Wei Wuxian led the team out of the camp, and the movement on the side of the Jade Bottle Pass was amazing, and a loud sound of falling rocks was heard from a long distance.

The seven Qingyang Sect cultivators who had originally looked relaxed also gradually became solemn, because they could see the stone bullets falling from the sky.

A stone bullet of about 30 catties fell on the city like a goddess scattering flowers, and each wave would bring a lot of damage to the city, and the soldiers guarding the gate were hit or rubbed to either death or injury, and the power was very terrifying.

Wei Wuxian led people up from the side of the city, and there was a mess in front of him, the city was full of falling stone bullet fragments and smashed potholes, and the original clumsy appearance of the city tower was even more riddled with holes, the tiles and wood fell to the ground, and the dust was filled, and it was a tragic appearance.

There weren't many people injured by the defenders, and the impact of catapults on them was more of an inner shock. But even so, none of the soldiers left their posts without permission, and all of them squatted behind the battlements, which shows that Feng Xian's army is strong.

Feng Xian was directing his soldiers to install bed crossbows, and when he saw Wei Wuxian, a smile appeared on his face and said, "Brother Wei came just in time, can you help get those bed crossbows over." ”

The bed crossbow was so large that it would take at least seven or eight people to carry it. Feng Xian's people were basically placed outside, and there were only ten people left in the hiding cave on the right side, and they were all busy assembling bed crossbows now.

"Of course there is no problem!" Wei Wuxian immediately ordered several teams of people to carry out the three-bed crossbow that had been installed.

The seven people of the Qingyang Sect did not speak on the side, Wei Wuxian had already explained on the way, there was no need to meddle in other matters, their main task was to deal with the Northern Barbarian Monks.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Northern Barbarians to load stone bullets, Ji Yun and several other teams of crossbowmen carried out the three bed crossbows and placed them in relatively flat places. Wei Wuxian followed, and when the bed crossbow was placed, he immediately ordered a return fire.

The hit rate of the bed crossbow is compared to that of the catapult, and the two sides now depend on whose luck is better, whether the catapult smashes the bed crossbow first, or whether the bed crossbow shoots the catapult away.

However, after the city head had a bed crossbow, the soldiers hiding under the battlements of the city wall were somewhat bolder, and they stood up one by one, looking at the northern barbarian camp in the distance from the arrow hole.

The long-distance battle between the two sides was still going on, in which a bed crossbow on the city wall was hit by a stone bullet and scrapped, and the northern barbarians on the other side were killed and wounded by the javelins fired by the bed crossbows, and with the increase of bed crossbows on the city wall, the northern barbarians who operated the catapult on the opposite side were a little panicked.

There was a cheer on the city wall every time the bed crossbow shot the Northern Barbarians, and after a few times, three catapults on the opposite side were destroyed, and in addition, because of the continuous throwing, two catapults were too worn out to use, and only five catapults were still throwing stone projectiles at the city.

Two of the bed crossbows on the city wall were also smashed again, one bowstring was broken and unusable, and the remaining six bed crossbows continued to fight back at the Beiban catapult position in the distance.

The first day's attack ended after the destruction of the last catapult of the Northern Barbarians, and it can be seen from the whole process that it was only a tentative attack by the Northern Barbarians.

There were still three bed crossbows left on the jade bottle, this kind of long-range attack heavy weapon was very important for the situation in front of him, Ji Yun was leading people to clean up the mess, hoping to piece together one or two from the seven bed crossbows that were damaged.

Feng Xian was also arranging for people to clean up the city, and some complete stone bullets were collected, which could be used as rolling wood and stones when the Northern barbarians attacked the city in the future.

"Brother Wei, what kind of idea does this Northern Barbarian have, how can a sharp weapon like a catapult be easily taken out, the thunder is loud and the rain is small, what do you want to do?"

Wei Wuxian looked at the other side, he was also very confused by Feng Xian's question, and shook his head, indicating that he was not clear.

Today, the northern barbarians use a small catapult, throwing about 30 catties of stone bullets, the attack distance is 60 zhang, a catapult needs more than 50 people to control, very heavy, the attack power of this heavy weapon is super strong, the hit rate is extremely low, and it takes a covering attack to exert its true power.

Song Zhe said timidly on the side: "My lord, will those northern barbarians be experimenting with us?"

Wei Wuxian and Feng Xian glanced at each other, both of them had a strange feeling in their hearts, that is, they couldn't say it for a while, Song Zhe's words were like lighting a candle in the dark, and both of them were bright.

Feng Xiandao: "Experiment, then what do you say is the purpose of their experiment?"

Song Zhe scratched his head and said with a smile: "I don't know about this." ”

Wei Wuxian and Feng Xian were silent for a moment, and suddenly said in unison: "It's not good, their goal is Jialan Pass!"

The two looked at each other with a look of astonishment.

"My Lord..."

At this moment, Shen Tao's eager voice came from the steps of the side city wall.

Wei Wuxian couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he saw his panicked appearance!

"My lord, the Jialan Pass has been broken!"

"What..."

Wei Wuxian and Feng Xian were both stunned by the news.

Jialan Pass is only more than 100 miles away from Yubei Pass, and it is the largest and most important one among the more than ten passes connecting Lingzhou and Beiman, where a town of military horses is stationed.

The Great Xia military system has three battalions in one town, one battalion and ten guards, one guard and ten teams, and one team of ten people. According to the regular system, there are about 3,500 people in a town, and the main general will be the captain of Rongbian, the military attache of the seventh grade, and the Jialan Pass and the Jade Bottle Pass are not at the same level at all.

"According to the news, an hour ago, two hundred catapults were used at the same time, and Jialan Pass did not hold on for long, not long ago, more than 3,000 defenders were all killed, and Captain Jin was also martyred!"

This is not good news, there is only one Binyang Town in more than 100 miles between Jialan Pass and Yuhua Pass, and Daxia sent a battalion of soldiers in Binyang Town to half of them to Yuhua Pass, which can be reached in an instant, and then this side will be attacked by the enemy, and its seriousness can be imagined.

Of course, the other party may also go to Qiushui Town and kill directly to Quyang County, but as long as there is a possibility, it is very dangerous, and Wei Wuxian and the others can't help but worry.

Wei Wuxian asked, "What about the situation over there in Lingzhou City?"

Shen Tao said: "Lingzhou City has already sent troops, and they will arrive in Binyang Town in about half an hour." ”

Wei Wuxian and Feng Xian breathed a sigh of relief, now it seems that the catapults of the Northern Barbarians were really experimenting with the siege of the city early this morning, and only after confirming the effect did they launch a fierce attack on Jialan Pass.

Two hundred catapults attacked at the same time, and the momentum was like a cold sweat when you think about it, and the overwhelming stone projectiles were thrown onto the Jialan Pass, and it was difficult for the defenders of the Jialan Pass without any preparation to resist.

Wei Wuxian said: "Commander Feng, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight, so I have to guard against the Northern Barbarians on the opposite side taking the opportunity to steal the camp!"

"Brother Wei is extremely worried, I will explain it, if I don't remove my armor tonight, I will wait for them in the city. ”

Wei Wuxian looked at Feng Xian's departing back and said to Shen Tao: "You also order, let everyone cheer up, don't be negligent." ”

Shen Tao took the order, and the seven people of the Qingyang Sect who had been on the other side walked over, and Ma Laosan said, "Are you worried about those Northern Barbarian monks?"

Wei Wuxian nodded, the peaks on both sides of the mountain that he was worried about now, a single monk fighting head-on was not terrible for the army, but if the sword went sideways and sneaked up to the peak, the moon and the dark wind would not be enough for ordinary soldiers.

"Senior Brother Xie, please stay on the left with Senior Brother Luo, and if you encounter Northern Barbarian monks, try to hold them back. ”

Xie Sanyi and Luo Kun said: "No problem. ”

Wei Wuxian said to Gu He and Bai Zizai again: "The two senior brothers are in charge of the mountain peak on the right, and they also only need to try to drag the people who come." ”

Gu He and Bai Zizi also gave up.

Wei Wuxian turned back to Ma Laosan and said, "You guys just stay in Guancheng and pay close attention to the movements on the other side." ”

Ma Laosan said: "Everything is up to you." ”

Wei Wuxian told the seven people the password to prevent a misunderstanding with the defenders on the mountain.
