Chapter 536: The Painful Price (Part II)

The city wall that stretches for more than ten miles, this is not counting the col on the side of the Hecha tribe, which can lead to Lingyue Mountain, with only a few arrow towers, relying on the dangerous terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, Yu Li will take the people and horses to guard here, and once this place is guarded by her in-laws, she will be able to enter Lingyue Mountain directly!

The real offensive and defensive battle has begun, but it does not occupy an absolute advantage as Jialanga imagined, although they have an advantage in numbers, but the soldiers on the city wall are full of momentum, and the various equipment to defend the city is quite sufficient.

There is no shortage of all kinds of traditional defensive equipment and materials, such as rolling logs, boulders, hot oil, gold water, various bows and crossbows, and long-range catapults, which can be regarded as opening Zhu Xiaobao's eyes and gaining knowledge. And Zhu Xiaobao also personally participated in the defense, helping to throw rolling wood and splashing oil, if it weren't for the old apprentice guarding him all the time, he would have been shot by the flying arrows!

Zhu Xiaobao was tired and sweaty, only to find that this thing was more tiring than face-to-face fighting, selling strength, relying on courage, and winning was morale! Those soldiers saw that King Chitose was also so desperate, and they were all in high spirits, desperately fighting the attacking enemy!

In an hour's time, she repelled the three attacks of Jialanga's main force, and Jialanga's losses were heavy, she didn't expect the soldiers on the city wall to be so desperate, and Lingyue went to the city wall and was not the same as before, the boulder of the catapult smashed up, there was no cracking and shattering like before, just smashed some gravel, and the entire city wall seemed to be poured as a whole.

Of course, this was the first time that Jialanga had encountered it, because the walls of Lingyue Mountain were mixed with cement, yellow sand, and gravel, enclosed with formwork, and then poured. It is indeed a whole thick and solid concrete city wall, and it is almost necessary to add steel bars to it! At the beginning, Zhu Xiaobao wanted to add steel bars, but the cost was too high, and Duanmuqi did not agree, in his opinion, this was enough! Now it turns out that Duanmu Qi is right, and the damage caused by this attack on the opposite side is very limited......

"King Chitose! Brother-in-law! Come and sit down for a while and take a break! You don't need to do these things yourself, you are there, and those soldiers have some scruples and want to protect you! Come on, come on, sit down and rest for a while! Duanmuqi greeted Zhu Xiaobao, and the two sat down with their backs against the city wall, drinking water and lighting a cigar at the same time! The old apprentice rejected Duanmuqi's cigar, took out his own cigarette pot and filled it with shredded tobacco, and began to enjoy it beautifully!

"Come, come, come! In the next game of chess, when we finish playing a game of chess, it is estimated that Jialanga should also withdraw his troops! Duanmuqi also let the people put the chessboard on the table, and started playing chess on the city wall very calmly! The old apprentice squatted to the side with great interest and began to watch the battle! Sometimes he prefers to watch Zhu Xiaobao play chess, every time he sees Duanmuqi being killed, the old apprentice is very comfortable----- fortunately, the person sitting there is not me!"

"How do you know that Garanga is withdrawing? It's only noon, so at least it will be dark until dark, right? Zhu Xiaobao asked a little surprised.

"Huh! I have already seen Chi Fen and his people rebelling just now, and there is also smoke rising from the base camp of Jialanga, it is estimated that Chi Fen and his hands and feet did it! According to the information I gathered, after Chi Fen and his small tribes defected to Jialanga's camp, they didn't have a good time! Bullied! And the last time the fire bull was also theirs! It's a huge loss! Duanmuqi said with the old god there.

"The war needs it, and it is normal to requisition their fire oxen! Don't you just turn back on this little thing, right? I also asked Hachitu to donate 5,000 head of cattle! Zhu Xiaobao put on the chess pieces and asked a little puzzled.

"Huh! Fire cattle are requisitionable, but what about women? I got the news that their women were also forcibly taken away by those big tribal strongmen and ravaged! And Jialanga is also open-eyed and closed, and there is no severe punishment, which makes honest people like Chi Fen unbearable! If you want to fight hard, it will become very scary! Duanmu Qi said as he took it for granted that the head cannon had been erected, and he knew that he couldn't go down to Zhu Xiaobao, so he would go first every time!

"Hmmm! I said, why did Mu Xiong's men and horses suddenly mess up, it turned out that Chi Fen and they were in a rebellion! But what's going on with those two giants, why do I see that they seem to be following Jumei, which is also what you expected? "What Zhu Xiaobao doesn't understand the most is how these two giants can also rebel!

"Huh! What's this...... I don't know, and I still don't understand what's going on! It stands to reason that these two are not men, so they shouldn't have any special thoughts about the great beauty, right? So it's really weird! Duanmu Qi suddenly scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, he was also puzzled by this matter!

"What words! Jumei doesn't understand the affairs of men and women at all, she must have recovered these two monsters for another reason, I guess it was her golden stone bow that scared the two monsters, so she disarmed and surrendered! Zhu Xiaobao's analysis seems to make more sense!

At this time, the men and horses of Garanga were once again repulsed and retreated. But Jialanga did not immediately organize the next attack, but was extremely angry to listen to the report of the Pegasus under his command, the base camp where Chifen's people rebelled, and several other small tribes also moved with their families, driving cattle and sheep in the direction of the royal court! The billowing smoke was emitted by the fire of thousands of tents of the Mutu tribe! It's bigger than when the granary was burned!

"Damn! These bastards are more than successful and more defeated

! I should have punished them a long time ago! Jialanga gritted her teeth and scolded, she regretted it now, she really shouldn't have indulged these people from the Mutu tribe, and finally forced an honest person like Chi Fen to rebel!

"Huh! I already knew that Kixiong was going to cause trouble! It's too much, I bullied the women of the Chi Fen tribe over and over again, and the day before yesterday it was said that I raped Chi Fen's two wives! This time the responsibility for the unfavorable siege lies entirely with Kio! The red copper of the Chihu tribe next to him did not forget to fall into the well, and said a little gloatingly, in fact, they also wanted to do bad things, but they didn't dare to fight with Muxiong, so they didn't succeed!

"Shut up! You are not a good thing, didn't Chi Fen's daughter also be snatched away by you? Jialanga looked at the copper with disdain and scolded.

"Hey! Chitose, you can wronged me, I married his daughter as a concubine, and his daughter has now fled with those tribes, I didn't embarrass her at all......" Chi Tong immediately made a very aggrieved expression, in fact, his subordinates did not chase, but saw those red-eyed Chi Fen's clansmen, and did not dare to chase anymore! Red Copper also received the report, but he didn't care about such a girl, it was just that, and he didn't plan to stay by his side after playing. It's just right to escape now, and it's a little troublesome to save when you go back!

At this moment, his subordinates came to report again: "King Ming's men and horses have retreated!" ”

"What? How can they do that? Without even saying hello, he retreated? When Jialanga heard this, she shouted even more angrily.

"Princess Ming said, please take care of the affairs of the base camp first, otherwise you won't even have the momentum to fight, and this kind of battle won't be fought!" The people under him still honestly repeated Princess Ming's words as they were.

"Withdraw your troops! Withdraw troops! Go back and get in order! Don't fight today! Garanga exclaimed in distraught.

She also knew that the morale was low now, everyone was talking about it, and those people from the Mutu tribe were even more absent-minded, thinking about the situation of their own people! How to fight this battle! Looking back at Lingyue Mountain's impregnable defense, Jialanga felt that it was a wrong decision to join forces with King Ming this time. Lingyue Mountain's strength far exceeded her expectations!

Seeing that Jialanga's large army began to retreat, Duanmuqi did not send people to chase and kill, but asked Jialanga's people to pull away those corpses and wounded soldiers, otherwise it would stink in less than three days on such a hot day!

Back at the station, Garanga realized that the consequences were worse than she thought. The Mutu tribe's garrison was almost burned down, the wounded soldiers were killed or burned to death, and the less wounded horses were ridden away. The food, wine and meat of the Mutu tribe were also destroyed, and the only remaining hundreds of tents were those who were seriously wounded, but were not killed. And even those slaves and miscellaneous servants are not safe!

Not to mention that Lao San Mu Biao's tent was actually intact, but Mu Xiong walked in and immediately screamed angrily and fainted! It turned out that his third brother Mu Biao had his arms cut off, his lower body was chopped off, only two blood holes were left in his eyes, his nose was also cut off, and he was still humming weakly in his mouth: "Spare me, I don't dare anymore, I will never touch your women again......"

When Jialanga rushed over and saw this tragic image, he also trembled in his heart, what a resentment this is, to do such a thing! But thinking about the humiliation and devastation endured by those people of Chifen's tribe, it can be regarded as self-inflicted! The red copper who came in with him was also trembling in his heart, fortunately he didn't fight for the Mutu tribe, otherwise it would probably be himself who was lying here now!

Mu Kui also watched silently in the tent, since he cast the 'Crit Nine Thorns' in Xiyuan City, he was let go by the old apprentice, and after he came back, he recuperated in Jialanga's camp to recover, he didn't want to stay in his tribe, it was because he couldn't get used to the bullying and atrocities of Mu Xiong and those clansmen, so he survived! You must know that his current martial arts may not even be able to beat a first-level martial artist.

"Come on, prepare the people, I'm going to kill them all!" Mu Xiong woke up at this time and roared angrily.

Although the old, weak, sick and disabled people of Chi Fen also died, there were still 2,000 people riding horses and heading north! It is very likely that they are chasing after several other tribes and going to the royal court together!

"Stop! What's the use of you going now? There are more than 100,000 people in those tribes combined, do you still want to fight the only remaining centaurs? Seeing this, Jialanga hurriedly scolded loudly.

"Did my third brother die in vain? These people of mine died in vain? A bunch of sluts even dared to kill the people of our Mutu tribe! If I don't kill them all, how can I explain to the tribe when I go back? Kio howled loudly.

"That's enough, they're in Sand Lake City now, and there are several ways out of Sand Lake City to get to the royal court! Besides, Sand Lake City won't let you do anything wrong! If you want to take revenge, you better recuperate and kill Chi Fen! He's the culprit! "Jialanga still has some means, knowing that he can't stimulate Mu Xiong now, he can only change the direction and let Mu Xiong shift his attention to Ji Fen.

"Good! When I catch Chi Fen, I will definitely break him into pieces! Mu Xiong suddenly remembered, yes, isn't Chi Fen in the Hecha tribe, he is the culprit!

There was too much work to be done to deal with the aftermath, not only to bury the bodies, but also to re-give Mutu

The tribe prepares a tent, otherwise so many people don't even have a place to sleep! In addition, I have to find a doctor to treat the third child, although I am not human, but isn't this still alive, it's better than dead!

After a busy night, I can be considered to have done almost the aftermath. Jialanga also felt exhausted and physically and mentally exhausted. I have never been so aggrieved as now, I thought that with an army of two million, taking Lingyue Mountain was a matter of holding the handle, but I didn't expect it to be a loss of soldiers and a few losses! This time in the attack on Lingyue Mountain, there were 90,000 casualties!

Just being fought against by Chi Fen caused more than 20,000 casualties to Mu Xiong's iron cavalry! The 100,000 iron horsemen brought out by Muxiong are now only 30,000, and a large tribe of one million people can't make up 100,000 iron horsemen, so you can imagine how big the loss of the Mutu tribe is this time!

What's even more unexpected is that from the night, almost all the war horses began to tremble, and later some of the war horses couldn't stand up and lay on the ground! Even King Ming's ironclad war horse is the same. It turned out that the people of Chi Fen had drugged all the forage the day before leaving, although they were weak, they were very proficient in raising cattle and horses, and they also knew how to use medicine......

This time the matter is very big, not only can not go to war, but also have to prepare forage again, forcing the warriors of these tribes to cut the grass and prepare the fodder by themselves, not necessarily 100,000 war horses to graze! And those veterinarians were helpless after coming to see it, not what kind of medicine they ordered, and they didn't dare to prescribe prescriptions. If you want these horses to recover, I am afraid that it will not work without ten days.

But in ten days, the problem of food was highlighted, and now there is only one day's ration left, and then King Ming can't get it out. And because his iron-armored war horse was also poured by medicine, King Ming and Princess Ming also had a lot of complaints, and they didn't want to mention the matter of food at all.

Jialanga went to reason with King Ming, but was mercilessly scolded back by Princess Ming: "You are to blame, who can blame you?" The discipline of his subordinates is not strict, which has led to today's serious consequences, so find a way to solve it yourself! ”

Jia Langa was bored, returned to his sleeping tent with a disgraced face, drank to kill his sorrows, and then lit a pot of cigarettes to figure out a way, and finally summoned Fang Binnu to let her give her an idea.

"Chitose, the slave thinks that there are two ways now, one is to send someone to buy food from Sand Lake City, although it is a huge cost, but if you are sure to take Lingyue Mountain, this price is still worth it. The second is to withdraw the troops immediately, the losses are not too great now, withdraw to your own tribe, where is the place of foundation, recuperate, and regroup! Fang Binnu was very brainy, and immediately gave two suggestions.

"Go back? …… No, the loss is too great! Now that they have no missiles and thunderbolts buried in the ground, we have already begun to attack the city, and it is a pity to give up now! Send someone to buy three days' worth of food first, and let me think again! Jialanga shook her head in embarrassment and said......

At this time, Lingyue Mountain was also busy, not only to repair the smashed city wall in time, but also to replenish various defensive tools and materials, treat the wounded, and reward the soldiers!

This offensive and defensive battle can definitely be regarded as a victory, because the female warriors almost did not participate, they were all strengthening the defense on both sides, and the city walls were all ordinary soldiers, it was quite good to have such a performance, although there were also 20,000 casualties, but the morale was high, and they had already played with confidence!

Just when Zhu Xiaobao and Duanmu Qi were busy treating the soldiers, Jumei came back with two giant men, and everyone turned their eyes to these two giant men, Jumei's height of one meter and nine looks very small in front of the two giant men, which shows how tall and powerful these two giant men are! It is estimated that there must be at least 300 catties, and the height must be at least two and a half meters! This is the estimation of Zhu Xiaobao in his heart!

But what Zhu Xiaobao didn't expect was that these two giants actually came to him, which surprised Zhu Xiaobao, raised his head to look at these two giants, frowned and asked, "You came to me?" ”

"The hosts! …… Yes...... You are the master......" The two stupid guys couldn't speak clearly, so they could only say a few simple words, but they listened to Jumei's words very much, and asked them to kneel, and the two of them obediently knelt in front of Zhu Xiaobao, and they were half a head taller than Zhu Xiaobao!

Duanmu Qi was more patient, and he finally figured out the meaning of these two giants with a comparison, it turned out that they surrendered to Zhu Xiaobao because of the white tiger law.

Zhu Xiaobao tried to perform the White Tiger Law again, and the two giant men immediately bowed and kowtowed again and again in fear, but in their eyes was the satisfaction of finding a home!

"Brother-in-law! What do you think I'm going to do? You don't necessarily have to have these two giants by your side every day, right? In that case, I must not make all the doors higher and wider? Zhu Xiaobao asked in a whisper, a little overwhelmed.

"It's easy, let them follow the great beauty! And we also have two more super big hands, you don't want to be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, these two people are definitely two natural killers! Duanmu Qi said with a little envy.

"Follow Jumei? Well...... Are they men or women? "Zhu Xiaobao was very happy. But suddenly he asked cautiously.

"Neither! They don't have a gender! More eunuchs than eunuchs! ”

"Oh! I'm relieved! ”
