Chapter Seventy-Seven: Firelight and Candle Sky, Ups and Downs Siege City!(1)

"The city is about to be captured, the third column of infantry obeys the order, kill!"

An Quanfu, who was at the rear of the battlefield, was slightly happy when he saw that the army was approaching the city wall, but thinking of the hardships of the siege, he decided to send another army to take the city in one go.

The war is in full swing and then filled with blood and color,

Siege the city and add souls, thousands of corpses are built like towers!

Seeing that the enemy army had begun to climb the ladder, without Li Tang's reminder, Chang Shanjun, who had rich combat experience, began to throw stones, wood, and oil.

Hit by a stone, his head was broken and bleeding, he fell down the ladder, he was hit by a wood, he was hit in the chest, he was implicated in several people, he fell down the ladder, he was doused with oil, the ladder caught fire, and he screamed in pain.

"Fire Oil Attack Ladder!"

Seeing the effect of the fire oil, Li Tang ordered directly.

Hearing the prompt, all the captains immediately issued an order to let the fire oil focus on dealing with the ladders, and a large number of ladders were burned, emitting firelight, like a ribbon around the city.

However, the number of ladders was too large, and the limited amount of fire oil stored in the city of Middle-flow City was limited, and after burning dozens of cloud ladders, the fire oil ran out, and they could only continue to attack with stones and wood.

Looking at the enemy troops below, shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot, like ants, Li Tang asked, "Is the boiling water boiled?"

More than twenty minutes have passed since the order was issued, and the city of Muryu, which is full of firewood, has already been burned.

"My lord, it's already burned. The lieutenant said in a hurried tone.

This lieutenant is no longer the original lieutenant, the original lieutenant, when passing the order, was hit by an arrow, suffered a heavy injury, and is being rescued in a safe place.

"Well, carry the boiling water to the city walls and pour it down. Li Tang said coldly.

"Yes, my lord!"

After the captain finished speaking, he ran down the city wall again, sent someone to bring boiling water to the city wall, and then poured it down.

The boiling water was steaming, and under the light of the torches, it was steaming, and the two Changshan soldiers fell on the soldiers below as soon as they raised their hands.

"Ahh

The scalded soldier let out a scream of pain, a heart-rending pain, so painful that he was unconscious, and his body was quickly swollen, red, and rotten, very miserable.

"It works, keep boiling water!"

The captain saw that the scalded soldiers had no power to attack the city, and if they did not go all out to treat them, they would probably die of pain, so he immediately ordered to continue boiling water.

As the siege continued, gradually, a pile of corpses piled up under the city walls, and from time to time people could be seen falling, becoming lonely ghosts at the foot of the city walls.

The two sides were already exhausted, and under the fierce attack of the An family, after the Changshan army held on for more than an hour, the enemy finally waited for the city wall, dragging their tired bodies, and continued to kill the enemy.

"Hold on to me!"

Li Tang's face changed, and he immediately ordered, and he also drew out his war sword and killed the enemy who ascended the city, in just two minutes, his battle sword was already stained red with blood, and more than a dozen dead souls were added to his hand.

Compared with Li Tang's solemnity, An Quanfu was very happy, and excitedly ordered: "An guard, attack!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, thousands of people broke away from the formation, wearing black clothes and black robes, pulling out the crescent moon battle knife, with light steps and fast movements, turning into a gale, rushing towards the city of inter-streaming, and in the blink of an eye, it was close to the bottom of the city.

They are all the private armies of the An family, their strength has all reached the realm of martial arts, and their combat effectiveness is strong, and they are the most powerful army except for the wolf cavalry, not a lot of people, but there are more than a thousand people, and they are used rationally, like a sharp blade, inserted into the enemy's chest.

"Bloodcoat Guard, stop those men in black. ”

Seeing the strong strength of the An guards, Li Tang released a firework, and blood-red fireworks immediately appeared in the sky, which were very red and gorgeous, representing the blood-soaked blood-clothed guards.

I saw a strong wind, a phantom, and a white light, jumping out of the houses near the city wall, stepping on the roof, and quickly climbing the city wall.

"Poof!"

The guards of the An clan who climbed the city wall, after killing dozens of Changshan soldiers, were immediately stopped by the blood-clothed guards, and the splendid knife and the meniscus knife were in contact with each other, with the breath of cold wind and frost, and in one move, they pointed directly at the opponent's life, subverting yin and yang.

The two knives sound together, the silk and bamboo kill the dumb, the blood stains the red knife, and the soul of the person, you attack and defend on both sides, and it is difficult to give up the fight.

"Attack with all your troops!"

Looking at the fierce battle on the city wall, An Quanfu continued to order, in his opinion, it was only a matter of time before he broke through Jianliu City, and it was also safe to capture Li Tang alive.

"Kill!"

The remaining 60,000 troops, with a huge voice, roared an earth-shattering sound, which could be heard within a radius of ten miles.

Looking at the charging An army, Li Tang said with a smile on his face: "Calculate the time, Zilong should have arrived at the end of the ridge, and it's time to close the net." ”

I took out another firework casually, lit it up and rose into the sky, with a clear sound, the smoke and rain were white, blooming brilliantly, and it was very dazzling in the dark night.

"Squeak!"

The sound of pushing the door sounded in the city, and the 50,000 troops hidden in the houses in the city quickly gathered at the city gate through the quiet alleys, and rushed to the battlefield full of corpses.

After the capture of Pingjun, Li Tang secretly summoned 100,000 troops, and reduced this army to zero, lurking in important cities.

And Jianliucheng is one of them, because it is close to Anseong, it is of great strategic significance, so Li Tang ordered 50,000 troops to sneak in secretly to prepare for future wars.

"Not good!"

An Quanfu felt bad in his heart at the moment when the fireworks went up, and immediately looked at Li Tang on the city wall, the bloody armor, like the god of war in the world, and the cheeks under the dark gold helmet revealed tranquility, indifferent, as if the victory was in hand.

But it was obviously too late, and the gates of the city were wide open, and from inside rushed a black torrent, like a sharp sword, which was stuck in the middle of the An army, causing great damage.

"Master, there is an ambush in the city, let's withdraw quickly!"

The soldier who had broken away from the battlefield said anxiously, his tone was full of horror, and his body trembled a little.

An Quanfu's face turned cold, he took out the sword he was wearing, cut the soldier's neck, and said loudly:

"Disturb the morale of the army, slash!"

Then he said loudly: "Li Tang has risen for a year, how can he mobilize a large army at any time, and the city is a middle city, the space in the city is limited, it is absolutely impossible to have a large number of troops, give the order to beat the drum, and continue to attack the city!"

After the military order was delivered, the drums sounded, and the An army regained its composure and continued to kill the enemy.

Regarding the layout of the forces on both sides, An Quanfu guessed correctly, Li Tang's army was indeed not as large as his army, but he misjudged one point.

Li Tang didn't want to defeat them, just to delay time, and it wasn't a matter of time for him to break through Anseong.

The city gate is slaughtered, and the two armies are in a game;

Death grieves and resents, and blood nourishes the flowers on the other side!

Li Tang couldn't withdraw his troops for defense, because he had to delay time for Zhao Yun, and An Quanfu couldn't withdraw his troops either, he threw away 100,000 loads of grain and grass as bait, just to take Jianliu City, how could he say that he would withdraw!

Just when the two of them were consuming each other and fighting in the city for days, Zhao Yun finally led the army to the Zhijing Ridge!
