Soon, the soldiers on the city wall began to take action, and the sharpshooter troops prepared in advance were quickly in place. Their eyes, even in the dark, could reach the fuel tank with their weak firelight.

But suddenly, bursts of white light suddenly lit up, instantly like daylight, and began to flash continuously. For a while, all the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to open their eyes.

Qiao Rui said angrily: "Damn guy! What the hell is this!"

And Ji Ling also said helplessly: "Damn it! Without even thinking about it, I just guessed that it was that bastard Guo Ming who did it."

It turned out that these flashing lights were the bright flashlights that Guo Ming had just used through the system, so Guo Ming planned such a night attack.

But Qiao Rui knew that this was not the answer, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Archers! Just shoot arrows forward! Be sure to stop their steps!"

But just as Qiao Rui finished speaking, a rain of arrows from Guo Ming's troops also followed. Countless arrows directly killed many archers who could not open their eyes, causing flames to scatter in all directions.

Seeing a fire on the city wall, Qiao Rui hurriedly asked people to put out the fire, because once the flames spread, the hot oil poured on the city wall would make the flames uncontrollable.

But at this moment, the excavator brigade also arrived under the city wall under the cover of arrow rain.

Suddenly, Ji Ling saw something and shouted loudly to Qiao Rui who was putting out the fire: "Old Qiao! Come and take a look! There seems to be something different about those guys!"

At first, Qiaorui was just busy putting out the fire. After hearing Ji Ling's reminder, Qiaorui endured the risk of being blinded by the flashlight and looked down.

I saw that the original excavator, which was originally a shovel, was replaced with huge iron needles at some point.

Qiaorui and the others didn't know what impact such a change would have, but an ominous premonition had already arisen in Qiaorui's heart.

Just when Qiaorui was thinking, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. The bodies of Qiaorui and the others shook and made a loud noise. It was difficult for Qiaorui and the others to stabilize their bodies.

Qiao Rui followed the sound and found that the huge iron needle of the excavator was constantly digging into the city wall. This was also specially arranged by Guo Ming today.

As a result, the hot oil that Qiao Rui and others poured on the city wall had no effect at all.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Rui immediately summoned the residents in the city to seize the time to repair the city wall, because Qiao Rui had been publicizing Cao Cao's massacre in the city, and Cao Cao's previous massacre of Xuzhou had already spread, so this could be regarded as Cao Cao's massacre. It hindered myself.

But Ji Ling whispered to Qiao Rui at this time: "Old Qiao, I guess Runan County can't be defended anymore. Why don't we withdraw now, leaving the green hills behind, so we don't have to worry about running out of firewood."

When Qiao Rui heard this, he said angrily: "If we retreat now, the land of Huainan will be lost one after another. Moreover, if His Majesty blames us, can you and I still have our heads on our necks?"

Ji Ling finally understood and immediately expressed his intention to defend Runan County.

Qiao Rui ordered Ji Ling, Liu Xun and others to leave the city immediately to meet the enemy. Li Dian, who was driving the crane truck, was happily smashing the city wall and couldn't help but murmured: "Mr. Fengde really didn't lie to me. It’s so much fun.”

Just when Li Dian was having fun, there were sudden shouts of killing from all around, but Li Dian didn't care at all and continued to play with his crane truck.

Because Guo Ming had already anticipated their actions and was prepared, he just needed to have fun tonight.

Just when Ji Ling and others rushed toward the excavator team, a cry of killing sounded again, and a figure flashed out, and it was Guo Ming.

I saw Guo Ming shouting sternly: "Child Ji Ling, Guo Fengde is here, why don't you get off your horse and surrender!"

When Ji Ling heard that it was Guo Ming, he immediately went to kill Guo Ming, because as long as he killed Guo Ming, he would be rewarded by Yuan Shu.

Guo Ming was naturally not afraid of facing Ji Ling. He immediately activated the will-o'-the-wisp and stepped forward to fight. The first blow put Ji Ling under tremendous pressure.

In the battle between Ji Ling and Guo Ming, they could only parry but not fight back. As for Liu Xun and Lei Bo, seeing that Ji Ling was unable to resist, they immediately came to besiege Guo Ming.

Facing the siege of the three men, Guo Ming did not feel the slightest pressure and fought fiercely with the three men. Seeing this scene, Cao Jun's morale increased.

Qiao Rui looked at the scene not far away, and looked at the low morale here. Qiao Rui also felt very serious, and his eyes tightened, as if he had made some determination.

Qiaorui jumped down from the city wall and jumped directly onto the excavator. Before the driver could react, Qiaorui killed the driver with a knife.

When Yuan Jun saw this scene, his originally sluggish morale surged. Guo Ming also sighed secretly in his heart: "This Qiao Rui is really a ruthless person."

But just when Qiao Rui felt happy, he suddenly saw something with his eyes. He saw that the foundation of the city wall had been drilled through, and Li Dian also looked at him with a smile on his face.

Only then did Qiao Rui realize that he had just dug through the city wall just to hide his eyes from others. The real purpose was to directly dig down the foundation and cause the entire city wall to collapse.

Li Dian pinched his waist and said with a smile: "General Qiao, run away for your life. The wall will fall down and kill you soon."

After that, he gently pushed the forward lever, and as the crane gently pushed forward, Qiaorui also shouted loudly: "People above! Retreat quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiaorui ran away, and the city wall in the northwest corner collapsed at this moment. As for the city walls in other places, the situation was not much better.

Fortunately, Qiao Rui ran fast just now, which allowed him to save his life. As for Ji Ling and the other three, they were also frightened when they saw this scene.

Guo Ming also seized this moment and killed Lei Bo with one shot. Ji Ling and the others saw this and were about to step forward to rescue him, but found that Lei Bo was already a corpse.

The two of them had no choice but to run away. Seeing this scene, Yuan Jun also retreated towards the city. At this time, Liu, Guan, and Zhang also rushed towards the gap.

Not to be outdone, Guo Ming rushed forward with his men and horses. At this moment, Ji Ling and Liu Xun had already found Qiao Rui, and the three of them began to discuss the next thing.

Faced with the current situation, Ji Ling said breathlessly: "Lao Qiao, Lao Liu, Runan County really can't hold on any longer. If that doesn't work, let's run away."

Seeing Ji Ling say such depressing words, Qiao Rui said with hatred: "Look at you now, you are completely frightened by them!"
