Chapter 976: I can't stand it

Even Qian Ping and the three of them were silent, from the beginning of this war to the present, today's battle should be the most intense, probably because of the reinforcements of King Zhennan from elsewhere, so King Zhennan took out the most elite army today.

This group of troops is indeed to the king of Zhennan long face, when they kill to the city wall, the army of His Royal Highness the king can not resist at all, the people who can climb the city wall, the physical fitness is much stronger than other people, and their combat skills are also better, although only a few hundred people went up, but also the king troops on the city wall to kill the ghost crying wolf.

His Royal Highness immediately mobilized his men and horses to go over, hoping to beat the rebels on the city wall back, just when his men and horses passed, there was a huge crashing sound under the city wall, and it turned out that the army of the king of Zhennan began to attack the city gate again, and originally hoped to use stones to smash the city wall down, but I didn't expect it to be too difficult.

Whenever there is a gap in the city wall, the people above will use the surrounding things to block the place, so the king of Zhennan changed his play, he decided to let his men directly knock open the city gate according to the way a few days ago, and the cavalry behind is ready, as long as the city gate is knocked open, the cavalry will rush in as fast as possible, and after entering, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, as long as it is a person who obeys the king's order, he will be killed.

Behind them are 5,000 carefully selected soldiers, these people are also the elite in the hands of the king of Zhennan, and those who attacked the city wall are almost the same, as long as the cavalry and these 5,000 soldiers enter the royal city, the overall situation is basically decided.

"Send people to resist the city gate, hurry up and carry lamp oil over there, we must not let them continue to hit, the city gate cannot hold on."

A general said loudly, although his soldiers agreed, but there is no lamp oil around, the frequency of attacking the city in the past few days is too high, they have poured a large amount of lamp oil, although there is still a part of the storage in the city, but because of the lack of transportation and personnel, these lamp oils have not yet been transported, to put it bluntly, the consumption can not catch up with the supply, so now there is very little lamp oil that can be used on the city wall.

If there was no army of King Zhennan on the city wall, then their soldiers would still be able to pull the lamp oil from a distance, but now there are hundreds of soldiers of King Zhennan on the city wall, and the other soldiers are still climbing up the ladder, and soon their side will be unable to resist, once it reaches that step, who will care about the gains and losses of the city gate below?

A barrel of lamp oil still fell from this side, but the soldiers below already had experience, they put their shields together, and the hot lamp oil was poured directly on the shield, although some people were scalded and screamed, but there was not much lamp oil stuck to the wood, and the other archers even if they shot arrows, the damage to the below was extremely limited.

This method of fighting, the king of Zhennan specially discussed with his subordinates, when the lamp oil began to be poured on it, dozens of soldiers nearby used the shields in their hands to form a house-shaped thing, and then let the lamp oil flow down the shield to the ground, and far away from the big wood in the middle, even if all these lamp oils were ignited, then our siege wood was not much damaged.

"Prepare the archers, the city gate can't hold it."

After hitting the city wall again and again, the general also saw that at most, it would be three more hits, and I was afraid that the gate of the royal city would not be able to withstand it, so the archers in the city below had to be ready, and when the city gate was knocked open after a while, the archers might be able to kill and injure a large number of soldiers outside the city with a salvo.

This is also the last chance for the army in the city, when a large number of soldiers outside the city die, if they can seize this opportunity and close the city gate again, then they can still maintain the status quo, but if they can't close it, then the archers will have to retreat quickly, and the cavalry outside will quickly rush in, and the archers will not have any advantage in the face of the cavalry, but will let these cavalrymen take the sword and fall as a meritorious service for the cavalry.

The city gate was finally knocked open, the retaining wood inside had been broken, hundreds of soldiers were still at several gates, trying to rely on their own flesh and blood to block, but unfortunately their flesh and blood did not have so much strength, after the army outside the city opened the gate, these people did not retreat, but continued to rush the huge wood inside.

The archers in the city began to shoot arrows in unison, and the soldiers outside knew that the chances of survival were very small, but they were doing this job, and there were also archers from the king of Zhennan waiting behind, if you retreated now, you would die in the hands of your own people, and there was a certain chance of surviving if you rushed forward, even if they had a chance to fight now.

When the huge log entered the range of the city gate, the army in the city had already been defeated, and they did not think about closing the city gate, because there was such a long log here, it was impossible to close the city gate again, so in addition to the archers present, the people who had originally arranged to retake the city gate here also began to retreat.

War is like this, if all the people are nervously attacking, then they can hold out for a long time, but if some people are ready to retreat, then it may be as if it is contagious, and one by one they want to run backwards, lest they run slowly and become someone else's sword.

King Nanzhao has disappeared on the city wall, when he attacked the city gate just now, this guy has seen that it is no longer interesting to continue to stay on the city wall, so he rode a fast horse and quickly rushed back to the palace, at this time, while the city is not chaotic, he can also gallop on horseback, if you wait for the rebels outside the city to come in, I am afraid that the entire royal city will be chaotic.

The army on the city wall was still fighting, they didn't know that the city gate had been breached, but the young men under the city wall could be regarded as running clean, and they didn't want to wait for the army outside the city to kill them, so when they saw that the city gate was breached, they followed the king and began to run inside, but if the king was able to run back to the palace, they could only run back to their own homes.

However, they are also a little scared when they run back to their own homes, because now His Royal Highness the King should have failed, if King Zhennan becomes the king, these people have helped the original king, and King Zhennan will never let them go, and he will definitely pull all the people out and behead them.
