"Look, what are those people pushing?"

Many people in the city and the generals of the Xixia Army discovered the artillery being pushed forward, and many of them were curious about this novel thing.

"Do you think this thing is used to hit the city gate?" Another person expressed confusion.

"Impossible. Such a short and small thing can break open the city gate even if it doesn't move and allows the tower to hit it?"

"However, Qian Jun did not prepare any siege equipment. I am sure this must be a siege equipment, but it just looks a bit small."

Some of them pointed out very firmly that the cannon moving forward under the cover of the shield was the Qianjun siege machine. However, as soon as this statement was made, everyone unanimously refuted it.

"Tch!" Everyone responded disdainfully.

"What are you doing here? Just shoot an arrow at that position." Guardsman Li Xiankai shouted loudly.

Only then did everyone hear the guard's roar, and immediately stopped the discussion.

Under the cover of the shield hand, the gunner slowly moved forward step by step...

Even if the Xixia army defender wanted to stop the gunners from advancing, he failed to stop them by relying solely on bows and arrows.

Because Qian's army was suppressed by crossbows and covered by shield bearers, the gunners were able to advance slowly.

"Give me a pot to heat up oil." Li Xiankai looked at the gunner who was getting closer and ordered again.

He knew that if things continued like this, the group of gunners would eventually reach the city.

So they decisively ordered someone to set up an oil pan. This was also so that when the gunners arrived at the city, they could pour oil directly on the gunners, so that they would not dare to get close.

If it were the same siege team as before, setting up pots and burning oil would be a good way to defend the city.

It's a pity that the enemy thought wrong this time, because Qian's army had no intention of reaching the city.

"Look, the group of people stopped, they stopped." Someone found that the gunner of the Ganjun army stopped four or five miles away from the city gate.

"Centurion, this distance is not enough." Su Wuqiang, the gunner of the Ganjun Army, measured the distance and shouted loudly towards the officer who shouted to stop.

The officer frowned. They were about to cross the moat if they went forward. If the enemy ordered the cavalry to charge into the city at this time, then they gunners would definitely not be able to escape, but their shooting range was not enough.

"What should I do? What should I do?" The officer's heart was pounding and he couldn't make a choice.

"Centurion, come on, the city gate is right in front of you."

"Centurion..."

"Huang Longquan, can we fight? If we can't fight, we are moving forward. We are at the front to protect you." The shield-bearer officer asked loudly.

"Okay, keep moving forward!" The gunner officer finally made up his mind and kept moving forward.

"No, General, the enemy has started to move again. They are about to cross the river..."

Qian's army continued to advance, but the Xixia army on the city was anxious. They were almost certain that what these people were pushing were siege equipment. Only in this way would the siege suicide squad move forward and approach the city gate.

"Come on, come on, we have been waiting for a long time." Li Xiankai's eyes were burning, staring at the direction of the gunner's advance. He had already made preparations. As long as he moved forward, the stones and rolling oil would disappear. Throw it down without hesitation, and they will never come back when the time comes.

When Li Xiankai thought of the moment when the enemy troops were doused with boiling oil and fled desperately, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.

"Come on, come on, with all these people, I want you to know what death is..."

Why was Li Xiankai so confident? Because there were only five to six hundred shield bearers and gunners in the Qian army, and they had enough oil to pour on the enemy.

Thinking of the tragic situation they encountered when they attacked the city, Li Xiankai's eyes flashed with excitement.

But before I had time to enjoy this excitement, I heard someone say, "Strange, why did the enemy stop again?"

Li Xiankai immediately looked down and found Ganjun who had stopped.

However, he didn't care whether these people were walking around or not, and quickly ordered, "Everyone is ready."

"As long as the enemy enters the attack range, throw them all down. They must not be allowed to get close to the city gate."

"Did you hear that?"

"As you command!"

...

"stop!"

Qianjun gunner officer Huang Longquan looked at the distance, and when he found that the distance was enough, he immediately raised his hand and shouted to stop.

"Everyone prepare!" The moment the artillery carriage stopped, without the slightest hesitation, Huang Longquan ordered everyone to prepare again.

At this moment, not only the gunner was nervous, but also the shield hand.

This is their first actual combat, and no one knows how the result will be. Whether they can break through the city gate in one fell swoop depends entirely on them.

"Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!" Huang Longquan muttered silently in his heart.

As long as the city gate is blown open, their gunners will become famous and achieve success...

"Brothers, let me go."

The shield bearer stood in front to provide protection for the gunner. When the gunner turned the direction of the gun carriage and aimed at the city gate, the shield bearer withdrew. The shields were arranged flatly, with every other shield revealing a gun carriage muzzle, and there were also shields overhead. , providing tight protection for the gunners. However, this tight protection will inevitably cause a certain amount of crowding, making everyone have to be careful, and every step is so slow but so orderly.

"Brothers, let me go!" Following Huang Longquan's command, fifteen sports cars ignited at the same time, igniting the fuses under the enemy's gaze, but the enemy did not notice at all.

It's not that they didn't notice the abnormality, it's that they didn't understand the military at all and what they were doing when they suddenly stopped for a while.

Even though they thought Gan Jun was acting strangely, no one knew what Gan Jun was doing. Not knowing why, they could only open their eyes wide and watch everything happen.

"What are they doing?"

No one knew what he was doing, not even Li Xiankai.

Just when the fuses of the artillery carts burned out, accompanied by loud roars, each artillery cart fired a cannonball, flying straight towards the city gate it was aiming at. The continuous loud noises made all the Xixia troops in the city They were all stunned, not knowing where the loud noise came from.

"Is this thunder?" Li Xiankai murmured to himself and glanced upward inadvertently. There was no sign of thunder.

When he looked down with confusion, he suddenly heard a loud noise similar to thunder. At this time, he also heard the cry of the soldiers guarding the city gate, "There is an enemy attack, come quickly, someone is attacking the city. Someone come quickly..."

The soldiers guarding the city gate made a tearing sound, because the city gate had been blasted with a hole, and it was about to collapse. What if he could do it? The thought of death was getting closer and closer...

Li Xiankai reacted and immediately roared and ordered, "Li Xiande, hurry up, get down here and guard the city gate."

"Brothers, rush with me!"

When the gunner fired the third cannon, Luo Zhishang led 3,000 cavalry to rush towards the city gate. At the same time, soldiers continued to approach.

The city gate is lost and is close at hand.

"Hold on, hold on, even if you die, you will die in the alley. You can't take a step back. Anyone who steps back will be killed without mercy!"

Li Xiankai had already jumped down from the city and kept ordering the soldiers to attack anyone who didn't obey. He would chop with his sword...

Now that the city gate is open, let the soldiers hold it and use human flesh as the gate to block the Qian army's attack.

No matter what, even if I die, I will die in an alley.

This was Li Xiankai's only idea, and as far as the current situation was concerned, this method was the only one that worked. If they took a step back, they would be defeated like a mountain and completely reduced to being slaughtered by others.

Ling Yun stared ahead. The moment the city was torn apart, he finally let go of his hanging heart. As soon as the city was broken, it meant that Xingyuan Mansion had been captured, and the next step was the battle to enter the city.

On the other side of Nanping, Tuoba Lu waited left and right, but never got a reply from Yang Qianshan, and the people he sent out also didn't respond.

He began to realize that something was wrong, so he secretly retracted his troops. Just when he was hesitating whether to retreat, loud noises came from the direction of Xingyuan Mansion, and this was finally confirmed.

"Send the order and gather the army." Tuoba Lu began to prepare to withdraw his troops. At this time, he was almost certain that something had happened to Xingyuan Mansion. He must withdraw his troops and return reinforcements as soon as possible.

"General, would it be possible to retreat at this time..."

"Withdraw the troops!" Tuoba Lu did not listen to the opinions of his men and ordered the withdrawal very decisively.

After hesitating for a moment, his men had no choice but to bite the bullet and order a retreat.

But Tuoba Lu still miscalculated. When a loud noise came from the direction of Xingyuan Mansion, Guo Yixiu knew that he had to exert force.

Not only Guo Yixiu, but everyone else also knew that Ling Yun was attacking Xingyuan Mansion, so they attacked particularly fiercely, trying to hold back the enemy's army no matter what.

Tuoba Lu had decided to retreat, even if he suffered heavy losses, he would still choose to retreat. However, because Qianjun did not have enough troops to form an encirclement against the Xixia Army, he could only kill a few more people when the Xixia Army retreated, and it was impossible to pursue them. She, kept insisting on killing...especially Yang Sanniu, at this moment he was like a killing machine.

Shi Tianzong suddenly pointed to the retreat direction of the Xixia Army, "Everyone, please get over to me, we can't let the enemy retreat..."

The original text comes from Yuta&Read Novel~&

He wanted to do a big thing, which was to lead the cavalry to block the retreat of the Xixia Army. However, there were less than 4,000 soldiers left around him at this time. If this continues, there would be heavy casualties, but in order to hold back the Xixia Army, even if I have to go there even if I die...

The only way to retain the Xixia army is to use the lives of the cavalry to prevent the enemy from retreating. There is no other way.

Only by delaying Tuobalu's army to return for reinforcements can Lingyun in front be given more time to attack the city. Otherwise, once Tuobalu's army is allowed to withdraw to Xingyuan Mansion, the outcome of both sides will be uncertain.

"Order, don't let Shi Tianzong block the attack." Guo Yixiu noticed Shi Tianzong's thoughts and quickly ordered.

There is still an ambush on the way back to Xingyuan Mansion from Nanping. There is no need to fight with the enemy at this time, otherwise the casualties will be too great.

At this time, Shi Tianzong discovered the military order, which told him to stop moving forward. He was confused for a moment and looked in the direction of Guo Yixiu with some confusion.

After careful consideration, he still obeyed the general's order.

So he changed his approach and divided the retreating Xixia army into formations, leaving the enemy in disarray and unable to take care of themselves. Yang Sanniu led the army to harvest. The two cooperated with each other and defeated the retreating enemy in a short time.
