Chapter 292
Seeing Liang Qi's smug expression, Bai Yong, the deputy commander of the Sanshui Army, said worriedly: "General, Zhang Xiaoting commanded 20,000 Ning troops to resist the wind, even if General Yuan Rang was brave, he couldn't resist it......! Is it to send a wave of troops to help him?"
Liang Qi waved his hand and said, "Shangguan Yuanrang is known for his bravery, even if he can't defeat so many Ning troops, it should be no problem to protect himself." The key goal of our army is Tongmen, and everything should be focused on Tongmen, and we must concentrate our forces and take Tongmen in one go in the shortest possible time.
Bai Yong grinned secretly and said hurriedly: "In case Yuan makes the general fall into a siege, it will be difficult to get out......"
"If the crockpot does not break from the wellhead, the general will inevitably die in battle. In front of the two armies, whether it is life or death, let it be the destiny of heaven, you and I can't control so much!" At this time, Liang Qi's ruthless side was revealed again, and it was not difficult to see his character, in order to achieve the goal, he would not hesitate to pay any price, even Shangguan Yuanrang, whom Tang Yin valued so much, could be sacrificed in his eyes.
In the past two days, Liang Qi had already quietly hidden the main force of the Sanshui Army and a large number of siege equipment near Tongmen, waiting for the opportunity of Tongmen's emptiness, and now that the opportunity had finally come, how could he miss it? Liang Qi calculated the time, and felt that Zhang Xiaoting and the others were almost enough to resist the wind, and then immediately conveyed to the generals that the whole army would attack Tongmen.
As soon as Liang Qi's military order was issued, the spies of Tianyan and the ground net immediately released a large number of carrier pigeons and distributed them to the Sanshui army hidden in various places near Tongmen. After receiving the carrier pigeons, the three-water army that was ready to wait immediately poured out from the ravines, valleys, and jungles, and quickly gathered in front of the Tong Gate.
Due to the different hiding locations, the time for each corps of the Sanshui Army to arrive at Tongmen City is also different, Liang Qi and Bai Yong are the fastest, and the 20,000 Sanshui Army suddenly appeared outside Tongmen City as if they fell from the sky, and they didn't even have time to play the flag.
Seeing that so many wind troops wearing black armor suddenly came outside the city, the Ning army at the head of the city couldn't react. Stop Q hand hitting
Liang Qi didn't give them time to react, and without even waiting for the arrival of the other corps, he had already given the order to attack the city first.
With his order, the 20,000 three water troops under his command rushed towards Tongmen like a tide.
At this time, the Ning army stationed in Tongmen finally realized that it was the enemy army that appeared outside the city, and for a while, the city shouted and the alarm bell rang into one. While the Ning army closed the gate of Tongmen to death, it also dispatched manpower to the head of the city and launched arrows at the Sanshui army outside the city.
At this time, the manpower of the Ning army in the east wall of Tongmen is only more than 1,000 people, but the power of its arrow array is still amazing, and it is also a condescending arrow shooting, the range is extremely long, and when the Sanshui army is still two hundred steps away from the Tongmen city wall, the dense arrows have fallen on the head.
With bursts of screams, the Sanshui soldiers who charged forward were carved through their bodies from time to time, rolling forward and throwing themselves to the ground, and the Sanshui soldiers behind seemed to not see the corpses of their companions
Body-like, continue to hold back enough strength to rush forward. The officers and men of the Sanshui Army know very well that now they are deep into the deep hinterland of the enemy, if they can capture Tongmen, they may still have a chance of survival, if they can't capture Tongmen, then none of their 90,000 people will survive.
This is a ruined battle, either win or die, in this case, how can the soldiers of the Sanshui Army not fight hard?
More and more soldiers were shot by the arrows, but they could not stop the charge of the Sanshui army, people stepped on the corpses of their comrades to advance, getting closer and closer to the city wall, and when they entered the firing range, the counterattack of the Sanshui army had already begun, and the soldiers took off their bows and arrows while running, aimed at the head of the city, and released arrows in unison.
In an instant, there was also a scream on the head of the city, and from time to time, Ning Jun, who was hit by an arrow, screamed and fell from the city wall. At this time, the strategists and generals of the Ning army in the city had also gone up to the city wall, and seeing that the enemy's attack was extremely fierce, some of the strategists shouted: "Quickly release the wolf smoke and let the general return to the city to support."
Hearing the words of the strategist, the Ning army contentment immediately lit all the beacon fires, and the thick smoke billowed above the head of Tongmen City, soaring into the sky.
Liang Qi, who commanded the battle, saw it clearly, secretly screamed badly, and immediately ordered that all the city-breaking crossbows in the generals were moved out and fired a volley at the head of the city.
The generals on the left and right immediately conveyed his generals, and with the rumbling sound, dozens of city-breaking crossbows were moved out, and people opened their crossbow strings while aiming at the head of the Tongmen City, and launched a salvo.
Airplanes!
Dozens of giant crossbow machines fired a salvo, shooting out not a crossbow arrow at all, it was a wooden Zhuangzi with a heel, especially the city-breaking crossbow, the power was huge, so far away it was like a series of lightning, hanging a strong wind to shoot to the city, hitting the arrow fall, and even the roaring arrow fell was pierced.
Ning Jun, who was hiding behind the arrow and still twisting the bow and arrows or carrying the rolling wood and thunder stone, didn't even figure out what was going on, so he was hit by the wooden stake that pierced through the arrow fall, and because the force was too great, he directly flew out of the top of the person, and the person was still flying in the air, so he was shocked and bled through the seven holes, and rose to death, and his body flew into the crowd of Ning Jun behind him, and rolled down the city wall with a group of people.
After only one volley, the Ning army on the head of the city was in a mess, screams and howls erupted, and even the strategists and generals in the Ning army were dumbfounded, they had never seen such a siege weapon, and even the arrow battlements could shoot through, how powerful was that! The generals with spirit armor looked at the wooden stakes inserted in the arrow stacks, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. They were confident that the spirit armor on their bodies would not be stronger than the stacks of arrows.
Just as Liang Qi was commanding the siege of the city, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed up from the rear, and the generals quickly whipped their horses, and shouted loudly while running: "General, the Eighth Corps of the Sanshui Army has arrived-"
Liang Qi didn't even look back, and directly waved the order flag in his hand forward, ordering the Eighth Corps to go up.
Seeing this, the corps commander did not order the army to stop and rest, and directly led his subordinates to pass by Liang Qi's main formation and plunged into the battlefield. After a short time, the dust rose again in the rear, and the distance was so far away, the general shouted: "Report - general, the third corps of the Sanshui Army has arrived-"
Liang Qi still waved the command flag forward without looking back.
"Report - General, the Sixth Corps of the Sanshui Army has arrived-"
"Report - General, the Seventh Corps of the Sanshui Army has arrived-"
With a loud shout, two more soldiers and horses rushed up from the left and right sides of Liang Qi's main formation. Liang Qi was too lazy to wave the order flag at this time, he looked at the battlefield in front of him, and said to Bai Yong beside him: "Beat the drum!"
"Yes, General!" Bai Yong agreed, conveying his general.
Liang Qi said again: "Send someone to send a message to the generals in front, no matter what means are used, no matter how many brothers die, even if you use people to pile up, you must pile them into the city for me within half an hour!"
"Yes!"
Liang Qi has always had strict military orders, and his orders are conveyed, without any room for negotiation, they can only be implemented, and the generals below will either complete their military orders and return victorious, or they will come back.
After getting Liang Qi's death order, the commanders of each corps went to the battlefield in person, commanding their soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Tongmen, with the arrival of each corps one after another, the manpower of the siege expanded from 20,000 to 90,000 in a very short time.
Soon, the soldiers in the Sanshui army armed with crossbows began to climb up the ladder to the city.
The long-range power of the crossbow is not comparable to that of the bow and arrow, but the melee combat effect is excellent, and the soldiers can shoot the crossbow arrow upwards even when climbing the ladder, which is too much of a threat to the defenders who throw the rolling logs.
Many Ning soldiers have lifted the rolling wood and stones, and when they were about to smash down, the soldiers of the Sanshui army below have begun to pull the trigger and shoot crossbow arrows, so close to the distance, the crossbow arrows have been able to pierce the steel armor on Ning Jun's body, with the sound of armor breaking, the Ning army on the head of the city was full of crossbow arrows and fell down in a row. Xiao Kai hits with his hands
Taking advantage of the space where the enemy appeared, the soldiers of the Sanshui Army climbed and rushed to the city, and the first batch of soldiers who killed the head of the city suffered the sharpest counterattack of the Ning army, and the spears stabbed from all directions, and the soldiers could not dodge, and their bodies were instantly stabbed into a hornet's nest, screaming and falling off the city wall.
Then several batches of soldiers were not spared, and were taken down the city wall by the Ning army one by one, until some soldiers rushed to the Ning army desperately, preferring their bodies to be pierced into a sieve, but also to break up the Ning army's camp, at this time finally opened the gap, and then followed a large number of soldiers to take advantage of the gap, and the Ning army in a bloody battle.
When there is danger, the Ning army has a huge advantage, and once the Sanshui army kills the city, and starts a close melee with it, the advantage of the defenders is gone, the wind is brave and brave, good at close combat, and although the armor of the Ning army is strong, although the weapons are sharp, but melee has always been a weakness. As the three water armies rose more and more, the Ning army began to be unable to resist, and they were defeated in groups.
Liang Qi, who was sitting in the main formation, saw that the soldiers of Party B had successfully killed the head of the city, he couldn't do it anymore, drew his sword, and shouted loudly: "Kill-" Before his shout fell, he personally pulled a war horse, turned over and stepped forward, and then went straight to the battlefield in front of him. He is the commander of the three armies, he personally went into battle, but he scared the surrounding Bai Yong, partial generals and personal guards enough, how dare people delay, each holding a weapon, and followed Liang Qi to the battlefield.
Liang Qi's personal participation in the battle pushed the momentum of the Sanshui Army to the peak, and the soldiers seemed to have forgotten life and death, roaring and rushing up to the city along the ladder, waving the war knife in their hands, and launching a crazy slashing at the Ning army.
More and more defense lines were broken through, and in the end, there were almost no Ning soldiers on the city, and as far as the eye could see, they were all black and oppressive wind troops.
In addition, at this time, there were only a few thousand people left in the Ning army, but there were more than 80,000 people in the Sanshui army, and it was a close battle in the city, and the Ning army could not support it at all, and one group of people fled to the west of the city, while the other group of people fled to the general's palace in the center of the city.
