The waste prince is so fierce

Seeing this, Gong Yangjie immediately changed his strategy.

He no longer attacked the city by force, but instead ordered his troops to go around the city and prepare to attack the top of the city.

On the top of the city wall, Li Quan frowned, "I didn't expect the Southern Barbarians to know how to disperse their attacks? It looks like we need to send more people to patrol."

Afterwards, Li Quan commanded his soldiers to continue the attack and prevent the enemy from climbing up the city wall.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate.

"Report! Your Highness, it's bad, the eastern city wall has also been attacked by the enemy."

A herald rushed in.

Li Quan's face changed slightly, and he walked down hurriedly: "What's going on?"

"Your Highness, please look!"

The soldier pulled out a topographic map and spread it out on the table.

"Your Highness, please look, this is the topographic map of the East City area."

Li Quan frowned and looked for a moment, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

Due to its geographical conditions, the Dongcheng area is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

However, the Nanman army chose this place as the attack point.

"It seems that the enemy's intention is very clear. They want to take over the East City area first. Moreover, they are very familiar with the terrain of the East City area." Li Quan pondered.

The Dongcheng area is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the terrain is complex.

This terrain is suitable for cavalry charges, but it is a nightmare for ordinary armies.

Since the Southern Barbarians know the terrain well, they must be the elite among the elite and well-trained.

This battle is not optimistic.

Li Quan’s brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"What should we do?" Li Quan asked.

"Your Highness, I think we should avoid them for now! The enemy's fighting power is very fierce, I'm afraid we can't stop them, so it's better to retreat back to the city."

Li Quan's deputy general suggested.

"It's easy for you to say that. If we all retreat, who will guard the East City? Are we going to let those people take the responsibility for us?" Li Quan retorted.

"But……"

The deputy general still wanted to persuade him.

"Enough!" Li Quan waved his hand to interrupt the deputy general. He looked up at the enemy army in the distance and gritted his teeth and said, "This city is the foundation of the frontier. If we retreat, what will happen to the people? Are we really going to watch the southern barbarian army slaughter our people?"

"But, Your Highness, this battle cannot be fought..."

"Shut up!" Li Quan shouted coldly.

He glanced at the deputy general and said in a cold tone: "Are you afraid of death?"

"Your subordinate..." The deputy general lowered his head.

"Humph!"

Li Quan snorted coldly.

Of course he was afraid of death, otherwise he would not have suggested retreating at this critical moment.

Li Quan stared at the eastern wall, narrowed his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he slowly uttered a sentence: "Pass the order down, prepare to meet the enemy."

He turned around, took a step forward, and walked towards the city wall.

The deputy general was stunned and hurried to follow.

"You are right. This city is not only the foundation of people's lives. Our people need our protection. Therefore, we must not retreat. Even if we die here, we will have no regrets."

Li Quan spoke each word with firm determination.

His eyes were filled with determination and a strong sense of tragedy, which made him look more solemn.

This is the style of a commander-in-chief.

"Your Highness is heroic." The deputy general said with sincere admiration.

Li Quan smiled faintly and shook his head without responding.

He walked to the battlement and looked into the distance.

The dark mass of southern barbarian troops outside the city were constantly attacking the city gates, and dense rain of arrows covered the city.

Many southern barbarian soldiers fell in a pool of blood, groaning in pain and struggling to stand up.

However, the bright red blood dyed the soil red, stimulating the bloodthirsty nature of the Nanman soldiers, causing them to rush towards the city gate even more frantically.

"Boom..." The deafening sound of footsteps resounded through the night sky, and the southern barbarian army was less than five meters away from the city gate.

Li Quan's expression gradually became serious. He gripped the hilt of the knife, tensed his muscles, and was ready to draw his knife and charge at any time.

This is the final decisive battle.

The southern barbarian army had already approached within three meters of the city wall, and was only two meters away from the top of the city.

Li Quan is ready for battle.

Suddenly, the soldiers in the front row discovered a barely perceptible flash of light in the Nanman army, followed by an earth-shaking sound.

The camp of the Southern Barbarian army was in chaos.

Looking at this scene, Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the bombs we have been researching during this period are still useful."

The southern barbarian army was stunned and dared not attack for a while and they all fled.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the guards on the city wall climbed up to the top of the city wall one after another.

"Kill!"

There were bursts of shouts of killing.

Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief, finally holding on. He looked back at the north gate, feeling vaguely worried.

The enemy in the north is more terrifying and more fearless than those in the east.

Because the tribe attacking the city was the Wanyan tribe, the most powerful of the three tribes.

Li Quan took a deep breath and gave the order: "Blow the horn and beat the drum to cheer!"

He knew that the outcome of this battle was already decided.

However, he was unwilling to admit defeat in such a humiliating way. Therefore, it was important to boost the morale of the troops.

dong dong——

The sound of war drums rang out from the city wall.

Then, a melodious and majestic drum sound came from the city and floated in the night sky.

"Woo——"

Then the city gates opened wide.

Li's personal guards led thousands of soldiers and horses out of the city, their target was the enemy.

At the same time, a cavalry unit rushed out of the city and galloped towards the west.

They were going to get help.

…………

On the other side, in the camp of the Nanman army.

Wanyan Zongbing sat on a chair, listening to the fighting and shouting outside, with a ferocious smile on his lips.

"Hahaha, they are indeed a bunch of idiots." Wanyan Zongbing said sarcastically.

It turned out that during this period of time, he had been unable to contain himself and wanted to break through the city gate.

However, he could never find a good opportunity.

Until now, the Tiemu tribe has helped them attract a large number of troops.

This resulted in a brief shortage of troops at the north gate.

This created the best conditions for the Wanyan tribe to break out.

"Attack immediately and capture this broken city for me!" Wanyan Zongbing said excitedly.

He waved.

Suddenly, the southern barbarian army surged forward like a tide.

……

East city wall.

"Report, Your Highness, the enemy has broken into the city and is advancing towards the city wall!" The spy hurried into Li Quan's room and reported the news.

"Well, continue investigating."

Li Quan's face showed a solemn expression.

A moment later, another soldier came in to report the news.

"Report to Your Highness, the enemy has arrived near the city wall and is trying to attack the city!"

Li Quan looked stern.

The Nanman army at the city gate was about to capture the city gate. He did not dare to delay and immediately ordered: "Sound the horn to withdraw the troops!"

"Sound the retreat! Sound the retreat! ..."

The soldiers held up the gongs and beat the war drums.

"Dang, Dang, Dang..."

The sound of gongs rang out in the night sky.

In the military, enforcing orders is the most important thing.

When the order to call back the troops was given, almost everyone turned their horses around without thinking and galloped towards Jiangning City.

At this time, Jiangning City, starting from the north gate, was in a mess.
