Chapter 597: The Battle of Ningcheng

The raiding forces of the Rong Kingdom arrived at the city.

In an instant, the air in the entire Ning City solidified into ice.

The soldiers on the city walls were already ready to meet the enemy.

The Rong State is good at fighting on horseback, and its iron cavalry is famous in the northwest.

In addition, the Rong country produces excellent war horses, and when encountered on the battlefield, they often have the power to destroy the withering and decaying.

Therefore, as soon as the people of Ningcheng heard that the army of Rongguo was coming, they were subconsciously filled with fear in their hearts.

If it had been normal, he would have fled the city with his whole family.

Because they didn't think that the defenders could withstand the siege of the Rong Iron Cavalry.

However, the Rong State mobilized the whole country to invade the Xia State, and in the past half a year, the Rong State Iron Cavalry was blocked outside Ningcheng by the Northwest Army led by Meng Zhixu.

Although the Rong State repeatedly took the initiative to attack, it never got any advantage in the Northwest Army.

The two sides were deadlocked for more than half a year, and Rong Guo did not ask for any benefits, but even the commander of the third prince, Helian Liang, was captured by Xia Guo.

This gave the people of Ningcheng great confidence.

The people of Rong are also people, and they can be defeated if they are people, so why are they not the people of Xia who win?

They slaughtered our villages, blew up our walls, and separated them from the deep feud of the sea of blood, and they must win the Rong people.

In addition, Meng Zhixu resisted to the death on the battlefield outside the city, and General Meng's name as the god of war was not blown, and Helian Liang, the once famous third prince of the Rong Kingdom, had to flee when he faced it.

Thinking of this, the people of Ningcheng were not so frightened by the invasion of the Rongguo Iron Cavalry, and they took the initiative to act as people to support the city defenders on the city wall.

Everyone believes that the army and the people will definitely be able to win this battle to defend Ningcheng.

"Soldiers, sons, follow me to protect Ningcheng. Kill! Xie Xiaolian gave an order, and the soldiers defending the city threw themselves into the enemy.

Soon, the shouts of fighting on the city walls shook the sky.

The Rong people invaded Ningcheng many times, and each time they were stopped under the city wall by the Northwest Army.

This time, the Rong State sent the most elite iron cavalry to raid, and it was bound to break through Ningcheng.

The Northwest Army had rich experience in resisting the Rong National Iron Cavalry, and coupled with the bloody nature of the city wall being blown up on Chinese New Year's Eve, the first round of attacks by the Rong National Iron Cavalry ended in failure.

Outside the city walls, there were cries and neighing horses.

Piles of Rong cavalry fell outside the city walls, and in the twilight, their blood could be seen staining the snow on the ground and the roots of the city walls.

The people of Ningcheng couldn't help but cheer for the soldiers defending the city.

Since you can't kill the enemy like a soldier, it's always okay to frustrate the spirit of the Rong cavalry when the atmosphere is set.

Although there were not many casualties in the Northwest Garrison, every wounded soldier and sacrificed soldier made the people of Ningcheng feel sad and indignant.

Among those young faces, on Chinese New Year's Eve, they also rescued with the people, and in an instant they carried blood or sacrifice.

Bai Dazhuang took his companions from Shenshu Village to transport gunpowder to the city wall one after another, and then carried the wounded and sacrificed soldiers down the city wall.

On the city wall, Bai Dazhuang lowered his head and swept down the city wall, and saw the Rong cavalry piled up under the city wall, and his heart gradually hardened.

Looking at the search place, I saw my fifth brother and Xie Xiaolian standing together, holding a half-meter long knife on his arm, the tip of the knife was stained with blood, and the armor on his face was also splashed with blood.

"Fifth brother, you're not injured, are you?" Bai Dazhuang asked.

"Big brother, I'm fine." Bai Zhaomei said.

He wanted to tell his eldest brother that he had killed thirty enemies, but he swallowed back the words, after all, this was the first round.

Rong will definitely launch a new round of attacks.

He couldn't let up at all.

If Ningcheng can't hold it, he, his master, and the eldest brother and second brother will all die in Ningcheng.

Even if you try your best today, you must defend Ningcheng.

Bai Dazhuang knew that this was not the time for the brothers to talk, so he carried the wounded soldiers down the city wall.

Bai Zhaomei looked down at the city wall, and before she had time to catch her breath, she found that another wave of Rong cavalry had already swarmed in.

"The enemy is attacking again." Bai Zhaomei shouted.

The soldiers defending the city immediately began to devote themselves to the second round of defending against the enemy.

The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded again.

The people under the city wall were stunned for a moment, knowing that the second round of attacks by the Rong people had begun.

Some people scolded, and some threw themselves into a new round of support for the city wall defenders.

At this time, Bai Dazhuang had not gone far, and when he looked down, he obediently sent more troops in the second round than in the first round.

The entire city wall was densely packed with soldiers, in addition to cavalry and infantry.

This wave of cavalry did not attack the city rashly as the first time, but placed the dead cavalry of the Rong Kingdom under the city wall into a stack, and the frozen corpses served as a natural ladder to climb the wall.

The infantry of the second round of siege stepped on the corpses of the first wave of cavalry and tried to storm the wall.

And behind the infantry was the cavalry that was ready to fight.

"Big brother, hurry, bring the oil up." Bai Zhaomei said.

Bai Dazhuang didn't say a word, carried the wounded down the city wall, and then found the car where the oil was placed, and beckoned Liu Fugui and Zhao Xiaogui and others to push up the city wall together.

Here, Bai Zhaomei and others are slashing and killing the soldiers of Rongguo who climbed the city wall.

Seeing that several soldiers of the Rong Kingdom were about to climb the city wall, Bai Dazhuang gritted his teeth, poured the fire oil down, and then lit the fire.

In an instant, the city wall was ablaze.

There was a wail, and the soldiers who climbed the wall of the Rong Kingdom rolled down the city wall like dumplings.

"Burn you, you shit." Zhao Xiaogui scolded while setting fires.

"Big brother, do you still have the oil?" Bai Zhaomei slashed and killed two soldiers and asked.

"And a car."

"Push them all up."

Without waiting for Bai Dazhuang to go downstairs, Liu Fugui quickly ran down to push the oil of fire.

Bai Dazhuang's heart sank, he knew that there were only two carts of oil oil, and he would not attack it unless he had to.

But as soon as the real war began, nothing was taken into account.

The first thing to think about is to push the enemy back, no matter what.

The fire oil not only forced the soldiers of the Rong State to climb the wall to retreat, but also frightened the horses of the Rong State cavalry, and the first row of cavalry fell off their horses one after another.

How powerful is kerosene?

It would be nice if there was more kerosene.

Bai Dazhuang stood on the city wall with an idea, and shouted to the people under the city wall: "Folks, now everyone goes, bring all the lamp oil, let's attack with fire." ”

As soon as Bai Dazhuang shouted, the people under the city wall who acted as atmosphere groups or people ran towards their homes.

Soon, the people of the city brought all the oil from their homes, and some even withheld the oil from the kerosene lamps.

In addition to taking flammable materials such as oil, he also resisted the iron pots and spatulas at home.

The people spontaneously organized themselves and prepared that if the defenders on the city wall could not hold it, they would fight with the tools in their hands, and they would not be able to surrender to the country.

The offensive of the oil forced back the second attack of the Rong State.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the charred corpses of the soldiers of the Rong Kingdom under the city walls emitted a disgusting smell, and a cry of pain reached the walls.

Bai Zhaomei, Xie Xiaolian and others were covered in blood.

The defenders on the city walls gasped, holding their swords and arrows, and their faces did not relax in the slightest.

"Look ......"

One of the soldiers shouted as he pointed at the cavalry of the Rong Kingdom.

Bai Zhaomei and the others looked down and were dumbfounded.

It turned out that the Rong people cut off their robes, blindfolded the horses, broke through the flames, and carried out the third attack. (End of chapter)
