Defeat the Chu army!

Yan Qing poured wine and said with a wry smile: "I don't know if I can live to hold on to the day of victory"

The Chu army has besieged Lingyang City for more than five days, during which it has launched more than a dozen large and small attacks, although the first city wall has never been overcome, but the strength of the Lingyang City guards is constantly being weakened.

Yan Qing led Yan Yun's iron cavalry to fight on the front line, and more than half of the three thousand iron armor under his command had been damaged so far, and even he himself had survived several times with dozens of scars on his body!

Especially in the battle that just ended, Yan Qing was besieged by three masters of the enemy, and it was all up to his subordinate guards to desperately rescue him to pick up a life, and his guards sacrificed seven people.

Thinking of this, this young man with a heart like iron and stone couldn't help but be gloomy.

Qin Yun patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Don't say that, I think the reinforcements of His Royal Highness King Lu will come soon, as long as we hold on for another seven or eight days, I don't believe that we can't defeat the Chu army!"

Since the siege of the city by the Chu army, Lingyang's contact with the outside world has been basically cut off, and even the letter released has been sniped by the other party, and there has been no news from either Dayan or Lujun.

It can be said that the current Lingyang is completely isolated.

"That's!" Yan Qing perked up and said with a smile: "It's not so easy to think that Lao Tzu will die, and when His Highness's army arrives, you have to kill this group of bitches!"

Woo!~

As soon as his words fell, a loud horn sounded in the distance, and the reinvigorated Chu army several miles away pushed the chariot siege vehicle to approach the city wall defense again!

"!"

Yan Qing slammed the empty wine bottle in his hand to the ground, grabbed the big sword and jumped up.

"Prepare for battle!"

Hundreds of Guards took up their swords and guns. The archers struggled to pull their bowstrings, the crunch of the catapult winches behind them, and the roars of the officers echoed over the walls!

Kill, kill, kill!

The two sides with no way to retreat fought each other, and the horn of the attack continued until the evening, and the last wave of the Chu army's attack today was particularly crazy and protracted, and the city guards paid thousands of lives to barely hold the city walls.

In the end, both the Chu army and the city guards were exhausted, and the Chu army lost all the siege vehicles. Forced to abandon the first wall, which occupied nearly half of it, it retreated.

"Master Hou, it's not okay to go on like this!"

In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army of the Chu army, the burning light of dozens of butter giant candles illuminated the entire tent vividly. The commander of the legion, Wei Yue, stood silent in front of the wooden platform with the sand table, his face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping water.

The lieutenant generals next to him were all silent, for fear that he would vent his anger on his head.

On the contrary, it was the military advisor Gongsun Hong who didn't seem to notice Wei Yue's bad mood. He said bluntly: "The main force of our Flying Tiger Army has lost 17,000 people so far, and the 30,000 Chengxia Army has been wiped out, and if we continue to fight like this, even if we capture Lingyang City, we Flying Tiger Army will probably withdraw from the four major legions!"

Wei Yue's thick eyebrows were raised, and he said without hesitation: "It is precisely because we have paid such a high price, if we can't take Lingyang City, how can we explain to Your Majesty after we go back? Our Flying Tiger Legion will be discredited, where can we still have the face to hang the name of the four major legions!"

Gongsun Hong, who knew the inside story, was also helpless and said, "Then let's rest for a day tomorrow." The soldiers are very tired, everyone's morale is not high, and there are only a dozen siege engines left, and it will take time to build!"

The Flying Tigers carried a large number of craftsmen and materials, but the siege engines were large and not easy to build. After several days of fierce fighting, most of the losses were lost.

"No!" Wei Yue said categorically: "Although our morale is not high, and the losses of the Yan army are not small, they will only be more tired and difficult to hold on than us!"

"If there is no siege vehicle, then use the ladder, even if you use your life to pile it up, you must pile it up for me, and you must not give the enemy a chance to breathe. At night, continue to send people to attack and harass, and shoot arrows into the city to persuade them to surrender!"

A layer of evil aura appeared on his face: "With my order, if Lingyang City still refuses to surrender, after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs left for three days, and then the army will pass the order, tomorrow whoever can capture the city wall will be promoted to a first-class bounty of ten thousand taels!"

Everyone's faces changed.

There are many countries in the vast Kyushu, and wars between each other occur from time to time, and it is very common to attack cities and plunder land, but very few people will do things to slaughter cities and exterminate people, because those who do this are often condemned by the world as demon butchers, and the end is often not good.

When Wei Yue issued such an order, he was undoubtedly pushing himself into a dead end!

But no one spoke out to dissuade him, and even Gongsun Hong kept his mouth shut, because he knew very well that his lord was resolute and stubborn, and he would never waver once he made up his mind.

He only hoped that the order to slaughter the city would boost his morale and severely dampen the confidence of the other party, and it would not be too late to advise him after the actual capture of Ling Yang.

......

Whoosh!

Countless rockets streaked across the night sky, pulling out dazzling trajectories under the night, falling like raindrops in Lingyang City, coupled with the sound of horns and drums in the distance, the scene was very spectacular.

This was a routine night attack and harassment by the Chu army, and after several days of fighting, the guards were already surprised, except for those soldiers who patrolled the city walls, the others still slept soundly.

Qin Yun didn't feel the slightest sleep, he took the masters sent by the Seven Great Families to patrol the city wall to prevent the opponent's masters from sneaking into the city at night to kill people and set fire to create chaos.

Suddenly, he leapt into the air and grabbed a feathered arrow flying through the air.

This feather arrow is not a rocket tied with grease, the arrow is broken and wrapped in paper, Qin Yun dismantled it and looked at it, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Qin Shaoxia, what's wrong?" a sword cultivator asked.

Qin Yun didn't answer, and handed the paper in his hand directly to the other party.

Jian Xiu took it and looked at it, and immediately became furious: "You want us to surrender, otherwise the city will be slaughtered and bloodied for three days?

The letter of persuasion was passed in the hands of everyone, and everyone was full of righteous indignation, and they all wanted to rush down and kill the Chu army camp.

They come from various families, although many of them are Hakka generals of the five major families, but most of them are married and have children, and they are already inseparable from Lingyang, and the Chu army's threat of slaughtering the city has undoubtedly touched everyone's scales.

Qin Yun smiled faintly and said: "I think Wei Yue is already poor in donkey skills, they can't even attack our first city wall, tens of thousands of casualties in the past five days, and they want to use such indiscriminate means to shake our military morale, it's just wishful thinking!"

Everyone laughed, Qin Yun took off the sunset bow hanging on his back, and aimed it at the outside of the city and buckled the armor-piercing arrow.

Every night, the Chu army would send sharpshooters in the army to harass the city walls, launching real and false attacks from time to time, intending to make the guards unrestful and exhausted in defense.

These archers were numerous and experienced in combat, and their ability to cover their tracks at night, combined with the long distance of their bows, made it difficult for the defenders to fight back against them, despite the height of their walls.

Except for Qin Yun.

With the faint starlight, Qin Yun's eyesight was also enough to see far away through the night, and although the Chu army's archers were cunning to use the abandoned chariots on the battlefield for cover, the rockets they launched still easily exposed the target.

Of course, these sharpshooters also know this, they will change their position immediately after shooting an arrow, leaving no chance for the archers of the guards, so that people can see but cannot reach it, which is absolutely hateful.

Qin Yun pulled out the sunset bow, feeling the heat flow from the bow body merge into his arms, opening up his wisdom and brightness.

As soon as the power of the little divine power was opened, his perception ability was multiplied, and the sound of the wind blowing through the earth and the mud and rocks rolling in the distance, and the sound of the Chu army's archers moving and whispering contact came into his ears extremely clearly.

A cold light flashed in his dark eyes, and Qin Yun suddenly let go of the bowstring.

Boom!

With the trembling of the bowstring, the armor-piercing arrows fused with the refining of dark iron shot forward like lightning, almost silently sweeping a distance of hundreds of paces, hitting an enemy who had just escaped from cover.

"Ahh

The silence of the night was broken by a terrible scream, and the other party was stared alive on the ground, and he lost his breath in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yun stood still, holding the bow in his left hand and adjusting the direction slightly, and with his right hand, he quickly drew out the second arrow and put it on, pulling out the sunset bow again.

Second Arrow!

Hit another archer who was about to shoot at the city walls, more than four hundred paces!

The third, fourth, and fifth arrows are all missing!

The archers of the Chu army were shocked and angry, they had never suffered such a big loss in the night attack, and Qin Yun was so conspicuous on the city wall, so they gave up their original attack and projectile, and attacked him intensively.

Qin Yun still stood still, at this distance, he didn't worry about what threat the opponent's feather arrows would pose to him, he concentrated on searching, locking, attacking, and shooting the exposed enemies one by one on the spot!

In his senses, everything around him became ethereal, only the every move of the enemy in the distance appeared in his sea of consciousness, unless the other party hid behind the barrier and did not move, otherwise it was as easy as a candle in the darkness to be discovered by him.

Smack!

More than a dozen feather arrows fell on Qin Yun's body and the surrounding stone walls, although they were very accurate, it was impossible for the weak power to penetrate Qin Yun's protective true qi at all, unscathed!

On the contrary, these archers were eager to take revenge and were discovered by Qin Yun, and they shot down more than half of them on the spot, and the losses were extremely heavy!

The martial arts and sword cultivators on the city wall were extremely impressed, Qin Yun shot arrows with an astonishing frequency, and in the blink of an eye, he could empty a bag of arrows, but he was able to shoot the enemies hidden in the darkness in the distance without missing a shot. rq
