On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Early morning is when people sleep the deepest, and night attacks often occur during this time period.

Although Lin Zhen has no experience in leading troops in battle, he has read a lot of books!

There are countless TV dramas and movies, and even a fool knows that the best time for a night raid is the second watch.

So he had made preparations long ago and ordered his soldiers to defend the city with full vigilance, including Zhou Ze's cavalry unit.

Just when we were fully prepared, the news came.

The soldiers of Southern Chu secretly gathered on the other side of the river.

"Kill!" Xiang Ying drew his sword while riding on his horse, his long gray hair dancing in the wind, looking very majestic.

The soldiers under his command were also not vague. They carried ladders, held long axes and bows and arrows, and rushed towards Qinghe County as ordered!

"kill!!"

"Meet the enemy!" Mao Mengji waved the flag in his hand.

Thousands of garrison troops arrived at the city wall, and three teams of archers immediately took their positions, aiming at the Nan Chu soldiers who were preparing to cross the river, and fired thousands of arrows!

call out--

"Wow!"

"what!!"

"Don't be afraid! The more you fear death on the battlefield, the faster you will die! Brothers! Follow me!" Yan Wenbao shouted behind him, then clamped his grip on the horse's belly and rode ahead, surpassing everyone.

The horse felt the pain and burst out with unimaginable strength, galloping straight over the river bank! Finally, it landed steadily at the foot of Qinghe City.

"What a good horse!!" Mao Mengji couldn't help but feel envious when he saw this scene.

Even in Daqian, a place famous for producing war horses, it was difficult to pick out such a strong horse.

If I could take it...

"The general is mighty!!"

Seeing how powerful their boss was, the soldiers were excited and charged forward again fearlessly.

Finally, the first wave of archers arrived, followed by the second wave of shield soldiers, and finally the third wave of suicide squads carrying ladders.

Mao Mengji shouted from above, "No ladders allowed to approach. Archers, release your arrows in three stages!"

shhhhh--

ding ding ding-

The suicide squad that attacked this time were different from those in the afternoon. They actually held their shields high while carrying the ladders. The arrows hitting them had no effect at all, and they soon arrived at the bottom of the city wall.

"Da da!"

Two ladders were set up in an instant, with four soldiers holding the bottom one and two soldiers climbing up desperately.

When the soldiers defending the city found that they could not push the log, two of them immediately picked up the thick log and threw it down without even looking at it.

Then several screams were heard.

"what!!"

“My legs, my legs!!!”

Mao Mengji patrolled back and forth on the city wall with a spear in his hand, and shot any Nanchu soldier who came running up.

"Release the rolling logs and boulders!! Archers, keep shooting!"

"Dong dong dong."

Countless heavy objects were thrown down the city wall, smashing the Southern Chu soldiers to pieces. But these people were like chicken blood, each with red eyes, they had to climb up.

"Hold on to your guns! Don't make any openings!"

This time, Lin Zhen did not come to the city wall to command, nor did he ask the soldiers to open a hole.

Across the river, Xiang Ying saw this and immediately shouted, "Get your catapults ready! Siege engines and battering rams, attack immediately!"

Four catapults were operated by soldiers from Southern Chu and loaded with flaming boulders. At the same time, a simple bridge had been built. The siege vehicle, which was almost level with the city wall, moved slowly forward under the push of dozens of soldiers, and the battering ram used to break open the city gate also moved side by side with it.

"All main forces, press forward immediately! Surround and attack from all sides! Don't save your arrows, shoot them with all your might!"

"Dong dong dong dong——"

As the inspiring sound of war drums came, the soldiers of Nanchu became even more crazy.

Countless soldiers swarmed in and headed straight for other city gates.

Although he was well prepared, Mao Mengji was still worried, wondering whether the soldiers at the other city gates could hold on.

After all, there are too many soldiers in Nan Chu!

It seems that Xiang Ying really intends to take Qinghe County in one fell swoop!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Four catapults were launched at the same time, and huge fireballs slammed into the city wall with unparalleled power!

"Wow!"

"what!!"

"Get out of the way!" Mao Mengji was pulled by a soldier and dodged a huge rock with a sway of his body, but saw that the huge rock directly smashed into the city wall, and there was a mess inside.

Fortunately, the catapults were not reloaded quickly, so they still had a chance to catch their breath.

"Hold on and hold on!"

"Throw kerosene!!"

Ten soldiers immediately took kerosene from the corner and threw it down with a crackling sound, and then threw down a few torches.

"boom--"

Kerosene ignited as soon as it came into contact with fire, forming a sea of ​​fire under the city.

On the other hand, the soldiers of Southern Chu still ignored the situation and pushed the siege vehicle under the city wall with all their might.

"Hey yo! Hey yo! Hey yo!" The huge siege vehicle was like a giant. Mao Mengji could even see that the eyes of the soldiers standing on it were bloodshot.

He yelled, "Throw kerosene on the siege engines!!"

"Yes!!"

Another dozen kerosene bottles were thrown over, and then a few torches, and the huge siege vehicle instantly turned into a train!

The soldiers above saw that they could not jump onto the city wall and had to quickly descend.

At this moment, the second wave of catapult attacks came again!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"what!!"

"Wow!!"

Daqian soldiers fell down in large numbers. Some fearless warriors even rushed over to protect their teammates, but were hit by huge rocks and turned into pieces.

Blood mixed with sweat flowed down the steps of the city wall and soon formed a small stream.

Just at this moment, Lin Zhen finally arrived.

He walked through a pool of blood and arrived at the scene, shouting to the twenty soldiers who were tightly holding the city gate: "Open the city gate!!!"

"Ah? Prince!?"

Lin Zhen stretched his neck and his throat almost broke from shouting.

If the siege hammer comes over and blocks the shooting of the Eight Ox Crossbow, we will be doomed!

"Open it quickly!! Don't wait for the siege hammer to come, hurry up!!"

Crunch——

Mao Mengji was on the city wall and had no idea what was going on. Suddenly he found the city gate was open and was shocked.

"Who allowed the gate to be opened?"

“It’s the prince!!”

"What? The prince is down there?"

"yes!!"

"Damn it!" Mao Mengji cursed, and in a hurry he jumped down from the city wall, landed steadily on the steps, and ran downstairs.

But Lin Zhen looked like a one-armed hero, wearing a thin undergarment, with bloodstains on his arms, and holding a small hammer in his right hand, ready to smash the mechanism of the Eight Ox Crossbow.

“Prince!!”

"You've arrived just in time!" Lin Zhen turned around, his eyes bloodshot and fearless. "Command the Eight Ox Crossbows and don't let any enemy in! I'll go to the tower and take a look."

"Prince, you should go back first. With us here, Qinghe will not be lost!"

"Bullshit! The soldiers are fighting bravely in the front, do you think I should hide in the back and act like a coward? Stop talking nonsense and obey orders!"

"I..." Mao Meng gritted his teeth in hatred, and finally nodded in agreement, "Yes! Come, protect the prince!!"

Mao Meng shouted loudly, and immediately more than a dozen soldiers rushed towards Lin Zhen, shouting at the same time.

"Protect the Crown Prince!"

Lin Zhen was surrounded by the soldiers and almost ran up to the city wall together.

When we got here, we found that the city wall that was intact yesterday was now in ruins, with corpses and body parts everywhere. Soldiers rushed up in waves to replace the sacrificed ones.

Lin Zhen drew his sword and shouted, "Soldiers! Reinforcements will arrive soon! Perseverance is victory!"

“Prince!!”

When all the soldiers of Daqian saw Lin Zhen standing with them, their morale was immediately boosted!

"Damn it, the prince's son isn't afraid of death, so why should we be afraid of anything?"

"Brothers, kill these bastards of Nan Chu!"

"Reinforcements are coming soon!"

"For the prince! Damn it!!"

The soldiers regained their vigor, and whether it was bows and arrows, rolling logs, boulders, kerosene, etc., as long as they could defend the city, they all attacked the people of Nan Chu.

At this moment, Lin Zhen saw that the other side of the river was once again densely packed with soldiers.

An old veteran wearing a bright red cape was patrolling in front of the battle line.

If it’s not Xiang Ying, then who is it?

"Soldiers! These little bastards from the Qian Kingdom can't hold on any longer! Commander, attack with all your forces! We must capture the city within one hour!"

"Rush!!"

"kill!!"

The soldiers of Southern Chu rushed across the river one by one. Their expressions and speed made it seem as if they were not going to fight, but to go into the city to play with women.

Lin Zhen gritted his teeth.

It seems that Xiang Ying is determined to fight to the death and capture Qinghe County tonight.

What a pity, your information is inaccurate.

In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless.

“Drum roll!!!”

"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"

The big drum, which had not been beaten for a long time, suddenly started to make loud noises, and the soldiers didn't understand what was going on.

However, someone not far away understood.

.......

Half an hour ago, on the slope of the river bank east of the city.

The scattered large trees on the slope served as the best cover for the cavalry. Moreover, the sky was dim and the moon may have hidden behind the clouds because it did not want to see such a tragic scene.

Liu Miaoyan held a spear in her hand, her expression stern as she stared at the scene of Nan Chu's brazen attack, feeling anxious.

"The enemy is attacking, why haven't you given the order yet? First mate, follow me and charge!"

The first mate said anxiously, "General, no! The prince said we must wait for the drum to sound before we can attack."

"Prince, Prince, your mind is full of the prince, what does he know!?"

"General, even if we don't listen to the Crown Prince, we still have to listen to General Zhou, right? I beg you, please don't be reckless, or you'll ruin your plan!"

"This... humph!" Liu Miaoyan stabbed the spear hard on the ground, as if the bigger thing was Lin Zhen's face that deserved a beating.

You clearly can't fight, but you insist on pretending!

Why don't you just stay home and pick up girls? Why are you causing trouble on the front lines?

Soon, Liu Miaoyan saw a white figure appear on the city wall.

His body was slightly thinner than other soldiers, and his wrists were even thinner and slenderer, but at this moment he was wielding a long sword and fighting with the soldiers defending the city, his posture was very majestic.

The first mate also saw it and pointed at Lin Zhen and shouted, "General, look, isn't that the prince?"

Liu Miaoyan gritted her teeth: "That damn guy! What is he doing rushing up to the city wall? What if he gets hurt?!"

"General, the prince is obviously going to boost the morale of the troops!"

"Bullshit! I think he's just being a hero. If he dies, I won't bury him!"

Liu Miaoyan clenched her spear tightly and murmured, "Lin Zhen, your life is mine. I will never allow anyone to take it away."

In fact, few veterans in the barracks knew about the ridiculous affair between Liu Miaoyan and Lin Zhen. What's more, the first mate had been with Liu Miaoyan the longest and knew what was going on.

He also knew very well that this outspoken and sarcastic heroine in front of him had never forgotten Lin Zhen for a moment, and had never given up her love for him.

What a love-hate relationship.

Finally, just when all the Nanchu soldiers rushed over, the drums finally sounded!

Liu Miaoyan shouted, "Go tell General Zhou the message, and the rest of you, follow me! Kill!!!"
