The sudden siege of the city made the soldiers who had been heavily guarded on the city walls immediately nervous, and the chief soldier commanded the archers to shoot arrows at the besieging enemy troops on the city walls.

As soon as Duan Jun fell asleep, a guard came to report that the enemy army had begun to attack the city.

He didn't expect Duan Yi's army to attack the city so quickly, he got up immediately, and some generals such as General Duan Lao were already waiting outside the door.

Hua Yun also got up, knowing that the enemy army outside the city began to attack the city, but she didn't expect the enemy army to choose to attack the city in the middle of the night, in case the city was broken, the southern Xinjiang city would fall.

Duan Jun gave an order to mobilize a large number of archers overnight to shoot arrows outside the city on the city wall to prevent the enemy from attacking the city. ** The army also followed up, and it was bound to keep the city gate unbroken.

In addition, a large army was mobilized at the gate of the city to prepare, and in case the city was breached, a great battle would be fought against the enemy.

Duan Rui said: "Lord, princess Niangniang, let me lead the troops to guard the city gate, if the city gate is breached, I will lead the soldiers to kill, I haven't killed the enemy for a long time." ”

Duan Jun knew that Duan Rui was reckless, but he was indeed a fierce general.

Duan Rui was assigned to lead 5,000 vanguard troops to stand by at the gates of the city, and once the gates were broken, the enemy troops would be driven out of the city.

After Duanrui received the order, he went down to lead the troops to prepare.

Under the city, a large number of enemy troops gathered, and the city gate was smashed round by round, and it could be broken at any time.

In addition, enemy archers were constantly shooting arrows at the soldiers in the city, and both sides were killed and wounded. The enemy army was outside the city, and the disadvantage was more serious, and the casualties were relatively large. In just one hour, two or three thousand people were killed and wounded.

The guards on the city also suffered nearly 100 casualties, and after the ** army joined, they fired ** shells at the enemy outside the city on the city tower, and this time the enemy suffered greater casualties.

Although the enemy suffered more than 5,000 casualties, the troops that attacked the city gate continued to crash one after another.

Suddenly, the Persian general of the enemy army thought of smashing the city gate with **. In addition, it is combined with the burning of the city gate with tung oil.

The whole battle lasted until the next morning, and the enemy army did not have the advantage, and suffered heavy casualties, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses killed and wounded in one night.

The defenders also suffered a few hundred casualties, but for the tens of thousands of casualties of the enemy, this was nothing.

However, once it is breached, the casualties of the defenders will skyrocket, and the most important thing now is to hold the gates without breaking the city.

In the morning, the enemy army began to burn the city gates, and the besieging army retreated, not fighting hard. Hitting them hard does not take advantage, and there are heavy casualties, and the strategy must be changed.

Although the gate was heavy, it could not withstand the fire, and a fire began to burn under the gate, and the enemy's vanguard continued to retreat. The defenders poured water from the towers to the gates, hoping to extinguish the fire.

Guarding the city gate in the city, the five thousand elite soldiers led by Duanrui were very nervous, the city gate was on fire, and it could not withstand the fire, and it would be burned down in two days at most. In this way, the enemy army will rush into the city, and these elite soldiers will be ready for battle. The vanguard is a few hundred archers, and once the enemy enters the city, the archers deal with them first. Behind are the elite troops in the city, and the enemy army is caught off guard!

The fire was extinguished several times by the defenders, and then ignited by the enemy's vanguard death squads, and after three days of stalemate, the gates of Nanjiang City were almost burned to empty shelves.

A large number of enemy troops began to storm the city gates, which were burned to thousands of holes, and collapsed under the impact of the enemy's huge wooden pillars.

A large number of enemy troops poured into the city gate, and the Duanrui troops waiting in the city began to fire arrows at the enemy troops who rushed in, and then a large number of vanguard elite soldiers fought with the enemy's vanguard troops.

The gates of the city became a battlefield, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Duanrui rode a horse, holding a long-handled broadsword in his hand, and began to fight with the enemy generals, but several minor generals of the enemy army could not resist Duanrui's attack and were soon hacked to death under the horse.

Soon, the defenders gained the upper hand and drove out the incoming enemy troops.

Duanrui's bravery forced the enemy army back, and the enemy army withdrew three miles outside the city gate to plan the project.

The defenders of the city finally held on, and in this battle, the enemy's vanguard lost 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the defenders of Duanrui lost 1,000 soldiers and horses.

A large number of dead bodies were pushed at the city gates, and the battle was extremely miserable.

The city was already in chaos, and Duan Jun asked several lieutenants to calm the people in the city. Organize as soon as possible to replenish the losses of the army with new recruits.

General Duan Lao arranged for the craftsmen to hurry up and make a more reliable city gate in case the enemy army attacked again.

The city gate was forced, the enemy army would not miss such a good opportunity, the enemy army who retreated in the afternoon launched a strong attack in the middle of the night, this time the army in the city was vigilant, otherwise the enemy army would have entered the southern Xinjiang city.

The battle lasted from midnight to the next morning, and this time both sides paid a terrible price.

The enemy suffered 10,000 casualties, and the defenders suffered 4,000 casualties.

In just over two days, the enemy has suffered 20,000 casualties, and there are still 80,000 troops left. The casualties of the defenders have exceeded 5,000, and the army, which was originally only 20,000, is now only 15,000.

In the past few days, 10,000 recruits have been gathered in the city, but the recruits have almost no combat ability, and they must be trained intensively.

Two days later, the craftsmen made two stronger gates and hurriedly began to settle them at the gates.

It will take a day for the city gate to be settled, and it will be necessary to resist the enemy's attack on this day, and not allow the enemy army to enter the city.

The defenders have mobilized 10,000 horses inside and outside the city gates to protect the artisans and place the city gates.

Only half a day later, suddenly there were 50,000 enemy troops attacking the city, and General Duanrui personally went out of the city to meet the battle.

The two armies fought together again, and more than 10,000 soldiers led by Duanrui were all wiped out by the enemy after holding out for half a day. The price paid by the enemy was 20,000 casualties.

At this time, the city gate had been placed, and Duan Rui led the remaining hundreds of soldiers back into the city, and the city gate was immediately closed. The 30,000 enemy troops who were chasing after him were blocked outside the city, and only then did he temporarily keep the southern Xinjiang city.

After a few days of fighting, the enemy suffered 40,000 casualties, and there were still 60,000 troops left.

In the southern Xinjiang city, there were 15,000 casualties, and less than 5,000 troops were left capable of fighting.

In addition, the 20,000 recruits recruited are not capable of combat, and some of these recruits are men and women, and if they start a war, they will not be able to resist at all, so they must step up their training.

Several adjutant generals with hundreds of experienced soldiers began to train recruits in batches in the city to make them combat-ready as soon as possible.

With so many troops dead, the people in the city are already panicking.

Duan Jun, Hua Yun, and General Duan and some generals were all a little depressed.

Unexpectedly, the battle in a few days, the battle situation was extremely miserable, there were still 60,000 enemy troops outside, and if the enemy army came to reinforce again, once the city was broken, the southern Xinjiang city would definitely not be able to be saved.

Hua Yun was also very worried in her heart, it was only a week before the enemy army besieged the city, and the southern Xinjiang city was about to be unable to be saved. If the army of the Great Wei State did not come to the rescue within the next week, the southern Xinjiang city would inevitably be destroyed.
