The first layer of external defense is the most tragic battle. No matter it is the Ning army or the black warrior, no one will be convinced by anyone in the initial battle. Everyone wants to convince the opponent. The battle is so fierce that the loss of troops on both sides can make people feel numb, but no one is convinced.

The outer line was broken, but the black warriors probably would have never imagined that just breaking through the outer line would have lost so many troops. The Ning army's combat power cast a heavier shadow in the hearts of the black warriors. They underestimated the belief of the Daning warriors to defend His Majesty the Emperor.

Tacitly speaking, after the black warrior's offensive retreated, both sides began to take back the bodies of their comrades on the battlefield. This was the most shocking scene on the battlefield, but it happened every day, but it was only within a small range, and no one dared to go closer to the enemy.

The two sides who were fighting to the death not long ago walked by each other silently and distinguished the bodies. When both sides passed by each other, they would look at each other and see fatigue and wood in each other's eyes.

Killing is the main theme on the battlefield, but not all.

The people from both sides took back the comrade's body and waited for the start of the next killing.

Chen Leng had to return to the city wall to command. After the first line of defense was broken, the black warrior was already very close to the city wall.

"Send the order and give up the second line of defense."

"ah?"

Chen Leng's subordinates were all stunned after hearing the order.

"Give up the second line of defense?"

"General, if you give up, the black warrior can attack the city directly!"

"General, let me go down to command, I will definitely be able to block the attack of the black warriors!"

"General, you can't retreat."

Chen Leng shook his head: "I know your abilities, and I also know your determination, but look at the battlefield that compresses the second line of defense, which is less than 30 feet away. At this distance, the second line of defense is covered by the Black Warrior Arrow Formation, and tens of thousands of brothers will be squeezed to death by the Black Warriors little by little. In fact, we all know that the significance of the second line of defense is that the brothers who support the first line of defense have withdrawn, and now this mission has been completed."

Chen Leng let out a long sigh: "Retreat."

"yes!"

Wang Kuohai responded, and the sound of a trumpet sounded. The soldiers on the first line of defense under the city were surprised when they heard the sound of a trumpet withdrawing into the city. However, the military orders were like mountains, and the soldiers began to withdraw into the city in an orderly manner.

On the side of the black warriors, they seemed to see the dawn when they saw Ning Jun abandoning the last line of defense outside the city.

"Before dark!"

Yero, the black warrior general in the northern line, shouted loudly: "Catch the other ancient city and capture Emperor Ning alive!"

"Catch another ancient city!"

"Capture Emperor Ning alive!"

"Kill Ningren all!"

The roar of the black warriors rose straight to Yuntian, and the retreat of the Ning army's defense line made the black warriors very angry.

Give up the last line of defense outside the city, which made the Ning army soldiers feel depressed.

The first line of defense is far away from the city. Without the support of the second line of defense, the first line of defense will be surrounded by black warriors and it is impossible to retreat.

There is no problem with Shen Leng’s orders. This is something that everyone knows, but it is hard to accept.

"All heavy crossbows are ready."

Chen Leng didn't have time to explain so much: "The enemy's offensive is coming soon."

The black warriors outside the city rushed to the sea, and the black crowd rushed up again.

Behind the first line of defense is the trench that Chen Leng ordered to be dug out before. With these

For trenches, it becomes difficult for the black warriors to quickly rush to the city, and there is a gap between the trenches. If trenches are like moats, those intervals are bridges on the moat. When Chen Leng ordered the trenches to be dug in this way, many people did not understand, but Chen Leng did not change his decision.

The black warriors rushed through the first line of defense. Because of the existence of the trenches, they could only rush into the space between the trenches.

"kill!"

With Chen Leng's order, all the heavy crossbows on the city wall aimed at the open spaces. The black warriors accumulated there, so they still needed to aim. They just needed to smash the heavy crossbows and feather arrows over there. A row of six or seven heavy crossbow arrows blasted over, and countless black warriors in the narrow open space were pierced to death. Under the ears of feather arrows, the first wave of the black warriors' offensive was quickly suppressed back.

The open space between the trenches was covered with corpses. Under the huge power of the heavy crossbow, wherever they passed was like plowing the ground, all the black warriors on a line were penetrated to death.

But soon, the second wave of offensive came up again. The black warrior holding a giant shield rushed forward frantically. The heavy crossbow on the city wall showed its might again. The shield was shattered and the people were penetrated. The dense feather arrows made the black warrior pay countless lives every step forward. The corpses on the open space had begun to accumulate, and the second wave of offensive of the black warrior was suppressed again.

"Fill the trench with the corpse!"

Yero's shouts exploded in the black warriors' team.

The crazy black warrior rushed over regardless of life and death, lifted up his comrade's body and threw it into the trenches on both sides. People were dying and the trenches were constantly being filled.

Finally, after paying the price of thousands of people, the trenches were filled with corpses by black warriors. The subsequent black warriors rushed forward on the corpses of these comrades. Ning Jun's feather arrows were still killing the enemy in large numbers. However, compared with the previous massacres, the number of enemies killed and injured at this time was far less than that.

"General!"

The roar of the personal soldiers rang beside Shen Leng: "The black warrior has rushed to the second line of defense."

The second line of defense also dug trenches. If the black warriors enter the trenches, the archers on the city wall will be less lethal to them.

"Let them come over, shoot them in the distance with archers and heavy crossbows, and cut off the black warriors in the front and the team behind them."

With the cold military order, the archers sent the feather arrows farther away, and the heavy crossbows shot out in rows. The black warriors pressed up behind were hit by such dense defense and suffered heavy losses, just as if a fire was buried with soil to create an isolation belt. A large number of black warriors in front had already rushed to the ancient city. In order to avoid the feather arrows, many people jumped into the trench dug by Ning Jun, but at this time, the wooden barrels on the city wall were thrown down one by one, and the barrels were filled with tinder oil. As the burning rocket landed, the entire second line of defense was instantly swallowed by the fire.

A lot of gunpowder was sprinkled in the trench on the second line of defense. The moment the tinder oil was lit, the gunpowder exploded, and countless black warriors were swallowed up. At some point, the fire exceeded the walls of another ancient city, so that the defenders on the walls were roasted and had to squat down.

The flames rising into the sky were like roaring war souls. The souls of all the Ning soldiers who died in battle gathered here. Perhaps it was a human illusion, or an illusion. When the flames rose to the highest point, it seemed to turn into a huge tiger and pounced towards the black warrior. It was the power sent by a gust of south wind.

Under the city wall, there were ghosts and wolves howling, and the black warriors on fire were shouting incredibly miserable, and the people kept struggling in the sea of ​​fire.

When the sea of ​​fire is receding, there are burnt corpses on the ground below the city wall.

The fire once again retreated the fierce attack of the black warrior. The sky gradually darkened, and the remaining fire also stopped the black warrior.

The next attack came soon. The black warrior who retreated watched the flames shrink from a distance, but he did not dare to attack immediately.

Another rare time to breathe.

"Replenish the bow and arrow! Change the defense!"

Chen Leng shouted, his voice hoarse.

The soldiers in the city rushed up to the city carrying bundles of feather arrows. The reserve team replaced the soldiers who had just been guarding the city wall. The injured people were also carried down the city wall. The wounded medicine was already saving and used. The wounded people were so many that they were numb. The emperor prepared for this battle for a long time. The weapons and equipment they carried without affecting the army's advance were already at the limit, but the consumption of feather arrows was still far beyond the estimate. Especially on the northern line, the believers of the Jianmen did not take life and death seriously at all. In their opinion, death was to go to the Moon God Palace to meet the Moon God.

"General, you go and have a rest. You haven't closed your eyes for two days and two nights."

Chen Ran handed Chen Leng a pot of water, and in front of the soldiers he would not call Chen Leng Leng Zi.

"No, just lean against the city wall for a while and then sniff for a while."

Chen Leng took the kettle and took a sip. His throat was so dry that it seemed to be burning. He didn't dare to drink the first sip of water. It felt like the water was torn through his throat.

After a few sips of water, Chen Leng hit Chen Ran with his shoulder: "Get something to eat."

Chen Ran snorted and pulled out a cloth bag from his breastplate. There were two squished steamed buns inside. Chen Leng smiled when he saw the steamed buns, took them over and killed one in two mouthfuls, and then asked Chen Ran: "Do you still have them?"

Chen Ran said: "This is leftover at noon. I've eaten it. You were still outside the city at noon and didn't have time to come back. You eat it first, and dinner should be delivered later."

Chen Leng nodded, stuffed the second steamed bun into his mouth, and looked at Chen Ran's breastplate: "It's a good place to keep warm, it smells like a mother."

Chen Ran: "Get out"

He leaned against the city wall and sat down: "You can still laugh. Now the methods that the city defense can use are almost all. At most, our feather arrows will be used up in seven days. What should we do after seven days? We can only slash against the enemy on the city wall. If His Majesty doesn't leave, it will be too late."

"Your Majesty will not leave."

Chen Leng ate the steamed buns and took another sip of water. The stomach was not so good, but it hurt. But this pain was also a kind of satisfaction for Chen Leng, who had not eaten for the past day. It was the pain after eating, which was better than the pain of hunger.

"I hope the sword is coming soon."

Chen Leng breathed out: "Your Majesty has planned everything, and the variables like Xin Fengyue are all within His Majesty's calculations. I believe that the sword and weapon is coming soon. The old general cannot solve the matter there so slowly. If the sword and weapon come over, we can hold on for a while, and in addition."

Chen Leng looked at Chen Ran: "You know, I don't like to rely too much on others when fighting, even if His Majesty is ready."

Chen Ran said huh: "So what?"

Chen Leng: "So you haven't gone to see when dinner will be delivered? How can you eat the two steamed buns that are as big as your milk!"

Chen Ran: "Your uncle, what arrangements do you have?"

Chen Leng looked at the crescent moon, which was gradually turning slightly white in the distance: "Battle Soldier is His Majesty's last card, and I only have one card."
Chapter completed!
