On January 14, Yang Shang Yujia personally marched, and a total of 550,000 troops from the Dongning Army Corps, the Thunder Soul Corps, the Shenyu Camp, and the Tianjue Corps besieged Xiping City.
In the morning, after the sun broke, the war drums roared.
The entire Xiping City had been surrounded.
The outside of the city was densely packed with merchant troops, but inside the city, there were only tens of thousands of forbidden troops and elites from Mingshan Province.
The rest were some wounded soldiers and The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.
On the city tower, Feng Jixing was wearing a deputy commander's cloak, holding a pergola with his hands and looking at the merchant army's battle formation in the distance.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "My dear, there are a hundred thousand people outside the North City alone."
On the side, Xiang Yu said: "There is news outside the four city walls.
All our outer city positions have been captured.
Yang Shang has used 500,000 real troops this time."
"How is our defense going?"
Feng Jixing asked.
Xiang Yu said calmly: "Each city gate has been allocated 30,000 troops.
As for the 60,000 reserves, they have not been used for the time being.
They are all new recruits who have no combat power at all.
If they are sent, they will die."
"I know."
Feng Jixing whispered: "Has the original wind stone been placed?"
Guan Xing nodded: "Senior Luo Tianji said that it was launched an hour ago and it is not appropriate for us to send out any air forces.
The same goes for Yu Shu, who can easily be strangled by the wind saw."
"That's good."
Feng Jixing had a joking look in his eyes and said with a smile: "Since Yang Shang wants to attack the city so much, let them come.
Guanxing, you go guard Nancheng and Zhang Wei, you go guard West City, Luo Yu and Lin Xun , you go and guard Dongcheng."
"yes" After dispatching the generals, Feng Jixing took an apple from the fruit plate behind him, took a bite, turned around and sat on the city wall, with a provocative smile in his eyes, and said: "Get ready to fight, the enemy is close to 2000 meters away."
Start the bombardment, get close to 500 meters and shoot with crossbows, get close to 100 meters to fire the bow, get close to 50 meters to light the kerosene in the moat, get close to 10 meters, draw your sword and fight hand-to-hand."
"Yes, deputy commander" Everyone nodded in unison.
Xiang Yu smiled slightly.
"Why are you laughing?"
Feng Jixing glanced at him.
Xiang Yu said with a smile: "You are the only one in the world who can fight like this, Feng Jixing.
However, I am convinced that a person like you can be invincible.
It is no accident."
"What can I say?
I really can't speak."
Feng Jixing muttered a few words and said loudly: "Give me the order, whoever kills one enemy will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins, whoever kills two enemies will be promoted to one level, and whoever kills five or more enemies will be promoted to three levels.
In this way, By analogy, if you kill more than a hundred people until my power cannot give you a promotion, the big house I secretly bought in Lanyan City will be given to you.
If you kill more than a thousand people, all of my concubines will be given to you. " Everyone laughed, and a centurion laughed and said: "Commander, you don't have a concubine at all, and you are not afraid that His Highness Yin will investigate you for accepting bribes."
"What are you afraid of, Your Highness Yin?
Those are my younger siblings.
Damn, this is what you should ask.
Sit back on your cannon.
A magic crystal cannon knocked you back."
"Yes, Commander" As the enemy troops approached, the magic crystal cannons on the city wall began to fire, and beautiful purple flowers bloomed on the plain in the distance.
However, the number of magic crystal cannons in Xiping City was too small, and the shells were almost exhausted.
Therefore, it can only serve as a deterrent.

As for actually killing the enemy, you still have to wait until the opponent is close.
Under the city, the sound of war drums became more and more intense, and the siege equipment of the merchant army appeared, and they continued to approach the city under the protection of countless heavy-shielded cavalry.
"Ballista" Feng Jixing waved his hand, and immediately a steel-cast defensive device on the city began to shoot.
What was shot were huge rocks.
Depending on the height of the city, they could shoot up to several hundred meters away, and they were all selected round stones.
“Bang bang bang” Huge boulders fell on the crowd below the city and rolled rapidly, crushing the merchant soldiers into a pulp.
The screams were endless, and soon the opponent's battle formation began to become chaotic.
"It's getting closer."
Xiang Yu said in a deep voice.
Feng Jixing raised his arm, threw away the apple core, and said: "Strong bow and crossbow, ready to shoot."
On the city wall, densely packed archers are ready.
They pull out their bows and arrows layer by layer and make a throwing gesture.
The city wall of Xiping City is very thick.
There are ten layers of archers in total.
This also means that ten rounds can be fired continuously in one minute.
The power of shooting can be imagined, and even arrow boxes, stone cannons and other equipment were pushed out.
"shoot arrows" Xiang Yu yelled.
In an instant, densely packed arrows fell from the sky like locusts.
Under the city, most of the soldiers did not have shields and could only use their flesh and blood to resist the rain of arrows.
After all, casting shields requires a lot of steel, but the steel of Tianji Continent does not exist.
There aren't that many, and it would be impossible to equip everyone with a shield.
In the blink of an eye, there was a layer of corpses piled up under the city wall.
But the siege ladders and siege vehicles were getting closer and closer.
Feng Jixing saw it with a stern look and said: "Rocket, let them catch fire."
After a round of rocket fire, the buildings and cars were on fire, but obviously the effect was not that good.
By the time the fire really broke out, the longboards had already been put down close to the city wall.
Xiang Yu squinted his eyes and said, "I can't resist anymore, so use the Book of Heaven."
"Um."
Feng Jixing yelled: "Wind-based heavenly book, aim at the building car" "yes" Some masters from the Dragon League activated the energy of the Heavenly Book, and storms suddenly erupted in the sky and swept away.
The cold wind blades were invincible and turned the siege vehicles into powder, and the men holding long swords in the vehicles were The soldiers also died tragically, their bodies bloody and bloody.
"They have arrived at the moat, light a fire," Feng Jixing ordered.
The rockets fired a volley, and the moat immediately ignited with flames several meters high.
Some merchant soldiers who were caught off guard immediately fell down and were buried in the sea of fire.
Soon, a thick burnt smell filled the air.
Come on.
The entire Xiping City was already in flames of war.
The Shang Kingdom had already attacked the city with several times the enemy's force, and was determined to win.
However, the fierce battle continued until near dusk, but the merchant army always stopped at the moat area, and could not even get close to the city wall.
Finally, dragon roars were heard in the distant air, and they dispatched the dragon cavalry regiment.
"Coming" Feng Jixing immediately ordered: "Prepare the dragon-hunting crossbow and sky-shooting cannon."
The soldiers on the city wall raised their swords to face the enemies in the air.
The huge figures swooped down one after another, and as usual, dragon flames swelled from the dragon's neck, waiting to strike the strongest one on the ground.
However, before the dragon got close to the ground, Suddenly, the sound of "Puff, puff, puff" came, and the tough dragon armor was directly torn to pieces.
One by one, the dragon knights died in the air, falling into the city like flies that were electrocuted.
"Hahahaha" Xiang Yu laughed heartily.

Feng Jixing couldn't help but laugh: "I've seen it rain in my life, but I've never seen it rain before.
It's really rare."
At this time, all the generals in the merchant camp were shocked.
"What's going on?
Why did more than half of our dragon knights die in an instant?"
Yang Shang was shocked.
"It seems to be some kind of barrier with huge lethality."
Chen Yu said.
"Recall the Dragon Riders immediately."
"hateful" Yang Shang gritted his teeth and said: "The anger is killing me, the anger is killing me."
Chen Yu smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, I have a plan."
"Marshal, please speak."
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the strategy that Mr.
Xun Xi once offered?
The defeated army of the empire was released by Lin Muyu.
Now I secretly ordered some of the defeated army to return to Xiping City.
Now these people have been taken in by Feng Jixing and organized into a patrol army of 5,000 people.
During the daytime battle to defend the city, Feng Jixing's army team, but these 5,000 patrol troops are on guard at night.
I have made an agreement with the city defenders to raise a fire as a signal at midnight.
They open the city gate and cooperate with us inside and outside to break the city.
No matter how powerful Feng Jixing defends the city, he can no longer fight in the streets.
One hundred thousand can defeat our two hundred thousand cavalry.”
"Marshal is confident" "I am willing to personally lead the troops to attack the city."
"That's very good."
Yang Shang squinted his eyes: "I am waiting here to celebrate the marshal's victory."
"Yes, then I went to prepare."
The brilliant starlight fell on the city, and most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep.
There was a cool breeze blowing, and in the corridor of the city tower, there was a table with a few side dishes and a pot of Yinhua stuffed rice.
Feng Jixing used the light from the lantern to look for the rare edamame with his chopsticks, looking for it very carefully.
Xiang Yu sat across from him with calm eyes, drinking glass after glass of wine.
At this moment, Guanxing came over in a long robe and said: "Commander, my subordinates have made arrangements.
There are heavy troops ambushed in the four big urns, using the best white diamond arrows."
"Very good."
Feng Jixing nodded.
Guanxing frowned and said: "It's just that my subordinates don't understand.
Why did the commander determine that these surrendering soldiers must be faking their surrender?
It's reasonable and reasonable.
They have no signs of faking their surrender.
Da Qin's battle on the East China Sea settled the world, and they surrendered to us.
It is also a reasonable thing, and it is also appropriate to come and surrender in order to beg for food."
Feng Jixing smiled faintly: "Guanxing, you only know the art of war, but you don't understand trivial matters."
"Please give me some advice, Commander."
"It's very simple."
Feng Jixing put down his chopsticks and said: "If you just go towards them and come back, you must be pretending to surrender.
There is no such truth in the world.

If you want to surrender, you have already surrendered.
Why wait until you leave before coming back."
Xun Xi and Chen Yu I feel that my tricks are amazing and I will win, but I forget that there are always common sense in the world.
If you violate common sense, it will be too easy to be seen through. " Stargazer was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh: "I'm so embarrassed that I didn't notice for a moment."
"Go and make arrangements.
After the fight is over, just tell me how many people were shot."
"yes":
