Chapter 62: The Sound of the South Strikes the North

At the beginning, the soldiers of Beihan took the initiative to seize the city in one fell swoop. Five thousand infantrymen were scattered near the entire Dongchengmen Gate, and concentrated multiple locations to start siege the city at the same time.

On the city wall, the soldiers of Houzhou were arrows falling like rain, stones flew down, and the oil pan was boiling hot, blocking them with great tension; and under the city wall, the soldiers of Beihan were low and shielded, dodging the attack above, and pushing forward. At the same time, neither soldier on both sides did not shout, but just kept his head shutting down and attacking and defending. Soon, more than a dozen long ladders were all erected and mounted on the city wall, and dozens of strong warriors rushed up the ladder. The city wall, which was only six meters high, could be climbed in just a few breaths.

In this way, the soldiers guarding the city near the East City Gate seemed a little stretched.

In addition to the 2,500 soldiers hidden in the city, 500 soldiers were left on the south, north and west sides of Jinzhou City to defend the city. Now there are only 1,500 soldiers guarding the six-mile-long East City Wall. In addition, some soldiers were divided into groups to guard the people in the urn city. The disadvantage of insufficient manpower was soon revealed. Two consecutive places were rushed to the city wall by the Northern Han soldiers. Following these two gaps, more Northern Han soldiers shouted and rushed to the city wall.

Before Wang Yan could order, the Northern Zhou commander, who was responsible for defending the various sections of the city walls, directly called away the Northern Zhou soldiers who were originally guarding the inner city and faced the surging Northern Han soldiers outside the city.

Perhaps due to the siege and shouting to kill the city, the people in the urn city became even more panicked and desperately crowded towards the main city gate. They subconsciously wanted to be farther away from the urn city wall, as if it would be safer.

In the crowd, some elderly people who were originally hunched over slowly straightened their bodies, slowly pulled some bag-like items from the waists of some women, children, and behind their backs. They calmly concentrated towards the south side of the main city gate, stacked the bags at the base of the city wall, and then started collecting bags again.

At this time, more and more soldiers from Beihan rushed to the wall and fought fiercely with the soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty. All the defensive soldiers were trying hard to encircle and suppress these people who climbed to the city. No one could care about the people who were terrified and screaming in the city, and they were completely unaware of the crisis that was brewing in the city.

Outside the archway in the city, Lin Feng and the Northern Han recruit Liu Chengjun stood together, paying attention to the development of the siege situation.

Liu Chengjun pointed at the soldiers on the top of the city with a horse whip and said excitedly: "My Northern Han warriors are indeed brave. Six groups of soldiers have already attacked the city one after another! This Jinzhou City is not as difficult as imagined!"

Lin Feng shook his head solemnly and reminded him: "We have been secretly observing Jinzhou City many times in the past few days, and always feel that such a relaxed defense is problematic! Wang Yan will definitely not be so arrogant and underestimated by the enemy for half his life. Yilin's opinion, Wang Yan must have a backup plan!"

"Backhand? It's impossible. I've already spread the scouts fifty miles around as you told me, but I haven't seen any reward. There should be no ambush outside the city!" Liu Chengjun was stunned and asked back.

"There is no outside the city, where is the inside?" Lin Feng pointed to the top of the city and retorted with concern, then pushed Liu Chengjun, who was a little stunned, and said loudly: "I urgently order the siege car to attack the corner between the urn and the main city wall with all his strength!"

Liu Chengjun immediately passed the order out, and all the eighty imperial guards ran towards the siege car ahead with giant shields that were tall by one person.

Success or failure is here! Liu Chengjun couldn't help but clenched his fists and stared at the corners of the two city walls.

At this time, the elite Northern Han soldiers who had sneaked into the city had already piled up a narrow slope of more than half a person with small bags. Seeing that they could no longer cover themselves with their bodies, dozens of soldiers shouted together, pushed away the people around them, ran up the slope, and quickly set up a ladder.

"Go!" The selected elite Northern Han no longer concealed their bodies. They pulled out the weapons hidden on their bodies, waved and forced the people around them to retreat, and rushed towards the city wall along the slope and the ladder. The one running in front was one of the two heads named Wei Kesheng who followed Lin Feng in advance.

At this moment, a soldier from Houzhou who turned around to move stones in the urn city accidentally raised his head and found this abnormality. He immediately threw down the stone, pointed to the ladder and shouted: "There are enemies in the urn city!"

At this time, the city was noisy and chaotic. Few people heard his shouts. The soldier became anxious. He turned around and pulled a few soldiers beside him who were running away with his head down, pulled them to the inside of the urn, pointed at the ladder and shouted. The soldiers were shocked to see this scene and exclaimed in unison.

At this time, Wei Kesheng had already turned over and rushed to the main city wall with an elite army. Wei Kesheng leaned against the stool and began to chop and kill the passing Houzhou soldiers. The elite quickly tied two ropes to the stool and threw them down. Soldiers immediately climbed up the rope below.

More and more soldiers of Hou Zhou pointed at the ladder and shouted, and the shouting finally attracted the attention of the city tower. One of Wang Yan's personal followers approached this side. He was the first to hear this sound and immediately ran over and pointed it to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was not panicked, and he squinted his eyes and observed for two seconds. He ordered a guard leader to lead twenty people to follow him to kill the enemy, and then turned his attention to the outside of the urn. In Wang Yan's opinion, if the tens of thousands of people were not hidden, it would be doubtful. He dared to let the people enter the city, and he also saw that there were not many young and middle-aged people hidden there, and he could not cause much storm.

At this time, the soldiers of Northern Zhou from the left and right near the ladder had gathered around, either rushing towards Wei Kesheng and others, or starting to shoot arrows at the soldiers who were on the ladder and the soldiers on the rope. However, even if the soldiers who were on the ladder were caught, they gritted their teeth and held on to the wall. The soldiers who were close to the city wall even inserted their swords into the cracks of the bricks of the city wall and hugged the blade tightly. Even if the people on the rope were caught, the soldiers who followed the ladder were not timid at all, and the soldiers who followed the ladder accelerated again and rushed towards the city wall like crazy.

Twenty-one followers rushed down the city tower. The leader of the guard led the way, pushed away the surrounding soldiers, and rushed towards a Beihan soldier dressed in the costumes of the people. During the march, he flashed left and right, shaking the Beihan soldier without the center of gravity and stabbed the soldier into the lower body with one knife. The soldier opened his mouth and shouted wildly, but smiled strangely on his face. Just when the guard leader was a little confused, the extremely injured soldier grabbed the knife with blood in his stomach with his left hand, and stabbed his knife into the belly of the guard leader with the other hand.

This is a group of dead soldiers! The guard leader's belly was in pain. When such a thought arose in his mind, his whole body was pushed back by the desperate soldier, and directly hit the two people who followed him, immediately blocking the attacking team.

The guard leader endured the pain and kicked the already dead Beihan soldier away, covered the wound on his waist, looked up and found that in just a moment, at least several of his followers had been stabbed to the ground by their opponents. And behind the storm, Beihan soldiers were still constantly flipping up.

"Call the police, call the police to Lord Wang!" the guard leader shouted with a roar.

Hearing the call from the police, Wang Yan on the city tower turned his head again, and only then did he find out the strangeness of the raid team. He immediately frowned and sent twenty followers to attack here again, and ordered the soldiers to wave the military flags and gather at the ladder, beating the drum to signal the soldiers to speed up the attack.

For a time, the south side of the main city wall tower became the center of attention for all the soldiers in the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the place where the battle was the most intense.

Just as everyone's attention was attracted, Lin Renzhao, Chen Desheng and others, who had been hiding their bodies, stood up straight at the corner of the main city wall on the north side of the city wall, waved their hands to remove the female decorations on their bodies, freed up a certain amount of space, turned the rope with the ropes that had been tied in their hands twice, and threw them upwards.

The rope flew out quietly and was accurately placed on the stool. Lin Renzhao pulled it hard twice, then went up the geopolitical rope like a monkey, and jumped up the city wall in a few seconds. On the other side, Chen Desheng also climbed up smoothly. The two of them threw the rope off at the same time. Several masters from the Guiguan area continued to climb up. Ge Chang, Zhang Bin, Qin Hansheng, Rao Xingyu and other special soldiers also followed one after another, quickly forming a small battle formation on the city wall.

Qin Hansheng, who was standing in the middle of the small battle formation, took out a small bow and arrow from under his clothes and shot a sound arrow into the sky.

A sharp whistle sounded, attracting the eyes of the city walls.

Lin Feng, who had been observing this place, immediately jumped onto the horse when he saw the arrow rising, and swung his sword and shouted: "Brothers, we have successfully seized the city! All attacks!"

Wang Yan on the city tower heard the arrow and immediately changed color and roared and ordered repeatedly:

"Kill those people for me!"

"Change all soldiers to the city tower to kill the enemy!"
