Chapter 275 Falling Down the City
The north wind was bleak, blowing the smoke and the dead souls away.
Under the cover of artillery and catapults, the people of the musket battalion had already rushed into the city gate.
Bang, bang, bang! ! !
The sound was like thunder, and bullets were fired densely like rain.
The army responsible for guarding the city gate fell down like wheat being cut.
The city gate hole was so wide that they had nowhere to escape and became a living target.
Blood splattered and corpses piled up like mountains.
The musket battalion and infantry rushed forward on the corpses, and the military boots on their feet were stained red with blood, leaving bloody footprints as they walked.
"Put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
Ning Chen roared.
The messenger kept conveying Ning Chen's orders.
The enemy troops guarding the city gate dropped their weapons.
Some people have begun to surrender.
They were all the people of Daxuan. They were also forced to do so. They did not want to surrender to the enemy and betray their country. They did not want to die in a foreign land, with no place for their souls to rest, and to be stabbed in the back after death.
Besides, they could not resist the muskets in the hands of the other side.
Moreover, the soldiers of both sides knew each other quite a lot. They were from the same hometown, friends, playmates who grew up together, and joined the army together, but they were in different military camps.
Most people on both sides did not want to fight this war at all, but the military orders were as strong as a mountain.
Of course, there were also warmongers, and there were the personal troops of the Grand Tutor.
The Grand Tutor promised them wealth and glory.
As long as this battle was won, they would live a life of luxury in the future.
But those who resisted stubbornly would be waiting for bullets, and Ning Chen's people would not indulge them.
The soldiers of the musket camp rushed the most fiercely. They were considered the personal troops of Ning Chen and could not embarrass Ning Chen.
The sound of gunfire continued.
They crushed all the way and rushed through the city gate.
The stairs to the city wall were originally inside the city, but now they have been moved outside the city.
After the people from the musket camp went over, they immediately divided into several teams, suppressed the enemy with muskets, and led the infantry from each ladder to start charging towards the top of the city.
Fighting all the way, the stairs were piled with corpses, and blood flowed along the stairs.
Ning Chen's troops rushed to the top of the city.
Bang bang bang! ! !
Under the hail of bullets, the enemy troops who rushed over fell in groups.
"No killing if you surrender!"
"No killing if you surrender!"
"No killing if you surrender!"
Ning Chen's shouting soldiers kept shouting towards the top of the city.
Zhao Bokang's old face was ashen, his eyes were bloodshot, and he screamed at the top of his voice: "Kill, kill them all... Those who are afraid of fighting and don't move forward will be beheaded! Those who flee in the battle will be beheaded!"
The people from the military supervision camp forced the soldiers to rush forward.
The top of the city was stained with blood, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
The artillery and catapults all stopped.
They have already rushed to the top of the city wall, and firing more can easily hurt their own people.
The city wall is so wide, and the enemies are swarming in.
The musket battalion has no time to reload ammunition.
Put away the muskets, draw the long swords, and start hand-to-hand combat.
In this situation, it depends on who is more lucky?
"Mu Anbang leads the archery battalion out of the city to prevent the support of Wu State."
"Lei An, pull the artillery battalion out of the city for me, find their armory and grain warehouse, and wait for my order!"
"The rest of you, follow me!"
Ning Chen rode his horse and passed through the city gate.
Pan Yucheng and Feng Qi were following closely.
Rushing to the top of the city wall, Ning Chen swung his sword and chopped fiercely.
On the battlefield, people were crowded, and martial arts moves could hardly be used. There was only one word... chop.
Chop desperately, chop at all costs, in short, chop the enemy to death, and you can survive.
Ning Chen held the sword tightly and chopped wildly.
The knife Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizhen gave him was indeed extremely sharp.
With one strike, it could break through the enemy's armor.
Warm blood splattered, staining cheeks and clothes red.
Ning Chen, Pan Yucheng, Feng Qizhen, all the way was unstoppable.
Their goal was clear, to capture the leader first, as long as Zhao Bokang was captured, the war could be ended.
Before climbing the city, Ning Chen locked Zhao Bokang's position.
The three of them rushed forward with their knives frantically.
But there were too many people, and Ning Chen and the other two were quickly dispersed.
Ning Chen slashed and killed frantically all the way, approaching Zhao Bokang.
Zhao Bokang also saw Ning Chen.
Enemies are particularly jealous when they meet.
The uncle of the king was slashed by Ning Chen, and his daughter was also sentenced to death because of Ning Chen.
Zhao Bokang drew his knife, and rushed towards Ning Chen regardless of the people around him who were protecting him.
He had the same idea as Ning Chen.
Kill the general first to disrupt the enemy's morale.
At present, Ning Chen's people have an absolute upper hand.
In the battle outside the city of Yuzhou, the Grand Tutor's troops were defeated. They already had a shadow on Ning Chen's troops and their morale was low.
As long as Ning Chen was killed, all this would be solved.
Ning Chen dealt with the enemies around him and rushed towards the Grand Tutor.
Without any fancy moves, the two men swung their swords at each other's heads at the same time.
Clang! ! !
The sound of metal clashing was harsh, and sparks flew everywhere.
Both of them staggered back due to the power of the other party.
Ning Chen was shocked. He didn't expect that this old man was so strong at such an age?
When two people meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.
To retreat at this time would mean death.
The swords flew, and punches and feet came and went.
Zhao Bokang's skills were really amazing, and his strength was not what he should have at this age.
Perhaps it was because he saw his enemy that he burst out with unprecedented potential.
Clang! ! !
The two swords collided fiercely.
Ning Chen's palms were broken by the shock, and the long sword almost slipped out of his hand.
Zhao Bokang was not much better? Blood was flowing from his hands.
"Ning Chen, you killed my children. I will tear you into pieces today."
Ning Chen's eyes were full of murderous intent, "They deserve to die, and you deserve to die too!"
"Zhao Bokang, even if you win this battle, you will be the eternal sinner of Daxuan, and you will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and you will be infamous for thousands of years."
Zhao Bokang swung his knife and roared, "The winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. History is written by the winners... I will tear you into pieces and lead the troops to the capital. I wonder who dares to write a bad word about me in the history books?"
Ning Chen swung his knife and swept away the opponent's knife.
He didn't say anything else, because Zhao Bokang was right.
History is written by the victors.
Zhao Bokang was extremely ferocious, swinging his knife wildly towards Ning Chen, with great force and heavy power.
When Ning Chen fought back, he was tripped by the corpse under his feet and could only raise his knife to block in a hurry.
Dangdangdang! ! !
Zhao Bokang struck three times in a row, each time with all his strength.
The third strike made Ning Chen's arm numb.
Zhao Bokang used all his strength and pressed hard, and the blade cut into Ning Chen's shoulder.
Zhao Bokang laughed grimly.
"You little bastard, I'll let you die on this city wall today."
Ning Chen roared, lowered his body, and rolled on the ground.
Zhao Bokang groaned, staggered back, and a dagger was stuck in his thigh.
Ning Chen took the opportunity to swing his long knife and slashed at Zhao Bokang fiercely.
Zhao Bokang held Ning Chen's knife horizontally.
Ning Chen roared, exerted all his strength, and pushed Zhao Bokang back continuously.
Zhao Bokang looked back and was about to fall out of the city wall if he retreated any further.
He tried his best to stop Ning Chen... but his leg was injured, and he was old after all, so he couldn't resist at all.
"Go to hell!"
Ning Chen kicked him in the stomach, trying to kick him out of the city.
Zhao Bokang was also a ruthless man, he threw away his knife, and Ning Chen's knife chopped into his shoulder.
Zhao Bokang took the opportunity to hold Ning Chen's feet before he could retract them...the two of them fell out of the city together and fell down the city.
The city was in chaos, people kept falling down from the city wall, so no one noticed this scene at all.
Bang Bang! ! !
Ning Chen and Zhao Bokang fell down the city.
I don't know what happened to Zhao Bokang?
But Ning Chen fainted on the spot.
