On July 22, late at night, I couldn't see my fingers! The breeze came slowly, bringing a touch of coolness to the hot summer night, making the soldiers and civilians in Shouyang City yawn again and again, drowsy.

Suddenly a drum sounded! Woke up the entire Shouyang City! Countless torches suddenly appeared around the original pitch black, illuminating Shouyang City as bright as day, countless Chen troops poured in from all directions to Shouyang City, and a large number of soldiers were quickly assembled outside the east gate of the outer city, and suddenly, the shouts and shouts inside and outside Shouyang City rang out!

"General, the Chen army on the periphery suddenly launched an attack, countless Chen soldiers attacked us from all sides, and they all gathered a large number of soldiers at the east gate of the outer city, it seems that they want to break through our defense line from the east gate!" An adjutant general hurriedly ran into Wang Lin's tent and reported to Wang Lin, who was also suddenly awakened.

"What? Night Raid! It's a good Wu Mingche, I haven't seen you for so many years, I have seen you, and you actually chose such a risky tactic as a sneak attack at night, and the army has just traveled a long way to Shouyang, and it is not like your style to attack! Even I was deceived by you! Pass my orders! Gather the army to resist now! Although they launched a night attack on us, it was also a disadvantage for them, and ordered the defenders on the city walls not to light torches, and the archers to shoot fiercely at the opponent's torches! They want to break through the east gate? This intention is too obvious! Immediately mobilize heavy troops and rush to the east gate to prevent Chen's army from breaking through the east gate! Wang Lin was really a battle-hardened general, and he immediately organized the defenders to resist the sneak attack of the Chen army.

The Chen army on the periphery of Shouyang City was armed with torches, and outside the range of the archers, they waved their flags and shouted, making bursts of roars, distracting the attention of the defenders, and on the east gate, nearly 10,000 infantry armed with thick shields and swords, swords and spears had been gathered, ready to rush into the city and start street battles with the defenders!

Originally, in traditional siege warfare, the attacker should not let the defenders of the city see which direction to break into the city, and most of them will use feints and attacks to break through. But this time, Chen Jun wanted to break through through the east gate so obviously, precisely because they had Xiao Yao's trump card!

Although Xiao Yao had run out of gunpowder on his mouth, Wu Mingche knew that this cautious fox could not really use up all the gunpowder at once, and would definitely leave a little gunpowder in case of emergency, so after all kinds of coercion and temptation, Xiao Yao could only take out all the family resources, and there were still hundreds of catties of gunpowder! So Xiao Yao tearfully made these gunpowder into explosives bags, and used them all to help Wu Mingche break the city!

"Wu Mingche, this old fox, is so hateful! Empty out all my home, without this gunpowder, those artillery pieces are just a pile of broken copper and iron, and my second company will be completely useless! Li Nong, blow up this East Gate for me immediately! Then follow the cavalry team and rush in and grab the money! Grab the food! Rob a woman! Xiao Yao said fiercely.

Several demolition soldiers of the second company carrying explosives bags, under the protection of layers of shield soldiers, resisted the continuous archery attacks and stone attacks of the defending soldiers on the city wall, and came to the wooden gate of the east gate with difficulty.

Shouyang City is an important military town since ancient times, not only the city is high and the water is deep, even the city gate is made of old elm wood in the deep mountains, it is unusually thick and hard, and the surface is also wrapped with iron, which can not only prevent fire, but also increase the hardness! If the soldiers alone hold the battering ram and want to break open the city gate, it will take at least hundreds of people to work together, but the hundred Rao team, in the eyes of the city defenders, is a live target, I am afraid that before they have time to hit the city gate a few times, they have been killed by the city defenders with arrows and stones!

But now Chen Jun only needs to send a few blasters, and then put them under the city gate, put explosives bags on the city gate, and then ignite them, "boom" a loud sound, more than 100 catties of explosives exploded at the same time, and the shock power was generated, even the defenders on the city wall were startled, and the ground shook the mountain, thinking it was an earthquake! And the two wooden doors that were more than ten centimeters thick and had been tightly closed were instantly blown out more than ten meters away!

"The gates are broken, brothers, rush in and kill them all!" Ren Mannu, who served as the main force of the siege, took the lead, holding a big sword, leading thousands of soldiers to rush into the outer city of Shouyang City from the east gate like a tide!

At this time, Wang Lin, who was leading the army to support the east gate, heard a loud noise, and then saw that Chen's army had rushed into the city, and couldn't help but be surprised!

"General, Chen Jun didn't know what spell he used, and he opened the city gate with a bang, and the city gate flew out a few feet away! It was louder than thunder, and the brothers were stupefied! I thought it was an earthquake! Now they've rushed in! One of the defenders reported to Wang Lin in horror that he was Wang Lin's newly recruited subordinate and had not participated in the Battle of Shiliang City, so of course he did not know what kind of weapon Chen Jun used.

Wang Lin patted his head and said in annoyance: "What a mistake! I actually forgot about Xiao Yao! ”

Since the Battle of Shiliang City, in the actions of the Chen army, he has not heard any news about Xiao Yao and the infantry battalion, and I thought that he did not follow Wu Mingche to Shouyang! Now this weapon that can make a loud noise and is so powerful must be the kind of firearm that Xiao Yao is using again!

Just when Wang Lin was annoyed, Ren Mannu had already led five thousand warriors to take the lead in rushing into the outer city, and the defenders started a white-knuckle battle, the streets of the outer city of Shouyang, were fighting everywhere, and countless Chen soldiers were still rushing in outside the city gate, Wang Lin arranged the defenders in the outer city had been dispersed by the Chen army, some had to flee in all directions, some raised their hands to surrender, and some died with the enemy! Many houses were also attacked, the people and soldiers were intertwined, the men were killed, the women were robbed, the wailing, the crying and scolding continued, and the entire Shouyang City became extremely chaotic!

"General, the Chen army has opened the north gate, and the two city gates have rushed into many Chen soldiers, and the brothers are starting to be unable to withstand it!" A subordinate who was covered in blood reported to Wang Lin.

"The hateful Wu Mingche actually played a night attack! No, we still have to save our strength! Pass my order, everyone retreats to the inner city and continues to resist Chen's army! "Wang Lin is not a reckless man, he clearly knows that now is not the time to be rash, even if he gives them the outer city, as long as he preserves his strength, he can use the inner city to resist the Chen army!

In the dark night, there was a sudden sound of bullhorns, and the defenders who were fighting with the Chen army in the outer city heard it, and quickly broke away from the battle, turned their heads and ran in the direction of the inner city, when the Chen army who reacted also rushed over, most of the defenders in the outer city had all withdrawn to the inner city, and closed the city gate, and the defenders guarding the inner city wall also shot arrows at the approaching Chen army, smashed stones angrily, and finally repelled the Chen soldiers who rushed up!

A white fish belly floated on the eastern side, the earth gradually brightened, and the fighting between the two armies that lasted all night gradually subsided, only cries for help and cries kept coming from all corners!

The outer city of Shouyang City has been broken by the Chen army, and now only the corpses are left everywhere, there are Chen Jun's and Qi army's, the strong smell of blood fills the fresh air in the early morning, and after people inhale it, they can't help but feel sick to their stomachs!

"Dudu, our army has captured the outer city of Shouyang City, and now Wang Lin has led the remnants of the army to retreat to the inner city, wait for us to recover and sleep well, and then capture the inner city in one breath and capture that Wang Lin alive!" After killing for one night, Ren Mannu, who looked a little tired, reported to Wu Mingche.

"How many casualties have we had? How many people are still in Wang Lin's hands now? Wu Mingche asked with a sad eyebrow, seeing such a tragic picture after the fierce battle in the outer city, he also felt a burst of sadness in his heart.

"The casualties are still being counted, but now there are more than 10,000 corpses left in this outer city, and nearly half of them are our soldiers of Da Chen!" Ren Mannu said distressedly.

"Five thousand! In one night of fierce fighting, we lost 5,000 soldiers, what a tragic victory! Wang Lin, Wang Lin, sure enough, the sword is not old! A newly formed army has such a strong combat effectiveness, which makes us suffer such a big loss! Send my order to collect these corpses, it is the hot summer, if you just bury them, it will be easy to produce diseases, so burn them all! Wu Mingche sighed.
