Under the morning light, the small Meiling Pass showed a sense of calmness.

Li Xuan rode on a tall horse, the long lance in his hand hung obliquely to the ground, and with a slight turn of the lance, the blade immediately flashed with a cold cold light.

With a grim gaze, he crossed the Meiling Pass and looked at the towering mountains behind him.

Taking Meiling Pass will choke the countless mountains behind to enter the Wuzhou passage.

The tall horse carried Li Xuan slowly in front of the formation, and the eyes of countless people fell on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan's gaze finally fell on Meiling Pass.

The city is two feet high, four hundred steps on the left and right.

There are traces of wind and rain on the stone wall, and even a layer of pulp can be faintly seen.

There are two corner towers in the city, and there is an urn city inside, but it is located at the north gate of the city, which is used to defend against the Tianyin cultists who rushed out from Wuzhou.

There were no such things at the south gate of Guancheng, which greatly reduced the difficulty for Li Xuan's Wuzhou army to capture the south gate.

Li Xuan's fierce gaze swept over the large and small openings in the city wall, and all the details were integrated into his mind.

……

Raising his head, Li Xuan saw Zuo Fei, Ye Wanwan, Zhang Wanyu and He Qing'er standing on the city wall at a glance.

Li Xuan's eyes were very indifferent, and he didn't look at them a few more times before he looked away.

He reached out and pressed the horse, and the tall horse under his crotch immediately made a restless sound.

All this, in the eyes of everyone in the distance, they felt a silent mockery.

Last night, they had been busy all night, but in the end it was just useless.

Li Xuan and many of his guards are now staying here safe and sound.

It's as if everything Zhang Wanyu and the others did last night, Li Xuan knew all in advance.

While their faces were hot, several people subconsciously looked at each other.

Li Xuan's cold gaze withdrew from the city wall and landed on his own array behind him.

Qi Guang led one or two hundred soldiers to stand in the center.

The first three columns are all muscular shield-wielding soldiers.

They had thick shields in their hands, and when the bows and arrows in front of them came at them, they would immediately block them all.

Behind the shield, there was a vanguard carrying four ladders.

Behind the vanguard is a soldier armed with a sharp sword, who will follow closely behind the vanguard and charge the city walls.

Behind these people were more than a dozen archers armed with longbows, who were the best of the carefully selected archers of the Wuzhou soldiers.

Fifty meters to the left and right of the Wuzhou soldiers, there is a team of Huijifu soldiers wearing chain mail.

The number of soldiers was not large, the same shields, ladders and long knives, archers.

However, compared to the central soldiers, they are fewer in number, but they are also more elite and murderous.

Behind the siege soldiers was a crossbowman armed with a crossbow.

Thirty crossbows were lined up, and the crossbow arrows flickered, as if in an instant, countless arrows would go towards the city.

On both sides of the crossbow array, there are two wells that are two feet high and three feet high, which are higher than the city walls of Meiling Pass.

Above stood a dozen archers, ready to shoot in the direction of the city walls.

Behind this group of people are a total of eight catapults lined up.

Four of these catapults were directly transported from the state city, two of which were quickly assembled by Feng Hua using the semi-finished products of Lanxi County after Li Xuan took Lanxi County, and only the last two were built by craftsmen overnight with local materials.

Fortunately, they brought a lot of things from the state and county towns, and only then did they successfully form two planes.

Without these things, they wouldn't have wanted to build anything out of wood alone.

Stones the size of a wooden basin were placed behind the catapult, and the Lanxi County Guards kept transporting the stones from the rear.

But most of these rocks are not as round as they were yesterday.

Everything was in order, low in voice, but full of murderous intent.

Looking from the front and back, even Li Xuan himself felt a burst of coldness.

……

Li Xuan turned around again, looked at the city wall, and met Zhang Wanyu's eyes at the city head for a moment.

In the silence, there seemed to be an electric spark flashing in the eyes of the two.

The expression on Zhang Wanyu's face was extremely solemn, and her gaze crossed Li Xuan and fell on the neatly placed arrays behind Li Xuan.

With these alone, she knew that Li Xuan was by no means a novice in the siege of the city.

Yesterday for a whole day, Li Xuan did not appear again except for the first appearance.

No one knew what he was doing, but when he appeared, all the pressure immediately fell heavily on everyone's hearts.

Zhang Wanyu subconsciously retracted her gaze and looked at the people around her.

She and Ye Wanwan were in good shape, but the others, including Zuo Fei and He Qing'er, had bloodshot eyes in their eyes.

Not to mention the several fights after nightfall yesterday, that is, after a few of them left, the catapults outside would send more than a dozen stone bullets into the city every half an hour.

The loud noise, as well as the terrible wail, made it impossible for the soldiers in the city to rest at all.

At dawn, the Wuzhou soldiers started a new wave of bombardment, that is, after the bombardment, Li Xuan appeared with people.

His appearance was even earlier than Ye Wanwan and the others returned.

Played with.

Several of them were all played by Li Xuan.

Zhang Wanyu's face immediately flushed with annoyance.

"Get ready to fight to the death, whether you can hold this level or not, everything depends on today." After Zhang Wanyu finished speaking, she looked sideways at Zuo Fei on the side.

Li Xuan's strategy is very obvious, he is doing a tired strategy, harassing the Tianyin Sect black pawns on the city wall all night.

Although the number of black pawns is not much less than the number of Wuzhou soldiers, it is difficult to say how much spirit these people can have left after staying up all night.

In particular, from time to time, large rocks are thrown up by catapults, which makes people even more disturbed.

Especially those who were lucky enough to survive under the stones, they wailed miserably all night, which made people's hearts extremely irritated.

A whole night has passed, and the entire Meiling has been closed, and everyone's physical strength and morale have been reduced to the limit.

In addition, it had been a whole night, and the black pawn had not been able to eat a proper meal.

Once the war starts, it is really hard to say how much combat power will be left.

……

"Let's get started." Li Xuan said lightly, and the sharp lance blade in his hand pointed directly forward.

The next moment, the black armor soldier behind him had already struck the big drum on his side.

The sound of drums with a "dong dong dong" was deafening and resounded in all directions.

At this moment, the Wuzhou soldier in the middle strode through Li Xuan's side.

The soldiers marched a hundred paces forward with great speed, approaching the wall very closely, and then thrust their shields into the dirt to the beat of drums, hiding themselves firmly under them.

The soldiers behind quickly followed, especially the archers, and as soon as they arrived at their designated positions, they drew their longbows and fired several arrows at the city wall.

The scattered arrows were nailed directly to the walls and then crashed to the ground, not hurting any of the blackmen on the wall at all.

There was no need for Zuo Fei to give an order at all, and the black pawns on the city wall immediately returned the arrows.

However, the arrows were nailed to the shield on the ground, and did not hurt any archers at all.

Both sides are outside the effective range of each other.

"Stop, stop, stop, they're consuming our bows and arrows." Zuo Fei suddenly realized Li Xuan's insidiousness, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to stop shooting.

However, the archers who heard his order immediately stopped shooting, but their faces showed a look of confusion.

There is no shortage of bows and arrows in their storehouses now, so what is the use of consuming them again.

"They are not consuming your bows and arrows, but your arms." Zhang Wanyu stared at Zuo Fei coldly, and then said unceremoniously: "Once an archer loses his arm strength and can't open the bow, even if he gives you more arrows, it's useless." ”

Hearing Zhang Wanyu say this, the faces of the archers on the city wall immediately changed.

Because since last night, they haven't rested much at all, and their arm strength has been consumed a lot......

At this moment, as if she understood something, Zhang Wanyu suddenly looked up at Li Xuan under the city wall.

However, at this moment, Li Xuan didn't look up at the city wall at all, just lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

With the sound of "squeak, squeak", two huge wells slowly moved forward from both sides.

The guards on both sides of the Huiji Mansion surround the perimeter of the well, relying on the well, and slowly advancing.

Zhang Wanyu completely understood at this moment that the Wuzhou soldiers in the center in front of the city gate were just vases used to attract the main force.

The combat power and psychological quality of these people cannot be compared with the soldiers of the Huiji Mansion at all.

They are just used for consumption, and the main force that really attacks the city is still those Huijifu soldiers on both sides.

……

Siege, siege.

Those Huijifu soldiers have surpassed the motionless Wuzhou soldiers on the ground in a blink of an eye.

Above the well, countless sharp arrows shot straight towards the city like dark clouds.

"Hum ......" The black pawns on the city wall reacted a little slower, and they were immediately killed by a single arrow with a precise bow and arrow.

At this moment, more sharp arrows quickly shot straight towards the well from the city wall.

But just listening to the "Duo Duo Duo", with a sound, the bow and arrow were nailed directly to the plank in the middle of the well, and there was no archer who could hurt it at all.

The range of the bow and arrow of the Tianyin black pawn is about a foot shorter than that of the bow and arrow of the Huiji Mansion soldiers.

It is this distance that determines the life and death of many people.

When Li Xuan saw this scene, a slight sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Some of the soldiers under him were mountain hunters he recruited in Hangzhou, and some were the sons of wealthy families he recruited in county and state cities.

These people have been skilled in bows and horses since childhood, and the way of bows and arrows is more than a step stronger than ordinary people.

Although those black pawns of the Tianyin Sect can also be called elite, they are still inferior to these people.

Not to mention, under the fatigue of the night, it is difficult to say how much strength they can have.

After a pair of shots, he immediately fell into the disadvantage.

At this moment, Li Xuan raised his head violently, and a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I saw Li Xuan's right hand swing violently.

The next moment, with a loud "boom", eight boulders smashed into the city at the same time.

Huge boulders swirled in mid-air, and they weren't as round as before.

The moment he saw the big stone, the black pawn on the city wall immediately subconsciously hid behind the female wall, but ......

With a bang, the stone slammed into the city wall, and then exploded.

Countless gravels burst directly on the city wall at once, and under the powerful speed, the black pawns on the city wall were smashed on their heads and bled at once.

Even more unlucky, he smashed his head directly, and was killed in an instant.

These stones turned out to be a kind of stone that could easily be smashed.

Rubble flew everywhere, and the city walls were suddenly a mess.

No one knows how Li Xuan actually came up with the idea of using these stones as tools for catapults.

Zuo Fei was stunned for a moment.

"Raise your shield, raise your shield!" Zhang Wanyu kicked Zuofei from behind.

Zuo Fei reacted immediately, and immediately shouted: "Find the shield, find the shield!" ”

The city wall was in a panic for a while, and at this time, the soldiers of the Huiji Mansion under the city rushed forward quickly, holding a ladder in their hands and quickly rushing towards the city, some archers, at this time, reacted, just opened the longbow, a long arrow on the opposite side had already shot fiercely, and an arrow pierced their necks.

With a "bang", a ladder was already on the top of the city.

The Huijifu soldiers below began to climb up rapidly.

The bows and arrows and catapults above their heads continued, but they had deliberately avoided the position of the Huiji soldiers.

……

Under the city wall, the Wuzhou soldiers were already quietly squatting on the ground, and now there was no one to care about them anymore at this time.

Li Xuan's gaze moved from the Wuzhou soldier to the city wall.

It was completely clear in my heart: it turned out that these people of the Tianyin Sect had never fought a siege battle, not even a siege battle.

Compared with Li Xuan, they are even more rookies in war.

Then, next, it's time to die.
