At this time, the city was shrouded in flames of war, and many cities were captured by King Shun's army and their owners changed.
Wang Shun had only a few thousand miscellaneous soldiers before, but after becoming famous in the first battle in Dazheng County, his reputation suddenly became huge. The world recognized him as a rebel against the king, with green forest heroes, gangsters and other people who were not suitable for the government to join him.
In addition, some soldiers from the imperial court were also recruited, and they were said to have an army of 20,000.
Taking advantage of the vacuum when all the state soldiers were lost, they attacked cities and territories all the way, which was an overwhelming force.
Now, in Dingjun Mansion, a large mansion connected to Zhengyang Mansion, several county towns have been destroyed one after another, and only the city of Dingjun is still struggling to support itself.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. Our city is high and the pond is deep. There is a lot of grain in the government. The rebels can't get in."
Ning Boshang was dressed in military uniform and his brows were full of heroism. He commanded the regiment to train troops to defend a certain area on the city wall.
He was originally from Zhengyang Prefecture and moved there early.
Unfortunately, the rebels developed too fast and broke into prefectures and counties one after another.
After Ning Bo Shang passed the examination, the imperial court was defeated and Zhengyang Mansion was in chaos. His family suffered heavy losses in this battle, and Ning Bo Shang and Wang Shun formed a sworn feud.
At this time, the state was forced into helplessness, and a document was issued allowing the gentry in various counties and villages to organize group training for self-protection.
As a result, Ning Boshang spent all his family wealth, organized a team to train, and vowed to fight the rebels to the end.
After all, he has the status of a juren, which is convenient for many things. He also got a spiritual elixir from Fang Xiandao. After taking it, his strength increased greatly and he was quite brave. He actually raised a team of hundreds of people.
, gradually stood out.
Unfortunately, after all, it started too late and it is difficult to restore the momentum.
Defeated again and again in Zhengyang Mansion, and continued to retreat until they reached the capital of Dingjun Mansion.
At this time, the state capitals were short of troops, so they had a regiment volunteer to defend the city, and the prefect was happy to see the success.
"Ningtou!"
A soldier looked at Ning Boshang with admiration: "I'm not afraid!"
'You are so young...only sixteen or seventeen years old, right?'
Ning Bo admired the other party's sincere eyes, but for some reason he felt great pain in his heart.
Some of the manpower was damaged before the team training. This guy is still a new recruit. He joined the team just for two stones of rice per month.
At such a young age, I'm afraid I don't even know the cruelty of war.
There is no sense of beauty, no morality, no lower limit... everything is based on killing the enemy more and faster.
Ning Boshang felt that his heart had changed during his time in the army.
Although he felt that this kid would die soon, he patted him heavily on the shoulder: "That's right... the rebel army is also a human being, and they will bleed when injured. We are not afraid of them!"
"The boss...is here!"
At this moment, the sound of a gong suddenly sounded.
Ning Boshang's expression straightened up, and when he reached a high place, he saw a dark army not far away pressing up.
Although it was only divided into several areas and was a bit chaotic, it still had some airs to it.
'Damn it...the rebel force has become stronger, and there are actually generals who have taken refuge...'
Ning Bo watched this scene, and was a little confused: "Could it be that this anti-king really has some destiny? No, no... I will never accept it... How can an anti-king who obeys monsters deserve to have destiny?"
But no matter what, power is power.
Tens of thousands of troops besieging the city created an unparalleled sense of tension.
What's more, there are no soldiers in the state capital. These new recruits have never experienced war, are poorly trained, and their hands holding weapons are shaking.
"Despite this, we have a city wall and can still fight!"
Just when Ning Boshang was about to grit his teeth and fight to the death, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked behind the military formation.
Wow!
Amidst the sound of flapping wings, a "dark cloud" floated over.
There were densely packed birds, and there were also huge monsters among them!
"It's a monster!"
"The monster is taking action!"
"Quick! Prepare your shield and helmet!"
There was a panic at the top of the city, but luckily they had a plan and sent out wooden shields.
Although this is not as good as an iron shield, it is still better than nothing.
Hiding under the shield, Ning Boshang raised his head and looked at the birds flying high in the sky, never lowering their altitude. His teeth were almost broken.
This kind of tactics is too shameless!
Phew! Phew!
After a while, dark clouds covered the city wall.
A dense rain of stones fell down.
Although some unlucky ones were beaten to pieces and their heads were badly bruised, it seemed to be able to survive.
Just when Ning Bo was breathing a sigh of relief, suddenly, a wave of fire appeared in front of his eyes!
Boom!
It was a burning clay pot that exploded after hitting the ground, splashing out a lot of flames!
This kind of clay pot is bulky and requires at least a monster-level bird to pick it up and fly it, but its power after falling is also astonishing.
Especially when it burns on a human body, the scene is too scary.
Some Pyromen screamed and couldn't bear it anymore, so they jumped off the city wall, causing a heavy blow to their morale.
"Quick! Go up and fill in the moat!"
Wang Shun quickly sent an order for his soldiers to carry earth bags on their backs and fill in a section of the moat.
Because the garrison on the city wall was almost collapsed and could only be interfered with by shooting arrows sporadically, the project went very smoothly.
In less than half an hour, a section of the moat leading to the gate was filled in.
Boom!
Boom!
At this time, several terrifying giant beasts crawled out from Wang Shun's army formation.
They look like wild boars, but they have three pairs of tusks and are as big as a mountain. Every time they walk, the ground will tremble slightly. They are also wrapped in a thick layer of 'armor' made of a mixture of soil and resin.
At this time, thick breath came out of his nose. After taking a run, he launched a charge towards the gate of Fucheng.
"Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow for me!"
Ningbo's eyes were about to burst as he admired it, so he grabbed an ox-horn bow and stretched it into a full moon.
The arrow was like a meteor, accurately hitting the wild boar demon.
But the opponent's 'armor' was too thick, and even if his body was full of arrows, he still didn't take it seriously.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow slammed into the city gate!
Boom!
Amidst the loud noise, the entire city wall shook.
The gate of Fucheng was severely deformed and cracked, but it was not opened.
The wild boar demon shook its head and ran away.
Behind it, another bigger pig demon emerged, like a running boulder, hitting the already overwhelmed door.
Boom!
This time, the door could no longer perform miracles and fell backwards.
"rush!"
When Wang Shun saw this scene, he drew his sword and announced the order for a general attack.
…
On top of the wall.
Ning Bo looked at all this and felt extremely powerless.
Our side has made the best preparations, but the enemy doesn't play according to common sense. What can we do?
"No, the prefect has escaped!"
Soon, news spread that the defenders lost morale and began to flee.
Ning Boshang did not stop him, but just looked in the direction of the city and made a certain determination: "Once the Dingjun Mansion is destroyed, the city will no longer have a barrier. To deal with monsters, we still have to ask the immortals of Fang Xiandao to take action..."
