When news of the Beimang Army's war spread to other counties, three days had passed.
At this moment, the people of Nanfeng Prefecture are like frightened birds. As long as they hear the news of the Beimang army, they will subconsciously hide in their homes.
What makes these people even more unexpected is that within one day, three counties in Nanfeng Prefecture fell. The soldiers in two of the counties were not spared and were all killed...
Nan Feng City
Li Changfeng punched the desk hard. He never expected that those three counties would be gone so quickly...
"Ah... Ugeda, how dare you cheat on me!" Li Changfeng roared angrily.
He originally thought that he could unite with the surrounding counties and hold on for more than a month, but... in one day, in just one day, three counties were gone!
"General, please calm down, we are not completely defeated yet. After all, Bao Yinglong fled to Mengcheng, and Mengcheng is guarded by Ma Guanxing!" Chi Yuan said with cupped fists.
"What do you know? Ma Guanxing and we are not from the same group." Li Changfeng patted the table angrily: "If he holds Mengcheng for a longer time, we will be laughed at by some people."
The three generals said nothing. In fact, they also knew this truth, but at least they were not all defeated...
Just before Li Changfeng's anger subsided, a messenger rushed in.
"Report..." The messenger clasped his fists: "General, the Beimang army has marched on the three gates of Nanfeng City in three directions. It is now ten miles away from Nanfeng City!"
"Three armies?" Li Changfeng was stunned. He suddenly understood what Ugeda was going to do, and immediately asked: "How many troops are there in total?"
"Reporting to the general, there are about 20,000 people on the north road, more than 30,000 on the west road, and the least on the east road, more than 10,000!" said the messenger.
"As expected!" Li Changfeng showed a smile, looked at the three generals and said: "Chiyuan, I will give you five thousand soldiers to guard the north gate. Remember, you will defend it no matter what!"
"Yes!" Chiyuan immediately accepted the order.
"Xiao Wei, just give you three thousand soldiers to guard the west gate for half an hour."
"Yes!" Xiao Wei stood up and clasped his fists.
"Yang Shan, if you go with me, we will attack the east gate directly. We will let Uqaida know that this general is not someone he can control!"
"Yes, the general will take your orders!" Yang Shan answered with his fists clasped.
As the drums on the walls of Nanfeng City were beating, the people who had just left the door returned home and hid again.
The silent sound of the horn sounded, and all the gatekeepers immediately began to carry war supplies, but only the east gate opened the city gate.
Li Changfeng quickly left the city with 20,000 soldiers and attacked the Beimang army in the east...
Beimang Army Camp
After hearing the scout's report about the presence of soldiers and horses at the east gate of Nanfeng City, Ugeda suddenly stood up, ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses, and headed towards Nanfeng Prefecture.
"General, has Li Changfeng seen what you are going to do?" asked a middle-aged general.
"Don't underestimate any enemy, they also have brains." Ugeda mounted his horse and waved his spear: "Let's go!"
As the 20,000 soldiers and horses quickly left the camp, the middle-aged general finally understood the meaning of the general's words...
…
At noon, the soldiers on the city wall stared nervously into the distance. Suddenly, a roar broke the silence, and in the flying dust, a huge army slowly approached. In the army, one catapult is particularly eye-catching. It towers into the clouds, like a giant from the sky.
With an order, the catapult started instantly. Huge rocks fell from the sky, cutting through the air with a terrifying whistling sound. The defenders on the wall scrambled for cover, but it was too late. The stone hit the city wall heavily, causing smoke and dust to fly everywhere. Under the violent impact of huge rocks, cracks appeared in the city wall.
"Hide and hold tight!" Chiyuan shouted loudly from behind the bunker.
Although Chiyuan led five thousand soldiers, these soldiers were all government soldiers and had never fought any defensive battles, so Chiyuan specially selected more than a hundred experienced city gate captains as temporary commanders.
The violent impact of the boulders was very terrifying, and even the boulders flew over the city wall and landed on the homes of farmers on the edge of the city...
The people in the city were terrified, their houses collapsed under the bombardment of huge rocks, and they heard cries and screams one after another. The whole city was enveloped in panic.
As the bombardment of boulders gradually decreased, Chi Yuan also stuck out his head.
Seeing that Beimang's army had begun to gather a charging array, he immediately shouted: "Bow!"
With this shout, hundreds of city gate captains immediately shouted at the same time.
The archers quickly stood at the top of the city, their bows and arrows shining brightly on the top of the city.
At the same time, the Beimang army began to charge. They walked through the smoke and moved forward bravely.
"Arrow!" Chiyuan shouted again.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the attackers immediately drew their strong bows.
"put!"
As Chi Yuan finished speaking, thousands of arrows flew out from the top of the city in an instant.
Siege battles are always the most brutal, because they are a desperate offensive and defensive battle...
The Beimang army charged desperately, holding shields to resist the rain of arrows. When they reached the top of the city, countless ladders were set up on the city wall.
"Rolling stone!" Chi Yuan quickly commanded.
All the soldiers ignored the ladder in front of them, and all of them lifted the boulder.
"Smash!"
With a shout, the huge stones in the hands of these soldiers fell along the ladder...
In an instant, Beimang's dead soldiers fell down the ladder one after another. As the first batch of dead soldiers fell, the second and third batch of dead soldiers boarded the ladder again.
Rolling stones continued to fall, and the body of a dead soldier was quickly carried away.
Seeing that the time had come, Chi Yuan shouted loudly: "Climb the ladder!"
Although many soldiers did not flip the ladder, many soldiers still inserted the ladder out.
(Let me explain here: Ancient soldiers did not climb ladders with hands. They all had tools. According to many data searches, soldiers in the Han Dynasty used their heads to hold the head of the ladder and push the ladder away. During the Tang Dynasty, the city gate captains all had professional tools. Remember, don’t believe the hand pushing in movies and TV shows, because that kind of rhythm is really looking for death.)
As the ladder was inserted far away and climbed up, the Beimang army's attack gradually stopped.
Seeing such a great opportunity, Chiyuan shouted again: "Fire oil! Rolling wood!"
When General Beimang saw rolling logs and kerosene appearing on the city wall, he immediately ordered a retreat. After all, if this continued, all these dead soldiers would be dead before they even climbed onto the city wall.
As the horn sounded, the dead soldiers immediately stopped attacking the city, but just like that, many dead soldiers were ignited by the fire and smashed to death by giant trees!
Seeing the fierce fire ignite the bottom of the city wall, General Beimang immediately ordered the catapult to prepare...
Seeing the boulder being thrown, Chi Yuan shouted again: "Hide and hold tight!"
…
East of Minami Toyosu
The fighting became more intense. Countless soldiers in the military formation fell into pools of blood, and the earth was dyed red with blood.
"Kill, kill them all!" Li Changfeng raised his knife and shouted, but wherever he passed, no Beimang soldier survived.
General Beimang did not expect that Li Changfeng would personally lead his troops to fight against them.
"The central army retreats, and the rear army fires arrows!" General Beimang ordered.
"Strengthen the shield defense!" Yang Shan immediately commanded.
As the military formations of the two armies changed, General Beimang seized this opportunity and immediately ordered a retreat. After all, if they continued to fight like this, they would only die.
The trumpet sounded, and the remaining front and rear troops immediately retreated.
Seeing the Beimang army retreating, Li Changfeng had no intention of pursuing him. He raised his sword and shouted: "Ximen!"
The army has not stopped. Even if they are tired at this moment, they must rush to Ximen's aid at this moment...
…
By the time Li Changfeng and the others arrived at the west gate, the fighting had also entered a fever pitch. At this time, the Beimang army was sending a second wave of dead soldiers to rush towards the city wall.
"Kill!" Li Changfeng raised his knife and roared.
The sudden arrival of Dayan's army caused Beimang's army to stop attacking the city. They immediately turned their guns and faced Li Changfeng's army.
Although there are many soldiers in Ximen Beimang, they are all siege equipment, and there are only less than 10,000 soldiers who can fight on the plains.
"Cover and retreat!" General Beimang ordered helplessly.
As five thousand soldiers rushed towards Dayan's army, Beimang's siege equipment also began to retreat.
"Form up and kill!" Yang Shan quickly ordered to form a military formation.
For these five thousand soldiers, this is to die in order to buy time for the army to evacuate.
