    Wang Mian, who was mainly attacking the South City Gate, led 10,000 soldiers. Each of them was dressed like an Australian aborigine, with weeds planted all over his body but the gaps were covered with weeds, trying to disguise himself without being discovered.  ~Although it was night and there was no moonlight, the stars were bright and there was still some visibility.  Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses crawled on the cold ground at night, like little turtles leaving their nests and running towards the sea. They moved slowly on the ground. The distance of seven to eight hundred steps could be reached in a cup of tea, but for  The climb with concealed whereabouts took nearly half an hour.  Until they were three hundred steps away from the city wall and were about to enter the range of the lights on the city head, when they could no longer hide, Wang Mian suddenly ordered a charge.  In an instant, figures all over the ground stood up, shouting and running desperately towards the bottom of the city wall.  Naturally, Wan Rui would not exhaust the Nancheng defenders. There were still more than 4,000 soldiers guarding the city wall. When the officers and soldiers appeared, the defenders bent their bows and set arrows to fire at the siege troops who entered the range without waiting for the officers' orders.  Arrow, there were more than ten artillery pieces on the city head and they immediately opened fire in a hurry.  In the blink of an eye, the originally quiet area of ??Nancheng immediately became the main battlefield.  The stealth distance of seven to eight hundred steps saved Wang Mian's troops from at least a dozen rounds of artillery fire. The siege troops who started charging three hundred steps away only took twenty or thirty breaths to rush into the blind spot of the artillery fire;  These big guys are set up on the top of the city, but the angle of attack is difficult to solve. When they enter the moat within 70 or 80 steps, they will be unable to exert their power.  They only had time to fire three rounds of artillery fire, and they could only watch helplessly as the siege troops gathered in a dark mass on the other side of the moat.  At this time, archers are much more useful than cannons. There is no need to aim. All you need to do is bend your bow and set an arrow to shoot at the densely populated areas. If you miss Zhang San, Li Sifeng will always hit the target.  Rounds of feathered arrows poured down like heavy rain on the siege troops and horses crowded on the other side of the moat. The moat with a width of more than ten feet was not easy to cross, but before the attack, Wang Shouren, Wang Mian and others made a plan  , it¡¯s actually very simple. Order hundreds of soldiers with excellent water skills to swim across it with ropes, and pull more than a hundred ropes on both sides of the moat. This way, no matter whether you can swim or not, you can always pull these thick ropes to cross.  Go to the moat.  The only problem is that during the swim, they had to suffer the baptism of dense arrows from above. Even if they put a wooden shield on their head to form a turtle shell-like top, there was no guarantee that they would not be injured or killed.  From time to time, shields were broken into wood chips by the powerful arrows from above, and the hollow areas were instantly shot with feather arrows, turning the soldiers waiting on the uncovered shore into hedgehogs.  That's all. The most casualties were the swimming soldiers. They had to break away from the cover of the wooden shields and grab the ropes to swim to the other side. Once they reached the other side and hit the city wall, it was another blind spot for bows and arrows, but this  The road to safety is a road to death.  Countless soldiers were killed by bows and arrows while swimming. The churning blood was clearly visible under the light of torches and wind lanterns above the city wall. Many corpses were floating next to the swimming soldiers. Occasionally, the dead and the living would come together.  It is not uncommon to see people bumping heads or giving each other a weird look between life and death.  Wang Mian was very worried. A rough estimate showed that within a quarter of an hour, the soldiers around him had suffered casualties of over a thousand, and 10% of the 10,000 troops had been lost.  But fortunately, the situation gradually improved. The more than 3,000 soldiers and horses who had swam across had begun to move the ladder up to the top of the city. The defenders on the city wall had to dedicate part of themselves to deal with the officers and soldiers climbing up. In this way,  The density of bows and arrows that blocked the crossing of the moat was greatly reduced, and the troops and horses from the rear quickly exerted their force, and reinforcements came from a steady stream under the city wall.  Wan Rui originally wanted to order the soldiers and horses from the east and west walls to be mobilized to the south wall for reinforcements, but the shouts in the darkness in the east and west did not stop. Although he knew that the opponent was only feigning an attack to contain them, he knew that the feint would not turn into a real attack.  So Wan Rui had to leave two thousand men each to guard the east and west walls, while the remaining nearly five thousand men quickly ran from the wall to reinforce the south wall.  When the reinforcements arrived at the top of the south city wall, Wang Mian's more than 8,000 soldiers and horses had already crossed the moat and were struggling to attack the city. The more than 9,000 defenders on the top of the city immediately launched a blockade, packing sand, stones and wood.  The boiling oil rained down, and the attacking soldiers and horses under the city suffered heavy losses. The screams resounded through the night sky. Almost every moment, dozens of soldiers fell into a pool of blood.  If the walls of Nanchang City were not erected at right angles and slightly tilted outward to make it more difficult to climb, instead of being narrow at the top and wide at the bottom of other ordinary cities, the casualties of the soldiers and horses below would have been even more serious.  Even so, the city wall cannot be attacked. There are more defenders at the top of the city than the attacking soldiers and horses below the city. It is also an absolutely advantageous location from a high place. The soldiers and horses below are completely in danger of being beaten. Hundreds of ladders can be used to climb up.  , before the person could climb a few steps, he was knocked to the ground from above, followed by a pile of stones and rolling logs.  Wang Mian huddled in a blind corner, frowning and thinking about a good strategy, when he suddenly saw dozens of soldiers running toward the moat, shouting.When he came back, Wang Mian shouted loudly: "Wu Wending, what are you doing?" The general named Wu Wending was a member of Wang Mian's Qianhu. Hearing this, he turned around and shouted: "Master Wang, withdraw, or stay any longer."  It's a death, this city can't be captured at all, don't lose the lives of your brothers." Wang Mian said angrily: "You dare to escape from the battle?" Wu Wending said with a sad face: "My lord, I was afraid of death in my humble position, this is completely useless.  If you can't attack at all, why wait here to die?" Wang Mian drew his long sword from his waist and said, "Wu Wending, if you dare to escape before the battle, don't blame me for the military law in front of the battle." Wu Wending did not answer and waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers,  Withdraw, this battle is impossible, if we continue to fight, everyone will die here, all retreat with me." Wang Mian's eyes were split, and he roared: "Wu Wending, you are seeking death." After that, he stepped forward and waved.  When the sword slashed, Wu Wending didn't expect Wang Mian to actually take action. He was stunned for a moment, then felt a chill on his neck, followed by a stream of hot blood spurting out from his neck, and he fell to the sky.  The soldiers were shocked. Wu Wending was Wang Mian's favorite general, and he had a good relationship with Wang Mian's brothers. They didn't expect that Wang Mian actually killed him in front of the battle. For a while, he stood there blankly, forgetting to hide from his head.  Huge boulders falling from time to time.  Wang Mian shouted: "What are you doing standing there, why don't you attack the city cleanly? Did you see that? Master Wang Shouren has led 10,000 troops to follow up, and the wooden supplies at the top of the city are about to run out. While they are running out of supplies,  It's time, brothers, go up and kill!" The soldiers came to their senses and saw the sound of killing from behind. It was the commander Wang Shouren who rushed over with his last 10,000 soldiers and horses. The artillery on the city head had a place to use and fired.  There was a roaring sound; and the stones and trees falling from the sky were also sparse. It was obvious that the supplies stored at the top of the city had been almost consumed.  My group of people just used their heads and bodies to consume the materials in the city so much that they couldn't keep up, which shows how big the sacrifice was.  ??Everyone understands that if we don¡¯t attack now, when will we wait?  So he mustered up his courage, climbed up the ladder and attacked fiercely, and fought as a group above and below the city. When Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses also rushed to the bottom of the city, more than 300 new ladders were added, and more than 300 more climbing points were added.  , suddenly became more chaotic.  A ladder here had just been overturned and fell, and the soldiers on it fell into pieces. On the other side, another ladder was put up on the top of the city. The siege soldiers rushed up desperately with hoarse throats, but not long after, they were again  The ladder was flipped over, and the soldier on top suffered broken bones.  This stalemate lasted for half an hour. Occasionally, soldiers and horses broke through the city and attacked, but they were immediately wiped out.  Most of the time, the siegeers were climbing the ladders, and the defenders were lifting the ladders. The soldiers on both sides were exhausted, the ones on top were exhausted, and the ones on the bottom were smashed to pieces.  So later, many siege soldiers had some cleverness on the battlefield. They dragged corpses and used them as meat mats. When the ladder was overturned and they fell on the corpses, they were dizzy but intact.  It's a move that makes you wiser out of desperation.  The funny scene mentioned above appeared. A group of siege soldiers were forced to the blind corner of the city gate by the rain of arrows from above. The city gate was the most tightly defended. There were soldiers equipped with firearms and powerful arrows and crossbows. No one could  Understand that the most important thing to defend a city is the city gate, so many generals do not consider attacking the city gate when they attack the city.  Before attacking the city, Wang Shouren learned that the defenders had a large number of firearms, so he judged that these soldiers equipped with firearms must be arranged on the city gate tower, so he did not attack the city tower. Anyway, even if he did not attack the city tower, these firecrackers  The soldiers did not dare not to guard the city gate.  And the astonishing scene was when one of the soldiers who were forced into a corner accidentally reached out and pushed the heavy city gate. With this gentle push, the city gate slowly slid out with a gap as big as a thumb.  , the soldier himself was startled, and hurriedly told the flag officer next to him about this discovery.  The flag officer was hit by an arrow in the thigh and was in pain. He slapped his hand and cursed: "Stop your mother's turtle fart, and dream of your mother's spring and autumn dream. This city gate must have three floors inside and three floors outside."  The iron bolts are tight, and there are iron horses blocking the rear. Are you crazy?" But the other soldiers were cautious and sneaked up to the door and pushed it. There was a continuous rattling sound, and the city gate slowed down.  They were pushed in. The city gate was dark, but there was nothing blocking it, such as horses. It turned out to be an unimpeded passage into the city.  Several soldiers looked at each other in astonishment, not believing this fact in their hearts. It was like picking up a golden doll while walking and pooping out the golden lumps. After a long time of commotion, the gate of Nanchang City was not closed at all.  Thinking about how busy Mr. Wang was with his soldiers and horses attacking the city wall outside, thousands of people died, but he didn't know that the gate of Nanchang City was open at all. He only needed to attack with his troops to defeat it. If he knew,  I'm afraid a mouthful of old blood spurted out several feet, and the deaths of thousands of brothers were too unjust. This incident really makes people laugh and cry.
