As soon as Xu Zizhen arrived at Jincheng Pass, he found many people lying on the ground, including Song Army soldiers and masked men in black. The cold and hard ground was covered with bloodstains. It was obvious that a melee had just occurred here.
He pulled a sergeant beside him and asked urgently: "What's going on? Where is Mr. Meng? Where is Mr. Xiao Zhong?"
"Zizhen!" Before the sergeant had time to reply, a voice sounded not far away. When Xu Zizhen raised his head, he saw the grower looking at him with a smile.
Xu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief. After all, everything was fine in Zhongshizhong. Otherwise, it would have been a huge blow to the morale of the Song army. He jumped off his horse and came to Zhongshizhong: "Ms. Xiaozhong, is he from Sanjuetang?"
The seed master smiled and said: "It's just a clown, don't pay attention to it."
Xu Zizhen glanced around and did a rough count. There were about forty or fifty people in black, and he couldn't tell what level of martial arts they were. However, the crisis in Sanjue Hall was now resolved, but Yuan Size and
The 100,000 troops are still outside the pass.
Thinking of this, he suddenly discovered a strange thing. Just now, Shui Liuli said that the Xixia army had arrived, but now it was so quiet outside the pass that no sound could be heard. Instead, there were many places closed, and there were several soldiers holding weapons in each area.
The torches were swinging around, and they were beating each other with steel knives, and shouting sounds came from their mouths from time to time.
"Mr. Xiaozhong, what are you...?" Xu Zizhen was a little dumbfounded and didn't know what tricks these soldiers were playing.
Master Zhong smiled mysteriously: "Didn't he, Yu Size, want to take advantage of the chaos in the pass to kill him? Then I will give him this opportunity. What do you think?"
Xu Zizhen suddenly realized: "I understand, are you planning to trick him into attacking the city and engaging in close combat?"
Whether it is Zhong Shizhong or Xu Zizhen, they know one thing very well, and that is the power of Xixia people's weapons. Even if the extremely artillery they secretly made was completely destroyed by Xu Zizhen, no one knows whether they will still have it.
As for other secret weapons, even if there is nothing else, the divine arm bow and cyclone cannon alone are enough. As long as they are placed far outside the pass and fire fiercely, and the firepower of the pass is silenced, then it is their step.
The postscript is up.
But now, Yuan Size thought that the people of Sanjuetang had successfully harassed Guan Lai and even succeeded in assassinating Zhong Shizhong and Meng Du, so he would save his troops and firepower and kill Guan Lai directly. But in this case, he hit the target.
The teacher’s wishes.
The planting master patted him: "The main show is about to begin, let's go."
"Okay!" Xu Zizhen came to his senses and followed him to the gate.
As soon as he reached the gate, Xu Zizhen immediately felt a strong fighting spirit. Dozens of artillery were lined up in a row, the ammunition had been filled, and the fuses had been inserted. There were two gunners beside each cannon, holding weapons in their hands.
The torches were lit and preparations had been made. Several rows of infantry were lurking inside the closed city wall, with steel knives in their waists and spears and steel forks in their hands. They nestled behind the crenellations without making a sound.
The weather tonight is not good. The moon appears and disappears. From the closed door, everything is pitch black. Not even a single Xixia soldier can be seen. However, the chilling air cannot be concealed, even from a distance.
It was passed on.
The planting master glanced at the door and shouted, "Move!"
A soldier who was following him immediately took out a bamboo tube about a foot long, lit the fuse at the mouth of the tube with a torch, and raised it high to point to the sky.
call out!
A sharp sound broke through the air, and a small fireball shot out from the barrel, flying straight into the night sky with the sound, and finally drew a dazzling arc and disappeared.
Xu Zizhen's whole body was tense. This signal bomb was obviously found from the men in black. It seemed that the army was already preparing to lure the enemy over, and the battle was about to begin!
At some point a thick dark cloud floated in the night sky, completely blocking the moonlight. It was still dark outside the city wall, and there was no other sound except the whistling wind.
But gradually, the wind seemed to be mixed with some strange sounds, rustling...
Xu Zizhen's hand had already grasped the Tang Dao, and his eyes were fixed on the dark land. Suddenly, a cannon sounded, and dots of light suddenly appeared in the darkness. Then the fire became bright, and countless torches appeared out of thin air in his sight.
middle.
The cultivator shouted in a deep voice: "Ready the artillery!"
All the gunners were ready, their torches close to the fuses, ready to fire at any time.
Xu Zizhen could see clearly that under the illumination of the torches outside the pass, there was clearly a large black crowd. It was Bubazi from the Xixia army. He was flying towards Jinchengguan like passing locusts in the night, and in Buba
Behind Bu Ba Zi were the cavalry lined up neatly, but they did not move for the time being and kept a certain distance from the city gate. As long as Bu Ba Zi could open the closed gate suspension bridge, they would immediately sprint towards the gate.
The army was already approaching, but there was still no trace of fear among the soldiers, and their expressions were indifferent. Xu Zizhen saw this and secretly praised in his heart: He is indeed a famous general of the Song Dynasty!
Five hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
One hundred steps!
Fifty steps...
The distance between the Bubazi and the pass was so close that one could almost see their nostrils. Xu Zizhen felt his heart beat faster and faster, and his palms began to sweat. What the hell was Mr. Xiao Zhong doing? Why didn't he give the order?
Seemingly hearing his thoughts, the planting master turned around and smiled at him: "The heat is not yet here."
Xu Zizhen was stunned, this is not the end of the world yet? Should he wait for them to climb up the barrier and shoot them directly in the head?
Bubazi was traveling very fast, and arrived at Guanxia in the blink of an eye. The flying ropes were thrown straight up, with hooks tied to the ropes, and they immediately hung on the city wall.
The seed master spoke slowly and slowly: "Light the fire!"
The artillerymen had been impatient for a long time and immediately lit the fuses. A series of thundering gunshots sounded, accompanied by a neat row of firelights, which looked extremely dazzling in the night.
Boom boom boom!
The cannonball landed accurately in the distance, at the junction between Bubazi and the cavalry. There was a commotion among the Xixia war horses and the sound of neighing could be heard everywhere.
The grower ordered again: "Continue!"
Another round of artillery fire was fired, but it still landed at the same position. Xu Zizhen suddenly understood that this was to control the Xixia cavalry at a safe distance from the pass.
At this moment, the Bubazi had climbed up the city wall one after another, but as soon as they showed their heads, the Song army soldiers who had been lurking in the pass for a long time appeared, with spears and steel forks coming out, and screams suddenly sounded, and a
Figures fell down one after another.
But just after one wave passed, another wave climbed up. After all, the opponent had a large number of people. No matter how hard they slashed and killed, the Song Army soldiers were still unable to do what they wanted. Finally, someone successfully climbed up. If there was the first one, there would be a second one.
, the first one, but within a short time, the door was already full of Bu Bazi with short hair, short clothes, sharp knives and hemp shoes.
At this moment, Xixia people were everywhere, and the soldiers of the Song Army gradually became unable to resist. Suddenly, a clear whistle sounded, and more than a dozen black shadows swept out from nowhere, and flew towards them, with sword lights flashing past.
The Bubazi who rushed up to the pass fell one after another like wheat.
The dozen or so people were strong and moved quickly, and the Bubazi fell to their swords one after another. However, after all, the number of people on both sides was too disparate, and there were still people climbing up the city wall in a steady stream.
Xu Zizhen couldn't hold it in any longer, pulled out the knife with a flip of his hand, shouted and rushed over.
Warm up with Bubazi first, and then I'll give you a big meal when my Shenji camp comes over!
