Chapter 80
Seeing more and more people climbing the city wall, Zheng Qiuyun ordered in an orderly manner, "Luo Lang Ya Pai."

This wolf-tooth slap was made of heavy wood with many spikes on it. Once the wolf fang fell down, many flies crawling up from the bottom were swatted to the ground.The Wolf Fang Beat can also be retrieved with a winch and used multiple times.

A group of larvae fell down while wailing, and some fish that escaped the net were still hanging on the city wall.

Ba Luo shouted: "Keep going!"

Zheng Qiuyun ordered again: "Prepare the iron fire bed and release it!"

The iron fire bed is made of wrought iron and is shaped like a wooden board with wooden wheels underneath.There are iron leaves and hay on it.Light the hay and use a winch to lower it from the city wall to burn those who attack the city.

The people who used ladders to climb the city wall were effectively controlled, but they also used wooden curtains to raise the walls. When the wooden curtains were at the same height as the city wall, they used wooden boards as cover to climb up the city wall.

Zheng Qiuyun ordered: "Throw the oil bag, light the arrow on fire, and shoot at the wooden curtain."

The oil bag is filled with animal urine. The oil bag will burst when it hits the wooden curtain. As soon as the oil is sprinkled on the wooden curtain, Zheng Qiuyun will shoot the arrow with fire over it.The wooden curtains of the crickets burned instantly, and the crickets were unable to escape. Some jumped directly from the wooden curtains and could not survive.

The second wave of siege by the Chrysalis also failed and damaged the wooden curtain which cost countless manpower and material resources.Ba Luo was furious and sent another big guy.

Sun Peng said in a panic: "It's a Lin Chong car!"

I saw that it was very high, like a tower, with wheels underneath that could move it, and there were many larvae hiding inside.The larvae shot arrows at the city wall. The uppermost larvae climbed up the wall via ladders, and then the lower larvae rushed up again.

The soldiers panicked and responded to the men in the car. The men below continued to attack the city with wooden sticks.Zheng Qiuyun carefully observed the rush chariot and saw that the city gate was about to be broken.

"Land mine."

Lu Huaiyu and Sun Shaoyan led people over and asked the soldiers to throw them into the Linchong vehicle. Several land mines were thrown in, and the Linchong vehicle fell into pieces.

The Chi people failed to attack the city three times, their morale dropped sharply, and Ba Luo withdrew his troops.Set up camp nearby and prepare for a sneak attack at night.

Zheng Qiuyun asked the soldiers guarding the city to be more careful and observe carefully.At night, while it was dark, the Chrysalis people began to dig trenches around them. They hid in the trenches and refused to attack, trying to use up Linjiang County's food and allow them to surrender without a fight.

This trick really worked. Zheng Qiuyun had stored a lot of food, but if it was given to the people in Linjiang County, there would always be a day when it was all gone.When they heard that the Chrysalis people were guarding outside and that no one could get out, the soldiers and civilians in Linjiang County panicked.

Zheng Qiuyun sent a few eloquent people to appease them. They informed the people that the grain stored in the granary was enough for reinforcements to arrive to stabilize people's hearts.But no one knows whether there are reinforcements or when they will arrive.

The larvae had only been around for ten days, and the granary in Linjiang County was at its bottom.People in the county began to look for tree bark and wild vegetables to eat.After another five days, all the bark and weeds were eaten, and everyone was extremely hungry.

Zheng Qiuyun passed by on the road. When the people saw Zheng Qiuyun, they felt like they had grasped at straws to save their lives. "Please, give us something to eat."

The child grabbed his mother's sleeve and cried softly, "Mom, I'm hungry."

Her mother wept silently, unable to do anything.Zheng Qiuyun couldn't bear it and distributed his food reserves to them.

Sun Peng was very sad when he saw it.If this continues, everyone from the common people to the officers and soldiers will starve to death.

He discussed with Zheng Qiuyun, "It's not an option to continue like this. Why don't we rush out with our troops. Since the number of larvae is not as large as last time, we should still have a chance of winning."

Zheng Qiuyun nodded, and then she placed an order for food in the mall so that the soldiers could eat enough before breaking out.But this way, she doesn't have enough money to buy new weapons.Sun Peng led a group of people to break out of the encirclement, while Zheng Qiuyun led a group of people to cover them with mines and arrows.

The city gate opened, and Zheng Qiuyun was followed by men and horses.After they came out, they changed their formation and connected shield to shield, forming a solid defense.The soldiers hid behind and drew their bows and arrows.

Sun Peng rushed out with his men and horses and headed straight for the man.

The Chrysalis people had been preparing for this day for a long time. Almost as soon as Sun Peng and his troops showed up, the Chrysalis people hiding in the trench started shooting arrows in this direction.At the same time, Zheng Qiuyun also asked soldiers to throw landmines into the trenches where arrows were fired.

Sun Peng shouted: "Don't retreat, charge forward!"

They blocked it with shields, and no one retreated.Escaping the arrows, they rushed to the trenches of the Chrysalis and fought with them.Sun Peng rushed to the front and fought bloody.

Once the distance is shortened, whether it is a land mine or an arrow, they lose their effect in face-to-face combat.The two sides fought hand to hand with swords.The competition is who is stronger and who reacts faster.

Sun Peng's purpose is to protect his family, even if he loses his own life.Seeing his desperate fighting style, the man was also a little panicked.However, considering that they had sufficient food and exhausted weapons, these people were just stubbornly resisting, and they did not retreat.

Ba Lu asked the men to besiege Sun Peng, "Capture the thief first and capture the king first."

Sun Peng swung his spear and killed a spider man, and then guarded against the spider man behind him.But in the end, two fists were no match for four hands. The man on the left slashed him with a knife.Even so, he struggled to continue rushing to fight for a way for the people in the city to survive.

Zheng Qiuyun took the person who was originally responsible for covering and joined the fight. Zheng Qiuyun helped Sun Peng up, put him on a horse, and asked a soldier to take him back first.

The locusts constantly besieged Zheng Qiuyun, and Zheng Qiuyun also fell into the same predicament as Sun Peng.She used the spear to shoot at the man, and when the arrows in the spear were used up, she drew her soft sword to fight against the enemy.

Ba Luo discovered that their real leader was Zheng Qiuyun, and he ordered: "Seize this woman! Seize her!"

The soldiers on Zheng Qiuyun's side wanted to save her, but they were all blocked by the Chrysalis. There were fewer and fewer soldiers around Zheng Qiuyun.

Suddenly the sound of drums came from the distance, "Kill!"

Some soldiers with sharp eyes recognized the words on the flag and shouted excitedly: "There are clouds hanging above it. It's General Pei who is here. He is here with reinforcements!"

"Our reinforcements are here!"

The morale of Zheng Qiuyun's side increased greatly, and everyone fought desperately with the Zhi people. When the Zhi people heard that their reinforcements were coming, they were temporarily confused.Zheng Qiuyun led his men and Pei Yuan worked together inside and outside, beating the man until he could not escape.

Pei Yuanqi glanced at Zheng Qiuyun from a distance and smiled at her.Then he patted his horse and caught up with Ba Luo who was trying to escape. Within a few rounds, he captured him alive. "Why don't you just catch him quickly?"

Seeing that their leader had been captured and enemy reinforcements had arrived, the other Zhizhi people also dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Zheng Qiuyun smiled back at him and then ordered: "Open the city gate!"

The city gate opened, and Pei Yuanqi led his troops into the city. The people cheered, "We defeated the Chrysalis, and our reinforcements are here! We finally won!"
