Seeing the proud look on Liang Qi's face, Bai Yong, the deputy commander of the Sanshui Army, said worriedly: "General, Zhang Xiaoting is commanding 20,000 Ning troops to resist the wind. No matter how brave General Yuan Rang is, he can't resist it!
Should we...send a wave of troops to assist him?"
Liang Qi waved his hand and said: "Shangguanyuan Rang is known for his bravery. Even if he cannot defeat so many Ning troops, he should be able to protect himself. The primary target of our army is Tongmen. Everything should be focused on Tongmen and must be concentrated.
With all our strength, we must work together in the shortest possible time to capture Tongmen!"
Bai Yong grinned secretly and said anxiously: "What if the general is trapped in a tight siege and it is difficult to escape..."
"If the earthen jar is not broken away from the well mouth, the general will inevitably die in front of the battle. Whether the two armies are alive or dead in front of the battle, it is up to fate. You and I can't care so much!" At this time, Liang Qi's ruthless side was revealed again.
It is not difficult to see that his character is willing to pay any price in order to achieve his goals. Even Shangguan Yuanrang, whom Tang Yin values so much, is expendable in his eyes.
In the past two days, Liang Qi had secretly hidden the main force of the Sanshui Army and a large number of siege equipment near Tongmen, waiting for the opportunity when Tongmen was empty. Now that the opportunity has finally come, how could he miss it? Liang Qi calculated
After a while, it felt that Zhang Xiaoting and his troops were almost at the end of the wind, so he immediately informed the generals and the whole army attacked Tongmen.
The spies of Tianyan and Diwang both used carrier pigeons as a tool to transmit messages. As soon as Liang Qi's military order was issued, the spies of Tianyan and Diwang immediately released a large number of carrier pigeons and distributed them to the Sanshui Army hidden around Tongmen.
After receiving the carrier pigeon, the Sanshui Army, which was ready to go, immediately poured out from the ravines, valleys, and jungles, and quickly gathered in front of Tongmen.
Due to their different hiding locations, the various regiments of the Sanshui Army arrived at Tongmen City at different times. Liang Qi and Bai Yong were the fastest. The twenty-thousand Sanshui Army suddenly appeared at Tongmen as if falling from the sky.
Outside the city, there was not even time to raise the flag.
Seeing so many Feng troops wearing black armor suddenly coming outside the city, Ning Jun on the top of the city was a little unable to react.
Liang Qi didn't give them time to react. He didn't even wait for the arrival of other regiments and already issued the order to attack the city.
Following his order, the twenty-three thousand navy troops under his command rushed towards Tongmen like a tide.
At this time, Ning Jun, who was stationed at Tongmen, finally realized that the enemy troops were appearing outside the city. For a moment, there were shouts and alarm bells on the top of the city. While Ning Jun closed the gate of Tongmen, he sent his manpower
He was dispatched to the top of the city and started shooting arrows at the Sanshui Army outside the city.
At this time, the Ning army only had a few thousand men on the east wall of Tongmen, but the power of its arrow array was still astonishing, and it was a condescending arrow shot with an extremely long range. The Sanshui Army was still 200 steps away from the Tongmen wall.
When he was far away, a dense number of arrows fell down on his head.
Following bursts of screams, some of the Sanshui soldiers who charged forward were pierced by eagle feathers from time to time, rolling forward and falling to the ground. The Sanshui soldiers behind seemed to be unable to see the bodies of their companions.
Continue to press forward with all your strength. The soldiers of the Sanshui Army know very well that now that we are deep into the enemy's hinterland, if we can capture Tongmen, there may be a glimmer of hope. If we cannot capture Tongmen, then who among the 90,000 people on our side will
Neither can survive.
This is a desperate battle, either victory or death. Under such circumstances, how can the soldiers of the Sanshui Army not fight tooth and nail?
More and more soldiers were shot down by arrows, but this could not stop the charge of the Sanshui Army at all. People stepped on the corpses of their companions and moved closer and closer to the city wall. When they entered the shooting range, the Sanshui Army's counterattack had already begun.
The soldiers took off their bows and arrows as they ran, pointed them at the city head, and fired arrows in unison.
Suddenly, there were screams on the top of the city, and from time to time, Ning Jun who had been shot by an arrow screamed and fell from the city wall. At this time, the Ning Army counselors and generals in the city had also climbed up the city wall, and saw the ferocious enemy attack.
Incomparably, a counselor shouted: "Let the generals return to the city to support us!"
After hearing the counselor's words, Ning's soldiers immediately lit all the beacon fires, and thick smoke billowed from the top of Tongmen City, rising straight into the sky.
Liang Qi, who was commanding the battle, saw clearly and secretly screamed that it was not good. He immediately ordered the generals to bring out the city-breaking crossbows and army-breaking crossbows and fire volleys at the top of the city.
The generals on the left and right immediately conveyed the message to their generals. With a rumbling sound, dozens of city-breaking crossbows and army-breaking crossbows were pushed out. People opened the crossbow strings while aiming at the city head of Tongmen, and launched their weapons in unison.
shoot.
Buzz!
Dozens of giant crossbow machines fired volleys, and what they shot were not crossbow arrows at all, but wooden stakes. Especially the city-breaking crossbows were so powerful that from such a long distance, they were like streaks of lightning, hanging with force.
The wind flew to the top of the city and hit the arrow stack, even the thick arrow stack was pierced.
Ning Jun, who was hiding behind the arrow stack and still twisting his bow and nocking arrows or carrying rolling logs and rocks, didn't even understand what was going on.
He pushed the man out and flew him out. While he was still in the air, he was bleeding from seven holes and died. His body flew into the crowd of Ning soldiers behind him and rolled down the city wall with a group of people.
After just one salvo, the Ning army on the city was in chaos. Screams and howls were heard everywhere. Even the counselors and generals in the Ning army were dumbfounded. They had never seen anything like this before.
The siege weapons can even shoot through the arrow stacks. How powerful is that! The generals wearing spiritual armor looked at the wooden stakes stuck on the arrow stacks and could not help but sweat. They were confident that their bodies
The spiritual armor will not be stronger than the arrow stack.
Just as Liang Qi was commanding the siege, a group of troops suddenly rushed up from behind. The general led by him galloped up and shouted loudly as he ran: "General, the Eighth Corps of the Sanshui Army has arrived -"
Liang Qi didn't even look back, he waved the flag in his hand forward and ordered the 8th Corps to attack.
When the regiment commander saw this, he did not order the troops to stop and rest. He directly led his soldiers to pass by Liang Qi's main formation and threw himself into the battlefield. After a short time, the dust started to rise again in the rear, and the distance was so far away that the leading general was greatly disturbed.
Called: "Report——General, the Third Corps of the Sanshui Army has arrived——"
Liang Qi still waved the command flag forward without looking back.
"Report——General, the Sixth Corps of Sanshui Army has arrived——"
"Report——General, the 7th Corps of the Sanshui Army has arrived——"
Following loud shouts, two more soldiers and horses rushed up from the left and right sides of Liang Qi's main formation. At this time, Liang Qi was too lazy to wave the command flag. He looked at the battlefield ahead and said to Bai Yong beside him: "Attack"
Drum! Order the whole army to attack!"
"Yes! General!" Bai Yong agreed and conveyed the message to his general.
Liang Qi added: "Send someone to send a message to the generals at the front. No matter what means are used, no matter how many brothers die, even if I use people to pile them up, they will be piled into the city within half an hour!"
"yes!"
Liang Qi had always been strict in his military orders. Once his orders were conveyed, there was no room for negotiation and they could only be carried out. The generals below would either complete their military orders and return victoriously, or they would come back with a heads-up.
After receiving Liang Qi's death order, the commanders of each corps personally went to the battlefield and directed their soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Tongmen. As each corps arrived one after another, the manpower to attack the city was reduced in a very short period of time.
Then the number was expanded from 20,000 to 90,000. Looking outside Tongmen City, it was all dark and filled with wind troops.
Soon, the soldiers of the Sanshui Army holding crossbows began to climb up the ladder to the city. The power of the crossbow from a distance could not be compared with that of bows and arrows, but the effect in close combat was excellent. Even when the soldiers were climbing the ladder,
They can shoot crossbows upwards, which poses a great threat to the defenders who throw rolling logs and rocks.
Many Ning soldiers had already lifted up the rolling logs and stones, and when they were about to smash them down, the Sanshui soldiers below had already started to pull the triggers and fired crossbow arrows. At such a close distance, the crossbow arrows could penetrate the steel armor of Ning Jun.
, with the sound of bursts of armor breaking, the Ning army on the top of the city was covered with crossbow arrows and fell down in a row.
Taking advantage of the enemy's gap, the soldiers of the Sanshui Army accelerated their climb and rushed to the top of the city. The first batch of soldiers who reached the top of the city suffered the sharpest counterattack from the Ning army, with halberds and spears stabbing them from all directions.
Come, the soldiers were unable to dodge, and their bodies were instantly stabbed into a hornet's nest, screaming and falling off the city wall.
Several batches of soldiers who came up after that were not spared. They were thrown off the city wall one by one by Ning Jun, until some soldiers rushed towards Ning Jun regardless of their own safety. They would rather have their bodies stabbed into sieves than to knock Ning Jun's camp apart.
Only then did a gap finally open, and a large number of soldiers who followed took advantage of the gap and fought bloody battles with Ning's army.
When there is danger, Ning's army has a huge advantage, but once the Sanshui army attacks the city and engages in close combat, the defender's advantage will of course disappear. Feng Ren is tough and brave, and is good at close combat, while Ning's army
Although the armor is strong and the weapons are powerful, they have always been weak in close combat. As more and more water troops advanced, the Ning army began to be unable to withstand it, and they retreated in groups.
Liang Qi, who was in command of the formation, saw that his soldiers had successfully attacked the city. He could no longer sit still, drew out his sword, and shouted loudly: "Kill--" Before he could finish his shout, he had already pulled him over.
A war horse turned over and jumped up, and then went straight to the battlefield ahead. He was the commander-in-chief of the Sanshui Army. He went into battle in person, but he scared the surrounding Bai Yong, the generals and the personal guards. How could the people?
If they dare to delay, each armed with weapons, follow Liang Qi and rush to the battlefield.
Liang Qi's personal participation in the battle pushed the morale of the Sanshui Army to its peak. The soldiers seemed to have forgotten life and death. They roared and rushed up the ladder to the top of the city. They waved their swords and started to attack Ning's army crazily.
.
More and more defense lines were breached, and in the end, Ning Bing could hardly be found on the city walls. Everywhere he looked, they were filled with black and overwhelming Feng troops.
The army was defeated like a mountain! Once defeated, how easy is it to stop the decline? What's more, the Ning army only has a few thousand people left at this time, while the Sanshui army has more than 80,000 people. It is a close combat in the city, and the Ning army is completely defeated.
Unable to hold on, one group of people fled to the west of the city, while another group of people fled toward the general's mansion in the center of the city.
