Early next morning

Nangong Yu in Lingzhou City has become more and more moody since the Yu Jin incident, and his attitude towards the soldiers around him has become more and more bad. He often verbally abuses, punches and kicks. It seems that everyone is a traitor in his eyes.

Every time he went to inspect the city tower, Nangong Yu always felt that his subordinates looked at him with something strange in their eyes, as if they already knew his secret, which made him more and more panicked.

In addition, Prince Fu's reinforcements were waiting and waiting, but Nangong Yu, who was irritated in the house, suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, with a large number of people walking around and making noisy noises.

"Bastard! What happened!" Nangong Yu slammed his fist on the table, and the water glass on the table was knocked to the ground. It shattered into several pieces with a bang, and the tea was spilled in the blink of an eye.

"General, it's bad!" A soldier rushed in from the door in a panic. In his haste, he tripped over the threshold and fell down.

"Idiot! You don't look like a soldier at all!" Seeing the embarrassed look of his men, Nangong Yu became even more angry.

The soldiers got up and knelt on the ground in panic. They didn't dare to raise their heads and said, "Liangzhou, the Liangzhou army is preparing to attack the city!"

Nangong Yu's face instantly darkened.

At this moment, the army was densely crowded outside Lingzhou City, and the sky was full of banners, whistling in the autumn wind, which made the Lingzhou defenders feel chilly.

Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng were sitting high on the general platform, waiting to attack the city. All the siege operations today were directed by Ye Xiaoxiao, and they only had to watch.

"Have everything been arranged?" Looking at the fighting spirit of the army around him, Chen Yue still couldn't worry about King Fu's movements and asked.

Chu Yucheng stood up and responded: "Last night, two generals, Zhu Tianhe and Xue Meng, went out to the heavy armored camp. More than 20,000 people from the left cavalry have retreated 20 miles to camp, to beware of King Fu's reinforcements."

Although everyone is laughing and joking in private, talking about brother-in-law, once on the battlefield, everyone will unconsciously become serious.

Chenyue nodded and turned to look at the battlefield aside.

Ye Xiaoxiao and Li Batian stood on horseback in front of the formation, overlooking the city of Lingzhou. Behind them were a large number of Liangzhou's new troops, and among them were a group of strange-looking soldiers.

Seeing Chen Yue's look, Ye Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, waved his hand, and a cavalryman holding a command flag flew out, rushed towards the army, and shouted angrily:

"General's order! Attack!"

"Boom!"

One after another, the siege cloud carts were pushed out from the formation and quickly advanced towards the Lingzhou city wall. There were twenty soldiers on both sides of the wheels holding shields and pushing the carts. There were also many crossbows hidden in the cloud carts.

.

"catapult!"

Following the order, dozens of catapults in the formation were like giant dragons spraying water. Huge boulders roared out and hit the head of Lingzhou City fiercely.

"Infantry! Advance!"

Following the cloud chariot, a large group of infantry jumped out of the formation. The soldiers in the front row held their shields high. Behind them, the Liangzhou recruits held crossbows and their quivers were filled with arrows.

The strange thing is that after the army arrived at the city tower, not a single soldier boarded the city. Once they entered the range of the crossbows, they immediately stopped and established a defense line on the spot.

Behind each row of shield bearers were two rows of crossbowmen, both of whom were selected by Ye Xiaoxiao to be good at shooting. The two rows took turns to shoot arrows. After the arrows were fired, they immediately hid them under the shields. Ye Xiaoxiao's order was to ignore the shooting.

Whether it's accurate or not, just shoot into the city.

Because there is no moat outside the city of Lingzhou, Yunche easily reached the city wall all the way. Crossbow arrows continued to be fired from the Yunche archery tower. After emergency heightening, the Yunche was already flush with the city wall of Lingzhou.

The defenders on the city tower caused great damage.

Catapults, cloud carts and thousands of crossbowmen outside the city jointly weaved a large net of arrows and boulders, which fell overwhelmingly into the city.

The defenders on the city were stunned by the sudden and intensive offensive, and fell into chaos, causing heavy casualties.

Hearing the news that the Liangzhou Army had begun to attack the city, Nangong Yu and Xiao Qiu hurriedly rushed to the tower. As soon as they emerged, a flying arrow swished past Nangong Yu's eyes and shot down an infantryman.

The blood almost splashed onto Nangong Yu's face, and he broke into a cold sweat.

A dozen shield soldiers quickly gathered around and protected the two of them.

"Counterattack! Don't be chaotic! All shields are on the towers! Archers and crossbowmen are firing arrows!" Xiao Qiu shouted loudly. Compared to the panicked Nangong Yu, he was calmer and immediately began to direct the battle.

Immediately after regaining consciousness, the city defenders began to rain down waves of arrows from the top of the city. Unfortunately, the surroundings of the cloud chariot were covered with iron sheets, so the arrows could not penetrate at all.

The crossbowmen outside the city were also covered by shields. Even though the Lingzhou defenders kept firing arrows, they failed to cause any damage to the siege army.

"It's really strange, how come the Liangzhou army only fires arrows but doesn't attack the city?" Nangong Yu frowned.

Xiao Qiu also had a gloomy look on his face, constantly observing the movements of the Liangzhou Army from his shield. If something went wrong, there must be a monster. Xiao Qiu believed that the Liangzhou Army must have a back-up plan.

This weird scene lasted until noon. During this half-day, Liangzhou's crossbowmen were replaced several times. After all, continuous shooting of arrows caused a great loss to the arm muscles, so the strength of the arrow rain could only be ensured through rotation.

Unfortunately, there was no one to replace the soldiers on top of the city. This continuous exchange of bows and crossbows made them unable to lift their arms, and the force of the arrows shot out of the city was getting weaker and weaker.

Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng, who were watching the battle from the general stage, were also full of doubts, but since they had given the command to Ye Xiaoxiao, they did not ask any more questions.

Seeing that the arrow rain above the city was getting weaker and weaker, Ye Xiaoxiao had a smile on her lips, pulled the reins, and rode with Li Batian to the group of strange soldiers in the army.

I saw these thousands of people, wearing only a short-sleeved single shirt in the howling autumn wind, with their shirts tied and their hair tied up, and only a pair of knee-length black shorts on their lower bodies. The soldier had a round bamboo shield tied to his left arm, and he held it with his right hand and inserted it behind his back.

The handle of the war knife was in the cowhide scabbard, and everyone's face showed a fierce look, and the muscles all over the body were bulging.

This 5,000-strong infantry obviously formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding armored soldiers, which was very strange.

These people are the most capable soldiers carefully selected by Ye Xiaoxiao from the new army. Standing at the front are a group of original officers led by Deputy Qianhu Chiji, who will be the first to climb the city.

Everyone knows that those who attack the city first will suffer the most casualties, but they also know that joining the Liang Army does not mean that they will really be respected by their fellow soldiers. If they don't fight hard, they will always be inferior to others.

There is only one battle!

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes slowly swept across these five thousand people, five thousand cold eyes, five thousand figures going to death, with murderous intent!

"You new soldiers in Liangzhou!" Ye Xiaoxiao shouted loudly, and everyone looked at him sideways: "Our Liang army will fight to the death when encountering the enemy from top to bottom. Everyone can die, but you!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Chapter completed!
