Tian Fucheng looked at the city wall that had finally been swept away, and let out a long breath in his heart, this was the eighth day he had arrived in Langya, and today, he could finally attack the city wall head-on and engage the enemy in close combat. At first, I thought that Langya was a piece of dough cake, and if I bite it casually, I can pick up a mouthful of powder, but I don't want to go down this bite, but I almost broke my teeth.

Fortunately, early this morning, the envoy of Jicheng arrived, announcing that the main force of the Qi army had taken Jicheng, and now the main force is divided into two, one sweeping the remnants of the enemy in Tianhe County, and guarding the Eastern Army led by Ye Zhen, who borders Yuyang, and the other is traveling day and night, rushing to Langya, this news has greatly boosted the morale of the Qi army, and also added countless confidence to Tian Fucheng.

Father has done it, now it's up to him.

"Siege! He said sharply: "The brave who meet on the narrow road wins, and the first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand gold and ascend to the three poles!" ＂

Under the heavy reward, there are naturally brave men, and the Qi army, which is already with high morale, is encouraged by this bounty, and frantically pounces on Langya City.

The moat has long been filled, the barbed wire has been pulled out, looking at the countless siege vehicles slowly approaching, and the Qi army swarming with ladders, Zheng Xiaoyang stood up from the top of the city tower and pulled out the waist knife that he had not unsheathed these days.

"It's time for dinner! He whispered.

With the sound of clanging, a cloud ladder set up the city wall, the soldiers shouted ants to go up, and a little farther away, under the cover of a shield array composed of shields, the archers of the Qi army were shooting at the top of the city, and those siege vehicles, there were also shields, half of which were erected bed crossbows, covering and suppressing the firepower of the city, and the other part was hiding countless soldiers, these siege vehicles, huge in size, almost at the height of the city wall, if you let it get close, The soldiers on the siege cart can then jump directly onto the walls and fight the defenders.

Compared with the siege skills of the Donghu people, the Qi people are indeed several grades higher. As soon as you go all out, it will be like thunder.

The bed crossbows on the city no longer shoot at the city, but concentrate their forces to deal with those siege vehicles, often dozens of bed crossbows shoot a siege vehicle at the same time, only one round of shooting, the siege vehicle will be crushed, whether it is people or crossbows, with the collapsed siege vehicle crashed down.

There are many opponents, Zheng Xiaoyang can not carry out long-range strikes and shoot at the opponent in every direction, he gathered five hundred crossbowmen, each equipped with three crossbows, three hundred people shoot, two hundred people loaded crossbows, so that they can maintain continuous shooting, the strong force of the arm crossbow makes its killing distance far exceed the archers under the city, and they are dealing with those Qi archers hidden behind the shield array.

From the standard position of the old crossbowman, an order, countless crossbow arrows were shot into the air in a projectile way, after these crossbow arrows just crossed the shield array, they suddenly turned down, and the swarm swarm stung towards the enemy behind the shield array, and each round down, the enemy behind the shield array shot down a large piece, and after a few rounds, one by one the shield arrays were forced to retreat. Retreated, retreated, retreated, and finally retreated to the point where the bow and arrow could not threaten the city at all, and the crossbowmen ignored them, turned in a different direction, and began another round of shooting.

Compared with bows and arrows, the arm-open crossbow saves the soldier's arm strength and allows the soldier to shoot unlimitedly, which is an advantage that the Qi army cannot compare with at all, and the Qi army also has a crossbow, but its range is not as good as the bow and arrow, and the arm-open crossbow cannot be compared at all.

Without the threat of bows and arrows from the Qi army under the city, the soldiers defending the city unscrupulously exposed half of their bodies from the city wall, and threw down the stones and trees like soldiers, until the ghosts cried and howled below.

This kind of nail beat, said to be a beat, is actually knotted together with log nails, on which are loaded with sharp spear blades, each side weighs several catties, and is put down by the soldiers of the Eastern Army, accompanied by a heavy rumbling sound, the ladder is slapped in two, and the soldiers attached to the ladder are dying next to each other, and they are also dead, and the worst thing is to be stuck in the body by these sharp spear blades but not die for a while, and the howl is terrible. When the Eastern Army pulled up the nails, there were mostly Qi soldiers who were still struggling desperately and could not die, which was terrifying.

The dead fall to the ground, but the living follow one another.

With a bang, a siege vehicle finally approached the city wall, and with a bang, the shield array blocking the front suddenly dispersed, and hundreds of Qi soldiers rushed out, jumped off the city wall from the siege vehicle, and slashed at the defenders of the city wall.

The soldiers guarding this section of the expedition to the east suddenly retreated, leaving a blank, and actually calmly retreated these Qi troops onto the city wall, and at the moment when these Qi troops were stunned, the roar of the arms and crossbows rang out, and a large number of crossbow arrows completely enveloped this area.

The siege vehicle is so huge, how can people not notice it when they are close to the city wall, the Zhengdong army concentrated its forces to eliminate the siege vehicles in front of and behind him, but let them come close, and ambushed the crossbowmen here in advance, and wiped out all the Qi troops on this siege vehicle without much effort.

After the crossbow arrows, on this section of the city wall, the corpses of the Qi army fell on top of each other, after a round of arrow attacks, these crossbowmen swept away like the wind, the foot soldiers rushed up with cheers, and threw the corpses of the Qi army down the city wall, regardless of whether some people were still alive, grabbed the legs and threw them down, and some soldiers poured grease on the siege vehicle, several torches were thrown over, and with a bang, the entire siege vehicle became a huge torch, and under the city, the Qi army that was climbing up along the siege vehicle immediately scattered and fled, The one who escapes a little slower immediately turns himself into a burning man.

Tian Fucheng, who was in the distance, saw a siege vehicle leaning against the city wall, and before he had time to rejoice, he saw the corpses of Qi soldiers being thrown from the city, and the siege vehicle was also wiped out in the fire.

In a fierce battle, the Qi army climbed the city wall several times, but all of them were such traps made by the Eastern Army, it was easy to go up and difficult to go down, but those who climbed the city almost did nothing, and they became the soul of the Eastern Army.

The Eastern Army is not afraid of close combat, unlike the general defenders who are afraid that the siegers will climb the city wall to occupy the bridgehead, they even deliberately loosen a distance to let the enemy climb the city wall, and then when the siege generals under the city are still mobilizing troops and horses to prepare to focus on attacking this area, the Qi army that climbed up to the city has been killed by chopping melons and vegetables.

This style of play is based on the absolute confidence of the Eastern Army in its own combat effectiveness, and in the early stage of the siege, a large number of the enemy's living forces were killed and wounded, which caused a huge shock to the enemy's psychology.

Tian Fucheng finally learned what it means to conquer the Eastern Army. In this kind of face-to-face fighting, Tian Fucheng had to admit that the opponent's combat skills and combat experience were obviously stronger than his own army, which made him involuntarily have a sense of fear for the hundreds of thousands of troops who were still in Donghu.

From the contempt at the beginning, to the attention on the way, to the current trace of fear, maybe Tian Fucheng himself has not noticed it, but he has quietly planted a seed in his heart, and I don't know when it will take root and blossom.

Father's army is already on the way to Langya, if before he arrives, he has not taken Langya, I am afraid that his brave and resourceful image in his father's heart will be greatly discounted, the elder brother's face with a gentle smile floats in his heart, if Tian Dan is both civil and military, then his two sons inherited his two sides, the eldest son is wise, the second son is brave.

"Regardless of casualties, day and night, I will exchange my life for my life and take Langya! Tian Fucheng burst out these words from between his teeth, as long as he can take Langya and capture Ye Jing'er and Happy alive, then no matter how many casualties there are now, it will be worth it, because this will set a tone for the future war, and Ye Jing'er and Happy will become their most important bargaining chips.

Ding Wei finally set foot on the land of Langya, at this time he was still nearly two hundred miles away from Langya City, and marched with all his might, for his subordinates who were almost all foot soldiers, it would take at least five or six days of effort, fortunately, until now, he had not heard the news that Langya was broken, as long as he stepped on this land, he could share some pressure for Langya City.

Ding Wei's department, originally resting in western Liaoning, when attacking Kunshan Pass, his troops suffered great casualties, more than 10,000 people, nearly one-third of the casualties, and now he rescued Langya, only more than 6,000 people, and among them, the cavalry only has more than 500 people, and they have to face as many as 50,000 or 60,000 Qi troops, or even more. But Ding Wei did not have the slightest fear, unlike Zheng Xiaoyang, who is now trapped in Langya and does not know the foreign situation, he already knew on the way to the march that Zhang Hongyu's new first army did not participate in the final battle of Helin, but after receiving the urgent report from Langya, he was ordered by Ye Zhong to return urgently, and when he set foot on Langya, they were afraid that they had also returned to Liaoxi, and the emergency mobilization of Liaoxi, Jishi, Hejian and other places also allowed Zhengdongfu to collect tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time. Although the combat power of these volunteers composed of retired veterans is not enough to confront the Qi army head-on, they can ensure that all parts of western Liaoning are not harassed by the Qi army, if the Qi army can fight to western Liaoning.

"Master Ding! Chen Wei came from the front, and when he arrived in front of Ding Wei, he flew off his horse, "Just now the scout came to report, twenty miles ahead of our army, we found the enemy's cavalry sentry, our scouts fought with it, killed three people, captured one alive, and the rest fled."

"What's the situation? Ding Wei's heart sank.

"It's not that Langya City is broken, but the enemy's cavalry of up to 20,000 people is rushing in our direction, it seems that the Qi army can't take Langya County City in a hurry, and sent this cavalry to attack Liaoxi by surprise."

"Liaoxi doesn't have anything to do for a while, but Lao Tzu is a little unlucky! Ding Wei exhaled fiercely, "Around here, where is there any terrain or city that can be used?" ＂

"More than ten miles on our left flank is Guangping County of Langya County."

"The whole army turned, marched hurriedly, went to Guangping County, Chen Wei, gathered all our cavalry and scouts, confusing the enemy, buying time for the main force to transfer, tell them, delay for an hour, they can run away, find a way to retreat on their own, and then find an opportunity to join us later."

"Got it! Chen Wei turned around and hurried away. R1152
