Feng Guoting smiled and said: "This is a good name we came up with, but it has nothing to do with you, but to do with it." Pointing to the sky.
The five people looked up and saw the eagle flying across the court circling high in the sky, monitoring the movements outside Pingzhou City.
Long Ying couldn't do anything to him and said to Guo Yuanzhen: "We will start in half an hour. Ha! Damn it, I should have a good sleep in the city tonight. It would be better if I could sleep with a beautiful girl in my arms." Cool."
Pulled and pushed by more than a hundred extremely strong and powerful Zhou soldiers, the wooden platform moved towards the east gate of Pingzhou City as steadily as a mountain, and headed straight for it. Wind lanterns were hung on the four corners of the platform, and the bodies of the four people were dimly reflected. shape.
The entire army of 10,000 elite soldiers was also mobilized, marching forward with the high platform in neat steps. The military boots stepped on the mud and stone ground, making a huge sound of footsteps that shook the earth.
Li Duozuo commanded four thousand cavalry, divided into two groups, and formed formations on both sides to prevent the enemy from bypassing the city gates on the left and right to make a surprise attack.
Ten thousand elite soldiers all walked on foot and formed a battle formation behind the high platform. The front row held high shields, and the back three rows were archers. Then came the infantry divided into five teams, holding spears, axes, knives, guns and other weapons for charging into the battle. , wear light armor and be prepared for street fighting.
On the high platform, Wan Renyu and Huangyuan Wu stood in front, while Long Ying and Feng passed through the courtyard. Everyone was calm and calm, not nervous at all, talking and laughing freely.
Wan Renyu said with a smile: "Young Master Long is so romantic. Even before he attacked the city, he thought about finding a wife to sleep with after the city was broken."
Feng Guoting said: "This is called a habit and cannot be changed."
Long Ying smiled at Huang Yuan Wu and said, "With Brother Huang's character and martial arts skills, as well as his outstanding dancing and singing skills, he should have more romantic affairs than my younger brother."
Huang Yuan Wu sighed: "Don't mention it. I am destined to be a poor person. I really don't dare to touch a decent woman."
Wan Renyu said: "How could Brother Huang have such troubles? Women outside the Great Wall are far more open-minded than those in the middle of the country. Isn't that true?"
Huang Yuan Wu said: "Then it depends on whether they are pursuing a night of fun or a long life together. But I am like Brother Feng's eagle. Soaring freely in the sky without any control, traveling all over the earth until I die of old age in a foreign land. .”
Long Ying said: "It turns out that Brother Huang has his ambitions in a distant place. I also want to live this kind of life, but I'm afraid that my lovely wives won't be able to bear it."
Then he said with great joy: "Yi Yueyu appears!"
The three of them cast their gazes over the city. There were numerous figures on the city top, and for a moment they couldn't tell who was Yi Yuanyu.
The high platform continued to move, and when it reached a thousand steps away from the city, it stopped leisurely. The tens of thousands of soldiers in the military formation took two heavy steps in unison and stopped suddenly.
Feng Guoting asked: "Where is he?"
Long Ying said: "About thirty steps to the left of the gate tower, hiding behind the battlements and watching us, all the archers have their arrows on their strings, waiting for us to feed them. I can sense the fear in Yi Yuanyu's heart, like him A person who loves to use tricks and is particularly afraid of facing unpredictable situations."
He took out his folding bow, half-crouched down, and used Wan and Huang to cover up the series of movements of his bow and arrows. Then he shouted: "Attract his attention."
Wan Renyu shouted over and said: "Yi Yueyu! Your death is coming tonight!" He was talking about the ridicule that Long Ying taught him, so that the other party could hear clearly.
When Long Ying said the words "Yi Yuan Yu" with great energy, the iron arrow left the string and shot diagonally high into the sky under the starry night, disappearing without a trace.
Wan Renyu and Huangyuan Wu moved to the left and right, allowing Yi Yongyu's eyes to fall directly on Long Ying and Feng Guoting behind them. Long Ying took two steps forward and came to the edge of the stage. Every action was taken by Design it carefully. Be sure to attract the other person's attention.
As soon as Long Ying hid his folding bow and gathered his magic power, the face of Yi Yuanyu far away on the city wall suddenly became clear. He felt the iron arrow rising to the highest point of more than a hundred feet away from the opponent's standing wall, and then drew diagonally An indescribably graceful arc, bending towards Yi Yuanyu.
This arrow is the culmination of all his past experiences and spiritual responses. It is absolutely a magic-level arrow technique. It is as fast as lightning, invisible and invisible. It is full of hidden magic power and does not make any sound.
Yi Yueyu appeared behind the wall, from the chest up, wearing a beast-shaped steel helmet, only his eyes and the part below the nose were exposed, staring at him fiercely.
Longying knew it was time and shouted: "Yi Yueyu! Accept the punishment God will give you!"
Yi Yuanyu seemed to be about to curse, but when he opened his mouth, the iron arrow was less than six feet away from his forehead. He was a master after all, and noticed something was wrong. He raised his head and looked up with a horrified expression.
The iron arrow broke through the helmet, making a strange and indescribable sound, and a clean and sharp sound of metal wear, and penetrated his face from the forehead. Yi Yueyu didn't even have time to scream, and fell back. His left and right hands The subordinates immediately became a mess.
Long Ying shouted wildly: "Yi Yueyu is dead!"
Wan Renyu and three others shouted at the same time: "Yi Yueyu is dead!"
Then the whole army shouted: "Yi Yueyu is dead!" They all shouted out in ridicule and spread the news inside and outside the city.
The morale of the Zhou army was boiling.
Guo Yuanzhen’s voice shouted: “Forward!”
The high platform moved again, and eight agile Zhou soldiers climbed onto the high platform, holding braziers and burning cones, waiting for them to launch poisonous smoke arrows.
The top of the Pingzhou city wall was in chaos. Dozens of arrows were fired blindly before they could enter the shooting range. It was obvious that Yi Yuanyu had died, which made the Khitan soldiers guarding the city panic and their positions were in chaos.
The war drums beat loudly.
The poisonous smoke arrows were shot one by one from the high platform to the enemy's wall, bursting out clouds of poisonous smoke. When the high platform moved to the moat, the walls near and far were enveloped in poisonous smoke, and spread to the outside of the city. Eight archers climbed up to the high platform and continued to fire poisonous smoke arrows on behalf of Longying and others. Another shield hand stood in the front row, responsible for blocking the enemy arrows shot from the top of the wall. It seemed that the opponent could only shoot sporadic shots without accuracy. The arrows shot out, and the sound of the poisonous smoke kept rising and falling, and they knew that the opponent was completely defeated.
Guo Yuanzhen gave an order, and three rows of archers took turns firing, arrows raining down on the city wall.
Due to the close distance, the poisonous smoke arrows were instead thrown deep into the city to cause greater chaos.
Dragon Eagle hung a black sword on his back and took the blast from the sky in his hand. He greeted the three of them, and the magic power exploded under his feet. He flew over a distance of more than three feet in an instant, flipped over, and landed on the wall filled with poisonous smoke. There was no mercy at this time. After speaking, the blast from the sky turned into dozens of sharp rays, using the rotating characteristics of sharp weapons at both ends. Like tigers entering a flock of sheep, seven or eight Khitan people who were at a loss were immediately thrown around with broken bones and flesh. They fell, and two of them were even thrown out of the city wall, screaming pitifully, and fell into the moat.
Seeing that Dragon Eagle had successfully ascended the city, the Zhou army's momentum increased sharply. They fired arrows to both sides, and most of them fell into the city. It is unknown how many enemies were injured by the stray arrows. They only fired arrows from the opponent's trebuchets placed on the top of the wall. After throwing less than ten stones, you will know that the opponent is out of formation and unable to make an effective counterattack.
Wan Renyu, Feng Guoting and Huangyuanwu landed near Longying one after another. Feng Guoting was the bravest. As soon as he hit the ground, he used his ever-changing shield to ram into the crowd of more than ten enemies rushing over from the gate tower. As it unfolded, no one could stop him for a moment. The four people had pure skills and were not afraid of poisonous smoke.
Wan Renyu was afraid that Feng Guiting would be in trouble, so he chased after him. With a flash of yellow light, he smashed the first enemy he met with both man and shield, and fell outside the city, making him unstoppable.
Huang Yuan Wu was about to come to help Long Ying, but the latter hit the enemy who was rushing towards him with a bombardment, throwing him backwards and falling sideways. He shouted without looking back: "Brother Huang, go help them seize the gate tower."
A strange look appeared on Huangyuan Wu's face again, and he turned around to join in the battle between Wan Renyu and Feng Guoting.
The two-foot-wide wall was completely enveloped by the power of the one-foot-two-foot Jie Tian Bang, making it difficult for the enemy to advance. Although hundreds of Khitan warriors wanted to rush over, as long as they stepped into Jie Tian Bang's sphere of influence,
Either the men and their weapons were knocked backwards, knocking down their comrades behind, or their heads were missing, or they were swept inside and outside the city wall, with blood splattering on them.
The sound of a sharp whistle came, and Long Ying knew that Wan Renyu's side had successfully occupied the gate tower, and he was ready to kill again. He held the center of the sky bomb with both hands, swung left and right, and attacked the enemy forcefully. The opponent had already been killed by him and was heartbroken.
Trembling with fear, the six or seven people in front retreated in shock, colliding with the people coming up from behind, falling left and right.
Dragon Eagle quickly retreated, and Feng Guoting passed him by, guarding the wall. At this time, the poisonous smoke on the wall became thinner.
When they arrived at the gate tower, Wan Renyu came to him and shouted: "The winch holding the iron rope is locked by a big iron lock."
Long Ying glanced at Huang Yuan Wu, who was facing the enemy on the other side, and saw that he was using the astonishing sword skills of wide opening and closing. He was killing countless Khitan warriors one after another, but he could not hold out for long.
Without even thinking about it, he pulled out his black sword and used all his strength to slash at the big iron lock. "Zheng!" How could the big iron lock withstand his slashing force, which was full of demonic strength and weighed more than a thousand kilograms? The sword deformed and broke.
Wan Renyu was stunned for a moment before he turned the big winch and lowered the big iron chain that tied the city gate.
"boom!"
The suspension bridge is lowered and crosses the moat, showing a smooth way into the city.
Guo Yuanzhen gave an order, and the shield-bearers drew their sabers, swarmed across the bridge, and headed into the city.
The dragon eagle roared, and with the rain of ten thousand people, the wind passed through the court and danced in the wilderness, abandoning the enemies on the wall, jumped into the city, and attacked the Khitan warriors guarding the gate from both sides.
The defenders in the city had their commander killed, the early soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the gate tower was captured. The Zhou army stormed in with great momentum, and finally collapsed completely and fled in all directions through other city gates.
Three thousand elite cavalry led by Fang Jun fought out of the ambush, divided into thirty groups, and launched a ruthless interception and pursuit of the fleeing enemies, leaving no one behind.
By dusk, the overall situation was decided.
Pingzhou City returned to the hands of the Zhou Dynasty.
The battle for Pingzhou not only revived the prestige of the Celestial Dynasty, but also brought considerable military effects. He Axiao, the Khitan general who defended Jizhou, knew that Pingzhou had fallen and that Jizhou's defense power was far less powerful than Pingzhou's and was even more difficult to defend.
He stayed in the city and fled overnight, handing over Jizhou to Zhang Jiujie.
Lou Shide, who was looking down from the side, understood the principle of not chasing an enemy when they were in poverty, and also knew that marching in the dark was no match for the opponent. While moving to help Zhang Jiujie take over Jizhou City, he also targeted Sun Wanrong of Yingzhou and set up an archery tower fortress outside Jizhou City.
The defense power of Jizhou was greatly strengthened and an army of 5,000 men was detached to garrison in Pingzhou.
Yang Xuanji also comprehensively strengthened the defense and control of Shanhaiguan, reversing the lawless state there. (To be continued.)
