Chapter 45: Closing the Gap

"The city is broken! The city is broken!"

Seeing this scene, the numb-looking soldiers outside the city suddenly became very motivated, and they all seemed to be injected with chicken blood, flocking towards the collapsed city wall gap.

"Cheng Sheng, He Zhang, Liu Hong, you will lead our troops and occupy that gap immediately for me."

In the heavy rain, Yang Zong, who was full of fatigue, smiled for a long time and immediately ordered the three generals beside him.

The three of them shouted and said, "Yes."

The troops led by the three of them were all elite troops brought out by Yang Zong over the years. Both the combat power and the equipment on his body were stronger than other ordinary troops. It was obvious that he was going to take action at this time.

The three men's headquarters were about 7,500 people, and they were divided into three formations and rushed towards the gap.

On the top of the city, Wang Tieniu immediately reacted as soon as the gap appeared. Without saying a word, he took his personal soldiers and a large number of soldiers to bet on the gap.

"Prince, can this city still be kept?"

Looking at the red waves coming from outside the gap, a personal soldier couldn't help asking.

"Bang."

Wang Tieniu slapped the personal soldier with a gloomy face.

If it weren't for the personal soldier who was his confidant, he wouldn't have swung his slap, but a sharp horizontal sword.

"There is a man and the city is here! Isn't it just a gap? Just fill it up!"

Wang Tieniu scolded fiercely.

"Damn it, subordinate."

The personal soldier looked at Wang Tieniu with guilt on his face, with a red slap on his face.

"Go and call some of the archers over!"

Wang Tieniu looked at the gap and began to think about how to set up defenses.

The gap is not too wide, about three meters away, and the city walls on both sides are still very stable. If arranged properly, in such a narrow place, it might be possible to give the soldiers outside a head-on attack.

Soon, the archers in the city arrived here, and then formed a pocket array based on the terrain. In the center, Wang Tieniu personally led the most elite troops to defend.

The army outside the city came very quickly. As soon as the gap was arranged, their vanguard rushed up along the slope of the collapsed city wall.

"shoot!"

With a loud roar, a rapid rain of arrows immediately covered the vanguard troops rushing in along the gap. With the blessing of Liu Feng's official buff, the power of these arrows was comparable to that of a strong bow and could penetrate ordinary light armor.

The soldiers who rushed in could not defend against the rain of arrows shot from above, and were instantly shot into hedgehogs by dense arrows.

After the vanguard was exhausted, the elite central army led by Cheng Sheng and others also arrived.

"rush!"

Cheng Sheng, wearing thick fish scale armor, led the way. He held a tiger-headed spear in one hand and an iron shield in the other hand, and rushed up quickly in the rain of arrows. The arrows shot in front were either blocked by his inches of thick iron shield or flew by the long spear in his hand.

At this time, the battle is speed, and the bet is life. Cheng Sheng knew very well that those who rushed on the battlefield may not necessarily die, but those who ran slowly will never end up. For so many years, he has never been wandering between life and death. During the running, his whole body shortened, and with some raised brick walls, he rushed towards the top like a flying arrow while dodging.

The soldiers following Cheng Sheng kept falling down, and the sharp arrows shot in front were like the sickle of the god of death, constantly harvesting the lives of the soldiers. On the slope formed by the gap, countless corpses rolled down and piled up together, paving a path of flesh and blood.

In the distance, Yang Zong looked at the soldiers who were pierced by sharp arrows from afar, and felt aching in his heart. These were all direct troops brought out by him. Each of them was an old soldier on the battlefield. One was a missing one, and one could not be replenished in a short time.

How much effort has he spent on this direct line over the years? This is his capital to gain a foothold in the army.

Looking at the soldiers who were lying in a pool of blood under his military order, Yang Zong couldn't help but close his eyes and couldn't bear to look.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a cheer came from my side.

"General, General Cheng has led his men in!"

When Yang Zong heard this, he immediately tried to stabilize his emotions. He looked up and looked slightly excited. At the gap in the city wall ahead, the first half of his red soldiers had already rushed in.

Unfortunately, due to the obstruction of the city wall, the situation inside could not be seen. However, the soldiers in the gap and outside were still exposed to the range of the archers on the walls on both sides, and people kept falling down.

"kill---"

Cheng Sheng opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly, and his blood-stained cheeks became extremely ferocious.

His left arm was tightly attached to the iron shield, half of his body was hidden behind the half-human-high iron shield, and then he rushed towards the gun array erected in front.

The rough spear head hit the iron shield and suddenly splashed out several sparks. Then the gun rod was directly broken by the impact force brought by the iron shield. The soldiers behind were directly knocked away by the large shield that was photographed and fell behind.

After the dense gun array was opened with a gap, Cheng Sheng was like a violent lion, with the tiger-headed gun in his hand causing a burst of sounds of breaking through the air, and in the rain, blew up the fog.

But in the blink of an eye, he overturned seven or eight soldiers, rushed into the gun array and started killing. The elite soldiers following him immediately took the opportunity to kill in along the open gap.

"Stop him! Zhou Wencai, come with me!"

Looking at Cheng Sheng, who had instantly tore open his formation, Wang Tieniu's face changed. He greeted Zhou Wencai beside him, and rushed towards Cheng Sheng with a horizontal knife. Zhou Wencai followed closely.

With only personal strength, the two of them may not be as good as Cheng Sheng, but the two of them worked together, and the black armored personal soldiers around Wang Tieniu, Cheng Sheng's steps were immediately blocked. As soon as he stopped, the soldiers of the Qian Dynasty who rushed in from behind naturally could not continue to move forward, but the people outside the gap continued to squeeze into it.

The people on both sides were crowded near a gap several meters wide, and there was no room for wielding the knife. Some people who accidentally tripped were immediately submerged in the crowd and were trampled into meat paste.

This situation is undoubtedly the most beneficial to the defenders. After all, the troops on both sides are unable to move, and the soldiers of the Qian Dynasty behind become living targets, and even if they want to dodge, they have no choice.

Looking at the soldiers who were crowded near the gap and were shot from above and constantly devouring their lives, Yang Zong couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. At this time, he knew very well that if he didn't retreat, his little men would be left there.

"Ming Jin!"

As his orders passed, the sound of gold sounded.

The soldiers who were crowded in the gap immediately began to retreat and retreated.
