Huyanbixian saw such a scene. Although he didn't know what happened, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He immediately handed over the west gate to a general, and then led hundreds of sergeants towards the south gate. At the same time, he sent a message to the reserve team in the city to rush to the south gate for reinforcements.

Those Dhaka nobles who had been suppressed by the Ming Dynasty rushed straight to the South City Gate with their minions and immediately launched a fierce attack. The leading noble raised his scimitar and shouted loudly: "Today is the day of liberation by killing the enemy. Follow me and attack the enemy until dawn!" The crowd rushed towards the south gate with assorted weapons. Several Ming Dynasties guarding the gate. Soldiers, line up immediately to fight! The leading officer saw the enemy coming and shouted loudly: "Throw the spear!" The officers and soldiers immediately threw the spears in their hands violently. Hundreds of spears flew away with a roar and fell into the middle of the crowd, making a loud pop-pop sound. Many enemies were shot down!

Although these random thugs were ferocious, they were just a mob after all. Being attacked by their opponents with spears, they immediately became panicked and confused, and their charging momentum suddenly weakened.

The officer of the Ming Dynasty waved his sword forward and shouted: "Kill!" Hundreds of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty roared forward with long swords and axes, and slammed into the middle of the enemy army. They waved their long swords and axes to kill fiercely. Only flesh and blood were seen flying everywhere. Seeing the ferocity of Yan Yun's army, the mob couldn't help but tremble with fear. Thousands of people actually began to retreat. Seeing this, the leading noble was frightened and angry, shouting at the top of his lungs.

The Ming army became more and more courageous as they fought, stepping forward in the blood of corpses. The mob kept retreating, falling into a pool of blood amidst the flying swords and blood. Everyone was extremely frightened, and how could they rush forward to kill! Seeing that something was wrong, the leading noble could not help but have the idea of ​​​​escape.

At this moment, a subordinate ran over and said in great panic: "No, it's not good! Daming, Daming's reinforcements are coming!" The noble was shocked. At this moment, the sound of war drums and rumbling footsteps reached his ears. He quickly looked behind him and saw Ming's banners and a forest of swords and guns coming from the street. He was so horrified that he no longer thought about liberation or dawn, nor did he care about the 'warriors' under his command. He quickly fled with a few of his close associates. But I'm afraid it's too late to escape at this time.

A moment later, hundreds of troops and more than 10,000 reserve troops led by Hu Yanbixian surrounded them from all directions, surrounding all these rioters.

Thousands of thugs and mobs were surrounded by the Ming Dynasty Legion on a street in the city. They had no way to escape. They were in extreme panic and didn't know what to do.

A nobleman threw away the scimitar in his hand, knelt on the ground and begged loudly for mercy. Seeing this, the others quickly threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. For a moment, thousands of people knelt on the ground, begging for mercy echoed over the city.

A general asked Hu Yanbixian for instructions: "General, do you want to take them all into custody?"

Hu Yanbixian said coldly: "How can we have the energy to take care of these prisoners at this time! Execute them on the spot!" The general responded and immediately issued the order loudly. After receiving the order, the armies immediately took action, approaching the thugs and mobs with swords and guns. The mobs and mobs saw that they were bound to advance with swords and guns, and they subconsciously felt that something was wrong, with expressions of extreme fear on their faces.

Assassinations with spears and hackings with long knives left blood and flesh flying everywhere on the scene, and mobs and mobs fell into pools of blood one by one. The mob was in complete chaos, running in all directions, screaming and shouting. However, under the tight siege of the Ming army, there was no way to escape. The mountains of swords and spears kept advancing. Amidst the shrill screams, thugs and people continued to fall in a pool of blood. The area they were in was shrinking rapidly. The ruthless Ming army Killing without mercy, without mercy. Soon after, the screams and screams disappeared. Thousands of corpses filled this section of the streets, and blood filled the ditches, making a gurgling sound.

A scout galloped to Huyanbixian, reined in his horse, and reported: "General, the enemy troops outside the city are attacking more fiercely!"

Huyan Bixian immediately ordered the troops guarding the city gate to return to their posts and the reserve army to stand by, while he himself rushed to the south gate. Looking outside the city, I saw an endless wave of enemy troops coming in, getting more and more powerful. The enemies were obviously crazy and trying to break through the city in one fell swoop. Hu Yanbixian frowned. He was worried that if the enemy troops from behind continued to attack like this, there would be problems with the city defense sooner or later.

After thinking for a while, he decided to catch the enemy by surprise.

The coalition forces led by Andrew were attacking fiercely from the west. He kept urging the soldiers to attack. He wanted to be the first to break into the city. Because everyone knows that the first one to break into the city can rob the most wealth regardless of whether others are willing or not. People share this sentiment, and the military commanders of various countries along his route are constantly urging their troops to attack desperately. To this end, they have not hesitated to make countless tempting promises, titles, wealth, and women, all of which make these blond The blue-eyed so-called warrior of God is crazy! It goes without saying that the Ming Army is powerful, but at this moment, it also feels heavy pressure! If the Allied Forces of Heaven continue their fierce attack, the defenders of Dhaka are limited and may not be able to sustain it for long!

Suddenly, the west city gate suddenly opened.

Andrew was stunned for a moment and thought that the opportunity had come, and immediately ordered all the troops to rush into the city. At this moment, I saw a crowd surging at the city gate, and a large army rushed out of the city gate! Andrew and others were shocked, and then they shouted and ordered the army to encircle and suppress the Ming army that dared to go out of the city to counterattack.

Hu Yanbixian led 15,000 warriors out of the city and immediately launched a counterattack against the enemy troops who were storming the city wall. The war drums on the top of the city rumbled loudly, and the underground Ming army bravely charged to kill with loud shouts!

The enemy troops who were attacking the city were rushed to pieces by the fierce Ming army before they had time to react, and they all turned around and ran away.

Andrew raised his war hammer and shouted loudly: "Everyone follow me and destroy the enemy!" Then he rushed towards the Ming army first. Inspired by him, other soldiers were inspired by him and rushed forward with roars, forming a huge crowd. At this time, looking down from the sky, I saw two huge waves, one large and one small, surging towards each other.

A moment later, the two waves collided heavily. In an instant, the astonishing collision sounds merged into each other. Long knives and axes flew up and down. The sound of slashing and roaring went straight into the sky, and there were also screams mixed with it. . The soldiers of the Heavenly Alliance Army howled like wild beasts, wildly waving their swords and hammers, and the Ming Army sacrificed their lives and charged forward indomitably! With the light of the sword and the light of blood, the corpses of both sides continued to fall into a pool of blood!

A majestic Norwegian warrior wielded a battle ax and chopped down a Ming soldier who rushed up. Then another Ming soldier rushed up from one side, roared and slashed, and cut open his chest with a knife, and blood surged. The Norwegian warrior screamed and fell backward. A group of Ming warriors wielded long knives and axes to cut a bloody path. However, a group of coalition crossbowmen not far away concentrated fire on them. The group of Ming warriors immediately fell into a pool of blood. The Ming army swept over and corpses were everywhere. The coalition forces rushed over and blood flew. The two sides fought inextricably and fiercely. The officers and soldiers of all armies were already crazy!

After Andrew killed another Ming officer, he saw the enemy riding a war horse not far away who was obviously different from other Ming soldiers. He realized that he was the enemy's general. He immediately became excited, raised his warhammer and rushed forward with a roar. . Huyanbixian also saw Andrew, and immediately rushed towards Andrew on horseback. In the blink of an eye, the two horses crossed each other. Andrew's war hammer hit Huyanbixian's head, while Huyanbixian's long knife slashed towards the opponent's chest. At the critical moment, the two struggled to get out of the way, and their weapons missed each other by just a hair.

Andrew was still frightened, but Huyanbixian looked excited. Huyan Bixian turned to his horse and charged towards the opponent again. Seeing this, Andrew frowned, roared and also rushed forward. The two sides went back and forth like this for more than a dozen rounds, and Andrew couldn't help but feel timid. Hu Yanbixian saw the opportunity and struck straight into the palace with his sword, slashing directly towards Andrew's head! Andrew was shocked. At this moment, he just wanted to escape for his life, but he didn't care about his face. He quickly fell over backwards! With a click, Hu Yanbixian's long knife cut off the horse's head. The horse fell to the side without even screaming, and Andrew fell off the horse. Before he had time to get up, he saw his opponent rushing over, and a cold light suddenly appeared! Andrew was shocked, and it was too late to dodge. There was a click, and the opponent's sword looked heavily at his shoulder. Andrew screamed and fell to the ground! However, he was wearing heavy armor, and although Huyan Bixian's sword hurt him, it failed to kill him!

Andrew was so frightened that he rolled and crawled towards the crowd of his own people. Huyan Bixian wanted to pursue him again, but he was blocked by the opponent's heavy troops and could not do it.

At the same time, all armies of the Ming Dynasty fought bravely and fought bloody battles! Although the Heavenly Alliance Army was also very brave, they finally lost to their opponent in terms of momentum and felt that they could no longer resist. As the first unit retreated, the army collapsed completely and fled towards the back. The Ming army covered them up and killed countless enemies.

The coalition forces from the other three directions were shocked when they found out that the army to the west was defeated, and their attack momentum was suddenly severely reduced. The commanders of each army were worried that the Ming army would raid their flanks, so they ordered a halt to the attack. The armies from all directions stopped attacking the city and hurriedly retreated into their respective camps. The attacking Ming army returned to the city from the west gate. The battle came to an end. Although the Ming army won, it also paid a heavy price. The 15,000 soldiers who attacked were killed and wounded nearly 5,000 people. These heavenly coalition forces are by no means comparable to the Nanman wastes like the Tianzhu Yue Li Dynasty!

Huyan Bixian ordered all the troops to be more vigilant, and then returned to the headquarters to sleep with Jia. In order to defend Dhaka, he not only spent a lot of money mentally, but also spent a lot of energy just going out of the city to fight back. He was very tired at the moment and had to sleep to recharge his batteries.

Philip convened a meeting of the kings and generals of the coalition. At the meeting, everyone rushed to blame Andrew and several other armies who were defeated by the Ming army when they left the city. They all said that it was because of their shameful defeat that today's siege failed. Marcono was even more sarcastic. Andrew was so angry that he said angrily: "It's easy for you to say! We have tried our best! The Ming army is very brave and fierce, and it is definitely not what we thought before! If it were you, the result would definitely not be better than ours!" Everyone laughed, mocked and insulted him. Andrew couldn't get angry, and his bullish temper suddenly came up. He swung his war hammer and shouted loudly: "If anyone thinks that I, Andrew, am a coward, I will challenge him! Let's see who is the coward!"

The insults and taunts gradually died down. Although everyone ridiculed and insulted Andrew, Andrew's reputation was no joke. He was known as the Nordic monster. He once killed a giant bear and participated in two Crusades. Not even a hundred but eight Arab warriors died under his war hammer. Ten, it can be said that he is a brave general with a great reputation in the Western world! Everyone was mocking him just now, but they were actually very shocked that 15,000 Ming troops came out of the city to counterattack and defeated Andrew's troops.

Philip said: "His Majesty Andrew's defeat along the way has reminded us that the enemy is not as cowardly as we thought, they still have some fighting ability!"

Andrew snorted, dissatisfied with Philip's mere statement that the Ming army still had some combat effectiveness. He felt that Phillip clearly meant to belittle himself. Those armies of the Ming Dynasty are clearly fierce and brave, and they are all formidable warriors. They have stronger combat effectiveness than any army in the coalition. Why are they only said to have some combat effectiveness? More than just some fighting power!

Philip continued: "However, although they have some fighting power, their approaching troops and horses are limited. Today we almost broke through their defense. As long as we continue to attack fiercely, I believe it will not take long to enter the city." Some people shouted in agreement, and others Some people lowered their heads in deep thought and did not speak.

Philip glanced at everyone and said, "If you don't have any objections, we will continue to attack the city according to the original plan tomorrow!" Everyone nodded.

In the next two days, the Allied Forces of Heaven continued to attack the city. Temporarily, the fire was in full swing, and in the sky was a rain of cannonballs and arrows flying all over the sky. On the ground, there were coalition forces attacking the city like ants, with swords and swords, flesh and blood flying everywhere. For two consecutive days, the allied forces of the Kingdom of Heaven continued to attack. The Ming army had never encountered such a strong opponent since the end of the war with the Khitan Kingdom in Xiliao. The bloody battle on the city wall and the heavy pressure were like facing a huge wave. However, the Allied Forces of Heaven have never been able to make any progress.

That night, the commanders of the Kingdom of Heaven coalition gathered again in Philip's tent for a meeting. Many people looked downcast. Duke Odin of Denmark said with a dismayed face: "The enemy's defense strength has exceeded previous expectations. We lack heavy siege equipment. It will be too difficult to break through the city!" Andrew couldn't help but said: "I would have said earlier. I said that the Ming army is very strong, but you just don’t believe it!”

English General John said: "The difficulty of the war far exceeds our previous expectations. If we continue to fight, we don't know whether we can win. Even if we can win, we don't know how many lives will be sacrificed!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think of retreating. Although these heavenly coalition forces came in response to the Pope's call, they were actually just coveting the legendary Eastern kingdom where gold was everywhere and silk was everywhere, hoping to gain huge profits. When they first heard the call of the Heavenly Pope, everyone thought that this battle was very simple. According to legend, the Easterners who only talk about "benevolence and righteousness" must be very cowardly and vulnerable. Once the army arrives, they will definitely be able to take whatever they ask for and make a lot of money. Full.

However, the development of things was completely different from previous expectations. After their own army arrived, the Easterners had no intention of negotiating. The envoys who originally thought they would come to sue for peace have not even been seen yet. The strength of the enemy army was far beyond previous expectations. Not only were they not cowardly, they were also very powerful in combat and had a will as strong as steel! Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked the city guarded by only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers for many days. Not only did they not make any progress, but they paid a heavy price. If we continue to fight, I really don’t know what the outcome will be. Even if we can win in the end, I’m afraid there won’t be many people left who can go back.

Marcono said: "I think we have done our best for God! We have given the enemy enough blows, and we should withdraw our troops!" As soon as this was said, many people agreed. Andrew wanted to mock him a few words, but then he thought about it and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Phillip couldn't help but frowned and said, "If we go back like this, aren't we going to be laughed at by others!"

Odin said disapprovingly: "We are not fleeing after defeat. We are already standing on the land of the heretical enemies and have dealt them a heavy blow. How can we be laughed at if we withdraw at this time." Many people agreed.

Philip said: "We can capture this city, we shouldn't retreat now!"

Everyone looked at him and remained silent, but the expressions on their faces spoke for themselves.

Philip said: "After these few days of attacks, I discovered a weakness in the opponent's wall." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but become interested.

Philip continued: "Under their east wall, there is a small section of inconspicuous place that should have been hollowed out by the erosion of the moat. The foundation of that small section of wall is obviously loose. If we take the gunpowder we brought If they are concentrated there and detonated, the city wall will collapse instantly!" Everyone's eyes lit up. Andrew said: "If we can blow down the city wall, it will only take half a day for us to destroy the enemy and occupy the city!" Everyone agreed and became energetic, and the depressed atmosphere just now was gone.

Philip continued: "I think we will continue to attack from all sides tomorrow to attract the enemy's attention, while our Eastern Route Army will detonate gunpowder and collapse the city wall at this time! Once the city wall collapsed, our army will attack the city in one fell swoop. The enemy will be in chaos when they come, and the other three directions will be able to attack the city!"

"No, no, no!" Marcono was the first to jump out and object. Phillip frowned and asked, "Is there anything wrong with my plan?"

Marcono raised his eyebrows and said: "What a big problem! We held the enemy in three directions for you, but you took the opportunity to collapse the city wall and invade the city. At that time, most of the wealth and women in the city became your trophies. , How can such a good thing happen!" Others echoed one after another, saying that Philip was too cunning and was taking advantage of them.

When Philip saw that his plan had been discovered by them, he was embarrassed and annoyed, and angrily said: "I am in charge of the east, and the enemy's weakness appears in the east, so what can I do! This is God's will !”

Marcono sneered and said: "Tianzhu doesn't mean that! I think it's okay to besiege on all sides, but each party must have about the same number of troops waiting outside the east city. In this way, if the city is broken, it will be fair for everyone to rush into the city together. Come on!" Everyone agreed.

Seeing this, Phillip knew that it would be impossible if he didn't agree, so it was best to nod in agreement. Marcono immediately said: "Since everyone agrees, let's discuss the number of troops placed by each party in the east." Then everyone started bargaining and quarreling. In the end, all parties reached an agreement that neither party was too satisfied with but that all parties could barely accept. Each party sent half of its troops to the east. In this way, the coalition troops gathered in the east were the total. Half of the strength of the army was over 100,000.

Early the next morning, amid the sound of huge war drums and horns, the coalition forces continued to attack from all sides. Yang Zhi saw that the enemy had gathered almost half of its troops to the east. He expected that the enemy must be making big moves in the east, so he transferred all the reserves to the east city to prepare for the attack.

The fierce siege battle lasted from morning to noon. Yang Zhi found that the enemy's attacks on the west, south and north sides seemed to be absent-minded, and there was no momentum like the previous days. Yang Zhi expected that the west, south and north sides must all be feints, so he became more vigilant towards the east and ordered the cannons on the three forts to change directions.

In the afternoon, the enemy's attacks showed no sign of stopping. Yang Zhi became more vigilant, feeling that the enemy's killer was coming.

At this moment, Huyan Bixian suddenly noticed something. I don’t know when, there were many gunpowder sticks piled up in a place under the city wall! Hu Yanbixian suddenly realized something and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. I saw several enemies holding torches rushing out of the surging troops outside the city, rushing towards the city wall. Hu Yanbixian opened his eyes, pointed at the enemies who were rushing over with torches, and shouted: "Quickly shoot those with torches!"

More than a hundred officers and soldiers who were shooting arrows around them immediately adjusted their direction and aimed at the enemies holding torches. Then the bowstrings vibrated and more than a hundred sharp arrows whizzed away. Seeing those enemies fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. However, before Huyan could breathe a sigh of relief, other soldiers picked up their torches and continued to charge. Hu Yanbixian shouted: "Keep shooting arrows!" The arrows continued to fly, and the enemies stumbled and fell to the ground. Although one of them was injured, he did not fall to the ground. He rushed to the bottom of the city wall and threw the torch into the gunpowder barrel. middle. Hu Yanbixian opened his eyes and shouted in his heart: "Not good!"

Boom! There was a sudden loud noise, the earth shook and rocks and corpses flew all over the sky! Huyan Bixian only felt a huge force coming from him, and he fell heavily to the ground. He was so dizzy that he couldn't figure out where he was for a moment!

What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
