After a three-hour rapid march, Lin Yun led the green battalion and the remnants of the soldiers who joined on the way to arrive at Pingyang City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pingyang City belongs to the military town, although it is not big, but the city wall is high and thick, there are a lot of defense materials in the city, as long as it is used reasonably, it is not difficult to resist the Red ** soldiers.

Lin Yun was wearing a set of general armor, standing on the city wall, looking into the distance, this set of general armor was on the way to Pingyang City, lying on the body of a dead Yuanfu Realm general.

The purpose of this is to gather more remnants, the number of troops under the command of the generals of the Great Zhou Empire is not fixed, but according to the situation, there are more or less soldiers, less than two battalions of soldiers, a total of 1,000 people, more than 10 battalions of soldiers, or even dozens of battalions of soldiers, the number can exceed 10,000 people.

The reason why the general has such military power is mainly because the identity of the general is very special in the Great Zhou Empire, and usually if you want to be promoted to a general, the most direct way is to become a martial artist through martial arts, but the minimum standard for a martial artist is the Yuanfu realm, that is, the general must be a martial artist in the Yuanfu realm.

After becoming a martial artist, you can become a general only after passing the assessment of the military lecture hall and meeting the comprehensive ability standard.

In addition, there is another way to become a general, that is, the relatives of the emperor, or the descendants of the third duke, such a child does not need to reach the Yuanfu realm, and it is a shortcut to become a general by virtue of family strength.

Therefore, the person who becomes a general is either unquestionable in strength or has a deep family background.

After all, the Central Plains Dynasty paid the most attention to etiquette and humility, with many rules and strict ranks, and ordinary people were extremely servile.

Through this general's armor, Lin Yun gathered 3,000 soldiers on the way to Pingyang City, and these soldiers were divided into six battalions by Lin Yun, and the original head of the green battalion was the commander.

As soon as he arrived in Pingyang City, Lin Yun immediately ordered all the people in the city to evacuate, and gathered all the materials in the city to become military supplies, and sent two battalions of soldiers to take Pingyang City as the center to find the surrounding villages, dismiss the names of these villages, and also collect the food of this village, some of the food that could not be taken away, or the vegetables and fruits that had no time to pick, were directly burned by fire.

The killing pass is already outside the pass, the climate here is cold, the land is barren, the population is sparse, and there is only one city in Pingyang City nearby, so Lin Yun decided to clear the wilderness and prepare to rely on the strong city and the red ** soldiers to fight a protracted war.

The people in the city, as well as the villagers in the surrounding villages, were forcibly driven away by Lin Yun, and told them to go south into the pass, or hide in the mountains, and told them that as soon as the army of Chiyan arrived, all the men were killed, and the women were thrown into the barracks and humiliated repeatedly.

When the villagers left, the soldiers would burn down the entire village and engage in scorched earth warfare.

At dusk, after hundreds of Chiyan squads repeatedly interspersed with the Great Zhou army, which had been completely chaotic and became a plate of scattered sand, the Chiyan army finally launched a general offensive to completely defeat the 200,000 elites of the Great Zhou Dynasty with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying.

At the same time, a team of more than 1,000 people appeared in Pingyang City, and launched several feints on Pingyang City, but seeing that Pingyang City was well defended, finally this cavalry of more than 1,000 people gave up the strong attack and began to circle around the city wall.

Lin Yun looked at the red ** soldiers who were holding torches and circling around Pingyang City, and ordered with an expressionless face: "Pass the order, except for a small number of soldiers defending the city, the rest of the soldiers will rest!"

Lin Yun understood that the early Chiyan Iron Cavalry was brave and good at fighting, good at riding and shooting, and could shoot arrows with a bow while riding on horseback, and easily shoot the enemy within 100 meters, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a hundred steps through Yang.

However, for siege warfare, he is not good at it, especially the siege equipment is very single, so the red-faced iron cavalry of more than 1,000 people is waiting for the arrival of the main force, and then carry out an all-out attack.

At dawn, the Chiyan Iron Cavalry gathered under the city had reached 5,000 people, although according to the offensive and defensive sides, the battle ratio, the 5,000 Chiyan people to attack the city defended by 3,000 people, it was obviously not enough, but the brave and good fighting Chiyan people were one hundred.

"General, what is that?" A commander standing next to Lin Yun pointed into the distance, only to see a group of ragged people, whose hands were tied with a piece of hemp rope, strung together, these people were men and women, old and young.

There were little girls of five or six years old, old people in their prime, women in disheveled clothes who had been violently assaulted, and some babies who were sucking breast milk in their mothers' arms.

"What are these Chiyan people going to do?" The soldiers on the city wall looked at the people of the Great Zhou who were getting closer and closer in confusion, these people were all captured by the Chiyan Iron Cavalry, and there were many prisoners of war among them.

"Whoa,,," A strange cry of excitement sounded in the red-faced iron cavalry, and these cavalry began to be a little restless.

"All pay attention, be ready to attack at any time!" Lin Yun looked at the restless red-faced iron horseman, and then looked at these Great Zhou people who were tied together, the expression on his face was still indifferent, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Siege!" "The general in the red-faced iron cavalry finally issued the siege order.

A heavy solid wood more than ten meters long and suspended on a steel frame was slowly pushed out, which was a siege weapon - a siege cone.

The siege cone was slowly pushed towards the city gate under the support of the Chiyan army, and on both sides of the siege cone were the Chiyan soldiers, and the civilians and prisoners of war whose hands were tied were arranged next to the Chiyan soldiers, as a cover, so that the defending army could throw rats.

Seeing these poor compatriots, the soldiers defending the city, their faces were extremely ugly, especially when they saw those former comrades-in-arms, and the babies in their mother's arms, these soldiers hesitated.

"Pass the order, attack indiscriminately, and if there is disobedience, kill immediately!" Lin Yun's deep and penetrating voice sounded on the city wall, his tone full of firmness and inviolability.

With Lin Yun's order, the soldiers defending the city, who had already been ready to attack, immediately attacked the Chiyan army and the people of the Great Zhou below, and carried out indiscriminate attacks, one after another, with the sound of breaking the sky, like raindrops, fell in the crowd below.

Sharp stones were picked up by the soldiers and thrown under the city walls.

Barrels of boiling oil that were boiling on the fire were also pushed onto the city wall, and they were poured down on the red-faced soldiers and the people of the Great Zhou who were hitting the city gate with siege cones below, and there were immediately heart-rending screams and baby cries from below.

"Flame Rune Arrow, prepare!" Lin Yun shouted, his voice unexpectedly full of anger.

"Shoot!" Lin Yun roared again.

"Bang, bang, bang!" "Flame rune arrows made of saltpeter and sulfur through the Dao Gate, with fireworks, shot downwards and burst open.

The flames generated by the burst directly ignited the boiling oil on the ground, and immediately formed a sea of fire below.

Lin Yun looked at the screaming and chaotic red-faced soldiers and the people of the Great Zhou below, his face was still indifferent, he deeply understood that at this time, if it was the benevolence of the woman, he hesitated slightly, and when the army of Chiyan broke through the city, it was also the time when the people of the Great Zhou below would lose their usefulness.

The army of Chiyan has always been short of food, and there is simply not enough food to feed so many people, so they can only slaughter.

Not only will the people below be slaughtered, but Lin Yun and these thousands of soldiers will not escape their fate, as well as the few people in the city, this is war, there is no reason, no mercy, no victory, victory at all costs, otherwise there is only a dead end.
