The elite soldiers of the dragon army who were thrown from the sky above the city gate tower slid down from the hot air balloon and undid the buckles on their waists, and then landed on the city walls or on the inside of the city walls. They threw out flying knives and short dagger, and before the panicked guard could face each other, he was shot and killed quite a number of times.
Lv Ze and Xiao Chuan also landed at the ground floor, fiercely attacking the soldiers on top of the city gate tower.
Pu Jie took out the sword at his waist, and shouted: "Guard here, no one is allowed to push it back, whoever disobeys the order will be beheaded!"
Hearing the order from the general, the Chu Bing almost panicked. She stopped her retreat and held her weapon against the black clad enemies that fell from the sky.
Ge Li and Yu Feng's group of soldiers had burned down the Chu Army's war horses camp. Over ten thousand horses were startled, they scattered all over the fortress and broke through all the gates of Chu Army, after that, they too dropped down from the sky, hid inside, and quietly slaughtered their way to the inner parts of the gate.
Immediately after, there were enemy troops descending from the sky, and their numbers dwindled. However, when they attacked, a few guard s fell, and their killing intent surged, although the Chu Army's elite soldiers were brave and good at fighting, but they were immediately shocked by what they saw, never having seen such a scene before. Fear filled their hearts, and their fighting spirit was extinguished, so they naturally lost their fighting strength.
Ge Li, Yu Feng and their men led their men to kill the city gate, Lv Ze, Xiao Chuan led their men to kill the Chu Bing at the top of the city gate. Although there were not many deaths, but the moment they appeared, they completely stunned the place, and in the next moment, the Dragon Cavalry outside the city gained the precious time to attack the city.
Yu Ziqi and Yuan Ying commanded the ten thousand elites to charge towards the high wall. In the darkness of the night, without the stubbornness of the defending army, a high wall was like flat ground to the Dragon Army elite, shooting spears or flying claws outside the city, relying on the ease and convenience of his tools. As though they were training normally, ten movements were completed in one go and he stepped onto the top of the crenellated city wall.
"Kill …"
Waves after waves of dragon soldiers charged towards Chu Bing who was fighting back like a tide and tried to push back the enemy with overwhelming force. When the hidden archers in rows saw that the situation was bad, they immediately released arrows at the Dragon Army at the head of the city while the Dragon Army elite used the powerful crossbows that they brought with them to counterattack.
When Yuan Ying saw that the city was destroyed, he immediately rushed forward and climbed the wall like a soldier. In their eyes, a wall that was a few meters tall was nothing.
Yu Ziqi sighed from behind: "No wonder the dragon army is invincible against all under the heavens, with such a powerful offensive power, who can resist?"
Wuuuu...
The long horn at the back blew and the signal for a full-on attack rang out.
Rumbling sounds could be heard as the iron hooves of the war horses shook the earth. With the clang of iron armor, tens of thousands of elite riders came charging forward.
, Fan Kuai, Chen Ying and Li Shang, these four generals, led the twenty thousand Steel Cavalry army and rushed forward with unparalleled ferocity. Using the trident formation, they quickly approached the fortress, but it was a pity that at this time, many of the Chu Army could not see it, because they were all fighting against the dragon army that was rushing in from the stairs, inside the city wall, and had no time to watch.
At the back of the cavalry, there was a small team, less than a hundred riders, four people were riding on the back, they were Long Tianyu, Pure Jade Wan'er, Xue Mengyi and Zhang Zi Fang, watching the battle from afar, and having their own thoughts.
Long Tianyu thought that with victory in his hands, he would have to face Xiang Yu and Zhang Han who were outside of Xianyang. How could he attack, how could he attack suddenly when Qin Chu was both injured, and destroy the both of them in one go? Yueyao was still in Chu Army, and hoped that she would be safe. Otherwise, even a single Xianyang City would not be as precious as a delicate wife!
With the invention of this hot air balloon, a new pattern of war would appear in the future. Who knew what kind of new invention he would come up with?
Yi Yi had read about military strategy before, and had thought of stripping off her status as a muse to lead soldiers on the battlefield to revive the Yan Nation. Now that she had seen Long Lang's methods, she had long accepted them wholeheartedly, and no longer requested for a country to be restored, she only wanted to follow Long Lang and continue his campaign, establishing a new dynasty like he had said.
Long Tianyu had completely revealed this truth and had the will to fight with the Chu Army. Not only could he cross the Heaven's Danger Barrier with ease, he could also subtly reduce the strength of the allied armies and pave the way for the future dukes. As long as he took advantage of this opportunity to eliminate Zhang Han, Xiang Yu, and capture and Qin Er, the world would be easy to deal with.
Borrowing the wind to transmit, the flames became even brighter, with thick smoke rising into the sky. From afar, one could see the fire snakes soaring to the sky, some more than a hundred feet tall, extremely overbearing.
Many of the Chu Army were trapped by the fire, the camp became a graveyard, and the soldiers who were resting there stayed awake for a long time.
Due to the surrounding mountains and lofty mountains, the city was very small. There were not many residents in the city, other than some relay houses and mountain dwellings, there were also some military buildings and General's Manor s. It was inevitable that a fire would cause trouble, but fortunately, there were very few innocent people.
Long Tianyu looked at the flames that were roaring towards the sky, and thought, according to the records, when Xiang Yu attacked the West Qin, he set fire to the buildings and walls of the Hangu Pass, how did she manage to pass through? Now, the one who is going to set fire to the city is me, I hope that the future generations do not accuse me of destroying the ancient monuments!
Teng Yan and Jing Lei led a few thousand men to rush to the granary. Along the way, they split up Cao Zhu's army and led them to the warhorse breeding camp to see who was actually making trouble after sneaking into the city. Not long after Cao Zhi's group left, over a thousand war horses rushed out from the streets, screaming and charging in their direction.
In the manor, Han Xin could guess that something was amiss. He had first sent Teng Yan and Jing Lei to protect the rations, then sent you to mobilize the spermatophore's cavalry battalion. In the event that there were any problems with the city gates, he would immediately escort General Zhong Li to the Xianyang to retreat and look for General Li.
Wu Feng said in shock, "General Han, what about you?" If something unexpected happens, does that mean the general will not accompany his subordinate to leave? "
Han Xin sighed: "I want to fight to the end, even if there is only one soldier left, I cannot leave, because I have already issued a military order to General Fan and General Fan, I absolutely cannot lose! If I lose, I, Han Xin, will die to atone for my mistakes!"
Wu Feng still wanted to advise him, but Han Xin told him to immediately do it, so he could only retreat and mobilize the spermatophore's special cavalry.
Han Xin sighed, his expression becoming firm and his gaze becoming cold like a sword. He ordered: "Wu Chen, Yan Xiao, Wen Liang, the three of you go with me to the city gate to supervise the battle, repelling the dragon army!"
"Yes sir!"
Just as they were about to move together with Han Xin, a voice came from inside the courtyard, "General Han, there's no need to go to the city gates. The dragon army has already surrounded the general's manor.
"Ah?" "Who is it?" "Protect the general!"
The generals and iron guards in the hall walked in nervously, clanging their swords and drawing their crossbows. Their gazes were fixated on the courtyard outside the window.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …"
The sounds of arrows piercing through the air rang out as over a hundred iron arrows flew into the hall. In an instant, a series of screams echoed out as twenty to thirty guards in the front rows were hit by the arrows and killed on the spot. The faces of the remaining people changed, how did the soldiers sneak into the mansion, why was there no movement from the guards outside?
