Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 352 Night Battle
The first half of the night was normal, Wei Wuhou did not lead his troops to fight, just when the Taipingdao people thought that the night would pass like this, in the second half of the night, the sound of drums was heard on the city wall of Guangyang County.

The low and loud drumbeats came from the city walls on all sides. Guangyang County, which had fallen into silence, suddenly became lively and noisy.

Marquis Wei Wu had already planned to attack the city at night, and midnight was the best time. Marquis Wei Wu originally thought that he could catch the Taipingdao soldiers in Guangyang County by surprise.

In fact, in the middle of the night, the soldiers Liu Xiao arranged for the night watch had already dozed off. Marquis Mighty Wu suddenly mobilized his soldiers to attack. If Zhao Ji hadn't stayed behind in advance, he would have succeeded.

Smear came under the city wall of Guangyang County, and the four walls attacked together. The siege ladder was put on the top of the wall, and was discovered by the soldiers of the military discipline battalion. They immediately pushed the siege ladder down and gave a warning.

On the four city walls, a big drum was placed respectively. When it was struck hard, the loud sound spread throughout Guangyang County.

The mighty Marquis under the city heard the sound of the drum, his expression changed, and he whispered: "Not good!"

After his complexion changed drastically, the mighty Marquis quickly ordered that the army of the Shu Kingdom attacked the four walls of the city one after another, and climbed up the city as if desperate.

The number of Taipingdao soldiers and horses left on the city walls is not large. On one city wall, there are at most a thousand people. When the army of Shu State attacked with all its strength, the Taipingdao soldiers on the four walls were all dwarfed rise.

In the military discipline camp, Zhao Ji was in a deep sleep, when the sound of the drum sounded, he was awakened immediately, the figure lying on the bed stood up straight like a carp.

When he walked out of the house, Zhao Ji found that most of the soldiers under him were also awake, and they came out one after another, a number of officers were lining up neatly.

Forming up is the most basic training. Usually, Zhao Ji has done a lot of training for the soldiers under his opponents. At this time, the effect is manifested. When the drum beats, the speed of forming up is very fast.

In just 10 minutes, the [-] troops were lined up neatly, and a neat phalanx was placed in the barracks.

"Go, let's go."

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Ji said loudly.

"Yes!"

A voice like rolling thunder sounded in the camp, and a group of soldiers responded in unison. Although they only uttered one word, the momentum of all the voices merged together and resounded through the sky.

Leading the team towards a city wall, during the process, Zhao Ji ordered a soldier to send news to Liu Xiao as soon as possible so that he could take charge of the situation.

In the middle of the night, the army of the Shu Kingdom came attacking wildly, and the sneak attack was so fast, it was really lightning fast. If you don't react quickly and lay down the defense line, Guangyang County may really be captured.

Therefore, at this time, a clear division of labor was needed. Zhao Ji ran towards a city wall and told Liu Xiao in advance, lest he transfer too many soldiers and horses, causing the other city walls to be empty.

After a quick march, he soon came to the east wall. Standing below, when Zhao Ji looked up at the top of the city, he found that a fierce battle was taking place above, and the battle was fierce.

"Quick, go up and support."

Seeing that the situation above was not very good, Zhao Ji quickly waved his hand, leading tens of thousands of soldiers, and rushed to the city wall.

The wide city wall is about a foot wide, and it is loose enough for a person to stand on it, but it will not be so spacious if there is a battle.

When Zhao Ji came up, he saw a series of siege ladders on the top of the city, and many soldiers and horses of the Shu Kingdom had already climbed up from the siege ladders.

The soldiers of the Taiping Road and the soldiers of the Shu State who attacked the wall fought each other. The blooming of knives and blood was so bloody, but it also had a strange beauty.

On the top of the city, the Taipingdao side is already at a disadvantage. If it continues, Guangyang County City may really be breached.

Seeing this situation, Zhao was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, go up and help."

Zhao Ji went up first, the sword light in his hand flashed, he chopped off the head of a Shu soldier with his sword, and kicked the siege ladder flying away from the top of the city, only to hear a series of sounds coming from below. screams.

"Boom!"

At this time, there was a thunderous sound from the bottom of the city, a huge boulder was thrown from the bottom of the city and fell towards the top of the city, and it hit Zhao Ji directly.

The huge boulder hit, the momentum was astonishing, there was an earth-shattering momentum, a strong gust of wind rushed towards his face, Zhao Ji was startled, he quickly turned around and avoided it.

With a swaying turn, like a spinning top, he moved sideways for a few feet, and the boulder rushed over with a huge force.

[-] elite soldiers are distributed on a city wall. The number is still a bit small, but compared to before, it is much better.

With the addition of this fresh force, the Taipingdao side, which was completely at a disadvantage, turned around in an instant, and pushed down the city wall one by one.

The soldiers from the Military Disciplinary Battalion arrived very quickly, somewhat beyond the expectations of the Shu army, and they took back the position and moved back to the situation in an instant.

However, when the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom got used to it, they attacked fiercely with extremely powerful attacks, and the Taipingdao side was still at a slight disadvantage.

Many people at this time suffer from night blindness, and their vision is very blurred in the dark. However, the army of the Kingdom of Shu is all elite soldiers, so there is no such problem.

However, the Taipingdao side is different. Many soldiers are selected from among the refugees, and their physical fitness is not very good. At least, their foundation is not so good, and many of them have night blindness.

Therefore, at this time, when the Shu army attacked fiercely, even Zhao Ji's military discipline battalion would have difficulty resisting it.

Fortunately, the soldiers finally activated their catapults and crossbows, and threw them down from the top of the city. The dense crossbow arrows and huge stones fell down on the city like rain.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The sharp whistling sound and the roaring sound of the boulder flying into the air rang together, and as soon as it fell under the city of Guangyang County, there were screams and screams in an instant.

As soon as the siege and defense equipment clashed, the intensity of the battle rose two levels in an instant, and the battle became more bloody.

In this dark night, boulders were thrown up or down, causing death and blood on the top and bottom of the city.

When the sound of killing was loud on this city wall, there were also loud shouts of killing from the other walls. Under the light of the fire, the sky brightened and became a fiery red.
