On the top of Fengxiang city.

When Li Maozhen looked down from above, his heart immediately turned cold.

I saw the city.

There were densely packed human heads and war horses, as if they were connected to the sky.

The brand new flag of the Liao Kingdom fluttered in the wind.

First up was a majestic general.

On both sides there were leaders of various ethnic groups in Mobei, tall or short, fat or thin, old or young.

There are even shamans who wear masks and wrap their entire bodies.

Just from the momentum, an invisible pressure seemed to be about to crush Fengxiang City.

Can’t hold it!

Li Maozhen’s heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

But the next moment.

His eyes became firm again.

But still have to defend!

Even if it costs his life, he must ensure that no one from Mobei sets foot in Fengxiang.

Once this place falls.

It’s not just the people of Qi who are suffering behind the scenes.

These 100,000 cavalrymen could invade Chang’an and smash the newly born Tang Dynasty to pieces.

At that time, we only need to cut off the food supply, and Tongguan and Xingyuan will surely fall.

Li Changping’s hard work would be wasted.

What he carries on his shoulders is the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty and the safety of the people of Qi for whom he has fought all his life.

We must protect it even at the risk of our lives!

But at this moment.

The leader of the Liao Kingdom held his spear horizontally and shouted loudly: “Is the man on the top of the city the King of Qi? Where is Li Changping? Tell him to come out and talk to me!”

“Humph! Who do you think you are? Who gave you the title of king? Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself? Are you qualified to talk to His Highness?”

Before Li Maozhen could say anything.

Fanyintian on the side shouted harshly.

At the same time, he swung the pipa in his hand, and two visible sound waves swept directly towards the general.

But not close yet.

An old man next to him also tapped his cane, turning the two sound waves into nothingness.

At this moment, the rough man’s face was full of anger.

After all, there are relatively few words in Mobei.

He pointed his finger at the empty space, unable to utter a single word for a long time. Finally, he could only grit his teeth and say, “You… a sharp-tongued woman! I will not argue with you! When the city is captured, I will see if your teeth are still sharp.”

“Siege!”

Give an order.

One hundred thousand cavalrymen from Mobei were dispatched instantly.

Along with the sound of horse hooves, the ground was raised with huge clouds of yellow sand, making it impossible for the Qi army soldiers guarding the city to see how many people were rushing towards them.

You can only judge by the shaking city wall under your feet.

This is probably going to be a big decisive battle.

Li Maozhen did not dare to be negligent at all. He also raised his hand high, and then lowered it, using his internal force to transmit the sound from far away.

“Fire arrows!”

Bang bang bang bang bang~

The sound of countless bowstrings ringing was heard, followed by sharp whistles that filled the sky.

The sky was originally covered by yellow sand.

It was also blocked by the dense arrow shadows like raindrops.

There is no purpose or aiming required. Just raise your hand slightly and the arrows will cover the city of Fengxiang.

Countless screams were immediately heard from the yellow sand.

You can also vaguely see bright red liquid spurting out.

Li Maozhen remained unmoved, but instead tightly grasped the blood jade flute at his waist.

At this moment, it seemed that only this thing could give her a sense of security.

“Fire arrows!”

Another order was given.

The second round of arrows shot into the sky, faster and more violently than the first time, even suppressing the dust that covered the sky and the sun.

On the ground, blood was slowly gathering.

When the smoke cleared, the Khitans had already retreated, leaving only a few hundred corpses under the city.

But Li Maozhen did not dare to relax at all.

Her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and a few jade-like blue veins appeared on the slender hand holding the blood jade flute.

In this confrontation, it seemed that the Khitans left behind hundreds of corpses.

But for the 100,000 cavalrymen in Mobei, it was just a drop in the bucket.

On the contrary, the Qi army suffered heavy losses.

Drawing a bow and shooting an arrow is not as simple as it seems. The troops defending the city mostly use hard bows.

Every time you draw the bow, you need to pinch the bowstring with two fingers.

This requires extremely high finger and wrist strength. Most people can only fire it three times before their fingers start to tremble and they become unable to aim. In serious cases, they may even accidentally injure their own people.

Even these soldiers defending the city were carefully selected.

It can’t be opened more than a few times.

And then look at the Mobei cavalry under the city.

They are all full of fighting spirit and are almost certain that they can take down Fengxiang.

Li Maozhen was not afraid of Mobei rushing over.

She was afraid that just like before, Mobei would rely on the high mobility of horses to attack back and forth.

After repeating this several times, Qi Jun was exhausted.

But what made her even more frightened was

The Mobei Army split from the center to the left and right, and a huge monster emerged.

“Siege Engine! Logs!”

As we all know, grasslands are mostly wilderness and people live on nomadic means.

Therefore, there are almost no cities.

Most of them had never attacked a city, and their cavalry was not suitable for siege warfare.

Therefore, relying on the high and thick walls of the city, Li Maozhen had hope of waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Qi State is so huge that it is impossible for it to have only 3,000 soldiers from Fengxiang. It’s just that Mobei attacked too quickly and was caught off guard.

As long as we hold out until reinforcements arrive, the city will be defended.

But she never expected…

Mobei’s preparations were much more thorough than she had expected.

The logs for this siege vehicle seemed to have been built long ago, especially the cavalry’s fatigue tactics.

It seemed as if there was a master of siege warfare commanding the other side.

Make every attack of Mobei just right, so that the advantage of the city wall of Qi army cannot be brought into play at all.

Think of this.

Li Maozhen gathered all his energy and looked carefully into the enemy’s formation.

Sure enough, I saw a man wearing a black cloak, wrapping himself tightly next to the coach.

He was talking to Abaoji sideways.

There seemed to be a few silver hairs showing from the temples.

After hearing his words, Abaoji’s excitement was beyond words.

Just wave your hand.

But from behind the army, a sharp creaking sound of wood stirring was heard.

There were 864 horses in total, each group consisting of eight tall horses, and they slowly came with eight high platforms that were put together in an instant.

The height of these platforms is even higher than Fengxiang.

After reaching the appropriate position, dozens of soldiers climbed up like monkeys.

Then he drew his bow and arrow and aimed at the top of the city.

In just a short moment, the offense and defense changed, and the Qi army’s previous advantage of being in a dominant position disappeared.

at this time.

But then I saw the black figure say a few more words.

Yelu Abaoji raised the whip again.

“rush!”

This charge is different from the previous one.

There is a higher vantage point in the sky where arrows can be shot down at the top of the city walls.

It was no longer the cavalry that charged on the ground.

Instead, they used shields to protect themselves and sent siege vehicles and logs to the city step by step.

“King Qi! What should we do?”

The Holy Lady of Nine Heavens has already used all her skills.

While continuously controlling the sharp arrows shot at the top of the city wall, he attempted to control the music to interfere with the soldiers below the city.

But it doesn’t help.

All they could do was watch the siege vehicles and logs getting closer and closer.

“Follow me and smash that car!”

Li Maozhen shouted loudly and stomped his foot on the battlement on the top of the city wall.

The whole person jumped more than two meters high in an instant, and then fell down instantly.

Behind her, the saints also took off with their musical instruments.

After the war had progressed to this point, anyone could tell that the enemy had someone with expert guidance.

Otherwise, Mobei would not have such a mature siege method.

A group of reckless men who only know how to charge forward cannot achieve such exquisite coordination.

This attack method seemed to have been rehearsed countless times.

There are only two ways to understand.

Either fill it with human lives, or make up for it with experience through repeated failures.
