Daye thirteenth year, September 29th.

As the morning light fades, Chang'an slowly wakes up from a quiet autumn dream, but it is not as lively and prosperous as it used to be. The shadow of the siege in the past few days still hangs over Kyoto.

The woods outside the city were cut down, and all the weeds on the ground were crushed into the dust.

On the east, west, north and south sides of Chang'an City, there are two huge three-bow crossbows standing on each side. Beside the crossbows are more than a hundred soldiers responsible for activating them. In front are hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers and archers, and in the rear are cavalry and infantry.

Half an hour ago, all the rebel generals gathered in Li Yuan's tent to await orders.

Li Yuan pointed to the map and said to everyone: "Dalang, you lead Xu Shiji and Yin Kaishan's troops to attack Mingde Gate in the south.

"Erlang, you lead Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao's troops to attack the Jinguang Gate to the west.

"Sanniang, you and Chai Shao will lead your troops to attack Fanglin Gate in the north.

"The rest will follow me to capture Tonghua Gate."

After the deployment, Li Yuan closed the map, looked solemn, and said to everyone sternly: "Everyone, please listen to me. You are not allowed to invade the Sui Dynasty's ancestral temple, palace treasury, or members of the royal family. Anyone who violates this will be punished.

"Half an hour later, the drums sounded, and the city was attacked from all sides at the same time.

"Now, you each go back and pass on my order. If your subordinates disobey the order, you will be deemed to be guilty of the same crime."

The generals looked stern and did not dare to be careless. They immediately returned to the camp and warned the soldiers again and again.

"Dong——"

"Dong——"

"Dong dong dong..."

The loud drum beat suddenly sounded, striking hard on the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

"The enemy is attacking the city."

"The enemy is attacking the city..."

Soldiers at various city gates rushed to tell each other, and the generals and officials who had been guarding the city gates these days immediately ordered to guard.

For some reason, the people in Chang'an City felt a sense of relief after hearing the news, and their tense nerves in recent days also relaxed.

The day has finally arrived....

"shoot."

The thick catapult arrows were shot out at a strong speed, and with a dull sound, six catapult arrows were inserted into the city wall in a row.

Wei Xuan and Yin Shishi stood on the wall, watching all this, but could do nothing.

Because the thick stilt arrows were some distance away from the wall, the soldiers could not reach them and could not destroy them.

"Bang bang——"

Another six stilt arrows were shot, this time the position was slightly lower.

"Bang bang..."

The bed crossbow didn't stop firing until more than twenty talons were firmly planted on the city wall.

Wei Xuan had long heard of the reputation of this bed crossbow, and now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was even more shocked. He hurriedly ordered: "Be on guard, they are about to start attacking the city.

"No matter what method we use, we must prevent them from entering the city."

The soldiers stood ready, ready with slings, bows and arrows, and spears... As soon as the opponent entered the attack range, they began to attack.

However, the rebels did not carry the ladders and rush forward as they did in the past sieges. Instead, the archers took the lead and started shooting at the heads on the city wall.

"ah--"

The soldiers on the city wall were caught off guard and fell off the wall after being hit by arrows.

Wei Xuan was shocked and opened his mouth to give an order, but he coughed violently.

"Ahem..."

This cough made his face red and his ears red, and tears came out.

Upon seeing this, Master Yinshi quickly issued an order: "Hurry up and defend."

The soldiers behind followed to fill the vacant positions, but as soon as they appeared, they were shot again.

"Make up, make up..." Master Yin Shi shouted.

The soldiers didn't move.

A general shouted: "The deputy is staying behind, their arrows are too fast, it is not appropriate for us to show our faces, we should hide."

"They've all been hidden, what else can they do?" Master Yinshi was furious, pointing at the soldiers next to the catapult and saying, "You guys, hold up the stones to fill the gap, look at what they are doing?"

The soldiers hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved the stone to the hole in the wall and looked down.

"The deputy stayed behind, they started to climb the city."

"What?" Master Yin Shi subconsciously stepped forward to check. Just as he was about to poke his head in to look, he caught a glimpse of the corpse on the ground and quickly retracted.

"Quick, hurry up and defend, throw stones... What are you doing standing still? Throw them..."

The soldiers quickly moved rocks and threw them down. However, as soon as they dropped the rocks, their exposed bodies were hit by arrows.

Everyone was so shocked that they did not dare to go directly. They only dared to squat down and throw stones from the hole in the wall without exposing their bodies.

Just squatting and walking makes the movements much slower.

Wei Xuan looked worried and shouted: "...Ahem...stand up, pick up your bows and arrows...Ahem...take a long shot...and stab them."

.....Ahem...."

Perhaps because he was speaking in a hurry, Wei Xuan coughed even more violently. He staggered to the wall, held on to the wall, bent over, and coughed violently.

When the soldiers saw him like this, they couldn't help but feel pain in their hearts. They gritted their teeth, picked up their bows and arrows, and rushed to the hole in the wall.

They hid behind the wall, drew their bows fully, took a quick look at the enemy's position, and started shooting.

There was no accuracy in shooting arrows like this, and some people were shot dead as soon as they showed up.

There were also those who stood directly at the hole in the wall and shot without fear of death, and they were all shot dead without exception.

Under the cover of the archers, the Xuanjia army had already begun to climb the city. When they reached the top of the city wall, the archers stopped shooting.

The Xuanjia army quickly rushed up the city wall and killed everyone they saw.

The first group climbed onto the city wall, followed closely by the second group. A steady stream of rebel soldiers climbed up the city wall and started killing.

They scaled the city wall effortlessly. The rebels below were so excited that they scrambled to climb up with arrows and some climbed up on ladders.

Looking at the red and white flag on the top of the city, Li Sanniang's heart surged. She raised her hand and touched Wang Yu's hair: "I didn't expect you to have such ability? You can actually create such a powerful thing."

Wang Yu raised his chin and was slightly proud: "I also read a lot of books and modified it on the basis of predecessors. It's nothing."

Li Sanniang glanced down at her bun and couldn't help laughing: "You don't have to be humble. You have to be proud when you should be proud."

Wang Yu's eyebrows moved when she heard this. What she said... suited her very well.

"The city gate will open later. I'm going to kill the enemy. You stay here. When it's over, I'll send someone to pick you up."

With that said, Li Sanniang called Ma Sanbao: "You stay here to protect little Yu'er."

Ma Sanbao agreed and stretched out his hand to hug Wang Yu.

Wang Yu turned away and glared at Ma Sanbao: "Don't touch me."

Ma Sanbao: "......" Is he so unpopular with children?

"I don't want to stay here. I'll go kill the enemy with my sister." Wang Yu raised his head and said to Li Sanniang.

Li Sanniang frowned slightly and said sternly: "Xiao Yu'er, this is a battlefield, not a place for fun, people will die.

"When the war breaks out later, I won't be able to take care of you. If you make a mistake, how can I explain it to Aye?"

Wang Yu hummed: "If Aye were here, he would take me to kill the enemy together."

Li Sanniang looked shocked: "..."
