Hua'an's pro-military battalion of 700 soldiers, together with the 10,000 main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, held the east gate of Yinling City, due to the limited area of the city wall, the 10,000 main army was divided into three groups to take turns to defend the city, and the pro-military battalion was full of all the soldiers.

At this time, Hua An led his two hundred soldiers to stick to the city wall, waiting for the attack of the Peach Leopard army.

Three hundred steps away from the city, the main army of the peach leopard has been arrayed, and the sword and shield soldiers, bow and crossbow soldiers, cloud ladder soldiers, and so on have been arrayed, and they can attack the city just by waiting for the main general to give an order.

In the enemy's array, the main general Peach Leopard stared at the Yinling City in front of him, his eyes were full of extreme hatred, the small Yinling City in front of him had already made his army lose three times in a row, first Taowu and Zhang Liang lost 2,000 soldiers, and then Zhang Ju's 10,000 army was wiped out, and what annoyed him the most was that the 30,000 army commanded by him was also defeated under the Yinling City.

Of course, Peach Leopard will not admit that he is incompetent, in his heart, the reason why he was defeated last time was just a moment of carelessness, despising the bandits around Dangtu City, and this time with an army of 10,000 to defend Dangtu, the rear is stable, the siege force is sufficient, and it is no longer a problem to capture Dangtu.

"Han Qian, Ben is going to make you lose this time." Peach Leopard frowned and clenched his fists.

"General, after the armies are arrayed, do you want to attack the city immediately?" A subordinate general asked.

Peach Leopard looked left and right, saw that his subordinates were ready, and said loudly: "All the troops are ready for battle, and the thunderbolt will attack the city immediately." ”

"Yes, General." The general immediately went to give the order.

"The whole army is ready to attack, and the Thunderbolts immediately attack the city."

"The whole army is ready to attack, and the Thunderbolts immediately attack the city."

The herald conveys orders downwards in turn.

Suddenly, the 30,000 soldiers adjusted their postures, all their weapons leaned forward, all their shields were raised, and the ladder soldiers hugged the ladder in their hands, ready to rush forward at any time.

Fifty thunderbolts immediately poured boulders, broken stones, and burning fireballs towards the walls of Yinling City.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Several rounds of projectiles, a large number of boulders, gravel, and burning fireballs fell heavily on the walls of Yinling City, and the huge impact made a deafening muffled sound.

Some unfortunate officers and soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were directly hit by rubble and lost their lives on the spot, and some soldiers were burned by the burning fireballs.

"All squat, everybody squat." The officer in charge of the command on the city wall shouted instructions to the soldiers, making them crouch down to avoid the attack of the enemy thunderbolts.

"Hoo ......"

A gravel roared towards Hua An's chest, Hua An subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and suddenly a hot feeling came from his arm, it was obvious that the power of the enemy thunderbolt was very great.

"The enemy's thunderbolts are so powerful that the soldiers are squatting." Hua An covered his arms and immediately squatted down.

"Big brother, are you okay?" Wang San saw that Hua An's arm was trembling.

"Ugh." Hua An groaned and said loudly: "It's nothing, it's just a piece of rubble from the enemy, and it'll be fine for a while." ”

"Damn, the enemy will do this, and every time I can't hold my head up." Iron Bull hunched over, lying on the back of the female wall, and scolded loudly.

"Haha! Just endure for a while, and when the enemy army rushes down to the city, these annoying thunderbolts will be useless. Thunderstorm laughed.

"That's right, when the time comes, we can teach this group of rabbits a hard lesson, haha!" Iron Bull laughed too.

Hua An looked at the four brothers beside him, all of them had a relaxed expression, and said with a smile: "Brothers, in today's battle, you can be injured, but no one is allowed to die, and whoever dies, the eldest brother will not agree." ”

"Haha! Don't worry, big brother, we will not die, and we still have to follow our big brother to recover the Central Plains and become a general? Iron Bull roared.

"Brigade Marshal, we also want to live, and in the future, we will follow the Brigade Marshal to recover the Central Plains, be generals, and glorify our ancestors." The soldiers of the left brigade of the surrounding pro-barracks, seeing that Tie Niu said this, also echoed him.

When Hua An heard this, he said loudly: "Good job, the soldiers are all good, you all have to live today, when the enemy army rushes up, you will kill me fiercely, on the battlefield, either you die or I die, kill the enemy, you can live, and only then can you be a general in the future, and glorify your ancestors." ”

"Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, glorify the ancestors."

"Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, glorify the ancestors."

The morale of the soldiers was suddenly like a rainbow, and they squatted behind the women's wall and shouted.

#######

In the enemy's large array, the main general Tao Leopard and a group of generals were looking at the Yinling City in front, and they all felt extremely proud when they saw that the Jin army was suppressed by the thunderbolt and couldn't raise their heads.

"Hahaha! General, you see, the Jin army at the head of the city has disappeared, and they will not all be crushed to death by our army's thunderbolts! One of the generals laughed and teased.

"General, fifty thunderbolts, the power of the salvo is extraordinary, and the Jin army is completely overwhelmed and can't raise its head." Another general said loudly.

Peach Leopard stroked the beard on his chin, looked quite proud, and laughed: "The momentum of the Jin army has been suppressed by my thunderbolt, at this time, as long as the main army is pressed with all its strength, it will only be in the evening." ”

"Exactly, exactly, exactly what the general said." The back of the peach leopard will be greatly complimented.

"Hahahaha!" Peach Leopard looked at the Yinling City in front of him, laughed, and then ordered loudly: "The Chinese army is pressing, the right army is ready to fight, and the left army will immediately attack the city." ”

"The general has an order, and the left army immediately attacks the city."

"The general has an order, and the left army immediately attacks the city."

The order to siege the city was conveyed downwards in turn.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"

Suddenly, the thunderbolt stopped shooting, and nearly 10,000 horses on the left flank of the enemy army rushed towards the east gate of Yinling City.

Giant shield soldiers, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, crossbow soldiers, and siege troops, covering each other and cooperating with each other, approached the city of Yinling step by step.

"Big brother, the enemy army has entered the range of the bow and crossbow." Wang San reminded in a low voice.

Hua An glanced at the battlement, and said: "The enemy has a lot of shield soldiers, at this time the formation is neat, and it is slowly pressing towards the city wall, and the salvo of the bow and crossbow will not cause much damage to the enemy, or wait for the enemy army to start attacking the city, and the formation will be chaotic to shoot, the effect will be better." ”

"Whoosh ......"

At this time, the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army on the city wall, except for the left brigade of Hua'an, all those who had bows and arrows in their hands shot into the enemy's formation.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

With a dull crashing sound, most of the bows and arrows of the Northern Expeditionary Army fell on the enemy's shields, and only a few bows and arrows entered the enemy's body.

"Big brother, the enemy army is in a tight formation, and the shield formation is impermeable!" Iron Bull exclaimed.

Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "When the enemy's formation is dispersed, it will be a good opportunity for our archers to kill the enemy." ”

Soon, the enemy army had advanced to a position less than twenty steps away from Yinling City, and the tight shield array began to spread, and siege equipment such as cloud ladders and siege vehicles began to approach the city.

"Shoot the arrows, and the crossbowmen will release them immediately." Huaan shouted.

Suddenly, the archers of the left brigade of the pro-barracks immediately shot the sharp arrows that had already been wound in their hands at the enemy troops under the city, and because the shield array had been dispersed, the exposed enemy soldiers became the target of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"Whoosh ......"

"Ahhh......h

After a few rounds of arrow rain, the enemy soldiers who were hit by arrows fell to the ground, and the city screamed miserably.

But this casualty could not stop the pace of the enemy's main attack, and the enemy's main force completely ignored the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground, and roared towards Yinling City.

"Ahhh......h

It turned out that when the enemy soldiers advanced to fifteen steps away from Yinling City, the soldiers who ran to the front fell into, and the Northern Expedition military first dug the traps, and the bottom of these traps was densely inserted with many sharpened bamboos, as long as the enemy soldiers fell into the trap, they would immediately be pierced by the sharpened bamboo, and they would die with a whimper.

The soldiers who followed closely behind could not hold their feet for a while, and they also fell into the trap one after another, and died in Huangquan, and for a while, the trap was full of corpses of enemy soldiers, and almost all of them filled the trap.

The soldiers in the back stepped on the corpses of the soldiers in front of them and continued to attack, as if they were stepping on not the corpses of their comrades, but the stepping stones of their meritorious service.

Five steps away from the city wall, there is a moat with a depth of only four feet and a width of less than one zhang, which naturally cannot stop the advance of the enemy soldiers, but it can block the enemy's large siege equipment, rushing cars, large folding ladders, wells, and other siege equipment can not pass through the city.

A large number of enemy infantry soon rushed through the moat and put the improvised ladder on the city wall, and the sword and shield soldiers at the bottom began to climb up the ladder, while the enemy archers squatted in the moat dug by the Northern Expeditionary Army and fired arrows on the city wall.

The moat dug by the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army was originally intended to block the enemy's large-scale siege equipment, but at this time, it also became a defensive facility for the enemy's crossbowmen to hide their bodies, which could not help but make many soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army feel depressed.

"The enemy is coming, and the soldiers are ready to kill the enemy." Chen Xiong, the deputy general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who was in charge of defense on the city wall, shouted loudly.

"Soldiers, cheer me up and teach these invading enemies a good lesson." Hua An also yelled to boost the morale of his soldiers.

Under the cover of crossbowmen, the enemy siege infantry crawled towards the city like a tide, and soon fought with the Jin army defending the city.

The archers of the Jin army on the city wall shot at the enemy archers in the moat under the city through the female wall, and suddenly the arrows were like flying locusts, and the soldiers on both sides were injured.

"Kill ......"

Hua An shouted, raised his broadsword, and cut down an enemy soldier who had climbed to the top of the city.

Tie Niu picked up a big stone and smashed the follow-up several enemy soldiers down the city together, Lei Storm, Zhao Wu, and Wang San were also killed, and from time to time the enemy soldiers who attacked the city were picked down under the city.

Hundreds of corpses of enemy soldiers were soon piled up under the city walls, and the wounded enemy soldiers were as high as thousands, but the casualties of the Northern Expeditionary Army defending the city were not small, with the help of the cover of the city, the casualties were about sixty percent of the enemy's.

However, the enemy army occupies the advantage of troops, and the leading officers are all guilty, if they can't capture Yinling City within half a month, they will be beheaded by Shi Hu, so although their subordinates have suffered heavy casualties in attacking the city, the generals of each army still urge their soldiers to storm the city.
