"Bang!" The stone hit the city wall, making a dull sound.
Countless Nanchen soldiers roared and rushed towards the city wall. Stones and arrows flew over their heads and "crackled" on the city wall. Screams could be heard constantly from the top of the city, and no one knew who was there.
Many soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty fell, but soon these exposed vacancies were filled by those who came after them.
Li Xingchen looked at the chaotic battlefield with a tense face.
It was already the afternoon of that day. After a morning's attack, Panlong County was indestructible, but Xiao Shilian's letters for help came one after another. Li Xingchen knew that Xiao Shilian was definitely not the kind of person who would complain about being tired after a little beating.
He asked for help so anxiously, which shows that the war at the Sun family has really reached a critical stage.
Li Xingchen could even imagine the crumbling defense line under Yuchi Jiong's crazy attack. But he had no choice but to let Xiao Shilian's sacrifice not be wasted.
"General, it's almost time." Tang Xiao strode over. He performed well in the previous battle to attack Tiangongyuan, and now he has become Li Xinchen's most trusted subordinate. Of course, Tang Xiao did not dare to live up to his appreciation for Li Xinchen.
Before the siege, he had been leading the team at the front, and he was replaced by the team behind him until almost all of his men were killed or wounded.
Li Xingchen nodded gently: "Ming Jin!"
Jin Duo in the army made a clear sound, and the Nanchen crossbowmen in front quickly shot at the formation, forcing the defenders on the city to pick up their shields to resist, while the soldiers up and down the ladder retreated backwards as if flying, and they were already in danger.
The shield bearer who had been waiting for a long time moved forward along the gap in the crowd, setting up a line of defense at the front of the team to block possible enemy arrows.
However, the defenders on the city seemed to be exhausted and had no intention of entangled with the retreating enemies. This would only be a waste of arrows. Obviously, there were not many arrows and rolling stones in the city.
At this time, plumes of smoke rose from the distant fields, and the sounds of fighting and roaring could be heard endlessly.
The defenders on the city seemed to have noticed something, and they all lay on the battlements and tried their best to look into the distance. Several Northern Zhou flags appeared in the field of vision, coupled with the rapidly retreating Nanchen army, everyone knew what was happening without even thinking about it.
.
Reinforcements have arrived!
It seems that in order to cooperate to prove this point, Nan Chen's generals' formation, which was originally neat, became increasingly chaotic, while Li Xingchen's general's flag in the army kept moving to clean up the troops.
The supporting troops arrived very quickly, and they were all in uniforms from the Northern Zhou army. The green flags were dancing in the wind, and the word "Yuchi" embroidered on them was particularly eye-catching.
Cheers suddenly erupted from the top of the city, and the reinforcements were divided into two groups, one heading directly towards the city gate, and the other rushing towards Li Xingchen.
Probably knowing that he was no match at all, Li Xingchen quickly shrank the defense line and relied on the camp to prepare to defend. However, there were not many reinforcements along the way, and there was no direct attack. They just stopped outside the camp to monitor.
"General Pingnan is here, open the door quickly!" A Northern Zhou general rode forward and raised the token in his hand.
He looked dusty, and there was even blood on his armor. The Northern Zhou captain who was guarding the city subconsciously looked to the side, and there was a middle-aged man sitting next to the general, "Yuchi"'s general.
The flag was flying above his head.
This should be Yu Chijun's son, General Pingnan, and Duke Yu Chishun of Xu State.
The defenders had received news before that Yuchi Jiong sent Yuchi Shun to lead an elite force as the vanguard. Now it seems that this is the vanguard. These soldiers and horses obviously broke through Li Xingchen's layers of obstruction, so the captain who defended the city came.
Without doubting his presence, he hurriedly ordered the door to be opened.
If General Pingnan and Duke Xu were neglected, then he would have to go around without food. As for whether there would be fraud... The captain looked around, he didn't think Li Xingchen still had so many troops, let alone
I felt that Li Xingchen didn't need such a method, and he still had to forcefully attack the city for half a day.
The city gate opened wide, and Yuchi Shun waved his hand, and the soldiers and horses were in order, and they quickly entered. This also made the captains and other commanders and generals on the city couldn't help but be stunned. The elite are the elite after all, even if they have to travel a long way and fight in blood.
Even if you kill, you have reached the end of the journey, and you can still maintain discipline.
The captain glanced at the direction of Li Xinchen's camp. Li Xinchen seemed to be unaware of the real situation of the Northern Zhou army, so he was not in a hurry to fight, but he did not neglect it either. The Nanchen army had already shrunk its formation, making it clear that it wanted to defend.
"Do it!" At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the city.
The captain looked down almost subconsciously. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who had just entered the city roared and rushed towards the enemies around them. Their swords flashed. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were welcoming the friendly forces never thought that these friendly soldiers would turn against them.
Take action!
"No, it's a scam!" The captain of Langzhong also came to his senses at this time, his face turned pale.
"Seize the city!" The reinforcements, or Nanchen soldiers, roared at the same time. They dispersed in groups and rushed up the upper city trail. Because the previous siege had ended, they were at the foot of the city wall on the upper city trail.
The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were waiting to rest never expected that the knife would fall on their necks in an instant!
Lieutenant Langzhong just felt like the world was spinning. Behind him, outside the city, there was also a loud roar of killing. The two armies that were originally confronting each other were heading north all the way, while the other army was coming directly along the city wall to reinforce this side!
"Kill!" I don't know how many Nanchen soldiers roared, and I don't know how many swords slashed at the bodies of the Northern Zhou soldiers, causing blood to bloom.
Li Xunchen strode into the city gate, glanced at the corpses scattered on both sides of the city gate, and shook his head slightly. Li Xun, who was responsible for opening the city gate, strode over, holding in both hands the corpse that he had found from Song Ping.
The token was handed back to Li Xinchen.
After a while, Li Xingchen looked at the body of Lieutenant Langzhong. Although this guy was good at defense and had strong bones, his brain was really not very bright.
Of course, Li Xingchen had to admit that when this kind of life-saving straw suddenly appeared, there must be more than one person who desperately grabbed it. At this juncture, naturally no one would consider whether this straw was poisonous.
Li Xingchen believed that this captain was not the first, nor would he be the last to fail like this.
In any case, now Langzhong City has fallen into his hands. Li Xingchen finally took the lead in the entire Langzhong battle. But he didn't know what kind of bloody fire would be at Sunjiamen in the north...
"Screen the prisoners and clean the battlefield quickly!" Li Xingchen directly ordered Du Qi and Li Xun beside him. He had asked Tang Xiao to bring the last available troops to support Xiao Shilian, but he didn't know that
How long can Xiao Shilian last?
After all, Xiao Shilian only had a thousand soldiers and horses in his hands. It was not that easy to defend against danger.
