Yang Ding refused to believe anything he said, but the following report forced him to believe it.

Behind the sentry, a soldier covered in blood, whose facial features could barely be seen clearly, rushed up to the tower. When he got closer, Yang Ding discovered that this was actually Dou Ying, the leader of the team he had personally sent to the city to attack!

"Dou Ying, what's wrong with you?"

Not only was Dou Ying's face covered in blood, his armor was even broken into several pieces, with blood dripping everywhere.

Seeing his appearance, you don't need to think too much to know what kind of fierce battle he went through under the city.

"Report to the general, a corner of the east city gate was blown open by the Jin army!"

"The whole corner has collapsed, something big happened!"

Although Dou Ying escaped by chance, he did not bring good news to Yang Ding, but made Yang Ding even more angry.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Take me down and have a look!"

Yang Ding fell into madness and quickly followed Dou Ying and others down the tower to check. He even forgot to send extra manpower to guard against the Jin army's attack.

Chaos!

Total chaos!

A thunderbolt appeared in the sky in Nanyang City. Not only the ordinary people in Nanyang City, but also the Qin army stationed here were stunned by this battle.

They had never seen such a battle before. The moment the gunpowder packets exploded into pieces, the Qin soldiers were simply out of their minds.

The brave ones knew how to retreat bit by bit with their weapons in hand, but those soldiers who followed Dou Ying and fled back did not have such courage.

Some of them were defeated soldiers who once ran wild with Yang Bi under Xinye City. They had experienced several blows from firearms and were on the verge of collapse.

Now I heard this thunderous series of loud noises again. The city wall, which was originally as solid as a rock, and no one could touch it, was a solid wall of blue bricks. A big hole was opened just like this, and right in front of the Qin soldiers

In front of you.

Such a magical event happened like this.

Those Qin soldiers who were close to the city wall and could see clearly went crazy immediately. Seeing the figures of the Jin army appearing in the holes in the broken wall of the collapsed city wall, they did not dare to attack head-on. Instead, they turned around and headed all the way.

Run to the city.

Even if they abandoned their helmets and armor, it was no longer possible to describe their miserable state. They simply fled back to the city, rolling and crawling.

"Brothers, go home quickly and lock the doors and windows!"

"Don't let the Qin soldiers enter!" Several strong men jumped down from the earth wall and shouted loudly.

Yang Ding has not had time to pay attention to the status of ordinary people in Nanyang City for a long time. Of course, he also knows that the city is now in chaos. Those people who have been ready to take action for a long time, if they are given a gun now, they can immediately fight back.

.

However, even if the city is in chaos, Yang Ding can't spare the time to manage it. His top priority now is to protect Nanyang City, not to worry about what the villagers who can't take a step out of Nanyang City are doing.

Seeing the Qin soldiers fleeing back to the city, the villagers immediately returned home in high spirits. The rich and the poor, at this critical moment, actually reached an astonishing unity.

Close the door and lock it!

No Qin soldiers can even get in!

If the Han people don't welcome them, they will just stand on the street and wait to die!

If these fleeing soldiers really couldn't find a building to hide in, they would really have no choice but to stand on the street and wait to die.

There is nothing false in what the villagers say.

To understand this, we have to start with the concept of city building in ancient times.

No matter how large and populous an ancient city was, its structure was still relatively simple and could not be compared with modern metropolises made of reinforced concrete.

So in a city built with such a civil structure, the focus of defense, in addition to city gates and walls, cannot be relaxed in the streets.

There are also some means of strengthening defense. In addition to watchtowers for warning, there are also various reinforced earth slopes, hard buildings, and soft buildings, which can achieve the purpose of continuing the battle.

Some cities are close to famous mountains and rivers. When planning the city, these mountains and rivers will naturally be regarded as the focus of defense.

Occupy favorable positions on mountain peaks and along water bodies, set up forts and sentries, and have an unobstructed view of the threats below.

In addition to these methods, there is also a conventional city-building concept, which is: doors cannot face each other, and roads cannot connect.

The reason why the doors are not facing each other is that if you enter the Wengcheng gate, you can't easily step into the formal city gate.

And what if the roads are not connected?

What we are talking about is the roads in the city. Ancient cities were generally built according to the principles in "Zhou Rites". Even with some self-innovation, the general direction will not change.

Originally, the emphasis on ancient city roads was that the roads were straight and extended in a format. When you look down from the city, it is best to see the neatly divided frames of the city.

However, it is precisely because the roads are straight that it also brings some difficulties to the defense of the city. When the enemy forces rush into the city, they can easily go directly from the north gate to the south gate and sweep across the whole city.

It was also difficult for the soldiers in the city to organize an effective defense, and they almost had no choice but to wait and be captured.

In order to prevent such a situation and allow the soldiers in the city to continue to resist, or even turn against the wind and drive the invaders out of the city, the smart ancestors came up with this method.

They staggered every straight road so that you could not go directly from one road to that road, especially the road near the city gate, which was even more impossible to connect from north to south and east to west.

Relying on this design, it is possible to delay the city's capture, allowing soldiers to organize street fighting and continue to fight.

The topic returns to Nanyang City. Once the people in the city are unwilling to protect the Qin soldiers, and once the Jin army enters the city, it will not be easy for the Qin soldiers to escape if they are faced with roads that are not connected to each other.

They might be killed and captured by the Jin army soon.

However, aren't the people who have closed their doors afraid of the Qin soldiers?

Everyone knows that the Qin soldiers are cruel and kill without batting an eye. Those ancient doors are all made of civil structures. They are armed with sharp weapons and are extremely powerful. It is too easy for the Qin soldiers to break in.

Once they find out that the people in the city dare to disobey them, with their cruel personalities, they will definitely go on a killing spree!

However, as time passed bit by bit, the imagined crisis did not happen!

Could it be that this wave of people in Nanyang City are particularly lucky?

Are you blessed by God?

Of course it’s impossible!

They were able to escape by chance, and now they are staying safely in their homes to watch the excitement. This is all because Qin Bing was too frightened and had no intention to care about them.

Even the violence and tyranny they had always been good at were forgotten. The Qin soldiers who fled all the way from the city gate could no longer tell their direction. They did not dare to stop, let alone make a sound, for fear of being alarmed.

The monster outside the city gate.

monster!

This time, no one will doubt the authenticity of Yang Bi's words. The Jin army really has monsters in their hands!

They are driving monsters to attack Nanyang City!

It is a pity that General Yang, who was the first to stand up and tell the truth, has died tragically at the gate of Nanyang City. If his brother could have believed him earlier, maybe today's Di Qin army would not have suffered this disaster!

How can human power compete with demonic power?

Wouldn’t it be nice to surrender early?

If the impact of the pistol on the Qin soldiers was to make it difficult for the soldiers to charge and greatly reduce their combat effectiveness, then the gunpowder packs were the thing that made the Qin soldiers frightened!

Their minds were completely disturbed, and they even forgot about the Jin soldiers who died tragically under Nanyang City. The swollen corpses floating in the ditch were obviously killed by their own hands.

Obviously the Jin army also suffered great losses, but the Qin soldiers completely forgot about this reality.

In front of them, there is only one goal left, and that is to run!

Keep running, as long as they can still run, they can survive!

…………

"Something big happened!"

"The wall collapsed!"

"Zhiyuan, Jinu, come quickly, let's rush in!"

When Mr. Huan was away, Liu Chun naturally took over his duties and became the most optimistic and cheerful general on the Nanyang battlefield.

Putting the pistol on his waist, he picked up the steel knife and actually ran to the front.

This old man is too bold!

How can he take on such an important task as attacking a city?

Wang Mi couldn't care about anything else and rushed forward to cooperate with Liu Chun. However, Liu Yu did not follow Lao Liu's command and ran in the opposite direction.

Gather your troops and fight to the death!

Yes!

Now it's time to decide the winner, and all heads must be collected!

Although it is obvious that the Jin army is at a numerical disadvantage and cannot be compared with the Qin army, Liu Yu's principle has always been to do something he knows cannot be done.

There is never a war that is guaranteed to win. As long as you are a soldier, as long as you stand on the battlefield, your life is in your own hands.
