Mocheng is the focus of contention between the two armies of Cai and Yan, and the north gate of Mocheng is regarded by the Yan army as the focus of Cai Jun's defense.

Therefore, in order to block the Yan cavalry from going south, Cai Jun carried out an impermeable defense at the north gate.

However, the North Gate was blazing, even though Cai Junjun was prepared first, when the fire burned, he wanted to take the opportunity to extinguish the raging fire, but all his actions had little effect.

Li Anheng sent the defenders to make several attempts, but they were forced back by the heat wave generated by the raging flames.

"Damn!" Li Anheng waved his short sword, beat his chest and scolded angrily!

Unable to extinguish the flames at the north gate and beware of the Yan army's rapid attack, Li Anheng could only order the army to quickly set up a bed crossbow in the corridor of the city wall, hoping to use the bed crossbow to shoot a dense number of spears to block the cavalry that was moving slowly not far away and was ready to rush into the city after the north gate was burned.

Below the head of the city, Hou Mingfeng and Zhang Yansong led 10,000 iron horses, away from the north gate, waiting to see what happened, at present, all he had to do was wait.

At this moment, under the north gate, the piled firewood was mixed with fire oil and burned, setting off a raging flame, and a fire two or three zhang high was raised.

Hou Mingfeng's resolute face was filled with a little smile, the fire spread, burning the north gate, the Yan army did not need to spend effort, with the siege vehicle impact, it would be easy to break through the north gate and enter the ink city!

At the head of the city, Li Anheng continued to dispatch troops, and hurriedly summoned the defenders from all sides to quickly gather towards the north gate, striving to quickly form a defense at the north gate and repel the Yan army that was about to attack the city!

However, the east and west gates encountered an accident, and a large number of defenders at the north gate were all transferred away by the main general and the east gate guards, making the defense of the north gate gradually relaxed!

The fire was strong, and in the city, Li Anheng was forced to retreat again and again by the fierce flames, and in the night wind, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help but feel sad!

The Yan army was cunning, relying on the superiority of troops, deliberately attacked the east and west, attacked the east and west gates, attracted the defenders of the north gate, and destroyed the defense of the north gate.

Now, the Yan army is attacking the north gate non-stop, and the north gate is empty, which happens to give the Yan army an opportunity to take advantage of.

The flames that could not be broken became more and more intense, the firewood under the city gate made a crackling sound, and the thick city gate made of solid wood burned rapidly in the flames. A huge wooden door, encased in thick flames.

Like a tall giant, burning in flames, in the flames, it collapses with a bang at all times!

Fortunately, in Li Anheng's strong order, Cai Jun quickly set up a bed crossbow, and installed a spear in each bed crossbow.

If there is any disturbance in the Yan army, Cai Jun will shoot mercilessly, and will never make the Yan army get half a step closer to the city wall!

In the autumn wind, Hou Mingfeng's expression was cold, tied to the black cloak on his body, in the autumn wind, hunting sounded, however, Hou Mingfeng was still unmoved, a pair of cold eyes, always staring at the burning north gate.

Cold eyes swept over Cai Jun at the head of the city, and a smile gradually rose on the corner of his mouth, time is not waiting, it is time to attack.

Hou Mingfeng raised the ring head knife and shouted coldly: "The striker attacked, and quickly hit the north gate!" ”

The fire at the north gate burned long enough, but it never collapsed, and Hou Mingfeng planned to increase his efforts and use the siege vehicle to crash and quickly destroy the north gate.

The forward siege army, only a 200-strong army, was specifically responsible for the capture of the north gate.

"Brothers, push the siege engine!" The young striker, rolled up his sleeves, removed the repeater from his back, almost roared, and shouted to the two hundred striker daring warriors next to him!

"Kill, kill! Kill! ”

Hearing the sound, suddenly two hundred Yan troops appeared near the left side of the siege vehicle, raising their ring-headed knives and roaring loudly!

100 people shot, launched two siege vehicles, and 100 people around them, holding crossbows, constituted a strong defense.

In the blink of an eye, two hundred people moved quickly, and two behemoth-like siege vehicles were quickly launched!

In the concerted efforts of the hundred Yan troops, they moved forward quickly in the North Gate Plain.

The two hundred Yan army charges and needs to go through a life-and-death crisis, and they must pass through the rain of guns fired from the dense bed crossbows at the head of the city, break through the defense of the Cai army, and have a chance to reach the bottom of the city wall smoothly.

In the rear of this daring Yan army, Hou Mingfeng and Zhang Yansong, with 10,000 Yan riders around them, riding on horseback, arrived at the north gate, they drew out their ring head knives early, and filled their crossbows with short arrows, witnessing the attack of the vanguard army, and they were also ready for battle.

At this time, Zhang Yansong rode his horse and slowly approached Hou Mingfeng, with a worried face, and said: "General, the north gate is heavily defended, with two hundred daring Yan troops, it is very difficult to easily capture the north gate!" ”

"If you don't gamble, who knows what the consequences are!" Hou Mingfeng's tone is resolute, irrefutable, and unquestionable.

At the head of the north gate, Li Anheng used the light of the torches at the head of the city to vaguely witness that among the Yan army, there were troops attacking quickly, pushing two siege vehicles, and they quickly came in the direction of the north gate.

Suddenly, the heart was panicked, the north gate was on fire, the Cai army was in a very dangerous situation, and at present, there was a Yan army pushing the siege vehicle to attack, and its purpose was self-evident.

If the north gate is broken, Cai Jun will die without a place to be buried.

Li Anheng ignored the fire at the north gate, and hurriedly ordered the defenders at the head of the city, controlled the bed crossbow, and fired spears.

The Yan army pushed the siege vehicle, and the speed of progress was very fast, and when life and death were at stake, Cai Jun at the head of the city dared to take it lightly.

Hurriedly controlled the bed crossbow erected at the head of the city, put on the spear, and shot it all at the advancing Yan army.

Hundreds of death-daring Yan soldiers, braving the forest of guns, rushed forward, constantly roaring, pushing two siege vehicles forward. ‘

The remaining hundred Yan cavalry, faster, risking death to move forward, there are fifty or sixty-four people, arrived at the city in advance, with the help of crossbows to form an arrow array, suppress the city wall Cai army, and slow down the pressure of the follow-up army.

The Yan army pushing the siege vehicles, in order to avoid the shooting of the Cai army at the head of the city, mostly hid behind the siege vehicles.

The flanking Yan army also moved forward cautiously.

At the head of the city, a lever spear shot out of the bed crossbow, making a buzzing sound.

The spear from the string, densely packed like a meteorite falling from the sky, thundered, and moved forward in the direction of the two siege vehicles!

Boom!

Click!

Boom!

Yes!

.......

Spears fell from the sky and hit the siege engine with a loud sound!

On the flanks of the siege vehicles, from time to time, Yan troops were hit by spears, letting out desolate screams, and died tragically in pools of blood.

There was also a Yan army, and the spear was shot strongly, and the spear was nailed to the flank of the siege vehicle on the spot.

Two hundred Yan troops who dared to die rushed forward, and after breaking into the range of Cai Jun's bed crossbow, the situation became extremely bad, and the unpreventable life and death killings hit the Yan army hard at all times.

However, after all, Yan Jun is a veteran of a hundred battles and has personally experienced countless battles.

Today, participating in the death squad, putting life and death on the line, no matter how big the casualties of the Yan army were, they still risked their lives to move forward, and the dense spears shot down, they still couldn't stop the Yan army's progress.

There were only a few dozen Yan soldiers left, pushing the siege engine, and the roar came out of their mouths, and the speed of advance gradually slowed down in the dense spear fire.

When the forward army was still two hundred paces away from the city wall, the Yan troops on the flanks of the siege vehicles were all shot by spears.

Despite the rapid replenishment of the death squad warriors, the flank Yan army still suffered very heavy casualties in the locust-like spear shooting.

Yan Jun wants to break through two hundred steps ahead, and there is a feeling that it is difficult to move an inch!

Hou Mingfeng witnessed the tragic death of dozens of Yan soldiers, his expression changed slightly, and he still waited patiently for the Yan army to move forward.

At this time, Zhang Yansong, who was beside him, couldn't help but be a little worried, and couldn't help but turn his head to Hou Mingfeng and said: "General, Cai Jun's guns are too fierce, and the Yan army is pushing the siege vehicles and moving forward in the gun forest, like a snail climbing hard in a storm, the speed is slow, and it may be shot by Cai Jun at any time!" ”

Zhang Yansong guessed that it was not surprising that in the strong offensive of the Cai army, the speed of the Yan army would gradually become slow, and after the Yan army in front was all shot by the rain of guns, the siege vehicles would be completely stopped!

Hou Mingfeng nodded, very much agreed with Zhang Yansong's worries, and said: "No matter what the outcome is, send someone to inform Fan Changming and Hou Yan Xu to speed up the offensive at the east and west gates, forcing Wang Hongyan to mobilize the defenders of the north gate to leave." ”

Before the siege, Hou Mingfeng expected that the defense of the north gate was very strong, but when he came to the north gate, Cai's defense was still beyond expectations.

Fortunately, the battle between the east and west gates broke out, and the defenders of the north gate were constantly mobilized to the east and west gates, and a large number of defensive equipment was evacuated!

At present, the Yan army wants to attack the city, and the difficulty is still very great!

If there is no way to quickly break through the Cai army's gun forest, you can only wait for the flames of the city gate to burn

Fortunately, at the east and west gates, good news came again and again, and at present, the army led by Fan Changming and Hou Yan Xu forcibly attacked the city wall.

If there is no accident, a steady stream of Yan troops will climb to the top of the city, and the two city gates in the east and west will be in more and more danger!

As a defender, Wang Hongyan will have to mobilize troops to assist in the defense of the east and west gates!

The battle between the east and west gates exceeded Hou Mingfeng's expectations, and the three attack points, the north gate was regarded by him as the core of the attack.

However, at the east and west city gates, if the Yan army achieves a great victory and captures Mocheng, it is just around the corner.

However, even if the situation in the east and west city gates is very good, Hou Mingfeng still does not dare to delay, the emperor's order is like a mountain, within five days, he must lead the army to capture Mocheng!

Watching the siege vehicles in front of the Yan army on all sides, constantly falling in a pool of blood, Hou Mingfeng raised his ring head knife and shouted: "Zhang Yansong, quickly arrange three thousand cavalry, shoot the Cai army at the head of the city along the city wall in a roundabout way, and ensure that the siege vehicle moves forward quickly." ”

The Yan army's front attack is too difficult, and it will cause endless casualties, even if the Yan army finally forcibly breaks through Mocheng, the casualties will become very large!

As the chief general of the siege force, Hou Mingfeng must spend the least cost and capture Mocheng as soon as possible. In short, he had to keep the casualties within a certain range.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Yansong quickly told the guards around him to send a message to Fan Changming and Yan Xu, who were at the east and west gates, and told the two to step up the western offensive!

In addition, he ordered the generals under his tent to lead 3,000 iron cavalry, leave the main army, divide into two waves, east and west, quickly disperse from the direction of the army, and kill towards Mocheng.

Soon, the two Yan armies, like two mighty torrents, quickly dispersed, deep and roundabout, and quickly went to the city walls on the east and west sides of the north gate!

The iron cavalry avoided a small number of guns on the east and west sides, and quickly reached the bottom of the city wall by virtue of its mobility advantage, and mercilessly pulled the crossbow to suppress the Cai army on the city wall, thereby reducing the pressure on the Yan army moving the siege vehicles forward.
