Chapter 536 It’s dawn, time to go into the city

Yin time, four quarters.

The fierce battle around the East Gate Tower was still going on, but at this time the sound of roosters crowing could be heard in the suburbs of Nanze City.

Summer is approaching and the sun rises earlier than in winter. In the past, the farmers would prepare to get up early after the roosters crowed a few times, but that is not the case tonight. No one can feel at ease until the war is settled.

In fact, except for the young children, tonight was a sleepless night for Nan Ze. There was continuous artillery fire from the city wall. The battle that started yesterday afternoon continued until dawn today without stopping.

Even after the "Proclamation to Attack Jin" was sent into the city and they had been called up, the people living near the east gate had already packed up their belongings and headed west.

Today's Dongcheng District has become an empty shell, but this huge city is the home of everyone, so retreating at this time does not mean leaving Nanze forever.

Everyone is waiting for a result!

When the war subsides, will it be the Yan Army, which is known for being "invincible in attack and battle", that will win, or will the last members of the Daqian royal family successfully defend the city and defeat the Yan Army?

By now, even the dumbest person would have understood that the current battle situation must be disadvantageous to the Qian army, otherwise why would it last so long? This also means that after tonight, it is very likely that the sun and the moon will change and a new world will come.

At the same time, Wu Li, the current leader of the Southern Barbarians, who was in Guiyun City, was also not idle. Since the day he detained King Jing, he sent several smart and clever tribesmen to sneak into Nanze, just to investigate the war that King Jing mentioned would happen next.

Since the Yan army attacked Nan Ze, almost all of Nan Ze's Qian army forces were deployed on the east tower, so the city had already become loose.

The barbarian scouts entered the city easily, and a few brave and careful scouts even risked their lives to sneak into East City. Even though the battle taking place in East City was just one block away, it still made them keenly aware of the current situation.

The scouts then immediately sent people back to report the news. The outcome of the current battle and the judgment of the subsequent situation were enough to determine the future situation of the barbarians.

Like the people of Nan Ze City, the barbarians are also waiting for a result, but there are some differences. The people of Nan Ze only need to passively accept it and then face it calmly, but the barbarians need to make the most correct judgment before the result comes, and take actions that are consistent with the result.

At this moment, several maroon horses carrying barbarian scouts galloped out of the city under the disappearing moon and headed towards Guiyun City.

The war was urgent, and they were even more anxious. They urged their horses all the way, hoping to get back to Guiyun City as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the war horses raised by the barbarians were always extraordinary, and they thought they could reach Guiyun City before noon.

At 2:15 a.m., urgent military information sent from the city wall also reached the palace.

The news brought this time was that the Yan army bypassed the outer city and chose to attack the city from the north and south towers, and they had already gained some advantages.

Jin Fengluan was naturally shocked when he heard this, and immediately ordered the reserve troops in the inner city to fully support the city tower and make sure to prevent the Yan army from taking over the main city tower.

Her order was exactly the same as Jin Zhou's. When the Yan army came from the north and south, Jin Zhou also made the same decision.

But there is no doubt that the military intelligence transmitted at the hour of Mao has always been delayed. The battle an hour and a half ago has undergone completely new changes at this moment.

now.

"It's unstoppable! General!"

"Retreat! The main tower will certainly be captured by the enemy. We can't even retreat to the inner tower. They will catch up with us anyway. We have no choice but to abandon the city defense and retreat back into the city. There is more space there, and we may be able to gain some advantages with our military strength!"

Next to the stairs of the main city tower, the deputy general shouted anxiously to Jin Teng.

Jin Zhou's face was pale, and his whole body was completely wet with sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.

Although infantry had been continuously dispatched to the north and south towers to resist the enemy's offensive.

But although they are all infantry, there are also differences between them.

The enemy's combat power and determination were completely beyond common sense. The brutal fighting on the horse trail was not enough to make the enemy retreat, but made them even more courageous.

The infantrymen sent out by our side continued to fight with them, and both sides suffered casualties. The corpses piled on the road were even two feet high, and the blood spilled almost all over every brick and every wall.

Despite this, Jin Zhou continued to send troops from the inner city to reinforce, but even so, a quarter of an hour ago, the north and south city walls completely fell into the hands of the enemy.

And now, they have even captured most of the main city tower. The fierce battle forced Jin Zhou to retreat again and again. At this moment, he could only hide on the stairs.

The deputy general's shouting made Jin Zhou tremble all over. In fact, without waiting for him to say anything, Jin Zhou knew that the situation was hopeless. If he continued to fight in this situation, it would undoubtedly only cause more casualties on his side.

After all, as it stands now, the enemy's individual combat capability is much stronger, and fighting with them on this narrow city wall would be an endless pit that cannot be filled.

However, it now seems that the tactics he had arranged were completely ineffective. He had been defeated in the last battle of Datong. In order to make up for his mistake this time, he took the initiative to ask His Majesty for orders to guard the main city tower, but he failed again!

Jin Zhou felt dizzy and as if he was falling into an icy cave.

"General!"

"It's time to retreat!" the deputy general was still shouting.

Jin Zhou was finally brought back to his senses by the urgent shouts. He took a few quick breaths, then turned around abruptly and ran away quickly.

He was so fast that the deputy general could hardly react.

The next shout came from Jin Zhou's mouth:

"Just hit them randomly!" he said.

Jin Zhou's face turned pale as he ran wildly, his legs were almost flying, but his hands were not idle. He took off his helmet with great effort, as if he had lost his soul and just wanted to leave this place quickly.

As for where to go, he has decided to leave the city as soon as possible, even if it means escaping to the mountains and wilderness.

No one else can do anything about it. Anyway, he won’t fight anymore!

Watching Jin Zhou disappear in the crowd in a few breaths, the deputy general's face froze. After he recovered, he started to curse:

"Fuck you!"

"You deserve to die in Chase!"

Although he cursed, the war had not stopped yet, so the deputy general could only pull himself together and shouted loudly:

"Evacuate the tower! Retreat into the city!!"

5:15 am – 1:55 pm.

The Qian soldiers who had hurriedly evacuated the city wall finally returned to the city and retreated hundreds of meters. Of course, some were still evacuating, but most of them were injured and were already the remaining soldiers.

At this moment, in the distant east, a bright light dyed the sky, the long night finally passed, and when the night disappeared and the morning light rose, the new day was officially announced at this moment.

On the inner city tower, a blood-soaked Yan Bing appeared on the tower with a spear in his hand. The light of dawn shone from behind him. He laughed loudly:

"It's dawn! Let's go into the city!!!"
