The wind and sand in Longyou became bigger and bigger, and it was all over the sky, so that the enemy soldiers approached the city of Longyou for ten miles, and the Qin army sentry on the city wall found the other party's figure.

As Wang Li expected, on the third day of Han Xin's army entering Longyou City, he finally ushered in hundreds of thousands of murderous enemy troops.

Han Xin stood on the city wall, carefully examining the enemies from the Byzantine Empire in the far west.

In the first row were heavy cavalry, these people rode tall horses, and even men and horses were wrapped in thick and heavy plate armor, and the large iron spears in their hands were forwarded at seventy-five degrees, reflecting sharp light.

Behind the cavalry, there was a huge phalanx of infantry, including light infantry wearing light armor with a round shield in one hand and a scimitar in the other, and heavy infantry wearing heavy armor and holding broadswords in both hands.

The infantry was flanked by steel chariots armed with long-range weapons such as the Great Qin Bed Crossbow.

What is remarkable is that in the air above the head of the army, hundreds of mysterious people in robes floated, and the dossier left by Wang Li called them "magicians".

Wang Li took almost everything useful, but left behind a lot of files containing information about the enemy's army.

When the soldiers found the dogs, Han Xin almost swallowed them and swept through all the files.

The "magician" who can use the Five Elements Technique to attack the city wall and hurt people, the large plate armor that is difficult to pierce with ordinary knives and guns, and the fighting spirit similar to True Qi, which can release hurting people, are all clearly recorded in the dossier left by Wang Li.

Even as for the origin of the enemy's army, there is a brief mention above, thousands of miles away, in the far west, the Byzantine Empire, which worships the gods.

It is precisely because of these files that Han Xin has a little bit of confidence in his heart about the Byzantine army he will face next, and even makes some preparations for it.

These preparations did not necessarily help Han Xin defeat the Byzantine army, but at least reduced the casualties of the Qin army.

Although Wang Li's actions were beneficial to him, it was difficult for Han Xin to have a good impression of him.

In Han Xin's opinion, Wang Li did this more under the idea of allowing him to hold on a little longer.

In the face of the sudden appearance of the enemy, Han Xin did not panic and ordered his soldiers to prepare for the enemy siege.

The trebuchet was ready to go, and each bed crossbow was loaded with nine large arrows two meters long, the sharp tips of which shimmered with cold light.

The huge log, which has been lifted by ropes, can be cut down and crushed into meatloaf.

A sharp weapon like fire oil to defend the city is a jar there, which may be thrown out at any time and turn into a sea of fire.

These things were all carried by Han Xin with a large army, thousands of miles away, all the way from the southwest.

This combat habit was developed in Lin Ze's hands, and he has always been cautious, no matter where he goes with the army, he must carry a large amount of ordnance, grain and grass with the army in order to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

Of course, the army can do this, and it is inseparable from Han Xin's tireless and strict training of the army.

"Woo~~"

There was no communication between the two armies, and with a trumpet, the Byzantine army went on the attack.

Of course, it may also be because of the language barrier between the two sides, and even in the eyes of the Byzantine army commander, he did not know that the enemy in front of him had changed.

The trumpets sounded, and the first to attack were the group of magicians in mid-air, one by one, approaching the walls and chanting incantations.

Han Xin, who had been reminded by Wang Li's message, knew that he would never be able to let the other party finish reciting the spell smoothly, so he immediately ordered: "All bed crossbows, shoot at the group of people in mid-air." ”

Nearly a thousand large arrows shrouded towards hundreds of magicians.

For a while, half of the magicians' spells changed, and countless air shields suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the mage's legion.

After fighting with the Qin army for a long time, they naturally knew that this kind of murderous weapon could not be resisted by one person.

Seeing that the big arrow from the bed crossbow was blocked by the other party, Han Xin's face remained unchanged, and he ordered the six-rank martial artist to entangle with him in the air.

Wang Li is right, this magician is indeed a bit of a headache, and it takes a six-rank martial artist to resist it.

After sending out more than twenty six-rank martial artists among the generals, Han Xin began to focus on the attack on the ground.

The siege of the Byzantine army was a little different from what Han Xin had seen before, not the way to arrange for veterans to quickly seize the city wall, but to raise their shields and approach the city wall step by step, as if they really wanted to tear down the city wall.

Although Han Xin didn't understand the other party's intention in doing this, it did not prevent him from ordering trebuchets and crossbows to attack.

Let the shield held by the other party be two inches thick, a boulder fell down, smashing a hole.

Coupled with such a dense formation of the Byzantine army, the Qin army would have to die if a boulder fell down.

Compared to the damage dealt by trebuchets, the results achieved by the crossbow attack were somewhat unsatisfactory.

Most of the arrows failed to penetrate the thick plate armor of the Byzantine army, and only a few passed through the gaps to inflict casualties on them.

A quarter of an hour later, after paying a number of casualties, the Byzantine army finally managed to reach the city walls and launched an attack.

Someone desperately attacked the city gates, trying to break in.

Someone set up a ladder, threw out a hook and lock, put it on the city wall, and climbed up the ladder.

Some of them took off the longbow behind their backs, and under the cover of their shields, they shot arrows in their hands at the Qin army.

Suddenly, the two sides fell into a white-hot offensive and defensive battle, and from time to time people died.

The Byzantine soldiers swooped forward one after another, and under the continuous onslaught, some people gradually climbed the city walls.

At this time, Han Xin did not hesitate, and directly let people drop the oil and light the fire.

It stands to reason that this kind of finale weapon should not be thrown out too early, but this is the first battle, and Han Xin wants to fight beautifully to boost morale.

Suddenly, in front of the west gate of Longyou City, the fire was raging, and hundreds of Byzantine soldiers were surrounded by fire and burned alive, and the offensive weakened a lot for a while.

The Byzantine soldiers on the city walls were quickly slaughtered because they lost the support of their companions.

When the fire was a little smaller, the soldiers pounced even more fiercely under the command of the Byzantine generals.

In the center of the Byzantine army, the commander of the army, Marcian, saw this, and laughed at several generals in front of him: "The other party's time to use fire oil is getting shorter and shorter, and under the attack of the empire, it should be almost unsupportable." ”

One of the generals reacted extremely quickly and shouted, "Congratulations to Marshal Marcian, who is about to defeat a strong enemy and add another province to the empire." ”

Marcian just smiled and ordered, "Order the Grand Knights to attack, and be sure to take this fortified city today." ”

Marcian's orders were quickly pierced layer by layer, and the cavalry on the left side of the army immediately launched a charge against Longyou City.

The abnormal movement of the Byzantine army was naturally seen by Han Xin, but he was a little suspicious of life now, using cavalry to attack the city, is the enemy's commander a fool?

Soon Han Xin sensed that something was wrong, the momentum of this cavalry didn't seem to be so simple.

Just as Han Xin was thinking about how to respond, a figure in the sky flew at a rapid speed and finally landed on the city wall.

Han Xin's face suddenly showed a look of joy, and he bowed to the person who came and said, "The last general will meet Hou Ye, Hou Ye, you are finally here." ”

"No need to be polite," Lin Ze waved his hand disapprovingly, looked at the Byzantine army and asked, "This is the enemy we are going to face?"
