The defenders of Rongcheng were very confused, but Yang Hongwen and his two men, who were on the outside, had a comprehensive view and were even more confused.
"What was that rumbling sound just now?"
"Is this how Yong's army attacked the city wall?"
"In just a few breaths, half a mile of the city wall was lost?"
Several questions in a row made Yang Hongwen more and more confused. He could not understand what had just happened.
"Mo...could it be a magic spell?" Hundreds of households were trembling with fear.
Things that are beyond the scope of human understanding and appear to be deadly weapons can naturally scare people like this.
At this time, Yang Hongwen said: "I said just now that it would take three to five days to capture the city, but now it seems... I'm afraid it won't even take three hours!"
Then he said: "Such a strong army...can we really defeat it?"
Although he was asking himself, Baihu on the side replied: "Sir, we... can't stop it at all. No matter how many troops we gather, we can't stop it!"
Despair, endless despair, emerged in Yang Hongwen's mind.
He thought of the southern gentry and Prince Ning's plans, which seemed so ridiculous at this moment.
These people want half of the country, and even think about going north to conquer, but now it seems that they are all wishful thinking.
"We have to go back quickly!"
Hearing this, Baihu was surprised and asked: "Sir, didn't you just say that you had to wait another day?"
Yang Hongwen stood up and asked: "Do you think there will be any suspense next?"
Before the hundred households could reply, another explosion was heard from the direction of the city wall, and then another group of city defenders fell down.
"We have to go back quickly, if we are late... we will die!"
"yes!"
Yang Hongwen and the others left in a hurry, but the fighting on the city wall had already begun.
The Yong army's army was in a strict formation, and the defenders in front of it were directly forced to retreat step by step.
"Hold them, hold them back!" the officer from the rear yelled.
But no matter how loud the sound was, it was useless, because the morale of his subordinates was already in chaos, and the few grenades that had just flown out once again shocked everyone who came close.
Not to mention resisting, these retreating soldiers were focused on retreating at this moment because they thought the robes behind them were blocking their retreat.
In fact, Li Jinzhong had no hope for the garrison on the city wall, so he organized a defense under the city wall with the troops arriving one after another.
The nearly 20,000 people who came here have now formed a tight military formation, waiting for the soldiers of the Yong Army to come and fight with blood.
Of course, this was just Li Jinzhong's wishful thinking, because the soldiers who formed the military formation were actually extremely scared inside.
In other words, as long as the Yong army throws a few more grenades, it is not impossible for these people to collapse on the spot.
Finally, nearly a thousand defenders participating on the city wall, including the commander, all fled and fled directly along the city wall to the distance.
The Yong army successfully occupied the city wall, and more and more soldiers began to move inside, further expanding their advantage.
"Fire the arrow!"
Not only the defenders of the city had bows and arrows, but the Yong army was also equipped with these equipment.
At this moment, they were condescending and could take advantage of their arrows. The rain of arrows directly made the defenders in front unable to lift their heads.
After holding on for this period of time, Yong's army quickly drove down the city wall and began to form a formation inside the city.
Soon the army of a thousand men was deployed, with large shields and spears in front, archers and crossbowmen at the rear, and guards on both sides with swords and shields. This was a perfect military formation.
"Attack..." Qianhu raised his sword and shouted.
With neat steps, the military formation began to move forward. There were nearly 5,000 enemy troops in front of them.
Although there were many people on the other side, they were on the verge of collapse at this moment, and were suppressed by a thousand Yong soldiers just based on their momentum.
When the Yong army is advancing, more soldiers will form formations in the rear, and they will attack in other directions.
When the two armies were fifty meters apart, the crossbowmen on the tower stopped to prevent accidental injuries.
"Long live His Highness King Yong!"
Qianhu at the front shouted this, which immediately raised the fighting spirit of his soldiers to the top and caused a large number of people to follow him and shout.
Generally speaking, this "slogan" is shouted in desperate situations, but shouting it now feels like overkill.
The reason for this choice is that these thousands of households want to defeat the opponent at once and get more credit for themselves.
Seeing the Yong army fighting like chickens in front, the Rongcheng defenders in front were so frightened that the hand holding the knife was trembling.
Unbeknownst to them, the officers standing at the back were extremely frightened.
What is the Tiger and Wolf Division? The Yong army that was killing them in front of them explained it deeply to them.
What's even worse is that there are more Yong troops entering the city. I'm afraid the city can no longer be defended. What's the point of them insisting on staying here?
When many people were thinking about this problem, Yong Jun from the opposite side accelerated and rushed over.
For a moment, the shouts of killing were loud, and the troops from both sides rushed together. The scene looked particularly messy.
"kill……"
Outside the city, looking at the lowered suspension bridge in front, the three commanders made the horses move forward.
From beginning to end, they were very calm, and now their faces were filled with smiles.
"The main force of our army has entered the city, and the bandit army is already trying to catch a turtle in a urn. We can even win the city of Chengdu!" Ding Hong said with a smile on his face.
Zheng Fan picked up the kettle and took a sip, then smiled and said: "Capturing a fortified city is as easy as drinking water!"
Having said this, the two looked at each other and laughed, making the atmosphere even more relaxed and harmonious.
But as the general, Chen Yuhe could not relax at this time and said: "Although the city is broken, what the prince wants is a complete city, so order must be restored next, otherwise..."
Chen Yuhe didn’t need to say what he said next, the two people present knew it very well.
Just listen to Ding Hong say: "Master Chen, don't worry... We have already informed you about this matter in advance, and the people below know what to do!"
Then Zheng Fan said: "In my opinion, it's better now... let's convey the good news to the prince!"
Chuan Jie only meant it on the surface. The reason why Zheng Fan was so eager was actually to take credit from people like himself.
As the commander-in-chief, Chen Yuhe couldn't help but think more. He just heard him say: "The errand is not done yet, so there is no rush to pass on victory!"
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Yuhe replied: "We must catch those who are leading the rebellion!"
No one can doubt this. The purpose of their attack on the city was to punish these people.
Just listen to Zheng Fan say: "This matter is simple. Now there are our cavalry blocking the city gates. No one can escape!"
Ding Hong continued: "It's easy to catch these people!"
Several people talked all the way and soon arrived at the city gate. The fighting nearby had ended.
The troops blocking Nancheng had all retreated northward, but the Yong army did not expend much effort.
Strictly speaking, the army defending the city has reached its end.
"Only kill the first culprit, don't disarm him!"
"Only kill the first culprit, don't disarm him!"
In the room, listening to the faint shouts coming from outside, Wang Baozhen shouted: "Come here, come here..."
"Is there anyone alive? Is there anyone here?"
There was no movement in the yard at first, and most of the people guarding the place had fled.
But when Wang Baozhen kept shouting, he still attracted a living person.
"Please do your best and stop making trouble...don't attract those people here!"
Looking at the clerk who appeared at the door, Wang Baozhen immediately asked: "Who? Who did you bring here?"
"Yong Jun!"
"Yong's army has entered the city? Where is Li Jinzhong? Where are the 30,000 troops in the city?" Wang Baozhen stretched his neck and asked.
"Failed, all defeated..."
"All defeated? How long did it take?" Wang Baozhen was shocked.
The clerk said helplessly: "In less than half an hour, all the 30,000 troops are gone!"
In an instant, Wang Baozhen collapsed on the spot like a deflated rubber ball.
"In less than half an hour, the 30,000-strong army was defeated. Yong's army... was so strong?"
