Another long horn sounded, which was the signal for coordinated siege known to all Ji Wan's soldiers.
The long sword fell, the military flag waved, and in the distance, only an inspiring roar could be heard.
"Attack the city!"
Wu Run frowned when he heard this, but before he had time to think about it, two scouts came running up to him. The words the two scouts uttered made him a little dazed for a moment.
"Report! Lord Changshi, the enemy has been spotted at the west gate. They have entered the city!"
"Report! Lord Changshi, the enemy has been spotted at the South Gate. They have entered the city!"
Including the North Gate that is currently under attack, three of the four gates in the entire city have been surrounded by Ji Wan!
What the hell is going on?!
The North Gate was originally intended to confuse Ji Wancai and release the death row prisoners and a part of the vanguard army. The remaining gates are the main forces!
Wu Runben planned to use the death row prisoners to disrupt Ji Wan's base camp first, divert Ji Wan's attention, and then have the elite troops out of other city gates pass through the mountains and forests and head straight for Ji Wan's base camp. Wouldn't it be better to capture them alive at that time?
But I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect that it was him who opened the city gate himself, welcoming the traitor Ji Wan into the city!
Not only had his schemes been discovered, but now, except for the east gate bordering the other cities of Fanzhou, all the others had been stormed, and even two of the gates had been opened!
Wu Run hurriedly pulled the scout next to him.
"Quick! Tell them to come back! We can still hold the city if we go back! No, they can't come back. Tell them to defend the two city gates at the cost of their lives!"
Watching the scout hurriedly, one step, two steps, and then a long stride down the stairs, Wu Run seemed to have seen his future career, and he also fell as fast as this soldier!
"How many soldiers do we have left?"
The advisor beside him was at a loss and whispered, "Reporting to the Chief Secretary, there are still 10,000 people left."
Wu Run's face turned pale. Only ten thousand people were left. It was over, all over!
Attacking the city in three directions was a strategy that Ji Wan and his advisors had already decided on.
For this purpose, Ji Wan also asked the soldiers to pretend that they were not moving at all. Finally, taking advantage of the night, Lin Chanhua released a teleportation formation and directly teleported them to the vicinity of the various gates of Shicheng.
Don't you want to get rid of me in one go? I won't let you do that!
If they were to fight a war of attrition honestly, Ji Wan might still consider it carefully. But a head-on confrontation?
She has strong soldiers and brave generals, and she is least afraid of head-on confrontation!
The north gate of Shicheng.
The engineers held up their shields and crawled under the trench-filling vehicles. They were going to build a folding trench bridge at the edge of the moat to clear a path for the large siege vehicles behind.
As the sound of the drum changed, Jin Lie and the soldiers behind him all knew that the trench bridge was completed!
The siege vehicle roared like a giant beast in an instant, and began to spin wildly like a large meat grinder, constantly crushing the enemy's corpses and moving forward.
In order to resist foreign enemies, the mountain roads leading out of Shicheng are narrow and can be occupied by a siege vehicle.
Jin Lie could only lead his soldiers to use rain of arrows and firepower cover behind the siege vehicle, and the arrows fell into the stone city like meteors.
The frightened citizens in the city gathered in the square in the center of the city with pale faces to avoid being hit by flying arrows.
Relatively speaking, Ji Wan was very conscientious this time. She did not use rockets and catapults when attacking the city to avoid burning down all the houses in the city.
Otherwise, if the city is destroyed, you will be the one who has to pay to repair it!
It's not even a quarter of an hour yet.
Jin Lie has led a small team of soldiers to the front of the north gate of Shicheng City in coordination with the siege vehicle. Looking at the ladders that the engineers had built in two or three steps, he took the lead and climbed up the ladder first!
When Wu Run, who was on the city wall of Shicheng, saw this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank and he subconsciously clenched the stone bricks in his hands.
"Quick! Drop the rocks!"
Several Fanzhou garrison soldiers on the city wall lifted the huge rock together, shouted loudly, and threw it down together!
As thousands of arrows were fired at the same time, countless rocks rolled down the ladder with great force. Jin Lie nervously held the edge of the ladder.
After a while, what was waiting for him was not the heavy blow of the huge rock, but Tuoba Feng standing at the bottom of the city wall, drawing the array pattern on the spot, and Xiao Ling controlled the array to form a pale yellow array in the air to resist arrows and stones!
"Haha, soldiers! With the help of the immortals, let's charge!" Jin Lie shouted excitedly, and his speed increased a bit.
Wu Run felt dizzy and his breathing was forced to stop as he watched this scene.
Immortal! It was actually an immortal! He seemed to understand why Ji Wan, a woman, had forcefully inserted herself into the dispute between the princes.
In a trance, I felt my vision was blurry. Before I lost consciousness, I only heard the teacher beside me shout in fear: "Master Changshi!"
At this time, Jin Lie had already led his team to the city wall and cut down the military flag of the Shicheng garrison.
The siege vehicles slammed hard into the north gate. Every collision was like the call of the King of Hell, and the city gate was covered by various firepower.
The city was already in chaos. Countless soldiers trembled and hid in earthen jars holding gold and silver, fearing that they would be shot to death. Some even took advantage of the chaos to force the people gathered in the city center!
The army led by Lin Chanhua immediately found the people gathered in the city center carrying bags.
After chopping off the treacherous enemy soldier with a single blow, Lin Chanhua looked at the terrified civilians and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, folks. I'm a subordinate of Princess Yongkang! My lord won't kill the common people of Donglin! He'll only eliminate the rebels!"
Most of the soldiers, led by Jin Lie, were unstoppable. In just two hours, a big hole was directly broken in the north gate, and it was finally opened from the inside by Ji Wan's army.
War horses neighed, and behind the broken city gate were the Stone City garrison troops who were caught off guard and captured.
The army led by Jin Lie was very well-organized. The moment Wu Run's head fell to the ground, everyone outside the gate shouted loudly: "The chief general has been executed! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
At this time, the city gate was broken, and the soldiers on Ji Wan's side in the city also shouted together. The voices of tens of thousands of people mixed together and spread to every corner of the city.
The sounds of fighting gradually subsided, and the Shicheng garrison soldiers guarding the door had their hands tied and were sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.
In the military tent, Ji Wan couldn't hide his anxiety as he picked up the teacup beside him and gulped it down in big gulps without any manners.
Whenever she gets nervous, she can't help but want to drink something.
"Report! Your Highness, the Stone City has been breached! The chief commander has been killed!"
"The Stone City has been breached! The chief general has been killed!"
"The stone city has been broken! The chief general has been killed!" The only 500 soldiers left in the garrison shouted in unison.
Ji Wan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, unable to hide the smile on her face, and put down the cold teacup heavily.
Finally, we took down Shicheng!
Who would have thought that it only took 20,000 people ten days to complete the assault, including the days spent on the road!
