The offensive and defensive sides fought fiercely on the city and under the city, and everyone was speeding up their investment in order to ensure their advantage in the battle. Under the west city, the Seventh Army Assault Battalion had already fought with the Yuan army rushing out of the secret door. In order to prevent accidental injury, the artillery attack had stopped. The enemy troops on the city also threw rats and were afraid to shoot arrows, and threw down the rolling stones.

On this river bank more than ten feet wide, thousands of people had gathered on both sides, all wanting to crush the other side with their superiority in military strength. The Song army kept squeezing forward in order to seize the foothold; while the Yuan army guarded the city, blocked the waves of attacks from the Song army, ensured the unblocking of the secret doors, so that they could continuously obtain reinforcements, or prevent the enemy from invading from the secret doors.

In such a narrow area, all formations, formations and cooperation are nonsense. The soldiers on both sides are fighting with instinct. The people in front have no way out, and it is impossible to avoid the battle. They are completely embraced by the people in the back team. If they want to survive, they can only continue to kill the enemies in front, one after another until they are killed.

The current battle is to fill in the lives of people, kill them, be repelled, and rush up again. The people behind step on the bodies of the people in front of them, and often in a few moments, they become stepping stones for others. Outside the West Gate, it is like a huge meat grinder, ruthlessly devouring life until one party can't support it.

‘Boom!’ A group of Song soldiers rushed to a secret door, threw a pack of explosives into the secret door, making a muffled sound. The rammed earth on it collapsed and a stream of smoke and dust spewed out. I don’t know how many people were buried in it and merged with the city wall. Compared with the tall city wall, this was just like a giant beast yawning, and it could not shake the foundation of the city at all.

Some Song troops also detoured from the flanks, cut into the wall, trying to seize the secret door and enter the city through the way. They opened the way with grenades and rushed in, but many people disappeared silently after entering, and some turned into corpses and were thrown out of the gate by the enemy. They could not make substantial progress for a while, but they still launched attacks again and again in order to find a way to break the city.

Zhao Bing looked at the tragic battlefield through the telescope. His soldiers rushed forward one after another. In just a quarter of an hour, hundreds of lives had filled the seemingly endless vortex of death. The corpses under the city had piled up into a short wall several meters wide. Blood gathered into a bright red stream, flowing into the moat, dyeing the river water red, but in an instant, there was only a touch of pink left in the endless flow of water, disappearing...

In the direction of the south city, a team of Song troops had already climbed up the city wall through the sams destroyed by artillery, and raised a red flag. The troops from subsequent reinforcements immediately gathered and ladders successively to speed up the investment of troops and consolidate the breakthrough. The enemy troops on the city were also crazy, regardless of the artillery fire, and the battle broke out immediately.

In order to ensure flexibility, the commandos of the siege did not carry muskets, only a shield covering the arrows, a ring-headed knife of more than two feet, with more than ten grenades or several small explosive bags, and burning fuses wrapped around their wrists. After they came to the city, they immediately turned to the defense to prevent the enemy from approaching and cover the subsequent troops to enter the city.

Facing the enemy who rushed up, the Song soldiers who had successfully climbed the city kept throwing grenades towards the enemy, but the strength of several people was too weak and they were quickly submerged under the enemy's charge regardless of casualties. However, they also won precious moments for the subsequent troops to climb the city, allowing more comrades to climb to the top of the city, and they immediately fell into the siege of the enemy.

In order to stabilize the gap, the Song soldiers who climbed the city detonated the explosive pack and grenade without hesitation. For a moment, the explosion sounded on the southern city wall, and the flesh and blood turned into bloody rain. More than a dozen lives were exchanged for a moment of breathing, allowing more Song soldiers to climb the city, but their situation was still not good.

With the advantage of geographical advantages, the Yuan soldiers increased their troops from all over the city and attacked the Song army in the upper city from three sides. They had the spare force to divide their troops to attack the Song army under the city. They also understood that the Song army in the upper city was just a scaly patch, and the subsequent enemy troops were killed. Only by expelling the enemy troops under the city, the few people in the city were the dishes on the plate and the meat on the chopping board.

Facing the rain of arrows like locusts on the city, the pouring of tincture oil and hail-like rolling wood and stones, the casualties of the Song army rose straight, and countless people fell on the floating bridge and under the city wall. The Seventh Army still fought to the death and climbed up the city in waves. The ladder was smashed, and they set up the ladder, pushed it, and then stood up again. In order to be able to defend the hard-earned fighter jets, they even ordered artillery soldiers to block and shoot at the top of the city to attack the enemy troops on the city.

Zhao Bing, who was used to life and death, couldn't help but be moved when he saw this tragic scene. The corpse in the book was like a mountain, and blood flowed into a river. But he could not order to stop the attack because he couldn't bear it. Withdrawing now would cause greater losses. Because he understood that only the most tenacious army and the most tenacious soldiers could persevere until the end and win the battle, but this process really made him suffer...

The battle lasted for more than an hour. The main attack direction of the Song army seemed to have been clear. The focus of the competition had appeared. The Mongolian and Yuan troops continued to mobilize to the south city and the west city. When the two armies were fighting fiercely, there were suddenly a series of loud noises from the Madam City in the northwest corner of the city. The sounds overwhelmed the shouts of killing on the city. The continuous explosions made both sides fighting to stop and look to the northwest at the same time.

The 1st Division of the Seventh Army took advantage of the darkness to come out of the camp last night and quietly hid under the northern embankment of the Han River. Their mission was to attack the "Madam City" at the right time and opened a breakthrough since then. When the enemy and us were fighting fiercely, the Yuan army's attention was attracted to the Nancheng and Xicheng, Liu Chao ordered the flying thunder artillery team to fire. More than 40 flying thunder artillery concentrated under the embankment opened fire almost at the same time, throwing a thousand kilograms of gunpowder into the wife's city.

Madam City was built in the northwest of Xiangyang, which was used to protect the northwest corner of Xiangyang City. Zhao Bing had noticed this when surveying the terrain. He reviewed relevant documents and found out the current situation through spies. Madam City was originally built by Mrs. Han in order to resist the Former Qin Fu Jian's army, so that after the outer city was captured, she could continue to fight against the enemy.

Therefore, at the beginning, Madam City was not a city, but a section of the city wall. Later generations repaired it many times, especially in the fifth, seventh, and eleventh year of Chunyou, Xiangyang City, including Madam City, three times. The zicheng was built in the northwest corner, and Madam City was worthy of its name, but the Zicheng was very small, less than ten feet long and wide.

Zhao Bing used this as a breakthrough point. First, it is connected to the north embankment of the Han River. Without the obstacles of the moat, it can directly drive troops under the city; second, the Madam City is closely connected to the main city wall, which can be used as a springboard to go directly to the city; third, because Madam City is a post-built, its scale cannot be compared with the main city wall. In addition, it is close to the river bank and is susceptible to leakage and erosion of the river water, which is the weakest point of the entire city defense.

So at present, both in the West and South City are smoke bombs. In order to achieve a sudden effect, Zhao Bing personally inspected the river embankment, selected the lurking ground, and formulated a plan to achieve the effect of a surprise weapon. The artillery bombardment of Xiangyang North City and crossing the river to land on the north bank dock were all to attract the attention of the enemy and to cover the main attacking troops lurking behind the river embankment.

Now it seems that Zhao Bing's plan is very successful, and the enemy has never discovered the troops lurking under his nose. The results of the flying thunder cannon were beyond his expectations. In order to facilitate deployment, he improved the flying thunder cannon before the war, installed a stronger base plate, and installed wheels. This is like a super-large mortar. There is no need to dig the soil pit first when firing, but use sandbags to press and hoe to increase its shooting stability.

This allowed the flying thunder cannons to be quickly arranged before the attack, and before the enemy took measures, they were caught off guard. The effect of the shelling was greatly unexpected than Zhao Bing's surprise. The initial purpose was to make the enemy lose counterattack ability in a short time and win time for the assault troops to go up to the city. But now more than a thousand kilograms of gunpowder were thrown into the wife's city and exploded in a relatively narrow and closed space. The huge impact not only destroyed the city gate in an instant, but also blew the northwest corner...

"Charge!" Liu Chao, the commander of the first division, shouted and issued an attack order after the explosion. More than a dozen military horns were blown at the same time, and the shrill horns immediately sounded. Thousands of Song soldiers lurking under the river embankment jumped up and rushed towards the city as fast as possible. The collapsed city walls did not even need to set up a ladder. The vanguard climbed to the top of the city in just over a dozen breaths, but there was no resistance in the process.

"This is hell!" Zhang Ming, the commander of the first regiment who rushed to the city, immediately rushed to the front of the city, looked around and sighed. He had seen the power of the thunder cannon many times in the battle to break through the three levels, but the situation in front of him still shocked him.

The strong explosion impact of the huge explosive pack was produced, and no grass was growing wherever it passed. The small Wing City was scorched earth, and there was no complete corpse or even a complete weapon. The enemy who was blown down on the city often could not find any wounds, but they were bleeding from seven holes, which was obviously shocked to death.
