The reason why Xie Ai delayed the attack of the remaining three roads was naturally to let the main army outside the south gate attract the attention of the defenders of the country, which would be more conducive to the surprise attack of the remaining people.

In order to obtain the effect of a surprise attack, the various armies must enter their respective positions in advance, and lie in ambush, waiting for the signal of the battle outside the south gate.

The partial division outside the west gate is also responsible for feints, so there is no need to approach the ambush in the city, as long as the camp is assembled in advance, the east gate direction of a thousand warriors is responsible for the surprise attack, so it is necessary to enter the city gate in advance near the ambush, fortunately, outside the east gate is a large area of reeds, therefore, it can be well ambushed without being discovered by the defenders of the city wall, as for the north gate direction, due to the need to ambush under the water outside the city gate, the water at night is very cold, and the soldier's body is a great loss, therefore, It is not possible to enter the ambush place too early, it is necessary to calculate the time to sneak across, and to delay as much as possible and not act too early, that is to say, a group of men and horses outside the north gate will be the last wave to attack.

After the hour, Xie Ai and all the generals under his command got up, and immediately began to secretly assemble troops and horses, preparing to attack Shengle City, and the two partial divisions outside the east gate and the north gate also began to enter the assembled area one after another, ready to sneak near the city gate at any time.

After some preparations, Xie Ai's main army outside the south gate has been completely prepared, and as long as Xie Ai gives an order, he can immediately rush out of the camp and kill towards the south gate of Shengle City.

In the direction of the east gate, with a glimmer of moonlight, a thousand Jin warriors dressed in black cloth were in the gap of the reeds. Along the secret path in the swamp, slowly marching towards the east gate of Shengle City, in order not to be discovered by the soldiers defending the city, the soldiers marched in batches, and the speed was very slow, walking for a while, so as to quietly touch the east gate of Shengle City.

The 1,000 soldiers of the Jin Army, who were responsible for attacking the north gate, were ambushed in the reeds on the shore downstream, and they would postpone their departure before the time had come. So that before reaching under the city gates. The battle outside the South Gate can be fought.

Soon, in the middle of the night, it had arrived, and in the camp of Xie Ai's army outside the south gate, Xie Ai and his subordinates had all been put on horseback. And made all the preparations before the attack.

"General. The time has come. The whole army is ready to attack. General Zhang Oyster said loudly.

Xie Ai nodded and looked at the generals. He said loudly: "The whole army immediately set off to attack Shengle City, and tonight is the day when our army breaks the city." ”

When the generals heard the order, they immediately led their soldiers and horses to the south gate of Shengle City.

In order to create the momentum of a large-scale attack, Xie Ai mobilized all the heavy thunderbolts and prepared enough black powder blocks, ready to use a thunderous blow to attract all the attention of the Dai Guo army in Shengle City to the direction of the south gate, so as to reduce the pressure on the rest of the surprise attackers, and strive to break through Shengle City in one fell swoop.

The main force of the Jin army outside the south gate suddenly assembled on a large scale and began to assemble in the direction of the south gate of Shengle City, which quickly attracted the attention of the defenders of Daiguo who were on duty at night, and they immediately struck the gong to issue an alarm that the main force of the Jin army was about to attack Shengle City at night, and immediately began to strengthen the defensive force, preparing to meet the attack of the main force of the Jin army.

Xie Ai personally led the main army under his command to attack outside the south gate of Shengle City, and soon arrived at a position not far from the south gate.

"General, it's time to attack." General Yang An reminded softly.

Xie Ai nodded and ordered, "All the thunderbolts will start attacking immediately. ”

"Yes, General." Yang An received the order and immediately went to convey the order.

Soon, all 2,000 thunderbolt vehicles of the Jin army began the final preparations before launching, and a large number of thunderbolt shells had also been loaded.

......Almost at the same time, two thousand thunderbolts fired the ignited thunderbolts at the same time, and smashed them towards the south gate of Shengle City.

The huge explosion sound of "boom boom boom ......" made the entire south wall of Shengle City and the nearby ground shake, and the flames ignited by the explosion lit up the entire south city wall, as if it were day.

The thunderbolts of the Jin army smashed into the south wall of Shengle City in waves, in addition to causing a lot of damage to the soldiers defending the city on behalf of the country, but also smashed a large number of potholes of different sizes on the originally flat wall, which made the entire Shengle City fall into extreme uneasiness.

Most of the people in the city were awakened by the sound of a huge explosion, and even the palace of the king, who was in the middle of Shengle City, was affected by the huge explosion.

At this moment, the acting king Tuoba Shi Yijian was resting in the palace, and the sudden loud explosion from the direction of the south gate made him very frightened, and he immediately got up and dressed, and asked what happened.

The servants in the palace naturally did not understand what was happening, so they could not answer the question of Tuoba Shi Yikey, but soon, a small colonel rushed into the palace, and when he saw that Tuoba Shi Yikey had already gotten up, he reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the main force of the Jin army suddenly launched a large-scale night attack, and the soldiers of our army are fighting with the Jin army outside the south gate. ”

When Tuoba Shiyigan heard this, he immediately understood that the huge explosion was caused by the Jin army's night attack, however, the main force of the Jin army changed its habits and suddenly launched an attack at night, which made Tuoba Shiyiqian feel a little surprised, however, it is also very understandable that this move was unexpected, after all, the Jin army launched an attack at night in order to carry out a surprise attack, so as to achieve unexpected results.

However, as soon as the Jin army did this, Tuoba Shiyiqian couldn't sleep at all, so he immediately led a group of guards to personally supervise the battle outside the south gate.

In the direction of the South Gate, after the raid of the Thunderbolts continued for some time, Shay Eyre again gave the order for the Thunderbolts to extend their fire, and the main infantry immediately attacked.

The attack in the direction of the south gate had just lasted for a short time, and the partial division of the Jin army in the direction of the west gate also launched an attack to share the pressure in the direction of the south gate.

At this moment, the 1,000 Jin warriors in the direction of the east gate are ready to attack at any time, while the 1,000 Jin warriors outside the north gate are still secretly marching underwater.

Tuoba Shiyigan led a group of guards and soon arrived in the direction of the south gate, and at this moment, many generals of the Daiguo also arrived outside the south gate and joined the command to defend the city.

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here, you better go back to the palace to rest, there is a general to guard the south gate, it must be foolproof." Seeing that the Jin army's attack was so fierce, the general of the Dai army was afraid that Tuoba Shiyigan would make a mistake, so he persuaded loudly.

Tuoba Shiyiqian waved his hand and said, "This king stands here to tell the warriors who defend the city that this king is with them, and this king will defend the city with the soldiers." ”

The general then persuaded a few more words, and when he saw that Tuoba Shiyiqian insisted on sitting at the south gate of Shengle City in person, he no longer persuaded him.

In order to motivate his soldiers to hold the city, Tuoba Shiyiqian asked the guards beside him to display the royal flag, so that all the soldiers defending the city could know his savings, so as to work harder to defend the city.

The royal banner of Tuoba Shiyiqian will naturally inspire the soldiers under his command to work hard to defend the city, but at the same time, it also attracts the attention of the soldiers of the Chengwai Jin army.

Zhao Wu looked at Xie Ai and said softly: "General, look, Tuoba Shiyiqian's royal flag is fluttering in the wind, and Tuoba Shiyigan himself must be under the royal flag." ”

Hearing this, Xie Ai nodded, and quipped: "It seems that the attack of our army disturbed Tuoba Shiyigan's rest, so he came to the south gate in the middle of the night to personally supervise the battle." ”

"General, since Tuoba Shiyiqian is under the Wang Banner, why don't our troops concentrate the thunderbolts and bombard the vicinity of the Wang Banner to bombard it." Zhang Hao said loudly.

When Xie Ai heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he ordered softly: "Concentrate two hundred thunderbolt cars and bombard the royal banner with all your might, and you must knock out the royal banner of Tuoba Shiyiqian." ”

Of course, Xie Ai's main purpose is not to bombard Tuoba Shiyiqian, but to greatly damage the morale of the defenders of the country, and destroying Tuoba Shiyiqian's royal banner is the best way to strike.

When the general heard this, he immediately went to give the order, and soon, two hundred thunderbolts aimed at the vicinity of the king's banner and immediately attacked.

A large number ......of thunderbolts exploded near Wang Qi, and many of the guards beside Tuoba Shiyiqian were killed and injured in order to protect Tuoba Shiyiqian.

"Your Majesty, Wang Qi has attracted the attention of the Jin army, this is not a place to stay for a long time, and the last general will escort the king to evacuate." A representative army general said loudly.

Seeing that the guards beside him fell in a pool of blood, and the thunderbolts of the Jin army were still being fired intensively, Tuoba Shiyiqian did not dare to be a hero again, and immediately left the city wall of the south gate under the escort of his generals and walked to a safe position.

It didn't take long for a thunderbolt to hit the king's banner directly, thus blowing it to pieces.

Seeing that the king flag of the Daiguo disappeared in an instant, Xie Ai and the soldiers under his command were all overjoyed, although they did not know whether Tuoba Shiyiqian had been seriously injured or died, but the Wang Qi was the symbol of the Daiguo, and blowing up the royal flag of Tuoba Shiyiqian was also a great blow to the morale of the Daiguo army.

The battle in the direction of the south gate was extremely hot, and the attention of the army defending the city was almost entirely attracted by the battle in the direction of the south gate.

In the direction of the east gate, there are only more than 500 soldiers defending the city, among them, most of them stay in the temporary camp under the city, and there are only more than 50 soldiers on the city wall, and there is only one soldier at a good distance, and these more than 50 soldiers do not observe the situation outside the city seriously and responsibly, because their attention is all attracted by the battle in the direction of the south gate.

At this time, the battle at the south gate had been going on for a while, and the Jin generals who were responsible for the surprise attack on the east gate saw that the time was ripe, so they immediately led their soldiers to quietly move under the city wall of the east gate.
