Especially those elite veterans of the Tang Army, as long as they are not seriously injured, even if they are physically exhausted and out of breath, these people will shout, with amazing perseverance, kill the Youjun who are trying to climb the city again and again.

Seeing the scene of the Tang Army's heroic killing of the enemy with his own eyes, even a person like Duan Yu who does not recognize the Tang Army in his heart must admit that the resilience of the Tang Army's officers and soldiers can be called the top existence in the army he has seen.

Of course, Duan Yu also knew the reason. Originally, the resilience of the Tang Army was impeccable, and the clear and definite reward and punishment mechanism in the Tang Army, especially the rich rewards for military merits, made these Tang Army officers and soldiers rush to it.

Duan Yu glanced at another section of the city wall, only to see that on that section of the city wall, the Tang army general Shi Pu held the array shield in one hand and the ring head knife in the other, killing the Youjun who attacked the city with a cruel smile.

Shi Pu looks like a noble son of the prince's family, acting profligately. But once he kills people, this guy can be called the most ferocious one in the Tang Army, and every knife he swings out carries a ferocity that seems to chop the enemy's skull to pieces.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Duan Yu had to admit that with the current siege strength of the Youjun army, the Zhuolu County Army was indeed unstoppable, and he didn't blame Meng Song for ordering their county army to be withdrawn and replaced with the Tang Army soldiers under his command.

After all, in addition to the advantage that the Tang Army has more systematic training, the Tang Army officers and soldiers also have a key advantage, that is, there are top-notch individuals in this group of people, and this kind of people are commonly known as fierce generals in the world!

The people in the Tang Army who can serve as officers above 100 generals are, first of all, very brave and very strong. It would be an exaggeration to say that these people have the courage of ten thousand people, but each of them can withstand at least two or three people's attacks, and they can also fight back.

Duan Yu saw with his own eyes that in just a quarter of an hour, Shi Pu had killed more than a dozen soldiers one after another, and even changed his sword twice.

On the battlefield, this is a shocking achievement. You know, being able to kill an enemy soldier on the battlefield is already considered an old pawn; If you can kill three enemies, it is enough to call it elite; And if you kill more than ten people, you are a warrior, and it is a very fierce kind.

In addition to Shi Pu, another fierce general in the Tang Army, Zhu Heng, also participated in the fight, although because of the position, Duan Yu could not see it with his own eyes, but he believed that Zhu Heng's record would surpass Shi Pu, after all, this Zhu Shishuai was known as the "first fierce general" of the Eighth Army. Duan Yu heard that Duan Yilu, a famous general of Youguo, was killed by this Master Zhu and his family. It's just that what Duan Yu doesn't know is that this news is somewhat exaggerated.

Now that this Zhuolu offensive and defensive battle has been fought so far, the morale of the Tang generals has not fallen because of nearly 2,000 casualties, but has gradually risen, and the fierce generals in the army such as Zhu Heng and Shi Pu have also played a vital role.

It's just that the casualties of the Tang army are too great? In Duan Yu's heart, the Tang army and the Youjun outside the city also deserve to die. As a former member of the Phantom Army, he hated the brutality of the Phantom Army, and hated the promotion path of the Phantom Army regardless of ability, only about seniority and background. Therefore, he despises and hates the army, no matter what country it is.

Even so, Duan Yu at this moment was still worried about such a large casualty of the Tang army, for fear that after the Tang army was killed and wounded, the Zhuolu County Army would not be able to replace the Tang army and continue to defend the city wall.

Fortunately, as the besieging party, their casualties were greater. Just a personal estimate, Duan Yu guessed that the number of dead in the Youjun army was between 8,000 and 10,000, and the casualty ratio was about four to five times that of the Tang army's officers and soldiers.

Don't think that this number is ugly, as the besieging side, the ratio of soldiers and soldiers killed in battle has shrunk to one to four or five, which is enough to prove the strength of this dark army. Do you remember what was the ratio of battle losses between the Fangcai slave army and the county army? One to ten!

Gradually, the offensive of the Youjun army slowed down, and the soldiers of the Tang Army on the city wall were exhausted one by one.

A quarter of an hour may seem like a short time, but for both sides fighting on the battlefield, it is a long time, enough to exhaust physical strength and demoralize.

However, the Youjun army outside the city was more numerous, and they had the opportunity to attack in rotation, while the Tang army on the city wall did not.

What's even worse is that the soldiers outside the city, as well as the crossbowmen of the army

Escort shooting.

Once the momentum of the besieging Youjun was suppressed by the Tang army on the city wall, Zhang Lang, the general of the Youjun army, would temporarily let the soldiers withdraw from the city wall, and then send someone to urge another general, Jin Chong, to order his crossbowmen to launch several waves of volleys at the Tang army on the city wall.

At first, the Tang army suffered a loss in this tactic, they saw that the Youjun army outside the city not only stopped attacking, but also had the momentum of retreating, mistakenly thought that they had repelled the Youjun, and were about to cheer, but they were suddenly baptized by the rain of arrows from the crossbowmen of the Youjun army.

Some Tang soldiers who lost their shields during the battle for various reasons were killed by random arrows on the spot.

In desperation, the officers and men of the Tang Army could only swallow their cheers back into their stomachs, swallow their anger, and hide under their shields to resist the enemy's arrow rain.

This rain of arrows may be just a salvo, or it may be two or three rounds, and no one can guess what order the general of the Youjun army on the opposite side has issued.

What's worse is that sometimes the Tang army thinks it is a gap between two salvos, but the infantry of the ghost army on the opposite side suddenly attacked, and once again killed the Tang army by surprise.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Tang Army are thieves and thieves, clever people, and have a heart, and in the interval between the enemy's volleys, they know how to peek outside the city behind the battlements, otherwise they will be replaced by some wooden and wooden brains, and they will be attacked by the ghost army immediately.

Once the ghost army attacks the city in a big way, it is almost equivalent to a loss, and it is difficult to have a chance to recover.

Under the tactics of the Youjun, the Tang Army defended extremely hard, but even in this difficult situation, the Tang Army still showed extraordinary resilience, and made the Youjun outside the city return again and again.

Seeing that although the morale of the Tang army soldiers at the head of the city had not been discharged, their physical strength had been exhausted to the point of unstable foothold, and even Duan Yu began to consider the issue of reinforcements. He didn't understand why Meng Song, the commander of the Eighth Army, had delayed sending reinforcements.

You must know that on the eastern city wall, the Tang army only invested 10,000 people, and there are still 40,000 people who have not participated in the battle, plus the county army of 10,000, which is completely supported by reserve forces.

Even if Meng Song didn't move the 40,000 Tang troops in order to preserve his strength, he could only mobilize 10,000 county troops. Although those county soldiers may not be able to stop the Youjun army outside the city when they attack it in one go, if it is the Youjun army outside the city that has gradually slowed down the momentum of the siege, the county soldiers in the city can replace the soldiers of the Tang Army. As long as the county army obeys the command, it will not suffer too many casualties in the siege tactics of the Youjun army.
