I do research in ancient times

In the early morning of the second day, the dark Hu Qi set off from the old capital quietly, and charged towards Donglai City with killing intent all the way.

They attacked the city three times and lost three times. They almost became the demons of King Zuoguli.

But this time, he felt very hopeful.

After all, there is only one Feng Kai in the Feng family, and it's not like the army has never fought against the Feng family before. It's true that they are not afraid of death, but it's not to the extent of trapping each other and calculating every step of the way.The Black Armored Army is indeed brave and good at fighting, but with Feng Kai and without Feng Kai, these are two different things.

There was news from Ding'an City that many people saw that Mr. Feng carried the coffin out of the city with their own eyes, and they were determined not to be mistaken, which made him more confident.

Full of confidence, King Zuoguli personally led the army all the way, and it only took half a day to reach the city of Donglai.

In less than a month, the city wall of Dongnae has changed greatly. The wall stacks that were damaged due to repeated siege battles have all been repaired, and the outer layer has been coated with mud that I don’t know what kind of mixture. It looks neat and strong. .

"These business people are diligent, and they repaired the wall so quickly, isn't it fake?!"

King Zuo Guli heard the lieutenant under his command muttering like this, but he felt a vague uneasiness in his heart.

The battle between the two armies was very fierce before. It is said that the boy of the Feng family even pulled out a huge cannon to bombard the city. The people behind the wall did not know how many people were killed, let alone bricks, tiles and stones.

But the wall in front of me is indeed surprisingly good. Even if the owner is proficient in handicrafts and hardworking, repairing the wall requires burning bricks and ramming earth, which is definitely not so fast.

fake?

Although he had doubts in his heart, King Zuo Gu Li didn't dare to hold him accountable.

He came out this time with the belief that he would win, and pulled a lot of building cars and rush cars from the old capital.Donglai City does not occupy a large area, and the consumption of the frontier army's last battle is not small. Even if there are soldiers to replenish this month, the scale of the city is destined to be impossible to be too large, and it has the conditions to kill with one blow.

King Zuoguli was not idle this month. Before Sima Liang abandoned the city, there were many craftsmen left in the old capital. These people were gathered together to build buildings and carts, and the parts that were damaged under Donglai City before were returned to blood. Not a lot.The post-production building car was also improved according to the characteristics of Donglai City. The outer layer of cowhide was removed and a stronger iron plate was used. In order to improve the dexterity, the load was reduced, so that it could rush through the shells and approach the city head more quickly.

The dead must die. After all, the artillery of the frontier army is an insurmountable obstacle, which can only be filled by human life.

But as long as a building car leans against the city wall and occupies the fort at the top of the city, it is equivalent to tearing a gap in the defense of Donglai City, and the pressure of following the charge will also be reduced.

"Form up immediately, listen to my order to attack after the assembly is complete, I will catch him by surprise!"

When King Zuoguli gave an order, the army of tens of thousands of Hu cavalry spread out silently like ghosts in the night.When the sky just broke dawn, six giant building carts had already stood in front of the formation, waiting for Zuo Wang's order, and immediately raised their knives to fight.

woo-woo-woo-

The low-pitched horn sounded in the wilderness, one after another, startling countless birds in the forest.

The murderous intent could no longer be concealed, and the moment the horn sounded, the torches under Donglai City suddenly lit up.

The king's flag with the wolf's tail fluttered violently in the wind. King Zuoguli raised the bone in his hand and let out a shout. The giant building car at the front of the array moved in response to the sound, and the speed was much faster than before!

The next moment, there was movement at the top of Donglai City.

Dozens of rifled guns sprayed out long tongues of flame, and countless shells fell from the sky, laying a net of death on the only way the giant building car must pass.

Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom—!

The three giant building vehicles rushing to the front were instantly blown to pieces, but three more rushed through the firepower net while the rifled guns were filling the gap.It's just that before the people in the car were lucky enough to escape, they felt that their feet were empty, and they and the car fell into a huge pothole.

The pothole is so big and deep that it swallowed half the size of a giant building car. The most unlucky thing was Hu Bing on the lower floors, who was broken and vomited blood, and those who died were directly stabbed by the cement at the bottom of the pit He crossed the line, struggled a few times and then lost his breath.

The sudden change frightened the cavalry who charged behind them.Some were too late to collect the horses and fell directly into it, and some narrowly caught the galloping horses, and Donglai City was in chaos.

"The enemy is in range, the archers are ready!"

The guards at the lookout post put down their binoculars and waved semaphore towards the archers at the top of the city.

The lieutenant of the Bow and Arrow Battalion looked at the lieutenant, and the lieutenant nodded.

"Fire arrows!"

With one order, all arrows were fired.Arrows rained down on the ground, and Hu Qi, who was blocked by the trap, had to raise his shield to defend.

However, the shield can only barely protect the vital points, and the horse under the crotch can't take care of it.Soon a horse was shot by an arrow, kicked indiscriminately in pain, and did not listen to the command of the knight on its back.

Soon, some people and horses fell into the pit together, and became fellow travelers in Huangquan together with the comrades in the building car.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Ye Hu, the former soldier, waved his bones to drive away the soldiers under him, while roaring at the top of his lungs.

King Zuoguli personally came to the front of the battle. The Xihu army is bound to win this battle. As Zuowang's confidant, he must not add obstacles to the Lord at this time. Even if it is filled with human life, he will rush to Donglai City!

"Rush over! Avoid those pits! As long as you get close to the city wall, those artillery can't do anything to us!"

"Charge! Charge!"

Ye Hu, the former army, was red-eyed, and he rushed forward with a horse, intending to lead the people behind him to the city in one go.

It wasn't that he was reckless, the pit was an obstacle to the building chariot, but it couldn't stop the agile cavalry.

As long as his horse control skills are superb enough and he pays attention to dodging, it is still possible to rush all the way to the city wall.

Ye Hu, a former soldier, was very confident in his equestrian skills, but he couldn't handle it. The defenders of Donglai City had been prepared for a long time, and had laid a net against the cavalry early in the morning.

I saw that Hu Qi, who was at the front of the first rush, suddenly became short, and fell into a new trap with his horse and man.In fact, this can no longer be called a pit, but a deep and wide trench with cement spikes inside, and there is no way out if you fall down.

Ye Hu, the former soldier, was also blocked by the horse pit, and watched helplessly as a brother of his own clan died at the bottom of the pit, so angry that he nearly vomited blood for three liters!

How cunning these businessmen are!She used all sorts of tricks, and didn't dare to fight him openly!

In this way, he was more and more sure that Feng Jiazi was not in the city.

In the past, when the army attacked the city, although the Feng family had many means, he did not shy away from confrontation between the two armies. Unlike today's situation, it is completely playing tricks!

Ye Hu, the former soldier, cursed and ordered the cavalry to retreat in unison.

Although the horse trap dug by the industry is long, its width is not particularly large, at least it can be crossed by horses sprinting at high speed.

It's just that there is still some distance from the city, and I don't know how many traps are ambushing ahead, so it's better to be cautious.

He picked up a few riders with excellent riding skills, and ordered them to be the vanguard, to test the pits ahead.

This was an errand to die, but several people accepted it gladly.According to the rules of the Xihu people, the first person to reach the enemy's city in a siege battle is a first-class military exploit. Although this trip is dangerous, once you pass it by luck, you will have the capital to be there.

The few people riding their horses took a few steps back, and were about to sprint over the ditch, but at this moment, the city of Donglai moved again.

"Rocket Battalion, let the arrows go!"

The lieutenant gave an order, and countless flaming arrows rained down from the sky.

All the Hu Qi yelled and raised their shields. As a result, the rain of arrows crossed a beautiful parabola in the air, and then fell precisely into the trench. The next moment, heat waves rose and flames shot into the sky.

"what!"

The front army was in a state of confusion, and finally managed to control the startled horses. Only then did Ye Hu, the front army, discover that there were not only spurs at the bottom of the trench, but also thick black sticky kerosene.

"Fire oil?!"

Ye Hu screamed, his eyes were about to bleed.

How can the industry have kerosene!Fire oil is obviously a fetish bestowed by the gods on Ximo Zhihai, and it can only be found in the extreme northern desert. Where does the fire oil in Donglai City come from! ?

The Hu people who acted as forwards were also taken aback.

No one knows fire oil better than the Xihu people. It is a strong thing, and it is difficult to extinguish it once it gets on it, and it will never die.

The fire oil was flowing, and as soon as the rocket came out, all the trenches around Donglai City were ablaze.Black smoke billowed from burning kerosene, making it difficult to see the trenches and the road ahead, and there were sharp spurs hidden in the fire, so how could you charge! ?

Seeing that the attack was blocked, the former army Ye Hu had no choice but to take back the troops, and went to the central army to report the situation to King Zuoguli.

Zuo Wang was naturally furious.

The people of Xihu have a bad temper and like to fight directly and directly. Although these small tricks can't decide the overall situation, they also make people feel uncomfortable like eating flies.

"Fire oil?! Where did the industry get the fire oil?!"

He asked the same question as former soldier Ye Hu.

The Holy Witch of Huo Lei thought for a moment.

"Most likely they stole the treasure mountain of the gods."

He paused, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Didn't the false lord of Mozong befriend the Donghu people? Donghu's territory is close to Hexa City, so it could be said that the false lord sent the Donghu people to steal the gift of the gods from Keten Mountain."

"If the king had acted earlier and annexed the three tribes of Donghu as I said, then there would be no follow-up troubles."

When he said this, King Zuoguli took a look at him and stopped talking.

The Huolei Holy Witch did mention this, but at that time he didn't want to be under his command in everything, so he took a long time to do it, and unexpectedly met Mo Zong's son and went to Hexa City.

Fortunately, when the fire oil is always burned out, as long as the fire oil is dry, the army can move on.

In the end, he still underestimated the "cunning" of the industry.

The trench is winding and winding, and it actually leads all the way to the city of Donglai.The frontier army sent special guards, and once the kerosene ran out, someone would immediately pour in new ones. The billowing black oil seemed to be free of money, and it merged into a special moat around the city. It burned for a full day and night and still hadn't recovered. signs of a pause.

It was so easy to wait until the next evening when the black smoke under the city began to dissipate. King Zuoguli, who was full of anger, ordered people to gather troops and horses and spread out the formation. Take Donglai City in one breath!

He was secretly exerting his strength, when suddenly there was a rapid sound of horseshoes behind him.

A soldier was drenched in blood, galloped to the front of the battle, and rolled to the ground before he had time to get off his horse, without a sound in an instant.

He also held a parchment scroll in his hand, with the paint seal of the emergency military newspaper sealed on it.King Zuogu Li opened the scroll, and his face changed drastically after he glanced at it. His eyes were full of shock and resentment when he looked at the city of Donglai.

——Feng Kai led the Black Armored Army to attack the old capital overnight, because the large army set out to conquer Donglai City, the city's defenses were empty.In the middle of the night last night, a hundred artillery pieces of the Black Armored Army attacked the eight city gates. The defenders could not resist the attack. Although they fought hard, they were defeated, and the old capital fell!

It turned out that the previous burning of fire oil was to delay time and stabilize his army under the city of Donglai, and then the Feng family led troops to dig out his hometown!

Why go back to Ding'an City for the funeral, personally carry the coffin back to Jiuling City...Yongxiguan is thousands of miles away, how can it be reached in a day?I can't even fly back, that "Feng Kai" in the city is probably a fake!

But this "fake" made him play around, and gave up the old Beijing base camp for no reason, and went out to attack Donglai City, leaving a gap in the rear.

With the old Beijing gone, he had no place to stay in the Central Plains.The Feng family occupied the old capital, most likely they will not stop here, they must return to the division and encircle with the defenders of Donglai City, while he has nowhere to stay on the way, he will consume his combat power and catch him all in one go!

There are only two paths before King Zuoguli.

Either give up Donglai City and return to Nanzhao immediately, relying on natural dangers, first occupy a camp where you can recuperate, and then try to turn around later.

Either desperately try to take down Donglai City before Feng Jiazi's transfer, but the north and south of Donglai City are under the control of the frontier army, and it is really not an ideal place to operate.

If you hesitate any longer, the encirclement circle of the frontier army will be closed. At that time, you will be trapped in the gentle battlefield between Donglai and Jiujing. .

King Zuogu Li held the parchment in his hands, countless thoughts passed through his mind, his throat smelled of blood.

"Feng Kai, Feng Kai!"
