Li Tong's arrow showed his attitude, and Wang Yu did not delay on his side, and directly urged the army to roll forward, and there was a second pause until three hundred paces away, but this time it was not to adjust the formation or persuade to surrender again, but to attack directly.

Like the morning light of the morning sun, the ballista shot crossbow arrows effortlessly climbed up to the head of Fengqiu City, and the sound of the crossbow arrows whistling down was extremely terrible, suppressing the hoarse orders of the generals at the head of the city to a faint sound.

The sluggish defenders jumped to their feet like a flock of frightened birds, stumbling towards the blue-brown battlements, and their nine-foot-long crossbows smashed into the city, smashing stone chips and smashing into a monstrous wave of blood!

Those blue-brown battlements quickly turned red, steaming white, solidifying, frozen, and bright and picturesque in the sun.

"Woo...... Whining...... Whining! The terrible sound of the horn resounded through the field. The morning mist that swirled between the fields and the treetops in the distance was immediately dispersed by the sound of horns, and large beams of sunlight shot down through the cracks in the clouds, accompanied by feathered arrows.

"Woo...... Whining...... Whining! The power of the crossbow salvo made even the Qingzhou soldiers themselves startled, and they couldn't make noise at will because of the military regulations, but it didn't prevent the trumpeters from pinning their agitated emotions on the horn. Under the blue sky, there are constantly horn sounds echoing each other, like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, like a wind piercing the wall.

The auxiliaries shouted their trumpets and pushed the carts as fast as they could, and more than a hundred ballistae lined up in multiple horizontal formations, passing over the array of ballistae that had been fired in turns, like clouds covering the sky before the rainstorm, pressing towards Fengqiu City.

"The matter has come to this, everyone has no way out, let's fight, killing one is enough, killing two is earning!" Li Tong rubbed his red eyes hatefully and yelled.

This battle is lost, let alone fifteen days, it can be regarded as a miracle to be able to hold on to today. But now that the choice has been made, it can only be persevered to the end.

If the Qingzhou Army organized such a huge attack, the manpower and material resources needed to be mobilized were also very great, if they miraculously held on for three days, and Cao Gong came in time to reinforce them, maybe this battle would become a turning point in the war!

The strong side was under the fortified city, unable to conquer it for a long time, and finally the army was exhausted and old, and was broken by the reinforcements from the other side. Throughout the ages, there have been too many such examples, and the strategy adopted by Cao Gong is to procrastinate, but there is no such expectation in his heart, and he is waiting for such an opportunity.

"Nancheng, Nancheng is there a reward?" Li Tong asked loudly.

Fengqiu City can carry out a large army attack only the southeast two city gates, although the east gate of the offensive is huge, but do not rule out the possibility of striking the east and west, after all, Qingzhou has many soldiers and horses, abundant material resources, and it is more than enough to carry out the offensive on both sides at the same time.

What's more, judging from his experience, although the Qingzhou army on the side of Dongcheng is well-equipped, the number of ladders necessary for siege is too small, unless there are dozens of rushing cars hidden in those turrets, otherwise this huge offensive will not be able to pose much threat to the city wall.

"Nothing happens in the South City! Only a thousand cavalry marched! Li Xu almost fell into his father's ear and shouted. The shouts of killing from the city to the city grew louder and louder, and the two of them had to get close to each other. But in doing so, it is extremely easy to be targeted by the strong crossbows under the city.

Sure enough, as soon as he turned his body sideways, an iron feather crossbow arrow more than eight feet long roared into the pillar of the city tower, grazing the ears of the two and flying over, and rubbing Li Tong's right face into a bloody cut.

"Protect the General!" Li Tong's personal soldiers are all old members of the family, and they are all loyal people, and when they saw that the lord was in danger, they all threw themselves on the fit of forgetting their lives and death, and threw the lord directly behind the female wall.

Immediately after, three iron-feathered crossbows roared and flew in, shooting through the two soldiers who had no time to dodge. "Smack!" Sparks flew, bricks flew wildly, and thick crossbow bolts pierced through the walls, nailing them to the center of the tower.

The soldier who was shot with a transparent hole in his stomach screamed and tried his best to cover the hole with his fingers, but he watched his blood shoot out like a fountain, staining the carved beams of the castle tower full of auspicious patterns.

"Raise the shield, go up the battlement, hold the shield up the battlement!" Pushing away the guards pressing on his body, Li Tong shouted frantically.

The crossbow arrows just now were by no means indiscriminate shots without a target, but a deliberate accumulation of shots after discovering that his father and son were approaching, and their power and accuracy were better than before. To be able to fire such an accurate and swift chain of attacks is a sign that the enemy's ballista is moving forward!

Lee, who had been in battle for a long time, told him what that meant.

The suppression of the crossbow bolt suppression is coming to an end, and the enemy army will soon be in the city. Arrows are very expensive, and the effect of long-range suppression is enough, if you don't take advantage of the situation to launch a full-scale offensive, when will it be? He knew that he couldn't hold the sealed hill, but he was unwilling to bow his head and wait for death. With a loud roar, he drove all the soldiers who were hiding in the castle tower to avoid the arrows and drove them up to the city wall.

Li Tong had experienced countless battles before he surrendered to Cao, led the army to exterminate the Yellow Turbans, Liukou, and the powerful in places with similar identities, and even fought against Yuan Shu and other princes in order to keep his own territory, but this time his judgment was wrong.

After the Qingzhou army achieved an overwhelming advantage in the long-range troops, it did not urge the army to step forward and attach the ants to the city, but launched a new round of long-range attacks, this time the protagonists were the thousands of crossbowmen!

"Stand still!" After the front platoon of soldiers advanced to within fifty paces of the city wall, Yu Ban gave a loud order. Immediately, the guards beside him blew their horns, and the orders of the leaders reached the ears of every soldier.

"Woo...... Whining...... Woooooooooooooooo The Qingzhou army announced the start of the second round of attacks with a poignant rhythm.

The carriage stopped neatly in place, looking down from the top of the city, it looked like a huge tortoiseshell. There were still a few gaps between the tortoiseshells, but there were hundreds of shieldmen to make up for it, and they ran out of the back of the cart quickly, poking the huge wooden shield into the dirt beneath their feet, and then crouched down and hooked the handle behind the shield with their arms.

A strong fortress was built on the battlefield in an instant, and behind the wall, thousands of archers raised their bows at the same time.

"Archer, three rounds!" Tai Shici's order turned into a horn sound.

The archers who heard the command quickly loosened their bowstrings. Feathered arrows were like flying locusts, breaking through the smoke and smashing into the city with the sound of the wind. The feather arrows tore through the smoke and dust, causing the defenses on the city wall to clange, most of which were blocked by the opponent's shield wall, and a small number of them drilled through the gaps in the shields to kill the enemy troops behind. There are also a few that fall halfway and smash on the surface of the city wall, shattering the blood ice that has just condensed, revealing the original face of the city bricks.

"Crossbowman, attack the city, salvo!"

With the sound of the horn of death, the powerful crossbows in the ranks of the archers showed their heads behind the shield array, and also began to exert their might, and the stormy arrow array roared through the space of dozens of paces, shattering the shields and smashing the defenders' formations to pieces.

The command of the "archer......" Yu Ban was not outstanding, but the rhythm and organization of the attack were impeccable.

The second round of feathered arrows caught up in time to make up for the gap created by the strong crossbow, and the archers followed the crossbow carts...... The screams on the city wall were endless, and the shouts under the city wall shook the sky, without any emotion.

"Raise a wall of shields, build a wall of shields, lift the archers up, lift the archers up!" At the head of the city, Li Tong's orders were as cold as ice, and his voice was cold to the bone.

The soldiers, under the persecution of the commander, had to crouch behind the battlements, straighten their shields, and then resist them with their bodies. Several marquis ran from behind the shield wall, kicking the surviving archers and forcing them to fight back.

Li Tong didn't know how long the enemy's massive attack would last and how long it would last, but it was impossible for him to keep shrinking his head and being beaten, and he had to take certain countermeasures, otherwise Fengqiu would not be able to hold it for even half a day.

Under the cover of the city tower, he ventured to look at the city a few times, and sure enough, as he expected, the purpose of these rounds of stormy long-range attacks was to cover the advance of the rows, and the front row of rows was only a dozen steps away from the city wall. If you continue to hide from the arrows, wait for the enemy to reach the top of the castle and start the slaughter.

"Bang! Boom! The sound of the ladder on the top of the city was so thrilling, under the double stimulation of the main general and the enemy's arrival on the city, the defenders howled and stood up, the archers raised their bows and fired indiscriminately, and the others either carried torches and rushed to the ladder with boiling oil, or two or three people in a group lifted the rolling wood and stones placed at the head of the city.

The torch was quickly dropped, and the red serpent flew on the ladder, turning into a flaming dragon that could not be climbed. Enraged, the besiegers threw arrows at the city, raining down on the battlements, causing pinks of dust and smoke.

The fierce battle was even hotter, but Li Tong's heart was cold.

The defenders' desperate counterattack seemed to be fruitful, turning all the ladders that had taken up the city to ashes, and repelling the first wave of the Qingzhou army's attempt to ascend the city. But the ladder was destroyed, but the Qingzhou army did not suffer many casualties, because no one climbed the ladder just now, and this round of counterattack in the rain of arrows only burned more than ten ladders!

What the hell is the Qingzhou Army doing under the city wall? What is their intention in delaying the launch of a full-scale offensive? Is Wang Yu sparing his soldiers and refusing to pay for military losses? Or was he just bluffing, trying to attract Cao Gong to lead the main army to save Fengqiu?

Li Tong's mind was chaotic, and he couldn't figure out what the other party was planning.

Qingzhou's siege equipment is indeed very strong, and the crossbowmen are even more powerful, but after all, there are city defenses to rely on on their side, and no matter how big the casualties are, they will not be directly killed by long-range attacks. If the Qingzhou army wants to go down to the city, they always have to go to the city for hand-to-hand combat.

If he was facing someone else, Li Tong felt that his two guesses were likely to come true, there are always many stupid people in the world who like to show off their cleverness, but how could a hussar general who won a hundred battles be a fool?

There must be a reason why he did this! If this reason cannot be found out as soon as possible, the fate of Fengqiu City may be ......

"Come on, let's see, what is the Qingzhou Army under the city doing?" He picked out ten dead soldiers from his own soldiers and ordered them to observe the movements of the enemy forces under the city.

"Whoa!" The loyalty of the private soldier is indeed very high, knowing that it is a task of nine deaths and one life, but he still responds without changing his face, risking his waist to get close to the wall, seeing the opportunity, and quickly poking his head out.

In an airtight long-range strike, the risk of doing so is quite high, and even if the dead soldiers get up for a short time every time, and almost as soon as their heads poke out, they start to retract, they still can't escape the blow of the rain of arrows.

Only two of the ten dead men returned, and the information they brought back was a little vague: "There are several sheds under the city that have been erected with shields, and there are people moving below, but it is impossible to see what they are doing. ”

"Shed?" Li Tong's heart tightened, and he asked urgently: "Where are those sheds located?" ”

"I remember it......" The dead man with feather arrows on his back pointed out several locations with great dedication, his voice became weaker and weaker, and after saying the last place, the whole person had fallen down, with less air in and more breath, and he was not alive at the moment.

"Someone!" Li Tong's heart ached, but he couldn't care about much, so he desperately gathered people and organized a counterattack.

"Father, what's the mystery of that shed?"

"I don't know." Li Tong shook his head, his face turned pale, "In short, it won't be a good way, break him first!" ”

Rolling logs and gravel fell, and oil and torches were also dumped, but the city did not react at all, only a loud 'bang' in response.

Li Tong became more and more anxious, the shed was obviously specially reinforced, and there may be fire prevention measures, so well prepared, it was needless to say that the important surname was naturally important, but he couldn't even be sure of what he was about to face, so it was strange if he wasn't anxious!

In the middle of his irritability, the lookout on the tower of the city suddenly let out a cheer: "Retreat, retreat!" The Qingzhou Army has retreated! ”

Li Tong was stunned for a moment, and looked at the city, that's right, the foot soldiers under the city wall were running towards the tortoiseshell array in groups, and the crossbowmen behind the tortoiseshell array no longer fired, and the array of the ballista was even more scattered to both sides, while retreating backwards, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the strength of the rear is not enough, and the appearance of retreating troops, more precisely, they seem to be avoiding the city wall?

What do you do hiding from the walls? Li Tong was taken aback by this thought that suddenly came out of his mind, and suddenly remembered a past incident, it is said that the little heavenly master of the Yellow Turban who called for wind and rain in Hedong and destroyed Xiongcheng with a snap of his fingers was Wang Yu himself, he did seven days and seven nights of ritual under the city of Yuncheng, and then with a wave of his hand, Yuncheng fell apart.

Could it be that he is going to do it again? Back then, it took seven days and seven nights, but now his mana has improved, and one hour or three moments is enough?

Letting these unreliable thoughts rush back and forth in his mind, Li Tong didn't know how to deal with it for a while, thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't do anything, what else could he do except wait?

Fortunately, he didn't suffer for long, just when the lookout found that the Qingzhou army was retreating, the cheers on the city had just resounded, and a sudden loud noise occupied the entire wilderness!

"Boom!" Ten thousand thunders roared, and the earth shook the mountains!

Li Tong only felt that his body shook suddenly, and then his feet were light, and the whole person was thrown into the air, along with countless ruins and broken walls, along with countless loyal and brave soldiers, in the sudden upheaval let out a desperate wail.

On the twenty-eighth day of the second year of Kaiyuan, the hussars besieged Fengqiu City on a large scale, and half-said, the city was broken, the world was shaken, and the world was in an uproar!
