As soon as he finished asking, he saw many soldiers of the Suiyang Army on the city wall, looking down at the city with their heads raised, and he made some guesses in his mind.

When he stepped forward, he pushed aside a few soldiers and took a look outside the city. Sure enough, he saw Chen Shou fighting with a Wei general under the city.

"General Wei's strength is pretty good. He can actually fight on par with that guy Chen Shou..."

Huan Hu muttered a bit in surprise, frowned and asked: "Then what is General Wei's background?"

As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers with knowledge on the left and right replied: "It's the vanguard general of the Wei army, Meng Luo."

Huan Hu tilted his head and thought about it, but he didn't have much impression of this Meng Luo.

However, he was not surprised by this. After all, the world is so big that those who are famous may not be worthy of their name, and those who are unknown may not be true heroes.

For example, Chen Shou was initially just an uncle of Zhongyang's "Yang Wujun", but in fact, his martial arts were even better than Huan Hu's.

Seeing Chen Shou and Meng Luo fighting each other single-handedly in the city, Huan Hu scratched his head and felt a little anxious in his heart.

Huan Hu attaches great importance to Chen Shou. After all, Chen Shou's military force and ability to kill generals and capture the flag on the battlefield are definitely no less than those of the ten North Korean tycoons in South Korea. If such a strong general unexpectedly

If he died in battle, he would almost die of regret.

However, he also understood that Chen Shou, like Jin Gou, was on the same side as Huan Hu for a certain purpose. He and Chen Shou were not in a superior-subordinate relationship. Therefore, even if he ordered Chen Shou to retreat into the city at this moment,

Chen Shou, who fought under the city until he got up, may not obey his instructions.

Fortunately, Chen Shou indeed had talents that Huan Hu valued. Gradually, Meng Luo, who was fighting against him, gradually slowed down the speed of his attacks and the strength of his attacks. So after a while, Chen Shou gradually gained the upper hand.

.

But think about it, although Meng Luo is known as the most powerful general under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, this guy is already over fifty years old after all. How can he compare to Chen Shou's youth and vigour?

No, not long after, Chen Shou caught the flaw and shot him on the shoulder, almost knocking him off his horse.

"Oh!" The morale of the Suiyang army on the city tower was greatly boosted, and they all cheered for Chen Shou.

However, the vanguard of the Wei army outside the city panicked, and a group of guard cavalry rushed up, trying to force Chen Shou back and rescue Meng Luo back.

"These are shameless people." Huan Hu curled his lips in the city and cursed disdainfully.

On the other hand, Chen Shou was very calm. He waved his hand to stop his subordinates who were about to rush up to rescue him, and took the initiative to ride back on his horse, thus avoiding a melee with the Wei army.

When the Wei army rescued Meng Luo, he also ordered the soldiers in the city to open the city gate and return to the city.

When Chen Shou returned to the city gate tower, he was surprised to see Huan Hu, wearing only a thin coat and with his chest and abdomen bare, leaning against the wall with his back, his hands and elbows supported on the wall, as if

She looked at him with a smile, and said, "Congratulations to General Chen for returning victoriously."

Chen Shou raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "There is nothing to congratulate for defeating an old man who is over fifty years old... That Meng Luo is very impressive. If he were twenty years younger, I might not be able to hurt him."

After that, he glanced at the Wei army outside the city and murmured: "I have never heard of such a fierce general."

After hearing this, Jin Gou explained: "Meng Luo is the most powerful general under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang. However, like his master, he was exiled by the king of Wei when he was in his prime. Exiled

For seventeen years..."

"No wonder." Chen Shou suddenly realized.

At this time, Huan Hu had turned around, looked at the Wei army outside the city, touched his chin and chuckled: "Wei Jun just arrived, and you disrupted his position..."

As he was speaking, suddenly a dignified look flashed in his eyes.

Because he suddenly saw a line of gray faintly appearing on the horizon in the distance. Immediately, this line of gray quickly expanded into a gray area. Then, he gradually became able to see clearly that countless Wei troops were rapidly approaching.

Coming towards Suiyang.

In this army, a flag of "Wei, Nanliang Marquis" can be vaguely seen.

"Isn't he the King of Nanliang?" Huan Hu muttered strangely.

Jin Gou explained calmly: "Because he was involved in the rebellion of the three kings, he was deprived of the title of king by the prince Zhao Run."

"Damn it!" Huan Hu cursed quite depressedly. Except for Jin Gou and Chen Shou, almost no one understood where Huan Hu's anger came from.

The reason is that Huan Hu originally wanted to "abandon darkness and join the light" and become an official in Wei State by killing Nangong Yao, but the Wei State court refused to forgive him because he had attacked the camp of Wei King Zhao Yuansi. But now, the Wei State court has

He forgave "Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang who was involved in the rebellion of the three kings", which made Huan Hu feel very angry.

At the same time, Nanliang Marquis Zhao Yuanzuo and General Pang Huan had led the Chinese army to arrive outside Suiyang City.

Suddenly, they heard that Meng Luo was injured in the shoulder by a thief general under Huan Hu during the battle in front of the battle. Both Zhao Yuanzuo and Pang Huan, the Marquis of Nanliang, were very surprised.

You must know that although Meng Luo is already over fifty and his strength is far inferior to that of before, ordinary people are still no match for him.

Thinking back on the "Wei-Korean Northern Border Battles", more than twenty young Korean generals were killed by Meng Luo. They can be regarded as a model of old age and strength. Unexpectedly, they would be killed by a young general in Suiyang.

The thief will be wounded.

"If the vanguard loses, this battle will be difficult to win..."

Pang Huan squinted his eyes slightly and frowned slightly.

When he saw the towering city walls of Suiyang County, his frown deepened.

You must know that Suiyang is not an ordinary city and county. It was once the royal capital of the Song Dynasty. The city wall was originally much higher than other counties. In addition, Nangongyao was later increased in height and reinforced over the years. To capture such a strong city, it was difficult to conquer it.

It's not easy to tell the truth.

After thinking about it, Pang Huan decided to wait for the secret weapons from the army to arrive before attacking the city.

Seeing that the Wei army outside the city had not taken action, Huan Hu, Chen Shou and Jin Gou were all very puzzled.

They hoped that the Wei army would immediately order an attack on Suiyang County, so that they could use this strong city to severely defeat the vigor of this elite Wei army. In Huan Hu's view, this was also an excellent opportunity to defeat those who had once conquered him.

Those blind-eyed Wei court officials who took the initiative to surrender and refused to enter the country, take a look at what Huan Hu is capable of.

Unexpectedly, the Wei army outside the city was unusually calm.

"What are they waiting for?" Huan Hu murmured.

It didn't take long for a large number of carriages to arrive in the distance. Immediately, war weapons that looked like trebuchets were quickly assembled among the Wei army outside the city.

"It turned out to be waiting for siege weapons."

Seeing this, Huan Hu crossed his hands and grinned: "Trebuchet? Hey!"

Even if Huan Hu was not from the Lu country, he would definitely be familiar with long-range siege weapons such as trebuchets and catapults, because these are siege weapons that all countries in the Central Plains would build.

But to be honest, the role that this type of siege weapon can play in siege warfare is actually very small. The reason is that the hit rate is extremely low.

Therefore, once trebuchets or trebuchets appear on the battlefield, hundreds of them are often dispatched, using sheer numbers to pile up the possibility of hitting, while the Wei army outside the city only has a dozen or so.

The threat to the city wall is almost minimal.

Just as Huan Hu was secretly laughing, a roar suddenly came from his ears.

"Boom——!"

"..."

Opening his mouth, Huan Hu, who had folded his arms and was about to watch the Wei army busy outside the city, slowly turned his head mechanically and stared at the city wall on the right side of the city gate tower with his mouth open.

I saw that at the city wall thirty feet away, a stone as big as a millstone smashed into the wall stacks, and the two Suiyang soldiers who could not escape were smashed into the inner city wall.

"What's going on?"

"Hit the first time?"

Including Huan Hu, almost everyone on the city wall was stunned.

"Boom——!"

There was another loud noise, as if the entire city wall was shaking.

Huan Hu immediately poked his head out and saw another boulder as big as a millstone. After smashing a spiderweb-like crack into the outer wall of the city wall, it fell to the ground below the city with a loud bang.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Looking up at the trebuchets in the Wei army, Huan Hu's eyelids twitched, and he had a vague premonition.

But at this moment, there was only a roar, and most of the city gate tower collapsed, burying more than a dozen Suiyang soldiers who could not dodge in the rubble.

Even Huan Hu was left behind by those rubbles and was in such a sorry state.

"Three bullets hit..."

Wiping the dust from his face, Huan Hu said angrily: "This is not a fucking trebuchet at all!"

His guess was correct. The weapons used by the anti-rebel forces were of course not trebuchets, but the latest siege weapons developed by the Smelting Bureau - ballistae.

At the same time, Nanliang Marquis Zhao Yuanzuo and General Pang Huan also looked at Suiyang City in the distance with solemn expressions, secretly shocked in their hearts.

"It's unbelievable." Witnessing soldiers with no operational experience, three cannons destroyed the city gate tower in Suiyang County, even General Pang Huan couldn't help but exclaimed: "If you get this artifact, you will be the best in the world."

The city walls and fortresses have all become decorations..."

"..." Nanliang Marquis Zhao Yuanzuo moved his lips slightly, but said nothing.

But in the bottom of his heart, something that Prince Zhao Run once said to him suddenly came to mind.
