Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 384 Retreat, Death
"General, our army is fully prepared, and the time has come. General, please order to attack the city!"

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and half an hour passed in a flash.

The following came to report that everything was ready, Li Dingguo nodded and immediately ordered: "Okay! Then start attacking the city!
Take Heyue City as quickly as possible, and the first climber will be promoted to three levels in a row!Reward a hundred taels of silver! "

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for Li Dingguo's order to spread throughout the army.

"The general has an order! The whole army will attack the city! The first climber will be promoted to three ranks in a row! A hundred taels of silver will be rewarded!"

"The general has an order! The whole army will attack the city! The first climber will be promoted to three ranks in a row! A hundred taels of silver will be rewarded!"

"The general has an order! The whole army will attack the city! The first climber will be promoted to three ranks in a row! A hundred taels of silver will be rewarded!"

As soon as this generous reward came out, the morale of the whole army was immediately mobilized!
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

All the soldiers of the Pingwa Army let out bursts of roars of morale like a rainbow, and began to attack the city!

The whole army began to press on!
In the city, as soon as the Pingwa army moved, someone immediately reported the matter to Zhao Ansheng, who had come to supervise the battle near the city wall.

Zhao Ansheng was shocked immediately!
"Why so fast!"

But then he realized that no matter how surprised he was, it was an indisputable fact that the Pingwa army had begun to attack the city, and he immediately ordered Zhengbei Gate to start defensive preparations!
Needless to say here, the defenders on the top of the city had already clenched their weapons and prepared when they realized that the Pingwa army was approaching.

The pots of gold juice, rolling logs, and stones on the city wall were all ready. Everyone looked nervously at the Pingwa army who was getting closer, and their hands were already covered in cold sweat.

At the south gate, Song Deren and others also received the news that the Pingwa army had begun to attack. Song Deren laughed, and Dang even ordered:
"Since the brothers from the Pingwa Army have already started fighting, we naturally can't fall behind. I don't want to lose the bet!

Order the whole army!Siege! "

"promise!"

……

One touch moves the whole body.

The movement of the Pingwa army was like a sleeping lion being awakened. The situation that had fallen into a short, weird and peaceful balance due to the tacit understanding of the three parties was instantly broken, and all the three parties moved!

"Rush! Rush! Rush!"

At the north gate of Heyue City, the catapults of the Pingwa army had already started to be thrown into the battlefield. Stones the size of watermelons rained down on the wall of the north gate, smashing the entire north gate into a mess.

And under the city, the soldiers of the Pingwa Army pushed the crash ladder car and even Lu Gong's car, and they were desperately approaching the city wall.

Taking advantage of the power of the catapult, a group of Pingwa soldiers rushed directly to fifty steps below the city, and only then were the defenders on the top of the city aware and reacted.

Under the persecution of the Zhao family, the defenders at the top of the city began to defend the city against the falling rocks that would fall on their heads at some point.

Archery with bows and arrows, and those without arrows will throw logs and stones down when the Pingwa army approaches!

This caused some trouble to the Pingwa army who was charging.

But when they thought of the reward for climbing first, they all became excited again, and rushed down the city regardless of the things falling from the sky.

The soldiers pushing the crashed car rushed all the way into the city gate under the cover of the crashed car.

Looking at the tall city gate, more than a dozen Pingwa Army officers and soldiers who turned and pushed the carts rubbed their hands excitedly. The leading captain said loudly:

"Brothers, as long as you break through this door, we will get the reward for climbing first! Work harder later!"

"Captain, don't worry! How many city gates have we bumped into? It is specified that this first board cannot be snatched away by others!"

"That's it! Let's do it!"

"Go!"

Everyone's spirits were high, and the captain didn't waste any more time, and ordered everyone to take their positions.

"One two three! Hit!"

"One two three! Hit!"

"One two three! Hit!!!"

Everyone tried their best to push the crash car and slammed it towards the city gate!

boom! boom! boom!
The huge and thick city gate creaked under the impact of the crash, which further stimulated the nerves of the people who pushed the crash car, and they all cheered up and used more force to hit the city gate fiercely!

Crunch!crunch!
The back and forth impact made the city gate overwhelmed. The huge metal horn in front of the collision was specially made for breaking the door. If it hits again and again, even if the city gate of Heyue City is big and thick enough, it can't last long!
After bumping for about a quarter of an hour, there was finally a click sound, and the entire city gate was smashed into pieces in an instant.

Just as the people pushing the crashed car thought they were going to climb first and then go on, and were ready to celebrate, they were dumbfounded when they saw the scene behind the city gate.

It turned out that the North City Gate had been blocked!

The Zhao family had known for a long time that they couldn't stop the door with a single flash, so they blocked the north city gate with earth, rocks and other debris, leaving no gaps.

Now break open the city gate and take a look, okay!

In vain!
The things blocked in this city gate cannot be cleaned up in a short while, and there are not enough people with just a dozen of them.

Finally, looking at the blocked city gate, the crashing soldiers could only leave in disappointment.

It seems that this first boarding reward has no chance for them.

And when they slammed into the city gate desperately, the Pingwa army outside had already handed over the defenders.

A large number of Pingwa troops rushed to the bottom of the city with the aid of carts and wooden mantles, and then it was the turn of Yunti carts and Lügong chariots to appear.

The long ladder truck fastened the ladder firmly to the wall, and the soldiers climbed up along the ladder with round shields in their hands.

The defenders began to pour defensive objects onto the ladder, desperately trying to cut off the ladder.

It's just that the front part of the ladder is made of fine iron, and the defenders can't stop cutting at all. In the end, they can only fight hand-to-hand with the Pingwa army rushing up the ladder.

While standing on Lu Gong's car, the soldiers of the Pingwa Army took advantage of their height and continuously poured arrows on the city wall, causing a lot of damage to the defenders on the city wall.

"General! I can't take it anymore! Brothers are about to lose it!"

"Fart! If you can't keep it, you have to keep it! The Zhao family has raised you for so many years, just for you to answer that you can't keep it?

You bear it first, I will ask the Patriarch for help!Remember that the city must not fall until I come back! "

"General! I can't hold it! I really can't hold it! Don't go!"

"Must hold on!"

Zhao Ansheng was sitting on the wall of the North City, constantly receiving messages for help from everywhere.

What is anxious is that I am devastated, but I don't know what to do.

Now that he has no soldiers in his hand, where can he go to get reinforcements for them.

He also didn't expect that the enemy is so strong, they are defending the city!
The opponent didn't have much more troops than them, and the siege actually overwhelmed the defenders. What's the situation!
"Patriarch, ask for help at the South City Gate, the [-] defenders are now less than [-], if you don't send people to go, you will fall!"

"Patriarch, ask for help at the West City Gate! There are less than 1000 of them!"

"Patriarch Beicheng urgently reports that there are less than [-] people on the city wall! The opponent has already reached the top of the city through the ladder, and we are desperately trying to stop it, but we are almost unable to stop it!"

"Hold! Hold! Hold! There are no more reinforcements. If we can't hold on, we will all die! Let them work hard!"

Zhao An walked back and forth angrily, and the news he received made him furious.

Seeing that the situation was already in such a critical situation, the Fifth Patriarch still sat there unhurriedly.

When Zhao Ansheng saw it, he hurriedly said as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Fifth Patriarch, you should think of a way! The city is about to collapse! I can't hold on any longer!"

Looking up at the sun, the Fifth Patriarch finally put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a long sigh, "Have the arrangements been made?"

Zhao Ansheng was stunned: "Fifth Patriarch, you..."

The fifth patriarch of the Zhao family glanced at him and continued, "Your son should have left the city, right?"

Zhao Ansheng lowered his head: "Fifth Patriarch, I..."

The Fifth Patriarch shook his head and smiled, and said slowly: "Don't feel guilty, it's just human nature.

Do you think we can really stop the imperial court and the Japanese army? "

"Then you still..."

"Only in this way, will the imperial court believe that our Zhao family is really destroyed, otherwise, even if our Zhao family escapes today, how long can they persist under the imperial court's pursuit?

Only when the imperial court sees that my Zhao family has tried its best and destroyed its foundation, will the imperial court let my Zhao family survive.

Do you think that you are the only one who arranged for your own heirs to escape?
Do you believe that other rooms also have corresponding actions.

No one is a fool, everyone will leave a way out for themselves.

Everyone understands their own ending, but they all do so voluntarily, so as to leave a way for their children to survive.

Now, it's time for us to die.

Don't worry about the city wall, tell everyone to go back to the Zhao Mansion, we will die in our own homes. "

Zhao Ansheng nodded silently and arranged the matter.

Soon, the Zhao family who were originally guarding the four city walls all received the news, tacitly stopped what they were doing, and gathered together at the Zhao residence.

In Heyue City, there are more than 2000 people in the main and branch branches of the Zhao family.

Nearly a thousand people died in the battle of defending the city just now, and only less than 700 people returned to the Zhao family.

A large group of people were all ready to die, and returned to the place where they grew up, quietly waiting for the final arrival.

And when the Zhao family left, the defenders on the four walls, which had been resisting difficulties, quickly collapsed without a commander, and the north city gate was the first to be broken.

After clearing the city gate quickly, the army quickly entered the city and went straight to Zhao's house.

Not long afterward, the South Gate and West Gate were also breached, and the Japanese army quickly gathered in the direction of the Zhao Mansion.

In the Zhao family at this time, more than 700 Zhao family members gathered in the mansion.

The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Ansheng, and the fifth patriarch stood quietly at the gate of the mansion, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, the vanguard of the Pingwa Army arrived at the gate of the Zhao Mansion first.

Li Dingguo soon received news that the Zhao family was abnormal and stepped forward.

But Zhao Ansheng and Fifth Patriarch still stood there quietly as if they didn't see him.

Someone stepped forward and suggested, "General, should we..."

Li Dingguo shook his head, and said softly as if he understood something: "No need, just wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Waiting for the Japanese army."

In less than two quarters of an hour, the Japanese soldiers also arrived at the scene. Song Deren saw the strange scene in the field and led his people forward.

Seeing the arrival of the Japanese army, Zhao Ansheng and Zhao Ansheng, who hadn't made any movement just now, finally reacted.
