Since yesterday, the army arrays outside the city have been assembled one after another, advancing towards the four gates, the soldiers have been draped, the bows have been wound, and the siege equipment has been lined up in front of the battle. At that time, there were no ladders in Bayuan, but siege vehicles had already begun to be used in the war, and there were several styles of siege vehicles.

The most common is the siege tower, which is built on a large cart and has a bunker on which soldiers can shoot arrows into the city. When the cart is pushed all the way to the base of the city wall, the soldiers on the high platform can jump on the wall to fight.

There is also a kind of thing called climbing the hill, in front of which a thick raft or plank is erected to resist arrows, and above is a thick inclined plank, which can be carried forward by a cart, or it can be carried forward by strong soldiers hiding underneath. Once the climb slope rests on the wall, the besieging soldiers can rush up the wall from under the city along the sloping planks.

Another type of armament is called the Breaker, which is topped by a giant metal log with many handrails on both sides, and the handrails are often nailed with planks or shields to block flying rocks and arrows. It can be mounted on a cart or carried by two teams of soldiers, mainly to break through city gates, and sometimes to attack fortifications, such as breaking through walls.

These large-scale siege ordnance are inconvenient to transport over long distances, and they are often built by sergeants led by the army and co-workers, and the young army is ready. The siege arrow tower, the climbing slope, and the city-breaking hammer are lined up, and the neat military formation is solemn and majestic. Standing on the city wall and looking out, it was terrifying, and the legs of the Hongyuan City Lord were weak.

The Shaowu army has besieged the city for five days, and in these five days, rumors have spread in the city, and there are even rumors that Xiangqi has been captured by Shaowu, and Feihong City is the last city in Xiangmuro that has not yet been captured. This is not the worst of all, and there are not many people who believe it anyway, but the area around the neighboring city of Guxiong is safe, and the people are not only appeased, but they have all gone home to harvest wheat.

This makes the people in Feihong City feel that the city outline does not have to be defended. So these days, Feihong City has not been able to effectively organize a garrison to defend the city. If the army does not attack, the food in the warehouse of Feihong City is enough to support half a year, but as long as Shaowu orders the siege of the city, the Hongyuan City Lord also knows that he will not be able to defend it, and his only hope is that the Xiangmuro Kingdom will send a large army to help.

But so many days have passed, and the matter of Shaowu's raising of troops should have been spread to the capital of Xiangmuro a long time ago, but there was no trace of reinforcements at all, and now the army outside the city suddenly put on a posture of attacking strongly, and the people in the city were panicked. Except for the original three garrison formations and the two barely cobbled together militia formations, Feihong City did not have any other defensive forces to ascend the city.

Shaowutun gathered heavy troops at the north gate, obviously this is the main direction of attack, when the war drums sounded, the siege vehicles and the army slowly moved forward, Hongyuan stood on the city tower, feeling that his body was also trembling with the drum beat, and the coercive breath that came to his face made him breathless. The captain of the guard reached out and helped. The city lord stood firm.

It was time to make a choice between war and surrender, but the city lord could not make up his mind. The people in the city may be fine, but he is a nobleman of the clan of the Xiangmuro country. Can it end well if it falls into the hands of Shaowu?

In any case, Hongyuan did not forget his duties as the lord of the city, and ordered the young men in the city to climb the city wall to defend it, and the ordnance to defend the city was also distributed. As for whether it can play a role, whether the people will really fight. Hongyuan is really bottomless in his heart.

Seeing that the army was approaching the outline of the city, the sound of war drums suddenly stopped, and the army of the Bamuro Kingdom separated left and right. Outside the north gate, a carriage was left in the middle of the avenue. This carriage is made of special wood, the whole body is snow-white, with natural wood decoration, and has been refined by special mana, light and strong.

In front of the carriage were two snow-white horses, but there was no royal hand. There is no canopy on the car, and there are two people sitting side by side, Shao Wu on the left and Huwa on the right. This scene attracted the attention of everyone on the city wall, and it was still far away, and it was impossible to see who the people in the car were with the eyes of ordinary people, but someone had already shouted loudly: "That's Ba Jun Shaowu's car, and the people sitting on the car are Ba Jun Shaowu and Peng Keng's lord!"

Immediately afterwards, someone shouted: "It's Mr. Xiao, he and Ba Jun are sitting in the car and rushing to the city gate!"

The army of young servants did not move, but only one carriage was dispatched. There were no horses in the hands of Mite, but the two snow-white horses came straight towards the north gate like psychics, walking slowly and unusually steadily. Of course, it is impossible for Shaowu to find two horse demons pulling the cart in front of the formation, in fact, it is the tiger baby who is controlling the horse with invisible sword qi.

How can the invisible sword qi be used in this way? After the tiger baby's cultivation has reached the perfection of the five realms and nine turns, this magical power has been cultivated to the extreme of the existing realm, and one of the foundations of cultivating the invisible sword qi is the invisible thing, which the tiger baby mastered when he was very young, and he used to control the water droplets to extinguish the rockets that were shooting from the sky.

Now he can turn his edge into invisible, and he can even resist the wind without seeing the wind, but condense into an invisible soft rope, which is put on the horse to control the horse. This magic power was performed quietly, and there was not even a trace, even the Five Realms monk Xin Lan, who was standing on the city wall, was secretly frightened. The ordinary people only saw the carriage coming by itself, but she didn't understand - who was it and what means were being used to control the carriage?

The carriage came slowly from a long way outside the city, giving the people of the city enough time to react. The shouts on the city wall soon spread, and many people in the city also heard about it, and as a result, people continued to pour up the city wall, tiptoeing there to watch the excitement, many people just wanted to see the appearance of Shao Wu with their own eyes, and even more wanted to see the true face of the little gentleman.

The city walls on both sides of the north gate were soon crowded with people, and if the army of the young man rushed up to attack the city at this time, the sergeant standing at the front would probably not be able to turn away, let alone pick up the guys to fight.

The soldier Mura Bao was standing not far from the Hongyuan City Lord, and his attention was completely attracted by the carriage outside the city, and at this moment he suddenly frowned and looked at the sides, and said in a low voice: "Lord City Lord, the people in the city are all rushing to the city wall to see the car, if the other party attacks the city, the military formation will not be able to open at all." If you really want to defend the city, you should order the unrelated people to take it down. ”

Hongyuan's eyes were still looking at the carriage, and he subconsciously replied: "The army is still far away, only the carriage of the young man has come, if the other party really attacks the city, the people will go down." The city lord was also puzzled - what did Ba Jun mean, how did he leave the army and come to the city gate like this?

The carriage got closer and closer, and the good eyesight could already see the appearance of Shaowu and Huwa, and someone shouted on the city wall again: "I saw it, it is Ba Jun and Mr. Xiao, and they are indeed a generation of virtuous monarchs and masters." ”

Although there were only two people and a cart coming, the city lord's personal guards were extremely nervous, and the captain of the guard had already subconsciously stretched his bow and arrows, aiming at the young man on the carriage. At this moment the carriage stopped, and was only a shot away from the tower, and was within range of the bow and arrow of the captain of the guard's guard of the man who had had been armed. After another moment, the carriage actually took three steps forward, and it was even closer!

......

The young generals were all left behind, but he came to the city by car, and he was very bold. Just now in the carriage, he also quietly talked to Huwa in a divine voice: "Senior brother, if we are a shot away from the city tower, if there is a master like Mr. Changling who shoots an arrow with all his might, are you sure that you can catch it?"

Huwa replied: "I still know more about Mr. Changling's cultivation, if it is an ordinary person's shot away, he shoots an arrow with all his strength, and I can cast a spell to set it away." But if there are several generals like the Northern Sword General on the other side, who shoot a salvo with bows in the city, I am afraid that I can only escort you to abandon the car and retreat. It should be no problem to run as soon as you block it, as long as you don't stay where you are, there is no danger. ”

Shao Wu smiled: "If that's the case, I didn't come here for nothing, and both of us would have to let the people on the city wall see the jokes." As far as I know, the number one master in Feihong City is Xin Lan, a female national worker of the Five Realms, and there is no one like the Northern Dao Clan, let alone a batch of them suddenly. ”

As they spoke, the carriage came to a halt at the point of a shot, and there were men on the towers with bows and arrows. Shao Wu said again: "Huh, there is really someone who makes a bow, junior brother, take three steps forward in the car!"

......

The enemy army is approaching the city, and the soldiers are holding their bows and arrows, which is a normal thing! However, the action of the captain of the personal guard startled the Hongyuan city lord, and he quickly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the arrow and said: "What do you want to do! It is so far away, and there is a little gentleman by the side of the young man, how can he be shot?...... Whether you shoot or not, as long as you shoot this arrow at Ba Jun, we will all die. ”

Kaesong may survive if it surrenders, and it is possible to survive if it is defeated and captured, but if he orders his personal guards to take the initiative to shoot an arrow at Ba Jun, it will definitely be lifeless! Afterwards, if Shaowu captures Feihong City, the people may be exempted, but Hongyuan will be exempted, and this city lord's head can be very clear, and he does not have the determination to die in the city.

The captain of the guard said: "My lord, whether it is a battle or a surrender, you have an idea!"

Hongyuan: "Mr. Xiao and I are old friends, Ba Jun and Mr. Xiao came to the city in the same car, there must be something to say." Let's listen to their intentions and think about it!"

At this time, Shaowu had already stood up, clasped his fists and saluted to the city tower and the city walls on the left and right sides, and then used his mana and said loudly: "Fathers and elders of Feihong City, I am the son of Bajun Shaowu, the son of Hou Li, the great-grandson of Shegeng, and the descendant of Yanzhao. A hundred years ago, there was internal turmoil in the Ba country, and the countries of Ba Yuan were five, but there are now the Xiangshu and Zheng countries.

I have succeeded to the throne of Ba Jun for more than a year, the gods have protected me, the ancestors have blessed, the wind and rain are smooth, and all the people live in peace. Because it was found out that Zheng Jun and Zheng Quan had sent murderers to assassinate me and slaughter innocent caravans a year ago, Zheng Quan was asked to ask him for his crimes. Unexpectedly, the poor and unprovoked troops invaded the border, slaughtered the border people, and plundered the people.

As the lord of the king, how can I sit back and watch the people suffer, raise a large army to counterattack and pacify the hometown of Ba, and the army has reached the city of Feihong. The rebellion of the country a hundred years ago was actually a rebellion within the clan, and I could not bear to see all the people suffering from the scourge of war because of the affairs of the clan, so the army passed without the people committing any crimes.

Hongyuan, the lord of the city on the north gate, please open the city to welcome the army of the Ba country, and do not coerce the innocent suffering of the people in the city. Now is the time of autumn ripening, no one to harvest the wheat in the wilderness, does the city lord want to cut off the livelihood of all the people in the territory in the coming year? After I enter the city, I will exempt the people from serving for one year, and regard all the people of Feihong City as the people of Pakistan!" (To be continued......
