The master of the Han family who was surrounded by soldiers from the Xiliang camp, if he was still in his prime, it would be considered good if these soldiers could escape in front of him, not to mention trapping him.
Unfortunately, he had been seriously injured by an arrow shot by Li Xiang. His seriously injured body was only 1/10 of his strength at this time. Facing the siege of soldiers trapped in the camp, he was somewhat unable to withstand.
This section of the city wall has been occupied by Xiliang soldiers. Using this section of the city wall as a stronghold, the Xiliang army climbed up continuously. At the same time, the city gate was opened wide to allow the Xiliang cavalry to enter the city from the outside.
At this time, only two hours had passed since the Xiliang army launched an attack on the city wall.
Two hours is not a long time, nor is it a short time. The reason why Prime Minister Li did not let Xiliang's main army directly attack by force was because a strong attack would cause a large number of casualties.
In just two hours, the number of these two soldiers has been reduced by 5,000.
More than 5,000 Xiliang headquarters soldiers died on the way to the charge, and the soldiers in the city were retreating steadily as they were killed by Xiliang soldiers.
But many Xiliang soldiers were killed by them, especially when they still occupied the advantage of the city wall, those who used hammers, kerosene, and rolling stones to defend against attacks on the city wall.
The soldiers of Xiliang headquarters suffered heavy losses, and this was just the beginning, because there were still hundreds of thousands of troops in the city, although most of them were militiamen.
But among the young adults who can live on the border, who doesn’t have a skill or two in their hands?
When the guards brought by the Shanjia family and senior officials rushed to the city gate, they saw the Xiliang cavalry rushing in from the outside. Facing the menacing Xiliang cavalry, the guards chose to avoid it.
Without heavy infantry, even if there were heavy infantry, they would not be willing to resist the menacing heavy cavalry.
Even if they block the advance of the heavy cavalry, they will be killed by the super powerful attacks carried by the heavy cavalry.
"Don't worry about the cavalry. Let me kill the soldiers who came in first." The head of the Han family glanced at the cavalry who were already rushing into the city and knew that the most critical thing now was not these cavalry.
It's the infantry who are fighting in. Only by retreating those infantry can they settle down. As for the cavalry, does the cavalry have a role in street fighting?
As long as the enemy's infantry army is driven out of Anding City and the gate is closed again, the cavalry inside will be the target of the army.
Senior members of the Han family and others said that they were bringing in escorts. The strength of these escorts was much higher than that of Xiliang soldiers. They were blocked by the elite troops of the Han family in front.
They gave full play to their strength, that is, when the Han family's troops were fighting with the Xiliang soldiers, they attacked from the side and made a sneak attack.
For a time, the light infantry who first rushed into the city suffered heavy losses. The heavy infantry were trapped in the camp and were still on the city wall or behind, and the archers were still in the rear and had not pressed forward.
This resulted in the light infantry receiving very limited support at the front. When their comrades in the front died in battle, the light infantry behind them went even more crazy.
Xiliang soldiers don't know what fear is. The place where the lord's sword points is the place where the army attacks. The soldiers of Xiliang headquarters are alive or dead.
They will never take a step back without the Lord's order.
Facing the Han family escorts and those elite troops, the Xiliang light infantry did not retreat at all.
The soldiers of the Han family who were responsible for guarding other areas rushed to the south gate after receiving the order, leaving part of the troops to continue guarding the gate.
A large number of troops were marching quickly in the streets and alleys of Anding City, and those marching on the main roads were the heavy infantry of the Han family, which was the largest force in the army.
After receiving the order, they marched along the widest main road route towards the south city gate.
The head of the Han family forgot about the Xiliang cavalry and just followed the main road towards the city.
These heavy infantrymen soon felt the roar coming from the front, the ground was shaking, and the civilians hiding at home couldn't help but look outside through the gaps.
They saw a black heavy cavalry running. The soldiers held long spears in their hands and wore terrifying masks on their faces, revealing only a pair of indifferent eyes.
All the soldiers who rushed towards me along the way were killed with one shot.
Array!
The Han family's heavy infantry soon discovered the Xiliang cavalry, and the Xiliang cavalry also saw the heavy infantry appearing in front.
As elites, these heavy infantry quickly lined up and took out their spears, with huge and thick shields blocking the front. The spears were lined up one by one, like hedgehogs.
If the heavy infantry were on the prairie, they might still be afraid of the heavy cavalry, but now this is an alley. Although their road is wide enough, the buildings on both sides are not enough to support the Xiliang heavy cavalry from outflanking the attack.
There were only two choices left for the Xiliang cavalry, charge forward from the front, or turn around and retreat.
The Xiliang cavalry general in charge of leading the heavy cavalry raised the sharp spear in his hand.
Because the thing happened very suddenly, the people in the front row who were in a hurry were wrong. Although the formation had been completed, the people behind had not yet reacted. This was their opportunity.
The distance between the two sides is less than 30 meters. This distance allows the Xiliang war horses to burst out at the highest speed. Using their speed and the horses in their hands, they can attack the enemy's first line.
Just as the Lord said, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. They have already rushed to this position. It is difficult to turn the horse's head at this distance and return to the city gate.
The speed of cavalry cannot be stopped. Once they stop, they become living targets. Although they are not weaker than other infantry in melee combat, the main attacker has worked hard to train them to become cavalry, not to let them fight the enemy on the ground.
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. I will kill you all."
The rider of the Southwest Iron Cavalry shouted, and rushed forward with his horse's spear raised high. The true energy in his body emerged and merged with the demonic essence of the war horse, and the speed of the war horse suddenly increased.
The Xiliang cavalry behind them heard the general's order and burst out at the highest speed. On the battlefield, the Xiliang general always rushed to the front.
Boom!
The solid bluestone slabs on the main roads of Anding City were shattered one after another. The speed of the Xiliang cavalry exploded, and the Han family's heavy infantry in front felt their eyes go dark.
The soldier at the front, holding a large shield, suddenly felt a huge force coming from him, and his body couldn't help but fly backwards.
嘡....
The first row of soldiers who completed the formation collided with the armor on the Xiliang war horses, causing bright sparks, but did not hurt the Xiliang war horses.
On the contrary, the horses of the Xiliang soldiers easily pierced the soldiers' bodies. The Xiliang cavalry took the lead and kept rushing forward at the front. He didn't care about the situation on the left and right, and stared straight ahead.
We can't stop, no one can stop, we have to keep rushing forward.
In front of them is the Han family's heavy infantry with no end in sight. They must not stop.
The Xiliang heavy cavalry general knew this very well, so he rushed forward with all his strength, and kept rushing forward. The enemy saw that he could not shoot down the soldiers who had rebuilt their horses.
They turned the target of their attack to the Xiliang war horses. Although the Xiliang war horses were also wearing heavy armor, compared with the equipment of the Xiliang heavy cavalry, they still had many gaps.
In fact, after these heavy infantry turned their attack targets into Xiliang war horses, many Xiliang cavalry fell off their horses. After falling, they threw away their spears.
You are cavalry, but before you became cavalry, they were famous infantry in the world.
Wearing this thick and heavy armor, they can become heavy cavalry on horseback and heavy infantry on horseback. Their weapons and equipment are richer than the Han family's heavy infantry.
The Xiliang cavalry soldiers who fell to the ground took out two hammers, because they were facing a heavy infantry enemy who was also wearing heavy armor.
Ordinary long knife attacks falling on them would basically not hurt anyone, but the hammers they were holding now would be more effective.
They kept swinging a hammer in their hands. Anyway, they were wearing armor, and even their arms were protected by iron armor.
Smashing the hammer with all his strength, the Han family's heavy infantryman who was hit felt as if he had been hit by a cow. He fell straight to the ground without even taking a breath.
The Xiliang soldiers are much taller than the Han family infantry, and they can hit the Han family infantry on the head much more easily than the Xiliang soldiers.
Everyone was killing like crazy. The Xiliang soldiers who fell off their horses were fighting closely with the enemy on both sides, while the cavalry who fell off their horses continued to rush forward.
The sound of fierce fighting attracted other Han family support troops who were rushing to the south city gate. Those people thought that the Xiliang army had already reached here.
When they heard the sound, they all gathered together and besieged the Xiliang cavalry together. However, the cavalry soldiers were not afraid and followed these people here, starting a big melee.
The cavalry from behind are providing continuous support, so they don't have to worry about being unable to follow up.
Blood spread all over the ground, and the ditches originally used for drainage were now full of blood. The civilians watching in secret did not dare to make a sound.
The civilians at the border are much more courageous than the civilians in the Central Plains, because they are used to seeing life and death, and most of them have seen blood.
Looking at the Xiliang soldiers who still had the upper hand in the melee despite being outnumbered and outnumbered, I didn't know why I felt an incomparable sense of fear in my heart.
Some people looked at the tall Xiliang soldiers with admiration. The people at the border were martial and admired those strong men.
Although the soldiers from Xiliang headquarters were intruders, their bravery attracted the civilians hiding in the dark. They had rarely seen such brave people.
Ordinary bravery would not be able to attract their attention at all, but the problem is that the Xiliang soldiers are facing the most elite heavy infantry of the Han family.
Facing the most elite heavy infantry and the light infantry that came continuously to support, the Xiliang soldiers did not retreat. Instead, they killed all sides on the battlefield and fought to the death.
Time passed bit by bit in the crazy killing, and a large number of people were killed every moment. The Xiliang army outside the southern city rushed into the city.
The Han family and senior officials were all covered in blood, and they led their escorts to block Xiliang's advance.
But everyone knows that such a protracted war will not last long, because the Han family's troops on the front line are all troops.
With such an army, there are only tens of thousands of them left in the city. They have all gathered here, and more than half of them have died in the battle.
Most of the troops coming from behind are young men who have just been recruited for a short period of time. Perhaps in terms of fighting alone, they can compete with the soldiers from Xiliang headquarters.
But in terms of military formation, they are definitely no match for the Xiliang army.
From the beginning of the fighting in the morning to the sunset in the afternoon, Anding City was still noisy under the night, and the fighting between the two sides did not stop.
The streets and alleys were full of corpses, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire city. The Han family and others had no choice but to retreat to the inner city with their troops.
On the way back, they encountered heavy infantry. The heavy infantry army they had high hopes for had been maimed by the Xiliang cavalry. There were only less than a thousand people left in the 5,000-strong heavy infantry army.
This is because a steady stream of young and middle-aged people from the surrounding area came to support them, otherwise they would have been scattered by the Xiliang cavalry long ago.
The battle on the city walls continues, and Xiliang knows very well that if he wants to capture this city, he must take down the four walls.
Moreover, when the other side receives the news that they have launched a general attack, the 70,000 cavalry will definitely come to support, and then they will need these city walls to protect them.
Li Xiang was not happy at all when he was high in the sky. His strength was at its peak, but the woman in front of him was as slippery as a loach. He was so powerful and heavy that his attacks could not hit her.
No matter how strong the attack is, it is useless to hit someone. Li Xiang's speed is much slower than this woman. The opponent's attack is basically like tickling him, but he just can't touch her.
Depressed, Li Xiang glanced at the city below. Half of the southern city had been occupied by Xiliang soldiers.
"You lost!" Li Xiang's depressed mood improved a lot when he saw the battlefield situation below: "Look at the city you were given to protect, hasn't it still fallen into the hands of me, Xiang Li?"
"The world has not yet been decided. Isn't it too early to conclude this?" The woman said with a chuckle. Looking down from the corner of her eye, she felt that iron could not turn into steel. She had already entangled King Li Xiang of Xiliang.
The most powerful force of the opponent has been trapped in the sky by her, but the Han family still failed to defend the city wall. This really can't be blamed on her.
Li Xiang laughed and said: "In three days at most, our southwest army will be able to capture Anding City. No matter how many conspiracies and tricks you people engage in, it will be useless in the face of absolute power.
But I will remember you and hope that after the chaotic war is over, your major sects will still exist!"
Although Li Xiang said this with a smile, the woman felt a deep chill. Li Xiang had already remembered the sect she belonged to.
"Luo Mu died in battle. His skills were inferior to those of others, but as his lord, I have the right and obligation to avenge him, so I hope you can survive until then."
The woman chuckled: "The slave family is waiting for your visit in Lingjiu Palace, King of Xiliang!"
