Chapter 623 1 is on the verge of collapse
Lü He never uttered a word, his eyes revealing deep worry. He didn't care about success or fame. He had fought in the battlefields and now he was the general of Ningchuan State. He just wanted to spend his old age in peace.
He always felt that this battle was not that simple.
The dispatch of troops by Ningchuan State was indeed a surprise attack. There was a country between the two countries, and there was no dispute between them on weekdays. Not to mention the people of Daqian, even he, a great general, knew nothing the day before the troops were dispatched.
But in Qingzhou County, there is Lin Xiaofan who is in the top ten of the God General List. Those who can be in the top ten of the God General List are almost all fierce generals and war gods from various major countries. Lin Xiaofan is only seventeen years old, and he can be ranked on it after fighting three battles.
He did not look down on him because of his young age, but rather felt that he was difficult to deal with. After all, he was only seventeen years old, and in just over a year, he had reached the heights that the gods of war of the great powers would have spent their entire lives fighting for.
Does this kind of person really have no backup plan at all?
He had been thinking about this problem day and night these days. Looking at the tall city wall, he became more and more panicked, and even wanted to order the entire army to retreat.
But now is indeed the best opportunity. If we don’t send troops this time, future opportunities will only become increasingly slim.
If the emperor does not send troops, it will be even more unreasonable.
In this case, we can only hope that God will give him a helping hand.
"Dad, don't worry. Lin Xiaofan is not a god. How can he predict everything?"
Lu Jin saw Lu He's worry and patted his arm.
"Too."
Lu He smiled slightly, looking absent-minded.
"kill!"
On the edge of the city wall, ladders were set up on the towers, and siege vehicles were violently ramming the city gates.
The Ningchuan Army, which was in the lead, was determined to die, but they did not encounter many obstacles along the way.
Doubts flashed through their minds. Could it be that the Qingzhou army was really exhausted after many days as the general said?
They climbed up all the way, and when they were halfway up, they looked up and saw several soldiers coming up with rolling logs and stones.
Didn’t you say it’s gone?
Before they could think about it, the huge rocks hit their shields and knocked them to the ground. Even if they were not killed, they could not stand up again.
"kill!"
Deafening shouts and cries of killing rang out from the city walls, and at one moment, everyone realized that something was wrong.
Barrels of oil poured down from above and spilled onto the siege vehicle.
A veteran soldier who had been through many battles smelled the oil in the air and realized that something was wrong. He immediately shouted:
"Get out!"
But before the siege vehicle took a few steps, a torch fell from the sky and landed on the siege vehicle. In an instant, flames blazed, and the soldiers around them also caught fire and rolled on the ground.
"Save the siege vehicle!"
The old soldier yelled at the crowd behind him, but the next moment, he saw a rain of arrows from the sky. He had no time to think, so he could only retreat to the side of the city wall.
The rain of arrows fell into the crowd, and countless people died immediately. Moreover, the rain of arrows continued one after another, as if it could not be stopped, which left him no chance to escape.
Inside the Nantian Gate, 10,000 soldiers were holding crossbows and shooting outside. They were divided into two groups. After the first group finished shooting, the second group would shoot again, and the two groups would rotate repeatedly.
The firing speed of the crossbow was already fast, which gave the Ningchuan army the feeling that the rain of arrows could not be stopped.
At the same time, Jian Bai quietly left the city through the secret passage. He ran in one direction, found the warhorse that had been left outside, and then went to a forest.
A whistle sounded, and countless Yantian soldiers emerged from the woods.
"Brothers, assemble and prepare to charge. Keep your voices down so as not to scare these Ningchuan troops."
On the wall of Nantianmen, although the Ningchuan army was wearing iron armor, more and more people died in the wave after wave of arrows, and most of the survivors were shot into hedgehogs.
This was not the end, one by one, thunderbolts were thrown down from the tower and fell into the crowd. The Ningchuan army obviously did not know what these were, so they ignored them.
But the next moment, explosions sounded in the crowd. Soldiers who had escaped the disaster were blown several meters away, many died, and many were missing arms and legs.
Screams rang out on the battlefield. The scene of hell on earth, the screams and explosions ringing in the ears, even the old soldier who had fought on the battlefield for many years began to tremble in his calves.
The commander in the rear realized that they were ambushed and shouted to retreat. At this time, no one cared about the formation and retreated quickly to the rear, hoping that the explosion would not happen next to them.
The potential between life and death was stimulated, and soon everyone ran out of the range of the rain of arrows. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw many black objects thrown from the city.
What is this? It shouldn't be able to come through, right?
After all, the position where they were standing made it impossible for bows and arrows to reach them.
But as the thing got closer, they gradually realized that something was wrong, and when they looked closer, they saw that it was the explosive thunderbolt. They fell into the crowd with sparks.
"run!"
There were shouts of terror everywhere, but they could not escape the range of the catapults. One after another, the thunderbolts fell into the crowd, and explosions suddenly sounded.
After the Ningchuan Army withdrew, they were already crowded together, and they were all desperate to escape, so they were crowded together for a while. Each thunderbolt could take the lives of dozens of people.
They didn't care about controlling their speed, they just ran as fast as they could. They didn't know how long they ran until they were completely exhausted and sat down on the ground.
Despite the pain in their legs and buttocks, all they could do was move their bodies and they couldn't muster any more strength.
All soldiers were like this. The range of this catapult was already far, and Lei Zhenzi weighed only about ten pounds, so the range was extremely long.
In addition, these soldiers scared themselves and did not dare to stop until they were exhausted.
The generals did not blame the soldiers, mainly because they were also frightened. They ran all the way and had no strength left.
He gasped and looked at the tall Nan Tianmen. Under the influence of war, it was like an abyss, swallowing up the lives of his men.
"Come back to your senses, everyone. Stop sitting on the ground. Stand up and get in formation. Stand up if you want to live!"
Lu Jin had recovered and was shouting around, and soldiers gradually stood up. But there were too many people, and no matter how loud his voice was, it couldn't reach every corner of the team.
Most of the messengers had weak legs and fell down again after taking a few steps.
Lu Jin took a deep breath and looked towards the city gate, and saw that the gate of Nantianmen was wide open at this time. In the midst of the war, a dark army rushed towards them.
There was no shouting and screaming from this army, only the sound of footsteps and horse hooves. The heavy armor on their bodies kept trembling, making a sound that made people's teeth ache.
