"I, Xiao Jingcong, should live and die with Yuncheng today! If there is a re-exhortation, it is like this stone! ”

Xiao Jingcong drew his Hongyan sword, slashed at the square boulder of the city wall, cut off a corner of the stone, and then raised his sword to kill the pile of Liang Xia soldiers rushing up like a tide......

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

With the successive impacts, the north gate was finally knocked out of a gap, Bai Qian immediately pulled out his sword and fought with the defenders of Cloud City in the narrow position of the city gate.

As tragic as a meat grinder, the two sides fought several times at the city gate, changed hands several times, and under Bai Qian's leadership, they stubbornly blocked the tide of attack after wave of Liangxia coalition forces. Then Bai Qian couldn't laugh at all, now all the soldiers guarding Cloud City were tired, and almost all of them were fighting with injuries.

If this battle continues, it is only a matter of time before the gates fall completely.

And Xiao Jingcong entrusted such an important task to himself, as long as he was still standing here for a moment, he would never let the city gate fall into the hands of Liang Xiajun.

Bai Qian clenched his teeth and let the knife wound in his chest burst open, and he couldn't care about his injuries at this moment.

War! War! War!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Chen Beixuan personally dispatched the Liang Xia army, and both retreat and rotation were done in an orderly manner, worthy of the old generals of the Northern Liang and Liang dynasties. He commanded the Liangxia coalition army to storm Yuncheng over and over again, and finally successfully opened a gap in the north gate before dawn, and then as long as he continued to press his soldiers and horses one after another, it would be no problem to take Yuncheng.

However, Chen Beixuan's plan seemed to have failed, and he originally thought that in less than an hour, he would be able to defeat the tired defenders of Xiao Guoyun City in one fell swoop. But an hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed, and when the sun shone again on the sky, the two sides were still at a stalemate at the gates.

At this moment, the corpses of the north gate are all over the field, and those corpses are almost piled up to cover the city gate.

"Damn it!" Chen Beixuan clenched his fists violently, and scolded in his heart, why is the other party so tenacious, obviously there is such a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and the opposite side actually relied on the narrow city gate to hold on.

What are you kidding, if you can't take Cloud City again, not only him, but even His Royal Highness the Second Prince will be implicated.

When Chen Beixuan was anxious, Dugu Yunliu, the second prince of Xiao State, also rode out of the main camp, and behind him was leading the most elite iron horse of Liang State.

Seeing Dugu Yunliu coming, Chen Beixuan patted his horse and came to Dugu Yunliu and reported the battle situation to him.

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, a gap has been opened at the north gate of Cloud City, until the enemy army is still resisting stubbornly, making a dying struggle, if you want to completely occupy the north gate, I'm afraid it will take a little time......"

After listening to General Chen's report, Dugu Yunliu had a gloomy face, was silent for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Put all the troops into the siege!" ”

"But ......" Chen Beixuan still wanted to persuade something, but seeing Dugu Yunliu's determination, Chen Beixuan's words came to his mouth and swallowed back, returned to the battlefield, and put 30,000 reserves into the siege battle.

In addition to the more than 5,000 frost iron cavalry behind Dugu Yunliu, a total of 120,000 troops all participated in this siege battle, and the tragedy of the battle can also be imagined.

With the addition of 30,000 new troops, the garrison of Cloud City has gradually become unstoppable, they have been fighting for a day and a night, hardly any rest, even the weapons in their hands are a little unable to hold, and the tiger's mouth is trembling incessantly.

The wails above and below the city were endless, including Xiao Jingcong and other generals, and almost none of the defenders of Cloud City could straighten their waists, all of them were panting heavily, sweat and blood had already wet and dry their clothes.

……

Taking advantage of the gap in the rotation of Liang Xiajun, Li Hui and the generals barely dragged their exhausted bodies to Xiao Jingcong's side.

Li Hui noticed that Xiao Jingcong's face had become very pale and ugly, and he must have been injured in the battle just now.

Xiao Jingcong glanced at Li Hui and asked coldly, "Has the enemy withdrawn?" "Nuancai Literature Network

Li Hui was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and his chapped lips moved slightly: "No...... There is no ......"

"If you didn't, why did you leave the front? This king ordered you to go back and defend ...... immediately," Xiao Jingcong almost gave an order to Li Hui in a roaring tone.

"Lord Wang, the general trend has gone, Liang Xiajun is like a crazy jackal, he is bound to swallow the fat of Yuncheng, even if he costs tens of thousands of lives, our soldiers have fought bloodily from yesterday during the day to today's daytime, there is almost no chance to rest for a day and a night, and it has really reached the limit......"

"Even if you reach the limit, even if you can't even hold a weapon, even if you block it with a corpse, you must not let the enemy army step into Cloud City!" There was hardly any blood on Xiao Jingcong's cold face, and the night wind blew his already messy hair, this moment was so bleak.

Li Hui was still unwilling, even if he risked being dealt with by military law, he persuaded Xiao Jingcong again: "Lord Wang, the last general can understand your feelings, but now the situation is very clear, the last general is willing to replace the prince You defend Yuncheng to the death, and fight to the last soldier, but Lord Wang, you are the foundation of Da Xiao, as long as you are still here, Da Xiao can organize an effective counterattack, and it is only a matter of time before you take back Yuncheng." Da Xiao can do without me Li Hui, but you are definitely a peerless general! ”

"Enough! Da Xiao is not my Xiao Jingcong's alone Da Xiao, Da Xiao can get to this day also depends on all the Da Xiao soldiers, anyone, even if it is just a small soldier, is absolutely indispensable, so General Li Hui, you don't have to persuade me, this king will not change his mind no matter what......"

Xiao Jingcong stood in the city tower with a sword, let the night wind blow his face, and after a long time, he said slowly: "General Li Hui, prepare a horse for this king......"

"Prepare the horse...... Prince, do you want to ......" Li Hui's face changed greatly when he heard this, could it be that Prince Xiao wanted to use the last method, did he want to lead the iron cavalry of 2,000 people out of the city to meet the enemy?

Thinking of this, Li Hui hurriedly dissuaded: "Lord, no, absolutely not!" Li Hui walked to the side of the city wall, pointed to Dugu Yunliu who was sitting in the Chinese army under the city and the frost iron cavalry waiting behind him, and continued in his mouth: "Lord Wang, Dugu Yunliu is on the battlefield at the moment, and his subordinates are the most elite iron cavalry of the Five Thousand Liang Kingdom, and he has already been waiting there to wait for work, just waiting for the prince to throw himself into the net, the prince must not fall for Dugu Yunliu's tricks at this time!" ”

"Even if this king doesn't take the initiative to attack and continues to defend here, it will be self-defeating, so it's better to give it a go." As a commander, how could Xiao Jingcong not know the current situation on the battlefield. No matter how brave the defenders of Cloud City are, no matter how strong Cloud City is, in the face of the other party's desperate and crazy crowd tactics, Cloud City is already in their pocket.

In this case, I can only try to do the final desperate struggle.

Li Hui knew Xiao Jingcong's personality, once he decided, no one could change it, but he still tried to make the final persuasion, "Lord Wang, since you want to take the initiative, then leave this task to the last general!" Li Hui knew that Xiao Jingcong would not give up this plan, so he took the initiative to ask him to fight.

"General Li Hui, what do you mean by this?" Xiao Jingcong frowned slightly, looked down at Li Hui in front of him and asked.

Li Hui clenched his fists and replied: "Lord Wang, you are the commander of the three armies, and you are our backbone, you still need to continue to fight in command of the defenders of Cloud City!" Leave the charge to the end of the day! ”

"No, General Li Hui, it's better for this king to go in person."

"Lord Wang, do you trust the last general? The last general also commanded the cavalry, and the last general's cavalry was lost that night, so this time let me take back my dignity with both hands, and be ashamed! After speaking, Li Hui knelt heavily on the ground.

Seeing Li Hui like this, Xiao Jingcong was stubborn after all, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, General Li listens to the order, and you will replace this king, command two thousand iron cavalry, go out from the south gate of Yuncheng, bypass the flank of the Liangxia coalition army, and launch an attack, and this king will cooperate with the defenders of Yuncheng to assist you in your attack!" ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

Li Hui answered, turned around and walked down the city tower with his sword, Xiao Jingcong never looked back at Li Hui, Li Hui was only afraid that he would die for a lifetime, Xiao Jingcong raised his head and looked at the dense locust-like troops under the city, his vision became cloudy and blurred......

……

In front of the camp of the Liang-Xia coalition army.

A scout hurriedly patted his horse and sent a message to Dugu Yun, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Qiqi, there is movement in Cloud City." ”

"Oh, is it? Xiao Jingcong finally couldn't sit still? Don't want to sit back and wait? Dugu Yunliu was secretly happy when he heard this, so he immediately asked: "Tell me quickly, what is the movement?" ”

"The south gate of Cloud City was opened, and a cavalry came out of the south gate, but it quickly disappeared into the mountains, because the mountains and dense forests blocked it, and it was difficult for our men to trace the whereabouts of this cavalry......" the scout reported.

Dugu Yunliu heard the scout's report, touched his chin and pondered for a while, and then continued to ask: "How many men and horses are there in the other party's cavalry, and who is leading the army?" But Xiao Jingcong, the commander of the Xiao army? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, that cavalry has a total of about 2,000 people, belonging to light cavalry, and the person who commands the army is wearing a red armor, so he should not be the commander of the Xiao army......"

"Not Xiao Jingcong? If it weren't for him, there would be nothing to worry about......"
