Chapter 271: Finally I Can Go Home!

Soon, Zhao Da went back and forth.

"Uncle, the sixth prince agreed." He said.

Hearing this news, Liu Mo's heart was not happy for a while.

If the siege battle lasts for more than five days, what kind of purgatory on earth will become in Minghaiguan!

Foul-smelling corpses littered the walls, the blood of warriors stained the entire land, and countless crows fell to the ground pecking...

Liu Mo didn't want to think about it, but he had to think about it.

What Liu Mo didn't expect was that the six princes were even more ruthless than himself, not only did he order that the corpses of his soldiers were not allowed to be recovered, but also let his soldiers keep an eye on the defenders of Ming Customs all night.

As soon as you find out that the other party wants to try to recover the body, shoot mercilessly!

Corpses piled up near the city walls will emit a foul smell over time and are more likely to cause plague. It is the defenders who are more affected, not the attackers.

Early the next morning, Liu Mo joined the siege force again.

Now is the critical moment of the battle, as the commander-in-chief of the front, he can't stay in the wounded barracks for too long, which will have too much impact on the soldiers of the soldiers.

Although Zhu Min, Zhao Da and others tried their best to dissuade them, Liu Mo still went without hesitation.

Coming to the city wall, Liu Mo frowned.

The progress of the siege was not very smooth, and it was not easy to storm the city walls, but the defenders stubbornly drove them back.

Under Zhu Min's pressure, the reinvigorated attacking soldiers attacked again, and the city was unpredictable for a while.

After several changes of hands, both sides paid a heavy price of casualties, until dusk, relying on the large gap in the city wall that the siege vehicles had knocked open, the attacking soldiers who were blocked outside the city finally broke through the city gate.

They swarmed in, and the first wall fell completely into the hands of the attackers.

From the gate of Minghaiguan to the entrance of the crack on the bright moon, there is only a distance of three thousand steps, and there are two other city walls in between, one of which is extremely wide. It stretches from the gate to the end.

The road is lined with rows of houses, but they have all been converted into makeshift barriers.

After the first wall was lost, the defenders retreated to the road from the gate to the exit.

Although the defenders still have the last two walls to rely on, the attacker can completely occupy the first wall and take advantage of the loopholes in the level's structure.

Because the design of the city wall was originally aimed at the north, the attackers could first be said to attack from inside the city to outside the city, and the defenders no longer had much geographical advantage.

But the attackers also have difficulties.

First of all, the road was difficult to follow due to the mountainous terrain, and the remnants of the defenders were now standing behind the makeshift fortifications, bending their bows and arrows, and quietly waiting for the attackers to approach.

Although they were a temporary conscripted miscellaneous army, the momentum they showed was not inferior to Liu Mo's army that wanted to go home.

Their unwavering determination exerted great mental pressure on the attacking side.

Liu Mo knew that these 3,000 steps were very difficult to walk!

As it gets late, the besieging soldiers begin to light torches that illuminate the small level.

With Liu Mo's order, the final attack began.

Liu Mo, Zhao Da, Zhu Min, Lu Sheng, Sun Kan, several of them took turns to fight, leading the most elite troops to engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.

Just like the last battle to defend Rongcheng, the streets were full of obstacles, and Liu Mo's strength advantage could not be brought into play at all, and the battle evolved into a tug-of-war inch by inch.

The long streets were suddenly stained red with blood.

The soldiers on both sides knew that the battle had entered the white heat, and the next battle was about life and death on both sides, and they had to give it their all.

Countless figures advanced and retreated in the firelight, until the soldiers on both sides kicked and fought with blood-red eyes, slashing and slashing with all their might.

When the knife is broken, it bites with teeth, hits with fists, kicks with feet, and everything from the blade to the weapon given by the parents comes in handy.

Arrows flew in the air, indiscriminately attacking the soldiers on both sides.

Although the offensive did not go well, it developed in a favorable situation.

At midnight, the second wall was breached.

Then, Liu Mo was full of energy, and finally when it was close to dawn, the attacking troops had advanced to the entrance of the crack in Mingyue Mountain less than a hundred steps.

Now it is Bai Chengzong's subordinates who are in charge of the attack, Liu Mo and others have been fighting for a day and a night, and it is time to replace them with a new force.

They were followed by the main force led by the Six Princes, and when Bai Chengzong retreated, they would immediately rush forward and take their place.

When the troops of the Six Princes were tired, Liu Mozai led the troops to take their place.

Everyone takes turns to go into battle and take turns to rest.

As for the buildings on both sides of the street, if they fought one by one, the casualties would be very large, so Liu Mo suggested using this simple and crude way to deal with it.

Burn everything that can be burned, and destroy everything that can be destroyed!

It's a lot of work, but it's very effective, so you don't have to worry about a sneak attack by a defender in your house!

Relying on this tactic, the attackers forced a passage in the strong defensive line of the defenders.

Of course, the price paid was extremely tragic, and in just 2,000 steps, more than 4,000 soldiers died in the long streets.

After attacking dozens of steps forward, the entrance was within reach, and now there were only a few hundred defenders in front of Liu Mo. Each of them still has injuries.

However, it was such a group of soldiers who were still gritting their teeth in front of them, not giving an inch.

"It's so tenacious." Liu Mo couldn't help but sigh, "These are my Great Xia soldiers, great men in Great Xia!" ”

Although it was an enemy at the moment, the tenacity of the defenders made Liu Mo and the others awe-inspired.

Finally, when there were only a few dozen steps left at the entrance, the attack order of the Six Princes was also issued.

"Attack with all your might, break through here, and we can go home."

Victory was in sight, and the morale of the exhausted soldiers was suddenly boosted, and they fought forward like fierce beasts.

Under the overwhelming offensive, the last resistance of the defenders seemed so pale and powerless, and the last stone that stood in front of Liu Mo and others was finally removed, and the way home was opened

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Liu Mo sighed.

After a day and a night, he sat down on the ground with his back against the cold stone wall, and let out a long sigh.

"This is the way home!" After resting for a while, Liu Mo raised his head and looked at the passage.

The straight plank road stretches from under you to the south, and the visual distance is at least thirty miles.

It's amazing how nature can form such a jaw-dropping passage.

The passage is very narrow, and from the entrance, the widest point can only accommodate seven or eight people walking side by side.

It would take at least half a day for an army of more than 100,000 troops to pass through here, and since it was a natural formation and the rocks on both sides were very strong, it was not practical to widen the passage.

But the obstacles have been removed, and the joy of returning home makes the soldiers extremely excited.

The sky is starting to turn white, dawn breaks through the darkness, and the Great Xia soldiers who have left home can finally go home!
