It took an hour to build more than ten trench bridges, but more than a thousand lives were also lost, and this was just the beginning of the battle.

The ladder slowly pushed up and crossed the trench bridge in the rain of arrows. The soldiers pulled the ropes, and the folded ladder gradually stretched out and landed onto the city wall, but it was still three feet away from the chassis.

The general who commanded the cloud car shouted loudly: "Take it back and push the cloud ladder forward a little!"

The more forward the Tang army attacked, the more violent it was. The big stone fell on the soldiers' shoulders, and the seemingly strong body immediately changed. The twisted body struggled on the ground and was smashed to the head by another stone in a blink of an eye.

The cloud car finally adjusted to the most appropriate position. Teams of Zhou soldiers rushed up with guns. But before they could climb to the edge of the city wall, there were logs with iron teeth rolling down the ladder from the city.

The two who were at the beginning were immediately tied into sieve by iron teeth. The people behind jumped out of the air in horror. They either fell to the ground and fell to their legs and had broken their tendons, or they fell into the moat and spit out a string of blisters and disappeared.

Tang Jun pulled the iron chain and took the rolling wood back. When the rolling wood reached the squad, he saw half of the corpse stuck on it. The Tang soldiers sneered and stabbed it with a spear. The soft corpse fell into the moat like a broken sack, quickly dyeing the surrounding water red.

This scene made people feel disgusting and numb. The terrible corpses under the walls made the siege soldiers feel timid. Some even started to quietly escape, but they were pressed to the ground and then chopped their heads directly.

The supervisor shouted loudly with the deserter's head, "If there is another escapee at the battle, this is the end. If you die, you won't even have a pension!"

The two evils were the least, so the Zhou army soldiers had to bite the bullet and continue to attack the city. As for the ending, there was no difference between them before...

Looking at the hellish scene in front of him, Xu Xian sighed with gratitude: "Luckily, I'm not a infantryman!" Turning his head to look at the people around him, seeing that they also looked scared, Xu Xian teased: "I used to shout to come to attack Shouzhou, but now I know I'm afraid."

Dakui said: "What's there to be afraid of? It's because they are not lucky. If I had killed myself on the city wall long ago."

"Oh? So powerful, I want to recommend you to the Grand Marshal as the vanguard of the city!"

Dakui waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, I'm joking. I haven't married a wife yet, I don't want to die. Oh, you see, they are still setting fires, the ladders are burning, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... It's so damn miserable. Hey? Isn't that Bai Yuhou? Is the Grand Marshal going to send him to attack the city?"

Xu Xian looked up and saw Bai Yanyu bringing more than a thousand people out of the array. Everyone had a wooden shield wrapped in cowhide in their hands. Bai Yanyu did not carry the sharp horse spear, but only held a short gun in his hand, and four or five of the same short guns were tied to his back.

The war drum suddenly became rapid, and Bai Yanyu opened his mouth and shouted, "Kill!" More than a thousand people shouted, holding their shields high and rushed under the city wall. When they saw the ladder, they climbed up the steps.

Xu Xian stared at Bai Yanyu tightly, and saw that he had found a ladder with many people, but left three or four feet away from the people in front of him, and raised his shield and stepped towards the city.

The people in front kept falling from the ladder. Bai Yanyu stopped halfway through his waist. He suddenly poked his head out from behind the shield and looked at the mercedes. He raised his hand and threw the short gun in his hand out.

This shot was accurate and fierce, and it stabbed through the chest of one Tang army and into the shoulders of another Tang army. Bai Yanyu immediately pulled out a short gun from behind and threw it at the top of the city again.

He moved quickly and threw all five or six short guns in one breath. Except for one shot, he scored several of the others.

The resistance of Zhou's army suddenly decreased last year. At the front, the Zhou army soldiers jumped towards the city wall. Unexpectedly, before they landed, they stabbed him to death with a long spear from the side.

Immediately afterwards, several Tang soldiers on the top of the city held a rolling wood and threw it down along the ladder. Any Zhou soldiers who were touched by the rolling wood were either dead or injured, and in the blink of an eye, they rolled in front of Bai Yanyu.

Bai Yanyu jumped suddenly, and the rolling wood passed by his feet. There was no one on the ladder ahead. Bai Yanyu pulled out a horizontal knife from his waist, rushed up a few steps, jumped to the mercedes, and killed two Tang soldiers with a few strokes. The red blood splattered his head and face.

Zhou Jun from the city and the distant ones screamed excitedly when he saw this. Bai Yanyu was even more passionate. Seeing that there was a gap in front of him, he was about to land and suddenly a spear came out in front of him. Bai Yanyu hurriedly raised his knife to block it, but the other party's spear head swayed like a spirit snake and hit his chest.

"ah!"

Bai Yanyu's thunderous screams were heard from a distance, and he waved his arms and fell from the city. Seeing Bai Yanyu's huge splash of water stirring up on the moat, Xu Xian couldn't help but close his eyes. "It's a pity that such a fierce man died like this!"

A squeal of shouts broke out from the city, "Make the Gong powerful! Make the Gong powerful!..."

Xu Xian sighed: "It turns out that the opponent's coach took action. Bai Yan will die if you meet you."

Three waves of attacks in a row, losing three or four thousand troops, most of the siege equipment was lost, and a powerful general was missing. Li Gu had to order the withdrawal of his troops and return to the camp ten miles west of Shouzhou City.

The loss of this battle was too tragic and the losses were great. Li Gu was worried that the soldiers would cause trouble, so he asked someone to take out all the wine and meat in the camp for those soldiers who had survived death to enjoy. The red scarf didn't even attack the city and got a jar of wine. Xu Xian just got the hand and licked his lips and came up.

"This is the robe that died in battle and was rewarded with your life. You have the nerve to drink it. Put incense and candles for me to pay tribute to me first."

It was so easy to find the candle, so I found three dry grass sticks instead. Xu Xian poured a bowl of wine and held it in his hand, saying, "Old Bai, Lao Bai, you said you would pay tribute to me some time ago, but it was my turn to pay tribute to you in a few days. It's really hard to predict.

Although you and I have known each other for a while, we have slept and fed together to kill the enemy side by side. I respect you for being righteous and brave. Today, you are regretful and regretful. Xu reported your achievements to His Majesty and helped you take care of your wife, children, and hope you will be reborn as soon as possible."

Bai Yanyu's old brothers were moved and wiped their tears and sobbed quietly, kowtowing at the rough and simple spiritual position.

Wang Erbian wiped his tears and choked and said, "Actually, our army master is very nice to my brothers, but he is a little bit bad to me. Now that others are gone, I don't care about him. I will definitely take out a hundred documents to serve as the funeral ceremony in his house in the future."

Xu Xian raised the wine bowl and tilted it slightly, and a wisp of turbid wine dripping on the ground. Before the wine was finished, Xu Xian's arm was grabbed by a big hand. He immediately scolded: "Do you still understand the rules? This is for the dead!"

I heard a thick voice saying, "Isn't it for me to drink?"

Xu Xian turned his head and saw that the person who grabbed his arm was not Bai Yanyu. In the faint light of fire, he saw that his face was pale and his lips were blue, his body was wet and his hands were wet and cold.

Xu Xian felt that his scalp was blown up, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"You said I am a human or a ghost!" Bai Yanyu snatched the wine bowl from Xu Xian's hand and drank it clean, "Give me some more warmth!"

Seeing that he was not dead, Bai Yanyu's subordinates cheered and poured wine for him, asking him why he had survived again.

"I'm not dead at all. I fell into the moat and I couldn't float in my armor."

Wang Erbian asked, "Did the military leader also find a stone and came up with the stone?"

"The moat was steep and holding the stones, and I was afraid that I would not be able to get up. Just when I fell into the water, I grabbed a spear on the river surface, held myself up, lay on the shore and waited for two hours, until it was dark and then I went ashore and ran back."

Xu Xian said: "I clearly saw that someone was stabbed in the chest."

"I did have a shot, but I see there are holes in my armor."

Xu Xian leaned closer and saw a flat hole in his breastplate, "Are you a copper-skinned iron bone?"

"Hehe... Today I will ask you to see my life-saving baby!"

Bai Yanyu said that in addition to the armor on his body, he saw that there was also a layer of armor on his chest. Non-gold and non-iron were made of wood pieces, which looked like a small bamboo mat.

Wang Erbian asked strangely: "Can the steel gun that can't even be blocked by iron armor? Can the wood piece blocks block it?"

"Hehe... Don't look at the inconspicuous wooden armor, it is a royal object. When I captured Zhenzhou, Emperor Gaozu of Jin saw that I was covered with scars, he gave me this wooden armor, saying that it was made of iron wood from Nanzhao, with a light texture and harder than iron armor." Bai Yanyu pointed on a wooden piece, "I was stabbed, but it was just cracked. If it were ordinary wooden pieces, it would have been broken long ago."

"If it weren't for the iron armor outside blocking it, your wooden armor wouldn't be of much use." Xu Xian shook his head and said, "I don't believe it anyway, unless you give it to me."

"If you want to give it to you!" Bai Yanyu said, then he pulled Mu Jia and handed it to Xu Xian. Seeing Xu Xian dissatisfied, he smiled and said, "You said you were taking care of my wife and children for me. If I was really stabbed to death one day, I would have no worries."

"Just just jokes. A gentleman does not take away the beauty of others. I have less chances to charge in front of the battlefield than you. You should save yourself to save your life."

A stupid soldier beside Wang Er transformed into a foolish soldier suddenly asked, "Mr. Yu, this wooden armor was really given to you by Emperor Gaozu of Jin. Can you give it to me too?"

Wang Erbian pushed the soldiers away, "There are all you are the commander here, you are the soldiers who are joining in the fun, and then go to practice the gun!"

"I understand!" The soldier responded and turned around and stabbed the void, shouting constantly: "Kill! Kill!..."

Bai Yanyu slapped Wang Erbian in the head, "Who are you? You will bully honest people. That kid can read and work hard. He will climb onto your head in two years."

"Dongdongdongdong..."

A sound of drums came from the coach's tent. Xu Xian put down the wine bowl and said, "The coach is going to be promoted to the tent, so it's not enough to leave!"

Bai Yanyu waved his hand and said, "I have met the general just now. He told me to raise a good general. In short, it will not be my turn to attack the city again."

Xu Xian had to go to the guard tent alone. After entering the tent, he found that all the generals had arrived. Since he entered the door, everyone turned their heads to look at him. He immediately felt a bad premonition in his heart. He immediately looked at Zhao Hongyin, and saw Zhao Hongyin shook his head slightly at him, and he knew it in his heart.

Xu Xian bowed to Li Gu and was about to stand on one side. Li Gu smiled and said, "Stop Xu Dian!"

"What else does the Grand Marshal have to give?"

Li Gu stroked his beard and said, "This time you went to Huainan, you and Bai Yan met Ren Zheng and Deputy Pioneer. They first occupied Guangzhou, burned the Tang army to the Fortress, and built a floating bridge for the army to pass through. The two of you made the greatest contribution. This commander has written a memorial and presented it to His Majesty."

The more he said this, the less at ease in Xu Xian's heart. This was definitely the sweet date given before the stick. Xu Xian bowed and replied: "It is the duty of his subordinates to be loyal to His Majesty and he will never dare to be greedy for merit!"

"It is a good thing for young people to be cautious of being arrogant and impetuous, but your Majesty will definitely benefit you."

Xu Xian shook his head and said, "The General still doesn't know His Majesty enough. Last year, his subordinates made a small contribution in Longyou. His Majesty did not give him a reward. He told the officials not to be wronged."

Seeing that he was not on the road, Li Gu couldn't help but show a three-point displeasure on his face, and simply said straight to the point: "Today's siege army suffered heavy losses, and all the generals had no good plans. I heard that the Red Turban under the Dianzhi command were good at climbing the city and sneak attacks. I want you to lead people into Shouzhou City to open the city gate and put down the suspension bridge!"

As expected, he would never agree to such a task without Zhao Hongyin reminding him. He simply refused and said, "This plan is absolutely not feasible!"

Li Gu frowned and asked, "Why can't it be possible? As far as I know, Yanzhou and Guangzhou are all city gates that you open like this."

Xu Xian said: "The general also said that the soldiers of Gaochishen, Guangzhou, Shouzhou City are well-trained and brave and united, and can be regarded as rare elites. I heard that the head coach of Shouzhou has only been the governor of the Qinghuai Army for more than a year. If he can train such soldiers in a short time, he must have outstanding points. If these thousand people want to steal the city, they are afraid that they will be able to get back if they are meat buns and dogs."

Han Lingkun said: "Why should Dianzhi destroy oneself and gain the ambition of others? Our Northern Army has always been good at fighting than the Southern Army. With the elite of the Red Turban Capital, we will definitely win the flag. Dianzhi will not refuse."

Li Gu said: "Han Linggong is right, the matter is decided like this. You can choose a good time to steal the city nearby. I will ask someone to cooperate with you."

Xu Xian replied word by word: "What if I don't agree?"

Li Gu's face suddenly became gloomy, "If you dare not obey the commander, then don't be ruthless in the commander's military law! The visitor pushed Xu Xian out of the tent and asked to behead him, and the head level was passed on to the three armies."

Two personal soldiers came in outside the tent immediately. Before they could get close, Xu Xian was already drawing his sword in his hand. "I see who dares!" He stared at Li Gu and said, "The general seemed to have forgotten that Xu was the personal order of his Majesty and was inspector. He cut off my head. Could you be rebelling?"
