The drums of war shook the sky.

As the dawn of the morning sun shone on the head of Kim Yong Castle, the blackened Zhou army launched wave after wave of attacks from all directions, shouting to kill the heavens.

The source of the moat has long been cut off, and more than 10,000 forward troops of the Zhou army are raising their shields to withstand the rain of arrows pouring from the city, filling a large section of the moat outside the main city gate with sand and stones.

When Zhu Yuyan quietly ascended the city tower, she saw the soldiers of Zhou spread out densely on the plain, and the big banner with the word "Zhou" and the flags of the generals with each surname fluttered in the wind at the Chinese army, and the military appearance was prosperous and the power was pressing.

The commotion rose to the sky, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

When the arrows rained down and smashed another offensive of the Zhou army, the Zhou army finally retreated temporarily and regrouped.

Zhu Yuyan's face was solemn as she glanced at the huge array of tens of thousands of elite soldiers spread outside the city, and her heart was at a loss.

Although she is the most outstanding descendant of the Yin Sect in a hundred years, with extraordinary martial arts and excellent wisdom, it is the first time that she has faced this situation of thousands of troops and facing off against the battlefield.

After the initial shock, she became indifferent to this tragic scene, and she could still measure the performance of the offensive and defensive sides in a timely manner...... Be a pretty bystander!

After all, no matter what, she is a complete demon girl, and if she sounds good, she is obedient, and if she says it is bad, she is cruel and cold-blooded, how can she take the death and injury of those soldiers who she regards as ants to heart?

Couldn't help but fantasize about how she would deal if she was replaced to preside over the city defense?

Anyway, she is also well-versed in the past and the present, and is familiar with military books and war strategies, although she doesn't know what to do. Or maybe it's just a piece of paper......

Yu Wenyong's Chinese army was spread out on a small knoll. The top of the mound erected a high and handsome platform. High on the stage. You can overlook the entire plain outside the city, which is convenient for commanding a large army to attack the city.

There are also several watchtowers about 20 zhang high on the side of the mound, which are used to overlook the head of Kim Yong Castle and the general situation of the city.

Under the hill, the Praetorian Guard Army, which is mainly cavalry and heavily equipped with armor, is a guard. There were still two units in the rear of the Chinese army, which could be used to defend the rear road and serve as reinforcements.

The more than 10,000 vanguard troops at the forefront were composed of shield soldiers, archers, sword and axe men, and fortification soldiers, and were equipped with the necessary equipment for siege such as sasswood, ladders, and building carts.

In the morning, the siege was frustrated. The losses of troops and tools are not light, and the generals of the various armies are stepping up the deployment of manpower and repairing equipment.

Everything seemed to be hectic and busy, but it was faintly orderly, showing that the Zhou army was indeed well-trained, far from being comparable to any rabble.

The left and right flank armies each had 5,000 people, and the Qing style was cavalry, which was designed to prevent the cavalry in the city from suddenly attacking the city when the infantry of the forward army attacked the city.

The sun rises in the middle of the sky and shines on the earth. The shimmering weapons add to the atmosphere of killing.

The drums of war are beating.

More than 70 iron vertical cars are dedicated to blocking arrows. Moving towards Kim Yong Castle, there were more than a dozen archers hidden behind each vehicle, and as long as they reached the right distance, they could shoot arrows at the city from behind a large iron plate that was two feet high, covering the attack of others.

Although in Shi Zhixuan's eyes, this kind of siege equipment is quite rudimentary and backward, in the eyes of any famous general of this era, these iron-plated cars that seem to have no sense of beauty and are just like tombstones are no joke.

The carts began to push forward, moving towards the city walls like towers.

The warriors on the stairs, because the height is similar to the wall, can not only envelop the entire city within the range of arrows, but also when the city wall is slapped, the warriors can directly step on the wall and attack the city.

"Moo Moo ......"

The sound of the horn was loud, stretching mathematically.

Hundreds of catapults, driven by hundreds of fortifications, came first, overtook the building carts, and chased after the iron-plated trucks.

"Kill...... Kill...... Kill ......"

More than 60,000 Zhou troops shouted in unison, the war horses neighed, and the wind and clouds outside Kim Yong City changed color in an instant.

Even though the Qi army defending the city was also well-trained, it still frightened the Zhou army into fear, but the forward soldiers of the Zhou army who were gradually approaching the city were all demoralized and shouted in unison, shaking the heavens and the earth.

On the handsome platform of the hill, Shi Zhixuan's long body stood quietly beside Yuwen Yong, completely incorporating the mighty and majestic momentum of the Zhou army into his eyes.

And Yu Wenyong next to him was full of momentum, not to mention that his eyes were scorching, and even Ashina Rouran, You Chuhong, Gao Yi and the palace maids under the cover of the parasol behind him were all blushing and enthusiastic.

Ashina's soft and beautiful eyes flickered, constantly scanning the siege method of the Zhou army, and secretly remembering it.

Historically, the grassland tribes have only been good at cavalry warfare and field warfare, and they are clumsy in city offensive and defensive warfare.

However, the most in the Central Plains is a high-walled and fortified city, and the more rich the heart, the more dense the city, if the Turks want to invade the Central Plains, they must not pass the siege strategy!

Approaching the city wall, the fortifiers and shield soldiers pushing the ladder began to move at an accelerated pace, followed by the wooden chariots that rushed against the gates of the city wall.

The arrow stopper is approaching the range of the trebuchet at the head of the city.

"Throwing Stones and Arrows......"

The Shen Ran, full of true qi, spread from the city, the voice was high but not high, spreading all over the hills and mountains, outside the city and in the city, still lingering, it can be seen that the skill of the master of the city guard is exquisite, and it is already a real grandmaster level.

As soon as the shouts fell, hundreds of boulders bounced up by hundreds of trebuchets and countless powerful arrows rained down on the wall, and the cars turned over for a while, which was extremely tragic.

The offensive and defensive battles begin again!

After a while, the first wave of the Zhou army's offensive was crushed by the vigorous defenders of the city.

Shi Zhixuan and Yuwen Yong in the rear gathered their eyes and watched the battle from afar, and clearly saw that the Zhou army had left hundreds of corpses under the city, more than a dozen tattered arrow blocking cars, building cars, countless bows and arrows and weapons, but they were not surprised.

Siege warfare, especially the storming of a strategic fortress like Kim Yong Cheng, is not something that can be accomplished overnight. The losses were so terrible that any hard-hearted admiral was shocked!

Shi Zhixuan's skill and eyesight far surpassed the rest of the others, so he noticed it even more, taking advantage of this gap. The fortifications, composed of all young and strong, constantly transported arrows and stones to the wall. Make up for what you just consumed. The walls are full of figures running back and forth......

After a little hesitation, Shi Zhixuan admonished Yuwen Yong: "Your Majesty, the commander of the city defense is a battlefield general, and his command is strict, if he attacks the city according to conventional means, I am afraid that ten days and a half months will be ......."

Yu Wenyong bowed slightly, understood what he meant, and immediately turned to the herald under the handsome stage and shouted, "The next wave of offensive." Ordered Lu Qi, Qin Shou, Fang Ke...... The generals personally led their troops to the city!"

He Quan, who was standing behind Yu Wenyong, heard that the emperor had reported the names of more than 20 middle and senior generals of the three armies who were famous for their military force in one breath, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a cool breath, and at the same time, he was even more surprised that Pei Ju's influence on the emperor was growing day by day, almost obedient!

Of course, Shi Zhixuan also understood this, but he was not surprised.

After all, the three first-class top masters he killed yesterday were identified by the old people in the army, and they were indeed senior generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty who had been famous for more than ten years, and they were also the confidants of the late famous general Hu Luguang of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

A few days ago, he broke through several small cities, and he was finally promoted to the rank of hussar general. Officially entered the ranks of top generals, and as usual, he had the right to command 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"Bang ......"

The drums of war are ringing. Before the remnants of the army retreated, another group of more than 8,000 foot soldiers began to advance towards the city wall again, so that the defenders at the head of the city were overwhelmed.

Bursts of powerful arrows from the arrow stacks at the head of the wall shot towards the swarming Zhou army.

Zhu Yuyan stood in the corner of the city tower, looking at the two bulky building cars sandwiched between the siege soldiers, and they rushed straight over with extremely rapid momentum, and couldn't help but be beautiful and slightly picky.

In the next moment, before the building car arrived, more than 20 people had jumped up from the building car and swept to the top of the city.

"Kill......"

In the stunned eyes of the defenders, these twenty people drew their swords in unison, and with loud shouts, they rushed towards them like tigers descending from the mountain.

"Ding...... Poof......"

The sound of weapons colliding, the sound of sharp blades entering the flesh, and the screams of dying are one after another, the blood is like a waterfall, and the stumps are flying wildly.

In a few breaths, these more than 20 people emptied a section of the city wall six or seven zhang long, so that there was no obstacle from the defenders, and the Zhou army outside the city seized the time and quickly erected three cloud ladders.

High in the corner of the city tower, Zhu Yuyan looked down at the one-sided scene of the city head on the left, knowing that this was a surprise attack by the master of the other party's organization, but she carefully looked at the skills of these more than 20 people, but shook her head slightly.

These people seem to have been in battle for a long time and have a good momentum, but all of them are second-rate masters, and most of them are tentative......

Sure enough, a moment later, the city defender had urgently dispatched more than a dozen masters to gather over, among which the extraordinary first-class masters stopped the ravages of these people, killed more than half of them, and cooperated with the elite soldiers to drive them back down the city.

On the handsome stage of Xiaoqiu, Yu Wenyong silently watched this scene, couldn't help but squint slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally turned his head to look at Shi Zhixuan and said, "Pei Qing......

The garrison in the city seems to be beyond our expectations, and in addition to the 25,000 veterans, there are so many elite masters hiding in the city!"

Shi Zhixuan said in a deep voice: "It should be specially mobilized from Luoyang and the surrounding cities......

After a pause, he said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to order the five thousand elites gathered to let them eat and recuperate in the evening...... After nightfall, Wei Chen looked for a good opportunity to personally lead people to the city to charge the battle!"

"That's very good...... I guarantee that these 5,000 elites are all selected from various armies to be one of ten!" Yu Wenyong replied solemnly.

He also understood that according to the art of war, it was best to let the 60,000 troops under his command take turns to attack the city for several days, day and night, and when the defending soldiers were exhausted, and then sacrifice an invincible Gaidai fierce general like Pei Ju, in order to play a key role in the last straw that overwhelmed the opponent.

But the Northern Qi reinforcements will arrive within ten days, and he doesn't have that much time!

You Chuhong suddenly stepped forward and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to go with General Pei!"

Shi Zhixuan turned his head and glanced at her, causing her to blush slightly, and then glared at Shi Zhixuan viciously.

Among the generals waiting in front of the handsome platform, there were also several people who were unwilling to be lonely, and asked Yuwen Yong to clench his fists and ask for his life: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go with General Pei, and I beg Your Majesty for permission!"

Yu Wenyong smiled and raised his hand to make a fuss, and said loudly: "Since you Aiqing are eager to fight, how can I not allow it?"

Shi Zhixuan bowed his hand to them, and said: "Thank you for your love, Pei Mou must work with you to break through this city!"

Yu Wenyong laughed. It seems very gratifying. The generals are also ambitious.

Only Shi Zhixuan still had a faint expression. Thanks to the spiritual sense that far exceeds everyone's cognition, he has barely screened out dozens of characters who are not weak from the nearly 30,000 complicated atmospheres that are bustling in the city.

The number of masters in the city is actually far beyond the imagination of Yu Wenyong and the generals!

Without the grandmaster-level means of exalting, he dared to go to the city with the courage of a moment, and was deeply surrounded by ten thousand armies, which was purely looking for death!

Of course, even if Shi Zhixuan said this at this time. The generals will not believe it, but will think that he wants to monopolize the great achievement of breaking the city, and they will resent him because of it!

In other words, you always have to pay it back when you come out to mix...... Anyway, he is not the father of the generals, so there is no need to be responsible for their lives, so he can only say some things to deal with!

You Chuhong retreated to Ashina's side softly, but when she saw her winking ambiguously at herself, she couldn't help but look embarrassed, and her ears were crimson.

Gao Yi on the other side saw this scene, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. He pretended to inadvertently glance at Pei Ju, who was juxtaposed with Yuwen Yong in front of him, and withdrew his gaze. His eyes flickered.

She knew very well that a master like Pei Ju might be able to sense the change in her mood through her gaze fixed on him, so she didn't dare to stay on him too much.

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

"Boom!"

The wooden beating was like an angry dragon striking the city gate with a deafening loud noise.

The Zhou army suddenly launched another wave of fierce attacks.

Zhu Yuyan, who was sitting in the upper corner of the third floor of the city tower, woke up suddenly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the wall, which had been intact before, revealed a collapsed gap.

It should be the result of the enemy's trebuchet!

Outside the city, the light of torches filled the hills, and the sound of killing, the clatter of trebuchets, the screeching of wheels against the ground, and the rumbling of stones against the ground or walls.

"Whoa!"

Zhu Yuyan didn't need to look at it to know that this sound was the sound of boiling hot oil pouring under the city wall.

Sure enough, the next moment, "Ah...... My face hurts me......"

The terrible howls of the city confirmed her judgment.

In her mind, she imagined the tragic scene of boiling hot oil pouring on the human body, and even if she was such a cold witch who regarded human life as a mustard, she couldn't help but shudder secretly.

She rose to her feet, walked to the window, and with a wave of her left hand, she caught a stray arrow that had been shot from outside the city, and threw it on the ground.

The defending Qi army was running back and forth to resist the enemy, everyone's eyes were blood-red, and there seemed to be only one simple purpose in their minds, that is, to block and kill the invading enemy by any means.

There were corpses lying on the walls, and the red blood couldn't help but add to the blackened bloodstains, but no one had time to pay attention to them.

The sky is full of dense clouds, and the stars and moon are dark.

The brazier and torch hunting on the wall are burning high, dyed a blood-red, and what you see in front of you is like hell on earth!

On the first day of Kim Yong Cheng's offensive and defensive battle, she was killed so miserably, which was really beyond Zhu Yuyan's expectations, which made her feel heavy at the same time, and she couldn't help but secretly wonder: Is Yuwen Yong crazy?

The so-called profit cannot last long, Yuwen Yong let the Zhou army maintain such a fierce attack in a near-limit state, and it will not last for three or five days, and the soldiers will be tired, and the siege will be difficult to continue!

Since Yu Wenyong is not crazy, it is ...... Not good!

As soon as she thought of this, Zhu Yuyan hurriedly jumped down from the third floor, and was about to turn around and sweep to the first floor of the city tower, looking for the location of the city guard......

However, in the next moment, she saw a familiar figure in silver armor rising into the sky, fluttering and falling on the head of the city, and every flicker of the black residual rainbow in her hand would raise a blood mist among the defenders of the city.

The stump is flying, and the head is rolling!

In the next moment, more than a dozen orthopedic figures jumped to the head of the city, followed by the silver armor figure, and joined the ranks of the soldiers who slaughtered the city defenders.

For a while, it was like a bamboo, invincible!

Although more than a dozen first-class masters were nothing compared to the hidden power in the city, as soon as Zhu Yuyan saw him familiar, she immediately knew that the most dangerous moment in Kim Yong City today had arrived...... (To be continued.) )

PS: I suddenly received a call last night, a grandfather in his nineties fell and injured himself, and went to visit him early this morning, the road was very long, so I rushed back very late...... Woo, lack of time, dizzy in the car again, not in a state, today is a big chapter, kneel and beg forgiveness!
