As the battle progressed, Huang Degong had concentrated most of his troops on Ximen.

Not only did Ximen not have red cannons, but even equipment such as arrows, crossbows, woods and stones were extremely limited. If Yu Wan had not brought people to reinforce in time, he would have been broken into the East Army.

The city tower was covered with corpses, and the smell of burnt everywhere. The blood on the floor soaked Yu Wan's cloth shoes.

"Brother Jinlong, how is the situation?"

Wu Jinlong was temporarily transferred from Susong County by Yu Wan, and was mainly responsible for the security of Ximen.

Wu Jinlong touched the blood stains on his forehead and fisted, "Report to the magistrate, the thief army attacked the city tower twice, but they were killed by their brothers. So, they are preparing for the third attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several archers were hit by stray bullets and fell into a pool of blood with a muffled groan.

Although the Eastern Army did not have artillery, it had a musket team of hundreds of people. Their own side was quite terrible. Not only were there no guns and cannons, but even the arrows were almost exhausted.

If artillery troops could be formed before the war, today's war would be much easier.

"General Yu, Tiger and Leopard, and Dragon Power have been assembled, and I'll wait for your order!"

At the entrance of the stairs of the city tower, Qin Boqiong and Jiang Ning said in a deep voice.

"Are Lao Zhao ready?"

"It's all done!"

"Okay, act as planned."

"Get orders!"

Jiang Ning and the others walked down without hesitation. Soon after, the city gate quietly opened and more than two thousand iron cavalry roared out.

The Eastern Army finally rushed to the city in the rain of arrows. Just as they were about to build a ladder, the other party suddenly opened the city gate and was caught off guard by the cavalry running towards them!

Qin Boqiong killed more than ten people in a row and cut down all the ladders of the Eastern Army to the ground. "Longwei Camp obeyed the order, and the entire army was divided into five columns to cut the enemy!"

The soldiers under Longwei Camp had extremely high combat capabilities, and they rushed into the enemy's formation like a tiger entering a wolf pack, killing the Eastern soldiers with their horses and overturning their feet. Qin Boqiong was even more brave and powerful, and made Hao Xiaozhong, who was opposite, fleeing in a panic.

Before the other party could recover, Jiang Ning shouted with a gun, "Tiger and Leopard Camp obeyed the orders and quickly arranged a snake formation. You must never let the thieves approach the city wall!"

With Jiang Ning's order, this long snake composed of thousands of people continued to change its shape. Sometimes the golden snake wrapped around silk, and sometimes the long snake sealed the pig. It pounced and moved among the chaotic army, freely traversing, like a natural barrier.

The Western Army not only had strong individual combat power, but also cooperated seamlessly with each other. Therefore, although the number of people was small, it was not at all inferior.

Longwei Camp is good at singles, and Tiger and Leopard Camp is good at team battles. After this battle, Yu Wan has a deeper understanding of these two main generals.

"Miss Chu, why are you here?"

Just when Yu Wan was ignorant, Wu Jinlong suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Yu Wan looked around and saw Chu Yan, who was floating in the fairy skirt, slowly walking towards him holding a short sword.

"What are you here for?"

"I……"

Chu Yan frowned, his hands trembled slightly, and after a while, he sighed and said, "I'll just come and see you."

Seeing her worried look, Yu Wan smiled meaningfully, "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after I retreat."

"Um."

Chu Yan's right hand holding the sword loosened and stood silently behind Yu Wan.

The melee under the city continued. As the two sides fought together, the East Army's musket team could no longer play a big role.

However, Huang Degong knew very well that Yu Wan was at the end of his strength, and the city gate was open there, and as long as he tried another move, An Qing would be at his fingertips!

"I will kill you all, and those who retreat will be killed immediately!"

Huang Degong killed two deserters and personally led the army to rush forward.

Seeing that the commander was using his life like this, the lowly soldiers were embarrassed to be afraid of the enemy. They all followed Huang Degong to fight against the enemy and quickly broke through the cutting line of Longwei Camp and rushed to the long snake formation arranged by Jiang Ning again.

Although this formation is extremely exquisite and the Tiger and Leopard Camp cooperates very properly, the strength of the two sides is very different. After several sprints, Jiang Ning and his men have been overdrawn and gradually can't hold on.

"Yu Wan, General Qin and General Jiang can't hold on anymore." Chu Yan said nervously.

Although the outcome of this battle has nothing to do with her, and what Guo Shangshu even hopes for is An Qing's fall, deep down, she doesn't want to see Yu Wan being defeated.

"Don't worry, they will withdraw soon."

Yu Wan rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, yawned a long time, and looked intently at the direction to the south.

Just as Yu Wan finished speaking, a cavalry rushed over and found Huang Degong who was fighting hard.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, the latter left only three thousand soldiers here, and actually led the main army to look south!

Originally, the Ximen was in danger. He could break through the city with just one more attack. Huang Degong actually made such a strange move, and even Chu Yan was confused.

"They... actually retreated?!"

"Is it strange?"

Yu Wan stood up with a smile, and said in a very plain tone, "I asked Zhao Xunchang to escort Zuo Liangyu to break through the south gate. Zuo Shangshu is the Grand Marshal of our dynasty. It is a great contribution to capturing him alive. With such a bait, how could Huang Degong not be moved?"

What a powerful figure Zuo Liangyu is, even Emperor Chongzhen has to give him three points, but such an arrogant person is willing to take the risk of being Yu Wan's bait. How could Chu Yan not be secretly surprised?

"But capturing Anqing is also a great achievement. How could you be sure that Huang Degong would not let Zuo Liangyu escape and insist on leading his troops to attack Ximen?"

"I didn't see it, you thought it comprehensively."

Yu Wan glanced at Chu Yan with approval, "Huang Degong has paid a heavy price. Even if he seizes Anqing, he will not be able to do anything. Just because these defeated generals cannot defend the city at all, it is better to retreat and capture Zuo Liangyu alive and swallow the credit of this mouth first.

Actually, I was just a gamble, but fortunately, I won this. Don’t think too simply about Zuo Liangyu. He is willing to be a bait, and he is just thinking about himself. Anqing City is broken, and he is the first one who is unlucky."

"You are such a lunatic..."

"Zuo Liangyu will follow my instructions and lead Huang Degong's army into the ambush circle. Not only are there various mechanisms there, but the 10,000 troops led by Brother Xie Liang are also coming soon. Therefore, the outcome of this battle can be said to be decided. Now, it's time to talk about you."

"My business..."

Chu Yan shook his right hand again, and a whimpering sound came from the sword body, "My lord has written me, I want me to kill you!"
