At least a month or so away, under the day and night trek, as soon as the half moon passed, the pioneer battalion had appeared near Lingshui City, and one by one the scout reports were sent back to the frame of the left minister, and the old man's brows were also locked day by day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation in Lingshui City exceeded Cheng Yu's expectations, in the past half a month, more than half of the soldiers defending the city have suffered casualties, the towering city walls have become incomplete, and the most tricky thing is that in the rear of Lingshui City, there is a barbarian camp.

The situation in the city is unknown, and the giant city that Zuo Xiang thought could barely stop the barbarians turned out to be a situation where he was attacked on both sides.

Lingshui City is flanked by steep mountains, and the barbarians' war horses will never be able to climb over, and they can cross the giant city and cliffs, indicating that the strong man among the barbarians has already made a move.

"Regardless of the cost, open up the road to Lingshui City. ”

There was only one order from the left minister, and Cheng Yu, who served as the general of the vanguard battalion, fell into a bitter battle.

Along the way, a huge army of nearly 500,000 troops had already gathered, and it was impossible to arrive at the same time, and when Zuo Xiang's order reached the front army, the baggage battalion escorting the Shenwu artillery had only traveled more than half the way.

When Xu Yan was immersed in cultivating the foundation building method, far ahead, Dapu's soldiers were already completely fighting with the barbarians who had crossed Lingshui City.

Once the flames of war are ignited, it is difficult to extinguish them.

Lingshui City, the big tent of the Chinese army.

The gloomy general sat alone in the empty tent, and for half a month, the commander of the border army, who was over forty years old, had hardly closed his eyes.

"Report!"

The lieutenant, who had just come down from the city, hurried in.

"General, there are many people outside the city, and they look like refugees from the Northern Zhao Kingdom. ”

The Northern Zhao Kingdom has long been captured by the barbarians, and the refugees gathered outside the Lingshui City in the past few years have gathered more and more, and in previous years, the Lingshui City would also open the city gate to let these refugees take refuge in Dapu, since a year ago, a group of nearly 100 barbarians mixed into the Lingshui City, the gate of the Lingshui City, has never been opened to the Beizhao side.

Hearing that a large number of refugees had appeared in the city, Cheng Yi's bloodshot eyes flashed with a cold glint.

It's only half a moon, the barbarians' offensive is extremely fierce, and there are strange ice ladders that can make the barbarian iron cavalry jump straight to the head of the city, if it weren't for the brave and good fighting of the border army, and relying on the Shenwu cannons that have been continuously sent to Lingshui City in recent years, not to mention the half moon, I'm afraid this big city can't even hold it for three days.

Even so, the 50,000 border troops defending the city are now less than 20,000 people, and there is no shortage of food and grass in Lingshui City, but there is not much left of the wound medicine.

The iron armor swayed, and the burly general strode up to the city wall, accompanied by the captain.

In the distance, a black pressure pressed the crowds, the Beizhao refugees in tattered clothes, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, these foreign people who were broken by the barbarians have always lived in dire straits, and the end is either starved to death, or killed by the barbarians, for them, the only chance to survive can only be Lingshui City.

After the city, you can arrive at Guotai Min'an, Dapu, which is warm all year round.

"General, I'm afraid it's a fraud. ”

The young lieutenant worriedly reminded his general that there were not many defenders in the city, and his combat power was getting lower and lower, and if he encountered a surprise attack, Lingshui City was likely to be destroyed.

"Mobilize the Shenwu cannon and prepare to open the city gates. Cheng Yi calmly ordered, but the captain was shocked.

In the past year, the city gate of Lingshui City has never been opened, if those refugees are let in at this time, you don't have to think about it to know that there must be barbarians inside, and when the time comes, under the internal and external attacks, will the city still be able to hold it?

"General, you can't open the city gates!"

"Enforce military orders!" Cheng Yi roared with red eyes.

He didn't want to open the city gate, but if he didn't open the city gate, he wouldn't be able to attract the real main force of the barbarians, and there wasn't much left of the Shenwu bullets, and if Lingshui City wanted to hold out longer when it was attacked on both sides, it would have to hit the barbarian iron cavalry hard.

The opportunity has come, Cheng Yi decided to make a plan, this risky move, he has been waiting for a long time.

The cries outside the city became louder and louder, and the Beizhao refugees gathered under the city gate faced the cold city gate, and they no longer had the luxury of escaping into Dapu, they only hoped that those terrible alien races hidden in the distance were rushing over, and they were sandwiched between the battlefield of Dapu and the barbarians, and their fate could only be ashes.

"Door...... The door is open!"

I don't know who was the first to discover the strangeness of the city gate, the tall city gate that had been closed for a year was actually slowly opening.

As soon as the city gate opened, thousands of refugees immediately rushed in like crazy, at this time no one thought about what was ahead, the horror of the barbarians made them go through a hellish ordeal, even if they died in Lingshui City, they did not want to turn back.

Woo...... Woo...... Woo......

A low horn sounded in the barbarian camp in the distance, and the torrent of black iron armor rushed like a flood that opened the floodgates, and some strong men with their heads down hidden among the refugees drew their steel knives one after another and killed the Dapu border army near the city gate.

Once the gates are opened, they are no longer able to be closed.

In the blink of an eye, the Dapu soldiers in charge of the sling were slaughtered by the barbarians hiding among the refugees, the city gate was wide open, and in the distance, the tide of barbarian iron cavalry was getting closer and closer.

At the head of the city, Cheng Yi, who was wearing heavy armor, quietly held the battlement, not looking at the barbarians mixed with the refugees behind him, his eyes were always staring at the ironclad torrent in the distance.

Five miles, three miles......

While the general was calculating the distance, the rows of black hole guns had already been aimed at the city, and as long as the commander gave an order, a thousand divine weapons cannons would be ignited at the same time.

"Fire!"

With Cheng Yi's roar, the air between heaven and earth seemed to be shaken by the loud sound of ten thousand cannons.

Boom! Boom!

The only remaining Shenwu bullets were used up at one time, and those barbarian iron horsemen who were not afraid of death finally paid a heavy price, and the iron armor could not block the power of the artillery fire.

Like a thousand streamers pouring down, every Shenwu bomb exploded, it would bring a piece of flesh and blood to fly, nearly 10,000 iron horsemen, under the artillery fire, more than half of the casualties in an instant, the rest of the barbarians wanted to continue to rush and kill, but the violent roar made those war horses no longer have the courage to charge.

The fighting in the city continued, and the city gates had begun to fall slowly, after all, there were not many barbarians mixed with the refugees, and the border troops defending the city were quickly strangled under the desperate fight.

Looking at the retreating barbarians, the generals at the head of the city did not have the slightest joy, and Cheng Yi's eyes were filled with regret and determination.

It is true that the barbarians have been hit hard, but the Shenwu bullets have also been used up, and when the next confrontation is held, it should be the lives of those border soldiers who are exhausted.

Xu Yan was awakened by the buzzing of the sky, reined in his thoughts, and looked out of the car.

Lingshui City is still far away, listening to the sound should be the sound of the Shenwu cannon, the upcoming battlefield makes Xu Yan smell a heavy atmosphere.

It seems that the border army has long been fighting with the barbarians......

Thinking of the team of barbarian knights he met in the Qi Country back then, Xu Yan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

The barbarian iron cavalry is indeed strong, it is still an ordinary knight, if the real strong man in the barbarian tribe makes a move, a Lingshui City may not be able to stop it, even the people in the imperial city of Qi can rush in, and the strongest flying dragon army in Qi country has nothing to do, it can be seen that the strength of the barbarian is not only martial arts.

Are there cultivators among the barbarians?

Xu Yan's question, no one could answer, as he got closer and closer to Lingshui City, a trace of uneasiness in Xu Yan's heart slowly emerged. (To be continued.) )
