Under the city of Tianlong. After Saladin made the decision to attack for three days at any cost, the Omani army, as long as it still had a certain combat effectiveness, was pushed to the front line of the battlefield.

The generals of the various departments, also under the temptation of the hereditary marquis of the first to enter Tianlong City, are ready to make immortal feats.

Almost early the next morning, a full-scale offensive could not wait.

This time, the surging offensive was not only aimed at the gap in the city wall that was blasted open by the catapult, but also the other sections of the city wall and the west of Tianlong City were also full of Omani soldiers.

As many as sixty ladders were lined up on the walls of Tianlong City, allowing countless Omani soldiers to join the ants and start a fierce battle with the soldiers defending the city.

For a time, swords and killings were everywhere.

The tragic process of the all-out siege of the city was beyond the imagination of both sides.

As early as a few days ago, the Tiannan Legion defending the city had used up the last batch of rolling wood and stone arrows in stock.

The soldiers, who had no choice but to pour boiling gold juice and boiling water, poured it down.

Although it made the city stench, the killing effect was really not bad.

Many Omanis who were recruited were directly scalded and peeled off, and their faces were covered with blood blisters.

In the current medical condition, it is basically equivalent to death.

It is worth mentioning that this kind of torture is more terrible than dying on the spot, and the injured are likely to struggle for days or even longer to scream before dying.

However, this means alone will not be enough to repel the Omanis.

More Omani soldiers climbed to the top of the city while the Tienan legionnaires counterattacked.

Although the first group of Omanis to come up were killed immediately after, and even fell off the city with forks by the defenders, after many days of fierce fighting, the Tiannan soldiers, who were already close to exhaustion, continued to shed blood and casualties under the attack of the Omanis.

As time passed, the two walls, especially the gap that had been blasted open by the catapult, began to be in full distress.

Of the ten divisions of the Tiannan Army, four divisions had already been severely damaged on the side of the Nanfeng Fortress.

After retreating to Tianlong City, the local guard troops were absorbed, and although they received some supplements, they were still far from the peak.

By the time the battle had been fighting, although the total number of troops was still as high as 40,000 or 50,000, most of the divisions and regiments had been completely broken up, and countless wounded had become remnants with empty numbers but little combat effectiveness.

Except for a part of the soldiers who were still holding on to the city walls, the only troops in the entire city that were still fighting were a brigade of the Second Division held by Leji, plus two wings that barely had some combat strength after the temporary reorganization.

These 6,000 people can be regarded as the last reserve of Leji.

As for the private soldiers of the powerful nobles in the city, it can still have a certain effect in the face of rebels of the level of the Taiping Army.

In a war between major powers, in which hundreds of thousands of troops are involved, the effect can be much more limited.

If Leji's troops can't hold Tianlong City, it won't help to let them go, and they can hold out for a few hours in front of the wolf-like Omani soldiers!

However, with only these 6,000 people, and supporting three directions at the same time, how long can it last?

Not to mention the full-scale siege of the two city walls, just the gap section that was blasted open by the catapult machine is a huge meat grinder battlefield - from the initial blast to the present, the gap has collapsed several times one after another, and now the width is close to forty meters, which is more deadly than the earthquake that sealed the city in Songjiang County.

A wing of 1,000 people was thrown in, but in just half a day, more than three or four hundred people were killed and wounded, and they were directly disabled.

In the face of this unprecedented attack, many Tiannan legionnaires came up with an idea: the Omanis are crazy!

Under the triple effect of Saladin's personal presence and the strict supervision of generals at all levels, and the huge rewards, the Omani soldiers, who were also exhausted, burst out with unprecedented energy today.

For the first time, the scales of victory were sharply tilted in favor of the Omanis.

It also made many middle and low-level officers of the Tiannan Army begin to doubt the victory of this battle.

When the night of the first day fell and the Omani forces were forced to withdraw, two or three thousand corpses were added to the entire city of Tianlong.

Blood flowed down the terrain into the moat, and at one point it even stained the water with discoloration.

However, now that the war has been fought, neither the Omanis nor the defenders of Tianlong have left the energy and leisure to clean up these corpses that are very likely to cause the plague.

Both sides are seizing every minute and second to rest and replenish the **** wound, waiting for the second round of tomorrow's fight!

In the night, several cavalry of the Taiping Army slipped over from the north of Tianlong City again.

After identifying himself to the defenders in the city, he approached Tianlong City.

Leji, who had just returned from a round of inspection, heard that Chen Wu's secret envoy had arrived, and he didn't bother to eat, or even to change out of the blood-stained general helmet on his body, so he walked in strides all the way.

Under normal circumstances, it is better for a civil official like Shi Xianqian or Yuan Xingwei to be the envoy.

But today is different, and the military affairs involving Tianlong City are undoubtedly more suitable for the military future, who is familiar with the military situation and can make accurate judgments.

Dian Yong, who is known as a general, has become the most suitable candidate.

On the other hand, as a former general of the Taiping Army, he can also show his respect for Leji when he comes in person.

After a not-so-short secret conversation, Le Ji had confidence in his heart.

……… The Omanis have not yet figured out the specific location of the main force of the Taiping army at this moment, but they can probably guess that the imperial reinforcements who attacked the Guqingguan grain storage point will not stop there.

If he could, Saladin really wanted to divide his troops and encircle Tianlong City on all sides.

But unfortunately, the current strength of the Omani army has been weakened by Yan Zòng, and this cannot be done.

The losses of the besieging side have always been much greater than those of the defending side, and one to three is a normal number.

The remnants of the Tiannan Legion inside the city were certainly battered and crumbling, and the Omani soldiers outside the city were also having a hard time.

If the troops are forcibly divided, tomorrow's siege will not only be affected, but part of the divided army may be eaten by the enemy's concentrated forces and night attacks.

In the current situation, Saladin thought that he could only compete with the group of imperial reinforcements: on the one hand, the black-clothed guards stepped up to send spies to try to determine the exact location of the Taiping army; On the other hand, the army intensified its siege on the second day.

The sky is bright again.

As the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded, the brutal death overture was sung again.

After a night's rest, the soldiers of the two countries, who had regained a little strength, fought together again under the supervision of the officers.

The Tiannan Legion has indeed reached the end of the crossbow.

Standing behind the battlements of the city gate tower and watching the battle, Le Ji clearly felt this.

For a long time, as one of the few elite and powerful troops in the empire, the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers of the Tiannan Legion far exceeded that of ordinary legions.

However, after experiencing the Nanfeng Fortress Battle and the Tianlong Siege Battle successively, to this day, for the first time, Leji has a large area of weakness and fear of war on the soldiers of the entire defense line.

It was a table after a long battle, both physically and mentally exhausted.

Although after Leji threw in almost all the reserves and forcibly blocked the Omani attack again, everyone had a realization in their hearts.

As long as the Omanis can continue this offensive, even if they can't take Tianlong today, the third day will surely be the decisive moment.

Maybe it's just that the city wall is lost, and the defenders in Tianlong City can still retreat to the streets and alleys of the city and the governor's palace to continue fighting, and it is possible to fight repeatedly for a few days or even a week.

But the Omanis are not stupid, as long as they break through the city wall at the last moment, the possibility of entering the city will inevitably change the original idea that may not be firm, and completely dispel the idea of retreating.

However, it was clear that the situation was critical, but a smile appeared on Le Ji's face.

As the commander of the Tiannan Army, he was certainly an old opponent hated by Saladin.

But the emperor of the southern kingdom, as well as the great general Yan Huahui, were not the enemies he hated.

Seeing the enemy kick them into the abyss when they were only one step away from victory, the feeling of trampling the old opponent under his feet once again made Leji very happy.

These Omanis outside the city obviously didn't know that just as this long day was about to pass, the main force of the Taiping army had secretly maneuvered to a distance of fifteen miles from Tianlong City.

This distance is already within the double reconnaissance range of the sentry and the black-clothed guards released by the Omani army.

But the problem is that after most of the day's fighting, the Omani soldiers are tired.

Moreover, according to what Chen Wu's secret envoy said yesterday, after the whereabouts entered the range that could be exposed at any time, the Taiping army would immediately accelerate and march straight to the north gate of Tianlong City.

Not to mention whether the Omanis still have the ability to intercept a force of 15,000 men, even if they can draw troops, it will probably be too late.

What's more, the timing of the Taiping army's choice was very good, and it happened to be dark when they arrived near Tianlong City.

Would the Omani army dare to rush out to intercept the Taiping army in the dark?

If it was the early summer of this year, more than 300,000 people would be like a rainbow, and when they set off from Coy Castle to the north to detain the pass, they might be able to do it with their military morale.

But now that the war has been fought for half a year, and the siege battles in recent days have been even more tragic and palpitating, in this case, neither Leji nor the generals of the Taiping army feel that the Omani army still has that ability.

The next development of the form shì was all expected by Chen Wu.

The black-clothed guards finally discovered the urgent news of the whereabouts of the main force of the Taiping army, and sent it back to Saladin's military tent.

But before Saladin could figure out which troops he could draw and send them to the north of Tianlong City to intercept them, the Taiping army had already approached the north gate of Tianlong City.

In order to meet this important reinforcement, Leji did everything he could to draw 5,000 defenders from all over the world, even if many were just a few wounded soldiers, and sent them out to meet the Taiping army.

The shape of the entire Tianlong City underwent a fundamental change overnight.
