Chapter 66 - siege

Just when we had decided to attack the Sun South County, Zhang Tie moved closer to me and whispered, "Fourth brother, what should we do with the Nine True County's taiwai, Zhang Jin?" I immediately replied, "Third Brother, to think that Zhang Jin was actually able to surrender to our army and let us let him continue to be the taiwai of the Nine Enlightenment Country!" Zhang Tie said worriedly: "But, even if Zhang Jin is truly loyal to our army, I'm afraid that there will be people under him who are unconvinced! Once they betray us at the back, the Establishment that is fighting against Shi Xie will most likely be attacked from both sides! "

I muttered to myself, then said: "Then our army will be split into two parts, with Li Gang and two thousand people to guard the vicinity of the Nine Enlightenment Country, just in case something happens, while the rest of the troops will follow me to attack Shi Xie, we must eliminate him no matter what!" Zhang Tie could only agree.

I personally led the army to surround the Sun Nan County. Shi Xie stood by the wall and looked at the numerous Establishment soldiers, feeling upset in his heart. "Originally, our army was more than ten times Fan Li's, but he never thought that today, he would actually have even more troops than me! I've fought with him for a few years, and the more he fights, the stronger he becomes, while our army is getting weaker and weaker. Sigh! Am I really going to be wiped out by him? Fan Li, I will definitely defeat you! "

Shi Yi shouted, "Brother, quickly look!" Shi Xie then looked towards the direction that Shi Yi was pointing.

They saw the Fan Li Army's chariots rumbling as they approached, each chariot carrying a gigantic war drum. In front of each drum stood a soldier, who tapped the drum gently with the drumsticks in both hands. Around the chariot were soldiers drumming their backs. They slowly followed the chariot.

The soldiers of the Fan Li Army lined up neatly in a phalanx, slowly advancing step by step with the soft drumbeat. Shi Xie could clearly hear the orderly footsteps of the soldiers of the Fan Li Army as they walked. Shi Xie looked at this troop, and said hatefully: "Fan Li's army is truly extraordinary! As expected of a trained steel master! Compared to my useless soldiers, their combat power is much stronger! No wonder I was always defeated by him! This is so hateful! "

One by one, the Fan Li Army's troops advanced towards a place not far from the Sun Nan County's city. They lined up and waited for the order to attack. Some soldiers pushed their cars forward and came to the front of the line. There were also many soldiers who came out with ladders on their shoulders. The soldiers were staring at the enemy troops on the wall like a leopard staring at its prey.

I stared at Shi Xie who was on the city wall, and Shi Xie also stared at me. Their gazes met, and my gaze and Shi Xie's locked onto each other, as we were the commanders and commanders of the ten thousand men, our battle against each other was actually a contest between tens of thousands of people. We stared at each other, trying to see who would move their gaze first!

"Ha ha!" I laughed out loud and said excitedly: "Shi Xie, you have lost! You avoided my eyes! Haha! It looks like you don't have much confidence in defeating our army! In that case, I shall grant your wish! " I waved the sword in my hand and shouted loudly, "Knock the war drum loudly! The entire army was attacking the city! "We must take down the Sun Nan County!"

Following my order, the Fan Li Army's battle drums were beaten to the point where they were able to shake the skies. When the soldiers of the Fan Li Army heard the drumbeats, they immediately rushed towards the Sun Nan City while shouting. The first to charge were the soldiers carrying the ladders, followed by the soldiers pushing the chariots. They used the shields on their wrists to defend against the arrows and falling stones.

Fan Li's chariot fiercely collided with the city gate, causing the gate to slant inwards for a bit, then rebounded back. The Shi Xie soldiers inside the city gates were pressing thick wooden pillars against the city gates to prevent the Establishment from smashing it open. Just like that, the Fan Li Army soldiers outside the city gates pushed their chariots against the city gates, preventing the soldiers inside the city gates from slamming into the city. "On the other hand, arrows from the city wall rained down like a dense drizzle." "Chi!" "Chi!" "Swish!" A voice resounded incessantly.

The soldier pushing the chariot put his shield over his head to block the arrows coming down. The small stones that were thrown down from the city walls were still able to block the attacks. However, those big stones would often smash the shields flat. The soldiers who were badly injured would then fall to the ground one by one.

One of the soldiers was hit in the throat by an arrow, and he fell backward, shield and weapon falling from his hands. The soldiers beside him squatted down and used their shields to block the incoming arrows. Just like that, they slowly advanced while holding their shields. Even if they were to advance slowly, the number of arrows being shot at them was too dense. Many of the soldiers were still hit by the arrows. They had to stop and use their shields to block the arrows coming down from the city.

The soldiers carrying the ladders quickly ran to the bottom of the city wall and set up the ladders. Soon after, there was an endless stream of people rushing towards the city. Shi Xie soldiers who were on the city walls used their hands to push the ladders to the ground. The soldiers on the ladder screamed and fell to the ground.

At the edge of the ladder, soldiers were constantly running to secure the ladder with their bodies and hands so that it would not be pushed away by the enemy soldiers. The soldier holding the ladder shouted, "Quick! "Sandbag!" Many soldiers braved the rain of arrows and placed bags of sandbags filled with sand under the ladders to secure the ladders. Arrows were constantly being fired from the top of the city. Many of the soldiers climbing the ladders fell to the ground while screaming in pain. After falling to the ground, they were no longer able to get up.

The ladders on the chariot weren't too worried about being pushed by the enemy, but the enemies on the city walls raised their huge rocks and smashed them down. One after another, large rocks were thrown towards the chariot, and the soldiers on the chariot jumped off in a hurry. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" With a crash, the war chariot was smashed to smithereens! Fragments flew everywhere, and many of Fan Li's soldiers were injured by the splashing wood pieces.

Li Xiong ordered the drummer: "Beat the drum for me loudly! "I'll do what I can to get as high as I can!" After the drummer heard Li Xiong's order, he immediately used his strength to beat the battle drum. Li Xiong waved his sword and shouted towards the city: "The enemy doesn't have much strength left! If he put in more effort, he would be able to take down the city! Brothers, get up! " With that, Li Xiong ran to the front and pointed his sword at the city wall.

He ran to the foot of the city wall and shouted, "The Iron Gou Army! Fast! Throw the iron hook onto the city wall! "Climb up to the city!" The moment the soldiers with the hooks heard the order, they all threw the hooks at the city wall. Then, holding onto the ropes, they climbed towards the city wall step by step.

Shi Wu shouted from the top of the city, "Quick! Pour the oil from the city over me! Burn those bastards to death! And throw down stones and big pieces of wood, and smash the enemy to death! "" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! The boiling hot oil, as well as the rocks and big pieces of wood, all fell towards the Establishment soldiers below the city. The Establishment soldiers wailed as people fell from the walls. The stones and big pieces of wood smashed holes in the ground beneath the city.

Shi Wu laughed out loud as he saw all of this, "There is nothing to be afraid of in an enemy army! We just have to hold on a little longer, and victory is ours! Brother, victory will definitely be ours! "

Looking at all this, I said softly, "Isn't it time to retreat? The losses from this attack were too great! Too big! So many of our good brothers have died such a miserable death! " Zhang Tie looked at me, he knew that I was already confused, I don't even have much confidence in winning anymore …

Just at this time, the waiting riding ran over, "Report ~! My lord, something terrible has happened! The taiwai of the Nine Genuine County, Zhang Jin, had been assassinated by his department general! The people of the Nine Enlightenment Country and this county will all surrender to Shi Xie! " Zhang Tie and I turned and stared at him. "What! Zhang Jin was killed? The Jiuzhen County is going to surrender to Shi Xie!? "

I was extremely worried, "If the Jiuzhen County really were to attack our army together with Shi Xie, then our army would definitely lose, what should we do?"

waiting riding replied, "It's true! Prefectural scene originally wanted to use the Nine Enlightenment Country to surrender to Shi Xie! However, the moment General Li Gang heard the news of Prefectural betrayal, he immediately sent two thousand soldiers to attack the Nine Enlightenment Country and kill Prefectures! "The Nine Enlightenment Country has fallen into our hands again!" I put my hand on my forehead and said, "Phew! It was really dangerous! If I did not reserve Li Gang's two thousand guards around Jiuzhen, then the area of the Jiuzhen County would have joined Shi Xie to attack our forces! That was close! "That was close!"

Zhang Tie said: "Fourth Brother, we cannot retreat now, we must eliminate Shi Xie! Shi Xie had earned himself the hearts of the people in the Jiao Prefecture! Not eliminating him was equivalent to nurturing a tiger! To be merciful to the enemy was tantamount to being cruel to oneself! It was impossible for war to have no dead people. The only reason dead people died right now was because they needed to kill less people in the future! My lord, give the order to charge together! "Beat up the entire Southern County!"

I jumped into a nearby chariot and drew my own sword. I held it high in the air, and a strong ray of sunlight shone down on my sword, sending countless rays of light flying out in all directions. I shouted, "Brothers! Today is the day our army and Shi Xie fight to the death! Was it us or Shi Xie who made history? I think we're the ones who can make history! It is because of your seemingly ordinary people that you are constantly creating and changing history! For this you are not ordinary people, you are the heroes of history! Heroes, let's go create history together! " When the soldiers heard this, they were deeply shocked. They all raised their arms and shouted, "Good! Good! We are willing to go along with the Lord to create our own history! "

I pointed my sword at the Sunan County and shouted, "Brothers, charge! "Attack Sunan County!" I yelled, and he took the lead and charged to the base of the wall. Li Xiong stopped me, and wanted to advise me: "My lord, master, you cannot risk your life so easily! Let's let our subordinates climb up to the city! " I firmly objected, "No! I want to ascend the city, and I want to join my brothers in conquering the south of the sun! "

Li Xiong shouted loudly: "Fourth Brother! Listen to me! You are the main general. If anything happens to you, our army will lose its leader! You have to be responsible for everyone! For example, beheading a general while seizing the flag, or climbing onto the city to attack it, this was the responsibility of a deputy general, not the responsibility of a general! The duty of a commander was to command the entire army! Fourth brother must endure this useless courage! " I was speechless. After being silent for a long time, I could only say, "This, this is fine!"

Fan Li Army had begun their fierce assault on Sun Nan City …
