The moment Yun Chui Ren set foot on the city wall, the eunuch immediately spread the news to the palace.
"The city is broken?" King Nanfeng was shocked and fell down on the throne.
"Back to the king, the city has not been broken. Only a small number of Yunchui people have attacked the city."
King Nan Feng looked at the eunuch who was delivering the order expressionlessly.
What's the difference?
"Your Majesty," Pei Ruhai comforted him.
"On the first day of siege, the enemy's morale is often the highest. Although Yun Chui is unreasonable and unreasonable, the siege equipment is indeed more advanced than mine. In addition, the major border guards have strict discipline. It is not surprising that they can attack the city."
He changed his words.
"But the battle is fought by the will of both the enemy and ourselves. No matter how good the weapons are, they will not have much effect among soldiers who have no faith."
"Our soldiers are protecting our home and country. Behind everyone are the parents of our home and country. We have no way to retreat, and we will fight bravely to kill the enemy."
"The Yunchui people came all the way to invade our Nanfeng just to satisfy the selfish interests of Wei Junqian and Yuan Xingwen. The soldiers must be dissatisfied."
"They have no choice but to attack my capital because of their swords. But sooner or later, they will lose their strength. As long as my soldiers who defend the city hold on for a few more minutes, the enemy who has been unable to attack for a long time will have no choice but to retreat..."
King Nan Feng seemed to have not heard of it.
He had heard similar words so many times these days that calluses almost grew on his ears. He is not stupid to be the leader of a country. He knows that these are just words of comfort.
Just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
"Has any news come back from the envoys who went north?" he asked.
We need numbers but no numbers, we need weapons but no weapons, we need morale but no morale, the city probably cannot be defended.
Now the only person who can break the siege of Song Ding City is Emperor Changxing who is far away in Xingji City.
For a moment, the entire hall was silent.
After a long while, a voice answered in a squeaky voice: "Back to the king, Mr. Li has just set out for half a month. It is a long way to Yunchui Imperial Capital, and I think we have only walked halfway."
King Nanfeng knew this very well, and for a moment his head dropped lower.
The distance is one thing, and it also depends on whether the sea route has been blocked by Xiyu and Canglan County.
If, like before, the envoys encountered "pirates" soon after setting sail, they would probably never reach Star City.
Report!
The guards' voices suddenly sounded outside the palace, their tone full of panic and disbelief.
The hearts of everyone in the hall jumped together.
King Nan Feng stood up subconsciously and stared at the door of the hall with stern eyes.
A soldier with a bloody face rushed in, "Your Majesty, General Cai died in battle! There is chaos at the north city head."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Pei Ruhai swallowed and asked happily: "Which General Cai?"
"General Cai Juncai, commander of the Imperial Army!"
thump!
King Nanfeng felt dizzy and fell back on the throne.
The imperial army guards the palace city, and the emperor's wealth and life are in the hands of their commanders. This shows Cai Jun's status in the heart of King Nan Feng.
In the previous traitor incident, more than a dozen generals of various sizes who were guarding the city were still in jail and unable to get out. Only Cai Jun has never been touched, which shows the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.
It can be said that Cai Jun is King Nan Feng's last trump card and barrier.
However, it was only the first day of Yun Chui's siege. To be exact, less than three hours later, Cai Jun's trump card had been wiped out.
what to do?
Everyone's heads, including King Nan Feng's, were pounding, and they couldn't help but look to the south.
Only Pei Ruhai's expression remained unchanged and he comforted everyone for a while before calmly asking: "What happened? How did General Cai die suddenly in battle?"
"That's it." The soldier who delivered the order could only speak in detail.
Beichengtou.
When Yun Chui's soldiers rushed to the top of the city like a tide, chaos began to surround them.
Fortunately, Xiong Kaishan stood up.
He danced the huge mace like a tiger, blocking the path of Yunzhui's soldiers.
But it just blocks the way.
Under the leadership of Xiong Kaishan, Nan Feng was occasionally able to advance a few feet, but was soon pushed back by the Yun Chui people.
Boom, clang, clang!
Weapons of all sizes collided, making harsh and unpleasant sounds. Both sides were red-eyed, screaming and moving forward to fight.
In just a short section of the city, the battle went back and forth more than a dozen times. Every time they moved forward or backward, blood and corpses were shed on the ground.
Xiong Kaishan fought more and more urgently.
At the beginning, Yun Chui's soldiers were indeed beaten back step by step by him, but soon the other party came to their senses and began to seek cooperation among their companions. In addition, the weapons were superior, so the two sides were evenly matched.
General Yun Chui, who had just climbed to the top of the city soon, also joined the fight, making the fight easier.
If it weren't for Xiong Kaishan's amazing power, it would be a question whether Nanfeng could hold on and not retreat.
But people will still be people.
After fighting for half an hour, Xiong Kaishan began to feel that his hands were weak, and the mace in his hand became heavier and heavier, and he could hardly lift it.
And Yun Chuiren also saw this, and now the offensive became even fiercer.
Bang bang bang.
Several spears were stabbed at Xiong Kaishan.
If he hadn't been wearing thick armor all over his body, he would have been stabbed into a pile of rotten flesh. Finally, Cai Jun gave an order and he was dragged back by Nanfeng soldiers.
Ren Ning was caught in the middle and was inconspicuous at all. On the surface, his face was covered in blood and exhausted, but in reality he was unscathed.
At this time, a large number of Yunchui soldiers swarmed up the city. Many of them rappelled directly into the inner city and started killing people and setting fires everywhere.
Nanfeng was already short of generals leading the army, and this situation would be even more stretched. Even Cai Jun's personal guards were sent out to lead troops to surround them.
In the end, he had no choice but to step forward and take charge personally.
At this time, Yunchui's offensive was slightly weakened, and the tired teams at the top of the city began to rotate.
Ren Ning followed suit and moved backwards, and it didn't take long for him to move back to a suitable position.
Cai Jun was observing the situation above and below the city, preparing to make some timely adjustments.
Suddenly a cold light flashed before his eyes.
Before he could realize what was happening, he was hit by an arrow in the neck. Then he fell to the ground with a plop.
succeed!
Ren Ning chuckled, turned around and ran away.
With his skills, it is not difficult to kill the target, but what is difficult is to escape from the heavy siege.
Fortunately, the rolling logs had been moved all night last night, so Ren Ning could clearly see the surrounding situation. He knows where to step, where to jump, and where to hide.
In addition, the huge arrow tower was smashed, and most of the ruins have not been cleared yet. Even without ropes, he can safely land on a city wall more than three feet high at any time.
"There is an assassin!" Cai Jun's few personal guards screamed in hindsight.
With red eyes, they picked up their weapons and chased after him with gritted teeth, "Hurry and catch him!"
However, there were too many people on the walled city. By the time the guards arrived, Ren Ning had already jumped off the wall like a civet cat, and then quickly rushed to the place he wanted.
Before anyone could react, he rushed into the alley and disappeared into various houses.
"Search for me!" Cai Jun's personal guard went crazy. "Even if all the houses here are demolished, we must find this assassin and avenge the general's blood."
However, the Yun Chui soldiers behind them had already lined up and rushed towards them.
City head!
"General Cai was killed by an assassin!"
The news came like a storm, and no one believed it at first. Soon all the Nanfeng generals and soldiers were panicked and hesitated.
However, the battle was fierce at this time, and swords and guns were short-sighted. If you don't pay attention, you will die. There is no time for them to pay half-hearted attention.
At that moment, the guards at the top of the city were killed and retreated steadily.
"That's right! The city is about to be destroyed." Yuan Xingwen stood high on an arrow cart and silently put down his telescope.
