Huang Chuanbing stood on the scarred Lingchuan City, his eyes were full of worry, the Chu people had retreated, but he knew that they would come again. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the main force of the Chu State fell into a heavy siege in Luzhou, and saw that the whole army was about to be destroyed, Wu Teng wanted to open a gap from himself and tear a big hole in the northwest of the empire, if he couldn't hold Lingchuan, the northwest of the entire empire would fall into a sea of blood.

The number of field troops stationed in Lingchuan of Qi is not large, half of them have been wiped out in Anju and Leye, if it were not for this, he still has the certainty of holding Lingchuan, and now, after more than ten days of fighting, the elite soldiers in the city are less than three thousand, and the rest are all young and strong people in the city who have been temporarily recruited.

Looking back at the vast land behind him, it was the vast land of the empire, and he hoped that his letter of request for help could bring more reinforcements for himself, even if there was no regular army, just the county soldiers from all over the country, and the family soldiers of the gentry from all over the country could also help him.

He looked forward to it, but he didn't have any faith in his heart. Not because of this weather, but because of the officials everywhere, as well as the gentry who have enjoyed the riches of the world, are they really aware of the crisis?

The letter for help was sent out from the first day when the Chu army began to attack the city, and more than a dozen messengers Pegasus left the city, but until now, he had not seen a group of men and horses come to the rescue.

Huang Chuanbing knew very well in his heart that the northwest of the empire had been in turmoil. Annexing land and seizing wealth, those people are some good hands, but if they are allowed to throw away their heads, shed their blood, and fight for the country, I am afraid it will be even more difficult. They enjoyed the glory of the Empire, but they were not willing to shed their blood to protect the country.

In the hearts of those stupid guys, the Chu people are still vulnerable, and these letters for help sent by themselves are probably just to rob them of power and plot the little strength and wealth in their hands, right?

Huang Chuanbing suddenly felt like crying. The emperor's great victory in Luzhou must have reached the ears and eyes of those people long ago, and of course they didn't believe the letter for help he sent out at this time.

His hand tightly picked at the thick ice on the city wall, and Huang Chuanbing bit his lip tightly.

The city wall was seriously damaged, but fortunately, it is now a harsh winter, and a basin of water can be poured on, and it can condense into ice in a blink of an eye, and the originally gray city wall has now become crystal clear. If the season changes, I'm afraid that Lingchuan City will not be able to hold it for a long time.

Now, how long can I keep it? There seem to be more and more Chu troops.

Huang Chuanbing raised his eyes and looked into the distance, in the mist of mist, there seemed to be a cavalry approaching, he was startled, raised his hand, and the sound of war drums immediately sounded in the city. The soldiers poured into the walls, raised their swords and guns, and one after another heavy crossbows were pushed out of the caves, and the cotton crossbows covering them were uncovered, and the heat was kept to protect the bowstrings of the heavy crossbows, which were important weapons against the enemy's siege engines.

What appeared in the eyes of the Qi soldiers in the city was indeed a cavalry, but to everyone's surprise, this group of cavalry was only a dozen people.

But Huang Chuanbing's pupils contracted suddenly, and he stared at a banner painted with thunder and thunderbolt behind the dozen or so people under the city, the Ming army, the thunderbolt camp.

More than a dozen people stood on the edge of a stone's throw from the ground, and the first one was pointing at the city wall, as if discussing how to attack the city of Lingchuan. Everyone in the city was furious, and a crossbowman angrily twisted the string of the heavy crossbow and loaded a heavy crossbow.

"Stop!" Huang Chuanbing stopped the soldier's stupid behavior, the power of the heavy crossbow is great, but if it is used to shoot people, even if the person stands there and does not move, an arrow passes, and the hit rate is probably almost zero. If you really want to shoot, that's the luck of hitting the ball, and the heavy crossbow is never used against people.

The enemy under the city smiled unscrupulously, and there seemed to be no enemy in the city at all in his eyes, the corners of Huang Chuanbing's eyes jumped, and as soon as he stretched his hand back, one of his own soldiers immediately handed over a strong bow.

Huang Chuanbing drew his bow, opened the string, and aimed at the enemy under the city. At this distance, even if an ordinary archer shoots accurately, he has no strength, but he has this ability to make the feather arrow still have a strong lethality above that distance. He didn't expect an arrow to kill his opponent, but to startle him and scatter him was enough to boost the morale of the soldiers in the city.

The sound is like thunder, the arrows are like thunderbolts, a string of three arrows, like lightning rushed to the enemy under the city, the Qi army in the city saw the commander show this archery skill, and immediately cheered loudly.

More than a dozen people in the city raised their heads at the same time, but there was no avoidance as Huang Chuanbing expected, they didn't even move, as if they were stunned at this moment, seeing that the three arrows had reached the target, even if Huang Chuanbing was stunned in his heart, he still couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

But the next moment, his smile froze on his face, and the three arrows were about a foot away from the target, and they seemed to have encountered a great obstacle, and they were hovering in the air like that, and the feathers of the arrows were still trembling slightly, but they could no longer move forward.

A young general laughed heartily, lightly swayed the ape's back, as if plucking a flower in front of him, and took one of the feathered arrows in his hand, then the second, then the third.

"Rank 9 master!" Huang Chuanbing exclaimed, and suddenly remembered one person in the Thunderbolt camp, their deputy general, Yang Zhi, who was a ninth-level master. It seems that his skills are a little higher than rumored.

The cheers in the city were like a singing swan being choked by the neck, and suddenly it fell silent. Everyone looked at the dozen or so horsemen under the city in amazement.

Yang Zhi was very satisfied. His cultivation has taken another step. The emperor is already a grandmaster-level master, and the empress is already a ninth-level master, and Yang Zhi, who has always compared himself with the emperor, is now indifferent to the goal of catching up with Qin Feng, but he still wants to keep up with the emperor's pace.

Even if you fall behind, don't fall behind too much, otherwise, you really won't have any face.

Now it seems that he has taken a big step forward, although he is still far from the grandmaster, but at least, he already has a ninth-level cultivation.

Raising his head, he waved his hand and shouted, "Return the original bi." ”

The three feathered arrows flew back, but unlike the lightning bolts they had come before, they were slow when they returned, and one feared that a strong wind would blow them away casually.

Under the gaze of everyone, the three slow arrows accelerated and went straight to Huang Chuanbing, and with a few bangs, several iron shields were immediately erected in front of Huang Chuanbing.

The expected impact did not reach the iron shield, and the three feather arrows suddenly stopped a few feet away from the shield, and then with a buzz, they drew an arc, end to end, and continuously passed through the high flagpole above the city tower, and in the exclamation of everyone in the city, the Daqi flag that was still flying on the city after the Chu people attacked for more than ten days, accompanied by the sound of the flagpole breaking, fell down with a bang.

Under the city, there was the unbridled laughter of more than ten knights, and the Qi army in the city roared in unison, countless feathered arrows, heavy crossbows, and trebuchets were fired together, but at this time, more than ten knights had already galloped away.

The iron shield was separated from the left and right, and Huang Chuanbing's face was like ashes.

About ten miles away from Lingchuan City, there is a large camp of the Chu army, and now, about two miles to the right of the Chu army camp, a new camp is encamped, and the flag of the sun and the moon is flying high above the camp.

More than a dozen knights who had returned from Lingchuan City roared into the camp. And within the big camp, the Xinning County of Chu State, Wu Teng was already waiting outside the big tent of the Chinese army.

"General Lu, General Yang." Seeing the knight who jumped off the horse, Wu Teng's face was overjoyed, and he clenched his fists, "Your army came to help, and Wu is grateful." ”

Lu Feng laughed and returned the salute: "The country of Chu Qi's in-laws should help each other." ”

On Lu Feng's side, Yang Zhi still had a dark face, staring at Wu Teng up and down.

Wu Teng smiled bitterly, the country of in-laws, watch and help each other? In this war, it was the Ming State that lit a fire, but in the end it was the Chu State that burned. But can he blame the other party? The other party dug a pit, but Da Chu jumped down willingly.

"Wu Junshou, in the limelight outside, talk inside!" Lu Feng stretched out his hand to ask.

Walking into the big tent, a warm breath came to his face, untied the cloak on his body, dusted off the snowflakes on his body, and picked up the hot tea brought by his own soldiers, Lu Feng took a sip, looked at Wu Teng, and said bluntly: "Wu Junshou, my department is ordered by His Majesty to assist your army in attacking Lingchuan City." ”

"Thank you for your help!" Wu Teng nodded repeatedly.

"Tomorrow my Thunderbolt Battalion will launch an attack on Lingchuan City, and the subordinates of Wu Junshou will just watch from the sidelines." Yang Zhiyin's voice came, "But my Thunderbolt Camp is only responsible for breaking through the city for you, and the rest of the matter can be left to you to solve by yourself." ”

Wu Teng's face changed slightly, and he looked at Lu Feng.

"That's right." Lu Feng explained with a smile: "The order that my department received is to capture Lingchuan City for you, but next, the Wind Chasing Battalion will arrive, but the task of the Wind Chasing Battalion is to protect the grain route for the next army of Wujun Guard, and it will not directly participate in the battle." ”

Wu Teng immediately understood the plans of the Ming army, and they didn't want to get too involved in this war.

"There is another piece of information, maybe the Wu Junshou hasn't received it yet." Lu Feng looked at Wu Teng with a smile: "A few days ago, An Ruhai, the general in the western part of your country, crossed the Luoying Mountains and attacked the territory of Qi State. ”

Wu Teng stood up, "What General Lu means, I understand, what I want to do for General An Da, I Wu Teng can naturally do it, General An Da is not ready to go back alive, and I, Wu Teng, also have the determination to serve the country." ”
