Chapter 48 Terrible war!
"Command the three armies to bury the pot and make rice immediately, open it for me to eat, and follow me to attack Tieshan City in an hour!"
After the old coach Yang Chengxiong pondered for a long time, he finally made up his mind to take a gamble.
Yang Chengxiong knew very well that in this situation, he could only try his best to gain a chance of survival.
Because if he continues to waste his time, his army will surely self-destruct due to lack of food and grass; if he attacks Xiliu City from behind, he will be surrounded by Zhang Liao's army, and he will definitely die by then.
Only by attacking Tieshan City head-on, there is still a 10% chance.
"promise!"
None of the generals on both sides had any objections. They understood the old commander's plan, and they all understood that the only way to survive was to fight to the death!
An hour later, under Tieshan City, there were countless banners, and 400,000 Liefeng Dynasty troops gathered at the north gate of Tieshan City, vowing to seize the city and kill Zhang Liao.
"It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Looking at the densely packed and well-organized enemy soldiers under the city, Zhang Liao Nannan said to himself.
"All officers and men listen to the order and attack the city for me!"
Yang Chengxiong pointed the long sword in his hand toward the sky, and his deep voice reached the ears of every soldier.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The killing cries of 400,000 soldiers pierced the sky, and the scene was truly shocking.
This 400,000-strong army is all veteran soldiers led by Yang Chengxiong. They have rich experience in sieges. They have broken countless cities! Their achievements are brilliant! Today they will continue their legend!
Three or five soldiers at the forefront of the siege team raised a giant shield and charged towards the city wall.
The soldiers of the second echelon carried battering rams and ladders and ran to keep up.
"Let me shoot your arrows accurately!"
After all, the Tang Dynasty had little knowledge and a limited number of arrows. Zhang Liao could not get enough supplies, so he could only let his soldiers shoot more accurately.
However, the elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty did not disappoint Zhang Liao. The fire arrows swept towards the enemy army overwhelmingly, and almost every arrow fell, causing casualties.
The endless fire arrows created graceful arcs in the air, and brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, as if the devil was celebrating this feast of death.
"Fighters from the Gale Dynasty are never cowards. Keep charging, don't stop!"
Although tens of thousands of corpses have been left under Tieshan City, Yang Chengxiong's intention to attack Tieshan City has never wavered!
Only fearlessness can lead to success!
"Go, go, go!"
More and more soldiers of the Gale Dynasty rushed towards the Iron Mountain City. Even if the fire arrows covered the entire Iron Mountain City, they could not stop this endless army from charging without fear of death.
Finally, after paying the price of nearly 100,000 people, the soldiers of the Gale Dynasty finally stepped through the sea of fire arrows, successfully climbed up the ladder, and were about to climb the city wall and seize the city in hand-to-hand combat.
"Put me rolling logs, rocks, and kerosene!"
Seeing that the enemy troops were approaching, Zhang Liao immediately ordered to stop firing arrows and start a new round of defensive battle.
Rolling logs and stones roared down, and the enemy soldiers who were climbing the ladder were smashed to the head and bleeding, and they were in a miserable state.
Afterwards, elite soldiers from the Southern Song Dynasty poured pots of fire oil that had been boiling until they boiled.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Under the city wall, screams were heard one after another. After a while, there were mountains of corpses directly under the city wall. The death was miserable and horrifying.
Fortunately, the Gale Dynasty were all veterans of many battles. Otherwise, some of the soldiers would have been unable to withstand the fear in their hearts and began to howl and run away.
The combination of rolling wood, stone and hot fire oil was like the giant pillar holding the sky, tightly suppressing the enemy's offensive under the city wall, preventing them from advancing even an inch.
"General, step forward and clear the way for the soldiers! The first one to set foot on the city wall will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with ten thousand gold!"
"promise!"
At this point in the battle, his 400,000-strong army had reduced to less than 200,000. Yang Chengxiong understood that it would be difficult to charge up the city wall with the strength of his soldiers alone. Now he could only rely on the bravery of his generals to fight his way out.
As dozens of generals from the Gale Dynasty entered the battlefield, the situation gradually reversed. After paying the lives of nearly ten more generals, a general finally stepped onto the city wall.
"kill!"
This general's strength was extraordinary, and he quickly found a harmless passage into the city wall.
This passage was like a flood that burst its banks, getting bigger and bigger, and more and more soldiers of the Gale Dynasty climbed onto the city wall.
The war gradually became intense, and Zhang Liao had already ordered his soldiers to pick up their swords and start guarding the city wall.
Before the enemy army set foot on the city wall, the enemy army had already paid the price of more than 200,000 dead soldiers, which was enough in Zhang Liao's opinion.
At present, he has 10,000 Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty and 80,000 elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty, totaling 90,000 troops. Zhang Liao believes that these 90,000 people are enough to destroy the enemy!
However, Zhang Liao far underestimated the determination of the Gale Dynasty army to take revenge.
"Kill! Revenge for the dead Paoze!"
One by one, the veterans of the Gale Dynasty charged into the city wall full of anger. They were brave and fearless, and they were not afraid of life or death!
Gradually, they discovered that anger was useless. The individual combat capabilities of the elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty were too strong, powerful enough to make them despair.
Then, a terrible and tragic thing happened. Every veteran of the Gale Dynasty desperately entangled their opponents, used secret methods, and forced them to die together.
Bloody and enchanting mushroom clouds rose in the mid-air, and large mushroom clouds filled the entire sky. Unknowingly, the sky above Iron Mountain City was already stained with blood.
"this?"
Even though Zhang Liao had experienced hundreds of battles, he couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect the soldiers of the Gale Dynasty to be so bloody!
But he really couldn't handle this extremely helpless suicidal style.
The self-destruction battle is still going on. Even if the elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty try their best to avoid the enemy's self-destruction, they will still be continuously affected by the energy of the self-destruction.
There is no skill at all in such a battle, and the speed of damage is absolutely unparalleled.
In less than half an hour, the enemy's number of self-destructions was definitely no less than 100,000, and Zhang Liao only had less than 5,000 Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty and more than 20,000 elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty left.
At this point in the war, both sides were already fighting with real fire, and the Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty who were rushing to the front were also furious.
It is not known who was the leader. The Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty rushed into the center of the enemy army and exploded wildly. In just half a quarter of an hour, all the Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty died heroically, and the number of remaining enemy troops was less than 20,000.
At this time, Guo Sheng and Tong Meng led 10,000 elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty into the enemy's rear.
Even Yang Chengxiong did not react to this sudden change, and the soldiers of the Gale Dynasty did not have time to organize a defense. Moreover, because Guo Sheng and Tong Meng led the troops to charge too fast, the enemy troops did not even have time to self-destruct.
The remaining elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty on the city wall seized the opportunity and immediately rushed forward to kill them.
Together with the 10,000 elite soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty led by Guo Sheng and Tong Meng, they attacked from front to back and soon the enemy troops were slaughtered.
