Under the city of Hongnong County, a mighty siege battle slowly began.

ladder, climbing building

The siege machine that was originally going to stage a siege in Mianchi is now slowly moving towards Hongnong County.

And this is not the worst for Qi Wannian's army.

The worst thing is that Qi Wannian doesn't know how to defend the city.

For an army of foreigners like him, you may say that they can fight well and attack the city, but it is difficult for them to defend the city.

They don't even know how to arrange a defense.

Preparations for defending the city

Almost never.

Qi Wannian couldn't find any other way to defend except hanging up the battle-free card and collecting rolling logs from the treasury.

Fortunately, he also found a large amount of kerosene in the treasury. When he attacked the county, this kerosene left some shadows in his heart.

The smell of human flesh is something that I would never want to smell a second time.

On the city wall, Hao Duyuan, who returned late at night, did not even have time to rest before he began to direct the defense of the city.

The four towers came slowly, and the swarm of arrows on the city wall could not hurt the people behind them at all. Instead, the enemy archers hiding behind the towers caused a lot of losses to them on the wall.

And in this short period of time, Chonglou got closer to the city wall.

It is only a hundred meters away from the city gate.

And this distance is being reduced bit by bit.

If this was a Han people defending the city, the road here must be full of potholes, which would not allow Chonglou to approach the city gate so easily. At the worst, there would be traps such as blocking horses.

but

Qi Wannian really doesn't know how to defend the city.

Since ancient times, nomadic people have not been good at defending cities.

Conquering the world is what they are good at, but defending the world is not what they are good at.

Finally, when rushing to the tower to have close contact with the city gate, the ladder hidden behind the rushing tower was also pushed out and set up on the city wall.

One by one, the soldiers climbed up and headed towards the city wall.

On top of the tower, someone also set up a ladder to connect the tower with the city wall.

Arrows flew upstairs, and the soldiers who were ready to go climbed up the ladder one by one.

The hand-to-hand war really started at this moment.

In the county town, the thick smoke rising from the fierce battle filled the entire city.

The uniform flag fluttering in the wind was already in tatters and seemed about to fall down in an instant.

On top of the city tower, there were dead bodies lying on the ground, bleeding continuously, but no one stepped forward to clean them up. The thick smell of blood and sweat mixed with each other filled the air, making it pungent and unpleasant.

The war still continues.

The loud screams and screams are heart-moving.

Below the city, the muscular figures of Meng Guan's Han soldiers undulated like waves, and from their mouths, they let out shouts that shook the heaven and earth.

This kind of shouting contagious and inspired each other, which eliminated many inexplicable fears in the heart.

Arrows flew wildly in the air, and the long-drawn arrow rain pierced the clear sky like locusts passing through. I saw soldiers falling to the ground after being struck by arrows.

As soon as the Han soldiers climbed onto the city wall, they were immediately swarmed by several Huns and faced them with swords. They were outnumbered and outnumbered.

"Here, get out of here!"

"Ahhhhh"

The shrill screams, crazy killings, and blazing beacon fires made the soldiers of both armies even more angry, and the war became more and more intense.

The setting sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured onto the tower.

It was also sprinkled on the face of Meng Guan, who was not far from the county town.

The expression on his face was somewhat serious.

Originally, he thought that after the previous defeat, Qi Wannian's army no longer had the courage to hold a sword.

But the development of the situation far exceeded Meng Guan's imagination.

These foreigners who were not good at defending the city not only defended the city, but also made it impossible for him to attack for a while.

The casualties of this soldier already made his brows jump.

certainly

Correspondingly, the losses on the other side were equally heavy.

To put it bluntly, Qi Wannian used his life to defend the city, while Meng Guan also used his life to attack the city.

Everyone is gambling with their lives.

In addition to gambling for his life, Meng Guan also has to race against time.

He had a hunch that if he couldn't capture Qi Wannian within two days, he would lose the chance to make his first victory.

In fact

At this time, he still underestimated Wang Sheng's vigilance towards him.

Outside Mianchi City, a dusty army galloped over.

The leader was a very young-looking general.

After his military service, Wang Sheng, who was originally fair-skinned and childish, and looked very bookish, now had a bronze color on his face, and his face was red. After traveling for a long time, the cold wind blew, and a layer of dead skin appeared on his face.

When they arrived at Mianchi, Wang Sheng realized that Meng Guan had already set off this morning.

After understanding the situation locally and the corpses of Qi Wannian's army that had not been completely disposed of, Wang Sheng also had some understanding of Meng Guan's cruelty.

Time is really tight!

Without any hesitation and just a short rest, Wang Sheng set off again with five thousand cavalry.

The attack on Hongnong County continued for another hour.

But as time went on, the already very tired army's offensive momentum and enthusiasm became increasingly sluggish.

Even Meng Guan knew in his heart that it would be very difficult to capture Hongnong County today, and now it had become even more impossible.

"Mingjin withdraws the troops."

No matter how reluctant he was, Meng Guan also knew that if he continued like this, it would only increase casualties.

With the sound of gold ringing, the already extremely tired soldiers retreated like a tide, leaving a mess on the ground.

Even things like rushing down the building can only be left to Qi Wannian.

tomorrow.

Tomorrow we must capture the county and Qi Wannian's head.

He already has no time.

Arriving at the military tent, Meng Guan briefly arranged tactics.

After the tactical arrangements were completed, just as Meng Guan was preparing to take a rest, there were loud noises outside the military tent.

The earth is trembling.

cavalry.

A large number of cavalry are approaching.

Qi Wannian?

Stealing camp?

Meng Guan was confused, but if he was stealing the camp, why did he make such a big move?

After leaving the military tent, under the cover of night, I couldn't see clearly what was on the other side.

But then the dim light from the opponent's torch made Meng Guan underestimate the opponent's flag.

king!

This is the flag of Marquis Guangyuan.

Marquis Guangyuan has arrived?!

Meng Guan couldn't believe it.

In front of the camp that was built in one day, Wang Sheng jumped off his tall horse. After relieving himself from the turbidity of the journey, Wang Sheng's words came out.

"General Jinu, General Zhenglu saw that the battle on the front line was tense, and was afraid that the general could not cope with it alone, so he asked me to come with five thousand cavalry to assist the general."

In front of the tent door, Meng Guan's face was gloomy. In the dark night, his face looked even more gloomy.

"Marquis Guangyuan, your nose is really sharp."

Meng Guan almost gritted his teeth when he said this.

When Wang Sheng arrived here, even if Meng Guan defeated Qi Wannian, the credit was not his alone.

Well said, Xiangzhu.

In fact, they are just here to grab the credit.

If it had been anyone else, Meng Guan would have had an attack long ago.

But the person in front of him was Marquis Guangyuan.

The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.

Even though he was sulking, Meng Guan had no choice but to swallow it in his stomach.
Chapter completed!
