The screams in the camp outside Chang'an continued until the early hours of the next morning, when the dark wind that hung over their heads slowly dissipated. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)
At this time, the leaders of the army counted the losses, and now there were more than 300,000 deaths in one night. Among them, nearly 100,000 people died very strangely, and they did not see the slightest scar on their bodies, as if they had fallen asleep naturally.
This situation once again filled the already restless soldiers with panic! Coupled with the fact that he didn't sleep all night, the whole camp was suddenly gloomy. Although the 300,000 dead troops were nothing compared to the number of 7 million troops in the entire camp, this kind of death was so strange that anyone would be worried about it.
In fact, these leaders are also very troublesome, they know the thoughts of their soldiers very well, and these people no longer want to spend the night outside the city. As for the generals, they were a little better, because none of those who died mysteriously were generals. And more of them are soldiers with seventh-order strength, and those of the eighth order only account for about one percent.
But you must know that in the entire camp, the soldiers of the seventh order or below account for the vast majority, and if these people riot, those leaders may have to be beaten to death by the group.
All the generals gathered together for a heated argument and finally decided to take the risk and attack the city. In fact, they also knew that this was not the best time to attack the city, because after nearly two days of running, the soldiers were already exhausted, plus they did not rest all night yesterday, and their spirits were in a state of panic and tension, and now the combat effectiveness of the entire army was less than sixty percent compared with the peak period.
But what if they don't attack the city? Do you want to camp here for the rest of the night? It's a challenge to the soldiers' endurance! After tossing and turning all night last night, without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, he had already paid a terrible price of 300,000 soldiers, and if he stayed another night, the ghost knows what the situation would be.
When these generals returned to their respective armies. The siege has officially begun! They obviously intended to make a single attack, so from the very beginning they sent more than a million troops to launch a full-scale attack on Chang'an City.
Death is the leitmotif of this moment!
Screams......
The sound of the boulder crashing......
The sound of arrows breaking through the wind......
Together, they form a symphony of death that is unique to the battlefield!
As long as these siege soldiers rush to the battlefield, there is no possibility of returning. It's like a demon that can devour life infinitely, and if you go up, you're doomed to death.
Thankfully, these siege troops were not recruits, and although they were terrified, they did not back down! Because they know that if they die on the battlefield, they will only die by themselves, but if they become deserters. His own family members will also be punished. And if you don't escape and are caught by your boss, then you will face a punishment worse than death. These are all means used by various forces to control the army under their command during the war.
There was a kind of madness in the eyes of those generals on the besieging side, and they had already made a decision in their hearts if they couldn't capture Chang'an City today. and immediately retreated. Then turn around and go back to attack the other player city, and then defend your existing territory and form a confrontation with Chang'an City.
At dusk, the generals finally admit that they have failed! In fact, they were mentally prepared for this failure. In the course of the battle, your own army does not even have many chances to attack the city wall, even if it is led by a strong general. In this case, it would be strange if the walls could be captured in one day.
The besieging army retreated! But the retreating soldiers did not have the slightest sorrow of defeat. Instead, there is a joy of relief. Whether it was the strange and bizarre scene that happened last night, or the hopeless siege today, it was not what these soldiers wanted to experience. They really deserve to be happy to have survived this battle. And their robes of more than two million have been lost here forever, and it is difficult to say whether their corpses can be buried or not.
Fortunately for them, the defenders in Chang'an City did not chase after them, so their losses were much lower.
At this time, the army of this Li Xuan force had already been exhausted, if it weren't for the fact that it was still under Chang'an City. They are afraid that they will fall asleep immediately when they fall to the ground. But now, they must leave! And you have to leave as fast as you can.
The generals had already agreed that after withdrawing thirty kilometers, they would camp and rest when they were sure that the enemy had not pursued them. After all, they still have more than four million troops here. It's not something that can be kneaded by anyone.
However, less than twenty kilometers from them, a military general received news that the county town he had been stationed had been attacked and had fallen. According to the news from the county seat, the besieging party was the Baiyun City army.
Could it be that there is another army in Baiyun City ambushing Jing Zhaoyin? Or is this war a ploy from beginning to end?
The face of this military general who lost his old nest was like ashes, but the other generals were also full of apprehension, if the other party could capture one county, he would naturally be able to capture another county. Now, they are still nearly two days away from their respective cities, and the armies of some distant cities have to rely on the closer cities to teleport, which also takes time.
In a hurry? Or camp and rest? It was the hardest decision they ever faced! No one knew better than them what was going on with the current army, and they even felt that if there was any disturbance, the army under their command would be scattered in a hurry. However, if you camp now, it will take longer to return to the cities where you are stationed. In this situation, every minute and every second is so precious.
Maybe it was a wrong decision to return to Chang'an City this time! But this decision was not made by them, but by Li Xuan! They are just Li Xun's subordinates, and the only thing they can do is obey orders. But where is Li Xun now? They had a trace of bad thoughts in their hearts, the enemy's combat effectiveness was so strong, could Li Xun have broken through from Chang'an City in the first place?
In the end, they decided to take a break! Because they know that in the current situation, even if they rush back, they may only be sent to death, it is better to recuperate, adjust their condition, and then find a way to take it back even if the city falls. They really didn't believe that the defense of a county town by the Baiyun City army could reach the level of Chang'an City.
After these generals decided, the army continued to advance for more than ten kilometers, and then found an open place to camp. Of course, in order to ensure safety, they still left a lot of spies along the way, and once the enemy army chased them, they would immediately get up and flee.
