Chapter 495: Retreat (7)

Nine Springs City is fighting fiercely at the moment.

The two sides had been fighting for three days and three nights, and the walls were full of blood and corpses, but they didn't bother to move them.

At the beginning of the war, Xie Xun dug a deep ditch as wide as 10 zhang outside the city, destroying the earthen wall of the Snow Country. The siege weapons were gone, but the Snow Countryrs did not retreat, but launched an offensive directly.

This fight has not stopped.

The soldiers below have changed one stubble after another, but Xie Xun, the marshal, has been standing on the wall and has not been able to rest for a moment.

"Marshal, go and rest for a while." Liu Fu really couldn't stand it.

Xie Xun's voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, and the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

How long will this big war be fought? The Snowpiercers seem to have made up their minds that they must capture Nine Springs City this time.

"Right! Quick, hot oil, rocket launch! Xie Xun stretched his neck and shouted, his throat was too dry, and when he spoke, it hurt to grind.

"Brother Xun, the hot oil has run out!" Chu Jue's lips turned white in a hurry.

Most of the people in the city evacuated with the emperor, and the remaining 70,000 soldiers were killed in the fierce battle, wounded, and able-bodied, all on the city wall. With less than 1,000 people in charge of logistics, it is simply not enough to supply the constant demand for hot oil, rockets, boulders, logs and other materials on the city walls.

Xie Xun turned his head, and sure enough, he saw that there were not many supplies left.

He looked up at the blood-stained sky, "Could it be that God is really going to die in Jiuquan?" ”

In the past three days, most of the enemy troops have died, their own casualties are also very heavy, there are fewer and fewer soldiers who can fight, and the materials for defending the city have also run out, how long can this city be defended?

There was a sudden roar of an eagle in the sky, and a giant eagle plunged straight down from the sky.

"Marshal be careful!" Liu Fu bent his bow and was about to shoot the giant eagle.

"Slow!" Xie Xun stopped Liu Fu and looked at the giant eagle with green eyes.

The giant eagle was also looking at Xie Xun, as if confirming something, and with another roar, it swooped down towards Xie Xun.

This eagle is very vicious, but when it lands on Xie Xun's shoulder, it becomes docile. Xie Xun tapped the eagle's closed wings twice to encourage him, and he reached into the heavy feathers and took out a small bamboo tube.

It's Eagle Letter!

After reading the eagle letter, Xie Xun hugged Chu Jue excitedly and turned around three times, "Jiuquan City is saved!" ”

Outside the city.

Ilr rubbed his face vigorously twice, and asked Goltai a little irritably, "How long will you fight?" ”

After standing on the carriage for three days and three nights, he really couldn't hold on, but Rahman and Gol Taidou did not allow him to sit down and rest.

The soldiers below are all working hard, as the emperor, even if he can't take the lead like the marshal of the Yun Dynasty, he can't sit down and enjoy the blessings!

Il's heart was bitter. He was wounded when he slashed his brother Migo, and when he went out to battle three days ago, his wounds were still bleeding. He had thought that the battle would soon be over after the earthen wall had been built. Unexpectedly, the people of the Yun Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity to carry the corpse to dig a big ditch outside the city, and the snow country finally built a ten-zhang high earthen wall, which was destroyed in that ravine before the war began.

Night has fallen again, and the night is harder than the day.

"Otherwise, collect the troops and return to the camp and build another earthen wall." Yi'er yawned, "If we continue to fight like this, even if Nine Springs City is defeated, we will only have more than 100,000 people left, and we won't be able to defend it." ”

Although Rahman and Gortai knew that Ilr would not be able to hold on and retreated, they had to admit that Il's words were right.

The people on the wall of Jiuquan City had gone crazy, and Gortai had seen several times that someone had clearly had his neck cut off, and he still wanted to stab the blade in his hand into the enemy's chest, and finally pull a cushion on his back.

Such a fearlessness of life and death reminded him of the king capture team led by Xie Xun. If the enemies on the city wall are all such crazy fighting methods, they are afraid that they will only have to die more than 100,000 people before they can take this city.

"Withdraw." Rahman made a decision.

Goltai was still hesitant, and a group of men and horses galloped from behind. Gortai recognized at a glance that the leader was Misa, the leader of the royal guard.

"Why are you here?" Gortai had a bad premonition.

Misa should not have been in this place, he should have guarded the queen and the princes and princesses in the royal court.

Misa's expression was solemn, "General, national teacher, please return to the army as soon as possible to rescue, it's too late, I'm afraid that the capital will be broken." ”

Rahman, Gortai, and Ilr let out an "ah" in unison, their eyes widening in dismay.

"Who dares to attack my Snow Country?" Il asked.

Snow Country is the largest country in the Western Regions, and even if the surrounding countries are not old enough to pay tribute, they do not dare to invade with tiger whiskers.

The capital of the Snow Country, Halli, is built in an oasis, this place is not the center of the Snow Country's territory, if you attack from the west, you only need to break the wooden city in the west, and you can go straight to Halli.

"It's the Western Regions Alliance led by Da Wan!" Mi Sha's face was full of indignation, "Dawan's princess Anayi suddenly disappeared in Hari, someone once saw the five princes kidnapping Anayi, Empress Dawan was furious, and the dignitaries failed, and even colluded with the six countries to form a coalition to attack my snow country." ”

"Wouldn't it be okay to find out the person and hand it over to the Empress Dawan?" Yi'er scolded irritably, "That pervert of the fifth child is not enough to succeed, and there are more than failures!" ”

"I found it, the queen made the Praetorian Guards almost dig three feet into the ground, and the fifth prince was beaten to the ground without being human, and he still couldn't find the princess Anayi!" Misa clenched her fists hard, "Both the Empress and the Last General suspect that Empress Dawan is just using this as an excuse to attack our country. ”

"Dawan ate the gall of the ambitious leopard, and the other six countries are also dizzy?" Rahman asked.

Most of the surrounding six countries are poor and weak, and they pay tribute to the snow country almost every year.

"Since Anayi successfully summoned the rain, she was honored as a goddess by all countries, and Empress Dawan lured her with heavy profits, so she naturally became."

Most of the countries in the Western Regions lack water, but Anayi can call the wind and rain, and instantly becomes the goddess in the minds of the countries of the Western Regions, and is respected and worshipped. These things happened after the Snow Emperor led his troops to the Yun Dynasty, and the war was tight, and Gortai and Rahman did not pay attention to the situation in their own countries, and did not know that such changes had occurred in the Western Regions.

A goddess who can summon rain is enough to unite the six nations!

Rahman's face sank like water, and Gortai pulled his hair irritably, only Il, who turned his head to look at Jiuquan City, which was still fighting, and asked unwillingly, "Are we withdrawing our troops like this?" ”

Gortai and Rahman, of course, were not reconciled either. Outside the Nine Springs City, nearly 500,000 soldiers died in the Snow Country, but they didn't get any benefits. The two of them will definitely become the defeated generals in the history books of Snow Country!

But the national capital of Hali is in danger, once the troops are divided, Jiuquan City will not be attacked, and it will become meaningless.

"Scream and call it off!" Gortai was almost an order from grinding the roots of his teeth.

Upstairs in Nine Springs City.

"Finally fucking withdraw!" Chu Jue collapsed on the ground on all fours, eager to fall asleep immediately.

Xie Xun looked at the direction of the Snow Country's retreat and said, "I can't rest tonight." ”

Liu Fu's eyebrows raised high, "Does the marshal want to burn the grain and grass of the people of the Snow Country?" ”

Xie Xun light ump.

Those grains and grasses were originally from the Yun Dynasty, so they won't be burned, and they will be left for the people of the Snow Country to eat and drink, and then come to fight them?

Hmph, I killed so many soldiers and people in my country, I want to retreat, I dream!
