It's a pity that what Li Mu and the others didn't expect was that two days later, reinforcements came.

However, it was not the reinforcements of Liang County, but the reinforcements of the Mongols with another 20,000 cavalry infantry.

The enemy army totaled 25,000 people, more than ten times the defenders of Liang County, and there were no scruples at the moment, so they divided their troops into four routes and attacked Liang County.

Even the enemy's newly arrived 20,000 cavalry infantry only brought a small number of ladders and limited siege equipment. But a few days ago, the Mongols who were secretly attacked by Liang County and held back their anger, at this time, everyone scrambled to be the first, one after another, and they killed one by one with a round shield and a short knife.

Fortunately, on the city tower, Li Mu and Wang Jian, the two of them took the lead, like two sharp spearheads, with the mandarin duck array behind them, constantly killing and repelling the Mongols who climbed the city tower.

However, the Mongols eat more cattle and sheep, are tall and large, and their physical fitness is far above the defenders of Liang County.

Seeing that on the north tower, more and more enemies rushed up, their own soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and Sancao, the commander of Liang County, Jiang Hai, also lost his life.

Li Mu immediately stopped leaving his hands, used all his strength, and Ling Bo stepped out in small steps, interspersing back and forth on the city tower like a gallop. With a spear in his right hand and a short knife in his left hand, wherever Li Mu passed, countless Tartar dog heads flew into the sky.

The courage was extraordinary, and he cleared the enemy troops on the city tower in an instant.

Perhaps inspired by the momentum of Li Mutianshen's descent to the earth, the defenders of Liang County, who had always been afraid of war, also stimulated the blood in their chests, and under the leadership of Jiang Hai and Wang Jian, they killed and took back the city for a while.

But after all, there were too few defenders in Liang County, and it was useless to seize the city for a while, and Li Mu cut down the enemies around him. While quickly running to Jiang Hai's side. With an anxious expression, he asked, "Your Excellency." If it doesn't go on like this, sooner or later the city will be broken. Are you ready for the previous arrangement? ”

In just one morning, more than half of the 2,000 defenders of Liangxian County were lost, and the warrior Sancao was also killed in the melee. Jiang Hai, who had already killed the red-eyed people, stared at the dense Mongols under the city, and shouted with tears in his eyes:

"Brother, it was flipped with oil. It's all ready as you say. Let's do it now, and give those dogs a hard time, so as to avenge the brothers in the city. ”

Repeatedly climbed to the top of the city, but they were driven down by the enemy defenders, and the fierce battle on the city tower was clearly seen by the vanguard officer Wu Mi Nahai, who was three hundred paces away from the city.

I didn't expect a small Liang County to be so difficult to beat. In particular, one of the defenders held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, and opened a bow left and right. He has repeatedly knocked his own warriors out of the city.

But the battle-hardened Umi Clan Nahai, although he admires the bravery of the other party. But I don't pay much attention to it. In front of thousands of troops, even if personal martial arts are strong, the strength will eventually be exhausted. At that time, any Mongolian soldier could slash the other party.

Attack three times, and if you can't take it, attack five times; Attack five times, and if you can't take it, you will attack ten times.

Anyway, the Mongolian warriors are numerous and not afraid of death, so it is only a matter of time before they capture Liang County. Umishi Nahai, who was in the rear overseer, was about to return to the camp to rest when suddenly a heartbreaking, painful shout came from the front.

Umi Nahai turned his head and saw that even if their Mongol warriors had an iron will, they were not shocked by the hellish scene in front of them.

Look at the head of Naliang County, countless cotton clothes and bedding wrapped in fire oil and burning fire were thrown off the city, or wrapped around the ladder, or directly covered the heads of the Mongolian warriors. Coupled with the greeting of the rockets of the defenders of Liang County in Chengtou, the fire was added, and the Mongolian soldiers under the city were suddenly plunged into a boundless sea of fire.

The flames burned their bodies, and the screams that erupted before the countless Mongol soldiers burned to death made the morale of the besiegers who had no ladders under the city be discharged, and they all involuntarily began to turn around and flee.

Seeing that the overseer's murder could not stop the fleeing soldiers, the Umi clan Nahai saw that the morale of the Wumi clan had plummeted today, so he had to temporarily withdraw his troops and fight again in the coming day.

After a big battle, Liang County's vitality was greatly damaged, even if he killed at least five or six thousand enemies, but his own defenders lost most of them, and those who were still alive were all wounded.

Trapped in the dead city, morale is low, if it continues to deteriorate like this, before the Mongols attack the city, there will be chaos in the city first.

His subordinates Sancao was killed, and there was no one to discuss, and the county lieutenant Jiang Hai could only find Li Mu at this time and asked: "Brother, I counted the casualties just now, and in just one morning, we lost 1,200 people, and there are only 800 soldiers left in the city." And all of them are wounded, morale is low, if the Tartars attack the city again, what should we do? ”

The Mongols at their peak were really brave and strong, and this was still defending the city or when the Song army occupied the advantageous position, and the losses were so large.

If he fought in the plains, Li Mu didn't dare to imagine how strong the Mongolian iron cavalry would be.

The task of reversing the situation is really not a joke.

However, Li Mu, who has traveled too many worlds and seen all scenes, also has his considerations in his chest, thought about it for a while, and said, "My lord, don't panic." The casualties of the defenders in the city are only known to you, and the enemy outside the city does not know. We must not mess up and let the other side take advantage of the situation.

All the people who were still in the city, whether they were rich and gentry, or ordinary county citizens, all men, over fifteen years old and under fifty years old, came up to the city to assist in the defense. The peasant women of the city came out to carry the garrison supplies. In today's situation, we don't have to scruples, the whole county, men, women and children, must work together to defend their homes.

Once the city is broken, according to the habits of the Mongols, they will definitely slaughter the city with revenge, and it is useless to beg for mercy. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to fight back when you die, and only when you come to Luzhou to help, can you have a glimmer of life. ”

Maybe it was because it was rare to have Li Mu as the backbone under the panic of everyone, or maybe it was Li Mu's prestige before, and the county governor Jianghai listened to Li Mu's opinion, and immediately did what Li Mu ordered.

Regardless of whether the city is willing or not, they are forcibly pulled out to defend the city, and those who dare not follow the chaos will be directly beheaded by Liwei. Maybe the county magistrate has been imprisoned, and the crime of forcing the county people to defend the city is nothing. Jiang Hai simply intensified his efforts, forcibly demolished the people's houses to make rolling wood and stones, and forcibly pulled the horses of the wealthy gentry for military use.

Under the city are the fierce Mongols, Jiang Hai is so evil, Li Mu has no choice but to turn a blind eye, in order to resist the Mongols, he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

But the strange thing is that for three days in a row, the Mongols under the city did not attack the city again, but besieged the city on all sides, besieged but did not fight, I don't know what strange thing they were doing.

Standing at the head of the city with Li Mu, overlooking the movements of the enemy army from afar, Jiang Hai, who had been under tremendous pressure for the past three days, sighed physically and mentally exhausted: "It's really a strange thing, is there less and less enemy troops outside the city, although the flag has not changed much, but the ranks are sparsely pulled, isn't it bluffing?" ”

The enemy army under the city neither attacked the city nor retreated for three consecutive days, and Li Mu, who had long felt that there was a problem, suddenly realized when he heard Jiang Hai say the same: "Oh no, they bypassed our Liang County and went straight to Luzhou." (To be continued.) )
