Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Bloody Battle of Dengzhou (Finale)
On the city wall, Nian Yingjiu looked at the burning trebuchet and was silent for a long time.
Although he knew that it was unlikely that Cao Chuan would come back after he went out, seeing them standing outside the city, this feeling still made Nian Yingjiu a little sad and couldn't breathe.
It was a conspiracy for Jin Jun to force them out and destroy those trebuchets, even if he knew that those trebuchets would not last long, he had to let people destroy those trebuchets.
Because the cost of sending people out to destroy those trebuchets is far less than letting these trebuchets be launched to destruction, not to mention, he doesn't dare to bet on how long those trebuchets can last, so as the supreme commander in Dengzhou City, he must abandon all his feelings and make the most correct choice in this regard.
After Yan Feng's side ate Cao Chuan's cavalry, he tried several times again, but when he couldn't threaten Dengzhou City, Nian Yingjiu didn't have any intention of going out of the city to face the battle.
The two sides have been fighting in secret for several times, and after finally determining that Nian Yingjiu would make up his mind to defend it, Wan Yanfeng simply gave up these small means and increased the intensity of the siege.
These Jin soldiers attacked Dengzhou City for a day and a night, and when one army was finished, they were replaced by another, and even people took turns to attack the city when they ate and slept, without the slightest time to stop, no matter how big the sacrifice was, he did not give the defenders in the city a moment of respite.
And the reason why Wan Yanfeng attacked Dengzhou City so much at any cost this time was because he wanted to completely break the ridge of Yu State.
There is no siege, no detour, it is to attack head-on and take Jinzhou City in one go.
Moreover, after the city was broken, he would slaughter the city for three days, and completely tell these people of the Yu Kingdom that even the hardest fortress of Dengzhou City would be difficult to stop the iron hooves of their Jin Kingdom.
All those who dare to stand in front of their Jin Kingdom army will only have a dead end!
As long as they can win this battle and kill the last hard bone of Nian Yingjiu, then there is a lesson from Dengzhou City, and the people of Yu Guo in the city behind will basically not have the heart to resist.
Therefore, Wan Yan Feng's purpose is to start a decisive battle, as long as he can knock on the turtle shell of Dengzhou City, then the city behind Dengzhou City will become a piece of defenseless fat, and after knocking on Dengzhou City, it will be the time when they completely destroy Yu Kingdom!
After finishing Yan Feng's determination, Nian Yingjiu also felt it.
But Jin Guo has recuperated in recent years and recruited a large number of troops, and at this moment, Wan Yan Feng has transferred most of his troops to attack Dengzhou City, if Wan Yan Feng has been attacking at such a cost, then he will not be able to last long in Dengzhou City.
Therefore, the only thing Nian Yingjiu can count on now is a letter of help sent to Emperor Yu before the war.
In terms of time, as long as Emperor Yu received his request for help and sent reinforcements as soon as possible, then they would be able to catch up with this war no matter what.
And as long as there are reinforcements, even if they don't do it, they can greatly deter the Jin army, so that they don't dare to attack the city so unscrupulously, so they can help Dengzhou relieve the siege.
It's just that as for whether the emperor of Yu State will send reinforcements, Nian Yingjiu has no bottom in his heart.
Although according to common sense, Dengzhou City is the gateway to the south, if Dengzhou City is broken, it will be unfavorable to Yu State in terms of geographical location and morale, and at that time, the destruction of Yu State is almost just around the corner.
Therefore, no matter which aspect it is, Emperor Yu should send reinforcements to rescue Dengzhou City.
But...... Thinking of Emperor Yu, who could even betray his own courtiers, Nian Yingjiu really didn't dare to have any confidence in him.
The soldiers of Jin Guo attacked Dengzhou City for seven days and seven nights in a row, and in these seven days of high-intensity siege battles, the soldiers on both sides suffered countless casualties, and even in the fierce battle, the two sides did not even have time to clean up the corpses.
Now, the corpses of the soldiers laid under the walls of the city were almost piled up as high as the city walls.
Now these siege soldiers don't need siege ladders at all, and they can climb directly to the city wall by stepping on the slope composed of those corpses.
It is precisely because of the existence of these corpses that the advantage of the city wall on the defending side has been greatly reduced, and the losses on both sides have gradually begun to flatten, and the number of casualties among the Dengzhou soldiers defending the city has begun to rise in a straight line.
Not only that, but under such a fierce battle, the city's defense equipment, bows and arrows, and even fire oil and gold juice have been almost consumed.
In a way, the advantage of defending the city has been basically wiped out.
And after seeing this scene, Wan Yanfeng knew that the time for the general attack had come.
The elite of the Jin Kingdom, who had been left in the camp by him and had never participated in the battle, began to charge at this moment.
This army that was kept at the end was called the Xuanjia Army, with a total of 5,000 people, all of whom were composed of the most elite soldiers from all parts of the grassland, and were the most elite troops in the Jin Kingdom, except for the Flying Eagle Cavalry.
These 5,000 people, including people and war horses, all wearing black armor, after they buckled their thick masks, they looked like black ghosts, and rushed directly to Dengzhou City.
The Xuanjia Army, which was heavily armored per capita, should have been extremely heavy in its original charge, but under the effect of the power of the military array, they were incomparably light, like a black meteor, and they rushed under the city wall in an instant.
Then, as if walking on a gentle slope, the horses stepped on the corpses of the soldiers, and quickly rushed to the top of the city wall.
These Xuanjia troops, after landing on the ground, quickly started to kill, and all the soldiers who stood in front of them, whether they were Dengzhou soldiers or Jin Guo soldiers, were all cut in two.
In just an instant, a rain of blood broke out on the city wall where they landed, and it didn't take long for the entire section of the city wall to be completely wiped out by them.
Not only is there no Dengzhou army, but there is not even a Jin army, and there are only corpses on the city wall that have been stabbed by them.
And these Xuanjia soldiers obviously didn't care about these corpses, they continued to charge on the city walls, and there was no one alive everywhere they went.
It's just that Nian Yingjiu obviously started to guard against them at a very early stage, so after the Xuanjia army started killing on the city wall, the large bed crossbow that had never been used on the battlements of the city wall suddenly made a hideous sound.
Rows of arm-thick crossbow arrows, like javelins, shot at the Dengzhou army on the city wall.
Bed crossbow arrows like lightning, even if they could react, there was no room to dodge at all, just a salvo, and these Xuanjia soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
But the Xuanjia army was ruthless to the enemy, and even more ruthless to their own people, after discovering the bed crossbow, not only did they not have the slightest intention of retreating, but instead charged directly at those bed crossbows with the crossbow arrows of the bed crossbow.
After being shot dead by hundreds of cavalrymen, these smiling Xuanjia soldiers directly cracked with a knife, which not only shattered several bed crossbows, but also collapsed directly at the battlements of the city wall.
