The emperor of the territory knew that he was too old to lead an army to fight. In addition, the internal strife in the territory continued, and the country's poor and weak soldiers were not suitable for direct confrontation. He could only build defense projects to resist Nanguo Zhen's army.

When he learned that Nan Guozhen had borrowed the Northern Wolf Cavalry and was attacking all the way south, he was about to attack the city of Jiang. The emperor was so frightened that he climbed up from the dragon's collapse in panic and went to the city tower to inspect the defense operations.

At this time, Nan Guozhen led his army to the gate of Jiangcheng and looked at the towering and solid three-story city wall, which was three stories high and two stories thick. Nan Guozhen wondered when the old Emperor of Jiang built it.

This protective wall? When I was escaping last year, this protective wall was not as Kaohsiung and not as strong.

The old Jiang emperor was afraid of death, so he worked day and night to repair the city wall last year, and raised the city wall to a height of three stories, so he felt at ease.

Still worried, Emperor Xian built two more inner city walls.

Looking at the heavily defended city wall, Nanguo Zhenxin said: It will be difficult to capture this city.

Indeed, even if the Southern Kingdom has the Northern Wolf Cavalry, it is really difficult to break through these three high walls, plus the old Emperor Jiang has all his troops pressed here.

The old Emperor of Xinjiang was hunched over and coughing non-stop. When he saw the troops approaching the city, he panicked and ordered arrows to be fired. He also launched a crossbow machine against the Southern Kingdom.

Because it was a long-distance battle, a quick battle plan had to be adopted. In addition, all the soldiers in the army did not get much rest during the southern attack. Fortunately, the battles were victorious this month, which boosted the morale of the soldiers, so they forgot about it.

Tired.

Therefore, Nan Guozhen led his troops here just to make an observation first, and did not intend to start a war. He wanted to make an observation first, and then discuss a battle plan, but he did not expect that the old Jiang emperor would be so afraid of him.

Looking at the sharp arrows coming towards him, Nan Guozhen certainly couldn't flinch.

"Now the enemy is firing arrows at us, should we retreat?"

Nan Guozhen asked all the soldiers, and of course they all said they could not retreat, even if they were very tired.

The entire army has a unified slogan: "Never retreat!"

Nan Guozhen gave the order, "Okay, we won't stop until we break this pool. Charge..."

Kill kill…

It can be said that the subordinates responded to every call, and thus a great battle began.

Without knowing the enemy's situation, Nan Guozhen seemed a little hasty and unprepared when faced with the enemy's secret arrows and ballistae. However, after all, Nan Guozhen was a man who had experienced hundreds of battles. He quickly calmed down and launched amazing tactics.

The Southern Zhenming Infantrymen raised their shields and spears and walked in the front line, protecting the heavy armored archers and trebuchets in the rear line, and then let the Northern Wolf Cavalry in the last line make a surprise attack.

Yushu's archers and trebuchets hit the opponent accurately, suppressing the opponent's massive firepower and giving the Northern Wolf Cavalry the best chance to make a surprise attack.

The Northern Wolf Cavalry lived up to their expectations and successfully launched a surprise attack. They repelled the Xinjiang Emperor's army who came out of the city to fight and dealt a heavy blow to the Xinjiang Emperor's army.

Although Nan Guozhen's side has the upper hand on the surface, there is still a long way to go to break through the first protective wall of the city.

Because the opponent's bows and arrows and ballistae were too powerful, Nan Guozhen's army was never able to get close to the city gate, let alone break through the city gate.

Just when everyone was at their wits' end, the Thirteenth Young Master thought of a good idea. He ordered Yilong and Yique to lead a suicide squad to dig a tunnel in a corner of the city wall.

In order to shorten the length of the tunnel and dig it faster, the entrance of the tunnel should not be too far away from the city wall, but should be dug at a close distance, otherwise people would be killed by arrows or ballistas before digging.

The Thirteenth Young Master thought of using shield soldiers as cover again.

The shield soldiers held their shields high one by one, forming a small fortress with shields, and they looked like thousands of turtle shells squatting there.

The death squads were working hard under the cover of shields. Although the shields were tightly stacked, there were always gaps, or when the hands were tired, the dense rain of flying arrows could always find the shooter.

When one shield soldier falls, another shield soldier takes over.

When the death squads work under such conditions, they dare not stop even if they are tired and have cramps in their hands. In the eyes of the death squads, the shield soldiers are more like the death squads.

At dusk, the death squads finally found enough people to get in, and the shield soldiers retreated.

Here Yilong and Yique succeeded, and Yushu over there also received good news.

After a series of pressing attacks, a 20-meter gap opened in the solid walled city.

Nanguo Zhen took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack and sent his troops to attack the city.

Yu Wenyan was the first to rush forward. He climbed up the ladder with agility and almost fell off the ladder several times. Fortunately, he quickly took out the sharp knife from his waist and thrust it into the crack of the stone.

sewing, which saved his life.

Yu Wenyan took advantage of the force between the rib-tip knife and the crack in the stone to leap up and climbed up the city wall.

Yu Wenyan flew back and forth again, kicking down two Emperor's soldiers who were holding scimitars and slashing at him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity before the Jianghuang soldiers got up, Yu Wenyan snatched the Jianghuang soldiers' scimitar, and with two swipes, the two Jianghuang soldiers could no longer get up.

As long as one person climbs up the city, it will be easy for everyone below.

Hundreds of cloud ladders were densely packed with warriors, and their strength was like a huge army of ants climbing the ladders to move.

Below, Nan Guozhen led the Northern Wolf Cavalry, rushing towards the 20-meter gap like a flood.

The first line of defense was lost, and Lao Jianghuang had to retreat to the second line of defense.

Lao Jianghuang, who retreated to the second defense, did not dare to take it lightly.

When Nan Guozhen reached the second defensive line, the vicious old Emperor Jiang ordered that Nan Guozhen be poured poisonous liquid.

The venom flowing down from the high wall fell onto the armor and horses of the soldiers. In an instant, the horses screamed in pain and ran uncontrollably.

The armor and helmet of the soldier who was sprayed with poison emitted white smoke. The armor and helmet were instantly corroded, seeping into every inch of his skin.

The skin felt like it was burnt, and the soldiers were in pain.

Nanguo Zhenli ordered all soldiers to retreat 200 meters away, and the two armies faced off for two days and nights.

It wasn't until Yilong, Yique and others dug the tunnel and cooperated inside and outside that Nan Guozhen was able to break through the second line of defense.

Both defenses were breached, and the old Emperor Jiang became even more frightened. He urged his soldiers to increase their firepower, and rocks of different sizes and rolling logs rolled down.

Nan Guozhen also launched a fierce attack, using trebuchets and heavy bow and arrow machines. The battle was very fierce... until both sides ran out of arrows.

Seeing that the third line of defense was about to be breached, Lao Jianghuang knew that this day had finally come!

Emperor Laojiang's heart became cold, he gave up his perseverance, and returned to the palace with heavy steps, waiting for Nanguo to take his own head.

Nan Guozhen's side fought more and more bravely, using trebuchets, catapults, and car crashes to force the attack, and finally opened the thousand-pound gate.

Nan Guozhen captured the third line of defense. If the third line of defense is lost, it means the fall of Jiangcheng. The loss of Jiangcheng means the end of Jiangguo.

By the time Nan Guo Zhen arrived at Xian Guo's palace, it was already night.

On this night, hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to sleep. The trumpet of victory rumbles in the night sky of Xinjiang City, and tens of thousands of torches light up the palace of Xinjiang City.

………

Footsteps as heavy as thunder were coming towards the old Emperor Jiang!

The old Emperor Jiang was sitting on the dragon throne. Looking around, he saw Nan Guozhen, a familiar scene.

Nan Guozhen was wearing armor, with red wind on his shoulders, holding a long sword with blood still dripping on it. His bright star-like eyes were full of murderous intent, and he approached the old Emperor Jiang step by step.
