Chapter 806 Huang Zhong attacked the palace

Under the city, there were finally human figures in the distance, and then more and more, and finally they came like blue locusts. This is an army of half a million Rus' led by Yesenin.

The time has come for Zhang Chao, the emperor who originally blocked the Celestial Empire, to show his skills since Ye Sening, but he never expected that with 600,000 troops, he did not take advantage of the 200,000 troops of the Celestial Empire, not to mention, he also lost nearly 100,000 troops, and finally had to withdraw first.

This result was too unexpected, but Ye Senin had to accept everything. After all, it is much more important to protect the life of Prince Ivan than to kill the emperor of the Celestial Empire.

Traveling all the way, he came to the downstairs of Pahan City, and after seeing from a distance that the banner on the tower of the city had been replaced by the banner of the Black Dragon of the Celestial Empire, Ye Senin knew that a bitter battle could not be avoided.

"Come on, send infantry to charge the city, I want to see how many enemies there are here." Ye Sening, who had not yet figured out the strength of the Celestial Empire's defense of the city, decided to give it a try first and test the Celestial Empire's strength and combat power.

Under the order, the Rus' army of 10,000 infantry lined up, took the ladder, and began to attack the top of the tower.

The trumpet of the siege was blown at the moment, and for a time the drums of war were beating under the city, and the sound was like thunder.

In the early morning, in front of Phra Han Castle, you can still see the presence of dew on the city wall, because it is morning, and the temperature of the weather is still a little cold. But these did not affect the armies of the two sides attacking and defending the city in the slightest, and when everyone was playing with their lives, let alone say that the weather was a little cold, even if it was a cold winter? It's still going to be ignored.

As the charge of the Rus' army began, the walls of Pahan City became "lively", and at the same time, a bloody aura rushing into the sky began to spread over the entire tower. The shouts, the clash of weapons, and the sounds of fighting were incessant, as if life was passing away in it every moment.

The siege of the Rus' army was fierce. After initially sending 10,000 soldiers to test and learn that the number of Celestial Empire troops in the city was not very large, General Yesenin chose the method of all-out attack. He sent more soldiers to attack the towers, and at the same time increased the force of ramming the gates with his carts below the city.

"It's all about..."

Under the heavy impact again and again, the gates of Pahan South City have begun to crumble, as if they may be knocked open at any moment.

General Song Quan on the city tower looked at this scene, with an anxious look on his face, no one knew better than him how much strength the defenders in the city still had. In order to cope with the siege of the Rus' army, he had sent ninety percent of his troops under the tower, but only one regiment of 2,000 soldiers was defending the entire city gate.

It is conceivable what the outcome would have been if the city gate had been breached. It is obviously unrealistic to point to a regiment of soldiers blocking the thousands of troops of the Rus' country.

"Come on, throw the prepared explosives at me under the city gates, I'm going to blow them up and make them pay a heavy price." Song Quan had a resolute look on his face, and gave military orders to the soldiers around him.

A note of the explosives that ignited the fuse was thrown from under the castle tower. For the armies of other countries, it may feel that explosives are still very novel, but for the Celestial Empire armies who have used it many times, it is commonplace to play with this thing. They lit the fuses one by one, and did not rush to throw them down the tower, but waited for the fuses to burn to the end before throwing them towards the city, which allowed the explosives to play an important role in the first place.

"Boom, boom..."

Under the loud noise, the Rus soldiers who were attacking the southern city gate paid a heavy price, many people's limbs were blown apart, and the city gate crisis was resolved.

Seeing that the explosives were powerful, and they had lost nearly a thousand people in a while, Ye Senin's eyes were full of blood-red color. "Order, at the siege gates. Even if they had used all the explosives, the forces there should be the weakest, and even so, the onslaught. ”

For control of the city, the two sides launched a battle of flesh and blood, life and death.

The sun finally set, and in the evening, the battle subsided. And it was just a day, and the entire city of Phra Han was sprinkled with blood everywhere, and the smell of the breeze alone was enough to make him nauseous.

After a day of fierce fighting, Song Quan tapped his own losses on the city tower, and from time to time threw some corpses belonging to the Rus soldiers down from under the city tower.

As a result, after more than an hour, the original 20,000 defenders were killed in a single day's defense, of which more than 1,000 survived, more than 1,000 were wounded and could not fight, more than 2,000 were wounded and barely able to fight, and countless were slightly wounded.

At the end of just one day, the army lost half of its combat strength, which made Song Quan worry about whether he could hold the city for two days. However, he now has no way to retreat, and from the moment he agreed to Commander Huang Zhong, his fate seems to have been sealed.

Also outside the city, Ye Sening, who had attacked the city for a day, also had a very bad face.

After a day's siege, the statistics were also calculated. 12,000 were killed and thousands wounded.

This number is nothing to Yesenin, who has an army of more than 500,000 troops. But he was angry that it was true that the city was not captured, that is, at this moment, there was a little more threat to the life of Prince Ivan, which he could not allow.

"No, you can't wait any longer, tell the soldiers, rest for a night tonight, and tomorrow, no matter what the price is, you will take the city, and you can't delay it." Yesenin gave military orders to several generals around him.

The time of the night passed quickly. After resting on both sides, after breakfast the next morning, a new battle of life and death began. And this battle is even more tragic and tragic than the first day. There are more than 10,000 soldiers of the Celestial Empire, after using all their strength and the cooperation of explosives, they finally succeeded in holding on for another day, but at this time, there are no more than 1,000 people in the city and under the city.

Looking at these subordinates who only had a thousand soldiers, Song Quan, who had three wounds on his body, shed tears. He knew that the task of defending the city for three days could not be completed no matter what, and the only thing he could do was to delay one more day, he just hoped that the progress on the side of Commander Huang Zhong would be faster.

The Rus' army outside the city was indeed demoralized in comparison. Because it was dark that Pudding and Terekin arrived here with an army of 500,000 men.

In the first battle of Dahu Mountain, Pudding originally had an army of 600,000, but after several battles, the damage was not light. Fortunately, the main force was especially there, and more importantly, he broke away from the encirclement of Zhang Chaotian's army and rushed to the city of Pahan City in time.

As soon as the forces of the two sides converged, the strength of the Rus' army reached nearly a million people.

With a million against a thousand, one can imagine how easy it would be to storm the city. Of course, how many Celestial Empire troops there were in the city, even General Yesenin didn't know after two days of fighting, otherwise, he would not be waiting for this night, but would have launched an attack overnight.

When General Pudding arrived with his army, the two men joined forces together, and at the same time agreed to rest for the night, and to storm the city early tomorrow morning, and it was certain that the city would be taken.

And at this moment, when Yesenin and Pudding were resting or even falling asleep, the commander of Huang Zhong's army had already come to the palace of Prince Ivan with an army of 80,000 overnight, and launched a fierce attack at night.

It had been a few days since the raid on the city of Phrakhan. Commander Huang Zhong did not have a good rest once. Even if he sleeps, a day is just over an hour, which directly causes his eyes to be red, a picture of lack of sleep.

But despite this, there was no hint of wanting to rest on his face at this moment, although he was very tired and his face was tired, but his eyes were indeed very bright, all because Prince Ivan was opposite him, in the palace that seemed to be just a small city.

"Plant the explosives, blow up the city gates, and the cavalry prepare for a surprise attack." Huang Zhong, who arrived in a hurry, didn't dare to rest too much, for him, time is life now, and time is the guarantee of victory.

With the military order, the soldiers below began to get busy. Under the slogan of rushing to the palace for dinner, 80,000 soldiers endured the suffering of a day's unfinished rice grains and began the siege in the middle of the night.

"Boom, boom!" Bundles of explosives were ignited, and the gates, which had been originally intended as a palace and not a heavy city, were quickly blown open, and then 80,000 cavalry rushed in.

The Celestial Empire Iron Cavalry attacked the city overnight, which was not thought of by the Rus soldiers in the city, or they ignored the power of explosives, originally thought that it was only cavalry, and the siege ability would be lacking, but until the city gate was completely blown open, they knew that in the face of powerful advanced weapons, the previous combat thinking also needed to be changed.

The cavalry entered the city, and the Rus' soldiers guarding the palace were taken by surprise, and when they picked up their weapons from the barracks and prepared to resist, countless black-clothed cavalry appeared in front of them, and they were killing with their long knives and halberds in their hands...

It was destined to be an extraordinary night, and it was also a night full of blood.

By the time dawn came, the brave General Huang Zhong had already entered the camp with his cavalry, and most of the Rus' soldiers who had survived here were also annihilated.
