Chapter One Hundred and One

The tiger and wolf army that swept the three powerful countries of Liao, Zhubu and Tubo.

It can be said that on this continent, there is no army that can compete with the new army.

But Bailiyi still has no way to break the city, and Bailikang does not have either.

It is said that the fortress collapsed from the inside, but unfortunately Tengchong did not have the possibility of being surrendered.

Bailiyi could only surround the east gate and wait for the arrival of Sun Shixu's department.

A day later, the scouts from the north of Tengchong City reported that Sun Shixu's troops had arrived at the predetermined location, but Sun Shixu had no way to break the city after seeing Tengchong City.

Such a strong city, it can be said that it cannot be broken by external force, the grenades held by the Ming army can not hurt half of the hair of the city wall, even if it is with explosives packs, it is just scratching the itch through the boots, for the hard earth city wall that is more than a foot thick, even if hundreds of catties of explosives are used, it is just a grasshopper shaking the tree.

The most difficult part is that no matter which direction the Ming army attacks from, it will face defenders in at least three directions, because each wall has an acropolis and an urn city.

The three major generals of the Ming Kingdom, who swept through the north, were helpless in front of Xiao Tengchong City, which made the three of them depressed.

A day later, Baili Yi really couldn't bear this grievance, and built 5,000 people from each gate in the east, south, and north to attack the city together, maybe he could make a breakthrough when the defenders were in a hurry.

But this construction was unanimously opposed by Baili Kang and Sun Shixu, if the fifteen thousand army was damaged because of a small Tengchong City, then not to mention how to explain to Baili Wuji when he went back, just as three people, it would also be a smear on his face.

Now the Ming army is besieging Tengchong City. Without the worries of Dali Mansion, time is on the side of the Ming army, and there is no shortage of food and grass. Bai Likang and Sun Shixu believed that instead of taking the risk of heavy casualties, it was better to besiege Tengchong City until the enemy collapsed on his own.

Even if there are more materials hoarded in Tengchong City, half a year? A year? There will always be a time when it will be exhausted, and when the time comes, the old account and the new account will be counted together.

Bai Liyi was persuaded by the two. So, the three of them each led 5,000 troops and surrounded the eastern, southern, and northern gates of Tengchong respectively.

Circumference three que one. Leave a glimmer of hope to the defenders in the west, so as to break their fighting spirit, so that the defenders will not despair and resist desperately.

So if the enemy goes out of the west gate and flees, at the speed of the cavalry of the new army. It's just a breeze to pursue.

After this qiē is arranged. Unexpectedly, Yang Tingshi sent someone to contact, Yang Tingshi's troops had launched an attack on Tengchong City, and he hoped that when the chaos in the city began, the new army would cooperate with him to launch a fierce attack on the city, so as to coordinate the actions of his troops in the city.

The three of them were a little surprised, in their opinion, it was really ridiculous that the little third-rank general actually commanded the three second-rank generals.

But I thought that Yang Ting's style department had a secret purpose of being unscrupulous. It is also relieved that his ministry is authorized to move freely.

Thereupon. The three of them hurriedly changed their plans, took action, and each led 5,000 new troops into the predetermined position, waiting for the chaos in the city, and each led the army to launch a general attack on Tengchong City.

At this time, it was already a moment of Shen, and it would be dark in less than an hour, so Yang Tingshi chose to act at this time, in order to lay the foundation for airborne operations in the city when the twilight of the night came.

At the second moment of Shen, Gao Zhiping was looking at the Ming army being dispatched from the city tower, and his heart was mixed.

In fact, Gao Zhiping did not object to surrendering the Ming army, of course, this was before his father died.

Because Gao Zhiping feels that if he can enter the high-level of the Ming Kingdom, the opportunity for development is far greater than that of a Dali.

But now, Gao Zhiping no longer has this thought, the hatred of killing his father is not shared, how can he work with the enemy?

Of course, this is also a scene, in fact, Gao Zhiping knows very well in his heart that at this time, even if he goes out of the city and surrenders, I am afraid that he will be slaughtered by the Ming army with an excuse.

War is like this, once the war starts, each side has casualties, and it is very difficult to make peace.

Moreover, the main force of the Ming army has already surrounded Tengchong City, and it will never accept its surrender.

Naturally, Gao Zhengli also understands this truth, so Gao Zhiping is not worried about a fire in his back, and he is entangled with his uncle, and he can only wait until after the war to clean it up.

Just when Gao Zhiping was thinking about it, suddenly, a "black cloud" floated from the southeast of Tengchong City.

Gao Zhiping was a little surprised, he looked up at the sky, the sun was setting, why did such weather come from dark clouds?

The black clouds are getting bigger and closer.

When the defenders on the city wall found out, they began to whisper, and then they all craned their necks to watch.

It wasn't until the black clouds were close enough to see the structure with the naked eye that Gao Zhiping saw the people on the hot air balloon and suddenly realized that this might be the secret weapon of the Ming army.

Gao Zhiping hurriedly ordered to shoot arrows into the sky, so the dense arrows shot into the air, but unfortunately, the hot air balloon was far away from the range and could not reach it at all.

No amount of arrows is just a waste, and it also consumes the body of the crossbowman.

At this moment, the hot air balloon was already approaching directly above the city tower, and Yang Tingshi, who personally led the team, gave an order with a flag to drop a bomb.

It took countless manpower and material resources in the armory workshop to test explosions again and again, and the improved bombs finally had a chance to fight.

When the black bomb weighing dozens of pounds fell, the unknown defenders raised their heads and shot at it.

And in the blink of an eye, a huge explosion and stirred up dust enveloped the entire tower.

For the defenders and Gao Zhiping on the city tower, the end of the world is nothing more than that.

Eight hundred hot air balloons and eight hundred bombs were undoubtedly a catastrophe for the soldiers defending the East City Gate.

But Yang Tingshi's purpose was not here, after throwing the bomb, he ordered his subordinates to follow him to the depths of Tengchong City.

The three Bailiyi outside the city had already purged their respective armies, and when they saw the frequent explosions in the East Gate Tower, they knew that Yang Tingshi had launched, so they invariably led the new army to launch a general attack on the East Gate.

The siege went quite smoothly, the resistance encountered was almost minimal, and the defenders were already frightened under this round of bombardment, and how could they still have the fighting spirit to resist the siege of the Ming army.

In only half an hour, the Ming army occupied the Acropolis and the Urn City at the East Gate, occupying these two military strongholds, and the East City Gate was as if it had no fortification.

Gao Zhiping, surrounded by his personal guards, fled into the East City Gate.

While fleeing, he was glad that he could survive such a disaster and renew the protection of his father's spirit in heaven.

Gao Zhiping still has the will to fight, because, there are only thousands of people on the city tower, and there are more than 20,000 troops under his command, he ordered to gather all the troops from the south gate, ready to fight to the death with the Ming army at the east gate, at the same time, he sent someone to contact Gao Zhengli, asking him to reinforce the east gate.

The battle continues. (To be continued......)
