Chapter 848: Crisis

The battle was in full swing, the screams were endless, the situation of the war could be described as tragic, Tang Ning was still a little distressed when he looked at this scene, the people who were killed by arrows one by one and fell from the ladder were all his people.

However, Lin Xiangnan's face was unwavering, as if he had become numb to the tragic battlefield.

However, Downing was soon shocked, for he found that several soldiers on the ladder were struggling to climb the city wall.

Not only was Tang Ning's heart shocked, but the soldiers around him noticed it, and many soldiers began to make noise, and even the war drums were even louder.

"Climb the walls!"

"Climb the walls!"

Tang Ning's heart was excited, Lin Xiangnan, who had been unwavering, also showed a hint of excitement on his face, and the generals of the Chinese army shouted even louder, and the soldiers who attacked the city also worked harder.

Not only the soldiers under the city wall shook, but the defenders on the city wall also shook, and there were enemy troops attacking the city wall!

The soldiers who attacked the city wall fought desperately to defend the ladder, and two more people climbed the wall behind him, and they tried to support it with their backs to the ladder, so that more soldiers could attack it.

A general arrived with hundreds of people and shouted, "Kill! Kill them! ”

With these hundreds of people coming to help, the soldiers who attacked the city wall were quickly killed! The walls to the north were once again held.

Tang Ning looked at the city wall from afar, and saw that the soldiers who climbed the city wall were killed, and he felt very sorry in his heart.

However, he also understood that it was unrealistic to think that he would break through the walls all at once. Although the city wall could not be captured this time, it was successfully attacked, which was a great encouragement to the officers and men of the whole army, and a great blow to the morale of the enemy.

More importantly, this shows that the enemy army is already at the end of its strength, Lin Xiangnan said with a smile: "The emperor's plan has taken effect, the enemy army is very tired now, and the defense is not as good as before!" Maybe next time, we can break the city! ”

In the following battle, the city walls were attacked twice, but both were quickly broken by the defenders on the walls, and the defenses were consolidated again.

Not only the northern wall, but also the armies that attacked the other walls, but also failed to capture the walls.

Even so, the soldiers were very excited, because it showed that the enemy army was at the end of their crossbows, and they might be able to break through the walls next time.

It's only a matter of time before the city is breached!

The sun had sunk in the west, Tang Ning glanced at the sky, and it was impossible to break through Liuzhou City today. Although it is possible to break Liuzhou City at any time, it may not be able to break Liuzhou City for a few days.

Tang Ning thought about it and muttered: "Today we almost broke through Liuzhou City, Wei Qingfeng and they must be greatly shocked, we are here to harass tonight, they may not be able to pay attention!" ”

Lin Xiangnan said: "What the emperor said is, but Wei Qingfeng doesn't dare to really ignore it completely, it will still work." ”

A thought suddenly flashed in Tang Ning's heart, and he pondered: "We only let the cavalry drag the branches to harass us in the past two nights, and we haven't really attacked the city. ”

"Now the enemy army defending the city is already at the end of the crossbow, and the city wall is almost lost, so Wei Qingfeng will definitely let the army rest and recuperate, let's take the opportunity to attack the city at night!"

General Lin was shocked when he heard this, nodded and said: "Emperor Shengming, it is indeed worth a try, in the first half of tonight, there will be movement and harassment as usual, and in the second half of the night, it will be possible to attack Liuzhou City in one fell swoop!" ”

"Even if you can't break through Liuzhou City, it will be a great deterrent to the defenders in the city, they won't dare to rest, and it won't take long to drag them down!"

Tang Ning said excitedly: "Okay, then Mingjin will withdraw the troops!" Let the soldiers rest well, and the army will attack the city in the second half of the night! ”

Mingjin has withdrawn his troops! The soldiers who heard it were all surprised, why did they withdraw from the army? Maybe Liuzhou will be broken in the next moment!

However, since this was the emperor's order, although they had doubts, these generals immediately gave the order to withdraw their troops, and the army receded like a tide.

When the defenders on the city wall saw that the enemy army had suddenly retreated, they felt a sense of relief in their hearts, and they felt that they had survived again, and some of the soldiers sat down directly on the root of the city wall.

The generals on patrol saw these soldiers sitting on the ground and wanted to reprimand them, but the words of reprimand were not spoken.

I'm so tired! It's so exhausting! However, he could not rest well at night, thinking that the enemy army was still insidiously harassing.

The enemy only needs to send a small number of soldiers and horses to harass, but the soldiers in their city can't rest well, the generals curse in a low voice, looking at the gradually retreating army outside the city but a little confused, can they really hold on?

Wei Qingfeng walked down the city wall a little tired, his face was still resolute, he was the commander of the army, if he had a pessimistic and tired look on his face, wouldn't the soldiers who saw him have even less confidence in their hearts?

But he is really tired, the enemy troops outside the city are constantly harassing at night, and it is even more impossible for the commander of his army to rest, even if he is a Jiupin master, he is not an iron man.

It was only after returning to the prefect's yamen that Wei Qingfeng's face showed a somewhat tired look, and Divine Officer Zhao's face was also not good-looking.

Today, the enemy army attacked the city wall three times, and Divine Officer Zhao's heart was raised, if it weren't for the enemy soldiers who attacked and were quickly extinguished, he would have taken the priest into battle in person.

Divine Officer Zhao rubbed his brows and said in a deep voice: "Wei Shuai, if the enemy army continues to harass like this at night, the soldiers really can't support it!" Can you send someone out to kill the harassing soldiers, or send someone to harass the enemy camp? ”

Wei Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "The soldiers sent out won't be able to come back!" ”

Inspector Zhao stroked his forehead and sighed when he heard it, once or twice is okay, now the army in the city is already a little stretched, this is not a long-term solution!

Divine Officer Zhao muttered: "The enemy army is just harassing, let the soldiers guarding the city be more vigilant tonight, and let the rest of the soldiers rest for a night, otherwise, I'm really afraid that the soldiers won't be able to hold it tomorrow." ”

Wei Qingfeng nodded slowly, and Divine Officer Zhao said with a high spirit: "It's not that there is no good news at all, just now the flying pigeon from Orange Mountain passed the book." ”

"The enemy army has been unable to attack for a long time, and the soldiers have suffered a lot of losses, so the DPRK plans to send Princess Linglong to sue for peace, and it is estimated that Princess Linglong will be able to arrive at the military camp of the Great Zhou Dynasty tonight."

Wei Qingfeng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, asking for peace? At the beginning, the imperial court once sent people to the capital of the Great Zhou to sue for peace, but the Great Zhou still raised troops and went south.

Does summing work now? Wei Qingfeng immediately thought that the candidate for peace turned out to be Princess Linglong, although he had been guarding Qin Town and had never returned to the capital, but he had also heard of Princess Linglong's good name.
