"Dang, dang, dang," the sound of gongs echoed all over the city wall.
The soldiers of the Western Qin Army on duty on the city wall got up one after another, picked up their weapons, and entered the fighting position.
As soon as Ziad saw this formation, he knew that the sneak attack was half a failure.
Now he was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off.
If he retreated, he would fall short.
He couldn't afford to lose this person.
Now he could only bite the bullet and attack.
He immediately ordered: "Send the order and attack Xi Qin."
We must capture the city wall before all the army's defense forces are in place.
As long as we capture the city wall, we will win.
Everyone will fight with me."
“Allah bless you” "Allah bless you, kill me!"
Master Jin's soldiers roared and ran towards the city wall quickly.
The guard general of Zahedan was called Wang Yaoguang.
Neither he nor his generals expected that the Dashi Army would suddenly appear under the city of Zahedan and conduct a sneak attack.
Although he deployed warnings and guards on the city wall, there were not many troops, and in recent days, The weather was calm, and the soldiers guarding the city wall became slack, and the cannibals took advantage of them.
There were only 500 people guarding the west city wall.
After the warning gong sounded, everyone woke up and immediately picked up their weapons to defend.
However, at this time, some of the food soldiers had already jumped on the city wall, and the two sides immediately started fighting.
The originally quiet city wall was suddenly filled with deafening shouts of killing.
There is a pot of burning firewood at regular intervals on the city wall for lighting, which can make the light on the city wall as bright as day.
However, after discovering the enemy's situation, the Western Qin general He Juan who was on duty on the city wall immediately ordered all these fire pots to be kicked Turning over, the entire city wall was plunged into darkness.
This caused a lot of trouble for the sneak attack of the Dashi Army.
They had to confirm whether they were friends or foes before killing the people on the opposite side.
The continuous sound of gongs and alarms on the city wall and a large number of fighting cries quickly alarmed the soldiers and civilians in the city.
In less than a minute, the entire Zaheidan City was boiling.
Every household lit up oil lamps.
Wang Guangyao in the city lord's palace received the report.
Put your armor on and take it with you immediately More than a hundred soldiers rushed to the military camp in the city.
When they arrived at the military camp, more than a thousand soldiers in the military camp had been assembled.
He immediately led the more than a thousand soldiers to the west wall for reinforcements, and the defenders of the other four walls They did not dare to move without orders and could only strictly stick to their posts.
"General, the cannibals suddenly attacked with ferocious force and large numbers of troops.
The brothers woke up from their sleep and were not well prepared and rushed into the battle, resulting in heavy casualties.
The cannibals are now everywhere on the city wall.
The brothers are too scattered and can hardly withstand it.
"It's over!"
A captain, covered in blood, reported loudly to the general on duty, He Juan.
He Chuan chopped down a large food army that rushed forward and ordered loudly: "Give me the order to abandon part of the city wall, reduce the strength of the troops, and let the brothers all fight and retreat towards the direction of the city gate tower."
"yes" He Juan issued this order quite timely and correctly at this time.
In the situation where heavy losses have already been suffered, the troops are too scattered and easily broken by the food army, and the casualty rate will increase.
Before the reinforcements arrive, it is necessary to shrink the troops and concentrate their efforts.
Defending the city gate tower can block this section of the city wall.
The Big Eater army rushed into the city.
After all, the city wall was more than two feet high, which was six or seven meters high.
No one dared to jump from this height in the dark night.

In He Juan's opinion, the Big Eater wanted to kill To enter the city, you can only go down the stone stairs of the city gate tower, and guarding the city gate tower can prevent the food army from entering the city.
The Western Qin army guarding the city is a volunteer army, and its combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that of the standing army.
There has been basically no war in Western Qin these years, and they have no chance to engage in actual combat.
They were suddenly attacked by the food army, and they were unable to respond in time, panicked, and lost 100% of their combat strength.
We can only play 50%, and these phenomena are unavoidable.
Although the combat effectiveness of these volunteer soldiers is not as good as that of the standing army, their execution of orders is no less effective than that of the standing army.
They have the same order system as the standing army.
After He Juan's order was issued, the remaining soldiers of the Western Qin Army on the wall Fight and retreat, all the way towards the city gate tower, and the attack of the food army has also increased.
In any case, the denser the troops on the city wall, the harder it is to attack.
"What's going on?
Why aren't we moving forward?"
Ziad, holding a blood-stained scimitar, shouted loudly as he pushed aside the soldiers blocking the front.
A Centurion of the Great Food Army who was separated replied: "General, all the Western Qin Army is concentrated near the city gate tower.
The troops are too dense.
The city wall is so wide.
Our military advantage cannot be used.
If we It will take a long time to capture the city gate tower, and then reinforcements from the city will have enough time to arrive."
Ziad frowned: "According to the information obtained by the rangers, there are a total of three thousand defenders in this city.
If it turns into a tug-of-war, our casualties will be greatly increased."
After saying that, Ziad looked around, and the ladder under the city wall came into his sight.
He had a flash of inspiration and said immediately: "Quickly pull up the siege ladder and set it up under the other side of the city, and send some soldiers to slide down the ladder.
Attack them from behind" "Yes, General" He Juan miscalculated.
He underestimated the IQ of the Great Cannibal.
As long as he climbed the city wall, there was definitely more than one way to enter the city.
He Juan led hundreds of Western Qin soldiers to guard the city gate tower, but along with The siege ladder slipped and the soldiers of the Great Food Army in the city climbed up from the side stairs and attacked their backs.
"General, the cannibals are coming from behind us.
They have entered the city and the city wall cannot be defended," a captain said anxiously.
He Run turned his head and saw a large number of food soldiers climbing up from the stairs.
His soldiers had to separate part of their troops to resist the food soldiers coming from behind.
However, at this time, the surrounded Western Qin army was already panic-stricken. .
He Lun, who was covered in blood, had a pale face.
He said to the soldiers around him: "Brothers, we were careless tonight and were taken advantage of by the cannibals.
This is our fault.
We have already made a mistake.
We cannot make the same mistake again."
Wrong, now we can only defend the city tower, hold off the food army, and buy time for General Wang Guangyao in the city, even if we all die in battle."
"Death, everyone is afraid of it.
Who wants to die if they can live?
But the death penalty is inevitable.
Instead of being judged by the military judge, being cast aside by the world, and bringing shame to the ancestors and future generations, it is better to die here in battle.
Even if We made mistakes, but at least we let the world know that we are not cowards.”
He Juan's words touched the hearts of the soldiers and their spirit of ferocity and bravery.
A captain raised his sword and shouted: "The general is right.
Because of our carelessness, the cannibals took advantage of the loophole and lost the city wall.
We must decide."

You can’t retreat or escape, you have to die here if you want to.
Killing one will be enough, killing two will make a profit, brothers, right?”
"Yes, fight to the end, fight to the end, kill, kill, kill."
More than 300 remaining soldiers of the Western Qin Army roared and raised their weapons to chop down the large food soldiers on the opposite side.
Wang Guangyao, who was leading his troops, met the soldier who reported the news halfway, "General, it was the Dashi Army who attacked the city wall.
They have captured the west wall.
General He Juan is guarding the gate tower with his remaining brothers.
However, a small portion of the food army had already entered the city, and General He Lun asked The villain told the general that the Dashi Army had too many troops, and the city walls and towers could no longer be defended.
He said that if the general did not intend to lead his troops to withdraw, he would have to organize all the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight with the Dashi Army in street fighting in the city, using The houses and all the buildings in the city prevent the food army from conquering the whole city."
Wang Guangyao began to think deeply after hearing the words of the soldier who reported the news.
He knew very well what the consequences of losing the city would be.
The superiors did not care about your reasons or background, because there was a clear provision that any guard who lost the city and land would be deprived of it.
All titles, official positions, and honors are sentenced to death, and even family members will be implicated, except those who died in battle.
Therefore, in this situation, dying in battle is the best option.
Thinking of this, Wang Guangyao understood what he should do.
He immediately ordered a subordinate beside him: "You immediately dispatch two teams of elite cavalry, one team is sent to Jiling City, and the other team is sent to Shulgaz City.
Report, report the situation here to General Huokan and the king respectively, saying that my king Guangyao failed to defend the city and allowed the cannibal to sneak into the city.
I deserve to die the most, but I will lead the entire city's soldiers and civilians to fight to the death against the cannibal. in the end" "Yes" the general agreed, and immediately selected two teams of cavalry from behind, and sent them out respectively.
One team left the city from the north gate, and the other team left the city from the south gate.
As for whether they could break through the barrier outside the city.
With the food army's blockade, we can probably only pray to God for blessing.
Wang Guangyao ordered another general: "Quickly take some people to the streets and alleys to beat gongs and drums to tell all the people in the city that the cannibals have attacked Zaheidan City.
Now the city wall can no longer be defended.
Once the cannibal is When people enter the city, with their ferocity, they will definitely massacre the city.
Everyone and livestock in the city will not be spared.
If we want to survive, everyone in the city must take up weapons and fight to the death with the cannibal.
The possibility of survival conveys my promise.
As long as I can repel the big eater, I will be rewarded afterwards.
Killing a big eater will reward you with two silver coins, killing a ten-captain will reward you with 20 silver coins, and so on.
If the people are willing to join us in killing the cannibal, let them hide in their houses and attack secretly without coming out.
We will send people to their homes to instruct them how to kill the cannibal.
They only need to obey the order."
"Yes, General, I'll go right away."
Wang Guangyao then ordered the remaining general: "You are responsible for assigning soldiers to the people and commanding them to kill the cannibals.
Send one soldier to each household, one commander to each fifth household, and twenty Each household will send a team officer, and a hundred households will send a captain, and we will fight against the cannibals in this city to the end."
"Yes, General":
