At the same time, outside the county, several fast horses galloped into the city and came to the county office.

This is a scout sent out by Wang Bo, mainly responsible for monitoring the Youjun and finding out the news of the Youjun.

At this time, Wang Bo was surrounding the sand table with the generals and colonels of the Tenth Army, which clearly marked the battle at this time. Wang Bo frowned, looking at the battle situation between the enemy and us on the sand table, and was silent. Wang Pu, Ju Meng, and Yang Qin discussed in detail the next actions of the Tenth Army.

"Report! ——」

The scout's shouting attracted the attention of everyone in the house, and the scout walked quickly into the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he gave a military salute and said, "Marshal, there is a military situation!"

Wang Bo looked at the scout and said, "Say! What's going on with Zhuolu now?"

The scout replied, "Returning to the military commander, the 400,000 troops of Youguo have arrived outside Zhuolu County, and they have not set up camp, and have directly launched a siege battle."

Wang Bo then asked, "How is the battle?"

The scout replied, "I just received information that the Spectrophic army did not attack the city walls, and they suffered heavy losses, estimated to have suffered 30,000 casualties."

Hearing this, everyone present immediately looked solemn. Such large casualties are enough to show the tragedy of the war.

Wang Bo then asked, "Has the situation of the Youjun been discovered? What is the situation in the direction of the military capital pass?"

The scout took out a bamboo tube from his bosom and offered it with both hands, Wang Pu stepped forward to take it, and handed it to Wang Bo.

Wang Bo finished reading the military report in the bamboo tube, and said to the generals in the house: "The Seventh Army has marched to the vicinity of Junduguan under the leadership of Song Wenbai, and there are 10,000 garrisons in Junduguan at this time, and Song Junshuai said that he will do his best to take Guancheng."

Wang Pu said, "Lord Wang, if the Song military commander can take the military capital pass, then the battle situation will be clear. But if you can't take the army, you will be shut down......

Wang Pu's words were not finished, but Wang Bo knew what he meant. I saw Wang Bo wave his hand and said, "The military capital is far away from us, what we have to do now is to support Zhuolu." Summoned Shao Hongxuan and Zhou Yi, they should make a move, let Zhou Yi and Shao Hongxuan's troops dispatch from Pan County to support Zhuolu."

The setting sun sprinkled the last afterglow on the earth, which should have been a quiet and beautiful scene, but at this time on the battlefield of Zhuolu County, the war was still going on.

Half an hour ago, Niu Ba, the general of the Youjun Army, led 50,000 soldiers to attack the northern city wall of Zhuolu County.

The Second Division of the Eighth Army, under the leadership of division commander Zhu Heng, did its best to resist and block the attack of the Youjun army.

"Kill! ——」

"Die!"

Roars and screams, one after another, a Tang sergeant fell with the last nostalgia and regret for the world, and turned into a gradually cold corpse.

However, more Tang troops are still struggling to resist, and they all know what the consequences will be once the city is breached by the Youjun army.

In the melee at the head of the city, two soldiers of the Youjun army forcibly attacked the head of the city, and with a vigorous swing and stabbing, the Tang soldiers defending the city were forced to retreat again and again.

"Kill!"

At that moment, with a roar, a figure rushed forward, spear in his hand stabbing at one of the ghostly soldiers.

Seeing this, the morale of the nearby Tang soldiers was greatly boosted.

"Master !!"

In the admiring eyes of the Tang soldiers, the division commander Zhu Heng stabbed the two soldiers to death, shook his spear, threw the corpses under the city wall, and immediately gasped and shouted, "Brothers, hold on! Victory is ours!"

Zhu Heng's bravery made the morale of the second division, which had already fallen, climb again. The Tang soldiers shouted one after another: "Wan Sheng!!"

The excited Tang soldiers seemed to have regained their strength and launched a counteroffensive against the Tang army besieging the city, forcibly pressing back the momentum of the Youjun army's attack and blocking the Youjun's offensive.

Inside the city gate tower, Meng Song stood there, learning about the battle situation in Zhuolu County through the scouts. There was deep concern in his eyes.

There is no other reason, but because the casualties and losses of the Tang army are too serious. As of now

At this moment of sunset, the defenders of Zhuolu County can clearly identify the soldiers killed in battle, there are 10,000 soldiers, including 7,000 Tang troops and 3,000 county soldiers. If the siege battle is calculated according to this casualty, it is estimated that he will be able to hold it for seven days, and he will be able to reach the sky.

Li Xian broke in from outside the door, came to Meng Song panting, and said in a deep voice: "Marshal, the hidden army outside the city has not retreated for a long time, and we must find a way to stop the enemy army from attacking the city!"

Meng Songkou looked at the dense soldiers outside the city with an uncertain expression, he knew that Li Xian was right, the soldiers outside the city had a deep obsession with capturing Zhuolu before sunset today.

If the Tang army can exert an overwhelming advantage, it may be able to scare the other side away. But unfortunately, the Tang army defended very hard and reluctantly, which invisibly boosted the morale of the Youjun army, making them firmly believe that they could break through the city in the next moment.

This has led the two sides to a stalemate in a tug-of-war. That's right, you must find a way to stop the Phantom army from attacking the city as soon as possible.

"Coax! Coax! Coax!"

A huge sound like thunder sounded from outside the city, and Meng Song suddenly looked up, and saw more than a dozen huge siege towers, as well as several crashing cars, heading towards Zhuolu.

When Li Xian saw this scene, his whole person was speechless. After the Ghost Army Flying Ladder was consumed, the Cloud Ladder was used. Compared to the flying ladder, the ladder is not threatened by fork rods and pry bars at all, so the ghost army has always been able to attack the city head non-stop.

Now that the siege tower and the rushing car have been used, it can be seen that the main general of the Youjun army, Taiwei Han Xuan, is determined to capture the city.

Meng Song's heart sank, and he said to Li Xian, "The oil canisters collected earlier can come in handy, and if there are any remaining clay cans, they are all gathered and ready to deal with these siege beasts."

Zhuolu County, North City Wall

Zhu Heng led the soldiers of the Tang Army of the Second Division and worked hard to kill the enemy. The fork rod and pry bar that were prepared earlier came in handy at this time.

With a roar and a shout, many Tang soldiers carried a slightly cumbersome pry bar to overturn one flying ladder after another outside the city. Each time a ladder was overturned, they let out a cheer to boost morale.

Listening to the cheers on the city wall, Zhu Ba, the general of the Youjun army outside the city, frowned deeply.

Taiwei Han Xuan sent him to attack the northern city wall, which was both a feint attack and a real attack.

The so-called feint attack was to ask him to attract a part of the defenders of Zhuolu County, disperse the garrison of Zhuolu County, and share the pressure on his colleague Zhang Lang to attack the east city wall.

The so-called actual attack means that Han Shu allowed him to act at the opportunity. As long as you can break through the city wall and enter the city, whether it is the east wall or the north wall, the effect is the same.

As one of Han Xu's subordinate generals, Zhu Ba did not have the idea of fighting for merit, so when he led 50,000 soldiers and soldiers to the north city wall, he did not consider the problem of feints at all, and only thought about leading the army to defeat the defenders of the north city wall and break Zhuolu before Zhang Lang.
