In the early morning, Nanyang City was peaceful, with four gates wide open, and food, supplies were transported from the rear, and there were also people coming in and out, and the army was still recruiting troops in an orderly manner.

Above the city, the Chu army patrols on routine patrols, and the wood, stone, and turbulent oil were also well prepared; however, as long as the imperial army did not leave Mashankou, Nanyang could only be considered a rear. There was no war, and there were not many officers and soldiers patrolling.

The general of the Chu army, Qin Jing, in the city's general, sat in the conference hall and discussed the war at Mashankou with his generals.

Because the King of Chu did not want to suffer too much before the arrival of the three kings in the eastern region, the Chu army always attacked tentatively; and Guan Hongye also focused on defending and wanted to drag the situation in the northern border to a turnaround, and there was basically no major conflict between the two sides.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Qin Jing looked at the north corner of the map and looked at the small circle above:

"Chen Shou led his troops to attack Luanshan, and must have already arrived in Nanzhao County..."

"Report"

Before Qin Jing could finish a sentence, a hurry shout suddenly came from outside the lobby.

The generals in the conference hall heard the anxious sound and their faces changed. They thought the court had launched a general attack and immediately spoke, so they all stood up and looked out the door.

Qin Jing's eyelids also hopped violently, knowing that there might be big variables.

The scout almost rolled and crawled in and said anxiously: "Report, General, a team of cavalry suddenly appeared ten miles north of the north, wearing the armor of the Xiliang army. The number of people was unknown, and they were approaching Nanyang quickly..."

"What?"

"North?"

"Ten miles? The guard posts outside are all blind..."

As soon as the voice came out, the meeting hall was suddenly in chaos. Without Qin Jing's order, a general led the way out to prepare for war.

Ten miles away, the cavalry ran over for up to two quarters of an hour, and the battle report was a little slower, and they all went straight into the city!

Qin Jing had a little surprise in his eyes. He thought it was the Western Liang cavalry that broke through Mashan Pass, but he glanced down the map and felt that it was wrong. Mashan Pass was on the west side, Nanzhao County to the north, and then there was a steep mountain ridge. There was no route to march. Could this army fall from the sky?

The war suddenly came to an end, and Qin Jing didn't have time to think so much, so he hurriedly said:

"The order to Xiangyang and Mashankou quickly dispatched troops to help. All the remaining troops in the city were guarded by the city walls, and it was important to hold on until reinforcements arrived..."

While speaking, Qin Jing had already run out of the General Manager's Mansion and quickly climbed to the top of Nanyang City.

The generals looked up to the north, and they saw smoke and dust rolling on the distant plain, and a large group of soldiers and horses came towards Nanyang.

However, Qin Jing is also a veteran on the battlefield. He just glanced at him and realized that there were not too few people.

Rolling oil was burning above the city, and the crossbow was turning on the bed to prepare for combat. The deputy general stood in front of him, looked up at him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"General, the maximum number is only 5,000. The cavalry cannot carry the ladder and crash. Can the Xiliang army come to send it?"

When Qin Jing saw this scene, he felt that the other party was here to give it to him.

Not to mention five thousand people, even ten thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who suddenly attacked the city under Nanyang, would have to be caught blindly at all the gates; without ladders, siege equipment inside the shield cart, and three feet high city walls, wouldn't it be possible to climb with bare hands?

But the Xiliang Army is one of the most elite troops in Dayue. He would not believe that this cavalry had gone the wrong way even if he killed Qin Jing. He thought about it:

"Are you here to surrender?"

The deputy general felt that it was possible, but after thinking about it, he shook his head: "It is possible to surrender, but where did this cavalry come from? It is impossible to pass through Mashankou without any movement. If you want to surrender, you will definitely jump to Makoushan. How could you run to Nanyang..."

The two had only discussed for a while. As soon as the city gate was closed, the suspension bridge was pulled up, and the brigade of cavalry in the distance had already shown its outline.

It was more than three miles away, and I couldn't tell who was leading the team, but the number of people could be roughly 2,000, which was less than they expected.

Qin Jing has lived such a big life, and it is the first time that he has encountered this situation, and he is also confused for a moment.

The densely packed soldiers on the northern city wall watched the two thousand Xiliang cavalry running to the vicinity, and soon deviated from the direction again, passed by the plain on the right, and ran further south.

Qin Jing looked at the direction of the march and felt that the opponent was preparing to attack the weakest defense of the South City Wall. However, no matter how weak the defense was, there were more than a thousand people waiting for the battle. With the city wall as a support, how could these two thousand people fight to break the city?

Could it be that there is an insider?

Thinking of this, Qin Jing's face changed slightly: "Hurry! Go to Nancheng and be sure to guard the city gate."

"promise!"

The large group of soldiers quickly followed the horse path on the city wall and mobilized towards the south city. In the streets and alleys in Nanyang City, officers and soldiers also rushed towards the south city.

Unfortunately, before Qin Jing could run to the other end of Nanyang City, a bolt from the blue exploded from miles away...

Boom

Xu Buling brought two thousand light cavalry to the vicinity of Nanyang City, bypassed the most tightly defended north gate, and went directly to a mile outside the south gate.

Two thousand light riders stopped their horses and stood on standby, because everyone found temporary shelter within the range of the bed crossbow and the divine arm crossbow.

Xu Buling and Xu Ying changed into two swords, with ropes hanging behind them, and behind them were ten military soldiers; Ning Qingye and Ning Yuhe also followed with their swords, ready to go.

The deputy general brought the carriage, lifted the four small cannons on it, and placed them on the cannon stand.

A small cannon of 600 kilograms can only hit more than one mile, and its caliber is not large. It will definitely not be able to crush the city walls and even the city gates cannot be broken, but it is absolutely enough to scare people with flowering bullets; if it weren't for the heavy artillery to break the city, Xu Buling would not have taken any risk.

After the four cannons were lined up, the Xiliang sergeant who had already been trained quickly loaded and aimed.

Xu Buling carried his two swords on his back and said in a deep voice: "Don't beat him wrongly, I can't hide."

"Don't worry, the prince, I can't make it wrong."

Xu Buling nodded, without giving the other party any chance to adjust his garrison, and spoke loudly:

"fire!"

Boom

In the early summer of the 12th year of Zhaohong, four loud noises exploded outside Nanyang City.

The sound was like thunder, and it spread for miles. The entire city heard the sound, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians looked back together.

Four flames were like the city-swalking fire python, accompanied by thick smoke, sprayed out several feet apart. Before there was enough time to see clearly, a sound came from the southern city.

Amid the shocked gazes of many Chu soldiers guarding the city, two large holes appeared on the city gate tower, and a gap was broken through the walls, smoke and dust rolled, and gravel splattered. Several people could not hide, and the scene was covered in blood.

On the top of the East City Wall, Qin Jing, who was striding, shivered by the loud noise. The deputy general behind him shrank his neck and looked instinctively at the sky, thinking it was thunder.

Boom

After hesitation for a moment, there were four loud noises coming from afar.

The soldiers and armor on the top of the city all showed a terrifying look, and their eyes were filled with fear of the unknown.

Qin Jing was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses, and shouted at his subordinates urgently, and continued to run towards the south city...
