Chapter 500: Stalemate

This is war, war is about death, and if you can, no one wants to participate in such a war, because when you go to the battlefield, no one knows if you can go back alive.

However, the enemy invaded, and as warriors in the underground world of Huaguo, they could not retreat and escape, if even they did not go to the battlefield, then who would resist the enemy's invasion?

If the enemy's iron cavalry cannot be stopped, the 1.3 billion civilians of China will be ruthlessly trampled by the enemy.

As the descendants of Yan and Huang and the descendants of the dragon, even if they knew that they were likely to die in battle, what would they do? They also went without hesitation, and in the end they were just killed on the battlefield and shrouded in horse leather.

"Quick, the enemy is not moving, everyone hurry back to their respective posts. ”

The catapults of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army attacked for ten minutes before they stopped.

The lord of Huaguo listened carefully and found that there was no movement on the city wall, so he beckoned everyone and hurried back to the city wall.

"Let's go!"

When Chen Jian heard this, he waved his hand, took the dead soldiers of the Chen family, and re-ascended the city wall of Shanhaiguan.

At this time, the city wall of Shanhaiguan was in a mess, with boulders, hot oil, and flames all over the place.

Chen Jian first asked people to pack up these things, so as to avoid being tied up when the big battle came, and the boulder could also be used as a weapon to re-attack the enemy army, which could be regarded as saving supplies.

"Archer, prepare!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

The calm voice of the lord of Hua Guo sounded.

Suddenly, in the sky above Shanhaiguan, an overwhelming rain of arrows poured down.

Chen Jian looked down through the battlements on the city wall, and it turned out that the Red Cross Expeditionary Army had readjusted its battle formation and launched an attack on Shanhaiguan again.

For siege warfare, the cavalry was not of much use, so it was always in the rear of the entire large army, ready to go.

And the vanguard of the Red Cross Crusade, the infantry corps, once again came to the city.

Although the effect of releasing arrows on the shield legion is not great, it can also delay the enemy's movements, and by the way, shoot some shield soldiers to destroy the enemy's living force.

Therefore, the lord of Huaguo was not distressed, and let the archers keep shooting arrows at the enemy below as if they didn't want money.

However, when the shields of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army advanced to less than 500 meters from the Shanhaiguan wall, the archers of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army's archers began to fire arrows at the Shanhaiguan wall.

As a last resort, the Chinese warriors could only hide behind the city wall and did not dare to show their heads, while the infantry corps and chariot corps of the Red Cross Eastern Expeditionary Army began to charge, and after arriving at the bottom of the Shanhaiguan city wall, they immediately set up a ladder to attack the city.

At this time, the archers of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army also stopped archery, and the Chinese warriors on the wall of Shanhaiguan immediately threw stones, hot oil, and arrows at the enemy below, doing everything possible to prevent the enemy from climbing the city wall.

The two sides fought fiercely for a full hour, and the commander of the Red Cross Crusade gave the order for Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

The infantry corps and chariot corps of the Red Cross Expeditionary Army quickly retreated, and the catapult corps began to attack, throwing boulders, hot oil, and fireballs towards the Shanhaiguan wall.

Seeing this, the Chinese warriors did not hesitate, immediately retreated, and ran to the bottom of the city wall, and some warriors did not have time to evacuate, and were stoned to death and burned to death on the spot.

The two sides are attacking and defending, constantly going back and forth, and they are stalemate with each other.

At night, the Red Cross Expeditionary Force had not attacked the city for three hours, and the group of Chen Jian, who had been defending the city for a day, was also rotated and handed over to the second group to garrison the city wall.

In the barracks, the Chen family inspected the casualties of the Chen family's dead soldiers, and in this 100-day battle, the Chen family's dead soldiers suffered three-tenths of the casualties, and suffered heavy losses.

Although Chen Jian felt distressed in his heart, he did not mean to let the Chen family's dead soldiers evacuate, if the Chen family's dead soldiers had stayed in the Chen family's ancestral land and had not experienced the test of blood and fire, they would never be able to become a truly qualified dead soldier, let alone support a Chen family that was about to become stronger.

Therefore, for the sake of the future of the Chen family, Chen Jian can only exercise the Chen family in this way, which is the best and fastest way to grow.

At night, ordinary Chinese warriors were a little exhausted from fighting all day, and fell into a sweet sleep in their respective camps.

However, the leaders of the large, medium and small forces in the underground world of Huaguo gathered in the brightly lit hall and held a meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in today's battle, the Red Cross Expeditionary Army is menacing and fierce, but our Chinese warriors did not disappoint me, they are all iron heroes, killing the enemy on the city wall, fighting bloodily, and not weakening the prestige of our Chinese country. ”

"But the situation is still not optimistic, the Red Cross Crusade is highly disciplined, well-organized, well-equipped, and the siege equipment is sufficient, and the pressure we face is still very great. ”

"Moreover, in today's battle, the total number of Chinese warriors defending the city is more than 30,000, and according to the statistics of those in power of the major families, by the time of the second batch of rotations, there will be 3,000 wounded and 2,000 dead. ”

"This statistic is shocking! In just one day of fighting, we suffered 5,000 casualties, and we also occupied the favorable time and place in Shanhaiguan, so that the losses were minimized. ”

Hua Guo's face was slightly gloomy, and he took these data one by one, and his tone was very heavy.

The leaders of the underground forces of Huaguo who were present were silent when they heard this, and among the lists of these casualties were the disciples of their respective family forces.

What's more, the friends who have been meeting together in the hall these days to discuss things have died on the battlefield today, and heaven and man are separated forever.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the dead are gone, the living should be self-motivated, the war is not over, the enemy has not retreated, our mission is still not over, everyone must cheer up. ”

The words of encouragement from the lord of Hua Guo made everyone present feel a little better.

"Although our casualties are very large, but the enemy, as the besieging party, has spent more manpower, material resources, financial resources and energy, and their casualties are also greater, so we should not be discouraged, as long as everyone works together and fights bravely to kill the enemy, we will definitely be able to drive the enemy out of the land of Huaguo. ”

The lord of Hua continued to encourage, so that everyone could regain their confidence and fight to the sky.

"Yes!"

When everyone heard this, they stood up one after another and saluted the lord of Huaguo.

In today's battle, the lord of Huaguo was calm and well-planned, minimizing the casualties of Huaguo's warriors and successfully repelling the enemy's attacks again and again.

Therefore, the admiration of everyone present for the lord of China is from the heart, and there is no deception.

"Sit down, everybody, and let's talk about the situation at hand. ”

The lord of Huaguo didn't dare to bear such a big gift, so he hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, and then said.
