As the loud noise fell, a dozen breaths later, there were countless panicked shouts.

"They are breaking down the city gate! Stop them!"

"We can't let them break through the city gate, quick!!"

Urgent shouts rang out one after another, and as the sound spread, the people on the city wall inevitably fell into panic.

Xiao Hu held his breath and concentrated, and also slowed down the speed of his archery. In fact, he couldn't figure out how many people he had hit with the arrows he shot during this period. It seemed that this was just an instinctive action.

And now, through the arrow window, he could see a large cloud of gray smoke rising below him.

It was obvious that the enemy was breaking through the city gate, but Xiao Hu knew that the outer city gate was different from the Yangma City Gate, and it was much more solid than the outer city gate.

There are two gates in the outer city wall. The outermost one is a gate weighing a thousand pounds and made of fine iron. If you want to pull it up on a normal day, you have to rely on a wheel mechanism. Put chains on several horses and turn the turntable together to pull it up.

Once they fall, they are so solid that not only a battering ram but even artillery shells would not be able to break those iron pillars in a short time.

But compared to the outer gate, the second door is slightly fragile. However, even so, it is also thick. It is made of solid wood and covered with half a finger thick iron sheet on the outside, and rivets are embedded on it. Weapons such as crossbows cannot penetrate it and are even bounced to the ground, leaving only some scratches on the door at most.

But the loud noise that occurred at this moment made Xiao Hu realize that the enemy was forcibly using artillery to blast. Xiao Hu knew that they were probably the only ones who could do such a thing of wasting precious artillery.

This also means that these enemy troops are attacking the city with an extremely terrible will, and they have no intention of spending too much time on this city.

Are they planning to capture Nanze overnight? Xiao Hu thought anxiously.

At this time.

"boom!"

Another loud noise was heard, and the strong vibration made the dust on the ground float up. Xiao Hu couldn't help but fall into panic.

He just took a step forward, trying to see what was happening at the city gate, but suddenly, he turned around and jumped to the side.

next moment.

With a "bang", the bricks and stones in the arrow window fell down, and several small pieces of broken stones shot in all directions.

Xiao Hu had already fallen to the ground, covering his face and wailing.

"Ahhh!"

Amidst a heart-wrenching scream, a stream of blood flowed out from his covered cheek. The pain from his left eye made Xiao Hu scream uncontrollably and roll over on the ground.

It was a piece of gravel that hit his left eye.

"Bang bang bang!"

Amid the screams, the sound of artillery fire from below the city became more and more intense.

In addition to the large-caliber tiger squat cannon, several Portuguese cannons were also firing at the city wall. The tiger squat cannon had a thicker barrel, so the caliber of the shells it loaded was larger. At the moment, Yan Bing was using them to suppress the artillery positions on the city wall.

The Portuguese cannon is different. This type of cannon with a long boring barrel and a slightly smaller caliber can fire continuously. In addition, it can be loaded with multiple lead bullets at a time. Although they are all small-caliber lead bullets, they are dense enough to have extremely strong lethality to the human body.

Now the artillerymen were using Portuguese cannons to fire continuously at the archers and musketeers on the city walls. The dense firepower had made it difficult for them to raise their heads.

As for those people hiding in the arrow window, the Portuguese cannon fired indiscriminately at the window. Anyway, there were multiple shotgun shells fired, and as long as one of them hit the arrow window, it would be enough for them to suffer.

Jin Teng, who was hiding at the back, looked at the increasingly fierce attack from the opposite side and his face turned pale at the moment. As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to all wrong. He allowed the enemy to enter Yangma City easily and now he had to face their unstoppable offensive.

Looking around, there were a lot of people lying on the road. Many of them were hit by shells, and the number of wounded was exaggerated. Once hit by stray bullets, they almost lost their combat effectiveness.

In this situation, Jin Teng knew that he could no longer bear it, but the anger in his heart was growing stronger and stronger.

"We shouldn't have abandoned the Sheep and Horse Wall so quickly! We can't handle it now!"

"You son of a bitch Wang Chong, look at what you have done! What can I use to stop you now?"

Jin Teng cursed to the left, but he did not see Wang Chong. Before he could take a closer look, he heard the deputy general beside him shouting:

"General, General Wang was just hit by a stray bullet and is lying down!"

Jin Teng was stunned and looked down. Sure enough, he saw a person lying at the feet of a group of musketeers. No, it should be a corpse.

A bloody hole the size of a fist appeared on the man's face. Although his features were destroyed, Jin Teng recognized him at a glance from his armor and he was the defending general Wang Chong of Yangma Wall.

"Damn it, you just died like that! You died a happy death!"

"I have to bite the bullet and fight!"

Sweat dripped from Jin Teng's brow. Just as he cursed, he suddenly noticed a flash of light. Almost at the same time, a deafening noise occurred at the city gate!

"boom!"

Along with the loud noise, extremely thick white smoke rose from below. The bright moon hung high in the night sky, and at this moment, a layer of fog seemed to have risen in Yangma City.

Jin Teng's whole body trembled violently, and a chilling thought emerged in his mind.

"Could it be... that the city gate was breached?"

After about ten breaths, panicked shouts began to sound:

"The city gate is broken! The city gate is broken!"

"They are going to enter Wengcheng!"

Different from the panicked shouts, the Yan soldiers now made enthusiastic cheers like wolf howls.

"Kill! Kill!"

"Rush in with all your might, capture Nanze tonight! Charge into the palace!!"

Boom boom boom!

Carriages rushed forward one after another, and the huge torrent of steel washed away everything.

Jin Teng was sweating profusely. He grabbed the deputy general in a trance and said, "Quick! Quick! Go and inform the people in the main tower that they have entered the city!"

The deputy general's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "General, there is no need to notify them. They will see us once we enter the city wall."

Jin Teng finally came back to his senses from his trance, but he became even more frightened because of it. The Sheep and Horse Wall was lost so quickly, and the Outer City had now been attacked by the enemy, and now there were Yan soldiers rushing in from behind. At a glance, almost all of them were their people, and there were so many weapons that it was terrifying.

If the current battle situation were to be known by the people in the imperial city, I'm afraid no one would be able to live in peace tonight.

"There's no other way. We can only fight to the death with them in the outer city!" Jin Teng clenched his teeth, his face turning ferocious.

Next, we must use the most brutal means to kill the enemy soldiers who break into Waiweng City!

On top of the main city tower.

The Qian army guarding the city tower had already made preparations, and the moment the Yan soldiers blew open the city gate, the defending general Jin Yan ordered the messenger to send the news to the imperial city.

Inside the imperial city, Jin Fengluan was still sitting upright, but she couldn't stand the coming of the late night. At this moment, she covered her mouth and yawned.
