"Wansheng~"

"Wansheng~"

The soldiers of the Shangguan Army who were attacking the fortified positions retreated like a tide, and a burst of cheers broke out from the gap in the wall to the top and bottom of the wall.

"Hoo ......"

Song Jinghao breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground as if he had collapsed, trying to calm his tense heartstrings, and when he looked at Wei Xian's figure on the wall, he waved at him regardless of whether he could see it or not.

After a short time, Wei Xian got down from the wall and sat down next to Song Jinghao and asked, "General Song, what do you think is the current situation?" ”

Song Jinghao didn't answer his question directly: "General Wei, how many defenders are there on your side now?" ”

Wei Xian thought for a while and said: "There are currently less than 10,000 soldiers who can fight, and the rest are either dead or seriously injured, or their morale is low, I am afraid that forcing them over will affect the war......"

When Song Jinghao heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Wei Xian: "There are more than 8,000 people in our department, less than 20,000 in conjunction with your department, and the Shangguan army outside is at least more than 150,000, if you want to continue to fight and hold on until the reinforcements come......"

At this point he paused and softly spat out two words: "It's hard." ”

Wei Xian looked around nervously, but fortunately, no one cared about what he said here, so he relieved himself and said to Song Jinghao: "General Song, how can you say such frustrating words?" You're not going to leave Linyuan Pass, are you? ”

Song Jinghao shook his head and said: "No, I thought, can you tell Governor Wei, let's retreat to the inner city, you see such a big gap, the rebel army is pouring up like ants, continue like this, we won't be able to withstand the ...... for long"

Wei Xian said: "But the inner city defense is not as strong as the outer wall, and it can't hold the ...... for long."

"That's better than sitting here and waiting to die!" Song Jinghao sighed and continued, "General Wei, in this situation, please forgive me, if there are no reinforcements, we will definitely not be able to hold the Linyuan Pass, and in my estimation, we can only hold it until the early morning......

"The rebel army is attacking again~"

Just when Wei Xian wanted to cheer up Song Jinghao, Wei Xian's soldiers, who had been watching the enemy's movements on the wall, roared loudly.

"Heh......"

Song Jinghao and Wei Xian glanced at each other, laughed bitterly in unison, and immediately stood up and continued to go to the front headquarters of their respective posts to meet the enemy.

"That's ......"

In the darkness, the heavy footsteps of Shangguanjun attracted the attention of Wei Xian, who had climbed the city wall, and from the scattered firelight, he could roughly witness the marching military formation.

I saw a dazzling cold light flickering dozens of steps away, it was the spear formation in the Shangguan Army, which imitated the formation of the Jingwei Battalion, and was slowly approaching the broken gap with neat steps......

"Longbowmen prepare!"

"Archer prepare!"

Seeing this scene, the Song and Wei defenders took their own initiative, and at the same time ordered their crossbowmen to aim the arrows in their hands at the slowly approaching spear array......

"Drink ......"

The slowly approaching spearmen all aimed their erected spears at the Song archers at the gap.

"Arrow~"

"Arrow~"

"Tiger~"

"Ding~Puff~Ding~Puff~"

The longbowmen and the archers on the city wall shot at those spear formations in unison under the orders of Wei Xian and Song Jinghao.

Immediately, there was a clear sound of arrows colliding with metal in the darkness, and the sound of soldiers falling to the ground converged......

"Don't panic, keep going, the archers will shoot down at those birdmen on the city wall!"

After dodging an oncoming longbow and arrow, Xia Lan angrily scolded the somewhat chaotic formation, and then ordered the archers who followed closely behind him to start firing back at the city walls.

"飕~"

"Poof~"

"Ah~"

Above the castle tower, Wei Xian, who was directing the army to fight back, was shot through his left arm by a cold feather arrow, and he grinned in pain.

"General, are you alright?"

"Leave me alone, get ready to roll the wood, throw whatever you have, and don't let those spearmen get close to the rift!"

Wei Xian pushed away the guards who came to support, broke the tail of the arrow on his arm with force, and then pulled out the arrow, letting the blood stain his arm red......

"Song Jiajun, go up!"

"Ha~"

At the gap, the Song family's sword and shield hand, who heard Song Jinghao's order, rushed to the spear formation under the slope.

"Puff puff~"

"Ah~"

The four-meter-long spear in the Shangguan army stabbed the Song soldiers who were swooping a few steps away to the ground one by one, and the blood quickly spread on the stone......

"Damn!"

When Song Jinghao saw this scene, his heart was immediately like a knife, those soldiers of the Song family could not be said to be brave, but the terrible spear made them fall in a pool of blood before they could exert their martial arts, becoming a stepping stone for the soldiers of the Shangguan Army to advance.

"Smash me!"

Seeing that Song Jinghao's troops were about to be unable to withstand it, Wei Xianqiang endured the pain, personally pushed a piece of wood to a battlement, and then lifted it hard, regardless of the flying arrows at the head of the city, and smashed it down.

"Bang~Bang!"

"Ah......h

The position where the wood fell was just above a spear formation, which instantly caused a commotion, making these seemingly rigorous formations appear a hint of confusion.

"......"

Due to excessive exertion, Wei Xian only felt a heart-wrenching pain in his left arm, and after secretly cursing to himself, he squatted down against the battlement wall, and shouted at the soldiers around him.

"That's it, keep smashing me! Come on! ”

The soldiers who heard Wei Xian's order gritted their teeth fiercely, lifted all the available gravel and wood around them, and threw them at the crowd under the wall at the risk of being killed by arrows, and for a while a wail sounded above and below the wall.

"General, you're wounded, I'll bandage your ......"

Zhao Shiren, the chief officer of the logistics department, came to Wei Xian's side with a bow, looked at his bleeding left arm, and immediately tore off a piece of his military uniform and bandaged him carefully.

"What are you doing, why don't you go and help...... Shhhh......h

"Hehe, General Wei, you have to take your arm more leisurely in the future......"

After Zhao Shiren finished bandaging a dead knot, he got up and said with a smile: "That's it for the time being, general......"

"Poof~"

Before Zhao Shiren finished speaking, a wolf's tooth arrow pierced through his temple, breaking his skull open, and the flying filth splashed Wei Xian's face.

"Lao Zhao!"

Looking at Zhao Shiren, who was still bandaging his wounds a moment ago, but was killed by an arrow in an instant, Wei Xian exclaimed in surprise and stopped him in his arms the moment he fell to the ground.

"I'm rough of your grandma!"

After confirming that Zhao Shiren was out of breath, Wei Xian roared angrily, his eyes turned red, and he immediately got up, ignoring the sharp pain from his arm, carried a broken corner of rejection on his shoulders and slammed it into the crowd under the wall.

"General Song, it's not okay to go on like this, we can't stand it anymore~"

Seeing that the spear array had already entered the gap and occupied a geographical advantage, a guard said to Song Jinghao, who had retreated from the slope, with a sad face.

Song Jinghao looked at the thick spear approaching and the miserable howls that kept sounding on the broken wall, and his face had become extremely cold.

"No, the soldiers are already on the verge of collapse, all withdraw, don't rush! Tell Wei Xian to retreat to the inner city, the outer city can't hold it! ”

Seeing that the gap had fallen, Song Jinghao did not send troops forward to make senseless sacrifices, but wisely let the army withdraw to the inner city.

"I am willing to die for Lord Wei~"

"Who dares to hurt Lord Wei~"

At this moment, there was an extremely frenzied shout from the inner city, which made the hearts of the soldiers of Song Jinghao's troops who were about to retreat, as well as those spearmen in the gap, tremble.
