...

"Sir Prime Minister, look, there seems to be someone on the stone fort!"

Lun Qingling followed the gesture of deputy general Mangjiang Zanbu, and indeed saw a big flag planted on the mountains and rivers of Longyou that had never been seen before.

"Send someone to inquire about what happened to the stone fort above..."

Lun Qingling's servant got the order and immediately ran towards the stone fort...

At the same time, when the Han army in the stone fort found the crowds and the endless scenes outside the fort, they also showed fear.

"Military Supervisor, how many Hu people are at the foot of this stone fort mountain? Why are there thousands of them?" A Han army school rolled his Adam's apple and said softly to Xu Wenjing.

Xu Wenjing snorted coldly and said, "How many thousand? Your eyes are really bad. There are 30,000 Bohe people outside the stone castle!"

"Three...thirty thousand..." The Han Army School was shocked, "But we only have five hundred people, five hundred to thirty thousand?"

"It's 30,000 to 500!" Xu Wenjing corrected with a calm and gentle wind, "What's the use of a lot of people? Look carefully at the terrain around the stone fort. The Bohe people want to attack from various roads, but their troops cannot be used at all.

We just need to stick to the natural danger and can easily block them outside the stone fortress. As long as you are not lazy and cheer up, you will be able to defend until the Bohe people retreat..."

After hearing Xu Wenjing's explanation, the Han Army School finally felt much more at ease.

At this time, the Bohe envoy came outside the stone fort and rumored the soldiers in the fort.

Unfortunately, none of the Han soldiers present could understand what the Bohe people were saying. Only Xu Wenjing had made up for the plateau language and writing, and could hear a rough idea, which roughly meant to ask about the situation of the stone fort.

With that, Xu Wenjing pondered for a moment and immediately shouted loudly in Bohe language outside the fort: "We are in cooperation with the Mengluo Empire and Zhen Shuolongyou Road, what do you want to attack our territory? Let's go back and tell you generals and quickly lead the troops back, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"

When Bohe heard this, he was stunned for a while, and stopped talking, and turned back to the formation...

After listening to the attendant's report, Lun Qingling stared at the military flag flying on the stone castle with a little meaning, and then said to another attendant next to him: "Call the envoy of Monroe, I have something to ask him."

Soon, the attendant brought the envoy of Mengluo to Lunqingling.

Lun Qingling asked: "Empress, please explain what happened to that stone fort?"

The messenger of Monroe looked up at the high stone fort, stared for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't understand what the Prime Minister wants..."

Lun Qingling said: "Didn't you say that Longyou Road is a great gift from your Aries King to the Bohe people? When the prime minister leads his army to the expedition, he will take the initiative to withdraw the troops guarding all over Longyou.

But now, why is there a group of Central Plains people on it? To be honest, are you the Mengluo people colluding with the Central Plains people and making fun of me, Bohe people, even though your country is the sect leader,

But if we do this, aren’t we afraid that we Bohe people will feel disappointed!”

The envoy of Mengluo hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, when I came, King Aries personally stated that as long as the Bohe people were willing to send troops to help them defeat the Han army invading the Western Regions, they would pay Longyou as a reward and give it to the Bohe people.

But I really don’t know why there are Han troops on the top. Maybe they took advantage of the Mengluo Warriors in Longyou to remove their defense and occupy them.

Please be sure to believe that the Aries King cannot joke about such a thing!”

Lun Qingling nodded and said, "I am worried too much. In fact, I think something is strange. It must be the Han army occupying the stone fort and hindering our army's advance. Since that's the case, I will defeat them later..."

The messenger Mengluo breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't know why the Han army suddenly appeared on the stone fort, nor did he know how the war in the Western Regions was going on.

"Shit the forward general Songbu leads two thousand elite troops and immediately launches an attack on the stone castle. Be sure to take down the stone castle before dark!"

With Lun Qingling's order, Bohe's army immediately began to change its formation. Soon, two thousand Bohe people in armor were wearing swords and shields in hand.

“Woo~~”

The horns of the Bohe people's attack sounded, echoing dullly above Longyou Road, alarming birds and beasts running around...

In the stone fort, the Han soldiers heard the sound of horns and immediately clenched the weapons in their hands nervously.

Xu Wenjing stood by the mercedes, staring at the outside of the fort with a glass, and then ordered loudly: "The enemy is about to attack, the crossbowman is in place, check the crossbow arrows!"

When the Han soldiers heard this, they hurried to the corner of the wall and nervously began to load crossbow arrows, and from time to time they poked their heads outside the stone wall to observe the enemy situation.

In order to cope with the subsequent hard battle, Xu Wenjing divided the five hundred Wei Wushang soldiers into three waves to snipe. First, a hundred crossbowmen and spearmen were preparing to snipe the first wave of enemy attacks. The remaining two waves did everything possible to find materials that could defend the enemy before it was his turn to go into battle.

Fortunately, there are more stones around the stone fort, and there is a huge freshwater pool behind it, which solves the risk of long-term combat water sources being cut off.

Soon, the Han soldiers who "scavenge" found a large amount of stones and firewood, and a large iron pot with two corners missing.

"Go and scoop some water to fill the iron pot. After the boiling, I will listen to my instructions. I will concentrate all the stones under the wall of the pile, and there are those long shields. I will block them when I get the corners of the pile. Don't be careful not to let the Bohe people kill them. Instead, I will be killed by the fall and I will be completely lost..."

Xu Wenjing ordered the fortress to arrange fortifications. After all, he followed Liu Ce in the south and north for many years. In terms of military level, even if he was in the commanding general, he was one of the best in the Liu Ce lineage.

When the Han soldiers in the fort saw that Xu Wenjing, a first-rank official in the court, were so calm, they felt more at ease and arranged fortifications according to his instructions.

"Ha ~"

Just as the Han soldiers in the fort had just finished setting up the fort and were about to take a break, the horns in the Bohe formation stopped, and a deafening beastly yelled immediately.

"Here you come!"

Xu Wenjing shouted deeply, raised his mirror and looked out of the fort. He knew from his intuition that the Bohe people were about to start the attack and an offensive and defensive battle was about to begin.

Sure enough, from the mirror, I saw a Bohe infantry coming to the stone fort hundreds of steps away under the cover of the sword and shield.

"Hmph~"

Putting down the glass, Xu Wenjing snorted coldly, with an extremely vicious smile on her face.

"I heard that the Bohe people are savage and fearless, just so happens that I, Xu Wenjing, want to see how much blood you Bohe people will shed under the stone fort, and are you afraid of death?"

Songbu led two thousand Bohe people to launch the first round of offensive towards the stone fort. As the range of the stone fort became closer, Songbu gradually found that the road was getting more and more rugged. When the team could have been lined up in at least twenty people, they gradually turned into ten people and five people. In the end, it was the limit that only three people could be one. Only through that slope would the low point be wider.

Songbu sighed: "No wonder the Prime Minister asked me to abandon my horse and follow the steps. With such a steep and narrow terrain, the cavalry did nothing at all."

After sighing, Songbu continued to command the army to advance. Although the road was difficult, he was still more than close to the stone fort and had already entered a distance of seventy steps.

Xu Wenjing observed the enemy situation and when the Bohe team was about to pass the ramp, he immediately asked the powerful crossbowmen around him: "Is there a sharpshooter? Aim at the leading sword and shield hand, be sure to kill him with one blow!"

"I!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Han Jun School nicknamed Dog Eye volunteered to accept the task with her arm hanging on her crossbow.

Xu Wenjing nodded, came to him, pressed his shoulder and said, "Very good. As long as you can knock them down with one arrow, I will remember your first achievements!"

When the Han Army School heard this, without saying a word, he aimed at the Bohe sword and shield hand in the distance, then his eyes sterned and he pulled the trigger hard.

"Swish~"

"Puff~"

The crossbow arrow was galloping, and when Bohe's sword and shield hand poked his head out of the shield, the cold crossbow arrow pierced his neck directly. The huge penetration force made him leave the ground with his feet, and he turned around and fell heavily to the ground and died...

"Defense~"

“Tu tu tu tu…”

The sudden casualties made the Bohe people around him immediately protect the shield to the vital points to prevent the same ending.

Xu Wenjing snorted lightly, patted the sharpshooter, and then continued to order: "That's it, don't be anxious, slowly put them in and shoot, try to aim at the space between the shield..."

Just now, one arrow gave these Han soldiers great encouragement, and the haze in their hearts was swept away at this moment. They all cheered up and pointed the crossbow arrow at their targets.

"Continue to move forward, prepare for the long ladder!"

When Songbu saw that the dozen sword and shield hands in front of him successfully passed the ramp except for one casualty, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he had long heard that the stone fort in Longyoudao was invincible, so it was not easy to attack, but judging from the current performance, it seemed that the rumor was simply unreliable. This stone fort should be taken down before dark...

So he commanded the soldiers marching on the ramp to accelerate, making the already narrow ramp more crowded...

"Swish~"

"Du~"

Another crossbow arrow shot down from the stone castle, just nailed to the shield of a Bohe sword and shield hand, making a crisp and light sound.

Na Bohe's sword and shield gritted his teeth, feeling the numbness of the palm of the shield under the shock of the crossbow arrows, and couldn't help but squat on the ground, revealing his yellow teeth and hugging a companion around him to "smile with a knowing smile".

"Swish~"

"Puff~"

But the next moment, before his companion could smile, he was directly pierced through his cheek by a crossbow arrow, and his whole body spiraled to the ground...

“Tu tu tu tu…”

"Puff puff puff..."

Soon, the frequency of crossbow arrows shooting on the stone fort became extremely frequent. A sharp crossbow arrow was either nailed to a wooden shield or shot into the body of the Bohe people, bringing out a mass of blood mist. Soon, a miserable wail sounded outside the stone fort.

The Bohe who had not been shot in the arrow held the shield and ran back and forth forty steps outside the stone castle. Unfortunately, they were so pressed by the crossbow that they could not raise their heads at all, and could only be passively beaten as a turtle with a head-reducing head.

“Ah~”
