Chapter 423 Di Chen's Demeanor

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With the sound of war drums, the siege began.

The huge army array slowly moved forward, with a mountainous momentum rushing towards us. When they reached the moat, the army formation suddenly narrowed, and the army passed through the water channel built up with sandbags one by one, and emerged at the foot of the city wall.

After crossing the "single-plank bridge", the narrowed army suddenly spread out again. In an instant, the dense army covered the entire western city wall, leaving no gaps.

The whole process is like flowing clouds and flowing water.

It has to be said that Lian Po's level of commanding the army is really remarkable.

Being able to command and dispatch a hastily formed allied army in such an orderly manner is the quality of a general. Those generals who can only take the lead in charging and killing are just reckless.

The elite of Handan City, mixed with the army, came straight to the gate of the city, carrying huge logs.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo stood at the top of the wall and smiled coldly.

It was expected to be so.

On the tower of the west city gate, there are piles of stones like hills. In addition, a squadron of Habayashi guards is waiting in full force, responsible for defending the city gate.

As soon as the enemy army approached the city gate, arrows rained all over the sky and a large number of stones poured down.

The rain of arrows was fine, the large army was blocked by shields, and did not cause too many casualties. After all, the number of soldiers in a squadron is still too small to form a gathering effect.

The most dangerous thing is the stone that fell on the head.

Huge boulders fell from a high altitude, and struck down with a force of thunder. The boulder hit the shield, smashing people and shields together.

"Boom!"

The soldier who was hit vomited blood and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Massive boulders fell down like raindrops, making dull crashing sounds.

Just like whack-a-mole, every stone can take away a life. The soldiers of Habayashi Guard are not ordinary civilians. Not only are they powerful, but they are also extremely skilled in controlling power.

The stones thrown were ruthless and accurate.

The elite of Handan City also had backbone, and none of them screamed.

They stood against the boulder and tried to attack the city gate.

Unfortunately, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, the team suffered heavy losses. The entire giant tree was lifted up and down, unable to form a joint force at all, and the impact on the gate of the city was like a tickle.

The narrow city gate becomes a meat grinder.

"bump!"

"bump!"

"bump!"

The endless boulders are simply desperate.

Before the impact on the city gate was launched, the elite of Handan City suffered heavy losses.

Di Chen, who was watching the battle from a distance, twitched his face. This was his meticulously trained elite.

Veteran Lian Po remained expressionless, sending teams of elites to the "execution ground" resolutely, replacing the already paralyzed teams.

He didn't believe that the other party would prepare so many stones.

During yesterday's siege, Lian Po observed that in the second half of the war, almost no stones fell from the top of the city, indicating that the defense materials in the city were almost exhausted.

Unfortunately, Lian Po is doomed to regret it.

No matter how many teams Lian Po sent to rush up, it was useless.

The huge boulder at the top of the city, like it would never dry up, fell rumbling down.

Half an hour later, the gate of the city was completely blocked by boulders, forming a hill. What is mixed in the cracks of the stone is the flesh and blood of soldiers.

In order to hit the gate, the stone must be removed.

This is almost an impossible task.

No matter how many elites there are in Handan City, no matter how brave they are, they cannot be sent to death like this.

Lian Po's city gate attack plan officially failed.

The design of the ancient city is very particular, especially for the city gate, the weakest point of the city, there are more doorways inside.

If the city gates were so easy to break, the army would not choose the siege ladder when attacking the city.

In siege battles, many times, the siege troops would rather use trebuchets to break a hole in the city wall than launch an attack from the city gate.

That's where the roots lie.

The defense of the city gate by the city guards has reached an exaggerated level. Not only that, even if you break through the city gate by chance, there are special defense equipment that can block the city gate in an instant.

Lian Po certainly didn't understand this. What he calculated before was that the enemy's supplies for defending the city were limited. Unexpectedly, all the houses in Anyang City were demolished to store supplies.

Facing such a tough opponent, Lian Po is also quite a headache. Even so, Lian Po remained unmoved. As the chief general, his will was as hard as steel.

Since the city gate could not be taken down, Lian Po stormed the city wall. As long as no matter the cost, the city can always be won.

Lian Po was convinced of this.

Di Chen was still very magnanimous. At this time, he did not interfere with Lian Po's command. He knew that if the lord and the general disagreed at this time, it would be a disaster.

When the war broke out, he could only choose to trust Lian Po.

The Shanhai City army suffered heavy losses yesterday, and it is indeed a lot of effort to defend the city today.

Di Chen's troops suffered heavy losses, but within a unit of time, the number of attacking soldiers did not decrease. What has been weakened is only the number of rotations of each department.

Lian Po was also ruthless and kept putting pressure on the army to reduce their rest time.

As long as the general is determined, the army will not collapse.

Under the command of Lian Po, the army continued to attack the city like a whole.

The continuous attacks made Anyang City seem to be in jeopardy.

Helpless, what Lian Po didn't know was that there were three more generals in the city guard today.

This intelligence error is almost fatal to the judgment of the battle situation.

Yesterday, Ouyang Shuo was the only axis of the entire army, so he lost sight of the other.

It's different now, Ouyang Shuo and Zhou Bo each occupy a section of defense area, forming a defensive chain.

Four points and one line, indestructible.

In the defense of the city, the role of a fierce general must not be underestimated. I saw Zhou Bo going to the top of the city to fight, there was a man guarding the gate, and no one could escape, no one within five meters to the left and right could climb to the top of the city.

The general is so mighty, the motivation to the soldiers is very obvious.

Habayashi Wei, the more he fought, the braver he became.

Every Habayashi guard is an indifferent butcher who treats the enemy as nothing.

The head of Anyang City is like a black hole, constantly devouring the lives of soldiers.

Not only that, under Xiao He's dispatch, a large number of stones and wood were still being transported to the top of the city. Xiao He is going to raze Anyang City to the ground.

Xiao He declared in the city: With the nature of the enemy, the loss is so heavy, if the city is broken, it will be slaughtered. The people in the city were so frightened that they wished they could contribute all the coffin boards they had prepared.

Bai Hua and the two daughters of Feng Prison and Huang couldn't help being dumbfounded.

What is a profession? This is called professionalism.

A small change made defending the city in the morning easier than yesterday afternoon.

As time went by, Lian Po could no longer calm down.

Damn, what kind of army was he facing? How could it be so tenacious.

Dichen's face was equally gloomy and terrifying.

At this moment, his allies could sit still no longer. Two or three thousand troops were lost in vain, and what was exchanged was only a pitiful battle contribution value.

This deal is too bad!

"Master Dimeng, I think we need an explanation."

A lord couldn't bear it any longer and questioned Di Chen. Of the 3,000 troops he brought, there are less than 1,000 left at the moment, how can he not feel distressed.

"That's right. Leader Emperor, we trusted you and came out with you. What's the matter now? There is no hope of winning at all."

Facing these doubts, Di Chen was speechless.

Speaking of which, these allies have been able to hold their breath, and they have only now launched an attack.

"Everyone!" Dichen waved his hands and said in a deep voice, "Everyone's losses today will be compensated by Dimou after the battle is over, and he will never break his promise."

"This..." The lords looked at each other.

It had to be said that Di Chen was really generous in his handling of things.

Logically speaking, coming out with Di Chen was entirely voluntary. In war, there are victories and defeats, and no one can blame anyone. Even so, Di Chen still did not shirk his responsibility, and truly showed the demeanor of a child of the aristocratic family.

This move is really beautiful.

After appeasing his allies, Di Chen patted his horse and came to Lian Po's side.

"My lord!"

Seeing Di Chen, Lian Po was ashamed.

Di Chen waved his hand and said, "I don't blame the general, it's because the enemy army is too stubborn."

Lian Po's face softened slightly, and his heart was full of gratitude. He also thought that this time he would be reprimanded. After all, he had issued a military order in front of the lord last night.

I never thought it would lead to this situation.

"Withdraw the troops!"

After saying these words, Dichen felt a big stone drop in his heart.

Simply admit defeat and stop struggling.

"My lord?"

Lian Po was shocked and felt unwilling.

"Withdraw the troops!"

Di Chen said it again, with a firm tone.

When Lian Po heard this, his expression was complicated. He also knew that Anyang City would not be taken down any longer. Instead of this, it is better to cut a little loss earlier.

Not everyone has the courage and courage of a strong man to break his wrist.

The defeat in this battle lies in intelligence.

They didn't expect that there would be a Qin army stationed in Anyang City, without carrying siege equipment. Otherwise, no matter how tenacious the enemy army is, Anyang City will never be able to defend it.

In the rumble, the army once again withdrew across the board.

From the head of Anyang City, bursts of cheers came out.

At this moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from the distant sky. Looking for the reputation, I saw a black tide-like army coming towards Anyang City.

The cheers at the top of the city came to an abrupt end.

God!

Is it another anti-Qin army?

The appearance of a large army at this time is simply a disaster for Anyang City.

Even Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

He looked up at some of the sky, and it was still an hour or two before noon. It also means that Wang Li's vanguard will take at least an hour to reach Anyang City.

With just a few thousand people now, can they block it for an hour?

Ouyang Shuo's expression was unprecedentedly dignified.

At the same time, in Ouyang Shuo's heart, there was a hint of anticipation.

On the contrary, Di Chen and the others became excited.

Especially Dichen.

According to his calculation, if the reinforcements marched in a hurry and set off early in the morning, they should have arrived by now.

"Heaven will not kill me!"

Dichen let out a long sigh, rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately, he was not arrogant last night, and still lowered his head to ask Xiang Yu for help. Otherwise, it would really be a laughing stock.

The rumbling army came from far and near.
