Fight for hegemony from a desert island

Chapter 535
Xuzhou, Langya City.

There must be a reason why Sun Chengzong chose to put the defense line in Langya City. The main reason is that Langya City, as the capital of Langya Kingdom, is equivalent to a county-level existence.

In this city, no matter how strong the city wall is, or the materials needed for war are all available.

He put the line of defense here, and he can spend the least amount of effort to arrange the most complete line of defense.

In addition to this one, there is another important reason that Langya city is in the center of Langya country.

Strictly speaking, Sun Chengzong put the line of defense here, but it couldn't really stop Zhou Kui.

If Zhou Kui is willing, he can bypass Langye City and enter the hinterland of Xuzhou at any time

However, it is precisely because of the location of Langye City that if Zhou Kui does not take down Langye City, then Langye City will become a nail, nailed to the position where Qingzhou is attacking Xuzhou.

This nail can not only hold back the main force of the invasion, but may even bite the Qingzhou army severely at a critical moment.

This forced Zhou Kui to take down Langye City, and Zhou Kui's strong attack was another thing Sun Chengzong could only wish for.

As a first-class commander, Sun Chengzong may be somewhat mediocre in offense, but he is a first-class player in defense.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong is very confident, confident that he can defend Zhou Kui's attack, hold back Zhou Kui's 30 army, and buy time for Xuzhou's rear to react.

This is Sun Chengzong's self-confidence. He indeed has this ability, but Zhou Kui's 30 army is also not easy.

Zhou Kui's 30 is just Liu Cheng's vanguard. For his own vanguard, Liu Cheng has only one requirement, and that is to take down Langye City in one battle.

In order to accomplish this goal, Liu Cheng deployed a rather luxurious lineup among Zhou Kui's 30 troops.

This luxurious lineup immediately stood up and performed at the beginning of Zhou Kui's siege.

While Zhou Kui used [The Power of Inviting God] [-] yellow turban warriors to attack Langye city first, there were several more powerful figures rushing ahead of the [-] yellow turban warriors.

These people are the seven top generals Dian Xiong, Er Lengzi, Lin Chong, first-class generals Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Liu Dali, and Luo Feng.

Three top generals, four first-class generals.

Although in a large battlefield, it is difficult for a top-level general to compete with an army of tens of thousands.

But Zhou Kui didn't want these seven generals to compete against each other at all. He just wanted to use these seven generals as the sharpest spears to break through the enemy's defense.

With such a usage, the effect is completely different.

Seven generals led [-] yellow scarf warriors to charge, and in an instant they reached the top of Langya City.

With a sweep of Dian Xiong's pair of iron halberds, the Ming army within a radius of 20 meters was swept away, laying a perfect foothold for the yellow scarf warriors behind him.

On his left, Er Lengzi and Lin Chong also showed their power at this time, and they laid down a city wall about 40 meters away.

Coupled with the fact that Guanhai and Zhou Cang on their left had reasonably developed a 40-meter city wall, the [-]-meter-long city wall of Langya City fell just like that, showing the strength of first-class generals in this kind of siege battle.

"Three top generals, four first-class generals, this Liu Cheng really thinks highly of me, and he immediately throws out seven generals, which makes it very difficult for me!"

Although Sun Chengzong said so, he immediately stepped forward to direct the battle at this moment.

Although Sun Chengzong's commander talent was used, and although the seven generals were indeed extremely powerful, this was still within the range of Sun Chengzong's handling.

A first-class commander has quite strong control over his own army, and he has also used military power to a certain extent.

Using his control over the military and his control over the army, Sun Chengzong was still able to cope with the situation in front of him.

Sure enough, as soon as Sun Chengzong made a move, General Dian Xiong immediately felt the change in his opponent.

At this time, the cohesion of the Ming army on the city wall has been greatly improved, and the seven Dianxiongs have also been suppressed by Sun Chengzong's army at this time, and their own strength has declined slightly.

This change directly led to a significant reduction in the range of the city wall captured by Dian Xiong and others, from the original 100-meter city wall to only about 60 meters.

Although the distance could not be further compressed because of the tenacious resistance of the seven Dianxiong, but for Sun Chengzong, it was not a big problem for Dianxiong and others to occupy the 60-meter city wall.

Can't he deal with these seven people, and can't he deal with the Yellow Turban Army who followed them?
As long as Sun Chengzong can control the Yellow Turban Army behind them and prevent the Yellow Turban Army from killing the city wall, what if Dian Xiong and others occupy the 60-meter city wall?

From this point of view, it seems that the top generals are basically useless. Liu Chengjun gathered three top generals and four first-class generals, but they were finally suppressed by Sun Chengzong, and he was unable to make any real achievements in the siege.

Uh, although the situation is such a situation, the situation in front of us may not be true, or it should be said that it is not easy for Sun Chengzong himself to do this. He almost used the entire army of Langya city up.

And if he uses Langya City's army in this way, he will inevitably encounter a problem, that is, the entire Langya City's army will be out of balance.

At present, the distribution of military power in Langye City is in a state of imbalance, and all forces have been concentrated to the front by Sun Chengzong.

Although this force easily suppressed the seven generals and even resisted the attack of Zhou Kui's 30 army, it also ignited the fuse for Sun Chengzong's failure.

"Boom!" "Boom" "Boom"...

Just as Sun Chengzong was showing his might, a burst of cannons rang out.

[Shenwei Invincible General] blasted from the rear of Langya City, and smashed on the rear gate of Langya City at the same time.

"Not good! Hit the east and the west!"

Sun Chengzong realized it instantly, but it was too late.

When he understood, Dian Xiong's seven suppressed generals exploded with talent at the same time.

Zhou Cang’s [Nine Bulls and Two Tigers], Liu Dali’s [Fighting Warriors], Dian Xiong’s [Ghosts and Gods]...

As one by one's talents were activated, a terrifying aura erupted outrageously, and these seven generals finally broke out their true fighting power at this time.

The seven of them worked together and rushed towards Sun Chengzong's direction.

The seven generals in the front erupted, while at the rear, the five [Shenwei Invincible Generals] did not stop. Taking advantage of the time when Sun Chengzong was unable to mobilize the army, the powerful artillery blasted open the city gate.

At the same time that the gate of Langye City was blasted open, Ying Shengnan took the lead with a long spear and led Sheng Nan's army into Langye City.

Langya City, which seemed unbreakable to Da Ming, was easily breached in less than three hours...
