The four masters succeeded, Luo Siping rushed out with the remaining two hundred people without hesitation, and resolutely killed the city gate.

Yuan Fang's front army did not stop after capturing Kaiyang Port, after a day and a half plus a night of rapid marching, finally arrived near Pear Blossom City, after a meal, the troops were slightly repaired and divided into two routes, one route was led by Qin Yan, with 10,000 heavy infantry of the Rock Legion and 3,000 light cavalry of the Lone Wolf Legion in ambush in a col ten miles outside Pear Blossom City to wait for the opportunity, the Taiji Legion and the remaining 7,000 lone wolf legion cavalry led by Yuan Fang went to the west of Pear Blossom City, and made a feint posture to attract the attention of the defenders, of course, in fact, there is no need to feint, Just lighting a torch to expose your whereabouts has already served the purpose.

On a hill on the outskirts of the west of the city, Yuan Fang and his entourage looked at Pear Blossom City from afar, only to see flags on the city wall, spears lined up, and the defenders were waiting for them. ”

Yuqing frowned and commented: "The army is cleaned up, and the battle is not chaotic, it should be well-trained and elite." ”

Yuan Fang was in a good mood, pouted and said, "How is the training?" There are only more than 10,000 people, but we have 30,000, and Luo Siping and they should cooperate inside and outside, I don't believe they can still hold it. ”

Yuqing persuaded: "Brother-in-law, you can't underestimate the enemy." ”

Yuan Fang shrugged, spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter if I underestimate the enemy or not, as long as you don't underestimate the enemy, it's okay, anyway, it's not my command." Yuqing glanced at Yuan Fang, this product is really lazy, and he throws everything to himself, but he is idle.

Li Rui, the leader of the lone wolf legion, said depressedly: "Doctor Yuan, our lone wolf legion is a cavalry, but now it has been reduced to a logistics force for transporting siege equipment, do you think we also assign a task?" ”

Yuan Fang smiled and comforted: "Without those siege equipment, we wouldn't be able to attack the city, so you can be regarded as a meritorious person." ”

Seeing the grievance and helplessness on Li Yue's face, Yuan Fang spread his hands and said, "What? Are you still going to take your cavalry to the siege? Unless your horses can jump on the walls. ”

Li Yue retorted: "The soldiers of our lone wolf legion dismounted are also qualified infantrymen. ”

At this time, Yuqing pointed to the firelight in the city and said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, you see, Luo Siping and they have done it." ”

Yuan Fang looked around, although he couldn't really see it through the high city wall, but the sky-high fire was unobstructed, Yuan Fang said excitedly: "Fourth brother, it's all up to you, come here, inform Qin Yan to set off and attack the south of the city." ”

Yuqing looked at Yuan Fang: "What about us?" Yuan Fang smiled and said, "Of course, it starts now." ”

Yuqing's face was a little ugly: "But, but we have just arrived, and those siege ladders are not ready yet." ”

Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, and then stopped the herald and said, "You will go and inform Qin Yan later." ”

The herald rolled his eyes secretly: "Yes, General." ”

Then he said to Yuqing: "Let's hurry up and prepare, it is estimated that Luo Siping and they will start in a short time, if the city gate is wide open, our people are still far away, then they will be busy in vain." ”

Yuqing knew that what Yuan Fang said was the truth, so she hurriedly asked the officer of the engineering unit, and after thinking about it, she said to Yuan Fang: "Those ladders and platform towers are already being assembled, and they will be ready in about half an hour." ”

Yuan Fang nodded, seeing that the fire in the city was even better, according to the plan, Luo Siping and they would soon go to capture the south gate, so he ordered: "Herald, go and inform Qin Yan to set off, attack the south city as quickly as possible, pay special attention to the city gate, and tell him not to hurt his own people by mistake." ”

The herald took the order and left, and Yuan Fang said to Yuqing again: "It's too late, let's prepare to start attacking the city, it's all a feint anyway, send the archers to attract the attention of the other party first." ”

Yuqing received the order and dispatched the archers to set off in formation, while the remaining infantry also advanced with the siege equipment such as ladders and towers that had been assembled.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and as the officers called and the archers lined up in two horizontal rows, slowly approaching the Pear Blossom City Wall, and each archer was protected by a giant shield bearer in front of him, this preparation can be said to be quite luxurious but very practical. On the city wall, the lieutenant was puzzled, he really couldn't figure out where this enemy army had come from, why his scouts hadn't found out.

At this time, a subordinate general beside him reminded: "Lord Commander, they are ready to attack the city." ”

The county lieutenant put aside the distractions in his heart, carefully observed the army under the city, and then couldn't help frowning, and wondered: "Why are there so many archers?" What are those iron shelves? ”

The general followed the gaze of the county lieutenant, was stunned for a moment, and then guessed: "It should be something like a ladder, general, the other party is pressing up on all fronts, it doesn't look like a tentative attack, are we going to transfer some people from other city walls?" ”

The county lieutenant pondered for a moment and said, "Not for the time being, but you send someone to inform the guards of the southern and northern cities, so that they are ready to send troops to support at any time, and by the way, transfer the reserve team to be on standby." "The general commanded, and ordered the defenders in the other directions to be notified according to the orders of the county commander.

At this moment, there was a great chaos in the south of the city, and the county lieutenant was nervous, and hurriedly ordered the guards around him: "You go and see what happened over there?" Fast. The guards took the order and hurried away.

At this time, the archers under the city were about to enter the firing range, and the county lieutenant raised his hand and said aloud: "Archers prepare, locate the arrows, and release." ”

With the order of the county lieutenant, the archery units of the city defense army shot some arrows wrapped in white cloth, which were not used to kill the enemy, but to measure and position, so that the archers could more clearly understand the range of the bow and arrow, and at the same time, it was also a warning to the enemy.

The arrow fell, stuck in the cold ground, and the white strip of cloth at the end of the arrow fluttered in the wind to form a clear dividing line, which is also the boundary between life and death.

Closer, closer, the vanguard of the Taiji Legion still slowly advanced, the soldiers holding their longbows tightly in their hands, looking at the defenders on the city wall, and whispering to their comrades to determine their respective goals.

Boom, with a muffled sound, the heavy shield hand in the front row of the queue stopped more than thirty meters away from the dividing line, and smashed the giant shield in front of him, forming a shield defense line that was not tight.

After the officers formed a team, they turned to look in the direction of the handsome flag behind them, waiting for the order to attack, and then the defenders on the city wall were surprised to find that the archers and heavy shieldmen in front of the opponent were all female soldiers.

As an old opponent, the Ningyuan Empire will naturally have some understanding of the armaments of the Eastern Saint Empire, and our county lieutenant is naturally no exception, when he saw the armor and combat boots of those female soldiers, he was shocked in his heart, he knew very well that the Eastern Saint Empire had a female army, they were well-equipped and well-trained, they were all iron-blooded veterans who had really killed people on the battlefield, and now they have become the new emperor's royal guards. 7410
