But at this moment, a scream sounded as if it was about to tear the sky.

Dozens of large stone throwers on the dirt hill below bloomed with dazzling white light at the same time, and the springs and throwing rods burst out with great force, driving huge stones into the sky.

The phantom shadow of the mountain appeared, and the boulders flying all over the sky seemed to be like a mountain ravine, rushing down towards the city.

"This is ......" Huang Xudao said in shock: "Trebuchet warfare - Lianshan ......"

Siege weapons are the rarest, and most of them are rushing vehicles, such as "city gate blasting".

In the whole of Middle-earth, there will be no more than three people with trebuchet warfare.

I didn't expect there to be one in the shrine.

"The generals of all departments are ready to sense the city protection array with their minds and balance the impact force!" Huang Xudao shouted: "You must resist it, if the city protection array collapses, Anxiang City will be finished!"

The shadow of the mountain and the boulder bombarded down, and the stone exploded on its own, sending blade-like stone flakes flying all over the sky.

At this time, the city defense array should have been launched to protect the soldiers at the head of the city. However, Huang Xudao and the others controlled the big array and gave up protection.

With the flesh and blood of soldiers, and the power of the law of war.

The women's wall crumbled with the roar of the boulder, the arrow tower collapsed weakly, and the energy storm swept away, and the soldiers screamed in the smoke and dust, and then turned into flesh and mud all over the ground.

When the light of the tactics faded, I saw that the city was in shambles, several giant crossbows were destroyed, the boiling oil pan exploded, the hot oil burned directly on the city because of the high temperature, the soldiers were strewn corpses all over the ground, and the wounded let out a desperate groan.

The moats crumbled in many places, and the immensely strong city walls were torn open with several shocking cracks that ran straight down, not to mention the potholes that had been smashed out of the city's head.

At least hundreds of people died as a result of this bombardment, basically all soldiers, soldiers and militiamen. Three times as many were injured.

Most of the people had long since been evacuated from the back gate of the city, leaving only a few people who helped with the work.

Huang Xudao and several lieutenants looked at each other, and their eyes looked sad.

They are known for cherishing their soldiers on weekdays, but they have to sacrifice the lives of their soldiers to maintain such a dead thing as the formation.

This is a last resort choice, with the current situation of the city protection array, if the hard engagement method "Lianshan", the energy cannot be balanced, and it will collapse violently.

It will take half a month to repair the collapsed city protection array...... By then, I'm afraid the enemy will be in charge of repairing it.

Huang Xudao hurriedly ordered the reserves to throw themselves into the city to fill the gap. The militia went up one after another to extinguish the raging fire burning in the city, removed the rubble, corpses and the remains of the destroyed crossbows and other defenses at the head of the city, and moved spare crossbows and boiling oil pans to the head of the city.

In the midst of this chaos, his command was still orderly, making sharp judgments between breaths, waving flags in his hands like lightning, so that orders could be clearly seen everywhere in the city.

And the adjutant and junior officers can also grasp his intentions very well and respond most effectively.

Although Li Qing, the first generation of male lords, has been dead for a full twenty years, the powerful retainers and elite soldiers he left behind are still the most valuable wealth of the Three Rivers Sword Sect.

However, Anxiang City suffered this tactical blow, and the Shentang army under the city immediately took the opportunity to regroup and continue to attack the city. The surprise attack opportunity created by the Phoenix Void Dao with the archer battle method "Flame Blood Phoenix" was wiped out in an instant.

The sound of golden drums continued, and the scorching sun gradually turned westward, and then fell into the distant horizon. The Shentang army finally retreated back to the camp like a tide, leaving corpses on the field.

......

Su Mengzhen stood proudly in the big tent of the Chinese army, even when he was marching and fighting, he was not wearing armor, he was wearing a green robe, like a scribe.

Of course, in fact, he wore close-fitting soft armor inside his robe, and he had led the troops for many years, no matter how high Su Mengzhen's cultivation was, he would not give up the protection of his body for the sake of image.

"The city of peace is about to be destroyed. Su Mengzhen glanced at the people below and said firmly.

looked at Su Can again and said, "Your brother did a good job." ”

When Su Can heard this, he immediately responded: "Father is right. ”

But there was a feeling of unhappiness in my heart.

Su Guang and Su Can are both the sons of Su Mengzhen's cousin Su Mu.

Because Su Mu had no children, he passed his two sons to Su Mengzhen as adopted sons, and he adopted a young man named Shi Xinqing as his heir.

Later, on the Han River, Su Mu was killed by Xue Yiren, the head of Tianzi Peak, in order to cover Su Mengzhen's retreat. Su Can and Su Guang intended to compete for the position of the heir of the Divine Hall, but neither of them was willing to return to Mianchi City, and Su Mu's Mianchi City was inherited by Shi Xinqing.

This time, Su Mengzhen instigated the mountain barbarians in the Xiangyang area to revolt, and it was Su Guanglai who carried out it, and successfully caused the mountain barbarians to swarm on all sides and dragged down a large number of troops in Sanhe.

The Sanhe Sword Sect is full of talents, but the Shentang also has an excellent team, and they are not afraid of the world-famous Sanhe elite soldiers.

But for Su Can, Wu Feng naturally made him hate him to the core, and his brother Su Guang was also his competitor. Su Guang made meritorious contributions, and he was not very happy after all.

Su Mengzhen said to Wu Feng again: "Feng'er, what do you think?"

Wu Feng's position was closest to him, showing that the identity of the heir of the Divine Hall was unique.

Wu Feng stood up proudly and said, "Three deliberate defeats have a great impact on morale. Now that we have been attacking fiercely for several days, our casualties are not light, and the hot weather has further affected the fighting spirit of our army, which needs to be paid attention to. ”

When Lin Xiuzhen heard this, she stood up immediately, pointed at Wu Feng and said, "Wu Feng, as the heir of the Divine Hall, but on the good day when you were about to break through the enemy city, you put this nonsense and disturbed the morale of the army......

Su Mengzhen glanced at Lin Xiuzhen coldly, which made Lin Xiuzhen's body tremble and immediately silenced.

He said with his hand: "Feng'er is right, as the so-called person who travels a hundred miles is half ninety, the more on the eve of victory, the more you can't relax." ”

"You have to pay close attention to the situation in your department and try to boost your morale. During this time, meat is double-rated, but no alcohol is allowed and no female music is allowed. ”

Su Mengzhen suddenly smiled: "My shrine conducts conquest with benevolence and virtue, and does not set up prostitutes. After the victory, the soldiers were given money and drinks, and they were allowed to live happily. ”

It is impossible to make soldiers willing to fight hard only by relying on slogans such as hanging the people and killing crimes, and there must be practical benefits. However, Su Mengzhen has been doing good governance for more than 20 years, and the Shentang can be said to be full of warehouses, although it is a mobilization of tens of thousands of troops, not only is there enough food and grass and military resources, but everyone's benefits are also affordable.

He waved his hand: "All the generals go back to their camps." Count the days, and it's time for reinforcements from Mikawa to arrive. Beware of robbing the camp. ”

Lin Xiuzhen and Su Can both faintly cast resentful glances at Wu Feng, and then walked out of the tent.

Wu Feng still had that leisurely look, and he was arrogant without saying anything, as if he didn't put anything in his eyes.
