Now that Fan Hu has said this, everyone can't say much. They can only choose to believe Fan Hu.
After all, compared to Fan Hu, their strength is indeed far behind.
Qin Qiong and Jiang Song know best.
Because although Shan Xiongxin and others had heard about Fan Hu's achievements, they had not witnessed it with their own eyes. Some things cannot be described in words.
——
In the city, the defenders still did not relax.
Tang Bi is not an easy person to deal with. He was Luo Yi's general before and he also made many achievements.
Naturally, he understands the matters of marching in the army.
He knew very well that the imperial army would arrive soon, so the rebels outside the city must be anxious to break the city, and they must not take it lightly at this moment.
Tang Bi divided the soldiers and horses in the city into two parts and changed their defenses day and night to prevent Fan Hu and others from making a surprise attack at night.
Soldiers and horses patrolled back and forth on the tower.
The firelights burning everywhere made the area near the city tower quite bright, and everyone could see what was going on down the mountain.
And at this moment.
Fan Hu led a group of elites, wearing night clothes as a shield, and slowly approached the city wall.
Finally, the soldiers and horses approached the city wall.
The ladder was set up directly, and the sudden movement outside the city undoubtedly attracted the attention of the defenders.
Immediately some soldiers shouted loudly:
"No, there's an enemy attack outside the city!"
Many of the defenders moved in a somewhat embarrassed manner, looking toward the outside of the city, quite nervously.
Fan Hu had anticipated all this.
Qizhou City is heavily defended, and trying to sneak in quietly is tantamount to wishful thinking.
But he is no ordinary person.
"All officers and men listen to the order and follow me into the city!"
Fan Hu shouted, holding a shield in his left hand and a Yunhong Sword in the other hand.
Although on the frontal battlefield, the weapon Fan Hu uses most is the three-pointed two-edged sword, the Yunhong Sword is certainly not unfamiliar to him as the first exclusive equipment for learning Wuji Sword Technique.
After shouting, Fan Hu ignored the soldiers at the rear and directly led the way to kill them.
Feeling Fan Hu's ferocity, the people on the left and right suddenly felt their blood boiling, and shouts of killing followed:
"kill!"
They gritted their teeth and followed.
Seeing the rebels coming one after another, the defenders were also startled. One of the defenders shouted anxiously:
"Quickly block them, don't let the enemy come in!"
Those rocks and trees were all thrown downwards. The soldiers following Fan Hu were unlucky enough to be knocked to the ground and died on the spot.
This is the cruelty of the battlefield.
However, the offensive on the tower did not affect Fan Hu, and he still moved forward bravely.
The shield held in his left hand was blocked above, allowing the stones and rolling wood to fall, all of which were blocked aside.
When the defenders saw this scene, they couldn't help but panic.
"No, use hot oil quickly and pour it all over. Don't let the rebels come in."
The defenders obeyed the order, and a pot of hot oil poured down from the tower and struck above Fan Hu.
Seeing this scene, Qin Qiong and others, who were about to rush into the city, couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. Fan Hu's shield can block rocks and falling wood, but it can't block the hot oil!
But the next moment, everyone looked surprised.
Because they saw that the hot oil poured down by the defenders was still blocked by the shields. It slipped from the surrounding area to the foot of the city wall and made a 'sizzling' sound.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Fan Hu was fine.
——
And on top of the ladder.
Fan Hu was also a little surprised. He knew very well that under normal circumstances, the shield in his hand could not block the hot oil.
Even if it can be blocked, the hot oil flowing from the surrounding area will inevitably get on him.
But just now, Fan Hu held up his shield and kept walking, but his body was not contaminated at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that "you can walk among hundreds of flowers without leaving a single leaf on your body".
Probably, this is the effect of [breaking the city first]!
Fan Hu had no worries. He climbed onto the city with all his strength. His speed was so fast that he saw the city tower in the blink of an eye.
At this point, Fan Hu blocked the shield in front, suddenly jumped up, and was already on the tower.
None of the defenders here reacted.
When they saw Fan Hu, they couldn't help but be stunned, and their shocked expressions were definitely not fake.
The defenders looked like they had seen a ghost, but Fan Hu showed no mercy. The Yunhong Sword had already been unsheathed, and he slashed down with a clean stroke, killing several people in an instant.
"We, the rebels, are acting on behalf of heaven. Those who lay down their weapons and surrender will not be killed. If we stubbornly resist and remain stubborn, today will be the day for your death!"
People kept falling under Yun Hong's sword, and the cold light looked ferocious under the firelight.
Fan Hu's voice seemed particularly clear in the night and reached everyone's ears.
However, the defenders did not give up easily, and they actually took the initiative to kill Fan Hu. He wanted to rely on his numerical advantage to kill Fan Hu and drive out the rebels.
It's just that they underestimated Fan Hu.
Although Fan Hu was the only one rushing up the tower at this moment, his feet were as solid as rock and he remained motionless. With a sword and a shield, he stood as unshakably as the God of War.
This was a one-sided killing.
The rushing defenders were vulnerable to Fan Hu. They fell one after another, and the piled up corpses were as terrifying as those in Beijing.
At this moment, with Fan Hu's delay, the soldiers behind him also followed up. They seized the opportunity and rushed to the tower with all their strength, arriving at the battlefield one by one.
"Follow me forward and defeat the enemy!"
Fan Hu didn't waste any time. He said hello, raised his shield and moved forward with his knife. The faces of the soldiers were full of fear. They understood how powerful Fan Hu was.
Those who had just rushed forward were all killed by Fan Hu's sword.
When Fan Hu took a step forward, they took a step back. The crowd was bustling, but they couldn't resist the despair in their hearts.
——
outside the city.
"Great, Jianwei went in."
Qin Qiong said with surprise on his face, and at the same time he was filled with emotions. Apart from Fan Hu, probably no one else can achieve such a result.
Shan Xiongxin also nodded and said:
"The defenders can't stop Jianwei. This is a good opportunity for us to break the city. Let's do it!"
Everyone had been prepared for a long time. Now that Fan Hu had entered the tower, they took the initiative.
"Fight in and capture Qizhou!"
Someone was already shouting. Qin Qiong and others were at the front. They led their soldiers and horses to kill towards the city gate.
Some soldiers and horses entered from the city tower, while Qin Qiong and others attacked from the front of the city gate.
The battle has fully begun.
But the defenders in the city were completely at a disadvantage. They were overwhelmed by Fan Hu's momentum.
Fan Hu is like a demon king who makes everyone's hair stand on end. There was blood everywhere on the tower and the wails of the wounded. It was really a scene like purgatory on earth.
"Those who lay down their weapons will not be killed!"
Fan Hu still pressed forward step by step, but instead of killing them all, he gave him another chance to choose.
If you want to live, then give up resistance.
Countless defenders were silent. They looked at each other and the weapons in their hands, hesitating.
