Three peculiar feather arrows were shot in the barracks of the Northern Wei army in the south, and when they flew into the sky, they seemed to be indistinguishable from ordinary feather arrows, but when they reached the high place, they exploded with a bang, spitting out countless scarlet flames.

On the water outside the north wall, a Northern Wei general wearing a round hat raised his head and looked at the beautiful flames spreading out in the sky, and the corner of his right eye unconsciously jumped slightly.

On the opposite land, reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty arrived, and among them were cultivators of the Divine Thought Realm.

This was a bad omen for him.

It's just that now that it has been launched, what he needs to do now is to continue to fill in all the Northern Wei soldiers here, even if he can't directly punch a gap in the north wall near the water, at least the Southern Dynasty troops in the city can't destroy the pontoon bridge leading from Huaishui on the north side to this Zhongli City.

The battle formations he had experienced in the past had allowed him to coldly carry out the military orders above and pile up these fresh lives as dead objects like wood and stone, but as before, his heart could be indifferent and numb, and his face could be indifferent, but the flesh and blood in the corner of his right eye would still twitch and beat unconsciously.

He remained silent, and no new military orders were issued.

More water sounds sounded on the dark river.

Some of the larger ships appeared with the sound of the water.

The ships were slow, and the sergeants on board could not even make them walk in a straight line on the water.

There was no powerful naval army in the entire Northern Wei Dynasty, and the subordinates of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying could be said to have no naval army at all.

The generals of the Southern Dynasty on the north wall looked at these ships that were crooked on the water, but none of them felt ridiculous.

They thoroughly comprehended each other's strategic intentions.

Without a powerful naval army, they would not have fought with the naval army of the Southern Dynasties at all, and they would have turned all the waterways into land routes.

Most of these ships should be civilian ships and merchant ships scraped along the way, and their use is no different from ordinary driftwood when they come over, but with the addition of these ships, it will be more convenient for these Northern Wei troops to access the north wall.

This Wei army did have an amazing ability to build roads and bridges, slowly approaching ships, floating giant logs, ordinary door panels, and even some sheepskin rafts, bamboo rafts, all kinds of floating bits and pieces, all of which were pulled and tied together by these people, and there was a huge splash of water, and those ships were piled with thick ropes and heavy objects, constantly smashing into the water like heavy anchors, fixing these floating things on the water.

Even some carts and horses began to appear, dragging large quantities of reeds and hay and other materials to fill in.

As the road on the water became larger and larger, the Wei army, which seemed to be on the verge of exhaustion, even gave up shooting at the city wall, and did not fight back but paved the road on the water more completely.

From time to time, Northern Wei sergeants were hit by arrows and heavy objects and fell to the ground screaming, but their positions were quickly filled by the successors of the Northern Wei sergeants.

The bodies that fell into the water and could not be picked up in time quickly disappeared beneath the bloody water, as if they had never appeared.

As more Northern Wei soldiers advanced towards the city walls from the continent in the center of the river, they saw more and more targets to shoot, but in the face of opponents who did not fight back at all and let them kill, it was easier for people to feel tired and powerless.

"If you can, let them all rest for a while. ”

A voice sounded behind Wang Chaozong, "It should not take more than half an hour at most, and this Wei army will attack the city with all its might." ”

It was an extremely unfamiliar voice, but it was extremely calm in such a battle formation, and even had an unquestionable flavor.

Wang Chaozong turned around and saw the figures of Li Wenzhao and Qi Zhuji and others.

On the way to the north wall, Qi Zhuji had already heard Li Wenzhao talk about the "rebellion" that had occurred in the city before he and Xiao Suxin and others arrived.

He looked at Wang Chaozong, who was not a few years older than himself and Lin Yi, and looked at the other party's young and iron-blooded face, and suddenly had great respect in his heart.

There was no superfluous greeting, Li Wenzhao said a few words to Wang Chaozong quickly, and Wang Chaozong and Qi Zhuji and others saluted calmly.

"Why do you think they're going to attack soon, especially when the enemy to the south has already retreated. Wang Chaozong didn't have any extra words, and looked directly at Qi Zhuji and asked.

"Because they're getting ready to climb the ladder. ”

Qi Zhuji nodded to the continent not far away, and said very simply: "I don't understand their intentions, but if it weren't for the imminent attack, they wouldn't have allocated so many people to prepare the ladder at such a time." ”

Following the direction that Qi Zhuji pointed, Wang Chaozong's eyes lit up, and then a strange feeling appeared in his heart.

It is true that there are quite a few enemy troops rushing around some of the parts of the ladder, and they seem to be very anxious, but this young general of the Tie Ce Army has only noticed this point that he has overlooked, which shows that the other party is not only absolutely calm, but also extremely meticulous and thoughtful.

"It's useless to think too much. ”

Qi Zhuji easily saw through the thoughts of several generals on Wang Chaozong's side, and he laughed self-deprecatingly, "Most of Yuan Ying's troops can't come soon, so it shouldn't be most of him who came from the north bank, but if the seven thousand Wei troops can only be regarded as the vanguard army, the Wei army from the north bank is at least in the tens of thousands, and since the other party has decided to attack at this time, the Wei army from the north bank is very likely to arrive tomorrow." But no matter who this army is on the north shore, if we can't survive tonight, there's no need to be afraid. ”

Wang Chaozong also smiled self-deprecatingly.

The reason why he dared to launch such a "rebellion" and directly execute the generals in the city who were above him was that he felt that there was not much to think about in the future.

He nodded, and stretched out his palm to give the order.

All the archers stopped firing.

Soon after the sound of the arrows died down, a desolate song sounded from the water.

The singing was getting louder and louder, and all the Wei people on the river island were singing loudly.

In the midst of the song, many people began to shout loudly.

The neat shouts are like the trumpets of the ploughing, full of enthusiasm, one after another.

Qi Zhuji took a deep breath.

His complexion did not change, but his hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly.

He was nervous.

Snort.

An arrow shot out of the water, just rang out and shot into the sky.

Chaotic but thunderous footsteps rang out.

In the night, many Northern Wei soldiers wearing soft armor and holding swords and shields rushed up the unstable pontoon bridge like ants and rushed towards the city wall.

In the center of them, many of the ladders that had been prepared were carried directly by some strong sergeants, and they were constantly shaking with a cry of harmony, but they were approaching the city wall very quickly.

"Put!"

Almost at the same time, a mournful shouting rang out from both sides at the same time.

With a buzz, the sound of countless bowstrings sounded simultaneously on the city and on the water, followed by two heart-pounding whistling sounds staggered through the air.

In the night, two rains of arrows converged in the air, crossed, separated, and fell.

Puff puff...

A crowd fell on the pontoon bridge in an instant.

And on the north wall, one person fell among every few Southern Dynasty sergeants.

Angry whistling sounded on the walls and on the water at the same time.

Those Northern Wei archers shot the few feathered arrows into the sky above the north wall at the fastest speed, and then began to charge with the infantry armed with swords and shields.

Ladders rose from the shaky pontoon bridge and led to the city walls.

And behind these ladders, some Northern Wei soldiers carrying long bamboos also braved the rain of arrows falling from the city wall, and leaned the long bamboo against the city wall without fear of death.

Those Northern Wei soldiers who began to climb were as swaying and fragile as bottles hanging on ropes, but life seemed to be the least valuable thing at this time, with the sound of flesh and blood hitting the ground and falling into the water, just between more than ten breaths, there were already Northern Wei soldiers crawling up with arrows and slashing.

Qi Zhuji always stood motionless at the forefront of the city wall.

In front of him, the figure of a Northern Wei sergeant appeared, pressing his hands on the edge of the city wall, and then he jumped up, drew his sword with his backhand, and the sword light fell towards him.

Qi Zhuji's eyes narrowed slightly, he took a step forward and kicked the Northern Wei sergeant out with a heavy kick.
