Chapter 666: Bloody Battle
Xu Fang turned around and left without hesitation.
Qin Kang and Li Lao were shaken for a moment, and when they reacted, Xu Fang had already entered the depths of the canyon, and the barbarians rushed out with a roar.
Li Lao was tricked, he was annoyed and angry, turned his head to look at the big hole, and with a long roar, he was about to chase and kill the Great Monk of the Central Plains.
Daoist friends stopped. ”
Qin Kang grabbed Li Lao.
"Let's go back first. ”
Li Lao was not a young and reckless person, calmed down, and the two returned to the city wall, when more than a dozen great monks surrounded him.
"Old Qin, what's going on?"
Qin Kang's identity is special, some people saw that the two of them did not chase and kill the great monk, and they had the intention of questioning, but they didn't dare to say it directly.
"Alas, I'm afraid that there are not many of you who have experienced the last battle to exterminate the Kou, the old man was still a well-known young general at that time, and he followed his father and uncle to participate in the war here, and today's situation is very similar to that time, but also a great monk of the Central Plains suddenly appeared, and in the case of interception by his uncle and another great monk, he actually shook the two of them and collapsed the city gate tower.
The uncle was tricked, and he lost his cool in anger, and under the clamor of the two great monks who came later, they went to hunt down the man together, and the result was 、、、"
Qin Kang showed a look of grief;
As a result, they were ambushed, all killed, my father was grief-stricken, and sent a letter to the saint, and the saint sent a decree to mobilize more than 30 great monks to rush to reinforcements, so there was an earth-shattering battle, and finally a total of dozens of great monks collapsed the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, blocked the rocky valley, and ended the battle to destroy the Kou, as for the final result of the war, to be honest, I don't know, my father and others don't want to mention it, and no one dares to ask. ”
Qin Kang briefly introduced part of the plot of the last war to exterminate the invaders.
"Old Qin, do you suspect that this person is a trick to lure soldiers?"
"I'm not sure, but I don't dare to be careless, we have gathered less than one-third of the manpower of the last war, so be cautious. ”
The crowd couldn't help but look solemn.
The barbarians were also fast enough to rush to the city wall quickly.
Then I saw the big hole where the rubble was still collapsing intermittently, and I cheered and flocked there.
Fortunately, Liu Guozhong's response and organizational ability were high enough, and he brought in a large number of crossbowmen to stand on the pile of rocks like a barbarian climbing up and release arrows.
Arrows rained down.
This time, the barbarians had wooden shields and saw iron weapons, indicating that this group of barbarians was not the same people as a few days ago.
Although there is a wooden shield and a slightly decent weapon, in the face of the high-quality strong bows and crossbows of the Central Plains people, the people who rushed in front fell down in pieces, screaming and roaring, outlining a tragic offensive and defensive battle picture.
The Barbarians suffer from poor armor and don't have too many high-quality ranged attack weapons;
The barbarians used the primitive wooden bow, with only a small number of iron arrowheads, but there was one advantage that the Central Plains people could not match, that is, the bows and arrows were all super large, because they lived by hunting all year round, the arrows were extremely accurate, and the arm strength was strong, so the range was comparable to the strong crossbow of the exterminator army.
It's just that there aren't many such archers, but they have also caused a lot of casualties to the crossbowmen of the Exterminator Army.
Barbarians also have a specialty, that is, throwing objects, throwing far, heavy, and accurate.
The exterminators inflicted great damage on the barbarians, and the sloping slopes that were not very high were littered with corpses filled with arrows, and the blood melted the snow on the rocks without turning white, and even raising mist.
On the side of the exterminators, they were shot by a three-foot-long rough wooden arrow, and stoned to death by a child's head, and in less than a moment, more than a thousand people were carried away, not counting the wounded. 、
The battle never stopped, lasted for two days and one night, and the tragedy is indescribable.
It wasn't until a snowstorm hit that there was nothing to be seen on the opposite side, and the battle had to be stopped As for how much the barbarians lost, because they were covered with snow and could not be observed, but seeing that more than 30,000 soldiers killed in the battle of the exterminator army lined up in the streets and alleys, it was estimated that the barbarians were at least twice as large as the exterminator army.
And that's not even counting the wounded on both sides.
Nearly 20,000 were wounded and more than 3,000 were seriously wounded.
The heavy snow three feet later covered the corpse, but it couldn't hide the scarlet blood.
The blood not only soaked the pile of rubble, which was half a city high, but also flowed to both sides, forming a blood-red pool of water inside the city, and even more blood-red outside the city, and filled with blood mist.
The inside of the city is a cofferdam with earth, and the outside of the city is allowed to flow.
The barbarians sacrificed a lot, but they failed to break through, thinking that the great chief of Wu Wei must be very angry, and the exterminating army held the gap with great difficulty, and the sacrifice was great.
The barbarians retreated, but the exterminating army did not dare to slack off, and the reinforcements drawn from the rear city braved the wind and snow to carry stones to fill the gap, which was too big, and it took a day and a night to plug less than half of it.
But it's about as tall as the city wall.
To fill this huge gap, Liu Guozhong used the method of splashing water and freezing to freeze the huge stones together.
The ten rune masters took the opportunity to expand the rune array to the cliffs on both sides by half a mile long, more than ten zhang high, the hole that was broken by Xu Fang was filled by less than half, and it was too difficult to increase the height again, and it could only be done temporarily, and the rune master superimposed an extra layer of formation here.
The wind stopped, but the snow was still falling, and the two sides had no choice but to strike in this weather.
Both sides licked their wounds, the weather improved, and there must be a bitter battle.
Qin Kang and the others had been nervously on guard, in case the opponent's great masters and great monks raided, knowing that the two sides had stopped fighting, and the opponent's masters and great monks did not appear, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"We must not relax, we divide the labor and take turns to be vigilant 、、、"
In the end, Qin Kang proposed a shift system, so that everyone could get rest.
It was also at this time that the materials aided by the vassal states arrived, and the previous materials were all aided by the Xia Kingdom and the Cangyue Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom had long been expected, and the Cangyue Kingdom was the closest.
Then Li Long's will also arrived, after contact and consultation, the nearby Suli country, Sushan country, Baling country, Zongye country, Wuwei country, and Cangyue country respectively sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to support, Xia country dispatched 30,000 Huwei troops, led by deputy general Lan Fang, and the navy transported half the way, so it could not advance, and the rivers in the north froze.
A total of 90,000 troops are advancing here, and the fastest Cangyue Kingdom and the Xia Guohu Wei Army, which was halfway through the journey by the navy, will be able to reach it in about five days.
For others, it takes half a month for the farthest ones and about ten days for the nearer ones.
Of the 300,000 horses brought out by Liu Guozhong, more than 100,000 people were killed or wounded, which can be described as a huge loss.
And in the big tents in the canyon, the warriors of the five tribes are gathering.
This time they suffered heavy losses and failed to take Guancheng, which made them extremely frustrated.
