"The whole army obeys the order, defends the city wall, and those who dare to take a step back will be killed!"

In the face of the family alliance army that almost went crazy, Chen Wu did not panic, issued a strict order in time, and made targeted deployments. More than 1,000 private soldiers from the families in the city wanted to rush up, but they could only reach the city through the stairs on both sides of the gate tower. As long as the Taiping army stubbornly holds these two points, it will be able to stand firmly in an invincible position.

Previously, Chen Wu and his team attacked the city, and they paid a huge price in the face of the officials and troops who had walls to defend. Tens of thousands of displaced people alone died, and a large number of siege equipment was used to barely break through.

Now, feng shui takes turns, and it is the turn of the rebels to enjoy the advantages of the city walls.

Although the combined forces did not need to work hard to build a slope, the preservation of the city walls still helped the rebels a lot. On the one hand, it limits the strength advantage of the coalition forces and makes it difficult for them to deploy them all; On the other hand, the rebel soldiers were condescending, and it was easier to fight, and the bed crossbow had been erected to the head of the city.

As the angle was corrected, the first batch of four bed crossbows opened fire first, killing six or seven of the Maison's private soldiers.

The volunteers of the engineering battalion in charge of the operation did not care about the results but saw the results, and quickly began to reload and wind up. But the number of the Saga coalition army was 1,400, and a few dead and wounded were nothing. Although the private offensive of the private troops rushing to the front was briefly frustrated, they were quickly re-killed under the impetus of the forwards.

Before all the bed crossbows of the rebels reached the head of the city and were attacked, the Saga coalition had a brief opportunity.

"Death to those who retreat!"

"Kill the thief!"

The elite of the Taiping Battalion and the private soldiers of the family shouted and brandished their swords for their own victory. It's more for his own life. Successive casualties. Let the corpses quickly pile up on the stairs to the city. Both sides had to push the bodies down the sides of the stairs. The warm blood flowed down the stone steps of the staircase, like a viscous river of blood, leaving bloody footprints on the soldiers who stepped on it.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Among the generals of the family, many are skilled masters of bows and horses. Maybe there is no tacit understanding between the specially trained infantry and bow battalions, but the individual archery skills are not bad. Seeing that the offensive would not be able to break through for a while and a half, the generals in the back of the house spontaneously drew their bows and arrows on their backs, and shot the rebels on the tower of the city gate with a bow.

Their appearance has increased the momentum of the coalition's offensive by three points.

Archers of the infantry battalion on the rebels' side. After two days of fierce fighting, it was almost scrapped. Without a few weeks of recuperation, it is difficult to exert the original combat power. The only group that could barely participate in the war was also mostly transferred to the Dongcheng side. All of a sudden, in the face of the family's archers, there was no good way for the rebels, and even the soldiers of the engineering battalion who operated the crossbow arrows were shot and killed several people one after another.

Almost by the time the second batch of bed crossbows was put into attack, a large section of the stairs on both sides of the city gate tower had already entered the hands of the family alliance.

The momentum of this offensive is most conspicuous in the two leading generals.

Led the attack on the west staircase. It was the general of the Shangguan family, that is, the one who was going to retreat before. Maybe it's to prove his bravery. His style of play is very ferocious, and the mace in his hand opens and closes widely, and his power is amazing. Although it was very depleting, it was extremely difficult to resist in such a small-scale battle, and in the blink of an eye, five or six Taiping Battalion soldiers were hammered to death.

Facing this fierce general, Chen Wu didn't speak, and looked at Wang Huifang with his eyes.

"Let so-and-so meet him!"

Soon, the elder asked Hua for battle, informed Wang Huifang and Chen Wu, and personally led people to greet him.

On the other side, attacking the stairs on the east side were Lin Yunwen, the eldest son of the Lin family, and his personal guard Lin Yunfeng.

The Lin family's private soldiers, of course, could not really let Lin Yunwen kill at the front, and almost surrounded him closely. The one who really rushed to the front to open the way was Lin Yunfeng, who was two meters tall and like an iron tower. This guy who is the first in the Lin family, holding a male and female double-strand sword in each hand, both offensive and defensive, swayed a series of snow-white sword lights one after another. It's like a slaughtering humanoid machine, wantonly harvesting the rebels of the Taiping Camp, and almost no one can survive three moves in front of him.

"Where is Dian Yong? Dare to fight! ”

In the face of this guy who is very famous in "Empire", Chen Wu has nothing to do, and he ordered the general Digong next to him.

"Why don't you dare! Let's go and take off his head for the general! ”

Dian Yong responded to the call, buckled his chest and saluted, and strode down the city gate tower with a steel gun.

From the earliest establishment of the Righteous Army in Changshan Town, Dian Yong was looking forward to the opportunity for the two armies to fight the enemy generals in front of the formation. However, Chen Wu's superb strategy has always made it rare for the rebels to encounter such occasions. Even if there is an occasional head-to-head battle, the Volunteer Battalion and the Taiping Battalion can basically win. Although this is a good thing, it gives Dian Yong a feeling that his skills are useless.

Now, that opportunity has finally arrived.

The first martial artist of the Wu'an Lin family!

He silently recited the other party's name, separated from the elite of the Taiping Army, who was already a little frightened, and stopped Lin Yunfeng who was killing Xing head-on.

A piercing clash of gold and iron rang out.

The male and female double-strand swords parried the steel spear just right, and feeling the power of the opponent's weapon, Dian Yong and Lin Yunfeng's bodies were shocked.

It's a worthy opponent!

After carefully looking at his opponent, Lin Yunfeng shouted, his voice was like thunder, and he took the lead in attacking. The double-strand sword in his hand only attacks but does not defend, and the sword does not leave the key point of Dian Yong. Dian Yong did not show weakness, the steel gun was picked, blocked, or stabbed, and occasionally seized the opportunity, so he relied on the defense of the chain mail on his body to resist Lin Yunfeng's sword, and took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The spear and sword light were intertwined, forcing the surrounding Taiping camp rebels and private soldiers to retreat five steps away.

This kind of general-level battle is not something they can interfere in.

"Good skill! I never expected that there would be such a good man in the bandit army. It's a pity that the pearl was cast into the dark, driven by thieves, and wasted this skill in vain. At the end of the battle, Lin Yunfeng's double swords retracted in front of him, exhaled a breath of white air, and asked Dian Yong in an attempt to provoke the other party.

Dian Yong was unmoved, shook the tip of the gun, and said contemptuously: "A martial artist of the Lin family, how do you know my lord's ambitions!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, and see the real chapter!"

Seeing that the other party was not angry, Lin Yunfeng shouted loudly and attacked again.

When the two of them were inseparable, Xiang Hua's side and the generals of the Shangguan family also made an equal difference. After the two generals went out at the same time, the offensive momentum of the Saga coalition army was blocked.

More bed crossbows, one after another put into shooting!

With the salvo of more than a dozen bed crossbows, the rebels' attack on the private army of the family was greatly strengthened. The soldiers of the Taiping Battalion, equipped with crossbows, also took turns to shoot forward, causing a large number of casualties to the private soldiers. The number of the family coalition forces that dare to attack at the expense of their bodies is rapidly decreasing.

This made Lin Yunfeng see it in his eyes and be anxious in his heart, he was eager to break Dian Yong's obstacle and attack the city.

At that time, the disadvantage on the side of the coalition forces will be much smaller.

It's a pity that Dian Yong was clear about his plan, and his marksmanship slowed down in time to stabilize the situation. The strength of the two is already between the best, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner if they don't fight a few hundred moves. When Dian Yong intends to fight steadily, Lin Yunfeng will not be able to break through at all for a while.

The family alliance army was stuck here, just a few steps away from the city, but they were never able to rush up.

"It seems...... It's time to make a move! ”

Seeing that the battle for Nancheng had reached the most critical moment, the Taiping army and the combined forces of the family were wrestling, and Yuan Xingwei, who had always been very patient, finally waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

More than 100 "officers and soldiers" who had either defected or disguised rushed from the direction of the governor's palace along Chengnan Avenue.

"Kill!"

"Don't panic, my lord, I'm waiting to come to help!"

These guys shouting vague slogans immediately chilled the hearts of the rebels in the city, and subconsciously thought that they were officers and soldiers who had rushed to reinforce them. The allied troops of the family who were caught in a bitter battle were in high spirits, although there were not many people, only a hundred, but their significance was heavy, and the boost to morale was immeasurable.

"Attack and defeat the thieves in one go!"

Lin Yunwen immediately realized that the time had come to drive Chen Wu out of Wu'an, which was perhaps the best and only opportunity since the start of the war. Don't hesitate to take risks yourself, and rush forward with the family around you.

However, the earth-shattering changes occurred when this group of "officers and soldiers" rushed to the back row of the family coalition army.

As early as when there were still more than a dozen steps between the two sides, some of the delicate-minded private soldiers of the family had already sensed that something was wrong. These "officers and soldiers" who came to support them ran too fast, and they did not stop trying to join them at all, but seemed to be coming straight at themselves. The eyes don't look right, full of malice and murder!

"Bad ......"

As soon as someone shouted out two words, they saw the reinforcements rushing into the back row of the family's private army, drawing their swords and facing each other.

I thought it was reinforcements, but most of the family's private soldiers were defenseless, not to mention a sneak attack from behind. Almost in the blink of an eye, the last row of the family's private army was cut down like wheat, and twenty or thirty people were killed in an instant.

"Qianyuan is dead, Taiping should stand!"

I don't know who raised their arms and shouted, and more than a hundred reinforcements all shouted the slogan of the Taiping Army. At this time, the surrounding officers and soldiers noticed that on the left arm raised like a forest, everyone was wearing a red scarf armband.

The sudden change stunned the family coalition forces.

What about the promised reinforcements? How did you turn into a desperate enemy army? In addition to these more than 100 people, are there any other officers and soldiers who have defected?

Panic, panic, uneasiness, and confusion quickly spread through the ranks of the coalition forces.

However, seeing the sudden increase in friendly troops, the various forces in the city were also dumbfounded.

"General Chen, you are so bitter about us."

Wang Huifang was the first to react, although he didn't know where Chen Wu had arranged another ambush, but the big stone in his heart was put down. At present, the situation is obvious, although there are only more than 100 "officers and soldiers" who sneak attack, they have cut off the retreat of the family alliance and formed a two-sided attack.

As long as the rebel army on the city wall holds out for a few more moments, the family alliance army will inevitably collapse on all fronts. (To be continued.) )
