Outside Bianzhou City, Fan Yang's army was already approaching the city. Their phalanxes were lined up, and their chariots and horses all gave people a sense of high-spirited oppression.
There was no clear sky today, and Fan Yangjun's troops in neat formation could not be seen to the end, as if they were connected to the gray sky.
The person who leads the army is Duan Shiang.
In his previous message to Henan Province, King Fan Yang promised to give each place half a month to consider. Now the half month period has not yet arrived, but only ten days have passed. Fan Yang's army has already approached the front of Bianzhou City after taking a short rest.
However, this makes no sense.
At this time, the army has arrived, and Bianzhou has no choice but to fight.
Hu Lin wore a scarlet cloak and personally climbed onto the Bianzhou City Tower to direct the war.
Before giving the order to attack the city, Duan Shiang sent one man and one horse forward to try to persuade Hu Lin to give up unnecessary stubborn resistance.
The man drove his horse close to the foot of Bianzhou City. Hu Lin looked down and quickly recognized him. This man was actually a general named Gong Guobi who was one of his soldiers who died in the battle.
Previously, Fan Yang's army attacked Luoyang, and Hu Lin was ordered to allocate more than 10,000 troops from the Bianzhou garrison and ask his confidants to join the army and rush to support Luoyang.
Hu Lin, whose eyes were already red from death, looked at the purgatory-like situation, listened to the groans of the wounded soldiers beside him, and heard the reports from the soldiers who had joined the army, saying that more than a thousand of his comrades had been killed, and his eyes trembled.
"However, Chang Sui Ning must also be very confused about the principle that the enemy is outnumbered. You can go in temporarily today, but when you attack again tomorrow, will Bianzhou not have enough power to resist?"
Under Hu Lin's command, the two Tou Pang Ye under the city tower had also completed their equipment and were aiming at Gong Guojun's tanks.
There were no chariots rushing forward again. The same thing that time was that those chariots were equipped with ladder frames for climbing.
After half a day of fighting, I have already figured out Hu Min's character. This kind of person has no righteousness in his heart, but he will die for righteousness.
Pang Yebi hurriedly swung his sword to fend it off, while slowly reining in his horse and moving forward. Seeing that the opponent was about to shoot another arrow, Hu Lin tried to stop me, but I did not turn the horse's head, and turned back to the military formation of Pang Ye's small army in embarrassment.
Governor Hu was very slow to issue orders to adjust tactics.
"Tong Hao, Chang Sui Ning, you are not using this to force the villain to open the city gate, you are just reminding me." Hu Cishi said: "Although I am a rough man, my actions are not unreasonable..."
The battle was bloody and tragic, but neither side dared to stop.
"Besides this, you can make a promise to Chang Sui Ning in public. Today, the seven of him and you will fight. If Chang Sui Ning wins, you will immediately send an order to attack Bianzhou, and guarantee that you will definitely attack Bianzhou again within ten days -"
However, a sound like a sigh escaped from Hu Lin's tightly closed lips and teeth.
The so-called transaction basically requires me to exchange prisoners in the city, and the situation that countless people in Bianzhou and my Hu family will face in front of me serves as a "reminder", so that I must carefully consider it.
There is no seemingly meaningful persistence. The reason why we still have to hold on to it at all costs is because once these bottom lines are broken, the world and people's hearts will fall into an even smaller abyss.
"Chang Sui Ning." Pang Yeyi raised his head slightly, looked at Hu Lin below through the firelight, raised his hand and saluted, and said: "Duan was lucky enough to see the capabilities of the Bianzhou Army today -"
"General Duan..." Shi Angbi came to the side of Governor Hu. He looked up in shame and raised his hand: "I am capable, but I failed to persuade Hu Min and others."
The crossbowmen who were placed in the archery tower were all selected from a hundred. We shot arrows accurately. No one in Pang Ye's army fell down one after another very slowly, but almost instantly no one came to replace us.
At this moment, there was not even a trace of certainty wavering in Hu Lin's heart, and there was no voice in her heart asking me - is it really worth it?
One after another, the oil tanks shattered, and as the kerosene flowed, the generals below the tower gave orders to shoot flying fire.
At this time, the man saluted Hu Lin on his horse. His expression was complicated, but his voice was loud and authentic: "Sir, General Duan has come with 50,000 elite troops. He will not stop until Bianzhou is defeated today! Please put your own and Bianzhou's safety at your disposal.
For the most important reason, I have ordered you to open the city gate and welcome Gong Guojun into the city!"
Seeing that the fire was getting smaller and smaller, and thick smoke was billowing up, Gong Guojun was almost able to continue the retreat.
Hu Cishi ordered a temporary offensive, allowing the small army to retreat temporarily, and sent someone to send a message saying that he wanted to talk to Hu Min.
Pang Yeyi said, "No wonder."
Even though Hu Min's skills are inferior, compared to Hu Cishi who has reached this day through his military exploits, the gap between the two sides is obvious.
"Shi Angbi, his father and mother are still in the city, but his grandson..." A military general beside Hu Lin was furious. When he was about to continue greetings, he was interrupted by Hu Lin raising his hand.
Hu Lin followed my gaze and saw hundreds of people being escorted off. We described it as a mess, but Hu Lin and others still recognized them at a glance as our Bianzhou defenders!
Some Gong Guojun soldiers, after being injured and falling, would even use their utmost strength to drag up the Bianzhou defenders below with the ruthlessness of dying together.
Hu Lin's voice was deep and deep: "He and 70,000 rebels stood on the city of Bianzhou, but he asked you to put the safety of Bianzhou first. How absurd is that."
Such a method of siege is destined to pave the way with human lives. Those Pang Ye soldiers were not afraid, but they dared to advance, but they did not grit their teeth and charge.
When the gap under the Bianzhou city wall was about to be opened, Hu Lin ordered the soldiers to throw the two trucks of kerosene transported up to the city tower together with the oil tanks.
Huge boulders were thrown at the Bianzhou city tower. Some of them hit the bottom of the city tower, hitting the buildings under the city tower and the Bianzhou defenders. Some of them hit the bottom of the Bianzhou city wall, and some of them hit the top of the city wall. With the deafening roar,
There was a loud noise, the boulder burst into pieces, and a muddy pit was created under the city wall.
"Yes." Governor Hu was angry when he saw it, so he just said: "You are talking to someone, and occasionally count."
The praise and blame in those words was clear. Seeing the war drums beating again below the Bianzhou city tower, the enemy's morale boiled as the drums ended, and Governor Hu raised his hand to give an order.
Seeing that Hu Lin was speaking, a military general with red eyes knelt down on one knee and clasped his fist heavily: "You villain! I am willing to follow the villain to defend Bianzhou until the end!"

.
"I promise he's useless!" said the general beside Hu Min: "What Duan Shiang said is no different from farting!"
"Aim at our slingers and crossbowmen! Fire arrows! Slow down!" the Bianzhou garrison general commanded in a low voice.
Governor Hu wanted to kill me through this, and it wasn't even a hidden trap.
While Hu Cishi was speaking, his eyes were only looking at Hu Lin's.
I think I am destined to wait until the regular season comes.
Moreover, Jiangdu Army and Fan Yang Army have not yet mobilized their troops. Based on my rough estimate, Jiangdu Army is expected to arrive within ten days... After that, I must get through Bianzhou before I can take control of Henan Road and expand as much as possible.
The strategic deterrence range is small, and the possibility of being besieged in Luoyang is avoided when fighting Pang Yeyi.
Is it really worth it if they are invaders from an alien race and they are all the people of Xiaosheng and are fighting to this point?
Hu Lin's face, who had been silent all this time, finally changed. I tightened my grip on the knife in my hand and said word by word: "General Duan, are you using the people of Bianzhou to force you to wait?"
As the name suggests, it is like ants that have specially attached themselves to the city wall and are constantly climbing and gnawing at it.
It was very slow and not many people knelt down: "The general and others are also willing to follow the villain and wait until the last moment!"
Very slowly, Governor Hu, escorted by a group of elite soldiers, hurriedly drove his horse to the top of the city tower.
There was almost an open space above the city wall, filled with corpses of soldiers from both sides.
The consideration in Governor Hu's mind was to capture Bianzhou City as soon as possible at a greater cost.
In that battle, the former Bianzhou soldier died under the sword of Duan Shiang. Most of the more than 10,000 Bianzhou defenders suffered casualties, and the rest were all made prisoners. Gong Guobi was among the prisoners.
Although I am good at martial arts, I am a general who is used to fighting. The situation in front of me had little impact on me.
But now it seems that he has obviously chosen to defect to King Fan Yang.
While the general was speaking, the arrow in his hand had already left the string.
Those prisoners of war alone were enough to make Hu Lin shaken, but since the battle so far, Hu Lin must have no longer cared about whether he could hold Bianzhou City, so Governor Hu chose to push out the prisoners of war at this time for the sake of gain.
Give Hu Lin a push.
Just now I asked myself, is it worth it?
Seeing the almost fatal fighting style of these Bianzhou defenders and their morale never being lowered, Governor Hu frowned slightly.
There was no general at the bottom of the city who asked, "President Hu, what does he mean?"
This is a plain without many rocky mountains, so the stones I prepared for this trip are not very few. In addition, Toufanyang was destroyed a lot. It seems that it is possible to break the city by throwing stones today.
If Bianzhou defends the city like this, I'm afraid it will take eight attacks to capture it, and every casualty will be a price.
"He, my father, will be out of breath!" The general suddenly drew his bow and nocked an arrow: "I went to the back of his house to rob his family of food and property, and to destroy his children, men, wives, and mothers. Instead, I told him
If you have to follow the small trend, then his useless good-for-nothing will really kneel down and open the door for me!"
"Young man..." Shi Angbi's expression did not show any embarrassment for a moment, but he still handed over his hand again and said in a low voice: "We have seen a small trend, and I hope that the villain can adapt to the small trend! To avoid unnecessary casualties!"
Looking into Hu Jishi's half-smiling eyes, a burst of sadness and anger burst out in Hu Lin's heart, which immediately dissipated the wavering feeling just now.
Due to the advantage of defending the city, at least half of these corpses belong to Gong Guojun.
Before estimating the distance, all units quickly lined up and formed their respective positions, immediately ending the ferocious siege operation.
Under the attack of arrows below, less than half of us fell on the way, but the rest of us continued to follow, roaring and rushing down behind the chariot.
The Bianzhou crossbowmen outside the archery tower fired arrows one after another at the Gong Guojun who were manipulating stones and giant crossbows.
The firelight was scorching cold, but Hu Lin's whole body was cold.
How could Hu Lin be a like-minded person?
The crossbowmen, on the escort of the shield-bearing soldiers, fired their crossbows at the bottom of the city wall.
These Pang Ye soldiers holding shields quickly rushed down and retreated.
Governor Hu looked at the color of the vermilion cloak at the bottom of the city tower from afar: "The small army is still changing its position after the city is invaded, then Hu Lin can be regarded as a person."
When that tactic reached the forefront, what the siege party climbed down from the tower was not even a ladder, but the corpses piled up by their companions.
When fighting under the city tower, there is no limit to the location and space. Installing two Tou Fan Yang is the limit.
Those people were the captured soldiers of Bianzhou who later fell into Duan Shiang's hands.
As Governor Hu gave the order, the military formation in front of me ended and moved out quickly and disorderly.
This type of climbing and siege tactics is rarely called "ant attack".
Pang Yejun, whose body was on fire, was screaming and crawling on the ground, or running to his companions for help. Being burned to death was far less terrifying than being hacked to death with a knife.
No wonder even if you continue to throw stones at the same pit, you still see signs that the city wall has not been destroyed.
As Pang Yeyi spoke, he looked back in front of him and said, "Duan just wants to make a deal with Chang Suining."
But at this time I have no answer, it's worth it.
Before that, there were horses pulling chariots rolling in, the chariots were downloaded to Fan Yang, and the crossbows were fully equipped.
"Duan suspected that Chang Sui Ning did not have the courage to fight to the front, but Pang Yeyi had never thought that if Bianzhou resisted like this, the Gong Guojun in front of you would be aroused with anger. When we retreated from Bianzhou City...
..." When Hu Cishi finished speaking, he paused for a moment, looked at Hu Lin across the firelight, and said: "That account will probably fall on the people of Bianzhou."
Seeing Pang Yeyi looking at the pits under the city wall of Bianzhou, Shi Angbi explained: "...Bianzhou was hit by floods one after another, and the bottom of the city wall was damaged. Hu Lin had people rebuild and strengthen the city wall, and at that time it was
I got a blueprint from Pang Yeyi, and the city wall seems to be stronger than what I saw..."
Even though everyone around Hu Min expressed their approval, Governor Hu was certain that Hu Min would agree.
Not one Gong Guojun successfully climbed down the tower. Hu Lin slashed them to death with his sword. He looked up at the city and saw that the incoming Gong Guojun was decreasing instead of increasing, like a small and sparse ant colony.
When we finished, no one climbed down the ladder frame, and no one borrowed the climbing rope and quickly climbed to the bottom of the city tower. The Bianzhou defenders kept slashing with swords, stabbing with spears, and kept repeating
In the act of killing.
Therefore, Governor Hu wanted to minimize delays here, and the next best thing was to capture Bianzhou as soon as possible.
If Hu Min agrees, it is obvious that those prisoners of war will appear.
"For a person like Chang Sui Ning, Duan really wanted to ask Yiqi for advice in person." Hu Cishi said: "Those captured soldiers were Duan's pretense of inviting Pang Yeyi to teach him."
When the kerosene met the fire, it burned with a "boom". The fire spread slowly, almost using the corpses of the soldiers above as fuel, and quickly ignited into a sea of inferno.
How can we say that that coercion finally showed its fangs?
The infantrymen held shields behind them. When the shields fell to the ground, they were closely followed by the crossbowmen. We hid in front of the shields, knelt down, stabilized our bodies, and shot arrows from the gaps in the shields.
While the two sides were fighting calmly, the Bianzhou defenders stopped and no one was hit by arrows and fell down, or screamed and fell onto the tower. But those who were still alive could barely make it in. Amidst the rain of blood and corpses sprayed by their companions, we
Previously, seven Gong Guojun chariots and two crossbows were damaged by the troops who were borrowed from Fan Yang, and eight were transferred from Fan Yang.
"Little man... are you the opponent of Governor Hu?" Under the city tower, no military commander loudly persuaded: "That must be a trap set by Governor Hu!"
