Seeing Liang Qi's face showing his satisfaction, Bai Yong, the deputy commander of Sanshui army, said anxiously: "general, commander Zhang Xiaoting, 20000 Ning army went to resist the wind. Even if general yuan let is brave, he can't resist it! Do we... Send a wave of troops to help him?"
Liang Qi waved his hand and said, "Shangguan yuanrang is good at bravery. Even if the enemy can't defeat so many Ning troops, there should be no problem in self-protection. The primary goal of our army is Tongmen. Everything should focus on Tongmen. We must concentrate our troops and win Tongmen in the shortest time!"
Bai Yong grinned and said anxiously, "if yuan makes the general fall into a siege, it's difficult to get out..."
"If the earthen pot doesn't leave the wellhead, the general will inevitably die before the battle. Before the battle, whether the two armies live or die is up to fate. You and I can't control so much!" At this time, Liang Qi's ruthless side was revealed again, from which it was not difficult to see his surname. In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to pay any price. Even Shangguan yuanrang, which Tang Yin valued so much, could be sacrificed in his eyes.
These two days, Liang Qi has already quietly hidden the main force of the Sanshui army and a large number of siege equipment near Tongmen, waiting for the empty opportunity of Tongmen. Now the opportunity has finally come. How can he miss it? Liang Qi calculated the time. He felt that Zhang Xiaoting was almost close to rejecting the wind, and then conveyed to the general that the whole army attacked Tongmen.
There are carrier pigeons between the spies of Tianyan and the underground network as a tool for transmitting information. As soon as Liang Qi's military order was issued, the spies of Tianyan and the underground network immediately released a large number of carrier pigeons and distributed them to the Sanshui army hidden around Tongmen. After receiving the carrier pigeon, the ready Sanshui army immediately rushed out of the gully, valley and jungle and quickly gathered in front of Tongmen.
Due to the different hiding positions, the time when the three water army corps arrived at the foot of Tongmen city was also different. Liang Qi and Bai Yong were the fastest. The 23000 water army suddenly appeared outside Tongmen city as if it had fallen from the sky, and even the flag could be fired in the future.
Seeing many wind troops in black armor suddenly coming outside the city, Ning Jun on the head of the city couldn't react.
Liang Qi didn't give them time to respond. He didn't even wait for the arrival of other Corps. He had given the order to attack the city first.
With his order, the 23000 water troops under his command rushed to Tongmen like a tide.
At this time, the Ning army stationed in Tongmen finally realized that there was an enemy outside the city. For a moment, the city screamed and the alarm bell rang. While closing the gate of Tongmen, Ning Jun dispatched manpower to the head of the city and launched arrows at the Sanshui army outside the city.
At this time, the manpower of Ning army in the east wall of Tongmen was only a few thousand people, but the power of its arrow array was still amazing, and it was still a commanding arrow with a very long range. When the Sanshui army was 200 steps away from the wall of Tongmen, the dense arrows had fallen head-on.
The three soldiers continued to roll forward with the roar of the soldiers, as if the three soldiers were rushing forward. The officers and men of Sanshui army know very well that now they go deep into the enemy's hinterland. If they can attack Tongmen, there may be a glimmer of vitality. If they can't attack Tongmen, none of their 90000 people will survive.
This is a desperate battle, either win or die. In this case, how can the soldiers of the Sanshui army not work hard?
More and more soldiers were shot down by arrows, but they could not stop the charge of the Sanshui army. People stepped on the bodies of their companions and were getting closer and closer to the city wall. When they reached the range, the Sanshui army's counterattack had begun. The soldiers took down their bows and arrows while running, aimed at the head of the city and put them together.
In an instant, there was also a scream at the head of the city. From time to time, Ning Jun, who was hit by an arrow, screamed and fell from the city wall. At this time, the Ningjun counselors and generals in the city have also gone up the wall. Seeing that the enemy's attack is extremely fierce, some counselors shouted: "put the wolf smoke quickly and let the general return to the city for support!"
Hearing the Counselor's words, Sergeant Ning and his soldiers immediately lit all the beacon fires, and the thick smoke billowed on the head of Tongmen city and rushed into the sky.
Liang Qi, the commander of the battle, saw clearly and shouted a bad cry. He immediately ordered that the broken city crossbow and the broken army crossbow in the general move out and shoot at the head of the city.
The left and right generals immediately conveyed his generals. With the roaring sound, dozens of broken city crossbows and broken army crossbows were pushed out. While opening the crossbow strings, people aimed at the city head of Tongmen and launched volley fire.
Buzz!
Dozens of giant crossbow machines fired at the same time. What they fired was not crossbows and arrows at all, but wooden posts one by one. In particular, the broken city crossbow was too powerful. At such a distance, it was like lightning flying to the head of the city with strong wind, hitting the arrow buttress, and even the thick arrow buttress was pierced.
Ning Jun, who hid behind the arrow stack and was still twisting his bow and arrow or carrying rolling wood and stones, didn't even know what was going on, so he was hit right by the wooden stake pierced through the arrow stack. Because of his great strength, he directly flew people out. While people were still flying in the air, he was shocked by seven holes bleeding and died. His body flew into the crowd of Ning Jun behind and rolled down the wall with a group of people.
After only one round of Volley shooting, the Ning army on the head of the city was in a mess, with screams and howls. Even the counselors and generals of the Ning army were stupid. They had never seen such a siege weapon, and even the arrow buttress could be shot through. How powerful! The generals covered with spirit armor looked at the wooden stakes inserted on the arrow stack and couldn't help sweating in secret. They are confident that their spiritual armor will not be stronger than the arrow stack.
Just as Liang Qi was commanding the siege, a team of men and horses suddenly rushed up from the rear. The general led by Liang Qi whipped up his whip and shouted loudly while running: "general, the eighth corps of Sanshui army is here --"
Liang Qi didn't even turn back. He waved the flag in his hand and ordered the eighth corps to go up.
Seeing this, the regiment commander did not order the army to stop and rest. He directly led his subordinates to pass by Liang Qiben's array and threw themselves into the battlefield. After a short time, the dust in the rear rose again, and the distance was so far. The head general shouted, "report to general, the third corps of Sanshui army is here..."
Liang Qi still waved his flag forward.
"Report -- general, the sixth corps of Sanshui army arrives --"
"Report -- general, the seventh corps of Sanshui army arrives --"
With the loud cry, two more troops rushed up from the left and right sides of Liang Qiben array. Liang Qi was lazy to wave the flag again. He looked at the battlefield ahead and said to Bai Yong: "beat the drum! Order the whole army to attack!"
"Yes, general!" Bai Yong promised to convey his general.
Liang Qi added: "send someone to send messages to the generals in front. No matter what means they use, no matter how many brothers die, even if they use people to pile them, they will pile them into the city for me within half an hour!"
"Yes!"
Liang Qi always has strict military orders. If his orders are passed on, there is no room for discussion. He can only carry them out. The following generals either complete their military orders and return victoriously, or bring their heads back.
After receiving Liang Qi's death order, the regiment leaders of each regiment went to the battlefield in person and commanded their soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Tongmen. With the arrival of each regiment, the manpower to attack the city expanded from 20000 to 90000 in a very short time. Looking outside Tongmen City, it was the wind army.
Soon, the soldiers holding the array crossbow in Sanshui army began to climb up the city along the ladder. The long-range shooting power of the array crossbow could not be compared with that of the bow and arrow, but the effect of close combat was excellent. Even when climbing the ladder, the soldiers could shoot up the crossbow and arrow, which was a great threat to the defenders throwing rolling logs and stones.
Many Ning soldiers have raised the rolling wood and stone. When they are about to hit it down, the sergeant Sanshui has begun to pull the trigger and shoot the crossbow and arrow. At such a close distance, the crossbow and arrow can pierce the steel armor of Ning army. With the sound of armor breaking, Ning Army on the head of the city is full of crossbows and arrows and falls down in a row.
Taking advantage of the enemy's neutral position, the Sanshui Army soldiers accelerated their climb, worked hard and rushed to the city. The first batch of soldiers killed on the head of the city suffered the sharpest counterattack from the Ning army. Long halberds and spears came from all directions. The soldiers could not dodge. Their bodies were stabbed into horse beehives in an instant and screamed and fell down the city wall.
After that, several groups of soldiers were not spared. They were picked down from the wall by the Ning army one by one until some soldiers rushed to the Ning army recklessly. They would rather have their bodies pierced into a sieve than smash the Ning army camp. At this time, they finally opened the gap. Then, a large number of soldiers followed through the gap and fought with the Ning army.
When there are risks to bear, Ning army has a huge advantage. Once Sanshui army kills the head of the city and launches close combat with it, the advantage of the garrison certainly does not exist. The wind man is strong and brave and good at close combat. Although Ning army has strong armor and powerful weapons, close combat has always been a weakness. As the Sanshui army went up more and more, the Ning army began to be irresistible and defeated backward in groups.
Liang Qi, who was in charge of the formation, saw that his soldiers had successfully killed the city. He could no longer sit still. He pulled out his sword and shouted, "kill --" before his cry fell, he personally pulled a war horse, turned over and stepped up, and then went straight to the battlefield ahead. He was the commander-in-chief of Sanshui army. He went to battle in person and scared Bai Yong, generals and bodyguards around him. How dare people delay and rush to the battlefield with Liang Qi.
Liang Qi's personal participation in the war pushed the morale of the Sanshui army to the top. The soldiers almost seemed to forget life and death. They roared up the ladder to the head of the city, waved their swords and frantically cut and killed Ning army.
More and more lines of defense were broken through. In the end, Ning Bing could hardly be found on the top of the city. Looking around, there were all dark wind troops.
Defeat like a mountain! Once defeated, how easy is it to stop the decline? Moreover, there were only a few thousand people left in the Ning army at this time, while the Sanshui army had more than 80000 people. It was a close battle in the city. The Ning army could not support it completely. One group fled to the west of the city, while another group fled to the general's house in the center of the city.
