After the people rushed to the west city wall, they finally stopped the crazy offensive of the thieves, and the people joined together and kept pouring sand and stones into the gap in the city wall.

As the gap was filled in narrower and narrower, the accumulation of sand and stones became higher and higher, and it was difficult for the thieves outside the city to enter the city through the gap, and the thieves inside the city had exhausted their energy in the process of arrows above their heads and fighting the officials and soldiers under the city.

Qiu Xiaozhi and Li Guangzhong under the city have been closely watching the battle situation, as soon as they felt that the thieves showed their declining momentum, they seized the opportunity to counterattack, and the cavalry of the Jihu battalion parked under the city wall took the lead in launching a charge.

Under the cover of the sergeants, the people in the city worked hard and desperately filled the city, and finally filled the gap, and the north and south of the west city wall were broken through again.

After countless deaths and injuries of the thieves who attacked the city, they ended up with the current result, even though they had already entered the city, but the city walls were still repaired by the official army, and the thieves who attacked the city were also completely annihilated.

The siege of the city has been for such a long time, and the pointed wooden donkeys of the thieves have been burned by the officials and soldiers or blown up with gunpowder, and the stone throwers have stopped fire for fear of accidentally injuring their own people.

Although the wooden donkey kept knocking on the outside of the city to knock off a lot of bricks wrapped in the rammed earth, and some places the rammed earth was knocked out of the deep pit, but only this one city wall was chiseled down, and the thieves fought hard to fight the corpse mountain and the sea of blood but still returned with a feather, which can be imagined as a blow to morale.

After the city wall was closed, the thieves fighting on this side of the gap did not have the same lifeless momentum as before, and the thieves actually retreated from the city like a low tide, and the place where the battle was fiercest just now actually had time to rest.

However, Lan Ziyi did not relax there, because there were still thieves in all directions who continued to storm the city wall.

Lan Ziyi first divided some of the men from the sergeants that Tao Zhulu had just brought, and then asked Tao Zhulu to quickly lead the troops back to the east gate to defend.

Then Lan Ziyi arranged the defenders of the city, and asked people to inform the defenders of the whole city along the city wall, and the gap in the west city had been blocked.

In the end, Lan Ziyi went down to the city, and from the infantry brought by Qiu Xiaozhi, he divided the manpower to join his team, and asked Qiu Xiaozhi and Qiu Wenruo to bring people back to the palace to stand by, Li Guangzhong also brought the knights of the Jihu battalion to continue to be a backup, and Lan Ziyi himself and Tao Zhutu brought the gathered infantry to rush to the most urgent place on the city wall to help.

In this way, Lan Ziyi led people to fight fires on all sides, and participated in all the most critical moments on the walls of Xiangcheng.

The thieves began to attack the city at dawn, and fought until dusk before they withdrew in anger, and the corpses were strewn all over the city, and the broken knives and arrows stood on the ground, and the blood flowed down the city walls, like water overflowing in a bowl and flowing outward, and finally seeping into the earth and drying up on the ground.

The defenders of Xiangcheng suffered huge casualties, and the defenders who could have filled the city wall could only form one stronghold after another to defend by the end of this day.

Compared with the casualties of the officials and soldiers, the casualties of the thieves can only be described in four shocking words, the head of the city and the city are all the corpses of the thieves, and the corpses of the thieves in some places such as the gap in the west city wall are actually piled up to half the height of the city wall.

After the thieves retreated, Lan Ziyi led his fire brigade with heavy casualties to patrol the city, and met with the four generals Tao, Wei, and Gao who were guarding the four gates to exchange the battle situation, and several people lit torches to clean the city with the remaining defenders in the city and the people in the city.

After transporting the corpse to the city for burial, Lan Ziyi watched the city send the prepared meals to the city, and the soldiers fought fiercely for a day, and they were busy working for so long, so it was easy to get food to eat.

After the soldiers had dinner, Lan Ziyi arranged a vigil and a city patrol with the generals on all sides, and after everything was in order, it was already late at night, so Lan Ziyi called the generals back to the palace to discuss matters.

After returning to the long-lost backyard class, Lan Ziyi collapsed on the chair without even having the strength to take off his armor.

The official next to him helped Lan Ziyi take off his helmet and handed over a hot towel, Lan Ziyi took the towel and wiped it on his face, the feeling was really fluttering, and the nerves that had been tense for a day were relaxed, and then fell asleep.

It's a pity that I want to discuss things now, not to sleep, and the official next to me saw that Lan Ziyi didn't move and hurriedly asked:

"Wei Hou wants to put on his face? The villain will go and change a towel for you. ”

Lan Ziyi was awakened by the official and smiled under the towel, how can he put on his face at this time!

So Lan Ziyi hurriedly wiped the blood on his face, and reluctantly threw this gentle touch to the servant.

At this time, the generals in the city had already sat down at the round table, and the back kitchen also brought dry food and bacon or something.

Lan Ziyi thought that other people would be a little more energetic than himself, but he didn't expect that the enemy's father and son and Li Guangzhong were on standby in the back, and everyone else was as eager as Lan Ziyi to sit on the chair and fall asleep, even the brave Gao Yanzong was now paralyzed, and Lang Zhong on the side just took advantage of this opportunity to deal with the arrow in his shoulder for him.

Lang Zhong cut off Gao Yanzong's collar, first used a knife to cut some of the skin and flesh at the middle arrow, and then used gauze dipped in gold sore medicine to press it on the wound, and asked Gao Yanzong:

"My lord, it's time to pull out."

Gao Yanzong slumped in the chair and poured himself several jars of wine, nodded and said:

"Just do it, how can there be so much nonsense!"

Hearing this, Lang Zhong nodded to the assistants next to him, and when the assistants pressed Gao Yanzong firmly on the chair, Lang Zhong suddenly pulled out half of the arrow from Gao Yanzong's flesh.

Gao Yanzong naturally screamed, and scolded his mother to greet the eighteenth generation of the thief's ancestor,

Lang Zhong didn't stop, and took the opportunity to take the red-hot tongs to scald Gao Yanzong's wound, and then applied medicine.

After this trip, Gao Yanzong was also in good spirits, and the wine was also sent out, lying on the chair panting and looking at everyone and said:

"Heaven damn demon thief, today's siege is really fierce enough."

Everyone present was also more or less wounded, and Lang Zhong was busy giving everyone medicine and stitches, but the others were not hit by arrows like Gao Yanzong.

Tao Zhulu had a wound on his arm, which would be under needle, and after listening to Gao Yanzong's words, he also said:

"The thieves suffered a big loss last night, and they will definitely attack today."

Then Tao Zhulu said to this Lan Ziyi:

"Young master, oh no, Wei Hou, you are in danger again today, I have long said that the thieves will make a big move today and let you stay in the city, but you just don't listen."

Lan Ziyi also had a wound on his forearm, and he grinned in pain after applying gold sore medicine, and replied:

"I have to go to the city to command the fierce attack of the thieves, otherwise what's the use of me as a commander?"

Then Lan Ziyi said:

"Today, thanks to Xiaozhi, Wen Ruo and Guangzhong, the three of them led the team to help the Xicheng gap in time, otherwise it would have been broken by thieves, and now we are chatting with our heads at the entrance of the vegetable market."

Hearing this, the father and son of the Qiu family and Li Guangzhong clasped their fists and replied:

"Don't dare, I'm just doing my part."

Peach Rabbit said at this time:

"Mr. Xiaozhi's command today is really beautiful, I thought you were an old knife and pen clerk who only drank ink."

Qiu Xiao smiled when he heard this:

"This is also a method that I have been idling with General Li in the past few days, but I didn't expect it to come in handy."

李广忠 says:

"That is, I specifically proposed the doctrine of making the cavalry and infantry work together, so that the officers and soldiers can give full play to their combat strength."

At this time, Qiu Wenruo said:

"Although we have defended the city today, we have suffered huge casualties, and if the thieves still attack the city like this tomorrow, we will not be able to defend it."

Peach Rabbit heard the words and said:

"But the casualties of the thieves are much greater than ours, and we have to die three of our brothers and thieves today."

Qiu Wenruo says:

"But we have far fewer people than thieves. If we have 60,000 dead or wounded, there will be no one, and even if the thieves have 180,000 dead and wounded, they can still pull out several more 180,000, and from the moment the war of attrition is fought, Xiangcheng has actually been lost. ”

Lang Zhong, who was treating the wounds of several people, had gone out,

Qiu Wenruo's words were true and undisguised, and everyone present was speechless when they heard the heavy mood, and the joy of finally winning the battle was replaced by a heavy atmosphere.

After a long while, Gao Yanzong said:

"Xiangcheng fell, but we nailed the millions of thieves with a lonely city, and killed and injured countless thieves, how can we earn it.

It's just that it is indeed a pity that we failed to wait for the reinforcements from Taicheng to come to us and join forces to wipe out all the thieves. “

Tao Zhutu was very unhappy when he heard this, and said:

"Of course I won't stop Lord Gao from sacrificing his life for the country, but my family guard is still young, why should I accompany you to be buried here."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he hurriedly said:

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense, from the moment I decided to defend the city, I was ready to live and die with Xiangcheng.

Let's talk about tomorrow, everyone is tired today, so let's eat and sleep. “

Then they all stopped talking, ate quietly, and then went back to the gate where they were stationed.

Lan Ziyi stayed in the mansion to rest, the situation was in crisis, Xiangcheng was broken only in the morning and night, Lan Ziyi thought that he would not be able to sleep, but he didn't expect Lan Ziyi to lie on the bed, and his head fell asleep as soon as he rested on the pillow.

Lan Ziyi didn't know how long he slept, anyway, it was pitch black, he only knew that he needed to rest, but the loud noise from the door startled Lan Ziyi.

The first moment Lan Ziyi got up, he thought that it was a thief who broke the city and invaded the mansion, and stretched out his hand to draw his sword to prepare to fight desperately, only to see that it was Tao Zhulu who came in front of him.

Lan Ziyi was in a daze, and it took a lot of effort to stand firm, and before he could speak, he heard Tao Zhulu say excitedly:

"Young Master! The thieves have retired! ”

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he thought he was dreaming, so he hurriedly pinched his thigh, and after realizing that it was not a dream, he asked:

"Second brother, don't talk in your dreams, what's wrong with the thief?"

Tao Zhulu put down the oil lamp in his hand, grabbed Lan Ziyi's hand and said:

"Young master, the thieves have withdrawn! I have just received information from the general of the thief that the forbidden army north of the river and some of the Beizhen army who were called south are rushing to Xiangcheng day and night, and the thieves are pulling out the camp and retreating! ”
