The fifteen-year-old man got up early every day to clean the courtyard, and he also rushed to do the work. He carried water and chopped firewood to help the cooks. He was also skilled in weaving cages, and weaved various bird cages for Tai Shi Min'er and several girls.
The old man also won the favor of everyone.
People affectionately call him Uncle Fifteen.
During this period, news also came from Lucheng.
Lucheng was surrounded by Jurong's main army and attacked fiercely, and the battle was extremely fierce. Fenglian City's defense of Lucheng was also extremely difficult. However, Lucheng's defenders and food and grass were more than Fengxiang's. Although the enemy army was strong, it was difficult to capture Lucheng in a short time.
The army of the Western Regions temporarily retreated, and the soldiers and people in Fengxiang City won a brief period of peace.
But on the sixth day, the police gong sounded again in the city.
Shangguan Minghong and Lin Yi rushed to the top of the city, only to see the army of the Western Regions approaching again in the distance.
It turned out that the Tibetan hegemons used these days to lead the grain transport army to borrow grain and grass from Ju Rong for more than ten days. The people in the Western Regions were also trying their best to raise grain and grass for the Li Dynasty.
Borrowing food and grass, Li Chao led the Western Region Army to make a comeback!
In order to prevent the grain and grass from being burned again, this time Li Chao simply distributed the grain and grass to each camp according to quotas.
The Western Region Army surrounded Fengxiang City on all sides, and then set up camp. The camp was still several miles long, and the momentum was huge.
Then the Western Region Army formed its formation again and all the siege equipment was put in place.
Li Chao and Zang Ba stood in front of the formation.
The failure in the past few days made the two of them very angry.
This time, they must vent their anger.
Li Chao shouted at Shangguan Minghong and Lin Yi who were standing on the top of the city: "Shangguan Minghong! Demon General! I won't give you any chance this time! When the city is broken, I will cut you into pieces! I will slaughter everyone in the city.
No chickens or dogs left!”
Watching the enemy troops come back with anger.
Shangguan Minghong and Lin Yi felt like they were under a heavy weight.
Although the soldiers and civilians of Fengxiang City have been able to take a breather in the past few days and seize the time to prepare for war, there is a huge disparity in strength after all. The two also know that the enemy will be even crazier this time and will not give them a chance to breathe.
How long can you hold on?
I don't have any confidence in my heart.
Shangguan Minghong said: "Little Li Chao, then you attack again! I will let you all be buried under Fengxiang City!"
Lin Yi responded to the arrogant Li Chao with actions.
Lin Yi took a strong bow. Just like last time, Lin Yi used all his strength to shoot an arrow at Li Chao. But this time it was beyond everyone's expectations.
An arrow also flew from the enemy army.
This arrow was no less powerful and changing trajectory than Lin Yi's arrow.
When Lin Yi's arrow reached three or four feet away from Li Chao, the arrow accurately hit Lin Yi's arrow. Moreover, the tip of the arrow hit the tip of Lin Yi's arrow. This won the applause of tens of thousands of people from the Western Region Army.
The arrows of the two people burst out with a "click" at the same time.
Then Li moved away from the army behind him, and a general wearing silver armor and a silver mask came out on horseback.
The whole person glowed dazzlingly in the sun.
His eyes were as red as blood.
It was Qin Dingfang.
Qin Dingfang rode his horse forward and stood on the right side of Li Chao.
Qin Dingfang swept away all the soldiers on the city and spoke.
"I am the Northern Demon! When the Northern Demon comes out, all your souls will be shattered! It's better to abandon the city and surrender..." Qin Dingfang's voice echoed in the ears of the soldiers guarding the city.
Many soldiers responded by spitting at Qin Dingfang.
Qin Dingfang turned his attention to Lin Yi again.
"Nameless General, although you are wearing a mask, I know who you are. We should settle our old and new grudges."
Lin Yi mocked: "Northern Demon? Haha, you know what you are, and so do we! How dare you bark here like a lost dog! If you have the ability, just in front of this formation, you and I will fight alone to the death."
!If you dare, treat yourself as a Northern Devil! If you don’t dare, treat yourself as a Northern Dog!”
Zuo Chaoyang and Zeng Tengyun also sneered at Qin Dingfang.
Qin Dingfang is not annoyed.
He smiled sinisterly and said: "Unknown general, I am no longer the same person as before. You are too young to provoke me. Now that you are all like turtles in a urn, why should I fight with you? After the city is broken, I will torture you as much as I want! Jiejie.
…”
Qin Dingfang raised his head and let out a strange laugh.
Li Chao also issued orders to Zang Ba.
"Attack during the day and attack at night. Attack day and night! Even if we kill 3,000 enemies and lose 10,000, we still have to attack Fengxiang! What kind of demon general, Zuo Island Master, fights Buddha with one arm? I want to take out their hearts and souls! Now, give it to me
Siege the city!"
Li Chao shouted this last sentence angrily.
So Zangba waved his general, and the dozens of war drums of the Western Region Army sounded loudly.
Then the enemy's artillery, catapults, arrows and crossbows also attacked the city head ferociously. The enemy still attacked from the front and east. The terrain in these two directions was conducive to launching a large-scale attack.
The defenders on the city immediately retaliated, firing artillery and crossbows at the enemy.
Cannonballs fell one after another among the enemy groups, and the enemy troops continued to fall.
The defenders were also beaten with blood and flesh by the enemy's artillery fire and thrown boulders.
A city tower was also hit by a boulder and collapsed.
The city was filled with smoke, dust and rain of blood.
The shelling and arrow firing lasted for more than half an hour. Zang Ba waved his flag again, and tens of thousands of enemy troops pushed toward the city with various siege equipment.
The enemy troops that came back seemed to be even more crazy.
Densely packed enemy troops rushed to the city walls, erected several ladders at various points along the miles-long city wall, and attacked the city head one after another.
The defenders on the city fought back bravely.
Arrows, oil, and rolling wood and rocks poured down on the enemy troops who were crawling towards the city. The sound of killing screams, the sound of arrows, and the roar of artillery fire were mixed together and began to echo between the heaven and the earth.
The brutal offensive and defensive battle began again.
Halfway through the attack, Qin Dingfang suddenly jumped up from his horse.
Qin Dingfang's figure soared in the air, and then flew towards the city.
When he reached the city a few feet away, Qin Dingfang let out a demonic roar, his body shape flashed and changed in the air, and the sword in his hand waved like a phantom. Then clusters of "sword plums" bloomed beautifully in the smoke. Then these sword plums scattered again.
It opened and turned into countless plum petals, forming a width of several feet and flying towards the soldiers who were defending the enemy at the top of the city.
Simply appalling.
Lin Yi and Miao Xue cooperated with Shangguan Minghong to guard the front. Although they tried their best to intercept and crack the Jianmei, the offensive and defensive scene was too chaotic, and more than a dozen defenders were still shot by Jianmei.
Some fell to the ground and died, and some screamed and fell off the city wall...
Qin Dingfang helped the enemy attack the city, which put tremendous pressure on the defenders.
Qin Dingfang followed the same method and swung out another piece of sword plum. Several more defenders were hit and their blood spurted to death.
Bei Mo's martial arts also frightened the defenders.
In order to completely stop Qin Dingfang, Lin Yi flew out of the city and intercepted Qin Dingfang in the air.
However, the two fought fiercely for more than twenty moves in the air, and Qin Ding conveniently flew away.
As he flew backwards, he shouted in a provocative tone: "Devil General, come on if you have the guts!"
Of course, Lin Yi would not be stupid enough to be led by Qin Dingfang into the enemy's thousands of troops. Lin Yi flew back to the city wall. As a result, Lin Yi returned, and Qin Dingfang soon flew back.
Faced with this situation, there is no good solution.
Lin Yi could only fly into the air again to intercept him.
It went back and forth like this. In short, Lin Yi was keeping an eye on Qin Dingfang. He could not be allowed to cause great panic and casualties to the defenders. However, Lin Yi was almost restrained by Qin Dingfang.
The enemy attacked until nearly noon and retreated, leaving behind countless corpses.
In the afternoon and night, the enemy continued to attack the city.
