Hundreds of steps away, Lin Ao was surprised in his heart.

"Lin Bijun, the morale of the thief seems to be very strong, the general will not retreat from the battle."

Jiang Yao, who was supervising the battle next to him, said with a somewhat yin and yang tone.

Lin Ao was like a man on his back, knowing that Li Li had ordered him to be the vanguard of the siege, but he had other intentions, but he was helpless, he secretly gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "Who have I ever been afraid of!" ”

With that, Lin Ao jumped off his horse, rushed to the drum formation in a few steps, and snatched a wooden hammer from a drummer.

He rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists and beat the drum vigorously, cheering for his subordinates.

The thousands of troops under his command saw Lin Ao personally beating drums for them, and they were inspired by this, their morale was greatly boosted, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, gradually suppressing the shouts of Xu Hanjun at the head of the city.

At the head of the city, the battle for the city has begun.

In the northern corner, a ladder with a hook and ladder was the first to take up the battlements, a long ladder with a scythe at the top, which could tightly hook the city wall.

As soon as Fang took over the city, the Yi army trapped the city with swords and shields, and climbed up bravely.

Xu Hanjun, who was defending the city, was also prepared, and Luo Shi, the size of a human head, roared down and smashed those Yi troops who couldn't dodge from the hook ladder.

In the midst of the terrible howl, an enemy with a broken name and blood fell from the city several feet high, and was smashed into a mess of bloody corpses.

On the front line of the moat, 500 crossbowmen, under the cover of the big shield hand, fired back at the defenders at the head of the city to suppress the defenders' counterattack.

In the dense rain of arrows, the outcropping soldiers of Xu were shot in the head, some fell to the city, and some fell to the bottom of the city, mixing with the corpses of the enemy.

Xu Han sat in the center of the city tower with a knife, unmoving, calmly commanding the battle.

In the north, under the powerful arrow attack of the Yi army, seven or eight Xu Han soldiers were shot down one after another, and the follow-up people were too late to make up for it, and the defensive position here was immediately weakened.

The attacking Yi army took advantage of the situation to climb quickly, and three or five Yi saber and shield bearers with vigorous archers swished up to the city.

Seeing this, Xu Han shouted: "Where is Cheng Ping, quickly give this general to kill the enemy who ascends the city on the north side!" ”

Cheng Ping, who was fighting from himself, simply took off his half-body armor, ran to the north side bare-chested, and dragged a big knife in his hand.

With a roar, the broadsword swept out like a wheel.

In a burst of clattering shields, several Yi soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were actually cut off alive.

Cheng Ping, who was furious, forced back the enemy who landed in the city with his own strength.

Then he thrust his broadsword into the ground, picked up the fork pole on the ground, and the muscles of his arms swelled and cracked, and pushed towards the hook ladder.

In the midst of the loud shouts, Cheng Ping rose up and took the hook ladder of seven or eight people, which was more than a few feet high, and forked it out alive.

With a burst of screams, the hook ladder staggered and fell, and the weight of several hundred catties smashed down, smashing most of the Yi army on the ground who had no time to dodge.

Most of those who were hit were killed on the spot, and several people were cut in two, and the broken places were full of flesh and blood, which was extremely tragic.

The first round of fierce attacks was blocked by Xu Han.

In the battle for half an hour, the Yi army suffered hundreds of casualties, and the blood actually dyed the earth-colored city wall red, and the corpses under the root of the city wall were also stacked high.

Lin Ao in the military formation, seeing that Shencheng was strong, Xu Han's defenders were quite tenacious, and he knew that with the current strength, he would not be able to conquer it at all.

Lin Ao didn't want his soldiers to die in vain, so he turned his horse and came to Jiang Yao, shouting: "The Xu army has already prepared, and if our army continues to attack, it will only damage the soldiers in vain. ”

"Collect troops?" Jiang Yao's nose curled, "It's only been half an hour before the troops were withdrawn, wouldn't it damage the morale of our army, General Lin Bi, are you afraid of that Xu Han, or do you have something else to think?" ”

Jiang Yao said something, but the implication was still that Lin Ao was unwilling to fight.

Lin Ao's eyebrows were deep, and his chest was extremely hot, but he could only grit his teeth secretly, and ordered the whole army not to retreat a step back and continue to attack.

The Yi army, which had been frustrated in the initial attack, could only muster up its morale and continue to step on the corpses of its companions and launch every two rounds of attacks towards Shencheng.

Xu Han on the head of the city, but still standing like a towering iron tower, the blade in his hand flashed with cold light, the red cloak hunted and hunted, and the big banner with the word "Xu" above his head flew proudly.

In the face of the second round of strong attack by the Yi army, Xu Han had no fear and continued to command the battle calmly.

One after another, the ladders were overturned, countless enemy soldiers fell to the city, and the wood and Luo stone, as well as the red-hot molten iron, kept throwing at the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, another half-hour bloody battle was fought, and this time, not even a single enemy could reach the top of the city.

Xu Han used hundreds of dead and wounded people to block the surging enemy under the city wall.

Suddenly, an arrow broke through the air and went straight for Xu Han.

Xu Han didn't move, only when the arrow was a stone's throw away, he tilted his head slightly, and the tiger's palm poked out like lightning.

That extremely powerful arrow was caught by his living volley.

The Yi army under the city wall was shocked when they saw Xu Han receiving arrows with his bare hands.

"Bring the bow!"

Xu Han shouted angrily and snatched a hard bow from one of his subordinates.

The bow is like a crescent moon, and the arrow is like a meteor.

That sharp arrow, like the smile of death, burst through the air.

"Poof!"

An arrow is in the middle of the arrow, impartial, right in the head.

Xu Han's magic shot, the soldiers at the head of the city were deeply encouraged, and they all cheered.

The morale of the Yi army under the city was frustrated, and they all showed fear.

The morale of the army was rising one after another, and the second round of attacks of the Yi army soon fell again.

Seeing this, Lin Ao, who was outside the city, knew that it would be useless to fight again, and he couldn't care about Jiang Yao's suspicions, so in the name of the main general, he ordered the whole army to withdraw his troops.

Seeing that the enemy army was retreating, Cheng Ping, who was covered in blood, shouted excitedly: "General, the enemy soldiers have retreated, why don't you take the opportunity to kill him out of the city and kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”

According to the current situation, Xu Han could have taken advantage of the victory to pursue.

However, Xu Han deliberately did not kill Lin Ao, so he wanted to leave some room for Lin Ao.

Moreover, although Lin Ao retreated, the team was in good order, obviously to prevent Xu Han from waving his army to take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing.

Thinking of this, Xu Han waved his hand and said: "No need to chase, the enemy of this general is not Lin Ao, save some strength and wait for a showdown tonight." ”

So Xu Han ordered the whole army not to pursue, and only used arrows to send off the defeated enemy.

In the early afternoon.

After leaving behind more than 700 corpses, the Yi army was all withdrawn.

The soldiers of the Yi army who won the bloody victory at the head of the city, waving their blood-stained weapons, cheered and relieved their pride.

There was a battle in the daytime, and it was already dark in the blink of an eye.

In the middle of the night, there was silence inside and outside Shencheng, and the two armies that had been resting on the big war seemed to be exhausted, and they were very tacitly resting and recuperating without harassing each other again.

When the moon passed in the middle of the sky, Xu Han came to a mansion in the northeast corner of Shencheng.

Soon after Xu Han's army captured Shencheng, this mansion was requisitioned on the grounds of military use, and there were about 500 soldiers, who had been working hard here for seven or eight days.

When they entered the mansion, more than 2,000 foot soldiers who had not participated in the battle this morning had been waiting for a long time.

Tang Mo was fully armed, standing in the center of the compound with a double halberd in his hand, and there was some inexplicable excitement on Yingwu's face.

Seeing that Xu Han arrived, Tang Mo hurriedly greeted him, and arched his hand: "General, everything is ready, just wait for the general's order!" ”

Xu Hanhuan glanced at his sergeants and nodded slightly.

Tang Mo then turned around and waved his hand to greet his subordinates.

Several soldiers hurriedly rushed to the center of the courtyard, and the straw mats laid in the center of the courtyard were all lifted.

A huge pit is impressively presented in front of you.

Inside the deep pit, there is a tunnel, and there is no end in sight.

This tunnel, which was excavated from within the city, leads to the main camp of the Yi army outside the city.

This tunnel is Xu Han's clever plan to break the enemy.

When Xu Han first occupied Shencheng and surveyed the terrain outside the city, he expected the place where the Yi army would camp, so he rushed to dig this tunnel in advance before the Yi army arrived.

As Xu Han expected, the place that Yi Jun chose was almost the same as he had previously speculated.

Li Li, who was in the main camp, never expected that under the camp where he was, there was a secret road leading directly into Shencheng.

Xu Han looked around at the soldiers, most of the soldiers used this time were Tang Moyuan's subordinates, and their faces were full of excitement at the moment.

It can be seen that their blood is boiling.

"Bring the wine!" Xu Han shouted.

Behind him, the pro-army, anxious to prepare the spirits that had been prepared, and distributed them to everyone.

Xu Han raised his glass, his eyes were full of excitement, and he said loudly: "Tonight, success or failure is in your hands, I will honor you with this cup, and we will win tomorrow, and we will not get drunk again!" ”

Drink it all.

"Bang!"

Xu Han slammed the wine glass that was not left on the ground and smashed it.

Everyone drank it all, imitating Xu Han, and smashed their wine glasses to the ground.

Inside the compound, the sound of clattering and cracking sounded into a messy sound, as if it was more inspiring than the sound of war drums.

After drinking the wine, Xu Han patted Tang Mo's shoulder and said solemnly: "Tang Mo, it's up to you, don't let Ben General down." ”

"General rest assured, I'd rather not disgrace my life!"

Tang Mo gave up his hand, and his heroic face was full of fortitude and confidence.

Xu Han nodded, and looked around at the army again, his knife-like eyes full of hunting pride.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Han waved his hand and said sharply: "The hour has come, and the raid team will set off." ”

Under the order, Tang Mo held a torch in one hand and a halberd in the other, and was the first to jump down the pit, only to look around, and then did not hesitate to burrow into the secluded tunnel.

The remaining 800 people jumped into the pit one after another, and they rushed into it without a moment's hesitation.

Xu Han watched the last raider enter the tunnel, and then turned his horse and rushed to the east gate of Shencheng.

At the gate of the city, the 500 Iron Floating Slaughterhouse was already in place.

Under the dark moon, the iron armor reflected the cold light, and the five hundred heavy knights were fully armed, like the ghost generals in the Netherworld Mansion.

After five hundred heavy cavalry, there are more than three thousand elite infantry troops, in addition to the divine riding horses, Xu Han's elite army has gathered.

Xu Han climbed to the top of the city and looked at the main camp of the Yi army on the northeast side of the city, where the lights were still bright, and Xu Han could even see the figure of the Yi sergeant on patrol outside the camp gate.

Li Li still has some ability to use soldiers, and with Jiang Yao's assistance, this camp is quite clever.

It seems that Li Li has been wary of Xu Han's robbery of the camp, and there are heavy antlers around the camp, and there are deep trenches dug in the camp, which can be described as impregnable.

"No matter how strong a fortress is, it will be easily attacked from the inside, my prince of Yiguo, I will teach you a good lesson tonight!"

The corners of Xu Han's mouth gradually sneered, and the murderous intent in his eyes was surging.

The soldiers behind him were not as confident as Xu Han, and the excited faces of these young people flashed a little uneasy.

Xu Han then asked the general to bring a few cases, boil a pot of wine, and he leaned against the city and tasted the wine leisurely.

Seeing that the Lord would be so idle and confident, the nervous hearts of the soldiers gradually calmed down.

Time passed minute by minute, and the short night seemed to be extremely long.
