It took more than two hours to clean up the battlefield, and it was already noon, because the weather was getting hotter, and the corpses that had died in battle were already rotting.

When Long Qifeng told the soldiers to retreat, the spirit witch set fire to the pile of corpses of the righteous dynasty and began to burn them.

During this time, some soldiers sent the golden nail mace that surrounded the red dragon, but the golden nail mace was no longer good, bent into a bow, even if it was repaired, whether it still had the original power was a problem, because the rune array on it was basically destroyed.

Meng Huan Chilong had no choice but to throw the mace into the storage bag, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this set of golden armor and weapons is only good-looking, and it is not much use in actual combat, only a few battles, these weapons and armor have been completely destroyed. It's just that he didn't expect that the basic skills of the people fighting with him were higher than him, and some weapons were damaged, so it should be said that he was lucky.

When he returned to the city tower, he found that the faces of the city guards and Teng were not good-looking, and they all had gloomy faces.

He looked left and right and asked, "Is there something I don't know?"

Long Qifeng frowned and did not rush to speak. Teng Xinzun next to him glanced at Long Qifeng and said cautiously: "According to the summary just now, the city guards have killed 2,345 people, 3,721 people are seriously injured, and more than 5,000 people are slightly injured. ”

Teng Xinzun took the initiative to answer this question, because he was grateful to Meng Huan Chilong, if it wasn't for Meng Huan Chilong who led people to the city wall and reacted in time, he was afraid that Yitian City would be broken today, and he gave him the credit just now, and pulled him to regain military power. This is very important to him, at least he can explain to his family, and he has not lost the command of the soldiers of Heavenly City.

Meng Huan Chilong didn't expect that so many people died defending the city, and the death and serious injuries combined lost nearly 6,000 people, which means that the city guards did not have these combat effectiveness, which was one-fifth of the total strength of the city guards.

This darkened his face, and if there were a few more fights, the city guards would be gone. Moreover, he just saw that there were only about 10,000 people in the Duanzheng Dynasty who died, and in comparison, this battle against Tiancheng did not take advantage. Judging from the battle, the experience and combat power of the city guard soldiers are obviously inferior to the other party, and those large number of casualties should be when the city guards rush to the city wall.

When he thought like this, he saw that Liao Shusheng was also staring at him in the city tower. He immediately felt that his algorithm was wrong, if the casualties of the civilian army were also very high, he was afraid that this battle would not take advantage, and at most he could only hold Yitian City.

I remember that the People's Army was the first to rush to the city wall, but they only had more than 4,000 people, and if there were too many casualties, it would be a blow to the People's Army. So his eyes were on Liao Shusheng, hoping that he could give him an accurate message.

When Uncle Liao saw the leader looking at him, he immediately stepped forward and saluted. "Report to the leader, the People's Army this time killed 452 people, seriously wounded 76 people, and more than 500 slightly wounded. ”

Hearing this number, he breathed a sigh of relief, at least the casualties were not as serious as he thought. He himself was slightly injured, and he hadn't been treated yet, but that number sounded a little weird, and he always felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't think of it for a while, so he looked at Liao Shusheng again.

Uncle Liao saw him looking at him, so he said again: "There is no problem with statistics, we only have so many seriously injured." ”

These words made him understand that it was not normal for the civilian army to suffer fewer serious injuries than deaths. "Why?"

Liao Wenhong, who was standing on the side, said: "Most of the people's troops come from the mountains and forests, they have seen the destruction of their homeland, and they have hatred for the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty, so they are very desperate when they fight, as long as they are hit hard, they will fight for their lives. ”

The military positions and officials in the city tower didn't speak when they heard this, not only this desperate idea, even if the casualties were lower than the city guards, that is to say, the combat effectiveness of the people's army was stronger than the city guards, at least the clansmen from the mountains and forests were all killed, unlike those city guards.

The red dragon's breathing was a little heavier, and then slowly regained its composure. "Liao Wenhong, bring my words to the people's army, when you want them to fight for their lives, think about the clansmen, think about our tomorrow, and rectify the invasion of the dynasty, it does not mean that we will not live a good life, but we will live a better life. Therefore, the people's army is not allowed to fight for their lives unless they have to, and if they survive, they can kill more upright dynasty people and save more clansmen. ”

Liao Wenhong saluted and said, "Chief, I know, I will definitely tell them." ”

He nodded, did not answer, but looked at Long Qifeng. Today, the city guards are pouring out, with more than 30,000 people, plus 4,000 civilian troops, and such high casualties, it is obvious that the combat strength is not equal. Even if a large number of soldiers are recruited later, because there is no time to train, I am afraid that I will not be able to compete with the people of the upright dynasty outside the city.

Everyone felt that the people of the Righteous Dynasty actually underestimated the resistance of Yitian City, and they just attacked the city in a hurry, wanting to quickly attack the city wall, and then occupy Yitian City, and they had no preparation at all. If the people of the upright dynasty are pressed again, I am afraid that if it is not the current situation, the city guards may not be able to resist it. Now the focus is on reinforcements, and there are also experienced soldiers, but where are the reinforcements? Where are those experienced soldiers?

Long Qifeng guessed what the eyes of the red dragon meant. But he was also at a loss, not knowing where the reinforcements were, so he could only look away expressionlessly and no longer look at him.

He knew what this expression meant, calmed down for a moment, and said, "Lord City Guard, although this battle was lucky to repel the people of the Righteous Dynasty, the situation is not optimistic, I don't know what plan Lord City Guard has for the future?"

Long Qifeng frowned and thought for a while, and said: "I know that the situation is not optimistic now, if there are no reinforcements, I am afraid that Yitian City will really not be able to hold it, but I have no good way, I can only recruit the military position, and everyone will discuss it again." ”

He didn't speak, just nodded, and he didn't have a good way to deal with the current situation.

None of the surrounding military positions and officials answered, as if they were waiting for him to make a decision. This made him feel that this group of people was shameless, all of them were older than him, and they had been in the army longer than him, but when it was critical, no one could have a way.

Perhaps the dull atmosphere in the city tower made him feel irritated, and he unconsciously walked out of the city tower and stood on the edge of the city wall, looking at the military camp of the Duanzheng Dynasty in the distance, and looking at the corpses of the soldiers of the Duanzheng Dynasty who were still burning.

After a while, Long Qifeng walked over, stood beside him, looked into the distance and said, "I'm afraid that the Duanzheng Dynasty knows that we have no reinforcements, and we may desperately attack the city below." ”

Regarding such an idea, Meng Winding Red Dragon had thought about it, but it was not something he had to consider. For him, the main problem was how to stop the upright dynasty from attacking the city. Regardless of whether there are reinforcements or not, the people of the Duan Dynasty will capture Yitian City, this is part of their plan, and they will never be satisfied with just occupying the Tianshan Land outside the city.

It was the end of the morning, the sun was high in the sky, there was not a trace of wind, perhaps it was the fierce battle that made the air around it freeze, only the strong bloody gas, slowly flowing.

From a distance, you can see that in the military camp of the Duan Zheng Dynasty, there are many soldiers who are constantly shaking, as if they are preparing for another attack, and more soldiers of the Duan Zheng Dynasty are sitting outside the barracks to rest, and a few screams of pain are heard from time to time.

In Menghuan Chilong's view, this is just a temporary calm, maybe it won't be long before the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty will attack the city again, and there will be a scene of flesh and blood flying under the city.

"I have three worries, one is what means the people of the Dynasty used to rush across the moat, they did not achieve good results just now, they may change their methods, as long as a large number of soldiers rush to the city, we may not be able to stop it. The other is whether there are people like Mohandas, if there are two more, they can easily tear through the defense. The third is that we don't have enough manpower, our combat effectiveness is not good, and a large number of soldiers are killed in battle, but I am afraid that our morale will be gone, and this city will not be able to hold it. ”

Long Qifeng was silent for a while, and suddenly slapped his palm on the wall battlement, and scolded: "These damn family tycoons are intent on giving the great country to the people of the upright dynasty. As long as I don't die, I will definitely kill these moths first, so that the Wu Clan Kingdom will also change the sky. ”

He glanced back at Long Qifeng, and then continued to look outside the city, as if he hadn't heard this rebellious sentence at all, but said calmly: "Don't forget, you are also a member of the family, I'm afraid you can't do it if you want to, right? ”

Long Qifeng's body stiffened, he slowly turned his head, looked at Meng Huan Chilong and was silent for a while, and then said word by word with wide eyes: "People are different from people, if I am a witch king, I will never want such a family, for a little selfish gain, I can ignore the country and ignore the life and death of the people, then what do you want this country to do?"

"Wait until you become the witch king, now you need to solve the immediate problem, how to fight the upright dynasty people outside the city, when will there be reinforcements?"

Long Qifeng suddenly said: "If there really is a day when I become a witch king, will you oppose me or support me?"

Meng Winding Red Dragon was also stunned, staring at Long Qifeng with small eyes and blinking a few times, before he said calmly: "I am a mountain man, whoever is a witch king is the same, as long as I think about the witch country and be kind to the mountain people, I think I am a good witch king." He didn't say whether he supported it or not, but just said that the common people had an attitude towards the emperor.

Long Qifeng listened to Meng Winding Red Dragon's words, his face turned red all of a sudden, his breathing became short, and his heart churned violently like boiling water, as if he had found a goal for his future.

His voice trembled a little. "What you said is true?"

Meng Huan Chilong glanced at Long Qifeng a little strangely, and then muttered: "Originally, whoever is a witch king is the same, as long as we have food and clothing, we will recognize this king." Besides, how many people in the world have seen the Witch King, and what does it have to do with us?"
