The battle for the side wall has begun. Li Hong cut off the heads of the enemy soldiers who had just emerged with a single sword. The other defenders began to smash with stones, roll with wood, and shoot with arrows. The enemy soldiers screamed and fell onto the hillside or on the earthen platform they had built themselves.

After the initial contact, some of the Xianbei soldiers had already jumped on the battlements, and some had already killed the walls. Hand-to-hand combat is getting more and more intense. A team of 100 led by the commander Zhou Hao was firmly suppressed around Meilou by the archers of the Xianbei soldiers, and it was impossible to go down to support. Zhou Hao led the team to try to rush down several times, but the casualties were too great and he had to give up, so he could only shoot from the side with a bow and arrow to help the defenders relieve a little pressure. And the hundred-man team guarding between the main wall and the auxiliary wall was even more overwhelmed by the condescending archers. Now only Cheng Jie's sixty people are desperately blocking in the middle of the auxiliary wall.

The siege battle in the direction of the main city wall has entered a white heat. Arrows flew in the air, huge stones were smashed down one by one, and rows of logs rolled down the ladder. The enemy's besieging soldiers were either killed by the arrows, or knocked away by its tremendous impact, and none of them were spared, or they were wounded or killed. The soldiers hiding at the base of the city walls were either scalded by boiling water or doused with hot oil. The corpses of enemy soldiers under the walls were strewn and scattered everywhere. The wails of the wounded soldiers were mixed with the sounds of the fighting, which was particularly harsh.

Uyan concentrated his main forces on the left side of the city wall, and a large group of 500 soldiers took turns to attack the fortress. The Han army on the right side of the city wall launched intermittent attacks, forcing them to be unable to draw forces to support the left side.

On the side walls, more soldiers poured into the city. Li Hong had no way to deal with it, so he had to take a step back and help other comrades block the enemy soldiers by the way. At this time, a man's ferocity was useless, he was surrounded by the enemy, and although he fought fiercely, he could not stop the enemy from killing his comrades. Cheng Jie's long arrow had already cut through the mouth, but he was still roaring and whirling with the enemy. A Xianbei soldier leaned out from the city wall and saw his comrade-in-arms being chopped to death by Cheng Jie's sword. In a fit of rage, he jumped onto the city wall, and before Cheng Jie's long sword stabbed into his chest, he shot a killing arrow at Cheng Jie's throat. The Xianbei soldier fell down the city wall with Cheng Jie's long sword, and Cheng Xie opened his eyes wide and fell straight on his back.

Li Hong held up the enemy's knife and kicked one leg on the opponent's calf bone. The enemy roared and screamed, but then he was slashed by Li Hong's axe on his waist and flew sideways. Li Hong shouted at the Meilou on the mountain with all his might: "Support, ......"

Zhou Hao's heart was bleeding, and if he didn't rush down, there would be no one on the defensive side of the auxiliary wall, and it had basically been completely broken through by the enemy. He threw away the long shield in his hand, turned around and raised his sword and shouted: "Brothers, kill it, and you will die like you." ”

Zhou Hao suddenly rushed out of the plum building, shouting: "Kill, ......", he faced the enemy's dense rain of arrows, indomitable, and bravely took the lead in killing. The soldiers behind were inspired by Zhou Hao's bravery, roared angrily, and each rushed out of their hiding places, followed him closely, and rushed down.

The long arrow screamed through Zhou Hao's body. Zhou Hao's sturdy body shook, but he still ran forward tenaciously, still screaming in his mouth. Then the second, third, and fourth arrows pierced his body almost in no particular order. Zhou Hao felt that his body suddenly became lighter, and he felt as if he was about to float. He roared and flew up. He saw more arrows into his body, but he was already flying, and he no longer knew it was his body.

Li Hong was stunned. He saw that Zhou Hao's chest was full of arrows, but he still ran fast and rushed down with the roaring soldiers behind him.

After losing more than 30 people, the hundred-man team on the Mei Tower finally broke through the death line and entered the fierce hand-to-hand combat battlefield. The two dozen Xianbei soldiers on the city wall were immediately wrapped in dumplings, and all of them were killed on the top of the city wall by the angry soldiers.

Standing on a hill in the distance, Sully cried out, "Good man. What a man. The second strike team rushed up for me. ”

Tian Jing commanded the troops to finally repel the enemy's first ferocious attack. The soldiers looked at the Hu soldiers who were rapidly retreating, and let out a sky-shattering cheer. A soldier ran back and forth on the city wall holding high the flag of the Han army, shouting in his mouth to vent the happiness in his heart.

Wang Jin strode over, his armor covered in blood. Tian Jing greeted him and asked with concern, "How are the casualties?" ”

"Back to my lord, fifty-four people were killed and twenty-seven were seriously wounded."

"How can there be so many?" Tian Jing was a little surprised. If the casualties were so large, there would be almost no more people after a few days of fighting.

"Back to my lord, many soldiers participated in the battle for the first time, and they lacked experience in battle, which led to an increase in unnecessary casualties. The next wave of attacks may be much better. Wang Jin hurriedly comforted Tian Jingdao.

Tian Jing nodded, "Tell the soldiers that weapons should be used as sparingly as possible and not wasted." If they all swarm down like they just did, how many of them won't be used? ”

Wang Jin agreed, saluted, and hurriedly walked to the left side of the city wall. He had to gather a few soldiers and quickly convey the request of the adults.

The enemies on the side walls increased again, and the battlefield gradually expanded. The Xianbei archers, who suppressed the Han army, stopped shooting for fear of accidentally injuring their own people. Wu Fei, who had long been in a fit of rage, took a whole hundred soldiers, taking advantage of this gap and quickly killing towards the defensive area in the middle of the auxiliary wall. For a time, the enemy and the enemy on the city wall were entangled, and the flesh and blood of the killing were flying.

Li Hong's hands and feet that have been killed are weak. For the first time, he felt that he was powerless, and he staggered back from the shock, leaning against the city wall and gasping for breath. He saw his comrade-in-arms being cut down by the enemy in front of him, but he just didn't have the strength to raise his sword, and he didn't have the strength to rush over to save him. Tears of sadness flowed down his cheeks.

The horns of the enemy's attack sounded again under the city of Luronse. Immediately after that, the earth-shattering war drums rushed straight into the sky above Lu Longsai, and the sound shook the sky.

The second attack of the Hu coalition forces began.

The winter sun was white, and it hid behind thick clouds, as if frightened by the killing field in front of it, and from time to time it showed half of its face to peep, and then shrank back. Before you know it, it has taken refuge behind the Lulongsai Pass and is gone.

Wu Yan's eyes were hooked, staring indifferently at the bloody battlefield, without saying a word. This was the fourth attack on Luronse in the afternoon.

He looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and suddenly turned back and said:

"Give the order, stop the attack, collect the troops and return to the camp."

The sound of a huge bull's horn slowly resounded across the battlefield. The soldiers of the Hu coalition army quickly retreated like a tide from all corners of the battlefield.

Xiong Ba squinted at the bloody battlefield, looked at the Chinese character Daxu fluttering in the sky above Lu Longsai, and suddenly said: "This Tian Jing commander is really good, we underestimated him in the past." ”

Wu Yan smiled casually: "So what? Will he still be able to conjure up troops? ”

Xiong Ba nodded in agreement: "Siege warfare is a war of attrition. In the case of equal conditions on both sides, whoever has the most soldiers will be the final victor. Although we do not have an absolute superiority in numbers, we can achieve absolute superiority through local battlefields and a large amount of the opponent's living forces. ”

"If we have fifteen thousand men, I promise to take Luronse in three days. Ten to one, fighting for consumption can kill Tian Jing. ”

Tian Jing stood on the city tower and watched the Hu coalition army slowly retreat to the camp. The fierce battle this afternoon was completely unexpected, and the surprise was that the enemy attacked Mei Lou, and the battle there seemed to be very fierce.

He was a little worried, and he was very anxious to know how many soldiers were there.

Li Hong sat on the battlements of the city wall, looking at the remains of his comrades lying on the city wall, and tears couldn't stop flowing down. The entire scout team is basically gone. It was his compatriots, his comrades-in-arms, but now they are all in memory. The cruelty of war can not be summed up in a bloody way.

Wu Fei looked at Tian Jing's face, couldn't hold back his tears, bowed his head and was speechless.

"How many soldiers are left?" Tian Jing asked softly.

"Sixty-two soldiers are left to fight after the seriously wounded."

"More than two hundred losses in one battle?" Tian Jing almost found it difficult to accept this fact, "Then what about tomorrow?" "He only has one and two hundred reserve troops, and if they are all pulled to Meilou to defend tomorrow, once there is a hole in his frontal defense, there will be no troops to urgently replenish.

"Tun Commander Zhou Hao, the three centurions were all killed." Wu Fei said softly again.

Tian Jing's face was already very ugly. Why did Wuyan give up the easy and the difficult, and definitely attack Meilou? My loss is great, isn't his loss even greater? In just such a small place, I lost more than 200 soldiers, and I can't afford to lose them.

Tian Jing also probably understood Wu Yan's intentions. Wuyan fought with the Han army in Meilou, which was more cost-effective than fighting with the Han army on the main city wall. The main city wall has a large defensive surface, and the soldiers on the defending side can complement each other and assist each other, while the attacking side can only attack passively. After a day of fighting, according to the proportion of casualties on both sides, the attacking side naturally suffered a heavy loss. But on the small defensive side, the defenders have few soldiers, and there is almost no possibility of supporting each other. The attacker only needs to pounce a little. In this way, in proportion to the casualties, the attacking side does not seem to suffer very much. Uyan probably bullied him for having few soldiers and wanted to consume his troops on the flank battlefield.

But you can't give up Mei Lou. The plum tower was controlled by the enemy, and the defense on the left side of the main city wall was completely exposed to the enemy's bow and arrows. It was originally an advantageous location to strengthen the defense, but giving the enemy such an attack turned into chicken ribs. The acute shortage of soldiers is the bottleneck of the current defense.

Tian Jing was very distressed, and now he could only hope that the reinforcements would arrive immediately.

When Li Hong was having dinner on the city wall, the military Hou Wu Fei came to tell him that he was already the captain of the remaining sixty-two people. During the night, all the 200 men of the reserve troops came up and entered the defensive positions. He was under the command of Ji Ming, the commander of this tun.

Sully was unanimously touted by everyone, which made him very excited.

"Tomorrow, I will attack fiercely for another day, and I will definitely swallow Tian Jing's reserve troops." Sully shook his big fat head and said triumphantly.

Xiong Ba smiled and said, "Tomorrow, if you can destroy about two hundred more people like today, then the day when Lu Longsai will be captured is just around the corner." ”

"You can rest assured, although my troops have lost five or six hundred men, I still have nearly two thousand men, and they are fully competent. Just to add a day's arrows to me. In the afternoon I shot all the arrows. ”

Xiong Ba looked at Wuyan. Wu Yan immediately smiled and said, "This preparation is still available." I wish you a victorious start tomorrow, and we will be stationed in Luronse as soon as possible. ”

Que Ji suddenly asked on the side: "Tomorrow are we going to attack for a day, or half a day?" ”

Xiong Ba said: "The soldiers are very tired, and the weapons and supplies must be replenished, so why not attack for half a day?" The key is still Su Li, to be fast, to be fierce, to be ruthless, and to annihilate his living force. As soon as the goal is achieved, leave the battlefield immediately. ”

Sully interjected, "Didn't you say attack for a day?" ”

Xiong Ba laughed: "Your troops have been attacking since the morning. We led the army to make a show under the city in the morning, forcing Tian Jing not to move. ”

"What if I take Mei Lou down in the morning?" Su Li suddenly said seriously.

"If you take Meilou, Tian Jing can only draw troops from the frontal defensive position to support. Then it will be easier for us to attack the main wall in the afternoon. But your losses are certainly very large. I still insisted on capturing Yunlou when the Han army was negligent in guarding against Yunlou. This will reduce the losses of the troops and deal a greater blow to the morale of the enemy. ”

"Will it break the city?" Que Ji asked eagerly.

Xiong Ba shook his head: "Impossible. Now the morale of the Han army is high, the supplies are sufficient, and the troops are still enough to support it for a while. Even if he loses the protection of his wings, he can still hold on. Luronse is indeed difficult to attack, and it is not easy to take. We must fight with them for numbers, morale, materials, and perseverance. Whoever can make it to the end will be the winner. ”

"What if it snows?" Uyan asked.

"Withdraw." Xiong Ba said firmly.

Wuyan, Que Ji, and Su Li looked at each other, and they were about to speak almost at the same time, but Su Li took the lead, "Then we won't be busy in vain." ”

"So we have to be united and take Luronse as soon as possible. Everyone is in the same boat, one is lost, and one is prosperous. Take Luronse, and the future wealth will be inexhaustible. ”
