"Get ready to throw stones!"

"put!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"The crossbowman presses forward and releases the arrow!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"The army attacks! Advance!"

"Kill!"

This is Ningzhou City. The Ning army who came back from Jiaodong Road for emergency reinforcements rushed towards the city wall of Ningzhou City like a tide. The soldiers rushed forward one after another, shouting to kill.

Teams of rangers shuttled back and forth between the infantry formations, issuing military orders one after another to the ears of every leading general. At the same time, the sound of rumbling war drums resounded throughout the battlefield.

Bows, crossbows, and stone throws cooperated with each other to form a long-range offensive, which caused the Yan army on the city to suffer a lot.

The Ning army had been fighting fiercely with the Long army on the Jiaodong Road for nearly two years, and they had already mastered the tactics of siege.

Similarly, the roars of the generals of the Yan army resounded from the top of the city:

"Hold on, let go of arrows!"

"The crossbowmen are arrayed, here, shoot the arrows!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"The entire army must not retreat, kill!"

"You, stand up to me! If you dare to take a step back, I will chop you up!"

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"Ahhh!"

"Let another group of infantry go there, and the spearmen push forward. No one is allowed to evacuate the city wall!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Pffffffffffff~"

"Ahhhh~"

The infantry of the Yan army hurled stones all over the sky, resisting the attacks of the Ning army one after another in the rain of arrows. The screams were endless, and the dust stirred up by the stone throws made it difficult to open one's eyes.

At every moment, the Ning army attacked the city and fought hand-to-hand with the Yan army. The clash of swords echoed on the city top. In order to repel the Ning army, the Yan army even sent out the supervisory team. Anyone dared to retreat.

step:

Make the decision!

This is a death order from Nalantingye.

It was the first time for these infantrymen from the grasslands to participate in the battle as a defender of the city. They found that defending the city was not much easier than attacking the city. People were dying every moment. The bleeding corpses of their colleagues fell at their feet, one by one.

Broken limbs and broken arms are scattered everywhere, and sometimes arrows almost fly past your scalp...

The war was far more tragic than they imagined, and even wanting to leave a whole body behind became a luxury.

This was the fifth day of the Ningzhou offensive and defensive battle. It was only the fifth day. The Yan army had already suffered more than 4,000 casualties. Almost all of them were killed or seriously injured. The minor injuries were not included in the statistics.

At the moment when everyone was defending the upper city, they didn't know whether they could escape alive, and they just threw themselves into the fight numbly.

In addition to the yellow-backed silver fox flag, one of the eight banners, the Yan army in Ningzhou City also had more than 30,000 Dongting infantry and some of the Yan family's personal troops. Not counting the cavalry, the total force that the Yan army could use to defend the city was

Never more than 50,000.

However, there were hundreds of thousands of Ning troops besieging the city, all of them veterans who had just been withdrawn from the frontline battlefield, as well as the world-famous Chang family cavalry.

The Ning army's siege was not without ferocity. The catapults alone completely surrounded Ningzhou City. The stones that were thrown at the city every day could probably form a hill if put together.

The only thing that makes Yan Jun feel lucky is that Ningzhou City is still in their hands until now.

"Attack! Kill!"

"Don't retreat! Charge me!"

"Kill!"

"Chi chi chi."

"Kill! Kill all these bastards!"

Both sides were furious, and the morale of Ning's army was extremely strong these days, because they came with the mission of revenge and the goal of returning home.

Only by capturing this Ningzhou city can they return to their hometown and rescue their families who were bullied by the Yan army.

So even the most timid soldiers in normal times will now brave the rain of arrows to climb onto the city.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers received only one order:

attack!

attack!

Attack again!

"Chi chi chi~"

"Ahhhh~"

Corpses fell from the city walls one after another, and then fell into a pile of mud. The comrades who were laughing and joking with you one moment would have their heads dropped to the ground the next moment.

Human life is like a piece of grass!

At this point in the battle, it all depends on who is more unafraid of death.

…

"Ding ding~ ding ding~"

The sun slowly set, and the loud sound of ringing gold penetrated the entire battlefield, making the entire battlefield silent, and then the densely packed Ning army began to retreat:

"The cavalry breaks off and the infantry retreats!"

"Stabilize the formation and don't mess up!"

After a whole day of fighting, the slightly exhausted Ning army retreated like a tide, leaving behind a mess on the ground and countless bloody corpses.

The Ning army's retreat was also very organized. It seemed a little unorganized, but in fact there was a large group of cavalry behind them. If the Yan army drove out of the city and attacked in a sneak attack, the Ning army would definitely give it a fatal blow.

In the first two days of the siege, the Ning army even pretended to be disorganized and retreated, trying to trick the defenders out of the city. Who knew that the Yan army would not accept this trick at all, even if you lie on his side?

If you sleep outside the city gate, they won't even come out to take a second look at you.

The smoke filled the air and the sound of drums gradually died down.

When the sun rises tomorrow, they will come again and their attack will be even more fierce.

…

As night fell little by little, countless torches lit up inside and outside the city, and the fires lit by hundreds of thousands of Ningjun soldiers illuminated half of the sky.

In the city, the Yan army commander's tent was crowded with people. Except for the generals who were on duty at night, all the other generals were here. They came on the orders of Nalan Tingye and seemed to have important military affairs to discuss.

Almost all of these people were Yan generals, and there were only a few generals from the Yan family.

The troops defending the city in Ningzhou were still dominated by the Yan army, and some Yan family soldiers were also involved.

It's not that the Yan army cares about the lives of the Yan family's soldiers and can't bear to send them to fight to the death with the Chang family. It's just that this battle is too important and they can't trust the Yan family's soldiers.

The generals of the Yan family were also well aware of this phenomenon, and it was impossible for them to trust these Yan people without reservation, who did not keep a hand behind their backs. Since the Yan army did not send them to fight, they were happy to lie down and sleep in the military camp.

Great awakening.

The faces of these Yan army generals were full of sadness and aggrievedness. Most of their armors were stained with dust and blood, and they had no time to take them off and clean them.

After fighting for so many years, who has not galloped across the grasslands and won countless battles? Today, in this city of Ningzhou, the Ning army was beaten so hard that they could not hold their heads up.

In the past few days, everyone took turns to defend the city. They saw with their own eyes that their soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Many of their former trusted subordinates were killed in the battle on the city wall, leaving no body intact. They all doubted in their hearts, could they really defend Ningzhou under such an offensive?

?

They may not be afraid of death, but they are afraid of meaningless death.

Sitting in the main seat was naturally the elegant Nalan Tingye, who was wearing a long gown. Strictly speaking, this was his first time leading an army independently.

In fact, in terms of leading the army, the generals did not think that Nalan Tingye was suitable to be the commander-in-chief. However, he was a serious young patriarch of one of the five tribes, and they had a close relationship with the Crown Prince. No one could think of it.
