Li Mu was about to jump off the city wall, but Dugu Jiu hugged him and pushed him into the arms of the soldiers behind him, his body moved slightly, and the person had already flown out. In mid-air, he turned around and flashed an arrow, reached out and grabbed it, gritted his teeth, and threw it with all his strength. The arrow drew an afterimage and nailed it to the throat of the cavalry that had killed Usman. Immediately, Dugu Jiu stepped on the head of an enemy who climbed up the city wall and flew back to the wall.

Li Mu's willpower had reached the limit, and he fainted with his eyes open.

The enemy sang gold and retreated like a tidal wave. The battle outside the city is over, it is impossible to say who wins and who loses, the losses of both the enemy and us are not small, and after careful calculation, after all, the enemy army suffered relatively large losses, and the explosives bags played their due role, bringing at least thousands of casualties.

The yellow sand outside the city gradually dispersed. The breeze was blowing, and the air seemed to smell a little bloody. Li Mu had already woken up, the corners of his eyes were bloodstained, and Usman's death made him understand that the word tearing eyes was true......

"Su Lie, go and settle the casualties of our army." Li Mu said tiredly.

Su Dingfang had already finished counting, and said: "Of the men and horses led by General Wang and I, only more than 100 people were wounded, and 25 died. As soon as the men and horses of Zhangjiazhai came into contact with the enemy, they were ordered to retreat, and it is estimated that the casualties were not large, but Usman's side ...... I'm afraid the thousands of people he brought with him ......"

Li Mu's lips trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, and said, "How many soldiers are left in our city now?" "Counting the villagers, there are less than 5,000 people left. Some of them were seriously injured......" Su Dingfang's expression was a little gloomy.

Li Mu smiled bitterly: "More than half of it was lost in one day...... The army will have at least one more day, that is to say, when the army comes, luckily, we will just die! Everyone is silent, how can you take this?

……

Outside the city, the enemy's battle formation has not been withdrawn, but has been re-arranged, after the battle just now, the enemy's momentum seems to be stronger, all over the formation in the long yellow sand. It exudes a murderous aura that soars into the sky.

Li Mu seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body, and slowly collapsed and sat on the ground along the earthen bricks of the arrow stack. The retreat of the enemy army turned out to be not a retreat, but a rest, and they are going to attack the city again! In this lonely city, Li Mu has no hope at all.

"Big brother, cheer up, you're like this, what should we do?" Li Siwen didn't know when he came again, Li Mu looked at him, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm thinking." What kind of death should I choose, so that my image after death can be a little more majestic and majestic......"

Li Siwen covered his ears: "What is the death, who said that it would die?" We're not going to die! Aren't there thousands of brothers here? ”

Li Mu shook his head, too lazy to explain.

"If unexpected reinforcements arrive, the city will be ...... today," Li Mu muttered.

Li Mu weakly pointed to the battle formation outside the city, and sighed: "The enemy army has gone crazy, and the next round of siege will definitely be reckless and at any cost......

"How can you see that you are crazy......" Li Siwen looked out of the city unconvinced, and his eyes suddenly straightened.

Behind the battle array, a large open space was set aside in vain, and more than 20 places on the open space were full of people, squatting on the ground and fiddling with a long pile of scattered logs, as if building blocks, and the wood gradually got higher and higher, and finally took shape.

Li Siwen's eyes were straight, and the defenders on the city were also straight, and a sense of unease and panic slowly permeated the surroundings of the city.

"This ...... What are they doing? ”

Li Mu said weakly: "Stone thrower, they are assembling stone thrower, I really can't see it, the Turks can also do tricks!" ”

Li Siwen gritted his teeth: "It must be Cui Wang, the Cui family has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is not surprising that there are craftsmen who know how to do tricks!" Big brother, what are you afraid of, if you throw a stone, you won't be able to hit a few people! ”

"Although this thing is called 'stone thrower', it doesn't necessarily throw stones, besides, how can there be stones in this vast grassland?"

"And what will they throw at it? They don't have gunpowder! ”

"No gunpowder, don't they have anything else?" Li Mu's heart was already cold, he didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that he was right.

An hour later, at dusk, the enemy war drums beat and began to attack the city again.

This time, there were no thousands of troops coming like a tide, and it was indeed those stone throwers that were the first to strike.

The long arms of the aircraft redrew a half-arc in mid-air, and black objects were thrown out of the top, smashing wildly towards the city.

Li Mu decisively ordered, and all the defenders and soldiers hid, only to see dozens of black earthen pots smashed on the road at the head of the city in mid-air, and then smashed into pieces.

Li Mu's expression became more and more bitter, and sure enough, he was guessed.

Dozens of canisters were all smashed at the head of the city, and after the canisters were broken, the liquid contained in them splashed out, and the defending soldiers suddenly felt bad, everyone smelled a strange smell, and an elderly veteran with rich battlefield experience sniffed vigorously, and then changed color, shouting: "It's fire oil!" Dog offal, they want to burn the city! It's crazy! ”

These fire oils are Cui Wang's killer weapon to Amur. Long before the start of the war, they shipped it over, and they planned to use it again when attacking Chang'an, but now Dingxiang can't beat it, what else is there to do in Chang'an, Amur has gone crazy, no matter what Cui Wang stops, it must be used!

At this moment the corners of Amur's mouth were hooked, and he grinned in a cruel arc, and he rode out slowly, without speaking, and slowly put a lit arrow on the bowstring, pulled it into a full moon, and finally with a whoosh, the rocket shot impartially on the wall.

The entire city wall in the west has been soaked in the oil of the clay pot, and when it encounters fire, it burns, and with a bang, the city is burned with fire, and the sun and the moon change color!

……

Desperate situation, a real desperate situation, all in front of you are scorched earth and corpses, look ahead. Outside the city, there were still countless enemy troops, lined up three miles outside the city, quietly watching the city where the flames were not extinguished.

When the flames rose, Li Mu categorically ordered the whole city to retreat. This scene made Li Mu a little trance, and when he first came to this world, it was also like this.

The only slight exception is Li Siwen, the last time he retreated, he retreated in a coma. But this time, he was sober. In the end, he carried out Li Mu's order, stunned Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and led the people of Dingxiang to retreat.

The soldiers did not leave, and the young men remained. They stripped off the armor of the dead soldiers, took their weapons, and stood silently on the wall.

Li Mu didn't say anything, he respected the choice of these people.

Can't retreat, Dingxiang is the gateway of the Tang Dynasty, and the city is strong, if you retreat, where to retreat? Ma Yi? The walls of Ma Yi can't resist the iron hooves of the enemy!

In the end, with the addition of all the young and strong, a total of 10,000 people remained.

They had to face at least 80,000 enemy troops.

There is no more gunpowder, no miracles, only a head-on battle.

Everyone understands that this scene is more than lucky!

The fire burned all night, and while the flames burned, the fighting did not stop. The enemy army took advantage of the situation to attack the city, and the attack was unprecedentedly fierce, and countless robes fought with the enemy to death and burned to death. In the end, there are fewer and fewer people, and the combat power is getting weaker and weaker. Li Mu had to kill the enemy with his own weapon, in front of the two armies, who cares who you are, and his back was also cut with two long knife cuts.

Dugu Jiu relied on his martial arts and was not injured, but his physical strength was also exhausted, his face was pale, his wrists drooped weakly, and he trembled involuntarily.

Wang Hu was more seriously injured, because he had always been on the front line of command, and whenever there was a crisis at any battlement, he was often the first to rush up, and then he fought regardless of life and death.

Sixty percent of the 10,000 defenders were dead, and the city was covered with corpses, both enemy and robes, and sadly, the living did not have the strength to carry the corpses of the robes down the city, because they were so tired that they had the strength to pant and save their strength for the next wave of the offensive.

It was too tragic, Li Mu recalled last night's battle, in order not to drag down the robes, the seriously injured people did not ask for help at all, they would use their last strength to pounce on an enemy, and the two of them fell down the city wall together and died together.

This lifeless style of fighting, in order to burn the city under the fire, still keep Dingxiang from falling, the more the enemy fights, the more frightened, the more demoralized the more depressed, the defenders of the Tang Dynasty seem to have become a madman who does not want to die, and such a madman fights, who is not frightened?

The inside and outside of the city were already dilapidated, and the enemy threw too much oil, and Li Mu even doubted that there was so much oil in the treasury of Chang'an City. All that should have been burned was burned, and when the fire was extinguished, all that was left was devastation and desolation.

The enemy has been frightened, and no matter how much the Lord will reprimand, he will not dare to attack. Seeing this scene, the enemy had no choice but to sing gold, throw down the corpses all over the ground, and retreat again.

Looking up, the dragon flag representing the Tang Dynasty in the middle of the city is still fluttering in the wind, and next to the dragon flag, Li Mu's cloud dragon flag is also erected, but it is already dilapidated.

In fact, when the battle has reached this point, there is no suspense about the ending, and no matter how fast the army is, it will take at least half a day to arrive. And for the next attack of the enemy, the defenders at the head of the city are no longer able to deal with it.

The next time the enemy beats the drums, that's when death comes.

Li Mu looked at the east, at this moment, he missed your own wives very much.

Children, after all, your father is not a good father, and he can't wait for you to be sensible and watch you start a family......

Tears fell silently, and Li Mu raised his hand to wipe them away. It's already this time, and I'm still crying.

"Do you regret staying in this city?" Li Mu's voice was very distant, as if it was separated by an impenetrable fog, and he didn't know who he was asking.

"No regrets!" Su Dingfang, who had been in a coma for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and roared loudly. His will may have been blurred, but his tone was still firm!

Under the city wall, Cui Wang's shout came.

"Li Mu! If you can hear what I'm saying, please give me a response! If you are willing to be loyal to the Cui family, the valve owner will not be guilty of the past, and on the day of the founding of the country, he is willing to serve the position of prime minister! Think about it, the owner promises, if you are willing to surrender, the past grudges will be written off! There is only one life, the owner of the valve has pity on you, don't make mistakes! ”

Li Mu was already very tired, half of his body leaned weakly against the arrow battlements of the city wall, and when he heard this, he didn't have the strength to scold back.
