However, the Chu army did not slow down their advance because of this, and still fearlessly advanced towards Xiangshan.

Looking down at the Chu army advancing in an orderly manner, Jin Long murmured in admiration: "As expected of Chen Dao, the soldiers under his command are indeed elite."

In an instant, thousands of Chu troops had crossed the moat. The first wave of siege troops approached the city wall, and more than ten ladders were slowly erected.

A hand-to-hand fight in the city is right in front of you.

Jinlong raised his eyebrows with his sword, murderous aura bursting out of his whole body, he raised his long sword and shouted sternly: "Athletes of the Korean army, fight side by side with me and kill the enemy!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

On the front line of the city, the athletes of the Korean army were excited and roared in unison.

The rumbling roar spread throughout the fields, causing the enemy troops attacking the city to change their expressions.

A few hundred steps away, Chen Dao, who was watching the battle with his sword tightly in hand, couldn't help but change his scarred face slightly, and wondered in his heart: "The Korean army has never been considerate of the soldiers, but now looking at this formation, Jin Long's subordinates seem to be willing to do it for him."

Fighting to the death, what has the Korean army experienced in the past few months to make such a big change?"

Chen Dao couldn't help but feel surprised, and the fighting spirit in his body seemed to be gradually dissipating.

"General, I think this battle is going to be very dangerous. It seems that the other side is prepared. We should charge with the infantry we just recruited."

Ma Kaige, the army commander who was commanding the battle next to him, suggested.

Chen Dao looked disdainfully and snorted coldly: "I am in control of the world, how can I be afraid of anyone?"

After saying that, Chen Dao jumped off his horse, rushed to the drum array in a few steps, and grabbed a drummer's wooden hammer.

He rolled up his sleeves, used a pair of iron arms as round as the mouth of a bowl, and beat the drum vigorously to cheer for his soldiers.

Thousands of people under his command saw Chen Dao beating drums for them in person. Inspired by this, their morale was greatly boosted. The shouts of killing rose up in the sky, gradually overpowering the shouts of the Golden Dragon Army at the top of the city.

On top of the city, the battle to take over the city has begun.

In the north corner, a Chu army hook ladder was first put up on the battlements. This kind of long ladder with a sickle on the top can tightly hook the city wall.

As soon as Fang took over the city, the Chu army, armed with swords and shields, captured the city and bravely climbed up.

The Golden Dragon Army guarding the city was also well prepared. The Luo Shi, the size of a human head, whizzed down and knocked down those Chu soldiers who were unable to dodge from the hook ladder.

Amidst the pitiful howls, an enemy with a bloody reputation fell from the city several feet high and was smashed into a pile of bloody and mangled corpses.

On the front line of the city trench, five hundred Chu army crossbowmen, under the cover of large shieldmen, fired at the defenders at the top of the city to suppress the defenders' counterattack.

In the dense rain of arrows, Korean soldiers were shot in the head one after another. Some fell to death on the top of the city, while others fell to the bottom of the city and mingled with the enemy's corpses.

The golden dragon holding the sword sat in the center of the tower, not moving even a step, calmly commanding the battle.

To the north, under the powerful arrow attack of the Chu army, seven or eight Golden Dragon soldiers were shot down one after another. Subsequent manpower was not available to replace them, and the defense here was immediately weakened.

The Chu army attacking the city took advantage of the situation and climbed up quickly. Three or five strong Chu army sword and shield wielders rushed up to the top of the city.

Seeing this, Jin Long shouted sternly: "Where is Little Saint Jin? Quickly kill the enemies who are attacking the city on the north side!"

Jin Xiaosheng, who was in the middle of a bloody battle, received the order and simply took off half of his armor. He ran towards the north with his arms bare and a big knife in hand.

This Jin Xiaosheng was the son and only son of the Korean general Jinsheng who died in Liaodong. This time, Jin Xiaosheng followed General Jinlong with great sadness.

Amidst the roar, the sword swept out like a wheel.

How could those Chu soldiers be the opponents of Jin Xiaosheng? Amidst the clang of shields, several Chu soldiers who had climbed onto the city were chopped off alive.

Jin Xiaosheng, who was furious and powerful, actually forced back the enemy who had climbed into the city by himself.

Then, he thrust the big knife into the ground, picked up the fork pole on the ground, and pushed the hook ladder towards the hook and ladder with the muscles of his arms swelling to the point of bursting.

In the midst of the violent shouting, Jin Xiaosheng rose up and thrust out the hooked ladder that was several feet high and had seven or eight people lying on it.

Accompanied by a burst of screams, the hook and ladder swayed down, and the weight of several hundred kilograms crashed down, hitting most of the Chu troops on the ground who could not dodge.

Most of those who were hit were killed on the spot, and a few were cut in half at the waist. The cuts were full of bloody flesh, which was extremely cruel.

The first round of violent attacks was blocked by the golden dragon.

In half an hour of fighting, the Chu army suffered hundreds of casualties. The blood dyed the city wall crimson, and the corpses were piled high under the wall.

Kaige, who was in the military formation, saw that Xiangshan City was strong and Jinlong's defenders were very tenacious, and he knew that with the current strength of the army, it was impossible to conquer it.

Kaige didn't want his soldiers to die in vain, so he rode his horse to Guo Tu and shouted: "The Golden Dragon Army has been prepared for a long time. If our army continues to attack forcefully, it will only lose our soldiers. General, I think we should withdraw our troops today.

Let’s take a long-term view in the future.”

"withdraw troops?"

Chen Dao had never retreated because of failure. His nose turned up. "If we retreat after only half an hour of attacking, it would harm the morale of our army. General Kaige, you are afraid of the golden dragon."

Hearing these words, Chen Dao's army, which had never been defeated before, especially Kaige, who was the commander of the army, frowned deeply and felt very angry in his chest. However, he could only grit his teeth secretly and ordered the entire army not to retreat even one step.

Continue to attack.

The Chu army, frustrated in their first attack, could only muster up their morale and continue to attack Xiangshan every two rounds, stepping on the corpses of their companions.

The golden dragon on the top of the city still stands as motionless as a towering iron tower, the blade in its hand flashes with cold light, its red cloak catches the wind, and the big flag with the word "gold" flying proudly above its head.

Facing the second round of Chu army's strong attack, Jin Long showed no fear and continued to command the battle calmly.

One ladder after another was overthrown, and countless enemy soldiers fell to the bottom of the city. Wood, stone, and red-hot molten iron were constantly thrown at the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, there was another bloody battle for half an hour. This time, not even one of the enemy could reach the top of the city.

At the cost of hundreds of casualties, the Golden Dragon successfully blocked the oncoming enemies under the city wall.

Suddenly, an arrow shot through the air and headed straight for the golden dragon.

However, the golden dragon did not move at all. When the arrow was just a few feet away, it slightly tilted its head and its tiger palms came out like lightning.

That extremely powerful arrow was unexpectedly caught by him.

The Chu troops under the city wall were all shocked when they saw the golden dragon catching the arrow with his bare hands.

"Bring me the bow!"

Jin Long shouted angrily and grabbed a stiff bow from one of his subordinates.

The bow is drawn like a crescent moon, and the arrow shoots out like a shooting star.

That sharp arrow shot through the air like the smile of death.

"Poof!"

An arrow hit the enemy soldier who fired the arrow, impartially, and hit his head squarely.

Jin Long's hundred-step magic shot inspired the Korean soldiers on the city wall and they all cheered loudly.

The morale of the Chu troops below the city was dampened, and they all showed fear on their faces.

Morale was rising and falling, and the Chu army's second round of attacks quickly sank again.

Chen Dao, who was outside the city, saw this and knew that it would be useless to continue fighting. He ignored Guo Tu's suspicion and ordered the entire army to retreat in the name of the general.

Seeing that the enemy troops were retreating, Jin Xiaosheng, who was covered in blood, shouted excitedly: "General, the enemy troops have retreated, why not take the opportunity to rush out of the city and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind."

According to the current situation, Golden Dragon could have taken advantage of the victory and pursued it.

However, Jin Long intended to let Chen Dao go and had no intention of fighting to the death, so he wanted to leave some room for Chen Dao.

Moreover, although Chen Dao withdrew his troops, his troops were in good order. He was obviously prepared for Jin Long to use his troops to cover up the enemy.

Thinking of this, Jin Long waved his hand and said: "There is no need to chase, save some strength for the showdown tonight."

Chen Dao led his remaining defeated soldiers and slowly retreated to the rear. After a day of fighting, the two sides were originally planning to capture the entire Xiangshan Mountain in one fell swoop. Therefore, Chen Dao's army did not set up a camp in Xiangshan Mountain. Faced with such a situation this time

If they failed, they could only choose to camp fifty miles back.

But when the battle between the two sides ended, it was already getting late, so they began to retreat to the rear. Within half an hour, it was completely dark.

The army is still crawling slowly in the mountain stream.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted in panic: "General, it's bad, there are countless cavalry from the north coming towards us."

"What?"

Chen Dao was shocked. He woke up from his trance and raised the sword in his hand.

But by the time they discovered the enemy, it was already too late. Arrows like locusts roared in, and those who were hit fell down one after another. The cavalry rushed out from both sides of the road, and countless slashing blades severed the throat of Sergeant Chen Dao.

.

The horses knocked down the resisters, and groups of grain guards knelt down with their weapons raised, surrounded by restless horse legs and gleaming blades.

Then, when Chen Dao saw the dust all over the sky and heard the rumble of horse hooves, his face turned pale with shock, as if he had seen the most incredible and terrifying thing in the world.

They are North Korean cavalry, and they are all Liaodong war horses!

However, if all North Korean troops are not defending on Fragrant Mountain, why do they still have cavalry to attack them?

Chen Dao was deeply shocked and had to admit that he had fallen into Jinlong's plan.

"This golden dragon is so resourceful that I fell into the trap twice. If I were defeated today, how could I still be alive?"

Horror, shame and anger filled his chest. Under the critical situation, Chen Dao had no time to think about it and had to order the frightened soldiers to quickly form a formation to fight.

It's too late.

The sneak attack by the leading general came too suddenly, and the five hundred cavalry were all heavy cavalry wearing armor. This army was like a tank corps in modern warfare, and its impact and protection were almost terrifying.

The arrows shot hastily by Chen Dao's legion lacked attack power and were few in number, and could not stop the charge of the five hundred heavy cavalry.

In an instant, the torrent of iron cavalry rushed towards them like black lightning, unstoppable.

Because we didn't expect that the enemy would miraculously appear from the north, how could we withstand the impact of the heavy cavalry.

Accompanied by the shattering sound of "click, click, click", Jin Hu and his cavalry smashed through the enemy wall like a torrent, and flowed like a flood into the middle of the army.
