Chapter 267
Xiao Beiheng, who was leading the attack on the city, was furious when he learned that Shen Yuexi was the main general defending the city.

"Xiao Zhuo is so deceitful that he ordered a woman to defend the city." He pulled out a half-foot swallow, "This is clearly humiliating this son who is not as good as a woman. Order the three armies to capture this city today."

The lieutenants all showed embarrassment, they did not dare to disobey the military order, but Langya Pass is not a city that can be captured in a day.Everyone turned their attention to Song Zhen who was standing beside Xiao Beiheng.

Song Zhen understood, raised his fan and ordered the generals to wait for a while, and said to Xiao Beiheng: "His Royal Highness, calm down, if you can't hold yourself, you will fall into Xiao Zhuo's trick again."

Xiao Beiheng threw the sword back into its scabbard: "Is this Xiao Zhuo's scheme again?"

He had suffered two losses in battles before, and when Song Zhen said it was Xiao Zhuo's scheme, he forcibly suppressed his anger.

Song Zhen asked: "Why did our army come here, His Royal Highness, do you still remember?"

Xiao Beiheng immediately reacted, and said: "The military adviser reminded me that this son forgot on impulse."

Seeing that Xiao Beiheng understood, Song Zhen waved his fan to make the deputy generals retreat, and said to Xiao Beiheng: "Your Highness, our real goal is Xiao Zhuo's food and grass. The siege is only to divert Xiao Zhuo's attention, so that he can't expect our real goal. intention."

"But he actually ordered the woman to defend the city, it's too deceiving..."

Since when did this woman become so outstanding?

The soldiers in King Qi's army began to move slowly, and the battle was about to start.

Now, Shen Yuexi stood on the city wall, dressed in white armor, facing the [-] Qi king army calmly and without fear.

When Shen Yuexi saw Xiao Beiheng riding a horse and circling in place under the city, she was actually quite frightened.But considering that he was the chief general, once he showed signs of cowardice, it would be detrimental to the morale of the army, so he gritted his teeth and stood still until Xiao Beiheng turned his horse's head and left.

After swiping his sword to kill the bandits, he also looked at Shen Yuexi in the carriage like today.

He clearly remembered the first time the two met.

There are mountains on both sides of the city of Langya Pass, and the stones are inexhaustible.

Shen Yuexi had no choice but to point to the tall tower directly above the city gate: "Sister, let's go there now. Feng Zhang has already gone up, and we are directing the battle from the tower."

The real target of the other party is Xiao Zhuo's food and grass.

Later, he met several times on the way, and his deepest impression of Shen Yuexi was that he was able to make trouble, whether it was trying to escape when he was under house arrest, or her inexplicable dance when he hosted a banquet for Xiao Zhuo.

Beside her, Xia Lan saw Xiao Beiheng coming out from a distance, so she knelt down a long time ago, not daring to show her head.Shen Yuexi knew that she was afraid of Xiao Beiheng, so she didn't force it, and said to Shen Lan: "Sister, we will fight later, you go down the city wall first."

Shen Lan looked back, and saw a row of dense black spots suddenly appearing in the blue sky outside, as if countless birds were flying here.

"No, we are few, and the opponent's sergeants have shields on top of their heads." Shen Yuexi looked at Qi Wangjun who was rushing over, and said calmly, "Don't waste bows and arrows, let everyone prepare stones and kerosene. When the opponent started to climb the ladder , smashed it with stones, and at the same time poured kerosene to burn the ladder."

Comparing the hatchback, she could tell the difference.Sure enough, as Xiao Zhuo expected, the opponent was feinting.

At that time, Shen Yuexi's face was half smeared with ink, and her eyes were full of panic, like a frightened small animal, cowering in the corner of the carriage.It fits all his definitions of a woman.

Shen Yuexi climbed to the second floor of the tower and looked down.Arrow Rain's main target is the defenders on the city wall, and she is not in danger here.

Shen Lan looked at the ladders in King Qi's army, which were carried by dozens of people, passed through the gaps in the army and carried them to the front of the formation, and said to Shen Yuexi:

The sergeants guarding the city wall did not wait for her order, they already squatted down and raised their shields at the same time.Countless arrows fell from the sky, and the wooden pillars and window lattices of the city tower made the sound of nails being nailed. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of shining feather arrows were inserted.

She was talking when she heard a cry from far below the city.

"Oh?"

After guarding for half a day, Qi Wangjun didn't even have a single person who climbed the city wall, and retreated after leaving hundreds of casualties.Shen Lan also calmed down, and said to Shen Yuexi: "Sister, defending the city is not difficult."

"Sister, according to the book of war, if the opponent attacks the city with a ladder, they can use fire oil and stones to defend. The city is built on both sides of the mountain, and there are enough stones..."

She had witnessed Xiao Zhuo's attack on Yongwei County with her own eyes, and she felt very similar to that time.

The Xiao Zhuo Army at that time was also like this. It seemed that the momentum was huge, they were firing bows and arrows, and they were swarming up with ladders, but the actual attack was weak, and they didn't have the aura of giving up their lives at all.It was completely different from the Xi Rong army's attack on Ice City. That time there were Liannu to help defend, and the opponent almost rushed up on the road paved by the corpses of their companions.

Shen Yuexi's complexion changed, she pushed Shen Lan's back into the tower, and dragged Xia Lan in again: "The enemy army has started to attack."

"I...I won't go down," Shen Lan turned pale, but refused to leave, "I want to help my sister."

With the help of the cover of the rain of arrows, Qi Wangjun started to move forward with the first batch of thirty ladders, heading towards the city wall.Behind each ladder, there are two hundred soldiers holding shields and swords, rushing towards the city wall like thirty straight snakes.

Shen Yuexi was a little surprised, these people stopped worshiping the statue?
Yang Cong gasped for a while while holding his knees, straightened his waist and said, "Lizheng said that a woman like the Crown Princess cannot be responsible for guarding the city, and called on everyone to deliver the things to guard the city."

The iron hook of the first ladder slammed into the crenel of the city wall, making a loud noise, like two iron fingers hooking on the city wall.The guarding sergeant dodged the rain of arrows, immediately lifted up the stones on the ground, raised his hands and threw them down.

Shen Yuexi smiled and said: "Tell everyone to pay attention to the arrows, don't show their heads on the city wall, only carry stones, and the wounded will do."

He snorted coldly, turned his head and returned to the formation.

"Mistress, the common people are here to help defend the city," Yang Cong panted and ran up the tower, "They are helping to transport stones and fire oil."

"His Royal Highness," Song Zhen gently pressed Xiao Beiheng's raised hand with a feather fan, "Xiao Zhuo has just summoned the army, and there are no trusted generals around him. The army's attack is by no means an ordinary woman, His Royal Highness cannot be underestimated."

Shen Yuexi leaned over the city tower and looked to both sides, only to see people coming and going on the city wall, and the stones smashed like rain, smashing the Qi Wangjun who dared to climb the ladder to crying father and mother. None of the soldiers.

Xiao Beiheng nodded, and drove his horse to the front of the formation.When the eyes of Shen Yuexi on the city wall met, Xiao Beiheng immediately understood the meaning of Song Zhen's words.

Feng Zhang looked nervously at Shen Yuexi and said, "Mistress, do you want to shoot an arrow?"

Yang Cong said: "Doctor Hua and his son Hua Duoduo have arranged a tent for the wounded in the square in the city. Mistress, don't worry, everything has been arranged."

"Arrow Rain," Shen Yuexi yelled, "Everyone raise your shields."

"Sister, the opponent didn't seriously attack," Shen Yuexi and Shen Lan explained, "If the opponent attacked desperately, they would have attacked the city wall by now."

"Little sister can even see these things?" Shen Lan was quite surprised.

Shen Yuexi smiled, and was about to answer, when a cry of killing came from the southwest of the city, a cavalry stabbed obliquely, broke through the line of King Qi's army, and came to the city.

"It's my lord, open the city gate!" Feng Zhang shouted.
