After ending the nourishic dialogue with Shangguan Qingyun, Mu Tianxiang and all the military commanders above the battalion came to the big tent of the Chinese army to arrange the battle of life and death that was about to start below.

"We are about to face a battle of life and death, it is inevitable, put away your cowardice, cowardice and mercy from now on, all this is useless, this is a dead land, a grave that I have chosen for everyone, only the victor will be able to climb out. ”

"We trained hard for half a year, we lost countless brothers, for what, everything is for today, and now is the time to test us. This is the game of the brave. Guys, don't try to run, don't think about what will happen if you can't fight, this time, either win or die here. ”

"This time, the two sons and young ladies and the sons of the elders and generals are all here, and the determination of the city lord is very great. Neither flight nor surrender is an option for us. If we fail, the enemy's reinforcements will continue to flow into our homes, and our loved ones will die without a place to bury. Everyone has seen the fate of Dark City. ”

"There are a lot of inequalities in this world, but there is one thing that is the same, and that is life, and everyone has only one. It doesn't matter if you're an ordinary person or a low-level monk, to die is to die. We now have our lives on the table, and if the enemy wants to take them, they have to exchange them for their lives. ”

"Some people may say that there are some special existences in this world, or that the masters of the Heavenly Pole will have some special means, these are not things that we consider, or even come into contact with, we are talking about enemies like us, and they will not be more special than us. ”

"Do we have any hope of victory, yes, we have gone through hard training, the original unkillable monsters have been killed, and the masters who need to be looked up to have stepped under our feet, as long as we unite as one, no matter how big the difficulties are, we will overcome them together......"

......

Mu Tianxiang constantly explained to the people below the importance and hardship and cruelty of this battle, that is, everyone should know in their hearts and not easily collapse, and at the same time emphasize the importance of the team and the faint hope.

"I just said a lot, I hope everyone will remember and publicize it to the soldiers below," Mu Tianxiang paused and said: "We are facing an enemy of 50,000 this time, and if we defeat it, we may attract 100,000 or a million enemy troops, and the enemy's reinforcements are endless, but it's nothing, we will kill as many as we come, and kill them until they are afraid." Don't dare to come again. ”

"We only have 60,000 troops, there are no reinforcements for the time being, and if we die, we will have one less, and we can't put all the troops on the front line, and we can't put them away. My plan is to defend in batches with brigades as units, and the specific way to do it will be arranged by the army commanders. Mu Tianxiang said: "Do you have the confidence to hold on for two months!"

"Yes!" shouted in unison.

After simply assigning the task of sticking to the task, Mu Tianxiang followed the soldiers of the first division and the first brigade of the first army to the first city wall again, the first brigade is now the brigade with the highest ratio of monks in the whole group, reaching 50%, no matter whether the first battle is won or lost, it must be morale, this is the consensus of the whole group army.

"Brigade Commander Geng, how did you arrange it?" Mu Tianxiang asked Geng Biao, the brigade commander of the First Brigade.

Geng Biao's eyebrows are steady, his appearance is rough, his body is like an iron tower, the skin of his hands is rough, and his tiger's mouth is covered with calluses, which is the traces left by cruel training and long-term fighting.

"There is at most one battalion on the city wall, too much, but it is easy to mess, and it will cause unnecessary casualties, I let the three battalions of a regiment take turns to defend, and the remaining two regiments I ambush at the gate of the city, and when the enemy attack is not much, I am ready to go out and charge for a while, and the blind defense is very demoralizing. Geng Biao said.

"Very good, the combination of attack and defense can more effectively destroy the enemy, but this degree must be mastered, do not take risks easily, the attacking troops should rely on the city wall, do not attack too far, lest the troops cannot be recovered for a while, and will be used by the enemy. Mu Tianxiang admonished. On the basis of defense, it is very important to constantly carry out some local counterattacks, which can improve morale on the one hand, and deter the enemy army on the other hand. Sticking to it, sticking to it, blindly sticking to it, often guarding to death.

Although a person like Geng Biao, who has been in battle for a long time, lacks some theory, he has actual combat experience and grasps battlefield opportunities very sophisticatedly, and he has gone through countless tests of life and death, and his sense of smell on the battlefield is very sensitive. Although the training of the generals of the Second Army was very difficult, there was still a lot lacking in these aspects.

At noon, the enemy troops, who had completed their encampment, finally walked out of the camp.

The crowd poured all over the mountains, the mighty army of 50,000 flooded everything that could be seen in the field of vision, and in the valley, the parallel military columns stretched for hundreds of feet, and the battle flags were unfurled, covering the sky and the sun, shocking the heart.

"Which country's army is this?" asked Mu Tianxiang.

"Look at the battle flag, it should be the Chen Mu army of the Song Kingdom. The experienced Geng Biao said.

"Chen Mu Legion, do you understand?" Mu Tianxiang had never been in contact with the army of the Song State before, and he had no way of knowing the main generals.

"I don't know very well, I just know that he is a veteran, and his combat style is very calm. Geng Biao thought for a while and said.

Mu Tianxiang nodded, stopped talking, and carefully observed the enemy army.

The army of the Song State stabilized its formation at a distance of 500 zhang from the city wall.

"Chen Shuai, you said that the army of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, what is the use of building such a city wall without talismans," After stabilizing the formation, a general asked Chen Mu.

"It's a little strange, you know that the city lord's army is on the other side," asked Chen Mu, who was white-headed.

"Gu Di Tanma said that it should be the army of Shangguan City," said the general just now.

"No matter whose army it is, it is simply wishful thinking to stop us with a wall without a large protective array. The surrounding generals and monks said loudly.

"There is nothing wrong with being careful, we, as the vanguard, must be cautious. Chen Mu said.

"Chen Shuai gave me 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the last general will go to test it first,"

"My 3,000 men and horses will sweep away the enemy. ”

......

The generals below shouted uninhibitedly for their lives. He didn't pay attention to the army of Shangguan City in front of him.

The army of Fengyun City is facing the siege of the army of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and it is already precarious, since the bloodthirsty gate has ordered the rescue, it is here to fight, although there is always a trace of uneasiness in his heart. The Bloodthirsty Gate didn't have much time left for Chen Mu. There is no room for delay.

"General Li Shen, you lead five thousand troops, test it first, remember, don't rush forward. After a slight hesitation, Chen Mu ordered.

"Charge me!" Li Shen pulled out the long knife at his waist and shouted loudly with a wave of his big hand.

"The enemy army is three hundred feet,"

"The enemy army is two hundred feet, and the archers are ready. ”

"The enemy is a hundred feet, and the archers are throwing," shouted the observer,

Whoosh ...... A sky full of arrows staggered towards the enemy.

Dapeng's blood splattered out with minced meat, and the war horse screamed and neighed. Stumbling and falling like a mountain, the Song soldiers on the horse kept falling off their horses and were trampled into pulp by the galloping war horses. In fact, there were not many dead and wounded, only about twenty or thirty, but the scene of blood crashing was still very bloody.

"Stop shooting, it's just a temptation from the enemy," Geng Biao shouted loudly.

Sure enough, when the attack was fifty zhang away from the city wall, the Song army returned to the main camp with horses.

"General Li, there are not many troops in Shangguan City on the city wall, it is estimated that it is less than five hundred. The young general in the lead said.

"Okay, dismount, follow General Ben to attack the city!" Li Shen ordered loudly,

The Song army carried ladders and other siege equipment and slowly pressed towards the city wall.

"The bed crossbow is not allowed to be used without an order," Geng Biao shouted loudly.

The troops attacking the Song army were also mainly ordinary soldiers, and the monks gathered behind the battle to watch, looking for a breakthrough.

The sound of shouting and killing was like thunder, resounding throughout the battlefield. The soldiers of the Song army braved the rain of arrows regardless of the casualties, and quickly rushed to the city, erected a cloud ladder, and the ants attached to it, and the soldiers of Shangguan City pushed huge stones or rolling logs to the city.

At this moment, life is so cheap, Mu Tianxiang stood on the second city wall, observing all this calmly. The heart is like an ancient well. How Geng Biao commanded, Mu Tianxiang did not intervene, he wanted to come to a veteran of the battlefield for a long time, and this scene could still be dealt with.

The soldiers desperately assassinated the Song army that attacked the city wall, and the tragic battle lasted for half an hour, and dozens of Song soldiers had already attacked one of the city walls. The soldiers defending the city kept retreating in the fighting, and the blood stained the walls red.

"On the second battalion," Geng Biao said with a wave of his hand.

The soldiers of the second battalion, who had been recuperating for a long time, rushed to the city wall, quickly stabilized the battle situation, and annihilated the Song army that attacked the city wall.

"Shangguan Cheng has replenished troops," said Li Shen, who had been observing for a long time.

"General Li, the soldiers in Shangguan City are not very good, they were almost broken just now. ”

"Yes, General Lee, it's time for us to get on," said the monks around him.

"Wait, let them consume a little longer, and our attack will be finalized. Li Shen said.

It lasted for another half an hour, and the huge casualties and exhaustion caused the soldiers of Shangguan City to resist very messily, and the weak city defense was shaky, and their lives hung by a thread, as if they were about to collapse at any time.

"Brigade Commander Geng, the monks of the Song army have come up. The observation post said loudly.

"Okay, it's them who are waiting, order the bed crossbow to prepare," Geng Biao shouted excitedly.

Li Shen finally realized that the opportunity had come, and the resistance of the soldiers in Shangguan City began to panic, and with a little more strength, he could completely defeat the defenders of Shangguan City. Lead the monk to the city wall at a rapid pace. In order to resist the threat of bows and arrows, all the monks hurriedly gathered in a group, leaning on each other and charging quickly.

"Put!" When the monk was less than a hundred feet away from the city wall, he concentrated fifty bed crossbows, aimed at the target and fired them at the same time.

Puff puff......

Dense arrows rushed towards the monks led by Li Shen like lightning. Li Shen and the others didn't even have time to defend, so they were easily broken through the defense, and the huge and sharp arrows penetrated the shield, pushing the body back and forth until it tore through every body and turned into a blood mist.

The bright red blood mist is so poignant, it turns out that the protagonist on the battlefield, the monk who wants to decide the victory or defeat with one blow, was wiped out without even a bubble. The noisy battlefield quickly and strangely fell silent.

Song Jun was completely stunned. In the cheers of the soldiers of Shangguan City, they retreated in embarrassment.
