The drums and horns were connected to the sky and the flags covered the sun. Amid the majestic shouts of the Dingxi Army, another round of impact on Xunyang City began.

This is the fourth day of the Dingxi Army's attack on the main city of the Long Family. Compared with the previous three days, Xiao Ding invested more military strength this time, and launched a fierce attack on the city wall from three sides at the same time. His military power was several times that of the previous ones.

The defenders on the city were already timid at this moment. No matter the general or the soldiers, they had no intention of defending the city walls. Although they still shot waves of arrows down under the urging of some generals in the battle, they could not threaten the Dingxi Army's vanguard troops, which had already been covered by shields and were constantly advancing.

With the sound of tickling arrows hitting the shield, the Dingxi Army had arrived at the city and quickly passed through the moat that had been filled, setting up ladders, and launched the most fierce uprising attack on the defenders on the city.

Moreover, this time the upward attack was not against a city wall, but also allowed the defenders in the city to draw elite troops to deal with it. This time, the Dingxi Army attacked together on three sides, which was a complete absolute advantage in combat, making the defenders in the city even more difficult. In another panic resistance, soldiers and generals in the Ximen area were able to climb to the top of the city.

"Beat the drum again! Let my vanguard army throw all its troops to the west gate. I will see the flag of my Dingxi Army on the city wall within an hour!" Xiao Ding, who was on the battlefield, could no longer see the elegant and easy-goingness of the past. At this time, his face was as iron as an arrow, and his voice was like a long sword out of the sheath. Once the order was released, the soldiers around him could only act on orders. After responding loudly, they waved the flag decisively and mobilized the troops to act according to the commander's wishes.

So the offensive on the Ximen side became more and more fierce, and thousands of elite Dingxi troops were running forward quickly. Under the cover of crossbowmen in the rear, they quickly rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and stepped on the ladder that had already been built, climbing towards the city wall like a monkey.

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish..." The arrow shot down from above like raindrops.

"Boom..." Dozens of millstones the size of a millstone were also pushed and thrown down by the defenders with all their might.

"Waolala..." There are also tinea oil, gold juice and other powerful weapons to defend the city, and at this moment, they splashed at these enemies who were constantly forcing them as if they were not worth money.

The defenders clearly felt the pressure, and at this time they didn't care about the weapons left by the city. They just used them all, just to repel the most fierce attacks. But what about this Dingxi Army vanguard?

When they faced such a intensive attack, they did not even retreat or hesitate at all. They quickly set up small shields on their heads, and then they did not avoid their bodies and kept rushing towards the top quickly.

Some people were shot and fell down, some were poured by golden juice and harsh oil and screamed and fell into the city. But behind them, more soldiers were red eyes and gritting their teeth, still as flexible as monkeys, and rushed upwards like evil wolfs, swearing to use the casualties and injuries of these many people to set off a smooth road that went straight to the city.

Li Ling, who was in the central army and looked at the war ahead with Xiao Ding, was heartbroken. To be honest, this was the first time he had actually watched the siege battle on the spot. Such a tragic scene was really beyond his expectations. It was impossible to present it in many film and television dramas in later generations, no matter how many extras were invested in or using special effects.

Those soldiers who were originally alive and brave actually fell down a ladder in the blink of an eye and turned into pieces of unrestrained flesh and blood. One by one, strange or familiar life, disappeared completely. This impact was something that Li Ling, a time traveler, could not accept for a while.

So at this time, he was afraid to take a closer look. He lowered his head, listened to the constant sound of killing in front of him, and hoped that the war would end as soon as possible.

"Why, I can't bear to see it?" Xiao Ding could still pay attention to Li Ling's reaction at this time and asked with a smile.

"This siege is indeed cruel. In fact, we can use a more gentle method to break the city." Li Ling whispered, but he was afraid that the morale of the army would be affected by other soldiers after hearing it.

Xiao Ding waved his head disapprovingly: "No, it is impossible to quell the southwest rebellion as soon as possible. Only when our Dingxi Army shows enough strength can we shock the enemy..."

"But they can still hold on." Li Ling looked up again and saw the defenders at the city wall still struggling for the final struggle. Arrows and other weapons were more intense and fierce than before, and more soldiers were captured. Fortunately, the gap was constantly opening, and several teams had already attacked the city wall and began to expand to both sides, intending to connect them.

As long as these Dingxi troops in the upper city can connect with each other and form a group, they will completely establish a foothold on the top of the city, and it will be natural for them to seize the Western City as soon as the follow-up troops are on the way. Li Ling, who understands this, is even more energetic and clench his fists: "A chance, don't miss it."

"I am not referring to the defenders, but other enemies in Qianzhou. Maybe they are still secretly watching this battle not far away. Once our siege fails and becomes a tug-of-war, they may give us a lot of trouble from the side and rear, causing this battle to calm the chaos to fall into a quagmire." Xiao Ding's eyes were locked on the west city, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter as the war continued to change.

Only then did Li Ling realize that this battle was against the Long family on the surface, but in fact, their enemies also had many barbarians from Qianzhou. Although they had defeated tens of thousands of barbarians earlier, the number of barbarians in various places was several times higher, and they might not have really given up.

Moreover, there are more than Qianzhou and southern Yunnan. Although the Duan Gao family absolutely supports the Dingxi Army to pacify Guizhou, once they are frustrated here, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take any damage. Therefore, only by achieving a big victory here and winning in a short period of time can we suppress all potential enemies and completely quell this chaos.

Li Ling sighed sincerely: "The Marquis's vision is still long-term, and the officials really admire it. Those barbarians are indeed afraid of power but do not have virtue. They must be able to attack and kill absolutely strongly to suppress them!"

Xiao Ding smiled and said seriously: "In fact, it's not just the barbarians. What I'm worried about is the sluts outside the two southwestern provinces."

"Hmm?" Li Ling was stunned again, but he soon reacted, "Do you mean Luo Tian Sect?"

"Yes, I have checked it carefully. So far, the number of Luotian Sect invested only two or three hundred people in the southwest provinces of our country is still only two or three hundred, which is far from their strength. So I am worried that they have other plans, maybe they are waiting for the chaos in the southwest, and then leading the imperial army and horses to come over, and then causing trouble in the Central Plains after finding a gap."

"So that's it, so we must fight quickly, even if we will pay a heavy price for it!" Li Ling thoroughly understood the other party's good intentions this time, and when he looked at Xiao Ding, he had more respect in his eyes.

Xiao Ding did not say much to him anymore, but shouted loudly: "Blow the trumpet, the whole army will attack the two southeastern city walls. I want them to be difficult to take care of the beginning and end and completely lose!"

"Woooooooooooooo--" The vigorous trumpet sounded again, inspiring the fighting spirit and determination of the soldiers. At this moment, even the generals who were still urging behind rushed forward, shouting: "Brothers, victory is ahead, it is the right time to make achievements, kill!"

With the inspiration of these generals leading the way, ordinary soldiers were like horses with a spurt, no longer retaining any strength. They howled regardless of their own safety and life and death, and rushed forward hard, and then continued to move up along the long ladder.

The fierce attack and killing for most of the day and the continuous climbing of the city finally collapsed the morale of the defenders on the city.

First, the Dingxi Army finally allowed the area to occupy. Then as the army came to the city, the scope of occupation continued to expand, and some soldiers began to fight down below, and they were trying to seize control of the city gate.

Then, there was the South Gate. The defenders here were obviously not as powerful as others. After being attacked by the Dingxi Army for a while, they finally couldn't stand it. They were killed in a short time and directly retreated from the city wall.

In this way, the Dingxi Army here was able to climb up to the city more smoothly, and then go down quickly, and it actually occupied the city gate faster than the Ximen.

With a loud creaking, the South Gate of Xunyang, which had been closed for many days, was opened from the inside, which also means that the main city of the Long Family has fallen.

At the moment when the city gate opened, everyone stopped. No matter whether they were enemies or enemies, they turned to look at the south gate at that moment, and then the expressions of both sides went to two extremes.

The excited Dingxi Army shouted, holding its weapons high, and rushing towards the city gate with all its might. However, the defenders in the city were as if they were lost and were unable to continue fighting hard. Some turned around and ran away, some stood there on the spot, and some left their weapons directly when they saw an enemy leaning forward, and they knelt down on the ground. They had collapsed with the fall of the city gate and had no intention of fighting again.

The morale of both sides increased and weakened. The soldiers of Dingxi Army attacked and killed each other like tigers. Then the West Gate and the South Gate fell and opened one by one. The entire city was no longer possible to resist the Dingxi Army's capture. Just like a beauty stripped of her clothes, the defense line was lost!

"Kill!" With another burst of shouts, the Dingxi Army rushed into the three gates at the same time and rushed straight into the wide street. Wherever they went, there were the Long family soldiers kneeling on the ground and begging for surrender, and the people in the city who were panicking to the extreme.

However, the Dingxi Army, with strict military discipline, did not burn, kill, loot, but divided some people to gather and guard the prisoners. The others continued to move forward and rushed straight to the north of the city. The place near the cliff was the most important place of this city, Longjiabao!

At the end of Longjiabao, Long Tianxiang and his confidants looked at the countless military horses that came along the way with a look of earth. Xunyang City was unable to defend it, and it was still under the Dingxi Army's military front.
Chapter completed!
