Nancheng District.

Countless Darong soldiers, like a tide, frantically attacked the city wall, surrounded by countless corpses, and the rich smell of blood permeated.

But even so, these Darong soldiers are like killing crazy, they don't care about it at all, and they are crazy to attack.

Although the city wall of Nancheng District has not been breached, the corpses piled up around it have reached almost half the height of the city wall.

The ladder was erected at the head of the wall, and some of the soldiers had already approached the wall, but fortunately, the soldiers defending the city resisted desperately and reluctantly retreated.

And further ahead, on the periphery of the soldiers who stretched like a tide, thousands of people such as Zhao Ang and Zhou Yan were surrounded by Darong cavalry, and the situation was in danger.

The soldiers defending the city, looking at that scene, only had helplessness in their hearts, and their situation was equally bad.

Zhao Ang and Zhou Yan left only 2,000 soldiers defending the city, and the attacking Darong army quickly skyrocketed from a few thousand just now to about 10,000, and the number increased sharply.

The walls of Nancheng City are deeply defended, and they can't withstand such a fierce attack.

Fortunately, at this critical juncture, Xie Cang and Zheng Liang have already led the support army to arrive, and at the same time, the support army of the commander Fan Wenzhong will also arrive soon.

With the support of Xie Cang and Zheng Liang, the precarious Nancheng District finally stabilized its position.

But with the 6,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhao Ang and Zhou Yan, they were in danger.

Reinforcements from Nancheng District arrived in time, and the Daei army was in a stalemate for a while.

Since you can't take Nancheng District for the time being, let's take advantage of the situation to eat Zhao Ang and Zhou Yan's men and horses with all your might.

When the time comes, turn around, gather all the troops, and break into the southern city in one fell swoop.

Xie Cang stood on the city tower with a solemn gaze, he could naturally see the other party's intentions.

Zhao Ang and Zhou Yan are not things, they are adventurous, and if they want to deal with their sins, they have to be rescued again.

Even if it wasn't for these two sons, they would have to try for the six thousand soldiers who fought bloodily.

Xie Cang didn't think about it for long, and shouted directly, "The Split Mountain Army and the Running Wolf Army listen to my orders, follow Benhou out of the city to save people, and the defense here will be handed over to you Marquis Zheng." ”

Immediately, Xie Cang turned around, glanced at Zheng Liang, who was in command, and quickly called for the assembled army, a total of 8,000 people ready to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Xie Cang did this, not trusting Zheng Liang, but a kind of helplessness.

At this time, only he could save Zhao Ang and Zhou Yan back, and the command of this matter could only be handed over to Zheng Liang.

Zheng Liang was born in a famous family, and he seems to be the same as Zhao Ang and Zhou Yan, but in fact, this person is one of the few sons and brothers in this group who can fight.

At this time, at such a critical juncture, Zheng Liang had to think twice about what small actions he wanted to make behind his back.

If he dies in battle and fails to save Zhao Ang and Zhou Yan, Nancheng District will also not be able to hold it.

At that time, even if he can return to Kyoto alive, his future will be over.

Therefore, Zheng Liang should understand.

The city gate was opened, and the eight thousand soldiers led by Xie Cang, like a sharp knife, suddenly attacked.

This move caught these attacking Daei troops off guard.

Originally, they had already divided part of their forces to encircle and suppress Zhao Ang and Zhou Yan, and the number of their attacking troops was no more than 10,000, basically similar to the soldiers defending the city.

As for the 70,000 troops hidden by Cook, no matter how fast it is, it will take a while.

Xie Cang fought this time difference, after all, who would have thought that he would be surrounded and make a gap.

The soldiers defending the city dared to lead the army to attack, and the attacking troops attacked even more fiercely than them.

As soon as the two met, it only took a few minutes, and the 8,000 troops led by Xie Cang forcibly tore a hole and went straight to Zhao Ang and Zhou Yan who were surrounded as quickly as possible.

Looking at Xie Cang, who was leaving, the general of Darong who was attacking the city, his eyes flashed, and then he waved his palm.

did not send troops to pursue, but attacked the southern city more fiercely.

Xie Cang's 8,000 raiding soldiers did catch them off guard, but the number was too small.

Even if Xie Cang can tear open the besieged opening, it will take time, and at that time, the follow-up hidden 70,000 troops are afraid that they will arrive long ago.

Seventy thousand against eight thousand, this brave and brave Liangren Hou Ye has only one way to die.

Instead of spending time chasing down, take advantage of the opportunity to storm.

As time passed, the battle between the two sides became more and more concentrated, whether it was Xie Cang's rescue troops or the soldiers defending the city, their casualties increased exponentially.

The rising proportion is almost equal to that of the Daei army.

At this time, not a single person retreated, but they were all red-eyed, and in the end, they even used black powder.

The explosion of gunpowder filled the air with billowing black smoke, but the effect was obvious, and the soldiers of Darong who had just attacked the city tower became broken corpses all over the ground under the sound of explosions.

Although the battlefield was bloody, fortunately, the city walls were temporarily held.

Black powder is very powerful, but unfortunately, even in a border town, the imperial court has an equally strict control over this thing.

There can only be one box of black powder in a military city, and the size of one box is about 20 to 40.

The wave that was detonated just now had already consumed half of it, but the Rongguo army under the city wall rushed up from the cloud ladder without their lives.

No matter how powerful the black powder is, it can't withstand such consumption, but if you don't need it, Nancheng District will be dangerous again.

Zheng Liang's eyes were solemn, at this time, he also realized that the situation was serious, he wanted to retreat, but he couldn't.

Looking at the Darong soldiers who climbed up from the cloud ladder again, Zheng Liang's eyes froze, and he made up his mind in his heart.

After depleting the last half of the box of black powder, he would definitely flee while the battlefield was chaotic.

When, no military feats matter as much as life.

Just as Zheng Liang was about to give the order to use black powder again, suddenly, the sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded in the rear.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

At first, it was just a few arrows, and when the arrows hit, they shot the soldiers who rushed up the tower.

Immediately afterward, countless arrows suddenly struck like a rain of arrows in the sky.

In this kind of attack like a rainstorm, the Darong soldiers who climbed the ladder did not even let out a wail, and each fell to the ground in response.

Roughly speaking, there are at least four or five sticks inserted into each person's body.

Under such a round of attacks like a raging storm, the soldiers who attacked Nancheng District suffered heavy casualties.

As a last resort, I retreated temporarily, and Nancheng District was finally safer for the time being.

Zheng Liang turned his head and looked at the arrival of Fan Wenzhong and Su Qi'an, and he was also relieved in his heart.

hurriedly stepped forward and reported to Fan Wenzhong with his fists.

But at the moment, Fan Wenzhong, where did he have the heart to listen to Zheng Liang's report, he only needed to look at the battlefield to see the general situation.

Fan Wenzhong waved his hand and quickly gave the battle order.

Nancheng District was under his command, and all the soldiers assembled had 20,000.

According to the different branches of the army, the first line of the city wall is all defended by heavy armor soldiers and shield bearers, the archers are in charge of the middle, and the last reserve is the cavalry, waiting for Fan Wenzhong's order at any time to provide mobile support.

Fan Wenzhong's words quickly put some chaotic battlefields in an orderly manner.

Those soldiers who were a little tired on their faces looked excited when they saw Fan Wenzhong's arrival.

It is no exaggeration to say that Fan Wenzhong is their backbone, and with Fan Wenzhong here, they are not afraid of any attack.

This is Fan Wenzhong's prestige, which Zheng Liang can't envy no matter how envious he is.

Zheng Liang arched his hand, did not dangle in front of Fan Wenzhong, and left quite interestingly.

Su Qi'an stood in the city tower, looking at the corpses scattered below, the air was mixed with the smell of blood and gunpowder, which was disgusting for a while.

To be able to strike such a smooth blow can temporarily force back the Daei siege troops, and the luck component is still very large.

Daiei was able to gamble on the greed of human nature to find the gap in the town military city, and similarly, this kind of greed, the Daiei army was no exception.

It stands to reason that the siege troops are definitely shield bearers, and the heavy armor soldiers are the main force.

But the greed in the hearts of the siege troops could not be concealed either, and they were too anxious.

The first time I attacked the city tower, I tasted the sweetness, and I was so anxious that the second and third time I attacked the city tower, it was the knife and axe hand who rushed up.

The shield hand who was responsible for protection was pulled behind, so Fan Wenzhong naturally couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

Gathering the arrows of the whole army, there was a round of large-scale salvos, a full 20,000 arrows.

Even if the siege troops are dying, they will have to be beaten into a sieve under this devastating rain of arrows.

Therefore, the four or five arrows stuck in their bodies, that is as it should be, on the battlefield, before the last moment, once careless, there is only death.

This time the Darong army was forced to retreat, which was only temporary, and what Fan Wenzhong could do now was to do his best to defend and wait for the support of other military cities.

At this time, Fan Wenzhong didn't care about the so-called destruction of Ningzhou's defense system.

Ordered the nearby military city, divided one-third of the troops, and quickly reinforced the town military city.

At this time, how could Fan Wenzhong not know the purpose of the Cook Technique.

His purpose has not changed from beginning to end, which is to take the town of Juncheng.

The previous so-called attack was just to paralyze Fan Wenzhong.

If his goal was not to Zhenjuncheng, it would be impossible for Kukeshu to hide the reserve army of 70,000.

Add the 30,000 troops who besieged the city, a full 100,000 troops, it's really a big deal.

Don't look at Zhenjun City, it's just a defensive town, but it takes on far more tasks than that, it is also the center of communication with the other nine cities.

The other nine military cities had losses, at most they had lost part of the territory of Ningzhou, but if the town military city was taken, Ningzhou's defensive front would suffer huge losses.

That's the Daiei army, which can really drive straight into Kyoto.

Therefore, for the sake of the safety of Kyoto, no matter what, the town and military city cannot be lost.

Fan Wenzhong dared to take the risk of mobilizing the troops of the other nine cities to rush to help, which naturally had his meaning.

The 50,000 troops that were the first division of the Daei army were the so-called feints, and at this time, compared with the fact that there was a gap in the southern urban area of the town army.

The other nine cities were taken down one, or two, but the effect was not great, and it was not worth mentioning.

With Cook's temperament, how could he let go of such a good opportunity now, he waited for so long, and finally he waited for it.

The 100,000 siege troops had to be consumed to death.
