Leiden had never expected that Wu Lai would actually have people drag in four cannons, and then set them up outside the gate of the fifth stone wall to bombard the inside. No, not bombardment, but extremely barbaric and cruel flat shooting...

After each round of roars, four shells would "drill" through the Tianjuan Army. The shells would first knock open the more than ten layers of shield soldiers, and while carrying countless fragments, they would slam into the group of soldiers in the rear. Wherever the shells passed, people and horses would fall to the ground, and blood and flesh would fly everywhere. Many soldiers were smashed into meat paste before they could even react before being hit by the rapidly flying shells. After three rounds, a "passage" covered with broken limbs and pools of blood appeared from the fifth stone wall gate to the seventh gate.

The appearance of this "passage" not only frustrated the offensive of the Tianjuan Army soldiers, but also divided them into two parts with the "passage" as the center line. As panic spread among the soldiers, the mortars that had been rearranged in their positions also began to join the "harvest" sequence...

Thus, the area between the fifth and sixth stone walls once again became a killing field.

The Tianjuan Army was in panic and chaos. The soldiers ran around randomly, trying to avoid the shells, but they soon discovered that nowhere seemed safe, so they began to try to retreat. When a small group of people successfully retreated between the sixth and seventh stone walls, the retreat immediately turned into a rout.

Wu Lai led his men without hesitation to charge between the fifth and sixth stone walls, even though there were still enemies resisting stubbornly there, and even though the enemies had already begun to deploy crossbows and bows and arrows on the sixth stone wall...

Then, Wu Lai used the same trick again - as usual, he used artillery to clear the way, split and compressed the Tianjuan Army, and then used mortars to bombard and harvest. As for the bows and crossbows on the top of the sixth stone wall, Wu Lai took care of them all by himself...

In desperation, Leiden had to order the gate of the eighth stone wall to be opened and the remaining soldiers between the seventh and eighth stone walls to retreat, because if he did not do so, all these remaining soldiers would be doomed. You must know that the Assyrian army was now fighting and charging recklessly as if they were injected with chicken blood, and there was no trace of the embarrassment they had when they were retreating before.

Leiden suspected that he had been tricked by the enemy before, otherwise how could the enemy's morale and tactics have such a big reversal?

This must be the case. Leiden had just thought about this anxiously when he realized that he had made another big mistake - once the eighth gate was opened, the Assyrian army that had already entered the seventh gate set up artillery again...

Behind the eighth gate were 3,500 light-armored soldiers who were waiting for the order to attack. As soon as the gate was opened, the defeated soldiers rushed in and showed their panic and embarrassment to the light-armored soldiers, who immediately fell into chaos.

Yes, chaos, chaos. At this point, generals and flags were no longer effective. Panic and tension were everywhere, accompanied by nonsense and cries of pain. No one knew who took the lead, but the fleeing soldiers and light-armored soldiers actually ran towards the ninth gate. When they found that the gate was closed and bolted, some of them began to smash the door with shields and stones, roaring and shouting as they smashed...

Leiden saw this heart-wrenching scene, and what made him even more worried was that the Assyrian army's artillery fired again. The rumbling sound of the artillery was a death talisman, a soul-calling spell, and a knife that kept stabbing at Leiden's heart.

"General..." The deputy general at the side didn't dare to say anything else. At this moment, how could he not see that if he opened the door, he would die, and if he didn't open the door, he would also die.

Leiden didn't say anything. He knew what the deputy general meant and what he wanted to say. In his opinion, since these soldiers were doomed to die, it would be better to let them die in front of the ninth gate. On the one hand, it would consume some of the enemy's ammunition and manpower. On the other hand, it would also buy more time for the subsequent defensive preparations.

But the ninth gate was quickly opened. Although the gate was thick and the wooden bolt was huge, it could not withstand the continuous pounding of hundreds of people. Many Tianjuan soldiers were injured or killed in the pushing and jostle, and many were trampled into tattered corpses by their companions. But the gate was finally pushed open.

At the moment the door tilted, Wu Lai raised his right hand, and the murderous look in his eyes made people shudder.

"Fire!" he shouted.

"Cannon number one is ready! Aims at the gate!"

"Cannon number two is ready! Aims at the gate!"

"Cannon number three is ready! Aims at the gate!"

"Cannon No. 4 is ready! Aims at the gate!"

Wu Lai narrowed his eyes and swung his right arm fiercely: "Fire!"

“Bang, bang, bang!” The four cannons spewed out flames at the same time. The four shells fiercely “plowed” out four “grooves” that splattered blood and flesh, and then crashed into the ninth gate…

The explosion once again shook the cliffs on both sides, and the moment the sand and rocks slid down, the inside and outside of the ninth gate turned into a red world...

"Goddess Luo!" Leiden knelt down slowly, at a loss. The Assyrian army used an extremely cruel and brutal method of warfare to crush them all the way. They were like a prehistoric beast, waving their claws with ferocious faces, and constantly grabbing at the Tianjuan Army.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Leiden was panicking. Leiden was in a state of confusion because he racked his brains but couldn't think of how to stop the Assyrian army's offensive...

After another round of mortar bombardment, Wu Lai raised the gun in his right hand: "Kill!"

After shouting loudly, he took a step and rushed forward. Beside and behind him, there were echoes like thunder...

At the same time, the 2nd, 3rd and 7th Regiments, which had been ready for a long time in the standby area outside the first stone wall, received Wu Lai's order. The order was so simple that it only had two words - "all-out attack."

...At dawn, the last trace of gunpowder smoke in the passage cleared, and Wu Lai climbed up the stairs to the top of the last stone wall. This stone wall was much taller and wider than the previous ten, and even had a pergola.

There were about ten people waiting for Wu Lai in the shed - three soldiers from the special company, the commander of the 12th Regiment and several staff officers, as well as Leiden and his deputy general and personal lieutenant.

Leiden was tied up with his hands behind his back on a pillar of the shed. His deputy general and personal lieutenant were treated slightly better. Although their hands were also tied behind their backs, they were not as immobile as Leiden. When Wu Lai walked in, the two were sitting cross-legged next to Leiden. The deputy general closed his eyes and pretended to be calm, while the personal lieutenant kept secretly glancing at the people in the shed, with panic in his eyes.

After hearing the Assyrian soldiers addressing Wu Lai, Leiden could not help but look at Wu Lai a few more times. Although he had guessed from the flags that Wu Lai would be in the army early on, he did not expect that Wu Lai actually participated in the battle in person - this could be seen from the traces of gunpowder and blood on Wu Lai's clothes.

"Everyone, sit down. You must be tired after fighting all night." Wu Lai smiled and waved his hand, then sat down on a chair that a special forces soldier had brought over.

The Assyrian soldiers smiled and sat back in their seats.

The commander of a regiment hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lord, our division commander..."

"It shouldn't be a big deal. He's in good physical condition. The medicine for MacArthur's injuries is really good." Wu Lai said, "As for you, once the 3rd and 7th regiments gather together, you should go to a company. Have you decided which company to go to?"

The head of the group blushed: "I haven't thought about this yet."

"If you haven't thought it through, then I'll think for you. Go to your division's guard company and ask your division commander to take some time to give you lessons." Wu Lai said with a laugh.

"Don't, Lord." A regiment commander was stunned. "Don't you understand our division commander? Wouldn't he be nagging me to death when I'm in the guard company?"

"Okay, put your question aside for now." Wu Lai pointed at Leiden and the other two, "What's wrong with these three guys?"

"My name is Leiden, Leidensit, the commander of the Canyon Pass." Leiden glanced at Wu Lai, intending to give him an arrogant and contemptuous look to highlight his fearlessness, but he was at a disadvantage as soon as his eyes met Wu Lai's, because he suddenly discovered that there was murderous intent hidden in Wu Lai's eyes.

He wants to kill me? Leiden couldn't help but think so.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"From the Hitt family?" Wu Lai asked indifferently.

"Yes." Leiden raised his chin, but his eyes drifted to the side.

"That can't be helped. The Hitt family is not within the scope of our amnesty." Wu Lai stretched and said, "However, I can still give you a chance to redeem yourself."

"I don't need it!" Leiden refused decisively. "I know you are the Assyrian lord. If you are an upright and noble person, then let's follow the rules of the battlefield."

"Oh?" Wu Lai glanced at Leiden curiously, "What rules?"

"Either you kill me now, or you name a price and I'm willing to redeem my freedom," Leiden replied.

Wu Lai smiled slightly: "It seems that you still don't understand the current situation. You are a prisoner of my Assyrian army. As a prisoner of war, you are not qualified to negotiate conditions."

"Humph!" Leiden snorted coldly and turned his face to the side. "Then there is nothing to say. If you want to kill me, go ahead. Anyway, someone will avenge us."

"Are you talking about the reinforcements you requested from Canyon Pass?" Wu Lai asked with a smile. Seeing that Leiden kept silent, he turned his gaze to the deputy general and the personal lieutenant general, "What about you two? Are you willing to have a chance to redeem yourself?"

The deputy general hesitated for a moment, then turned his face to the side like Leiden did. After his personal attendant rolled his eyes, he nodded slightly and gave Wu Lai a pleading look.

Wu Lai's smile deepened. He pointed at his personal lieutenant and said to a soldier from the special forces company, "Take him down to eat."

"Thank you, Lord." The personal attendant hurriedly bowed his head to express his gratitude. Leiden immediately became angry, glared at the personal attendant, and cursed: "Do you still have any courage as a person favored by God?"

The personal lieutenant stood up and stepped back, answering: "General Leiden, I am a Hurriyet."

"You..." Leiden was so angry, but Wu Lai and others were amused. A soldier from the special forces company walked to the side of the general while laughing and helped him away from the shed.

"Don't be so complacent, our people will be here soon!" Leiden shouted angrily at Wu Lai. Since there was no hope of redeeming himself, he might as well make up his mind to die, which was better than imprisonment and humiliation.

"Really?" Wu Lai smiled slightly and was about to make fun of Leiden when the flag signal soldier on duty at the left end of the stone wall quickly came over.

"Reporting to the lord, an enemy army is rushing towards us on the horse trail seven miles away. The vanguard has nearly a thousand soldiers, including more than four hundred horses and fifty chariots. The rear guard has four thousand soldiers, including one hundred cavalrymen, mostly wearing light armor and carrying spears and bows and arrows." The flag signal soldier reported hurriedly.

As soon as Wu Lai frowned, Leiden on the opposite side burst into laughter and said, "What did I just say? Humph, our troops will be here as soon as we say!"

The deputy general hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of ​​agreeing. The fighting power displayed by the Assyrian army was extraordinary. Although a part of the troops were allocated to chase the defeated soldiers, they also had the advantage of defensive terrain. Moreover, the reinforcements were only 5,000, and it was hard to say who would win. It would not be a good idea to jump out hastily at this moment.

"Come on, tie them up and face the invading enemy." Wu Lai waved his hand, "First and Second Regiments, prepare for battle."

The commanders of the first and second regiments immediately agreed and left to make preparations. Two soldiers from the special forces company came and tied up Leiden and the deputy general again, tying them one on the left and one on the right to a pillar facing the reinforcements.

After personally checking the binding situation, Wu Lai laughed, pulled a chair and sat between the two of them, stretched out his legs and put them on the stone wall.

"Bring me my gun box and ammunition box." Wu Lai smiled and raised his voice...
