Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Battle of the City

Lu Kai had just retreated into the city, and the cavalry of the Red Army had advanced to the city.

Without waiting for the Red Army to make the next move, on the head of the city, sticks, woods, and stones fell together, and the Red Army that smashed straight down was staggered and chaotic.

"Raise your shield!

In the Red Army, several generals who rushed to the forefront shouted one after another.

Hearing their shouts, the red soldiers crowded under the city hurriedly took off the shields behind them and held them firmly above their heads, feeling that the pressure from the city was much less, so they began to hurry up the time to set up a ladder.

Zuihou, after paying hundreds of casualties, finally some of the Red soldiers set up a ladder, seeing this, all the Red soldiers swarmed up and climbed up like crazy.

The Red Army rushed to the city, and the Jin Army naturally did not sit still, and under the command of some generals, the Jin Army on the city wall was also busy.

Some people use bamboo poles to pick up the ladder, and some sprinkle the oil in their hands on the ladder, without igniting the fire, a pot of oil is poured down, and the red army on it is scalded and the flesh is opened, and the ladder sticking to the oil is extremely smooth, and the red army often has not climbed much before they get off their hands and slide down.

The Red Army relied on the advantage of a large number of people, surrounded from all directions, no matter how the Jin Army resisted, there were still a large number of Red soldiers who climbed to the top of the city one after another, but these people often came quickly, went down faster, and before the Red soldiers who climbed the city understood what was going on, they were greeted by a chaotic blade on the city wall.

As more and more red soldiers successfully climbed the city wall, the soldiers of the Jin State no longer stuck to the same place, and after retreating a few steps, everyone put down their bows and arrows in their hands, or picked up their spears, or drew their swords, and opened the prelude to the bloody struggle with the enemy.

At the beginning, the battle was extremely fierce, with both sides fighting against soldiers, generals against generals, roaring and fighting together.

The advantage of the Red Army is that there are many people, and after fighting a batch, and then a batch is quickly replenished, while the advantage of the Jin Army is that it fights at home, even if the number of people is not comparable to the opponent, but it can make full use of the terrain on the city wall and skillfully engage with the enemy.

The battle was extremely bloody and tragic at the beginning, especially on the side of the Jin army, there was no way to retreat, but to fight to the death and defend the city wall!

There will be a heart of death, and there will be no greed for life!

The generals can lead by example and charge into battle, and the soldiers will naturally follow.

The fight was not long, the two sides fell into a stalemate stage, the tens of thousands of red soldiers in front of the army only came up half, and the people behind could not come up, not that they did not want to go up, but the red soldiers who had gone up to the city wall were pressed by the Jin army on the edge of the city wall, and the soldiers behind wanted to go up and had no place to stay.

Seeing that the other party could not break through his own defense line, Lu Kai became confident and shouted loudly: "Brothers, all work hard, and push the enemy down!"

Under his command, the Jin army made a concerted effort, the soldiers in front stared at the blood-red eyes, pulled their necks and roared, and rushed towards the opponent's weapons, they were pierced by the spears and swords of the Red Army, but it also created an opportunity for the comrades in the rear, tens of thousands of Jin troops swarmed up and bumped into the Red soldiers.

"Boom!"

The collision of armor and armor was deafening, under the joint force of many Red Army, the Jin Army who climbed the city wall as a whole took a big step back, although it was only one step, but it was bitter Zuihou A row of Red Army, they couldn't stand, leaned back, screaming and falling off the wall, many Red soldiers fell down in a panic at the same time reached out to grab the companions in front of them, as a result, not only fell themselves, but also involved the companions in front, both fell.

The Red soldiers who fell down instead became the rolling logs and stones of the Jin Army, not only smashing and injuring the Red Army under the city, but also knocking down a lot of the Red Army on the ladder, and a series of chain reactions caused chaos in the Red Army camp.

Seeing that the other party couldn't hold on, Lu Kai roared, lifted the Aotian Sword, and rushed to the forefront of the team, as long as he saw that he was wearing the armor of the Red Kingdom, no matter whether the other party was dead or alive, he came up with a burst of wild slashing.

The main generals were unstoppable, and the Jin soldiers behind them were greatly boosted, waving the weapons in their hands and shouting loudly: "Kill the Red Army in the city and avenge the dead brothers!"

"Kill—"

The morale of the Jin army was aroused, and the burning blood rushed straight to the brain, at this time people had forgotten life and death, and only the enemy was left in their eyes, and only the thoughts of all the enemy troops were left in their minds. The Jin army was like a stimulant, and the frantic counterattack made the Red Army unable to parry it anymore, and the soldiers in front of them went down in rows, and the soldiers behind them also fell down in rows.

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and there was no longer a single living Red soldier on the city wall, there were corpses everywhere, and there were broken heads of Red soldiers everywhere, and blood flowed like a river, gurgling down the city.

At this time, Xuanyuan Fang, who was standing in the rear of the army to supervise the battle, saw that the battle had reached such an extent, and knew in his heart that there was no need to fight any further, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers who were still climbing along the ladder to retreat.

This order was undoubtedly a great relief for the soldiers of the former army, who had lost most of their troops and were exhausted, and the people did not show any love for war, and as soon as they received the order, they quickly retreated with the bodies of their own soldiers who had been killed.

Today's battle can be said to be the largest siege launched since the arrival of Xuanyuan Fang, but he never expected that the Jin army in the city would be so difficult, not only successfully defended the city, but also fought his own losses and countless soldiers, after this battle, he also had a new estimate of the combat effectiveness of the Jin army.

However, Xuanyuan Fang was not in a hurry, more precisely, now he was waiting, waiting for an upheaval in the city......

After the Red Army retreated, the Jin soldiers who stayed in the city could no longer hold back, only to hear a plopping sound, one by one the Jin soldiers were like wilted eggplants, their heads hung down and slumped on the ground, staring at the front with dull eyes, and they were wearing rough clothes.

After a short time, the gate of the Twin Peaks was slowly opened, and then, a convoy with a white flag walked out of it and walked straight towards the corpse of the Jin army under the city. This convoy is the corpse collection team specially used by the Jin Army to clean up the battlefield.

The corpse collectors who walked outside the city were also immersed in a state of desolation, no one was noisy, no one even spoke, people lowered their heads, with the same expressions on their faces, indifferently lifted the corpses on the ground, and then stacked the corpses on the corpse collection cart, and when the cart was full, it was transported back to the city, the action was mechanical and repetitive.

But at this moment, no one noticed that several 'dead bodies' on the corpse collection car were slightly undulating......

on the city walls.

"Lu Kai, how many casualties did our army have this time?" Yu Yan asked sadly, seeing the car full of corpses being transported back to the city one by one.

"Five thousand men were killed, three thousand were seriously wounded, and eight thousand were lightly wounded. ”

After listening to Lu Kai's reply, Yu Yan fell silent and paused, he sighed: "Ye Luo always has to return to the roots, all the bodies of the fallen soldiers must be transported back to the city, and in addition, the families of the fallen soldiers must also be appeased." ”

Lu Kai's face was straight, and he replied: "My subordinates understand!"

"How's the progress going on over there?"

According to the Feishu report, General Lin has successfully arrived in Wancheng and thrown himself into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and that night, the Prime Minister also specially held a banquet at home to wash the dust for General Lin. ”

Hearing this, Yu Yan rarely showed a smile, shook his head slightly, and said: "This guy, it's really not simple, he can gain the trust of the prime minister in such a short period of time, this time with the help of the prime minister, Du Yu's matter will be nothing."

"I wish General Lin a safe return!" After a moment of silence, Lu Kai said again: "General, have you noticed that the Red Army's attack today is a little strange?"

"Yes, you feel it too?" Yu Yan nodded and said: "The Red Army attacked the city, and it only took about half an hour before and after to add up, it stands to reason that the Red Army can charge again, but Xuanyuan Fang ordered the troops to be collected early, which is really elusive." ”

Lu Kai thought for a while, and asked with a worried face: "General, is there any conspiracy here?"
