Standing on the empty city tower at the south gate, Jiang Ning's eyes were staring at the west of the city, and from time to time there was an explosion in the distance, and the rising fire flickered, his hand was caught in the crack of the wall of the battlement, and he used his force unconsciously, and he couldn't feel the pain of his fingers at all.

Thinking that for many days, other soldiers were fighting bravely to kill the enemy, but he led the cavalry all day in addition to training or drilling, and finally had a battle, his father took away the command without saying anything, and sent himself here to watch the excitement.

Why?

Since joining the army, as the son of the main general, he has suffered more than others, but his merits have often been wiped out, Jiang Ning's heart has fluctuated, and the look on his face has not changed much.

"Major General!"

A shout dragged him back from his reverie, and when he turned his head, he saw that he was one of the defenders of the South Gate.

"Don't shout nonsense in the army, so-and-so is just a general, not much older than you, what's the matter?"

Jiang Ning hated this title very much, but he didn't make a look of anger.

Without waiting for the man to speak, Jiang Ning heard some strange sounds in his ears, he looked in the direction where the sound came, it was outside the South Gate where he was located, and after listening carefully, he recognized that it was the Tartars' usual horn for gathering troops, and held the telescope hanging on his chest suspiciously, Jiang Ning found that the enemy camp in the distance was brightly lit, and there seemed to be a figure running.

"A large group of Tartar cavalry has just passed from the edge of the city, and it should be to the west of the city in that direction."

Dutou's words sounded behind him, Jiang Ning nodded, this is also the proper meaning, there is such a big movement outside the West Gate, it is impossible for the enemy not to react, and this is the closest place to them.

But what does this trumpet mean?

Large-scale transfer to the west of the city, this black light is blinding.

The enemy in the camera moved, and Jiang Ning pressed the telescope tightly to his face, trying to see more clearly.

I saw a group of foot soldiers with torches in their hands marching out of the camp in unison, and it seemed that they were still followed by a large group of men, and they began to form in front of the camp, and in a short time an elongated phalanx took shape.

Then, more enemy troops lined up out of the camp as they had just done, and the neat phalanx lined out of the camp one by one, firing only torches in the front row.

Jiang Ning stared at the phalanx in the lead, the slight light from the torches allowed him to see more clearly, these foot soldiers carried a wooden shelf in their hands, although they had never defended the city, he immediately thought of what it was.

"Order, beat the snare drum, everyone get ready for battle! The Tartars are going to attack the city. ”

Jiang Ning, who reacted, put down the binoculars, turned his head and yelled at Dutou, the man was stunned by his roar for a moment, and when he finished listening, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly went down to give orders.

After a while, the sound of military drums in the city and outside the city sounded almost at the same time, and the defenders who were still resting under the city were all awakened, hurriedly wearing clothes and armor and running out, many people also ran back because they had taken something missing, looking at this chaotic scene, Jiang Ning couldn't help but shake his head.

"Erect a certain flag, and the people on the city wall will light torches!"

After receiving the big horn that the defenders handed over to Jin Ming, Jiang Ning issued an order again, the enemy troops outside the city were already starting to advance, and they had to let them know that the city was already on guard, otherwise he didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Because they had to go out of the city to fight, the defenders of the south gate were transferred a lot, especially some high-level generals, almost all of whom were registered.

Among the current defenders, there were only more than 2,000 people left in the original forbidden army, and all the people who had been supplemented were volunteers who had not been trained for a long time, and suddenly encountered this kind of night battle where the effect of the bow and arrow was greatly reduced, Jiang Ning stared at the approaching enemy formation, and bit his lower lip fiercely.

The enemy army came quickly, they almost gave up all the steps of shooting at the defenders, and the first phalanx dispersed when it was still far away, carrying hundreds of long ladders and rushing to the moat.

The long ladder was quickly lifted to the surface of the river, and the enemy foot soldiers did not hesitate to step on it, and this ladder specially used for building bridges had wide pedals, and even if there was no light, it was not easy for people to step on it.

Braving the rain of arrows at the head of the city, although from time to time a foot soldier with an arrow fell into the river, a large group of enemy troops rushed under the sheep and horse wall.

"Rockets, rockets, oil bombs, all for Lao Tzu! Shoot faster, don't let the Tartars get to the city. ”

Seeing that the enemy was already climbing over the sheep and horse wall, Jiang Ning was a little anxious, and a long series of instructions came out through the loudspeaker.

A few moments later, some rockets drew a bright trail in the night sky and flew down the city, and a fire bomb happened to hit the long ladder on the surface of the moat, igniting a raging fire, and several enemy foot soldiers quickly turned over the ladder and submerged the burning side in the water.

Spotting the figure of a foot soldier in the firelight, Jiang Ning "poof"

As soon as the ground pulled the trigger, Hei Youyou's crossbow arrow flew out violently and nailed into the man's body, only shaking twice, and the figure in the distance fell to the riverbank.

This kind of killing is far less painful than that of the cavalry, Jiang Ning has no interest in inspecting the results of the battle, so he turned back and leaned under the battlement, stepped on the pull ring of the divine arm bow in his hand vigorously, and loaded a new crossbow arrow on it.

A steady stream of foot soldiers ran across the moat with large shields, jumped over the ladder on the sheep and horse wall, jumped into the inner city, and then took the ladder handed over from behind, rushed to the city wall, which was only ten steps away, and struggled to lean the ladder against the tall wall.

Thinking that the thing was too slow, Jiang Ning threw away the divine arm bow in his hand, grabbed the fire oil bomb in the wooden box on the side, and lit it on the torch inserted in the city, and threw it out without looking down, and there was a miserable howl immediately from the city, although the ladders were constantly knocked down or burned, but more ladders were immediately erected.

The constant drop of firebombs and the light from the rockets had made it clear to the city, and when they looked at the past, there were dense shields, and even the fire did not make these people flinch.

The enemy stepped on the corpses of his companions and struggled to climb the ladder, and Jiang Ning was a little shocked to see that at several battlements, the enemy foot soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city were already slashing at the defenders.

"Well done! That's it, pass on a certain order, if you can break the city, the first to get a heavy reward. Beat the war drum louder, and the rear team was ready to rush forward. ”

Dong Wenbing's banner was still in the traditional Han army style, with only a surname embroidered on it, and he planted the flag in the place immediately in front of the military formation so that he could see it more clearly.

After the order of the pro-soldier was ordered, he stared at the battle in the distance with some excitement, under the firelight, he could see that his men were already in the city, originally just wanted to contain the attack, but he didn't expect a blow to have such a good effect.

Dong Wenbing suddenly thought, this is after the troops are sent out in the city, is it possible that their troops are empty at present?

Whether it was or not, he decided to attack with all his might, even if he failed to break the city in the end, he could let the Song army who left the city return in vain.

In the dark night, he didn't use the arrow cart and the return cannon, so it was the best, everyone fought for their lives to see who could hold out to the end.

Dong Wenbing, who had made up his mind, raised his arms again, and a phalanx of 1,000 people began to move forward, slowly accelerating and running forward.

Before he could put down his arm, his own soldier led a man to his horse, and the man did not speak, but fell to one knee on the ground.

"Attari? Why do you look like this, Guo Er thought, what happened. ”

Dong Wenbing's raised face was taken aback, his hair was braided and draped in a mess, the helmet didn't know where to go, and the whole person was very wolf under the illumination of the torch, how long has it been?

Attari's next words made him almost fall off his horse, a whole two thousand cavalry troops, less than five hundred people returned, and they also took a Mongolian thousand households, and they didn't even see the appearance of their opponents clearly, devil?

"The child is silent, and the strange force is confused"

, how could Dong Wenbing believe this kind of rhetoric.

"Get up, take your people to find Yan Che'er Wanhu, you are his subordinate, it doesn't matter how you punish so-and-so. Sue him, and bring someone back immediately, this is the order of the big handsome. ”

Dong Wenbing forcibly suppressed the thought of killing this person, waved his hand and sent him away, Attari didn't say much, got up and left after a salute.

Regardless of whether what Attari said is true or not, the situation of Ximen is definitely not optimistic, Dong Wenbing calculated in his heart, before Yan Che'er turned around, he now had a cavalry team of 1,000 people available, and there was no chance of victory in the night, so he could not be sent out again like this.

"Why didn't you hear the sound of the drums, go and beat the deacon ten times, and then ignore it, and behead the public!"

The inexplicable irritability made Dong Wenbing angry, and the good words turned into a roar on his lips.

Obviously, the drum sounded like thunder, and everyone around looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything, and a personal soldier ran to the side of the snare drum with his head down.

Liu Yu on the high platform at the west gate of the city was also in a little uneasy, and the sound of the military drum from the south of the city was very clear, so he couldn't pretend not to hear it, damn, can't you let Lao Tzu win a battle smoothly, why do these supporting characters jump out one by two to steal the show?

"Brother Yu, let me take a look."

Xiao Lori looked at his expression and whispered on the side, Liu Yu thought about it and had no other way, he couldn't leave here at all, so he could only do so.

"There are still more than 1,000 forbidden troops in the city, you bring them all, be prepared, if there is nothing to do, teach Jiang Ning's kid a hard lesson."

Liu Yu tried his best to say it in a relaxed tone, but he knew in his heart that Jiang Ning was not a fool, let alone ignorant of military discipline, and beating drums late at night could only mean that the situation was very strict.

Liu Yu watched the figure of the little Lori go away, this is not too far from the south gate, the news will come in a while, it is useless to think about it, he settled down, his eyes turned to the sand table in front of him, the shelling has gradually approached the dock, as long as he can solve the enemy army here first, there is more strength to deal with other places.
