In the summer, the Yangtze River began to rain continuously, in recent days, dark clouds shrouded, from time to time rain down, or surging, or dripping, but for several days I am afraid that it is difficult to open and clear.

Li Jing, as the commander-in-chief, threw out the command flag and launched the order to siege the city.

"The three armies obey the order and immediately attack the city!"

The military order was like a mountain, and after it was issued, the three military formations soon responded.

Suddenly, the trumpets sounded in unison, the thunder drums shook the sky, the phalanx moved forward, and the soldiers ran, waving the blades in their hands, and shouting and killing roared out.

Overhead, the sky was full of arrow feathers like locusts, pouring out to cover the attacking soldiers.

And the guards at the head of the city also responded, drawing their bows and firing arrows, shooting at each other.

"Kill—"

"Storm the city!"

Dahua soldiers arrived at the city, shouting loudly, increasing confidence and self-confidence, this is a kind of psychological warfare, to intimidate the opponent, suppress the morale of the defenders, but also to cheer themselves up, after all, there is about to fight, the front row is cannon fodder.

The first round of attacks was still Dahua's soldiers and horses, in order to show a morale and bravery, deter the other party, and also to give an example to the preparation troops in the rear.

The tidal wave of soldiers set up ladders and hooked carts, and rushed up in a swarm, quite brave, but under the attack of rolling logs, stones, boiling water, etc., they were unfortunately hit, and fell to the ground and died in wailing.

"Ah, my eyes!" One of the soldiers was shot by an arrow, piercing his left eye, screaming so deeply that he injured his brain, and soon fell to the ground, convulsed and died.

"My legs—"

"Ahh Scalded grandpa! ”

Some people were hit by rolling logs, their legs were broken and their brains were cracked, and some were sprinkled on their faces by boiling hot water, and their facial features were hideous in pain.

One group fell, another group topped, and an ancient siege battle unfolded fiercely.

There is a cloud in the book of war: 'Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the multiple will divide it'.

Li Jing led the troops, today the siege of 50,000 horses, plus 10,000 troops, and 10,000 horses from the ferry, besieged the city and stormed.

The soldiers defending the city, most of them are soldiers of the townspeople, where have they seen such a bloody scene, looking at the scalp numb, but the military order is like a mountain, there is no way to retreat, so they can only grit their teeth and insist on resisting.

The Dahua vanguard soldiers surged up like a tide, but they were killed by the defenders and went down to the city, and the two armies were injured in the confrontation, and the grief shook the sky.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Dahua soldiers are constantly attacking the city, but the ancient city of Xiazhou is majestic, and it has been thickened and heightened in advance, and the stone bullets are smashed up, but there is no big gap.

Li Jing observed the cooperation between the defenders from a distance, the transportation of weapons, the deployment of defense, the fighting and so on, and had roughly guessed that the strength of this army was indeed much worse than that of the Dahua athletes, and he only wanted to be six or seven percent of the combat power, but relying on the advantages of the city, he could barely hold on.

Moreover, the defenders are at this moment when they are ready to resist with enough morale, and they cannot completely disperse the morale of the defenders for a period of time.

"Send troops up and fill it in!" Li Jing's face was cold, and his eyes were full of decisiveness.

At such a time, it is necessary to continue killing to break the will of the defenders, so that the sharp spirit will be reduced, fatigue, fear, and war-weariness appear, which is the time for the elite soldiers and horses to attack.

Surrendered troops were sent from three battlefields, each with two or three thousand men, dressed in the clothes of Dahua soldiers, their faces were smeared with ink, etc., and they could not see their faces clearly, and they threatened to attack the city.

Yesterday has been mobilized, as long as you fight seriously, you can also rely on military merits, change your identity, and even be reused in the future to become a real soldier of Dahua.

If you are passive and slack, there are overseers, overseers, and slashes at any time, and even archers behind you to aim in case of rebellion.

The arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent, because the Liang army defending the city can't recognize these faces, and in the battle, they can't hear any shouts, just staring at the clothes to identify the enemy and me, even if these soldiers are sent up, there is no killing machine at first, but in the face of the rolling wood that is smashed down head-on, the arrows shot down, they also have to resist, and the surrounding soldiers drive the atmosphere and follow the siege.

People are all with the herd, and it is easy to screw together and charge in one direction because of one goal and one atmosphere.

At this time, the city is like an isolated island, the battle array is like a cloud, and the soldiers of the Dahua side are under the cover of the arrows and feathers in the sky, hitting the city gate, climbing the ladder, and boarding the car, and attacking the city wall one by one.

"Kill—"

"Take the city!"

This battle, fought from morning to noon, in full swing, although the attacking side has many generals, but under the disadvantage of the geographical advantage, the dead and wounded are pillowed, looking at the confrontation from a distance, as if ripe grapes fell down from the city wall, and the brains were broken, and became a puddle of bruises.

I saw that the corpses of the robe were gradually piled up under the city, and the soldiers behind were angry and red-eyed, without the slightest mercy, trampling on the corpses to attack the city.

Li Jing saw that the morale of the army defending the city had reached the point of faltering, and knew that it was almost over, so he ordered the removal of the soldiers who had suffered heavy casualties, and then used the army's killer weapon - black powder, to throw it at the head of the city, in addition, the five thousand elite and courageous men in the army were ready to be sent to storm it.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Some explosive packets of black powder were thrown up by catapults, and they kept exploding.

The soldiers on the head of the city were directly blown away, the flesh and blood were blurred, and under the smoke of gunpowder, the Liang army was frightened, they were in the south, they had not experienced a major war for too long, unlike the northern athletes, the government soldiers often went to participate in the battles with the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Goguryeo, and the government soldier system was mature.

South of the Yangtze River, especially the land of the two lakes and Yunnan, the jungle is dense, there are many rivers and lakes, the communication is not as convenient as the northern Central Plains, and even across a mountain, the dialects are different, isolated from the world, do not interact, and many cultures, systems, etc., in the northern Central Plains, are not completely implemented.

The same is true for conscription and recruitment of new troops, and few of the soldiers here bravely go north, cross the Yangtze River, cross the Yellow River, and go to the north to fight in the army, and the environment and customs are not adaptable.

Therefore, the southern soldiers have been peaceful for 30 years, there has been no major war for a long time, and they have not seen this kind of black powder, under such a fierce attack, there is also the explosion of black powder, which completely shocked the Liang army guards, and the morale was completely lost.

"Kill!"

This group of brave people, are all Guanzhong athletes, tall, powerful, more than the height of the Liang army, plus perennial in the cold land, perennial battle, excellent physique, the whole body exudes a fierce atmosphere and murderous aura, this charge, the Liang army's courage was completely lost, the city is already precarious, about to be lost.
