"Whoever is coming, report it quickly!"

Just as Commander Li was about to give the order to attack, someone on the wall of the inner city shouted to his side.

Li Dangxiong raised his knife and said: "I am Li Dangxiong, the commander of the second regiment of the Xia Yuancheng Standing Corps, quickly open the city gate and surrender!" ”

"Commander Li, I have admired the name for a long time, and Liu Zhibang, the patriarch of the lower Han nationality, has been waiting here for a long time......"

Li Dangxiong looked at the place where the voice came from, and a man in white was smiling at him on the high arrow tower in the southwest corner of the inner city.

Liu Zhibang looked at Li Dangxiong and said: "Commander Li, you have gone deep into my Han city, and the reinforcements have been blocked, and you still don't give up your weapons and surrender?" ”

Li Dangxiong's eyes widened angrily: "Hmph, your elite are all outside the city to stop my army, there are no soldiers in the city, the people who want to surrender should be you, brothers, give me ......"

Liu Zhibang shook his head: "If you don't see the coffin, don't cry, order the attack!" ”

Li Dangxiong's subordinates just wanted to wade across the river to attack the inner city, only to hear a copper trumpet, a sound of wooden planks pushing open from the surrounding high-rise buildings, and then countless sharp arrows came out of the windows of the high-rise buildings on both sides.

"Ah...... Ahhhh......h

In less than ten seconds, a third of Li Dangxiong's men fell.

One of the guards used a shield to protect Li Dangxiong and shouted to him: "Regiment commander, let's withdraw!" ”

"Ah......h

Li Dangxiong looked back, and at this time, hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared on the inner wall of Liao Liao, who originally only had more than a dozen people in Liao Liao, all of them led their bows and shot at their subordinates, but it was just a round of arrows, and dozens of his subordinates fell.

"Tiger ......"

Li Dangxiong turned his head again and looked at the west gate in horror, at this time, Long Jie and the shield soldiers had already formed a formation and pushed towards his side, surrounded on all sides, and it was already a dead state.

Li Dangxiong was no longer able to fight at this time, and shouted loudly: "Truce war!" I give up! ”

A piece of white cloth was carried by a spear and stretched out from behind the shield, and Liu Zhibang waved his hand, and after a short brass trumpet sound, the attack immediately stopped.

"Disarm them and guard them, and the others will go up to the city wall to cover the first and second battalions to return to the city......" Liu Zhibang finished speaking, and then turned his gaze to the battlefield outside the city.

And outside the West City, the five thousand well-equipped Xia Yuan City Standing Army is like an endless wave, constantly impacting the shield soldiers of the first and second battalions, the dense shields of the shield soldiers are dead against the enemy troops in the front, and the spears continue to stab out from the gaps in the shields and retract, harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers in Xia Yuan City, but the continuous attacks, many of the shield soldiers have fallen, and the front has to slowly shrink back, leaving corpses in one place.

"Haha, see how long they can hold out, order the front army, no matter how many casualties they pay, they must be dragged back, and they can't be allowed to retreat into the city......" Li Jun looked at the retreating Han army, and the negative emotions of the defeat in the battle just now were swept away, and it seemed that victory was just around the corner.

Seeing this situation, Liu Zhibang ordered: "Order Ma San, attack with all your might!" ”

Ma San looked at the swaggering order flag on the arrow tower, turned around and shouted: "Fire bombs, all-out attack ......"

"Yes!"

Just as the Dragon Slayer Corps was about to break through the defense line of the Han army, the rain of arrows on the city wall suddenly doubled, and a ball of fireball flew up from the city, smashing towards the army of Xia Yuan City with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

"Ah...... Fire ......"

"Ah...... Ah......h

The fireball with a diameter of nearly one meter fell from the sky, and after landing, it continued to roll forward, plowing a fire ditch in the army of Xia Yuancheng, and suddenly the soldiers of Xia Yuancheng were in chaos, countless cries sounded, and the rain of arrows on the city wall was overwhelming, and a large number of soldiers fell, finally allowing the first and second battalions of the Han army to take a breath.

Honk...... Honk...... Honk......

Hearing the trumpet, Hong Tai shouted to Ah Meng: "Ah Meng, you withdraw first, and I will break it off!" ”

Ah Meng replied: "No, Uncle Hong Tai, let me come, you quickly take someone to retreat......"

"If you still think I'm an uncle, listen to me!"

Ah Meng looked at Hong Tai's insistent eyes, sighed, lifted his mace, and swept away the two Dragon Slayer Corps soldiers in front of him with shields.

"A battalion withdraws ......," Ah Meng gave the order to retreat.

"Tortoiseshell ......"

"Tiger ......"

The first battalion quickly contracted, turning into a giant turtle and slowly retreating, and the wings of the second battalion began to retract.

"My lord, the loss is too great, withdraw the troops!" Hei Chai saw a large area of Xia Yuancheng's soldiers fall in the sea of fire, and couldn't help but persuade.

Li Jun watched unwillingly as the two tortoiseshell formations slowly retreated into the city, while his own soldiers struggled in the extremely dense rain of arrows and a sea of fire, especially the dragon slaying corps that rushed to the forefront had been reduced by nearly one-third, and his heart was dripping blood.

Li Jun had no choice but to order in a deep voice: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

The dense arrow array was still chasing the enemy, and the fireballs that kept flying joined the fireballs that had landed earlier, burning the battlefield outside the Han Xicheng into a sea of fire, and countless soldiers in Xia Yuancheng cried and told their mothers to run back to their positions, trampling each other, and the casualties were even worse.

Night finally fell, the flames were still burning, the stench of the corpses being charred was blown by the sea breeze for a while, Li Jun stood on a high place like a stone statue, looking at the Han city, silent for a long time.

Heichai waved off the herald, walked to Li Jun's side, and said, "My lord, do you want to listen to the battle report!" ”

"Say!"

Black Guess reported: "In today's battle, 973 people were killed in the slave camp, 3,269 were wounded, 2,168 people in the battalion were wiped out, 1,143 people in the second regiment, only 67 people escaped, and the fate of the rest is unknown......"

Li Jun said coldly: "Talk about the casualties of the Dragon Slaying Corps ......"

Heichai swallowed his saliva and continued: "The Dragon Slayer Corps lost 647 people, injured 951 people, and ...... others."

"What about enemy casualties?" Li Jun said with a strong suppression of anger.

Heichai was silent for a while, and replied bitterly: "According to the report from the front, it is estimated that the enemy has killed more than 200 people and wounded more than 400 people......"

Li Jun gritted his teeth and said: "That is to say, today our side lost 6,000 people in one day, and the other party only lost two or three hundred people?" ”

Heichai timidly replied, "This doesn't include our seriously injured ......"

"That's enough......" Li Jun glared at Heichai and shouted: "Tomorrow's truce, hurry up and make siege equipment......"

Heichai hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, my lord......"

At this time, in the Han nationality meeting hall, Liu Zhibang also listened to the report on the battle situation, the hall was a little dull, no one spoke anymore, but everyone's eyes were fixed on Liu Zhibang on the main seat.

"In today's battle, our side is considered a big victory, and the enemy has lost more than 8,000 combat power, and our side ...... 286 were killed and 426 wounded, of which the Agni Cavalry Regiment suffered the heaviest casualties, with 98 killed and 190 wounded...... Captain Xia paid a huge price for today's victory, and we thank him......"
