As fewer stones and boiling oil were thrown from the city walls, the pressure on the Northern Barbarian army was much less, and at this time soldiers finally reached the city walls with the help of ladders. But as soon as they came out of the city, many eagle soldiers armed with swords and guns surrounded them, and then took advantage of their numerical superiority to force them back.

On this day, the Northern Barbarian soldiers did not even rest at noon, and launched more than ten attacks on Yunshan Pass in a row, after losing a lot of manpower. The Northern Barbarians approached the city closer and closer each time, but under the stubborn defense of the Eagle soldiers, each of their attacks was eventually repelled by the Eagle Army soldiers.

Looking at the soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army who were desperately defending on the city wall, Heihan Mugu's face was very solemn, he thought that he could quickly capture Yunshan Pass with so many people. Unexpectedly, in the battle for several days, the Northern Barbarians lost tens of thousands of soldiers, but they still did not capture this city.

This made Heihan Mugu extremely distressed, this general who defended the city was indeed a difficult guy. At this moment, in his heart, he completely remembered the names of Fierce Eagle Army and Ye Ying.

The time of the day passed quickly, and the sunset was already floating high in the sky. In desperation, Heihan Mugu had no choice but to withdraw his troops and withdraw the Northern Barbarian soldiers who were frantically attacking Yunshan Pass.

Seeing from a distance that the Northern Barbarian soldiers besieging the city retreated like a tide, Ye Ying and the others, who were standing on the city wall, breathed a long sigh of relief, and another day of fighting was finally over.

"It's not going to go on like this, if you can't come up with another way. I reckon they'll take it tomorrow. Ye Ying gathered all the leading generals above the rank of his team and discussed with them how to deal with the current situation.

"Yes, the stones in the city have almost been consumed, and there is not a single barrel of boiling oil available in the city. Without the help of these things, more and more northern barbarians will ascend to the top of the city, and in that case, it will be very difficult for us to defend the city. Chen Gang was on the side and said with some concern.

"Arrows and stones, we can think of taking advantage of the darkness of the night to hang some people from the city walls and collect these things scattered under the city." Zhuge Ying sighed and said to everyone.

"Without boiling oil, there is a river passing through the Yunshan Pass, and this water is inexhaustible. So, we can use it for defending the city. Du Kui'an, who had returned to serve as the military division of the Suzaku Army, added.

The idea of the two made the eyes of the people present shine, so that the problem of serious consumption of materials to defend the city could be greatly buffered.

In the early morning, Heihan Mugu came to Yunshan Pass with the Northern Barbarian soldiers, and saw that some arrows and stones that were originally scattered under the city, and even some swords had disappeared. He patted his head: "I made a mistake, why didn't I think of taking these things away?" This time, they will become a sharp weapon for harvesting their soldiers. ”

But in this case, there is no other way for Heihan Mugu. I had to grit my teeth and give an order, and let my soldiers launch a fierce attack on the city.

With the previous days of fighting, many of their comrades on both sides fell under each other's butcher's knives. So when they saw the enemy soldiers, their hearts were full of anger, and they didn't need anyone to mobilize, and the two sides immediately began to fight.

Seeing that the Northern Barbarian soldiers were climbing towards the city wall step by step along the ladder, the soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army immediately waited for them, and some soldiers even picked up bows and arrows and stones to greet the heads of the Northern Barbarian soldiers below.

There were comrades who fell at any time, but the Northern Barbarian soldiers still ignored it, holding shields to block their heads, while quickly climbing down the ladder to the top of the city.

Seeing more and more Northern Barbarian soldiers climbing the ladder, getting closer and closer to themselves and others, they could even see the hideous color on the other party's face. The soldiers of the Eagle Army, with their swords in their hands, prepared to wait for the enemy to rush to the city and fight them to the death.

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the rear, which turned out to be a group of ordinary people, holding pots and pans in their hands, which contained boiling water that was still tumbling and steaming.

Seeing these things, the soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army showed a happy look on their faces, and they took these pots and pans, and directly poured the boiling water in them on the heads of the Northern Barbarian soldiers under the city.

The shields in the hands of the Northern Barbarian soldiers can block bows and arrows, and some people can even use it to push away rocks the size of human heads, but there is no way to effectively defend against these boiling waters.

This boiling water, though not as hot as boiling oil, could not cost these soldiers their lives quickly. But in this case, they couldn't bear it, so many Northern Barbarian soldiers rolled down the ladder with screams.

After pouring boiling water, these people of the three counties didn't have time to pay attention to how many enemies under the city were scalded by the boiling water, but turned around as quickly as possible and hurriedly ran to the city.

In the Yunshan Pass near the city wall, a cauldron was set up, some wounded soldiers, old and young women and children among the people. The improvised stove was boiling vigorously, and then the boiling water was scooped into various water holding tools and handed over to the young and strong people who were responsible for delivering water.

With the help of these boiling waters, the pressure on the Eagle soldiers in the city was reduced a lot, and a large number of Northern Barbarian soldiers who tried to climb the city wall were scalded down the ladder by the boiling water, while the few Northern Barbarian soldiers who rushed to the top of the city were defeated by the desperate fighting of the Eagle Army.

Although there were also a few Northern Barbarian soldiers who climbed to the top of the city and killed many Eagle Army soldiers, they still didn't last long under the siege of these Eagle Army soldiers, and they were killed on the spot, and their bodies were thrown down the city by the Eagle Army soldiers.

Fan Lingyan, Chen Gang, Shan Fu, You Tong, Zhu Tong, Gui Sanniang and others who were standing behind the soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army were also ready at this time. If there is a general with strong kung fu among the northern barbarians rushing to the city, when the soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army are about to be unable to hold on. They will rush forward and, together with these soldiers, launch the strongest attack on the enemy.

Seeing that the Northern Barbarian soldiers had made a lot of effort, they still did not gain a firm foothold on the city wall. In the rear of the Northern Barbarian army, several trebuchets were pushed under the city wall, and stones the size of a human head were fired at the city wall.

Some of these stones hit the soldiers who were besieging the city. But more fell on the city, and many of the Eagle soldiers were hit by boulders. They had to dodge boulders or shield them while fighting desperately with the Northern Barbarian soldiers who were rising on the walls.

On this day's siege battle, there were more and more Northern Barbarian soldiers attacking the city, so the chances of the two sides fighting each other in short combat also increased, and the number of soldiers killed on both sides also exceeded those of the previous days.

All the soldiers of the Eagle Army knew that if the enemy was allowed to occupy the city and break through the Yunshan Pass, their fate would be very tragic, and the people of the three counties would also be miserable. Therefore, these soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army risked their lives and desperately drove the Northern Barbarian soldiers who rushed to the city down the city at all costs.

Among the young and strong people who were in charge of delivering water, some of them were also red-eyed, picked up the swords of the sacrificed soldiers, and joined the ranks of the battle.

Heihan Mugu thought that he would be able to capture Yunshan Pass today, but at dusk, he lost five or six thousand soldiers, and although he attacked the city several times, he still did not occupy this pass.

The bravery of the soldiers of the Eagle Army is far beyond the imagination of Heihan Mugu. In desperation, he had to withdraw his troops and prepare to fight again the next day.

In this day's battle, the Northern Barbarians lost nearly 7,000 soldiers. And the Eagle soldiers also suffered more than 2,000 casualties. This casualty is also normal, this kind of siege battle, the damage of the attacking and defending sides is about three to one, but the Eagle Army, which has suffered serious losses in troops, has no additional troops, which is the biggest problem they face.

On this day, through the concerted efforts of the soldiers of the Eagle Army, although it was dangerous several times, it finally drove all the soldiers of the North Gate who rushed to the head of the city.

But Ye Ying, Zhuge Ying and the others did not have a trace of a smile, because they continued to consume like this. This pass will not be guarded for long, and there will be no Fierce Eagle Army soldiers who can continue to defend the city in Yunshan Pass.

"How many days will our grain and grass last?" In the Beiban camp, Heihan Mugu asked the logistics officer in charge of grain and grass baggage.

"Report to the king, if you let the brothers eat all the food, the food will only be enough for two days, and if the porridge is thinner at each meal, and if you eat one less, you can last three to five days." Hearing Heihan Mugu's words, the logistics officer said with a frown.

"How can it be done to let the sons and daughters fight hungry, let them eat enough for every meal, and they will definitely take this pass within two days." Heihan Mugu is good at commanding battles, and he knows that he must not let the team lose morale.

The next day, the siege became more and more fierce.

The two sides have been in more hands-on battles, and more and more young lives have been deprived of war in this battle. There were fewer and fewer supplies to defend the city, and more and more soldiers were wounded or killed.

There are fewer and fewer Eagle Army soldiers who can hold on to the city, and even some soldiers who have been seriously injured, and some young and strong civilians have joined the ranks of guarding the pass.

Seeing that it was getting more and more difficult to defend the city, the Northern Barbarian soldiers attacked the city more and more times, although they were repelled again and again, Ye Ying knew that they couldn't hold out for long.

During this time, Yang Yun used their last resort to transfer out the 1,500 cavalry hidden in the rear of the Northern Barbarians. When the Northern Barbarians were attacking the city, the cavalry would attack behind the Northern Barbarian army, destroying the siege materials in their rear, or attacking the Northern Barbarian soldiers in the rear, so that the Northern Barbarians could not devote all their energy to the siege.

The cavalry was relatively fast, and after each sneak attack on the enemy, they quickly retreated when the enemy found out. But even so, as the number of attacks increased, the northern barbarians began to prepare, the effectiveness of the attacks became worse and worse, and the number of cavalry losses increased.

In the past two days, when the Northern Barbarian soldiers were attacking the city, Ye Ying had not seen it, and their cavalry was attacking behind the other party.

Ye Ying stood at the head of the city, looking at the dense Northern Barbarian soldiers under the city, his heart was full of bitterness. This city has been defended for more than ten days, and this battle is so fierce that at least fifty or sixty thousand northern barbarian soldiers have fallen in front of this city wall, and there are less than three thousand soldiers of the Fierce Eagle Army guarding the pass.

At present, almost all of the city's defense equipment is unusable, and there is a serious shortage of medicine in the city, and many of the wounded Eagle soldiers have died because there is no medicine to treat them. What's even more serious is that the food in the city is almost exhausted, and the soldiers have only eaten one meal from yesterday to today.

The Heihan Mugu who was besieging the city now also felt a lot of headaches, thinking that his army of more than 100,000 could easily take Yunshan Pass. Unexpectedly, this time he encountered a hard bone, and he lost half of his troops, and he still hasn't taken this pass.
