For the people of the Qianyuan Empire, who regarded themselves as orthodox and masters of the Eastern Continent, the Kingdom of Oman and the Lena Dynasty were nothing more than some foreign vassal states. Especially the Kingdom of Oman, which has been surviving on the thighs of the empire before, has a full sense of superiority and pride.

Because of this, the soldiers of the empire could surrender to Chen Wu after losing to the Taiping army, but very few were willing to surrender to the Kingdom of Oman.

Although Cheng Jiaze has been in the Tiannan Army for many years and has worked hard to manage a group of subordinates, when it comes to colluding with the Oman Kingdom to deal with the empire, he is absolutely sure that there are still only six or seven henchmen who are pitifully recruited. The rest, almost all of them were comrades in the previous actions of embezzlement and reselling military funds, and they had no choice but to join after being blackmailed. Relying on these officers, Cheng Jiaze barely pulled up a team of less than half a unit.

However, at the right time, such a group of people is enough.

As the soldiers on duty at the head of the city were poisoned, the rebels who had assembled in advance quickly rushed out of the camp. Due to the cover of the night, coupled with Cheng Jiaze's advance arrangement, the journey was very smooth and did not arouse any suspicion. Soon, the rebels who climbed the wall of Jianhuangling, under the guidance of several rebels who had been planted at the head of the city in advance, began to attack those soldiers who had been poisoned.

At this time, there were already soldiers who had not yet fallen asleep who felt abnormal, but they did not realize the problem for a while.

Soon, Cheng Jiaze's rebels and infiltrated black-clothed guard agents quickly mastered a large section of the city wall, and then lit a raging bonfire.

In the darkness, the large bonfires at the head of the city were unusually conspicuous.

The soldiers of the 1st Guards Division, who had long been approaching this section of the city wall under the cover of darkness, couldn't help but be extremely excited when they saw the light of the bonfire. After the lights were lifted, countless torches were lit, dispelling the thick darkness in an instant, and under the dim light of the fire and the thin moonlight, they struck the city.

In the entire section of Jianhuangling, there is almost no city gate that opens to the south. Because of this, even if Cheng Jiaze and their rebels responded, there was no way to open the city gate and other means to let the army of the Kingdom of Oman enter. All they could do was to master a section of the wall, destroy the defending weapons on it, and then let the army of the Kingdom of Oman ascend to the top of the city and fight into the defense line of Jianhuangling.

At this time, if the defenders in other sections of Jianhuangling can't find the abnormality, they will be pigs!

First, the bonfire at the head of the city had already aroused strong suspicions; The moment thousands of torches were lit outside the defense line, the soldiers on duty at night immediately sensed the danger and began to give frenzied warnings. The rapid and loud sound of the bell, as well as the movement of the 1st Guards Division, woke up all the defenders within four or five miles of the vicinity.

The soldiers of the Tiannan Army stationed in Jianhuangling woke up from their sleep one after another and rushed to the city.

However, they were immediately attacked by once friendly forces!

A dozen people were shot and killed abruptly, and the remaining Tiannan legionnaires realized what had happened, and there were rebels inside them!

Although it was emotionally difficult to accept, the facts were in front of them, and there was no room for these soldiers not to believe them. As the two wing captains who did not defect to Cheng Jiaze led the team, the soldiers of the Tiannan Army immediately launched a frantic attack on the city. They had already heard the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps outside the line and the vibration of thousands of soldiers as they ran.

Everyone knows that the Jianhuangling defense line has ushered in a moment of life and death!

If this section of the city wall controlled by the rebels cannot be captured, the entire Jianhuangling section may fall.

Once the Oman Kingdom opens a gap here, the military strength of the Oman Kingdom will inevitably be able to severely damage the Tiannan Legion, and even collapse the entire Nanfeng Fortress!

At that time, the entire Tiannan County and even the three southeastern counties will be in no danger to defend, and all of them will be exposed to the soldiers and iron hooves of the Kingdom of Oman.

The hatred of the traitors, and the fear of that tragic future, led the soldiers to launch a frantic counterattack. But Cheng Jiaze's subordinates also knew very well that if they couldn't hold out to the army of the Kingdom of Oman, everyone involved in the rebellion would die, and they would die very miserably. They had no choice but to follow this path to the dark.

On the one hand, it will attack at any cost, and on the other hand, it can only defend to the end!

At both ends of the not-so-long wall, at least more than a thousand soldiers fought with the rebels. More Jianhuangling soldiers who rushed over were not unwilling to join, but they were also restricted by the terrain and could not deploy. I could only watch as hundreds of rebels formed a formation, taking advantage of the restrictions of the city wall to hold on.

Finally, the first Guards of the Kingdom of Oman rushed under the defense line of Jianhuangling.

As the trump card of the entire Oman Kingdom, the elite of the elite, the soldiers of the 1st Guards Division have a combat power comparable to the Tiannan Army, and even surpass. Saladin's reuse, along with the desire and glory to defeat the vast empire of the North, gave them all the strength to rush through this last stretch and erect the ladder above the city walls.

The thunderous blows that used to come close to two hundred paces did not appear.

Not just because of the cover of the night, but also because of the hundreds of inner responders on the city walls!

Attacking a city in the dark was an almost impossible thing for the vast majority of armies in the feudal era. The slightest problem could lead to the complete loss of formation and communication with the entire army, or even be defeated by a single charge. But this most elite guard happens to be one of the very few elite strong armies.

They received only one task, to go towards the fire and capture this section of the Jianhuangling defensive line.

No matter what it takes!

Even if the entire 1st Guards Division is wiped out, this gap must be defended!

"Quick, crush them!"

Hearing the sound of the ladder colliding with the city wall, and the light bands formed by the convergence of countless torches outside the city all poured under the city, the voices of the two wing leaders were almost crying, anxious, panicked, and almost desperately killed. Under the suicide attacks of many Tiannan legion soldiers, most of Cheng Jiaze's henchmen and rebels were wiped out in a very short period of time, and the defense line was forced back by nearly 100 steps little by little!

Even on the most tragic side of the Jade Mountain Battlement, there has never been such a bloody and white-hot bloodfight.

However, the last thing the defenders wanted came to pass. The soldiers of the 1st Guards Division, holding their knives in their mouths, quickly climbed up to the top of the city with their hands and feet. As the first captain turned over and jumped up, he yelled excitedly and rushed to reinforcements, the second and third ...... Dozens or hundreds of elite soldiers of the Kingdom of Oman rushed to the city wall!

Behind them, there are a whole thirteen thousand people!

Behind the 1st Guards Division, there are three more ace divisions!

Every minute that passed, more Omani soldiers rushed up to the city in the darkness of the night. In less than a quarter of an hour, the forces on both sides were completely reversed. The soldiers of the Tiannan Army stationed in this section were not excellent combat forces, and in addition, they were hit by the rebellion, and they lost a lot of combat power, and in the face of the strongest army of the Oman Kingdom that had been prepared, even if they used their strength, they could not stop their attack.

In the desperation of the defenders of the Tiannan Army, the walls occupied by the 1st Guards Division were steadily expanding.

At this moment, the shouting and killing sound had already torn through the night and shook the western defense line of the entire South Peak Fortress. It's just that, although they realized that there was a big problem here, they didn't receive an order, and they couldn't figure out the state at night, and they were worried that the enemy would just feint or attack the west, and the generals of these adjacent sections did not dare to rashly lead troops to rescue, so they could only quickly send multiple teams to investigate the situation while reorganizing the army.

Not long after, the distress workers in the Jianhuangling section came back with an urgent message.

Knowing that Cheng Jiaze's troops rebelled and responded to the siege of the Omani Kingdom's army, the faces of the generals in the surrounding sections all changed greatly. Realizing the severity of the problem, they spread the news further to Leji, and at the same time urgently mobilized the assembled army to reinforce in the dark. The 8,000 soldiers of the Tiannan Legion who rushed from both sides and the 13,000 men of the Guards Corps fought an unprecedentedly tragic battle near the Jianhuangling section!

Because they were on the defensive, coupled with their familiarity with the terrain, the soldiers of the Tiannan Legion still had a lot of advantages at night.

However, the 1st Division of the Guards is, after all, the most elite ace of the Kingdom of Oman. Under the strict order of taking a step back and killing all the staff, the soldiers of the 1st Division stubbornly held the two-mile-long defense line of Jianhuangling. No matter how the Tiannan Army attacked, it never gave up its position.

After countless sacrifices, it was finally dawn!

When the main reinforcements of the 1st Division of the Tiannan Army arrived with the shocked Lejiqin, the 2nd Guards Division, the 1st Light Infantry Division of the Chiang Mai Regiment, and the 2nd Heavy Infantry Division of the Kingdom of Oman, which were behind the 1st Guards Division, also arrived at the foot of Jianhuangling City as the second batch of attack teams.

Almost at the same time, the two sides of the hoplite division were engaged in repeated battles in the originally inconspicuous place of Jianhuangling, at the cost of blood.

In less than two miles, it changed hands four or five times at one time.

The battle was so fierce that it was enough to change the color of the most tenacious legion.

From the dawn of the day to the end of the day, the soldiers of the Tiannan Legion, who had shed blood, finally gave up the attempt to recapture this section of Jianhuangling, and slowly retreated to the direction of the Nanfeng Fortress From the beginning of the design, it took into account the situation that other sections would continue to hold on after a certain section was captured, so the Tiannan Legion still had enough support.

However, the originally solid defense line was finally opened by the Kingdom of Oman.

In the battle, the 1st Guards Division of the Guards, which served as the vanguard, lost 3,500 men in battle, more than 1,000 were seriously wounded or disabled, and almost everyone else was wounded, and almost half of the entire division was abandoned. In the ensuing day-long frenzied fighting, the Kingdom of Oman even added another 7,000 soldiers.

Since the beginning of the war, no offensive has paid such a heavy price.

The Kingdom of Oman, which was difficult to continue the lateral offensive for a while, had to temporarily stop the **** wound and wait for the arrival of the third batch of troops by the way.

The soldiers of the Tiannan Legion, who had also suffered heavy losses and had lost a section of the defensive line, also began to strengthen the adjacent defensive line in a mixture of grief and anger.

There are still fights to be fought.

Leji still has 100,000 soldiers in his hands, but for the first time, an ominous premonition of defeat rose in the veteran's heart!
