Chapter 966 Delaying Time
Leng Wenyan of the City Lord's Mansion naturally heard the huge explosion and the sound of the tower collapsing.
Many people at the scene were frightened by the thunderous roar and accidentally knocked over their wine glasses.
The musicians and singers were also frightened and trembling all over and stopped.
Leng Wenyan immediately sent people to investigate what happened?
Two quarters of an hour later, the people who went to investigate came back.
"Report..."
The soldier rushed into the hall shouting all the way, knelt on the ground in panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Report to the King Wen, Ning Chen's people broke in."
This sentence scared the people present.
Leng Wenyan stood up and hit his knees on the small low table. His face twitched in pain, but he didn't care about it at this time. He said sternly: "What did you say? Say it again."
He suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Reply, reply to King Wen... Ning Chen's men have broken in."
Leng Wenyan said angrily: "Impossible, absolutely impossible... No matter how fast Ning Chen marches, he can't make it at this time.
Besides, this king has deployed 30,000 archers on the top of the city. Even if Ning Chen has firearms, he can't break in so quickly, unless he can fly."
The soldier trembled and said: "Your Highness, it's the 10,000 troops brought back by Si Xiuyong. They are the Ning'an Army in disguise. They have already attacked the top of the city and are fighting with the archery battalion."
Leng Wenyan's head buzzed, and his eyes went black.
Others also turned pale and panicked.
Archers are okay for long-range attacks, but how can they be the opponents of the Ning'an Army in close combat?
Leng Wenyan's forehead was sweating, and he roared: "Pass this king's order, let the cavalry and infantry battalions go to the east gate immediately, and those who delay the opportunity will die."
He had to rescue the archery battalion as soon as possible.
If the archery battalion was completely wiped out, then when Ning Chen led his army to arrive, they could only watch Ning Chen attack the city.
On the other side, on the top of the city wall, the battle was almost over.
It was fine that the archers fought hand-to-hand with the enemy, but they were facing a fierce army like the Ning An Army, which was several levels lower... It was like a three-year-old child fighting an adult, and the adult was fully armed and well-equipped.
Therefore, from the beginning, the battle situation was overwhelming.
It took a lot of time to assemble a large army.
An hour later, the horses' hooves clanged and the ground shook.
Countless soldiers and generals rushed to the East Gate from the main roads in the city.
Leng Wenyan was armed and led the way.
At this time, the opportunity was cold.
The battle on the top of the city wall had already ended.
In this battle, more than 4,000 enemies were killed, and the remaining more than 25,000 archers all surrendered.
Their bows and arrows were confiscated, their armor and cotton uniforms were taken off, and they were all driven out of the city, guarded by more than a thousand Ning'an soldiers.
In fact, there was no need for guarding. It was freezing cold at this time. The armor and cotton uniforms on these people were stripped off, leaving only thin underwear and trousers. They were frozen like grandchildren, their hands and feet were stiff, and they couldn't even hold the knife. They had no ability to resist at all.
When Leng Wenyan led the army to arrive, looking at the Ning'an Army flags floating on the top of the city, his face was uglier than his parents died.
The East Gate was lost!
Leng Wenyan ordered the army to stop.
Going further, they were within the enemy's range.
Leng Wenyan was trembling with anger.
He deployed 30,000 archers on the city wall to stop Ning Chen.
But now the top of the city was controlled by the enemy, and he didn't even dare to get close.
Now, whoever occupies the commanding heights will take the initiative.
"Who is the leader? Come out and speak."
Leng Wenyan shouted angrily.
Yuan Long and others stood on the top of the city, overlooking Leng Wenyan's army.
"Yuan Long, the regent of Daxuan, who are you?"
Leng Wenyan's face turned black when he heard Yuan Long's name!
He knew that Yuan Long was the commander of the Ning'an Army and had been following Ning Chen. It was too difficult to instigate such a person!
"How dare you! Why don't you kneel down and salute when you see King Wen?"
A general beside Leng Wenyan shouted.
The result was a burst of laughter.
Feng Qizhen said disdainfully: "What a bullshit King Wen? Can anyone be king? I only recognize the regent of Daxuan."
"How dare you!"
Feng Qizhen said angrily: "Where did the wild dog come from to bark here? If you dare to chatter again, do you believe that I will twist your head off and kick it like a ball?"
Leng Wenyan waved his hand to stop the general next to him.
He said loudly: "I have heard of General Yuan's name a long time ago. It is a great honor to meet him today!
General Yuan is brave and good at fighting, but has he followed Ning Chen for so long? Until now, he is only a third-rank general... It seems that Ning Chen does not value you very much.
Why don't you follow me? I can give you whatever you want... As long as General Yuan is willing, my 100,000 troops, including me, will obey your command.
In addition, I can guarantee that General Yuan will have wealth and glory, rare beauties, and endless enjoyment."
Yuan Long turned his head to look at Lei An and others.
Several people couldn't help laughing like pigs.
Let them betray Ning Chen, this Leng Wenyan really dared to think.
Yuan Long shouted, "Okay, you can surrender to me if you want me to... Leng Wenyan, come here, let's talk."
Leng Wenyan snorted coldly, and said, "If General Yuan is really sincere, put down your weapons and walk down the city wall... I will host a banquet, and we can sit and chat, isn't it wonderful?"
Feng Qizheng laughed strangely, "You are right, you host a banquet, and then let your mother accompany you for drinking, that will be even better!"
Leng Wenyan was so angry that his nose was crooked.
"General Yuan, I sincerely invite you, don't be ungrateful... As long as I give an order, 100,000 troops will charge up to the top of the city. Even if you have bows and arrows, you can't stop my 100,000 troops."
Yuan Long sneered: "You can try?"
The top of the city is so small, it is impossible for 100,000 troops to rush up. In such a small place, Ning'an Army has never been afraid of anyone?
Leng Wenyan was furious: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. Do you really think that you can win by occupying the top of the city... You want to die, I will grant you.
Catapult, get ready!"
Yuan Long and others changed their faces.
The Ning'an Army fought fiercely, but they were not made of iron.
The huge stones fired by the catapults fell down, and the top of the city was so big, the Ning'an Army would definitely suffer casualties.
Every soldier of the Ning'an Army is a treasure.
Yuan Long looked back. If Ning Chen didn't come again, they could only rush down to fight with Leng Wenyan's troops.
We can't just stay on the top of the city and let the enemy's catapults attack, right?
The attack range of the catapults is much longer than that of arrows, and they didn't bring artillery this time... If the boulders fired by the catapults fall down, I wonder how many people will die?
Lei An suddenly said: "Leng Wenyan, what you said before is true?"
Leng Wenyan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Lei An said: "You said before that as long as I surrender to you, I will be given wealth and honor, and I will also lead your 100,000 troops. Do you really mean it?"
Leng Wenyan said: "My words are as good as gold!"
Lei An lowered his voice, "General Yuan, fight with me and delay time."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Yuan Long could react, the rebar in his hand had already hit Yuan Long.
"Yuan Long, give me your life... You and I followed Ning Chen together, why can you be reused, while I can only be inferior to you? I don't accept it!"
