Zhou Qi looked down on Xiao Yuan. As soon as he finished speaking, something changed outside the city gate.
I saw a man riding out on horseback, riding alone. After reaching a stone's throw, he tightened the reins in his hands, then raised his sword and shouted:
"Listen to the rebels in the city! Open the city quickly and surrender! Otherwise, it will be too late for you to regret it when the city is broken!"
The person coming was none other than Peng Shuang. He raised his sword and called for battle. When Zhou Qi heard this, his nose almost became angry. He immediately pointed at Peng Shuang and said angrily: "Who can kill the enemy general!"
"The general is willing to go!" A tall man said immediately: "Within three rounds, his head will be chopped off!"
"Okay!" Zhou Qi was delighted: "General Shi Yong, the enemy is arrogant, and I order you to kill this man quickly to enhance the prestige of our army. When the time comes, I will give you a heavy reward!"
"Got the order!" Upon hearing that there was a reward, Shi Yong clasped his fists excitedly, then took his weapon and walked quickly down the city wall.
"Drive--" Not long after, the city gate opened, and Shi Yong rode out. As he rushed towards Peng Shuang, he shouted loudly: "The enemy will die!"
Seeing his menacing appearance, Peng Shuang sneered. Instead of panicking, he hit the horse's butt and rushed towards Shi Yong.
The horses' hooves trampled the ground, raising a slight amount of dust. The two men soon met, and the sound of weapons clashing was immediately heard.
After the blow, Peng Shuang immediately turned the horse's head. While riding the horse, he also aimed at Shi Yong, glared angrily, and struck a vicious blow to the head.
His weapon is a broadsword with an extremely long blade. When used with full strength, it is extremely fast and powerful.
The strong wind hit, and Shi Yong had no time to dodge, so he could only raise his weapon and take a hard blow.
The sound of gold and iron and the neighing of war horses sounded almost at the same time. This powerful and heavy sword directly smashed the hooves of Shi Yong's horse to the ground.
The latter's heart was in a state of shock, the tiger's mouth had already been torn apart, and he also showed a strong look of fear. When he looked up again, there was only an icy cold light in his eyes, heading towards his neck.
Blood spurted out and severed heads fell to the ground.
At this time, Zhou Qi on the city was still waving sideways and said: "Quick! Beat the drum hard! Cheer for General Shi!"
"General...general..." The drummer swallowed hard.
"kindness?"
"Shi, I'm afraid General Shi can no longer hear the sound of the drums..." the drummer stammered.
"What!?" Zhou Qi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately took two steps forward and looked down.
Seeing that Shi Yong's head was missing, he was shocked and hurriedly said to the left and right: "This...who dares to fight the enemy general?"
Among this group of people, Shi Yong was considered brave, but as soon as he got down, he was beheaded as soon as he couldn't get together. After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads as they didn't dare to fight.
"Trash! They are all trash!" Seeing this situation, Zhou Qi cursed angrily, but he himself did not dare to fight.
At this time, seeing that the enemy general had been killed, all the soldiers on Xiao Yuan's side began to raise their halberds high and shout in unison to cheer for Peng Shuang.
The latter rode a war horse, shook off the blood on the tip of his knife, and continued to shout towards the city: "You bandits, why would you send such a rat! Who else dares to fight with me, Peng Shuang!"
This is a general.
Although he was trapped in Liucheng with Xiao Yuan at the wrong time, he had a natural power of a tiger general.
At present, the morale of both sides is no longer proportional. Zhou Qi still dares to challenge. He repeatedly ordered: "Hurry! Close the city gate quickly!"
Without his orders, the rebels who had followed Shi Yong to fight had already begun to scatter back into the city, and the tall city gate slowly closed with a "squeaking" sound.
Peng Shuang wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue him and enter the city, but he was shot back by random arrows from the city.
In desperation, he could only ride his horse back to the main formation. After seeing Xiao Yuan, he clasped his fists on the horse and said: "General, the enemy is as cowardly as rats, so we will send rats to death."
"The general is brave and killed the general in front of the formation, which greatly boosted the morale of our army." Xiao Yuan praised him, and then shouted in a loud voice: "Listen to the order!"
As he spoke, he drew out his sword and pointed forward: "Attack the city!"
"Dong! Dong! Dong Dong——"
As the exciting war drums sounded, the soldiers pushed out the trebuchets one after another and began to load stone bullets.
"put--"
Following the order, huge stone bullets were thrown through arcs in the air and crashed into various parts of the city gate.
Rumbling sounds sounded from time to time, accompanied by miserable howls one after another. From time to time, rebels always fell from the top of the city.
Xiao Yuan's side is a real regular army. Not only are the siege equipment complete, but the officers and men have also gone through bloody battles and have rich battlefield experience.
As for the rebels, most of them were just rogues. They didn't even have regular armor. How could they have seen such a formation? Many people had begun to run around the city. Zhou Qi was even more frightened and kept commanding: "Avoid! Pay attention. Avoid——”
"Kill——" After the trebuchet, Xiao Yuan's side began to launch a full-scale charge.
"Kill--" The general took the lead. Under his leadership, all the soldiers shouted loudly and began to rush toward the city gate crazily.
The ladders one after another were quickly set up all over the city wall, and countless soldiers began to climb up the ladders desperately.
The huge siege vehicle was also pushed to the city gate, hanging thick and sharp wooden stakes, and several people worked together to violently hit the city gate again and again.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly! Hold them back -" Zhou Qi was staring and shouting at the top of the city.
Things used to defend the city, such as stones, rolling logs, etc., also began to be thrown down the city by the rebels. Once they fell, they were often smashed to death and injured a large area.
Arrows from both sides continued to shoot in the sky, and from time to time someone was hit by an arrow and howled miserably.
The war has begun, and the blood of the soldiers is being shed. However, in the ancient battlefield with cold weapons, it is not so easy to break through a city. Sometimes, even if the troops are superior, the city cannot be broken for several months. What's more, this time In the first battle, Xiao Yuan still fought six thousand against ten thousand.
This was a fierce siege. Fortunately, the combat power and morale of both sides were not proportional.
On the first day, Xiao Yuan's offensive was fierce. Although the rebels became more and more chaotic, they still managed to hold on.
On the second day, the rebels became more and more frightened as they fought, and Zhou Qi began to panic, but Fengcheng was still not broken.
At this point in the battle, Xiao Yuan had lost more than 2,000 troops. While resting, Ye Cheng also began to say: "General, the food supplies Yu Anmin promised to our army have not arrived yet. The dry food our army brought with us has not arrived yet." , have been used up, Fengcheng, I’m afraid we can’t attack anymore.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan said directly: "No! The rebels have been frightened by our army. This battle is all about the bravery of the soldiers! If we give up now, the blood shed by the soldiers in front will become Meaningless!"
Afterwards, Xiao Yuan's troops began to eat grass and fight!
Yu Anmin vowed that he didn't have to worry about food and grass, but now he is delaying it again, which shows that he has sinister intentions.
