Not far away, the other soldiers continued to fight with the skeletons.

The soldiers are very brave, although they have never met such a terrible opponent before, but the soldiers under the command of General Huyan are not ordinary soldiers, after years of training, they are all elite soldiers, they are not like those small countries around the Capricorn country, they are vulnerable.

The battle continued, with trebuchets throwing large stones at the skeletons, and the crossbows at the head of the city continued to shoot sharp bolts into the sky.

However, in the distance, Kanon still let out a spell calling out more skeletons and fire-breathing dragons, and the defenders of the city were fighting with all their might, and the number of casualties was increasing.

The fire in the city is getting worse and worse, and many houses have been burned down.

General Huyan stood tall on the tower, and with the help of a telescope, he saw in the distance the enemy position of Gartnu III, standing on a high slope and directing the attack of Canon, which was suspended in mid-air.

A fierce battle was going on, and after about an hour, the color of the blood moon in the sky gradually dimmed, and the color of blood that was hidden in the night sky gradually dissipated.

The skeletons that had begun to flood in grew weak and slowly retreated behind the position, only to disappear into the darkness among the dirt.

Without the cover of the Blood Moon, Charizard began to fly one by one into the dark clouds on the horizon, gradually disappearing into the distance.

When the defenders saw that the enemy was slowly dispersing, they breathed a sigh of relief, and some threw their spears on the ground and leaned against the walls to catch their breath.

Darkness returned to the battlefield, silence fell over the enemy positions, and only the light of torches could be seen on the hillside in the distance.

The soldiers of Gartnu blew the horn of the call to collect their troops, retreated to the camp and began to repair.

When Huyan Ruiqi saw that the enemy was retreating, he shouted for the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield, carrying the wounded soldiers to the city to bandage their wounds, and then the soldiers extinguished the flames that had been lit, and the pungent smell of fireworks emanated from the wet wood.

As the night wore on, the two sides died down, and the weary soldiers sat on the ground with their weapons in their arms and took a nap.

The next day, the imposing Gatnu III ordered the cavalry to block the main communication arteries into the main city.

The road leading to the outside of the city is blocked by Gartnu, which means that the outside traffic will be blocked, and the supplies to the city will be depleted.

The main city is in chaos, food and supplies will be cut off, and the soldiers and civilians in the city may run out of food and food, but the water in the city is abundant, and the water in many wells is still clean and clear.

General Huyan and Ruiqi sat in a private house to discuss the defense of the city, and it seemed that if the other two teams that came to besiege Gatnu could not reinforce the main city on time, the main city would be in trouble.

But the messenger was sent out, but there was still no news.

General Huyan ordered people to release carrier pigeons and send a message to the capital to reinforce the grain, grass and army. There is no time to wait for reinforcements from the other two teams, as long as the carrier pigeons fly to the capital, then the supporting grain and grass and troops will go to the main city one after another.

Some of the grain, grass and troops did not necessarily have to start from the capital, but transferred troops from the nearest garrison in the adjacent area to the main city, which was much faster.

The main city was trapped for several days, and the sun shone hotly on the land of the main city, which was extremely hot.

The food in the city is gradually running out, the grain in the granary is about to bottom, and the Raich is so depressed that there is nothing to eat, and the defenders and the people will fall into famine.

And Gatnu III, who was outside the city, did not seem to intend to attack the city immediately, but wanted to use the means of siege to bring the main city to death.

Ratch was so anxious that she sat in the house and couldn't think of a good strategy to deal with Gartnu's siege.

Whether to send elite soldiers to break through to find food and grass, or continue to wait for rescue.

He couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it, if he sent elite soldiers to break through the siege to find grain and grass, then how to enter the city was still a difficult problem.

If the rescue materials arrive near the main city, it can be regarded as a way to continue to send elite soldiers to break through the siege, break the blockade, and rush the supplies into the city.

However, even if you send troops to break through, you may be chased and intercepted by the strong cavalry sent by Gartnu, and you may end up in a tragic end.

When the rescue force will arrive has become a matter of urgency for Riich to calculate every day.

In her frustration, Ricky remembered the pigeon. It's been a long time since there has been any news from Yuxi, what happened to her, Ruich is a little relieved.

So Ruiqi sat down at the table and wrote a note: "Yuxi: The main city is besieged and caught in a fierce battle, and our soldiers are brave and brave to repel the enemy's attack. For the sake of the safety of the Central Plains fathers, I will do my best. When the siege of the main city is lifted, I will defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Riich. ”

After writing, Riich waited for the ink to dry, put the paper roll into the tube and tied it to the pigeon's leg, and then Riich took out the pigeon food and fed the pigeon.

In a short time, the white pigeon was full of food and drink, and looked at Riich cooing energetically.

Ricky reached out and took the pigeon out of the cage and held it in the palm of his hand, and went outside the house to release the pigeon.

The white dove hovered over the courtyard for a while, then flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

Riich built a pergola and watched the white dove fly away and gradually disappear into the distance. He hoped that the white dove would bring him the mood at this time, and although Richie was very anxious, he still hoped that Yuxi would be safe and sound in the distance.

Ruiqi walked out of the courtyard and went out into the street, only to see people with yellow faces and thin muscles holding porcelain bowls in front of the soup kitchens lined up in a long line, waiting to pour a scoop of rice soup into the bowl.

The main city is very large, surrounded by a city wall, and the houses in the city are surrounded by it, although there are many officers and soldiers defending the city, and the grain and grass that were originally brought into the city are also abundant, but because of the large number of people in the city, the consumption is very large.

After a few days of siege, there was no material delivery to the outside of the city, and the city began to fall into panic.

Riich walked down the street, looking at a depressed scene, the road was full of hungry people, and many houses on both sides had been reduced to ashes, leaving pieces of ruins.

Armed with weapons, soldiers lined up and walked back and forth on the roads to keep order in the city.

Ruiqi was sad along the way, and came to the main city with high morale, but after less than ten days, he fell into a predicament.

What was originally an optimistic idea has now turned into a self-review, and it seems that this time the defense of the city was a little unprepared, and was caught off guard by Gartnu III. There are so few supplies that we are now in a state of famine.

At this time, the messengers sent earlier also found their own teams one after another.

The two armies, which were about to outflank, were ordered to begin marching in the direction of the assembly of the Gartnu army.

They flanked Gartnu's flanks in pincers, one left and one right.
