Shao Guan's face turned cold, and he immediately returned to the camp, mounted his horse, and ran towards the north wall.

There is still a hundred steps away from the city wall, and you can clearly hear the screams of killing and the harsh sound of weapons and knives colliding.

Going up the city wall along the slope, the guarding soldiers rushed forward one after another, hurriedly running.

Stones, grease, and arrows were delivered to the edge of the city wall on a pair of dark hands covered with calluses, and they slammed at the Wei soldiers who were attacking the city along the ladder.

"My lord, there are too many soldiers attacking the city!"

Shao Guan heard the shout and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.

Murong Xing stood at the front, also holding a longbow in his hand, his handsome face was stained with blood at this moment, it was particularly eye-catching on the jade-colored skin, adding a bit of coquettishness and coldness for no reason.

"Where's the grease? Pour it down the city, bring the torches immediately!" Murong Xing shouted hoarsely.

Immediately, a messenger ran towards the rear, passing military orders along the way.

Shao Guan helped the soldiers pass supplies along the way, and when he squeezed to the edge of the city wall, his black hair was a little loose.

He finally had a clear view of the scene below the city.

Wei Bing's dark black armor formed a large black tide, and the several feet high city wall was covered with ladders. Each Wei Bing held a long knife and climbed towards the top of the city with a ferocious face.

Murong Xing looked back at the time when he was holding the arrow, and at a glance he saw the young man who was passing something by his side, his phoenix eyes flashed coldly in an instant.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here? You don't even have any armor on, why don't you go back quickly?" Murong Xing grabbed Shao Guan's wrist and ordered the guards beside him, "Bring His Highness the Crown Prince back to the camp immediately!"

Before Shao Guan could speak, the soldiers shouted loudly from behind: "Your Majesty! The grease and torches are here!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Shao Guan broke away from Murong Xing's hand, turned around and took a large bucket of grease: "Is there any reason not to go to the front line when you are in the army? Murong's son can come here, why can't Gu?"

The young man's hands were stained gray with grease and stones, and his fair face was covered with sweat beads, which seeped into the skirt of his clothes along the lines of his cheeks.

As the crown prince of Liang, the young man who was pampered in Chang'an City had never been to the front line of the battlefield, but his eyes were dark and shining, stubborn and serious.

Murong Xing knew he couldn't stop him, so he had to ask his personal guards to take care of Shaoguan's safety and command the soldiers defending the city.

"Pour out the grease and light the fire!"

After hundreds of torches were thrown down, the scarlet tongues of flames jumped up suddenly, like a few huge fire dragons, soaring in the air for a few moments, suddenly connecting into a large sea of ​​flames, spreading rapidly along the poured grease to the bottom of the wall.

Jiayuguan was built as an important military fortress in the northwest when it was first built. The stones used in the city walls are made of special craftsmanship, which are strong and fire-resistant.

As soon as the fire light rushed into the vast sky, Wei Bing, who was climbing the ladder, let out bursts of screams like howling ghosts and wolves.

Shao Guan's dark eyes reflected the bodies struggling and howling in the flames, and he watched them turn into charred corpses and fall down like birds with broken wings.

The flames distorted the air, and the heat wave rushed to the face along with the wind, making people almost unable to open their eyes.

It was obviously a cold winter day, but the city wall was as hot as a scorching heat in the sea of ​​fire, and beads of sweat were dripping down, but no one cared about it.

The burning smell of the corpse and the hot breath of the flames merged together, making him almost sick.

It's just that although Huo Gong suppressed Wei Bing's offensive very effectively, the amount of oil was small and burned extremely fast. Wei Bing quickly gathered a large group of troops and rushed towards the city wall.

"Your Highness, son, the archers are changing their arrows. Wei Jun is afraid that he will use a catapult, so go back and hide for a while—"

Yao Feng was worried about the safety of the two of them, so he specially selected capable personal guards to follow them.

The guard had been in the frontier for several years, and he had already figured out the way to attack the city. When he saw the catapult of the Wei army pushed forward by the soldiers in the distance, he was shocked and immediately reported it.

"Shieldmen step forward! Archers put on arrows and shoot immediately, no need to wait for orders!"

Murong Xing pushed Shao Guan to the back, and the guards were quick to pull him back.

Sporadic arrows continued to shoot down the city, but they didn't buy too much time, only a loud "bang" sound was heard, and several huge stones ignited raging fire and crashed towards the city wall.

Each of the three rows of shieldmen held a high shield, protecting the soldiers and crossbowmen behind them.

The fireball hit the city wall and made an explosion-like noise, even the ground under his feet shook.

Occasionally, a few fireballs landed on the shield, immediately bringing up a string of bright sparks, and then broke through the resistance of the shield, knocking more than a dozen soldiers to the ground, mouthfuls of blood.

Shao Guan was surrounded by personal guards. He watched Murong Xing dragging the wounded and surviving soldiers back together with several soldiers in the gap where the fireball hit, his eyes seemed to be burning.

The boy's voice was terribly hoarse because of the loud shouting: "The archers shoot arrows in the direction of the catapult, go rescue the wounded, hurry up!"

After an indistinguishable amount of time, the loud sound of the fireball finally stopped.In a trance, Shao Guan felt his ears buzzing and couldn't hear anything clearly.

On the city wall ahead, there were still Wei soldiers rushing towards the top of the city like locusts overwhelming the sky. Once a gap appeared on the edge of the city wall, soldiers would immediately go up to it.

The corpses of dead Wei soldiers under the city wall were piled up high, and the blood that flowed out almost gathered into a small pool of water.

The number of sergeants killed by fireballs and Wei soldiers who climbed to the top of the city was also countless. Shao Guan sometimes had to step on the corpses of soldiers from the girders, go to the city wall and draw a long knife across the necks of Wei soldiers, pushing them down.

The battle lasted for a whole night, when General Yao Feng and several lieutenants brought reinforcements, they saw Shao Guan's uniform was stained with blood, his white face was dirty and messy, and his eyes were red.

Yao Feng tried to persuade Shao Guan to go back to the camp to rest, and then searched along the city wall, and finally found Murong Xing.

"My lord, leave this place to me, my lord, go and rest quickly——Why did His Royal Highness appear here?"

"Your Highness has always been like this, I will take good care of him." Murong Xing took a deep breath, the palm of the sword was a little loose, the tiger's mouth shook a few blood holes, and his voice was hoarse, "Then I will trouble General Yao."

Shao Guan was dragged back to the tent by his personal guards, and the doctor who was summoned carefully examined Shao Guan's injuries, and he was relieved when he saw that they were only bruises and slight flesh wounds.

"Your Highness is fine, but you are a little tired. I will give you some medicine, Your Highness, remember to rest more..."

The doctor took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from the box, and wanted to apply it to Shao Guan's scratched hand.

Shao Guan's eyes were still a little hollow due to fatigue, but when the medicine powder was sprinkled on the wound, he was startled: "There is no need to apply medicine to Gu, the army is in short supply of sore medicine, and Gu has such a small injury, why do you need to use medicine? You step back!"

"This... I was ordered by the general to treat His Highness. Your Highness is a body of a thousand gold, so how can you not take medicine when you are injured?"

"What happened?"

Shao Guan was about to refute the doctor when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the tent.

Murong Xing opened the curtain and entered the tent, seeing the doctor kneeling on the ground, his phoenix eyes raised slightly: "What's going on?"
