When General Pian heard this, he immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
Xue Wu glared at him again, then took a deep breath, turned around and began to read the military map on the wall carefully.
After a moment, he continued to stare at the map and asked without looking back: "Nie Xing, where are you now?"
"According to the intelligence report, it should be in the Qiaocheng area." A general in charge of military intelligence returned.
"Qiaocheng..." Xue Wu murmured, searching for a moment on the map with his finger, and then clicked on a place:
"I ordered General Zhao Fu to lead 50,000 troops and march northward with light equipment. He rushed all the way to get ahead of the Qin army and garrisoned at Quancheng to block Nie Xing's continued march."
"I have the order!" The general named Zhao Fu immediately clasped his fists.
Meanwhile, on to the party.
The war here has been going on for nearly five days. In the bloody battle, Xu Rong's troops suffered heavy casualties.
The Black Mountain Army originally numbered 30,000. After taking refuge with Xiao Yuan, it went through a series of small battles and faked surrender to Tang Yue. Now, when combined, it is about 20,000, which is exactly the strength of Xu Rong's troops.
At this time, he was wearing the armor of a Qin army general, holding a sword, and personally commanding the battle on the front line.
The entire siege looked very bloody and tragic.
At the city gate, countless soldiers gathered there, with random arrows falling from above. Some people held up heavy shields to form a small shield formation.
Someone worked together to push the huge siege vehicle and violently hit the heavy city gate again and again.
On the entire city wall, there are ladders one after another, and the soldiers on them are rushing forward one after another.
Stones, rolling trees, and trees are constantly falling, often accompanied by loud howls.
Shouts and roars filled the entire place.
The fierce fighting continued. On the one hand, they were desperately trying to attack the city, and on the other hand, they were desperately trying to defend it. Both sides refused to give in. This was a real tough battle.
Fortunately, the Black Mountain Army was not weak in combat power, but even so, a low-level general still hurried to Xu Rong's side and shouted with blood all over his body: "Brother! Brothers can't stand it anymore!"
"Call me general!" Xu Rong glared.
"Yes! Yes! General..."
This man was the former leader of the Black Mountain Army, but before he could finish his words, Xu Rong had already kicked him: "Fuck you! I must be the first to break through the Shangdang today! Whoever leads you, give me I will continue to kill you! If you dare to come here again, I will chop you with a knife!"
Xu Rong is definitely a rough man, and he is completely desperate for the first achievement. Now he only wants to move up and up.
The leader was knocked to the ground by his kick, and he hurriedly ran again, quickly responding: "Yes, yes..."
After he ran away, Xu Rong raised his sword again and shouted loudly:
"Kill! Kill for me"
"Whoever can be the first to attack the city will be rewarded with a hundred gold! I will express your merit in front of the king!"
It is said that under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. After hearing this, all the soldiers were immediately excited, and they rushed even more fiercely as if they had been given blood.
Such a fierce battle lasted from morning to afternoon, but Xu Rong still had no intention of stopping. He even ordered the trebuchet to continue filling the oil tank and carry out non-stop attacks on the entire city gate.
The trebuchets at that time were not very accurate. Some would hit the top of the city, and some would hit the middle of the city wall. When the oil tank exploded, it would hurt our own soldiers.
But Xu Rong didn't care, he just wanted to hit with the trebuchet!
One by one, the oil jars drew an arc in the air and hit various places in the city gate one after another.
Amidst the sound of earthen jars exploding, flames burst out, accompanied by miserable howls one after another.
How many Liang soldiers were sprayed by the explosion of the oil altar, covered with fire, and fell off the city wall with howling miserably.
Many Montenegrin troops who were climbing ladders were also affected, with fire oil splashing on their faces and bodies, and they fell down with howls...
Under this desperate and sharp offensive regardless of one's own casualties, the entire city defense and many places were hit by the oil altar, and no one could stand. Soon, the Liang army was unable to withstand it.
On the city wall, under the bombardment of Youtan, the Liang army was unable to defend the city. The Heishan army followed the ladder and finally jumped onto the top of the city first.
But immediately, he was hit by his own trebuchet!
An oil jar hit the wall next to him and exploded with a bang. The force of the explosion directly knocked the soldiers away. They were covered in fire and kept rolling and wailing on the ground.
However, someone attacked, and soon after, the city defenses began to be in emergency one after another.
When Xu Rong, who was under the city, saw this, his eyes widened immediately, he pointed his sword excitedly and shouted:
"The Shangdang is broken! The Shangdang is broken."
"Brothers, let's kill"
After such a bloody battle, the city gate was finally breached. It can be imagined that after Xu Rong's words, everyone went crazy!
In fact, at this time, there were not many 20,000 Montenegrin troops left, but they still captured this place after all!
At the same time, the trebuchet stopped.
The city defenses fell first, and the Liang army began to retreat while fighting. They were soon driven to the bottom of the city, and black flags were planted on top of the city.
Due to the chaos on the city, a large number of soldiers from Liang panicked inside the city gate. They could no longer defend the city wholeheartedly, and many people began to retreat in panic.
As a result, due to the lack of manpower and several violent impacts, the city gate burst open.
"Kill! Enter the city." Seeing this, Xu Rong raised his sword high and was the first to rush over crazily.
A group of Montenegrin troops swarmed behind them.
The city gates were opened wide, and the Liang army began to retreat steadily.
The Shangdang guard general was in a panic, holding on to his crooked helmet, and kept shouting in the city: "Hold it! Hold it all!"
But the city gate has been breached, how can it withstand it?
After Xu Rong rushed in, he immediately aimed his gaze at him. Without saying a word, he rushed over with his sword in hand.
In front of the guard general, there were many Liang soldiers holding long halberds, fighting and retreating. When they saw General Yi Qin rushing towards him, they naturally all pointed their spearheads at him, and instantly stabbed him with their halberds.
But Xu Rong was very skilled in martial arts and was not afraid at all. He swung his sword fiercely and caught several halberds, then bounced them away with all his strength, and then slashed diagonally. The two soldiers died tragically on the spot.
Afterwards, it was like entering an uninhabited land, slashing left and right, blood splattered.
The Liang troops were horrified and kept retreating.
When the guard saw this, he also looked frightened and immediately panicked: "Get out quickly! Get out quickly!"
"Where can the enemy general run!" Xu Rong shouted, his sword dripping with blood, and he rushed forward.
Seeing that he was unstoppable and approaching, the Shangdang guard general could only raise his sword and was forced to fight.
The sound of weapons clashing was heard, and with just one blow, the guard was knocked back several steps.
He was just a junior general in the Liang Army, and compared to Xu Rong's martial arts, he was not at the same level.
After only a few seconds, he was killed with a sword.
After killing the enemy general, Xu Rong cut off his head and held it in his hand. He couldn't help but look up and laughed:
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"
He was holding a bloody sword in one hand and a severed head in the other, smiling crazily.
When the defeated soldiers of Liang Army saw this, they all screamed in surprise. If they dared to stop, they would just drop their weapons, turn around and run away.
