It's not high.
However, climbing up the gentle slope from the side is more than a mile.
They were still several dozen feet away from the stone fortress.
Dozens of Western Xia soldiers appeared on the stone fortress.
The Western Xia soldiers inside the stone fortress had no idea where these soldiers in black armor came from.
They shouted questions from the city wall.
Han Shizhong laughed and said, "They asked us which troops we were from?"
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "It seems these troops have been stationed at the stone fortress for quite some time."
"They don't even know about my Great Liang."
The Western Xia soldiers inside the stone fortress looked at the troops below but did not answer.
They dispersed and continued climbing.
They knew their intentions were not good.
In a panic, the soldiers inside the stone fortress were ordered to set off smoke signals as a warning.
Meanwhile, the soldiers on the city wall began moving boulders.
Zhao Yuan saw that the stone fortress was now within range of most people's crossbows.
Also fearing an attack from the Western Xia soldiers on the city wall, he shouted,
"Loose all arrows."
Before leaving,
Zhao Yuan has already transferred all five thousand crossbowmen to these five thousand-man squads.
Just now at the foot of the mountain,
Everyone cocked their crossbows.
The preparation is for a decisive strike against the enemy.
Although some of Li Kui's soldiers were puzzled,
But they still raised their crossbows in unison.
Shoot upwards.
Those behind could only look up and throw the projectiles into the sky.
The entire sky darkened.
The person launching the projectile from behind at a higher angle...
Many arrows landed outside the stone fortress.
However, many arrows also landed on the top of the stone fortress walls.
Some of the arrows even penetrated into the stone fortress.
The dozens of soldiers on the fortress wall did not fire a single arrow.
They were all shot into pincushions.
Zhao Yuan saw that there were no people standing on the fortress wall.
They hurriedly climbed upwards.
Han Shizhong and his group followed closely behind.
Below the stone fortress,
Only then did they realize that the fortress wall was at least ten feet high.
Zhao Yuan leaped into the air.
Climbing onto the fortress wall,
He flipped over and jumped up.
The dozens of men on the fortress walls were all lying in pools of blood.
Those who didn't die were rendered unable to move.
There were only a few dozen people on the city walls in this huge stone fortress.
Zhao Yuan jumped into the stone fortress.
Open the castle gate,
Have the players search all the rooms in the stone fortress.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
The soldiers kicked open the doors of the stone fortress.
They carefully used their group badges to conceal their presence as they entered to search.
"who?"
Suddenly a loud shout came from one direction.
Li Kui heard someone,
He immediately charged forward, brandishing his battle axe.
Zhao Yuan looked over there,
It was a room with obvious signs of smoke and fire.
There is also a chimney on the roof.
It looks like the kitchen of the stone fortress.
"General, spare our lives! We were captured by the Western Xia people."
"We are also Han Chinese."
Li Kui had just rushed up to him when
Then they heard two more sentences of Chinese spoken with a Kansai accent coming from inside.
Upon hearing that the person was Han Chinese, Li Kui shouted, "Bring him out!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the soldiers inside brought out three thin men.
The three men saw that many soldiers with swords were standing guard outside.
He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
Li Kui lifted up a person's face.
The man's face was covered with long, crisscrossing scars.
There's also a relatively new scar.
It looks like it was whipped.
The other two had their heads down.
But you can also see that his face is covered in scars.
Li Kui gritted his teeth,
What caused the scars on my face?
The skinny man saw the fierce look on Li Kui's face.
He looked like he was gritting his teeth again.
Even more frightened, he trembled as he spoke.
"The cooking was late, or too much water was spilled when fetching water from the foot of the mountain,"
"The Western Xia people whipped him with a horsewhip."
"You sons of bitches, I'm going to chop them up."
Li Kui cursed loudly.
He then turned and headed towards the fortress wall.
Zhao Yuan walked up to him,
"Everyone, stand up and speak."
"Thank you, General."
"Thank you, General."
The three kowtowed before getting up.
Zhao Yuan looked at the three men's timid and hesitant appearance.
"How long have you been captured?"
"I've had it for five years."
"I'll stay for three years."
The last person remained silent.
Hold up three fingers.
The man with fresh scars on his face, fearing his companion would be misunderstood, explained,
"His tongue was cut out by the Western Xia people."
Zhao Yuan frowned and asked, "Why?"
"The Western Xia people whipped him with horsewhips,"
"They said he was shouting too loudly, so they cut out his tongue."
Zhao Yuan was surprised to hear that this was the reason.
He couldn't help but curse, "Bastard!"
Han Shizhong shouted at Li Kui, who had just climbed over the wall.
"General Li, leave two alive, I'll beat him to death."
Yao Pingzhong was also furious and said,
"Go up on the wall and whip them."
Even the usually composed Hua Rong couldn't resist heading towards the city wall.
Li Kui originally intended to kill those Western Xia soldiers.
Upon hearing Han Shizhong's shout,
They also realized it.
Holding the axe in his hand,
They smashed the wounded soldier hard.
They always target areas that aren't fatal.
Chapter 1879 Han People
"You son of a bitch, I'll let you smoke,"
"I'll let you smoke. Let's see if you dare to smoke again."
The Western Xia soldiers on the city wall who weren't quite dead were suddenly caught in a life-or-death dilemma.
A series of cries and screams were heard.
The three listened to the screams coming from the city wall.
