For three days, the army of the Changfeng Empire did not attack, so that the smoke of Sunset City dissipated faintly, but above the city tower, it was nervously preparing for war, everyone knew that the next time they attacked again, it would be a battle of life and death, when they were recuperating, the enemy was also recuperating from physical strength, He Lian fought a battle, more than 10,000 prisoners of war troops, and now there are only 5,000 left.

These five thousand people still need to maintain order in the city, Sunset City must be the city of the Changfeng Empire, there are a lot of private forces here, such as some families in the city, it is difficult to ensure that in the event of a big war, they will not jump out from behind to make trouble, so they need to be strictly vigilant, although they can all be killed, but once they are really done, it may inspire the hostility of the whole city, so they can only focus on prevention.

Of course, if these people really dare to make trouble, they will definitely be killed cleanly, in this kind of war between life and death, a small family in Sunset City is really insignificant.

In the past three days, Chu He has not been idle, every day to eat and drink to replenish physical strength, breathing internal strength, Chu He's body has recovered very well, taking advantage of the spare time, Chu He also has to inspect the entire Xichengchi, the ancient city, looking majestic and tall, but in the attack of the opponent's tens of thousands of troops, it is still possible to be broken through at any time, with the strength of their thousands of people, once they lose the protection of the city, the consequences do not need to be thought about and know.

The city is in the people, the city is ruined, this is not a joke, but the truest portrayal of them.

A few hurried footsteps came from behind, Chu He turned around, and saw Bu Chi, the fourth squad leader of the pioneer battalion, rushing over with an excited face, and before anyone got close, he had already shouted in a lost voice: "Chu Shuai, Chu Shuai, I found it, I found what you wanted!"

Chu He was overjoyed in his heart, and his figure flickered to meet him, holding Bu Chi's shoulder, and shouting, "Come and show me." ”

Bu Chi waved his hand, and the two soldiers behind him walked over briskly carrying a basket, and Chu He saw that there was a fresh chili pepper and some dogwood particles inside, which was exactly what Chu He asked him to look for.

Above the city, the defensive machinery was already stuffed, but Chu He knew that compared to the increasing number of Changfeng Empire troops outside the city, if they wanted to defend the city, they still needed more help, such as bows and arrows would run out, what should they do when the time came, and they would be smashed with stones? But in this Sunset City, stones are relatively rare, and there is yellow sand all around.

So this spicy plant, which has not yet been developed, has a great effect.

Chu He stretched out his hand, picked up a spicy seed, and a dogwood particle, put it to his mouth and bit it, it was spicy, and it was really suitable.

"Bu Chi, take people and collect these two things, the more the better. Chu He was also a little excited, and said: "Part of it is dried and ground into powder, and part of it is boiled into spicy soup." ”

Chili powder is a sharp weapon, and from top to bottom, if this is sprinkled, it will definitely be enough for the other party to eat a pot, but for now, it needs to be used at the most critical time.

Chili powder can be sprinkled, but chili water can't be splashed in a basin, that's too wasteful, so Chu He found someone to cut down the bamboo, and made the bamboo into a water spray gun.

On the fifth day, the sky was gloomy, but around Sunset City, there was a dull sound of war drums, which hit everyone's heart, and the beating intensified, Chu He stood on the protective platform, looking ahead, the military camp tent of the Changfeng Empire seemed to have been extended a lot.

"Chu Shuai, last night the enemy army had reinforcements arrived, and the number had reached 50,000. ”

Chu He nodded, glanced back at the guards around him, and said: "In the past few days, you have eaten and drunk, you should also work hard now, everyone must remember that the city is in the people, the city is ruined, we have no way out, only by guarding the sunset city can we live." ”

"What about 50,000 people, Ben Shuai personally sits in the town, even if it is 500,000 siege cities, Ben Shuai is not afraid, it's a big deal to die vigorously, the name of the Dragon God Continent, after thousands of years, on the continent, there will still be legends of the battle of Sunset City, in the legend, there will be the name of each of us, will you regret it?"

"No regrets!"

Chu He said with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for, go back to the defense area, unless you die, you are not allowed to take a step back." ”

These people are all members of the pioneer battalion, because the prisoners of war joined, these people have become the leaders of a team, each of them, has a defense area of more than ten meters, cooperate with each other, take care of each other, in order to better complete the task of defending the city.

Although there is a confrontation between Gaocheng, but now there are only more than 5,000 people left is too few, in the face of the attack of tens of thousands of Changfeng Empire's army, such a consumption, I am afraid that it will not be able to support a few days, Chu He thinks that he is strong, but he really didn't think that one person would destroy the other party's thousands of troops and horses, and now he can only hope to hold on, and he can really wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Great Xia Empire, otherwise these people will finally escape the fate of being captured, and they will all die in Sunset City.

"Please rest assured that Chu Shuai will not retreat until I fight to the death, and I will definitely not lose the prestige of Great Xia. ”

Morale is available, but Chu He still hopes that these hot-blooded men can survive and return to Great Xia to meet their relatives.

It's a pity, hope is one thing, reality is another, as the earth-shaking drum sounds, the army of the Changfeng Empire, which has rested for three days, began to attack the city again, this time, they are obviously prepared, and the offensive is getting stronger and stronger, tens of millions of arrows rain, no money comes from the sky, under the city tower, soldiers like ants, have poured in, long ladders to climb the city are erected, and the cruel siege battle is unfolding at this time.

Chu He saw that there were constantly people falling around him, but he didn't reach out to help, because in this kind of dense rain of arrows, what can survive depends on luck, many people are hiding in the wall battlements, still being shot by arrows, and falling to the ground wailing.

"Counterattack, counterattack -----" When these siege troops climbed the city wall more than halfway, the rain of arrows stopped, and the Chu River gave an order, and the empty city tower full of arrows immediately appeared Thousands of figures, and the battle to defend the city began immediately.

Archery, stone throwing, bayonet guns, all kinds of defense equipment, all used, screams, endless.

In a whole day, three times to attack the city, although one by one was repulsed, but all the soldiers, are exhausted, and even hungry, can only stuff dry food into their mouths, while leading the bow and arrows, the material consumption on the city tower is also more than half, according to Chu He's estimate, such a strong siege, they are only enough to defend for three days at most.

There were originally only 3,000 people in Xicheng, but after a day of bloody fighting, more than 200 people were injured, and more than half of them had lost their combat effectiveness and became wounded.

It was dark and the truce, and Chu He saw Fang Xue, who was tired and wounded.

"Brother Chu, how are you doing in Xicheng, is it okay?"

Chu He stepped forward, supported Fang Xue, and said, "Fortunately, it can still be supported at present, how about Beicheng?"

Lalo, who was beside him, immediately said: "Today, the enemy army focused on attacking Beicheng, Beicheng suffered heavy losses, there were more than 500 casualties, and the strength was greatly reduced. ”

"The most important thing is that the consumption of materials for defending the city is too great, and it will not take more than three days, and there will be no arrows to use. ”

Fang Xue's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "I was going to hold on for half a month, but I didn't expect that the reinforcements from the Changfeng Empire would come so quickly, and it might affect Brother Chu." ”

Chu He shook his head and said, "Brother Fang is serious, you guys, I support you with some weapons, maybe they can be of great use when it is critical." ”

Chu He led a few people into a large warehouse under the city tower, the big warehouse has been emptied, but in one corner, there are piles of stored chili water, all of which have been filled with bamboo knots, and they are quietly placed there, next to them are piled into sacks, and the chili peppers that are sun-dried and ground into powder are placed in them, which can be regarded as a secret weapon.

"What is this?" everyone was puzzled, Chu He beckoned, called Bu Chi to his side, and said: "Explain these things to Fang Duwei, and then send half of them to Beicheng, tomorrow the big battle, you will be guarding in Beicheng, at the critical moment, you can use these chili water and chili powder to solve the crisis." ”

"Yes, Chu Shuai. ”

"Duwei, these are chili water and chili powder, can not be lightly contaminated, otherwise the whole body is red and swollen, the pain is unbearable, if it enters the eyes of people, it is even more troublesome, immediately lose combat effectiveness, as long as there is a suitable trend, you can sprinkle down the tower, let the enemy hit, in order not to let the enemy know that there is preparation, so it can only be used at the most critical moment, can be used as a surprise soldier. ”

Fang Xue was startled and asked, "Is it really so powerful?"

Bu Chi opened a large vat, and all the boiled chili water was in the jar, Fang Xue and Lalo rushed forward, and before the person approached, they smelled a rather pungent smell, and immediately coughed unbearably.

"It's really pungent, it's indeed a sharp weapon, how does Brother Chu know such a secret?"

Chu He said: "Wandering the world, obtained by chance, now it is dangerous, I have to find a way, I hope it really works, by the way, these pepper water can be applied with sand, and the effect is also good." ”

Sunset City lacks everything, but there is no shortage of sand, soak the sand in chili pepper water, this spills, as long as one grain enters the eye, it will not be good.

Fang Blood was overjoyed and shouted: "Such a sharp weapon, it's too convenient, I'm worried about the material loss of the defense city, with these things, I will give the Changfeng Empire a surprise tomorrow." ”

Lalo also said: "Where did this thing come from, we need to prepare more, with these things, maybe we can really defend Sunset City and not destroy it." ”

Bu Chi said: "Captain Lalo, Chu Shuai has already asked me to wait and look around, all the mountains in the city have been searched, and this place is already all, so it still needs to be used sparingly." ”

Now that the war is going on, there is no time to go out of the city to look for it, but there are already a lot of these collections, and saving a little bit will definitely have a miraculous effect.

Fang Xue was not polite, let people take half of it, and left, one day of battle, everyone was very tired, and they needed to rest as soon as possible, and they didn't know if the Changfeng Empire would attack the city at night, they needed to be extremely careful, at this time, it took a lot of effort to even say a few more words.

Chu He slept in the bunker of the city tower, sharing the joys and sorrows with many soldiers, this sunset city was hot during the day, full of firepower, but at night it was cold and invaded the body, which made people very uncomfortable.

Chu He himself is fine, he must have a strong true qi body, and he can breathe twenty-four days a week, and he is exhausted, but these heroic soldiers are hard, and they need to rest well, so Chu He himself is on duty and guards at night, so that all the soldiers in Xicheng can sleep well.

I believe that when the dawn comes, another new round of siege battles will begin.

It's just that I don't know how many people will be able to sleep like this when the time comes, and then watch the scorching morning sun rise the next day.
