Chapter 59

During this general attack, he dispatched all his follow-up forces in Chu State, with a total of 30,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 bandits.

But now, those almost shirtless tribal warriors were killed and injured. Although this was nothing to the troops in his hands, he could not stand the attack's failure.

The trenches under Fenghuáng City seemed to be insurmountable. Long ladders were broken, and groups of soldiers climbed into the trenches. The water in the trenches had been dyed bright red by blood, but no one was allowed to cross him. Do you have to watch the bodies of your subordinates fill it up?

Fill in?

Mr. Ma's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, fill it up!

In this way, Fenghuáng City has a barrier that blocks its own army, but it is not a corpse or a stone, which can be obtained everywhere at the foot of the Tuojiang River!

The Chu soldiers retreated. In fact, they were unable to get close to the castle. The trench filled with water was the closest place they reached to the city wall. Although the retreat was not in line with their brave personality, they still faithfully carried out the command of the leader.

The Chu soldiers retreated. Although this was abnormal, the facts were right in front of us, and the defenders of Fenghuáng City were surprised and glad.

But their victory brought serious bad luck to the nearby villages of Dasong refugees.

Most of the refugees near Fenghuáng City have entered the city to hide from the war.

The savage nature of the Chu soldiers was revealed without any concealment. These losers who had just been on the battlefield were forced to fight at the risk of their lives, and they had also seen with their own eyes that many of their comrades sacrificed their lives, which made them involuntarily produce terrible and destructive things. Therefore, they who failed to do on the battlefield vented everything on people who had no resistance.

The scorching flames were devouring everything in the village that suited its appetite. Countless villagers shouted and fled. Behind them, the Chu people with ferocious faces were obviously red-eyed, either chasing with sharp blades or raising torches to set fire.

The flames looked even brighter under the moonlight, just like the blood everywhere in the village, and the terrible wail made people feel a chill.

Amid the wailing, the screams of the women seemed particularly harsh.

Compared with women, the male relatives and friends who were killed or even burned were suffering much less.

The women struggled, cursed, and bite, trying every means to resist the rude men, but all their resistance seemed so weak.

Lin Xirui and Meng Jiang, who followed Mr. Ma, went on the battle with Mr. Ma, were shocked when they saw these scenes. Lin Xirui immediately asked Mr. Ma to stop the killing.

Mr. Ma San said viciously: These untouchables were originally the people of my Great Chu, but now they have betrayed me. All the old, weak, sick and disabled are killed. All the young and strong men are transporting stones for me.

The second half of the night was quite calm, but not calm. The enemy's retreat was too abnormal and did not meet the character of the Mongols at all.

Zhanlong ordered half of the defenders to put on clothes and take time to rest, and ordered half of them to continue holding weapons and be highly alert. Any movement would attract intensive shooting of bows and arrows.

However, the calm continued, and another sudden attack in the middle of the night did not happen.

At dawn, when Song Jun, who had been tortured by the tense atmosphere all night, was about to have breakfast, the sound of the horn of the police called the police turned all his appetite into a bubble.

Hundreds of rough-working wooden chariots filled with stones were launched from the Chu Bing camp far below the city. Each was pushed by several soldiers and slowly approached the trenches under the city surrounded by the Mongolian siege army holding shields.

Zhanlong looked at the enemy. The scene in front of him made him sweat. He knew that the trench could not delay the enemy's time too much, but now it seems that the time it lost its function was earlier than expected. They wanted to fill our trench!

He shouted loudly to the soldiers around him, Brothers, everyone's bows and arrows must have their eyes!

Sima Ziyan looked at the movements of the Chu soldiers and ordered: Throw a stone!

The giant arm of the stone catapult was raised again, and the stone was almost overwhelmed and flew out of the city, and more than a dozen wooden cars were immediately smashed into scrap.

The sound of horse hooves came, and the Chu soldiers near the wooden cart immediately made way out. The cavalrymen put ropes on the wooden cart and tried hard to pull the wooden cart forward. The infantry behind the cart continued to push the body of the cart. With their joint efforts, the speed of the wooden cart advanced was amazing, so that when the soldiers of the Song Dynasty installed a molten bottle on the catapult, they were horrified to find that most of the wooden carts had rushed into the corner of the catapult's attack.

There was a heavy rain of arrows pouring down the city wall, but those wooden cars were not afraid of archery at all. How many arrows were inserted into the car was just itchy, and there was no substantial damage to the wooden cars. The Chu soldiers who pushed the cart suffered heavy casualties, but their number was terrible. After falling down, one group of them rushed up to push the wooden cars.

After several tug-of-war, when the bodies left by the Chu soldiers on the ground in front of the trench under the city were covered by another batch of new corpses, they were finally able to quickly dump the stones on the wooden cart into the trench.

The water was splashed with heavy stones. Soon, countless passages could be spread on the trench were paved with stones, and the Chu soldiers howled and covered them up.

The arrow rain on the city wall did not stop at all, but among the fearless siegemen, they could only splash blood flowers, and they had no power to stop their advancement. Under the city wall, they had become a hell of death. Under the stimulation of blood, the Mongolians who had become ferocious in their faces roared wildly, stepping on their companions' bodies and rushing up with yelling. The group in front fell down, and the companions behind continued to step on their bodies.

The soldiers of Fenghuáng City no longer need to aim at it. The bows and arrows in their hands were mechanically fired forward, and every arrow shot randomly could hit an enemy soldier, but the bows and arrows in their hands could not kill all the enemies. After the crazy enemy stepped on the bodies of countless companions, they finally attacked under the city wall!

Dozens of long ladders had already been put on the city wall, and teams of fierce Chu soldiers were holding shields and nibbling swords to climb up with extreme flexibility. Zhanlong quickly commanded the Song soldiers on the city wall to immediately block the archers, and struggled to lift the stone logs and smash them down hard. Chu soldiers were constantly being smashed from the ladder. When they fell to the ground, most of them had broken brains and blood.

But the Chu soldiers below were still climbing up, and ladders were pushed down. A long list of Chu soldiers fell to the ground with a scream of exclamation, and fell to the ground in pain. But they immediately struggled to get up, and together with more companions coming from behind, they supported the long ladder onto the city wall again, continuing their decisive attack.

The feathered arrows flew up and down, stones roared down, countless long ladders were pushed down, and then they were stubbornly returned to the towering stone wall again. Some Chu soldiers finally climbed onto the city wall. The soldiers on both sides waved weapons and fought against the narrow city wall. One corpse after another fell to the city wall, and the fierce Chu soldiers were always blocked from the city wall.

Pour the boiling oil down!Seeing that there were more and more Chu soldiers at the foot of the city wall, Sima Ziyan shouted loudly.

The soldiers worked together to lift the steaming pot on the city wall, pouring the boiling oil on the heads of the enemy under the city. The desolate screams under the city were endless. Countless Chu soldiers were poured over by hot hot oil. Their hair, their faces, and their bodies were melting like rotten corpses. Only a bloody skeleton left, making a scream from the throat, twitching and falling to the ground, rolling and twisting, and the battlefield stood full of unpleasant burning smells.

The fourth lady was even more brave. She leaped onto many corners of the city wall with a three-pointed and two-edged sword in her hand, and used the blade to forcefully block the Chu soldiers who were climbing up. Her powerful sword was heavy, and she blocked a section of the city wall that was more than two meters wide by one, so that the Chu soldiers who were siegeing the city could not easily cross the line.

In the distance, Mr. Ma San looked at the city standing and constantly devouring the lives of his soldiers with extremely distressed eyes.

On the map, this city is just a small icon. As far as he knows, the enemy's troops are only a few thousand people inside, but they guard the vital granary, completely disrupting his strategic deployment. In order to capture it, he has already suffered huge casualties.

Put the cannon up and beat me hard!

Zhanlong ordered loudly, and the soldiers immediately did as they did. One spherical objects with fire eyes on the muzzle fell outside the city and broke the moment they touched the ground. The oil scattered from the debris, contacting the flames on the ground, and burned violently. The flames quickly spread around along the flow of oil.

The ground was filled with corpses and oil that had been dumped before. As soon as they touched Mars, they quickly burned, turning the ground into a sea of ​​fire.

The Chu soldiers under the city suddenly exploded, and the sea of ​​fire immediately swallowed them. They were burning, screaming in pain, rolling hard on the ground, running out with fire all over, trying to escape the deadly fire, but eventually they would fall into the flames forever.

The Chu soldiers and warriors wielding giant axes were still chopping down the city walls. They had no feeling that the flames had already crawled over their bodies, and the cold air was dispelled by the scorching ignition. Now, except for the higher combustible substances, their bodies were no different from the fragile Chu infantry, and eventually turned into ashes in the sea of ​​fire.

The Chu soldiers retreated again. This time it was not because of orders, but because of their complete fear. They could not cross the sea of ​​fire that devoured everything and continue to attack the city wall.

The flames stopped the battle for a long time until a fire that was extinguished by a heavy rain at noon.

The tens of thousands of troops of Mr. Ma began to attack frantically again, and ironically, they were only facing the thousands of tiger and wolf troops trapped in the lonely city.

The Chu soldiers advanced on the battlefield full of scorched corpses. As usual, they were greeted with dense rain of arrows and falling rocks on the city walls.

On the tower of Fenghuáng City, Zhanlong paid attention to the development of the battle with a silent look.

The blood on the battlefield has awakened the arrogance and bloodthirst deep in his heart as the God of War.

There are countless lives inside and outside Fenghuáng City disappearing in the wail and despair, but he can be completely indifferent to this. War is death and destruction. This is the consciousness that he has planted in his genes as a god of war. Since that is the case, what obligation does he have to move for this most normal death?

The battle has lasted for several hours without realizing it, which made Zhan Long frown. The situation of the battle is developing invisibly in the direction that is not conducive to his own shortage of troops. This battle has completely evolved into an authentic war of attrition.

Suddenly, a loud bang came, and the soldiers up and down the city wall seemed to feel an earthquake. The city wall, which was cut by the elite warriors of Chu State, could not hold on and finally collapsed!

The strong defense line of the city that Song Bing was finally opened.

The wall collapsed!The city wall collapsed!

Feng Huáng was filled with such shouts inside and outside, and countless Chu soldiers began to rush into the castle wildly... This finally caused unprecedented panic and chaos in Feng Huáng City. For a moment, the entire Feng Huáng City seemed to have been trapped in the fire of war...

Six Generals!Lord Gu climbed up the tower with a breath of breath, and the gap was almost unable to resist. What should we do?

There was no change in expression. Zhan Long just looked at Lord Gu at the door with his cold eyes. His gaze made Lord Gu feel as if he was in the extreme. Listen, General Gu, it's time for you.

After a while of silence, Lord Gu gave a very satisfactory answer: I am not a coward, Sixth General!

Watching the tragic back of the tragic figure who was determined to disappear from the door, Zhan Long turned around and ordered the deputy general beside him to assemble the reserve team and follow me!

The most elite soldiers in Fenghuáng City were immediately gathered together. They were reserve teams that the Yang family generals remained unmoved even in the most dangerous moments before. When they received the assembly order, they felt that their blood was boiling. A desire for battle deeply stimulated their hearts.

Although the battle to defend the city was in full swing, they had to obey orders and wait patiently for the opportunity. For the martial knights, such silence was the most difficult.

Feng Huáng City groaned in pain in chaos and fire, and there were bloody battlefields everywhere: street fighting, melee, guerrilla warfare, hand-to-hand combat... The troops of both sides fought with their lives as a bet in the castle.

The soldiers guarding this city!Zhanlong stood in front of the knights, and his calm voice spread throughout every corner of the fortress under the power of magic, shocking the knights' fighting spirit and injecting a hint of calmness into the soldiers' panic and fearful hearts.

Zhan Long drew his sword and shouted: We have no way out. Behind us are the food for the soldiers of Jiangnan, the Great Song Dynasty, for the year!So as long as you are still alive and can stand up, please pick up your weapons and fight with me!Even if you die, the enemy in front of you will have to pay a heavier price!

The soldiers, who were covered in blood and exhausted, listened quietly, and then stood up strongly from the corpse again... Some were already desperate, and they were even trembling in fear, but at this time they stood up like a giant, rushing towards the enemy with all their last strength, smiling and falling down forever. Some were still crying just now, but at this time they wiped the tears, then roared and hugged the enemy and rolled down the city wall together...

Chu soldiers began to feel the amazing courage and belief radiated from the enemy in fear. The desperate warriors they faced were giving up their lives in exchange for the last little hope...

The battle reached a fever pitch in the desperate but full of survivors. The soldiers raised their weapons with the mood of death and waded through the blood-stained ground.

Death, fear, all of this has been completely abandoned from consciousness. The soldiers in front fell down in the fire of war, while the one behind followed without wavering. A soldier fell down, and immediately more comrades in his hands were able to fill his position.

Fight to the end!Every soldier's heart was filled with such a roar, because we want to survive!Because we are soldiers guarding our homes!

The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were fighting for their survival and responsibilities!Hold on!Brothers!We are here!

The knights of the reserve team shouted and rushed into the battlefield. These powerful new forces gave the devastating blow to the exhausted Chu soldiers who had been fighting for a long time, and also brought the same exhausted comrades to the belief and courage to fight.

The defenders near the gap struggled to resist the enemy, and the soldiers on the city wall also blocked the enemy's road to the city with a denser rain of arrows. At the same time, countless stones were thrown from the city walls on both sides of the gap, and the gap was shrinking little by little, and finally, it was blocked.

The situation suddenly reversed dramatically, and the Chu soldiers in the castle became a lonely army. Their morale was quickly exhausted, and their fighting spirit began to collapse. Many soldiers were no longer thinking about how to occupy the city as soon as possible but how to escape from Fenghuáng City. Finally, the balance in the hands of the goddess of victory began to tilt significantly.

The battle in Fenghuáng City has come to an end, but the Chu soldiers outside are still trying to break through again. Mr. Ma absolutely does not want to fail. Just now, he is only one step away from victory.

But the united defenders blocked them from outside Fenghuáng City with tenacious will and amazing courage again and again. After these desperate warriors broke free from the sickle of the god of death, they burst out with an invincible aura.

waste!Mr. Ma 3 smashed his hand heavily on the war horse's head. He couldn't help but yelled loudly, and continued to attack for me!Even if the entire army is killed, I will take Fenghuáng Youcheng for me!

He didn't care about the Chu soldiers who died in Fenghuáng City at all. This casualty was common to him who had experienced countless battles, but after so many days of hard attack, he finally opened the gap, but now he was closed again by the enemy so quickly. This is what he cannot tolerate now.

Now Mr. Ma San is under much greater pressure than the war dragon trapped in the castle, because Feng Huáng City is unexpectedly strong, he had to stop his original strategic plan. Now, as long as Feng Huáng City is not taken down for a day, Mr. Ma San will not be at ease, because he knew that if Feng Huáng City cannot be captured within three days and destroy the Song army’s granary, the Song army’s reinforcements will arrive soon.

He can be said to be racing against time and must conquer Fenghuáng City as soon as possible. Once the city has not been won before the Song Dynasty launched a large-scale counterattack, the result is likely to be a complete defeat.

But perhaps fate has abandoned him, and the Chu army in front of him has been unable to conquer it by using all kinds of methods, and...

In the early morning, Fenghuáng City.

It seems that these Chu troops are preparing for a battle... Seeing the Chu army's team recovering from a distance, Zhan Long said to himself that he mobilized his mount to mobilize the army and prepared to attack.

The heavy cavalry of the Second Corps is ready to charge!

The formation of the Song army changed rapidly. The infantry originally arranged in front scattered to both sides. The fourth lady personally led a team of heavy cavalry to form a formation between them.

The roaring war drum sounded the rapid drum beat, and the Song army sent out a signal of fighting. The archers pulled the bowstrings, the light infantry held the crossbow bows flat, and the commander gave the order. In an instant, the arrows flew like locusts, flying overwhelmingly towards the soldiers of the Chu State who were desperate.

The screams were accompanied by the sound of arrows piercing through the body. Chu soldiers' armor could not resist the arrows like locusts. Some were injured and some fell down. They cursed with a whimpering sound. They did not care about their pain and death, because they believed that their death would summon terrifying destruction to descend on the enemy's heads.

The Song army, who had lost its target, stopped the attack, and abnormal silence appeared on the battlefield. At this time, Mr. Ma's disappointment had completely turned into despair. This time, it seemed that he had suppressed the wrong treasure. What should I do next?

He thought nervously, and cold sweat filled his backbone.

The sound of iron hooves of heavy war horses broke the abnormal silence. The thousand people from the Second Corps of the Song Dynasty lined up in a row of parallel formations, moving slowly. This was a slow squeeze, squeezing the distance between the armies of both sides, and also squeezing the not very firm belief of the Chu soldiers.

Accompanied by the loud shouts of the cavalry, the fourth lady led the first row of heavy cavalry to start a fatal charge. Behind them, the surging team was still moving forward row after row. More and more cavalry rushed up, and the loud sound of horse hooves was like the shouts of the earth, move forward!

This is the battle of heavy cavalry, destroying all enemy arrays, this is the mission of heavy cavalry.

The golden swords and iron horses rushed over like a god of death, and the Chu soldiers' troops were in chaos again.

Feng Huáng's archers fired a rain of locusts like arrows again, and the dense feathered arrows even obscured the sky.

The rain of arrows caused huge damage to the Chu army, which had almost no armor in the middle, and countless people died on the ground amid the screams and the gust of blood.

Just as the Chu soldiers were panicked and tried to escape from the battlefield, the Chu soldiers on the flank also began a confrontation with the strong heavy infantry of the Song army.

The Chu soldiers rushed up roaring, but fell down one after another with screams. The heavy infantry of the Song army threw out their heavy javelins. These javelins had sharp blades and long blood grooves. Even people wearing armor would become corpses in front of its power.

But the Chu soldiers behind were very fast. They continued to advance along their companions' test questions, leaving no chance for the heavy infantry of the Song army to throw the second javelin.

The two sides had already entered a close-killing hand-to-hand combat, but this would not change the situation of one-sided battle at all. The heavy infantry led by Zhan Long raised their shields to protect their bodies tightly. The long sword and short spear in the other hand were constantly facing the deadliest parts of the enemy's body, throat, chest, assassination, slashing, rows of Chu soldiers fell down, but more rushed up. They rushed up desperately, trying to use their inferior weapons to open a gap in the Song army's infantry array, but in fact, all they could do was to use their flesh and blood to dull the enemy's blade in vain and despair.

The Chu soldiers in the middle ran away, but their steps soon stopped. They found in despair that their escape route had been blocked by the spear formation of Ma San Gongzi's personal soldiers. The spearhead with cold light clearly told them that if they dared to retreat, they would only die under the spear of their own people.

Chu Bing howled in despair and turned around and rushed back. They had no hope. Instead of dying as a coward who ran away at the hands of his allies, they would rather die in battle against the enemy. This is the last backbone of Chu Bing!

But the enemies that blocked them were not something their backbone could deal with.

Push the gun!go ahead!

The Song army officers made loud commands. The soldiers in the front row put the spear in their hands flat, while the soldiers in the back row put the spear on the shoulders of their comrades in front to charge towards the enemy. The sharp spear pierced the bodies of the Chu soldiers like a skewer of flesh. The soldiers were in despair and found that each of them was facing five or even more spears. They could neither stop the assassination of the spear nor could they push away the dense spear formation in front of them.

Advance, assassination, advance, assassination, the soldiers of the Song army advanced in an orderly manner with neat steps, leaving only the pierced corpses wherever they passed.

The front of the snatching formation composed of countless seven-meter spears was indeed like a powerful dragon, which was enough to block any human impact overestimating its abilities, and to devour the lives of no matter how many fragile humans... The Chu army began to defeat and fled in a hurry to the other side of the Tuojiang River.
