Standing on the tower, Baixiqiao put the longbow aside, raised his arms and moved his shoulders. The bow was really heavy, and it took him ten percent of his strength to shoot just one arrow.

When Tang Ling ordered someone to make a long bow, Baixiqiao was still confused. What's the use of making a bow that only he can draw?

But now when he thinks that Xu Zheng's face must be full of colors, he feels that this bow is so damn good!Work hard!

Bai Xiqiao looked at Tang Ling, and met his smile.

It was the first time that Baixiqiao saw Tang Ling wearing armor. He was obviously a weak and thin person, but he was able to support the armor weighing dozens of kilograms. The light shining on the silver armor seemed to come from Tang Ling's bones. It flashed out.

Years ago, when Bai Xiqiao and Qi Xiao were running around in the mountains and in and out of the fireworks and willow alleys, they occasionally joked with each other and teased each other about what kind of wife they would marry in the future.

Qi Xiao couldn't help snorting softly, and a very disdainful sentence slipped out from the corner of his mouth, "It's all just fooling around".

At that time, Qi Xiao didn't care, neither did Bai Xiqiao, anyway, if Qi Xiao really likes it, just bring it back to the palace, it's no big deal.

But at this moment, just for a moment, Bai Xiqiao looked at Tang Ling, but thought, it can only be him, hey, the only person who can stand beside Qi Xiao is him, no one else can.

It's not good enough for a good match.

It is impossible for Qi Xiao to be fooled.

Tang Ling walked towards Baixi Bridge and Lu Xiulin, before he could speak, Lu Xiulin said, "The tower is dangerous, please stay away, my lord."

Tang Ling smiled: "Since I came with you, I will stay with you."

Tang Ling glanced at the endless Xu Zheng's army outside the city gate. He had no strength to restrain a chicken, so it was all he could do to make plans. In a real fight, he was a burden, but he had to stand here now, to stand here for Qi Xiao.

The [-] soldiers of the Dingyuan Army changed the flag of Qinglang, and they all knew that Qi Xiao was not in the city. They came with Qi Xiao, but they were left here.

They don't understand any strategy and strategy, they only know how to abide by military orders, if Qi Xiao asks them to guard, they will risk their lives to guard.

Baixiqiao is a hero who has inherited his father's will, and Lu Xiulin is a calm veteran, but the backbone in the hearts of the soldiers is the Ninth Prince who was born out of nowhere and shocked the sky.

Not only the Qi people believe this sentence, but also the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army believe it. If it is not the God of War who descended from the sky, how could they pass through the frozen Fenglin Mountain? Step into the founding of the country for a hundred years and have never been to the state of Qi?

If there is anyone who can temporarily act as Qi Xiao's sea-fixing needle for Bashan, it's not Baixiqiao, not Lu Xiulin, but the one who has exhaustive strategies, frequent intrigues, and is protected by the Nine Highnesses like pearls and treasures, the son of Marquis Xun'an... Tang Ling.

Since Tang Ling, a scholar, dared to stand on the city tower to meet Xu Zheng's [-] troops, he was confident. These soldiers who practiced every day and held swords and guns, did they have any reason to shrink back? !

"General Bai and I will guard here, and General Lu will guard the north gate."

Lu Xiulin nodded in response to Tang Ling, and led the generals around him to the north gate in a hurry.

Xu Zheng was stuck in the south of Bashan for less than half a month, no matter how long it was enough time to divide his troops to bypass Bashan and attack from both sides from the north gate.

Today's match must be a bitter battle.

Xu Zheng has lived and died countless times on the battlefield, how could he be afraid of such an arrow from Baixi Bridge? !The more they used this bluffing method, the more it proved that Chen Jun's troops were insufficient and he dared not fight at all.

Xu Zheng raised his arms high: "Beat the drum! Siege the city!"

Xu Zheng's army invaded Bashan like a swarm of locusts, and the chariot approached a hundred feet before Baixiqiao ordered to open the city gate.

Fast horses, cavalry, the scene just now appeared again, but the number of people was more than double that of just now.

The defenders of Bashan suffered from starvation for a month. They were weak and unable to resist. They were tied by the reins, and some even fell off their horses because they rushed too fast and were dragged all the way. of.

Xu Zheng ordered to shoot arrows to kill, even if he knew it was his own, he had no choice now, if he retreated, he would resist the order.

Xu Zheng's army didn't stop at one step, and just overpassed the corpses of their companions and approached the city gate.

Standing on the tower, Baixiqiao saw the right moment and let out a loud shout: "Shoot the arrow!"

Thousands of arrows were shot at Bashan City Pass, swish, swish, swish, swish, and the rain of arrows fell rapidly, the shield could not hold back a few arrows, and many of Xu Zheng's vanguard troops were killed or injured.

The drums of war continued, and the Qi army continued to replenish and continue to attack the city.

"Rocket ready! Release!"

"Ahhhh!"

"Boom! Boom!..."

"Fire oil!!"

Rockets are much more powerful than arrows. What's more, Tang Ling ordered people to tie kerosene cans to the bodies and horses of those Bashan defenders. On shoes, boots and trouser legs, once the rocket lands, it will be hell on earth.

Xu Zheng looked at the Bashan City Pass behind the raging fire and billowing smoke. He had already suffered heavy losses before he even touched the city wall!

Bashan is the most important city gate in the northern border of Qi State. The city is fully equipped with saltpeter and kerosene enough to throw them for ten days and half a month. of.

Xu Zheng clenched his fists tightly: "Ming Jin retreats! Withdraw!"

Tang Ling watched Xu Zheng's army retreat slowly, and tilted her head slightly.

Baixiqiao laughed loudly and walked to Tang Ling's side: "Xu Zheng has retired.

It was much easier than I thought. "

Tang Ling shook her head, "It shouldn't be so easy.

It won't be this easy either. "

"Huh? Isn't it all back?"

"Continue to defend the city, let the brothers not relax."

"know."

"What happened to the North City Gate?"

The soldier who sent the message from Baixi Bridge asked.

Xiao Bing replied, "General Lu is still fighting."

Bai Xiqiao said: "I'll go and have a look."

"No, you have to stay here.

There should not be many Qi troops at the north city gate, and they won't last long. "

Baixiqiao was a little puzzled, so he didn't show politeness to Tang Ling, and asked directly: "If I were Xu Zheng, since I was in the middle army to attack the south gate, I would let the army go around and focus on attacking the north gate.

Isn't it right? "

"It's right to make a lot of noise.

However, there are only Xingtian Pass and Jialin Pass to the north of Bashan Mountain, and there are many mountains and forests. It is not easy to go around Bashan Mountain. , cannot last. "

"It's true... the license from the south of Bashan can still go to Qinzhou, Xianzhou, and Luzhou to adjust grain. If the army goes around to the north of Bashan, it will be unsustainable. The dumplings are stuffed."

The Baixi Bridge was cleared at one point, but immediately another problem arose: "But before you said that Xu Zhan would not attack Bashan because he wanted to wait for the Dingyuan army's reinforcements to go south. He can stop and annihilate them. Reinforcements, sooner or later, have to surrender.

So how can Xu Zheng's army stop it if it doesn't go around to the north? "

Tang Ling laughed, and Bai Xiqiao knew that he had asked a stupid question. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have opened his mind: "Oh! I know! The miasma forest in the north!"

Tang Ling nodded and gave Baixiqiao a look of approval.

Xu Zheng has always been scheming, and the northern border of Qi State is his territory, so he is most handy in ambushes, without a large army, a few thousand people entering the miasma forest is enough for Chen Jun to drink a pot.

"Tsk, isn't General Chen dangerous?"

Tang Ling looked at Baixiqiao and couldn't help laughing. Xu Zheng was right in front of her eyes. Baixiqiao was still worried about Chen Heng and Dingyuan's army, but she really didn't pay attention to the [-] troops.

"Don't worry, Xu Zheng is cunning. Chen He, Han Chaosheng, and Yan Zhaonian under him are all capable, but these people are no longer there. Chen Heng has been the commander of Dingyuan Army for many years, and he has also made a lot of military exploits in Liaoshan County. After a long battle, he will naturally be able to deal with those weak Qi troops."

Bai Xiqiao nodded and let out a long sigh of relief, isn't it.

"Don't relax, the permit will come and go again at any time."
