Yang Hao is naturally in Tianlang.

After leaving Dingnan, Yang Hao and Huben continued to travel north for 120 miles and arrived at another city slightly smaller than Dingnan, Xiaohe City.

After trying to persuade them to surrender within a hundred breaths to no avail, under the cover of dense arrows, two tiger warriors armed with giant cones rode their horses to the gate of Xiaohe City and smashed the gate into pieces with a bang.

Huben rushed into the city, but the defenders only made slight contact with him and were killed. They abandoned their armor and helmets. The city defender had no choice but to give orders to abandon their weapons and surrender.

After also taking three base arrows, bringing all the troops and horses here, and ordering the defender of Xiaohe City to destroy the standard ordnance like Dingnan, Yang Hao took Tiger Tiger out of Xiaohe City and headed north.

.

At this time, it was not yet noon.

If Yang Hao and Huben continue their rapid march, they will surely reach Shuofeng City, another city one hundred and forty miles north of Xiaohe City, before noon.

If Shuofeng City can be captured in one go, then there will be no city between Shuofeng and Tianlang's capital, Xijing, that can block Huben's path. Because other cities within a range of four hundred miles are either too small in scale,

Or you can completely avoid it.

However, after leaving Shuofeng City and walking slowly for thirty miles to the north, Yang Hao did not continue moving forward with Huben. Instead, he set up a marching tent on the spot, stationed there, buried pots to cook, and had a good meal for two days.

He paused, and then fell asleep peacefully again.

On the same day, the news from the scouts was sent back to Dingnancheng. Song Wangan said nothing but ordered to speed up the transportation of food and the destruction of ordnance.

In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Yang Hao took Huben and continued northward, arriving outside Shuofeng City just before Si Shi.

News of the successive losses of Dingnancheng and Xiaohe City reached Shuofeng City yesterday, and Shuofeng City was already well prepared.

After the city guard general learned that the gates of Dingnan City and Xiaohe City were breached, he not only ordered people to urgently reinforce the city gates, but even ordered people to completely seal the doorway of the south gate of Shuofeng City with stones, sacks and various sundries.

It was blocked, completely eliminating the possibility of Huben breaking into the city from the city gate.

Not only that, after learning yesterday that Dingnan City and Xiaohe City had been attacked by Huben, the Shuofeng City Guard General sent an urgent message to the Wolf Lord and sent people to all the garrisons around Shuofeng City for help.

When Yang Hao led Huben to the outside of the city, and with reinforcements coming from all over the city, the number of defenders in Shuofeng City was no less than 40,000, which was several times the number of Huben led by Yang Hao.

Even with such an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, the main defender of Shuofeng City simply assumed a defensive posture and placed all the archers and elite soldiers on the left and right side of the main city tower to prevent Huben from attacking.

Forced to enter the city.

Yang Hao, who brought Huben to the outside of the city, seemed to turn a blind eye to the formation set up by Shuofeng City. He just waved his hand gently, and the general Huben holding the Daguandao rode forward just like he did twice yesterday.

persuade to surrender.

Before the Huben general reached fifty steps outside the south gate of Shuofeng City, the defenders at the top of the city opened their bows and fired arrows at him.

He just used the Daguan sword in his hand to deflect some arrows that were shot at the eyes of the war horse below him, but allowed many arrows to fall on him. The Huben general was not injured at all. Then, in the extremely horrified eyes of the defenders at the top of the city, this

The famous Tiger Ben general waved the Daguandao in his hand towards the city head. Several bursts of arrows shot up from the Huben formation, knocking down the defenders at the top of the city.

Immediately, the tiger general continued to ride his horse forward. But this time, no arrows flew down from the top of the city.

Walking thirty steps away from the city gate, just like he did outside Dingnan City and Xiaohe City yesterday, the Huben general gave him a hundred breaths and then rode back to the main formation.

However, the response to him, although there were no more bows and arrows, was the sound of laughter on the top of the city. Some defenders even hid behind the battlements and shouted provocatively, saying that they were waiting for the tiger to come up on the top of the city.

After a hundred breaths, General Huben, who was holding the Daguandao, waved his sword in the direction of Shuofeng City and shouted: "Destroy the city!"

From the Tiger and Ben formation, dozens of soldiers rushed out, lined up in front of the formation, divided into three groups, and began to assemble.

This time, what they assembled was not a giant crossbow, but three scaled-down versions of something similar to a catapult.

The defenders at the top of Shuofeng City saw these three catapult-like things from a distance. Not only did they not panic at all, their shouts and jeers became even louder. Even the nervous faces of the generals who defended the city completely relaxed.

Because, in their opinion, it was sheer fantasy to break through the walls of Shuofeng City with just three toy-like catapults.

After the three small catapult-like instruments were assembled, the Huben general holding the Daguandao waved the Daguandao downwards, and the catapult-like instrument in the middle was activated. It was the size of a millstone, and in the sun

A ball that seemed to be shining like waves flew towards the city wall with a roar.

However, this ball is not thrown high like a catapult, but like an arrow, almost in a straight line, flying towards the city wall diagonally above in the distance. The speed of its flight, it can be seen that

It actually looks almost the same as an arrow shot from a strong bow.

With a bang, the ball hit the city wall.

Where the ball hit, the defenders on the top of the city above felt their bodies shake at the same time. A few bold defenders stuck their heads out and looked down, and were shocked. The city wall below had been hit by the ball.

A deep pit emerged. Looking at the ball that rolled down on the base of the city wall, it was clearly a giant ice lump wrapped in many stones.

"What the hell is this?!" Several defenders couldn't help shouting at the same time.

You must know that although Tianlang is not good at the art of digging and firing, Shuofeng City did not use many hard-earned boulders when building the city wall because it was located in the hinterland of Tianlang. However, the adobe bricks used to build the city wall were

That was also after many beatings

It is made of bricks, mixed with straw and dried milk to increase the viscosity and strength. Over the years, the wind and sun have made the soil, straw and dried milk blend into one, making this kind of brick-based brick

The city wall became very strong.

After learning that Yang Hao had led Huben Company to defeat Nancheng and Xiaohe City, Shuofeng City's defender not only made the previous preparations, but also specially led people to test the strength of Shuofeng City's walls again.

During the test, a famous brave general from Shuofeng City used all his strength to hit the city wall with his mace. Not only did he fail to cause much damage to the city wall that had become stronger due to the cold, but he also almost destroyed his own body.

My arm was injured by the shock.

Who would have thought that such a strong city wall would sink into a deep pit under the blow of that ice lump?

What the hell are those three catapults?

In front of the Huben formation, next to two other catapult-like instruments, the two Tigers looked at the location where the ball hit, each took out a triangular object and gestured, and then directed their companions next to the two instruments.

Adjusted the angle slightly.

After the adjustment was completed, the two tigers waved their hands downward, and the two instruments were activated at the same time, launching two balls of the same size.

Amidst the roar, the defenders on the previous city wall felt their bodies shake again.

The brave defenders on the city head once again stuck their heads out and looked down. Sure enough, there were two more deep pits on the city wall below. Looking at the distance, these two deep pits were about 10 meters away from the previous one.

About three feet, and less than two steps away from where the defenders were standing.

In front of the Tiger and Ben formation, Yang Hao, who was standing tall with his horse and spear raised, nodded secretly with satisfaction.

Huben's various trainings over the years have been in vain.

If the landing points of these three balls are connected, they will form an extremely accurate inverted triangle. Even with Yang Hao's eyesight or even his spiritual sense, he can't find many faults with this inverted triangle.

Immediately afterwards, these three catapult-like instruments were fired continuously, and soon a deep inverted triangle about three feet long was smashed on the city wall.

Above the inverted triangle, the defenders on the city head moved to both sides to avoid it. Because they had felt that as the ball attacked again and again, the city wall under their feet had become increasingly unstable. In some places,

It has even begun to collapse.

Finally, after another ball hit the city wall, the garrison commander on the main tower of Shuofeng City ordered his men to wave the white flag.

He knew that if Huben was allowed to hit it like this, a gap would be created in the city wall within a short time.

He also knew that based on all the information he urgently collected yesterday, once the city wall was breached, he would not be able to stop the demonic force outside the city with just the 40,000 defenders in his hands, especially those who were mainly infantry.

The Chu cavalry.

He also knew that the other party had actually kept his hand. Otherwise, if the opponent's several catapult-like things were launched not at the city wall, but at the city head, or even at the city, they would not know that they had been fired at Shuofeng City.

How many casualties have been caused. Moreover, God knows whether the other party can assemble more such catapults, and whether there are more other means.

The city lord waiting to be guarded will personally lead people to clear the doorway of the south gate of Shuofeng City, open the city gate, and Yang Hao leads Huben into the city.

Similarly, Yang Hao and Huben did not stay longer in Shuofeng City. The order he gave to the city guard general was the same as the previous order given to Song Wangan and the Xiaohe City guard general. However, this time, among the things taken away from Shuofeng City,

The number of arrows increased by seven points, and Huben also received three days of military rations.

After leaving Shuofeng City, Yang Hao and Huben traveled north for three hundred miles before stopping again.

During this period, Huben saw a city no smaller than Shuofeng City, but he only walked around the city. And the Sirius defenders of this city only closed the city gate tightly and did not go out to stop it.

From then on, there were countless smooth roads from where Huben stayed to Xijing.

After stopping, Huben set up a marching tent and cooked rice just like he did yesterday, looking like he was taking a good rest.

Not only that, for the first time in the two days since entering Tianlang, Huben used local materials to build some simple defenses around the camp.

On the same day, the news from the scouts was sent back to Dingnancheng again. Song Wangan still said nothing, but issued two additional orders after ordering to further speed up the transportation of grain and the destruction of ordnance.

First, send more manpower to carry out ordnance destruction.
Chapter completed!
