The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#78. Frontiers. III

The delay in the attack carried out by Emperor Yong Zheng was reasonable.. Seventy thousand troops may be said to have died in vain, while on the side of the Ming Empire only a few people died.. this made Emperor Yong Zheng and General Tian Li have to rack their brains to find a way to be able to penetrate the opponent's defense.

On the side of General Chou, his soldiers were relieved to see the Qing Empire's troops stop the attack. But the attack was a scary thing for General Chou.. the two traps he had previously prepared would definitely not be too effective to reuse as General Tian would definitely find a way to break through them.

The twilight just passed without any incident.each side remained restrained while General Chou was still with a feeling of anxiety.

"General Li.. you must find a way so that we can enter the defense of the opponent.. !!" emperor Yong zheng.

General Tian Li was only speechless at Emperor Ying Zheng's orders.His hands were twitching - minutes his forehead was trying to find a solution to attack again..

That night the moon refused to reveal itself.The sky was covered with very thick clouds.Rumblings sounded very loud and repeated.

"Your Majesty, it seems like the sky is on our side" said General Tian Li, arriving upon hearing the sound of rain beginning to fall.

"What do you mean General..? "Emperor Yong Zheng has not been able to capture the intent of General Tian Li.

"We will shift our artillery tonight.This very heavy rain will cover their view.not to mention.. "

Emperor Yong Zheng began to look enthusiastic, he seemed to be waiting for a further explanation from his General.

"We will shift the thrower to the side of the fortress with the position already pointed at them. We will easily see their position because their fortress still has some torch light that is protected from rain.."

Emperor Yong Zheng nodded his head.he began to grasp the intent of General Tian Li..

"Are you sure we're going to attack the general tonight..? " ask the Emperor..

"Of course, your majesty, even though they put out all the torches in the fortress.we can still guess their position.is going if our troops and our artillery to split each other.. of course they cannot determine our position ", replied General Tian Li with great confidence.

"Well then, General, do your plan and do everything quietly.. "

"Okay Your Majesty" said General Tian Li then called some bodyguards and gave instructions to them.

The bodyguards then immediately moved towards the position of the soldier controlling the artillery and relayed instructions from General Tian Li.

The soldiers immediately moved their equipment.night blind with the rain fell very heavy.The soldiers of the Qing Empire swiftly carried out General Tian Li's orders.

After everything was finished, the representative of them then immediately met General Tian Li.

"Everyone is in the position of the General. according to the instructions given by the General." said the soldier, kneeling in salute.

"Then return to your position.and wait for the next order.and tell the commander of the infantry soldiers to come to see me immediately." said General Tian Li..

The soldier immediately went and carried out the order he had just received..

Shortly thereafter, the commander of the infantry came to meet General Tian Li.. General Tian Li then gave instructions to him to move the troops to approach the opposing defense fortress with a split position and make the automation of the shield as their roof.

"Remember Captain.. Your position must be very close to the fort, and if you can stick to the dding try to stay attached it will make it difficult for archers and so that the arrows from the mechanical bow can not reach you " general Tian Li said and ordered the commander to carry out his orders immediately..

"Right now we can only wait for the noble one" replied General Tian Li.

Almost an hour passed and the commander of the infantry came to meet General Tian Li.

"General.. The soldier is already in position ", said the commander.

"Both Captain, return to your position and wait for the next order" said General Tian Li.

The commander of the infantry force immediately left General Tian Li and Emperor Yong Zheng.

"Your Majesty.the servant himself will lead them directly." said General Tian Li steadily and confidently..

"Can't be so General. I don't want anything to happen with you. You can advance to the battlefield if it's a direct order from me" Emperor Yong Zheng said.. General Tian Li just lowered his head, not daring to argue with Emperor Yong Zheng who said the thing just now with a tone like he did not want an answer.

"How are things out there, Ken..? "asked General Chou to Ken who kept watch outside the fort.

"Dark General.I can't see anything.I just feel the movement but I... "Ken has not finished the word - he said. when the trumpet sign of the attack sounded from the Qing Emperor..

Large iron balls hit the walls - the walls of the fort produced a very intense vibration. When the Ming Empire's warriors were shocked by the attack that came once it arrived - it arrived. The rain of arrows from the mechanical arrow bows had already caught up..

"Everyone is docked to the wall. " cried General Chou to all his soldiers..

The arrow that fell with the heavy rain that night took many victims..

Soldiers - soldiers who are on standby in the fort difficult to avoid the arrows that come..

"Form a protection formation." shouted General Chou back..

His soldiers then used a shield as a protective roof.but some iron balls were also directed into the fortress..

The consecutive attacks using hurling at the same point caused the walls of the fort to crack, while the iron balls directed into the fort damaged everything that was passed through it..

It was a pitch-black night, only groans of pain could be heard, and on the side of the fortress, which was not approached by the infantry, the Qing army was constantly being struck by iron balls..

The wall that originally looked solid finally gradually shattered and flattened with the ground.. The walls of the fortress on that side collapsed and left a gap of approximately twenty meters..

Infantry troops who had been waiting for the collapse of the wall ran into the fortress using the gap..

close combat can no longer be avoided.although the rain of arrows has stopped.but the incoming soldiers also seemed to be relentless...

As the sun was almost approaching, the sturdy fortress had already left two huge gaps that were utilized by the nearly one hundred thousand infantry troops of the Qing Empire who were advancing valiantly.

A great battle took place inside the fortress... Ken, General Chou and thousands of other warriors from the alliance fought alongside over a hundred thousand Ming imperial warriors.
