Chapter 1010 The war between the two countries begins.

The Great Xia cavalrymen all reined in their horses and retreated. Only to be seen that chariots with tall and strong horses appeared one after another. There was no one on the horses' backs, and soldiers followed by their sides, who were also men of burly stature.

Each chariot was pulled by two horses and the items on the chariot were wrapped in oilcloth.

On the city wall, Erzhu Rong and others looked at the originally dense cavalry, but suddenly countless cavalry gave way, and then dozens or hundreds of chariots appeared, and their expressions froze.

Erzhu Xinxing put his hands on the city wall and asked, "Can you see what that is?"

Erzhubi also lay on the wall and tried to see: "I can't see clearly, but it looks like a big crossbow."

After that, Erzhu Bi clasped his fists towards Erzhu Rong and said, "Brother, let me take some people to try!"

Mo Zhe Niansheng at the side also stood up and clasped his fists: "Brother Erzhu, I am also willing to try his Daxia weapons!"

Erzhu Rong did not speak, his one eye fixed on Daxia in the distance. The double pupils in his one eye were particularly conspicuous under the bright moonlight. However, no matter how bright the moonlight was, he could not fully see what was over there in Daxia.

only

He was Erzhu Rong, a man with the nickname of the Wicked Dragon with Chaotic Eyes given by Shuya Tower. Seeing the Great Xia soldiers stop so far away from them, he immediately said, "Stop now, it's Zongze who wants to use that weapon."

Hearing this, Mo Zhe Dati glanced at where Zong Ze and the others were, then looked at Er Zhurong: "Can we hit them at this distance?"

Erzhu Rong did not answer, but continued to watch what was happening in Daxia.

The dense infantry of Daxia has begun to move, and more and more chariots have appeared in their field of vision. Looking around, it is impossible to estimate the number, but the chariots are arranged in an arc, and the semicircle is facing their Shuozhou Town.

Catapults are usually present during sieges, but there are no catapults in Daxia today, only chariots.

Snap~~

Erzhu Rong clenched his fists: "Let the soldiers with big crossbows get ready!"

Upon hearing this, a special horn was blown by a small flag officer on the side.

Along with the horn, all the Mobei crossbows on the huge city wall made clever sounds one after another, and arrows as thick as iron spears shone coldly in the moonlight on the crossbows.

Mobei has always had only the advantage of cavalry, but since the previous king of Mobei, Mobei has learned from Daxia and not forgotten to strengthen the cavalry, so it is no longer the so-called barbarians who can only rush around recklessly.

And along with the preparation of the large crossbows, those specially trained sharpshooters with strong arms also stood on the city walls and set up large bows.

Under the city walls, countless sharpshooters are ready.

As long as the general gives the order, the soldiers of Daxia will feel the terrifying rain of arrows.

The Great Xia army was approaching the border. In addition to the most eye-catching golden dragon flag with the word "Xia" in gold, the flags of the legions were also fluttering in the wind.

Swish!

Everyone untied the oil paper almost at the same time, and tore it apart in unison to reveal the true appearance underneath.

Erzhu Bi saw it clearly, and immediately turned back to look at Erzhu Rong and others: "It really is a big bed crossbow!"

You can look back again

I saw something behind the rows of crossbows, so I couldn't help but wonder: "That crossbow seems different from ours, and what is that black thing?"

Mo Zhe Niansheng frowned and said, "If it were daytime, we would be able to see it clearly."

Mo Zhe Dati looked carefully at Da Xia: "Even in the daytime, we see the same thing."

Erzhu Rong had already raised his hand at this time. The person blowing the horn next to him saw that he had put the special horn into his mouth and was waiting for the general's hand to fall so that he could blow it immediately.

On the Daxia side, the soldiers, who had practiced reloading countless times, were ready.

Even the soldiers on the side of the special large crossbows were ready.

The night wind whistled across the grassland. Even though summer was approaching, the temperature difference between day and night on the grassland was very large, and it was already chilly.

Zong Ze looked at Erzhu Rong on the city wall.

Chase for hundreds of miles.

When he fought with Erzhu Rong, after his 3,000 soldiers defeated Erzhu Rong's 5,000 men, Zong Ze led the remaining troops to hunt down Erzhu Rong.

But he had clearly caught up with him and even dug out his so-called evil dragon's eye, but in the end he was rescued by someone.

Zong Ze has always kept this matter in mind.

Erzhu Rong must die!

It’s not because of the so-called "the one who disturbs the world with true dragons and the evil dragon of Mobei".

In this vast world, it is not possible for a single person from Mobei like him to cause chaos!

But it was to avenge Zhu Huang.

Zong Ze has been holding this grudge for more than twenty years.

Just today

Zong Ze looked at Huai Shuo and Er Zhu Rong. Personal grudges were no longer important. The city...

In Zong Ze's eyes, it was already a dead city.

Erzhu Rong looked at Zong Ze riding on his horse without any movement, but the special large crossbows and soldiers around him seemed to be ready to move, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He didn't know where Zong Ze got his confidence from.

But I think this weapon must be good. Erzhu Rong is not the kind of person who will underestimate the enemy, especially after hearing Xiao Podi tell him that the Yinshan camp was completely destroyed in an instant with a roar.

Erzhu Rong became even more aware that Daxia had produced incredible weapons.

Therefore, after returning to Rouran, he ordered the reinforcement of the walls of the Six Towns once again!

Even though the walls of the Six Towns had been reinforced countless times over the past few decades, the thickness of all the walls even exceeded that of the Daxia Pass, and the height was also much higher.

But Erzhu Rong still ordered to continue the reinforcement!

It was also because of caution that he, who always took the initiative to attack when facing a siege, chose to defend on the city wall today.

The purpose is to see what methods you, Da Xia, have!

The two looked into the distance.

There is no way to know whether the two eyes are aligned.

But the two seemed to be having a conversation across the air.

Zong Ze: "Today, Daxia has taken the first step to destroy Mobei."

Erzhu Rong: "Let me see what means you have to break into my Huaishuo Town!"

It was almost at the same time that the two of them finished speaking!

Bang!

The huge arrows on the crossbows of the soldiers on both sides were shot at the same time!

Buzz!

boom!

The former was a large arrow shot from the Mobei crossbow. Due to its range, it was inserted obliquely just a few steps in front of the Daxia soldiers. There was a buzzing sound when the arrow fell to the ground!

And the latter.

It was the sound of the explosion when a large arrow with a gunpowder arrowhead shot out from a new crossbow manufactured by Daxia using the principle of the compound bow hit Huaishuo Town!

The explosion was deafening!

The entire Huaishuo Town and the people of Mobei were trembling with fear. Some soldiers who were near the explosion were so shocked that they almost fell down. Fortunately, the explosion was on the wall!

But even so, everyone subconsciously looked towards the smoke-filled city wall.

But just looked over.

Everyone looked horrified!

Just because a hole of medium size appeared in the thick city wall.

Erzhu Rong naturally also saw this scene and looked surprised.

Mo Zheda said at the side: "Tianbao! Here he comes again!"

Hearing this, Erzhu Rong turned his head to look!

All they saw were huge arrows with thick smoke coming towards them in an overwhelming manner!

They had no time to react. As far as they could see, the arrows had already landed on the city walls, around them, and even in the town’s soldiers’ formation behind them and on the roofs.

The roar was mixed with screams, billowing smoke and flames.

In an instant, all of these appeared in Huaishuo Town!

The atmosphere of the entire Huaishuo Town changed completely. The murderous aura disappeared completely. Screams were heard one after another, as if awakening the day. The continuous and fierce flames turned the night into day.

"Everyone! Keep shooting arrows!" Erzhubi raised the scimitar in his hand high and roared loudly!

Upon hearing this, the Mobei soldiers on the city wall immediately operated the large crossbows.

But at this time.

The huge arrows that were flaming and carrying smoke in the sky once again fell like raindrops!

There were roars, screams, and houses collapsing.

Erzhu Rong's breathing became heavy and he turned his head to look at the people around him and behind him.

This is

What.

boom!

But at this moment, a louder sound that shook the entire night sky made Erzhu Rong turn his head immediately.

You can't see what's under the night sky.

But just when Erzhu Rong was about to take a closer look, he heard Erzhu Xinxing at the side: "Tianbao! Let's go!"

Erzhu Xinxing pushed Erzhu Rong away!

The next moment.

boom!

The roar happened right next to Erzhu Rong. The thick city wall was like paper. Not only was it broken directly, but even the huge rocks were shattered into pieces!

And there it is.

Erzhu Rong, with a sharp buzzing sound in his head, felt that the world around him had become quiet, but with his naked eyes, he could see blood, broken limbs, smoke, rubble, and fire all over the sky.

And the father whose body was half buried in the rubble and whose body was a bloody mess.

Erzhu Rong's breathing became very heavy.

But the next moment, Erzhu Rong heard his brother's cry.

"Brother! The city gate was broken!" Erzhu Bi yelled at Erzhu Rong with a dusty face.

Erzhu Rong suddenly came to his senses and looked around. He saw that a big fire had been set in the town and countless soldiers and civilians were running around.

boom!

There was that deafening sound again.

When Erzhu Rong turned his head, he saw that it was the black thing again shooting out something he didn't know what it was.

"Retreat!" Erzhu Rong said immediately.

Erzhubi was stunned and looked at his elder brother: "Brother! I will lead the cavalry to charge over! Destroy those things of theirs!"

Erzhu Rong glanced at his brother, shook his head and did not explain anything, but shouted: "Take the survivors and retreat immediately!"

Erzhu Rong's mind was extremely clear, and he didn't even call for action. The situation had already become like this in just a moment.

There is no fighting!

There is no way to fight!

This is no longer a matter of rushing over with people!

But how are you going to charge under that weapon!

But it’s also this time.

The sound of galloping horses could be heard.

Erzhu Rong turned his head!

All I saw was the cavalry galloping away on both sides of the Great Xia army.

Erzhu Rong immediately knew what Zongze was going to do, and shouted, "Everyone, follow me to Wuchuan Town!"

As he said that, he grabbed Erzhu Bi and jumped directly off the city wall!

But just when Erzhu Rong jumped off the city wall.

Erzhu Rong seemed to sense something and looked up.

A black round lump appeared in front of him, and the next moment, the lump fell to the ground.

boom!!

A sharp burning sensation instantly swept over Erzhu Rong!

Then

Erzhu Rong's vision became blurred. Many people in the town fled in panic. There were continuous roars. After a while, he could no longer see or hear anything.

But to him, it seemed like the next moment, because he was immediately awakened by a chill.

Open your eyes

The first thing that came into his field of vision was the raging fire, the corpses of Mobei soldiers all over the ground, and the head of Erzhu Bi right next to him.

After Erzhu Rong looked surprised, he calmed down instantly and realized that the city was lost, but he still looked furious.

"Erzhu Rong."

When he heard the voice, Erzhu Rong immediately raised his head.

He saw Zong Ze standing in front of him, with other Daxia generals beside him.

Erzhu Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Zong Ze!"

Zong Ze looked at Erzhu Rong with an indifferent expression and said, "The rules on your grasslands are that you don't kill children who are not taller than the wheels, and you don't kill women."

Hearing this, Erzhu Rong looked to one side and saw many old people, children, and women in the town gathered there, with a horse-drawn carriage parked next to them.

Erzhu Rong clenched his fists, but he was tied up and couldn't move at all.

However, Zong Ze looked down at Erzhu Rong, and his cold eyes, shining like an eagle under the dual illumination of moonlight and fire, just stared at him.

It was only after the late Queen passed away that he rushed back to the capital from Shuozhou.

I didn't even get to see the late queen for the last time.

What he saw was the emperor he followed, with his temples turned white overnight, sitting on the steps.

And the princess who saw her coming and ran to the imperial kitchen to cook dumplings and serve them out.

The princess looked at him and said, "My mother asked me to tell you, I'm sorry, I couldn't wait until you came back, so I couldn't make dumplings for you myself, so I had to let you eat them."

The princess' eyes were filled with tears, her hands were shaking, and the dumplings in the bowl were overcooked.

And Zongze.

The man who had never cried in his life, looked at the bowl of dumplings and the scene of the princess, whom he regarded as her own sister, biting her lips hard to stop herself from crying, and he burst into tears.

And just a few days ago.

His sister, the empress of the world, was sitting there thin and very tired. The moment he saw her, his heart was completely broken.

Then, he heard his sister tell him that people here should be killed.

He nodded without hesitation.

So now.

Zong Ze looked at Er Zhurong and said calmly: "Put the wheel flat."

As he spoke, he drew his sword from its sheath, slashed it down with one blow, and the carriage wheel fell flat on the ground.

Zong Ze continued, "Don't kill those who are lower than the wheel, but kill all the others!"

Zhuge Jia standing aside had a calm expression.

But You Lian, Zhou Buhuan and others looked at the Mobei women and children with stunned expressions.

But the next moment, a soldier immediately stood up and clasped his fists: "Yes!"

Without any hesitation, he walked towards the frightened women and children with a knife in hand.

Nothing else!

Because his wife and children were killed by the people of Mobei.

If they can kill, why can't we?

Follow it!

One after another, the soldiers walked forward with knives in hand, full of murderous intent!

You Lian and Zhou Buhuan also reacted now and clasped their fists.

Too many people from Daxia were killed by the people from Mobei.

What they did was not as simple as killing women and children.

"Zong Ze!!" Erzhu Rong looked at the woman who had been chopped by a knife and roared at Zong Ze!

But for some reason, looking at the flames around him and Zong Ze with the flames behind him.

He is known as the Heavenly King of Prison.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the devil he was guarding was Zong Ze and these Da Xia people.

However, Zong Ze looked at Erzhu Rong without saying a word. Instead, the long sword in his hand pierced his pupil directly. Then, the moment he pulled it out, a cold light flashed, and Erzhu Rong's head fell to the ground.

Zong Ze said to himself: "The evil dragon with chaotic pupils can't bring chaos to our Great Xia!"

Zhuge Jia glanced at Erzhu Rong and said, "The army has already headed to Wuchuan. If nothing unexpected happens, General Zhou, General Li, and General Chu should have conquered Rouxuan and Huaihuang by now."

Zong Ze sheathed his sword: "Go to Wuchuan!"

After saying that, he walked past the place where there was killing and screaming, mounted his horse and left.

…

Before the death of the previous emperor, Zong Ze received a letter.

The letter was written by the late emperor himself and contained only a few simple sentences.

"Rulin, I am dying. You will have to take care of my daughter. It's a pity that I can't go with you to see the majestic Mobei Royal Court. But it doesn't matter. I believe you can see it for me."
