The rumbling explosions continued, one after another building cars were destroyed and burned, and the raging fire was like a bright light in the dark night, illuminating the surrounding Yuan soldiers clearly. After the threat of the building car was removed, the Song army in the city opened full firepower, and the divine arm bow, longbow, and thunderbolt cannon were each looking for their own targets according to their different positioning, and the Yuan soldiers who lost the cover of the fog suffered countless casualties for a while.

Kong An, the defender of the Yuan army who began to rush first, was wounded by an arrow when the first building car was destroyed, and after treatment and bandaging, he got on a new horse and commanded and supervised the battle at the rear of the team. The team of 5,000 men was mainly divided into three parts, about 70% of the building carts and trebuchets were cast, and 30% were reserves, which were ready to throw themselves into places with heavy battle losses.

There are not many people around Kong An, and the reserves of more than 1,000 have all been pressed, and there are only more than 30 personal guards around him. The herald sent by Li Heng to deliver the verbal reward was also there, waiting for Kong An to report the battle situation to the Chinese army's big tent, although he really saw it, it still had to come out of Kong An's mouth after all.

The building cars in the front row were seriously damaged, and when the rear ones moved forward to fill the position, they were also blown up by the Song army at the head of the city, and there are very few building cars that can be used at present. Dozens of catapults continued to be fired, but the firepower of the Song army in the city was very fierce, the casualties were very large, the battle damage was too fast, and the reserves were filled up, but it was still not enough.

"Report to Li Shuai quickly and ask for support!"

Kong An finally couldn't bear to ask for help, as the first team to start the war, he has won the first merit of today, as long as the fight is not too bad, the reward after the battle is indispensable. But the first team to start the battle, the casualties were so large, how could he open his mouth to ask Li Shuai for help, but it was so hard to hold on, I am afraid that the ladder will not be able to build the city, and the five thousand men and horses will be consumed.

So the herald waited, and he didn't say anything, until the last working cart was set ablaze and fell apart, and looking at the dozens of archers who fell to the ground, he still couldn't hold on.

When Kong Anxin was entangled, there were many changes in the development of the battle situation, and there were only sixteen Hongyi cannons in the 20-way siege team, and there must be a few teams that could not be intercepted. At the position of Lu Shikui's main attack at the North City Gate, the moats of those siege points have been about to be filled, and the power of the catapult is undoubtedly revealed in these places, and the Song army who were stoned to death has hundreds of people.

The use of thunderbolts and assault rockets to attack the building car was notified by Zhao Tianyou that the heralds were sent to defend the car one by one, and when they arrived at the North City Gate, the fire coverage of the Yuan Bing building car had already prevailed, not to mention that a large number of city guards were killed in battle, and even the firearms squad personnel stationed on Hong Kong Island also lost more than half.

Tang Lingfeng, the guard general of the city, is over 60 years old, and he is an instructor of the Guangzhou Terracotta Division in the past. Under the national crisis, those who have some ability in everything have to bear a little more responsibility, and General Tang Lao is such a person. With his four sons and more than 30 apprentices, he rushed from his hometown of Guotou Village to participate in the battle to recover Guangzhou, and was later appointed by Zhang Zhensun as a deputy general of the North City Gate.

"General, our casualties are too great, and the equipment of the firearms battalion has also been lost, and we can't suppress the Yuan soldiers!"

"Mobilize the reserves, all go to the city to participate in the battle! We must not let a Yuan soldier come up here, unless we step on my old Tang's head! Tang Lingfeng was holding a nine-foot red tassel gun, with a three-inch gun head made of iron, trembling and cold in his hand, and the old man's white hair and red eyebrows were murderous.

The five hundred reserves soon came up from the city and were replenished into the already weak ranks, and the Yuan soldiers, who had just felt some hope, were suddenly pressed down by the rain of arrows, and the dozens of Yuan soldiers who climbed to the other side of the moat were instantly shot into hedgehogs.

In the stalemate of the war, what is fought is the morale of the soldiers and the leadership art of the commander, just like the old man Tang who is the god of war in the world, standing at the back of the team with a spear in his hand, which plays a key role in improving morale.

"Smack!"

A precious porcelain cup fell to the ground, and the fragments of four or five divisions were splashed everywhere, and the herald with his head down did not dare to look up at Li Heng, who was angry, and his eyes that were about to stare out were as terrifying as beasts.

"The reserves are all gone? How Kong An commanded the team, how did he himself not die! You still want reinforcements, what the hell do you want to show me where I don't need reinforcements? Li Heng is now short-tempered and irritable, and has lost the composure and calmness that his generals admired in the past, and even his own soldiers for a long time after this began to wonder that today's handsome seems to have changed as if he has changed a person.

"Hurry up and investigate, among the twenty teams, there are a few that have already attacked under the city wall, and also, quickly ask Lu Shuai to come over from the front line of the North City Gate to discuss matters!"

Lu Shikui himself also led 5,000 men and horses to attack the city, originally as the commander of the army, he should not personally go into battle, just sit firmly in the Chinese army, and command his team to carry out Li Heng's orders.

But as a proud general, where is he willing to let others compare, but his identity is a general of the Song Dynasty, and he can't compare to Li Heng, a descendant of the Western Xia royal family. Then personally leading the army to the front line, and making more military merits is the only way to prove his strength, although he didn't agree with Li Heng's decision at first, concentrating superior forces and choosing a point to break through is the tactic he has always pursued.

Originally, his subordinates had already built the ladder out, and after crossing the moat, they were destroyed by the sudden increase in the rain of arrows in the city, and Lu Shikui naturally knew that the defenders of the city sent a reserve to participate in the battle. From the very beginning, the archers on the building carts began to suppress the firepower, and the combat effectiveness of the Song army at the head of the city has been in a tight state, and the counterattack is often reckless, and the counteroffensive against the building carts and catapults is not strong enough.

The firearms attack at the head of the city was sharp and accurate, and it also blew up two building cars, but the tactic of firing sudden rockets to ignite the fire failed, because the trees used for these building cars were freshly felled, and the trunks had a high water content and it was difficult to start a fire. Lu Shikui also ordered people to apply a thick layer of cement to prevent fire yesterday, unless the defenders of the city can put oil and sprinkle it on these wood to ignite the fire, in order to achieve the strategic purpose of burning off the fog.

"Catapult, twenty paces forward, send shieldmen to protect the bows and arrows on the head of the city!"

The battle damage of the team under Lu Shikui is not large, and there are still thousands of people in the reserve team that has been postponed, so he is not in a hurry at all, as long as these dozen building vehicles normally suppress the firepower of the city, the catapults will soon be able to smash this section of the city wall into a hole, and then it will be the moment when the white knives meet and decide life and death.

One, two, two building cars in a row were hit by thunderbolts, and before they could fall, the archers on the platform hurriedly lay down the ladder and fled for their lives. The trebuchet under the city had already approached the city wall, adjusted the angle, and more than a dozen huge stones flew up to the city, smashing on the ground with stumps and broken arms, and the flesh and blood on the ground were blurred.
