Seeing that the Montenegrin army was running very fast and without any injuries, Wang Xiu knew that he should not lie, and he almost opened the city gate and caused a catastrophe.

Wang Xiu felt a little ashamed and expressed gratitude and apology to Zang Hong.

"It's not the general who reminded me that Xiu almost caused a disaster, please accept my courtesy." With that, he bowed down, thanked Zang Hong, and apologized.

Seeing this, Zang Hong stepped forward and helped Wang Xiu up, comforting him and saying, "You don't have to be like this, Grand Administrator. We are all doing our best for the lord. What's the difference between us? We both made mistakes today, so why should we apologize?".

These words were very grand and beautiful, and Wang Xiu immediately made him his confidant. To be honest, Wang Xiu actually thought very highly of himself and looked down on the martial artist Zang Hong, but after this incident, he had to look at Zang Hong with admiration. It turns out that there are heroes among the grass, and I admire them very much.

While they were comforting each other and admiring each other, they suddenly saw dust flying in front of the tower, as if there were countless people arriving.

The two were shocked and looked up. It turned out that Yu Du had arrived with an army. Originally, the script was supposed to be that his henchmen deceived the city, opened the city gate, and he rushed into the city from behind and washed the Bohai Sea with blood.

He had seen Wang Xiu being fooled before and was about to open the city gate. He was secretly happy, thinking that his plan was about to succeed.

Little did he know that the expression on the little guy's face revealed everything, and he failed in his efforts. The officers and soldiers were alerted, and a burst of arrows came down, and they shot back the fake men and horses, stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

The sharp-eyed poison plan failed. Yu Du was so angry that he killed him with his army. Yu Lu had already killed all the soldiers who had escaped and pretended to surrender, and vented his anger on them. It's all their fault for not doing things secretly, otherwise they would have succeeded long ago.

Seeing the arrival of Yu Du's army, the soldiers guarding the city naturally shot down a burst of arrows, regardless of the orders of the prefect.

Thousands of arrows were fired together, and arrow locusts poured out like rain, causing numerous casualties to the Montenegrin army in a short time.

Although Yu Du gritted his teeth with hatred, he still had no choice but to withdraw his troops and led the army back to the camp in despair, preparing to fight again tomorrow.

Wang Xiu and Zang Hong looked at each other and knew what Yu Du meant. They didn't talk nonsense and asked the soldiers guarding the city to take turns to rest and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

The next day, at dawn, the soldiers guarding the south gate heard the sound of war drums as soon as they opened their eyes.

"Dong dong...!"

Rubbing his eyes, he poked his head towards the bottom of the city tower and saw the Black Mountain bandits, coming in pairs and holding weapons, pressing down heavily in darkness.

Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly rang the war bell on the city gate, warning that the enemy was coming.

"Dangdangdang...!"

Wang Xiu and Zang Hong were sleeping on the south gate tower at night. When they heard the alarm, they quickly got up and called the soldiers to enter their posts.

He raised his head and took a closer look, and after counting, he found that the number of enemy troops attacking the city today was probably at least 50,000. Seeing that the thieves were really serious about it, they gave up on other sects and specialized in one sect.

Seeing this, Wang Xiu and Zang Hong looked extremely solemn. They looked at each other and knew what to do.

The enemy has changed, and we must change too. Wang Xiu hurried downstairs to summon soldiers from other city gates. Zang Hong, with three thousand elites, immediately entered a fighting state, waiting for the bandits to attack the city.

Yu Du really spent a lot of money today. He gathered the remaining 70,000 troops together. He didn't care about the other gates, so he put them all at the south gate. He thought, I will fill them with corpses today. Ping to the Bohai Sea, the city was washed with blood.

Thinking this way, Yu Du also did the same. He ordered the vanguard of 50,000 troops to be divided into ten square formations and take turns to attack the Bohai City Wall.

Behind them, a supervising team of five thousand people was arranged, all armed with long swords. They would kill anyone who retreated.

He took the remaining 15,000 people as a reserve force, ready to enter the city at any time and massacre.

The allocation was decided, and Yu Du asked the strong men in yellow turbans to beat the drums to encourage them, urging the leading cannon fodder troops to head towards the city wall desperately.

"Dong dong dong dong...!"

"Tap tap tap tap...!"

The five thousand death squads at the front of the camp charged forward fearlessly to the beat of war drums.

"Archers, get ready, shoot me hard!"

After the bandits entered and the bows and arrows were within shooting range, Zang Hong gave orders to the crossbowmen who were already in position beside him.

Swish, swish, swish...

After several waves of arrows, the leading force of the Black Mountain bandits was almost wiped out, but they did not retreat like last time.

Instead, the other team, which became more and more courageous as they fought, stepped on the bodies of their brothers and attacked again. Not giving Zang Hong and the soldiers defending the city a chance to breathe.

When Zang Hong saw that the enemy was so unafraid of death, he immediately understood Yu Du's sinister intentions. He knew that there were not many soldiers guarding the city, so he aimed at this weak point and planned to kill us with human lives.

Although he knew the enemy's conspiracy, no, it should be said that it was a conspiracy. But Zang Hong had no other choice but to let the soldiers continue to fire arrows. He only hoped that Wang Xiu could quickly lead people to rotate theirs.

"Archers, prepare, release for me!"

Swish, swish, swish...

"Archers rotate, Rolling Stones prepare to... release!"

Boom boom boom...

Zang Hong commanded calmly, and the enemy troops were greeted with bows and arrows from a distance. Under the city tower, let the Rolling Stones go out and entertain them with huge rocks. As for the boiling oil, it was all used up during the last siege.

Five consecutive waves of attacks by the Montenegrin Army were repelled by Zang Hong. Not only was he out of breath, but his soldiers were also very tired. After all, they had not rested since the beginning.

Yu Du also had a vicious eye. After discovering this, he asked the remaining five groups of Montenegro troops and those who had retreated to organize a charge together to prepare for a battle to determine the outcome.

Zang Hong felt a little anxious when he saw the enemy's formation change, but he still looked calm and ordered, his voice a little hoarse.

"Archers prepare, release!"

"Archers, prepare, release for me!"

I shouted twice, but I didn't see an arrow flying down from the top of the city. Zang Hong was startled and looked back. It turned out that the archers were already tired and lying on the ground, not even wanting to move their fingers.

However, the bandits are already approaching the city gate and are about to attack. Without reinforcements, the city gate would be unable to be defended, but why didn't the prefect arrive?

In the critical moment, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps on the tower, and Zang Hong watched in confusion as Wang Xiu arrived with reinforcements.

He was relieved, and the support in his heart disappeared. He could no longer hold on, so he fell down. Thanks to Wang Xiu's quick eyes and hands, he caught it quickly, otherwise he would definitely have taken the lead in the tower.

Wang Xiu asked someone to arrange for Zang Hong to go down to rest, and he took over the command of the south gate.

Seeing the enemy troops rushing up, he quickly gave the order.

"Everyone, get ready, archers will be handed out. Rolling Stones, get ready, throw stones."

Although his command was not as good as Zang Hong's, it was still unsatisfactory when there were bandits under the city wall, causing considerable casualties to the Montenegrin Army.

Yu Du saw that the lethality of the officers and soldiers was not as good as before. He knew that the officers and soldiers were either tired or had a different commander. He was overjoyed and secretly thought that the opportunity had come.

With a wave of the flag, the remaining 20,000 troops were pressed forward.

Like a crazy gambler, he took the lead and charged forward while riding a war horse and wielding a machete.

The outcome of this battle is decided by this one.
