Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 556

[Chapter 556]

to the Death The round sun hanging over the willow branches slowly rises to the middle of the sky, then sinks to the west, and finally sinks into the earth.

When it was completely dark that day, the atmosphere in Ningcheng became solemn.

Qin Shan, Guan Tong and other generals rode back and forth on horseback, and asked the soldiers to place refusal horses, sandbags and other objects in the main streets and lanes.

He already had the worst plan in mind, if Beidi soldiers invaded the city, the royal army would have to have a brutal street fight with Beidi.

Immediately, they each returned to the city walls they were guarding, waiting for Beidi’s possible night attack.

Time passed, and at the third watch, suddenly the sound of the bell shaking sounded, which was very clear in the silent night.

Qin Shan looked into the boundless night and shouted: “Get ready to fight!”

As soon as his order was issued, thousands of burning arrows shot out from the city and flew out of the city.

These are Beidi’s bows and arrows that he collected in Ningcheng.

Since the arrow’s sole purpose is illumination, no aiming head is required.

Therefore, he arranged for a thousand soldiers to shoot arrows outside the city.

“General Mo’s method has come in handy.” Qin Shan sweated.

Chang Wei met them in Leting County, and explained to them in detail how Mo Yu dealt with Beidi’s night attack.

Although they don’t want to fight at night with Beidi, Beidi obviously knows that night fighting can reduce their advantage of firearms.

“Boom boom boom…”

“Bang boom boom…”

Burning arrows fell from the sky, lighting up areas.

The artillery and musketeers on the walls immediately poured shells and bullets over.

The screams of Beidi soldiers kept ringing in the darkness.

It’s just that even so, the burning arrows still couldn’t illuminate the entire battlefield.

Some Beidi soldiers hid in the dark and approached the city wall.

“Swish, swish…”

After a while, there was a sound of arrows piercing through the air.

This time it was not the arrows of the royal family’s army, but the hidden arrows of Beidi people.

Suddenly, some soldiers of the royal family were shot and injured by arrows.

Seeing this scene, Qin Shan gritted his teeth.

Yanguan was able to calmly face Beidi’s night attack because of the high walls of Yanguan City, and Beidi could only attack one side.

But now Beidi is besieged on all sides, the situation is much worse than Yanguan, and the soldiers will sacrifice more.

This, he must bear.

However, although a small number of Beidi soldiers slipped through the net, they touched within a hundred meters of the city wall.

But these soldiers can only play the role of harassment and cannot pose a huge threat to the soldiers on the city wall.

And the burning arrows kept falling.

They escaped once, twice, but three times, four times.

When they were exposed, they were immediately beaten into a sieve by the musketeers.

When they came to the city, Beidi soldiers who tried to set up the ladder were also taken care of.

Rifled guns kept shooting down the ladder, and Beidi soldiers died at the foot of the wall before they could climb up.

Occasionally, three or five Beidi soldiers climbed up the city wall.

The bayonets of the soldiers of the palace stabbed them off the ladder.

When the battle was in turmoil, in the Beidi camp, Mu Lehongzhen looked towards the city of Ningcheng, with a sneer on his lips.

As he expected, the night provided the best protection for Beidi soldiers.

Although their attack still could not break through the city wall.

But after all, many soldiers were able to approach the city wall.

For him, that’s enough.

At this moment, in front of him, twelve groups of soldiers were lined up, and each soldier had a huge gunpowder barrel in front of him.

As long as these gunpowder barrels can be sent under the city wall, they can blow the city wall away.

“Warriors of Beidi, victory is in your hands, go, destroy the city walls of Ningcheng.” Mu Lehongzhen pointed at Ningcheng.

“Yes, Khan.” The Beidi soldiers of the 12th team shouted.

Lifting the powder keg, they disappeared into the night.

“Boom boom boom…”

“Bang boom boom…” The

battle continued, and the explosive shells fired by the mortar exploded in the air, lighting up the ground like thunder and lightning from time to time.

Some soldiers had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Beidi soldiers carrying wooden barrels on the battlefield.

“General, there is a situation!” The soldier pointed to the northeast.

Qin Shan heard the words and looked around, all he saw were arrows burning on the ground, and figures flashing past the flames.

“What’s going on!” Qin Shan asked.

“There is a group of soldiers carrying wooden barrels, which may contain gunpowder.” The soldier said anxiously.

When Qin Shan heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

It’s just that the battlefield is as vibrant as the shadows of trees under the night light.

Some places are bright, some places are very dark.

At this moment, the mortars on the east side of the city wall suddenly fired intensively, and the shells lit up the night sky.

He looked again, and he found a group of Beidi soldiers carrying wooden barrels.

Just as he was about to order the soldiers to shoot, another burst of gunshots rang out. Obviously, other soldiers started to do it first.

Almost instantly, there was a loud “boom”, and a huge flame burst out on the battlefield.

There seemed to be still limbs and broken arms flying in the flames, and many Beidi soldiers were directly swept away by the shock wave of the explosion.

Seeing this, Qin Shan was not only not happy, but worried.

The worst thing happened, Beidi was going to blow up the city wall.

“Light the fire ditch under the city.” Qin Shan ordered.

In order to cause trouble for the besieging Beidi people.

Before the Beidi soldiers arrived, he ordered the soldiers to dig a circle of trenches around the city.

These trenches can continue to slow down the enemy’s attack speed, and there is also a layer of kerosene poured inside.

As long as the kerosene is ignited, a wall of flame will be formed.

But until the critical moment, he didn’t want to use this firewall.

Because once the fire oil is burned out, the trench is just a trench and can no longer help the night battle.

Just as he was thinking, there were two huge explosions in succession.

Qin Shan’s frown deepened, apparently Beidi had prepared more than one powder keg.

“Swoosh…” At this moment, a burning arrow flew towards the ditch.

A little flame immediately ignited the kerosene, and the wall of fire spread from the north gate to both sides, gradually enveloping the entire Ning City.

The soldiers of the palace immediately aimed their guns at the wall of fire.

Beidi soldiers had to go through the firewall if they wanted to get to the city.

In doing so, they will be exposed.

“Boom, boom.”

There were two more explosions.

But this explosion did not come from the north gate, but from the west gate.

In the light of the fire, he saw bricks and stones flying in the air.

Qin Shan’s face suddenly changed. The powder keg exploded under the city.

I’m afraid that the city wall of Ximen has suffered heavy damage.

“Anda!”

Sure enough, after the explosion, Beidi soldiers roared from the west gate.

“Guan Tong, you must stand up for me.” Qin Shan said fiercely.

This is the first day, if Ning Cheng is lost like this, Qin Shan can only commit suicide and apologize.

“Immediately dispatch two thousand soldiers to support Ximen, no matter what the price is, we must block the gap.” Qin Shan ordered four school lieutenants.

In response, the captains immediately led the troops away.

When they came to the west city, they found that a hundred meters south of the west city had collapsed.

Beidi soldiers continuously crossed the city wall and poured into Ningcheng.
