Shrike and ten national workers gathered all the people in the capital to repair the destroyed section of the city wall overnight. In an emergency, of course, there was no time to organize the people to build the city with stones and rammed earth, but directly used the method of transporting imperial objects, so they filled it with mud and gravel, and at the same time condensed and strengthened it with mana, and finally made up this section of the city wall overnight.

The ten national workers did not rush to the gap during the day to fight directly, they retreated in time and did not fall into the strangulation of the chaotic army, and they played a role again at this moment, but after casting the spell overnight, they were exhausted along with the other co-workers, and if they wanted to recover their spiritual energy and mana, they might need to cultivate for a long time.

The various people in the city invisibly converged into a huge war ordnance, which ran non-stop overnight until dawn the next day. Shrike, who had been tired all night, stood on a high platform in the center of the city with Changling, looked out of the city and said: "If there is another wave of such an offensive from Xiangqi, I am afraid that Badu City will not be able to hold it." ”

Chang Ling shook his head and said, "Another wave? I think a strong attack of this scale can't be organized even if you are poor!"

The words were analyzed with divine thoughts. Xiang Poor used Soul Eater Smoke during the siege, which was clearly a desperate gamble. According to the information obtained by the young man from the Fateful Evil, sixty-seven Soul Eater Smoke was stored in the arsenal of the Prime Chamber. Although I don't know how many pieces he brought in total, he made thirty-six pieces in one go today.

It's possible that these Soul Eaters are all of them, and it's possible that there are more of them in the Xiangqiong Army, but in any case, this is the strongest blow of Xiangqiong's army. Only the Soul Eater Smoke is useless, and there must be someone who can rush to the front line of the battle array to sacrifice the Soul Eater Smoke, and when they take turns to attack the city, they gathered thirty-six Four Realm monks at one time, and suddenly shot out the Soul Eater Smoke at the same time, which is already an amazing big deal.

Even if he could use more Soul Devouring Smoke at the same time, it would be difficult to gather more Four Realm cultivators, and it would be unlikely that he would have another wave. On the other hand, the losses in terms of troops and ordnance were also very heavy, not to mention the blow to the morale of the siege.

That's all I said. Suddenly, I saw smoke rising in the distance to the northeast. The place was far away, but the smoke could be seen even in the capital, indicating that the fire on the ground was not small and stretched over a large area. Shrike was pleasantly surprised: "The secret trick left by the lord has been launched, and the general of the Northern Dao clan has finally succeeded!"

Chang Ling let out a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Berao can have a good rest, if you continue to hold on like this, I am afraid that you will damage your cultivation." "With their cultivation, of course, it is more convenient to talk with divine thoughts, but Fang Cai Shulao just opened his mouth to speak, and he was so tired that he couldn't even send out his divine thoughts.

......

The elders are good, and the poor army carries fifty Soul Eater Smoke. Thirty-six pieces were used in this siege. In fact, according to the plan of being poor, it is best to sacrifice all of them in one round of joint attacks, but it is really impossible to gather so many monks above the four realms. He couldn't put all the co-workers of the army to the front line of the battle formation in one attack, thirty-six soul devouring smoke attacked together, and then took the opportunity to form a formation and cast a spell to collapse the city wall, this was already the limit.

Xiang Poor did inflict heavy losses on the defenders of Badu City, and all the casualties in Bamu Country since the beginning of the war, including the battle of defending the pass, did not add up to the greater losses on this day. But at the same time, didn't the poor army also suffer a heavy setback? Xiang Qiong originally gave the order to die. The battle was bound to break through the city of Badu, but it was still unsuccessful.

The army of the Prime Minister's country also needs to rest, and it will not be able to launch an offensive of the same scale in a short time. Xiang Poor's face was extremely gloomy, and even his body felt cold and hot. I can barely suppress my irritable mood. The generals under his command didn't dare to talk to him, even if they reported the military situation and asked for the king's orders, they tried to keep their heads down and speak briefly.

Of course, he didn't fall asleep this night, and he was in a state of extreme excitement, emotion, and depression. His eyes were bloodshot, and it was not until dawn that he was confused for a while under the persuasion of his attendants. He hadn't been lying down for long. Another sergeant came to report: "Lord, it's not good, in the direction of the pass between Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain, a large amount of smoke is rising!"

Before the sergeant could finish speaking, he was kicked out by the guards. At this time, this kind of news was sent, and the poor who was awakened probably even had the heart to kill, and put the lord's sword next to the bed without looking at it?

He rushed out of the house without even getting dressed, and when he looked up, there was smoke in the distance, and it was flying higher and higher...... It didn't dissipate until after noon.

......

Destroyed by the fire were the grain fleet vehicles in the rear of the Xiangmuro National Army, which arrived at the Pengshan and Zhangrenshan Pass last night.

It is impossible for everyone to have the magical ability to see at night, and the ox cart team transporting grain and grass needs to stay overnight, escorted by military formations along the way, and the place to rest at night is a pre-selected camp. However, if you want to ensure the safety of the grain route, the most important thing is not to send an army to escort it, but to have a stable rear area that has cleared the remnants of the enemy in the occupied area.

Yue Xuan, the general of the town of Xiangmuro Country, was in Yeliang City, and there were no remnants of the Bamuro Kingdom in the city, but he didn't expect that a surprise attack on the army formation of the grain team suddenly appeared. The establishment of this army formation is not neat, there are only more than 30 people in total, but all of them are monks of the Four Realms, and the leader is the general of the Northern Dao Clan who has been transformed into the Nine Realms of the Five Realms.

The Northern Dao Clan led the monks on duty in the Pengshan Forbidden Land to lurk nearby in the darkness. When dawn came, the garrison at the pass lit a fire to make breakfast as usual, and the convoy carrying military rations had already finished breakfast and set off. The vehicles in front gradually left the pass, and the last ox cart loaded with military rations had just started, when the Beidao clan suddenly attacked.

Although the combat effectiveness of these monks was far stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, the Northern Dao Clan did not forcibly seize the pass, and did not even entangle with the guards of the pass, but led the crowd to set fire to those vehicles. They used unconventional tactics, attacking grain trucks rather than killing enemies, working together to break giant trees from high places and smash them into vehicles by igniting blazing fires.

The grain carts were overturned, and frightened cattle and horses rushed in all directions, mingling with the burning giant trees, blocking the road outside the pass. It was difficult for the army to come to the rescue, and they first had to cross the road blocked by burning trees, and even if they rushed through, they would be helpless in the face of the fire - there was no water on either side of the road!

The casualties were not severe, but the military rations were all burned, and the ash wreckage of grain wagons and trees blocked the roads, and it took a long time for many people to clean up before traffic could be restored. The Beidao clan not only burned this large amount of military rations, but also temporarily cut off the road between Pengshan and Zhangrenshan Pass, making it impossible for a large number of follow-up men and materials to pass through Guò in a short time.

After the completion of this task, the Northern Dao clan did not fall in love with the battle, and led the monks to withdraw to the deep mountains and dense forests in time. The general said to everyone: "Next, you can go back to the Pengshan Forbidden Land to cultivate, and if you want, you can also wait for the defeat of the poor army, and continue to follow me to serve the lord's army." ”

Just this time, you can get the reward promised by Shaowu. If you are willing to continue to serve the army, of course, the young man is more welcome. But now is not the time, these people need to wait until they are defeated. With this premise, of course, it is a new contribution after the victory of Bamuro, and everyone present expressed their willingness.

......

Xiang Poor saw the smoke in the distance and immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation. The people sent here haven't come back yet, and the people who report from the side of the pass have arrived.

At noon on this day, Xiang Poor received two battle reports at the same time, sent by the same person. This person is from the national capital, and he is an elite warrior who has cultivated martial arts, and is very good at royal cars. He came all the way from the capital of Xiangmuro, changed many horses along the way, and came to see Xiangqi at the fastest speed almost without delay.

Coincidentally, this messenger was also at the Pengshan and Zhangrenshan Pass in the early hours of this morning, and there was an urgent military situation, and he set off before the caravan of horses and horses transporting grain and grass, and he was also the only vehicle that escaped from that pass at present, so he also knew what was happening in the early morning.

A large amount of military rations were burned outside the fortified checkpoints in the rear, which not only meant that the front-line army would run out of food, but also dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the whole army, not to mention that it happened just after the siege suffered a heavy setback. It is not clear who attacked the grain convoy, but if something like this happened, it meant that the rear was not stable, and it was likely that enemy reinforcements had arrived and were trying to take their rear.

If such news spreads in the barracks, it is inevitable that frustration, disappointment, and panic will spread among the officers and men on the front line. Xiang Poor's first reaction was to scold Yue Xuan, the general of the town state, who was sitting in the rear, and his most important task was to supervise the movement of possible reinforcements from the country and keep the logistics and baggage transportation routes safe and smooth.

Someone made a surprise attack on the Pengshan and Zhangrenshan passes, and was able to burn all the military rations, and blocked the road with burning grain trucks and giant trees, why didn't General Yuexuan notice and guard against it in advance?

But Xiang Poor didn't have the heart to scold Yue Xuan anymore, because there was another news that shocked him, he jumped up with a scream in front of the generals, vomited blood and fainted on the spot!

The messenger who reported the news was from the national capital, and he was urgently dispatched by Bingzheng Yuxuan. The news he was originally going to deliver was: Yuxuan gathered a large army and fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Ba Mu State army led by Shao Wu on the plain at the junction of the national capital and Taihe City. After a day of fierce fighting, Yuxuan was defeated and fled back to the capital with the remnants of his army.

Lord Bingzheng Yuxuan, who stayed behind in the prison country, believed that after the defeat of the army, the national capital would be difficult to defend, and it was inevitable that it would be besieged by Shaowu, and I was afraid that it would be attacked by Shaowu soon. At that time, the connection between Ryoma City in the south and other cities in the country will be cut off, which also means that the back road of the poor army will be completely cut off.
