"Crown Prince" Xiang Xian thought about the seriousness of his defeat in Danyang City, and his face turned pale.

He pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at Danyang County, shouted: "In today's battle, either the prince was killed or the Danyang County was captured.

If you win today, you will be the ministers of the prince. I will never treat you badly as the emperor in the future. If you lose today, none of you will survive.”

"Yes, Prince!"

"I'm equivalent to death!"

The generals and the captains were numb.

They also know that the situation is extremely serious.

They led tens of thousands of troops, but they couldn't even capture a small Danyang County. Not to mention that the prince couldn't afford to take advantage of the situation after he went back, their group of generals who followed the army would definitely have no good ending.

King Xiang Bi of Wu was irritable, how could he give them good fruits?

If the battle is not good, it is either imprisoned or beheaded!

"The whole army obeys the order!"

"Mainly attacking the East City Gate!"

"A thousand miscellaneous soldiers are the vanguard, consuming the gunpowder on the opposite side."

"A thousand elite infantry are the main force, and after following the miscellaneous soldiers twenty steps, they will rush to the top of Danyang City!"

"The other thousand elite infantry are the second wave, carrying bows and arrows to suppress the musketeers on the city, and charge again in front of them."

"Three thousand miscellaneous soldiers are on the flanks, heading to the south and north city gates of Danyang City, launching a feint attack, and dispersing the troops guarding the city. Leave the west city gates and let them escape!"

"A thousand light cavalry lie in the back. Once they escape from Danyang County, they will follow and chase after them immediately, and don't let anyone go."

"A thousand people are holding the team for the supervision team. Those who dare to escape in the battle will be killed on the spot!"

"Before the sunset, capture Danyang County!"

Xiang Xian arranged troops and ordered the generals to act.

His dispatch of troops was quite prohibited and there was nothing wrong with it.

"yes!"

The generals took the order and took their huge troops to approach Danyang County.

...

"Mr. Li, they divided their troops and headed towards other city gates."

Zhao Hu said anxiously.

"I will leave three thousand people to guard the East City Gate. Zhao Hu and Jiang Gang, you will bring one thousand people each, pull ten small steel cannons, and guard the two city gates in the north and south."

Li Gannian said.

"yes!"

County lieutenant Zhao Hu and Dian official Jiang Gang took two thousand miscellaneous soldiers to the other two city gates.

After all, they fought and were protected by the city walls, the two minor officials also had a little confidence.

Li Gannian stayed at the East City Gate with 4,000 miscellaneous soldiers, watching the Wu army crushing thousands of soldiers and horses, and pressing towards the city gate.

On the top of Danyang City, the Danyang soldiers were sweating all over the palms and backs of their hands.

They are now a group of miscellaneous soldiers, but a few hours ago, they were craftsmen who made blacksmiths in the workshop and miners who had never been on the battlefield.

Although I have trained on weekdays, I have never been on the battlefield.

The youngest is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the older one is forty or fifty years old.

"Uncle, do you think this battle can be won?"

"The little marquis took us to earn so much money, built a new house, married a wife, and lived a good life, and we can't lose face.

No matter if it wins or loses, just go to death. If you lose this battle, all your property in the city will be lost. What are you doing when you are alive? Our family is all in the county town, and we can't escape."

"After fighting this battle, I will go get married and have a few kids right away."

"Bah, you haven't grown all your hair yet. Have you saved enough money to get married?"

"Uncle, it's enough. We blacksmiths can build a house and get married after one year of work. I've been working as a blacksmith for two years!"

A group of blacksmiths laughed and scolded, holding the gunpowder guns in their hands, began to aim at the Wu army outside the city, and approaching step by step.

The Wu army arrived a hundred steps away from Danyang City.

But there was no movement on the top of the city wall and no fire was opened.

Li Gannian remained motionless, and looked nervously at Wu Jun under the city, waiting for them to move forward.

The gunpowder gun fired too slowly, so he only had one chance to shoot, so he must destroy the Wu Jun on the opposite side.

The blacksmiths were nervous, but they did not dare to fire without orders.

"Shoot the arrows and suppress the musketeers on the top of the city!"

Xiang Xian shouted.

A thousand elite infantry immediately set their bows and fired a volley at the top of the city.

Whoosh~swosh~swosh~!

Arrows flying all over the sky flew up to the city wall and landed on the city wall.

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!

These arrows fell on the defenders at the top of the city and hit the Danyang soldiers' helmets. The exquisite steel armor on their bodies was bounced away, almost tickling.

Unless it is shot in the gap between the armor, it can penetrate into the flesh.

But this is almost tiny and rarely shot.

On the top of the city, the three thousand Danyang soldiers were covered with the most exquisite steel armor of the Great Chu Dynasty. They did not dodge arrows and still stood in their original position with their heads down, without moving at all.

The bow and arrow can't hurt them at all.

Unless Wu Jun carried heavy weapons such as a catapult, he could not cause any damage to them from a distance.

"rush!"

Xiang Xian shouted.

After the Wu army took a hundred steps under the city, a round of archery shot suppressing the city.

Finally started charging.

A thousand miscellaneous soldiers were in front, and a thousand elite infantry followed closely behind and charged towards the top of the city.

"Fifty steps!"

"Open fire!"

"fire!"

Li Gannian yelled.

Suddenly, the dense sound of muskets fired again on the head of Danyang City.

A piece of gunpowder filled the smoke, and the thousands of soldiers in front fell down like wheat in the smoke.

Immediately afterwards, seventy small cannons fired at the same time.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Boom!"

More than seventy iron balls the size of fists flew out roaring and landed deep into the Wu army camp two hundred steps away.

Wherever you pass.

Dust splattered, a bloody and bloody mess.

Whether it was the war horses or soldiers, they were all knocked out by Tiewan.

Hundreds of people in the Wu army camp were immediately wailing and were attacked by iron ball cannons.

The Wu army camp was in chaos for a while.

"Run—! Take a big splash and rush to the top of the city!"

Xiang Xian roared desperately and waved his whip to drive away the chaotic soldiers to charge towards the top of the city.

After shooting a wave of projectiles, a thousand elite infantry of the Wu army had already rushed to the foot of the city wall. They set up hundreds of ladders and began to climb up desperately.

"Draw your sword!"

"Get on the spear!"

"Cut them down!"

Li Gannian yelled loudly, and had no time to fill in gunpowder and projectiles, pulled out his sword, and slashed at Wu Jun on the ladder on the top of the city.
