Xuzhou is like a lonely boat in the sea, and the cannonballs in the sky are like a storm on the sea, which has devastated the city.

Nikan commanded the Qing troops and resisted stubbornly, and after the artillery stopped, the Northern Expeditionary Army began to attack the city.

Arrows rained down on the head of the city, the sword and shield soldiers rushed to the city with shields to protect the soldiers and horses behind them, a big gap has been opened in the north city wall, and the soldiers turned over from this gap, which is Xuzhou City.

At this point, Nikan could only send his soldiers to make a wall of human flesh to keep the Northern Expeditionary Army out.

The spears continued to pierce out, stopping the Northern Expeditionary Army from attempting to attack, and the pierced warriors fell to the ground, blood pouring out. The moat that surrounds the city on all sides has long since turned into red blood water. Huge stones flew up from the head of the city and fell into the formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was a blur of flesh and blood.

The main defenders of the city were the Mongols, who were not accustomed to such a siege and were eager to mount their horses and rush out to fight the Han to the death. Every time the commander shouted, someone remembered to lift the stone and smash it under the city. In the place where they fought, there was no such thing as a city.

The Northern Expeditionary Army that came from Dangshan, Peixian, Fengxian, Xiaoxian and other places rushed to Xuzhou City in unison, and the battle was even more stalemate.

Suddenly, a large chunk of the eastern wall collapsed. There were breaches all around this wall, and many of the two warring sides below were stoned to death and wounded, and some of them who were lucky enough to escape this disaster crawled out from under the wall, wiped a handful of water and ash from their faces, and howled and continued to fight.

On the top of Yunlong Mountain, Hou Xuanyan stood quietly, looking at the scene below, like countless ants fighting. The wind blew with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, and the smell was disgusting, and war can never be equated with the word "beautiful" at any time. Xuzhou City was unexpectedly tenacious, losing the guards of the surrounding military towns, they could fight so bloodily, and the Northern Expeditionary Army had not yet broken all the way into the city.

The corpses of the two sides killed in the city are piled up enough to form a small mountain, but the battle situation still can't see which way it is falling, and Hou Xuanyan's brows gradually furrowed.

The flag on the top of the mountain waved, and the desolate horn sounded again, clearly reaching the ears of every soldier of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Almost all of them screamed, and then rushed forward, the huge crash crashing into the city gate until it collapsed.

At this time, the Mongol soldiers behind the gate were relieved, they did not like to stay in the city, and there was no reason for them to shrink back when the city gate was broken. The Mongols mounted their war horses and slashed through the streets and suburbs of Xuzhou. It's not their home turf, and their horse's hooves can't move at all, but it's better than standing in the tower and throwing stones. The Mongols only lost their king, but not their warlike bones, and the scene was a little tragic for a while. More Mongol soldiers died on their horses, unable to charge, unable to come and go freely. Xuzhou is like a rope that binds the legs of these aliens. It's like a merciless taunt: this is not the place for you to be, and it is not for you to come.

The Mongol soldiers at the West Gate died clumsily on horseback most familiarly. The whole army was killed, and there was not a single deserter, only the horses neighed weakly.

The collapse of the West City Gate allowed the surging Northern Expeditionary Army to find an outlet and pour into the city.

Nikan commanded the Qing soldiers, scattered into every street and alley, and engaged in street battles with the Northern Expeditionary Army. They are still brave, the tragic battlefield has not worn down their fighting spirit, and blood stimulates the anger in the ancient bloodline. It is undeniable that the Manchus are also a warlike people, at least in their bones.

Every street is a battlefield for both sides, no side chooses to back down, and there is a sound of slashing and killing everywhere. The people hid in their homes, huddled together, and no one dared to show their heads and look out. Some of the unlucky families had been used as camps by the Qing soldiers, and they split open the doors of their houses to loot food and water. Of course, the Qing soldiers who killed the red eyes would not forget to give the master of the family a knife.

The closed doors of the people of Xuzhou were constantly smashed and split, and the wails were endless. The Qing soldiers in the city were dragged in the streets of the city to fight, and the strength of the city tower slowly became difficult to support, and without the replenishment of the soldiers, almost all the outer cities were lost. The Qing soldiers who remained in the city tower were naturally killed.

Hou Xuanyan's eyes flashed, he pulled out his sword and said: "There is no one left on the top of the mountain, all of them will rush into the city for me, remember that anyone who resists with a knife will be killed!" ”

The Northern Expeditionary Army that remained on Yunlong Mountain all rushed down the mountain, and this mountain, which had been with them for two months, finally sent them away. They were greeted by Xuzhou City, which was full of corpses.

The moat had long been filled with corpses, and the bridge ran forward without stepping on the corpses, and more and more soldiers and horses poured into the city, and the sky gradually darkened.

The summer night came very late, and after a whole day of fighting, the bright moon was ushered in. The moonlight sprinkled in the city, shining on every warrior who raised a sword, only the moonlight did not distinguish between the Han and the Han, only the moon regardless of Qingming, and the warriors under the moonlight did not die.

After dawn, in addition to the soldiers who were cut down, many soldiers died of exhaustion on the streets. The two sides occupied the eastern and western halves of the city, and began to stop appropriately, and the soldiers in the distance greedily ate to replenish their strength. There are also many people who choke themselves to death because they overeat after a whole day of slashing.

This is a Shura battlefield, Hou Xuanyan gradually realized that he surrounded all Xuzhou, although it prevented them from fleeing north, but also inspired the fighting spirit of the Qing soldiers. The trapped beasts are still fighting, which is equivalent to helping them to come to a back-to-back battle. In the complicated alley, the two sides continued to fight like this, not knowing how long they would fight.

The Northern Expeditionary Army had never suffered such heavy casualties, and even if it was won, it could only be a miserable victory. In the morning breeze, the fog gradually thickened, and I don't know where the first shouting sounded, and the street battle began again.

In the alley where the two sides fought repeatedly, the corpses had already been paved with several layers, and Hou Xuanyan also came to the edge of the city from the top of the mountain.

Kicking away the corpse of a Qing soldier, Hou Xuanyan stepped into Xuzhou, with dead bodies everywhere and blood stains everywhere. No matter how realistic the special effects are, they can't make such a terrifying scene, with torn corpses and various organs flowing to the ground. The brains of the white flowers and the intestines of the roots, only the buzzing flies are the biggest beneficiaries.

Rao is used to seeing Hou Xuanyan in big scenes, or he still feels sour in his stomach, and he endures the nausea in his throat, and Hou Xuanyan moves forward step by step. This is the scene that the Northern Expedition should have, the bloodless Northern Expedition is a pipe dream, this road is destined to be a sea of corpses and blood, and it will be a success!
