Chapter 597 The Battle of Ningcheng

The raiding force of the Rong Kingdom arrived at the city.

In an instant, the entire air in Ningcheng solidified into ice.

The soldiers on the city wall were already ready to face the enemy.

The Rong Kingdom was good at fighting on horseback, and its majestic cavalry was famous in the northwest.

In addition, the Rong Kingdom produced excellent war horses, which were often devastating when encountered on the battlefield.

Therefore, when the people of Ningcheng heard that the Rong army was coming, they subconsciously felt fear in their hearts.

Normally, he would have already escaped from the city with his whole family.

Because they did not think that the defenders could withstand the Rong cavalry siege.

However, the Rong State mobilized the whole country to invade the Xia State. In the past six months, the Rong State's cavalry was blocked outside Ningcheng by the northwest army led by Meng Zhixu.

Although the Rong Kingdom took the initiative to invade many times, it never gained any benefit from the northwest army.

The two sides had been in a stalemate for more than half a year, but the Rong Kingdom did not get any benefits. Instead, even the third prince He Lianliang, the coach, was captured by the Xia Kingdom.

This gave the people of Ningcheng great confidence.

The Rong people are also human beings, and they can win as long as they are human beings. Why aren't the Xia people the victors?
They massacred our villages and blew up our city walls. The blood feud was separated by a sea of ​​blood, and the Rong people must be defeated.

In addition, Meng Zhixu fought tooth and nail on the battlefield outside the city. General Meng's reputation as the God of War was not false. He Lianliang, the once famous third prince of the Rong Kingdom, had no choice but to escape when he was confronted.

Thinking of this, the people of Ningcheng were no longer so frightened by the invasion of Rong's cavalry, and took the initiative to act as civilians to support the defenders on the city wall.

Everyone believes that with the unity of the army and the people, we can definitely win this battle to defend Ningcheng.

"Soldiers and sons, follow me to guard Ningcheng. Kill!" Xie Xiaolian gave the order, and the soldiers guarding the city threw themselves into fending off the enemy.

Soon, the shouts of fighting on the city wall were loud.

The Rong people invaded Ningcheng many times, but each time they were blocked by the northwest army under the city wall.

This time Rong State sent its most elite cavalry to attack, and it was bound to break Ningcheng.

The northwest army had rich experience in resisting the Rong Kingdom's cavalry, and coupled with the bloody spirit inspired by the bombing of the city wall on New Year's Eve, the first round of the Rong Kingdom's cavalry attack ended in failure.

Cries and the neighing of war horses were heard outside the city walls.

Piles of Rong cavalry fell outside the city wall. In the dim light, their blood could be seen staining the snow on the ground and the roots of the city wall red.

The people of Ningcheng couldn't help but cheer for the soldiers who defended the city.

Since you can't kill the enemy like a soldier, you can always use the atmosphere to dampen the vigor of the Rong cavalry.

Although the northwest city defenders had few casualties, every injured and sacrificed soldier made the people of Ningcheng feel sad and angry.

Among those young faces, those who worked with the people to rescue them on New Year's Eve were soon covered in blood or sacrificed.

Bai Dazhuang led his companions from Shenshu Village to transport gunpowder to the city wall again and again, and then carried the wounded and sacrificed soldiers down the city wall.

On the city wall, Bai Dazhuang lowered his head and glanced down the city wall. When he saw the Rong cavalry piled under the city wall, his heart gradually hardened.

Looking around, he saw his fifth brother and Xie Xiaolian standing together, holding a half-meter long knife in their arms. The tip of the knife was stained with blood, and the armor on their faces was also splattered with blood.

"Fifth brother, are you not injured?" Bai Dazhuang asked.

"Brother, I'm fine." Bai Zhaomei said.

He originally wanted to tell his elder brother that he killed thirty enemies, but he swallowed it back. After all, this was the first round.

The Rong Kingdom will definitely launch a new round of attacks.

He couldn't let up at all.

If Ningcheng cannot hold on, he, his master, and his eldest and second brothers will all die in Ningcheng.

Today, no matter how hard we try, we still have to defend Ningcheng.

Bai Dazhuang knew that this was not the time for the brothers to talk, so he carried the wounded soldiers to get off the city wall.

Bai Zhaomei looked down at the city wall. Before she could take a breath, she discovered that another wave of Rong cavalry had already swarmed over.

"The enemy is attacking again." Bai Zhaomei shouted.

The soldiers guarding the city immediately began to devote themselves to the second round of defending against the enemy.The loud shouting of killing rang out again.

The people under the city wall were stunned for a moment, knowing that the second round of Rong people's attack had begun.

Some scolded, while others threw themselves into a new round of support for the city wall defenders.

At this time, Bai Dazhuang had not gone far. When he lowered his head, he saw that the Rong Kingdom had sent more troops in the second round than in the first round.

The entire city wall was densely packed with soldiers, including cavalry and infantry.

This wave of cavalry did not attack the city rashly like the first time. Instead, they placed the dead cavalry of the Rong Kingdom in piles under the city wall, and the frozen corpses served as natural ladders to climb the wall.

The second round of siege infantry stepped on the corpses of the first wave of cavalry and tried to attack the wall.

Behind the infantry was the cavalry in full formation.

"Brother, hurry up and bring the fire oil up." Bai Zhaomei said.

Without saying a word, Bai Dazhuang carried the wounded down the city wall. Then he found a cart with kerosene and asked Liu Fugui, Zhao Xiaogui and others to push it up the city wall.

Here Bai Zhaomei and others are killing Rong soldiers who climbed up the city wall.

Seeing that several Rong soldiers were about to climb up the city wall, Bai Dazhuang gritted his teeth, poured the kerosene down with a splash, and then lit the fire.

In an instant, the city wall burst into flames.

There was a wailing sound, and the soldiers of the Rong Kingdom who climbed the wall rolled down the city wall like dumplings.

"Burn you, you bastards." Zhao Xiaogui scolded as he set the fire.

"Brother, do you still have the kerosene?" Bai Zhaomei asked after killing two soldiers.

"There's another car."

"Push them all up."

Before Bai Dazhuang came downstairs, Liu Fugui quickly ran down to push the kerosene.

Bai Dazhuang was shocked. He knew that there were only two cars of kerosene, and he would not use kerosene to attack unless he had to.

But once the real war began, nothing mattered.

The first consideration is to drive the enemy back, no matter what method is used.

The kerosene not only forced back the Rong soldiers climbing the wall, but also frightened the horses of the Rong cavalry, causing the first row of cavalry to fall off their horses.

Is kerosene so powerful?

It would be nice to have more kerosene.

Bai Dazhuang suddenly had an idea and stood on the city wall and shouted to the people under the city wall: "Folks, go home now and bring all the lamp oil. Let's attack with fire."

When Bai Dazhuang shouted, the people under the city wall acting as atmosphere groups or civilian husbands ran towards their homes one after another.

Soon, the people in the city brought all the oil from their homes, and some even withheld the oil from their kerosene lamps.

In addition to taking oil and other flammable materials, I also took away the iron pots, shovels and knives from home.

The people organized themselves spontaneously, preparing to use the tools in their hands to fight if the defenders on the city wall could not hold on, and they could not surrender to the Rong Kingdom.

Huoyou's offensive forced back Rong Guo's second attack.

It was already daylight by this time, and the charred corpses of Rong soldiers under the city wall gave off a disgusting smell, and painful wails could be heard inside the wall.

Bai Zhaomei, Xie Xiaolian and others were covered in blood after being chopped down.

The defenders on the city wall were panting, holding knives and arrows, with no sign of relaxation on their faces.

"Look at..."

One of the soldiers pointed at the Rongguo cavalry and shouted breathlessly.

Bai Zhaomei and others looked down and were stunned.

It turned out that the Rong people cut off their shirts, blindfolded the horses and broke through the fire for the third attack. (End of chapter)
