"All of them come to me!"
Ning Que rode a horse and held a spear in his hand.
Behind him followed a large number of infantrymen.
Because they arrived by warship, they had few cavalry or chariots, relying primarily on infantry. Led by Ning Que, more and more elite troops rushed into the city. Crossbowmen unleashed their prepared rockets and fired directly at the thatched and bamboo huts in the distance.
The city was in chaos.
Many Goguryeo soldiers rushed out roaring.
They are generally short and thin.
They are no match for the tall and strong elite troops of Dafeng.
The weapons they used were also very crude.
Some even used wooden bows and arrows.
The arrows shot out were harmless.
"kill!!!"
The sound of fighting was deafening.
Chunlun rushed to the front with a long sword in hand.
The knife came down and blood gushed out.
Chunlun was covered in blood, but he didn't care.
He raised his foot and kicked the unwilling corpse away.
His eyes were bloodshot, as if a demon had descended.
Occasionally, arrows would be shot at us.
But it couldn't even penetrate the armor.
Ning Que led the way, brandishing his spear with vigor and gusto. He thrust, stabbed, chopped... his moves were wide-ranging, and with the help of his horse's charge, he always achieved success. He didn't try to be a hero, but instead deliberately slowed down, allowing his personal guards to keep pace on either side. Maintaining a small battle formation, he steadily advanced forward.
Song Ci also rode a warhorse, but he didn't attack. Instead, he remained fully armed, carrying a royal flag several feet tall, and followed closely behind Ning Que. As long as the royal flag stood, it meant Ning Que was still alive!
This time, Ning Que personally led the charge, not commanding from behind. With the city gate breached, command was no longer necessary. Bai Yu performed exceptionally well this time, his strategic thinking mirroring Ning Que's. Since special forces couldn't capture the city with minimal casualties, he'd simply resort to fire!
The existence of kerosene makes everything possible.
Hanshan City itself is not high enough.
As the catapults advanced, the kerosene sealed in earthenware jars pelted the city walls with uncanny precision. Tian Ce was indeed clever, and he knew Ning Que well enough to know he might dispatch special operations forces for a surprise attack under cover of night, thereby opening the city gates. Therefore, he had specifically posted night watch on the city walls, precisely to guard against Ning Que's actions.
He is very smart, but unfortunately he met Ning Que.
Ning Que has many ways to break into the city.
It's just that he always wanted to reduce casualties.
Now that there is no choice, just do it!
Spread the kerosene and then ignite it.
The entire city wall turned into a sea of fire!
The soldiers defending the city all became familiar faces!
Ning Que could easily break through the city gates while they were still burning. If a large army entered the city at this time, coupled with the sea of fire everywhere, the psychological pressure would wipe out Goguryeo's numerical advantage!
"Ashi!"
"Why is there fire everywhere?"
“Help…Help!”
"We can't put out this fire!"
"Dangun is angry, he rains down fireballs!"
"Run, let's run!"
The so-called elite Goguryeo White Tiger Corps was a joke in Ning Que's eyes. With the Dafeng divine soldiers descending from the sky and the flames spreading, these Goguryeo elites now only wished they had grown two more legs.
Apart from anything else, these people were incredibly skilled at escaping. Some even stepped on the still-living remains of their comrades, while others fled hastily on the backs of their horses. Their speed was so swift that even Ning Que felt ashamed.
"Damn!"
"Don't run!"
"Quick, fight back!"
"Their main force can't get in now!"
"Where are the cavalry? Charge and stop them!"
Tian Ce raised his hand and stabbed, killing several deserters.
Looking at these panicked deserters, he was so angry that he couldn't stop stamping his feet.
He has never led such stupid soldiers!
That’s right, he didn’t expect Ning Que to use fire attack.
The fire, fueled by the wind, spread rapidly throughout the city.
But Ning Que did not have many troops.
At most, there are only 30,000 people.
The city gate had just been breached, and their main force couldn't get in. As long as Goguryeo launched a timely counterattack, they could completely block Ningque.
In any case, the number of troops in this siege was 50,000 to 30,000.
The advantage is mine!
Even 50,000 pigs could have blocked the city gates. But the White Tiger Regiment, known as Goguryeo's most elite, ran faster than rabbits upon seeing Ning Que. Their combat capabilities had yet to be determined, but they were certainly fast runners.
"Go to hell!"
"Go ahead and die!"
"Dangun is angry and has sent down divine punishment."
"If we don't run, we'll all be burned to death!"
The translator also wanted to convey Tian Ce's meaning.
Stand up and try to stop these deserters.
But there is no chance at all at this time.
The deserters were all furious.
They didn't have the guts to attack Dafeng, but they mercilessly hacked the translator to death. As for the roaring and raging Tian Ce, they simply ignored him.
"kill!!!"
The deserters still tried to escape through the east gate, but Iron Ox had already arrived with his troops, completely blocking them. Pursuers in front, ferocious tigers behind, and the raging flames all around them instantly shattered their confidence. Although some, like madmen, roared and rushed forward to save their lives, they were also killed on the spot.
"It's all over..."
Tian Ce looked at the sea of fire with a wry smile.
The guards beside him were burned to ashes.
Holding Tian Ce tightly, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Hanshan City has been lost. These Goguryeo soldiers are all idiots. We have no chance. We must withdraw from Hanshan City quickly. Otherwise..."
