Liao Song led the northern battalion to retreat in a hurry. On the way, he even encountered a team of soldiers, but fortunately, there were not many of them, and they were all repelled by his troops.

After hurriedly retreating to the northern camp station, Liao Song was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The northern camp had been destroyed by the fire, the camp gate was shattered, the wall had collapsed to the ground, and the corpses of the Chu army were scattered all around, and some camp tents had been burned to the ground.

Liao Song hurriedly rushed into the camp, the camp was full of devastation, and the corpses of the Chu army were everywhere, in disarray.

"Go and see if there are any alive. ”

The crowd immediately dispersed.

"General, there's a brother here who is still alive. A soldier shouted in the distance.

When Liao Song heard that there were still brothers alive, he immediately rushed over.

"What's going on, what's going on in the North Camp?"

This is the biggest question in Liao Song's heart, it has not been two days since he led his troops to leave the northern camp, and the entire northern camp has been destroyed, which makes him unable to understand no matter what, is the other party a devil?

After a brief treatment, the wounded soldier said weakly, "General...... Last night, I was on duty, and suddenly there was a thunderclap from the north, and everyone was curious and didn't know what was going on. Until the voice got closer and closer...... As we got closer, we saw clearly that it was a piece of black iron armor, ahem......"

At this, the soldier was obviously still apprehensive, and he couldn't stop coughing.

Then he said hurriedly, "Those guys are not people, they are devils, they are devils. They rode red-eyed beasts as fast as lightning, and when they rushed to the camp wall, our camp wall was torn like a piece of paper. They trampled over, with thick riding spears in their hands, and went on a rampage, flattening the whole camp in an instant, they are the devil, they are the devil......"

Liao Song stopped the soldier's struggle and calmed him down.

After listening to the soldier's words, an answer came to his mind.

Thunder, black armor, red-eyed riding beasts, thick riding spears, the forbidden cavalry of the country!

Thinking of this answer, Liao Song couldn't help but gasp.

The forbidden cavalry, the first cavalry on the mainland, wherever the forbidden cavalry goes, there is no grass and no people.

The forbidden cavalry army appeared on the vast plains in the north of Zhongchu, and there was no need to think about it to know what the consequences would be, if the dragon city was lost, the forbidden cavalry army would go south......

Liao Song didn't dare to think about it any further. He instructed the soldiers to bury the soldiers of the northern battalion and then lead the troops to the southwest to set off for the cavalry battalion.

The reason why he didn't lead the rest of the soldiers straight to Longcheng was because Liao Song guessed that Longcheng was trapped now, and his ten thousand people rushed over to rescue it was tantamount to a moth to a fire, and only by leading the troops to the Xiaocai camp in the distance, and then pinning down the army from the side, was the most important.

I have to say that Liao Song is a potential general, and in a short period of time, he has figured out what he should do at the moment, and it is no wonder that Xie Yuan sent him to ask for help.

Liao Song's analysis was correct, and now Dragon City has been surrounded by the Li Legion.

The guards in the city are called Wanshuang, and Liao Ziping wanted to bring 5,000 people to help Longguan, but Wanshuang resolutely opposed it, and Liao Ziping's ulterior motives finally gave up.

Now that Liao Ziping has no news, Wan Shuang will temporarily take over all the defense of Dragon City. When he heard that the northern Dragon Pass had been broken, he hurriedly gathered the troops around Longcheng and gathered a total of 30,000 soldiers to defend Longcheng.

Although the army was menacing, Wanshuang was not afraid at all, and while sending people out of the city to ask for help, he was ready to defend the city.

Wanshuang believed that although there were only 30,000 troops, he would be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

It's just that he didn't know that when Zhou Cheng surrounded Longcheng, the Lucheng passage from Longcheng to the south had already been captured by Min Zheng, the general of the army.

Now, Dragon City is already an isolated city in the territory of Central Chu North.

The army surrounded the east, west, and north sides of Dragon City, leaving only a sparse besieging army in the south. Not long after the arrangement was completed, the siege began.

The first few sieges of the army were just tentative, and from several sieges, Zhou Cheng saw that the city defense force in the east of Longcheng was the weakest, and the soldiers of the army rushed to the head of the city during several tentative sieges.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou Cheng decided to attack the east gate and take the dragon city in one fell swoop.

At the beginning of the two attacks, it was the same as yesterday, tentatively attacking, and in the case of losing dozens of people, Zhou Cheng felt that it was foolproof, so he began to attack the city with the main force.

Several large siege equipment were pushed out of the Li military camp, throwing stones and crossbow arrows incessantly, and the rushing car slowly drove towards the city gate.

The siege soldiers were also stronger than those in front, and in just half an hour, a fierce battle broke out on the eastern wall.

Zhou Cheng glanced at the battle situation, nodded, and prepared to let the third column attack.

"Boom...... Boom. ”

Suddenly, several loud bangs exploded in the formation of the army. Before Zhou Cheng could react, more than a dozen boulders flew out of the Dragon City City and smashed them at Li Jun.

"Retreat, retreat, protect the marshal, protect the marshal. The soldier looked at the flying boulder and hurriedly shouted.

"What a panic, the third siege column, immediately attacked. Zhou Cheng said slightly angrily. I didn't expect that the other party still had this hand, but today he was bound to win this dragon city, so he didn't care about his own safety.

The third column received the order and immediately began to charge.

And at this moment, on the city wall, the situation has also changed, and the Chu army that came out of nowhere continued to rush to the city, killing all the Li troops who were originally about to capture the city tower. Immediately afterwards, the rushing car that had just rushed to the city gate was also burned by the oil and fire sprinkled on the city.

Wan Shuang had already prepared and deployed a large number of troops at the east gate, and when the army attacked the east gate with all its might, he suddenly killed.

The battle lasted for a morning, and Zhou Cheng had already sent a full five siege columns, but he still failed to capture the east gate of Dragon City.

He didn't expect that there was such a capable person in Dragon City, and he predicted in advance that he would attack the east gate in a big way, which surprised him a little.

"Give the order to retreat. Zhou Cheng said helplessly. At this point, the assault is useless, and we can only find another way to fight again tomorrow.

Wan Shuang stood at the head of the city and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the retreat of the Li army.

Today's method of defending the city was not what he thought in the first place, it was something he overheard when Xie Yuan came back from Shangjing to receive a reward, and when he passed by Longcheng to talk to Pu Yi.

Siege warfare, pay attention to the method of siege, first to test the city to defend the city, avoid the real and attack the virtual, the siege of three missing one.

Don't look at the weakness of the force of the Li army besieging the south gate this time, if he abandons the high walls of the fortified city and breaks through instead, he will definitely be surrounded by regiments on the way to retreat. At that time, the breakthrough was not successful, and Dragon City was lost.

So he decided to stick to Dragon City and wait for rescue. It happened that the east gate of the defense of Dragon City was empty, and the garrison of the city was insufficient, so he took a gamble and transferred a full 10,000 people to guard under the east gate.

Facts have proved that he was right, what Xie Yuan said casually at the beginning, I didn't expect it to come in handy today, Wan Shuang admired it very much, if only General Xie was here.

Next, Wan Shuang slightly strengthened the city defense force of the East Gate to prevent the enemy from retreating.

Inside the camp of the army.

"Zhou Shuai, tomorrow will attack the city, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard. "There are generals who have volunteered to fight the road.

"Zhou Shuai, the last general is willing to go. ”

"Zhou Shuai, the last general will ask for the vanguard. ”

Everyone asked for battle, and the fighting spirit was high. In fact, everyone can see in their hearts that in this situation, Dragon City has long been at the end of the strong crossbow, and whoever can win the vanguard must be the first merit of Dragon City.

Zhou Cheng watched everyone volunteer, regardless of their various thoughts, and said to Qin Ba at the end of the tent: "Tomorrow will attack the city, and you and the beggar camp will take the lead." ”

Qin Ba didn't expect this to be his turn, which flattered him, and even saluted and thanked him.
