Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 728 Chariot
At night, Shuilongguan suddenly attacked the city. Cheng Rong personally led a team of cavalry to set fire to Xue Ju's granary in the dark. Suddenly, rockets came all over the sky, like rain, and the wind fueled the fire. Under Xue Ju's eyes, there was already a continuous fire .

"Cheng Rong, Xue Ju is here!" Cheng Rong commanded the army to charge left and right, when suddenly a banner with the word Xue was raised, and Xue Ju commanded the elite soldiers to block the way and come out to fight.

"Brothers, run!" Cheng Rong turned his horse's head and quickly withdrew from the battlefield, leaving only a mess behind him, and countless people took the opportunity to run around.

"My lord, there are unruly people who escaped from Shuilong Pass suddenly, do you want to stop and kill them all?" General Wu Gang stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"Hmph, among these people, there should be our spies who took the opportunity to run out, and ordered that no interception be allowed, and the whole army quickly defend!" Xue Ju was afraid of exposing his spies, so he immediately ordered the troops back to camp.

The next day, when the Empress Dowager of Shuilongguan was staying in the palace, Baosi, Cheng Rong, Tutu Antong, Mingchao and other generals talked and laughed happily.

"Okay, that's great. Now our secret work has broken through and sent the news to the inland princes that Shuilongguan was besieged. I believe that King Qin's army will gather at Shuilongguan soon. At that time, Xirong Boli and Xue Ju will be alone. I can't escape!" Bao Si couldn't help smiling.

"Report, Qi report to the Empress Dowager, my lords, Xi Rong soldiers support Xue Ju's troops, a hundred thousand cavalry have surrounded Shuilong Pass, and the ladder has begun to be erected!" At this time, the scouts hurried inside to report the military situation.

"Looks like the old boy Xue Ju was so angry at the torch last night that he wanted to attack Shuilongguan with all his strength! It just so happens that Xi Rong and Xue Ju's army is good at field battles and attacking fortified cities. He really sent himself to death!" Jug Tu couldn't help but look up. laughed.

At the hour of dawn, at the dawn of the East, the Xirong army blew the sound of the horns, and the sound shook the battlefield. A hundred thousand troops pushed Lu Gongcar, carried the ladder, and launched a full-line general attack on Shuilongguan like the tide. The moment the army rushed to the city wall of Shuilongguan, the Xirong army All the bows and crossbows were fired, and for a while, the curtain of arrows soaring into the sky covered the city tower, like a lightning bolt, and in an instant, the water dragon was closed and filled with arrows.

"Kill!" Xue Ju and Fang Yun yelled angrily, and commanded the troops to set up ladders to climb the city. Jug Tu and Cheng Rong saw the opportunity, and with a long cry, ordered An Tong to wave the command flag. The stone machine was launched in an all-round way, and the stones and fireballs that smashed the sky and covered the earth beat the Vietnamese army to the ground, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and corpses were scattered all over the place.

"Duke Yue, Judu'er had a conspiracy long ago. They prepared a lot of trebuchets to ambush in the depths. Now they just wait for us to enter the target, and they will fight randomly. If this continues, our [-] army will be gone!" Fang Yun blew his beard and stared anxiously, and came to Xue Ju and shouted loudly.

"Damn it, we also have a huge siege engine, order everyone to get close to the city wall and smash it violently!" Xue Ju said angrily.

In a short time, the Lu Gong car of the Vietnamese army rushed to the city of Shuilongguan and rammed fiercely, and Shuilongguan was suddenly covered in dust.

"Ku Tu, the old man Xue Ju finally got the big thing up, and ordered the troops to throw cans and pour oil!" Cheng Rong talked and smiled calmly, pointing at the enemy, and calmly said to Khu Tu.

With a wave of Jue Tu's hand, the Zhou army threw oil tanks at the Yue army. The Yue army was surrounded by filthy oil stains and were cursing angrily. Suddenly, a group of crossbowmen stood on the city wall and fired rockets at Lu Gong's chariot. In an instant, the fire blazed into the sky, and the Vietnamese army was burned to the ground, crying and howling, and fled in all directions. Lu's bus suddenly became a fireball. The wind helped the fire, and the fire helped the wind.

"My lord, the excavation defense is very tight, and our army cannot break through the city wall!" Fang Yun galloped into the barracks and complained to Xue Ju.

"Fang Yun, hurry up and send people to Shuilongguan to insult him. In short, he will make trouble as much as he can, and he must force Qu Tu to lead his troops out!" Xue Ju smirked very meanly, and immediately told Fang Yun.

"Yes!" Fang Yun prepared a thousand soldiers, rode to the gate and started cursing, slandering and humiliating Que Tu and Cheng Rong, using extremely despicable methods.

"Little Fang Yun, you are extremely shameless waiting to kill the king and surrender the enemy. It is ridiculous to come here to scold the battle with such peace of mind. I advise you to go and prepare a coffin for yourself, and wait to die!" Cheng Rong waved his feather fan and laughed contemptuously at the insulting Vietnamese army.

"My lord, Zhou Jun didn't fall for the trick, what should I do?" Fang Yun's subordinates saw that something was wrong, so they hurriedly asked Fang Yun for instructions.

"Command, use the trebuchet to shoot poisonous smoke!" Fang Yun opened his mouth hysterically, and his subordinates pushed the trebuchet, and began to fire coal bombs that could emit poisonous smoke. For a while, the bombs rained down, and the water dragon was closed instantly A cloud of smog was raised, and Zhou Jun covered his mouth and staggered.

"Okay, pass the order, the soldiers board Lu Gong's car, and shoot crossbow arrows condescendingly in the car!" Xue Ju ordered the soldiers to get on the car with a face full of ambition.

Immediately, the Western soldiers and the Vietnamese army released arrows together, and the ferocious rain of arrows immediately covered all the battlements of Shuilongguan.

"Marshal, the bows and arrows of the Western Army soldiers are very fierce, and many of our soldiers have been shot!" An Tong saw that the brothers were moaning on the ground, blood flowing like a river, and hurried back to report the excavation.

The excavator sent orders to defend the line of defense desperately, and selected a group of sharpshooters to shoot and kill the generals of Xi Rong and the Vietnamese army.

"Jutu, let me draw a big jackpot!" At this moment, a delicate hand pressed firmly on the shoulder of Juetu.

"I see the Empress Dowager!" Jue Tu was taken aback, turned around quickly, and half-knelt down to Bao Si to report.

"Ju Tu, it's wartime now, we are all the children of the Great Zhou, we should work together to wipe out the enemy together!" Seeing the heroic appearance of Bao Si, she drew a bow and crossbow with her own hands, loaded the arrow, and said in a very cool way. Aimed at the opponent, only heard the sound of a mechanism, flying arrows and shooting stars, as expected, a general of the enemy had been hit by an arrow and screamed, and fell off Lu Gong's car!
"The empress dowager is holy!" Zhou Jun's morale was boosted for a while, and they all cheered.

Xue Ju immediately checked the damage and found that the general Wu Gang had been killed by an arrow. He was so frightened that his forehead turned blue. He quickly ordered the archers to shoot a volley, but unexpectedly, the water dragon was turned off and the arrows were so fierce that countless Vietnamese soldiers had already been shot dead. , until late at night, still fighting fiercely.

In the Xirong camp, Boli was very angry at Xue Ju and Fang Yun's attack, thinking that the people of the Central Plains were not good at fighting at all. But the soldiers lined up with shields and shot arrows at the back of the formation, so if they don't attack the city with one heart, once they miss the opportunity to attack, when the princes of the Central Plains hear the news of Chuxiu's death, they will definitely serve the king with all their strength, and it will be over by then!"

"Xue Ju, don't forget, boy, this is the territory that your Central Plains ceded to us in Xirong, so of course I will be in charge of it. Forget it, you will repair tomorrow, and our Xirong army will attack with all our strength!" Bo Li stared at Xue Ju angrily. road.

The next day, the Xirong army began to attack the city. The ladders passed the moat, and the Xirong soldiers filled up the moat with stones in one fell swoop. Order the shield soldiers to step forward to cover the shooter.

With a strange cry, the soldiers of the West rushed up the tower on the ladders. Cheng Rong immediately ordered Zhou Jun to fire a thorn ball with a lever. The countless sharp iron thorns made the soldiers of the West unable to stand. The Xijun soldiers fell to the ground one after another, with their hands broken and their heads broken.

"Marshal, Qutu and Cheng Rong are too powerful, and they have so many arrows that they can't attack them at all!" Conley went back to his tent in embarrassment and complained to Bo Li.

"Xue Ju, didn't you say that there is a place called Liangguo near Shuilongguan in Dazhou? This commander thinks that if we really can't win by storming Shuilongguan, we might as well send people to persuade Liangguo to surrender and let them switch and release our iron cavalry. Come in, go around to the back of the Shuilong Pass, and then cooperate with the inside and the outside, wouldn't it be possible to win?" Bai Li smiled slyly.

"Marshal, Liang Guo is under the command of Liang general Wang Ming, but this person was promoted by Zhou Ji back then, and Zhou Ji was later killed by excavation. In my opinion, it is better to send a lobbyist to persuade Wang Ming. If Wang Ming is willing to submit, then I will let the emperor make him a duke!" Xue Ju said with a sly smile.

"Ku Tu, Xi Rong and Xue Ju haven't attacked the city these days, I think they are most likely plotting to buy Liang Guo's general Wang Ming!" Cheng Rong felt a little strange at Shuilongguan, and immediately came to discuss with Qu Tu, and said carefully .
