A wild river ditch in the south of Lingzhou City is surrounded by half-human-tall weeds.

Suddenly, a person from the south galloped straight to this wild river ditch.

There was a commotion in the originally quiet Yehegou, and some heads emerged from it one after another.

"Liu Sima! It's time to fight! It's time to fight! ”

The knight shouted loudly as he leaped off his horse and galloped all the way to the wild river ditch.

"Brush!"

A figure sprang out of the weeds, a few weeds on top of its bare head.

He was sturdy, nearly thirty years old, with a red and black face and a lot of freckles, and it was Liu Yucheng, the new military commander appointed by Wang Cheng.

"Phew!"

Liu Yucheng spit out the grass roots in his mouth, grabbed the knight who was about to fall, stared at him and said, "What you said is true?" Is Lingzhou City really fighting? ”

"Really! It's true! ”

The knight couldn't help nodding and said, "The defenders of Wuping County have all come out, a full 30,000 horses, overwhelming, all of them are attacking Lingzhou. ”

"You mean the people of Wuping County? Not General Wang? "Liu Yucheng needs to be sure.

Seeing the knight nodding, Liu Yucheng couldn't help but say to himself: "How can it be the people of Wuping County?" ”

Before leaving, Wang Cheng left them an order, let them lurk in the south of Lingzhou City, always pay attention to the dynamics of Lingzhou City, and once there is a big battle in Lingzhou City, they will also kill it immediately.

But what puzzled him was, how could it be a soldier from Wuping County? Shouldn't it have been killed from Dizhou?

"Liu Sima, then should we still send troops?" Knight Road.

Liu Yucheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Out!" Troops, of course! You go and inform Hu Sima now, and ask him to bring all the brothers with him and kill Lingzhou City immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

The knight responded with a fist, quickly turned on his horse, and headed straight to the southeast.

Soon, he came to a forest where more than a thousand people and two thousand horses were hidden.

After revealing the situation to Hu Zongyi, Hu Zongyi immediately took the people who were already ready to go and killed Lingzhou City.

By the time this group arrived, Lingzhou City was already in the midst of a war.

Boulders, fire oil, and flying arrows all smashed into Lingzhou City.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

……

The eastern wall of Lingzhou City was smashed into potholes, and crossbow arrows as thick as spears were inserted everywhere.

The Lingzhou guards on the city wall did not dare to raise their heads at all, and crossbow arrows and boulders flew over their heads with a "whoosh", and the slightest carelessness was gone.

Even so, there were still many soldiers who were killed by boulders and crossbow arrows, and under such a dense attack, there would always be some boulders or crossbow arrows that happened to land on the city.

The houses in the city were not as strong as the walls were built, and a few large stones smashed them to pieces, and then the oil fell, and soon they fell into a sea of fire.

The streets were littered with spear-like crossbow arrows, and unlucky people were crucified to the ground.

There were no more civilians in the eastern part of the city, and within a minute of the start of the battle, they had fled to the west, not caring for anything.

Li Yuanxu has been transferred from the city to a secret room under the city, and he is accompanied by Li Hongzhong, Liu Xinyang and other important generals.

Seeing more and more houses destroyed and more and more soldiers killed in the city, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.

He stared at Li Hongzhong and said angrily: "What about our catapults and bed crossbows? Give Lao Tzu all to the other side! ”

Li Hongzhong's face was ugly, and he said stubbornly: "General, our catapult and bed crossbow can't fight that far at all......"

As he spoke, his voice became quieter and quieter, and finally he simply lowered his head.

"Can't hit that far?"

Li Yuanxu was stunned for a moment, then remembered it, and sighed: "The siege weapon of the Zhou people is worthy of being the first in the world!" ”

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty has been repeatedly warred in the past hundred years, and a lot of territory and treasures have been robbed, it has existed for more than a thousand years, and the heritage is still not comparable to several surrounding countries, whether it is martial arts, culture, or science, engineering, agriculture and medicine.

There are many skilled craftsmen in the Great Zhou, and the siege equipment, armor and spears created by these people far surpass those of several other countries.

"Boom!"

At that moment, there was a loud noise overhead, and the ground seemed to shake together.

"What's going on?" Li Yuanxu said angrily.

Suddenly, a soldier ran over, disgraced, and said, "General, our city tower has been shattered. ”

When Li Yuanxu heard this, his expression changed again.

The battle was full, and the time for the siege of the opposite side was not even a cup of tea, and the tower of Lingzhou City could not hold it, and the enemy's attack was too fierce.

"No way!"

Li Yuanxu's expression was solemn, and he said: "If they are allowed to fight like this, this city wall will be broken." ”

As he spoke, he was about to walk out, but as soon as he turned his head, he was stopped by Li Hongzhong on the side.

"Second brother, you can't go out! It's too dangerous outside, and it's hard for even the Grand Master to save his life. ”

Li Hongzhong hugged one of Li Yuanxu's arms tightly, almost pleading: "Second brother, wait a little longer!" After fighting for so long, the Zhou people's catapult and iron-armed crossbow were almost exhausted. ”

Li Yuanxu's expression couldn't help but change, and he hesitated for a while, he didn't go out after all.

"You're right! After fighting for so long, the iron-armed crossbow bowstrings are about to break, and their offensive will soon weaken. ”

That was said, but he was still very worried, because he was not sure how many catapults and iron-armed crossbows were on the other side.

There has been no major war on the western border of the Great Zhou for more than ten years, but the weapons and equipment have never been broken, who knows how much has been accumulated over the years?

"General!"

At this time, another soldier ran over and said in a panic: "General, south of the city, a group of enemy troops in the south of the city have been killed, and they will go to the city immediately." ”

"Are you coming?"

Li Yuanxu didn't show a too abnormal look on his face, because this was completely expected by him.

He asked unhurriedly, "How many enemy troops are coming from the south of the city?" ”

"There should be three thousand, no more than five thousand, all cavalry." The soldier said.

"Three thousand?"

Li Yuanxu pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Li Hongzhong, and said, "Chengnan will be handed over to you." ”

Li Hongzhong was stunned, there was a captain in the south of the city who personally led the troops to guard the town, why did he send him over?

At present, there are nearly 30,000 Zhou troops attacking the city in the east of the city, and the situation in the east of the city is much more severe than that in the south of the city.

Suddenly, he remembered something, and was about to speak, but was blocked by Li Yuanxu's words.

"This is a military order!"

Li Hongzhong opened his mouth, his eyes suddenly became moist, and his voice was hoarse: "The last general is ordered!" ”

He turned his head to leave, but just as he was about to walk out the door, he turned around and said, "Second brother, take care!" ”

Li Yuanxu didn't look back, and waved his hand back.

Li Hongzhong held back his tears, although he did not have outstanding military talents like his second brother Li Yuanxu and third brother Li Yuanqing, but he had been honed in the army for many years, so he could naturally see Li Yuanxu's arrangement.

Chengnan has the least pressure, and transferring him over is obviously leaving him a way to live!

At this moment, his clan brother could still think about his own safety.

He said no more, and left the place without looking back.

However, as soon as he walked on his front foot, a soldier on his back foot hurried into the secret room.

"General, it's not good, Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng has killed him from the west, and he has already arrived in the city!"

Li Yuanxu could no longer maintain his previous calm, although he had expected this situation, but when that person really came over, he was a little panicked in his heart.

Yes!

Panicky!

This is a peerless fierce general who chases the Black Eagle Army to kill, and it is a ruthless person who can still kill two people alone and cut off the great grandmaster when the four martial arts sects are surrounded by them, except for those who are extremely strong in the world, no one can still maintain calm in the face of this person.

Li Yuanxu suddenly shouted: "Liu Xinyang! ”

Liu Xinyang's expression was solemn, and he said: "The end will be!" ”

"I'll leave the east of the city to you, I'm going to go to the west of the city to meet the general for a while. The Zhou army's offensive is already weakening, and once their catapults and iron-armed crossbows are almost exhausted, you will immediately lead 10,000 cavalry in the city to kill them. ”

Li Yuanxu stared at him and said solemnly: "After leaving the city, take the head of Bao Zhenglao'er." As long as he was killed, the Zhou army would naturally collapse without a fight. ”

"Yes!" Liu Xinyang should go down.

After explaining a few more precautions to him, Li Yuanxu walked out of the secret room and disappeared into a streamer.

West.

Wang Cheng led 3,000 cavalry to approach the city, but when they were still five or six hundred meters away from the city wall, they encountered a very strong obstacle.

"Woohoo!"

Crossbow arrows were constantly being shot from the city wall, although they were not as powerful as the Iron Arm Divine Crossbow, but they still had extremely strong lethality five hundred meters away.

Wang Cheng once tried to catch a crossbow arrow, and he could still knock it out at a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, but he was a little powerless within five hundred meters.

The crossbow arrows shot from the bed crossbow within five hundred meters are not only extremely fast, but also have a very large impact, with the strength that Wang Cheng has broken through the blood inheritance boundary, he is naturally not afraid of this impact, but his attack speed can't keep up, it's okay to block one or two, and more than three are tired of coping.

Seeing more and more crossbow arrows coming at them, the group had to retreat to 800 meters away.

"General, what should I do?"

The person who questioned him was a man who was next to Wang Cheng, called Hu Jiawei, a cavalry captain promoted by Li Linxin, who was five or six years older than Wang Cheng.

He has a strong figure, "tiger back and bear waist" is no longer enough to describe, and his broad shoulders are worth two ordinary people.

Holding a pair of drum urns and golden hammers in both hands, he sat on a big black horse, like a door god.

Wang Cheng stared at the direction of the city gate with his eyes, and said: "Since you have arrived here, there is nothing to say, kill it, and if you delay, you will only miss the fighter." ”

He jumped off the horse, casually rested the nearly thousand-pound tiger head Zhan golden gun on the horse's back, and said, "Jiawei, you take the brothers to disperse and attract the attention of the defenders on the opposite side, and I will kill them alone." ”

"You're alone?" Hu Jiawei was taken aback.

There are countless bed crossbows on the opposite city, and each wave is comparable to a rainstorm falling to the ground, even if the great grandmaster enters, he will leave his life there if he is not careful.
