Tan Zhi saw the firelight at the enemy camp and judged from this that even if the enemy deployed troops to attack the north gate, the force would not be too large.

Although Hu Sheng was not considered a powerful general in the Liaodong Army, he certainly knew how to attack the east and attack the west.

The purpose of deploying troops to the North Gate is simply to force yourself to deploy troops to defend the North Gate, thereby weakening the defensive strength of the South Gate.

Therefore, he did not transfer the main force to the north gate.

Only when a galloping horse came to report that the Liaodong soldiers were frantically attacking the North Gate, and there were many people attacking the city, Tan Zhicai suddenly realized that the enemy was not attacking from the east and west, but really wanted to attack the North Gate.

Although there were bright lights in the enemy camp outside the south gate, it was obviously a deception to make the defenders think that the enemy's main force had not been transferred.

In the dark night, even if you stand at the top of the city, it is difficult to see what is happening outside the city.

Moreover, the enemy troops outside the south gate never came over, so most of them had naturally been transferred away.

He was shocked and made an immediate decision. The 300 people left behind continued to guard the south gate, while he personally led the others to the north gate as quickly as possible.

In the darkness, the battle at the north gate of Jiashan Mountain was already fierce.

Hu Sheng knew that this siege could no longer be delayed.

Morale was getting lower and lower, and a lot of men and horses were being depleted in repeated sieges.

Therefore, after discussing with several of his generals, Hu Sheng finally made up his mind to devote the 800 elites he had on hand to the siege, and his generals must personally lead the siege.

If, in order to preserve their strength, they continue to let eight hundred elites sit in the rear, the new recruits from Liaodong will only become more and more frightened, and the city's destruction will be far away.

The defense of the south gate is very comprehensive, and the city head

Various materials for defending the city were prepared, and the troops and horses attacking the city were continuously repelled, and morale was also high.

Hu Sheng knew that if he continued to attack the south gate, even if the city was broken, the eight hundred elite soldiers would suffer heavy losses.

So he transferred the main force directly to the north gate at night, and ordered the soldiers to light more bonfires outside the south gate to confuse the defenders at the top of the city.

The Liaodong Army, which moved outside the North Gate in the middle of the night, did not make any repairs at all, set up its position, and launched an offensive against the North Gate during the night.

This time Hu Sheng did not hesitate, but directly devoted all 800 elite soldiers to the siege. At the front were two thousand recruits as human shields to rush towards the city, followed by 800 elite soldiers to follow. Behind the 800 elite soldiers

Behind them, more than a thousand people followed.

Four thousand Liaodong troops attacked the north of the city across the board.

Among the eight hundred elites, half of them had strong archery skills. They approached the city wall directly under the cover of the shield bearers, tied their arrows to pitch pine, lit them on fire, and shot towards the top of the city.

A volley of random arrows was fired, and instantly there was a burst of fire on the top of the city. When the offensive was launched, Tan Zhi had not yet led the troops to arrive. Most of the top of the city were brave men who had just been recruited. How could such a formation be seen? Amidst the shouts,

The defenders were in chaos, and chaos appeared on the top of the city.

The defense of the north gate is indeed far different from that of the south gate.

When the troops attacking the city saw this, their morale was boosted.

The Liaodong soldiers rushed forward like ants. The archers suppressed the defenders at the top of the city. Only a few people could resist. Taking advantage of this gap, the siege troops rushed to the base of the city wall as fast as possible and set up

Climb with ladders, and some people even climb with hooks and lassoes.

Hundreds of soldiers rushed to the city gate carrying huge trees and banged against the city gate.

for a while

The attacks are extremely violent and employ various methods.

If the recruits encounter difficulties, they will shrink back, but once they gain the upper hand, they will be excited.

After all, Hu Sheng had promised to be the first to attack the city, and there would be heavy rewards. If Jiashan City was captured, the wealth in the city would also be distributed to the soldiers as rewards.

After three consecutive days of attacking at the south gate, the situation was unfavorable and they continued to suffer setbacks. The morale of the soldiers attacking the city was already extremely low.

But at this moment, the attack went smoothly, and the morale of the Liaodong soldiers immediately improved.

There was a huge fire at the top of the city. Although the defenders at the top of the city were a little confused, they did not sit still and wait for death.

In any case, there are still their relatives in the city.

Many soldiers threw down the sand and fired arrows to put out the fire and resist.

Moreover, someone was already beating the drum on the city head to boost morale. The few archers still fired arrows bravely to fight back. Many soldiers were suppressed by the enemy's arrows and, regardless of life and death, they lifted rocks and huge trees and threw them at the bottom of the city.

, some brave soldiers stood guard by the ladder, throwing stones at the enemy who climbed up the ladder, while fighting with the enemy who climbed up.

For a time, there was a stalemate on the offensive and defensive side of the city, and blood flowed into the river.

When Hu Sheng saw his soldiers falling off the wall, he showed no mercy.

Although the defenders at the top of the city resisted desperately, many Liaodong soldiers had climbed up to the top of the city. In an instant, soldiers from both sides started fighting hand-to-hand at the top of the city. When the soldiers below the city saw their companions climbing over the wall, they cheered thunderously and swarmed toward the armored soldiers.

The mountain city surged past.

At this time, they were just staring at Jiashan City.

Because after entering the city, you can get gold, silver, jewelry, and even rob women, and no one will look back.

Hu Sheng

is also like this.

Seeing many soldiers ascending to the top of the city, and the city gate seeming to be broken open at any moment by the impact of the giant trees, he felt excited.

This was not only because the city was about to be destroyed, but more importantly because his strategy actually worked.

To deceive the enemy at the south gate and attack the north gate at night, this was a helpless method that came up after the south gate could not be captured, but it was unexpectedly effective.

He was very excited. Once this battle was successful, his ability to command on the battlefield would be greatly bragging for a while.

But in his excitement, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The ground seemed to be shaking.

Then there was a rumbling sound coming from behind, like thousands of troops.

When Hu Sheng thought of something, his face changed greatly and he looked back. He saw that the few dozen soldiers behind him had obviously noticed something was wrong and turned around to look around.

Hu Sheng held the knife in his hand, knowing that something was wrong.

Amidst the rumbling sound, many figures were seen appearing in the north under the night, and it was obvious that soldiers and horses were attacking.

Who is the opponent?

Of course it couldn't be the city's defenders.

He knew very well how many men and horses there were in the city, not to mention that some soldiers and horses were left to guard the south gate. If there was any movement over there, there would definitely be fast horses to report it. The most important thing was that he knew that there could not be too many cavalry in the city.

If it wasn't the Jiashan Army, which army would it be?

Although Huangfu Yunzhao was thought of, Huangfu Yunzhao's men and horses were closely watched by the spies he sent. As long as there was any sign of an advance over there, there would also be fast horses galloping to report it.

But it was too late for him to think too much.

The soldiers and horses at the rear looked like ghost legions emerging from the ground in the night. The sound of horse hooves made them rush towards us.

At this time, the troops and horses attacking the city must be recalled.

It is simply a foolish dream to resist the enemy with one's head.

A group of cavalry rushed over like cutting through the wind and waves. Their horses were as strong as flying. The cavalry on horseback were all waving their swords and looked cold.

The leading general was wearing armor and holding a sword in one hand, like a tiger, leading a pack of wolves down the mountain.

"Ming Jin, return the troops!" In shock, Hu Sheng had no time to think and shouted loudly: "Quick, Ming Jin, Ming Jin!"

The soldiers who were attacking the city were all in a state of excitement, and no one seemed to notice that the enemy troops were attacking from behind. Hu Sheng could only let people shout gold.

On the battlefield, the sound of drums and the sound of gold are the most sensitive to the soldiers.

The sound of drums advances, and the sound of gold collects.

At this time, there was no way to order the soldiers to turn back and resist, so they could only ask them to withdraw, so that when the soldiers turned around they would find the enemy troops behind them.

Before the sixty or seventy soldiers behind them had time to prepare, the enemy cavalry had already rushed over. With the momentum of the fast horses, the dozens of people in front of the enemy cavalry instantly scattered the Liaodong soldiers, blood spattered, and tragic results.

The screams continued, and these Liaodong soldiers were in a hurry and had no power to fight back. They cried for their fathers and mothers and ran for their lives.

Hu Sheng's reaction was swift.

He knew that if he hesitated even a little, the enemy cavalry would rush in front of him and cut off his head easily, so without any hesitation, he had already urged his horse to run toward the city before the enemy cavalry rushed over.

His main troops were attacking the city, so he had no choice but to move forward.

In the night, the sound of horns came from the cavalry formation that was attacking.

The sound of the trumpet was low and solemn, spreading far and wide, lingering in the heaven and earth.

The Liaodong soldiers who were attacking the city finally realized that something was wrong, and many of them turned back.

Night attack

The cavalry came without delay at all. The general led by the general urged his horse to rush towards the Liaodong Army under the city. The cavalry behind him followed the general and rushed out in unison. The horses' hooves were like thunder and the earth trembled. At this moment, the defenders at the top of the city were

Finally, I discovered that a cavalry suddenly appeared outside the city, and like a sharp arrow, it pierced into the Liaodong army's formation, killing them like crazy.

The situation of the soldiers on the city wall was already extremely difficult.

There are only about a hundred regular soldiers at the north gate, and the others are young men temporarily recruited from the city. Some of these people have just learned how to hold a sword, and do not even know how to fight the enemy on the battlefield. Therefore, after the Liaodong Army climbed to the top of the city,

Although the defenders resisted desperately, their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Liaodong Army.

Most of the Liaodong soldiers who climbed the ladder and climbed to the top of the city were the eight hundred elite veterans under Hu Sheng. These people were well-trained and their fighting skills were far beyond what ordinary people could compare with. Therefore, in close combat, these Liaodong veterans had an absolute advantage.

The advantage.

The defenders were at a disadvantage, suffered heavy casualties, and could not hold on. At this time, reinforcements came from the sky. Although it was unclear where the reinforcements came from, the sound of the reinforcement horns also boosted the morale and courage of the defenders at the top of the city.

Increase the number again and continue to fight the enemy.

Although the Liaodong veterans who climbed to the top of the city were brave, they were not too many after all. Moreover, when their companions saw that enemy troops were coming from behind, they did not care to continue attacking the city for a while, and turned around to resist the cavalry coming from behind. Some of them

The soldiers who had climbed up the ladder quickly withdrew from the ladder. Under the shouts of the generals, they surrounded the cavalry in confusion.

At this time, the Liaodong soldiers who boarded the city
Chapter completed!
