Chapter 782, the situation is reversed

Huyan Bixian saw such a scene, although he didn't know what was going on, but he subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Immediately handed over the west gate to a general, he immediately led hundreds of soldiers to rush towards the south gate, and at the same time sent someone to order the city reserves to rush to the south gate for reinforcements.

Those Dhaka nobles who had been suppressed by the Ming Dynasty rushed straight to the southern city gate with their minions, and immediately launched a fierce attack. The nobleman at the head raised his scimitar and shouted: "Today is the day of killing the enemy and liberating, follow me to attack the enemy until dawn!" The crowd of people with miscellaneous weapons poured straight to the south city gate, and the number of Ming soldiers guarding the city gate immediately lined up to meet the battle! The leading officer, seeing the enemy rushing in, shouted: "Throw your spear!" The officers and soldiers immediately threw their spears violently, and hundreds of spears flew away with a roar, falling into the middle of the crowd, and there was a loud bang, and many of the enemies were shot down!

Although these rioters were ferocious, they were only a rabble after all, and when they were attacked by the opponent's spears, they became panicked and confused, and the momentum of the charge suddenly decreased.

The Ming officer waved his horizontal knife forward and shouted, "Kill!" Hundreds of Ming troops roared with long knives and axes, slammed into the middle of the enemy, brandished long knives and axes and killed fiercely, and for a while only saw flesh and blood flying. Seeing that Yan Yun's army was coming so fiercely, the rioters couldn't help but be frightened, and thousands of men and horses actually began to retreat. When the nobleman saw this, he was shocked and angry, and kept shouting at the top of his throat.

The Ming army became more and more courageous, stepping on the corpse and blood and water to move forward, the rioters kept retreating, and kept falling in a pool of blood in the flying sword light and blood, everyone was terrified to the extreme, where could they still rush forward to kill! Seeing that the situation was not right, the nobleman at the head couldn't help but have the idea of escaping in his heart.

At this moment, one of his subordinates rushed over and said in great anxiety: "No, it's not good! Da Ming, Da Ming's reinforcements are coming! The nobleman was shocked. At this moment, the sound of war drums and rumbling footsteps reached his ears, and he quickly looked behind him, and saw the banners of the Ming Dynasty and the swords and guns of Rulin coming from that street. He was so frightened that he no longer thought about liberation, what dawn, and he didn't care about the 'warriors' under him, so he quickly fled with a few cronies. But at this time, I am afraid it is too late to escape.

A moment later, hundreds of men and horses and more than 10,000 reserves led by Huyan Bixian surrounded them from all directions and surrounded these rioters.

Thousands of thugs and rioters were surrounded by the Ming army on a street in the city, with no way to escape, panicked to the extreme, and did not know what to do.

A nobleman threw away the scimitar in his hand and fell to his knees and begged for mercy. Seeing this, the others quickly threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Thousands of people fell to their knees, begging for mercy resounding over the city.

A subordinate general asked Hu Yan Bixian: "General, do you want to take them all down?" ”

Huyan Bixian said coldly: "At this time, how can we have the energy to take care of these captives!" Die on the spot! The general answered, and then gave a loud order. When the troops received the order, they immediately took action, and the sword mountain and gun forest approached those rioters. When the rioters saw that the sword mountain and the guns were about to advance, they subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and their faces were full of extreme fear.

Spears were stabbed, long knives were slashed, flesh and blood flew at the scene, and the rioters fell in pools of blood one by one. The rioters were completely in chaos, running in all directions, screaming and shouting. But under the siege of the Ming army, where to escape, the knife mountain gun forest continued to advance, in the terrible screams, the rioters and rioters continued to fall in a pool of blood, the area they were in quickly shrunk, the ruthless Ming army kept killing, without mercy. Soon after, the screams and shouts were gone, and thousands of corpses filled the alley, blood spilling into the ditch and gurgling.

A scout officer rode his horse and galloped in front of Huyan Bixian, reined in his horse, and reported: "General, the enemy forces outside the city are attacking more fiercely!" ”

Huyan Bixian immediately ordered the troops guarding the city gate to return to their posts, ordered the reserve army to stand by in place, and he himself rushed to the south gate. Looking out of the city, I saw that the endless waves of enemy troops were constantly coming, and the momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and the enemies were obviously crazy, trying to break through the city in one fell swoop. Huyan Bixian frowned, he was worried that if the enemy army attacked like this, the city defense would have problems sooner or later.

After a little thought, I decided to take the enemy by surprise.

Andrew's coalition forces were storming westward, and he was urging his soldiers to attack, and he wanted to be the first to storm the city. Because everyone knows that the first to attack the city, whether others want it or not, can rob the most wealth. In the same way, the commanders of the armies of all the countries along his way also kept urging their armies to attack desperately, and for this reason, they did not hesitate to make countless tempting promises, titles, riches, women, all of which drove these blond and blue-eyed so-called warriors of God crazy! Needless to say, the strength of the Ming Army is needless to say, but at this moment, it also feels heavy pressure! The Heavenly Alliance forces continue to attack so fiercely, and the defenders of Dhaka are limited, I am afraid that they will not be able to support it for long!

Suddenly, the West Gate opened.

Andrew was stunned and thought that the opportunity had come, and immediately ordered the troops to rush into the city. At this moment, I saw a crowd of people surging at the city gate, and an army of no small size rushed out of the city gate! Andrew and the others were taken aback, and then shouted one after another, ordering the army to encircle and suppress the Ming army that dared to go out of the city to counterattack.

Huyan Bixian led 15,000 soldiers out of the city and immediately launched a counterattack against the enemy troops who were storming the city walls. The war drums on the head of the city rumbled loudly, and the underground Ming army rushed to kill and shouted loudly!

Before the enemy troops who were besieging the city could react, they were rushed by the fierce Ming army, and they turned around and ran away.

Andrew raised his war hammer and shouted: "All follow me and destroy the enemy!" Immediately, he rushed towards the Ming army, and the other soldiers were inspired by him, and they rushed forward with a roar, forming a huge crowd of people. At this time, looking down from the sky, I saw two huge waves, one large and one small, surging towards each other.

A moment later, the two waves crashed together, and in an instant the terrifying crash of the two waves became one after another, and the long knives and axes flew up and down, and the sound of slashing and roaring soared into the sky, mixed with terrible screams. The soldiers of the Heavenly Alliance Army shouted endlessly like beasts, wildly wielding swords and war hammers, and the Ming army forgot about life and death, sacrificing their lives to kill, and moving forward! The sword light and the blood light, the corpses of both sides kept falling in a pool of blood!

A majestic Norwegian warrior brandished a battle axe and cut down a Ming soldier who rushed up, and then another Ming soldier rushed up from one side, roared and slashed, slashing his chest with a knife, and blood gushed wildly. The Norwegian warrior screamed and fell backwards. A group of Ming warriors wielded long knives and axes to kill a bloody path, but not far away, a group of allied crossbowmen fired at them, and this group of Ming warriors fell in a pool of blood. The Ming army swept the past, the corpses were all over the field, the coalition army rushed over, the blood was flying, the two sides fought inextricably and tragically, and the soldiers of all armies were already crazy!

After Andrew killed another Ming officer, he saw the enemy not far away who was riding a war horse that was obviously different from the other Ming troops, and realized that he was the enemy's general, so he immediately became excited, raised his war hammer and rushed forward. Huyan Bixian also saw Andrew, and immediately rode his horse towards Andrew, and in the blink of an eye, the two horses intersected, Andrew's war hammer slammed into Huyan Bixian's head, and Huyan Bixian's long knife slashed at the opponent's chest. At the last moment, the two struggled to get out of the way, and their weapons hit each other's bodies by just a fraction of a second.

Andrew had palpitations, but Huyan Bixian had an excited look on his face. Huyan Bixianle turned his horse and rushed towards the other party again, and when Andrew saw this, he frowned, roared, and rushed forward. The two sides rushed back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, Andrew couldn't help but feel timid, Huyan Bixian saw the opportunity to slash straight into the middle palace and slash at Andrew's head! Andrew was shocked, at this moment, he just wanted to run for his life, but he couldn't care about his face, so he quickly fell backwards! With a click, Huyan Bixian's long knife cut the horse's head, and the horse fell to the side without screaming, and Andrew fell off the horse. Before I had time to get up, I saw the opponent rushing over, and the cold light appeared! Andrew was frightened, it was too late to dodge, and with a click, the opponent's long knife looked heavily on his shoulder, and Andrew fell to the ground with a scream! However, he was dressed in heavy armor, and although Huyan Bixian's knife hurt him, it failed to kill him!

Andrew was terrified and crawled towards his own people. Huyan Bixian wanted to chase and kill again, but he was blocked by the opponent's heavy troops, and he couldn't do it.

At the same time, the armies of the Ming Dynasty rushed bravely and fought bloodily! Although the Heavenly Alliance was also very brave, it finally lost to the other party in terms of momentum, and felt that it could not be resisted. As the first army retreated, the army completely collapsed and fled to the rear. The Ming army covered up the past and killed countless enemies.

The coalition forces in the other three directions were shocked to find that the army in the west had been defeated, and the momentum of the attack was greatly defeated. The commanders of the various armies were worried that they would be attacked by the Ming army on the flanks, and they ordered to stop the attack. The armies stopped their siege and hurriedly retreated into their respective camps. The attacking Ming army returned to the city from the west gate. A big war came to an end, although the Ming army won, but also paid a heavy price, the 15,000 soldiers who attacked were killed and wounded nearly 5,000 people, these Heavenly Alliance forces are by no means Tianzhu Yue Li Dynasty These Southern Barbarian waste can be compared!

Huyan Bixian ordered all the troops to be vigilant, and then returned to the place of governance and Jia to sleep. In order to defend Dhaka, he not only spent a lot of money in his heart, but also went out of the city to fight back just now, and his physical strength was also very exhausted at the moment, and he had to sleep down to recuperate.

Philip convened a meeting of the kings and generals of the coalition forces. At the meeting, everyone competed to blame Andrew and several other armies who were defeated by the Ming army out of the city, saying that it was because of their shameful defeat that today's siege would fail, and Marcono was even more ridiculous. Andrew was so angry that he said angrily: "You guys are quite simple! We all did our best! The Ming army is very brave and ferocious, and it is not what we thought before! If it were for you, the result would never be better than ours! The crowd laughed and mocked and insulted. Andrew couldn't get angry, and the bull's temper came up, swung the war hammer, and roared loudly: "If anyone thinks that I, Andrew, am a coward, I will challenge him!" See who's the coward! ”

The insults and taunts gradually quieted down. Although everyone ridiculed and insulted Andrew, but Andrew's prestige is not a joke, known as the Nordic monster, once stabbed a giant bear, participated in two crusades, and died under his war hammer Arab warriors are not a hundred but eighty, it can be said that the Western world is a famous and famous brave general! Everyone ridiculed him just now, but in fact, they were still very shocked by the fact that the 15,000 Ming army went out of the city to counterattack and defeat Andrew's soldiers and horses.

Philip said: "His Majesty Andrew's defeat along the way is a reminder to us, the enemy is not as cowardly as we imagined, they still have some combat effectiveness!" ”

Andrew snorted, very dissatisfied with Philip's statement that the Ming Army still had some combat effectiveness. He felt that Philip was clearly deliberately belittling himself. Those Ming troops are clearly fierce and brave, they are all formidable warriors, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of any army in the coalition army, how can they just say that they have some combat effectiveness? Not to mention some combat effectiveness!

Philip continued: "However, although they have some combat strength, they have limited approaching troops. We came close to breaking their defenses today. As long as you continue to attack, I believe it will not be long before you can storm the city. Some shouted in agreement, others bowed their heads in contemplation and did not speak.

Philip glanced at everyone and said, "If you don't have any opinions, tomorrow we will continue to attack the city according to the original plan!" Everyone nodded.

For the next two days, the Celestial Alliance continued to attack the city. For the time being, it was in full swing, the sky was full of cannonballs and arrows, and on the ground was the coalition army attacking the city like ants, swords and swords, flesh and blood flying. For two consecutive days, the Heavenly Kingdom coalition army continued to attack, and the Ming army had never encountered such a strong opponent since the end of the war with the Khitan State of Western Liao. However, the Celestial Alliance has never been able to make any progress.

That night, the commanders of the Heavenly Alliance gathered again in Philip's tent. Many people looked dejected, and the Duke of Denmark Odin said with a disgraced face: "The enemy's defense is beyond previous expectations, we lack heavy siege equipment, and it is too difficult to break through the city!" Andrew couldn't help but say: "I said a long time ago that the Ming Army is very strong, you just don't believe it!" ”

General John of England said: "The difficulty of the war is far beyond our previous expectations, and we don't know if we can win it if we continue to fight, and even if we can win, we don't know how many lives we will have to sacrifice!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but have the thought of retreating in their hearts. Although these Heavenly Alliances came in response to the Pope's call, they were actually just coveting the legendary eastern kingdom full of gold and silk, and wanted to reap huge profits from it. At the beginning of hearing the call of the Heavenly Pope, everyone thought that this battle was very simple, and the Oriental people who only talked about 'benevolence and righteousness' in the legend must be very cowardly and vulnerable.

However, things turned out completely differently than previously expected. After the arrival of their own army, those Easterners had no intention of negotiating at all, and the envoy who originally thought they would come to sue for peace did not even see a single figure now. And the strength of the enemy army is even more than previously expected, not only are they not cowardly, but they are also very strong in combat, and their will is like steel! Hundreds of thousands of troops stormed the city guarded by only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses for many days, not only did not make any progress, but paid a considerable price. If we continue to fight, I really don't know what the outcome will be, and even if we can win in the end, I'm afraid that there won't be many people left who can go back.

"I think we've done our best for God!" Marconor said. We have dealt enough blows to the enemy, we should withdraw our troops! As soon as these words came out, even many people echoed them. Andrew wanted to taunt him a few words, but after thinking about it, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Philip couldn't help frowning, and said, "If we go back like this, won't we be laughed at!" ”

Odin said disapprerovingly: "We are not defeated and fled, we have stood in the land of the heretical enemy, and we have dealt them a heavy blow. If you withdraw at this time, how can you be laughed at. Many people chimed in.

Philip said: "We can take the city, we shouldn't retreat now!" ”

Everyone looked at him silently, but the look on his face was self-evident.

Philip said: "After these few days of attacking, I have discovered a weakness in the opponent's wall. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be interested.

Philip continued: "There is a small inconspicuous place under their eastern wall, which must have been hollowed out by the erosion of the moat. The foundation of that small section of the wall was obviously loose, and if we concentrated the gunpowder we brought there and detonated it, it would have collapsed in an instant! Everyone's eyes lit up. Andrew said: "If we can collapse the city wall, it will only take half a day for us to destroy the enemy and occupy the city!" Everyone echoed it, and they all came to the appearance of spirit, and the depressed atmosphere just now was swept away.

Philip continued: "I think that tomorrow the onslaught will continue on all sides to attract the attention of the enemy, while our Eastern Route Army will detonate the gunpowder and collapse the city walls at this time!" As soon as the walls of the city collapsed, our army entered the city in one fell swoop, so that the enemy would inevitably be in chaos, and the other three directions would be able to attack the city! ”

"No, no, no!" Marconor was the first to jump out against it. Philip frowned and asked; "Is there something wrong with my plan?"

Marconor raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a big problem!" We pinned down the enemy for you in three directions, but you took the opportunity to collapse the city walls and attack the city, and then most of the wealth and women in the city became your spoils, how could there be such a good thing! The others chimed in, saying that Philip was too treacherous and was taking advantage of them.

Seeing that their plan had been seen through by them, Philip was embarrassed and annoyed, and said angrily: "I am in charge of the east, and the enemy's weakness appears in the east, so what can be done!" That's what God means! ”

Marconor scoffed and said, "Tianzhu doesn't mean that!" I think it's okay to besiege from all sides, but there must be more or less ground troops on all sides waiting outside the eastern city. In this way, it will be fair for everyone to rush into the city together! The crowd agreed.

When Philip saw this, he knew that he would not be able to do it if he did not agree, so it was better to nod his head and agree. Marconor immediately said, "Since everyone has agreed, let's discuss the number of troops to be placed in the east." Then the crowd bargained and quarreled. In the end, the parties reached an agreement that neither side was too happy with, but which was barely acceptable to all sides, and each side sent half of its troops to the east, so that the coalition troops assembled in the east would be half of the total force, more than 100,000 men.

Early the next morning, to the sound of huge war drums and trumpets, the coalition forces continued their onslaught on all sides. Yang Zhi saw that the enemy army had gathered almost half of its troops and horses to the east, and expected that the enemy must have made a big move in the east, so he transferred all the reserves to the east city to wait for the battle.

The fierce siege battle lasted from morning to noon, and Yang Zhi found that the enemy's attacks on the west, south, and north sides could all appear absent-minded, and there was no momentum at all like that of the previous days. Yang Zhi expected that the west, south, and north sides must be feints, so he increased his vigilance against the east, and at the same time ordered the cannons on the three sides of the batteries to turn around.

In the afternoon, the enemy's attack did not stop at all, and Yang Zhi became more vigilant, only feeling that the enemy's killer was coming.

At this moment, Huyan Bixian suddenly noticed something, I don't know when, a lot of gunpowder was piled up in a place under the city wall! Hu Yan Bixian suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. I saw that out of the surging tide of soldiers outside the city, several enemies with torches rushed towards the city wall. Huyan Bixian's eyes widened, and he pointed at the enemies who rushed over with torches in hand and shouted, "Shoot those who are carrying torches!" ”

More than 100 officers and soldiers who were shooting arrows around them immediately adjusted their direction and aimed at the few enemies with torches, and then the bowstring sounded, and more than 100 sharp arrows roared away. I saw those enemies fall to the ground with arrows. However, before Huyan could breathe a sigh of relief, another soldier picked up their torches and continued to rush. Huyan Bixian roared: "Keep firing arrows!" The arrows continued to fly, and the enemies stumbled and fell to the ground, and one of them, though wounded, did not fall to the ground, but rushed under the wall, throwing his torch into the middle of the powder keg. Huyan Bixian's eyes opened, and he shouted in his heart: "Not good! ”

Bang! A loud bang suddenly appeared, and in an instant, the sky shook, and stone corpses flew all over the sky! Huyan Bixian only felt a huge force surging, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily, dizzy, and couldn't figure out where he was for a while!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
