When Cui He heard this, he secretly said that it was not good.

So he hurriedly said to Wei Ran: "Duke Qin must not act rashly, the thief army may move the ballista cart up the tall building and prepare to shoot Duke Qin." ”

Then Cui He summoned the soldiers and ordered them to quickly take control of the nearby houses, high points.

"Zhou Xun didn't retreat before, maybe he was building a ballista, preparing to shoot Qin Gong. Duke Qin has a grudge against Zhou Xun for killing his father, and now he should do whatever he wants to do. Therefore, Qin Gong must not be moved lightly."

Seeing that Wei Ran was a little unimpressed, Cui He hurriedly said: "Has Duke Qin forgotten the wolf's tooth arrow!" If you are in danger, how can I explain to my wife! ”

Wei Ran paid attention to it at this time, but asked again: "I don't know where this crossbow is now, how about it?" ”

"Let people wear the armor of a general and ride into the city. Even Zhou Xun has never seen the appearance of a general, so he must only be based on his usual characteristics. ”

After Cui Huan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wei Ran to object, summoned a soldier, ordered him to put on Wei Ran's armor and spear, and led the soldiers to advance slowly.

Wei Ran couldn't bear it, and said to Cui He: "If this is the case, wouldn't this soldier die in vain, and the lives of civilians are also lives." ”

Cui He said angrily: "If the general wants to sweep the world and level the world, he shouldn't have such a woman's kindness." If this soldier is lucky enough not to die, he will be an official, which is the will of God. ”

Zhou Xun was besieged outside the East Gate at the moment, tens of thousands of people were compressed in the East Gate area, and Zhou Xun's bandit combat effectiveness could only bully and bully the county soldiers, and even Zang Hong's Minzhou army could not defeat it.

After a while, there was a burst of laughter: "Zhou Xunxiaoer, your father Zang and I are here again." ”

Zhou Xunzhi's soldiers were frightened when they heard Zang Hong's voice.

Zhou Xun saw that his subordinates were all cowering, and he was immediately furious, and shouted: "If we don't break through, we will all die here." ”

Zhou Xun then glanced at the city again, and he said to Zhou Zheng: "If Wei Ran is shot to death, then I will die without regrets." ”

At this time, Wei Ran's soldiers were searching door to door in the city, and the people at first thought that Wei Ran's soldiers were also looting, and they took up arms to resist.

But seeing that those soldiers had no killing intent towards them, even if the people who took up arms to resist, they were only injured, and then found that there was nothing abnormal, and they all left directly.

Only then did everyone feel at ease, and some bold people asked, "I don't know what the military masters are looking for?" ”

"Have you ever seen a special ballista?"

The people didn't know what a special ballista was. The soldier said, "It's a chariot that can be used to make crossbow arrows." Then the soldier made a slight stroke of the basic characteristics of the ballista.

"The small one, but I have seen a few people, pulling two similar cars in the mouth of the military master, and heading in the direction of the Heavenly Tower." The soldier nodded slightly, and then reported the situation to the commander, who after hearing this, threw a tael of silver to the people and said, "We are the imperial army, not bandits." If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done it, you will be punished. ”

At this time, the soldiers sent out by Cui He had slowly approached the Heavenly Tower.

This pawn's name is Zhang Gou'er, and he was assigned this task by Cui He this time, Rao is that he has never read a book, and he knows that this is definitely a fatal job.

But he wasn't particularly afraid, since he chose to be a soldier, he shouldn't be afraid of death, not to mention that he still had five hundred taels of silver to survive, even if he didn't encounter a situation, there were five hundred taels.

Five hundred taels, even if he dies, the younger brothers and sisters in the family can live a good life.

Just as he was approaching the sky-climbing tower, an arrow suddenly flew like thunder.

Zhang Gou'er saw the crossbow arrow coming, although he felt the fear of death, but he only closed his eyes.

But after a long time, he didn't feel any pain, he opened his eyes and saw a huge arrow lying sideways, and Wei Ran was sitting on the ground dejectedly.

It turned out that when the crossbow arrow first broke through the air, Wei Ran pretended to be a small soldier and followed Zhang Gou'er, and slashed at the crossbow arrow with the Taiping Sword, this crossbow arrow was powerful and heavy, although Wei Ran's Taiping Sword changed the direction of the crossbow arrow, but the strong impact still made Wei Ran's mouth bleed blood.

"Sure enough, it's climbing to the sky." Wei Ran shouted.

Then Wei Ran pulled Zhang Gou'er off the horse, and a crossbow arrow broke through the air again, hitting Zhang Gou'er's crotch mount.

I saw that the war horse was directly pierced, and the crossbow arrows were nailed to the ground along with the war horse.

The soldiers went straight to the sky, and Zhang Xiaopu, who had escaped death, was afraid for a while at this time.

"Thank you Duke Qin for saving your life." Zhang Xiaogou couldn't help but kowtow.

Wei Ran just looked at the crossbow arrows on the side at the moment, not so much crossbow arrows, but a combination of wolf tooth arrows and long lances, and they were all made of iron, and they were powerful and heavy.

Cui Huan said at this time: "This crossbow arrow is extremely lethal, if you are wearing heavy armor, I am afraid that the internal organs will also be shattered by the impact force." If you don't wear heavy armor and pierce it directly, there is no way to survive. ”

Cui Huan looked at Wei Ran reproachfully at this time: "If Gong Qin had used his sword to block this crossbow just now, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago." ”

Fortunately, Wei Ran used his sword to invite the side just now, so he was only injured by the impact.

Then Wei Ran looked at the ground that was hit by the crossbow arrow, and there were already a lot of scars.

"If this arrow is used on the battlefield, it is simply an artifact to behead the enemy general." Wei Ran exclaimed

At this time, Wei Ran's soldiers had already rushed up to the sky, capturing several people and two ballistas.

Wei Ran had the ballista transported back to the city wall of the East Gate.

Now Panyu City has been completely breached, and the Qi army has captured the tower of the east gate, and now Zhou Xun can't move.

More than 50,000 people were trapped outside the East Gate, and behind them was the East Gate wall, which no longer belonged to them.

On three sides were the Southern Qi army, and Zhou Xun launched a charge wave after wave, but they all returned in vain.

Then, in the despair of everyone, the east gate slowly closed, and even the retreat into the city was cut off.

Zhou Xun looked desperate and said to Zhou Zheng: "Teacher, now it seems that I am going to die here." ”

Although Zhou Zheng was already full of white hair, he still held his white beard and said: "The old slave has been studying with the head of the family since he was a child, and the young master is a child I grew up watching, and now I am dying here together, and the old slave has no regrets in this life." ”

Zhou Xun also smiled sadly, as more and more people around him fell.

Zhou Xun was about to draw his sword and kill himself, when suddenly a voice came from behind: "Zhou Xunke?" ”

Zhou Xunmeng turned around, but saw a white-armored general on the city tower.

Zhou Xun looked at the man and said, "But Wei Ran? ”

"It's Ben Gong."

"Wei Ran thief, the Immortal Crossbow actually failed to shoot you?" Zhou Xun hated.

"I couldn't shoot my father, so I decided to return you with an arrow."

When Zhou Zheng heard this, he shouted: "Young master, get off the horse!" ”

But it was too late, and the crossbow bolt broke through the air, right in the middle of the head.

The impact of the crossbow arrow was so powerful that Zhou Xun was shot directly from the horse to the ground, and then his head was shot into the ground by the crossbow arrow.

The scene at this time was too shocking, only Zhou Xun's body was on the ground, but Zhou Xun's head was missing.

Zhou Zheng was grief-stricken, dismounted and knelt on the ground in pain.

Wei Ran then shouted: "The first evil has been eliminated, those who surrender are angry that they will not die, and those who resist will not be forgiven!" ”

Zhou Xun is dead, and Zhou Xun's subordinates are now besieged and have nowhere to escape, and everyone looks at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng's heart was like ashes at this time, and he recalled Zhou Xun and the entire Zhou family when he was young.

At that time, he was just a child who sold himself to bury his father, and after being bought into the Zhou family, he became Zhou Cheng's companion because of his cleverness.

witnessed Zhou Zheng becoming a member of the party, and also witnessed the birth of Zhou Xun.

After Zhou Cheng's death, he took Zhou Xun to hide on the island, and saw that Zhou Xun was determined to take revenge all his life, and he knew that he couldn't do it, but as Zhou Xun's obsession became deeper and deeper, he finally joined in.

With the death of Zhou Xun, Zhou Zheng can only do his master's servant.

He shouted, "Lay down your arms and surrender." ”

As the surrounding weapons kept falling, the clanging sound intensified.

Zhou Zheng finally laughed, and then he raised the sword in his hand and killed himself at the east gate of Panyu.

Since then, Xiao Zhizhou's rebellion has also been completely quelled.

Wei Ran looked at Zhou Zheng, who committed suicide, and could only sigh, and then let Zhou Zheng restrain him.

originally wanted to pass Zhou Xun's head to Jiankang, but after dragging out Zhou Xun's body, he found that Zhou Xun's entire head was shattered.

Wei Ran then gave up this idea, and then went into the city to pacify the people.
