"Prince" Xiang Xian thought of the seriousness of his defeat under Danyang City, and his face turned pale.

He took out the sword at his waist, pointed at Danyang County, and shouted: "In today's battle, either the prince was killed or Danyang County was captured.

If you win the battle today, you will be the prince of the dragon, and the prince will be the emperor in the future, and he will definitely not treat you badly. If you lose today, none of you will survive. ”

"Yes, Prince!"

"I'm the equivalent of death!"

The generals and captains had numb scalps.

They also know that the situation is extremely serious.

They led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but they couldn't even capture a small Danyang county town. Not to mention that the prince can't eat and walk around after he goes back, and their group of generals who accompany the army will definitely not end well.

Wu Wang Xiang Bi is short-tempered, how can he give them good fruits to eat?

If the battle is unfavorable, either go to prison or behead it!

"The whole army obeys the order!"

"Attack the East Gate!"

"A thousand miscellaneous soldiers are the vanguard, consuming gunpowder on the opposite side."

"A thousand elite infantry as the main force, follow the miscellaneous soldiers after twenty steps, and rush to the head of Danyang City!"

"Another thousand elite infantry in the second wave, armed with bows and arrows to suppress the musketeers at the head of the city, followed the front and charged again."

"Three thousand miscellaneous soldiers flanked and went to the south and north gates of Danyang City to launch a feint attack and disperse the forces defending the city. Leave the West Gate behind and let them escape! ”

"A thousand light cavalry lay in ambush at the rear. Once they escaped from Danyang County, they immediately followed and killed, and did not let any of them go. ”

"A thousand people are in the battle for the overseer, and those who dare to escape from the battle will be killed on the spot!"

"Before sunset, capture Danyang County!"

Xiang Xian arranged his troops and ordered the generals to act.

His dispatch of troops was quite strictly forbidden, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Yes!"

The generals received the order, divided up with a huge army, and began to approach Danyang County.

...

"Lord Li, they divided their troops and passed towards the other city gates."

Zhao Hu said hurriedly.

"I will leave 3,000 men to guard the east gate. Zhao Hu and Jiang Gang, each of you will bring 1,000 people, pull ten small steel cannons, and go to guard the north and south gates. ”

Li Dangnian said.

"Yes!"

Zhao Hu, the county lieutenant, and Jiang Gang, the warden, took two thousand miscellaneous soldiers to the other two city gates.

After a battle, and sheltered by the city wall, the two of them also had a little confidence.

Li Kangnian stayed at the east city gate with four thousand miscellaneous soldiers, watching Wu Junhei suppress a group of thousands of soldiers and horses, and pressed up near the city gate.

On the head of Danyang City, the palms and backs of the Danyang soldiers were sweaty.

They were now a group of miscellaneous soldiers, but a few hours ago, they were blacksmiths and miners in the workshops, and they had never been on the battlefield at all.

Although I have trained on weekdays, I have never been on the battlefield.

The younger ones are no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and the older ones are forty or fifty years old.

"Uncle, do you think this battle can be won?"

"The little marquis took us to earn so much money, built a new house, married a daughter-in-law, and lived a good life, and we can't lose his face.

It doesn't matter if it wins or loses, just do it to the death. If this battle is lost, all the property in the city will be lost, what are you still alive for! All our belongings are in the county seat, and we can't escape. ”

"After this battle, I will immediately go to marry a daughter-in-law and have a few babies."

"Phew, your hair hasn't grown yet, have you saved enough money to marry your daughter-in-law?"

"Uncle, it's long enough, we blacksmiths can build a house and marry a daughter-in-law after a year's work. I've been a blacksmith for two years! ”

A group of blacksmiths laughed and cursed, holding the powder guns in their hands, and began to aim at the outside of the city, approaching the Wu army step by step.

Wu's army reached Danyang City a hundred paces away.

But at the head of the city, there was no movement, and no fire was fired.

Li Kangnian didn't move at all, looking nervously at the Wu army under the city, waiting for them to go further.

The gunpowder gun shot too slowly, and he only had a chance to shoot in one wave, and he must cripple the Wu army on the opposite side.

The blacksmiths were nervous, but they did not have orders and did not dare to fire.

"Shoot the arrows and suppress the musketeers at the head of the city!"

Xiang Xian drank vigorously.

A thousand elite infantry, immediately drew their bows and fired a volley at the head of the city.

Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~!

Arrows flew up the city and landed on the walls.

Jingle Bell!

These arrows fell on the defenders at the head of the city, hitting the helmets and fine steel armor of the Danyang soldiers, and they were directly bounced away, almost tickling.

Unless it is shot through the gap between the armor, it can be pierced into the flesh.

But this is almost minimal, and it rarely hits.

At the head of the city, the three thousand Danyang miscellaneous soldiers were all wearing the finest steel armor of the Great Chu Dynasty, and they did not dodge the arrows, but still stood in place with their heads bowed, not moving at all.

Bows and arrows won't hurt them at all.

Unless Wu Jun was carrying a heavy weapon such as a trebuchet, he would not be able to inflict any damage on them from a distance.

"Rush!"

Xiang Xian drank vigorously.

The Wu army was a hundred paces under the city, after a round of archery to suppress the head of the city.

Finally began to charge.

A thousand miscellaneous soldiers were in front, and a thousand elite infantry followed closely behind, charging towards the city.

"Fifty steps!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

Li Kangnian yelled.

Suddenly, Danyang City's head once again remembered the dense sound of muskets firing.

There was a smoke of gunpowder, and the thousands of miscellaneous soldiers at the front fell like wheat in the smoke.

Immediately after, seventy small steel cannons opened fire at the same time.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

More than seventy fist-sized iron pills flew out with a roar and landed in the depths of the Wu army's camp two hundred paces away.

Everywhere you go.

Dust splattered, and flesh was a blur.

Whether it was a war horse or a soldier, all of them were directly knocked out by the iron pills.

In the camp of the Wu army, hundreds of people suddenly wailed, and they were hit by the iron pill cannon.

The Wu army's camp was in chaos for a while.

"Rush ——! Rush to the head of the city for me! ”

Xiang Xian roared desperately, wielding his whip, driving this group of chaotic soldiers to charge towards the city.

After firing a wave of projectiles, the 1,000 elite infantry of the Wu army had already rushed to the foot of the city wall. They erected hundreds of ladders and began to climb up desperately.

"Draw your sword!"

"Get on the spear!"

"Cut them down!"

Li Kangnian roared fiercely, and there was no time to reload gunpowder and projectiles, so he drew his saber and slashed at the Wu army on the ladder at the head of the city.

"Poof!"

"Kill ——!"

The Danyang miscellaneous soldiers dropped their arquebuses and directly used their broadswords to slash wildly at the head of the city.

Blacksmith miners have nothing else, a pair of arm strength, that's absolutely good.

Great strength, fierce power.

A slash is like smashing an iron ingot.

The stamina is still long-lasting, and I don't feel tired after a few hundred swings.

"Poof!"

The hundreds of elite soldiers of the Wu army who rushed to the head of the city had just shown their heads, and before they could gain a firm foothold in the city, they were slashed and stabbed by several big knives and spears at the same time, screaming and falling down.

Some elite soldiers of the Wu army with superb martial arts fiercely waved the big knives in their hands and slashed towards the Danyang soldiers at the head of the city.

But they felt desperate.

It's actually steel armor!

Danyang soldiers, everyone is wearing steel armor, their big knives slashed at Danyang soldiers, and the fire was splashing, but they were not injured at all.

Thousands of elite infantry of the Wu army desperately climbed the ladder, but they were overturned by the Danyang soldiers at the head of the city, and they fell down to the city one after another, but they couldn't rush up.

They couldn't rush up, so they could only retreat tiredly.

Driven by the battle team, another wave of Wu army miscellaneous soldiers rushed up and continued to charge towards the city, consuming the physical strength of the Danyang soldiers at the head of the city.

From dusk to nightfall, it lasted for nearly an hour.

The smoke dissipated.

The two armies finally came to a halt.

"How many more men do we have? ... Another wave, can it be captured? ”

Xiang Xian rode a horse, outside this small Danyang County, his expression was almost desperate.

"Prince, three thousand soldiers have died and two thousand have been wounded! The two elite infantry were completely wiped out, leaving a thousand elite cavalry to supervise the battle, and thousands of miscellaneous troops, all of whom had lost their courage and could not fight at all. ”

"The Danyang soldiers at the head of the city have not been reduced at all, there are still so many people. Where are they miscellaneous soldiers, I'm afraid that the elite infantry of the imperial court can't fight them! ”

"In my life, I have never fought such a difficult city! This is more difficult to attack than the county capital. To fight this Danyang County, it is better to attack Wanling City! ”

"Prince, let's withdraw!"

"This Danyang County is too difficult to fight, it can resist more than a turtle shell, let's explain it to the king, and the king will understand your suffering!"

The generals wept.

With such heavy casualties, if it was a field battle, the Wu army would have collapsed long ago and dispersed in a hurry. That is, the Danyang soldiers did not leave the city alive or dead, so they did not flee.

After desperately attacking the city, even the Danyang soldiers failed to hurt a few, and they had no confidence in fighting.
