Seeing Liang Qi's pleased expression, Deputy Commander Bai Yong, who was in charge of the Sanshui Army, said worriedly, "General, Zhang Xiaoting is commanding the 20 million strong army to go to the Jufeng. We... Should we split up our forces to assist him? "

Liang Qi waved his hand and said, "Shangguan Yuan let Su Yun be brave enough to stand up for himself. Even if he can't beat that many Ning Army, it shouldn't be a problem for him to protect himself. Our first goal is the Tong Gate, everything should be based on the Tong Gate, we must mobilize our forces, and in the shortest amount of time possible, take down the Tong Gate! "

Bai Yong secretly grimaced, and said anxiously: "What if General Yuan gets caught in a tight encirclement, making it hard to escape …"

"If the jars are not broken, the generals will inevitably perish before the battle. In front of the two armies, life and death are up to fate. You and I do not have to care about that! " At this time, Liang Qi's cold and merciless side revealed itself once again. From this, it was not difficult to see his character, in order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to pay any price. Even Shangguan Yuan who was highly regarded by Tang Yin, could be sacrificed.

These past two days, Liang Qi had long been secretly hiding his Sanshui Army's main forces and numerous siege equipment near the Tong Gate, waiting for the opportunity where his Tong Gate was empty. Now that the chance had finally come, how could he miss it? Liang Qi calculated the time, and felt that Zhang Xiaoting's group was almost at the Jufeng, so he immediately passed it on to the generals, so that the entire army could attack the Tong Gate.

There was a carrier pigeon between the scouts of the Sky Eye and the Earth Web. Once Liang Qi's order was received, the scouts of the Sky Eye and Earth Web immediately released a large number of messenger pigeons, which were spread to the Sanshui Army hidden near the Tong Gate. After receiving the carrier pigeon, the Sanshui Army that had been waiting to take action immediately gushed out of the ravine, valley, and forest, and quickly gathered in front of the Tong Gate.

Due to the different hiding spots, the time it took for the Sanshui Army legions to reach the area below the city was also different. Liang Qi and Bai Yong were the fastest, the twenty thousand Sanshui Army were like they had fallen from the sky, they suddenly appeared outside of the city, and didn't even have time to call for the flag.

Seeing that many black-armoured Feng Army s had suddenly appeared outside the city, the Ning Jun on top of the city walls didn't know how to react.

Liang Qi did not give them any time to react. He had already given the order to attack the city a step earlier without even waiting for the arrival of the other legions.

Following his orders, the twenty thousand Sanshui Army under his command rushed towards the Tong Gate like a surging tide.

It was at this time that the Ning army guarding Tong Gate finally realized that the person outside the city was the enemy. In an instant, shouts came from the top of the city walls and alarm bells sounded everywhere. As Ning Jun closed the gates to Tong Gate, she transferred people to the city walls and began firing arrows at the Sanshui Army outside the city.

At this time, there were only a few thousand or so people that were standing near the Tong Gate wall but the power of the formation of arrows was still astonishing, and they were shot from above, so their range was extremely far. When the Sanshui Army was still two hundred steps away from the wall, the concentrated amount of arrows had already landed.

Following the bursts of blood-curdling screams, from time to time, the charging Sanshui Army Soldiers would have their bodies penetrated by Eagle Feather Arrow and would roll forward onto the ground. The Sanshui Army behind them acted as if they could not see the corpses of their comrades, and they continued to suppress their strength and rush forward. All of Sanshui Army's soldiers knew very well that right now, their side was deep inside the enemy's territory, so if they could attack the Tong Gate, perhaps they could still have a chance at survival. If they couldn't attack the Tong Gate, then none of the 90,000 people on their side could survive.

This was a war of attrition at full cost. Victory or death, how could the Sanshui Army soldiers not risk their lives in this sort of situation?

More and more soldiers were being shot down by the arrows, but they could not stop Sanshui Army from charging forward at all. The people advanced while stepping on their comrades' corpses, and the distance between them and the city walls became closer and closer. When they entered the range of the arrows, the counterattack from Sanshui Army had already started, the soldiers took down their bows and arrows as they ran, aimed at the city walls, and released their arrows in unison.

In an instant, screams of agony could be heard from the top of the city wall as well. From time to time, Ning Jun, who had been shot by arrows, would fall down from the city wall while screaming. At this time, the strategists for the Ning Army and the Generals had already ascended the city walls. Seeing the enemy's ferocious attacks, one of the strategists shouted: "Let go of the smoke, let the general return to the city to assist!"

Hearing the advisor's words, the Ning Soldier immediately lit all the beacons, causing thick smoke to billow from the top of Tong Gate City, straight into the clouds.

Liang Qi, who was in command of the battle, saw through the situation and cried out inwardly. He immediately ordered the City-breaking Crossbow among the generals to move out and fire at the city walls together.

Dozens of City-breaking Crossbow and Army-broking Crossbow were pushed out along with the rumbling sounds. Everyone opened their crossbows as they aimed at the city walls of Tong Gate and released a volley of arrows.

Weng! *

Dozens of gigantic Crossbow s shot out at the same time, either as crossbow bolts or as wooden stakes, especially City-breaking Crossbow s, they were too powerful, with such a long distance, they were like streaks of lightning, shooting towards the top of the city walls, hitting the arrow stacks, and even piercing through the thick arrow stacks.

Hiding behind the arrow stack, Ning Jun, who was still using his bow and arrows or carrying Rolling Lumber And Stone s, didn't even know what happened when he was struck by the wooden stake that pierced through the arrow stack. Because of his great strength, he was directly sent flying backwards, and while he was still in the air, he was already shaken until his seven orifices bled, causing him to die, while his corpse flew behind the Ning Army, bringing a group of people with him as he rolled down the city walls.

After one round of salvo, Ning Jun's army on top of the city wall was thrown into disarray as wails and howls sounded out in all directions. Even the strategists and Generals's army were stunned as they had never seen a city assault weapon that could even penetrate a battlements. The soldiers in the spirit armor couldn't help but break out in cold sweat as they looked at the wooden stakes stuck into the battlements. They were confident that their spirit armor wouldn't be stronger than an arrow.

Just as Liang Qi was commanding the siege, a group of men suddenly rushed up from behind him. The leader of the group quickly rode on his horse and shouted loudly as he ran: "General, Sanshui Army Eighth Regiment has arrived!"

Without even turning his head, Liang Qi waved the command flag in his hand forward, ordering the eighth legion to go up.

Seeing that, the regiment commander did not order the troops to rest, immediately leading his soldiers past Liang Qi's array and into the battlefield. Not long after, dust rose from the rear again, and the distance was long. The leader of the commanders shouted, "Reporting to the — General, Sanshui Army Third Regiment is here —"

Liang Qi still continued to wave his banner without turning his head.

"Reporting to General, Sanshui Army Sixth Regiment has arrived!"

"Reporting — General, Sanshui Army has arrived —"

Following a loud and clear shout, another two troops rushed forward from the left and right of Liang Qi's main formation. At this time, Liang Qi was already lazily waving the banner of command. He looked at the battlefield in front of him and said to Bai Yong who was beside him: "Beat the drum! "Command the entire army to attack!"

"Yes!" "General!" Bai Yong promised as he sent his commander on his way.

Liang Qi continued, "Send someone to send a message to the generals in front of you. No matter what methods you use, no matter how many brothers you use, even if you use a lot of people, you must send them to the city within an hour!"

"Yes sir!"

Liang Qi had always been strict with his soldiers, so when he passed down his orders, there was no room for negotiation. He could only carry them out, and the generals below would either complete their orders and return home, or raise their heads and return.

After receiving Liang Qi's death order, the various regiment leaders all personally went onto the battlefield, commanding their soldiers to launch their fierce attacks on the Tong Gate. Following the continuous arrival of the various regiment leaders, the number of people attacking the city increased from twenty thousand to ninety thousand in a short period of time.

Very quickly, the soldiers carrying crossbows in their hands began to climb up the stairs towards the city. The power of the crossbows that were shot from far away could not be compared to the might of the crossbows, but the effect of close combat was extremely good. Even when climbing up the ladder, the soldiers could shoot out crossbow arrows, which was too much of a threat to the defending army who were throwing Rolling Lumber And Stone.

Many Ning Jun had already raised the Rolling Lumber And Stone high up, and just as they were about to smash downwards, the Sanshui Army soldiers below already started pulling the triggers, and shot out their crossbow arrows. At such a close distance, the crossbow arrows were already able to pierce through the Steel Armor on Ning Jun's body.

Taking advantage of the enemy appearing in the air, the Sanshui Army soldiers quickly climbed, and in one breath, they rushed to the top of the city wall. The first batch of soldiers who charged up to the city walls suffered the most incisive counterattacks from the Ning Army. The long halberd spears came from all directions, and the soldiers couldn't dodge in time as their bodies were instantly pierced into hornets' beehives as they screamed and fell off the city wall.

After that, the groups of soldiers who had rushed up were not able to escape, and were pushed off the city walls one by one, until some soldiers rushed towards Ning Jun without a care for their own safety, willing to be pierced into a sieve to break the Ning Army Camp, only then did they finally open up a gap, and the large number of soldiers that followed along used the air to fight Ning Jun Wu Yi's bloody battle.

If there were dangers, the Ning Army had a huge advantage. And once Sanshui Army attacked the city walls, instead of launching a close combat battle, the defending army's advantage would naturally disappear. The Wind Man was valiant and adept at close combat, and although the Ning Army's armor was sturdy, as well as their weapons, close combat had always been a weak point. As more and more Sanshui Army appeared, Ning Jun Wu Yi and his army couldn't hold on any longer and retreated in large groups.

When Liang Qi, who was in command of the array, saw that his own troops had successfully charged up to the city walls, he could no longer stay still, unsheathed his sword, and shouted loudly: "KILL —" Before he could even finish shouting, he had already pulled his horse over, and jumped onto it. Then, he rushed towards the battlefield in front. He was the commander of the Sanshui Army, he had personally gone up to battle, but he had scared Bai Yong, the deputy general, and the guards around him black out. No one dared to delay, all of them holding their weapons, and they followed Liang Qi onto the battlefield.

Liang Qi's personal participation in the battle pushed the morale of the Sanshui Army to the peak. The soldiers seemed to have forgotten about their own lives, as they roared and rushed up the ladder towards the city walls, brandishing the warblades in their hands and crazily slashed at the Ning Army.

More and more defensive lines were being broken, and in the end, it was almost impossible to find a Ning Armament on top of the city walls.

A defeat like a landslide! The moment he was defeated, how could it be easy to stop his dejection? Moreover, there were only a few thousand people left in the Ning Army at the moment, while there were more than eighty thousand in Sanshui Army. Furthermore, they were fighting in close combat within the city, so the Ning Army was unable to hold on any longer.
