With the suppression of various heavy weapons, the Wind Blade Army also moved forward smoothly.
The drum beat at this time was still slow and rhythmic, and the two regiments were still advancing steadily.
After entering the shooting range of the opponent's archers, Ren Jun immediately ordered a charge, and the drumbeats immediately became rapid and intensive.
After the soldiers on the front line heard the sound of the drums, the general immediately gave the order to charge, and the heavy weapons such as trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows in the rear also stopped bombarding.
The soldiers received the order and immediately broke up into small groups. The shield bearers protected the soldiers pushing the ladder. The first people to the camp rushed forward under the cover of the shield bearers and archers.
Finally, there was a counterattack on the top of the city. Dense arrows were attacking downwards. The soldiers charged forward while resisting the arrows.
The soldier pushing the ladder rushed forward, pushed the ladder up with all his might, and hooked it tightly to the city wall. The first camp behind was no longer protected, and rushed towards the ladder with a big knife.
"Kill!"
The soldiers roared, quickly climbed up the ladder, and rushed upwards.
The enemies on top of the city were also well prepared. They immediately picked up big rocks and wood and smashed them down.
They don't even need to look down, they just need to look at the hook of the ladder between the battlements, and just hit it. It will definitely hit someone.
Even if it can't hit anyone, it can still damage the ladder so that people below can't get up.
The siege was the fiercest and most brutal battle. The soldiers of the Wind Blade Army were knocked down batch after batch, and the soldiers behind rushed up one after another to chew on the city wall.
Although An Jun's counterattack was fierce, only the people at the front could hit the enemy, and there couldn't be too many people concentrated here.
The ladders on the Feng Army's side were almost all concentrated in the middle. There was a ladder on almost every other battlement, and the Feng Army below rushed up in dense numbers.
On the general platform of the Chinese army in the distance, Zhou An watched his own soldiers fall one after another and rush forward one after another. The fight was very fierce and he was very anxious.
Finally, he saw a soldier climbing up the city, wielding a sword and fighting with the enemy. He shouted in surprise,
"Well done, good man, hold on to them and wait for the people behind to come up!"
Then, within a few seconds, the soldier was stabbed through the body by several spears. The body was thrown down and hit a soldier who was climbing a ladder.
"Oh, why are you dead? If I, Zhou An, go up, I can definitely buy time for the brothers behind."
Zhou An was impatient and said to Nie Chen,
"Lord, let me go up. I will open an area for the brothers so that they can go up faster."
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Don't be impatient. You, Zhou An, cannot take all the credit in the world. Let the Wind Blade Army go up this time. It is not only to train troops, but also to give them a credit.
Don't underestimate the Wind Blade Army. Although it was a bit unbearable when they fought with us before, that was because they didn't have a qualified commander.
In fact, they are all veterans. Many of them are veterans who have been in Zhennanguan for many years and have fought countless battles. Their strength is also strong, much better than many of our new recruits here.
Just wait and see, Ren Jun will be able to win this month's gate before dinner starts at noon. "
Ouyang Ming also said to Zhou An,
"Junior brother, please be patient. The enemies our brothers face are not that strong. The enemies seem to be many in number, but in fact we only have to face the area in the middle. Only one or two thousand people can squeeze in until they die. The combat effectiveness over there is also limited, let’s wait and see.”
As Ouyang Ming said, the enemy's side is indeed small in number, and they do not have the advantage. They are still on the side that is not easy to defend, and they cannot exert much power at all.
When Ren Jun saw that his own soldiers had almost suppressed the enemy, he immediately shouted,
"Where is Zhang Feng's martial arts star!"
"The general is here!"
"I order you two to take your first and second corps to personally lead the troops to press forward, break the enemy's defense line, attack on the city wall, open the city gate at once, and let the army enter the city! There must be no mistakes!"
"As you command!"
The two fierce generals Zhang Feng and Wuxing immediately got off the general platform, led their troops, and charged towards the city wall in a mighty manner.
The two strongest corps came on stage. After seeing this, the soldiers in front seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, and they attacked the enemies on top of the city even harder.
Zhang Feng and Wu Xing were unstoppable and fought all the way to the bottom of the city wall. They directly used the fierce generals as soldiers, climbed the ladder themselves, and rushed upward.
The armors worn by the generals are harder and fully covered. They are much harder than the leather armor of ordinary soldiers, so they are not afraid of attacks from flowing arrows. Zhang Geng and Wuxing are also fierce generals and charge very quickly before the enemy can react. Come over and rush to the city wall.
The two of them brandished their swords and slashed back and forth, guarding against counterattacks from the surrounding soldiers.
The generals were determined to die, and the soldiers were not greedy for life. The generals rushed forward, and the soldiers were greatly encouraged. They were still willing to fall behind. Taking advantage of the space that the generals had taken down, they immediately rushed forward to support their own generals.
The Wind Blade Army are all veterans. Under Ren Jun's training, they practiced climbing ladders a lot, so they climbed up very quickly.
When the An army general saw more and more enemy troops attacking the city wall, he immediately shouted for the soldiers to rush forward and push the enemies down.
But as more and more Feng troops came up, Zhang Feng and others had an increasing advantage.
On the narrow city wall, the enemy could not take advantage of the large number of people. Zhang Feng and Wuxing led the soldiers to advance left and right, compressing Anjun's territory step by step, killing the enemy.
Siege warfare has a chain effect.
The larger the territory occupied by the Feng Army, the more Feng Army could come up safely, and the more Feng Army came up, the larger the territory they occupied.
The advantage was gained bit by bit. Zhang Feng and Wuxing kept compressing the enemy, and An Jun had to retreat to the ends of both sides. There was no way, it was all mountains, so he could only follow the corridor. and run down the stairs.
If one ran away, there would be a second one. Soon, all the frightened Anjun ran towards the bottom of the city wall, rushing towards the opposite city wall in a swarm.
Zhang Feng and Wuxing led the soldiers down the city wall, to the city gate, and opened the city gate to let the army from outside enter the city.
Seeing the city gate open, the 40,000 wind blade troops outside immediately rushed in impatiently, chasing down the fleeing An troops.
An Jun panicked and had no choice but to run towards the city wall on the east side, shouting while running,
"Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"
Those guarding the east gate were also panicked, but without the general's order, how could they dare to open the gate and let the defeated troops escape.
