War is a fight between people, no matter how advanced the weapon, no matter how extraordinary the tactics, the ultimate goal is to destroy the enemy to the greatest extent, therefore, in a war, the soldier unconditionally believes in and obeys the officer, the officer unconditionally obeys the general, from top to bottom, this war has a chance of victory.

The soldiers of the defenders of Xizhou City still believe in Li Su very much.

Since Li Subing besieged the Shifu and had a long talk with Cao Yu, he unceremoniously seized his power, and Li Su immediately made drastic repairs to the city wall, summoned government soldiers, trained the villagers, and reorganized the army for war.

Before most of the enemy army attacked the city, Xizhou City had two Zhichong Mansions, a cavalry battalion, and a Xiangyong Battalion, totaling more than 5,000 people, practicing day and night.

Defend a city, never allow any faction in the army, take a step back and say, never allow any faction in wartime, this is the most basic condition for holding the city, fortunately Li Su rushed to solve all the internal problems hidden in Xizhou City before the enemy attacked the city, so that there is now a united city, work together to resist the enemy, or if Xizhou City did not meet this condition before the foreign enemy attacked, Li Su would never turn around and return to the city after stepping out of Xizhou the day before yesterday.

After the purging with his own hands, Xizhou gradually radiated vitality and hope that had not been seen for many years, the smiles on the faces of the old people and children in the city were more, the shouting and shouting of small merchants and vendors became louder, and the caravans entered and exited the city gate more and more frequently, and even the sergeants patrolling the city would nod and greet the people with a gentle smile......

This is the achievement of Li Su, who planted a batch of seeds with his own hands during the coldest season in Xizhou, and as time passed, the seeds took root and sprouted. Drilled out of the soil, with tender green vitality to take away the bitter cold, such a city full of hope, how can it be willing to leave?

…………

In the middle of the formation, the big drum made a loud thunderous sound, and every rhythm accompanied the sergeant's every step.

on the city walls. The defending sergeant clenched the spear and halberd in his hand and watched nervously at the Western Regions coalition army advancing step by step in front of him.

Two hundred steps.

Jiang Quan drew the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Bow and arrow, step forward!" ”

One hundred and fifty steps.

The rhythm of the war drums in the enemy's formation increased in vain, and with it, the pace of the siege sergeants also increased.

One hundred steps.

Rumble! The enemy army showed their shields in front of them and approached step by step.

Fifty steps.

The long sword in Jiang Quan's hand pointed down sharply: "Release the arrow—"

…………

The rain of arrows poured down from the sky, and the enemy's shields were raised one after another, and there was a clanging sound, and most of the arrows were blocked by the shields, except for a few scattered arrows that luckily passed through the gaps in the shields. Shoot into the body of the enemy in the back row.

At thirty paces, the sound of the army's drums in the enemy army suddenly stopped, and the sound of long whimpering horns echoed in mid-air, and then, dozens of siege ladders were lifted out of the enemy array, and they ran forward at full speed under the cover of shields. Slammed into the walls.

Siege, defend the city. Go for it.

Li Su stood under the arrow tower in the center of the city wall, coldly watching the black tide hit the city wall fiercely, he had no experience in war, and he did not dare to command indiscriminately, the command of defending the city was all handed over to Jiang Quan, but he still stood motionless at the head of the city.

He is the main general. He is currently the highest official in Xizhou City, and he is the heart of the army when he stands here.

Zheng Xiaolou and Wang Zhu stood beside him, Zheng Xiaolou held a long sword and watched the movement outside the city with a solemn expression. Wang Zhu got a square wooden shield from nowhere to stand side by side with him, but whenever there was a cold arrow outside the city, it was often Zheng Xiaolou who shot a sword to knock the cold arrow away, or Wang Zhu used a wooden shield to block it, and the two of them faithfully performed the duties of the main general's personal guard at this time, and did not dare to let Li Su be injured to the slightest.

The battle of attack and defense soon entered the white heat, when dozens of cloud ladders were crawling like ants devouring trees, Jiang Quan finally gritted his teeth fiercely and said sharply: "Earthquake thunder, everyone is separated by three zhang, ignition of fire!" ”

A hundred soldiers still ignited the earth-shaking thunder at the same time as yesterday, and the earth-shaking thunder was thrown under the city wall in white smoke, and in the loud boom, the enemy once again left countless corpses and screams and wails, but this time, they did not flee.

The pupils in Li Su's eyes contracted violently, and his heart sank in vain.

In the face of such a sharp, lethal firearm, the morale of the enemy did not collapse, although their eyes were full of fear, but no one retreated, still biting the scimitar in their mouths and climbing towards the head of the city unyieldingly, slashing and killing, without flinching, every enemy soldier who climbed to the top of the city was full of crazy and decisive eyes, like a trapped beast, crazy to attack the defenders.

Not only the defenders, but even Jiang Quan, who commanded the defense of the city, was taken aback, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Earthquake thunder, throw it again!" Jiang Quan roared and ordered.

One by one, the small clay pots emitting white smoke were thrown down the city wall again, still the familiar rumbling explosion, and countless lives were still harvested, but the expected collapse and escape did not happen, and the enemy still climbed up desperately, deaf to the screams and cries of the robes under the city wall.

The morale of the attacking and defending sides suddenly reversed, the defenders became panicked, and the enemy army besieging the city took advantage of the restlessness of the defenders' resistance, and quickly climbed the city wall, and more than ten battlements at the head of the city in the west lost control, and the enemy took advantage of the situation to climb the city wall, jumped off the road at the head of the city, and began to fight with a scimitar in his hand, and Xizhou City instantly fell into the brink of loss!

Li Su stared at all this with a gloomy face, some things, they must have experienced it themselves before they were willing to believe it, thinking that they could defend the city by relying on the earth-shaking thunder, this idea is too naïve, the key to attack and defend, the key to victory or defeat is people, soldiers on both sides of the enemy, not a cold and ruthless small jar.

Turning his head to look, on the other side of the city, Jiang Quan has been entangled by three enemy troops, the three of them are quite disciplined, and the advance and retreat attack and defense are very tacitly coordinated.

Li Su's eyelids jumped, he couldn't take care of himself, and he was obviously unable to command the overall situation, so he had to take over the command at this time.

"Wang Zhu, hurry up and transfer a thousand people from the defenders in the south to reinforce the west, and assign a hundred people to throw earth-shaking thunder, don't care what happens on the city, just keep throwing earth-shaking thunder under the city, and intercept the enemy troops who have not yet climbed the city wall!"

"Zheng Xiaolou, Jiang Quan is in danger there, go and help him ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xiaolou rolled his eyes and said lightly: "I'm not leaving." ”

"You!" Li Su was furious and turned his head to glare at him.

"I won't leave if you stare at me, without me by your side, you can only live for an hour at most, and you will be killed by the enemy's cold arrows." Zheng Xiaolou said lazily, the city was so screaming that he didn't bother to pay attention to the corpses and the sea of blood, and his expression was as lazy and comfortable as a leisurely stroll.

Li Su's words were sluggish, although it was the truth, but the truth was very harsh, and he felt that he was a waste in his eyes......

"I'll settle accounts with you after this battle is over!" Li Su pointed at him heavily.

"Shh Zheng Xiaolou rolled his eyes, looking indifferent, like an old oilman who was caught smoking by the teaching director.

On the road at the head of the city, a thousand defenders mobilized from the east ran quickly with their halberds, quickly joined the battle group, and fought with the enemy troops who climbed the city wall, on the other side of the road, a hundred defenders lit the lead of the earth-shaking thunder, and kept throwing it under the city wall, and the explosions came and went, and the city wall screamed and wailed one after another, forming a fire blockade line between the enemy troops who climbed the city head and the enemy troops who were charging towards the city wall.

The enemy army who climbed the head of the city was only a few dozen people, according to the original siege tactics, once someone climbed up, they started a fight with the defenders of the city, and used their lives and lifelong strength to buy time for the robe that was climbing the wall behind, until there were more and more people climbing the city, and the defenders could not organize a strong resistance, so they could only take care of themselves and kill with the enemy, to this point, the city was basically lost.

But today's earth-shaking thunder still played a big role after all, the small clay pot that didn't need money kept throwing down, forming a fire blockade, the enemy sergeants who had climbed the city wall had no successor, reinforcements were cut off, dozens of people had no new strength to replenish, and soon they were drowned in the sea of guns and knives of the defenders, and the control of the western city was finally recaptured again.

Outside the city, in the enemy's middle army formation, the shocking march drum sounded again, and another black tide mercilessly rushed towards the city, shouting and killing for nine days.

Li Su sighed, the morale of the enemy army today is different from yesterday, it is obvious that the main general is determined to win Xizhou City, and he is determined to break through Xizhou in one fell swoop today.

Today, it will be a bitter battle, a vicious battle, and I don't know how tragic the next second round of fighting will be.

Jiang Quan has been wounded, the situation at the head of the city just now is thrilling, and when he was fighting with the enemy, he was stabbed in the back by an enemy soldier, the wound was a foot long, and he slashed diagonally from top to bottom, and the blood flowed at this moment.

Jiang Quan didn't care about these, he didn't even treat his wounds, and when he saw the second round of the enemy's siege begin, he couldn't help but spit fiercely, and laughed loudly: "It's a miscellaneous, Lao Tzu doesn't let me take a breath, the whole army, prepare for war!" First move the stones, rolling wood and fire oil, and save Lao Tzu some thunder, there are still tens of thousands of beasts waiting for us to kill outside! ”

Li Su turned his head and said: "Wang Zhu, transfer another hundred villagers from the east city wall, and temporarily build a simple workshop in the middle of the city, let these hundred villagers continue to build earth-shaking thunder for me, how much can be built, go and arrange it!" ”
