Chapter 96: Chongli Prefecture Battle Begins, Tang Caier Arrives in the North
An hour later.
Chongli Prefecture, the army is approaching.
An army of 450,000 soldiers arrived, and looking around, it was a dark mass with no end in sight.
A solemn and murderous atmosphere gradually filled the air.
On the chariot.
The King of Jin was wearing armor, had sharp eyes, and held a 10-foot-long sword in his hand. He squinted his eyes and looked at the slender figure standing on the city wall in the distance.
"Ninghe."
"I don't know how much skills you have learned from that person." Although King Jin said this, he didn't take it seriously in his heart and did not take the other party seriously.
When you get to the bottom of it, she's just a yellow-haired girl.
He has experienced hundreds of battles in his life, and the number of battles he has fought is more than the number of bridges Ninghe has walked across.
Today, an army of 450,000 is approaching.
How could Chongli Prefecture, with only 180,000 defenders at most, stop him?
"Siege the city."
Prince Jin withdrew his gaze and spoke in a calm tone.
'Woo'
'Woo'
'Woo'
Following the order from King Jin.
A long horn sounded immediately.
It echoed outside the Chongli Mansion for a long time without stopping, and along with it came the stirring yet particularly heavy sound of war drums.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The shouts and cries of killing shook the sky.
The army advanced in an instant, pressing towards Chongli Prefecture step by step.
"coming."
Ning He watched this scene on the city wall.
He took a deep breath and said, "Send the order, prepare to meet the enemy."
'Dang Dang Dang'
The sound of golden arrows rang out, and the archers standing on the city wall responded.
His expression immediately became serious, he drew his bow, and aimed the sharp arrow tip at the slowly advancing army. The atmosphere froze in an instant.
"Hurry up."
"Bring up all the kerosene, rolling logs, and rolling stones." At the same time, Zhou Yan's slightly hurried voice also sounded in the city, urging many soldiers.
Move all the items needed to defend the city onto the city wall.
"Come here, push the boulder over here and hold the city gate for me. Don't let the enemy break it down." A general shouted.
A huge rock was pushed over by dozens of soldiers with great effort.
It smashed heavily on the city gate, holding the wide gate tightly in place.
This movement made a general under the command of King Jin outside the city frown and ask, "Have you sealed the city gate?"
talking.
The general glanced to both sides.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "It seems that the East Gate and West Gate have been blocked before this."
Blocking the door has both advantages and disadvantages.
It can prevent the enemy from breaking through the city gate while also slowing down the speed of one's own retreat.
Once the city falls, it will be difficult to escape.
But if you plan to hold on and never retreat, then there will only be benefits.
After thinking about it, the general narrowed his eyes.
It is clear that Ning He is determined to hold on to Chongli Prefecture.
"But can you hold it?" With a sneer, Wu Yuan disagreed. He didn't think Ning He could defend Chongli Prefecture with only 180,000 people.
The army advanced slowly.
It only took a cup of tea to reach the three hundred steps.
Without any hesitation.
Wu Yuan glanced at the archers on the city wall and shouted, "Raise your shields."
'Swish, swish, swish'
At his command, more than a thousand soldiers came forward with large shields in hand.
Holding the shield high, it turned into a shield wall.
Blocked the army in front.
"Get the ladder ready." Wu Yuan looked over and heard another loud shout. A huge monster, pushed by over a hundred soldiers, slowly approached.
Three hundred feet.
Two hundred feet.
One hundred feet.
Fifty feet, thirty feet.
Ning He was on the city wall when the Jin King's army approached thirty feet to the city wall.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she made a prompt decision: "Release the arrow."
'咻咻咻'
More than a thousand archers, a volley of shots.
Arrows rained down densely, but the army of King Jin raised their shields and easily blocked this round of arrows, and it didn't have much effect.
Seeing this, Ning He frowned.
He gave the order: "Get the crossbows ready, shoot!" As the words fell.
The twenty crossbow carts mounted on the city wall, which had been aimed at the Jin King's army, shot out instantly.
'Om! '
Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air.
Heavy crossbows flew by like meteors and hit the shield soldiers standing in front of the army.
The power of a heavy crossbow can break the martial arts energy.
Even a martial artist at the Grandmaster level would die on the spot if he was not careful, not to mention some ordinary soldiers.
The screams continued for a while.
Many soldiers were pierced through the body by heavy crossbows and were knocked flying.
but.
Although the heavy crossbow is powerful, the speed of loading arrows is a bit slow.
Before the second salvo.
The army of King Jin had already reached the city.
"Build a ladder."
After Wu Yuan gave another order.
Ladders were quickly erected on the city walls.
"kill!"
"The first person to reach the summit will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver and promoted three levels in a row."
With such a huge reward, the soldiers who had fought their way to the city instantly became furious and climbed up the ladders one after another.
Even on the city wall.
There were already arrows pointed at him, but he ignored them.
The wind rises and yellow sand fills the sky.
As the soldiers under King Jin climbed up the ladders one after another, the war broke out instantly.
Arrows, boulders, and rolling logs came crashing down.
One soldier after another was crushed to death, but the next second, someone else climbed up the ladder.
Climb up desperately.
There were already a lot of corpses piled up under the ladder, and the smell of blood was gradually getting stronger.
On the city wall.
Ning He issued one order after another in an orderly manner, without any sign of panic.
'boom'
Until the ladder truck finally arrived.
It hit the city wall heavily, making a loud noise.
“In the battle to defend the city, we should win a great victory in the first battle to dampen the enemy’s spirit and weaken their edge. Only then can we be invincible.” I recalled what the prince had said to me.
Ning He's eyes were slightly cold.
Look at the enemy troops on the ladder truck who are about to charge out.
He grabbed the spear placed on the side, drew a spear flower, and walked forward with the spear: "Follow me, kill!"
"kill!"
That's when.
All the enemy troops on the ladder trucks were killed.

north.
Resist the barbarians and guard the northern palace.
After Tang Cai'er set out, she did not dare to delay for a moment and used light skills to travel all the way.
Finally arrived within two days.
Fortunately, she had entered the celestial realm many years ago, and her true energy was strong and endless.
Otherwise, it would not be able to sustain such consumption.
"Zhenbei Palace."
Looking at the palace so close.
For some reason, Tang Cai'er was a little nervous.
That unreliable look was restrained early on, and he took a deep breath.
Tang Caier clenched her palms.
He walked forward slowly and knocked on the door of the palace.
'Tuk Tuk'
There was a knock on the door.
Soon, the gate of the palace slowly opened.
A servant poked his head out, looked at Tang Cai'er and said, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
"I am Tang Cai'er, the third elder of the Qingyuan Sword Sect." Upon hearing this, Tang Cai'er took a step forward, clasped her hands and said solemnly, "I am here on the orders of His Majesty to meet with the King of Zhenbei to discuss important matters. I hope you will inform me."
"Qingyuan Sword Sect?"
After hearing this, the servant looked at Tang Cai'er with some doubt and said, "Wait a moment, I will inform the prince."
'boom'
After saying this, he closed the door of the mansion.
Tang Cai'er was left alone, her hair disheveled by the wind, standing outside the mansion in a daze.
