Lu Xunhuan played the tear-jerking song several times on the city wall.

He then said to the captain, "Make me a trumpet."

He gestured, "This shape can gather sound, so it can shout far. Get it here quickly."

Outside the city, the soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom were still eating dry food.

On the city wall, someone suddenly shouted, "Soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom..."

"Ever since the tyrant Xia Yu ascended the throne, he has been brutal and unjust, levying heavy taxes and exacting heavy levies."

"Your families are suffering and being cruelly exploited by a tyrant. Is it worth it for you to work for such a tyrant?"

"And that Sixth Prince is an absolute devil."

"He colluded with a group of treacherous officials in the court and poisoned the eldest princess."

"He had an affair with the former queen, the current queen mother, and gave birth to Xia Yu."

"Eventually, his son usurped the throne of the Zhou Dynasty."

"Such a traitor and rebel should be punished by all men."

These words were like thunder, echoing far outside the city and leaving Zhou's soldiers stunned.

Lu Xunhuan continued to shout, "General Wei Ying..."

"At that time, he stopped the invasion of the Southern Liang Dynasty and killed 600,000 enemies, making indelible contributions. What was the result?"

"Officers of the Zhou Kingdom, from the generals to the centurions, please think carefully about this."

"What will be your fate in the future if you work for that tyrant and the Sixth Prince, these devils?"

"Wake up! That tyrant and the traitorous Sixth Prince don't even consider you human beings."

"They hastily launched a war against Dongyan. May I ask, are they truly prepared?"

"Do they really think they can destroy Dongyan in one fell swoop? I'm afraid even they themselves don't believe it."

Outside the city, many soldiers asked themselves questions and felt confused.

Lu Xunhuan continued to shout, "Soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom..."

"It is precisely because of the tyranny of the tyrant and the six princes that the internal conflicts of the entire Zhou Kingdom have intensified..."

"That's why they want to start a war to divert the focus of the conflict and stop people from making unnecessary sacrifices for them."

"You guys go back..."

"Go back and raise your arms, mobilize the people of the country, and drive out the tyrant who usurped the throne."

"Punish the traitors, rectify the government, and welcome a wise ruler to the throne, and only then will your family live a good life."

Outside the city, all the generals were about to collapse after hearing this, not to mention the soldiers.

The general sighed again: "We can't let the people of Dong Yan disrupt our army's morale anymore."

Another general nearby asked, "Who is that man on the city wall? How come he knows so much about our Zhou Kingdom?"

The general stood up and said, "What's wrong with him fabricating this to undermine our army's morale?"

Another general said: "But General Wei Ying..."

The general shouted, "Stop talking! Send the order to attack the city immediately."

Outside the city, torches flowed like a sea, and the troops quickly gathered.

Soon after, everything was in order.

Lu Xunhuan put down the loudspeaker and spoke to the captain.

"The enemy is afraid that I will destroy their morale, so they are going to attack early. You command the soldiers to fight bravely, and I will pretend to be the masked man."

A quarter of an hour later, catapults were in position in all directions outside the city.

A firework rose high into the sky and exploded with a bang, which was the signal for the entire army to attack.

A moment later, the catapults began to throw stones.

On the north city wall, the soldiers looked through the gaps in their shields and saw stones and fireballs raining down in the firelight.

The captain shouted, "Hold on."

"Boom..."

With loud bangs, stones and fireballs hit the shield, making everyone's arms numb.

On the north wall, the enemy's stones were extremely fierce, and the soldiers had a very hard time resisting.

At this moment, Lu Xunhuan took the loudspeaker and sang "Man Jiang Hong".

"The flowers are in full bloom... Leaning on the railing, the rain is coming to a stop..."

……

When the soldiers heard the lyrics, their blood boiled and their courage increased a hundredfold.

No matter how many stones or fireballs hit, it seems that it doesn't matter.

We must use our flesh and blood to build an iron wall and stop the enemy to the death.

The situation was difficult at the north gate, but much better on other sides of the city wall.

Because there was a slope outside the city, the catapults could not climb up and the range was not enough.

Most of the stones fell below the city wall and did not hit the wall.

Therefore, the attack will be much smaller.

In the city, the people were carrying water and food, waiting to deliver them to the soldiers at any time.

When I heard Lu Xunhuan singing "Man Jiang Hong", I couldn't help but learn from him.

At first, only a few people followed suit, and later, everyone followed suit.

Soon, everyone formed a chorus behind the soldiers.

Continuously ignite the blood of the soldiers and add courage to everyone.

Outside the city, after a fierce barrage of stones from the catapults, the general waved his hand and said, "Charge."

The loud trumpets sounded and the war drums rumbled.

The soldiers carried ladders, pushed battering rams, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the city wall from all directions like a tide.

On the city wall, the soldiers of Dong Yan removed their shields, drew their bows and went into battle, looking towards the full moon.

In the blink of an eye, outside the north gate, Zhou Guo’s soldiers had rushed to the city.

Above, the captain shouted, "Release!"

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap and arrows rained down.

Under the city wall, people and horses were thrown to the ground.

But the war drums were still beating, and the soldiers at the back grabbed the ladders, lifted them up, and continued to charge forward.

Under the rain of arrows and after heavy casualties, a ladder was finally hooked onto the city wall.

Below, soldiers, holding shields and braving a hail of arrows, began to climb the wall.

But the arrows from above are fierce and often come from different angles.

Many soldiers blocked the arrows above their heads, but could not block those from the sides. They were hit and fell from the ladders.

But they kept charging forward, one after another.

In the direction of the north city wall, a lot of ladders were gradually hooked on the wall, and Zhou Guo soldiers continued to climb the city.

In the other three directions, the offensive momentum was greatly reduced.

The soldiers carried ladders and pushed battering rams, climbing the slope with difficulty.

By the time they got close to the city gate, they had already exhausted a lot of their energy.

Above the city wall, the soldiers of the Eastern Yan State fired fiercely, making it almost impossible for everyone to move forward.

The soldiers pushing the battering ram suffered too many casualties, and the heavy battering ram could no longer be controlled and slid down the slope.

Later, he ran faster and faster, rushed into his own team, and injured many soldiers.

Lu Xunhuan covered his face and ran quickly around the city wall.

Not only was it to observe the enemy situation in all directions, but he also appeared with his face covered on purpose, making everyone think that the extremely powerful masked hero had arrived, giving everyone confidence.

To the north, soldiers from the Zhou Kingdom came in waves.

Finally, many soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall and were engaged in close combat with the soldiers of Eastern Yan.

Trying to gain a foothold and cover the subsequent soldiers to keep up.

But at this moment, a masked man appeared.

He held a steel knife in his hand and ran on the battlements of the city wall as fast as lightning.

In a moment, the Zhou soldiers who had climbed onto the city wall were killed one by one.

The pressure on the soldiers of Eastern Yan was greatly reduced.

On the city wall, soldiers kept falling like sandbags, and they were piled up in layers below the wall.

The battering ram at the north gate had already been pushed under the gate and was about to hit it.

Above, suddenly, straw, kerosene and torches were thrown down.

In an instant, the entrance to the north gate was blocked by raging fire.

The soldiers retreated hastily with their shields, but the battering ram remained in the center of the fire, burning.

The battle lasted for an hour, with no progress on any side.

Outside the city, countless soldiers have died.

When General Zhou Guo saw this situation, he hurriedly ordered his troops to withdraw.

After the enemy retreated, the soldiers of Eastern Yan State quickly took action, pulled all the ladders to the top of the city, seized them as trophies, and sent them into the city.

When the people saw that the fighting had stopped, they hurried to bring water and food to help the soldiers replenish their strength.

Outside the city, after the army retreated, the general asked, "Our army is several times larger than the enemy's, why are we still unable to climb the city wall?"

A general reported: "It seems that the enemy has experts guarding the city wall."

The general shook his head and ordered, "Count the number of people and report the casualties."

On a high mountain in the north of the city, Yan Bei, with hundreds of soldiers, quietly hid on the mountain and watched the fierce battle.

He was quite relieved to see that the enemy's attack on the city failed.

"Send the message, reinforcements, come as fast as you can, day and night."
