Knock knock~

On the head of the city above the gate of Chen Shicheng, dozens of shirtless men beat the war drums vigorously, and the passionate drums resounded throughout the land.

"Kill!"

"Ahh

Under the city tower, countless soldiers of the family are marching up the siege ladder with shields in front of the rain of arrows, and from time to time someone is shot down by the rain of arrows.

Beneath the battlements, some of the soldiers of the family had reached the edge of the city wall and were engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the defenders on the towers.

"Quick! Su Li, you bring a team of people to support the left side, and the others come with me! ”

On the city tower, Xiang Pet, whose armor was already stained with blood, took a thousand reserve soldiers and horses to order Su Li beside him, and at the same time quickly ran towards the right flank of the city wall with the other half of the horses.

Chen Shicheng's offensive and defensive battles have been fought for half a month, and the reserve forces in the city are almost exhausted.

After passing through the wall of Yankou City, Gongsun Shu gave up the unrealistic idea of uprooting every city in Chen Shi County, and instead directly dispersed his forces to focus on the cities along the way, and then concentrated his forces to storm Chen Shi City.

As the seat of Chen Shi County, Chen Shi City is the center of the entire Chen Shi County, as long as Chen Shi City is taken, it will cut off the retreat of more than 10 cities on both sides of Chen Shi northeast. Once the army's heart is broken, it will be much easier to deal with many cities left.

Therefore, in the past 10 days, Gongsun Shu has gathered 100,000 troops to launch a continuous onslaught on Chen Shi.

The 8,000 defenders in Chen Shichen have almost lost more than 7 cities, and if it were not for the newly recruited 30,000 young men to join, it would not have been able to support it to this day.

When night fell on the land in the evening, the Chengjia army finally stopped attacking.

"Whew!"

Holding his sword on the ground to support his tired body, he looked at the Chengjia army who was slowly withdrawing from the battlefield, and exhaled lightly to his pet.

swept the soldiers who were dragging their tired bodies on the city wall and were still cleaning the battlefield, and a hint of gloom flashed in Xiang Pet's eyes.

The number of soldiers that can be used is almost exhausted, and there are less than 4,000 soldiers who can fight tomorrow, so I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on.

However, there is no way back.

Xiang Pet showed a resolute look on his face, and his heart was ready to fight to the death tomorrow.

Now that the Xiang family has been completely integrated into the entire Southern King force, it is impossible for him to surrender even if he fights to the last soldier.

The situation in Chen Shicheng was difficult, and in the camp of the Chengjia army outside the city, Gongsun mentioned that none of the generals in the army showed joy.

It's been a tough battle!

Don't look at the situation in Chen Shicheng now, but in the eyes of Gongsun Shu, this state has lasted for several days, but it has not been able to break through.

Under the continuous siege of the city for more than 10 days, more than 40,000 of the 100,000 Chengjia troops were damaged, and the battle damage was nearly half. Although judging from the quantitative comparison on the surface, the casualty ratio of the two armies is about one to one, which can be said to be very good in siege warfare.

But you must know that most of the defenders in this Chen Shi City are newly recruited young and strong, and the real soldiers and county soldiers of the Northern Army are only 8,000 people, and more than 40,000 elites in the army are exchanged for the newly recruited young men of the other party, and this deal is not worth it.

Thankfully, the war will soon be over!

"Your Majesty, right now we have spent a long time in Chen Shicheng, all the departments in the army are tired, and it is not good for our army to continue the stalemate, why not recruit Hou Dan and Yan Cen to join the two divisions, and Chen Shicheng will definitely fight with the strength of the three armies!"

There was silence in the big tent of the Chinese army, and when the battle was like this, no one had the confidence to speak, and in the end, Li Xiong glanced at everyone and got up to suggest.

It can be seen that Chen Shicheng has been fighting for a long time, and the confidence of the generals in the army in the war has fallen to the bottom.

"What Da Situ said is reasonable, Brother Guang, you quickly send someone to find Hou Dan and Yancen!"

Gongsun Shu glanced at the silent generals, nodded and adopted Li Xiong's suggestion.

Although he was depressed in his heart, Gongsun Shu also understood that the disadvantage of attacking the city was not because the generals did not use their lives, but because the determination of the defenders in the city to resist was too resolute.

In addition, the ordnance and material reserves in the city are sufficient, all the soldiers of the Northern Army, the county soldiers and the newly recruited young men are all equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons, and the arrows of the archers are not to be sprinkled to the Chengjia army under the city without money.

"Whoa!"

Gongsun Shu's order lifted everyone's spirits, and Da Sima Gongsun Guang quickly received the order.

Hou Dan and Yan Cen have always been fierce generals in the Chengjia army, and at this time they are each leading an army of 20,000 to attack the east and west areas of Chen Shijun.

By the time the time came, the night had completely covered the whole land, and the crescent moon hanging high in the sky appeared mischievously, hiding in the clouds from time to time, and disappeared.

Chengdong Village, a few miles away from Dongshan City, has fallen silent, and only a few patrolling soldiers on duty in the densely packed camp outside the village have been walking around the camp, and the rest of the soldiers have all fallen asleep.

In the center of the camp, in the huge tent of the Chinese army, the leading general Yan Cen had collapsed on the desk with his clothes, his brows furrowed. Beneath his hands and head, a topographical map of the southeastern region of Chenshi County was spread out on his desk.

Yan Cen's position in the Cheng family army is slightly embarrassing, he is not an old man who followed Gongsun Shu, in the last years of Wang Mang, Yan Cen once also pulled up a team to revolt, and when the power was the largest, Guanzhong was divided, and finally the Han army was defeated and voted for Gongsun Shu. As the former overlord of the party, Yan Cen, who had tens of thousands of troops under his command, was immediately reused by Gongsun Shu, but was squeezed out by the original veterans under Gongsun Shu.

In this battle, Gongsun Shu ordered him to lead the army alone to attack the Dongshan City area, which may not be without some intention to weaken Yancen's strength.

Bang Bang Bang ~

The dry wood made a slight crackling sound as it burned in the bonfire, and the originally calm light of the fire suddenly began to shake continuously, and between the light of the fire was extinguished, a dense roar was faintly heard in the sky.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

A black cavalry appeared on the distant ground like a ghost at night, under the faint moonlight, the layers of black armor continued to rise and fall, and there were rumbling collisions from time to time between running, and the horses' hooves were churning, constantly trampling on the ground, rolling up bursts of dust and smoke.

"Enemy attack!"

A terrible scream pierced the silence of the night sky.

Woo Woo Woo ~ In the violent trembling of the earth, a dense number of heavy arrows covered the sky above the Yancen army camp and fell rapidly.

Ahhh

The continuous screams continued to sound, and a large number of soldiers of the Chengjia Army fell asleep forever.

Bang bang bang~

The flying hooves of the horses trampled through the camp, and the rows of black heavy cavalry with spears in their hands went straight to the camp, crushing all the tents along the way, and all the soldiers of the Chengjia Army who stood in front of them became dead souls under the sword.

The flames rose into the sky, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Northern Army were like a sharp steel knife straight into the heart of the Chengjia army camp.

It was a massacre without any suspense!

"It's over!"

Looking at the black cavalry that continued to pour into the camp, Yan Cen realized that the army was over.

At the same time, the same scene was staged outside Changshui City on the other side of the western side of Chenshi County.
