head of the city, the Moon Punishment Heaven and the Dragon saw that the barbarian army was slowly separated, and thousands of barbarian wolf soldiers launched new siege weapons one after another.

"Not good!"

Seeing the new siege equipment launched by this group of wolf soldiers, the dragon on the watchtower also exclaimed, and then gritted his teeth with an ugly face.

"It's a siege crossbow, this group of barbarians actually brought a siege crossbow, father, take care, and go down to command the battle. ”

After speaking, Long Ji didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly ran down the watchtower and went to the city wall to command the Beixuan soldiers to defend against the barbarians from the next more terrifying siege situation.

......

Sitting firmly on top of the barbarian elephant, looking at the siege situation of the barbarian army in front of him with a cold and cold light, the face of the commander of the rhino demon clan was difficult to look at little by little.

Because he found that the barbarian army that had been invincible in the past had suffered a lot of casualties under this small Bazhou city.

It wasn't until he saw his barbarians re-launch the siege crossbow that his face looked a little better, but he still said coldly to the barbarian commanders beside him.

"Hmph, a small Bazhou City can stop my rhino demon army for so long, it seems that you commanders are going back more and more!"

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is angry, and he will be convicted of his guilt!"

After seeing the anger of the second prince of the rhino demon clan, several barbarian commanders knelt on the ground in fear and said worriedly.

"Hmph, I don't care so much, pass on my general order, before dark, you must break through Bazhou and capture Princess Beixuan into my tent, otherwise, you will wait to see you!"

After speaking, the second prince of the rhino demon clan commander did not listen to the explanations of these commanders under him, but after snorting coldly, he rode the barbarian elephant under him and returned to the handsome tent behind him, leaving behind the many barbarian generals with panicked faces in front of him.

After the second prince of the rhino demon clan left, these barbarian generals stood up in a little fright, and they all involuntarily wiped the cold sweat on their faces, and then looked at the sky, and noticed that there were still a few hours before it was dark, and a barbarian ape general gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Use the siege crossbow, step on the arrows, at any cost, before dark, be sure to break through Bazhou for me!"

"Another ......"

After a pause, the brute general shouted coldly again.

"Order, the first to break through the Bazhou, promoted to centurion, rewarded 100 slaves, and siege the city!"

......

......

......

(Note: Bazhou is to Beixuan, just as Anqing was to Nanjing in ancient China, and is its most important barrier.)

In the Qing Dynasty Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zeng Guoquan, the younger brother of Zeng Guofan, was ordered to exterminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, besieged Anqing for more than three months, and finally broke.

In fact, at this time, Nanjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, did not fall, but once Anqing was breached, the Hunan army only needed to go down the river, and the door of Nanjing would be opened, and it would be broken!

So Beixuan Bazhou is the same for Beixuan, once Bazhou is broken, Beixuan will die!)

(In addition, let me tell you a little more about the anecdotes, during the Battle of Anqing, Zeng Guoquan once got the title of a shaver, but this shaving head is not a shaved hair, but a real shaved head.)

After the Hunan army broke through Anqing, Ye Yunlai, the chief general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, led more than 16,000 officers and soldiers to surrender. However, Zeng Guoquan ordered the surrendered Taiping soldiers to be divided into groups of 100 people, and asked them to enter the house in turn to collect the road fee, and after entering the house, they were tied up by knife and axe hands, escorted out through the back door and beheaded, and cut down for a whole day and night, killing more than 10,000 people. Since then, Zeng Guoquan has also earned the nickname of "head shaver". All I can say about this is that it's terrifying!)
