When hundreds of soldiers from the Qingmu Camp set up the huge catapult cart, the thick incense in the incense burner a hundred meters away from the gate of Yuncheng had just burned out. The soldier turned around and walked back without stopping for a second.And the catapult immediately showed its power, not giving a second more time to the people who were still watching on the city wall.

During this period, catapults were not commonly used in the Sui Dynasty, but the Persians in the West studied this sharp weapon to the extreme, and people called it the return gun.

Wu Xingzhi had never seen that strange-shaped thing more than a mile outside the city, so naturally he didn't know what that thing was for. When he saw hundreds of thieves assembling huge wooden arms, he thought They were going to build a high platform, and he turned around and sneered at the people behind him: "Your Majesty conquered Goguryeo and built a high platform under Liaodong City to watch the battle. Isn't this thieves afraid of being punished by God?"

It was only when he finished speaking that the incense was burnt out, and the scourge came.

Hundreds of kilograms of boulder roared in, flew from a distance and gradually magnified in the eyes of everyone on the city wall. When the boulder approached the gate tower, everyone finally realized that they didn't know who yelled to run away first. Ah, so the rich families, officials and soldiers on the city wall fled in droves. Unfortunately, it was much too late to escape at this time.The boulder slammed down on a corner of the city gate building with unstoppable power, and half of the city gate building collapsed.In an instant, several of the archers standing on the city gate were smashed into a pulp, and countless people were buried under the collapsed houses.

Even though Wu Shengzhi had already fled a few steps to one side, he was hit on the back by a splashed city brick, and he threw himself forward and fell heavily to the ground. This time he was defenseless, so the fall was extraordinarily strong He was so kind that his face hit the ground hard, and two of his front teeth were broken by the hard city bricks.

As half of the city gate tower collapsed, a huge burst of smoke and dust quickly covered this section of the city. People could not see what was around them in the dust, and some timid people rushed forward but deviated from the direction directly The city wall fell down. Although the city wall of Yuncheng was not very tall, it was more than two feet long. The person who fell from the top only had time to subconsciously yell the word ah in the air, and then slapped heavily on the ground below the city, convulsing a few times. After it was lowered, it stopped moving, and it seemed that it was dead.

Zhang Sanheng's luck was better, because he stood back, so he ran much more smoothly. The 60-year-old man showed a speed ten times faster than conquering a young girl, and ran away with the hem of his official uniform.Although they were not hit by bricks, rocks and debris, they were also submerged by the surging dust. When the dust fell, how could they tell which was which?One by one, they got up from the ground with ashen faces, and all their bright and beautiful clothes were covered with a layer of earth.

This blow knocked out the three souls and seven souls of the people on the city wall, and in the panting, I don't know how many souls returned to their places, and how many souls were still floating in the air, unable to distinguish east, west, north, south .Maybe someone's soul meets another's soul in mid-air, and the two will shake hands in mid-air to rejoice that they didn't die.

This kind of power cannot be resisted by manpower at all. The county soldiers standing on the city wall shouted and ran away with their heads in their hands. Even the people who were far away from the city gate were so frightened that they threw away their bows and arrows and fled back. Who cares? Is the governor's life and death unknown?

Wu Xingzhi was dazed for a while when he was hit by the broken brick, and finally stood up staggeringly, but was trembling with fright at the scene in front of him. Half of the city gate tower collapsed, and the injured county soldiers fell on the broken bricks. Wazhong's wailing sound was as shrill as a night ghost crying, and the big stone was pressed against the side of the city gate tower, with two human legs protruding from below, but they were already motionless.

Looking for Zhang Sanheng and others again, I saw that those people had already run tens of meters away and stood gasping for breath. There was not a single soldier left by my side and I didn't know where they had fled, but Wu Shengzhi didn't remember it at this time. Concerned about the subordinate's death, he sighed and finally understood why the gang of thieves were so passive and calm. They only asked if they were ready and said nothing, and then set up a censer and waited for the thick incense to burn out.

The thief has such means, why can't he break through the gate of Yuncheng?

It turned out that the gang of thieves had already planned to come to such an earth-shattering showdown, but it was a pity that I didn't know it and even looked at him with great interest.After thinking about all these things, Wu Xingzhi felt a sharp pain on his face, not because of embarrassment, but because he fell too hard.He raised his hand to touch the sore spot on his face, but was surprised to find blood on his hand.

After settling down, someone finally remembered that the governor of the county still didn't know where he was, so someone started to shout: "Where's the lord? Save the lord!"

Hearing the shout, Wu Xingzhi opened his mouth and cursed angrily: "I'm standing right here, can't you blind dogs see me!"

After yelling, Wu Xingzhi felt something was wrong besides the pain in his mouth. He stretched out his hand to touch it and found that the front teeth had disappeared.

It's no wonder that everyone couldn't see him. At this time, the people on the city wall were all ashamed, and everyone was covered with a thick layer of dust. Who could tell who was who?Hearing Wu Xingzhi's furious scolding, several relatives hurried over to help him, Wu Xingzhi angrily shook off the hands of those people, but suddenly his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

"A thief...how could a thief have such a weapon against heaven?"

At this time, he gradually stabilized, but his face became more and more ugly. Recalling the moment when the boulder fell just now, the feeling of fear in the back was actually stronger than when he watched the boulder fall.

Just at this time, another team of cavalry was separated from the troops of Juyeze Yanyun Village outside the city, led by the person who called out before, and this team of cavalry flew to stop not far from the city gate. The man shouted again at the top of his voice: "My general asked, is Mr. Wu ready?"

……

……

Pei Shisheng and four or five wealthy households in the city walked out of the city gate tremblingly under the protection of more than a hundred county soldiers. Although there were people around them to protect them, none of them felt at ease. Only by supporting each other can we move forward. If there is a fight, I am afraid that the hundred and ten people will not be enough for Yanyun Village.

After all, Pei Shisheng was a person who had seen the big world. He took a few deep breaths as he walked, forcing himself to calm down a bit. At the same time, he was sorting out his words and thinking about how to speak when he met the head of Yanyun Village.It was just that they were not far from the city gate when he was disturbed by an irritable voice behind him. When he looked back, he found that the people in the city had actually closed the city gate.Even though he was recuperating in the city, he couldn't help scolding a bitch, but he didn't know whether he was scolding Zhang Sanheng who ordered the door to be closed in the city, or whether the whole city was full of bitches.If it is all over the city, I don't know how many dog ​​fathers have been offended.

Seeing that the city gate was closed, even the more than a hundred county soldiers couldn't help cursing.

Zhang Sanheng stood at the dilapidated city gate, looking at the backs of Pei Shisheng and the others with compassion in his eyes.

"Good journey, gentlemen. I will offer you all a stick of incense and a jug of good wine on this day in the coming year."

He thought so in his heart.

The crowd walked more than 100 steps away from the thief's army formation, and suddenly the thief's middle army formation was opened, and hundreds of heavy armored infantry came to meet them with orderly and heavy steps.Everyone was too frightened to go any further, and stopped tremblingly to watch the group of heavy armored infantry approaching.Especially among the more than a hundred county soldiers, some of them subconsciously touched the horizontal knife at their waist, some backed away in panic, and some simply squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Hundreds of heavy armored infantry stopped in front of everyone and separated into two rows, orderly and solemn.The leading lieutenant stepped forward, glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and then ordered loudly: "Come and unload your weapons! Those who talk to my general come with me, and those who have nothing to do are waiting here!"

With this tiger shout, the sound was as loud as a thunder.Without even thinking about it, those county soldiers untied the horizontal knife at their waist and threw it on the ground, and then Sa Yazi ran back for two or three hundred meters before stopping to look this way.At this time, they didn't care about whether they lost the court's face when they unloaded their weapons after being frightened by the thief, and it didn't matter whether they lost face or not.

Pei Shisheng and the others fearfully followed the school lieutenant into the army formation of Yanyun Village, and saw a few people sitting in front of them drinking and laughing.Those few people were talking and laughing happily, and they didn't even look over here.

Pei Shisheng took a closer look at the main seat, but saw a handsome young man who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, sitting there in a green shirt. The closer he got, the more frightened Pei Shisheng became, thinking that this Yanyun village The head of the family is too young, although it is rumored that this person is so old, but Pei Shisheng has never believed that the leader of tens of thousands of thieves is actually a young man who has not yet reached the weak crown.

This young man had delicate features and a calm expression. He was chatting and laughing with others in a low voice, sitting there casually, but there was an inexplicable power that made it difficult to calm down.

When Pei Shisheng and the others approached, Li Xian turned his head to look at them and smiled at Tie Liaolang and the others: "If you are full of wine and meat, go back to the camps, and you will attack the city soon."

The four Iron Wolf Luo Fu got up and saluted, then turned and walked towards their own camp.

"Pei Shisheng, Yuncheng, I met the general!"

Pei Shisheng was even more horrified when he saw that all the generals under the young man's command were brave and sturdy, but he respected the young man so much.He stood a few meters in front of Li Xian, bent down to salute.

Li Xian glanced lightly over Pei Shisheng's face, and seemed to sigh slightly.

He stood up and pointed to Pei Shisheng and the others, "Find some stools for the squires to sit on."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Pei Shisheng was stunned, and looked back at the few people behind him. They also didn't understand why, and their faces were blank.

Not long after, a few soldiers moved stools to stand beside Pei Shisheng and others, and Pei Shisheng and others hurriedly gave way
