Qin Yi gave an order, and twelve catapults suddenly exploded, and stones flew towards Shaxiang City, crashing down suddenly!

Qin Yi's army not only built a few more catapults, but also collected a lot of stones. He has decided that this time, he will use stone bullets to attack the city wall with all his strength.

Wait until the city is broken, then send troops to attack the city.

In order to prevent the King of War from escaping again, he has also made some preparations.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the walls of Shaxiang City were smashed, causing gravel to fly and dust and mist filling the air.

There are also catapults in the city, which constantly shoot stones outside the city, but they are quite inferior, with far insufficient range and accuracy, and often miss the mark.

After projection for a long time, the entire Shaxiang City was completely shrouded in dust and fog, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.

Qin Yi immediately ordered to stop throwing stones.

Afterwards, the dust and fog on the top of the city slowly descended and continued to disperse.

Until the dust had settled, Qin Yi couldn't help but frown when he saw the appearance on the top of the city!

I saw only the top of Shaxiang City. The city wall collapsed and rubble was everywhere on the ground, but... there was no one!

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Qin Yi thought of something and couldn't help but sneer.

Many soldiers also saw the appearance of the city, and they were suddenly surprised and whispered.

There were enemy soldiers just now, where are they now?

Could it be that they were all stoned to death?

Qin Yi didn't think much and immediately opened the war map and saw groups of soldiers at the west gate of Shaxiang City, fleeing to the west!

He immediately understood that it must be the King of War who ordered the retreat!

He couldn't help but shake his head. Unexpectedly, after the war king was defeated repeatedly, his spirit fell into the mud, and he had no spirit of a famous general.

Now, he didn't even dare to fight and just ran away.

Perhaps the other party knows that Sha Xiangcheng cannot be defended at all.

The Guilian City behind Sha Xiang is a fortified city. Perhaps the opponent wanted to bring troops and horses to garrison in Guilian, so he abandoned Sha Xiang City.

But why didn’t the other party give up earlier?

As soon as he had this idea, Qin Yi's eyes were attracted by a huge red dot hundreds of miles away in the northwest.

He immediately understood that the War King must have been preparing to defend Shaxiang to the death when he suddenly received news that Dali troops were coming to help.

Therefore, the war king decisively abandoned Sha Xiang in order to save his life and wait for reinforcements.

In other words, Shaxiang City is not worth his life to defend.

Suppressing his speculation, Qin Yi squinted his eyes and pondered.

In an instant, he had a plan.

Escape?

A dying person, no matter how much he tries to escape, cannot escape from the point of his blade!

He immediately shouted, "Come here, send an order to General Jing to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to take over Shaxiang City, strengthen management, and not disturb the people!"

Then, he squinted slightly and looked northwest.

Heavy troops coming to help?

Just in time, he can take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Dali's effective forces in one fell swoop!

……

Because of his serious injury, the King of War on horseback did not dare to ride his horse too fast and could only move forward slowly.

Compared to infantry, its speed is not much faster.

The reason why he abandoned Shaxiang City and led many soldiers to the west was precisely because he received a secret message that heavy troops were coming for reinforcements.

Previously, when he rushed to the city wall with the support of his own soldiers, he learned the news on the way. After thinking for a while, he made the decision to abandon Sha Xiang.

It is difficult to hold on to Shaxiang, and it is likely to fall before reinforcements arrive, and the soldiers and horses in the city will be massacred.

Even he may not be able to escape death!

Therefore, it is better to give up decisively before the war starts and gain a chance to escape.

Presumably the enemy soldiers had just realized that there was no one in the city at this moment, but he had already run more than ten miles away. By the time the enemy wanted to pursue him, he had already run dozens of miles and was about to arrive at Guilian City.

This is the opportunity!

The enemy soldiers lost the opportunity. Even if they pursued urgently, they could only catch up with a few infantrymen in the rear, but he had already escaped!

Thinking of this, even though his face was as pale as paper, War King still showed a proud smile.

He finally got along with Qin Yi!

No matter how good the other party is in predicting events, it is difficult for him to think of this in advance.

The more he thought about it, the happier the War King became, and the smile on his lips continued to grow. He really wanted to see how shocked Qin Yi would be when he learned that there was no one at the top of the city.

It's a pity that I couldn't see it...

While he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the woods in the distance.

It's like...the sound of a crossbow being cocked?

The King of War was horrified and was about to stop shouting when he heard a loud bang.

The crossbow machine exploded!

Suddenly, a shower of arrows flew out from the forest and hit the soldiers of Dali.

"Chi!" The sound of an arrow hitting the body suddenly sounded.

Many soldiers fell down after being hit by arrows.

Some soldiers, whose injuries were not critical, fell to the ground and screamed in agony.

The King of War panicked and shouted repeatedly, "Form up to resist!"

However, many soldiers and horses, in order to escape faster, had no formation at all. Now that they were hit, they were even more confused and unable to form their formation.

At this moment, there was another banging sound in the forest!

The second round of arrows flew out. At this moment, the war king had dismounted his horse in embarrassment and wanted to hide behind the horse. However, he was severely injured and his movements were slow. He could only stagger and hurriedly circle around behind the horse.

Many of the soldiers were dead and fled, unable to take care of him.

Just as he was about to hide behind the horse, the King of War heard the neighing of the horse. He turned around and was shocked!

I saw a sharp arrow sticking out of the horse's butt!

As soon as he was frightened, the King of War suddenly felt a huge pain in his thigh, his whole body trembled, and he knelt down.

A sharp arrow penetrated deeply into his thigh!

The King of War's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the severe pain made his eyes dim and his whole body swayed.

"Bang bang bang!"

Another loud bang!

Like the horn of death, the war king regained some consciousness. He was almost out of his wits. He stretched out his hand towards the soldiers and screamed, but due to the huge pain, the sound was distorted and he could only make a "ho ho" sound.

He wanted his soldiers to take him to hide behind a tree, but many of the soldiers were already panicking and running towards the woods. He never thought that there would be a seriously wounded War King who needed help.

The sharp arrow was shot, but the war king who was still on the spot suddenly became a target!

Many arrows missed, pierced his body, and flew over, making a loud hissing sound.

And more arrows missed, piercing the flesh and blood, never passing through, and staying on the body.

In an instant, the war king was shot into a hedgehog!

His eyes widened, his whole body trembled, his right hand still stretched out, his whole body was soaked in blood, like a bloody man!

The vitality in his eyes slowly disappeared, and a trace of despair, anger, and unwillingness came up.

In the end, everything turned into nothingness.

The War King shuddered and fell down. His outstretched hand also fell and hit the ground.

The former number one general in Dali has fallen!

In the forest, after several rounds of arrows were fired, a group of powerful soldiers rushed out boldly and rushed towards the frightened Dali soldiers who hid in the forest.

The leader is none other than Gan Zijin!

This is Qin Yi's ambush. The ambush here is to prevent the King of War from escaping again.

Being on Qin Yi's must-kill list, the War King has no other option but death!

……

The surging river rushes past, and the waves hit the shore with a heavy sound.

The river here is the longest river in Dali, and its name is Lijiang.

The Lijiang River originates from the west and flows eastward. The water surface is wide and the current is rapid, dividing the north and south of Dali.

After several cities in Jiangbei, there is Lidu.

On the south bank of Lijiang River, there is an important city called Guilian.

Guilian City is adjacent to Lijiang River in the north and Lianshan Mountain in the west. The city walls are high and thick, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
