21. Break the door
Yan Xing waved his hand to command the siege of the city, and Gan Ling, who followed behind to cover the ram, and several archers also began to exert their might, they were all selected archers with superb archery, and after entering the firing range, they also began to draw their bows and arrows and began to shoot at the guards of the dock fort on the wall.

Especially Gan Ling himself, with a single hand of arrows, one person and one bow simply pressed the guards of the dock fort on the high wall in front of him so that they couldn't raise their heads.
Basically, as soon as a figure appeared on that part of the wall, the next moment a deadly feathered arrow flew over, engulfing the figure in the night.
With the attention and cover of the shield bearers and archers in front, the ten-man squad carrying the battering hammer behind them took heavy steps, shortened the distance step by step, and finally approached the gate of the dock fort.
"Quick! Fast! ā
Yan Xing took the shield hand to the front guard and began to hit the ram team at the gate of the dock fort, in the "bang bang" sound, the speed of the rockfall on the gatehouse also instantly increased a lot, from time to time there were shield players and ram team people were hit, but soon someone behind made up for it.
Both the offensive and defensive sides are racing against time, and everyone present knows that the gain or loss of the gate of the dock fort tonight is related to the safety of the entire dock fort. Therefore, the guards on the gatehouse no longer cared about the danger of being shot by enemy archers, and leaned out directly to throw stones in front of the door. And the people of Yan Xing under the wall also endured the bloody casualties of being hit by falling rocks, and simultaneously shouted the trumpet and slammed the hammer into the gate.
"One, two, three, bump! One, two, three, hit! ā
Under the light of the torches falling from the wall, Yan Xing's face at this time did not have the calmness of the past, his face was full of hideousness, he hissed and shouted the trumpet, and used the long card to protect himself and the people around him.
Yan Xing was a little worried, their ram was only one, if it was ignited by the other party with grease, firewood and grass, not to mention the dead and injured at the door, tonight's attack would be forced to end, and Ma Lin and others who went around to the back of the dock fort to set fire to attract the guards, if the front attack failed, then once they were struggling to support and disperse the guards' ideas in the back, once they had no time to retreat, it was very likely that they would fall into a situation of total annihilation.
The soldiers are fast and the good generals can make the wise not as good as the wise, the brave as angry, and the enemy as well!
What Yan Xing's side lacks most now is time!
Suddenly, there was a sudden fall on the high wall, and Yan Xing's nerves, which had been tense, instantly tensed, and when he looked up, the pupils of his eyes instantly dilated to the extreme.
Damn it! He saw that the guards on the gatehouse had already lifted bunches of lit firewood.
"Don't panic, keep bumping, one, two, three, bump!"
In Yan Xing's hissing and shouting, bunches of firewood and grass with flames fell like fiery phoenixes. Immediately behind Yan Xing, a soldier rushed up, risking his life to move away the lit firewood, under the raging fire, the soldiers who were close to him just removed the firewood a little, and the clothes and hair on their bodies were quickly ignited, and they could only jump to the side, and they rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames, and the arrows and stones on the wall fell on them immediately, and the dying soldiers let out a terrible wail.
"Click-" At this critical moment, a dull sound of broken wood finally sounded.
Under the continuous and repeated impact of gravity, the heavy latch behind the gate of the dock fort was finally overwhelmed and broke directly.
"The gate is broken, two or three sons, rush!"
Yan Xing raised his head to the sky and roared like a tiger, and his hammer team continued to work hard, and soon smashed into the sandbag array that had not yet accumulated behind the door, and the gate of the dock fort was finally completely smashed open in a series of squeaks, revealing the interior of the dock fort that had already lit up the lights in the dark night.
The people of the hammer team hurriedly withdrew from the hammer backwards, while Yan Xing, who was behind him, held a long card in one hand and a spear in the other, and rushed in the first place amid the angry cries of everyone.
"The gate is broken, kill!"
The soldiers behind Yan Xing shouted loudly, they were like tigers out of the cage at this time, their morale was high, they turned a blind eye to the fire that had just been ignited at the gate, and followed Yan Xing to rush into the gate first.
Yan Xing was the first to rush through the gate, raising his spear to kill the two slaves who were carrying sandbags and had no time to retreat, but he did not continue to charge inside the dock fort, but stopped in the corridor inside the gate, he held a long card to protect his upper body, blocked the attacking arrows, stepped forward to occupy the key point of the gate first, and his eyes shining in the dark night quickly swept the interior of the dock fort.
The shouting outside of the dock fort has already alarmed everyone inside the dock fort, as far as the eye can see, whether it is a tiled house or a thatched house, lights and candles have been lit, and the clansmen, tenants, and tribes who live in the dock fort have been mobilized, some are carrying sandbags and stones, some are running to command, some have just picked up weapons and farm tools and rushed out of the house, and some have gathered into a loose squad to hold the troops.
"Ah Ling, you lead people to occupy the wall and gatehouse first, and the others will line up with me!"
Yan Xing immediately issued an order according to the garrison inside the dock fort, the owner of this dock fort is obviously not a fat wine bag and rice bag, looking at the reaction speed of these dock fort troops and servants, the preparation and practice battle in the dock fort on weekdays has not fallen.
But now that the gate of the dock fort has been breached, the dock fort troops and servants who have reacted and mobilized have no advantage of occupying the geographical advantage and rejecting the enemy outside the high walls.
Although they still have a numerical advantage, they are facing Yan Xing, who have fought out of thousands of troops, as long as Yan Xing grasps the momentum that has skyrocketed after his side breaks through the gate, and crushes the temporary resistance in the dock fort in one go, and does not let the other party have the opportunity to react and mobilize all the manpower, then he will soon be able to wipe out the people in the dock fort who are caught off guard in one fell swoop.
After Gan Ling received Yan Xing's order from behind, he immediately led ten "Liukou" up the stairs along the inner side of the high wall, rushed to the top of the wall and fought with the guards on the high wall. Ganling melee changed a ring-headed knife, he shouted, hit it directly, and split a guard who had no time to react off the high wall, and the "rogues" behind him were also extremely fierce, like a tiger into the flock of sheep into the guards, like chopping melons and vegetables, setting off a rain of blood, killing the wall guards who failed to defend and had weakened their momentum retreated, and swept away most of the guards on the wall at once, and steadily occupied the key point of the high-walled gatehouse.
In order to resist the attacks of Qianghu and Liukou, they also practice war archery on weekdays, and now they see their own sons and subordinates on the high wall being killed by others, and some of them are already angry and angry.
The gate has been lost in front of them, and if even the high walls are lost, and these rogues in turn condescend to shoot their own men with bows and arrows, then the entire dock fort will be in danger.
The first bold and sturdy man rushed to the crown angrily, raised his sword in his hand, looked back at the people behind him, and shouted:
"Defend your homeland, kill thieves with me, rush!"
