"Humph! A wicked man is his own hell! Ma Shoucheng, you can do it yourself! ”

Li Li glanced at Ma Teng with a cold expression, and threw out a sentence sharply.

Immediately, I saw him control the Golden Lion Beast King and suddenly turn around, facing the tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers under his command, brazenly pulled out his sword, and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order and go to war!" Siege -- "

"Li Lishu, I, Ma Teng, swear to you!" Seeing Li Li suddenly order the siege of the city, Ma Teng's expression changed suddenly, and he roared angrily.

"Kill!"

No matter how angry Ma Teng was, with Li Li's order, Huang Zhong rode his horse to the front of the infantry formation, raised his sword and waved, and five thousand Xiliang infantry soldiers attacked. But when they saw that they were pushing five wells and railings to the moat, and behind the railings there were countless logs and planks, and thousands of soldiers rushed to the side of the moat, pushing the railings into the river, and throwing huge logs into the middle of the railings, and then putting on the heavy and strong planks. In a very short period of time, the moat was cut off at the waist, and the Xiliang infantry stepped on the planks on the river and rushed straight to the city wall.

Ma Teng, who was filled with righteous indignation, watched Li Liyang on the other side of the river walk away with his eyes breathing fire, and at the moment when the Xiliang infantry army launched an attack, he quickly beat his horse and retreated to the city.

At the same time that the city gate closed again after Ma Teng returned to the city, the five thousand Xiliang infantry troops had already rushed across the moat, brandishing weapons, carrying dozens of ladders, and rushing to the city of Jicheng with a majestic and high-spirited shout.

"Catapults and crossbows are arrayed, attacking without difference, and firing continuously for half an hour!" Just as the infantry army was crossing the river, Guo Yan jumped out of the battle and ordered sharply.

Immediately, I saw more than 100 catapults more than three zhang high being pushed to the front of the formation, and more than 300 large crossbows went out at the same time, located 30 steps in front of the catapult. Thousands of baggage soldiers pushed more than 100 two-wheeled carts filled with fire canisters to transport "cannonballs" to the front of the battle, and 2,000 warriors operated catapults and crossbows to prepare for the battle.

"Ready, put!"

The moment the gate of Jicheng was closed, the defenders on the head of the city began to fire arrows in unison, and the Xiliang infantry rushed to the city at this time. At this moment, Guo Yan suddenly waved his arms, and angrily ordered the catapult and crossbow to attack immediately.

Suddenly, I saw the roar of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" flying straight into the air, and hundreds of clay pots containing fire oil and iron filings were thrown into the air by catapults, and went straight to the Jicheng tower and the city roaring away. Meanwhile. The dense crossbow arrows pierced the sky with a "whoosh", overtook the fire pot with lightning speed, and rushed into the air, and the arrows turned sharply and fell obliquely. The defenders who rushed to the top of the city fell.

"Bang bang bang!" Mighty crossbow arrows whistled with the horn of death. Instantly descended on the city.

Pause. Hundreds of soldiers defending the city were immediately nailed to the women's wall, many of the arrow stacks were destroyed by the powerful crossbow arrows, the rubble and sawdust were scattered in all directions, screaming and wailing and dancing with blood, and the city tower suddenly became chaotic.

However, this confusion was only a small part of the local panic at the head of the city, and Ma Teng quickly climbed to the top of the city after entering the city. Personally commanded the soldiers to defend the city. With him sitting at the head of the city, the defenders had to defend the city head-on, shooting arrows to kill the Xiliang infantry under the city, and rolling wood, fire oil and boulders and other defensive utensils were pushed to the city. Give the Xiliang infantry army who forcibly attacked the city a head-on blow, so that they could not climb to the top of the city.

"Boom, boom!"

Crossbow arrows fell, and hundreds of clay pots fell from the sky and suddenly smashed all over the city tower.

Suddenly, the loud sound of "rumbling" on the head of the city came and went, continuously. In the loud bang, the clay pot suddenly exploded, and the sparks and fireballs scattered and splashed with countless iron filings, directly destroying three arrow towers, and the city tower that was more than 200 meters long was in a mess, and broken stones, broken trees and broken arms could be seen everywhere.

In this round of explosions and bombardments of fire tanks, at least hundreds of soldiers were killed, and thousands of soldiers defending the city were burned by oil tanks or stabbed by iron filings. Although most of the wounded soldiers were not fatal and could heal after a few days of rest, they were now incapacitated.

"Kill, kill, kill me! Today, as long as you hold the city and do not let an enemy soldier climb the city, the general will reward you with 10,000 yuan, enough wine and meat, and the women in the city will let you enjoy! ”

At the head of the city, Ma Teng drew his sword, raised his arms and shouted, not sparing gold and silver, wine and meat, and beautiful women to inspire the soldiers defending the city to fight bravely and defend the city.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Huh, huh--"

In front of the Xiliang army under the city, a series of crossbow arrows rose rapidly into the air, like a dense rain of black arrows slanted down, and fell straight to Jicheng. One by one, the flame-roaring clay pots burst through the sky, roaring and smashing into the city, harvesting the lives of the soldiers defending the city.

"Whoosh! Bang--"

"Ahh

The head of Ji County is the place where the long-range attacks of the Xiliang Army are raging, and under the head of the city is the place where the Ma Jiajun is crazy to kill. As countless arrows flew down condescendingly, rolling logs, boulders, and fire oil fell sharply, and the thousands of Xiliang infantry troops besieging the city under the city decreased sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Rolling logs flew head-on, boulders fell on the head, pots of fire oil poured down, ladders were overturned, and arrows came one after another. The 5,000 Xiliang infantry were hit head-on, and one by one, the brave armor soldiers were hit by arrows, rolling logs, or boulders, and were killed instantly; One by one, the warriors who climbed the city were overturned on the ladder or splashed with fire oil, screaming and falling into the air, not dead but also disabled.

Suddenly, under the city of Jixian County, the screams and wails were endless, and the broken bodies and arms were everywhere. Blood mist sprayed on the city walls around the east city gate, and the land within a radius of five hundred meters was dyed dark red, and the sky was full of blood.

Fierce battles are in full swing, and offensive and defensive battles are in full swing.

Every minute and every second, dozens of soldiers on both sides were killed, and the killing was vividly reflected at this moment, bloody and ruthless.

――――――――――――――――

In front of the Xiliang Central Army.

Li Li looked at the siege battle in front of him calmly, without the slightest pity on his face, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuation in his eyes. His eyes did not stay too much on his own soldiers under the city, but more on Ma Teng and tens of thousands of soldiers defending the city at the head of the city. It was only when he turned his gaze to the city gate that his expression changed slightly, and a strong murderous intent crossed his eyes.

Time passed slowly in the killing, and the first wave of attacks of the Xiliang army was gradually coming to an end.

In less than half an hour of siege battle, the Ma family army at the head of the city suffered as many as two or three thousand casualties, and the five thousand Xiliangbu troops under the city were almost completely lost. Only the hundreds of soldiers at the city gate were still slamming into the city gate with all their might.

The catapults and crossbows in front of the Xiliang army's formation, the first few waves of attacks were extremely lethal to the Ma Jiajun, but then the attack power was limited and had little effect. After a few rounds of fire pots and crossbow arrows, the defenders at the head of the city gradually found a way to dodge the attack, and quickly dodged when they heard the whistling overhead. After several attempts, they repeatedly dodged the attacks of earthen pots and crossbow arrows, and fiercely killed the enemy soldiers besieging the city, and firmly held the city.

"My lord, the moat at the east gate has been filled. Our army can storm the city in a big way! Just as the first wave of the Xiliang infantry army failed in attack, Jia Xu rode his horse to Li Li's side and reported respectfully.

Li Li bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and immediately ordered sharply: "The catapults and crossbow formations are all advanced to the riverbank, and all siege equipment does not need to be kept. Bombard the city with all the rage! Huang Zhong and Guo Yan listened to the order, and the infantry army was in front. The city cart and the well fence then pressed up. Storm the gates. The Blue Dragon Battalion is ready to enter the city and seize the city at any time! Siege -- ! ”

As Li Li ordered the siege of the city again, Huang Zhong, who was in the prime of life, took the lead and personally led 10,000 infantry troops to cross the moat and rush straight to the city. The remaining 50 catapults and more than 100 crossbows in the rear of the army were all pushed to the east bank of the moat. Under the cover of the giant shield soldiers, more than 200 catapults and 400 crossbows roared again, and fire pots and crossbow arrows flew overwhelmingly towards the city.

At the same time, General Guo Yan and Pang Deer led 20,000 Qinglong battalion cavalry to stand neatly by the moat. Fierce soldiers, eager to try, ready to give Jicheng a thunderous blow at any time. Once the infantry army crashed open the east city gate, the Qinglong battalion cavalry would rush into Jicheng as soon as possible, seize the city gate, and capture Jicheng and destroy the Ma family's army.

"Boom, boom!"

"Kill!"

Pushed hard by hundreds of soldiers, the heavy rushing carts ran over the planks on the moat and rushed to the city gates. Under the city, Huang Zhong turned over and dismounted, and personally led thousands of infantry troops to push the giant trees that were ten zhang long and hit the city gate. The remaining 8,000 or so infantry troops, under the cover of shield soldiers, set up ladders, pushed the well railing, stepped on the corpses of fallen soldiers and rushed to the city, and once again stormed the city.

"Boom, boom!"

The crossbow arrows with huge lethality once again descended on the head of Jixian County, and hundreds of "fire bombs" burst unscrupulously, causing the defenders on the city tower to be confused again. This time, the number of crossbow arrows and fire canisters far exceeded the previous bombardment range, and the lethality also doubled sharply, beating the already dilapidated city to a thousand holes, making many Ma Jiajun soldiers have no place to stand at all, and it is becoming more and more difficult to defend the city.

"Bang--!"

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the entire city tower trembled, prompting Ma Teng, who was standing in the middle of the city tower, to shake and almost hit the female wall. After holding the head of the city and standing firm, Ma Teng's expression changed sharply, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Oh no, the enemy is ramming the city gate with all their might!" Leaning over to look at the huge rushing car under the city, Ma Teng was anxious and exclaimed. At this time, he had the heart to personally lead the troops to defend the city gate, but he was worried that the Xiliang soldiers would attack the city, and what made him feel helpless was that there were no generals around him, and he himself lacked skills and could not take care of both.

"The pro-guards obeyed the order, immediately went down to the city to block the city gate, and the enemy must not be allowed to break through the city gate!" In desperation, Ma Teng had no choice but to send his own team of 1,000 personal soldiers to guard the city gate. At the moment, he did not trust any of the generals under his command, and he was afraid that these people would be deceived by Li Li's words of persuasion and would not do their best to defend the city. Therefore, at this time of crisis, the only person he can trust is the pro-soldier team who has been with him all year round.

"Bang-boom!"

"Squeak!"

"It's broken!" As soon as the front foot of the pro-soldier team left, Ma Teng keenly heard a crisp cracking sound of the city gate. Suddenly, he exclaimed with a pale face, and his body fell slanted by the city wall, his eyes dejected and confused.

"Bang--boom!"

With another crash, the East Gate collapsed. For a moment, the defenders at the head of the city were stunned, because they all heard the sound of the city gate breaking and collapsing, and they saw tens of thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen rushing towards the city gate at a gallop.

In less than an hour of fierce fighting, Jicheng was broken by Li Li's army! ―――――― (To be continued)(To be continued......
