"Kill......"

Amidst the shouts that soared into the sky, Shi Zhixuan rushed to a small city with three thousand black-armored soldiers.

When you step within 100 steps, you will "swish ......", and a rain of arrows will fall from the city.

Although Shi Zhixuan shouted in time: "Raise the shield!", but in the rapid running, the defense was not good, and not all the soldiers were equipped with shields, so they still ruthlessly took away the lives of batches of soldiers to the rain of arrows.

After all, it is a small city, the defenders at the head of the city are neither too many, nor elite, the arrow rain is sparse and sparse, and the accuracy is average, only after three rounds of random shooting, the Zhou army led by Shi Zhixuan approached under the city wall.

With the concerted efforts of more than 300 pioneers, more than 10 siege ladders quickly probed to the female wall of the city.

The defenders of the city also tried to open the ladder with poles, spears, spears, and other things, or threw out fire pots, torches, and other objects in an attempt to burn the ladder......

Shi Zhixuan drew his sword and pointed at the head of the city, shouting: "Archers prepare!"

When the 500 archers and nearly 1,000 foot soldiers carrying bows and arrows heard the order, they immediately drew their bows and arrows, each aiming at their targets.

The pitch-black sword embryo in Shi Zhixuan's hand swung violently, "Release the arrow!"

"Whoosh ......"

Dense black rays roared into the air, crossed a slight arc, and poured down on the city.

"Ah......h

Although most of them missed or hit the city walls, the screams of the city heads continued one after another, and the defenders, who were busy dealing with the siege ladders, fell like dumplings under the city and fell to pieces.

Those who were lucky enough not to fall to death were even worse, and they served as stepping stones for countless Zhou troops, and they were trampled into flesh and mud alive.

Seeing that the defenders of the city were still interfering with the erection of the ladder, Shi Zhixuan shouted again, "Release the arrows!"

After several waves of arrows, I felt that the defenders of the city were finally timid. The efficiency of interfering with the ladder was much weaker, so Shi Zhixuan changed the order: "The archers are free to shoot and cover the ladder......"

Two hundred cavalry soldiers were scattered in an arc in the rear, led by Pei Zhao and other cousins, who acted as a reserve force to suppress the formation and deal with emergencies. It also acts as a gendarmerie to pursue and execute anyone who dares to escape.

After a moment, "Bang!"

A ladder finally successfully hit the city, and the thick iron hook at the top of the ladder also successfully hooked the *female* wall, and it was difficult to be pushed away by the defenders, and the upper end of the ladder was very long and wrapped in iron sheets, even if the defenders wanted to cut or burn the ladder, it was impossible.

"Go!"

There is no need for Shi Zhixuan to give an order, under the stimulation of the first merit of ascending the city. The soldiers bit the backs of their swords, frantically climbed the ladder, and rushed to the city.

With the first, there was the second, and soon several more ladders were erected one after another......

However, after a large number of Zhou troops climbed to the top of the city and mixed with the defenders, the defenders no longer had to fear the well-trained archers of the Zhou army, and the strength of the counterattack gradually increased.

The offensive and defensive sides do not give in. The killing was in full swing, and from time to time soldiers on both sides fell from the head of the city to the bottom of the city with a miserable cry. Bloody falls......

It's a pity that the number of Zhou troops who climbed to the top of the city is limited after all, and it is difficult to take the advantage!

Shi Zhixuan saw everything in his eyes, and couldn't help frowning slightly, secretly thinking: It's just a small city, and the resistance is so fierce, it seems that the Qi country has not completely lost the hearts of the people now. The battle will be even more difficult in the future!

In order to prevent being harassed by small groups of soldiers and horses in the surrounding towns during the attack on Kim Yong Shing, Yu Wenyong ordered the generals to lead their troops and horses to uproot many small cities around Kim Yong Shing and annihilate his garrison.

And the city in front of him is already the third small city that Shi Zhixuan has led the army to storm in the past few days, and the strength of the Qi army's defense is unexpectedly tenacious!

No matter. Let's take this small city first...... Shi Zhixuan's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from his horse's back and shot diagonally towards the nearest ladder.

Then, amid the cheers of his subordinates, and under the frightened eyes of the enemy soldiers at the head of the city, Shi Zhixuan rushed to the head of the city along the ladder as if he were walking on the ground.

The morale of the Zhou army under the city was greatly boosted for a while, and "the general is mighty...... The general is invincible!"

It was only more than ten zhang high in the blink of an eye, and when Shi Zhixuan approached the city, he took another leap, and then fell to the most fierce place of the fierce battle, condescendingly, and the pitch-black sword embryo waved fiercely.

"Sneer......"

The sharp and domineering condensed sword qi soared wildly, and more than ten defenders spurted blood from their necks, and before they could even scream, their heads rose to the sky and fell to the city.

"Thieves dare to ......"

With a few angry shouts from far or near, several orthodox figures shook off the enemy in front of them, and quickly flew over, waving various blades to surround Shi Zhixuan, clearly a master among the defenders, trying to drag or strangle him!

With a cold snort, the pitch-black sword embryo in Shi Zhixuan's hand slashed left and right, and his strength was in the air, and everywhere he went, blood was like a waterfall, shattering everything like a withering and decaying.

Those second- and third-rate masters who rushed over were no different from ordinary soldiers under his sword, they were all killed with one sword, and those who saw a bad opportunity immediately turned around and fled, Shi Zhixuan didn't even have any interest in chasing and killing.

Gradually, the pitch-black sword embryo drank countless blood, and the murderous aura overflowed, and Shi Zhixuan only felt that the sword heart that was dormant in the depths of his mind was about to move again......

While secretly surprised, he became more and more ferocious and ruthless, rampaging through the city, invincible.

Finally, in the midst of the sword whining and crying, the large defenders in front of him could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, and their spirits collapsed, and they scattered and fled in the midst of this cries and cries......

The soldiers of Zhou cheered and chased after them, and when they looked at the mighty and invincible Shi Zhixuan, who was like a god and demon, they all felt fanatical and firm reverence.

As for the slight dissatisfaction with the fact that he was the main general but was lazy everywhere when he was training, he disappeared without a trace at some point......

......................................................................................................

"Huhuhu......"

The autumn wind blows, and the flag hunts.

The sky was getting dark, and a group of nearly 100 knights watched Kim Yong City and its guards from a distance, all with heavy faces.

This city is rectangular from north to south, more than four miles long, less than four miles wide, if you look at it according to the size, it is an authentic small city.

What is more difficult to deal with, however, than all the big cities, is whether this small city is a purely military fortress, or whether it is built on the scale of the defensive fortress of Qidu Yecheng, with high walls and thick defenses.

There are no people in the city, so that the enemy spies have nothing to hide, once tens of thousands of elite soldiers are stationed, and there is plenty of food and grass, no one in the world dares to say that they will be able to capture this city!

Unfortunately for Yuwen Yong, because the Zhou and Qi countries have been fighting frequently for many years, and this city has the heavy responsibility of defending Luoyang, it has always hoarded sufficient soldiers, horses, grain and grass.

Yu Wenyong asked with a side face: "How long will it take for reinforcements from Jinyang (Taiyuan, Shanxi) of Qi State to arrive?"

When the Northern Qi was on the offensive, the troops of the three towns were concurrently attacking the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and when the Northern Qi was on the defensive, the three towns supported each other.

This is all the old routine that the Northern Qi Dynasty has tried and tested, and the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are not surprised!

Yang Suying, the new royal celebrity, said: "Qi Youcheng Gao Anaqiu has led his troops from Jinyang a few days ago, and it is expected that it will come in another half a month. ”

Half a month is not a short time, but for the Zhou army, which wants to gnaw the hard bone of Kim Yong Cheng first and then conquer Luoyang, the time is quite urgent.

If the Northern Qi reinforcements arrived, the Zhou army had not yet conquered Luoyang, it would inevitably fall into an extremely passive situation, if you don't want to fall into a protracted war of attrition, it is not impossible to return this time in vain!

Yu Wenyong took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly became firm, and he said in a deep voice: "From tomorrow, the attack on Kim Yong City will begin!"

Shi Zhixuan felt that he was worried with crazy complicated thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: The emperor at this time is no different from ordinary gamblers, no one is willing to fail, even if he faintly feels that he will lose......

Staring at the almost wavy Jin Yong City Wall from afar, Shi Zhixuan couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this is the "fortress" of this era!

The only thing that is certain is that the designer of this city must have been the best military artist in the world, otherwise how could he be so ingenious and build such an almost epoch-making system of fortifications......

It was only at this time that Shi Zhixuan understood why Li Mi in history would take this Jin Yong City as his capital and become addicted to the emperor, at least this kind of city is the best to guard, the easiest to keep, and can extend his emperor career as long as possible!

Yu Wenyong suddenly turned his head to look at Shi Zhixuan, and said solemnly: "The generals in our army, no one who is good at fighting can go out of Pei Qing's right, tomorrow's first battle, after the ladder is erected, I will concentrate the most elite five thousand armor soldiers to rush in a wave, and Pei Qing will personally lead the main attack!"

Shi Zhixuan raised his eyebrows, turned to a look of eagerness, and responded: "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust!"

Speaking from the heart, in the face of this kind of hard bones, Shi Zhixuan thought that he could fight and resist no matter how much he could, and he didn't dare to pack a ticket to successfully break the city. (To be continued.) )
