The chaos in Lingyang City was not restored until the next morning.

When Qin Yun was eating breakfast at the Shui family, he saw Shui Mingdong with a tired face, and there was not much joy of success on his face, but more worry and solemnity.

Facing Qin Yun's inquiry, Shui Mingdong smiled bitterly: "You may not know that there were several rebellions in the guard camp last night, although we suppressed them, but the warehouse where the ordnance was stored was burned and suffered heavy losses, and the 30,000 guards were only in their early 20,000s at most. ”

Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth very much: "The die-hard remnants of the Shangguan family not only made trouble everywhere, but also colluded with the Zheng family to fight back, fortunately, we were prepared and did not let them succeed, but each family died a lot of people in battle." ”

Among the seven families of Lingyang, the Zheng family is undoubtedly the most loyal ally of the Shangguan family, and it is a lackey to say that it is ugly, although the power is not very strong, but it is also very harmful to cause chaos in the city.

Qin Yun was surprised and said, "Shangguan Wuji and Shangguan Wuya are dead, and they are willing to be buried together?"

"The third brother of Shangguan, there is also a Shangguan who is not sick!" Shui Mingdong said: "We underestimated him a little bit, the third brother, not only escaped from Lingyang with the disciples of the Shangguan family, but also returned alone to mobilize the Zheng family and the remnants of the force, causing us a lot of trouble!"

Qin Yun was a little surprised: "What about Shangguan without a patient?"

"He was killed by Xie Ling, Ouyang Changtian and others, and I heard that he also lost an innate sword cultivator" Shui Mingdong shook his head and said: "He is also a congenital master, but he is already terminally ill." When you come back, you will die!"

Qin Yun was silent, the most terrifying person is not deadly. It's a person who knows that he will die, and the power that an innate powerhouse with a belief in death can burst out is absolutely amazing.

Shui Mingdong sighed: "If it was before. We can still bear such losses, but the Flying Tiger Legion of Da Chu may attack at any time, and Lord Xu Jingye Xu has already sent someone to urgently ask for help from the empire, but I am only afraid"

He didn't say anything about the rest of the words, but Qin Yun fully understood his worries.

Over the years, Dayan has continuously strengthened the defense of the north, and has used more manpower and material resources to fight against the Wu clan. Gradually, it lost control of the southern frontier and relied on the princes to manage and defend it.

Once Great Chu launched a large-scale attack, even if the empire immediately sent reinforcements after receiving the news, it would take dozens of days to give real support.

The princes near the county were unreliable. King Lu's strength is not very strong, although Lingyang City is said to be a strong wall, but it has changed hands several times in the past two hundred years, it is difficult to say that it is impregnable.

And the most important thing is to see how powerful the enemy is!

This question was initially answered at sunset.

Bell!

When the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the west city wall of Lingyang, the huge bell in the city was struck, and the loud and majestic bell continued to ring twelve times, clearly reaching every corner of the city.

The vast majority of people know it. This is a warning signal on behalf of the invasion of the great enemy, and this fortress city on the southern border of Dayan has once again ushered in a new war test!

Qin Yun stood on the southern city wall, watching countless black dots appear on the horizon in the distance, and the mountains and fields were like a black torrent, quickly surging towards Lingyang City.

It was the elite cavalry of Da Chu, and the leading knight held the blood-red Flying Tiger Battle Flag high, leading the thousands of troops and horses behind him to step across the grass, making a thunderous roar.

The battle horn sounded on the city walls. The guards withdrew as fast as they could, and the catapults deployed behind the walls creaked and pulled levers to load the stone bullets.

But having just experienced a turmoil of internal strife, the morale of many guards soldiers was low, and some of them had blank and uneasy looks on their faces, completely relying on instinct to carry out orders, lacking the ** and confidence to fight.

Shui Mingdong, who was side by side with Qin Yun to inspect the enemy lineup, smiled bitterly: "It's good now, I can't leave if I want to!"

Today, the Shui family was all aware of what had happened last night, and when the clansmen heard the news of the imminent arrival of the Great Chu Legion, their reactions were different.

Some people hope to be able to leave Lingyang City immediately and go to the north to avoid trouble, their reason is very simple, since Da Chu is so pretentious, then for Ling Yang is determined to win, just relying on the current strength in the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the thousands of troops of Da Chu, and sooner or later they will fall.

There are also many people who want to stick to Lingyang, this is the foundation of the Shui family, leaving the Lingyang Shui family is nothing, and Lingyang, as a fortress in southern Xinjiang, is by no means easy to overcome, as long as it persists until the arrival of the Great Yan reinforcements, Da Chu will once again hit his head under the Lingyang city wall.

Neither side could convince anyone, and many clansmen even secretly prepared their luggage.

But now, whether you want to leave or stay, you have no choice.

No one expected the Flying Tiger Legion to come so quickly!

"There should still be Da Chu's spy Neiying in the city, we haven't found the person who released the fireworks signal last night, fortunately we have insight into the enemy's conspiracy in advance, otherwise the fall of Ling Yang will only be in these few days!"

Xu Jingye also came to the city wall with his entourage, he looked at the surging Flying Tiger Cavalry in the distance, and his thin face was full of determination: "They miscalculated, we still have a firm grip on Lingyang!"

"Lord Xu!"

Qin Yun and Shui Mingdong saluted at the same time.

"Qin Yun Xiaoyou, the master of the Shui family, this time is really thanks to you!" Xu Jingye sighed: "When I defeat Da Chu, I will definitely report to the imperial court to ask for credit for you!"

As a sword cultivator who yearned for the Great Dao, Qin Yun didn't care, but Shui Mingdong was very happy to thank him a lot.

Woo!~

At this moment, the melodious sound of trumpets came from afar, and the Flying Tiger cavalry that was rushing in like a tide on the plain stopped nearly a mile away from the city wall.

At this distance, the catapults in Lingyang City could not pose a threat to them.

The cavalry is only the vanguard force, and it is foolish to rely on the cavalry to attack the fortified city, and the commander of the enemy army is certainly not so weak, and there must be a large number of infantry troops coming behind them.

I saw a knight holding the Flying Tiger Banner come out of the formation, driving a black horse to approach less than three hundred paces away from the city wall.

He thrust the flag in his hand into the ground, grabbed a longbow, pulled the string with force, and shot a feathered arrow above the wall.

The arrow struck like a meteor, right in the direction where Xu Jingye and the others were.

Xu Jingye stood still, there were several innate powerhouses around him, how could he be afraid of arrows.

By the time the arrow landed on the wall, it had little power and was easily grasped by a guard officer.

"My lord, it's a letter from the enemy!"

The feathered arrows do not have arrowheads, but are tied to a long roll of mulberry paper.

Xu Jingye took it from the officer's hand and unfolded it, and immediately sneered: "Surrender to avoid death, don't surrender to slaughter the city!" What an arrogant tone, Da Chu really bullied me and Da Yan has no one?"

The guards officers and the masters of the major families next to them all showed anger, their relatives and family members were all in the city, and the arrogance and arrogance of the Flying Tiger Legion suddenly aroused everyone's hatred and hatred.

After the Flying Tiger Knight shot the letter, he rode his horse and continued to run forward for dozens of steps, when he suddenly raised his arm and threw a second arrow!

This arrow was faster than the first, and it swept a distance of two hundred paces between breaths, and hit a flagpole erected on the city wall with incredible accuracy, and actually shot down the flag of the guards!

His archery skills are so strong, he is definitely a rare super archer in the Great Chu Army!

The Flying Tiger Knight proudly raised his longbow and roared loudly: "Great Chu, long live! Flying Tiger, Long live!"

The thunderous roar quickly spread in all directions, and the thousands of Flying Tiger cavalry in the rear immediately issued a tsunami-like response: "Long live Da Chu!

Although they were separated by a long distance, this proud and confident momentum was like an invisible giant wave crashing against Lingyang City, and many soldiers guarding the city wall couldn't help but show fear.

Seeing that the enemy was so arrogant and arrogant, Qin Yun's heart was full of blood, and he asked in a deep voice: "Which of you has a longbow, I want the best and the strongest!"

At this distance, both catapults and heavy crossbows can threaten the opponent, but using these two heavy city defense equipment to deal with a mere knight, not to mention whether they can hit accurately, weakens their own prestige.

One of the guard officers immediately replied, "Yes, yes, wait a minute, my lord!"

He hurried away and soon returned.

Two muscular warriors followed behind the officer, carrying a large box with heavy copper rings.

There was a dull roar when the box fell to the ground, and the officer unscrewed the lock and lifted the lid of the box and said: "My lord, this is the sunset bow of the Wanghai Tower on the south wall of Zhencun, the nine-stone strong bow used by Lord Yan Lianyan, the commander of the Lingyang Guard, and thirteen wind-chasing arrows!"

Wanghailou is one of the large towers guarding the four corners of the fortress, standing at the highest point with a clairvoyant mirror to overlook the scene of more than ten miles outside the city, which is extremely important for the role of city defense.

Qin Yun bent down and reached out and picked up the longbow placed in the big box, and was taken aback.

The fine iron longbow he used was thrown into the Guangling Cave Heaven, and the weight of this sunset bow was more than twice as heavy as the fine iron longbow, and the bow was more than a foot long, and it was nearly as tall as a person on the ground!

The whole body of the longbow is dark gold, it looks like it is all made of metal, it is flawless, and the surface of the bow body is engraved with countless dense runes, which is extremely cold and heavy.

The nine-stone strong bow is the limit of the longbow, one stone is one hundred and twenty catties, and the arms do not have the strength of a thousand catties to be pulled apart at all.

But Qin Yun felt that with only the strength of a thousand catties, I am afraid it would be difficult to pull out this sunset bow!
