Gan Zhen originally planned to lead his troops to rush eastward and join Long Chen's army, but the besieging army suddenly turned around.
"Could it be that King Wu has arrived!"
Gan Zhen immediately shouted, but the brothers around him didn't believe it and asked in surprise: "Why are you here, sir?"
Before Gan Zhen could explain, he heard the enemy shouting: "Long Chengen is here, kill him!"
Hearing the shout, the Nilin Army was overjoyed and said: "King Wu is here, brothers, kill!"
The remaining over one hundred Rebel Army troops rushed eastward, tore a hole in the enemy's back and rushed towards Long Chen's direction.
Long Chen was surrounded heavily, and the Xixia soldiers were in a mess, with swords, spears, swords and halberds piercing the middle.
Long Chen cut off the stabbing soldiers, jumped up, stepped on the soldiers' helmets, and charged towards the surrounded Shi Le.
"Escort!"
The guards shouted, raising their spears high and stabbing Long Chen.
Long Chen pulled away, fell back into the enemy formation, and killed a dozen more people with his backhand.
Shi Le's left arm was split open by Long Chen, and blood kept flowing out. If it weren't for the protection of the fine armor, his left arm would have been severed by a sword.
"Your Majesty, withdraw!"
The personal guards knew that Shi Le had a bad temper and refused to retreat easily.
But this time, Shi Le immediately retreated without any hesitation.
After retreating to the formation, Shi Le issued an order: "Fire arrows and shoot him to death with random arrows!"
The crossbowmen at the top immediately released arrows, thousands of feather arrows fell, and the Xixia soldiers were shot to death.
When Long Chen heard the whistle of arrows, he immediately grabbed a soldier and put it on his head as a human shield.
"Keep playing!"
Shi Le was furious and shouted wildly.
The random arrows caused the Xixia soldiers to flee in all directions. They could accept being hacked to death by Long Chen, but they could not accept being shot to death by their own random arrows.
"Don't run! Kill!"
Shi Le was furious and ordered the retreating soldiers to be killed. The guards immediately killed more than a hundred people, and the fleeing soldiers gradually stopped.
"Your Majesty, there are too many random arrows, brothers dare not charge."
The guards around him had no choice but to persuade him, and Shi Le then ordered to stop firing arrows, and the soldiers besieged Long Chen again.
Long Chen was surrounded in the center, and Feng He was fighting on the outside. Li Chenglie was beheaded by Feng He with his sword, and his head hung on his waist.
"Commander, King Wu is surrounded, what should we do?"
The brothers who came with him were very worried, but Feng He shouted: "Don't worry, King Wu will not die!"
Feng He knew that no one here was Long Chen's opponent. If he wanted to kill Long Chen, there was only one way, and that was to consume Long Chen.
He kept sending soldiers to death until Long Chen was exhausted.
But this is impossible, because the east gate is still attacking fiercely, and Wu Jian cannot see Long Chen, so he will attack madly, and the east gate will definitely be breached.
East City Gate.
Gongsun Linglong's cannon blasted at the city gate, and the soldiers on the city cowered and remained motionless.
Wu Jian stood on the sentry tower and watched for a long time, but there was still no movement on the city, and he secretly thought something was wrong.
Wu Jian came down from the sentry tower, found Zhang Qian and the others, and said: "Sorry, Gan Zhen encountered an ambush at the north gate. According to the agreement, your Excellency should fight from Zhaoti Temple to the east gate to meet us, but he never showed up. Sir
Something may have happened."
Hearing that something might happen to Long Chen, Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun immediately became furious and shouted: "Come into the city!"
Wu Jian stopped the two of them and said, "Don't act recklessly, listen to my command!"
"Linglong, it's up to you to blow open the east city gate!"
"Zhang Qian, Chu Chu, and Xiangyun, the three of you will then attack the east city gate and rush north to meet the Lord!"
Gongsun Linglong immediately arrived in front of the formation and said to Mei Yu: "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to blast open the east city gate!"
Mei Yu received the order and personally adjusted the muzzle of the cannon, aiming at the east gate and bombarding it fiercely.
The shells hit again and again, and the wooden door gradually cracked.
boom
A shell hit the corner of the door, and the heavy wooden door finally collapsed.
"General, blast away!"
Meiyu shouted happily.
Gongsun Linglong ordered: "Continue to bombard the enemy troops on the city. We will charge now. When we reach the bottom of the city, we will stop firing immediately."
After giving instructions, Gongsun Linglong was the first to rush forward with the lion hammer, faster than Zhang Qian's cavalry.
The moment the East City Gate collapsed, Zhang Qian and Wu Chuchu had already led their troops to rush towards the gate.
Gongsun Linglong took the lead. When he arrived at the city gate, he saw a dozen soldiers trying to block the city gate. Gongsun Linglong hammered one by one and rushed into the city.
The sound of artillery stopped, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the Xixia soldiers on the city quickly got up to fight back.
Dugu Jiali led her archers to the city walls and fired randomly at the city walls. Tuzhi's barbarian cavalry also arrived, wandering around the city walls and shooting arrows.
"General Le, the city gate collapsed, and Eastern Zhou soldiers came in."
The soldier shouted to Le Min.
Infantry general Le Min stood up and looked outside. An arrow hit his helmet, and the red tassel on top was broken. Le Min was so frightened that he immediately squatted down.
The feathered arrows under the city were like locusts passing by, so densely packed that the Xixia soldiers did not dare to raise their heads.
Hearing that Long Chen might be in danger, Zhang Qian and the others went crazy.
"Crossbowman, fight back!"
Le Min shouted, and the crossbowmen on the city shot at random outside the city.
Zhang Qian quickly rushed into the city. The cavalry and infantry entered the city. The Long family army rushed to the city wall, and the soldiers on both sides began to fight in close combat.
When Dugu Jiali saw the Long family's army climbing up the city wall outside the city, she immediately ordered them to stop shooting arrows, set up siege ladders on the city wall, and the soldiers began to climb up.
Although the city gate was breached, it was too small and many infantrymen climbed up along the ladder.
Zhang Qian held a spear and charged all the way north, with Gongsun Linglong in front.
"kill!"
A group of cavalry suddenly came out of the alley and blocked the way. Zhang Qian was worried about Long Chen's safety, so she became furious and stabbed several people to death with her spear before rushing over.
She did not choose to kill them all, but chose to rush through first. Her goal was to reinforce Long Chen, not to kill the enemy.
The Long family army broke through the east gate, and the army surged onto the city like a tide. The shouts of killing behind them shook the sky. Zhang Qian wanted to go north quickly, but the streets were full of soldiers and horses, and she couldn't walk at all.
"Everyone, get out of here!"
Zhang Qian was furious and stabbed everyone who blocked the road to death. However, the rebels continued to attack the east gate. Zhang Qian fought for a long time, but instead of being able to advance north, she was pushed back to the east.
"Sister Qian, if you can't get through, you must kill them first!"
Behind him, Wu Xiangyun raised his knife and rushed to Zhang Qian's side. She was also very worried and wanted to get to Long Chen's side earlier, but she couldn't.
"Then kill them all!"
Zhang Qian was furious and led the cavalry in front to clear the way, while Wu Xiangyun led the infantry to advance north along the main street.
On the city wall, Bai Tingting abandoned her horse and walked, carrying a shadow-chasing sword, slashing all the way north along the city wall.
A siege ladder was set up on the city, and the infantry skillfully climbed up the city wall and fought in a melee with the Xixia soldiers.
"Hold it! Kill!"
A young man, wearing fine armor and holding a long knife in his hand, directed the soldiers around him to fight back.
This person is the eighth prince Shi Hao.
As soon as the soldier climbed up, Shi Hao cut off the soldier's fingers with a knife, and then stabbed the soldier into the neck. The soldier fell from the ladder, and one of the soldiers behind him was also knocked down.
Bai Tingting didn't know Shi Hao, but he had many elite soldiers gathered around him, which was a disaster.
Bai Tingting raised her sword to kill, and the elite soldiers around her immediately came over to kill her.
The spear thrust forward, Bai Tingting's figure dodged, and the shadow-chasing sword slid along the spear, along her arm, and cut her neck open.
After killing one of them, Bai Tingting broke into the crowd, dancing with the shadow-chasing sword and flashing lights. All the elite soldiers around had their necks cut open, and blood spurted everywhere. Bai Tingting's face was also splattered with blood, and she looked like a Rakshasa under the firelight.
The eighth prince Shi Hao was frightened by Bai Tingting's ferocity. He turned around and ran away in panic. Bai Tingting quickly caught up with him and chopped off Shi Hao's head with a sword.
After killing Shi Hao, Bai Tingting continued to walk north with her sword in hand.
