The soldiers of Great Wei suffered heavy losses, but they could not reach the city wall. And the city gate seemed to suddenly become stronger, and the siege wood slammed several times, but only trembled slightly.

Yuan Zhao, the crown prince of Great Wei, was watching the formation from behind, his face was very ugly, and when he saw Luo Yan leading people forward, it was also difficult to deal with the hidden weapons shot from the city wall.

Nangong Zheng returned to the rear on his horse and asked Yuan Zhao for instructions, "His Royal Highness the Prince, let's withdraw the troops today!" You have to think of another way and crack the hidden weapon on the wall of Black Cliff Pass, otherwise the soldiers will be damaged even more. ”

Yuan Zhao nodded, "Mingjin retreats." ”

With an order, Dawei withdrew his troops and insisted on attacking the city for more than an hour, not letting Nanchu suffer the slightest loss, but causing Dawei to break a lot of soldiers.

After collecting the troops, Yuan Zhao summoned all the Great Wei generals and discussed countermeasures in the Chinese military account.

Luo came to the Zhongjun tent angrily and asked Yuan Zhao, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince withdraw his troops?" Give me another half an hour, and I will definitely take people to attack the wall of Black Cliff Pass. ”

"What about after attacking the walls of Black Cliff Pass?" Yuan Zhao looked at her, "Don't forget, there are one or two thousand masters of martial arts on the city wall, this king has already told you, it is very powerful, it is the secret guard of the Cui family of Qinghe and the people of the Demon Sect." ”

Luo said disgustedly: "Kill them." ”

"You can kill the men in your own hands? And they are not only good at drugs and medicine, but also good at tricks. "Yuan Zhao didn't expect that yesterday's opportunity was lost, and today he fell into such a passive situation, and the Black Cliff Pass suddenly became indestructible.

"What then? Doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continue to fight? Luo said disgustedly.

"You calm down first, this king personally brought soldiers and horses to Nanchu, naturally he will not return in vain." Yuan Zhao looked at her, "This king will discuss countermeasures with the generals, or if you have a better countermeasure, you can also put it forward." ”

Luo Yan was not a brainless person in the end, so he calmed down and asked, "Can the siege cannon destroyed by Nanchu be repaired?" ”

Yuan Zhao shook his head, "I can't do it in a short time, I can only transport it back to Dawei and reforge it." ”

Luo Yan asked again: "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only have six siege guns?" ”

Yuan Zhao nodded, "Only six gates were built, and this king brought Nanchu to try the power, but I didn't expect that all of them were folded in." ”

It is not easy for siege artillery to be built, and over the years, there have only been six, and two have been completely destroyed, and the other four have not been repaired well in a short period of time.

Luo sat down on the chair in frustration, and after sitting for a while, he listened to the discussion of the generals, and the discussion was half loud, but he didn't come up with a reason. She suddenly stared at Yuan Zhao and asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be surrounded by such a master, why did he only bring such a small number of people?" What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

Yuan Zhao said: "Staying in the court, in order to ensure the stability of the court, my second brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

Luo was tired of speaking, and got up irritably, her injury was actually not healed, and she didn't stay to discuss together, so she turned around and went to rest. She must conserve her strength, heal her injuries as soon as possible, and avenge Red Hawk.

After she left, Yuan Zhao looked at Nangong Zheng, "What good ideas do you have?" ”

Nangong Zheng said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what we need most at the moment is a master, one is to send a master to help, and the other is not afraid to damage the soldiers, build a human wall, and attack hard." Miss Luo was not wrong, she took the people of the poison medicine sect, held a shield, stepped on the human ladder to resist, once the hidden weapon arrow feathers set up in the Black Cliff Pass were consumed, there was a chance to attack the city wall, but it would only be a heavy loss. ”

"In your estimation, how many Great Wei soldiers will be lost by taking the city wall so strongly?" Yuan Zhao asked.

"I'm afraid it will cost twenty or thirty thousand." Nangong Zheng said.

"If you lose 20,000 or 30,000, it will really be worth it for this king to capture the Black Cliff Pass." Yuan Zhao said.

Helan decided: "Yesterday's battle caused Su Rong and her people to be seriously injured, as long as the new group of people is eliminated, then the Black Cliff Pass can be captured." His Royal Highness the Prince, send someone to send a letter back to Great Wei and send people to bring in, right? ”

"This king will dispatch people from Great Wei, and it will take ten days at the earliest." Yuan Zhao looked at Nangong Zheng, "The people of your Nangong family have all withdrawn from Nanchu?" But there are still people left in Nanchu? ”

Nangong Zheng arched his hand, "Yes, Your Highness, I will fly the eagle to pass the book today, but at least five hundred people will come, but I am afraid it will take a few days." ”

Yuan Zhao nodded, and made up his mind, "Attack tomorrow, if you can take the Black Cliff Pass, it's the best, if you can't take it, you can only wait for your people to arrive with the king's people, and then attack the city." In ten days, the king did not believe that the reinforcements of the Great Liang could arrive. ”

Nangong Zheng bowed.

So, on the same day, two letters were sent in the direction of the Great Wei military camp, one was sent to the Great Wei, and the other was secretly sent to a stronghold of the Nangong family in Southern Chu.

The retreat of the Great Wei made the soldiers on the wall of Heiya Pass very happy, and this was the first smiling face that the soldiers had shown in the past few days.

Zhang Yun also smiled, "Dawei has withdrawn his troops, and the brothers of the Devil's Sect have worked hard, so hurry up and go back and rest!" ”

"Not tired." One person said: "This city gate and city wall can be strengthened again, yesterday the work was in a hurry, and the work was rough." ”

Zhang Yun smiled, "Today's Great Wei withdrew its troops, and tomorrow it may be possible to reformulate its strategy and attack the city strongly, so, listen to my advice, everyone has been tired all night, and now that Great Wei has withdrawn from the army, take the opportunity to rest quickly, if everyone is not tired at night, you can improve it again." Tomorrow there will be a fierce battle, and the burden of defending the city will depend on everyone, and everyone must recuperate. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt reasonable, and immediately nodded in unison, "It's okay." ”

Zhang Yun said to Cui Xingzhi: "Brother Cui should also go and rest!" Leave today's post-war matters to me. ”

Cui Xingzhi is not polite, he really didn't fall asleep yesterday, and now that Dawei has withdrawn his troops and held this battle, he is temporarily relieved, and the feeling of exhaustion also comes up, and he does not shirk and says: "Then it's hard Brother Zhang Yun, I'll come to replace you in the afternoon." ”

"No, you can rest today, these things are simple, I will take care of them soon, and I will go to rest." Zhang Yun waved his hand.

Cui Xingzhi nodded, arched his hand, and went down the city wall.

After Su Rong and Zhou Gu returned to the mansion, they didn't go to rest immediately, but went to visit Ye Guixue, Xie Yuan and others.

Ye Guixue, Feng Ling, and Yinyue were still in a coma, but Xie Yuan woke up, and when he saw that the two of them were helped in, he asked weakly: "Great Wei is attacking the city again?" ”

Su Rong simply told him about the situation of the city gate, "Uncle Xie, rest assured, today's city wall, with the presence of people from the Demon Gate, will definitely be able to defend it." ”

Xie Yuan was relieved when he heard this, "That's good." ”

He looked at Su Rong, and then at Zhou Gu, "I'm fine here, look at the two of you with miserable faces, hurry up and rest!" ”

Su Rong really couldn't hold it anymore, nodded, and went back to rest with Zhou Gu.
