Chapter 216 Siege
The Emperor of Xinjiang knew that he was too old to lead troops to fight, and the internal strife in the territory continued, and the poor and weak soldiers were not suitable for direct confrontation, so he had to build defense projects to resist Nanguozhen's army.

After learning that Nan Guozhen borrowed the Northern Wolf Cavalry to attack all the way south and was about to attack Jiangcheng, the Emperor Jiang got up from Longtao in panic and panic, and went to the tower to inspect the defense operations.

At this time, Nan Guozhen just led the army to the gate of Jiangcheng, looking at the three-story high and two-story thick, majestic and solid three-story protective city wall.Nanguo Zhen wondered when did the old Xinjiang emperor build this protective wall?When I was fleeing last year, this protective wall was not so strong and not so strong.

The old Xinjiang emperor, who was afraid of death, kept repairing the city wall day and night last year, and raised the city wall to a height of three stories, so that his heart was at ease.

Still worried, the old Xinjiang emperor added two more inner city walls.

Looking at the heavily fortified city wall, Nan Guo cheered and said: It may be difficult to capture this city.

Indeed, even though the Southern Kingdom has the Northern Wolf Cavalry, it is really difficult to break through these three high walls, and the old Xinjiang Emperor put all his troops here.

The old Jiang emperor hunched over and coughed non-stop. Seeing the soldiers approaching the city, he panicked and ordered to shoot arrows, and even fired the ballista machine at Nanguo.

Because it was a long-distance battle, a quick-fix battle plan had to be adopted. In addition to the southward attack, the whole army didn't have much rest.Fortunately, this month is full of victories, which has greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, and the fatigue has faded away.

Therefore, Nan Guozhen led his troops here just to make an observation first, and did not intend to start a war.I wanted to make an observation first, and then discuss a battle plan, but I didn't expect the old Jianghuang to be so afraid of himself.

Looking at the sharp arrows coming towards him, Nan Guozhen certainly couldn't back down.

"Now that the enemy is shooting at us, should we back down?"

Nan Guozhen asked all the soldiers, and of course all the soldiers said that they could not back down, even if they were very tired.

The unified slogan of the whole army: "Never back down!"

Nan Guozhen gave an order, "Okay, then we will not stop until we break through this pool. Chong Chong..."

kill kill...

The subordinates can be said to respond to all calls, and such a big battle kicked off.

Without knowing the enemy's situation, facing the enemy's dense arrows and crossbows, Nan Guozhen seemed a little hasty and at a loss, but Nan Guozhen was a veteran of many battles after all, so he quickly calmed down and launched amazing tactics.

The Nanguo Zhenming infantry raised their shields and spears and walked in the front row to protect the heavy armored archers and trebuchets in the rear row, and then let the northern wolf cavalry in the last row make a surprise attack.

Yushu's archers and trebuchets hit the opponent with precision, suppressing the opponent's massive firepower and giving the Northern Wolf Cavalry the best opportunity to make a surprise attack.

The northern wolf cavalry lived up to their expectations and succeeded in the surprise attack, and severely repelled the Jianghuang army who went out of the city to fight, and dealt a heavy blow to the Jianghuang army.

Although Nan Guozhen had the upper hand on the surface, it was still a long way to break through the first protective wall of Jiangcheng.

Because the opponent's bows and ballistas were too fierce, Nan Guozhen's army was still unable to get close to the city gate, let alone break through the city gate.

When everyone was at their wit's end, the thirteenth son thought of a good way, ordering Yilong and Yique to lead a death squad to dig a tunnel at a corner of the city wall.

In order to shorten the length of the tunnel and dig it faster, the opening of the excavation should not be too far away from the city wall, but it must be excavated at a close distance. I am afraid that people will be killed by arrows or ballistas before they are dug.

The thirteenth son thought of using shield soldiers as a cover again.

The shield soldiers held up the shields in their hands one by one, forming a small fort with shield bases, squatting there like thousands of turtle shells.

Under the cover of shields, the Death Squad worked with difficulty. Although the shields were tightly stacked, there were always gaps, or when the hands were tired, the arrows that were dense like raindrops could always find the shooter.

A shield soldier falls, another shield soldier makes up.

The Death Squad works under such conditions, even if they are tired and have cramps in their hands, they dare not stop. In the eyes of the Death Squad, the shield soldiers are more like the Death Squad.

At Yemu, the Death Squad finally got enough people to get in, and the shield soldiers retreated.

Here Yilong and Yique succeeded, and Yushu over there also received good news.

After some pressing up and down, a gap of 20 meters was opened on the solid walled city.

Nan Guozhen took advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the city with his army.

Yu Wenyan was the first to rush forward, climbing up the ladder with agility, and almost fell down several times on the ladder, fortunately, he quickly took out the sharp knife from his waist, and thrust it into the crack of the stone, and it caught the stone. It saved his life.

Yu Wenyan took advantage of the force between the sharp knife in his ribs and the cracks in the stone, leaped up and climbed up the city wall.

Yu Wenyan kicked back and forth again, kicking down two Jiang Huang soldiers who were holding machetes and slashing towards him.

Taking advantage of the chance that the Jianghuang soldiers hadn't got up, Yu Wenyan snatched the Jianghuang soldiers' scimitar, swiped twice, and the two Jianghuang soldiers could no longer get up.

As long as one person climbs up the city, it will be easy for the people below.

Hundreds of ladders are densely covered with warriors. The momentum is like a huge army of ants, climbing the ladders to move.

Below, Nan Guozhen led the Northern Wolf cavalry, rushing towards the 20-meter gap like a flood.

The first line of defense fell, and Lao Jiang Huang had no choice but to retreat to the second line of defense.

The old Jianghuang who retreated to the second defense did not dare to take it lightly.

When Nan Guozhen reached the second line of defense, the vicious old Xinjiang emperor ordered to pour poisonous liquid on Nan Guozhen.

The venom rolling down from the high wall dripped onto the armor and horses of the soldiers. In an instant, the horses in the group neighed in pain and ran wildly uncontrollably.

White smoke rose from the armor and helmets of the soldiers who were drenched in the venom, and the armor and helmets were instantly corroded, spreading to every inch of skin.

The skin seemed to be scorched, and the soldiers were in pain.

Nanguo Zhenli ordered all soldiers to retreat 200 meters away, and the two armies faced each other for two days and two nights.

It wasn't until Yilong, Yique and others dug the tunnel and cooperated with the inside and outside that Nan Guozhen was able to break through the second defense.

The two defenses were breached, and the old Jianghuang became even more panicked. He urged the soldiers to increase their firepower, and stones and logs of different sizes rolled down.

Nan Guozhen also launched a fierce confrontation, driving a trebuchet and a heavy bow and arrow machine. This battle was very fierce... until the arrows on both sides were exhausted.

Seeing that the third defense was about to be breached, Lao Jianghuang knew that this day had finally come!
Lao Jiang's heart became cold, he gave up holding on, and walked back to the palace with heavy steps, waiting for Nan Guozhen to take his head.

Nan Guozhen fought more and more courageously, catapults, ballistas, and crashed cars repeatedly attacked, and finally broke through the Qianjin gate.

Nan Guozhen captured the third line of defense, and if the third line of defense failed, it would mean the loss of Jiangcheng, and the loss of Jiangcheng would mean the end of Jianguo.

It was already night when the Southern Kingdom attacked the border kingdom's imperial palace.

This night, tens of thousands of people will not be able to sleep, the trumpets of victory rumbling in the night sky of Jiangcheng, tens of thousands of torches, illuminating the palace of Jianguo.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...........

The heavy thunderous footsteps came towards the old Jianghuang!
The old Jianghuang sitting on the dragon chair, looking around, is Nan Guozhen, a familiar scene.

Nan Guozhen was wearing armor, with a red wind on his shoulders, holding a long sword with blood still dripping on it, and approached the old Jianghuang step by step with those bright star-like eyes filled with murderous intent.
