Countless ladders were re-erected on the city walls, and countless soldiers of the Jin army once again began to climb up the ladders like ants. Up and down the tower, huge crossbow arrows pierced the night sky with a whirring whistling sound, striking the wooden pillars and windows of the tower, and shattered wood chips and masonry flew everywhere. All the wooden parts of the castle tower were pierced and torn, and the sound was truly terrifying.

In the gate hole below, the bed crossbow slammed into the gate drawbridge, and the gate was shattered. If it weren't for the fact that Li Yuan ordered six new iron bolts to be added behind the city gate before the war, and piled up a large number of sandbags, earth and stones to block the city gate, the city gate would have been opened at this moment.

But although the city gate was still tightly closed, the drawbridge above could not withstand the frenzied fire of the Jin army. What's worse is that the city defense of Suzhou City has not been overhauled for many years, although the iron chain hanging the suspension bridge is thick, but it has long been rusted, and the rust of the wind and rain has long since made it no longer strong.

Under the attack of the iron-tipped bolts of the bed crossbow, the fixed iron ring embedded in the wall at the base of the iron chain was already overwhelmed. Under the repeated blows of the crossbow, the chains were loosened, and the drawbridge fell like a huge net, and in the dust, the drawbridge formed a wide avenue between the city gate and the river bank. Under the cover of the iron shield, the four rushing carts quickly rushed into the hole in the city gate, and then the sound of rumbling against the city gate resounded in the night sky.

The city wall has already fallen into a bitter battle, the Jin army has increased a large number of soldiers and horses to climb the city wall without fear of death, and the Wuyue defenders at the head of the city once again fell into the dilemma of lack of manpower. After they struggled to hold on for an hour, on the southernmost city wall, the figure of the Jin army finally appeared in the smoke and dust, and the city wall was broken through again.

More than 100 besieging Jin troops poured in from the gap at the southern end of the city wall, and once they entered the city, they immediately attacked the defenders on the left. The defenders on the left had to be distracted and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them, so that the besieging Jin army below could more easily break through the walls, creating a vicious circle.

Almost in the blink of an eye, many places on the city were broken through, and the Jin army on the city wall had increased to four or five hundred people, and they formed a huge restraining force, so that the Wu Yue defenders on the city wall had to take the lead in dealing with them. As a result, the defenders of the city are even more passive, and the personnel are even more stretched.

The city gate and several sections of the city wall were breached at the same time, and the defenders fell into great passivity.

"Captain Li, the Jin army is attacking the gate by breaking through the drawbridge, and the city wall in the south has also been broken through, and the city is almost impossible to hold. Captain Li, what should I do? Come up with an idea!" Tao Shizhong, who was covered in blood, gasped and rushed to the city tower, anxiously reporting to Li Yuan.

"Be careful!" Li Yuan shouted, stretched out his hand and grabbed Tao Shizhong's body and pulled it. A crossbow arrow flew past Tao Shizhong's ear, and the iron crossbow with a thick arm slammed into the wooden pillar behind him, and the sawdust exploded and flew, and the momentum was impressive.

Tao Shizhong was so frightened that his face turned white, if he was shot on his body, he would not be directly beaten into a bloody hole.

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "I know, General Tao, you go down to the city immediately, and lead the people under the city to seal the city gate hole with mud and stone sandbags, and seal the city gate before it is broken. I don't have any manpower for you, so you have to mobilize the people of the city."

Tao Shizhong arched his hand and said, "Obey, but what about the enemy who attacks the city? There are more and more, and it can't be kept like this."

Li Yuan smiled as he straightened his armor and said, "There are no mobile forces available, so we can only go into battle in person. Fortunately, there are dozens of nurses from Master Xing and the Gu family. Master Xing, I heard that you didn't do your best in the battle last night, and I regret it very much. Now here's the opportunity, you and I have a match, and see who kills the most enemies after this battle?"

Xing Zhidao drew his long sword and said in a deep voice, "Li Gongzi has a life, how dare he disobey it. This time the old decay will not lose to you."

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Then let's see."

Before the words were finished, Li Yuan had already rushed out of the city tower with his sword and rushed south along the city wall, Xing Zhidao waved his sword and shouted: "Follow me!"

Dozens of highly skilled nurses of the Gu family followed closely and rushed down after Li Yuan's back.

The southern city wall has been broken through, and the swarming Jin soldiers swept the city wall within a hundred steps of the southern end like a tide. The defenders of the city had no choice but to shrink northward, some of them struggling to stop the enemy forces besieging the city below, while others were desperately resisting

Blocking the Jin army that rushed along the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuan's heart was awe-inspiring. Although he knew that the city wall was difficult to defend, he still underestimated the strength of the Jin army, and the siege battle had only been carried out for more than three hours, and it was already like this.

"Kill!" Li Yuan raised his sword and shouted and rushed forward, at this moment any words are useless, only desperately kill the enemy, desperate to drive these guys out of the city can solve the problem.

The sword light flickered like a match, dazzling. Li Yuan took the lead in the Jin army, and the long sword swung continuously, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the screams were repeated. The defenders, who had been forced to retreat again and again, saw Li Yuan rushing into the enemy formation, and immediately rose up and shouted and followed closely. Xing Zhidao didn't say a word, and a long sword flew up and down like a poisonous dragon in his hand, invincible.

The Jin army has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the city, but although the number of people is strong, it also depends on where it is. The city of Suzhou is not wide enough, and there are a large number of stones, wood, and other materials to defend the city, in this case, no matter how many people there are, they can only be forced to form a long formation.

The engagement surface that can really engage the enemy is only a few feet, and at most there are only more than ten people who can fight the opponent in hand-to-hand combat. This is why there is a husband who is in charge of the sentence that ten thousand people do not open it. The narrowness of the terrain made it impossible to exert the numerical advantage, so they were forced to engage their opponents in small groups. In such a situation, those who are strong in martial arts can use it to their advantage.

Li Yuan is naturally not a master of martial arts, but after all, he has experienced a hundred battles, and he has also been instructed by the Ebony Special Service, and he has rich experience in actual combat. Needless to say, as the leader of the Gu family's nursing home, he has protected Gu Mingli for decades, and he is already a master of martial arts.

What he lacked was Li Yuan's ruthlessness, but at this moment, the two rushed into the enemy side by side, but they were complementary and mutually beneficial, and they cooperated seamlessly. These two people slashed all the way like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and they actually slashed dozens of opponents in tea time, and the momentum of the Jin army's charge was forcefully resisted.

The defenders in the rear also followed the two of them and slashed the Jin troops who leaked in the rear after the two of them rushed and killed them one by one, compressing the entire Jin army formation dozens of steps to the south.

But even so, the momentum of the Jin army's onslaught continued unabated, because they could not retreat. The continuous Jin army in the rear successfully landed in the city, and there was no way to retreat from the dense flow of people, knowing that there were two demons in front of them to stop them for their lives, they could only rush forward. Even if he dies under the opponent's sword, there is nothing to be done.

In this way, Li Yuan and Xing Zhidao seem to be easy, but in fact, the pressure is huge. The Jin army is endless, and they don't know when it will come to an end, and people's strength is limited after all, after these few days of hard work, who can maintain their strength for a long time in this high level of tension and fatigue.

After killing an unknown number of people, Li Yuan's sword-wielding hand was already sore, and his body was also wounded by the dying Jin army. It's not critical, but the pain and fatigue make it a nightmare.

At this moment, how much Li Yuan hoped that Luo Erhu and the others could be by their side, with the martial arts of the generals under their command, the enemy army full of city walls had already been killed by them and collapsed in one fell swoop.

They can't only block the enemy army and slash like themselves, they can kill a bloody way all the way to the end and then kill back and forth, that kind of slaughter will make the Jin soldiers no longer have the courage to charge, and they can't do it anyway.

I don't know how long it took, after Li Yuan swung his sword and slashed down a Jin soldier who rushed in front of him, he finally had to retreat and breathe, and Xing Zhidao also retreated to Li Yuan's side with a pale face. Dozens of soldiers defending the city rushed forward to resist the Jin army in front of them, allowing the two to rest for a while.

"Li Gongzi still kills more than the old decay, and the old decay is willing to bow down. It seems that I am really old, and my hands and feet are sore and numb." Xing Zhidao gasped like an old cow on the side.

Li Yuan also gasped like a broken bellows: "Does Master Xing still remember the number? I don't have the strength to count anymore. I didn't expect to be so tired from killing, and I didn't have the strength anymore."

Xing Zhidao smiled bitterly: "The first time I killed someone, my hands and feet were numb, and I didn't have the strength to kill myself. Are these people crazy? We've killed so many and we're going to rush forward. Together, you and I have slain one hundred and thirty-one. You killed sixty-six people, but the old man only killed sixty-five."

Li Yuan said with a smile: "There is only one more, and we can't kill us with such a killing method." Let's rest

Rest for a moment, and let the guards and soldiers rush to kill."

The two of them gasped and looked at the chaotic battlefield ahead.

Dozens of guards and soldiers were entangled with the enemy, and there were casualties on both sides, and the scene was chaotic. From time to time, people were cut to the ground, spurting bloody limbs and bodies and falling down the city. The blood flowed like a stream on the top of the city, and the ground was full of wet and slimy flesh.

Just as the two of them were gasping for breath and regaining their strength, they suddenly heard a commotion behind them. Li Yuan turned his head to look, and his scalp suddenly went numb. But seeing that several city walls in the rear had also been breached, the Jin army rushed up to the city with a roar, dividing the defenders in an instant. The place where Li Yuan was located suddenly became a part of the separation, and the north and south were surrounded by the soldiers of the Jin army, and the situation suddenly became bad.

At the same time, the figures on the city wall farther away flickered and shouted to kill the sky, and it was obvious that the city wall had been broken through in many places. Li Yuan's mood sank to the valley, and it seemed that Suzhou was not guaranteed tonight. After all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Li Yuan has limited resources at hand, limited manpower, and limited time, and he has also achieved the ultimate in what he can do......
