The soldiers on the city wall looked at each other, and they finally realized that these black and greasy oils were actually fire-induced objects. Although the city tower in Hulao Pass looked very spectacular, after decades of ups and downs, it had already rotten inside. When the fire was together, with the aid of tinder oil, the raging fire spread rapidly. In just a moment, the entire city tower was swallowed by black smoke.

Wang Honglie was so anxious that he stomped his feet. He had realized that the Sui army must have attacked the city gate and used a huge tree to hit the city gate. The fire on the city tower made the soldiers unable to defend above the city gate. He shouted: "The troops on both sides gathered in the city immediately!"

Since the city gate cannot be smashed with huge rocks, we can only shoot with bows and arrows from both sides. At this time, almost everyone thought that the Sui army was about to attack the city gate, but in fact, it was not easy to attack the city gate. The city gate was divided into two gates inside and outside, all of which were made of cast iron. Large siege rams may not be able to break through the city gate. However, in desperation, Wang Honglie did not think so much.

Under his order, more than 2,000 Zheng soldiers from the north and south of the city quickly gathered in Zhongcheng to prepare for night battles to defend the city.

Just when the city was in chaos, a Sui army approached the North City silently, with four equally huge catapults. Hundreds of soldiers staying in the North City immediately became nervous, and some soldiers rushed to report to Wang Honglie.

At this time, not far from the city gate, the sound of drums was like thunder, and the shouts of killing were shocked. At least tens of thousands of people were preparing to attack the city gate. A huge siege ram had appeared two hundred steps away from the city gate. Thousands of Sui army crossbowmen rushed forward and shot arrows at the top of the city gate, suppressing the Zheng army soldiers at the top of the city. All signs indicate that the Sui army was about to launch a large-scale attack on the city gate.

A soldier rushed over and reported to Wang Honglie: "Your Highness, four large catapults appeared outside the city north. Please decide!"

Wang Honglie was shocked. He thought for a while and asked, "How many soldiers are there except for the catapult?"

"There are probably a few hundred people."

Wang Honglie's tense nerves suddenly loosened. There were only a few hundred people, so it was not worth worrying that the defense should be focused on the city gate. He immediately ordered: "Continue to monitor the enemy and report to me if there is any information!"

The soldiers had no choice but to go back. At this time, the four catapults in the north of the city had been positioned. Since all the crossbows were used to deal with the Sui army in the central area that was about to attack the city, there were no defensive weapons in the north of the city. Only more than 500 Zheng soldiers were on bows and arrows, waiting for the battle.

Two miles behind the catapult, this is a place where the defenders cannot see their eyes. The six thousand Sui army, led by the commander Wei Wentong, were lined up in an orderly manner, and they were patiently waiting for the catapult to appear.

Although the Sui army made great noises at the city gate, the six thousand troops here were truly an attacking army.

Wei Wentong was a little nervous. He had been planning this siege a year ago. In order to understand the situation in the city, he did not hesitate to let his subordinates pretend to be merchants and spent a lot of money to open a tavern in the city. Although it was closed in only three months, his subordinates had already figured out the structure of Hulao Pass in these precious three months, and it was exactly the same as the Hulao Pass he had guarded before, without any change.

Then he believed that under the continuous strike of the giant trencher, the effect of a city collapse could be achieved by three heavy blows of huge rocks. This was the result of Wei Wentong's repeated trials, but Wei Wentong was not sure what the actual situation would be. He was really uneasy.

At this time, a personal soldier next to him whispered: "General, it's beginning!"

Wei Wentong nodded slowly. He had already seen the throwing rod of the trencher bounce up, and four large stones flew towards the city wall.

The attack of the Sui army's catapult had begun. Four large rocks rose into the air, drew four arcs, and accurately hit the tall and erect city wall. There was only a series of muffled sounds. The huge impact force caused the city wall to shake, scaring the soldiers on the city to lie down one after another. This was a situation they had never experienced before, and the city wall actually shook.

When the first round of rock impact was over, several brave soldiers poked their heads out to look around. They saw two big dark holes appearing on the city wall. The soldiers immediately exclaimed, "The city wall has been smashed!"

The soldiers trembled in a trembling manner. A few huge rocks could smash the city wall. Is this still Hulao Pass? What is the difference between it and a private house?

At this moment, the second round of giant rock attacks came, and four giant rocks were hovering in the air, roaring towards the city wall. The continuous dull sounds of "bang-bang--" were not only shaking more violently this time, but a series of broken sounds were made inside the city wall, and the sound was from far to near, which was particularly terrifying.

Suddenly, a soldier screamed loudly. It turned out that the city was cracking. The soldiers lying on the city were getting up one after another and quickly leaned towards the inner female wall. They looked at the increasingly larger cracks. Soon they were no longer cracks, but a fault, and the upper and lower layers began to stagger.

At this time, not only was the city wall broken, but a crack more than 30 meters long appeared in the middle and lower part of the city wall. The cracks were expanding rapidly, and the city wall began to bulge outwards. The soldiers on the city wall were extremely frightened and fled desperately to the city wall. They all realized that the city wall was about to collapse.

Before all the soldiers on the city were running away, a loud noise was heard, "Boom!" The city wall collapsed inside, dust was flying, decades of dust filled the sky, dozens of soldiers on the city could not escape, and fell along with the city wall, buried in endless darkness by the collapsed bricks.

The defenders at Hulao Pass were shocked and looked north together. The dust disappeared slightly. A mile-long city wall collapsed, and dozens of feet of the city wall collapsed together. A huge gap appeared in Hulao Pass. No one in the defenders on the city knew what happened. The wall collapsed for no reason, but they knew very well that Hulao Pass could not be protected.

Wei Wentong was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, just two rounds of catapults attacked the city wall collapsed. It was completely beyond his expectations. He pulled out his battle knife and roared, "Strike!"

‘Woo--’

The low trumpet sound suddenly blew, followed by the earth-shaking war drums rumbling, which were attacks and trumpet sounds and drum sounds.

"Kill!"

The Sui army outside the city roared like thunder, and they all hurried towards the collapsed gap.

More than a thousand Sui troops quickly cleared the collapsed bricks, and a passage of ten feet wide appeared. Wei Wentong took the big knife and took the lead in killing. As soon as he lifted the war horse, the war horse jumped away, jumped over the ruins two feet wide, and rushed into the city. Thousands of soldiers followed him and flocked to the city.

The Zheng army on the top of the city was already panicked. Without the order from the commander, they all ran to the city one after another. Who wouldn't want to escape at this time?

‘Boom!’ There was a loud bang on the top of the city, and the burning city tower finally collapsed. The terrifying aura scared Wang Honglie to his legs weak, and dozens of personal soldiers supported him and ran towards the city.

"Your Highness gets on your horse!"

Wang Honglie's legs were weak and he didn't step on the stirrups twice. Several personal soldiers were anxious and pushed him onto the war horse. At this moment, Wei Wentong rode his horse and rushed over. He had already stared at Wang Honglie who was riding on the war horse.

Wang Honglie's war horse was rewarded by Wang Shichong. It was originally the five Dayuan horses given to his grandson Yang Tong by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui. After being obtained by Wang Shichong, he was rewarded to his sons and nephews. Although Wei Wentong did not know Wang Honglie, he knew that the enemy generals riding on this majestic war horse were definitely not ordinary people.

"The enemy general was killed!"

Wei Wentong shouted loudly, and his war horse rushed towards him like a strong wind. When the sound came to the sword, a cold light slashed at Wang Honglie like lightning. Although Wang Honglie had good martial arts skills, how could he compare with Wei Wentong, the ninth-ranked flower sword general in the world? Wei Wentong's sword technique was famous all over the world for his speed.

Before Wang Honglie could lift the knife to block it, Wang Honglie felt a sharp pain in his neck, and he knew nothing. A big head flew up and blood spurted out. Wei Wentong's war horse jumped past, and he raised the tail of the knife gently, and the head flew more than ten feet away, and was picked up by the personal soldiers behind him.

Wang Honglie's dozens of personal guards were so scared that they were scattered. He shouted and ran around. Wei Wentong waved his big sword and shouted coldly: "Kill me!"
