C15 Chen junlin's siege tower
It was obvious that Cheng Dongxing's strength had already frightened these soldiers. The soldiers of the Song Army no longer dared to attack Cheng Dongxing.
However, Cheng Dongxing did not intend to let them go. Cheng Dongxing rushed towards two Song Army soldiers. Seeing Cheng Dongxing's attack, one of the Song Army soldiers raised his saber to defend, but the other soldier just turned around and ran away. Seeing that his comrade had fled, the originally nervous Song Jun halted his steps. However, at this moment, Cheng Dongxing's axe had already arrived beside the Song Army soldier and beheaded him.
After killing this soldier of the Song Army, Cheng Dongxing coldly glanced at an siege tower that had soldiers of the Song Army rushing out in a steady stream. Cheng Dongxing knew that if he did not destroy these towers, the Song Army soldiers would not be able to fight back at all.
Although the Song Army soldiers' attacks were very fierce, but at this time, Chen had no other choice. Seeing that there were many Song Army soldiers rushing in from below and above the city walls of Pine Leaf City, Chen Junlin immediately ordered, "Chen Jigang, get the soldiers to bring up our siege towers. I want the Song Army soldiers to have a good look and see whether the Song Army soldiers are powerful or not, or if I, Chen Junlin, am powerful."
Hearing Chen Junlin's order, Chen Jigang immediately commanded the soldiers of the Windfrost Nation to push up the four siege towers. The siege towers that the soldiers of the Windfrost Nation had brought out were very different from those used by the soldiers of the Song Army.
First of all, Chen's siege towers were taller than the ones used by the Song soldiers. These towers were three meters taller than the walls of Songye City. Secondly, these siege towers all had a large number of shooting holes in their bodies, allowing the soldiers of the Windfrost Nation to shoot crossbow bolts inside the siege tower. However, at such a time, because the size of the tower was limited, in order to be able to use the crossbow bolts better, the soldiers had already taken off the shields on their backs.
Although he no longer had a shield behind him, he still continued to use his crossbow to attack. Such a design was enough for these soldiers to not only shoot the soldiers of the Song Army below the city walls with crossbows. The areas above the city walls of Pine Leaf City could also be used to shoot down the soldiers of the Song Army on top of the city walls.
When defending a city, they would usually use the Walls City to increase their defense. However, the Pine Leaf City didn't have the Walls City, so Chen Junlin could only use the siege towers to replace the Walls City. As soon as the tower was pushed out, it started shooting at the soldiers of the Song Army.
After the shooting, both the soldiers on the city wall and below the city walls were greatly suppressed. Taking this opportunity, Chen Junlin shouted loudly, "Chen Jigang, quickly get the reserve troops to charge forward and use this opportunity to chase away the soldiers of the Song Army!" Hearing Chen Junlin's order, Chen Jigang immediately ran to the back of the military formation.
Soon, Chen Jigang brought over five thousand soldiers of the Song Army and rushed out of the city. At this time, although the soldiers of the Song Army were still struggling to survive, there were simply too many soldiers rushing forward. Even if the soldiers of the Song Army were unwilling to retreat, they were all beheaded by the soldiers of the Wind Frost Kingdom. "Under the attack of the Imperial Army, the Song Army soldiers were forced to leave Pine Leaf City.
Although the soldiers of the Song Army had been forced out, the soldiers of the Song Army outside of Pine Leaf City were still trying their best to rush in. At this time, Chen Junlin ordered the army to firmly withstand the Song Army soldiers' charge, not allowing them to rush in. At the same time, he also ordered his soldiers to clean up the trenches, preparing to fight the Song Army soldiers once again.
At this time, because of the support of the crossbow bolts, the soldiers of the State of Frost began to retaliate against the soldiers of the Song Army. Cheng Dongxing knew that if he did not destroy the Song Army's siege tower, it would be impossible for him to force the Song Army soldiers to retreat. As he thought of this, Cheng Dongxing turned to a Frost Nation soldier beside him and said, "You, bring a few jars of kerosene over immediately." Cheng Dongxing had been keeping an eye on the tower, so after hearing Cheng Dongxing's words, this soldier of the Frost Wind Nation naturally knew what he was planning to do.
Therefore, this soldier of the State of Feng Shuang did not hesitate at all and immediately ran towards the back. Very soon, the soldier returned, bringing with him three soldiers from the country of Feng Shuang. The four soldiers were holding a muddy water filled with burning oil.
At this time, Cheng Dongxing had gathered more than thirty soldiers from the country of Feng Shuang and saw them walking back. Cheng Dongxing immediately brought the soldiers to charge towards the Song Army's tower. The Tower of Attack was the key for the soldiers of the Song Army rushing to Pine Leaf City. Thus, when they saw Cheng Dongxing charging over with his soldiers, a dozen of the soldiers of the State of Frost immediately surrounded him, wanting to stop his attack.
Seeing the Song Army soldiers surrounding them, Chen Junlin immediately roared and charged towards them. After decapitating a soldier of the Song Army, Cheng Dongxing swung the handle of his axe and struck the two soldiers in front of him on their stomachs.
Cheng Dongxing's axe hilt was made of fine iron and weighed over forty pounds, so when it hit the two soldiers' stomachs, it caused them to bend over from the pain. Under the backlash, Cheng Dongxing's axe bounced back.
Cheng Dongxing quickly grabbed the combat axes that bounced back, and pushed them backwards against the stomachs of the two soldiers from the Song Army. Cheng Dongxing's location was very close to the city wall of Pine Leaf City, so he had only taken four steps when he pushed the two Song soldiers to the side of the city wall. After that, Cheng Dongxing lifted up forcefully and sent the two Song Army soldiers flying. At the same time, the two soldiers of the Song Army fell towards the ground of Pine Leaf City while screaming miserably.
After killing the two Song Army soldiers, Cheng Dongxing quickly walked to the entrance of a tower and killed a Song Army soldier who had just rushed out of the tower. After that, Cheng Dongxing blocked the entrance of the tower. Every time a soldier of the Song Army came out, he would be beheaded immediately by Cheng Dongxing. Although there were many soldiers of the Song Army on the city walls, they were still in the hands of the country of wind and frost. Thus, the number of soldiers of the country of wind and frost far exceeded the number of soldiers of the Song Army.
Now that Cheng Dongxing had blocked the exit of the tower, all the soldiers of the Song Army near the tower were quickly cleared. After killing off all the soldiers from the Song Army nearby, Cheng Dongxing immediately shouted, "Quick, pour the fire oil onto the tower." Hearing Cheng Dongxing's order, a few soldiers from the State of Frost that were carrying mud immediately poured the mud they were carrying onto the tower.
After that, another soldier of the Frost Wind Nation threw a torch from the city wall onto the tower. As soon as the torch landed on the tower, the Song Army soldiers inside the tower were immediately engulfed in flames. The soldiers of the Song Army were searching for the fire on their bodies. Some of the soldiers of the Song Army wanted to rush out of the tower, but the moment they rushed out, they were killed by Cheng Dongxing who was waiting for them at the entrance of the tower.
Some of the Song Army soldiers ran down the tower, trying to escape. However, their bodies were already set ablaze. When they tried to escape from the tower, some of the Song Army soldiers nearby were already on fire. In the blink of an eye, the area around the tower was thrown into chaos. The Song Army soldiers cried out miserably as they were being burned by the flames. The other Song Army soldiers were filled with terror.
Seeing that the tower was engulfed in flames, Cheng Dongxing no longer cared about the tower. Instead, he led the soldiers and charged towards the next tower. At this time, the soldiers of the State of Frost also happened to push the siege towers designed by Chen Junlin over. As soon as the three siege towers appeared, the crossbow soldiers inside immediately began firing at the soldiers of the Song Army in Pine Leaf City.
Over thirty soldiers of the Song Army who wanted to stop Cheng Dongxing's attack became the main targets of these crossbows. It didn't take long for the Song soldiers to suffer heavy casualties as the crossbow arrows were shot from the siege Tower. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Dongxing brought his soldiers to rush to the second tower in one go.
Although the soldiers of the Song Army had tried their best to resist near the tower, they were still no match for Cheng Dongxing. They were all killed instantly. After cleaning up the Song Army, the Frost Wind Nation soldiers didn't hesitate at all. They immediately threw the mud water in their hands onto the tower and set it on fire. At this time, Chen Jigang also rushed up with his reserve team. Other than attacking the soldiers of the Song Army below the city, there were more than five hundred soldiers from the State of Frost directly rushing to the wall of the Pine Leaf City to support Cheng Dongxing.
With the support of these reserve troops, whether it was soldiers from the Song Army on the city wall or soldiers from the Song Army below the city wall, none of them could withstand the counterattack and started to retreat. Seeing this, even though Chang Wanguang was extremely unwilling, he could only give up and begin ordering the troops to retreat. Chen did not order his troops to give chase after the Song army began to retreat.
Looking at the corpses littering the ground, Chen Jigang walked up to Chen Junlin and said, "Prince, we've blocked the Song Army's attack." "They blocked it, it's not easy at all. These soldiers of the Song Army seemed to have gone crazy. I thought we couldn't defend any longer." "Chen Junlin sighed emotionally and said. This is all thanks to His Royal Highness, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have been able to block the Song Army's attack. " Chen Jigang said with a smile.
Hearing Chen Jigang's words, Chen Junlin helplessly shook his head and said, "I'm very curious now, who is the person commanding this Song Army. I've set up so many traps, I originally wanted to heavily injure the Song Army."
