Ji Ming pointed to the camp of the Hu people in the distance and asked Li Hongdao, "I don't know if they still fight?" ”

"It's going to be hit. Although Uyan lost more than 2,000 people in Suli, he did not break his bones. He still has time, and he will find reinforcements. When they have caught their breath and regained their morale, the time has come to attack. But there are just too few of us. Now there are only a little more than a thousand people who can be alive and kicking. Standing side by side on this wall, they can't get to that end. If reinforcements are not available, our situation is indeed very dangerous. ”

Ji Ming sighed and didn't make a sound.

"Righteousness (Ji Ming's word), we will survive. You'll be able to go home and see Madame. Li Hong hurriedly comforted him. Ji Ming took out the sachet from his arms and looked at it again and again, his eyes full of affection.

"Xiaoyu's life is very bitter." Ji Ming suddenly said, "She is an orphan, and her parents were killed by the Hu people. Later, she was adopted by Gu-sama. After the death of Lord Gu, she was alone and lived by helping others sew and wash the pulp. Do you know how I met her? ”

Li Hong shook his head. He saw that Ji Ming was very interested in talking, and it was difficult to interrupt him, so he accompanied him to walk slowly on the city wall, listening silently.

The cold wind in the middle of the night blew cold on the body, and the wind still carried the smell of burnt trees. The big silk in the sky above Lu Longsai flew in the night, making a huge "pop" sound. Tomorrow, will it be calm tomorrow? Li Hong looked at the enemy camp looming outside the city and thought alone.

Li Hong has been promoted to the head of the tun. Because there were no soldiers, he and Ji Ming, the two bare-pole commanders, were responsible for patrolling the city wall at night.

Xiong Ba came back late at night this time. Wu Yan and Que Ji hurriedly took him into the big tent. Since the fall of Sully's army, the relationship between the two has improved significantly. War is not child's play, and there is no room for personal feelings. The most important thing here is unity.

"Are there any reinforcements for the Han Chinese?" Xiong Ba asked.

"At present, what I see on the city wall is still Tian Jing's flag, and no other battle flags have appeared." Uyan replied.

"What I'm worried about now is the reinforcements of the Han Chinese, and once they arrive in Lulongse in time, our operation will be considered a failure." Xiong Ba said worriedly.

"Where's our reinforcements?" That's what Que Ji cares about the most.

"It will be there in three days. The reinforcements arranged by the marshal in Baitan City have already rushed over at the fastest speed. Because the baggage needs to be transported at the same time, the time is a little later. ”

"Shall we wait for reinforcements to come and attack, or will we start attacking from tomorrow?" As soon as Uyan heard that reinforcements were coming, his mood immediately improved.

"Let's start tomorrow. In the past few days, the soldiers have regained their morale, and each of them is full of anger and wants to kill Luronse to avenge the army of Sully. Que Ji took over and said viciously.

"The soldiers' desire to fight is indeed very high. In the past few days, several thousand-necked commanders and centurions have come to ask for battle. I think I can attack it immediately, attack it continuously, for three days in a row. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, they just took Luronse in one go. Wu Yan's face was excited, he gestured excitedly with his hands, and said menacingly.

Xiong Ba laughed, "Everything listens to the king." ”

"And what do you have to say?" Uyan knew that Xiong Ba was trying his best to assert his authority, so he always spoke nicely. But Xiong Ba does have a set of battles, and some combat details still need to be made clear by him.

"Although we lost more than 2,000 troops in Suli very unexpectedly, we did not lose in vain. The Surly forces fulfilled the task we had booked, and it was done completely. Now I estimate that Tian Jing has no reserve troops in his hands. In the first two days, we saw with our own eyes that his losses on the plum tower would not be less than three or four hundred people. Therefore, we have attacked Luronse with the current army of 5,000 people, and after a few days, I am afraid that there will be not much of his defensive force left, and there will not be enough reinforcements for us to eat. ”

"We're going to play a little bit faster. It's been six days since we arrived in Louronse. It stands to reason that Xu Wucheng, who is closest to it, should have sent reinforcements. Que Ji added on the side.

"Your Excellency is right. But Xu Wucheng's reinforcements are not to worry about, how many people can be sent from a small county town. Two hundred people are already terrible, and they are all infantry defending the city, and they have no combat effectiveness. Xiong Ba said unexpectedly.

"This morning, we were still divided into two groups. The lord sent a centurion with 300 people, planted more flags in Yunshan, and pretended to be 2,000 people to attack Yunlou. It's okay to make a show, the main thing is to contain the Han army on the cloud tower, don't let it join the main city wall battlefield, and at the same time add a little pressure to them, let them know that our reinforcements have arrived. ”

"Now the temperature in Meishan is as high as a furnace, and so is Meilou. So Luronse's left wing has been completely scrapped. The Han Chinese defended their front without support on the left flank, but for us, they completely lost the fear of being hit on the flank. We can unleash our hands and feet and storm the left wall of Luronse, until it is broken. ”

Day 7. On the seventh day after Uyan led his army to the city of Luronse, Uyan began the siege again. The soldiers on both sides fought and off the city.

The ferocity and belligerence that flowed through the blood of the Karasuma and Xianbei people, after the fear and sorrow had passed, soon inspired them to hate the Han people even stronger.

For decades, or even centuries, the Han people's policy towards the Hu people was to make peace with each other, except for conquest, and the time for vendetta between them was far more than the time of friendship during the period of peace and kinship. Who can tell between right and wrong, right and wrong. Kill, except to kill is to kill. In his heyday, the king of the Xianbei people, Tanshi Huai, angrily refused to make peace. He wants to kill the Han people and invade the Han Kingdom. This is the inherent concept and attitude of every foreigner towards the Great Han Kingdom. Even if you get along temporarily, it's because you don't have enough strength, and you need time to accumulate strength and prepare for the next attack. No foreign leader would have thought of reconciling with the Great Han Kingdom for eternity. Because the Great Han Kingdom has never stopped expanding its territory. As long as there is an opportunity, the Great Han Kingdom will enter the desert and the grassland. The Hu people have hated the Han people for generations.

Li Hong held a large stone high with both hands and smashed it at the enemy soldiers who were climbing up rapidly. Today, I don't know how many times I have repeated this by throwing stones and arrows, and throwing huge logs up the ladder with other soldiers. The soldiers on both sides lost their minds a little. From morning to afternoon, I even ran while eating, and stuffed it into my mouth. The enemy implemented a breakthrough at several points and managed to climb the walls. Although it was quickly defeated, it was a big blow to the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

The soldiers on the cloud tower were tense and very nervous to confront the enemy outside the auxiliary wall. From time to time, the two sides shot arrows at each other, and the enemy dug and bagged in the mountains beyond the shooting range, as if they were about to start a big battle. After Tian Jing heard the report, although he suspected that it was the enemy's diversionary action, he was not sure, so he had to ask the soldiers defending Yunlou to be careful and not to look at other battlefields.

When the horn of the enemy's retreat sounded, the Han soldiers on the city wall let out a long breath. A hard, bloody day is finally over. The Han army suffered heavy losses, and in the face of a frenzied enemy, the weakness of the defender's weak forces was clearly visible. Although it is said that there will be no immediate danger, if the enemy attacks like this every day, in a few days, after most of the defender's soldiers have been lost, the main city wall will definitely be lost.

The Han army again lost nearly 100 soldiers, including one commander.

Tian Jing looked in the direction of the Crescent Tower, and kept muttering in her mouth. He was praying for reinforcements from the Han army to arrive soon. According to the time calculation, if nothing else, the reinforcements of Taishou Liu Zheng should arrive in three or four days. But why hasn't Xu Wucheng, who is closest to him, come with reinforcements yet?

On the eighth day, as always, Wuyan, Que Ji supervised the formation, and the soldiers launched a tidal attack, with the momentum of vowing not to give up until the city was taken. On this day more enemies stormed the walls. Jun Sima Wang Jin led 50 soldiers with strong martial arts, just like firefighters, where there was a crisis, they would fight.

Li Hong saw that the soldier Hou Wufei died. Wu Fei is his favorite boss, he likes to see that smiling face, gentle and kind. Wu Fei also likes Li Hong, he laughs when he sees Li Hong, and always talks to him for a long time.

Wu Fei was slashed in the chest by the enemy, and the whole person flew sideways. Li Hong couldn't save him. He watched as Wu Fei was hacked to death. Li Hong screamed weakly. Although he rushed to the side of the enemy who killed Wu Fei with great might, ready to avenge him, more soldiers rushed ahead of him and chopped the enemy into several large pieces. Li Hong knelt beside Wu Fei, wanting to cry without tears.

On the ninth day, the fighting was horrific to the point of heinousness. The enemy is really crazy. They erected more ladders, more soldiers were thrown into the battlefield, they did not rest, they attacked in turns.

Wu Yan and Que Ji also seemed to be a little out of control, they held their war swords, and they actually stood a hundred steps below the city to supervise the formation. The last bit of strength of the soldiers was squeezed out by their respective leaders. They no longer think about life and death, they only have glory in their minds, only Luronse.

Tian Jing was covered in blood, and the swarthy steel spear roared, flying back and forth among the enemy, tumbling and flying, desperately eating away at the enemy's life. On the left side of the main city wall, Wang Jin and his subordinates threw all their soldiers into a fierce battle. The enemy is swarming up, there are too many, and there is no longer time to smash stones, roll wood, and can only fight the enemy hand-to-hand on the city walls. On the right side of the main city wall, Chai Ting commanded the troops, and he was still able to barely cope with the situation, and that was because his side was not the enemy's main direction of attack. But even then, he did not have a single soldier to support the left side of the battlefield.

As it got dark, the enemy slowly retreated into the camp.

On the walls, under the walls, there were corpses everywhere. The Han soldiers were exhausted, and one by one they sat on the top of the bloodstained city wall, enjoying a rare rest.

Tian Jing looked at Wang Jin and Chai Ting, and the three of them were silent. The losses of the troops had reached such a point that they could not maintain the entire defense of the walls. Now there are only more than 500 soldiers who can stand on the city wall and continue to fight, including the 200 soldiers on the cloud tower. The defending soldiers of the left wall were under the fierce attack of the enemy for three consecutive days, and only more than eighty people remained. Tomorrow the fortress may be breached by the enemy.

"My lord, the enemy's losses are also very great. Looking at the troops they withdraw, there will be no more than two thousand people. We lost half, they lost more than half, and everyone was basically balanced in numbers. Chai Ting said slowly. He was comforting Tian Jing, and he was also comforting himself.

"Yes, sir. The losses of Uyan's troops were very large. Tomorrow he will not be able to spread out all the attack surfaces, and he can only choose the method of focusing on the attack. If that's the case, we can focus on defending in his attacking position. Tomorrow can still support the past. Wang Jin said in a hoarse voice.

"Enemy reinforcements are coming soon." Tian Jing said softly.

Chai Ting and Wang Jin were dumbfounded.

"My lord, do you have any basis?" Chai Ting hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Uyan's reckless attack, regardless of casualties, just exposes that he has support behind him. If he continues to fight like this, his troops will soon be completely depleted. He's not an idiot, he's put all his own people together, and there's no benefit, would he do such a stupid thing? ”

"What are we going to do?" Wang Jin looked at the soldiers lying on the ground and asked helplessly.

Tian Jing was speechless. What can he do? Without support, without soldiers, there is no way to continue this battle, it is about to end.

"We will be the sinners of the Han Dynasty." Tian Jing said sadly, "Future generations will bear this shame that will never be erased for us." ”

At this time, a dense drum beat came from the direction of the Crescent Tower.

The soldiers on the city wall were stunned at first, and then burst into sky-shattering cheers. Reinforcements, the reinforcements that have been waiting for them are finally here. The soldiers suddenly became excited, they shouted loudly, and they swarmed to the inner side of the city wall to look in the direction of the Lulong Tower.

A knight draped in a drape and armed with a broadsword suddenly appeared in the square of Louronse. The soldiers shouted again, and the joy that came from their hearts was extremely relieved by the roar after shout.

Tian Jing's face suddenly changed from ecstasy to grief, a kind of grief of extreme disappointment.
