The fierce battle continued until the sun went down in the afternoon, and both sides paid a heavy price, and the battle was always in a stalemate, until in the end Harry Qisheng saw that he could not win, and had to order the retreat of the army.

After the battle, the city wall was full of corpses of soldiers on both sides of the city, and Zhu Yongqing had already sent the people who had organized him to carry the wounded down for treatment, and at the same time, some logistics personnel also began to clean up the battlefield on the city wall with the help of the people, and the engineers also seized the time to repair some damaged sections with the help of the people.

Watching the corpses being carried down, Qin Du couldn't help but think of a poem in his mind: "Zeguo enters the war map, and the people are happy to be happy." Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. It is rumored that the First World War was full of sorrow, and the strong troops on both sides of the strait have not stopped. Whoever says that Cangjiang is always fine, and there has been a long blood struggle recently. ”

Due to extreme mental tension or physical exhaustion, many soldiers relaxed their spirits and were paralyzed on the ground when the enemy's call to collect troops sounded, and some even fainted on the ground.

Qin Dui also felt a little tired, this is since the practice of "King Kong Jue", has not been, the main reason is that the psychological pressure is too great, he checked the situation of each department, arranged for his subordinates to seize the opportunity to rest, and he also tried to relax and relax, in Qin Dui's opinion, one by one, it is the way of civil and martial arts, only those who can rest, will work better.

After Zhu Yongqing counted the losses, his side had a total of 8,335 killed and 11,005 wounded, of which 4,355 were seriously injured. After only one day of fighting, he lost more than one-third of his combat effectiveness, and it seems that in the next few days of fighting, all of the more than 7,000 recruits will inevitably be pushed onto the battlefield.

But the enemy's losses are at least twice as high as their own, and their own soldiers will only truly become qualified fighters after such fierce and vicious battles.

The Humble Battalion. Harry Qisheng, Desima, and Halibaldo sat in the big tent with gloomy faces, "It seems that the enemy's combat effectiveness is still quite strong. We both underestimated our opponents a little, and the commander was also a veteran, but we didn't have the slightest news about the other side, and we fell behind in this regard. Halibaldo said with an ugly face.

"Have we counted our damage?" Harry Qisheng looked at Desima and asked.

"The count has been completed, 15,678 people killed and 7,689 seriously wounded. Minor injuries are not counted. Desima replied.

"Ah~~"

Sighing softly, Harry Qisheng felt a little headache, his intuition was that this battle would not have a satisfactory result if it continued to be fought, the infantry was not enough, the siege equipment was extremely lacking, and the other party seemed to have no intention of taking the initiative to attack at all, and the superior cavalry on his side was not useful at all, and it was not realistic to return to the territory to recruit or transfer infantry and siege equipment. But if you want to withdraw your troops like this, not to mention that Desima and Halibaldo will never agree, even if they find it a little difficult to accept.

"Desima, what do you think?"

After thinking about it, Harry Kaisheng was still a little undecided, so he had to ask Desima and Halibaldo for their advice.

"I think the enemy is very tenacious, but there will certainly not be many of them, otherwise we will be frustrated in our attack. In the event of an attack on us out of the city, our losses will be even greater. So my opinion is to continue to intensify the offensive tomorrow. I guess it's also going to be difficult for the enemy at this point, just to see who is more resilient. I don't believe that our three warriors led an army of 100,000 can't even take a small Tokugawa Castle. ”

Desima still said with confidence, in fact, the main reason is that he is afraid that he will not have the face to meet people if he loses, and in the past ten years, when others came to Tokugawa County to plunder resources, they have returned with a full load. Basically, there is no attrition, and the three of them led 100,000 elite divisions, but they didn't get anything, so they failed miserably, and they really couldn't afford to lose that face.

"Harry Bodo. What about your opinion? Harry Kaisheng looked at Halibaldo again and asked.

"Well, we do have some difficulties now, but if we go back like this, the clansmen will definitely laugh at us, and it will not be easy to explain to the eldest prince. However, it's up to you to decide whether you're the manager. Halibodo's tone was clearly not as firm as Decima's, and he seemed a little hesitant.

Harry Qisheng pondered for a while before making up his mind, "Then we will spend two more days to concentrate on the attack, what Desima said is also reasonable, although we are difficult, the enemy will not be much better, it depends on who can stand up first." ”

On May 13, the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, on the 14th, there was an overwhelming frenzied attack for two consecutive days, and after the Huns paid a great price, the Qin Dui side was a little unable to support it. The walls of the southwest corner had collapsed in several places, and in the face of the wild onslaught of the Huns, it was entirely flesh and blood that held back the enemy's charge. Almost all the power that can be used has been used, and if you persist, you can only let the defenseless people do it.

Looking at the corpses and wounded soldiers everywhere, Qin Duan also felt a little exhausted, there were less than 3,000 of the more than 7,000 recruits and combat effectiveness left, plus the more than 10,000 veterans who still had combat effectiveness, I am afraid it would be difficult to hold on even tomorrow.

Qin Du walked among the soldiers, encouraging the soldiers while cheering with the soldiers with great interest, and the soldiers who were originally very nervous and tired relaxed one after another.

When I came to Xichengtou again, I looked at the people who were busy repairing the city wall, how useful it was, such a simple repair could only sustain a charge. Shangguan Yonglun, my future uncle, now I look at your watch, and all my hopes are pinned on you. Qin Du looked at the northwest direction and thought silently.

At this time, Shangguan Yonglun did not know the difficult situation in Tokugawa Castle at all, and he led 3,000 cavalry to quietly ambush near the logistics supply point of the Huns about fifty miles behind the Hun camp.

In order to prevent the enemy from attacking, Harry Qisheng set up a grain and grass supply point fifty miles behind his battalion and sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison it.

Shangguan Yonglun had been in ambush in the woods here for three days. Three days ago, the scouts discovered this supply point of the enemy's grain and grass, so he led the nearly 3,000 cavalry to lurk here, but the enemy was very well guarded, and the troops were several times more than his own side, so there was no chance.

Shangguan Yonglun admired his boss's accurate judgment very much, and he remembered that before leaving, Qin Duan warned himself that he would either succeed in one fell swoop, or wait for the time to be ripe. In the past two days, the enemy has transferred troops from here twice in succession, and now there are only about 2,000 troops stationed here, and the time is ripe, and it is estimated that Tokugawa Castle will also have some difficulties, and the victory or defeat will be fought here.

Taking advantage of the dark sky in the evening, Shangguan Yonglun led 3,000 cavalry to cover the horse's mouth with a chew, and then wrapped the horse's hooves with a thick cloth, and quietly rushed to the target, seeing that he had reached the edge of the camp, Liang Qiming shouted: "Brothers, rush with me!" ”

With the thunderous sound of iron hooves, the accompanying rockets flew all over the sky, this is a specially made rocket, the arrows with yellow phosphorus on them, capable of spontaneous combustion, immediately caused a skyrocketing fire in the supply depot. This place is full of forage, once it is led, it can not be extinguished at all, in addition to the ensuing unknown number of enemy sneak attack cavalry troops, the unprepared Hun soldiers suddenly became a mess, for a while, fire snakes are all around, thick smoke billows, and the cavalry of the First Cavalry Brigade takes advantage of the situation to cover up, the Hun soldiers can not resist at all, just flee for their lives, in an instant, this extremely important logistics supply depot of the Huns is in ashes.

The Humble Battalion. Harry Keikatsu, Desima, and Halibaldo were obviously in a much better mood than two days ago, and after two days of fierce fighting, the enemy's resistance had been significantly weakened.

However, Harry Kaisheng always felt that something was wrong, the enemy's commander could see that he was not an idle person, and he must have known what the result would be if he continued like this, but so far the other party still has not moved, it seems that he wants to live and die with the city, if so, he would overestimate the wisdom of his opponent.

Seeing that Harry Kaisheng was a little uncertain, Desima and Halibodo, who were talking and laughing, couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Harry, what's wrong with you?" Still Desima asked suspiciously.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I'm always a little bit up and down in my heart, and I always feel like something is going to happen." Harry Qisheng frowned and said, maybe he was too tired these days and thought too much.

"What will happen? The enemy has been surrounded by us like an iron bucket, and I have ordered all my troops to be on strong guard to prevent the enemy from breaking through the siege, just waiting for the turtle to be caught in the urn. In fact, it is better for the enemy to break through, we can take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and it is easier to win. And the intelligence also shows that there are no reinforcements sent from the surrounding territories of the Great Qin Empire, they are just a lone army, and when the time comes, I will make them die without a place to bury. ”

Speaking of the back, Desima has already gritted his teeth a little, after all, the bitter fighting in the past few days has caused heavy losses to the Huns, which is something that everyone is willing to accept.

"Yes, now that the enemy has been firmly trapped in the city by us, and there is no foreign help, I think they can only be captured this time. Harry Qisheng, are you working too hard these days, wait for the capture of the city, and choose a few beautiful women among the captives to relax. The usually cautious Halibodo also appeared more optimistic.

"I hope so."

Harry couldn't think of anything else wrong, maybe he really needed to find a few beautiful women to relax.

Just as the three of them were looking forward to what to do after the city was breached, a soldier who stumbled in shattered their illusions. "Report to the general, it seems that there is a fire in our rear!" (To be continued......)
