Chapter 171: The real battle has just begun
Fierce battles, never to the death.
The corpses under the city have begun to decompose.
The stench was permeating, but the other party was still desperately attacking the city.
The three days and three nights of onslaught put the imperial city in danger of capsizing at any time.
In particular, Dongcheng was once breached.
Like locusts, the other party rushed into it along the gap in the broken wall.
Fortunately, the temporary construction of the urn city played a decisive role.
Under the brave fighting of the defenders and civilians in the city, it was recaptured again.
The fierce generals took the lead, leading the army and civilians to fill the loopholes and rebuild the city wall as soon as possible.
The tug-of-war is unfolding again.
The casualties of the guards were increasing, but the losses of the other side were even greater.
"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”
Finally, the long-lost sound of golden chimes sounded.
At dusk on the third day, the rebels finally withdrew.
The defenders at the head of the city looked at the rebels retreating like a receding tide.
I couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers.
But more people have fallen to the ground without strength, unable to move.
For three days and three nights, the limit of the body has been reached.
As Mingjin withdrew his troops, both sides breathed a sigh of relief.
"Rescue the wounded, I'm unconscious again!"
"Help, there's someone here!"
"Hold on, brother, open your eyes!"
"Daddy...... Where are you? ”
In the city, cries, shouts, and cheers are mixed in one place.
Rescuing people and looking for relatives, the four city heads are still so noisy.
In the crowd, Duan Lianxue also dragged the wounded and walked down with difficulty.
Since she came to the city wall to comfort the soldiers and civilians, the whole person has changed tremendously.
From the original fear and timidity, to the later compassion.
From sitting cross-legged and reciting the Dharma, to finally participating in the rescue.
Covered in blood, she is no different from ordinary people now.
Gritting her teeth, she finally found that reciting Buddhist scriptures had no effect on this battlefield.
"Princess, take a break!"
The guards on the side looked at Duan Lianxue who was stumbling.
She also didn't close her eyes for three days and three nights, and her already weak body could still support it.
"Leave me alone, I'm fine, hurry up and save people!"
Duan Lianxue shook off the guards and shouted loudly.
Seeing one life after another fall in front of her, she was so powerless.
The soldiers and civilians in front of them are all trying to send the wounded to help.
However, due to the lack of medicine or the severity of the injury, many of the wounded could not support it at all.
Duan Lianxue looked at the corpses and wounded people in front of her, and her tears had long since dried up.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, how does this feel?"
A voice came, causing Duan Lianxue to look up suddenly.
Lin Su was standing beside her at this moment.
Those cold eyes were staring at themselves.
"Master!"
Duan Lianxue paused, then suddenly turned over and knelt on the ground.
This change, even Lin Su couldn't help but be stunned.
"You recognize me as a master again?"
Lin Su smiled, Duan Lianxue was really a talented girl, it seemed that she had really changed.
"Master, it was my fault before...... I shouldn't have talked like that...... Ask Master to pass on my kung fu...... I want to be strong! ”
Duan Lianxue knelt on the ground, in the past three days, she hated her incompetence.
Now she suddenly realizes that she has no intention of killing, but she has no power to save people.
needs the protection of others everywhere, and there are two soldiers who died with several arrows in order to protect her.
He watched them die in front of him, but he couldn't do anything.
"Learning kung fu, isn't it killing in vain?"
Lin Su nodded, although she was a weak woman, at least she had murderous intent.
As her own chess piece, if she can insert this Dali, she will be even more at ease.
"Master, I'm not here to kill, but to redeem, kung fu can kill but also save people, I was narrow-minded before, but now I understand, I hope Master will teach me kung fu for the sake of my sincerity!"
What Duan Lianxue said was sincere.
I thought that Lin Su was the devil before, but now I found that this was completely my own opinion.
The soldiers and civilians who came and went, seeing Lin Su's respect, came from the bottom of their hearts.
"Okay, I'll naturally teach you kung fu, but now is not the time, when this battle is over, you have time to learn, but you have to promise me something!"
Lin Su nodded with satisfaction, looking at Duan Lianxue's loyalty value reaching eighty.
This stubborn donkey-like girl, once she turns around, is really different.
"Please make it clear to the master, and the disciples will strictly follow the teachings!"
Duan Lianxue knelt on the ground and said sincerely,
"Eternal Grace!"
Lin Su's words made Duan Lianxue stunned.
"The disciple obeys the teacher's orders, in this life and this life, the teacher's life is like a mountain, go to the soup and the fire, never hesitate!"
Duan Lianxue nodded without hesitation.
When she stood up again, the good thoughts in her heart became more and more refined.
She also finally understood what true good thoughts were.
"Okay, go and rest, you can't help by staying here, but if you fall ill, who can continue to boost morale, you have been very good in the past three days."
Lin Su nodded with satisfaction, completely subduing this apprentice is extremely important for the future cause.
"Master, the rebels' offensive is not trivial, if there is another strong attack, I am afraid that this city will not be able to hold it!"
Duan Lianxue looked at the soldiers who were still wailing.
There are really too many wounded, and if this continues, the imperial city will not be protected.
"Don't worry, we work hard, and the other side is not comfortable, such a strong attack, morale has already fallen to the bottom, and they are short of food and grass, even if there are so many attritions, they still can't survive seven days, once the food is out, they will not attack themselves, so the real battle has just begun."
Lin Su has a red-eyed golden eagle, and he doesn't need to go out of the city to know the enemy's movements.
Now in the midst of the enemy camp, wailing is everywhere.
There were many dead and wounded, and those soldiers still had the idea of fighting.
"It's just ...... started"
When Duan Lianxue heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.
The horror of war has made him not know how to deal with it.
"Tomorrow morning, it's the real battle of wit, let's rest early!"
After Lin Su finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the city wall.
"Report, the defenders of Dongcheng lost 7,000 and wounded more than 8,000 people!"
"Report, the defenders of Xicheng lost 3,000 and wounded more than 6,000 people!"
"Report, the defenders of Nancheng have lost 3,000 killed and more than 7,000 wounded!"
"Report, the defenders of Beicheng have lost 4,000 killed, 3,000 seriously wounded, and 3,000 lightly wounded!"
The generals guarding the city at the four gates all arrived at the gate of the north city.
Because the wall of the eastern city collapsed, the casualties were the heaviest.
"Four soldiers and horses, leave a thousand defenders, and the rest of the personnel, all transferred to the east gate!"
Lin Su nodded, these days, although he doesn't come to the city, he knows every move.
The opposing army's army is converging towards the east gate.
It is clear that they have found weak points.
"Yes!"
The four generals did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly turned back to the barracks and mobilized their troops and horses.
Lin Su sat in a chair with his eyes closed.
"Star Lord, tomorrow we are going to have a showdown!"
