At this time, Yang Zhixing forcibly recruited more than 20,000 young men in Weichu City.

This level of military strength, whether placed in Dali or in the Song Dynasty, can be regarded as a large-scale army.

Wu Lin's 5,000 troops can only be considered a medium-sized corps.

However, the strength of the army lies in its finesse, not its breadth.

The Song army lined up at the east gate of Weichu City.

For a city wall like Weichu City that is only three meters high, let alone using a ladder, even if you stand underneath and use a crossbow arrow, you can directly inflict a considerable blow on the opponent.

However, Wu Lin was still preparing the ladder patiently.

At the top of the city, Yang Zhixing and others were cheering the soldiers on, using the same old words.

The soldiers were very motivated at first. After all, many of them hunted in the jungle and often faced jackals, tigers and leopards.

Who hasn’t licked a few mouthfuls of blood from the edge of a knife?

They chanted in Dali dialect on the city tower, and their momentum was like a rainbow for a while.

Everyone wanted to rush down and fight the Song army head-on.

"Wu Shuai! Those people are too arrogant. They gave the last general a thousand crossbow archers. Let's teach them a lesson first!" Yan Pei said.

Wu Lin patted Yan Pei on the shoulder and said, "Do you know what is the most important thing when facing the enemy?"

Yan Pei asked curiously: "What is it?"

"Conquer the opponent once and don't give the opponent a second chance."

Yan Pei was stunned: "What about now?"

"Go and build some cloud ladders. Build fifty of them and take them out at noon. Climb the tower in the afternoon and enter the city before evening."

"yes!"

Yan Pei immediately ran to the engineering camp to urge him personally.

At noon, Yan Pei came over excitedly and said, "Wu Shuai, it's done."

"Is everything done?"

"It's all done!"

Wu Lin said: "Fifty ladders, each with fifty people. Before attacking, use two thousand people to suppress the formation with crossbows. Each crossbowman is equipped with fifty crossbows. First, use twenty thousand to suppress them."

"Okay, I will make arrangements now."

Not long after, the Song Army's forward siege troops began to prepare for formation.

Behind them are the crossbowmen, who are arranged in five rows and spread out horizontally outside the city.

Then move forward steadily.

He waited until he was one hundred and fifty meters away from the city wall before stopping.

Originally, the Dali soldiers on the city wall were very excited, but when they saw the costumes of the Song army siege troops below, they were a little shocked.

"Are they wearing iron armor?" A Dali soldier couldn't help shouting.

"And everyone wears armor!"

The Dali soldiers, who had been chirping just now, began to talk among themselves.

At this time, the horns of the Song Army began to echo throughout the fields.

I saw the messenger holding the flag and waving it in front of the team.

When the officers saw the flag, they shouted: "Get the bow!"

The Song army began to take out their crossbows in unison, put the arrows on the crossbows, and aimed them at the city head.

There were obviously two thousand people, but the movements were as neat as if they were made by one person.

Moreover, the sunlight fell on the Song Army's armor, reflecting a dazzling luster.

Coupled with such neat movements, the beauty of flowing clouds and flowing water also has a sense of Xiaosha momentum.

This scene shocked the Dali soldiers at the top of the city.

"Fire the arrow!"

The officers gave the order, and a black cloud instantly appeared in the sky.

While everyone was stunned, black clouds surged towards the city.

In an instant, countless people lost their lives under the impact of this black cloud.

"Quick! Fire the arrow!" the shouts of Dali soldiers sounded from the top of the city.

The archers hurriedly drew their bows, and some were shot into hedgehogs by crossbow arrows before they even drew the bow strings. Some were pierced between the eyebrows just after releasing the arrows.

Others fired arrows but could not reach the Song army's position at all.

This wave caught the Dali soldiers by surprise.

After the first batch of crossbow arrows were released, the Song army immediately began to prepare the second batch.

The second batch, the third batch, the fourth batch...

By the time the tenth batch of crossbow arrows were fired, the city was already filled with arrows, and the Dali soldiers were running away and dying.

At this time, the forward troops attacking the city began to walk down the city with ladders in hand.

A small city like Weichu had no moat, so it was basically no difficulty for the Song army.

Soon the ladder was erected, and the soldiers began to climb up one by one.

Even though he is wearing armor, he can still climb up.

"Quick! Get to the top of the city! The enemy has no more arrows!"

The Dali soldiers behind the city began to replenish their forces and quickly climbed towards the top of the city.

It was during this brief gap that the Song army boarded the city. The two sides fought against each other at the top of the city.

However, the Dali soldier chopped it down with a single blow, leaving only a mark on the armor.

However, when Song Jun stabbed him, it was a bloody wound.

The situation immediately turned one sided.

The outcome of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Yang Zhixing and others did not expect that the city would be lost so quickly.

More and more Song troops climbed up the city and occupied the city wall.

In the afternoon, the Dali army retreated steadily and was defeated.

Yang Yuyan hurriedly ran over: "Father, there are Song troops guarding the south and northwest city gates. The east city gate has been lost and the city gate has been passively opened!"

Yang Zhixing immediately said: "Hurry! Surrender quickly to prevent the people from being massacred!"

"Father!"

"Don't sacrifice in vain!" Yang Zhixing's face turned pale, "Since we are Master Wang, I hope they can let the people in the city go."

After a while, a scout came over and said, "Shuai Wu, a white flag has been raised in the city."

Wu Lin thought for a moment and then said: "Let Yan Pei stop first and ask their prefect Yang to come to my commander."

"yes!"

Yang Zhixing quickly received the notice.

"Father, let me go. If they want to kill me, they will kill me too!"

"No, it's useless for you to go."

Yang Zhixing left the city alone, went to Wu Lin's camp, and met Wu Lin.

He knelt on the ground and said: "We are ignorant of Mount Tai and have offended Master Wang. I hope that you, Marshal, can spare the people in the city. All the responsibility lies with me. If killing me alone can save the people of the city, I will draw the sword immediately."

Kill yourself."

"Are you convinced now?"

“I’m convinced!”

"You can ask me to spare them, but there is one condition."

"Commander, it's okay to say so."

"I have ordered Gao Liangcheng to be punished by the Chu Mansion and express the justice of the Emperor of Heaven. Not only will I not kill them, I will not kill you either."

"This..." Yang Zhixing became embarrassed, "That Prime Minister Gao is an outstanding member of the Gao family of our Dali Kingdom. He loves the people like a son and is considerate of the people's strength. I...

"The Emperor is a sage of eternal benevolence and virtue. At the beginning, the Emperor fought against all opinions and wanted to open trade with your country of Dali to benefit the people. How does Gao Liangcheng treat the Emperor now?"

"this……"

"Your country, Dali, has made a lot of money in China, right? A few years ago, a lot of goods from China went south, but you turned a blind eye to these?"

"I……"

"Don't you want to protect the people of this city?" Wu Lin's voice became cold again.

Yang Zhixing felt the cold murderous intent in Wu Lin's tone, and he said: "Everything respects the commander's orders."
