2. The sound of killing, screaming, soldiering, the sound of the voice.

Zhao Hongru stood at the head of the city with a knife, and couldn't help but worry when he saw the scene under the city wall.

It is rare that the Yan army has fallen to the upper hand, and this group of Wu Yue troops who are eager for revenge are like a surging flood in the river trough, flowing mightily, roaring, and unstoppable.

In the process of moving forward, there was a burst of killing sound from the other party's mouth, and two steps turned into three steps, eager to rely on his wings and fly to the head of the Southern Regions City.

Even if Zhao Hongru is a veteran of a hundred battles and has great achievements, he can't help but be afraid in the face of the murderous coalition army.

The breath can't be calmed, holding the ring knife, wandering in the aisle, like ants in a hot pot, the chest is stuffy.

When he was young, Zhao Hongru witnessed the preparation of the Yan army around him, and learned that his actions were out of shape, his teeth were biting the tip of his tongue, and he was in pain, which made him dispel the panic in his heart.

Secretly warned himself that as the commander of the three armies, when he encountered danger, he must not be alarmed and calm and calm.

Looking at the coalition forces approaching in the distance, looking at the Yan army who died in the civil war in the corridor, Zhao Hongru clenched his fists tightly. Smash on the wall.

War, at this time, the only way to fight hard, not to hit the coalition army hard, but also to ensure that the southern region city is unhindered, with the city wall, to consume the coalition army's vital strength.

At this time, the Yan army, with the help of fire oil, burned siege vehicles, barely repelled the Song army, without a little respite, and had to face the hurried Wu Yue army.

As the boss, Zhao Hongru was very entangled and hated the siege coalition to the core.

This group of people broke his and Zhao Jun's plan to lead the troops eastward and forced the Yan army to retreat into the city of the Southern Regions.

Zhao Hongru bit hard, with a ring knife in his hand, pointed to the ground and hurriedly moved forward to the coalition army, and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Soldiers, Wu Yue's army, want to take the opportunity to attack the city, to kill us, do we defend, do we strike hard?"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Leave no mouth, no mouth."

The Song army stormed, the Yan army suffered a lot of casualties, but the morale was still there, hearing the sound, the Yan army soldiers, waving the ring knife in their hands, the crossbow, shouted loudly in the city wall, there was no fear, on the contrary, the momentum was like a rainbow, to the Wuyue coalition army, Hengzhi into the bone.

Zhao Hongru struck while the iron was hot and ordered: "Prepare for a full battle, shoot crossbows, roll wood and stones, don't let Wu and Yue's armies get close to within ten steps of the city wall!"

"Yes!"

"Fight with all arms, shoot crossbows, roll wood and stones, don't let the two armies of Wu and Yue get within ten steps of the city wall!"

The generals of the Yan army, to the defenders on all sides, conveyed military orders.

For a while, the Yan army on the city wall, looking for cover, protecting itself, filled the crossbow with broken arrows, gathered rolling wood and stones, boiling water, and still fought in the face of a bad situation.

In the aisle, the flames spread, and the anger in Yan Jun's heart was also spreading!

Next to him, Zhao Jun led the troops and personally repelled the Song army, he did not stop, and immediately asked the Yan army around him to quickly fill the bed crossbow and attack the Song army's catapult and bed crossbow under the city.

These two types of ordnance pose too much threat to the Yan army within the city wall, and if they are not destroyed quickly, they will definitely pose a great threat to the Yan army.

It will even become a weapon to break the city, and sooner or later destroy the Southern Regions City!

Spears flew out of the city walls and stabbed into the advancing coalition forces.

The overall formation of the coalition forces was disrupted, but, hurrying forward, the roaring coalition forces, there were quick gatherings, forming a neat formation. The momentum is unabated.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun's face was panicked, and he hurriedly came to Zhao Hongru, and said: "General Zhao, the Wu-Yue coalition army, the momentum is not weak, if it goes on like this, our army will hold the city of the Southern Regions, and the casualties will be very large, if there is no reinforcement to assist, I am afraid that I will escape from the encirclement of the three armies of Wu, Yue and Song, and transfer to the north."

"Tell the guards to give the final distress signal, and within an hour, if there are still no reinforcements arriving, the whole army will begin to move in an orderly manner." Zhao Hongru instructed to make plans to abandon the city.

Recently, every time he defended the city, he didn't want to give up the city, and hoped to have reinforcements to help, but every time the guards signaled, reinforcements arrived, resulting in serious casualties among the defenders.

After repeated defeats and retreats, the number of Yan troops is still decreasing sharply.

Today, the three armies of Wu Yue and Song, the more rapid the offensive, and even the idea of besieging the Southern Regions City, in order to keep the 80,000 elite cavalry, he had to give up the Southern Regions City, and take the Yan army to travel a long distance to transfer.

When Zhao Jun heard this, he hurriedly summoned the guards and released the signal.

Soon, there was a sharp and piercing sound in the air, which startled the birds in the city to stir their wings and flee into the air.

Under the city, Song Qi sat on a war horse. Half-squinting eyes, at first, grasping the reins of the horse, always ready to charge, in the Song army siege was blocked, he has quietly grabbed the hilt of the knife, now, the siege vehicle was burned, the Song army suffered a lot of casualties, lucky survivors, embarrassed to flee. Song Qi had already pulled out his war knife violently, held it in his hand, and made a charging gesture.

Next to him, Wang Zhengwen and Mu Junchen also paid attention to the movement of the Yan army in the city wall, and witnessed the advance of the two armies of Wu and Yue, the Yan army took the lead on the city wall, and shot a rain of arrows from the crossbow, circling the head of the coalition army towards the swarm of bees, threatening the life of the coalition army at all times.

In the process, many coalition forces were attacked by a rain of arrows, and the sharp arrows pierced through the iron armor, leaving wounds on their bodies, blood flowing, and the arrows fell to the ground.

Wu Yue's army, moving left and right, unabated, Mu Junchen, Wang Zhengwen, are still secretly angry.

In addition, the Yan army in the city sent out a distress signal, which made Wang Zhengwen and Mu Junchen more annoyed, killed Wu Yue's second army, and had to flee to lose Zhao Hongru, Zhao Jungang thought.

Wang Zhengwen turned his head to look at Song Qi and said, "Lord Song, the Yan army is not bad-willed, it is in a weak position, and it is still defending the Southern Regions City, today, we must not let the Yan army escape."

"Zhao Hongru, Zhao Junnai is at the end of the crossbow, if the coalition forces attack, in order to ensure the safety of the Yan army, they will definitely continue to retreat and go to the west." When Song Qi was silent for a while, he said loudly: "Therefore, when the Yan army is inexhaustible, it is necessary to send generals to the west gate to block the escape road of the Yan army, so that it is possible to completely annihilate the Yan army!" However, Mu Junchen next to him didn't look at it like this, and asked rhetorically: "Song Wangye, General Wang, Zhao Hongru, and Zhao Jun are not good people, they have long-term strategic vision, and military strategy, the Yan army was defeated, isn't it possible to go to the south to join the Yan State Naval Division, or go to the north and join Hou Mingfeng?"

Retreating to the west, it is very likely to introduce the flames of war into the Yan Kingdom, Mu Junchen believes that with Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun's strategy, he will definitely not take the initiative to lead the wolf into the room.

"General Mu, Nanyu City is far away from Jianghai City in the south, Zhao Hongru, Zhao Jun led the troops to Jianghai City, a long journey, it is easy to form a tired army, if you want to come to Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun, you will not risk the life of the Yan army." Song Qi cut the railway, the division of the defeated army, turned to fight thousands of miles, it was easy to encounter the Song army chasing and intercepting along the way, Zhao Hongru dared to lead the Yan army to transfer, it would be to bring the Yan army to a dead end.

Without hesitation, Song Qi continued: "Hou Mingfeng is in Yuezhou, and General Meng Kuo has fought fiercely many times, and there are casualties on both sides, if Zhao Hongru leads his troops north and joins Hou Mingfeng, we will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and we will be near Yuezhou, in the encirclement of the two Yan armies, their situation will be worse. Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun are both smart people, and I believe that they will not take risks."

"Lord Song, don't despise Zhao Hongru, Zhao Jun, this general thinks that there must be an ambush at the north gate, so as not to prevent Zhao Hongru, Zhao Jun, and lead the troops to evacuate from the north gate." Mu Junchen's words are persistent, he believes in his own judgment.

At this time, Wang Zhengwen couldn't help but look contemptuous, and said calmly: "Lord Song, General Mu, the Yan army repelled the Song army, and posed a threat to the Wu Yue army, now, there has never been an army attacking the southern region city, is it too early to talk about the withdrawal of the Yan army?"

He also hoped to break through the Southern Regions City as soon as possible, slaughter the Yan army in the city, and avenge the blood and the sea of revenge, but the defense of the Yan army in the city was not weak, and the siege vehicles of the Song army were burned.

Today, whether Wu Yue and Song can conquer the Southern Regions City, and how much it will cost to break the city, it is still difficult to predict, Song Qi and Mu Junchen discussed the ambush, too anxious.

Song Qi and Mu Junchen were also full of contempt for Wang Zhengwen, the Yan army was fighting in the city, if the three armies of Wu Yue and Song attacked fiercely, the Yan army could not hold out for long, so it was necessary to make arrangements as soon as possible to prevent the Yan army from escaping.

Song Qi immediately made a decision, waved his sword, and ordered the guards around him, saying: "Order, catapult, bed crossbow, continue to storm the Yan army in the Southern Regions City, today, even if the Southern Regions City is filled, you can't let go of any Yan army."

Many times with the Yan army hard fighting, many defeats, years ago, with Emperor Yan outside Kaifeng hard fighting, when the situation was good, he was still forced by Emperor Yan to reverse the situation, himself was severely injured by Cao Aman, almost died on the battlefield.

Today, the Yan army is in danger again, he not only wants to lead the army to capture the Southern Regions City, but also takes Zhao Hongru and Zhao Jun's head to sacrifice the flag.

The guards did not hesitate and waved their flags to the Song army next to them.

The pennant fluttered, and the Song army received the military order to move again, filling the catapult with boulders, pouring fire oil, and placing spears in bed crossbows. It seems that he intends to implement Song Qi's suggestion to fill in the Southern Regions City.

At this moment, under the city wall, the three armies of Wu, Yue and Song followed the ladder, grabbed the shield and the sword, and risked death to move forward.

From time to time, there are rolling logs and rocks falling around, hitting the coalition forces that are flying and climbing, not pouring fire oil, waiting for the Yan army to drop the torches, the fire spreads, and the coalition troops are on fire, screaming and jumping off the ladder and rolling on the ground.

On the city wall, the Yan army shot crossbows, rolled stones to the ground, spears stabbed, and occasionally overturned the ladder, so that the coalition troops above the ladder were all thrown to the ground.

The two sides are deadlocked, each side has casualties, and no one can get the slightest benefit.

At this moment, there was a whirring sound in the air, and the ignited fire oil was filled, emitting thick smoke, flying in the air, and huge stones were mixed in it, all of which rushed towards the Southern Regions City.

In the fierce battle, the Yan army was defenseless.

The fire oil poured down, igniting a raging fire, and the Yan army in the aisle was caught in the fire, and the Yan army was in great pain, and jumped down the city suddenly, and soon was hacked to death by the coalition army.

When the boulder falls, the Yan army is in a worse situation, and will unfortunately be killed on the spot by the boulder, and the battlements of the city wall will occasionally be destroyed, and the defense of the southern region city will gradually collapse.

Song Qi witnessed catapults and bed crossbows, which posed a great threat to the Yan army, forcing the Yan army to give up resistance; Backed back again and again.

The besieging army, with all their might, climbed quickly and headed for the city wall.

couldn't help but be elated, and ordered the guards: "The Yan army's defense is limited, no matter how fast, no matter how fast, step up the offensive!"

It is rare to save the tide of the war, Song Qi is full of confidence, hoping that the coalition army will reach the city as soon as possible, and at that time, the Song army will easily recapture the Southern Regions City.

The guards waved the flag, and next to it, the drummers beat the drums, and there were also Song troops, blowing horns.

It's the sound of an attack. This is the sound of the charge, the coalition forces on the ladder, speed up the climbing, and the Song army in the rear also speed up the attack.

Inside the city wall, the Yan army's bed crossbows were wrapped in fire oil, igniting a fierce fire, and the Yan army's attack weapons were seriously damaged.

The boulder was also destroying the city wall, threatening the Yan army, and in addition, the rear forward coalition army began to shoot with crossbows and longbows, forcing the Yan army to retreat.

Within the city walls, corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed.

Many veterans of a hundred battles began to look frightened when they were attacked by a deadly attack.

At this time, Zhao Jun hurriedly came to Zhao Hongru with a knife and said: "General Zhao, the coalition army is attacking too fiercely, and I am afraid that this city will not be able to hold it, I suggest that we quickly transfer the wounded to the north gate to prevent the coalition army from breaking the city, and we don't even have a chance to escape."

Zhao Jun didn't want to abandon the city and flee, but the casualties of the Yan army were too serious, if he didn't evacuate, the elite of the 80,000 Yan army, there must be many people killed in the city.

Once the coalition forces storm into the city, the opponent's 300,000 troops are very likely to pose a deadly threat.

At this moment, dozens of miles away from the Southern Regions City, Bai Yisheng and Li Lin led the dog and wolf legions, and they were hurrying over.

Recently, he received an order from the emperor, who did not know why he suddenly gave up the territory south of the Yangtze River, and asked them to lead the army back to the north in a hurry with Zhang Yu.

When he went to the Yangtze River, he met Feng Shihu and learned about the situation in the north, only to know that under the attack of the Wu-Yue-Song coalition army, the Yan State was in a precarious situation in the north.

After crossing the river, the two led the canine wolf army non-stop, and went to the southern frontier of the Song State under the starry night.

Along the way, spies were continuously sent to find out the location of Zhao Hongru's army, and when they learned that Zhao Hongru led his troops to fight hard with the Wu-Yue-Song coalition army in Huocheng, they did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly went.

During the rapid journey, a guard came forward and said, "General Bai, General Li, there is a distress signal from the direction of Nanyu City!"

"Southern Regions City, how is it possible?" Li Lin exclaimed, a little disbelieving. Two days ago, they received news that Zhao Hongru's army was still in Huocheng, it was only two days, how could the Yan army transfer the Southern Regions City, could it be said that Huocheng was broken by the coalition army.

Next to him, Bai Yisheng was also full of surprise, and he was puzzled: "How far is Southern Regions City from here?"

Zhao Hongru was in a dangerous situation in the southern Xinjiang of the Song Kingdom, and it was not impossible for him to be captured by the three armies of Wu Yue and Song to capture Huocheng and flee to Nanyu City.

When the spies heard the sound, they quickly opened the map and spread it on the ground, Bai Yisheng and Li Lin quickly surrounded them and observed them in detail.

Soon, the spy pointed his finger in the direction of Southern Regions City and said, "General Bai, if we stop continuing to advance eastward and turn back to the north, we will soon arrive at Southern Regions City after a distance of more than ten miles."

"General Bai, regardless of whether General Zhao is leading troops in Southern Regions City or not, we must go." Li Lin's thoughts eased slightly, and he proposed, after all, the return from crossing the river in the south was to rescue Zhao Hongru's army in a crisis, if he went to Huocheng according to the news and missed Zhao Hongru, he was afraid that Zhao Hongru's army would be severely hit.

"Yes, we must go to Southern Regions City!" Bai Yisheng agreed with Li Lin's proposal, and continued: "General Li, you and I will divide our troops into two routes, the north and the south, if General Zhao is in the Southern Regions City, it will happen that the north and the south will flank the coalition forces."
