Outside the city of Ningjiang Prefecture.

Today is already the second day that the imperial army has arrived in Ningjiang Fucheng.

Yesterday evening, the imperial army arrived outside the city of Ningjiang Mansion and had already persuaded the city to surrender, but after a night, Ningjiang Mansion City did not have any response, but brought all kinds of things to defend the city on the city wall.

The cauldron of boiling mist was boiling with gold juice, and the boulders and logs were piled up on the city walls, just waiting for someone to attack the city and throw them down.

and the longbows in the hands of the defenders are always ready to give the imperial army a round of throwing.

However, in Ding Hongguang's view, these measures to defend the city are just mantis arms blocking the car, and they are in vain.

Nowadays, the form of warfare has changed, and they are still using the ancient methods of defending the city, but they don't know that they are not facing an ordinary army in the feudal era.

Rather, it is a new army that has entered the age of semi-firearms!

The besieging side can no longer only be filled with human lives, and the presence of artillery is a prelude to the imminent disappearance of the city wall!

As the time approached the deadline for surrender set yesterday, there was still no response from the entire Ningjiang City to surrender when the time arrived.

So Ding Hongguang immediately ordered an attack.

First of all, two hundred artillery pieces were pushed to the front of the formation, and with Ding Hongguang's order, two hundred artillery pieces began to roar!

The next moment, the defenders of Ningjiang Mansion City who were preparing to defend ushered in a special scene that they had never seen in their lives!

Skyfire Meteor!

Thundered! bang

Thundered! Bang!

……

The cannonballs pierced the sky, and a full two hundred cannonballs bombarded the city wall of Ningjiang Mansion and exploded violently!

A violent shaking made the defenders of Ningjiang Mansion standing on the tower of the city gate unstable, and many of them fell directly to the ground.

After a while, they came back to their senses in shock, but before they could calm down, the second wave of artillery came again, and there was a shaking of the defenders, and they could clearly feel that the originally solid city wall under their feet had begun to crumble a little at this moment.

The sharp-eyed one poked his head out, and the next moment he screamed.

"Oh no, the walls are coming down! Run! ”

It turned out that as he poked his head out, he saw that the originally strong city wall had been blown out of a big hole by the imperial army at some point!

Dense cracks spread in all directions along the crater.

In just these two rounds, the entire east gate of Ningjiang Mansion has been blown up with cracks everywhere!

His roar was like a signal, and more people began to poke their heads out to look at their walls, only to see what was happening.

By the time they saw that the walls were about to collapse, the other defenders had to trust him, for they could clearly feel that their feet were already shaking.

At this time, the defenders suddenly couldn't stand at the gate, and they rushed towards their nearest way down the city.

The officer in charge of them was also afraid to run with them.

When Liu Biao, the commander of the army who had just returned from the county guard, received the news of the imperial army attacking the city and rushed to the city wall, what he saw was the scene of a group of defenders fleeing frantically towards the city.

Anger rose suddenly, he drew the long knife at his waist, caught a soldier who passed by him and ran away, and killed him with a pop, and shouted angrily:

"Where's the Warlord! Where are the Overseers dead? Deserter slash! ”

His shout and his crisp and neat killing action made his surroundings suddenly quiet, and an anxious high voice sounded more than a dozen paces away from him:

"General! Checkmate! We're here! General Run! The walls are falling! ”

The walls are coming down?

Liu Biao's mind is full of question marks, who is talking nonsense?

The city wall of Ningjiang Mansion has been reinforced, collapsed? How could it collapse?!

And yet the next moment!

Thundered!

Another deafening roar came from outside the city!

Next!

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly there was a burst of explosions.

Immediately after that, all the people near the city wall clearly heard a burst of overwhelming crunching sounds!

At this moment, the defenders who had just quieted down because of Liu Biao's actions suddenly went crazy!

I couldn't care about anything else anymore and began to run away desperately.

And Liu Biao originally wanted to catch two people and kill people, but he didn't have time to raise a knife again, so he was coerced by the crowd and ran backwards.

As for the guards he brought, they didn't play a role in such a flow of people at all. In the blink of an eye, there was no figure, and I didn't know where I was squeezed by the crowd.

As the defenders of the city fled, the walls that were under constant bombardment were finally overwhelmed!

With a crisp loud bang, it began to collapse inward!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gravel Splash! Cracked into large pieces of the city wall continued to fall, smashing to death the defenders who didn't have time to run out of the city wall, and smashed the defenders into a pulp in an instant!

Smoke began to rise from all directions.

After the rubble fell to a certain extent, the entire east city wall was only one or two meters above the city wall, and the other walls on it directly fell down in large pieces!

"My mother! Help me! ”

"I want to go home!"

"Lady!"

"My son!"

"Uncle save me!"

"Daddy! Save me! Save me! ”

A large number of defenders who were squeezed by the crowd in front of them and couldn't run away shouted in despair as they watched the wall above their heads fall down, but everything was useless, no matter how loud they shouted, the collapse of the city wall could not be avoided!

With a deafening thud, the eastern wall finally fell to the ground.

And the screams just now stopped abruptly at this moment......

The smoke on the inside gradually dissipated, and the defenders who had managed to avoid the collapse of the city wall stared blankly at the scene in front of them, no one spoke, and no one could speak!

Liu Biao watched this scene in the crowd, his lips were constantly trembling, and his heart was cold as he looked at the ruins of the East Gate in front of him tremblingly!

The walls have collapsed!

How did this collapse?

Could it be that the group of construction guys cut corners?

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The most important thing is, without the city wall, how can the collapse resist the army of the imperial court?

Is it a field war with the imperial army?

Looking at many of his soldiers who were already scared and sat on the ground, Liu Biao showed a wry smile on his face.

"General! Checkmate! ”

Eventually, there was movement in the crowd, and his personal guards finally found him and quickly gathered around.

And all the defenders also heard this shout of the guards, and looked at each other, only to find that their main general was also in the crowd.

There was an uproar, and a large area was instantly vacated around Liu Biao.

And the other surviving generals began to gather.

Liu Biao saw the deputy general who had temporarily commanded him in Dongcheng before, and hurriedly called him over: "Yu Liang! ”

"General!"

Yu Liang, who was five big and three thick, came to Liu Biao in two steps and answered with his hands.

Liu Biao hurriedly asked, "What happened just now?" Why did the walls collapse? And what about our losses so far? ”

Yu Liang suddenly said with a bitter face: "General, the imperial army used a weapon similar to a catapult, and directly destroyed our city wall, and just now at least more than 3,000 people died due to the collapse of the city wall when the city wall collapsed!"

What's more, all the supplies we had prepared to defend the city are now gone.

And without the walls, we can't defend the city! ”

Liu Biao understood this, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and stop the army from forming a formation, the imperial court has collapsed the city wall, and then I am afraid that it will be a big attack!" ”

"No!"

Yu Liang nodded solemnly, and quickly went to organize the formation of people.

At this time, the imperial army outside the city did not directly advance the army as Liu Biao thought, but instead launched a series of divine fire flying crows aimed at the east city of Ningjiang City, which was slowly spreading smoke!
