The rebel coalition soldiers who braved hooks, sickles and rolling logs and rocks climbed up the city wall. Although they continued to climb up to the critical point, they were still unable to force the heavy armored infantry back. More and more rebel coalition soldiers died tragically at the critical moment many.

Yang Lin gritted his teeth, and shouted to the herald behind him: "Ming Jin withdraws troops." Now there is not much time until dark, if this continues, it is impossible to completely capture Xianning before dark, only to expand the coalition forces Loss.What's more, the four arrow towers have been removed today, and this battle is not without gains.Without the threat of the arrow tower, the coalition forces can calmly withdraw from the battlefield.

"Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang!" The clear and crisp golden sound spread throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers of the rebel coalition who were climbing were only stunned for a moment, and they all followed the military order and withdrew from the battle.

And on the city, Huang Yunfei didn't show the slightest expression of joy after seeing the enemy retreat, and remained indifferent from beginning to end.

Liu Tong and Yang Lin who were outside the city looked at the commotion on the city, their eyes were full of complexity, Yang Lin sighed: "The heavy armored infantry is really powerful. Huang Yunfei must be the biggest obstacle for us to capture Xianning." Although Liu Tong did not answer, But from the look in his eyes, he also agreed with Yang Lin's words.Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 494

At this time, Wang Gaoyi, who had been staying behind before, rode over with a gloomy face, looked at Liu Tong and Yang Lin with resentment, and shouted: "Young general, nearly 500 cavalry were lost in today's battle I hope that when the time comes, the major general can give my lord a good explanation."

"Hmph!" Liu Tong snorted coldly, looked at Wang Gaoyi, and shouted, "Don't worry, General Wang. Since I said that I will take full responsibility for this battle, I will not shirk responsibility. Where is your lord, I will naturally There is an explanation. As for you, General Wang, I think the general should pay more attention to the issue of arranging soldiers."

After finishing speaking, Liu Tong ignored Wang Gaoyi, held the big gun upside down, pulled the reins, and rode his horse to follow the army to the rear.

And Yang Lin had already turned against Wang Gaoyi before, so naturally he didn't think about Wang Gaoyi's emotions anymore, he didn't even look at Wang Gaoyi, and drove his mount to follow Liu Tong.Being ignored by Liu Tong and Yang Lin one after another, Wang Gaoyi was extremely angry, but Liu Tong's terrifying aura was still lingering in his heart, making him dare not act rashly.

In order to raid Xianning before, the coalition forces never had time to build a camp, and now they can only temporarily build a camp about ten miles away from Xianning.While building the camp, Liu Tong and Yang Lin also began to count the losses in today's battle. When the statistics were handed over to the two of them, both of them could not help but frown.

In today's battle, the coalition forces suffered great losses, including the loss of cavalry that Wang Gaoyi had mentioned at the beginning. In addition, more than 3000 siege soldiers such as sword and shield soldiers and spearmen also lost more than 100 people, but the archers suffered the least loss. More than 2 people.Adding it all together, the coalition lost more than [-] people in today's battle.Although most of them were injured, in ancient battles, once injured, it was easy to die.Such a loss is very heavy for the coalition forces with only [-] people.

"Huh!" Liu Tong looked at the battle report written on the military book, snorted angrily, threw the battle report on the ground, stepped forward in frustration, kicked hard, and kicked the shattered military book far away.

Yang Lin, who was at the side, stepped forward to comfort him and said: "Don't be anxious, Major General. Today's battle is not without results. At least we have already destroyed those four arrow towers. We will fight again tomorrow without the threat of those four arrow towers. We can safely and boldly launch a full-scale attack on Xianning. I don't think there are many archers in Xianning, and we have lost a lot in today's battle. Huang Yunfei has heavy armored infantry, and it is impossible to withstand the army's attack Attack in turn."

"General Xia." Liu Tong shouted in a deep voice: "Since you are so confident, it will depend on you tomorrow. I must take this Xianning. If I can't take Xianning tomorrow, then I will fight myself." When it came to the end, Liu Tong clenched his fists tightly. Although the general's force rarely exerts its power in the battle, it is not completely so.At least, when Liu Tong followed Liu Guang to attack Nanchang City, he rushed to the top of the city alone, beheaded the enemy generals, and won the first attack on the city.

However, Xianning is not comparable to Nanchang City, and Jiang Bo is not comparable to Huang Yunfei. If it is not forced, Liu Tong will never take this risk.This raid on Xianning, Liu Guang managed to fight for the position of commander-in-chief for Liu Tong. Liu Tong could not embarrass Liu Guang.

If this battle fails, not only will Liu Guang lose all face, but Liu Guang's position in the alliance will also plummet in the future.Regardless of the reason, Liu Tong was not allowed to fail in this attack on Xianning.Yang Lin also understood what Liu Tong meant, and could only nod his head in agreement at the moment, already secretly planning the siege plan for tomorrow.

Soon, the camp was set up, Yang Lin bid farewell to Liu Tong, and hurried back to his camp to think about more perfect tactics.The soldiers who had fought for a day also entered the camp to rest one after another, only Liu Tong stood alone at the gate of the camp, looking to the west.Suddenly, the figure of a burly man holding a long and strange weapon appeared in Liu Tong's mind. Suddenly, a trace of hatred flashed in Liu Tong's eyes, and he murmured: "Manage the world. The revenge of the year, I It must be reported. You just wash my neck and wait."

In order to formulate a perfect siege strategy, Yang Lin didn't sleep all night. When the next morning, Yang Lin rushed to the front of the army with red eyes.This time Liu Tong still handed over the command of the army to Yang Lin, and Yang Lin never shirked it. The only thing he found strange was that Wang Gaoyi didn't react at all this time, unlike yesterday's strong opposition.

Liu Tong glanced at Wang Gaoyi strangely, and said nothing more, turned to Yang Lin and said, "General Xia, let's get started."

Yang Lin stared into his red eyes and nodded, and issued orders to the army one after another. He arranged for two thousand sword shield soldiers to be in front, followed by all the archers, while the other sword shield soldiers and long spearmen followed. Lifting the ladder for the center formation.As for the cavalry, Yang Lin didn't assign any tasks to them.Yang Lin remembered Wang Gaoyi's attitude yesterday, but today Yang Lin made up his mind to take down Xianning. At this critical moment, Yang Lin was a little worried whether Wang Gaoyi would play tricks in it.Besides, the tactics that Yang Lin arranged today were actual hand-to-hand combat, and cavalry such as cavalry would no longer be of much use.

After the formation was completed, Yang Lin waved his saber and shouted: "The whole army is attacking. Beat the drums to cheer!"

"Kill!" With the sound of war drums, the soldiers of the coalition army shouted loudly and launched an impact in the direction of Xianning.As for Xianning ahead, just as Yang Lin envisioned yesterday, after the four arrow towers were burned down, Zhao Jun's archers also lost a lot, so they could only shoot from the two wings of Xianning.However, such an attack did not have much effect, and was quickly suppressed by the archers following behind the sword and shield soldiers.

"Don't pay attention to the enemy's archers. The whole army rushed directly to the gate of the city. Take Xianning in one go." Yang Lin saw that the archers of the coalition army seemed to be attracted by the Zhao army on the two wings, and he couldn't wait to send the order. The officer helped to convey the military order, and he roared directly towards the front, and the slightly hoarse voice resounded throughout the battlefield.

With Yang Lin's reminder, those archers also decisively gave up their target, closely followed the sword and shield soldiers in front, and began to rush towards the city gate of Xianning.Sure enough, although Zhao Jun's archers on both sides were still attacking, due to the number of reasons, they did not cause much damage at all. The coalition forces rushed through this line of defense and launched an attack towards the wall.Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 494

Under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers in front, the archers of the coalition army reached the gate of the city. This time, Yang Lin didn't need to order them.On the city, Huang Yunfei stood at the critical moment just like yesterday. Before those archers rushed to the gate of the city, Huang Yunfei waved a hand and issued orders to the heavy armored infantry who were still in a square formation behind him. A military order was issued: "heavy armored infantry, step in Xuanwu formation."

"Drink." The five thousand soldiers of the heavy armored infantry shouted, and took out the square shield they had been carrying on their backs from their backs and held it to their chests.Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry were divided into three rows again and stood in front of the parapet.When the archers outside the city shot their arrows, all the soldiers of the first row of heavy armored infantry raised their square shields and stood in front of them, while the soldiers of the third row of heavy armored infantry He raised the square shield high, protecting himself and the comrades in front of him.This is exactly the Xuanwu formation that resisted the offensive of the Southern Army's Zhai army in the small county.

The arrow flew out from the archer's longbow and went straight to the city to shoot, but was blocked tightly by the sturdy square shield.

"Tsk." Seeing the commotion in the city, Yang Lin couldn't help snorting. He didn't expect Huang Yunfei to use a completely different formation from yesterday. Such a Xuanwu formation, as its name suggests, is like a formation that has no way out. The mouth of the turtle shell.Yang Lin waved his hands anxiously, and shouted loudly: "Go to the pass. Break his mother's turtle shell."

Everything seemed to be a repeat of yesterday. Seeing that the arrows could no longer pose a threat to the enemies in the city, those archers simply put away their bows and arrows to make way for the main force behind them who was really responsible for attacking the fortifications.A ladder was erected on the wall again, and countless coalition soldiers began to climb up the city along the ladder.Because there was no obstacle from the cavalry, the number of rebel coalition soldiers climbing on the wall this time was much larger. From a distance, the entire wall seemed to be covered by black people.

"Use all the rolling logs, stones, and sickle guns! Heavy armored infantry! Come on!" Seeing that the coalition forces were about to reach a critical point, Huang Yunfei immediately issued an order this time.After hearing the order, the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry immediately took a step forward and pressed the square shield tightly against the female wall.

The soldiers of the Allied Forces of the Rebel Army who were hit on their bodies by rolling logs and stones, or stabbed by hook and sickle spears, screamed and fell from the city.Even if they were a little nimble enough to barely climb up the parapet, the blades that suddenly stabbed out from the gaps in those square shields still killed them.

Screams sounded from the city, and the soldiers of the rebel coalition rushed up without fear of life and death, but above their heads, the corpses of their comrades in arms kept falling like rain.The majestic city wall and the soldiers on it became an insurmountable gap, making it impossible for the rebel coalition soldiers to break through this line of defense.

The next day's battle lasted from morning to evening. Yang Lin, who was determined to capture Xianning, commanded the allied forces to launch the most ferocious attack on Xianning.However, under Huang Yunfei's command, five thousand heavy armored infantry soldiers and thousands of defenders remained firmly on the city wall of Xianning.

However, no matter how powerful the command ability is, it cannot erase the huge gap in troop strength.Although after these two days of offensive and defensive battles, Huang Yunfei successfully defended Xianning, but the losses of the defenders on the city were quite tragic.There were less than 3000 of the [-] heavy armored infantry left, and more than half of the more than [-] defenders who were added later lost more than half.Even those archers are no exception.

In other words, in the entire Xianning city, there are only less than 3000 heavy armored infantry left.Moreover, almost every soldier of the heavy armored infantry has injuries of various sizes, and less than half of them are still capable of fighting. This is probably the biggest casualty in the history of the heavy armored infantry.

The heavy armored infantry was beaten so painfully, and the price paid by the coalition forces was not small. According to Yang Lin's statistics after the war, the coalition forces finally lost nearly 7000 casualties in total.Of the [-] troops with combat effectiveness, only less than [-] are left. It can be said that in today's battle, the two armies have lost both sides.

"Okay." It was completely different from his performance after seeing the battle report yesterday, Liu Tong looked very calm, slowly put the battle report aside, raised his head and said to Yang Lin: "According to what I said yesterday, tomorrow, I will personally Go into battle and take Xianning down."

Yang Lin's face was very pale. Although judging from the results of the battle, the coalition army and Zhao army were evenly matched, but Yang Lin knew that he was completely defeated.With nearly 2 people to attack the checkpoint guarded by only [-] heavy armored infantry and more than [-] soldiers and horses, but still unable to conquer Xianning, Yang Lin's hard work today can only prove his failure.

And hearing Liu Tong's words, Yang Lin's dull eyes finally revealed a glimmer of light, and immediately shouted: "No way! Major General, you can't take risks. Give the general another day, don't you?" It only takes half a day, now Huang Yunfei is at the end of his strength, and he will definitely take Xianning down."

Regarding Yang Lin's request, Liu Tong directly refused, and said in a deep voice: "General Xia, I have watched your battle for the past two days, and you have done well. I don't mean to blame you in any way. But tomorrow is the final time limit, and we can't take any risks. If we can't capture Xianning tomorrow, Zhao Jun's reinforcements will arrive. At that time, our hard work these days will be in vain. Needless to say. Tomorrow I will Personally lead the army to attack the city. As for the command of the rear, it depends on you."

"But." Although Liu Tong had made up his mind, Yang Lin was still a little worried. Liu Tong's identity didn't want them, he was just an ordinary general, and Liu Tong was Liu Guang's heir.If something happened to Liu Tong in Xianning, it would not only deal a big blow to the morale of the coalition forces, but it might also cause the coalition forces to split.This is not what Yang Lin wants to see.

"No need to say more." Liu Tong waved his hand, stopped Yang Lin first, and then said: "Also, you must be careful with that Wang Gaoyi in tomorrow's battle. I think there is something wrong with him today, it seems There are other plans. Today I am standing behind him, he dare not make any movement, tomorrow I will not be behind, it is hard to say whether this kid will play tricks or not." Liu Tong always kept in mind Wang Gaoyi's abnormal behavior today In the past, I also specifically instructed Yang Lin to do it now.

In fact, even if Liu Tong didn't say anything, Yang Lin had noticed Wang Gaoyi, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Major General, that kid Wang Gaoyi only has a thousand cavalry at most, I will pay close attention to it, he won't cause much trouble. As for tomorrow's battle plan, the major general should think about it again. It would be too dangerous to do that."

But Liu Tong ignored Yang Lin's dissuasion, just waved his hand, and walked straight towards the gate of the camp, looking at Xianning in front of him, Liu Tong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit, and said: "Huang Yunfei ! Let me, Liu Tong, meet you in person tomorrow."

Another night passed, and early in the morning, Liu Tong led the army to the outside of Xianning city. Looking at the Zhao army in front of the city, Liu Tong's mouth was slightly raised, and his fighting spirit was immediately high.

Yang Lin, who was behind Liu Tong, said worriedly: "Major General, why don't you let me go with you. The two of you are somewhat supportive." Although Yang Lin said he was not good at martial arts, his skills were at least better than average Generals are much stronger.Special Forces Crossing: Prince Song 494

Liu Tong looked up to the sky with a smile, and said, "General Xia. You won't remember how many times you have to tell me. I'm in charge of today's battle. What General Xia has to do is to manage the rear. Also, If you and I are both in battle, then who will Wang Gaoyi be watching from behind?" When he said the last sentence, Liu Tong deliberately lowered his voice, and pointed to Wang Gaoyi and Wang Gaoyi who had been staying in the back with a very subtle finger. That more than a thousand cavalry.

After Liu Tong said that, Yang Lin couldn't continue to dissuade him, so he clasped his fists and shouted at Liu Tong: "If so, then I wish the Major General the victory." After finishing speaking, Yang Lin rode his horse towards the rear of the army formation. Go, and return the command of the army to Liu Tong.

"Soldiers." Liu Tong straightened his body, holding a big gun in his hand, pointed at Xianning in front of him, and shouted to the soldiers of the coalition army behind him: "See clearly, this city wall in front is a disgrace to our army! The two of us Wan Dajun wasted two days, but he was unable to capture such a city gate!"

Liu Tong said kindly: "We all claim to be heroes. There are not many soldiers inside such a city wall. We still can't take it down. Don't you feel ashamed? Let me tell you, today, I will take you , completely knock down the city gate in front of us, this symbol of our shame. I want to listen to your heart, do you have the confidence?"

Liu Tong's short words stimulated the morale of the rebel coalition soldiers who had gone through two days of hard work.All the soldiers stared at their red eyes and roared angrily according to their weapons: "Take down Xianning! Step down at Xianning!"

"Very good." The goal was achieved, Liu Tong smiled, swung his big gun vigorously in the air, and shouted loudly: "The whole army obeys my military orders. Go! Trample Xianning."

"Kill." Without any tactical arrangement or clear attack instructions, more than [-] coalition soldiers, led by Liu Tong, rushed towards Xianning like a huge sharp blade.Liu Tong's actions stunned Yang Lin, who was supervising the battle behind, he never thought that Liu Tong would do this, what kind of play is this?No suppression, no division of labor, just rampage like this?This made Yang Lin, who was studying orthodox military training, completely confused.However, the subsequent development of the battle made Yang Lin even more astonished, because the coalition forces led by Liu Tong had rushed to the critical moment very smoothly.
