At the peak of ecstasy was driven into the abyss of despair, the morale of the party army was almost close to freezing, and one by one was like a lonely ghost.

The airships in the sky approached step by step, the artillery fire was still roaring and bombarding the crowd, and the one-sided killing, although brutal, reminded everyone present that technology is combat effectiveness.

A low and bitter horn sounded at the head of Yanzhou City, this is the order to collect troops and return to the camp, countless party cavalry, can finally return to the city, this day's battle is really fed up.

If you don't have the confidence, you want to run? Then take advantage of the momentum and attack the city.

Lu Zhishen sent 2,000 left troops to outflank, and 4,000 mercenaries on the right, and the two pursued and annihilated the party cavalry together, and at the same time, with the assistance of artillery and airships, it was very promising to break the city in one fell swoop.

As long as Yanzhou City is broken and the wild and fierce Wei Minglan is replaced, even if he is a famous general in a hundred battles, there may not be any good way to stop the wild wolf army from seizing the city.

The entire battlefield was filled with the slogan of the Wild Wolf Army, "Disarm and don't kill, the Wild Wolf Army treats prisoners preferentially!" Many soldiers also used various party dialects to reprimand the fleeing party members.

Not to mention, many discouraged party clans have no sense of honor and mission at all. Seeing that the troops on his side had lost the battle, and now they couldn't run, they simply dropped their weapons, dismounted and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, which was regarded as surrender.

The soldiers of the Wild Wolf Army galloped past them, chasing the most stubborn diehards, shouting three times without stopping, and those who still refused to lay down their weapons even if they ran wildly with their heads in their hands, naturally solved them one by one with bows and crossbows.

A head is money, and it is also a merit.

For example, the marksman pillar, at the end of the day, killed forty-five enemies, three levels of one turn, the highest nine turns, he only needs twenty-seven levels. The remaining eighteen levels are divided into five loaders, and each of them can be assigned to three levels. The other three levels depend on who pays more to buy them, or sell them to others for everyone's money.

According to the reward of the Great Song Dynasty, a party soldier has five guan, a cavalryman has 20 guan, an iron harrier has 50 guan, and a captured war horse can get 100 guan.

And the Wild Wolf Army is completely implemented according to this reward, and the mercenaries only need money, so they reached an agreement with Lin Chong very happily. In addition to the head, take a city gate plus 2,000 guan, next a barracks plus 5,000 guan, if you occupy a city, start with 10,000 guan.

Such a rich reward has long raised the appetite of mercenaries, and the city and military camp are still relatively difficult for mercenaries who lack heavy weapons, but the city gate has been beaten upside down, and many troops have indeed received a bonus of 2,000 yuan.

Therefore, several groups of mercenaries went to the east gate and the north gate.

At the head of the East Gate, Wei Minglan looked at the party soldiers and horses in a hurry, followed by the wolf army desperately chasing, more than 6,000 routs, at least more than 2,000 were intercepted by them, and the rest were clueless, crowded outside the East Gate.

In order to save as many men and horses as possible, the ballistas at the head of the city and the trebuchets in the city began to implement interception tactics against the wolf army. It's a pity that it hardly worked, except for attracting artillery reverse fire and high-altitude bombardment from airships.

Especially under the command of the airship, the artillery of the wild wolf army seemed to have eyes, and all kinds of ballistas, trebuchets and other high-destruction weapons or party army assembly points and supply points were all bombed accurately.

In the face of the coordinated operation of infantry and air, the whole city of Yanzhou City was shaken, and many people understood that this battle was fought to this point, and if it continued to fight, it would be tantamount to suicide.

So in the evening, Wei Minglan and Ye Limeng made a reasonable decision. Ye Limeng took the elite troops back to Xingqing Mansion to defend Xingqing Mansion, and at the same time be sure to inform Li Qianshun of the actual situation of the battle in Yanzhou, and take the initiative to defend Xingqing Mansion as soon as possible.

Wei Minglan led the old and weak soldiers and was responsible for carrying out a street battle for the soldiers of the Wild Wolf Army in Yanzhou City.

As the east gate of Xingqing Mansion, Yanzhou City is strategically located. After years of operation, all the rooftops, behind the doors, and underground passages of each street can be raided.

With 15,000 of the most elite cavalry, Ye Li fled in a hurry. The remaining 25,000 soldiers were arranged by Wei Minglan to Chengtou and barricades, hoping to drag the wild wolf army to the greatest extent.

The scout came over to report: "The Khitans have also gone to Xingqing Mansion." ”

Wei Minglan remembered that the cavalry general of this suzerainty country and his arrogant five thousand cavalry, equipment and momentum could indeed control the scene.

However, none of this worked in front of the Wild Wolf Army, and this Khitan did not face the Wild Wolf Army head-on in the end. When the battle ended, he was silent, and followed Ye Li to turn into Xingqing Mansion.

Well, these days, the army of the Celestial Empire is not very easy to mix, and when I met the wolf army, it was called a slap in the face. Wei Minglan touched his beard, anyway, he didn't expect the Khitans to play much of a role, and now he was worried about it.

Watching the airship gradually cross the city wall, bombarding various defensive points little by little, everywhere they passed, there was a mess.

Wei Minglan muttered a curse and issued an order to fight separately, with the slogan "Let the invaders pay the price of blood for every step". Then he led the people down and disappeared into all kinds of buildings in the city.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the mercenaries finally broke through many city defenses and began a large-scale siege of the city, entering Yanzhou City from the northeast and south.

Street fighting begins.

The most painful part of siege warfare is street fighting, which is overwhelming. Sometimes it is normal to consume hundreds of people for the sake of a few houses.

The mercenaries knew that Yanzhou was an important city and was not so easy to take down, so they took a relatively cautious door-to-door inventory operation. But at night, the advance was unusually slow.

In view of the actual situation, Lu Zhishen thinks that he can only strike while the iron is hot, otherwise he will free up his hands for the old guy Wei Minglan, and he doesn't know what damage will happen.

As soon as Zhu Wu was about to mobilize 2,000 wild wolf troops into the city to assist the mercenaries and musket teams in encircling and suppressing the remnants of the enemy, he heard waves of exclamations and shouts inside and outside the city.

"It's a fire, it's a big fire!"

"Fight the fire, our house is on fire, come and put out the fire!"

"Ahh Help me put out the fire."

Lu Zhishen and Zhu Wu changed their complexions when they heard this, Wei Minglan's guy had lost his bottom line, and he would actually choose to set fire to this hurtful decision?

As far as the eye can see, fires have broken out in many places, and the fires are expanding their influence one after another. The party item is very giving

However, for Wei Minglan, the first thing is obviously to find ways to delay the wolf army. A delay of one hour here is equivalent to buying an extra hour for Xingqing Mansion, so that they will be more prepared.

The whole city had already begun to burn on a large scale, and Lu Zhishen saw the flames rolling over, so he had to give up the original plan. The Wild Wolf Army fighters were forced to withdraw from Yanzhou. The incomparable fire gradually engulfed the city of Yanzhou.
