On the eighth day, seeing Zhang Lang's Jiangdong army, although the pace was slow, it could be clearly seen that they were approaching Jiqiu, although it was not yet within the range of bows and arrows to attack. But it also made him a little more worried.

On the one hand, he was afraid that Zhang Lang would attack Jiqiu, and on the other hand, Zhang Lang sent the smart people in the Eagle Guard to follow Huang Chengyan to learn the art of cracking the mechanism.

Because of the large area arranged, it is not surprising that there are many traps that are repeated. This is convenient for those who have just learned a little bit of the Eagle Guard's hands.

The ninth day, early in the morning.

As soon as Lu Ying arrived, he came to the top of the city tower and observed the every move of Zhang Lang's army. What made Lu Ying strange was that not only Huang Chengyan was not leading those eagle guards to unlock the trap at the edge of the trap range today.

Instead, he saw a wooden cart lined up at the edge of the trap range a hundred meters away. Due to the fact that the distance was still a little far, Lu Ying mistakenly used the crossbow car as the car used by Zhang Lang to attack the city. Lu Ying suddenly felt strange, and said to himself: "Could it be that Zhang Lang really plans to attack Jiqiu?" ”

Lu Ying began to cheer Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, and said in her heart: "Isn't it rumored that Zhang Lang loves soldiers like sons?" How could you do something so impulsive? Thinking of this, Lu Ying suddenly frowned: "Zhang Lang is good at using strange soldiers, is he going to make a surprise attack to capture Jiqiu?" But after thinking about it, he denied his own idea.

That is, the traps around the mound were all laid by themselves, and the nets were almost spread in the sky. That's a net. But this is obviously unrealistic. "Are you going to use a bow and arrow?" At a distance of 100 meters, although the bow and arrow may be attacked, but people can't get through, how can the cockroaches attack the city? Lu Ying constantly filtered all the methods that Zhang Lang might use in her mind. One by one, they were denied by themselves. Thinking about it. I only heard that a hundred meters away, a team of men and horses had been assembled, and the person leading the troops was the young general who made a single sword.

Huang Xu pulled out the pear flower knife on his waist, pointed at Jiqiu Chenglou and shouted: "Lu Ying, my lord is merciful, cherish your talent, and hope to accept it." Otherwise, our army will attack the hill with a large army. ”

Lu Ying looked at the young general in the distance, and said in his heart: "Does Zhang Lang really plan to sacrifice to attack Jiqiu?" After quickly and simply calculating the troops, the number of people who can participate in the battle is about 50,000, Zhang Lang is attacking the city this time, not to mention that they can't pass the dense trap range on the periphery, even if they can come over, with the high walls of Jiqiu City. The 50,000 troops in his hands may not be able to hold the city. At this moment, Lu Ying only wanted Cao Ying to send reinforcements as soon as possible. But it's a pity that Cao Ying's army can't even cross the Yellow River now, so how can we talk about reinforcements?

With a beautiful vision that Cao Ying would send reinforcements to support, Lu Ying's heart was horizontal, and he looked at the deputy general beside him: "General Liu, immediately gather the army and stick to Jiqiu." Zhang Lang must not be allowed to attack. Gather soldiers and place arrows on top of the city tower to block the Jiangdong army. ”

After receiving the order, he immediately gathered all the soldiers to prepare for battle, and the archers were all in all corners of the city tower, ready to block Zhang Lang's Jiangdong army.

After not responding for a long time, after Huang Xu sent someone back to Zhang Lang, he began to persuade Lu Ying again, but unfortunately Lu Ying naively thought that he could resist the strong attack of the Jiangdong army.

Pulling out the matching sword at his waist, he said mightily: "Prepare, as soon as the Jiangdong Army approaches, it will be killed!" ”

For a while, a lot of human heads appeared on the city wall of Qiu, and Huang Xu was completely dead, it seemed that Lu Ying wanted to fight to the end with the Jiangdong army.

After a while, the soldier followed Zhang Lang and the others back to the place where Huang Xu arranged a strong crossbow to attack the city.

At the behest of Zhang Lang, Huang Xu ordered the whole army to retreat, and after withdrawing from the range of Cao's arrows, Huang Xu also persuaded Lu Ying for the last time.

"General Zhang, you don't have to say much. As long as you survive today, I will win, and you will not break your word when the time comes. Lu Ying shouted at the enemy camp.

After saying that, he ordered: "Today is a battle, all brothers must hold the hill, as long as it is over, our army will win." No matter who gets close to Jiqiu, they will be killed! ”

The order was constantly conveyed from the castle tower of Jiqiu, and the strong ballista of the Jiangdong Army was also ready. Just wait for Zhang Lang to give an order, and in an instant, Jiqiu's blood will flow into a river.

Everyone focused on Zhang Lang, and Zhang Lang's mood is much calmer than just now, not to mention that Lu Ying is still one of his relatives, but in terms of his ability, Zhang Lang can't bear to kill him. But now there is no other way, Zhang Lang has always been true to his word. The 300,000 army was dispatched just to take the entire Qingzhou, how could he ruin his entire plan for one Lu Ying?

After thinking about it, Zhang Lang stepped off the horse and looked at Jiqiu City, with extremely complicated feelings in his eyes, firstly, because he didn't know how many people would die in this battle, and secondly, because a person like Lu Ying was about to die here.

Although Lu Ying was on top of the city tower, Zhang Lang's army had retreated two hundred meters away, and archers with good arm strength might not be able to shoot at this distance, let alone ordinary soldiers. Therefore, none of the soldiers on the tower of Qiu Cheng radiated the arrows in their hands, but quietly waited for Zhang Lang's Jiangdong army to approach.

It was already a scorching summer, but suddenly a cool breeze blew, if it was in normal times, in such weather, a cool breeze would blow up, it should make people feel refreshed, but at this time, Lu Ying and his subordinates felt cold.

And the Jiangdong soldiers seemed to be also moved by Lu Ying's troops, and they were excited in their hearts. Zhang Lang stood alone in place, did not speak, and did not make any movements.

Guo Jia looked at the sky, it was almost ten o'clock at dusk, the sun had begun to slowly slide west from the sky, jumped off the horse, and walked to Zhang Lang's side: "Lord, it's not too early." If you don't do it yet. I'm afraid I'm missing the hour. Of course, Guo Jia knew what Zhang Lang was thinking, so he didn't mention Lu Ying, but hit the nail on the head. Although Guo Jia's words were not finished, not only Zhang Lang, but as long as they heard Guo Jia's words, they probably knew what his words meant.

After Zhang Lang took a deep breath, he let out a long sigh, and suddenly, Zhang Lang closed his eyes slightly, and said coldly a word, which all the soldiers in Jiangdong had been looking forward to for a long time: "Kill!" ”

"Whoosh ......" accompanied by the continuous swishing sound, the arrows on the crossbow cart burst into the air, and quickly shot out towards the hill.

The sound of hitting hard objects, screams, and the sound of overhead arrows falling on buildings. After the first wave of attacks, more than half of the soldiers that Lu Ying arranged on the city tower were lost.
