The soldiers attacking the city were defeated in battle, and the Xiang'an army defending the city seemed to have been given a shot of chicken blood. They became more and more courageous as they fought. For a while, even if they called to the top, they were not sure what was going on on the city wall...
The intelligence was inaccurate, and all decisions could only be based on guesswork, which was very detrimental to them. Shangfeng saw another wave of sieges failed, and he hesitated for a while whether to continue the siege.
"First...cease the war and send scouts to find out what's going on up there?" Looking at the corpses on the ground, everyone on the summit gave in.
Although they have many soldiers and horses, the king also said that he does not care about the life or death of hundreds of thousands of people, but...
We are all brothers who fight together. If we can avoid death, it is natural that we will not die.
Besides, in addition to Xiang'an City, according to their king's wishes, they have to capture at least three to five more cities. To attack the city, they need people. If all these hundreds of thousands of people are dead, what will he use to attack them?
How many other cities?
The most important thing is...
To attack a dilapidated city with only 5,000 defenders, he paid the price of the tragic death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If word spread, would he still have the nerve to hang out in the army?
Can he still gain a foothold next to the king?
By then, even if the city is captured, the credit will not be his.
Shangfeng thought clearly, and without knowing the garrison on the city, he decided to stop fighting first and avoid unnecessary sacrifices.
only……
Previously, Southern Xinjiang spent several months without figuring out the specific situation of Xiang'an City. What could they find out in this moment?
The scouts in Southern Xinjiang are excellent, but no matter how good they are, they can't climb up the city wall to investigate. As a last resort, the soldiers in Southern Xinjiang can only chop down trees like crazy, and then...
Light it up and make the darkness look like day.
In this way, they could see clearly what was happening on the city wall even in the dark night, but this sight made them dumbfounded...
The people guarding the city were indeed not the same group during the day, but they didn't look like old people or children. There were a few who vaguely looked like women.
The scout reported the news to Shangfeng, but he was beaten up by Shangfeng.
Shangfeng simply didn't believe that a few women could stop his army.
Moreover, if his men can't even defeat a few women, where can he put his face as a general leading an army?
Shangfeng didn't believe it and ordered the scouts to investigate again. However, the more they probed, the more certain they became that the person guarding the city might really be a woman!
"Women? When will women be able to go to the battlefield?" Shangfeng refused to accept it.
There are also women in their southern Xinjiang army, but those women are used for the sexual pleasure of the soldiers.
Women are inherently weak and can only survive in troubled times by clinging to the strong. So how can any woman be able to defend the city and defeat the soldiers he leads?
Shangfeng didn't believe what the scouts said and decided to lead his troops to investigate in person. Shangfeng's face turned dark when he saw it.
It’s actually a group of women!
His army was actually defeated at the hands of a group of women.
Shangfeng could not accept this fact. At dawn, he personally ordered his confidants and led his troops to attack the city...
"Brothers, come with me to attack the city! If we destroy this city, the women and jewelry will be yours."
"Brothers, there is a group of women up there. How can we lose to this group of women? Let's rush up and teach these women a lesson, let them see how strong we are." Shangfeng knew very well that this group of veterans fought hard.
What is the purpose of being on the front line? One sentence mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.
Moreover, Shangfeng personally charged ahead, which greatly stimulated everyone. When the already tired soldiers heard Shangfeng's words, they became passionate again. They all raised their swords and spears and shouted: "Break the city!"
Destroy the city!"
"Go!"
"kill!"
…
The shouts of killing resounded throughout the earth and reached the sky. Not only the soldiers in southern Xinjiang heard it, but also the defenders and people in Xiang'an City heard it.
Hearing the loud shouts of killing outside the city, everyone felt a deep sense of uneasiness in their hearts.
Southern Xinjiang is serious this time.
This battle is difficult!
"Sisters! Cheer up and protect our home."
"My sons, all stand up and fight them to the death."
The city defenders who had been resting for most of the night had mostly recovered. At this time, they did not care about rest. They stood up quickly one by one and rallied as soon as possible. They only had to wait for the guard to give the order before they could fight.
…
The soldiers from Southern Xinjiang, led by Shang Feng, all rushed to the city gate. As they moved forward, they shot down arrows, stones, and kerosene...
In order to guard the city gate, the women, old people, children and the defenders did everything possible to throw down anything that could hurt anyone.
Several times before, the siege armies in southern Xinjiang were defeated by these sharp weapons falling from the sky, but this time they were well prepared for going up to the peak...
In addition to preparing enough shields to block the attacks of long arrows and long grass, there were also a very large number of people.
If you look closely, you will find that the number of people attacking the city this time is greater than the total number of people attacking the city in the previous attacks.
Attacking the city with so many people can not only consume the weapons of Xiang'an City, but also serve as a shield for those behind, so that those behind can step on their corpses.
Sacrificing hundreds or thousands of people, but being able to reach the city gate, this deal is nothing to the large southern Xinjiang army.
After one day of fighting, haven't they sacrificed enough people?
Every time they attacked the city, the number of people would be larger than the last time. They were constantly testing how powerful the group of people trained by King Yan Bei was.
And the temptations again and again really scared them...
This group of people trained by King Yanbei is simply unfathomable. It seems that no matter how many people they send to attack the city, the five thousand defenders are not afraid.
This time, Shangfeng was completely prepared. Not only did he have a large number of troops, but he also personally led the troops and rushed to the front line.
There were so many people in southern Xinjiang, and they had great morale to charge up the mountain. For a moment, the soldiers in southern Xinjiang became murderous. After three groups of people died, some people rushed to the city gate.
"Bump, hit the city gate, break the city gate open, and fight in!" The one who rushed to the city gate was the vanguard force led by Shangfeng. He ordered with an excited look on his face, and his whole body was excited.
The city is broken!
The destruction of the city is in sight!
As long as the city is broken and the army rushes in, no matter how hard these people in Xiang'an City fight, there will only be death!
"Boom...boom..." The huge wooden pillars kept hitting the city gate. Even this city gate, the city wall had been reinforced layer by layer, and it couldn't withstand the collision again and again. After a while, the city gate was shaken.
There is gravel falling.
"Brothers, hit hard! If the city is breached, the women, jewels and wine will be yours." Shangfeng became more and more excited when he saw the breach of the city in sight.
Contrary to them, the Xiang'an City defenders, as well as the women, old people and children in the city, saw the rear horses from southern Xinjiang rushing to the city gate and constantly hitting the city gate, with despair on their faces.
It's almost dawn. Can their Xiang'an City really be unable to defend it?
Can they really not see the light of day? (To be continued)
