Chapter 148 Surrounded
It rained harder and harder until night, and it didn't stop until night.

The trenches that killed countless Zhou troops before were now filled with yellow muddy water, and all the murderous spikes sank to the bottom of the water, turning into a rolling moat.

Duan Yi stood on the tower, took the drumstick from Su Yun, and beat the war drum vigorously.

Looking around, on the other side of the "moat", there are endless torches, like lit fireflies on the summer field.All Jincheng people know that this firefly can kill people.

The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and they are enemies that are several times larger than the army defending the city.

Duan Yi's drum beat quickly, "If the city exists, the people will live; if the city is destroyed, the people will perish!"

The Jiannan soldiers on the tower followed suit and shouted, "If the city is alive, the people will be there; if the city is destroyed, the people will be dead."

This unanimous shout echoed in the night sky, and until many years later, the people of Jincheng still heard this passionate voice.

"Duan San, why didn't Zhou Jun make any noise at all? I watched Mr. Qi and Mr. Yan, gearing up for a while, but I didn't see anyone coming to the front and shouting... I was so suffocated seeing them scratching their ears. , This is simply that the hero has no place to use his skills."

Duan Yi put away the drum, and listened to the muttering of the young prince Su Yun beside her, but didn't speak to her.

It's not that she doesn't want to answer, it's that she doesn't know what's going on, literati fight wars, they just don't talk about martial ethics!

She was complaining, when she heard the old man Duan Wenchang in the Zhou army's camp shouting, "Don't try to be quick with your tongue, Duan Yi is eloquent and treacherous, don't fall into the trap! Siege!"

"Congratulations to Miss Duan San, who is famous all over the world with her mouth!"

Duan Yi rolled her eyes at Cui Zigeng when she heard Cui Zigeng's sarcastic remarks, "Senior uncle and senior brother are like weeds in winter, they are all useless materials, so naturally the sect can only be carried forward by the younger sister!"

They were talking and laughing, but none of them laughed. They all stared at the Zhou army who was besieging the city.

"Originally, I planned to pour oil before the city gate, but I didn't want a heavy rain, and the fire attack would not work." Duan Yi said, her voice was a little heavy, and the praying man standing beside her patted her on the shoulder .

While talking, the vanguard of the Zhou army had already arrived at the "moat". The row of soldiers standing at the front, with a puff, spread the door panels on top of each other, and instantly erected a row of soldiers. The "bridge".

There was almost no stagnation, and the soldiers of the Zhou army were already approaching the city.Duan Yi waved his hand and said loudly, "Fire the arrow!"

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, and nine out of ten people in the front group were shot dead, but the soldiers behind did not stop, but continued to rush forward, stepping on the corpses of their comrades.

Even though the arrows on the tower were dense and continuous, soon the first wave of soldiers from the Zhou army had arrived in front of the tower.

The climbing ladder hit the city wall with a bang!
Duan Yi's expression froze, and she waited for the ladder in front of her to be full of people, then she shouted loudly and pushed all the people on the ladder down. She glanced out of the corner of her eye, Cui Zi and Su Yun, They were all arranged according to what she had arranged before, and they fought at intervals.

Among the three of them, there were two soldiers defending the city, so far, they were able to handle it well.

"Duan San!" Old Jia beside him blushed.

Duan Yi took a look and saw that an enemy vanguard had already climbed up his ladder.

Without further ado, Duan Yi swung the spear and threw the servant down. Then the spear shook and stabbed towards the climbing ladder next to him. There was only a crisp sound, and the ladder was instantly torn apart and exploded.

Lao Jia breathed a sigh of relief. He was injured a few days ago, and now the wound is about to open again.

"Bring me the hot oil!" Lao Jia said, and the soldier behind him immediately brought him a bucket of hot oil that had just been delivered. He took a deep breath, lifted the bucket, and slammed it down. down.

All of a sudden, there were screams from under the tower.

Old Jiamu put a face on his face, touched the splashed blisters on the back of his hand, turned his head to look at Duan Yi, "Duan San, are you sure that the envoy didn't abandon the city and run away, and will come back to save us? You know, We are not his direct descendants!"

"Look, on this tower, there are only us brothers from Qingcheng Mountain! Even if we all have three heads and six arms, we can't withstand thousands of troops! Bluff is like a paper tiger, and sooner or later we will be defeated .”

Duan Yi shook her head resolutely, "Even if my grandfather abandons me, he won't ignore the people of Jincheng!"

Lao Jia opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, when Zhou Jun under the city tower rushed up like locusts.

Duan Yi has no time for him.

She left Cui Zigeng's side, and immediately went to Gu Shigong's mansion, just in time to see the scout, and rushed into the mansion.The reinforcements have arrived and will attack the city soon.Most of the Jiannan army is on the front line to resist Tubo, and the Jincheng garrison is not too much.

Compared with the Zhou army summoned by the third prince, there is a world of difference in terms of numbers.

If you want to win, you must use ingenious strategies.

After they discussed, Mr. Huang, a counselor next to Gu Congrong, proposed an impossible solution.

Gu Congrong led the army to take advantage of the heavy rain to leave the city, detoured through the mountain road and galloped, and when the Zhou army attacked the city, they circled behind them and killed one by surprise.

Duan Yi led some people to defend the city to attract firepower.

No one has any objection to the dangerous move of soldiers.But the enemy's offensive is too fierce. If the reinforcements do not come for a long time, then sooner or later everyone will be like Lao Jia...

Duan Yi thought, turned her head away, and shouted in a deep voice, "Sir!"

Qi Langzhong shook his head, cursed and walked up with a small flag, "Brother, hurry up, you are not a cripple! Sigh, back then, I was also a kind person with the world in mind and lofty aspirations!"

"Now it's like a magical stick, raising the life-threatening banner! There are spirits in the ancestors, and they must point their noses and scold me. I deserve to pray for my family to have no children and grandchildren!"

He said it heartbroken, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of the flag in his hand.

The old magic stick died a long time ago, and he didn't pass on his merits to him before he died. It is impossible for him to play any tricks of summoning the soul.

But he is a doctor, a doctor who is good at using poison and detoxifying!
He thought about it, and saw that the flag had been facing his face, waiting and waiting, and suddenly, the wind direction of the flag turned, changed direction, and headed outside.

Qi Langzhong was overjoyed immediately, tremblingly picked up a small wooden bucket, opened it to reveal a bucket of white powder, he held his breath, took a spoonful, and poured it downstairs!

Almost instantly, the powder flew towards Zhou Jun downstairs, and in an instant, the downstairs became quiet.
