After the Tang army successfully took over Xuansu City, they first sent soldiers into it to clean up possible zombies and evil things.

At the same time, it will be expanded on the basis of the existing city, otherwise it will not be able to accommodate the supplies hauled by 30,000 troops and hundreds of steam trucks.

Fortunately, in this expedition to Goguryeo, the Financial Chamber of Commerce, which contracted military logistics, specially set up a [Tiangongmen] engineering team of 3,000 craftsmen, plus tens of thousands of skilled laborers working under the [Tiangongmen], to build the city wall quickly.

In order to repair the wall before sunset, Li Daozong ordered that in addition to 5,000 soldiers be on guard.

The scene of the Goguryeo people who ordered all the mercenaries and the surrender of Xuansu City was put into labor, and the scene of tens of thousands of people starting work together can be described as spectacular.

In order to rush the progress, the engineering team of [Tiangongmen] gave up building the wall that was too tall, and only let the laborers be responsible for loosening the soil.

Under the condition of saving limited mana as much as possible, the craftsmen concentrated on the [Soil Removal Technique] to build a three-zhang high soil fence on the side of the ditch where the soil was taken, and the depth of the ditch was five zhang high, which was enough to defend against the impact of most zombies and evil things.

I don't know if it was because the crowd was too strong and the movement of the city was too large, or if tens of thousands of people were exposed to the open space to attract evil creatures.

The zombies and evil creatures that usually only haunt after nightfall also appeared around Xuansu City in broad daylight.

Under the desperate fierce battle of 5,000 soldiers, the engineering team barely covered the earthen fence used for defense before sunset, and the whole army withdrew into the city and blocked the entrance.

But I don't know if it was their actions that stimulated these evil creatures, or whether it was the yang energy emitted by the large crowds of living creatures that gathered together, attracting these evil creatures who were neither human nor ghostly.

They gathered more and more outside the barely repaired earthen enclosure, and even launched a non-stop attack on Xuansu City all night long.

It is also thanks to the sufficient strength of the Tang Army, which is more than enough to defend the small Tuweizi, but in order to repair the Tuweizi, everyone has exhausted their physical strength, and several times they were almost rushed to the wall by evil creatures who are good at climbing, and finally even the craftsmen of [Tiangongmen] had to go up.

Don't look at the number of evil creatures besieging the city, the scale is only in the thousands, far less than the strength of the 30,000 troops of the Tang Army.

However, these creatures are fatigued and difficult to kill, and long-range bows and arrows have no effect on them, so they can only be incapacitated by smashing them in close combat.

Therefore, everyone almost relied on manpower to block the wall, knocking down the evil creatures that were constantly climbing up, and barely prevented them from rushing into the city.

But just knocking them down won't kill them, and if it goes on like this, it will be consumed by them sooner or later.

Li Daozong decisively ordered the demolition of the residential buildings in Xuansu City, brought in timber as sasswood to smash down the wall, and poured fierce fire oil on it and set it on fire.

From the previous experience, these zombies are still afraid of fire, and they relied on fire to attack and burn all night, so they eliminated the thousands of evil creatures besieging the city, and grabbed a moment of respite for the Tang army.

As Li Daozong had predicted, the Goguryeo people and garrisons in Xuansu City were trapped in the city, unable to go out to collect firewood and grass, and could only demolish the houses to make fires for heating, so the buildings in the city were demolished a lot, and they were directly burned down after this night fire attack.

Although there were animal skin tents and coal stoves for heating carried by the Tang army, as well as coal carried by the army for heating.

But once the evil creatures return, there is no fuel for the fire, and there is no way to resist these undead monsters.

Therefore, after a short rest, Li Daozong divided half of his manpower, and took advantage of the scarcity of evil things around noon to use steam trucks to go to the nearby mountains and forests, cut down trees and transport them back for backup, and at the same time let the engineering team of [Tiangongmen] seize the time to strengthen and improve the city wall.

After all, the soil fence that was built was not very strong, and it was already damaged a lot under the scratching and climbing of the evil thing with sharp teeth and claws, and it was even looser and collapsed a lot after being baked by the fire overnight.

Because of the sudden collapse of the earthen enclosure, it was a trivial matter to sacrifice a little manpower in a hurry, and several times I was almost rushed in by evil creatures through the gap.

However, in the [Tiangongmen] engineering team, there are only a limited number of craftsmen who have mastered the earth-based spells, and their meager mana has been exhausted just by repairing the wall, and they are simply unable to build a stronger stone wall in a short period of time, so they can only be tired of constantly repairing the collapsed gaps and barely maintaining their defenses.

The Tang Army, which had barely held out after several days of fighting, was facing an increasingly serious crisis, and the scale of the evil things that had gathered from the dense fog was also getting bigger and bigger.

Just when they were about to hold on, another Tang army appeared outside Xuansu City, but it was Li Tao's troops who came to support but were also lost in the fog area.

Only then did the two armies meet to ease the predicament slightly, and the Tang army trapped in Xuansu City also surged to 100,000 at once!

is different from Li Daozong, who only brought 5,000 soldiers and 10,000 mercenaries.

Thinking that they had been attacked by the Goguryeo army, Yi Chang brought with him 20,000 soldiers, 20,000 mercenaries, and 30,000 logistics.

All the way along the traces left by Li Daozong's department, they chased them in the fog, but they were also attacked by evil things, and their losses were even more serious than those of Li Daozong's department.

Fortunately, after the two armies met, the manpower and material resources were alleviated, and at least they could take turns to defend and rest, plus there were ready-made earthen enclosures for defense, but they barely held on.

Moreover, the coming of Li Tao's ministry also injected a boost to the Li Daozong department, which was already about to despair, and the Tang Empire did not give up on them!

Since there is the first support army, there will inevitably be a second support army, and with the disappearance of Li Tao's troops who came to support, it will inevitably alarm the one in Zhongnan Mountain, and the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals of the [Wuji Gate] will rush to arrive, and these ghosts and ghosts will not be turned into ashes immediately?

It is precisely this belief that allowed the 100,000 Tang Army to persist in the small broken city of Xuansu City for half a month.

Even if there were more and more evil things attacking and getting stronger and stronger, they couldn't make their faith collapse, and they finally waited for Bai Yuqi to come.

And as soon as they came, they staged a mighty and shocking battle, which greatly encouraged the morale of the army, and the morale of the Tang army that broke out, and even the fog of negative energy was washed away a lot.

However, if they knew that because Bai Yuqi "ran away from home" and slipped to Yingzhou, and the closure of the mountain, the Tang Dynasty Hall could not contact him, the immortal, so that the rescue was delayed for so long before it was late, I don't know if they would complain about Bai Yuqi, an unreliable immortal?
