In Ankang City, after posting the notice of Anmin, the officers and troops have also been assembled.

He Kegang didn't say a word, and immediately led an army of 35,000 to Weinan in addition to Ankang City.

Although he couldn't catch up with Li Zicheng, He Kegang's plan was to send someone to inform He Renlong first, asking him to give up the siege for the time being, find a place with good terrain and set up camp, and wait for him to lead his troops to Weinan, and then the two sides would join forces again, and then agree on a plan to attack Weinan City according to the situation.

He only left a few thousand people in Ankang City, but he asked people to inform Hanzhong again, and asked Hanzhong to bring another 10,000 horses to Ankang, on the one hand, to prevent Gao Yingxiang's troops from counterattacking, and on the other hand, to plan follow-up actions.

At the same time, he also sent Qin Shuhuai an urgent report of eight hundred miles, hoping that he could help transfer some more people over - after all, now that the main force of the Demon Sect has been defeated, Baoji City can no longer use so many soldiers and horses to defend it!

Weinan City.

June 12th.

He Renlong held back for three days, and finally held back 400 ladders, 60 archer platforms, and siege equipment such as "armor carts" with baffles in front (generally the army does not carry too many siege equipment, just imagine how slow it is to drag a few tons of archers and 10 meters high platforms to march?, so as long as there are conditions, it is more cost-effective to cut wood on site.) Because the siege of the city often involves tens of thousands of people, it is relatively fast to do).

As soon as he gave the order, the Ming army immediately attacked Weinan City from the west gate and the north gate.

Each of these two places is equipped with 200 ladders, 30 archer platforms, and 20 armored chariots!

There is a wooden row seven or eight meters high and five or six meters wide in front of the car, which is placed at an inclination of 50 degrees backwards to resist bows and arrows, strong crossbows, etc., which can effectively protect the soldiers in the back row.

Twenty armored vehicles can protect at least seven or eight hundred people to reach the city safely at one time. Afterwards, the six or seven hundred people quickly set up the ladder and began to climb.

Behind the first cart was the second echelon of the Ming army with shields, who followed closely behind and rushed to the bottom of the city, and then continued to climb the ladder.

After completing the task, the twenty armored vehicles rushed back and did not stop protecting the seven or eight hundred people of the third echelon to reach the city.

At the same time, the archer's platform was still in place. Each platform is fourteen or fifteen meters high, exceeding the twelve meters of the city wall of Weinan City, and there are ten archers on each high platform, and thirty high platforms are three hundred archers, these archers condescendingly shoot a rain of arrows, responsible for suppressing the Liukou defenders at the head of the city.

This is the biggest difference between the siege of the Ming army and the siege of the Demon Cult. The Demon Cult has never prepared these things for the siege of the city, because they have a more effective weapon, that is, the terrifying Demon Cult masters. With these masters here, the Ming army at the head of the city will be completely disrupted as soon as the battle starts, and it will lose the ability to fight back, so where does the Demon Sect need to spend time and effort to make these? It's just that the Demon Sect is unlucky, and when it encounters demons like Qin Shuhuai, it actually recruits the masters of the entire martial arts to help, otherwise it will not be too difficult for the Demon Sect to attack the city and plunder the land!

Straight to the point.

The offensive of the officers and troops is not without violent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is overwhelming.

The Weinan guard was Liu Guoneng, a general under Gao Yingxiang. This person is known as "breaking into the sky", just by the word "breaking" in front of him, you can see his strength in the rogues. You must know that the nickname of Liukou can still be worthy of the word "Chuang", only Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, and Li Zicheng, the general of Chuang.

Liu Guoneng was not chaotic in the face of danger, he personally climbed to the top of the city and commanded the army to launch a fierce counterattack.

On the four walls of Weinan City, each city wall is equipped with three Buddha machines. After a long period of training, the gunners of the rogue have become more proficient in operating the Franc machine. Their target was the Ming army who came up with a shield on their backs. The shield can block bows and arrows and crossbow arrows, but it can't block the cannonballs, and the shields of the Ming army are not so much, a big shield often has to be followed by five or six people, and when attacking the city, in order to have more people rush to the city wall at the same time, the formation will naturally be denser, so that a cannon goes down, and the Ming army often has to fall a small piece.

On each city wall, Liu Guoneng arranged another 400 archers and 200 crossbowmen. The archers were used against the archers on the high platform of the Ming army's archers and were responsible for counter-suppression. The two hundred crossbowmen were responsible for shooting the shieldless soldiers gathered under the city, or the Ming army who were climbing the ladder.

In addition, Liu Guoneng also put three large vat at the head of the city that several people couldn't hold, and there was a raging fire underneath, which was full of boiling oil and bubbling. Boiling oil is not edible oil, but a veritable "gutter oil", which is usually pulled out of the city restaurants and filtered.

A spoonful of boiling oil will either cause the Ming army on the ladder to scream and fall, or let the Ming army under the city run away, which is definitely a "big killer" with low cost and high efficiency.

Under Liu Guoneng's all-out counterattack, the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Soldiers kept falling down the ladder like dumplings. And the Ming soldiers who rushed to the bottom of the city wall and had not climbed up were no better, they were either splashed with boiling oil or shot by crossbow arrows, and the soldiers with shields were better.

The scolding, roaring, and screaming of the Ming army were all together, and I have to say that the tragedy of this siege battle far exceeded He Renlong's imagination!

Every time he fell, Binghe Renlong's heart would be pinched, but he was used to it.

At this time, the Jianghe Gang and the Wulin Coalition were all still behind, because they had no experience in siege, so this array of He Renlong naturally would not let them fight. These people were frightened and indignant at the back, and they only wished that they could not grow a pair of wings and fly to the top of the city to fight those rogues.

After paying the price of more than 2,000 people, He Renlong's Ximen in charge of the attack finally broke through!

More than a dozen heroic Ming troops took the lead in climbing the city wall, they fought hard, and covered with their own lives More Ming troops poured up!

He was overjoyed that he had finally broken through!

He immediately ordered the martial arts alliance to go up and climb the ladders that had been torn open and guarded by the Ming army at the head of the city. There are about twelve or thirteen of these ladders, with the average cultivation of the martial arts coalition army, the ladders more than ten meters high can quickly go up, and after going up, because of their strong individual combat ability, they are bound to be able to quickly expand the mouth and take the city in one fell swoop!

When Chen Jing and Lai San'er heard the order, they immediately flushed with excitement!

They haven't fought a single battle since they set out on the expedition! They have been waiting for this moment for a long time!

Lai San'er immediately pulled out his long sword and roared, "White Tiger Hall listens to the order, kill with me!"

Chen Jing also roared, "Brothers, the opportunity to make a contribution has come, kill!"

Fifteen hundred Jianghe Gang brothers immediately roared in unison and took the lead in rushing forward.

Behind them, more than 10,000 martial arts alliance troops also immediately followed the footsteps of the Jianghe Gang in accordance with the pre-divided echelons, and rushed forward with a roar!
