Chapter 791: Attacking Shengle City

Because the light is very weak at night, and there are reeds as a shield, the soldiers of Daiguo who defend the east gate can not easily find the actions of the Jin army's surprise attack, and the huge explosion sound from outside the south gate covers up the friction between the soldiers of the Jin army and the reeds when they walk, so until the soldiers of the Jin army arrive under the city wall and set up thirty ladders, the defenders of the country did not find it.

The general of the Jin army gave an order, and thirty Jin soldiers began to quietly climb to the city wall, and then, the second batch of thirty soldiers climbed up again, and the soldiers on the city wall did not know anything about it, they all walked slowly in the middle of the city wall, and from time to time raised their heads to look outside the city and in the direction of the south gate, so paralyzing and sloppy behavior, naturally there is a price.

The first batch of thirty Jin soldiers quickly climbed the women's wall, and immediately climbed over the women's wall to carry out a surprise attack on the Daiguo soldiers patrolling the city wall.

When the soldiers on patrol found that there were enemy troops climbing the city, it was already too late, and before they could give a warning, they were suddenly beheaded by the soldiers of the Jin army.

The fifty soldiers on the city wall were easily dealt with, and soon, a large number of Jin soldiers climbed the city wall one after another, and after a little assembly, they immediately ran down the city wall and launched an attack on the unprepared camp of the Dai army.

There were 1,000 Jin warriors who entered Shengle City from the direction of the east gate, while the Dai soldiers and horses in the Daiguo camp near the east gate were less than 500 men and horses, and they lacked preparation, so they were quickly defeated by the Jin warriors.

After the 1,000 Jin warriors completely occupied the east gate, they followed the prior agreement. Proceed in the direction of the North Gate, intending to join the 1,000 warriors at the North Gate, and then attack together in the direction of the West Gate.

At this moment, in the direction of the north gate of Shengle City, a thousand Jin army warriors have secretly sneaked to the vicinity of the north gate, and seeing that the battle outside the south gate has been started for a long time, they began to quietly poke out their bodies from the bottom of the river, and lifted the ladder used for siege out of the water, preparing to attack the north gate of Shengle City.

Unlike the situation at the East Gate, the North Gate is much tighter. The strength of the army was twice as large as that at the east gate. Among them, there were more than 100 soldiers stationed on the city wall alone.

A thousand Jin soldiers suddenly emerged from the bottom of the river and carried out a large number of ladders. Suddenly. There was a gurgling sound of water. This naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers defending the city, and when they heard the unusual movement of the river outside the city, they immediately looked up at the outside of the city. Suddenly, the soldiers of the Jin army who were preparing to attack the city were found.

"There is a sneak attack by the Jin army, prepare for war, prepare for war immediately." Seeing this, a junior colonel of the acting army shouted loudly.

Suddenly, more than 100 generations of soldiers on the city wall immediately rushed to the lookout of the female wall, bent their bows and arrows, and shot at the Jin soldiers on the bank of the river.

The main force of the Dai army inside the north gate heard the warning of the soldiers on the city wall, and immediately began to prepare for battle, preparing to reinforce the city wall.

Seeing that their surprise attack was discovered, a thousand Jin soldiers immediately launched an attack on the north gate wall of Shengle City, and the Jin soldiers at the front of the team immediately raised their shields to block the arrows shot by the soldiers of the Dai Army, behind the shield bearers, there were several rows of crossbowmen, and they immediately fired arrows above the city wall to counter the attack of the soldiers of the Dai Army, and in the later position, more than two hundred Jin soldiers carried the ladder and rushed to the city wall, and the last was a large number of infantry, ready to launch a siege along the ladder at any time.

Because the main force of the Jin army is in the direction of the south gate, therefore, a large number of military supplies of the Dai army are all piled up in the direction of the south gate, and there is not even the most basic rolling wood and stone on the north gate city wall, and the only thing that can be used for defense is the long and short weapons and bows and crossbows and arrows carried by the soldiers, therefore, the defensive ability is very limited, of course, the reason why the army of the country did not hoard a large number of military supplies in the direction of the north gate is to take into account the reality of the north gate direction, and think that the main force of the Jin army will not attack the north gate on a large scale, so there is no need to hoard materials at the north gate, It is enough to put more than a thousand soldiers in charge of the defense.

Since there were only more than 100 defenders of Daiguo above the city wall, after the Jin army crossbowmen launched a counterattack, they easily suppressed the arrogance of the Daiguo crossbowmen, thus covering the calm advance of the soldiers behind them.

Soon, thirty ladders successfully landed on the city wall at the north gate of Shengle City, and a large number of Jin soldiers climbed along the ladders to the city wall.

However, soon, the main force of the Dai army stationed near the north gate began to climb the city wall one after another, and greatly strengthened the defense of the north gate city wall.

Daiguo reinforcements began to gradually reinforce the city wall, and the Jin warriors outside the north gate suddenly became dangerous, but fortunately, the Daiguo defenders at the north gate did not have any heavy weapons, and the soldiers of the thousand Jin army were all elite soldiers in a hundred, and the weapons and armor were the most sophisticated, so as long as they worked hard to rush to the city wall, there must be hope of breaking through the north gate.

The soldiers of the Jin army followed the thirty ladders and soon climbed to the outside of the women's wall, and fought with the defending soldiers of the Daiguo through the women's wall.

Due to the gradual reinforcement of the Daiguo reinforcements, therefore, the Jin army soldiers could not easily attack the city wall, the soldiers in front were blocked outside the female wall, and the soldiers in the rear could not advance, and the battle fell into a stalemate stage for a while, and with the gradual reinforcement of the main force of the Daiguo, the situation of the Jin army outside the city became more and more dangerous.

After a fierce battle, both sides suffered casualties, but the Jin army and horses were never able to storm the city wall.

At the moment when the situation became more and more critical, the 1,000 soldiers of the Jin army who entered the city from the direction of the east gate rushed to the direction of the north gate, and immediately launched an attack on the defenders of the north gate of Daiguo from behind.

The soldiers of the Dai Army, who were responsible for defending the north gate, suddenly found that a group of men and horses of the Jin army were killed from the direction of the city, and they were immediately stunned, and the soldiers and horses of the Jin army suddenly appeared in the city, which is enough to show that the city gate was breached, that is, Shengle City is likely to have been lost.

At this time, the defenders of Daiguo in the direction of the north gate had completely lost the courage and confidence to resist, and they immediately gave up defending the north gate and fled in all directions.

The Jin soldiers and horses at the east gate immediately rushed into the north gate and slowly opened the city gate.

After the city gate was opened, the 1,000 Jin soldiers outside the north gate rushed into Shengle City, and joined with the 1,000 men and horses outside the east gate who entered the city, and then, 2,000 men and horses went to the west gate together, they wanted to join forces to break through the west gate, so as to receive the 20,000 reserve troops outside the west gate into the city, and finally launched a strong attack on the south gate with the strongest defensive strength of the army, and then completely broke through Shengle City, eliminated the main army of Tuoba Shi Yijian, and destroyed the country.

The two thousand Jin soldiers and horses were rampant in Shengle City, and they didn't even look at the occasional small-scale patrol of Daiguo, and killed them in the direction of the west gate as fast as they could.

At this moment, outside the west gate of Shengle City, the 20,000 reserve army under Xie Ai had been feinting for half an hour, and because they did not attack with all their might, the casualties were not very large.

However, the army of the Five Thousand Generations defending in the direction of the West Gate was pinned down here and could not move at all, which was a good way to share the pressure in the direction of the South Gate and relieved some of the pressure on Xie Ai's main army.

The elite men and horses of the two thousand Jin troops who attacked from inside Shengle City soon arrived at the west gate and immediately launched a fierce attack from behind the defenders of the Dai Kingdom.

The soldiers of Daiguo who defended the west gate of Shengle City had 5,000 men, but when they found that the elite of the Jin army was killing from the direction of the city, they all immediately lost the courage to resist.

They subconsciously thought that the direction of the south gate must have been breached, otherwise, how could the Jin army appear in their rear, and the south gate is the location of the main army of the country, if the south gate is broken by the Jin army, with thousands of men and horses at the west gate, there is no need to defend to the death.

The defenders of Daiguo, who were in fear, began to disorganize themselves, and as soon as the two thousand soldiers and horses of the Jin army began to attack, they began to disperse.

The 20,000 main soldiers and horses of the Jin army outside the city, seeing that the soldiers of the Dai army defending the west gate began to fall into a panic, they immediately understood that their surprise attack was already in place, so they immediately strengthened the attack in order to attack Shengle City as much as possible.

The soldiers of the Jin army attacked inside and outside, but the defenders of Daiguo had completely lost the courage to defend, so the direction of the West Gate was quickly broken by the Jin army.

At the moment when the city gate was opened, 20,000 Jin army reserve soldiers and horses rushed into the city one after another, while 2,000 Jin army elite men and horses had already launched an attack in the direction of the south gate.

After the 20,000 reserve corps of the Jin army entered Shengle City one after another, they also followed behind the 2,000 elite Jin troops and launched an attack in the direction of the south gate of Shengle City.

At this moment, in Shengle City, the news that the city has been broken by the Jin army spread rapidly, and the people in the city heard that the city had been broken by the Jin army, so they immediately packed up and were ready to escape from the city at any time, and even the men and women in the palace began to pack up and prepare to evacuate, especially the handsome female palace people, in order to prevent being bullied by the Jin soldiers, they touched their faces black.

Even the soldiers of the Jin army who defended the south gate quickly heard the news that the city had been breached, and Tuoba Shiyiqian, as the acting king, was naturally no exception.

After learning that the city was breached, Tuoba Shiyiqian's first thought was a rumor, he thought that the natural conditions of the east gate and the north gate were enough to block the attack of the Jin army, and the west gate would not be lost if there were five thousand defenders, and the direction of the south gate was under his nose, if the south gate was broken by the Jin army, he could know immediately.

However, soon, Tuoba Shi Yiqian realized that this was not a rumor at all, but a fact that had already happened, because the soldiers of the Dai Army patrolling in the city found the elite men and horses of the Jin army, and personally went to the south gate to report to Tuoba Shi Yiqian, and the outfit and number of soldiers and horses of the Jin army were described very clearly, so it was absolutely impossible to be wrong.
