It was already late at night, but the lights in the city of Marudu were still bright, and from time to time there were bursts of shouts and killings, that is, the Goguryeo people who were unwilling to fail launched a counterattack against the Tang army, wanting to drive the Tang army out of the city, but the Tang army had long been prepared for defense, and the counterattack of the Goguryeo people seemed to them more like a struggle before death.

The fighting in the city continued, and Li Xiu in the rear naturally did not rest, in fact, the entire Tang Army camp has been in high-speed operation today, not to mention the soldiers on the front line, the pressure on the logistics side is also very great, the front needs all kinds of materials, and the meals need to be prepared and sent to the front line at night, in addition to warm felt, because the night in Marudu City has become very cold, and the water for drinking will freeze after a while, if you do not supply food and warm clothes, I am afraid that many soldiers on the front line will be frozen to death.

The most headache is the various wounded soldiers sent back from the front, the Tang army has set up a special wounded battalion, and the method of wound suturing is also promoted throughout the army, so that the survival rate of the soldiers has increased greatly, but this also increases the pressure on logistics, some soldiers are too seriously injured to be sent to the bottom of the mountain, so Li Xiu asked people to set up a wounded battalion in front of the city gate, which is full of soldiers waiting for treatment, even if they have been prepared in advance, but the number of casualties is still beyond Li Xiu's expectations, and finally even he himself went into battle for treatment, After all, it is one more to save one.

was busy until the second half of the night, the Goguryeo people in the city seemed to have given up the struggle, the shouts of killing gradually stopped sounding, and the number of Tang troops sent for treatment also decreased rapidly, which made Li Xiu and them finally breathe a sigh of relief, and let other medical officers take over the wounded in their hands, after all, he was in charge of logistics, and there were other things in the army that he needed to worry about.

However, when Li Xiu left the tent where the wounded were treated, he found that there was blood everywhere on his body, and even the blood on his clothes had formed a blood scab, which made him laugh bitterly, most of the wounded on the battlefield were miserable, and some even needed amputation, and the severe pain would also make the wounded struggle, although there was no mirror, he estimated that his face and head must have been covered with blood.

Although his body was full of blood, Li Xiu couldn't care about this, and was ready to enter the city at the moment, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin had also entered the city, and set up a marshal tent not far from the city gate, as the core of the whole army, so as to facilitate the command of the army in the city to attack, Li Xiu also wanted to inquire about the situation in the city?

However, when Li Xiu just came to the city gate, he suddenly felt a chill on his forehead, and then pieces of white snowflakes fell down, which made him stunned, and then raised his head, and found that in the dark night sky, countless snowflakes flew with the breeze, and finally fell to the ground full of blood, and in the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with a layer of white snowflakes.

"It's finally snowing!" Li Xiu stretched out his hand to take a few snowflakes, watching them slowly turn into water droplets in his hands, and sighed at the moment, and at the same time felt a little happy in his heart, fortunately this snow fell a day late, otherwise they would probably have to return in vain this time.

The snow was very big and fierce, and after a while, a layer of snow fell on the ground, stepping on it made a "squeak" sound, and the sky and the earth were also white, Li Xiu came to Qin Qiong's handsome tent against the heavy snow, only to see that he and Cheng Yanjin were also here, and the two people who were more than 100 years old together did not rest, at this time, with red eyes, they were marking the defense line of the enemy and us on the map, and from time to time they issued an order, and the herald in the room also hurriedly ran out to convey.

Seeing that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin were so busy, Li Xiu didn't dare to disturb them, just when the stove was burning in the room, Li Xiu first heated some water to wash his hands and face, and then boiled water to make a pot of strong tea, and when he sent the tea to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, they found Li Xiu, and said a little embarrassed at the moment: "When did you come?" ”

"I've been here for a while, just now I was rescuing the wounded in the wounded barracks, and now the war doesn't seem to be too tight, so I'll come to inquire about the situation, and if there is anything else you need in terms of logistics, please ask the general to order!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, and at the same time tasted the bitter strong tea, although the taste was not good, but at least it could make people refreshed.

"It's nothing big for the time being, but tomorrow morning you must ensure that the soldiers on the front line have a hot meal, because tomorrow is the time for a decisive battle with Quangai Suwen, and you can't fight without anything in your stomach!" Qin Qiong also took a sip of tea at this time, at this time, the two sides are fighting for logistics and materials, the worse the natural conditions, the more important the role of logistics.

"No problem, but it's snowing outside, can you still attack yesterday?" Li Xiu nodded for a moment, but then asked, the snow outside was very heavy, and although they attacked the city, it might also affect the attack.

"It's snowing outside?" Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin were also stunned when they heard Li Xiu's words, and then walked quickly to the door to take a look, but their brows also furrowed.

"It's already the fourth watch, and there are still nearly two hours before dawn, if it keeps raining so much, I'm afraid the snow on the ground will be half a foot deep, and it will definitely affect tomorrow's attack." Cheng Yanjin also frowned at this time and said, Marudu City is built in the belly of the mountain, the terrain is already complicated, and now it encounters such a heavy snow, which will definitely increase the difficulty of tomorrow's attack.

"General Qin, what is the situation in the city now, how many places do we control, and where are the Goguryeo people?" Li Xiu's purpose was to inquire about the situation in the city, and now he finally had the opportunity to ask.

"Our army has occupied half of the city of Marudu, and now the remaining Goguryeo people are retreating to the northern area, which is also the core area of the city of Marudu, and the royal palace of Goguryeo is also there, and now the Goguryeo people have blocked the streets and built another line of defense, it seems that they plan to fight with us to the last soldier!" Qin Qiong opened his mouth at this time to introduce, but when he said this, his brows were also furrowed, after all, after this heavy snowfall, it would be even more difficult to defeat the Goguryeo people tomorrow.

Li Xiu heard that Marudu City had only occupied half of it, and his heart couldn't help but become a little heavy, don't look at the Tang army's numerical superiority, but its combat effectiveness is far above the Goguryeo people, but even so, after fighting for a day and a night, they only occupied half of the city, which is just because Goguryeo is familiar with the terrain, and it seems that they also plan to coexist with Marudu City, otherwise it is impossible to fight so tenaciously.
