The chariot covered with rawhide was moving slowly towards the foot of Shanggui City.

The chariot has four wheels and no bottom. The ten soldiers in the cart all have swords hanging on their waists. They have their feet on the ground and push the cart with both hands.

The car soon entered the range of the crossbow arrows, and the sound of "Peng Peng" began to be heard. This was the sound of arrow feathers hitting the carriage. The soldiers standing at the front could clearly see the arrow feathers falling continuously. Get to the ground in front.

The further forward, the greater the force of the arrow feathers.

There was a "poof", and less than thirty steps away from the city, an arrow finally shot through the carriage, grazed the face of a soldier, and spattered a line of blood.

The soldier's body tensed up all of a sudden, his eyes looking straight at the arrow, which just missed piercing his head.

Behind the chariot, there was also a wooden chariot. On the wheeled cart, a large wooden board was propped up. The soldiers lowered their heads, hid behind the wooden board, and pushed the cart straight into the city.

The simplest thing is the shield held up by a soldier with one hand, shouting and charging into the city.

Even so, they were still lucky. More soldiers rushed up directly pushing the ladders, and their bodies were directly exposed to the killing range of the enemy's crossbows on the city.

The dense roaring sound broke through the air and shot down densely, with a kind of momentum that blocked the sky and the sun. Coupled with the effect of gravity, bright lights flashed from time to time, falling on the heads of the Han army like a heavy rain.

The Han soldiers rushed forward, and many of them had blood spraying from time to time on their bodies. They still had the inertia to rush forward for a few steps, and then they fell softly to the ground because they lost the support of their strength.

Even after rushing to the city, the simple ladder still couldn't give the soldiers much protection.

Not only did the number of feathered arrows not decrease, but there were also wooden and rolling stones falling from the top of the city.

When the soldier who was halfway up the climb was hit, he screamed in agony, turned over and fell down, leaving a bloody mess.

The very few team members who could bravely go up had just crossed the parapet wall when several spears were fired at them. Before they could see clearly what was on the wall, he was lifted high into the air, and blood sprayed from his body in mid-air, showering him with blood. Blood mist.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

…

While the soldiers were climbing up the ladder, the ram finally found an opportunity and crashed directly into the city gate. The huge logs made of rams hit the city gate again and again, causing countless dust to fly.

It is a pity that the back of the thick city gate has long been blocked with roof beams, stones, logs and other materials.

Even though the stones and wood kept rolling down, the city gate still stood there with no sign of opening.

Instead, rocks suddenly fell down, and some of the soldiers pushing the cart screamed and fell to the ground.

Since ancient times, sieges have always been done by using people to fill the city.

The Han army under the city was not completely powerless to fight back. Someone rolled out a huge oar shield and stood not far from the city. The archers relied on the protection of the oar shield and began to launch their bows.

For a moment, there was a hail of arrows.

Cao's soldiers who were standing at the top of the city shooting arrows were unprepared. Dozens of people had arrow feathers inserted into their foreheads, heads, chests, etc., red and white, and dirt flowed across them. They made a "uh-uh" sound and fell down. On top of the city wall.

What's more, some even overturned and fell directly outside the city.

Most of the arrows shot up from the city walls hit the city wall, were bounced off, or were directly inserted into the wall.

After a while, many places on the city wall were filled with arrows, like a forest of arrows.

Wu Yi stood on a hillside, frowning tightly as he watched the soldiers continue to fall and replace them, suffering heavy casualties and still making no progress.

This city of Guang is indeed a fortified city that Emperor Guangwu sent tens of thousands of troops to attack but failed to capture for several months.

A tributary of the Wei River was diverted to serve as a moat. Now that spring has begun, it is the time when the ice in the upper reaches of the Wei River melts, and the river has sufficient water.

Coupled with the fact that Linwei County was supporting the rear, the defenders in the city had no worries at all and were determined to hold on.

Now after nearly ten days of attacking, the moat was filled in and the city wall was reached, but more than 4,000 soldiers were lost.

Seeing the soldiers charging three times, the ladder gradually being destroyed, and morale beginning to decline, Wu Yi knew that this was the end of the day.

With the sound of gold ringing, the soldiers retreated like a tide.

Cheers erupted in the city.

After a while, the auxiliary soldiers of the Han army came over with empty hands, no weapons, and no armor, and began to silently clean up the corpses under the city, while removing the wailing wounded soldiers.

None of the guards on the city raised their bows to shoot arrows, they just watched with vigilance.

After the Han army's auxiliary troops were cleared, there was still a small pile of corpses piled underneath that had not been removed. This was the result of Cao Jun's unlucky ghosts knocking them down from the city.

So the hanging baskets began to be hung from the city, and Cao Jun sent men to carry back the bodies of his colleagues.

From Wuxiang City in Longxi County in the far west, to Jicheng in Tianshui County, then to Shanggui City, and then to Linwei City in Nan'an, they are all built next to the Weishui River.

At the same time, on the same river, similar situations were happening in Wuxiang City and Jicheng.

Cao Wei's soldiers relied on the city and caused considerable losses to the Han army.

They all know that the longer the delay is, the closer the court's reinforcements will be to a day's journey, which will be more beneficial to them.

One day after Feng Yong left, Ma Su also set out with the goal of the street pavilion. The two armies were connected end to end, like a long snake.

This was Feng Yong's first real attack, and Yuexi's time was only a warm-up to deal with the slave and semi-slave barbarians.

On the other side of Longshan, Zhang He led the same long snake-like team and was advancing rapidly.

The two teams are likely to collide at a certain location and create huge sparks.

Going north from Jicheng to Longshan, there is one place that you must pass through, and that is Lueyang, the east gate of Longyou.

Lueyang is located in Pingchuan and has fertile land. Before Ma Chao invaded Liangzhou, it was a prosperous place.

Later, Ma Chao separatized Longyou, and the gate of Longyou became a place of war. Xia Houyuan passed through this place several times on his way to Long. As a result, Lueyang gradually declined.

Later, Cao Cao moved the people of Hanzhong to Yecheng, Luoyang and other places, and Longyou's vitality was seriously damaged.

In addition, Cao Wei did not have many troops in Longyou. In order to prevent something like Ma Chao from happening again, Cao Wei consciously destroyed some of the strategic places in Longyou that blocked the advance from Guanzhong.

Jieting and Lueyang are all included in this list.

After nearly ten years of recuperation in Lueyang City, there are still not many people living there, and there are not even any soldiers guarding the city.

When the people in the city heard that the Han army was coming, they all came out to greet the king's army with great fear.

Zhao Guangzong immediately stepped forward and saw that there were only one or two hundred people standing in front of the dilapidated city gate of Lueyang. Most of them were in rags. Among them, the one standing in the middle was only slightly cleaner and tidier.

"I see there are a lot of fields in Lueyang, why are there only people like you in the city?"

Zhao Guang got off his horse and asked.

"Back to the general, this Lueyang, the imperial court... no, it's the Cao thieves, there is no county government. In fact, most of these farms are Qingshui, and the big surnames in Jicheng sent people to open up wasteland."

"When I heard that Master Wang was coming, I fled back a long time ago, leaving me and others with nowhere to go, so we respectfully welcome Master Wang."

The old man in the middle had a humble smile on his face, but he couldn't hide his body that was trembling slightly because of fear.

Zhao Guang glanced at the things in the hands of those in front of him, which were just some food and water.

He nodded immediately, got on his horse again, and ordered, "In that case, you must return to the city and are not allowed to go out at will. You can only come out on your own after the army has passed."

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General!"

Seeing that Zhao Guang had no intention of plundering, the people were grateful, put down the food and water in their hands, and hurried back to the ruined city to disperse.

After a while, only three people were left standing there motionless.

The leader stepped forward and showed a waist badge. The guard took it and handed it to Zhao Guang.

Zhao Guang looked at it, threw his badge back, and suddenly asked, "Who has never died since ancient times?"

"You must die sooner or later!"

The person who came answered.

The codes were matched, and Zhao Guang nodded, "How is the situation in the city?"

"Go back to General, everything is normal."

"Is there any response from the front?"

"I just sent a message two days ago."

"That's good, go back to the team. Go to the back and tell everything you know. The steward of the knight's office will record the reward for you."

"Thank you, General."

The three rangers who pretended to be ordinary people all had happy expressions on their faces and saluted with clasped fists.

Today's Hanzhong Nanxiang is a place that longs for in the minds of knights and knights.

I heard that only there in the world can the true style of ancient chivalry exist.

Rangers from Shuzhong, Longyou, Liangzhou, Guanzhong, Jingzhou and other places, as long as they know "Zidian Qingshuang Ji" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they all want to explore Nanxiang.

If the knight does not go to Nanxiang, it is useless to call him a hero.

This sentence has now spread among the rangers in the above mentioned places, and has even been heard by rangers in the Central Plains.

Before Zhao Guang came to guard Ju County two years ago, Feng Yong personally explained that the three places in Jieting, Longkou and Qian County were the top priorities for investigation.

The Nanxiang ranger has extraordinary skills and has traveled for a long time. With Li Yi's mind, how could he miss such a good resource?

These three rangers are just one of the many rangers scattered across the land of Longyou.
