The cold wind was blowing and the cloak was blowing in the wind. Li Xiang rode his horse to the front of Zhangye County City. The moat was frozen, and a thick layer of ice could be seen in Below are sharp tree stumps, and if a person falls, they will be stabbed to death by these sharp tree stumps.

The Ma Family flag fluttered in the cold wind on the city wall, the southern city gate was closed, and the northern city gate was opened.

The senior officials in the city had different opinions, and finally Ma Teng took 30,000 troops to garrison Zhangye County City, and the army in the city retreated.

For those who want to go with the retreating army, everyone needs to leave a month's ration before leaving, or they have to be in the city.

There is no shortage of food and grass for the big families in the city, and the Ma Family left in large numbers, and there are still some people who have no extra food at home, so they can only watch others go away.

They can hand over one month's food, but after handing over, where can they find food

Two weeks is not like the Central Plains, where they can get some food by begging in the Central Plains Things, there is basically no beggar here in Liang Province, because you can't beg for any food here, especially in such an environment.

Li Xiang didn't send someone to cut off the road of the retreating army. Because of the snow on the grassland, the charge in the snow can only go forward. It is difficult to stop. Nothing stops.

Only when one side loses, the battle between the two sides will stop.

"My lord, the reinforcements from the rear have arrived!" Cheng Jushu rode his horse to Li Xiang's side and said softly.

Li Da Xiangion nods: "Let them go to the arranged place, and ask someone, Seventh Army, when will the Eighth Legion be mobilized to go south!"

Also In a month and a half, spring will begin. At that time, the snow will melt and the grassland will turn green. The Ma Family army will return in a swirl of dust. When the time comes, Xiliang needs to face a lot of pressure.

So Li Xiang continued the Seventh Army Regiment and the 8th Legion's soldiers to arrive, the Seventh Army Regiment fought with the headquarters soldiers, and the 8th Legion's soldiers were stationed in the city.

The Eighth Legion battle is at the bottom of the army in the Xiliang Army, and can be placed in other troops of the Great Gan. The Eighth Legion can be regarded as a front-line army.

With the Eighth Legion soldiers stationed in the city, the Xiliang army can let go and fight the Ma Family army.

"Yes!" Cheng Jushu rode his horse and quickly retreated to the back, and turned his head to look towards Zhangye County City. This city is very big. If they want to take it down, they have to fight hard!

>

However, before the fight, Duxian asked those who wanted to retreat and the soldiers in the city to retreat. He knew that the other party would not leave too many troops. From the perspective of food and grass, Zhangye County City was in a food crisis.

Especially after Xiliang Tieqi came to the grassland and the two counties behind could no longer provide them with food, the grain reserves in Zhangye County City were decreasing day by day.

Food is the guarantee of battle strength. Without food, an army of 120,000 people is like 12 pigs. After being besieged for a period of time, they will fall into a food crisis. In the end, because there is no food, they can only lose. down.

So the other party won't leave too many soldiers in the city, maybe 30,000 to 60,000 horses. This part of the soldiers must be the elite division, and they are strictly guarded. Maybe they can last for two months. The Ma Family army might arrive!

Thinking about Li Xiang turning around and leaving with his men, the Shenji Camp will start an attack tomorrow. This city must control the city wall before the army can enter.

Or let the army rush to the city urn, that is, let the soldiers of Xiliang go to die.

The Ma Family soldiers on the city wall saw that Li Xiang was retreating with people, they sighed in relief, they recognized Li Xiang, they knew the horror of Provincial Governor Li Xiang, and was attacked by a god-like man. The powerhouse watched, and they felt the pressure.

However, they only stay here for two more days. After two days, the soldiers who stayed in the city will come to pick up their squad, and they can retreat to the back with the large army.

There are not many troops in the city that are willing to fight against the Xiliang Army. Many of them are veterans who have retreated from the front line after fighting with the Xiliang Army.

Those veterans are elite divisions. , When they set off for the expedition, everyone was full of anger, and even the heavy snow could not cover up their imposing manner.

After returning from the battle with the Xiliang Army, everyone kept silent about the Xiliang Army, one or two did not want to recall which battle, so many people went out, and when they came back, there were only less than half of them left. Know how tragic the battle is.

The sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid. Most of the veterans don't want to meet the Xiliang army, and some want to wash away their shame and want to fight the Xiliang army again.

These people are all among the 30,000 people left behind. The food and grass in the city are reserved for those soldiers. They are supplied with food and drink every day. During the days when she and the others were retreating, those people were just serving strength and strength every day. store up energy, rest every day.

This is probably the last day of rest for those soldiers. After their large troops have withdrawn, waiting for those people is the big battle of all black, no daylight.

second day !

Xiliang Shenjiyingsheng began to set up positions, came to the first half mile of the city wall, assembled the catapult, the bed crossbow was closer, and the soldiers were calculating the distance , choose a good place to attack.

This city is very high. If the soldiers of Xiliang want to kill them, they need to go to the ladder. This kind of tool is difficult to carry. They can only cut down trees around the black liquid county in the back and send them to the front line. , let the army craftsmen build it.

These days, Li Xiang has been observing Zhangye County City, but he has not allowed the soldiers to be idle, carrying stones and wood, and building various siege weapons.

This kind of war weapon cannot be built in the wild, it needs some technology in the castle, and it is too extravagant to build a castle in the wild.

There is no nearby timber production area, and the timber for making the ladder was cut down by soldiers from Xiliang from hundreds of miles away.

Building a castle also consumes a lot of wood.

Xiliang launched an attack, and the defenders in the city hid behind one after another. It was very difficult for the opponent to break the city wall with a trebuchet. Zhangye County City is not the province of Liang Province. If it could be attacked so easily down, not at all impossible.

They just listened to the voices from above, and they didn't panic at all. Anyway, they couldn't hit them, and it would take a day for them to withdraw. When the time comes, whatever the Xiliang Army will do!

Civilians in the city heard the sound of the trebuchets hitting the city wall and knew that the war had begun.

Once the war begins, even hiding at home is not very safe, only hiding in cellars, the cellars are the same for every household, but the people of Liang Province are a good place to hide from enemies, foreigners, and wars

City Lord's Mansion, Ma Teng drank the last drink with the senior executives, and this time is likely to be the last drink between them.

"Goodbye!" Third Elder was the last to walk, looking back at the patriarch who was still high-spirited and vigorous half a year ago. Since Ma Jin died, the patriarch has begun to age, and the black hair that used to be Huabai

He is not only a child of Ma Jin, but he spends the most time with Ma Jin. Ma Jin is also very competitive, but unfortunately he met the pervert Li Xiang.

The past is irreparable, and now they can only reduce the loss of the family.

patriarch will take 30,000 troops to defend Zhangye County City. It only needs to be held for a month and a half. When the time comes, they will mobilize a large army to kill.

Even if the black liquid county town and other places cannot be recaptured, it is not a problem to repel the Xiliang army.

Ring, reel!

carriage On the stone pavement, the people who followed the Ma Family army out of Zhangye County City, looked back at this tall city, if they could, they would not Retreat to Zhangye County City.

The prefect and the others said that it only takes one and a half months for the army to come back. Many people do not believe this. Once Zhangye County City is lost, it will be very difficult to get it back, especially the defenders of the city. The army is still the Xiliang Army.

After Ma Teng sent everyone away, he walked to the city gate and saw the army soldiers of Xiliang who were being transferred. They had blocked the west city gate, the east city gate and the south city gate, leaving only the Next north city gate.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not go to hunt down the retreating troops. The Great Elder and the others knew very well the battle strength of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. They were ready. Ma Family cavalry patrolled on both sides of the army. Something was wrong, and the army immediately moved.

Xiliang scouts are stronger than their Ma Family scouts. Even if only one Ma Family scout disappears, they will immediately mobilize their troops.

"Xiliang iron cavalry!" Ma Teng said word for word, his son died in the battle with Xiliang iron cavalry, Li Xiang could not kill him, then Xiliang iron cavalry could kill a few. !

Just as Li Xiang came to the city gate, Li Xiang with good eyes saw Ma Teng who was hair grey-white on the city wall and said, "The city is the prefect of Ma."

Ma Teng is the prefect of Zhangye.

Ma Teng looked towards the city, Li Xiang holding a strange weapon on his horse: "Li Xiang, Li Provincial Governor"

"hahaha!" Li Xiang laughed and rode his horse Going to the Xuanqiao side of the city gate: "Prefect Ma, as expected of the father and son of General Ma Jin, looks very similar!

Speaking of which, I am really sorry, at that time General Ma Jin rode his horse. Come here, I will spare no effort, but I didn't expect General Ma Jin to be so weak, and accidentally killed General Ma Jin!"

Facing the enemy, Li Xiang has always had no manners. No matter what the demeanor does, the two of them are already mortal enemies. Since they are mortal enemies, they want to slap people in the face.

Ma Jin is the Number One Person of the younger generation of the Ma Family, the first heir of the next generation of the family. If such a person is killed by Chen Huai with a single blow, of course he will be ridiculed to death.

Li Xiang's words are like inserting a saber into Ma Teng, then pulling it out and inserting it again and again several times.

"Shoot him to death for me!" Ma Teng said loudly to the archers on both sides without saying anything.

whiz whiz whiz !

Countless long arrows fell from the city wall, Li Xiang didn't even move, those long arrows came close to the side and carried the astral qi around him block.

"Ma Taishou, these soldiers under your command, have they not eaten?" He grabbed a long arrow and said, "This strength is not as strong as that of my weakest man in Xiliang, if I were you, I would let them go back. Farming in the countryside, they don't have the innate talent to be a soldier, no, farming also requires strength, these people should be learning women's embroidery, and women's red does not need too much strength!"

"hahahaha !" The guards who followed Li Xiang burst into laughter, the faces of the archers on the city wall were flushed, embarrassed, embarrassed, and angry... The arrows in their hands were stronger than the other.

But facing the guards of Xiliang, even if these long swords break through their astral qi, they will be blocked by the thick armor on the soldiers' bodies. The guards' armor is not for viewing.

Ma Teng was furious when he saw the scene in front of him, but he quickly suppressed his anger and said: "Provincial Governor Li, if he has the ability, he can kill him on the city wall, and what kind of tongue he is in the city. Fast!"

"I'm not fast enough to talk!" Li Xiang raised Heaven's Halberd and pointed it at Ma Teng: "Ma Taishou, if you want to avenge your son, I can make you fight horses! "

Ma Teng glanced at Li Xiang, was he stupid to go down and fight with Li Xiang?

I winked at the soldiers behind me, and there were long spears on the city wall. The crossbow was not only a weapon of war in Xiliang, but also in Zhangye County City.

Li Xiang saw those long spears and said to Ma Teng: "Ma Taishou, you have to eat and drink well, wash your neck, so that when the time comes you don't get my Heaven's Halberd dirty. !"

"Drive!"

Xiliang's personal guards and Li Xiang quickly retreated. The crossbows on the city wall were aimed at Li Xiang's line, and long spears broke through the air. Go, but unfortunately the speed of the long spear is still a bit slow, only a few long arrows hit the Xiliang guards, they were blocked by the Xiliang guards, and most of the long arrows fell on the ground.

Why did the Xiliang party see that the lord was attacked and did not respond, the trebuchet immediately launched an attack.

peng~ peng~ peng~ !

When the stones fall above the city wall, they are blocked by an invisible shield. No matter how they attack, they cannot break the shield.

"City Protecting Great Formation?" Li Xiang turned around and saw the great formation. To break the spiritual formation, the essence stone in the city had to be exhausted, or the power of a single blow would let the shield Unable to block, so that the shield can be broken.

"It seems that the long-range attack is useless in this city!" Li Xiang was not in a hurry, but looked forward to it: "I don't know how long it will take for Capture Barrack to kill the city wall."

p>

The Capture Barrack soldiers are already on their way, and it will take three days. After three days, there will be one hundred and thirty-five ladders in the camp.

Just in time for siege.

Li Xiang already has a plan in mind. The siege also depends on the strength of the defenders. Just like this city, the defense of the southern city gate is the strongest, and the northern city gate is the weakest, but I want to come tonight After that, the opponent will strengthen the defense of the north city gate.

black liquid county town

everywhere

tidy, the sound of heavy footsteps quieted the civilians on both sides of the street in black liquid county town, looking at which one was in the middle of the street. troop.

The whole body is covered in black armor, with only a pair of indifferent eyes, a horizontal knife on the left, a hammer on the right, a shield on the back, a few iron rods and a long stick with a gun head, a crossbow, and a bow. These soldiers There are weapons all over the body.

Except for the sound of footsteps and the collision of weapons, this troop had no extra sound, and it was dead silent, so that the civilians on both sides did not dare to make a sound.

When the soldiers left, the civilians on both sides recovered, but the target of the chat was which army just now...
