The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 361
Chen Tang is a very ambitious person, but he is also a very powerful person.

Under his encouragement, the morale of the soldiers of the Xin Kingdom was extremely high. Looking at the pass in the distance, they all had the desire to conquer in their eyes.

And the defenders of this pass complained endlessly, because Xinguo had no intention of forcibly attacking the city at all, but directly smashed the city with catapults, and the stones were thrown towards the pass quickly, smashing across the sky.

Chen Tang's plan was to directly smash down the city wall of the pass, and then send troops to attack directly. In this way, there was no need to even attack the city.

"Quick! Defend!"

The general on the top of the wall was still roaring, but what greeted him were countless stones thrown from the air.

Bang bang bang!
As the stones hit, the gaps in the city wall became even bigger. The city walls continued to make gaps, and the broken stones splashed out, as well as the soldiers who died under the stones. The entire city was in a mess.

The durability of the city wall has dropped rapidly. If it continues like this, it will not last long. It will only take less than half an hour at most. In less than half an hour, the pass city wall will be blasted through.

Historically, during the Ming Dynasty, probably around the time of Zhu Houzhao, in the Datong area of ​​the ancient city wall in Shanxi, the nomadic people simply tried to break through the city wall and went south to plunder.

The guard was full of anxiety, and the city was even more chaotic. The guard grabbed the soldiers around him and asked, "Have you notified Your Majesty?"

"It has been dispatched at a rapid pace, but general, we can't hold on until His Majesty's reinforcements come."

"Where are there any reinforcements? Now the domestic reinforcements have also been transferred to Wan Country, just to let His Majesty prepare early."

"General, what shall we do?"

"What should I do? At this moment, the only way to repay His Majesty is to fight to the death!"

Bang bang bang!
Another round of stones came over. Stones as big as millstones hit the city wall. The hurriedly running city defenders were knocked to the ground, with blood splattering on them.

The army of the new country does not attack at all, it just makes it clear that it will bombard the city with catapults, and will not attack the city at all, relying on the advantage of distance to do whatever it wants, and there is no defense at the top of this pass, and it is impossible to go out of the city to attack. Now open the city gate and go out to attack , that is courting death.

No matter how you look at it, this pass is bound to be broken.

Not long after, there was another round of stone throwing. This time, not far from the gate, there was a crack in a city wall, and another stone crashed down. an entrance.

Seeing that the city wall was broken, Chen Tang was shocked and shouted: "Come on! Occupy the city and kill all the enemy troops!"

"kill!"

All the Xinguo soldiers in front rushed forward as if they were crazy.

Under the cover of the catapult, there were not many effective defenses on the top of the city. It didn't take long for the soldiers of the Xin Kingdom to enter the pass along the broken city wall.

A Xinguo soldier rushed in, slashing down with a big knife in his hand, charging and slashing all the way, and several of the guarding soldiers who rushed over in front were killed by him.

Even if he was stabbed in the stomach by a single shot, the soldier from the Xin Kingdom grabbed the opponent's long spear and rushed forward, and then cut off the opponent's head with a knife.

With the influx of soldiers from the Xin Kingdom, there was a clanging sound of weapons clashing in the entire pass city. Those soldiers from the Xin Kingdom also rushed to the top of the city, while Chen Tang rushed in with the soldiers behind him.

"come!"

The guarding general was still roaring. Seeing the brave Xin Guo soldier rushing towards him, he directly held the big knife with both hands, and struck forward with a heavy blow. The chest of the Xin Guo soldier was cut in half, while he Pushing the Xin Guo soldier away, regardless of the blood sprayed on his face, he slashed at the Xin Guo soldier in front again.

On Chen Tang's side, he also led the soldiers of the New Kingdom to continuously kill the enemy. He passed by with a sword and directly pierced the bodies of those soldiers.

Afterwards, Chen Tang led a few soldiers and directly confronted the general who defended the city.

After all, the generals who defended the city were just ordinary generals. How could they be Chen Tang's opponent? After several fights, Chen Tang cut off his arm with a sword and pierced his throat with another sword.

The general who defended the city fell unwillingly.

Chen Tang drew out the bloody sword and when he saw the battle was over, he immediately shouted: "Clean the battlefield and bandage the wounds!"

The soldiers took a quick rest, the city gate was opened, and the catapult from outside pushed in.

Chen Tang just let the soldiers rest for a while, and the injured soldiers stayed to guard the city. He took the rest of the soldiers and the siege equipment and continued to advance towards Pinguo in the north.

The imperial capital of Pin country is basically in the northwest corner of Pingyuan County, breaking through from Guangmen Pass to the north, it is actually not far from the imperial capital of Pin country.

The news that Chen Tang led the army to attack the pass was also directly spread to the imperial capital of Pin Kingdom.

"Humph."

With a sullen face, Yipin Jiangshan threw the sent battle report on the table.

"What a good method. This new country is indeed ruthless. Knowing that my country, Pinguo, has its troops in Wan Kingdom, it actually sent troops to attack our country directly from the south."

One of the officials below clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Qinyang Pass is the gate of our country guarding Hejian County. Now it has been breached by Xin Kingdom. The opponent's army is very strong. We must make preparations early, otherwise we will be defeated by the opponent." Straight to the imperial capital."

"Preparation is of course a preparation. He Xinguo is waiting for my Pinguo to withdraw from Wanguo directly. However, I can't let him succeed. The army he sent must not have many troops. Although the offensive It's fierce, but it's impossible for him to really take down our imperial capital, if he sends troops to concentrate on defending the city, he won't be able to take it down."

Yipin Jiangshan can also distinguish which is more important. Wan Guo is very important, and if he withdraws part of his troops now, he will directly violate the covenant signed with Wan Guo. Probably gave it to him.

"Your Majesty, now that our country is in danger, why don't you withdraw your troops and return to aid?"

Yipin Jiangshan frowned: "What do you know, once the Wan country is destroyed, can our Pin country survive? As long as this side is defended, his Xin country has nothing to do. Also, isn't he trying to force our Pin country? Knowing that his Xinguo backyard is on fire, will he be able to hold it?"

Yipin Jiangshan said with his hands behind his back: "Cao Dianke, leave this matter to you. Send lobbyists to Hejian County to lobby those countries and cities to rebel against the new country."

Dianke came out: "Your Majesty, how many lobbyists do we need to send?"

"Nature is the more the better."

Not long after, troops were mobilized in Pinguo. In addition to the troops sent to help Wanguo defend the city, there were still about [-] troops in Pinguo, all of which were mobilized to the imperial capital and nearby cities.

Another one is that the counselors and lobbyists sent by Pinguo started to leave for Hejian County one after another.
