Chapter 323: Fight to the Death
"It's over, it's over, it's completely over, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops on the other side, and we already have less than 20,000 defenders, the difference in strength is too great, we can't win!"
"Yes, yes, this time Cloud City really can't hold it, even if the peerless general Xiao Wangye is here, there is nothing to be done......"
"What do we do now? If Yuncheng can't hold it, I'm afraid that Xiao Guo behind him will also ......"
"We can make peace...... Or you can pay compensation to cut the land...... As long as Beiliang and Yuan Xiaken withdraw their troops, is there anything that can't be done? The Great Depression is a lot of things, even if you cede some, it doesn't matter......"
The person who spoke was a school captain, and as soon as his words fell, the people around him immediately lowered their heads and remained silent. He saw that everyone stopped talking, and he was a little strange, and when he looked back, he didn't know when Li Hui had come to his back.
"Ah, Lee...... General Lee...... You...... You are mistaken...... The small one has absolutely no intention of stealing a living, betraying the country to seek glory, and the small one ......"
Before the man finished speaking, Li Hui directly slapped him in the face with a heavy slap, "Greedy for life and afraid of death, killing you will only dirty my sword!" Get lost! ”
When the lieutenant heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "General Li, the little one knows that he is wrong, and the little one knows that he is wrong...... The little one also wants to be good for the brothers...... beg the general not to drive the small one away, the small one's life is Da Xiao's, and he vows to live and die with Yuncheng! ”
Li Hui still wanted to scold something, but Xiao Jingcong stopped him, "Forget it, General Li Hui, now is the time to employ people, spare him!" ”
Although Li Hui still had resentment in his heart, but Xiao Jingcong said so, he didn't want to make trouble again, swept the captain with cold eyes, and snorted coldly: "If there is no intercession for Prince Xiao today, this general will definitely not spare you!" What are you still doing in a daze, don't you quickly thank the prince! ”
The lieutenant heard Li Hui's words, and made a clever move, so he quickly moved in front of Xiao Jingcong, and kowtowed to Xiao Jingcong vigorously, and said while kowtowing, his mouth said: "Thank you for Prince Xiao's great grace!" Thank you for your great kindness! ”
Xiao Jingcong ignored the captain, immediately clenched his fists, climbed to the highest viewing platform, drew his sword, and then gave an order to the generals, "Soldiers, this may be the most difficult battle we have ever had!" But we must not lose this battle! For the sake of his wife and children, for the sake of his homeland, even if he fights to the last soldier, he must defend Cloud City! ”
As soon as Xiao Jingcong's words fell, the soldiers of the city tower shouted in unison: "Defend Cloud City!" Defend the ...... of Cloud City"
……
As time passed, Liang Xia's army soon reached the city of Yuncheng, and as during the day, Dugu Yunlou still adopted the method of encircling on three sides and attacking Yuncheng at the same time. This style of play can give full play to the advantages of their large numbers, and it can be said that Dugu Yunliu is very wise to attack the enemy's strengths and weaknesses.
If it weren't for meeting Xiao Jingcong, I'm afraid he would have already included Cloud City in his hands, right?
On the Yuncheng side, under Xiao Jingcong's dispatch, the remaining less than 20,000 soldiers were also divided into three city walls in an orderly manner for defense. This time the pressure was even greater than during the day. Not only is the gap in numbers widening, but the main thing is that it is too late to prepare stones, hot oil or something, and the arrows are also in danger, and there is not much left, so once these necessary weapons to defend the city are exhausted, they will enter the stage of short-handed contact faster, and then the other party will be able to completely crush it with the advantage of troops, so it is just a matter of time before the loss of Cloud City is simply a matter of time.
Therefore, Xiao Jingcong had no choice but to take a risk, secretly gathered the remaining cavalry of Yuncheng together, and formed a cavalry team of more than 2,000 people, standing by behind the city gate, once the battlefield situation changed, Xiao Jingcong would not hesitate to rush out with this cavalry team, and he must not sit still!

Everyone held their breath and waited for the Liangxia coalition army to set up a ladder and climb the city tower to fight them to the death.
Finally, that moment came!
Countless Liang Xia soldiers climbed up to the cloud city without their lives, as if they were avenging the brothers who died during the day, completely tireless.
Even if one fell, and another quickly climbed up, plus the loss of the equipment to defend the city, the arrow was also very scarce, and it was impossible to kill these Liang Xia soldiers on a large scale, so this time the speed of the Liang Xia soldiers breaking through the city tower was more than twice as fast as during the day!
Although the attack of Liang Xia's soldiers was very fierce, the defenders of Cloud City were also undaunted.
Sun Li, Li Hui, Mo Yun and Bai Qian guarded the east, west, north and city gates respectively, and for a while they also withstood the offensive of the Liang-Xia coalition army.
However, at this time, the battlefield commander of the Northern Liang Army, General Chen Beixuan, came up with a plan, that is, after each wave of soldiers attacked, they would be replaced immediately, and then replaced with another wave of soldiers, so as to maximize the advantages of their large number of troops.
But the defenders of Cloud City are not good, they are already at a disadvantage in numbers, once they withdraw to rest, it is likely that they will be opened a gap, and when the time comes, the Liang Xia and Liang armies will rush up, and they will pour in like a tide, and it will be difficult to drive them out.
Therefore, all the defenders of Cloud City were tense their heartstrings all the time, clenching the weapons in their hands, and they could not relax for a moment, fighting with the enemy army every minute and every second, fighting for ......
But after all, they are just flesh and blood, as long as they are flesh and blood, they will feel tired, they will feel tired and slack, and that time is the moment when the Liang Xia soldiers give them a fatal blow.
Countless bright red lives turned into bubbles in pools of blood, bulging up and blooming again, as if nothing had happened, leaving nothing but a corpse full of wounds.
"Lord Wang, the enemy's offensive is so fierce that the brothers can't even breathe...... If this continues, Cloud City will be lost sooner or later, Lord Wang, you better leave Cloud City quickly! After Li Hui cut down several Liang Xia soldiers who rushed up to the city tower, he rushed to Xiao Jingcong covered in blood, reported the battle situation to him, and told him to evacuate Cloud City quickly.
Xiao Jingcong grabbed Li Hui's collar, then let go again, clenched his fists heavily, and made a "crackling" sound, "General Li Hui, the brothers are all fighting bloodily, do you want this king to be a deserter?" ”
"Lord Wang, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood! The enemy army is strong, and it is only in vain to continue to resist stubbornly, as long as you are okay, Lord Wang, you will definitely be able to recapture Cloud City in the future, so let's evacuate as soon as possible! ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang, go quickly! We'll stay here and help the prince escape!" ”
……
The surrounding soldiers also persuaded Xiao Jingcong, and when Xiao Jingcong saw this scene, two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes.
