"My lord, the Xirong army has withdrawn." Captain Guo Yi came to Captain Luo who hung the lottery and said.

"What about our casualties?" Captain Luo asked Captain Guo Yi with a tired face.

"Seventy-two people were killed and two hundred and thirteen wounded." Captain Guo Yi said with a sad face.

"This casualty is too great, it's just the beginning, and the battle is still to come! If such casualties continue, I'm afraid our army won't be able to hold out for three days! Captain Luo said with a sad face.

"The offensive of the Xirong army is too fierce, it has not stopped at all, and most of the soldiers who have been killed and injured by our army have been successfully attacked by the Xirong thief army because of their lack of physical strength." Captain Guo Yi said viciously.

"From now on, all the sergeants will be divided into three shifts, one squad to defend the village, one squad to prepare for war, and one shift to rest."

"If you work in three shifts, there are only more than 300 soldiers in each shift, so our troops guarding the village are too thin from time to time."

"It's a little thin, but it's enough to hold the wall." Captain Luo said: "The Xirong army can only attack the Xizhai wall, and the attack surface is very narrow, so it cannot invest too many troops, and our army can completely defend it by relying on the terrain." ”

"I understand the lowly position, so let's arrange it." Captain Guo Yi answered.

————————

On the other side, inside the big tent of the Chinese army in the Qingshui camp.

After Murong Hao retired from the eastern front, he immediately came to the big tent of the Chinese army to ask Murong De for his guilt, Murong De has always seen the war on the front line, and he also knew that Murong Hao was really desperate, so he didn't blame Murong Hao too much.

"General Murong Hao, what are the losses of our army in the first battle in the morning?" Murong De asked Murong Hao with a dark face.

"You are a big handsome, about 1,300 people were killed in battle, and more than 2,400 were seriously wounded."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss......" The generals in the tent couldn't help but take a breath when they heard this number.

In just one morning, the Xirong army lost nearly 4,000 troops in the small place of Xizhai, you must know that these 4,000 people are not people who have just joined the army for a long time, but veterans with many years of battlefield experience, and they are the elite of Xirong's right army.

"The casualties are so heavy." Murong De said vaguely: "What good strategies do you have for the generals to break the enemy?" ”

"Dashuai, although this cottage is not big, it occupies the terrain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack; The reason why our army suffered such heavy casualties before was because the White Tiger Army guarding the village had arranged a large number of fortifications outside the wall, especially the trench, and many soldiers of our army were shot by the White Tiger Army guarding the village because they could not cross the trench at the first time;

Now that this trench has been filled in by our troops, several passages can greatly shorten the time of the attack, so the last general thinks that our casualties will be much lower in the next battle. A general stood up and said to Murong De.

"It makes sense." Murong De nodded; "Wei Chitong, then tell me how our army should fight next?"

"Marshal, in addition to occupying a favorable geographical position, the range of their bows and crossbows and catapults is much longer than that of our army, so on the way of our army's attack, there is always a distance that is passively beaten, which is very unfavorable to our army;

The last general thought that it would be better for us to send the new army into battle, so that the new army could see the blood, so that they could become qualified warriors as soon as possible, and they could also consume the bows and crossbows and arrows of the White Tiger Army guarding the village. ”

What Wei Chitong said is very hypocritical, what makes the new army become qualified soldiers as soon as possible, to put it bluntly, isn't it just to let this group of raw melons and eggs be cannon fodder! No, it should be said that it is used as arrow ash, which is used to continuously consume the stored arrows of the White Tiger Army; If they were to know about the 150,000 arrows of the White Tiger Army in the village, I'm afraid they wouldn't have this idea.

Under normal circumstances, an army of more than 1,000 people, even if it is all crossbow soldiers, each person has a pot of arrows (thirty), so it is more than 30,000 arrows, and the soldiers of the Xizhai garrison are five times this number; Even if the generals killed Xirong with so many arrows, they wouldn't have thought of it, after all, it takes money to make arrows!

In the afternoon, the Xirong army continued to attack, but although the number of attackers in the afternoon was about the same as in the morning, the intensity was much less than that of the white tiger army guarding the village.

The will to fight lasted until the evening, during which the soldiers of Xirong once attacked the wall in two layers, but they were driven down because the rear troops did not keep up in time.

"Bell, bell, bell......" There was a loud sound of gongs, and the attacking Xirong soldiers retreated like a tide.

"Heh, heh, he......" Looking at the retreating Xirong army, Captain Luo, who was covered in blood, sat on the wall and smiled happily; This day was too long for the soldiers of the White Tiger Army guarding the village.

"My lord, Xijon has withdrawn, you can also go down and rest! Tonight I will take my brothers to guard the village. Captain Guo Yi came to Captain Luo and said.

"Okay, keep your eyes open at night, and beware of the attack of the Xijon thief army."

"Humble duty understands."

The night passed, and the Xijon army did not launch a night attack; It's not that the Xirong army doesn't want to launch a night attack, but the strength doesn't allow it! Due to the lack of life and death A, the sergeants and soldiers of Xirong basically all have night blindness, and they can't see clearly at night.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

In the early morning, the dull sound of the horn sounded again, and the Xirong army began to prepare for the attack, and the White Tiger Army guarding the village also began to prepare for battle.

After a night's rest, coupled with enough cured meat, the officers and men of the White Tiger Army guarding the village can be said to be full of energy, and although their combat strength has not recovered 100%, they have also recovered 90%.

At the beginning of the siege, the Xirong army took out 30 catapults and hundreds of bed crossbows, as well as heavy siege weapons such as building carts and battering rams.

"The Xirong army is really ruthless this time, let the brothers pay attention to concealment, and the bed crossbowmen told Lao Tzu that the catapults and bed crossbows of the Xirong thieves were destroyed by Lao Tzu."

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Ahh Kill! Help me......"

The battlefield was filled with all kinds of sounds, from morning to afternoon, the Xirong army attacked wave after wave, and there was no rest in between, such a powerful attack caused very heavy casualties to the White Tiger Army guarding the village.

Just after an hour in the afternoon, the wall of the Xizhai was lost, and the remnants of the sergeants guarding the village had to retreat to the village and deal with the Xirong army; Due to the unfamiliarity with the situation in the village, after attacking the cottage, the Xirong army was attacked everywhere, and had to temporarily stop the attack and wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.

"How many more sergeants do we have now?" Captain Luo asked with pain on his face; At this time, Captain Luo was already seriously injured, with ten wounds of all sizes.

"There are more than 300 people, of whom more than 100 are seriously injured, and the rest are all lightly wounded." A brigade commander reported to Captain Luo.

As for Captain Guo Yi, he had already died in battle when he was guarding the wall.

"Carry me and the more than 100 seriously injured brothers to the place we prepared in advance." Captain Luo gave a military order with difficulty: "You can go with your brothers who are slightly injured and can still run!" ”

"My lord, if we don't go, we will die together; We should not be deserters. The brigade commander touched his tears and said.

"Silly boy, who said you were deserters! We've completed the task, so let's leave a seed for our house! Otherwise, who will remember us in the future and burn us paper and incense! Captain Luo's tone became more and more stern;" Slippery, withdraw with the roster and the military flag of our house. ”

"Adult ......"

"Execute the command ......"
