After the rout was exhausted, it was the official attack of the imperial army. The army of the imperial court attacked, but it was orderly, some pushed the shrimp toad cart to fill the trench in front of the city wall, and some set up stone throwing machines, threw huge stones the size of a millstone, and smashed the city wall.

There are also a number of crossbowmen, wielding various crossbow machines and bows and arrows, under the city wall, they start shooting at the rebels on the wall.

Originally, in terms of bows and arrows, the defensive side should have taken advantage. After all, the defenders are condescending and can throw arrows, and the enemies below want to shoot at the city wall, but the range is reduced.

It's a pity that there are too many crossbowmen in the enemy, and the variety of crossbow machines is really dazzling. There are not only bed crossbows that are launched at a long distance, but also large yellow crossbows with the power of three stones, and countless other various crossbow machines, which are fired together, but they are overwhelming the rebels on the city wall.

Coupled with the big stones thrown by the stone thrower from time to time, every stone that hits is a large number of people smashed into minced meat, and the city wall will collapse somewhat.

Even the people of the rivers and lakes with unique skills, in the face of such a stone-throwing like a heavenly punishment, are only no different from ordinary people.

For a time, although the morale of the rebel army recovered a lot under the encouragement of King An, it could not raise its head under the continuous attack of the enemy.

Fortunately, the enemy's arrows and boulders are not endless, and after shooting and smashing about a stick of incense, the arrow rain has gradually decreased a lot, and even the throwing stones are almost gone.

At that moment, the soldiers of the rebel army stretched out their heads in surprise, ready to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, a large number of the enemy's infantry troops had already reached the city wall, and began to erect ladders and prepare to attack the city.

Jiang Han shouted, picked up the big knife and slashed out, splitting a cloud ladder directly, and the enemy who was climbing fell down like dumplings.

With Jiang Han's demonstration, the rebel brothers also came back to their senses, and they all slashed and stabbed with spears, trying to destroy all the ladders on the city wall.

It's a pity that not everyone has Jiang Han's strength, and although the structure of the ladder is simple, it can be hooked at the front end to firmly lock the city wall.

The ladder was not destroyed, but the infantry of the imperial court continued to climb up from the ladder, trying to attack the fort.

For a while, the two sides engaged in long-range firing on the one hand, trying to suppress each other, but on the other side, they launched a tragic battle around the ladder.

Every second, countless people died tragically near this city wall, and even the martial arts masters in the military fort were injured at an extremely fast speed in such a tragic duel.

After all, on this battle array, it is not comparable to martial arts, most of them are the kind of fatal moves, or the opportunity to kill the enemy in exchange for injuries, but where there is room to dodge and move.

Many martial arts people are not adaptable, and they use martial arts such as white cranes flashing their wings and opening the door to steal the enemy, but they are stabbed by the enemy soldiers with a spear, and they are killed.

On the entire city wall, there were shouts of killing everywhere, and more and more enemy infantry troops were rushing towards the city wall along the constantly built ladders.

Gu Xiaotian and the others were also scattered, where there was danger, they would go, there were a few masters of them, but they also made some remedies.

As for King An, he stood on top of the highest tower, constantly giving various orders and guarding it. It's just that the rebel army in the fort does not have an advantage in numbers after all, and there is also a shortage of equipment.

After fighting for about an hour, when the sun was gradually setting in the west, the city was finally firmly occupied by the imperial army.

Even if Gu Xiaotian came, there was no way to drive these people down. After all, among these enemies, there have been Zhang Shouchang and shameless monks, who are masters of the rivers and lakes under Liu Jin.

At the moment, Jiang Han was quite anxious, and seized the opportunity to ask Gu Xiaotian: "Mr. Gu, can Mr. Li's poisonous mist be used again?" Now that most of the enemies are scorched on the city wall, as long as the poisonous mist is released again, it will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy army!"

"Hey!" Gu Xiaotian slapped several enemies away, and then said with a sigh, "The poisonous mist of the ghost doctor, the medicinal materials are extremely precious, and they can only be released once, but now there are no materials!"

"It's a pity!" Jiang Han was also quite disappointed when he heard this, so he had to muster up his courage and continue to slash at the enemy with a big knife.

Liu Jin and the others, who were watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but feel quite relaxed when they saw that their army had gained a firm foothold on the city wall.

Ma Yongcheng opened his mouth again: "Gong Liu, the soldiers have been fighting for a bloody battle for an hour, and they have finally achieved results! I am afraid that in another half an hour, they will be able to completely seize the head of the city, so that these rebellious ministers and thieves will have no place to hide!"

"It's too early to say this at this time!" Although Liu Jin was quite happy in his heart, he said, "Now we only occupy a small section of the city wall, although it is a small breakthrough, but it is still far from enough! Summoned Liu Ming, he sent siege engines to crash open the gate of the military fort! As long as the gate is broken, we will really win!"

"Liu Gong is wise!" Ma Yongcheng stopped talking nonsense, and immediately passed on the order.

After receiving Liu Jin's order, the commander of Liu Jin's army felt that it was not a good time, but he had to send the last reserve force, pushing an extremely huge siege vehicle, and slowly marched towards the military fort.

The fort was backed by a high mountain and could only be attacked on three sides. Therefore, the imperial army divided the army of more than 60,000 into four teams, one of about 14,000 people, and attacked on three sides.

The other team remained in the main camp as a battlefield reserve. This is a habit on the battlefield, and when the enemy is sure that it is safe, a reserve must be left behind, and beware of a change in form.

It's just that at this time, Liu Jin gave the order, obviously in a hurry to break through the military fort and capture King An. Although the commander Liu Ming has a twisted relationship with Liu Jin, he also knows that with this relationship, he can't influence Liu Jin's decision.

Therefore, Liu Jin gave an order, and he had to send half of the reserve team, followed by the siege vehicle, and killed the military fort from the front. The other half of the reserves, but they were all cavalry, and they were not good at attacking cities, so they patrolled outside the battlefield to prepare for the unexpected.

The soldiers of the rebel army over there fought bloodily with the imperial army, and from a distance, they also saw the huge siege vehicle, pushed by thousands of people, slowly walking towards the military fort.

Looking at this siege vehicle that was almost like a prehistoric beast, the soldiers of the rebel army had a chill from the bottom of their hearts, but they could understand that as long as the siege vehicle was close to the gate of the city wall, even if the gate was covered with a layer of iron, they could not resist the impact of the siege vehicle for too long.

At present, the soldiers of the rebel army can't help but feel a little desperate in their hearts, this time the enemy attacked together on three sides, and the rebel army had a little more than 20,000 soldiers, divided on the stretching city wall, and basically every section of the city wall had to bear several times the enemy of their own.

Now that the enemy has not only occupied a small part of the city wall, but also has such a terrible siege engine, the soldiers of the rebel army still think that the time for themselves and others to die is approaching.

At this time, Wan'er, who was behind King An, couldn't help laughing, and said to King An, who was a little worried: "Daddy, Liu Jin really sent the last reserve, we are going to be saved!"

"Wan'er, why are you still smiling!" King An didn't smile at all, pointing to the siege vehicle and said, "As long as that guy approaches the gate, it doesn't take a cup of tea, our gate will be breached!

"Hee-hee, Daddy, you don't have to worry, look there!" Wan'er smiled lightly, pointed to the sky, and said.

"What's the matter?" King An looked at the sound when he heard this, but saw that the sky was half dyed red at sunset, and among the fiery red clouds, an extremely small black dot could be faintly seen.

"Do you see that black dot?" Wan'er said proudly.

"See, what's wrong?" asked King An inexplicably.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a black eagle, a black eagle raised by Uncle Hu Dulu, and it is also the 'sentinel' of Zilong's southward army this time!" Wan'er said with a smile like a flower.

"Zilong's sentinel to the south?" Wang An understood in an instant, glanced at the black spot in surprise, and vaguely found that the black dot was really moving, and immediately turned around, looked at Wan'er and asked, "Wan'er, you mean, Zilong has led the army and came to the vicinity of the battlefield?"

"It should be!" Wan'er nodded and said, "At first, Liu Jin left nearly 20,000 horses in his own formation, and Zilong only had more than 9,000 rangers, even if he rushed out, he was afraid that it would be useless!

"Oh?" King An was also very surprised, looking at Liu Jin's main formation in the distance, there were also 7,000 cavalry troops, as well as more than 5,000 Liu Jin's personal guards, his eyes flashed with determination, and he shouted loudly, "Soldiers, fight to the end!"

After finishing speaking, King An personally pulled out the sword on his waist and jumped off the city tower at once, and Ah Niu and other guards behind him naturally also pulled out their swords and followed King An closely to kill.

The exhausted soldiers of the rebel army, who had already fought with the enemy, saw that King An actually joined the ranks of the fight, and they couldn't help but muster up some morale again, and roared one by one, and for a while, the enemy who had actually beaten couldn't help but retreat.

When Wan'er saw King An jumping down to participate in the battle in person, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood. It seems that King An understands that Zilong's army has arrived nearby, but he is worried that Zilong's army will not be able to quickly cut through the military formation of Liu Jin's army, so he wants to kill it himself, put a little pressure on Liu Jin, and let him send more men and horses.
