Chapter 975: Between the Two Walls

Li Hongzhang, Li Hezhang, and Li Zhaoqing are all on the main gate tower of the city within the city.

Li Hezhang was introducing the characteristics of Hongshui Mountain City and his defensive strategy to the second and sixth brothers.

"I don't know who made it, and I don't know which dynasty and which dynasty it was built in, the structure of this city is very distinctive, and it can also be said that it is a very rare format, so rare that it is so rare that it is unique!"

Li Hezhang is very accomplished in defense, so he has a deep study of the construction industry by the way, so he is very emotional.

In fact, he was not sure that there was really no second example, but he had never encountered it wherever he went, and none of the books he had read recorded such a structure of the second house.

Then he introduced that the format of this city is called three stacks of water, which is like a waterfall hanging from a cliff, and after three ups and downs, it flows to the ground.

And these three stacks of water, in fact, mean that this city contains a total of three cities.

It was the outer city that had been missed, and now the place where they were standing was the middle city, and there was another city behind the middle city, which was the inner city.

Relative to the triadic water, it is the three stages of defense.

The first stage, of course, is the outer city, and every effort is made to keep the enemy outside the city, which is naturally the right thing to do.

If the outer city misses, or deliberately lures the enemy deeper, or the strategy shifts, then retreat to the middle city.

The midtown is the most critical link, because the outer city has been lost, and the inner city is the most important place to be protected, so the midtown is the focus of defense.

Due to its geographical location, Midtown is also the most critical.

The hub of the central city connecting the outer city and the inner city is also the core of the counterattack.

However, this point is only clear to Li Hezhang.

This is a matter of technical operation, so I didn't tell my second brother Li Hongzhang. He is in charge of the big picture and only cares about the result.

didn't say to the sixth brother Li Zhaoqing, it doesn't matter about age, because the talent of the sixth brother is not here, he is a natural general, responsible for capturing the city and pulling out the village.

Seeing that the heavenly army that had captured the outer city was under the order of the enemy's commander. From the open city gate and from the city wall, the number of people was no less than 10,000, Li Hongzhang looked stern, Li Hezhang smiled, and Li Zhaoqing was eager to try!

Cheng Tunjin has been standing tall for many years, of course, he is not reckless, he is decisive and ruthless!

Today, as the siege general, he also gave full play to his character.

Originally, after the city was broken, sending one or two thousand people could expand the results of the battle and clean up the mess. But he swept away 10,000 men, and he was going to flood the whole city like a flood.

He himself thought that this was a knife for killing chickens, but he did it decisively, which reflected his prudence!

The 10,000 men, including those who climbed up from the city walls, and the fresh troops who entered through the city gates, except for the flying forces that used pennies did not participate.

They are Cheng Tunjin's secret weapon. Only when it matters so far can it be used to achieve breakthrough results. Just like that.

So after these men broke through the city defenses, they went to rest.

Cheng Tongjin is now sitting firmly at the head of the city, overlooking the mid-range city tower in the distance, and he is very confident that under the crushing of hundreds of millions of troops, those enemies who try to block will be turned into powder in an instant.

Looking at the vanguard troops and the beginning of climbing the city wall, Cheng Tunjin smiled. Once these monkey cubs started to climb the city, they had seven or eight successes.

Not to mention such a small city within a city, it is a fortress built on a cliff, and a famous city with a long history and a deep city has been trampled under their feet!

But when he smiled, there was a man. Even Li Hezhang, who was standing in the middle of the city and served as the commander-in-chief of the city defense, also laughed, and laughed!

"Hahaha!

The first thing I heard was the sound of "boom, boom, boom" three cannons, and then there was a soft sound of "boom, boom, boom", which came and went one after another in the ranks of the attacking heavenly army.

Everyone was wondering, and suddenly a strong smell of burnt paste penetrated into everyone's nostrils, what was this?

The more experienced soldiers in the Heavenly Army were suddenly shocked and shouted: "Not good! This is the smell of cannonballs, there must be something like a ground cannon that is going to explode, run!"

Hearing his words, the crowd immediately panicked! And even if they wanted to run, they didn't know which direction to run.

An official immediately stood up and shouted: "Don't panic, stop the attack, and withdraw out of the city first!"

I have to say that this is indeed the most correct thing to do in the current situation, and if time permits, if nothing else, the crisis can really be resolved.

Unfortunately, having fallen into an elaborate trap, how could the designer of this trap allow the prey to escape?

Before Rong Tianjun turned around, the sound of "boom" had already become one!

A large area of the heavenly army was blown up to the sky in this rumbling sound!

Some people are more experienced, and they know that if the cannon has been fired, there will be no more, so they hurry up there to take refuge, where do they know that this danger is not only emerging from the ground, but also falling from the sky!

A single shell landed right where they were hiding, and all of them, who thought they were safe, were all turned into dead souls on the spot.

It turned out that in addition to the ground artillery buried underground, the defenders also set up city defense cannons in the middle city, forming a flanking attack on the heavenly army!

This also speaks volumes about the cunning of the defending enemy generals, who did not use such powerful firearms when defending the outer city, but instead used them in the middle city.

The battle caught the heavenly army by surprise and was completely defenseless!

In this way, the heavenly thunder and earth cannons covered the heavenly army entering the city with a layer of death snar.

This snares are so eerie and terrifying that every Heavenly Army soldier really smells death!

That's not all, there's something even more terrible happening!

Those heavenly troops who were closer to the city gate, heard the order to retreat, and the building near the water was the first to get the moon, and quickly retreated to the city gate, although it was also thundered and killed halfway, and finally some of them escaped to the inner entrance of the city gate, and they could escape alive!

However, at this moment, the heavy city gate suddenly landed "Zazaza", and the speed was so fast that even the fastest person could not fly through under the gate!

This is really a situation of closing the door and beating the dog!

Cheng Tunjin, who was commanding the battle in the outer city tower, was stunned by the sudden appearance of the thunder cannon in the city, which was something he had never encountered before!

He was already more than brave and lacking in wisdom, and this shortcoming was even more prominent at this time.

At this time, if you have the ability to change organically, you should realize that this is an enemy trap, quickly grasp the key point, and take remedial measures!

What's the point? Of course, it's a way out!

Still staying in the city, do you enjoy the thunder and earth cannons?

If you want to retreat, you can only come in from where you come in and go out from there, this is the smoothest route!

Therefore, he should race against time to control the city gates!

As a result, he did not even have this consciousness, and the city gate fell into the control of the enemy.

These must have been planned earlier than before, and they immediately closed the gate, so that those who had already run to the gate of the city also obediently became turtles in the urn.

After Cheng Tunjin was alert and made another chess mistake, it was too late.

Not only did he have a chance to save, but he himself was violently attacked!

A large group of defenders suddenly appeared, more than ten times the number of the heavenly army still on the city tower!

Cheng Tunjin was frustrated again and again, but his courage was undiminished, and he immediately led his entourage to fight with these Huaiyong.

Helplessly, the difference in numbers was huge, and the troops outside had no time to help, and after his relatives were killed and wounded, Cheng Tunjin had to jump out of the city and barely escaped.

As he approached the city, he glanced at the situation in the city, and could not help but feel a wave of grief in his heart.

The city is already full of corpses! And it's all heavenly armies.

Cheng Tunjin escaped with his life, but there are more wolves than wolves!

However, ruthless people have such benefits and can withstand the blow of defeat!

He didn't even take a breath, and immediately ordered another siege!

One thing he knew very well in his heart was that although the 10,000 heavenly troops in the city had suffered heavy casualties, they still did not give up, and they were still fighting those defenders, and if they succeeded in attacking the city earlier, there was still hope to save them.

At the same time, if they kill all the remaining Celestial armies, the defenders will be able to concentrate more on the besieging Celestial Army.

Besides, in the city, the defenders accumulated the 10,000 heavenly troops who entered the city between the outer city and the middle city, and then there was a warm reception of heavenly thunder and ground artillery, so that the heavenly army quickly lost 50% of its personnel!

Then, the defenders changed their ways.

Less than a minute after the disaster relief Cheng Tunjin was driven out of the city, dozens of caves suddenly appeared from the inner city roots of the outer city, and a large number of Huai Yong poured out of the caves!

As soon as they came out, they were like tigers descending from the mountain, and they rushed straight to the remaining heavenly army that had been blown up and dizzy!

These Huaiyong elites who have been hiding there all this time come up with indiscriminate and ruthless killing!

Whether they are injured or uninjured, everyone is waiting for them!

Even those who have already died, they have killed them again and again.

It fully embodies Huaiyong's ferocity and cruelty.

Although he knows that he is outnumbered, there is no way to know whether someone will come to save him, and if he buys Huai Yong's ruthless killing, the heavenly army can only fight the trapped beasts!

It is also a desperate fight to retain a glimmer of life!

As a result, the remaining days and days of the Heavenly Army suddenly burst out with great energy, giving those Huai Yong who were capable of killing an unparalleled counterattack!

They quietly gathered together, and when those red-eyed Huai Yong came to the front unconsciously, they suddenly shouted: "Kill the demon!"

Then a desperate counterattack, in the blink of an eye, each of them killed an opponent, and more than a thousand Huaiyong fell to the ground.

If you want to talk about personal military qualifications, the remaining more than 1,000 people in the Heavenly Army, all of them are bandits on the original barberry, which is much more powerful than a single Huaiyong!

In this way, in the trap of death, they temporarily got a respite from survival and entered the stalemate stage.
