Xu Sheng didn't know the girl in green very well, and he didn't even know the girl's name. However, the experience between the two of them was destined to be something they would never forget in their lifetime.
Although the girl in green was curious about Xu Sheng and wanted to dig out his secrets and pry into his secret treasures, she had absolutely no malice. Instead of being disgusted, she also had a vague liking for him.
After all, it is the invisible "things" that fascinate people, and the naive boy will never be annoying.
Knowing that Xu Sheng was in Zhiyang City, the girl in green couldn't help but tighten her heart. His eyes looking at Yan Shaoguang were even more filled with resentment.
Deep resentment.
The army rushed to kill, eager for a spark; the sound of shouting to the sky and drinking from the earth filled the sky.
"Fire the bow!"
Xu Sheng stared intently and was hesitating when Lieutenant Li spoke up. As a veteran, he was very confident about the range of bows and arrows. Based on the wind force and direction, he would issue orders immediately when the enemy entered the attack range.
"Brush! Brush! Brush!"
Arrows are falling like rain.
The eight hundred archers nocked the arrows, then drew the bows and let go, then drew the arrows and loaded the bows again. This process repeats itself over and over again, and the movements are extremely fast!
The arrows kept coming and the sound was quite loud.
The Jokhang sergeant who rushed to kill him was not fully prepared and did not have heavy armor due to Yan Shaoguang's shareholder. For a time, he suffered heavy casualties.
After about two thousand people fell, the rest did not dare to rush forward!
The piles of dead bodies are shocking to anyone looking at them.
"waste!"
Yan Shaoguang cursed angrily, and was about to use the "Jinghong Sword" to kill people and supervise the battle, when he suddenly heard the sound of violent shouting.
"Get out of the way and let grandpa come!"
The sound came from the northwest, and a few moments later, a burly man pushed out from the crowd.
No, he was not the only one, there were thousands of big men walking out with him.
They are all half taller than ordinary people, with dark skin and deep eyebrows. Their appearance and size are different from ordinary people, and they have a strong aura of violence all over their bodies.
"People of Wonju!?"
Xu Sheng looked at them and murmured to himself. Others didn't know these people, but he knew them somewhat.
The Jokhang Dynasty is known as Jiuzhou, but there are actually eleven states in total. The ten states known to the world are Zhong, Shen, Jiang, Yong, Qing, Ling, Liao, You, and Zhang and Yue in the south;
Although Di'er is the territory of Dazhao, it is rarely mentioned and is even deliberately erased from the official list!
Xu Sheng would not have known it if he had not read the Classics and History thoroughly.
The place forgotten by the world and deliberately concealed by the imperial court was Yuanzhou.
It is adjacent to Yongzhou and located in the southwest corner of Jiangzhou. It is an isolated area and is thousands of feet higher than the surrounding forbidden land.
The description of it in "The Classics and History" is only a few words, saying that it is an extremely vast, harsh and cold place, with sparse vegetation, but unusually large creatures.
In fact, not only Jozhao, but also all dynasties had a very strange attitude towards "Yuanzhou". They ruled in name but did not interfere in practice.
Now, when Xu Sheng saw the "residents of Yuanzhou", he was also surprised and frightened.
However, before he could immerse himself in surprise for too long, a sense of crisis emerged in his mind. The reality of the situation forced him to become nervous and prepared.
Those thousands of "Yuanzhou people", like ancient giant beasts, resisted the rain of arrows and moved forward indomitably!
They are already rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and coupled with their amazing strength, the armor they wear is three times the weight of ordinary heavy armor.
Not to mention that they can withstand an arrow shot from a sixty-stone bow and a sword wielded with a hundred stone strength!
"Hurry, use beams to block the city gate." Lieutenant Li turned around and shouted, and a hundred people immediately moved.
He had no doubt that the gate of Zhiyang City, which had been in disrepair for a long time, could not withstand the collision of thousands of ferocious beasts.
"The stone is rolling and the wood is rolling! The stone is rolling and the wood is rolling!"
Although Xu Sheng was not a military man, he also understood that since ordinary bows and arrows were ineffective, he could only use more powerful weapons.
As he shouted, hundreds of boulders and logs were erected on the city wall.
"Throw!"
Xu Sheng spoke, and then there was a loud "thunder".
It was not thunder from the sky, but the sound of rolling rocks and trees.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was a shocking sound, accompanied by billows of smoke and dust; when the gray smoke dissipated, Xu Sheng could only see a blur of flesh and blood, and heard roars one after another.
Nearly half of the thousands of "Yuanzhou people" have died!
However, even in the face of such tragic casualties, they still did not stop. The blood further ignited their fighting spirit, and the death of their companions gave rise to their hatred.
Under the stimulation of these two emotions, they completely lost their minds and went crazy.
At this time, if there were "stones and rolling logs", the place would be cleared immediately; but when Xu Sheng looked back, there was no such thing.
It's not that there are no huge rocks and logs in the city, it's just that they are still on the road, and the ones prepared on the city wall will be used up in one wave.
Normally, it would take a lot of manpower to transport one of these large objects. What's more, Zhiyang has been without food for a long time and everyone is weak. Transporting it to the city wall is ten times more difficult than before.
The lack of "stones and rolling logs" not only meant that they were helpless in the face of the "barren people of Yuanzhou"; more importantly, Xu Sheng looked over and saw that the enemy's "siege engines" and "Zongyun Ladders" were ready.
Those gadgets are exquisitely designed and are extremely difficult to break. If it weren't for "stones and rolling wood", they would never be able to shake them.
"what to do?"
Xu Sheng asked, but there is no answer for the time being.
"Hoo-ho-ho-"
The wind is blowing hard.
Xu Sheng's heart also became tangled along with the sound of the wind.
In this season, a rare west wind blows.
The west wind is strong!
The west wind is strong!
Wildfire sings everywhere.
Such a song suddenly appeared in Xu Sheng's mind.
"West Wind...Wildfire..."
Xu Sheng couldn't help but murmur, and then he seemed to wake up, slapped his thigh, and said to himself: "Maybe... it can be a fire attack!"
Yes.
Of course you can use fire attacks. Zhiyang is surrounded by trees. It has been dry for half a month recently, coupled with the strong west wind...
The more Xu Sheng thought about it, the more hopeful he felt.
"If the mountains are burned down, why worry about the crisis not being resolved? But..." Xu Sheng thought about it, but still hesitated.
First, if they were besieged in the city, how could they go out and set fire? Second, if the enemy was not blind, how could they sit back and watch the fire spread?
"It still needs to be considered."
Xu Sheng buried his head. Even though he knew it was difficult, he still had to plan and make plans. Once this thought arose, there was no reason to let it go.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of impact was ups and downs, and hundreds of "Yuanzhou Wastelanders" rushed to the city gate and risked their lives. Five or six hundred people were like five or six hundred bison; under the violent impact, even the city wall shook three times.
trembling.
"Hold on! Hold on!"
Lieutenant Li shouted, even though there were more than 200 people behind the city gate, he still felt uneasy.
Lieutenant Li's heart was under the city gate, but Xu Sheng's heart was hanging farther away.
Four "siege engines" and eight "vertical ladders" were all pulled by human power. Although they were slow, they were moving extremely "firmly".
Under the city, there are "Yuanzhou wilderness people" who are as strong as oxen; on the city wall, if there are no accidents, several wide ladder heads will appear in a while.
Attacked from above and below, it is airtight, and Zhiyang is as dangerous as a pile of eggs.
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"
Xu Sheng screamed three times in a row. At this moment, the enemy was huddled behind the "siege vehicle", and the archers could no longer stop their advance. Yaoyao was hopeless, and all she could rely on was fire!
Not to mention the raging fires burning all over the mountains and forests, as long as the fire crows can be lit on the city gate tower, then even if the "Zongyun Ladder" is built on the city wall, it can stop the charging soldiers.
"Go to every house to find quilts, grab dry firewood from the kitchen, look for oil, look for fire sources, hurry! hurry! hurry! Bring them all to me."
Xu Sheng roared, grabbed the "lowering flag" that had been gathered up next to him, held it in his hands, and stared at it coldly...
"boom!"
After a long time, the white flag (white sheet) actually lit up. Seeing this, Xu Sheng finally took out his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned, then rolled up the "flag" and turned it into a "fireball" toward
