The northern soldiers were not rational at all, this was in Gan Ning's arms, and even he himself did not expect that the night attack on the enemy camp could be so smooth. Not only did he escape from the enemy camp alive, but he also led the enemy army to besiege the city...... This is a great joy.

Only by luring the enemy army to storm the city can Su Fei consume the enemy's strength as much as possible, and when the enemy army suffers in the strong attack and enters a long siege, the state capital reinforcements arrive, and the enemy army can retreat.

If they continue to surround it, Gan Ning and the others will not be able to continue to boost their morale like tonight, and they will become a tired army in three or five days, and they will not even be able to fight at that time, so what are they talking about defending the city?

Gan Ning came out of the dark river under the moat in the middle of the city with a ring knife, dragged his heavy clothes and climbed to the shore, threw the ring knife aside, pointed to the river and said loudly to the soldiers who were already waiting here: "There is no pursuer, put down the hanging door...... Go down to the river and pick up the weapons and armor. ”

The dark river runs along the city wall, but there is a gap under the city that is barely passable, and it is closed with iron locks in wartime. Gan Ning watched with palpitations as the hanging door sank into the water, and the hanging heart slowly calmed down after the charge. The brave men saved one in ten steps, although they killed many enemy soldiers, they only returned more than ten people in Caiyang, and there were more than ten horsemen outside the city, driving their mounts to lead three horses to the southeast in a circle, in order to lead away the pursuit of most of the enemy's cavalry.

The original plan was to go around to the avenue after the assault on the enemy camp and wound the horses, they relied on the trees in the forest to swim through the waterway before sunrise and infiltrated into the city, but when they abandoned the horses, there were more than ten people distressed about the mounts, and they were willing to lead the horses away, but Gan Ning had no choice but to return to the city. However, he was not worried about the lives of those cavalrymen, as long as the Liangzhou soldiers could not catch up with them, they would be able to escape by the water.

But this city, after sunrise, I don't know how many lives will die.

The war drums outside the city sounded, Gan Ning climbed to the top of the city, and Su Fei, who was quickly shuttling through the city to give orders, saw Gan Ning come forward with surprise in his eyes, and asked as he walked: "Good job, you angered them." How many men are left, let them rest, the people in the city are fully prepared, you boost the declining morale. ”

"There's no double ten left." Gan Ning let out a sigh of anger and said with a unbearable face: "There are more than ten horsemen who are reluctant to fight horses and lead most of the enemy army to the south. ”

Su Fei glanced at Gan Ning, but didn't say anything to comfort him, just patted him on the shoulder, avoided the soldiers who carried arrows and equipment from the city, and said to Gan Ning: "It's not too late to feel sorry for them if you win this battle, there are many soldiers in this battle who will sleep here, it may be me or you, but before I die, I need you to meet the enemy army in the city and help Su defend the east city." ”

Gan Ning clenched his fists and responded: "No! ”

"The water gate in the south of the city, I will send people to guard it at any time according to your wishes, and it can lead to the water. However, even if you go out of the city, you will encounter an enemy ambush, and if necessary, you will be asked to reopen the enemy army. Su Fei slapped Gan Ning twice, squinted his eyes at the white light that flashed in the east, and said, "It's almost sunrise, let's go to Dongcheng, or it won't be long before the enemy army will attack, and the north of the city is not safe." ”

Of course, the north of the city is not safe, here in the face of Jiang Jin's most of the frontal attack, with the sun shining on the earth, five stone cannons almost at the same time threw huge stones at the head of the city, dragging the sharp horror sound to smash on the city, next to each other to be injured, touched to die. The huge smoke and dust immediately knocked Su Fei to the ground. At the same moment, two huge stones weighing more than 100 catties flew from behind him, one shattered three female walls, crushed several soldiers from the city wall, and then fell from the other side of the urn city; The other smashed straight into the corner of the city gate tower...... Su Fei looked at the collapsed city gate tower with palpitations, Gan Ning saved his life.

If it weren't for Gan Ning who happened to come up and say a few words to him, he would have entered the city gate tower now, and then his head was crushed by the flying boulder!

"Spread out, spread out from the city gatehouse!"

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the accuracy of the catapult was limited by the hasty structure of the cannon body, which was easy to assemble and the shape of the stone bullet was irregular and could not be aimed, the five boulders should have directly collapsed the city gate tower.

"Don't aim at the city gate tower anymore, smash it towards the city gate tower Sizhou left, smash!"

Jiang Jin shouted an order to the stone artillery team in front of the formation one hundred and fifty steps below the city, and only one of the five stone bullets hit him, so the tone of the order became intense, "Hurry up, hurry up!" The enemy generals should be in the city gate tower, and they should be frightened and frightened by the hit, and now they should flee to the left and right of the city gate tower and smash it! ”

There is always only one easiest way to win in a siege, and that is to kill the enemy's leading generals, and if there is no one to defend the city, then even if there are 100,000 troops in a city, it will collapse in an instant. Relationships between people are sometimes simple and sometimes complicated, and even an army with stupid generals is much more difficult to deal with than an army without one. A general doesn't necessarily need much power, but having a general can bring the power of the army into one place, and vice versa.

Armies without generals do not belong to each other, and without captains, a few military marquis will be chaotic, and without generals, a few lieutenants will be chaotic. Then it will fall into internal strife, until all of them use various means to compete with the strongest as the new leader, so that the army has enough combat power.

The world is also like this, after Liu Hong's death, the world was in turmoil, and many foreign clans threw themselves into all kinds of princes, this is because people's hearts are scattered.

Internal friction is a bad thing, but internal friction determines that the final victorious general must be stronger and better than before.

After all, there were still too few stone cannons, and only five can't make all the defenders feel afraid, but after a moment of panic, some defenders threw arrows down on the city, although the distance was so far that they couldn't even penetrate the leather armor, but the huge number of Jingzhou soldiers in the city sent out a volley of arrows that was still terrifying. The overwhelming number of arrows fell in front of the formation, and Jiang Jin roared and ordered the stone cannons to bombard again.

Several groups of foot soldiers carried large shields to cover the foot soldiers who controlled the stone cannons, and then Jia Xu sent soldiers to lay earthworks in front of the battle to make up for the pressure caused by the height of the city for his own archers. In front of the battle, the crossbowmen of the two captain's departments had already stood in front of the formation and fired back at the city.

Five boulders flew over the city again, two boulders smashed through the female wall, and two crossed the city wall and bombarded the inner city wall of the urn city, and the huge vibration made the soldiers feel unstable in their footing. What really did the damage was the last flying stone, which smashed a large hole from the city and directly crushed the three foot soldiers gathered together into a pool of minced flesh and blood.

The flying stones frightened the enemy archers, giving their craftsmen enough time, and in a short time five huge earthen stones were built under the city, a few feet higher than the city walls, and then the crossbowmen climbed on the earth to shoot at the defenders of the city, which opened the prelude to the siege battle.

There were crossbowmen to suppress the enemy archers, Jiang Jin drew out his ring knife and shouted: "Rush, take the city!" ”
