The Tang Dynasty shouted loudly: "The blacksmith picks up the commanders and shoots them. Don't let them get close to the trenches."

Hu Ge nodded, turned around and said to Ergou and Xiaolian beside him: "Did you hear that? I'm targeting those guys who command the soldiers. Don't leave me, you two!"

Ergou didn't speak at this time, just nodded, looked at Xiaolian behind him and said: "Don't be afraid, sister, just aim at those generals and shoot."

The two camps collided fiercely in an instant. The Nanhai army relied on powerful catapults, and the Southern Xinjiang army had three thousand heavy slaves and tens of thousands of iron bows and arrows.

Once the two sides take action, the battlefield enters a white-hot stage.

"Damn it, where did they get so many stones?" Ma Tianyun looked at the sky and said. A few days ago, the army had cleared away the few stones in the wasteland.

"They should have brought these rocks from other places." Ma Feihu shot an iron arrow with all his strength and replied coldly.

"Don't worry, their attack won't last long." Tang Chao shouted at him.

"That's good, we just need to hold on. With the wind like this, once those fires start burning, they will stop." Ma Tianyun roared with all his strength.

At this moment, Yelu Mingzhu, who heard the news, rushed over with Wang Ruyi.

When the two women saw that the battle had begun, they didn't say much. They each took out their iron bows, aimed at the battlefield ahead, and shot arrow after arrow.

Hu Ge was startled when he saw it. He looked at the two women and said, "Why are you here? Where is Senior Hua?"

Wang Ruyi pointed behind her and said quietly: "The master is staying behind. She won't interfere in our affairs. Don't worry, master blacksmith."

Tang Chao glanced at everyone and shouted: "What the hell, shoot out all the iron arrows in your hands, and don't let go of those guys who are holding swords and directing the attack."

"Don't worry, I'm here." Yelu Mingzhu said coldly.

After speaking, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at a deputy general who was rushing in front to direct the charge in the South China Sea army. With a whoosh, the iron arrow flew out like lightning.

It was twice as fast and much harder than Ergou and Xiaolian's.

As a result, the iron arrow hit the charging Nanhai soldiers in a flash of lightning. The enemy's phalanx was instantly panicked, and another deputy general was immediately added.

The attack is still continuing.

On the top of Nanyun City Tower, Yang Kaiyi listened to the earth-shattering sound of fighting in front of him and sighed leisurely.

Looking at Nalan Yu, he said: "It has been quiet for so many years, but I didn't expect that there would be another war."

Nalan Yu shook his head and said coldly: "The enemy this time is much more ferocious. We have been preparing for ten years, and they have been preparing for more than ten years."

Yang Kaiyi nodded and said quietly: "Fortunately, there are two great monks in Nanyun City, so we are not afraid of our opponents causing trouble."

Nalan Yu didn't take it seriously. Thinking about his narrow escape, he replied: "They already wanted to cause harm many years ago, otherwise they wouldn't have planted killers in Nanyun City."

"How long can we last in this battle?" Yang Kaiyi asked.

Nalan Yu thought for a while and sighed: "If you hold on for two days, let the army evacuate. Don't fight them in the wilderness."

Why bother fighting knife-to-knife with opponents in the wilderness when you have a peerless formation?

Isn't that stupid?

Yang Kaiyi nodded when he heard this, looked at him and said: "That's right, let the army in front come back to rest, and the soldiers who stayed in Nanyun City will go up."

Looking at the thick smoke in the sky, Nalan Yu sighed softly and said: "I hope this great formation set up by the Imperial Guard is impregnable and can block the cavalry of the South China Sea Army."

Yang Kaiyi smiled: "Maybe Watson and Xiao Hei can give us an unexpected surprise?"

…

Amid the whining sound, the sky is filled with horns!

This attack and defense has lasted for an hour. Not to mention how many people in the Nanhai army were injured by the three thousand heavy soldiers, there were many casualties among the soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang in the trenches alone.

After all, the opponent's trebuchet is not a vegetarian.

The soldiers on both sides were already fighting red-eyed, and the Nanhai army had already reached the wasteland less than twenty feet away from the trenches.

Yelu Mingzhu and Wang Ruyi's iron arrows were all gone, the two dogs were injured, and even Tang Chao was injured in the arm by a falling stone!

Seeing that her brother was injured, Xiaolian was so angry that she dragged a box of iron arrows over and shot them at the advancing Nanhai army.

At this moment, Ma Tianyun looked at Hu Ge and said: "Set fire!"

Hu Ge nodded and said to the messenger behind him: "Push down those kerosene barrels and let the archers light them..."

As a result, the soldiers in the trenches became busy. Under the cover of the shield array, hundreds of barrels of fire holes were pushed down the high trenches, rolling and leaking oil all the way.

Before the oil drums could roll in front of the charging army in the South China Sea, thousands of rockets from the trenches were already aimed at the rolling oil drums!

"Fire the arrow!" Ma Tianyun gave the order decisively without any further hesitation.

Then the red flag in the hands of the messenger waved, and thousands of rockets flew towards the rolling oil drums.

The moment a fire net flew through the sky, the ground burst into flames!

The wind helped the fire spread all the way to the South China Sea, and soon there were earth-shaking screams.

This was more terrifying than the catapults of the South China Sea army, because the oil barrels kept rolling, and no one dared to stop the burning oil barrels.

As a result, the burning area is getting wider and wider, gradually moving towards the deep front of the South China Sea Army.

Woohoo!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the general decisively gave the order to retreat.

As if knowing that the last trench was difficult to fight, the Nanhai army turned around and evacuated to the rear while trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

Even in retreat, the back camp turns into the front palace and retreats in an orderly manner, like a tide.

Before the kerosene dumped by the southern Xinjiang army could completely burn, the opponent had quietly withdrawn from the battlefield.

Ma Tianyun could only sigh and said: "Take care of things and send the injured soldiers back to Nanyun City!" After speaking, he let out a long roar, as if to vent the anger in his heart.

Seeing the opponent retreat, Hu Ge held the iron bow and was about to rush down the trench to chase him, but was caught by the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at him, he shouted loudly: "General Ma has given an order, are you still disobeying it?"

Hu Ge, whose eyes were red with bloodshed, stopped now, looked at him and shouted: "While they retreat, I will kill a few more."

Tang Chao dragged him back, cursing as he walked: "Are you just playing house in Qingcheng? This is a battlefield!"

Seeing that the enemy had retreated, Yelu Mingzhu had no choice but to say to Wang Ruyi: "The enemy has retreated, let's go back too."

Xiaolian held Ergou's hand and asked distressedly: "Brother, does it hurt?"

Ergou shook his head, pointed at Tang Chao and laughed: "Ask Uncle Tang if it hurts."

Tang Chao looked at him and sighed, and said leisurely: "Since you have been injured, take your sister back to the city and save your strength to use it when they attack the city."

Yelu Mingzhu glanced at Ergou, took Xiaolian's hand and said, "Sister Xiaolian, let's go back. If we want to fight, we can wait until tomorrow."

On the battlefield after the armistice, instead of the desperate howls before, there were more whines.

After a great battle, there were casualties on both sides, and both sides were competing to see who could not help but fall first.

This night will be a sleepless night for both armies.

Because everyone knows that there will be a hard battle tomorrow. If Nanhai Dahua wants to capture the last trench, he is afraid that he will have to pay a higher price than before.

However, sometimes things don't go as planned.

No one expected that just one night passed and before the summer solstice came, a heavy rain would suddenly come.

As a result, the wasteland instantly turned into swamps everywhere. The big pits detonated by the previous war in Southern Xinjiang and the areas that the South China Sea army had not completely leveled suddenly turned into Zeguo.

General Yunxuan, who got up early, looked at the rain curtain in front of him and sighed: "It's really God's unkindness!"

Military advisor Shang Donglin shook his head and said softly: "This kind of weather is not suitable for large-scale military operations. Let's rest for two days and wait until the road is clear."

The general nodded and replied helplessly: "Then let them dance for two more days."

In such weather, let alone the heavy catapults, even the horses of the army could not move quickly in the swamp.

Hu Ge on the trench looked at the heavy rain falling from the sky and shouted: "Fat man, do you think God is helping us or the South China Sea army?"

Tang Chao, who was lying on the bed, turned over and said with a smile: "Nonsense, of course you are helping us. Come over quickly and apply medicine on me. It hurts me to death."

Hu Ge patted him and said with a smile: "You are going to be a father no matter what, so be stronger next time."

At the top of Nanyun City, Nalan Yu looked at the heavy rain and sighed at Yang Kaiyi.

He said quietly: "This is God's help, and the stench in front of Nanyun City has been completely washed away."

Yang Kaiyi smiled: "If you beat them to death, you probably wouldn't have thought that the general would do this to them, right?"

Nalan Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I have used all the moves I can think of and all the moves I can use. Except for the large formation in front of me that I have never tried before, I only have the last move left."

"When do you plan to use it?" Yang Kaiyi thought for a while, looked at him and asked seriously.

Nalan Yu lowered his head and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. What should I do? We have to wait until we are almost unable to endure it and they cannot endure it, right?"

…

On the grassland, not ten miles away from the royal court of the Lan family.

After a lot of effort, Watson and Xiao Hei finally got close to the territory of the Lan family's royal court.

Standing with a pot of hot tea, Watson slowly took out the Demon-Conquering Sword from the sword case.

Xiao Hei asked again: "I remember that my brother's sword was not that heavy, and it didn't have a sword case. I didn't expect that you just took a nap and even changed the sword."
