Chapter 643: The City Breaks
In the city of Shexian City, the originally prosperous streets were sparsely populated at this time, and there were bursts of crying from time to time, Zhang Xiaozhong and Zhang Wei father and son rode war horses and walked slowly on the street, behind them, there were several people in Tsing Yi, holding weapons in their hands, looking around vigilantly, for fear that someone around them would come to attack Zhang Xiaozhong and his son.

Zhang Xiaozhong's father and son had solemn faces, they looked around, this piece of the house is close to the city wall, in today's battle, the most seriously damaged, from time to time there are huge stones falling on the house, the people inside are injured lightly, and the heavy is killed. It can be said that it is a mess, and there are bursts of wailing from time to time.
The father and son were in a heavy mood, before Li Jing came, the father and son were still immersed in the upcoming reward, but now it is different, Li Jing's stone throwing machine bombardment, not only hit the city wall of Shexian County, but also smashed on the hearts of the father and son, they found that the original strong city wall of Shexian County, at this time, can no longer protect the safety of the father and son.
"Hey!" Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh, there was even a trace of regret in his tone, thinking that he was under Luan Min, and he was also a general, and after Luan Min, he might not have a good future in the future, but now he was so cautious, and he was even more worried about what his fate would be after Shexian was breached?
"Father, you say?" Zhang Wei hesitated for a while and looked at Zhang Xiaozhong.
"I'm afraid it's too late, our family has a big business, where can we leave. Li Jing's subordinates are mostly cavalry, how far can our whole family go, not to mention, even if Li Jing lets us go, I'm afraid Su Yuanjing won't let us go. Zhang Xiaozhong shook his head and said very regretfully. He believed that today's Li Jing's attack had shaken the morale of the soldiers in Shexian County, not to mention how panicked those soldiers were, even if it was Su Yuanjing himself, it was the same, hundreds of catties of boulders smashed on the city wall, so that there was no place to stand on the city wall, standing on the city wall, you must be careful at any time whether you will be hit by the flying boulders.
And finally the explosion on the city wall, made the city wall stationed even worse, there were countless casualties on it, some soldiers escaped the attack of the boulders, but they could not resist the splash of stones, many people were hit through the chest by small stones, some people were full of wounds, those stone chips, the whole city wall is miserable. He even wondered if there would be anyone willing to defend the city wall tomorrow.
"Bang!" A loud bang sounded, waking up the father and son again, the two looked behind them, but saw that the sound of panic sounded on the city wall again, the father and son faintly felt that the city wall was trembling, obviously Li Jing led the army to attack Shexian again.
"Damn it, why won't it stop." Zhang Wei couldn't help but scolded angrily, but he didn't find that his voice was full of panic, in this situation, the Song army could only be beaten passively, and there was no chance to resist, although the Song army also had firearms, but because of the distance, it was impossible to burn those stone-throwing carts, and it was impossible to send troops to attack, Li Jing's guards and light cavalry had been waiting there for a long time, where could these sharp weapons be destroyed.
"Bang!" A loud noise came, Zhang Xiaozhong and his son had not yet reacted, and suddenly there were bursts of exclamations in the distance, but they saw a flame rising in the distance, and soon, the raging fire was burning, and the enemy building was already on fire.
"What a vicious Li Jing." Zhang Xiaozhong's face is pale, water and fire are ruthless, in the war, what the sin is afraid of is water and fire, the enemy building is solid, it is generally the command and rest place of the generals defending the city, and it has a certain defensive effect, but now it is under the attack of the other party, it is burned clean, and the blow to the morale of the generals in the army is conceivable.
"It's water, it's water." Suddenly a terrible sound sounded in the distance, the father and son looked again, but saw that a house on the street was ignited, a raging fire, the surrounding people panicked, or trampled on each other, or put out the fire, the scene was chaotic, but also led to the chaos of the whole city, once upon a time, although there was the protection of the strong city, but at this moment the city wall can not bring people safety, the enemy's attack has passed through the city wall, directly on the people's houses.
"Shexian, it's over." Zhang Xiaozhong looked at everything in front of him, and immediately knew that it was impossible for Shexian to defend it, and if it went on like this, Li Jing's army had not yet attacked the city wall, and the soldiers in the city probably didn't even have the heart to resist.
"Father, although Shexian is over, but we must not be finished, Luan Min's death has a lot to do with us, if we stay in Shexian, we will definitely die, we must leave here immediately, otherwise, as soon as the city is broken, it will be the death of you and me." Zhang Wei had a look of panic on his face.
"It's really a useless person, the court is incompetent, no wonder Li Jing can achieve today." Zhang Xiaozhong drove the war horse and ran towards his mansion, and behind him, there were bursts of screams, and in the city of Shexian City, a series of fires rose into the sky, and there was a panic.
Outside the city, the stone thrower throws oil or spirits on the side, but on the other hand, it is a boulder wrapped in straw, after igniting the straw, the boulder flies down into the city with flames, no matter what the final result is, as long as the flame and distance are close, it can quickly ignite everything around, and there is always a time to ignite the oil.
"Your Majesty, there are no soldiers left on the walls. I think I've been frightened by our attack, so I can attack. Hua Rong looked at Li Jing, his eyes flashed with horror, no one would have thought that Li Jing would use such a simple method to capture Shexian, the solid Shexian County was in front of Li Jing, and he didn't even have a chance to resist, and he could easily capture it in one day.
"Storm, rush up, open the gates, none of the gentry in the city can be killed, this king will kill them himself." Li Jing pulled out the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword at his waist, his eyes gloomy, and he looked at the city wall in the distance.
"Offense. The archers suppressed the walls, and the infantry stepped forward and broke through the gates. Hua Rong commanded the light cavalry to charge in person, at this time there was chaos on the city wall, bursts of artillery bombardment during the day, whenever the boulders flew in, the soldiers on the city head were frightened and fled in all directions, even if Zhang Di and Li Cheng and others supervised the battle, there was no way, and they could not stop the soldiers from escaping, after all, no one wanted to die so miserably. In the end, even Li Cheng didn't want to stay on the city wall.
Under the city wall, the light cavalry under the leadership of Hua Rong suppressed the remnants of the soldiers on the city wall with bows and arrows, although some soldiers were not afraid of death and were very brave to garrison the city wall, but in the face of the light cavalry's dense bows and arrows, the defense on the city wall was quickly suppressed.
"Boom." With a loud bang, the strong city gate finally went south under the effect of the broken city cone, the city gate was banged open, the huge iron gate fell to the ground, Hua Rong led the light cavalry into the city, Shexian, this strong city, did not hold even a day, was broken by Li Jing.
