Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 306 Showdown
He found that for the new siege ladder, the Great Song Army no longer poured fire oil or threw stones, but occasionally a few pieces of wood fell down, but the weight was much lighter.

"They are going to be unable to hold on anymore, nothing is falling down, warriors, keep going!"

This sentence also gave the Northern Han army a great encouragement in time.

In fact, the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty had already discovered this phenomenon.

Ever since, the offensive of the barbarians has once again intensified.

"Your Highness! Rolling logs, rocks, hot oil, there's not much left..."

In fact, Zhao Dezhao has been on the tower all the time, how could he not know about this plot.

He nodded expressionlessly, expressing his understanding, but his face became even darker.

"General Shi, go to the gate of the city, bring a thousand soldiers, and set up a mandarin duck formation. If the city gate is breached, you must use the mandarin duck formation to block the enemy. On this floor, I will defend!"

"Yes!" Shi Yuanliang agreed, and immediately led the troops.

In order to create an advantage on the scene.Cheng Yuanling put the main force on this side, and had no time to besiege the other three walls, so the sergeants in the city were barely enough.

Zhao Dezhao ordered Shi Yuanliang to lead 1000 people to guard the city gate, and left another 1000 people to rest as a reserve team. He led 1000 people to guard the top of the city.

The exhaustion of stones and wood for defending the city directly affected the situation of the battle, and the siege tree could no longer take care of it.

The sergeants could only continue to fight to the death with the Nanman army that kept charging towards the city.

And below, countless Northern Han soldiers carried big trees and kept hitting the city gate.

Shi Yuanliang dispatched [-] shield bearers in front, [-] sergeants in the rear, and [-] sergeants formed a mandarin duck formation, firmly guarding the gate of the city.

"Your Highness! The situation is not good now, why don't you go down and ride your horse first, and if it breaks, General Shi Yuanliang and I will protect you from the city..."

Before Lu Juan finished speaking, Zhao Dezhao frowned.

Shouted sharply, "Stand back!"

Lu Juan felt a sharp pain in her heart, her eyes were filled with tears, but she had no choice but to retreat without saying a word.

Zhao Dezhao saw it and couldn't bear it, but he couldn't say a word of apology.

This scene, no one wants to happen, but it must happen,
Lu Juan, who loves her lover, naturally doesn't want him to die in battle, and Zhao Dezhao, who loves Lu Juan, couldn't bear to scold her in public, but with the situation like this, it is impossible for this thing not to happen.

"Soldiers! Today is the time for us to fight for the country and the people. No matter what, I, Zhao Dezhao, will be with you!"

Zhao Dezhao drew out his long sword, risked his own life and rushed directly to the tower.

Thousands of Song soldiers also roared like a thunderstorm, and the sound spread for several miles.

"I am willing to fight to the death for His Highness!"

"I am willing to fight to the death for His Highness!"

Cheng Yuanling outside the city couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he heard the thunderous roar, and felt sorry for him.

If the wise and wise Chinese are so fearless about death, then who can defeat them?

Shi Yuanliang, who was under the tower, had tears in his eyes when he heard it. He thought the tower had been breached.

But the city gate was about to be breached, he obeyed the military order and didn't even glance up at the city tower.

Just focus on this front.

Your Highness is a man of ten thousand gold. In order to lure the enemy, he risked his life and fought bloody battles without retreating. How could he leave the most important position at this time as a general by himself.

After a while, there was another burst of cheers on the tower.Zhao Dezhao and Lu Juan, who took the lead and sacrificed their lives, finally led everyone to wipe out all the Northern Han troops who attacked the tower.

Everyone couldn't help but burst into cheers!

However, almost at the same time, the northern Han army under the siege tree, which had been covered by the top of the siege just now, finally broke open the originally strong gate.

Even though the city was broken, thousands of Northern Han soldiers cheered and threw down the giant logs, rushing into the city in chaos.

"Kill them all!"

"Not a single one!"

"Damn Han people! I want to kill you all..."

Suddenly!When the gunpowder smoke cleared, what suddenly poured into the eyes of the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty turned out to be a huge formation of up to a thousand people.

Although there were many people, there was no sound at all, so no one noticed at all.

This team is very strange, with shield swordsmen in the front, spearmen in the middle, and archers and crossbowmen in the back.

As soon as the city gate was broken, the Northern Han army rushed in.

The men moved immediately.I saw the sword and shield hand in the front row and the spearman in the middle suddenly squat down together, and the two hundred archers behind them flashed out, including one hundred archers and one hundred crossbowmen.

First the archer releases the arrow, and then draws the arrow and reloads the string.The crossbowmen immediately fired their crossbows.

This crossbow is the Zhuge crossbow jointly researched by Zhao Dezhao and Zhuge Liang, and each crossbow has ten arrows.

The momentum was very strong, and the thousands of Northern Han soldiers who rushed up first met the thousand crossbow arrows head-on, almost without any damage, and nine out of ten hit the target.

Because the city gate itself was very narrow, and there were so many Northern Han troops, everyone rushed in almost close together. The area covered by the crossbow just covered the entire gate.

Suddenly, there was a loud scream, and hundreds of Northern Han soldiers were hit by crossbow arrows at the same time.

More than half of them were killed on the spot, and it was very difficult for the rest to turn around and run, because even if they were next to a dead body, it was very difficult to turn around.

This was Shi Yuanliang's whistle. The sword and shield hands were still squatting, but the spearmen stood up, took a step forward, and stabbed the one-foot-two-foot-long spears into the bodies of the Northern Han army who were still alive.

There was another scream.

Even so, dozens of Northern Han sergeants survived.Stepping on the corpses of their companions one after another, trying to escape,

Shi Yuanliang whistled again, and the sword and shield hands got up one after another, caught up with the Northern Han army, and hacked to death from behind.

In just a moment, after the city gate was broken, the thousands of Northern Han troops that poured in were all wiped out.

The last trace of the flames of war was extinguished.

The sunlight reflected on the piles of dead bodies was extremely bright and dazzling.Because under the sun is a pile of corpses and bright red blood.

Not far away, Cheng Yuanling and countless Northern Han troops couldn't help shaking when they saw the astonishing scene inside the city gate.

What kind of magic did the Han army use to wipe out all the Northern Han warriors who were still invincible just now in an instant.

"Zhao Dezhao! You...do you dare to come out and fight to the death!"

Cheng Yuan's eyes are tearing apart.

"Why don't you dare! Cheng Yuanling, I am Han general Shi Yuanliang, do you dare to fight me?"

When Cheng Yuanling heard Shi Yuanliang, he couldn't help but gasped.

The names of Song Fang, Fang Zhengqi and Shi Yuanliang were well known even in the Northern Han Dynasty.

On the contrary, Gao Huaide and others are not so famous.

Because according to the geographical relationship, Fangzheng Qishi Yuanliang is the Song Army general who can always endanger the Northern Han Dynasty

When Cheng Yuanling heard Shi Yuanliang's call, he was silent for a while. The situation was very embarrassing. He believed that Zhao Dezhao was not his opponent, so he dared to call directly.
