Feng Yeling leaned on the railing in front of the stone house in the mountain city and looked into the distance.

She looked at the enemies swarming down the mountain towards the city gate, and couldn't help but recall the scene when Zuo Dao led the Penglai Pavilion thugs to attack the mountain city.

Since she was overlooking from a high place, she saw that the people near the city gate were as small as ants. Feng Yueming led the crowd to guard the gate, while Sheng Yong's army was densely packed outside the gate, occupying the entire gentle slope over the mountains and plains.

Compared with the hundreds of thugs in Penglai Pavilion that time, Sheng Yong's invasion force this time was not a few hundred, nor a few thousand, but two hundred thousand. If the terrain of the mountain city was not extremely dangerous and the city gate was built on a narrow mountain road,

I'm afraid that if there are ten more Feng Yueming, it will be impossible to defend Sheng Yong's attack.

Last time she was caught by people from Penglai Pavilion. Fortunately, Lan Qiao arrived in time and rescued her with wisdom and courage. But at this moment, where is her "Qiao Chu"?

Xia Shuang, Little Sparrow and Shi Miao'er all stood behind Feng Yeling, watching the fierce battle at the city gate down the mountain, feeling equally nervous.

Since returning with Feng Yeling yesterday, Little Sparrow and Shi Miao'er, like Xia Shuang, have become Feng Yeling's personal maids. Xia Shuang was very happy to know that the young lady came home at first, but when she found out that there were two more maids

But he had a look of displeasure.

Especially the little sparrow. Because Xia Shuang was also taken to the underground arena in Qingzhou City, she felt particularly uncomfortable when facing the little sparrow who had killed people in the arena without blinking an eye.

In the end, Shi Miaoer persuaded her with gentle words, saying that now that Sheng Yong's army was pressing down on the country, the mountain city would fall in just a matter of seconds. Since everyone was doing it for the good of the eldest lady, there should be no more barriers between each other.

Although Xia Shuang is willful, he understands the overall situation after all. He knows that once the mountain city is lost, a small matter like Feng Yeling having a few maids will become meaningless. Little Sparrow and Shi Miaoer still accompany Feng Yeling here despite knowing that the road ahead is dangerous.

, which fully demonstrates their loyalty.

At this time, everyone must be in the same boat and work together to face the imminent disaster.

"Miss, please finish the soup and warm yourself up." Xia Shuang held a bowl of hot soup in her hand and tried to persuade Feng Yeling to drink it.

How could Feng Yeling want to drink soup? He rolled his eyes at her, but finally held back and did not reprimand her.

The little sparrow held up a cloak and said, "Although it's not winter now, it's still chilly when the mountain wind blows. Miss, please put some on it to avoid catching the wind and cold."

"No need." Feng Yeling said coldly, turning to Shi Miao'er who was helping her hold Lingge's halberd, "Bring me my halberd, I want to go down the mountain and fight."

"Miss, you can't go, it's too dangerous." Xia Shuang stamped her feet anxiously, stared at the little sparrow and Shi Miao'er and said, "You guys should also help persuade me."

Shi Miaoer knew what Feng Yeling had decided, and the advice from others was in vain, so he shook his head at Xia Shuang, and struggled to pass Lingge's halberd to Feng Yeling's hand.

The Lingge halberd was too heavy. Seeing that Shi Miaoer couldn't move it alone, the little sparrow helped her move it, and finally sent the halberd to Feng Yeling.

"Don't wander around." Feng Yeling grabbed the halberd and immediately trotted along the stone steps to the mountain gate. Finally, he turned back and smiled: "Don't worry Shuang'er, keep that bowl of soup and drink it when I come back."

The city gate of Liuchang Mountain City is located halfway up the mountain. It is two feet high and three feet wide. It is completely made of green bricks and is extremely strong.

The terrain here is very strange. The large area of ​​plains and gentle slopes at the foot of the mountain suddenly narrows halfway up the mountain, turning into a hard rocky road less than four feet wide. Not only is there no grass growing on it, but it is also often soaked by the mist on the mountain, making it extremely slippery.

If you are not careful, you can easily fall into the deep stream from both sides of the rocky road.

But this is the only entrance to the mountain city. Whoever wants to attack the mountain city must go up the mountain from here, and the city gate located at the end of the rocky road becomes a pass that invaders have to overcome.

Due to the special terrain, even if Sheng Yong had an army of 200,000, only a few hundred soldiers could directly participate in the battle on the front line. The soldiers of the Langya Army crowded into a small space inside the city gate. If they want to enter the city, they must step on it.

Carry their bodies over.

Feng Yueming's Langya army originally numbered three thousand, but later expanded to ten thousand. It was precisely because of the incomparable geographical advantage of the mountain city that no matter which general of the southern army came to attack, he could always guard the city gate and drive the nail of the mountain city deep.

Rooted in the hinterland of Shandong.

This is also the reason why Sheng Yong is determined to uproot Qingzhou Mountain City.

Only by eliminating the Langya Army's future troubles, could his Northern Expedition army march northward with confidence to start a decisive battle with Zhu Di in Hebei.

His army surrounded the mountain city early this morning. Five armies lined up on the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, blocking the mountain city.

He Fu who participated in the battle led an army of 60,000 from Laizhou, Chen Hui led an army of 50,000 from Linzi, Lan Xiye led an army of 20,000 from Lijin, Zhang Zhongjie led an army of 10,000 from Le'an, and Sheng Yong led himself

The Chinese army, 80,000 strong, arrived from Jiyang.

In addition to General Ping'an who was stationed at Muling Pass and the 20,000 troops who stayed in Jiyang, Sheng Yong brought as many as 220,000 troops to participate in the siege.

Of course, except for Chu Shuijun, whom he had long regarded as an abandoned son.

However, facing such dangerous terrain, Sheng Yong still had to let his soldiers take turns to attack.

The leader was Chen Hui.

Because of Chen Xi's tragic death in Yueyang, he hated Feng Yueming in his heart, so he worked hard for his life.

Fifty thousand Confederate troops gathered from the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain to the rocky road in front of the city gate. They were as dense as crucian carp crossing the river and steadily advanced towards the city gate.

Soldiers from the Langya Army shot powerful arrows from the city gate tower. Chen Hui's army was too densely formed and had nowhere to dodge, so they had to use their swords or shields to parry. Occasionally, some who could not parry were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

But Chen Hui had already prepared for this. Whether the soldiers who were hit by arrows were slightly injured, seriously injured or killed in action, they would be transported layer by layer by sergeants from front to back to the rear of the team. Then their vacated positions would be filled by other sergeants.

It does not affect combat effectiveness at all.

Until Chen Hui's army forced them to the city gate, only twenty or thirty people were transported out after being hit by arrows.

Chen Hui raised his sword high and commanded the soldiers to start attacking the gate. They brought rams and battering rams. In fact, even without these instruments, the physical impact of dozens or hundreds of people on the city gate was enough to break the gate shaft.

.

But Chen Hui was still worried, so he sent four catapults to follow the formation and throw stones at the city gate. This would not only pose a threat to the Langya Army soldiers on the gate tower, but also effectively destroy the city gate itself.

The two giant gates did not hold up for too long. There was only a loud "click" sound. The door shafts and pins of the city gate deformed and broke. The heavy wooden plank fell backwards like a mountain. Two Langya soldiers blocked the door on the inside.

The soldier couldn't dodge and was pinned down by the door panel.

The soldiers of the Confederate Army swarmed forward and stepped on the door with countless feet. The two Langya Army soldiers were trampled to death under the wooden board.
