"Lord, it seems that the Goguryeo people are determined to win Xi'an Ping for me!"

The defenders finally repelled the first wave of Goguryeo's attack, and took advantage of the gap between Feng Yi and Yushi County to order two civil officials to appear beside Wei Shuo again. At this time, the Xiake of the Yu clan couldn't help but feel very happy about Wei Shuo's arrival, otherwise the Goguryeo army would have broken through the city at this time!

"Yes, under the siege of the Goguryeo people, regardless of casualties, the casualties of the soldiers were not small. I don't know where Lord Speedaru went with the cavalry at this time? Have you found the enemy's food and grass? ”

What they said was the only 3,000 cavalry, and after completing the raid, Speedaru was ordered by Wei Shuo to withdraw outside the city before the arrival of the Goguryeo army, and their task was to find an opportunity to burn the enemy's grain and grass and win a chance to repel the Goguryeo army.

Wei Shuo looked at the reorganized Goguryeo army outside the city, and said with a solemn expression: "Our army is scarce, no matter what, we must persist until the commander of Sumaru burns the enemy's grain and grass, otherwise we have no chance to defeat the enemy at all." ”

"Knock knock knock ......" A rapid drum sounded, and after a short rest, the Goguryeo army launched a new offensive again.

"Two, let's go down and hide for a while, I'm afraid the enemy's attack will be more fierce next!"

Feng Yi and Qi Shi Xiake knew that the war was going on, and they couldn't help at all, so they had to hurriedly go down to the city, and they didn't forget to ask the guards to protect Wei Shuo's safety.

"Brothers, the time has come to test us, but don't be afraid, as long as we work together, we will be able to defeat the invading Goguryeo! Come, kill the enemy with me! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The rebels swarmed like a tidal wave, climbing the wall through ladders, and the defenders resisted with the help of the terrain to prevent the rebels from occupying the wall.

"Kill"

Wei Shuo roared, clenched the ring head knife with both hands, took a step forward, and slashed the head of a Goguryeo man who had just been exposed in half. Blood splattered all over him, and in an instant he became a bloody man. If it was a year ago, Wei Shuo would never have such courage, but after going through many battles in the past year, he would have already become hard-hearted, and there was no difference between killing people and killing chickens.

Wei Shuo relied on his strength to sink his body, and danced a ring-headed knife vigorously, and the sword flowers brought up bursts of blood rain, killing the enemy without the power to fight back. The courage of the main general obviously brought great contagion to the defenders, as if each person had added a little strength, and the Goguryeo people were defeated and retreated for a while.

Nengchen and Wang Xiang couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at the unstoppable Wei Shuo, they didn't expect that the lord, who looked polite and polite on weekdays, would have such a high skill. Especially the Karasuma people, the Hu people worship warriors the most, and his eyes when he looked at Wei Shuo were full of admiration and admiration.

Although Wei Shuo was brave and good at fighting, in the face of the swarming Goguryeo people, it had little impact on the overall battle situation. As time went on, the casualties of the defenders continued to increase, and the entire city was caught in hand-to-hand combat, and for a time there was some danger. Wei Shuo took his own guards to reinforce everywhere on the city wall, and as long as there was any danger, he would take him to kill him as soon as possible.

But even so, under the continuous attacks of the Goguryeo, the weak strength of the defenders gradually became the Achilles' heel, and there were constant dangers everywhere in the city wall, even if Wei Shuo brought his own guards to reinforce everywhere to no avail.

"Good! Well played! Someone came, go and tell the Minister of State, just say that the defenders are about to be unable to hold on, let him send some more people up, strive to take Xi'an Ping as soon as possible, and be angry for the widow! Gao Yifu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw his soldiers pouring up the city wall, and wanted to take the opportunity to take Xi'an Ping in one fell swoop.

After the chamberlain informed the Prime Minister of King Mikawa's will, Kurasuke Li frowned and said, "Please tell the king that the morale of the defenders in the city is high, and it is impossible to go down in one go, so you must be prepared for a long-term siege." ”

After all, Kurasuke is well-informed, he observes more carefully than the young and vigorous King Mikawa, don't look at the Goguryeo people at this time slightly have the upper hand, in fact, it is all filled in with life. If it weren't for the superiority of troops, I am afraid that they would have been defeated by the Jin army in the city.

Siege warfare has always been the most tragic and difficult battle in the era of cold weapons, unless there is a sneak attack, you can only rely on human lives to fight little by little.

After the last temptation, Cang Zhuli knew that the Jin army in the city was by no means a rabble, and if he wanted to seize the city, he could only slowly consume the defenders in the city by virtue of the superiority in troops, and wait until the defenders' will to resist was gradually disintegrated, and Xi'an Ping would go down without a fight.

"This ......" The chamberlain couldn't help but hesitate after listening to the words of the prime minister.

"Huh?" Cang Zhuli stared at him and said, "Do you still have any questions?" ”

"No, no, the slave will go to report to the king." Seeing that the minister was angry, the chamberlain hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Kurasuke is the minister of power to the government and the opposition, not only deposed the king, but also made Goguryeo's governance prosperous, even the prestige and power of King Mikawa in the country are not as good as Kurasuke. How dare a little chamberlain compete with the kingdom? Don't look at him as a close attendant of King Mikawa, if the prime minister wants to sanction him, even King Mikawa has no choice.

After listening to the reply of the chamberlain, although Gao Yifu, the king of Mikawa, was a little unhappy, he knew that he was not as good as the military and political Cang Zhuli, so he just pinched his nose and accepted the advice of the prime minister.

This battle lasted for two hours, from the morning to the afternoon, and the killing was dark, and the ghosts cried wolf. The casualties on both sides were extremely serious, with nearly 1,500 casualties among the 5,000 defenders, of whom nearly 40 percent were killed and only 20 percent were lightly wounded.

However, the enemy army did not reap any benefits, and was driven down by the Jin army several times when they attacked the city, and finally suffered more than 16,000 casualties, and the ratio of casualties between the enemy and us was ten to one. Although Goguryeo's casualties were more than ten times that of the Jin army, it can be considered that they were the besieging side, which was acceptable to both King Mikawa and Kurasuke.

Taking advantage of the short truce, both sides seized the time to eat, rest and replenish their strength in order to meet the next battle. When Wei Shuo came down from the city wall, the whole person had turned into a bloody person, and his whole body exuded a terrible aura.

"Lord, you, are you alright?" Looking at Wei Shuo, who was covered in blood, Feng Yi and Feng Shi Xiake hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"No, no...... It's okay, just ...... It's just a little bit off-forced. Wei Shuo met the concerned eyes of the two, squeezed out a smile and replied, who knew that as soon as the words fell, he almost fell to the ground under his feet, but fortunately, Feng Yiyan quickly stepped forward to help him.

"The first hand-to-hand combat, I didn't expect to fight for so long, and I was so weak that my legs and hands were weak!" Wei Shuo leaned on Feng Yi and said with a bitter smile. Let's be honest before that. Wei Shuo really didn't expect that the fight would be so exhausting. Now he thinks back to the scene of hundreds of rounds of fighting in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is really not something ordinary people can do.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the lord to be so brave, but it opened my eyes! After this battle, the soldiers of the city regarded the lord as a god! Feng Yi supported Wei Shuo and praised that Wei Shuo's fight today greatly increased the morale of the defenders, and completely replaced the Xiake family as the real master of Xi'anping.

At this time, Nengchen and Wang Xiang also walked over with each other's arms, the two of them did not have a special physique like Wei Shuo, and they were both somewhat injured.

"It doesn't matter what you two are injured, right?"

"Please rest assured, the lord is a small injury, don't delay the next battle to kill the enemy." Nengchen and Wang Xiang patted their chests and shouted in unison.

"After this battle, presumably the enemy has also figured out our reality, and I am afraid that the enemy will not launch a large-scale siege battle in a short time. However, I think they will adopt a long-term siege and trap us in the city. ”

"Well, Zizhuan is reasonable, the enemy will definitely change his strategy when he sees that it is not easy to attack the city. Next, it is time for the cavalry outside the city to play the leading role, hoping that they will find the enemy's food and grass as soon as possible and burn it, so that we can hope to defeat the Goguryeo. ”

Sure enough, what happened next was as Feng Yi expected, Goguryeo saw that the casualties of the strong attack were too great, so he had to adopt a long-term siege method in an attempt to trap the Jin army inside. However, they didn't know that Wei Shuo had hoarded enough food and equipment in the city before the war, enough for the people in the city to eat and drink for half a year.
