A place several miles away can be reached in an instant.
According to the advance deployment, Xu Fang should have led the remaining Tianzhu Battalion to the front at this time to meet Wu Sheng and others who were fighting fiercely with the city defense forces in the city.
After all, the opening of the city gate is not considered a complete success. It must be firmly held in place so that the fresh forces of the heavenly army can pour in. Only then can the overall situation be considered settled.
After waiting all night, Wang Zheng was already depressed, but he couldn't wait to vent his anger. After giving instructions to Xu Fang, he suddenly lifted the reins, and saw the horse neighing, its hooves kicking up dust, but it rushed like an arrow.
Go up.
Seeing this, although Xu Fang was a little helpless, the morale of the soldiers behind him was greatly boosted.
Since the battle with Wang Ling, Wang Zheng has not been in charge as the head coach for a long time.
...
Although the suspension bridge and the city gate were lost one after another, fortunately for Pengcheng's army, the city was still under control at this time.
In addition to the constant noise and shouting, countless torches were lit, illuminating the city above and below as brightly as day.
At this time, they also saw clearly the people and horses in the distance, and Dubbo suddenly turned pale in horror.
This...how come there are so many people?
In a panic, he was worried about the safety of the city. After thinking for a moment, he quickly led the defenders to the city gate to provide support.
Neiying opened the city gate and lowered the drawbridge. Although he didn't know exactly how many people from the other side had sneaked into the city, Du Bo had already made a decision in his mind.
You must stop the enemy's momentum in front of the suspension bridge, so you still have a chance to save the situation!
That's what he thought.
The suspension bridge is narrow, so the advantage of having a large number of enemies cannot be fully utilized. Our soldiers are all elites. As long as we block the enemy from entering the city in front of the suspension bridge, it won't take long. As long as those who deserve to be killed are killed,
Just raise the suspension bridge again!
With this idea in mind, the faces of this group of people showed panic, eagerness, and more importantly, determination.
When they came to the suspension bridge, they happened to see a cavalry trapped in the formation. In a moment, they crossed the suspension bridge and came over to kill them.
It is Wang Zheng.
The third-level riding skill was used with all his strength, and it seemed that the ordinary horse was used to the extreme. It ran so fast that it actually put some distance away from the soldiers following closely behind, and it became like riding alone.
"The thief is alone, kill him quickly!"
"This person must be the leader of the thieves!"
Upon seeing this, the Pengcheng soldiers were overjoyed, and with shouts, dozens of people surrounded them in an instant.
Suddenly, a sharp scream was heard piercing the air.
But Wang Zheng sneered, flicked his wrist, and swept his sword horizontally. He saw the green light surge and the sword wind suddenly blow.
The next moment, countless gold and iron fragments were flying all over the sky, and there were even more screams.
With just one blow, he easily knocked through all the obstacles around him.
"Cross the bridge quickly!"
While letting out a loud shout to urge the Heavenly Army behind him, Wang Zheng was brave as an expert. When he lifted the reins, the horse seemed to be infected by his pride, and it also let out a melodious neigh, and jumped up at the same time.
Rush forward.
After nearly a hundred Pengcheng soldiers in formation were slaughtered by Wang Zheng alone, the heavenly army troops also arrived one after another.
Amid the roaring killing cries, one group after another entered the city.
When the sun first emerged, the outer city of Xuzhou had been lost due to the combined efforts of both inside and outside!
...
After capturing the outer city, Pengcheng's army organized several counterattacks to recapture the outer city gate, but it was a fool's errand.
But Wang Zheng did not immediately pursue the victory.
For one thing, as one of the most powerful passes in the world, even if the outer city is lost, the Pengcheng army, which has awakened at this time, relies on the inner city, and is not a soft persimmon that can be defeated in one blow.
Secondly, Wang Zheng fell into his old habits again.
This time, Wu Sheng certainly accomplished a great feat and captured the main city gate and the suspension bridge at the same time, much more than expected, but the price he paid was not light!
Five hundred soldiers were executed from heaven, and more than half of them were lost in this battle!
Wang Zheng felt distressed, and after observing the situation in the inner city, he found that countless weapons and horses had been erected on the top of the city.
Crossbows, archery towers, archers...all are available.
The most surprising thing is that there is a trench between the inner city and the outer city.
Is this gross?
When the Tianzhu camp cavalry entered the city and wanted to launch a direct attack on the inner city, they immediately suffered a heavy loss, leaving Wang Zheng speechless.
Is there any reason to have trenches inside the outer walls?
Unexpected situations happened one after another. The former was an unexpected surprise, and the latter was an unexpected change.
After this, it was discovered that his army had been rushing all night to the outside of Pengcheng since yesterday evening, and the cold wind blew all night. At this time, he might be mentally invigorated, but his body was actually very weak. Wang Zheng thought about it again and again, but he was unwilling to hesitate any more.
Damage to the siege.
Under such circumstances, the two sides held a stalemate from rooster crow to dawn.
During this period, Pengcheng's army was urgently mobilizing troops and gathering the strength of the entire city to prepare for the attack.
On Wang Zheng's side, the soldiers were ordered to take turns to rest while filling in the trenches.
Of course, Pengcheng's army would not just sit idly by, so there were countless flying arrows, raining down like rain.
At this time, I would like to thank you again.
Before planning to attack Pengcheng, the original plan was for Wu Sheng to seize control of the city gate, and at the same time, let the remaining Tianzhu battalion cross the moat. A two-pronged approach, after seizing control of the city head and city gate, then
Lower the drawbridge.
Because no matter how powerful the Tianzhu camp was, both Wang Zheng and Mi Heng felt that the manpower of 500 people was limited after all, and they had no hope of capturing the suspension bridge.
In order to cross the river, Wang Zheng had previously prepared dozens of wooden boats, which could carry a thousand people in total.
Although it was not used when crossing the river in the end, it was useful when filling in the trench.
Wang Zheng had an idea and asked the soldiers to hold a shield in one hand and a horn in each hand to overturn the wooden boat. This overturning turned it into a natural protective umbrella.
Considering the physical quality of the system soldiers under his command, and the fact that the wooden ship was built on a temporary basis, it was not too heavy, but it really had an effect.
When the sky was dark and bright, even though the enemy generals on the city top kept shouting and the rain of arrows never stopped, but with this method, after several waves, no one was injured or killed among the soldiers filling the trenches.
When all the trenches were filled, Wu Sheng, Xu Fang and other generals, who had not slept all night, burst into laughter at the same time and expressed great admiration for Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng is not very proud. When it comes to finding new ideas and finding new ways, he is a modern person who is used to thinking without a framework, and he does have some advantages over the ancients who stick to the rules.
about there.
After looking at the sky, Wang Zheng was about to turn around and discuss with the generals to launch another offensive, when his footsteps suddenly stopped, and then his eyes turned to the head of the inner wall.
With his extraordinary eyesight, he immediately noticed that there was an extra person there.
Judging by his attire, could he be the commander of Pengcheng Kingdom?
While I was thinking about it, I heard a shout.
"General below the city, no matter which prince you are, please listen to what I have to say."
"My Pengcheng city is strong, with sufficient food and grass, and over 10,000 elite soldiers. So I let you sneak attack the outer city at night, but it was impossible to break through."
"The Art of War says, "Surround the city by ten. You have come from afar, and the soldiers are tired. Not to mention that the number of people can be seen at a glance, but there are only ten thousand people. How can we attack the city?"
The general's voice was loud, he analyzed it, and then said: "You can't attack, so why waste time?"
"I have discussed with the Prime Minister before coming here. Our city is secure. However, if you remain entrenched and refuse to retreat, you will inevitably disturb the people and make them uneasy."
"I came here to send a message. If you are short of food and pay, you should try your best to satisfy us despite your words. In this way, it would be nice to stop fighting and get the best of both worlds. Wouldn't it be nice?"
These words clearly called for a strike, but secretly shaken the morale of Wang Zheng and the army.
"What a load of nonsense."
Wang Zheng sneered, glanced at his side, and saw Xu Fang understood the idea, walked out of the formation, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly:
"The captain of a country speaks out in front of the battle. He thought he would have something noble to say, but he didn't expect to make such despicable remarks!"
