After three days, Lin Haotian received a message from Fu Tao and the others, saying that he was ready in the city and waiting for the arrival of the Jin army soldiers at any time.

At this time, Lin Haotian no longer hesitated, raised his account in the Chinese army's tent, transferred troops and sent generals, and prepared to attack Ningyang with all his might.

This time, there were three outsiders in the big tent of the Jin Army, Fu Tao, Lin Chao and Yu Zijing.

After all the generals arrived, Lin Haotian left his seat, walked to the central sand table, casually pulled out his saber from Cheng Jin's waist beside him, pointed to the city built in the sand table, and said: "Today, our army will attack the city, only succeed, not failure, no matter how much it costs, we must give me a break through Ningyang in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, my lord!" Lin Haotian's arrow wound had healed, and the generals were full of confidence and high morale.

Lin Haotian tapped Dongcheng with the tip of his knife and said, "This time, I will personally lead the army and attack Dongcheng!" After a pause, he turned his head sideways and said, "Song Yu and Yang Xiu listen to the order!"

"The last general!" Song Yu and Yang Xiu stepped forward and intervened to give a salute.

"The two of you led the 20,000 troops under your command to attack the northern city, the enemy is weak, you and others will attack strongly, and the enemy is strong, and you will feint and act at the opportunity. ”

"The last general obeys!"

"White phosphorus, Wu Tao obey the order!"

"The last general!"

"The two of you led the 20,000 troops under your command to take the initiative to Xicheng, and they also acted on the opportunity. ”

"The last general obeys!"

Seeing that Lin Haotian had assigned the task of attacking Ningyang in three directions, and had not yet pointed it on his head, Zhang Bufan was in a hurry, stepped out of the ranks, first intervened to give a salute, and then nodded his nose back, and said, "My lord, what about me?"

Lin Haotian smiled at him and said, "Extraordinary." You're the next one, you're the real main attack in this battle!"

Hearing this, Zhang Bufan's face suddenly showed joy.

Lin Haotian asked, "How many soldiers do you still have?"

Zhang Bufan thought for a while, but did not answer.

Jin Cheng, who was his lieutenant general, saw Zhang Bufan's embarrassment, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Hui, our department suffered more than 1,000 casualties when attacking Shanliu Town. It does not affect the combat strength of the whole army. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Bufan immediately continued: "There are nearly 20,000 soldiers below, which is enough." ”

Lin Haotian shook his head secretly, Zhang Bufan's bravery doesn't need to be said, but he is too careless to become the commander of an army, like Sima Changren, that is, a talent who is brave and strategically outstanding is too rare, and it is impossible to meet it.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Extraordinary. I will give you another 50,000 soldiers, and you and General Jin Cheng will attack Nancheng. In addition......" As he spoke, he looked at Fu Tao, Lin Chao and Yu Zijing, and continued: "These three knights will help you. ”

When he first entered the big tent, Zhang Bufan had already looked down on Fu Tao and the three of them in civilian clothes, and after knowing that they were all chivalrous, he didn't care about it, he asked, "My lord." What can they do for me?"

Before Lin Haotian could speak, Fu Tao had already preemptively said flatteringly: "The inside should be the outside." For General Zhang to successfully break the city, we will dedicate our modest efforts. ”

"What do you mean?"

"We have already arranged more than 100 subordinates in Ningyang City, all of whom are masters of underworld martial arts, when General Zhang is attacking the city, they will suddenly attack the defenders in the city and disrupt the defenders' city defense!"

"I see. Zhang Bufan smiled and didn't say anything more.

Lin Haotian finished arranging everything that should be arranged. Then he took a deep breath, waved his arm, and shouted: "The whole army will attack and attack Ningyang!"

"Yes, sir!"

The generals intervened and gave the salute, and each took his own order.

The Jin army has been under the city of Ningyang for many days. Inside the city, tens of thousands of defenders led by Cao Xiong, the head of Wangfeng County, were already ready for battle, and the city was full of rolling logs, bundles of arrows, and boiling oil, and in the city, trebuchets were ready to go. In addition, Cao Xiong also recruited many knights from the wood in the city and asked them to assist in defending the city.

With Ningyang's current defense, it can be called an ironclad, but Cao Xiong has calculated everything, but he didn't calculate that there would be internal problems in him.

With the beating of the war drums of the Jin army's camp, tens of thousands of Jin troops poured out of the camp in a neat phalanx.

The most difficult thing was the east of the city where Lin Haotian was located, and he took the lead in sending the Fifth Legion commanded by Ling Hugao to the battlefield, and used the Fifth Legion to test the reality of the other party.

The Fifth Legion is basically a wooden man, and the training time is not long, and the queue has not even been completed, let alone siege experience and fighting skills.

When the Fifth Army advanced to a place about 500 meters outside Ningyang City, the hard archers in Ningyang City began to take the lead, and at the same time, the trebuchets in the city also operated, and for a while, dense arrows flew over Ningyang City, which was also mixed with boulders hanging with whirring winds.

The arrows were fired into the Fifth Legion, almost without missing a shot, and all the branches could hit the target, and the boulder smashed into the crowd, and the moment it fell, it could crush two or three people, and then roll in the crowd, and more dead and wounded were affected by it.

The officers and men of the Fifth Legion were dazed by the sudden attack of the defenders in the city, and in the camp, there were screams and screams, and people shouted and neighed.

At the same time as the Fifth Army launched an attack, the three-way wind army stationed in the north, west, and south cities also began to attack in unison.

The 20,000 army led by Song Yu and Yang Xiu mainly attacked the northern city of Ningyang, and like the eastern city, as soon as they approached Ningyang, they suffered a fierce counterattack from the defenders at the head of the city.

Lin Haotian explained, let them fight if they can, and adopt feint tactics if they can't fight, but Song Yu and Yang Xiu made meritorious contributions, and immediately handed down the death order after going to the battlefield, the whole army can only advance, not retreat, and if there is fear of the enemy, kill it!

When the defenders counterattacked, the 20,000 Jin troops did not retreat but advanced, charging forward regardless of life and death, and Song Yu and Yang Xiu took the lead and rushed to the front.

Finally through the arrow array and falling rocks of the wooden army, rushed to the city wall, and more arrows, rolling wood and stones, and fire oil flew down from his head.

But here, the Jin army has been able to shoot back at the city, the two sides come and go, carving Ling shuttles back and forth in the air, and the sound of armor breaking and screaming after being hit by the arrow rises and falls one after another in the city.

Beicheng killed fiercely, Xicheng is much more peaceful, the main attack on Xicheng is Bai Phosphorus, Wu Tao two, they strictly follow Lin Haotian's orders, see the counterattack of the wooden army in the city is too fierce, the two led the army outside the city is to do heavy thunder, no rain, 20,000 soldiers shouted to kill wave after wave, but just do not see it take half a step.

The offensive on the southern side of the city was even more fierce than the northern city or even the eastern city, Zhang Bufan and Jin Cheng commanded 70,000 troops and horses, and launched a sharp onslaught on the southern city of Ningyang.

Zhang Bufan didn't know what the art of command was, he had only one principle, the whole army followed him to charge, charge, and charge, when he completely crushed the enemy in front of him, when he would charge to the end.

On the battlefield, Zhang Bufan's bravery can indeed drive the morale of the whole army, he doesn't care about others at all, he just rushes forward with full strength, the falling stones come, he splits the stones with his sword, and the arrow array comes, in order to release the broken arrow array, and the broken arrows and broken stones are scattered all over the ground.

With such a brave and invincible general charging in front, the fear of the soldiers behind naturally decreased, and they tried their best to follow Zhang Bufan and press forward.

Zhang Bufan was the first to attack the city of Ningyang, because the soldiers behind him had not come up, he couldn't find the ladder, so he simply carried a gun in one hand and grabbed the stones of the city wall to climb up.

But he climbed fast, fell fast, in the face of a person like him who climbed the wall, the defenders' firepower was concentrated on him alone, there were rolling logs and stones on his head, and there were dense and continuous arrow rains on both sides, Zhang Bufan often couldn't even climb half of the city wall and was smashed down alive.

He has a spiritual energy to protect his body, and he is not afraid of falling, but the people who are already angry under the city are screaming, and from time to time they roar loudly at the soldiers who are still charging behind, so that they can hurry up.

People secretly complained, including Jin Cheng.

Zhang Bufan's cultivation is profound, he is not afraid of falling rocks and arrow formations, but others can't stand it, this charge down, is a run, a dead and wounded, 70,000 troops, before they have been killed under the city, thousands of people have been lost.

Under Zhang Bufan's almost crazy urging, the 80,000 army led by Jin Cheng finally came up.

As soon as the brigade arrived, the siege of the Jin army was officially launched. (To be continued......)
