Night fell slowly, and the earth became pitch black.

Although the night was already dark, Fifth Heart, who was alone, was still lying on the desk, studying the military reports sent from various places.

Tens of thousands of troops rushed to the capital early yesterday morning, and the scouts and horses set off first, so that the soldiers who stayed behind in the capital should take strict precautions.

There should be no serious problems on the capital side. With Xun'an's reinforcements, even if the Liang army does attack the capital, the defenders can hold it.

However, the Youtun Guards who went to support Quannan Pass never returned and there was no news. The several waves of scouts sent by Fifth Xinrou also had no news. This undoubtedly means that the war situation is developing in the worst direction.

There was a sense of helplessness in Wu Xinrou's heart. Jingcheng had to be saved, but if he saved Jingcheng, Yu Wenmao's army would suffer~

This time it seems that the fifth heart is defeated~

"Alas~"

The exhausted Fifth Xinrou sighed, and just lay on the desk and slowly fell asleep. I hope there will be good news when I wake up tomorrow morning~

The moonlight is dim, the stars are dotted, and the cold wind envelopes this Tongzhou city.

During the nearly one month since the Liang army retreated, the Long army finally had time to clean up the battlefield outside the city, burning all the corpses and cleaning up all the damaged siege equipment.

Now the outside of Tongzhou City looks much peaceful, and there is no such strong aura of death.

But the scars and arrow marks on the city wall tell everyone that a protracted siege battle broke out here, killing countless soldiers~

Groups of guards were swaying back and forth on the top of the city, and torches were constantly swaying in the darkness.

After Xun'an led his troops to help the capital, the soldiers of Zuotunwei took over the city defense. At this moment, military flags with the character "Long" were flying on the top of the city.

In fact, the real Zuo Tun Guards had been completely wiped out by the Liang Army near Nanchong City. The current 20,000 Zuo Tun Guards were made up of some broken troops and soldiers drawn from various ministries. They cannot be said to be very elite.

.

A sleepy-eyed patrol leader stood by the city wall, holding a torch and looking outside the city twice before looking away, and then continued patrolling.

After taking just two steps, this guy lay down on the battlement again and stuck his head out. Why did he feel that there was something moving outside the city just now?

He struggled to hold the torch and looked outside the city. There was some light nearby, but in the distance it was completely dark, and the weak moonlight could not provide enough light at all.

There seemed to be shadows flickering in the darkness, but there seemed to be no shadows~

Very weird.

"What the hell~"

The commander rubbed his eyes vigorously and slapped himself. He thought he was too sleepy and was dizzy.

"Still not~"

After taking a few more glances, the commander muttered to himself, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything.

But why is the uneasiness in his heart getting stronger and stronger?

After a slight hesitation, he turned around and shouted:

"Little Wuzi, fire off a round of rockets to explore the path!"

A soldier on the side responded:

"Tou, didn't you let it go not long ago? Why did you let it go again?"

"Let it go as long as you want, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

"okay!"

"Brothers, prepare rockets!"

"Prepare, release!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The arrows were coated with kerosene, and the feathered arrows ignited by sparks were shot out against the night wind.

The commander then withdrew his gaze and looked outside the city with his big eyes.

The shining rocket drew beautiful arcs in the air, looking extremely dazzling. But when the rocket landed and the fire flashed past, the commander was stunned.

He seemed to see countless black shadows flashing outside the city, like ghosts.

The commander looked at the soldiers beside him in stunned silence and asked stammeringly:

"Did you see it clearly?"

The dozen or so soldiers in this row were all messy in the wind, their eyes dull. One of them answered hesitantly:

"Okay, it seems there is someone."

"Whoosh!"

"Pfft!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, a jet-black arrow shot through his forehead in an instant. Blood spurted out and splashed on the face of the soldier next to him.

The commander was so frightened that he lost his mind and looked dull. After a moment of confusion, the commander roared behind him at the top of his lungs:

"The enemy is attacking, the Liang army is coming!"

The soldiers all reacted and roared loudly:

"Enemy attack!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Ah, ah ah~"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! The Liang army is coming!"

Roars and screams intertwined in the night sky, causing Tongzhou City, which had been quiet for a long time, to fall into panic.

Waves of arrows shot into the city from the dark night outside the city. The Long soldiers on the city began to fight back angrily:

"The crossbowmen counterattack and meet the enemy!"

"Beat the drums and prepare to fight!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"The whole army goes to the city and prepares to defend!"

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Just as roars broke out from the top of the city, the Long Army officers and soldiers on the front line heard an extremely clear and loud banging sound. When they took a closer look, they found a handful of iron hooks nailed firmly to the wall.

On the wall tiles.

"What is this stuff?"

A soldier subconsciously followed the hooks and stuck his head out. What he saw was densely packed human heads clinging to the city wall and ants clinging to the city. It was so terrifying~

An old soldier's eye sockets popped out, he stretched out his hand to grab the soldier next to him who was sticking his head out, and roared:

"Get out of the way!"

"Whoosh!"

"Pfft~"

It's a pity that the veteran's movement was still a beat slower, and a crossbow arrow shot cleanly through the infantry's forehead.

Until he was about to die, the soldier didn't even think about where the black shadows that kept climbing up the city came from.

Of course, in this scene, you can only follow him on the road to hell~

A cold face emerged from the darkness:

Beiliang is the first to arrive at the camp, and the general will be Fu Zi'an!

Fu Zian, who was strong and agile, held the rope tightly with both hands and stepped on the wall with the soles of his feet. Every step he took would bring him one step closer to the head of Tongzhou City.

The Liang army had been attacking outside Tongzhou City for nearly half a year. Fu Zi'an climbed and climbed the city wall countless times, but was repulsed by the Long army every time.

This time, Fu Zian and even the entire ten thousand soldiers who first ascended the camp and broke the city camp will never retreat again!

Murderous aura enveloped the whole city!

…

"Liang, Liang's army has invaded the city!"

"Meet the enemy, meet the enemy!"

"Hurry up and hit me with these rolling stones. Don't let them come up!"

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"Whoosh~"

"Pfft, pfft!"

"Stop, stop Liang Jun, don't retreat!"

After all, it was Tongzhou City where Fifth Xinrou was personally in charge. The Long Army's counterattack at the top of the city was extremely rapid, and soon groups of soldiers swarmed onto the city.

But the shouts of the generals became more and more panicked.

Because they found that their own movements were fast, and Liang Jun's movements were even faster!

"drink!"

A figure jumped in from outside the city and split the nearest Long Army infantry into two pieces with a gleaming blade.

Fu Zi'an, holding a scimitar in his hand, said with a ferocious smile:

"Tongzhou City~
Chapter completed!
