Chapter 975 I can’t stand it anymore

Even Qian Ping and the three men were silent. From the beginning of this war to now, today's battle should be the most intense. It may also be because the reinforcements of King Zhennan from elsewhere have arrived, so King Zhennan has brought out the most elite troops today. army.

This group of troops really gave King Zhennan face. When they reached the city wall, His Royal Highness's army could not resist it. Those who could climb the city wall were much physically stronger than others, and they His combat skills are also relatively good. Although only a few hundred people went up, they still killed the king's troops on the city wall until they howled like ghosts.

His Royal Highness the King immediately mobilized his men and horses, hoping to push back the rebels on the city wall. Just as his men and horses passed by, there was another loud crashing sound under the city wall. It turned out that King Zhennan's army began to attack the city gate again. , originally hoped to use stones to collapse the city wall, but did not expect that it would be too difficult.

Whenever there was a gap in the city wall, the people above would use the surrounding things to block it, so King Zhennan changed his strategy. He decided to let his men directly smash the city gate in the same way as he did a few days ago. Open, the cavalry behind is ready. As long as the city gate is knocked open, the cavalry will rush in as quickly as possible. After entering, no matter what, as long as they obey the king's orders, they will kill.

Behind them are five thousand carefully selected soldiers. These people are also the elites in the hands of King Zhennan. They are similar to those who attacked the city wall. As long as the cavalry and these five thousand soldiers enter the royal city, the overall situation will basically be over. Certainly.

"Send people to hold up the city gate, and quickly transport lamp oil there. We can't let them continue to hit the city gate. The city gate can't hold on."

A general said loudly that although his soldiers agreed, there was no lamp oil around. The frequency of attacks on the city in the past few days was too high. They had poured down a large amount of lamp oil, although there was still a part of the city. Storage, but due to lack of transportation tools and personnel, the lamp oil has not been transported yet. To put it bluntly, consumption cannot keep up with the supply, so there is very little lamp oil available on the city walls.

If there were no troops of King Zhennan on the city wall, then their soldiers could still pull the lamp oil over from a distance, but now hundreds of soldiers of King Zhennan appeared on the city wall, and other soldiers also followed the ladders Climb up, and soon they will be unable to resist it. Once they get to that point, who will care about the gains and losses of the city gate below?

A bucket of lamp oil still fell from here, but the soldiers below were already experienced. They closed their shields and poured the hot lamp oil directly on the shields. Although some people were burned to the point of screaming, they did not Not much lamp oil sticks to the wood, and even if other archers shoot arrows, the damage to the wood below will be extremely limited.

The king of Zhennan specially discussed this strategy with his men. When the lamp oil started to be poured from above, dozens of nearby soldiers used their shields to form a house-shaped thing, and then let the lamp oil flow to the ground along the shields. , and it is far away from the big log in the middle. Even if all the lamp oil is ignited, our siege log will not be much damaged.

"Archers prepare, the city gate cannot hold it anymore."

After hitting the city wall again and again, the general also saw that if he was hit three more times at most, I am afraid that the gate of the royal city would not be able to withstand it, so the archers in the city below had to be ready, and the city gate would be blocked later. When they are knocked away, a volley from the archers may be able to kill a large number of soldiers outside the city.

This is also the last chance for the army in the city. When a large number of soldiers outside the city die, if they can seize this opportunity and close the city gate again, then they can still maintain their original status, but if they cannot close it, then the bows and arrows will You have to retreat quickly, and the cavalry outside will rush in quickly. The archers have no advantage when facing the cavalry. Instead, these cavalry will regard the swordsmanship and falling of the cavalry as merits of the cavalry.

The city gate was finally knocked open, and the blocking wood inside had been broken. Hundreds of soldiers were still at several gates, trying to block them with their own flesh and blood. Unfortunately, their flesh and blood bodies Without such great strength, after the army outside the city pushed open the gate, these people did not retreat, but continued to push the huge log in.

The archers in the city began to shoot arrows in unison. The soldiers outside knew that the chance of survival was very small, but this is what they do. There are also archers from King Zhennan waiting behind. If you retreat now, , but they will die in the hands of their own people. No matter how far they press forward, they still have a certain chance of surviving. Even if they fight against the odds now, they still have to press forward.

When the huge log entered the city gate, the army in the city had been defeated. They didn't even think about closing the city gate, because there was such a long piece of wood here, and it was impossible to open the city gate again. It was closed, so in addition to the archers present, the people who were originally scheduled to retake the city gate here also began to retreat.

War is like this. If everyone is nervously attacking, they can still hold on for a long time. But if some people are ready to retreat, then it may be like contagion, and one after another wants to go. He ran backwards, lest he run too slowly and become someone else's victim.

King Nanzhao had disappeared on the city wall. When he attacked the city gate just now, this guy had already seen that it was no longer interesting to stay on the city wall, so he rode a fast horse back to the palace quickly. At this time, he took advantage of As long as there is no chaos in the city, he can still gallop on his horse. If he waits for the rebels outside the city to come in, I am afraid that the entire royal city will be in chaos.

The troops on the city wall were still fighting. They didn't know that the city gate had been breached, but the young men under the city wall had escaped completely. They didn't want to wait for the army outside the city to kill them all, so when they saw When the city gate was breached, they followed His Highness the King and began to run in. But His Highness the King was able to run back to the palace, so they could only run back to their homes.

But they were a little scared when they ran back to their homes, because His Highness the King should have failed now. If King Zhennan became the king, these people had helped the original king, and King Zhennan would never let him go. Anyone who crosses them will definitely be pulled out and beheaded.
