Chapter 422 The city gate is broken
"Innocent!"
Standing at the top of Tianyuan City, Ouyang Lixing did not show any panic at all because the other party was finally about to touch his city gate.
On the contrary, he only commented on it with these two words.
City gate?
Ouyang Lixing suddenly felt a sense of ridicule in his heart.
Although the idea of building another city wall outside Tianyuan City was his, Chen Ze's subordinate made a suggestion when he was building it.
This suggestion made Ouyang Lixing adopt it directly without too much entanglement.
That is……
There is no city gate!
No, to be precise, there is still a city gate, but there is only one, and it is located closer to the main troop transportation route, so that if anything happens, he can still have a retreat.
As for the front and left sides, when the new city wall was built, there was no thought of leaving a city gate.
Ouyang Lixing's purpose was just to hold on and guard the last gate of Nantes Province.
Since there are no plans to send troops to attack the other side, why bother leaving the city gate?
The city gate that the soldiers of the Qingyang Empire saw was nothing more than a city gate deliberately inlaid on a solid wall. They just wanted to have a certain confusing effect and attract the other party's attention to the city gate.
It was convenient for Ouyang Lixing to launch an intensive attack.
You must know that the new city wall is seamlessly built outside the old city wall. The thickness of the new and old city walls has reached an outrageous level. Even if it is compared to the city wall of the main city of Xingxing, it is stronger and thicker.
Such a city wall cannot be broken by just a ram.
When the soldiers of the Qingyang Empire finally rushed forward and used their rams to attack the so-called city gate, all they were left with was despair.
With the attack power of the ram, it is estimated that the fake city gate embedded in the wall will be smashed. But after it is smashed, they will find that behind the city gate is not what they expected, but a road leading to the interior of Tianyuan City.
path, but...
Or a city wall.
Will Zheng Yuanyun vomit blood because of this?
Ouyang Lixing guessed with a lot of humor, and at the same time he was quite proud of this arrangement.
You know, if Zheng Yuanyun arrived at Tianyuan City and found that there were no gates on the other side's city walls, would he still order an attack on the city?
It is estimated that he will think of more and guess Ouyang Lixing's true purpose from this.
In order to keep Zheng Yuanyun outside Tianyuan City, all Ouyang Lixing paid was just a fake city gate, which cost no more than a thousand taels of silver.
So this was the reason why he felt confident and ordered the soldiers to suspend the offensive and start replenishing ammunition.
At this moment, the Qingyang soldiers who did not know the authenticity of the city gate were already rushing to the city gate. During the charge, they had already adjusted their queues. They formed a team of five hundred people, each pushing an extremely heavy charge.
Hammer, roaring with all his strength to cheer himself up, seeing that the three rams at the forefront were about to hit the city gate!
At this moment, even Zheng Yuanyun, who was in charge of the central army, could not help but straighten his body and nervously looked at the approaching charge.
What if you could really smash the opponent's city gate with one blow?
The opponent's offensive stalled for a while, which also confirmed Zheng Yuanyun's previous guess that Ouyang Lixing did not really have many troops in Tianyuan City.
And that troop transportation thoroughfare, which didn't look out of the ordinary, was probably the focus of the opponent's ambush.
Unfortunately, he did not fall for this trick, but chose to play it slow and let Tianyuan City open the breakthrough first.
Fight down one city after another!
Although he lost nearly 300,000 troops outside Tianyuan City as soon as he came up, the result before him seemed to be slightly better after all.
Not to mention that he was about to break open the opponent's city gate at the main city gate. He also repeated his old tricks. After attracting the opponent's attention on the frontal battlefield, he used his superior force to attack the left city gate, which had a relatively weaker defense.
This time, Ouyang Lixing must be beaten until he loses sight of one thing!
In a bilateral battlefield, no matter which side gains the advantage, it will be an excellent opportunity for him to capture Tianyuan City in one fell swoop!
In fact, he had already begun to give orders, ordering the Chinese army to begin to press forward. After the vanguard troops broke open the city gate, they would be supported by the powerful cavalry and rush through the opponent's city gate at high speed.
The void exposed by the loss of defense.
In this way, win it in one fell swoop!
The wish is good.
So, just as everyone in the Qingyang Empire, including Zheng Yuanyun, was waiting for the moment when the city gate shattered, several loud noises shook the entire battlefield!
The city gate is broken!
Everyone who was paying close attention to the Tianyuan City Gate suddenly saw that just after several rams hit the city gate, the seemingly solid city gate actually shattered!
At this moment, even Zheng Yuanyun couldn't help but jump up.
He never expected that after successive defeats, luck would come so suddenly!
You must know that the frontal battlefield was supposed to be used by him as a cover. With the intensity of the opponent's artillery fire before, he never thought that he could attack the opponent's city gate so easily later. Moreover, Ouyang Lixing on the top of the city actually
As if he had lost his mind, he turned a blind eye to the charge of his soldiers and took no other countermeasures at all.
You might as well...splash some boiling oil on it to block it!
At this moment, Zheng Yuanyun felt a little blushing for Ouyang Lixing. Such a general was actually called General Zhu Yanzhi, who was comparable to General Qingyang?
Is it enough to defend the city just by throwing rocks for a few rounds?
The city gate is broken!
From now on, if Ouyang Lixing wants to defend Tianyuan City, he will have to pay a greater price and use human lives to fill the gap at the city gate. And is his military strength as good as his own?
"Very good, the whole army will... attack?"
In the midst of excitement, Zheng Yuanyun pointed his sword forward, preparing to let all the troops rush forward with all their strength so as to gain an absolute advantage when the opponent came to defend the city gate.
However, as soon as the words were spoken, the momentum of the last word plummeted.
attack?
Where to attack?
Zheng Yuanyun's expression suddenly changed.
Due to his habitual thinking, he certainly would not have any doubts about the gate of Tianyuan City.
Siege warfare, right?
Isn't it necessary to play a game around the opponent's city gate? Whether the defender can keep the city gate intact or the attacker can cut through the defense at the city gate. This is the key to a siege!
But……
Damn it, is this a city gate?
After smashing the broken copper city gate, the opening that Zheng Yuanyun hoped to see did not appear.
What he saw, and what all the Qingyang Empire soldiers saw, was a wall that represented despair!
Chapter completed!
