Chapter 403: Siege
It is said that when the Hongdu City Lord's Mansion was celebrating, those Hongdu City soldiers who were guarding the city were naturally a little relaxed, although they were nervous for two days, and the defense was very tight at night, but the army of Chelong Kingdom outside the city had not attacked the city for two days, which made them naturally slack, because there was another day, and the reinforcements could arrive, and they naturally didn't have to be afraid of anything at that time.
Therefore, although the soldiers on duty at night were arranged, they were inevitably slack and lazy, you must know that the generals who led the troops and the powerful people in the city were all happy in the city lord's mansion, which made these defenders willing to seriously carry out military orders.
This is also to blame that this spar rule is too powerful, it is a country full of overlords in this western region, no country dares to invade it, and naturally let these defenders be able to fly and dominate in peacetime, and even the army outside the city dares to relax.
Of course, in the eyes of these soldiers, if the army outside the city really attacked the city, they had no way to defend it, after all, although the city lord's personal guard was elite, it was only 30,000, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses were not able to be used at all.
Therefore, their slackness is understandable.
Therefore, under such slackness in the guards of the city, it was only the nine scouts who could enter the predetermined place so easily and complete the ambush, and once the time came, they could easily cause chaos in the city and create extremely favorable conditions for the siege of the army.
At this time, the Ganning army outside the city, the 100,000 army quietly ambushed ten miles away, and there was no fire. This is also the strategy of the backbone of the soldiers with the army of Che Longguo, so that the army can be under strict organization, otherwise in the case of blind fire in the black light, it is already good not to cause chaos, and there is still the strength to siege the city.
And it is precisely because of the existence of this warrior skeleton and the professional quality of the Chelong Kingdom army that it can be done so far.
At this time, Gan Ning stared at Hongdu City extremely nervously, he knew that this was his most important battle, once he succeeded, then he would have made a great contribution. And the gap with those veterans will be quickly approached, and if he has military exploits, then his army can be replenished. This is naturally extremely important to Gan Ning.
With the strength of Gan Ning. Once it is possible to get more troops. He believed that he must be able to show great ability, and he would not be weaker than any general.
Of course, once he fails, then he will suffer heavy losses, not to mention his status in Ding Yuan's heart, it will inevitably be greatly reduced, so this battle is an extremely important battle for Gan Ning, so he can't believe in prudence!
But what reassures Deganning is that. Everything is normal in Hongdu City now, and he hasn't strengthened his defense or anything, which makes him feel more confident in his heart.
100,000 troops, military discipline is very strict. Not a single soldier made a riot, they all waited quietly, waiting for the time to attack the city, they had already slept enough during the day, so they did not feel tired at this time, but because they had to complete such an important task now, everyone was very excited.
You must know that under the military system of Chelong Kingdom, all soldiers are very eager for war, because this represents an opportunity to establish military merits, as long as they have military merits, then they can get enough glory, and even their families will live a better life because of this.
Whether it is for themselves or for their families, it can be said that these soldiers are eager for war and eager to establish meritorious deeds!
It can be said that it has become famous in the bones of every soldier of Chelong Country, so that they will not be afraid of war, but will be excited and excited when they encounter war, because this is the time for them to establish military merit and glory!
At this time, they got Huang Zhong's military order, and the soldiers who joined Gan Ning's army did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, they admired Huang Zhong and hoped to be led by Huang Zhong, but Gan Ning's commanding ability and the quality of Gan Ning's soldiers also made them recognize Gan Ning's command.
Time passed minute by minute, the night became more intense, and the moon gradually obscured the dark clouds, but all of this did not stop the soldiers' fiery fighting spirit, but became more excited.
Because the night is dark, this is the best time to attack the camp, the moon is dark and the wind is high, when people are killed and set on fire, this sky is the best time to attack the camp!
Just when the soldiers were waiting excitedly, after finally calculating the time, Gan Ning exhaled slightly, a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and immediately he summoned the herald and said: "Let all the soldiers get ready, the time for the siege is coming!" ”
Hearing this, dozens of heralds rushed out and quickly gave orders to one person after another.
The 100,000 army, because it was in the dark of night, could only rely on the heralds to issue combat orders, and with Gan Ning's ability, it was naturally only arranged in an orderly manner, and there was no confusion at all.
And at this time, it is the best time to issue a military order, because when the army has completed its mobilization, then it is the time to send troops!
An hour later, the army was all ready for battle, just waiting for the signal in the field to come, and the way of the signal was very simple, naturally it was a fire, the fire not only represented the signal of the attack, but also showed that the scouts in the city had completed their task, causing chaos in the city, and it was a good time to attack!
Gradually, the 100,000-strong army is all ready, ready at any time, once the fire rises into the sky, it will be under the leadership of Gan Ning to attack the city!
Finally, when the night was dark and thick, suddenly in the red capital city, nine places burned at the same time, and suddenly the city was chaotic, and the soldiers guarding the city suddenly panicked, because at this time, the fire suddenly burned, and everyone would have a bad premonition!
Sure enough, with the burning of the fire, countless houses in the city began to burn down, and countless people shouted and ran wildly, and at this time, Gan Ning outside the city was overjoyed, and at that moment was an order, his vanguard troops immediately took action, and those troops behind him immediately followed the trend and rushed towards the Red Capital City!
"Kill!"
Shouts of killing rang out. The 100,000 army was dispatched quickly, and the soldiers defending the city at the head of the city felt the feeling of shaking the mountains for a while, and then saw an amazing scene, countless armies, coming towards the red capital city.
"Enemy attack!"
At this time, the defenders didn't know what was going on, and they were extremely panicked, yelling, and panicking.
And the chaos in the city made countless people panic, and at the same time, it also alarmed the city lord's mansion. and the general of the garrison.
At this time, the city lord of the Red Capital City had just been awakened from his sleep, and he didn't have time to get angry, and he didn't dare to be angry, he knew that there was chaos in the city now. What does this mean, it means that the army outside the city may have discovered the reality of the Red Capital City. This made his fat face full of cold sweat. Because he knew that once the army outside the city attacked the city, it would be at this time, and it would be the context of the red capital city, which made him not panic.
"Someone, come on!"
Soon, in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, countless officials and generals arrived. At this time, these people were all flustered, because they knew what the chaos in the city represented now.
"Qiu Scheme!"
The city lord's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly.
At this time, Naqiu planned to shout in his heart that it was not good. But at this time, he had no choice but to stand up with his head stiff and said respectfully: "Lord of the City! ”
"Say, what's going on in the city, didn't it make you tighten the control in the city, what's going on now?"
The city lord can be said to be quite angry at this time, and he even has a bad premonition in his heart, this premonition makes him feel a sense of impending disaster, so he asked excitedly at this time.
"Lord of the Castle!"
That Qiu Jihua's face was also in a cold sweat, because he knew that if he didn't answer well, it would be a matter of losing his head, but he still stubbornly said: "Don't worry, Lord City, there must be no big deal, organize people to extinguish the fire, when there is no problem, the weather has been dry recently, and it is very normal for such things to happen!" ”
"Yes, the city lord doesn't need to panic, I have already sent troops to organize the fire extinguishing, there should be no big problem!"
As if to comfort himself, the general also stood up and spoke.
"That's good, that's good!"
The city lord seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly said.
However, the atmosphere in the hall at this time became more solemn, because everyone knew where the general was just now, and there was a possibility of sending troops, so it was just comforting.
And at this time, suddenly a guard ran in in a panic and said loudly, "No...... Oh no, the city ...... The army outside the city is besieging the city! ”
"What!?"
Hearing this, the city lord felt dizzy at the moment, forcibly stabilized his mind and shouted loudly.
"Castle Lord...... Lord of the city, the army outside the city is attacking the city! ”
The herald spoke again, and there was a cry in his voice, for he knew what it would mean if the army outside the city attacked the city!
"Someone's coming!"
The city lord was terrified at this time, and hurriedly shouted.
When even a guard rushed in.
"Take Qiu Moumou and the others down for me to watch!"
The city lord's eyes showed a fierce look at this time, because he was already a little crazy at this time, if the army outside the city attacked the city, he would be the first to die, so the city lord at this time could be said to have hated this Qiu plan.
"Let's go, general, let's go out together, defend the city, no matter what, even if it is to capture a strong man, you must defend this city for me!"
The city lord is already completely crazy at this time, his life's wealth is in this city, once the city is broken, then I don't know if he will die or not, but his wealth will definitely be unprotected, for people like him who regard wealth as life, those wealth is his lifeline, and the root of life is gone, which is more painful than letting him die!
When the general heard this, he was trembling, and he immediately did not dare to slack off, so he took a group of generals to accompany the city lord, and the officials who left a place were frightened at this time, and they didn't know what to do!
At this time, Na Changshi stabilized his mind, and when he saw the herald who was trembling with fright, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed the herald and shouted urgently: "Is the army outside the city attacking the city from all sides, or only attacking one side!" ”
"East ...... Attacking from the east, the others...... Didn't see it anywhere else! ”
When the herald saw that it was the number two person in the city, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said.
The long history put down the herald and rushed out at an extremely flexible speed, and the other officials in the hall were not stupid when they saw this, and immediately rushed out, and they were all gone.
At this time, the city lord was already completely crazy, he kept sending troops to recruit strong men, asking them to defend the city, although he knew that relying on these rabble, it would never be able to hold the city, but the city lord just felt that there were more people and seemed to be more powerful, and subconsciously caught these strong men.
"Kill!"
Gan Ning led the army, quickly rushed forward, although there were arrows at the head of the city along the way to suppress, but fortunately, under the panic of these defenders, there can be any accuracy, the arrows shot are weak and weak, and there is not much damage at all, which makes Gan Ning overjoyed, and quickly organized archers to shoot back, and he is with the most elite soldiers and horses, directly in a group of two with a ladder, that is, he wants to rush to the city, now is a rare good opportunity, at this time the chaos in the city, so that the defenders are panicked, not to mention the combat effectiveness, Moreover, due to the lack of troops, the entire city head could not make an effective defense at all, so that Deganning's breakthrough speed was very fast.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The army under the city, shouted loudly, they are the most elite soldiers, the morale is extremely high, at this time found the weakness of the enemy, there is not a chance to seize the opportunity, the moment is to yell the siege of the city, the archers under the city are also extremely fierce shooting, for a while, the counterattack above the city is suddenly greatly reduced, which makes the morale of the soldiers even higher!
"Die!"
Finally followed the ladder, Gan Ning first rushed to the head of the city, and immediately ordered the steel spear to attack quickly, quickly killing a few infantry who fought back, and cleared a large open space at once!
At that moment, a succession of soldiers ascended to the top of the city, and at once they engaged the soldiers of the city.
At this time, after Gan Ning swooped left and right, and after cleaning up a safe place, he muttered to himself with joy on his face at the moment: "The troops in this city are really empty, so let's send a signal, maybe by the time General Huang Zhong attacks the city, this Dongcheng land has already been captured by our army!" ”
With a muttering mouth, Gan Ning touched his left hand into his waist, and threw it into the sky, and suddenly a white light rose to the sky...... (To be continued......)
