Wen Xuan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I also have this intention, and I had to come up with this plan out of helplessness before, helping Miss Han to the position of the saint, after this battle, I will never let her bear such a heavy burden on her shoulders again." ”

The three of them agreed on this matter and left in a hurry, and along the way, Sesame Li told the two of them the route in detail.

As soon as the three of them returned to the vicinity of the city wall, they heard a rumbling sound, and they knew that it was the Yuan soldiers bombarding the city wall with artillery again.

Wen Xuan suggested: "It's not a way to go on like this, after all, there are many Yuan thieves, if they carry out wheel warfare like this and attack day and night, we will have no energy to defend in less than two days." Li Qianhu, you have been tired for a day, let's go and rest for a few hours, there will be me and Brother Mu watching at night. ”

Sesame Li also knew that Wen Xuan's words made sense, so he didn't shirk it, turned around and went down to rest.

Yuan Bing said that it was three rounds of sneak attacks, but it was better to say that it was three rounds of night attacks, the intensity of these attacks was not inferior to that of the day, and at the critical moment, Wen Xuan and Mu Chong had already rushed to the city to meet the enemy, but in the end they still succeeded in defending it.

The attack of one day and one night did not break through Xuzhou, and Tokhtar also knew that his soldiers had lost morale, so he immediately stopped the attack, ordered the whole army to rest for two days, and then attacked again.

This cycle repeatedly, the Yuan soldiers attacked for two days in one day, and stormed Xuzhou three times in nine days, under the artillery bombardment, the north city gate was blasted open a hole, and the city wall also collapsed in many places.

Not to mention the heavy losses of the Yuan soldiers, it is said that the Red Turban Army in the city is indeed exhausted, and it is no longer able to hold Xuzhou under the heavy casualties, and even the old, young, women and children in the city have joined the battle under the critical situation.

Day 10.

On this day, the scorching sun was scorching, and Tokhov transferred another 10,000 foot soldiers from Tai Buhua's hands, and he saw that Xuzhou City was crumbling, as long as he pressed these 10,000 foot soldiers again, no matter how stubbornly the thieves in the city resisted, they would return to the sky.

On this day, he also put on his tiger stripe gold armor, and personally rode a horse to the front line to supervise the battle, and there were nearly 100 officials and subordinates who followed behind him, and the momentum was extremely huge.

This time the Yuan soldiers poured out of the nest, and the dense Yuan soldiers surrounded the four city gate exits of Xuzhou, especially the main attack of the north city in front of the largest number of troops, the soldiers in the order of the general has prepared all the siege equipment, just waiting for the order to get rid of the order, to launch the most deadly attack on Xuzhou!

Wen Xuan and the others in the city had also gathered in one place, and everyone's faces were extremely solemn, they knew that it was difficult to defend against the attack of the Yuan soldiers with the troops and materials in the city.

When the city is broken, what awaits the soldiers and civilians in the city will be the monstrous anger of the Yuan soldiers and the endless killing......

Han Lingyue deserves to be called a heroine, and before the war, she personally went to the city to draw her sword to boost morale and do the last battle mobilization.

Wen Xuan glanced at Mu Chong, and Mu Chong immediately understood, holding the black gold treasure spear and following Han Lingyue's neighborhood to secretly protect him.

After Han Lingyue finished all this, she walked down to Wen Xuan, and blamed herself: "I'm sorry, Master Wen, I insisted on asking you to return to Xuzhou with me, but it turned out that I was going to suffer with you...... If there is an afterlife, I ......"

Wen Xuan interrupted her with a gentle smile: "Don't say such unlucky words, with me by your side, no one hurt half of your hair, and I'm still waiting to take you to Sanssouci Island to see my father." ”

Han Lingyue's nose was sore, and she couldn't help shedding a few tears, but she quickly turned her head and wiped it clean, and put all her heart on this defensive battle.

Seeing this, Sesame Li came to Wen Xuan's side: "Master Wen, have you remembered the route to that secret passage clearly?" ”

Wen Xuan nodded solemnly: "Wen remembers, but Li Qianhu ...... When the city is broken, will you really not go with us? If Wen remembers correctly, your beloved daughter is also in the city, right? ”

Sesame Li smiled freely: "The Han family has a great kindness to us, now is the time for our Li family to repay the kindness, although the little girl is not a heroine like the saint, but it can be regarded as a thankful retribution, our father and daughter died and happened to go on the road together, and afterwards I just asked the master of the hall to burn some paper money for our father and daughter." ”

In order to wait for Wen Xuan to ask, the Yuan soldiers outside the city let out an earth-shaking shout of killing, only to see a dense crowd of figures quickly rushing towards the north city wall.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot me all the arrows you have at hand! Let's kill one and earn one! Sesame Li immediately issued an order to deal with it, because there were too many soldiers under the city, so the archers at the head of the city did not have to worry about the head at this time, and they didn't need to aim, they didn't need to aim, they just pulled the bow and shot the arrows, so for a time it also caused a spectacular scene of ten thousand arrows firing at once.

Not long after, the first wave of Yuan soldiers had already carried the ladder to the city wall, and they shouted slogans and worked together to build the ladder to the city.

The ladders are made of hard, rough wood, the blades are difficult to cut, and because they are too heavy to overturn, most of the time the defenders can only lift large stones and smash them down the ladder.

Even if the Yuan soldiers were wearing helmets, it was useless, and the stones that fell from the height were like smashing eggs and watermelons, causing their heads to bloom and killing them on the spot.

The soldiers who were lucky enough to hold a shield to block the stone could quickly climb, but when they approached the battlements, there would be defenders with long lances to stab them, and if they were not careful, they would be picked out and killed, and they would fall under the city and fall into meatloaf.

The brave and fortunate soldiers were able to climb the ladder to avoid many obstacles to the top of the city, and what awaited them was the siege of the defenders of the city, and the first people to board were usually hanged on the spot, but they also bought valuable time for their companions in the follow-up battle, so that more people could come to the city.

In fact, the life of the defenders at the head of the city was not easy, in addition to dealing with these Yuan soldiers who were constantly climbing the ladder, they also had to constantly bend their bows and arrows to shoot at the archers on the well carts sent by the Yuan soldiers.

In addition, the Yuan soldiers' catapults, bed crossbows, and artillery are more than one of the big killers.

The catapults were all boulders coated in fire oil, which could cause great damage when they hit the corner towers of the city walls, let alone people, but all the defenders were killed on the spot when they were wounded by the flint.

The Yuan soldiers were also very clever in the use of bed crossbows, they knew that it was difficult to shoot the enemy in a siege battle, so they used this object to shoot at the city wall, the huge thick arrows were enough to be embedded in the stone city wall, and quite firm, so that as long as hundreds of thick arrows were shot into the city wall, the soldiers could also use this object as a means of climbing upwards and playing a role in being unprepared.
