Chapter 84: Precarious
The smell of blood permeated the entire Daliang City.
Luo Zhan, the general of Zhenbei, gave up the territory of everyone in the north and shrunk his forces to Daliang City, which is high and deep, making this the first line to resist the counterattack of Xuanjimen.
The battle has lasted for five days, and the Zhenbei army has suffered heavy losses, especially after the warriors of Xuanjimen participated in the battle, the three lines of defense outside Daliang City have been broken through by the allied forces of the countries.
The last line of defense was also in jeopardy, and Luo Zhan came to the city gate with red eyes, his face full of solemnity.
Although the development of the battle situation like this was expected by everyone, but to this day, the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect had not yet arrived, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Who would have thought that the people of the Xuanji Sect had already arrived for three or five days, but the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect had not yet arrived on the battlefield.
Although the whole Yan Kingdom did not like the Heavenly Sword Sect, and even wanted to destroy the Heavenly Sword Sect, at this moment, they could not help but rely on the Heavenly Sword Sect, without the help of the masters of the Heavenly Sword Sect, it was impossible to defend Daliang City.
will even lose the Beiliang territory that has just been included in the Yan Kingdom.
"General, why don't you rest and come out again. ”
The military advisor Fei Yutian looked worried, Luo Zhan hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, even if he was an iron man, he couldn't stand such fatigue.
There is still a tough battle to be fought next, Luo Zhan, as the soul of the Zhenbei Army, if he falls, he will definitely shake the morale of the army.
Luo Zhan was worried, "Seeing that the last barrier of Daliang City is about to be broken by the people of Xuanji Gate, but the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect have not yet arrived, so how can I sleep." ”
He is the commander of the first army, and at this time, it is even more necessary to stand with the army and jointly defend against foreign enemies.
Looking at the fierce battle below, Fei Yutian said, "Fortunately, the local master hasn't done it yet, otherwise, we would be even more troublesome." ”
If the real masters of the Xuanji Gate participated in the battle, the defense line they set up was not worth mentioning at all.
Thinking about it more than two months ago, in the battle in the central part of Beiliang at that time, the masters of the Xuanji Gate ignored the army of Yan Guo, and even the crossbows fired in unison and failed to stop the five masters at that time from taking Yan Qingxuan directly.
It can be seen that ordinary weapons and manpower cannot stop real martial arts masters at all.
"They are training their disciples through our warriors, while they are waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Sword Sect. ”
It's been five days, and if Luo Zhan, as the commander of the first army, hasn't seen it, then he will have the reputation of a general.
However, even if he saw it, even if the people of the Xuanji Gate did not participate in the war, there were also the imperial coalition forces under the Xuanji Gate to attack his defense line.
Unless he gives up the entire Beiliang and retreats to the Yan Kingdom.
However, the territory they have worked so hard to conquer, is it because they are afraid of the dead that they have to return it to the people of Xuanjimen?
This is impossible, not to mention that the people of Yan Kingdom will not agree, even the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command will not agree.
Yan has never had a precedent for defeat without a fight, and the Zhenbei army does not want to become the laughing stock of the Yan army.
Fei Yutian sighed, as if he wanted to spit out the helplessness in his heart, and reluctantly said, "That's fine, give us some time." ”
Their task is to hold on to Daliang City and hold on until the masters of the Heavenly Sword Sect arrive, and the people of the Xuanji Sect want to use the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom to hone their disciples, which is also in line with the heart of the Zhenbei Army.
It's just that the battles in the past few days have been really fierce, and the losses are very large, and several corps have lost their combat strength because of this and retreated to Daliang City to rest.
But there is no way to do it, who let them Yan Guo have no masters, so they can only fill it with human lives, it's a pity that such a good son!
If, one day, the Yan Kingdom can counterattack, it must slaughter the enemy and avenge the dead son!
Kill!
Kill!
At this moment, a thunderous shout of killing came from outside the city, and the faces of Luo Zhan and Fei Yutian changed drastically, neither of them expected that the alliance army of the Xuanji Gate would organize such a big attack so quickly, was this to break through the third line of defense in one fell swoop?
Seeing the alliance forces of the Xuanji Gate countries rushing to the third line of defense, Luo Zhan's heart struggled, and then his eyes showed a look of determination, and he said, "Order, give up the third line of defense." ”
At this time, the morale of the alliance forces of Xuanjimen was high, and it was not suitable to fight hard, and most importantly, the third line of defense had been broken, and even if it could finally hold the line, it would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Today's Daliang City, every time a soldier is reduced, there is one less strength, since the third line of defense is destined to be impossible to hold, then give it up and retreat to Daliang City.
I'm afraid......
"General, in this case, Daliang City will really be at the forefront outside the city, if those martial arts powerhouses take the opportunity to make a move, we ......" Fei Yutian's voice became trembling, "Can we hold Daliang City......"
The destruction of Daliang City was a heavy blow to both the Zhenbei Army and the Yan Kingdom.
At this time, Yan Guo had just been promoted, and if he was defeated, he would not dare to imagine the consequences.
"Command!"
Luo Zhan said resolutely, it was impossible for him to watch more than 100,000 soldiers give up their lives in vain for an almost impossible defense line, not to mention that they still have Daliang City, which is high and deep!
"Yes!"
Fei Yutian immediately went to give the order, and as Luo Zhan's military order came out, the defenders of the third line of defense, except for the soldiers who had broken off, retreated to Daliang City in an orderly manner.
Soon, the third line of defense was breached, and Daliang City was completely exposed to the iron hooves of the allied forces.
"Attack!"
After breaking through the third line of defense, the footsteps of the allied forces of the countries did not stop, rushing towards Daliang City.
"Shoot the arrows!"
On the city of Daliang, the officers of the Zhenbei Army gave orders to the soldiers under their command, and the army on the city wall suddenly moved.
The allied forces of the countries held up their shields to resist the rain of arrows shot from Daliang City, and advanced step by step, slowly approaching Daliang City.
Not only that, but the strong crossbows of the alliance of the countries also began to play their role, constantly firing strong crossbows at Daliang City from a distance to suppress the archers on Daliang City.
Kill!
After about a quarter of an hour, the allied forces finally advanced under the city walls, erected siege ladders, and climbed up.
Of course, the Zhenbei army could not let the allied forces of the countries succeed and prevent them from killing on the city walls.
After nearly ten minutes of fighting, the allied forces suffered heavy losses and took the lead in withdrawing from the battle.
But at this moment, the people in Daliang City did not dare to relax a little.
They all knew that the attack just now was just a simple tentative attack made by the enemy army after taking the third line of defense, taking advantage of the high morale.
Although it will soon be dark, no one knows whether the people of the allied forces will continue to attack the city.
If the siege continues at night, the battle will become more difficult.
Moreover, there are some sect masters in the opposing camp, and if they participate in the attack, it will become more difficult to defend the city.
Daliang City is in danger!
