Chen Jing looked at the slowly approaching Song Army infantry phalanxes in the distance, and felt that his throat was a little dry and his mouth was bitter.

The Song army's attack came so suddenly that so far, there has been no response from Nanyang.

Everyone's attention is focused on the direction of Shangqiu and Songcheng. Everyone is guessing that Jiangning wants to capture these two places, and then the troops will advance towards Kaifeng.

But no one thought that the much-anticipated Shangqiu and Songcheng were just a cover, and Nanyang was their real target.

The connection between Yingzhou, Caizhou, and Chenzhou was lost, and tens of thousands of Song troops descended from the mountain like ferocious tigers, approaching Tangzhou. Their forwards had already crossed Fangcheng Mountain, directly threatening Nanyang.

Astonishingly, this unit was the direct line unit of Xiao Cheng from Jiangning, the Jiangning garrison led by Han Zu.

This shows that this is a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time.

Chen Jing knew very well that now he was afraid that he could no longer count on reinforcements from Biyang and Deng County.

Whether it is Zheng Qin or Yu Hu, I am afraid they will send reinforcements back to Nanyang as soon as possible.

Xinye is just a fulcrum of Nanfang protruding from the front, and its importance is far from compared with Nanyang.

Keep it!

Must keep it!

The last time the Song army attacked Xinye, didn't they just defend it?

In the past few months since he took office, the only thing he has done is to continuously recruit civilians to heighten and strengthen the city wall, and the moat is connected to the Baihe River.

Xinye City is surrounded by water on three sides. The only area where the Song Army can launch an attack is the narrow area in the south that is less than a hundred steps wide. If they really dare to come from there, they will not hesitate to let the corpses pile up like a mountain in that area of ​​100 steps.

During the Tokyo coup, Chen Jing and Dai Wei opened the city gates and welcomed Qu Zhen into the city. As Qu Zhen came to power, the two of them naturally received their due rewards. Dai Wei is still leading troops in Tokyo and has become Qu Zhen.

One of Zhen's army guards, Chen Jing, was sent to Xinye and became the commander of thousands of troops in Xinye.

Xinye was in the front line and was on the front line of the battle with the Song Army. The sergeants were all veterans who had been baptized by war. It must be said that Qu Zhen still valued Chen Jing's ability.

And Chen Jing also knew very well that only by guarding Xinye could he save his own life, the lives of his family, and achieve prosperity and wealth.

Their families all live in Kaifeng City.

In name, it was to allow them to enjoy better things, but in reality, it was a disguised form of coercion by Qu Zhen.

If you dare to do anything inappropriate, the first person to be unlucky will be your own family.

"Ship!" A soldier next to him suddenly shouted in a trembling voice.

Chen Jing suddenly turned around, and on the Baihe River, several horse boats were heading towards Xinye with their sails full.

Without hesitation, they plunged into the moat, which was barely big enough for a horse boat to enter.

At the same time, outside Xinye City, the Song Army's war drums suddenly beat. Instead of launching an attack from the narrow attack surface as Chen Jing imagined, the Song Army attacked from three sides at the same time.

They directly used horse boats to block the entire moat. The soldiers crossed the moat and walked on flat ground.

"Rockets, tung oil, burn these ships, burn these ships!" Chen Jing yelled.

A bundle of thatched grass was ignited and pushed down, jumping towards the horse boat. Rain-like rockets shot down from the top of the city, and the sails on the horse boat were instantly burned before they could be lowered.

When they got up, some Song soldiers cut off the cables with knives and hurriedly pushed the sails off the ship. There were also soldiers holding poles to push out the rolling fireballs.

The Song army took advantage of the soldiers on the city to deal with the horse boats and swarmed in.

Accompanied by the sound of the God's arm crossbow collapsing and shooting, the soldiers who emerged from the top of the city suddenly fell down like wheat.

Immediately, the city began to fight back.

The defenders at the top of the city, suppressed by the dense rain of arrows below the city, could no longer care about the few horse boats, so more soldiers advanced directly to the city via horse boats.

Accompanied by a loud banging sound, the sharpened and thick big tree poles violently collided against the city gate. With every impact, the entire city wall seemed to be shaking.

The iron structure on the ladder hooked the wall stack. The soldiers held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, climbing up as dexterously as apes. The soldiers on the city raised stones and smashed them down hard, beating them one by one.

The wood was attached to the ladder, and the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, knocking the Song troops down the city. The boiling gold juice even poured down, making the attackers howl like ghosts and wolves.

Arrows rained down from the city one after another, and the soldiers on the city were mopped down row by row.

At this time, the soldiers had no thoughts and were just repeating actions one after another mechanically. The only voice that was still ringing in their heads was the command of the commander.

Either you die or I die.

At such a moment, there is actually no difference between humans and beasts.

Wang Zhu squinted his eyes and looked at the artillery that was finally set up behind the horse boat.

This is an oak cannon disassembled from Jiang Xiong's warship.

In Jiang Xiong's words, it can probably fire only three or five rounds before it falls apart.

There are dozens of oak cannons, each of which can fire three to five rounds, which is nearly two hundred rounds, which is enough. As for this cannon, it seems to be a temporary item. It is no pity if it is damaged. I heard that in

Bronze cannons have appeared in Wei Wu's army.

After capturing Nanyang, I must ask the chief assistant for dozens of gates.

If not, he has one in the eastern part of the city, but he doesn't have one in the middle part of the city.

The attack was repulsed, and the first round of attacks suffered heavy casualties. Amidst the shrill sound of gold, the fierce and fearless Sirius army had no choice but to retreat slowly.

Waves of cheers erupted in the city. At this moment, behind the horse boat and beside dozens of wooden cannons, an officer shouted: "Fire!"

A violent explosion sounded, and clouds of white smoke filled the city, covering all the Song troops under the city.

On the city, balls of fire suddenly burst into flames, and screams could be heard one after another.

When they were happiest, they encountered the most violent attacks.

The sound of the retreating Song army below the city turned into the fierce sound of the attacking war drums. The Song army that had been retreating just now suddenly surged over again like the resurgence of sea water.

The Xinye defenders had only heard that the Song army had a powerful weapon that sounded like thunder, but they had never seen the Song army use it.

This weapon was only used once when Jiang Xiong's navy competed with Liu Zheng's Hanjiang navy during the rescue of Xiangyang, and then was shelved in the Shangge. Today is his second appearance.

Liu Jing is dead!

Don't die with peace of mind.

He was sitting slantedly on the parapet, and a piece of iron from the explosion sliced ​​his throat by accident.

Xinye Castle was destroyed.

The more than 5,000 Zhao troops killed hundreds of people and injured more than a thousand, and the rest were all taken prisoner.

Immediately, these prisoners were taken advantage of.

Jiang Xiong's navy sailed into the Baihe River and loaded the Sirius army onto the ship. Then these prisoners became fiber trackers, and the warship headed all the way along the Baihe River, approaching Nanyang.

As for Biyang and Deng County, Wang Zhu ignored them at all.

That was a matter between Fan Yifei and Yue Teng.

The two armies were not allowed to go to Nanyang for rescue and were held back firmly. When the armies led by Luo Xin and Han Zou met at the foot of Nanyang City and defeated Nanyang, the two armies would naturally collapse without a fight.

Yu Hu was stationed in Biyang, with an army of ten thousand under his command.

But now, he was in a dilemma, and he really regretted it to death.

Why go out of Biyang? As a result, we are now unable to advance or retreat. If we are not careful, the whole army will be destroyed.

When he heard that the Song Army's magic soldiers had descended from the sky and that the soldiers and horses had arrived at the square formation, and the whole of Nanyang was in panic, Yu Hu immediately organized his troops and headed for Nanyang to rescue Jie Bao in Nanyang.

Like Deng Qin, he was Cui Ang's confidant in the past, but the last time Qu Zhen was guarding Xinye alone, the two of them sized up the situation and helped Qu Zhen in time, and thus boarded Qu Zhen's chariot to serve as the commander.

Cui Ang pulled King Zhao from his position, which was considered a great effort.

Afterwards, the two of them were promoted to official positions and were still stationed in Biyang and Deng County. However, they still felt a little guilty, fearing that Qu Zhen would seize some leverage and take them down.

Once people like them lose their military power, they will probably lose their heads and places.

Therefore, if they can seize the opportunity, they will express themselves well.

But this time it went wrong.

As soon as he left Biyang, the Song army followed him.

Abandoning Biyang, thousands of cavalry attacked his army of 7,000 men.

He thought that even if the Song army came, they would attack the empty Biyang first. In Biyang, he only left 3,000 old and weak soldiers. However, the city of Biyang is high and steep, and even if the opponent takes it, it will take a lot of time.

Day, if this happened, I would have gone far away.

Unexpectedly, Song Jun ignored Biyang at all and instead took a fancy to this big fish.

Yu Hu looked at the opponent's cavalry looming in the distance, and his heart was filled with false anger. He didn't fight, didn't move, and just followed. This is the most painful thing. If he keeps doing this, he will find himself sooner or later.

The loopholes defeated him in one fell swoop.

"Brother, we can't go on like this. There are seven thousand of us, and we are eating horse chews. If we continue like this, there won't be enough food. At this point, we can't even count on the rear to transport food!" He called his brother Yu Hong.
To be continued...
