Li Siye, who rushed to the city tower, took the lead, and with just one man's strength, he tore a hole in the Jiangcheng defenders' defense line.
General Pi of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who was responsible for guarding this section of the city wall, saw that Li Siye was extremely brave and did not dare to delay. He quickly rushed over with dozens of guards, with swords and shields in front, long soldiers in the middle, and crossbowmen behind, hoping to surround him.
Lives in Li Siye.
Facing an enemy force that was several times his own, Li Siye did not dodge and charged directly towards them with a few personal guards who had just rushed up the city wall.
Abandoning his defense, Li Siye ran straight into the defenders' shield formation like a runaway war horse.
The sword and shield player blocking the front line felt a huge force coming from the shield, as if his chest was hit by a hammer. He couldn't stand at all and flew backwards.
The spearman in the middle was knocked to the ground by the swordsman and shieldman in front. Just as he got up, before he could raise his sword, he saw a dazzling stream of light coming toward his face.
The Mo Dao in Li Siye's hand slashed Huashan with one move, falling directly from top to bottom, cutting directly from the right shoulder of a spearman to the left waist, diagonally dividing the latter into two halves.
Without waiting for the other enemies to react, the Mo Dao in Li Siye's hand changed his moves and stabbed forward from below, directly piercing the chest of an enemy.
When the general who was responsible for defending the city wall saw this scene and looked at Li Siye, he felt that the opponent was like an evil ghost. He backed away and shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
The crossbowman hurriedly fired the crossbow bolt at Li Siye.
The latter grabbed a corpse on the ground and blocked it in front of him, blocking all the incoming crossbow arrows. He rushed forward and bumped into the array of crossbowmen again.
Holding the handle of the knife with his left hand, and with his right hand against the sword, and using his forearm as the point of force, Li Siye combined the strength of his waist and arms into one, and urged the Mo Dao with all his strength, causing the blade to cut out with the body as the center of the circle.
A blow similar to a half-moon slash.
With just this blow, all the defenders standing in front of Li Siye who came into contact with Mo Dao were cut off regardless of their weapons, armor or bodies.
All of a sudden, limbs flew around and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
The remaining defenders of the Southern Tang Dynasty, looking at Li Siye who was covered in blood, no longer cared about fighting, screamed, turned around and ran away.
After wiping the blood on his face, Li Siye put Mo Dao on his shoulder and laughed loudly: "It's so happy! It's so happy!"
The personal guards had also eliminated the remaining enemies at this time, and there were more and more soldiers from the Northern Tang Dynasty on the city wall.
Duan Xiushi, who is under the city, has seen Li Siye's bravery many times on the battlefield in recent years, but when he saw this scene on the wall of Jiangcheng, he couldn't help but sigh: "But when it comes to the world's martial arts heroes, Siye should be the hero, no one else."
It’s better than anything else.”
Duan Xiushi was even more emotional in his heart. He originally thought that Jiang City was strong and the siege would be protracted. Unexpectedly, on the first day of the war, Li Siye took the lead and opened up the situation with his personal bravery.
After sighing, Duan Xiushi shouted: "Send the order! Attack the city with all your strength from the left and right front compartments to expand your advantage. The Chinese army will advance forward and launch a general attack!"
As the horn of the general attack sounded, the 80,000-strong army of the Northern Tang Dynasty began to charge towards Jiangcheng.
The leadership effect brought by Li Siye spread to the entire battlefield, making the soldiers of the Northern Tang Dynasty regard him as an example, and all of them rushed forward regardless of their own safety.
At this time, General Qi of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who had been commanding the battle on the watchtower of the city gate, frowned and asked the person next to him: "Is that person Li Siye?"
Lieutenant General Xue Nanyang cupped his hands and said, "Exactly."
Lai Yi: "There have long been rumors in the army that Li Siye's bravery can equal an entire army. Today it seems that it is true."
Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, Xue Nanyang hurriedly said to Lai Ai: "My lord, the situation is not good for our army. Please make a decision earlier!"
Lai Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Originally, I didn't want to show off my trump card so early. I didn't expect that on the first day of the war, the battle would turn out like this... Vice Admiral Xue!"
Xue Nanyang: "The end is here!"
Lai Yi: "Let the Divine Fire Guards go into battle, and you will take command!"
Xue Nanyang: "Here!"
At this time, Li Siye was killing everyone on the city tower. No matter who the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were, no one could survive for a few breaths in his hands. From generals to soldiers, anyone who stood in the way would be killed by him.
Seeing that the general had gone deep alone and was starting to lose touch with the Northern Tang Army in the rear, the bodyguard couldn't help but remind him: "General, we are too far forward. Do we have to wait for the brothers behind?"
Li Siye was so excited to kill that he couldn't care about this and shouted loudly: "The important thing in war is to work hard and defeat the enemy at the same time. How can you give up halfway?!"
When the guards heard this, they did not dare to persuade him any more and could only follow the charge.
The group of people rushed to the barbican just above the city gate. Li Siye saw a strange Southern Tang army rushing onto the tower.
This Southern Tang army was wearing red armor all over its body, with numerous copper cylinders hanging on its body. Its arms were not the common arm coverings, but armor-wrapped armor similar to thick cloth.
Although the visitor was strange, Li Siye ignored it and rushed forward, rushing directly towards the army.
Xue Nanyang, the deputy general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, saw Li Siye rushing over. He first calmed down and then shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Shenhuo Guards, listen to the order! Set up the cannon!"
I saw dozens of half-meter-long squatting cannons, divided into several waves, which were set up by the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty in turn, and aimed at the entire city wall corridor.
When Li Siye saw those squatting tiger cannons, he was first confused, then surprised, and finally tried to stop and find a bunker.
However, a few seconds of hesitation may seem short, but on the battlefield, it turns into a fatal mistake.
Just when Li Siye realized something was wrong, Xue Nanyang shouted: "Light the fire! Set it off!"
There were several loud bangs.
The squatting tiger cannons set up by soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty fired one after another.
The huge sound of cannons covered up all the sounds on the battlefield.
Countless tiny pieces of iron sand, driven by gunpowder, turned the narrow corridor into a veritable corridor of death.
Almost instantly, Li Siye and the personal guards behind him were drilled into the gaps in the armor and the gaps in the helmet by the pervasive iron sand.
Li Siye first felt hot all over his body, and then the severe pain that could not be described in words invaded every part of his body, making him unable to support his body. He knelt on one knee and roared loudly.
If it were an ordinary soldier who had been shot directly by the Crouching Tiger Cannon, he would have been on the ground unable to get up and would have been left wailing.
However, what kind of person was Li Siye? The pain not only did not make him fall down, but made him start to fall into madness.
The large amount of adrenaline secreted caused Li Siye to cut off the pain-sensing nerves in various parts of his body. He was like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, his feet were filled with wind, and he rushed directly into the array of divine fire guards.
Xue Nanyang, who originally thought that the overall situation was settled, looked at the murderous figure in front of him, frantically harvesting the lives of the Divine Fire Guard soldiers. While his body was shaking with fear, he shouted loudly: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up! fire!"
The second wave of Crouching Tiger Cannons had already been loaded, but the soldiers of the Divine Fire Guards were already frightened out of their wits.
Some people dropped their artillery pieces to the ground, while others dropped their weapons and began to retreat.
At the critical moment, Xue Nanyang, as the commander, maintained a trace of calmness.
He picked up a loaded Tiger Crouching Cannon from the ground, clamped it around his waist, took a few steps forward, pointed it directly at Li Siye, who was killing people non-stop, and lit the fuse while trembling.
There was another cannon blast.
The muzzle of this squatting tiger cannon was less than one meter away from Li Siye.
The ammunition fired at close range struck Li Siye firmly on the chest.
The huge kinetic energy blew it away directly.
Li Siye's face was almost smashed by the iron sand, and his human shape was no longer visible.
But even so, he was still struggling on the ground, trying to get up and continue the attack.
Xue Nanyang, knowing that something was wrong, quickly dropped the tiger squatting cannon, drew out his sword, quickly came to Li Siye's side, held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed it hard into the latter's heart.
Li Siye's struggling movements became slower and slower, and finally stopped.
Xue Nanyang dropped his sword and stumbled to the ground. Fear and nervousness made his back covered with sweat.
After a while, looking at the stunned soldiers around him, Xue Nanyang said: "Give me the order and have the soldiers shout to the enemy that General Li Siye is dead."
