The note was quickly deciphered by the code-breaking room, and the contents were sorted out and copied and sent to He Ting's hands.

After reading the content, He Ting couldn't help frowning: It seems that the beauties we bought at a great price are still worth it. But who are these killers they're sending, and how do I find them?

In the pre-war preparations, the drain was not forgotten. Luo Ming requested that the only direct exit be designed as a large compound with high walls on all sides, so that it could better ambush and block the invading enemy.

During the pre-war battlefield topographical survey, Luo Ming and several senior generals repeatedly discussed the defense of this place. It is generally believed that blocking this place is not the solution, and only by luring the enemy into depth and actively defending is the correct solution.

After Luo Ming withdrew, Mo Jinming, the leader of the blackshirt team who took the initiative to stay behind, took the initiative to bring some people to stay here and wait for the people of the Northern Alliance to come and assault.

'Their first attack is going to be proud. I'm here to surprise them. The harder the first blow, the greater the impact on their morale. Mo Jinming said very confidently.

They have been waiting here for three days.

When the Tiger and Leopard Army assault death squad of the Northern Alliance finally rushed out of the iron gate, they met him with his signature smile that was not salty or light: "Mo Jinming of the blackshirt team below, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a row of deadly crossbow arrows roared towards the officers and soldiers of the Tiger and Par Army. Many died before they even had time to scream. The people behind didn't know it yet, and squeezed forward desperately. Soon, quite a few corpses piled up at the door. I could hear someone in the passage shouting, "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, there's an ambush ahead!"

But there were still outlaws who rushed out of the door, shouting and screaming, trying to make a bloody way out. But their armor is simply vulnerable in the face of the "legend of death". After a few futile charges, the shouts of retreat were finally heard from inside.

Mo Jinming waved his hand, and the people standing behind the sniper team threw the various wine and oil bottles in their hands into the door. After collecting the arrows that were still available, the Montenegro team retreated to an iron gate under the high wall. The rest of the infantry began to sprinkle oil and wine in the compound, and finally they threw the oil-soaked wood all over the courtyard, and then they withdrew from the courtyard with peace of mind, went up to the high wall, and waited patiently for the arrival of a new attack with their bows and crossbows.

Not long after, the officers and soldiers of the Haw Par, who were not willing to be defeated, shouted hoarsely and rushed out of the small iron gate again, but they were soon dumbfounded. Because there was no opponent in the compound that they had to fight against, and there was only discarded wood on the empty flat ground. The surrounding walls are no shorter than the outer walls. And on top of the high wall, many soldiers with bows and crossbows stood at them, looking at them coldly, and unhurriedly lighting the torches beside them with arrows wrapped in cloth in their hands.

More and more Haw Par officers and soldiers poured into the compound, and they were horrified to hear an order from the city wall, and many rockets were fired in a dense manner. The compound was suddenly in flames, and even the sewage in the passage caught fire on the water because of a layer of oil and wine floating on it.

The people with the fire on their bodies rushed out of the small iron gate with a wolf howl, colliding with the officers and soldiers who did not understand what was happening and were squeezing in. The scene was chaotic.

Not long after, the unconvinced Haw Par officers and soldiers rushed into the compound with fireproof cloths and chain claws, but they found nothing but more corpses.

At this time, the city wall of the West Gate, which was in full swing outside, did not make the expected progress. The officers and men of the Haw Par were still repulsed by the fire and were eventually driven off the city walls.

On this day, fierce fighting continued until late at night. The attacks of the Xuanwu Kingdom on several aspects were fruitless, but they lost a lot of men and horses. The only consolation is that although there are only a few of the 2,000 soldiers who attacked the West Gate, the West Gate is already half-crippled, and it only needs to be worked hard to completely open the gate.

Nearly half of the 6,000 Haw Par officers and men committed to the battlefield lost nearly half, more than 2,000 killed and seriously wounded in the rush to the western wall, and several hundred people who rushed in through the sewers. Gu Zhongxun was furious about this, and he couldn't wait to kill Liu Rang to calm his anger. The generals in the army knelt down one after another to beg for mercy for Liu Rang, Gu Zhongxun considered that the enemy was at present, the war was tight, and it was quite unfavorable to kill an old qualified general like Liu Rang, so he spared Liu Rang's life and made him guilty and meritorious service.

After this incident, Liu Rang was very depressed. He couldn't understand, wasn't the so-called trump card army built for victory? What the fuck was the battle if he was reluctant to give up the so-called trump card and the determination to let go?

Since then, he has been much less motivated. no longer takes the initiative to make suggestions, but mechanically implements the instructions of the Gu father and son, and lets him do whatever he wants. If he felt that the opinion put forward by Gongzi Gu Yinqi was wrong, he would not talk much, but just said that the king did not dare to jump to conclusions without consulting him, and kicked the ball back to them.

In the days that followed, the Northern Alliance continued to attack on a daily basis, but the Haw Par Army was no longer used. They finally smashed the West Gate completely, and a fierce battle ensued with the defenders of Black Cloud City inside the gate.

The defenders of Black Cloud City repelled their fanatical attacks several times with fire attacks, but after three days, the influx of hoplites and cavalry finally stormed the gates, seized some of the dwellings, and relied on them as a stronghold for resistance. Although Wang Jingxuan organized several counterattacks, he was still unable to repel them, and the two sides continued to entangled men and horses to burn each other's houses, so that this large area was eventually in ruins. Fortunately, the residents have been evacuated in advance.

Due to the flanking attacks from above and below the city, the officers and men of the Northern Alliance had a very difficult time. They concentrated their efforts on seizing a section of the wall above the West Gate Wall, and finally the situation was safer.

For the Northern Alliance army, which had already stormed into the city and firmly entrenched, Wang Jingxuan felt a deep headache. He asked Zhao Hui, who was guarding the city together, to discuss countermeasures. Due to the pressure of Xicheng, Zhao Qinghai had to be busy dealing with other city gates in the southeast and north every day, and he was also anxious and had nothing to do. I don't know how long the future days of defending the city will be, so we can't fight for so many days and finish all the reserves, right?

He comforted Wang Jingxuan and said: "Try your best to use the strength in your hands to organize a defense, it will be too much and too expensive to fight a counterattack." Taking it one step at a time may work a little better. Try not to let them expand any further. ”
