"Sortie. Faced with the rout of the Song army, the brigade commander Geng Biao ordered the city gate to be opened, and the soldiers of the two regiments that had been in ambush for a long time swarmed out.

The battle of thousands of people looked chaotic in the narrow valley, arrows flew, swords and guns were crossed, and countless figures fell, unable to stand up again. Life on the battlefield is so cheap, and the Grim Reaper is excited to harvest life.

The Song army, which had lost its courage, did not resist for long, and the birds and beasts scattered, and the soldiers of Shangguancheng followed and killed, and the battlefield turned into a massacre. Although occasionally the leader of the Song army led a small part of the people to counterattack, causing some casualties to the army in Shangguancheng, they were soon drowned in the wave.

Few of the Song troops who attacked with 5,000 escaped. The battlefield is littered with floating corpses.

"Actually, the enemy has been defeated, so there is no need to pursue," Mu Tianxiang watched the pursuing troops also have casualties from time to time, and even several monks of the team were caught off guard by the sudden counterattack of the Song army, and were surrounded and killed on the spot, distressed.

"Foresight and blood, we are a bit lucky to win today, and the days ahead will be very difficult, and soldiers who have not really fought on the battlefield will not be able to persevere. Geng Biao said indiscriminately. For the cruelty of the general, it is vividly displayed at this moment.

Mu Tianxiang used to be a centurion in the army, and there is still a gap in the grasp and cognition of the war situation, and the war does not allow the existence of any women's benevolence, and has already trained an iron heart for the generals to face life and death, and it can be said that they will do whatever it takes to win.

The Song army seemed to have been defeated, and hastily withdrew its troops and returned, and did not launch any attack again this afternoon.

"Today we have achieved a hard-won victory, although it is inseparable from the three armies and the brave killing of the enemy, but it is also undeniable that the bed crossbow plays a decisive role in it. Mu Tianxiang said slowly.

"Although weapons play a great role in the war, it is the human factor that determines the victory in the war, and we have been attacked by the enemy several times today. The situation was very critical for a time. It shows that there is still a gap between our soldiers, mainly because our cooperation in peacetime training has not been completely achieved. ”

"Everyone should be able to see that with good cooperation, the confrontation between our three or four ordinary warriors and the enemy Yellow-level monks will not be inferior, and we can even kill each other. War does not tolerate any fluke or sloppiness. ”

"Tomorrow the defense of the city will be carried out by the Second Army, and a new army will be tempered in the battle of life and death as soon as possible. Although the enemy's attack is blocked, they will not give up, and the bloodthirsty gate will not allow them to give up, without the forging of blood and fire, they will not be able to become a lion in a hundred battles. Mu Tianxiang concluded.

At the same time, in the big tent of the Song army, this contact battle was also being discussed, and the losses of ordinary soldiers did not care, but a group of monks led by Li Shen were easily killed by mysterious weapons, and they were still deeply frightened.

In ordinary wars, the battle loss rate of monks is not high, they can't fight, they can still run, and it is not easy for ordinary soldiers to keep monks, that is, the confrontation between monks, in order to prevent the opponent's dog from jumping over the wall and fighting back to the death, there will always be room for the dominant monk to start.

Although the monks led by Li Shen are only Xuan-level monks, this is the main body of the monks in the army, and until the battle of destroying the country, the monks of Tianji will not participate, and the monks of the prefecture-level will often not rush to the front line, and the Xuan-level is the top combat power in the army.

Today, Li Shen was killed, which means that most of the monks in this army are not safe. And it's just because of the advent of a weapon.

"Commander, are we holding off the attack......

"Chen Shuai, we should report to the Bloodthirsty Gate and see what can be done......"

"Yes, Marshal, we should ask for reinforcements......"

Looking at the monks who were talking about it below, Chen Mu knew that these people were frightened. Chen Mu himself did not join the sect, all today's achievements are won step by step from the army, and the hard work and hardships paid can be known by a few people, and they are very unaccustomed to the monks who are arrogant in the army in peacetime, but the overall situation is like this, and Chen Mu is powerless to resist.

"Today's incident happened quite suddenly," Chen Mu waved his hand to stop the discussion of the people below and said: "Shangguan Cheng's determination to resist was beyond everyone's expectations, the decisive battle location chosen was also very interesting, and the power of the new weapon was also very great. ”

"But this doesn't mean anything, Shangguancheng's army is deep in danger, and it is impossible to obtain reinforcements, and our reinforcements are endless. The new weapons are very powerful, but I think they are also flawed, firstly, they are not accurate enough and can only be fired in a concentrated manner, secondly, I think the speed of firing should be relatively slow compared to bows and arrows, and thirdly, the number should not be very large. ”

Chen Mu is still very proficient in the essence of war, and from the little details, he can talk about the shortcomings of the bed crossbow.

"I'm not worried about the enemy's weapons, in today's battle, I found that the army in Shangguancheng is very careful to cooperate, this should be specially trained, our seven or eight soldiers, facing the enemy's two or three soldiers, will not have an advantage, and will even be defeated. That's what we should be worried about. Chen Mu said.

"Tonight, let the craftsmen assemble the catapults, and tomorrow we will continue the attack, without giving the enemy a chance to breathe, and exhaust them to death. Chen Mu ordered loudly.

The early summer sun is already a little hot. But it couldn't suppress the evil qi accumulated on the battlefield in this valley at all, and the yin wind gusted.

The Song army, carrying ladders, wooden poles, and pushing crashing cars, lined up in a loose formation and quickly approached the city wall. The monks, who took advantage of the cover of the crowd, followed quickly.

When the team was 200 feet above the wall, it was attacked by bows and arrows and javelins at the head of the city, and there were casualties, but compared to the vast attacking troops, this casualty was negligible. Today, Chen Mu made a heavy hand, regardless of the narrowness of the canyon, and sent tens of thousands of attack troops at one time.

The elite of the army and the monks climbed the ladder carried by their companions, and some of the monks jumped directly to the top of the city with bamboo poles.

The five-zhang high city wall cannot be climbed directly, but with the help of a ladder or bamboo pole, it can be climbed in a blink of an eye.

Arrows flew through the air, and the occasional bed crossbow tore through the formation, but it was not much of a threat to the monks who were scattered and hiding in the crowd.

Huge trebuchets hurled huge stones at the city walls, making a terrifying loud noise between the whistlings. From time to time, soldiers were smashed into a mist of blood, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Today it was a brigade of the Second Army that was defending, and a battalion on the city wall did not panic in the face of casualties, and mechanically counterattacked and evaded.

After paying a huge number of casualties, the Song army finally stormed the city walls.

Several Song soldiers, led by the monks, jumped onto the city like wolves, and what was waiting for them was the soldiers of the fearless Shangguan City.

"Rush"

The soldiers of Shangguan City raised their shields, raised their swords and guns at the same time, and pushed them up without giving way, and when the two sides collided, there was a loud bang, and some people seemed to be hit by a running vehicle, spitting blood and turning backwards, and falling down the city wall.

At this time, those who can climb the city wall are the elite of the army, cowardice and cowardice do not exist, and they are all murderous people who have survived a hundred battles. In the face of the attack, their eyes glowed with blood and fanaticism. "Whoa......" howled and pounced.

Waiting for them were the elite soldiers of the Second Army of Shangguan City, who would not retreat when they saw the demonic beast.

The same shout burst out on the city wall, and the Song army that rushed to the head of the city was hit head-on, often killing the monks in all directions, and in the face of the organized battle team of the Shangguan City soldiers, they were forced to hurry for a while, and the fight was very aggrieved, and from time to time someone was chopped by the long knife in the head or cut off the head, and the spear that was constantly pierced brought up a puff of blood mist. From time to time, the waving shield knocked people down the walls......

Where the soldiers on both sides were engaged, a blinding line of blood appeared. The fighting was so brutal.

The first batch of Song troops was engulfed in the blink of an eye. The second group quickly and ferociously climbed the city wall, and then the third group ......

"On the second battalion" killed the red-eyed brigade commander Li Hao's loud order.

The personnel quickly dissipated and were quickly replenished, and the battle situation was so stalemate, the city wall became a meat grinder, a scene of Shura hell.

As the battle continued, the well-trained Shangguancheng soldiers gradually gained the upper hand, and the numerical superiority of the Song army did not manifest itself due to the narrowness of the city walls and territory.

With the rapid attrition of these groups of people, the Song army besieging the city began to be confused and timid, and the timid even began to retreat, and the soldiers of Shangguan City, who were like a rainbow, became more and more proficient, and the Song army in the city could not even stand.

The soldiers of Shangguan City were murderous and kept killing this Song army.

The fierce fighting lasted for half an hour, and the huge casualties finally crushed the Song army, and I don't know who took the lead, and the swarming Song army began to retreat quickly.

"That's it, consume them," Chen Mu was not disappointed in failure.

The monks of the Song army saw that although today's battle was cruel, the casualties of the monks were not large, and their depressed momentum began to rise.

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for two days, and the Song army lost nearly 20,000 of more than 50,000 people, and the soldiers of Shangguan City who defended it also lost nearly 5,000 people, and more than one brigade of men was wiped out.

The most important thing is that although the arrows are controlled as much as possible, the cost is still huge.

On the third day, the 100,000-strong army reinforced by the Song army arrived. Mu Tianxiang knew that the battle would be even more difficult in the future, and the broken first city wall did not know if it could withstand several enemy attacks.

Failed, can't be stopped, these people have to die, there is no luck, the soldiers are also very tired, get through it, it is an elite soldier, can't survive, can only die, the truth is so cruel.
