Evening.

The city of Jizhou is under martial law, and the city walls are full of armor soldiers, all Zhou-style armor.

There are two rows of big flags on the city tower, one row of unified red and black characters, with the big word "Zhou" written on it, and the other row of unified apricot yellow flags, embroidered with a dragon with teeth and claws.

The existence of these two rows of flags is a declaration of sovereignty, and this place is the territory of the Great Zhou.

Jianwei Zhonglang General Zhu Bangguo was dressed in red armor, with a treasure knife hanging from his waist, with a solemn expression, patrolling the city wall.

He was followed by two people, one wearing a fish-scale composite armor and the other dressed as a scholar.

The former is the old Han who joined the army under Zhu Bangguo, and the latter is Liu Qingsheng, Wang Cheng's captain.

"Lord Liu, how long will it take for that General Li in Pingzhou to arrive?" Zhu Bangguo turned around and asked.

Liu Qingsheng said: "Pingzhou is more than 200 miles away from here, if you start from Chenshi, the cavalry should be able to arrive in my Ji County at the time of You, they should be almost there!" ”

Zhu Bangguo looked to the west with a complicated expression.

The general Li in Pingzhou is called Li Yuanqing, the younger brother of Li Yuanjie, the current Xia king, who was already a martial arts master many years ago, and now it is even more unfathomable.

He was deeply trusted by Li Yuanjie, the king of Xia, and led 30,000 horses to defend Pingzhou, but the defense of Yanzhou, Luzhou, Jizhou and other northeastern Xia countries were controlled by him.

In addition to this relationship, Li Yuanqing himself has a strong ability to command troops, and is also a fanatical warmonger, during the more than ten years of the truce between Xia and the Great Zhou, he often sent troops to harass the border of the Great Zhou.

"Three thousand against thirty thousand!"

Zhu Bangguo sighed secretly, he really couldn't think of how to defend this Jizhou city.

Although he was confident, the difference in strength between the two was too great, and he couldn't rely on this wall to stop an army ten times his size.

Because the hearts of the people in this Jizhou city were not completely attached to the Great Zhou, as far as he knew, the lieutenant of the Black Eagle Army was hiding in the city, and he had a way to communicate with the outside world, so he was even more unsure.

"That kid ......"

He thought of Wang Cheng, turned back to Liu Qingsheng and said, "Can he succeed?" ”

Liu Qingsheng was asked, because Wang Cheng led his troops to raid Yanzhou, and he participated in the planning, so he knew very well that this plan was a huge danger.

This is a strategy of "attacking the enemy must be saved", and if it succeeds, it will be able to relieve the siege of Jizhou City, but Wang Cheng himself will be in prison and chased and killed by the Xia army.

If it fails, the city of Jizhou will be broken, but Wang Cheng himself will cut off all the retreats.

In short, no matter whether this plan succeeds or not, Wang Cheng and the others will be in deep danger.

Just as he was hesitating whether to say anything, Han Senjun on the side suddenly pointed to the east.

"Look!"

This shout drew the attention of everyone in the city.

I saw that a large number of people suddenly appeared in the east, and there were countless people as far as the eye could see.

They are like a tsunami, they don't seem to be fast, but they suddenly appear in front of you.

All the soldiers on the city wall were holding their breath, stunned by this powerful momentum.

Even Jianwei Zhonglang General Zhu Bangguo had an extremely solemn expression, staring at this group of people who were only two or three hundred meters away from the city wall.

Han Senjun gasped and said, "There must be 30,000 people, right?" ”

Zhu Bangguo nodded and said, "It's all cavalry!" ”

Liu Qingsheng couldn't hear the meaning of these words for a short time, but Han Senjun knew it very well.

thought that in order to gather 3,000 cavalry for Wang Cheng, Zhu Bangguo really scraped the "bottom of the pot" clean.

Looking at the opposite side again, there are more than 30,000 cavalry at once, which is completely different.

"A country built on horseback!" Zhu Bang's Chinese tone is complicated.

Liu Qingsheng suddenly spoke: "Since this group of people is here, what about the captain?" ”

He didn't dare to continue, the 30,000 horses in Pingzhou had arrived here, could it be that Wang Cheng's plan was not successful?

Zhu Bangguo said in a deep voice: "Get ready to fight!" ”

Then he quickly ordered all the soldiers on the city wall to prepare all the equipment for defending the city.

Large bed crossbows were erected to the top of the city, and oil oil, boulders, and rolling logs were quickly ready.

The Xia soldiers on the opposite side seemed to be afraid of these sharp weapons in the army, and stopped one hundred and fifty meters below the city.

At this moment, a man walked out of the queue on a tall crimson BMW.

He was in his forties, wearing a bright light armor and a wide yellow robe with python patterns embroidered on it.

Like other Xia people, he also has the traditional hairstyle of Xia people, but unlike other Xia people, his hair and thick eyebrows are neatly trimmed.

Under a pair of sword eyebrows, there are a pair of eyes with yellow sclera, the upper end of the nose bridge has a bulge, which resembles a hump, and the tip of the nose is a little hooked, which really looks like an eagle's face.

"Li Yuanqing!"

Zhu Bangguo and Liu Qingsheng blurted out at the same time, and then glanced at each other.

Both of them were people who had seen Li Yuanqing, so they recognized at a glance that the person who came out on horseback was this person.

Li Yuanqing rode a red BMW and walked forward, he was not alone, and there was a team of people behind him.

There were 100 men in this group, each with a few fan-shaped hats woven of feathers on their heads, and a few white wax brushes on their faces.

They all had a stiff bow a few sizes larger, and they carried quivers on their backs, which were full of feathered arrows.

Zhu Bangguo looked at the only dozen or so people and muttered to himself: "Shooter! ”

This is the most powerful archer in the Xia Kingdom, and he can shoot in the dark.

"General, it's less than a hundred steps!" Han Senjun reminded on the side.

Zhu Bangguo snorted, this distance was enough for the shooter to find an opportunity to shoot him, and he immediately ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Whoa!!"

The next moment, the bed crossbow loosened, and hundreds of crossbow arrows with a diameter of more than a centimeter were fired.

Li Yuanqing, who was still walking forward, stared at him, let out a low shout of "flash", and disappeared on the horse's back in an instant.

The 100th Marksman disappeared from his horse as soon as he heard the order.

"Doot toot!"

Hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired, and the hundreds of horses ridden by the archers did not even have a chance to bark, and were shot on the spot.

Many of the archers hiding under the horse's belly were nailed to the ground with crossbow arrows with their horses, and they didn't even have time to scream.

After this wave of attacks, there were no more than 100 centaurs who could stand, and the archers who were lucky to survive hiding under the horse's belly hurriedly retreated into the formation.

"Good!!"

Zhu Bangguo, Han Senjun, and Liu Qingsheng in the city couldn't help but applaud, and shot dozens of shooters at once, which is very rare.

Li Yuanqing appeared in mid-air, more than ten meters above the ground, and the cultivation of the martial arts master was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

He looked at the corpses on the ground, and the fast-rooted spear-like crossbow arrows, and said with an ugly face: "Iron Arm Divine Crossbow!" ”

In the Great Zhou Army, in addition to the Iron Arm Copper Crossbow, there is also a heavy weapon in the army - the Iron Arm Divine Crossbow, which is an enlarged version of the Iron Arm Copper Crossbow, which is more than ten times stronger than the Iron Arm Copper Crossbow.

Li Yuanqing looked at the few figures standing on the city tower, since the iron-armed crossbow appeared here, then there were no cats and dogs guarding the city tower at the moment, there must be a general who personally guarded it.

The information is incorrect!

Li Yuanqing said loudly: "The one in the city is General Zhu, the general of Jianwei Zhonglang? ”

"It's a certain house!"

Zhu Bangguo arched his hand into the air, and said loudly: "I am glad to hear that General Xiaocai is here, Zhu came overnight, especially to prepare thin wine in this county town, and forget to appreciate the face of General Xiaocai." ”

Li Yuanqing didn't believe this nonsense, if he dared to get close to Jizhou City, he would definitely be shot.

The iron-armed divine crossbow is so powerful that even the strong of the Martial King can shoot it. He could still dodge from a hundred meters away, and within a hundred meters, he could be shot.

Attack?

Or not?

If he attacks, he will definitely lose his troops, looking at the posture on the city, there are at least thousands of guards, and there are hundreds of iron-armed crossbows, even if he breaks through the city, it must be a heavy loss.

But if you don't attack, the group of Zhou soldiers on the opposite side still think that they are afraid of them, if this spreads, teach the world what to think of him Li Yuanqing?

At this moment, an urgent report came from his ear: "General! Emergency military intelligence! ”

He hurriedly swept down from mid-air, and as soon as he entered the formation, a knight whispered in his ear.

After listening, he looked up at the figure on the city tower and said, "What a Zhu Bangguo, I underestimate you!" But don't get complacent, this battle has just begun! ”

"Let's go!"

He lingered no longer, and retreated with his 30,000 men and horses.

It's really coming and going!

When the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the city saw the enemy retreating, they immediately let out a deafening cheer.

Unbeknownst to them, however, in a small courtyard hidden somewhere in the city, a figure silently shrank back from the wall.

His whole body seemed to be drained, and he fell off the stool.

"Ahh

He suppressed his voice and roared, but for fear of being heard, he quickly closed his mouth.

Then, dragging one leg, he limped into the room, swearing and swearing in his mouth, which turned into crying again.

On the city.

Zhu Bangguo, Han Senjun, and Liu Qingsheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they watched the Xia army retreat like a tide.

Their palms were sweating, just now Li Yuanqing really wanted to lead his troops to attack the city desperately, and all of them had to be ready to die.

If it was just an ordinary soldier, they could still block it with 30,000 horses, after all, this city wall was enough for them to climb.

But among these 30,000 people, there are warriors and martial artists, and Li Yuanqing is a martial arts master, this city wall can't stop them, what they are really afraid of is the big killing weapon of the Iron Arm Divine Crossbow.

"Congratulations General! As soon as Li Yuanqing leaves, this city will truly return to my Great Zhou! Han joined the army and congratulated him.

The 3,000 men and horses who arrived this time were only the advance troops, and there would be a large number of men and horses behind, and at that time, the city would really return to their hands, and it would be difficult to take it again.

And Li Yuanqing's retreat, the troops after the Great Zhou Dynasty had plenty of time.

Just like Han Senjun said, as soon as Li Yuanqing left, Ji County will truly return to the Great Zhou.

Zhu Bangguo was also overjoyed, and suddenly, he thought of something, and said, "It seems that that kid's plan has succeeded!" ”

He looked at Liu Qingsheng, and Liu Qingsheng nodded.

There is only one possibility for Li Yuanqing to retreat suddenly, and it must be that there is an emergency military situation.

At this time, Li Yuanqing can lead the men and horses to withdraw, only Wang Cheng, and only Wang Cheng!

Zhu Bangguo looked at the east and muttered to himself: "Next, all the pressure is on that kid!" ”
