Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

South Middle City, Taishou Mansion.

A young woman was dressing up, and Deng Yu and Deng Yongqi were standing behind her.

Deng Yu said: "Tomorrow, Li Zhao will send someone to Nanzhong to greet his relatives." After you marry in Chengdu, it is best to give birth to an heir as soon as possible and maintain the relationship between the Li and Deng families.

Deng Yongqing's expression was bitter, and he bowed his head and said, "My daughter did her best, but she ..........." "

But what?" said Deng Yu unhappily.

"Father really believes that Li Zhao will allow you to Yongzhen Nanzhong?" Deng Yongqing has always been smart, and based on what Li Zhao has done in the past, he doesn't trust Li Zhao at all in his heart. No matter how you look at it, you feel that the other party is using a plan to delay the army, and there must be a plot behind it.

"This is not something you should think about, you just need to serve Li Zhao with all your heart, and don't worry about anything else. "

My daughter understands. Deng Yongqing said helplessly, with a touch of sadness in his beautiful eyes.

Deng Yongqi saw Deng Yongqing dressed in red, and his heart ached. The relationship between the brother and sister is very good, and he really doesn't want to marry Deng Yongqing to Li Zhao. Secretly made up his mind that he must destroy Li Zhao one day.

"The greeting procession is coming soon, so be sure to entertain them. Deng Yu looked at Deng Yongqi.

"Yes.

While everyone was talking, the housekeeper hurriedly barged in, looking extremely flustered, panting and saying, "My lord, they are here." "

Well, got it. Deng Yu thought it was someone sent by Li Zhao to greet his relatives, but he didn't care. Deng Yongqi and Deng Yongqing, but found that the housekeeper's expression was not quite right.

"It's the Zhaowu army outside the city. The butler said urgently.

"You said that Li Zhao sent Zhaowu Army to greet his relatives. Deng Yu still didn't react.

The other two understood, and Deng Yongqing's face turned pale.

Deng Yongqi stood up, shocked and angry, "Father, why don't you understand." Li Zhao was treacherous, he didn't plan to marry the third sister at all, and the Zhaowu army was here!"

Deng Yu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ran out of the house.

The father and son immediately rode to the city gate. After climbing the city wall, I saw that there was a lot of pressure outside the city.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhaowu Army were lined up neatly, and the formation was unusually quiet, and although the long knife at his waist had not yet been unsheathed, it had already exuded an astonishing murderous aura.

More than a hundred large bed crossbows were placed at the front of the array. The surrounding crossbowmen are methodically loading them with arrows.

"Li Zhao, a thief, has no credibility to speak of. Deng Yu was furious, and his eyes were red with anger.

"There is no point in saying this, at the moment there is only one way to defend the city, and it is difficult for the Zhaowu army to conquer Nanzhong City in a short time. Deng Yongqi said.

Because there are many barbarians in the south, in order to block the barbarians, the city wall is built high and thick. Although it is not as good as Chengdu, it can be called a strong city.

"Send someone to contact Zhu Fan, and then gather the barbarian soldiers and fight the Zhaowu army to the death. Deng Yu hated Li Zhao in his heart, and no longer had any illusions.

"I'll do it right away. "

Never!" Deng Yongqing followed closely behind the two, had just climbed the city wall, heard the conversation between the two, and hurriedly stopped him.

"Why not?" Deng Yu frowned.

Deng Yongqing knelt on the ground, tears in his eyes, "Father, brother." From Chengdu to Nanzhong, the distance is more than 100 miles. We did not receive any warning beforehand, so that the enemy army quietly slaughtered the city, and it is clear that Li Zhao had been planning for this battle for a long time. If you resist stubbornly, I am afraid that the Deng family will be destroyed.

What she said, Deng Yongqi had already thought of it. But it just dropped like this, and Deng Yu and Deng Yongqi were both difficult to accept.

"Evil words confuse the people, disturb the hearts of our army, come here! Take her down and keep her under strict supervision. Deng Yu said sharply.

Huo Jian, the head of the Huo family, stood not far from them, and when he saw that Deng Yu had no intention of surrendering, he sighed in his heart.

The whole army was ready, but Chen Zhe did not attack immediately, until more and more soldiers stood on the city wall, and ordered the crossbowmen to attack.

A dense rain of arrows shot quickly towards the city wall.

Deng Yongqi hurriedly ordered to raise his shield or dodge, but the rain of arrows was more violent than expected. Wave after wave, it never stopped. From time to time, someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

In addition to attacking the soldiers on the city walls, the giant arrows fired from the bed crossbow had a longer range, and a large number of arrows were also fired into the city.

In order to inflict greater damage on the enemy, half of the catapults threw boulders and the other half threw canisters.

Shields can't protect against boulders, let alone flames. Some of the soldiers had their heads broken and their brains were bleeding out, while others were on fire, and their mouths were howling in pain, rolling back and forth on the ground in the hope of extinguishing the fire.

Deng Yongqi was unwilling to be beaten passively, and ordered the crossbowmen to fight back, but was strongly suppressed by the Zhaowu army.

Deng Yu, like most people, hid in the corner of the wall to avoid being hit. Frightened in his heart, according to a rough estimate, the defenders had more than 100 dead and wounded. In this case, the Zhaowu army still did not climb the city wall, but only blindly attacked from a distance. What Deng Yongqing said just now was right, with such a huge amount of arrows, Li Zhao had really been planning for a long time.

"General Chen, you can stop, you can't take Nanzhong City with bows and crossbows and stone-throwing carts alone. Song Jun said lightly. Chen Zhe used to be just a general, but now he is above him, and he is a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"General Song, don't worry, wait. Chen Zhe smiled.

Under the cover of arrows, the foot soldiers of the Zhaowu army carried the ladder and quickly approached the city wall.

As soon as the arrow array stopped, the foot soldier immediately climbed along the ladder towards the wall.

Therefore, the battle happened too suddenly, and the city wall was not equipped with fire oil, gold soup and other materials. And because of the fierce attack just now, there were not many defenders on the wall, and nearly 100 soldiers of the Zhaowu Army had successfully climbed the city wall.

Seeing this, Deng Yongqi was in a hurry, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers in the city to climb the city wall and fight with the Zhaowu army. The two sides exchanged hand-to-hand battles, and both slashed at each other.

"Two generals, what are you waiting for?" Chen Zhe said.

Han Zhiyuan and Song Jun did not delay, and immediately led their subordinates to attack.

Song Jun saw Deng Yongqi swinging his knife quickly and fiercely, and greeted him with a knife. The two fought more than a dozen moves, Song Jun's heart sank, he was bigger, the opponent's strength was stronger than him, and if the two continued to fight, I was afraid that they would die under the opponent's knife. The surrounding Zhaowu army was less numerous than the defenders, and it did not have the conditions for group fighting.

Gritting his teeth, Song Jun made more than a dozen moves. Fortunately, Han Zhiyuan found out that he was in a bad situation and fought against Deng Yongqi with him.

Deng Yongqi knew Han Zhiyuan and scolded: "It's a shame that you have read the book of sages, but you disregard your shame and serve the thief with your body."

"I've done my best, but Chengdu is still lost, and it's not my fault. Han Zhiyuan retorted.

A large number of defenders in the city climbed the city wall, and there were less than 100 soldiers at the city gate, and Huo Jian led 300 family soldiers to quietly lean towards the city gate.
