This time, the Red Army invested more troops, looking down the city wall, the black pressure was full of soldiers wearing the armor of the Red Kingdom, the crowd was surging, thousands of troops and horses were rushing towards the city wall at full speed, the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, even if the entire ground was trembling slightly.

On the Jin Army's side, with the addition of Du Yu's ten legions, there is not much difference between the two sides in terms of numbers, so that the morale of the Jin Army will naturally rise with the tide, and the haze that was originally displayed on everyone's faces will be swept away, followed by a kind of heroic and fearless perseverance.

At Yu Yan's command, the archers on the city wall drew their bows and wound them, and then, a dense raindrop of arrows 'swished' towards the bottom of the city wall.

With the lesson of the last time, this time, the red soldiers also had an extra eye, seeing the golden soldiers on the city tower release arrows, the red soldiers in front of the army hurriedly raised the shield in their hands, firmly covered it on the top of their heads, and continued to charge forward without slowing down.

"Plop, pounce, pounce!"

"Bell! bell!"

A burst of rhythmic metal collision sound sounded instantly, at the same time, the Red Army crowd will inevitably hear a few screams, finally, after paying nearly a thousand casualties, the Red Army vanguard arrived under the city wall, set up a ladder, the black pressure of the Red soldiers began to climb up in groups, shouting to kill the city.

What followed was another endless battle.

The battle lasted from noon to evening, and on the Jin army's side, less than half of the people who could fight, and even the remaining people, few of them were unwounded. The Red Army suffered even heavier losses, and the original army of 100,000 people had been sharply reduced to one-third of the original number of combatants, of whom 40,000 had died in battle alone.

Above and below the city walls, there were stumps and broken arms, corpses piled up, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and at this time, the entire city wall had become a living hell on earth.

By this time the battle had been fought, the soldiers on both sides had already been numb, and the rest of the time was a torment for everyone.

They mechanically waved the weapons in their hands, and waited until they cut down the enemy on the opposite side, and without the slightest fluctuation in their eyes, they went to find the next target......

The battle lasted again for about half an hour, until the sky was completely dark, which was not conducive to the siege of the city, and the Red Army Command gave the order to retreat.

In the end, this war of attrition, which lasted for a whole day, ended in the victory of the Jin army.

The congealed blood, the dark red walls, the armor and weapons scattered everywhere, and the soldiers lying on the ground without knowing whether they were alive or dead, constituted an extremely sad picture against the backdrop of the night.

Now there was no expression in the faces of the people, and all that came into view was the numb faces, no one spoke, not even whispering, and the whole city was left with the heavy wheezing and the faint groans of the wounded.

Lin Haotian and Yu Yan walked side by side at the head of the city, and along the way, looking at the bloodstained soldiers beside them, both of them remained silent, and neither of them took the lead in breaking the silent atmosphere.

At this time, a soldier walked quickly to Yu Yan, knelt down on one knee and said, "General!"

Yu Yan's face was gloomy and terrifying, his eyes stared at the soldier in front of him and asked, "How is it, has the battle situation been counted?"

"It's all counted!"

"How?"

"This..."

"Huh?" Yu Yan raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Say it quickly!"

"Yes!" The soldier shuddered, did not dare to hesitate any longer, and said urgently: "Of our 140,000 soldiers defending the city, 50,000 were killed and 20,000 were seriously wounded. ”

"What about the equipment to defend the city, is it enough?"

"Bows and arrows, rolling logs and other things are quite sufficient, but it's just ......" Speaking of this, the soldier obviously paused, and said with some difficulty: "It's just that there is not much food and grass left in the army, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for a few days." ”

Yu Yan frowned and continued to ask, "How is the Red Army?"

"On the city wall alone, we have found nearly 30,000 corpses of red soldiers, and counting the city walls, the number of dead should not be less than ours. ”

"Okay, you go down and get busy first!"

"Yes! General!"

At this time, Yu Yan slowly turned his head, looked at Lin Haotian on the side, showed a little bitterness on his face, and said, "Brother Lin, do you regret joining the army?"

Lin Haotian's eyes were full of perseverance, and he immediately blurted out: "No regrets!"

"Okay! it's really my good boy of Dajin!" Yu Yan patted the armor on his chest vigorously, and a smile just flowed in his eyes, but he suddenly thought of something, his eyes dimmed, and he took a few deep breaths, and then whispered to Lin Haotian: "Brother Lin, in today's battle, I heard from the herald that the casualties among the two thousand men and horses you brought were not small, so you had better go and take a look first." ”

"What?!"

After listening to Yu Yan's words, Lin Haotian suddenly felt that his brain was blank, and he almost fainted on the spot, and he didn't even have time to say hello, so he hurriedly rushed to the camp under the city......

After the battle, all the wounded were sent to the city for treatment, and the camp where they lived became their temporary medical room.

When Lin Haotian returned to the camp, almost all the backbones in the cottage were among them, but at this moment, everyone was hanging their heads, and their faces were a little ugly.

Seeing this, Lin Haotian suddenly had a feeling of unhappiness, and from everyone's reactions, he seemed to have guessed something and hurriedly asked, "How many brothers have been killed or wounded?"

Hearing his question, everyone in the tent looked at each other, first looked at each other a few times, and then lowered their heads one after another.

At this moment, Lin Haotian was really a little anxious, slapped the table with his right hand, and shouted at everyone: "I'll ask you!"

Everyone still didn't speak, but they all turned their eyes to Chu Lianyu.

Looking at the entire cottage, only he has the closest relationship with Lin Haotian, and if there is any news that is not haode, it is naturally the most suitable for him.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chu Lianyu sighed secretly in his heart, and said in a very low voice: "Eight hundred brothers have been killed in battle!"

"Buzz!"

After hearing this, Lin Haotian immediately stumbled and almost sat on the ground.

"Big boss!" everyone stepped forward and reached out to help him.

Lin Haotian's face turned pale, and now, he really regretted it a little! He regretted that he had agreed to come to join the army, and he regretted that he had brought the more than 2,000 brothers in the village out of the cottage. At the beginning, he had promised them that on the day of their success, they would return to the Guigu Mountain with everyone to celebrate their achievements, but who would have thought that in just a few days, 800 brothers had already been killed......

Looking at Lin Haotian, who was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, Peng Qian stepped forward and comforted softly: "People can't be resurrected after death, the big boss, let's mourn, these 800 brothers sacrificed their lives for the country, and their names will definitely be remembered by our children and grandchildren." ”

Lin Haotian shook his head and commanded in a hoarse voice. "Pass on my military order, take out 100,000 taels of silver from the military expenses, and distribute them to the families of the dead brothers, and in addition, collect their bones, and the leaves will always return to the roots. ”

"Yes!" Peng Qian replied, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and continued: "My lord, I don't know whether to talk about something or not?"

"Huh?" Lin Haotian was confused by him, and said suspiciously: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"In this battle to defend the city, if Du Yuken had come to help earlier, I don't think the brothers would have suffered such huge casualties.

Kill Du Yu? Lin Haotian's eyes flashed with a fine light, but Du Yu was a dignified commander of the first army, how could he kill if he said he would kill?

"Click!"

Without waiting for Lin Haotian to speak, Ding Feng first slapped the seat under him in two, stood up, and said loudly: "I'm going to kill this dog thief!" After speaking, he turned around and walked out.

"zhanzhu!" Seeing Ding Feng's actions, Lin Haotian hurriedly shouted.

"Don't such people deserve to die?"

"Ding Feng, don't be impulsive!" Chu Lianyu stepped forward and grabbed Ding Feng's wrist and said, "It's nothing to kill Du Yu, but I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here anymore." ”

"What's so difficult about this, it's a big deal to go back to Guigu Mountain to be our bandits, and end up at ease. ”

At this time, Lin Haotian was also doing a fierce ideological struggle, whether to kill or not to kill was only between his thoughts, if he was alone, it would be okay to say, but now there are more than a thousand brothers under his command after all, no matter what, they can't be affected anymore!

Just when he was still hesitating, Bi Wen in the crowd spoke up, arched his hand to Lin Haotian and said, "I have a plan, but I can get rid of Du Yu!"
