C12 Nocturnal attack on pine leaf city
However, Chang Wanli's actions were very wrong. At this moment, the spear was already stuck in Cheng Dongxing's body. If Chang Wanli were to twist the spearhead again, it would undoubtedly make his spear even more firmly stuck in Cheng Dongxing's body and impossible to pull out. Just as Chang Wanli was trying his best to pull out his spear, Cheng Dongxing managed to resist the excruciating pain in his body. He brandished his battle axe and viciously chopped at Chang Wanli's right leg. After being struck by Cheng Dongxing's battle axe, Chang Wanli half-knelt on the ground.
At this moment, Cheng Dongxing sent a flying kick towards Chang Wanli's chest. Cheng Dongxing's kick had hit Chang Wanli's heart, so after being kicked, Chang Wanli had fallen to the ground and was temporarily unable to catch his breath. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Dongxing swung his axe at Chang Wanli's forehead. Cheng Dong exerted all of his strength in using this axe to chop Chang Wanli's head in half. After being struck, the blood and brain matter in Chang Wanli's head flowed out.
At the same time, Chen Jigang had also rushed over with his troops. When the soldiers of the Song Army saw that Chang Wuji had been killed by Cheng Dongxing and that the support of the Wind Frost Nation's army had arrived, they immediately lost all will to fight and turned around to flee. Seeing the Song Army soldiers that he had sent to be defeated just like that, Chang Wanguang immediately said angrily, "Dammit, why did they be defeated just like that? Call Chang Wanli over and have him come to see me." But what made Chang Wanguang feel strange was that after he gave the order, Chang Wanli did not come over.
Chang Wanguang said to one of his personal guards, "What's going on? Why hadn't Chang Wanli arrived yet? "Go and urge them on." However, a few Song Army soldiers stumbled towards Chang Wanguang at this moment. Seeing the Song Army soldiers in such a sorry state, Chang Wanguang angrily asked, "What happened?" How could they be so easily defeated by the army of the Windfrost Nation? " Hearing Chang Wanguang's words, one of the Song Army soldiers nervously said, "General, General, something bad happened!"
"Not good? "What's wrong with that?" Chang Wanguang asked doubtfully. "Ten thousand kilometers … General Chang Li has died in battle." "That soldier of the Song Army said nervously." What? You, you keep talking, who died? " Chang Wanguang said in disbelief. Hearing Chang Wanguang's words, the soldier from the Song Army said again, "General Chang Wanli just died in battle." The words of this soldier from the Song Army made Chang Wanguang feel as if his body had lost all of its power in an instant.
Chang Wan Guang raised his head to look at Pine Leaf City, and muttered to himself: "Chang Wan Li died, and Chang Wan Li died here. I only have Chang Wanli, this little brother of mine. After he finished speaking, Chang Wanguang fell silent and did not say another word. The personal guards and high-ranking officers beside Chang Wanguang naturally did not dare to touch his bad luck at this moment. "So that's how it is. Could it be that the army was defeated? So it was Chang Li who died in battle." Chang Wanguang said calmly once again.
Although Chang Wanguang's words were calm, the calmer his tone was, the more afraid the commanders beside him would be. After a while, Chang Wanguang suddenly shouted loudly, "Damn you, Windfrost Nation, damn you!" I want to take over Pine Leaf City, I want to kill all the citizens of the Wind and Frost race in Pine Leaf City. Let the army attack at once, and attack again. I must fill the trenches today. If there's no way to do so, all the generals shall be executed. "
Previously, Chang Wanguang's attack on Pine Leaf City was under the orders of the commander. But now, after Chang Wuji had died in battle, Chang Wanguang's attack on Pine Leaf City had become a personal feud. Hearing Chang Wanguang's words, all the commanders rushed to lead their troops towards the trenches outside of Pine Leaf City.
They knew that Chang Wanguang was currently in a rage, and if they dared to hesitate even a little over Chang Wanguang's orders, they would definitely be executed by him without the slightest hesitation. Even though he would have to pay a heavy price to fill the trench under his command, in the eyes of this general of the Song Kingdom, the death of his soldiers was still better than his own death.
This time, because of Chang Wanguang's strict order, the soldiers of the Song Army once again went forward to fill up the trenches. The giant shield crossbow under Chen Junlin's command continued firing at the soldiers from the Song Army with his crossbow. In the army of the Great Wei Empire, crossbow bolts were not frequently used. Thus, this time, Chen Junlin did not obtain much crossbow bolts from the Great Wei Empire's army.
The thousand crossbows used by the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers were all the crossbows of the Great Wei Empire army. As the number of crossbows was limited, the number of crossbows that could be used was also low. Each crossbow only had twenty-five bolts. Therefore, after shooting 15 bolts, the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers stopped their attacks. After all, Chen had to ensure that the Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers had enough crossbow bolts in their hands in order to deal with the following attacks from the Song Army. After losing the crossbow arrow, the last ditch naturally had no meaning. Thus, Chen Junlin watched as the Song Army soldiers slowly filled up the last trench. Thus, the Song Army soldiers finally filled up the last trenches in Pine Leaf City, creating three trenches that were similar to the ones from the previous two trenches.
At this time, Chang Wanguang gradually calmed down. As he calmed down, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat from his previous actions. Chang Wanguang knew that just now, after hearing the news of Chang Wanli's death, his decision was undoubtedly stupid. This was because when his soldiers from the Song Army had appeared to fill up the trenches, they had been targets of the army. However, upon seeing Pine Leaf City, he only needed to fire five bolts before stopping. Chang Wanguang could already tell that. The crossbow bolts in Pine Leaf City were about to run out. Looking at the thousands of soldiers from the Song Army that were killed in a short amount of time, Chang Wanguang felt a wave of pain in his heart. Chang Wanguang couldn't help but feel a sense of relief because he knew that if it wasn't for the limited number of crossbow bolts in the Pine Leaf City. This time, at least five or six thousand of his soldiers from the Song Army had died in front of the last ditch.
Since the crossbow bolts of Pine Leaf City had already been used up, Chang Wanguang could no longer feel any fear. Thus, Chang Wanguang began to have his subordinates continuously fill up the other trenches to prepare for the upcoming battle. It was already night after the Song Army soldiers had completely filled all the trenches. After Chang Wanguang made the Song Army soldiers eat dinner, he set up more than ten huge bonfires between his tent and Pine Leaf City.
Looking at the bonfire that was ignited, whether it was Chen Junlin, Cheng Dongxing or even an ordinary soldier of the Wind Frost Nation, they all knew that the Song Army soldiers were going to attack Pine Leaf City at night. After setting up the fire, the soldiers of the Song Army started pushing the twelve siege towers toward Pine Leaf City. Along with these siege towers, there were also two city carriages. Looking at the approaching siege tower, Chen Junlin sneered and said, "The soldiers of the Song Army have arrived. Let them have a taste of the burning oil." "Attack."
Upon hearing Chen Junlin's words, Cheng Dongxing immediately began to command his troops. He started to make use of the throwing machines to create mud in the slowly moving siege towers. The mud was filled with the kerosene Chen had brought with him from the army of the Great Wei Empire and the kerosene he had plundered in Pine Leaf City. At the same time, Chen also let the soldiers rope into a net, seven or eight mud into a net. Although the stone-throwing machine could shoot out these items, its accuracy was limited. However, Chen Junlin naturally knew this. It was not until the Song Army soldiers had pushed the tower closer to Pine Leaf City that Chen Junlin gave the order to attack.
With such a short distance, they could naturally hit the tower easily. In an instant, six of the towers near Pine Leaf City were filled with burning oil, and at this moment, the other countries of the Windfrost Empire shot their flaming bows at the tower, setting it on fire. The tower was set ablaze, and the soldiers of the Song Army on top of it immediately turned into a ball of fire.
The soldiers of the Song Army immediately jumped down from the tower that was ignited by the flames. After the soldiers of the Windfrost Nation ignited six of the towers, the soldiers of the Song Army couldn't help but stop. After all, if the remaining six towers were also destroyed, then they wouldn't be able to continue attacking the Pine Leaf City. However, Chang Wanguang wasn't worried at all, because when Chen Junlin's giant shield crossbow soldiers stopped their attacks, Chang Wanguang knew that Chen Junlin's weapons were limited.
Thinking of this, Chang Wanguang ordered the two towers to move forward, and Chang Wanguang's plan was completely wrong. After igniting the six towers with kerosene, Chen had very little kerosene left in his hands. Chen Junlin knew that if he used up all the fire oil this time, then he would lose his means of defense when facing the Song Army's follow-up attack. Thus, when the soldiers of the Song Army pushed him again, Chen Junlin did not use fire oil to attack.
Chen knew that as long as they could get close to Pine Leaf City, they would face the attack from the Song Army. Therefore, when the two siege towers approached Pine Leaf City, Chen Junlin immediately commanded the two squads of Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers to approach the two siege towers.
As the tower neared Pine Leaf City, a door at the top of the tower opened and soldiers of the Song Army rushed out. However, when these Song Army soldiers rushed out, what awaited them was a large shield crossbow soldier who had already nocked his crossbow. The moment the soldiers of the Song Army rushed out of the tower, the giant shield crossbow soldiers shot out their crossbows.
Chen Junlin subtly distributed the two groups of Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers. On the opposite side of each tower, there were 15 Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers guarding them. The fifteen Giant Shield Crossbow Soldiers were divided into three rows.
