Chapter 153: The Bloody Battle on the City Wall Dances of the Dead Souls, and the General is worried on the way to the gallop

However, the stability of the city did not have much impact on the overall situation, and further away, because the corner tower could not support, Tiande soldiers were rushing up in a steady stream.

The tall walls of Taiyuan City provided a huge advantage to the Southern Qi army, but it could not completely block the Tiande soldiers.

On the city wall, there are about 8,000 Nanqi soldiers in total, of which the archers account for about 4,000, and the Flying Tiger Department and the Wild Bear Department who are besieging the city have dispatched a total of 30,000 horses, and the total number of troops has exceeded the defenders of the entire Taiyuan City at this moment, not to mention that the Tiande soldiers who climbed the city wall sacrificed their lives to help the clansmen behind them fight for space, and there are more and more Tiande soldiers who climb the city, and they have firmly occupied one end of the city wall.

If this continues, the loss of the walls on both sides is a foregone conclusion.

Taiyuan City is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is no danger to defend after the city wall, if the city wall on both sides is occupied by Tiande, the city gate is exposed in front of the enemy, and it is absolutely difficult to resist Tiande's attack with Li Chengde alone.

Li Chengde found the Luo Song lieutenant and said in a loud voice: "This general, please immediately withdraw your archers into my defense area, and we will arrange a defensive line here to guard the city gate!"

The man knew that the military situation was urgent, the city gate was related to the safety of Taiyuan, and he had just received the favor of the other party, so without saying a word, he ordered his subordinates to join forces with Li Chengde and arrange a defensive line facing the city wall on the left.

The man said: "In Xia Luo Song Yang Tang, ask the general's name?"

Li Chengde said: "Li Chengde in Xiataiyuan!"

Yang Tang nodded, turned around and looked into the distance and said, "General Li, the city wall is already in danger, why haven't you seen reinforcements coming?"

Li Chengde said: "Don't worry, I think the reinforcements are already on the way!"

As he was talking, there was a sudden drum sound in the city, Li Chengde and Yang Tang glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Reinforcements are coming!"

On the avenue in the city, I saw a group of men and horses galloping towards the city gate from a distance, and a military general led by him was holding a giant axe, which was extremely powerful.

"It's our Lord Tang from Luo Song!" Yang Tang said happily.

The person who came was Tang Zijing, the deputy general of the Luosong City reinforcements, who was on duty in the barracks last night, so he was saved from death. Li Hengchuan received the news that the city wall was in danger, and immediately asked him to lead three thousand Arson troops to support.

"Don't stop! The soldiers split into two ways and rush up to the city wall!" Tang Zijing shouted, jumped off his horse, and led a group of people to rush to the stairs on the right side of the city gate, while the rest of the more than 1,000 people rushed towards Li Chengde and them.

"Reinforcements have arrived! Everyone kills!" Li Chengde shouted, and he would fight with the Luozon reinforcements in the front, and behind them, hundreds of archers bent their bows and arrows, splashing a dense rain of arrows, clearing the way ahead for them.

With the addition of this new force, the morale of the Southern Qi army was greatly boosted, and they fought hard to press the Tiande soldiers towards the edge of the city wall.

On the right side of the city gate, a rain of arrows flew over the corner tower, leaving corpses all over the ground by Tiande soldiers.

"Kill me!" A thunderous roar, Tang Zijing brandished a big axe and led more than a thousand people and horses to rush up.

Several Tiande soldiers let out a beastly howl and swung their swords to kill. Tang Zijing laughed, slashed the giant axe in his hand, and slashed head-on.

The swords and axes intersected, and the saber of the Tiande soldier was raised backwards in shock, and then there was a whining wind, and a head flew high and fell down the city.

Tang Zijing kicked the headless corpse

Body kick flying, laughing. He raised his head to the sky and roared, and rushed into the Tiande army, the giant axe flew over, chopping melons and vegetables, and killing four or five Tiande soldiers on the spot.

The Nanqi soldiers behind him saw that the main general was so powerful, and they couldn't help but be awe-inspiring, and rushed forward one after another. The Tiande soldiers were forced to retreat and close to the edge of the city wall, so that the Tiande soldiers behind suddenly lost the opportunity to enter the city.

The arrival of reinforcements from Luosong City turned the situation on the entire city wall in an instant, and the Southern Qi army gradually stabilized its position. The arrow array in the rear took the opportunity to exert its might, the arrow rain was swayed again, and the sound of the sky was endless, and the Tiande soldiers under the city suffered heavy losses.

The battle lasted for half an hour, and all the Tiande soldiers on the city wall were finally killed on the city wall, and the Nanqi soldiers threw down all their corpses and used them as rolling wood stones, and the flesh and blood were blurred at the foot of the Taiyuan city wall, and the corpses were all over the field.

In the Tiande army, Yelu Tailong frowned, the 30,000 troops who charged in the first wave had nearly 10,000 dead and wounded at the moment, and it was not easy to attack the city, but it was defeated by the Southern Qi. At this moment, the momentum of the besieging army has been curbed, and the physical strength of the soldiers has also been consumed.

"Mingjin withdraws the troops!" Yelu Tailong's generation of heroes knew the military affairs well, and immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn, without dragging the mud and water at all.

Chaganbala observed his words, only said that Yelu Tailong was dissatisfied with this siege, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the warriors of my Wild Bear Department still have the strength to fight, and I am willing to personally lead the team to attack the city!"

Yelu Tailong shook his head: "Chaganbala, don't be too careful. The walls of Taiyuan are high and strong, and they can never be captured in a battle. The warriors of the Flying Tiger and Bear Divisions have shown their bravery, and I am very relieved. Now that the Southern Qi reinforcements have arrived, the morale is high, and any further consumption will only increase casualties. Let's withdraw our troops for the time being, recharge our strength, and plan for another battle!"

Chaganbala then relieved himself, stepped aside, and said no more.

咣 ~ 咣 ~ 咣~

A piercing gong sounded, and the Tiande soldiers who were besieging the city were stunned, and they all withdrew their troops to stop the battle, without hesitation, and retreated like a tide.

The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Division formed a formation and fell behind, facing the city wall, their bows not leaving their hands, and they were on guard.

The Southern Qi archers on the city wall were forced back by the bows and arrows of the Flying Tiger Department as soon as they showed up, and they could only shoot a few rounds of feather arrows from a distance, but the results were not ideal, so they had to give up in order to save arrows.

The entire army of Tiande slowly retreated, and took up positions beyond the range of the trebuchets and ballistas at the head of the city.

Although the siege of the city did not win a complete victory, the Tiande soldiers took the opportunity to destroy a lot of trebuchets and ballistas, which undoubtedly reduced the obstacles for the next siege.

It was almost noon, the two sides were fighting, the physical strength of the soldiers was very great, the men and horses of both sides seized the opportunity to eat, and the two armies temporarily entered a state of truce.

On the battlefield, only messes and dense corpses remained.

At this moment, hundreds of miles away on the official road.

Smoke and dust are billowing and the carriages and horses are sparkling, and an endless army with no end in sight is speeding all the way.

In the distance, a knight galloped towards this large army, and went straight to the Chinese army without stopping, dragging a long tail in his mouth: "Report ~ ~ ~"

In the midst of the army, a burly general stopped his horse and looked at the galloping probe horse.

"Report to the general!" Immediately the knight jumped down and knelt on one knee, his body was dusty, his face was covered with loess, a few sweats flowed down, and a ravine was drawn on his face, "The Tiande army has millions of soldiers, and it has come to Taiyuan City, the two sides are fighting fiercely, and Taiyuan City has not been breached!"

Immediately, the general pushed the mask up, revealing a swarthy face, his face was square, with a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose, a full beard, and no anger and self-authority.

This person is Feng Zixiao, the first military general under the command of Zhou Zhengwu, the governor of Changfeng Province, and the official worships General Hongwei.

He was ordered to transfer a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses from the three counties of Nanxun, Chudu, and Xingyun in Changfeng Province, and galloped to the aid of Taiyuan City.

The military situation was urgent, Feng Zixiao did not dare to delay at all, he ordered the soldiers and horses of the three counties to set off at the same time in three ways, and then rendezvous after entering Taiyuan County.

The army he led was Nanxun's 30,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were elite divisions that had experienced a hundred battles.

Hearing the messenger's report, Feng Zixiao's brows furrowed, and his face was worried.

One of the generals behind him said: "The Tiande cavalry actually attacked under Taiyuan City so quickly, and now Hu Chao is dead, the army is buried, and the defenders in Taiyuan City are all patchwork, and their combat strength is worrying, I don't know if they can wait for us!"

Another humanitarian: "Tiandexing is a million people, almost all the country's soldiers, although the terrain of Taiyuan is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, but after all, there are too few military horses, I think it is a bit hanging!"

The man from earlier: "If we can get there before the city is broken, then it's okay to say." With the help of Taiyuan City, we can slowly consume it with Tiande. But if Tae-yeon is captured before we arrive, then we will be in danger. After Taiyuan, one horse and one horse, Tiande is all cavalry, on the plain, we are a live target!"

The generals were talking, and their words were full of worry.

As soon as Feng Zixiao raised his hand, everyone immediately fell silent. Feng Zixiao, as the first general under Zhou Qiuwu, has a very high prestige in the army.

"Can you find out where the other two groups of people are now?" Feng Zixiao asked.

The messenger said: "General Qiu of Chudu has now arrived in Hufeng City, and General Sun of Xingyun has just crossed Chaolu Mountain and is about to enter the realm of Wujing. ”

Feng Zixiao closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, opened his eyes, and ordered: "Immediately send an order to the three armies, and the cavalry of each department to break away from the army and rush to Taiyuan City first!"

Nanqi was engaged in agriculture and rarely raised horses, and there were very few cavalry in the Israeli army, and only 4,000 cavalry among his 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest were infantry, so the speed of travel was greatly limited. However, Taiyuan is in a crisis, time is running out, there is no time to wait, there is no time to wait, and if reinforcements arrive one step earlier, you will be able to have more confidence in defending the city.

Feng Zixiao's order was quickly executed, and Nanxun's 4,000 cavalry, led by the deputy general Murong Hong, set off first and rushed to Taiyuan first. At the same time, several messengers in the army galloped to the left and right, and they wanted to convey the order to the Chudu and Nebula armies on both sides.

The cavalry in the three routes of soldiers and horses combined, there are more than 8,000 people, which is definitely a big help for Taiyuan, which can solve the urgent need and buy more time for the follow-up army.

The hooves of the four thousand cavalry flew away, and gradually disappeared from sight.

Feng Zixiao said loudly: "The rest of the men and horses are also stepping up, and they must arrive at Taiyuan within three days!"

"No!" the army responded with a bang, speeding up.
