The frightened horsemen fled back to their own military camp, and one of them rushed into the handsome camp as if he was galloping, kneeling on the ground and shouting: "My lord, the Xia people have shot all the pioneers who persuaded them to surrender under the gate of Bazhou. ”

"Now that you have been shot, go with you. Generalissimo Lei just said coldly.

The life of a soldier is like an ant without a hole, like a grass on the side of the road, trampled on by others.

The most pitiful thing is that the soldier who reported the news didn't even have the courage to survive for himself, and the only thing he could do was to tremble in panic.

"Pull it out and cut it. ”

A few guards carried the messenger out of the camp with ease, like cold-blooded beasts. When he died, the pawn couldn't figure it out, he didn't die in the battle on the battlefield, but he died under his own sword.

"Give the order to go down, and the whole army will attack. ”

The generals replied, "Command." ”

The black pressed a large army into several long serpentine shapes and marched towards Bazhou City. The nearly 500,000 troops of the Orbin Empire must take Bazhou today.

The army approached the city, and the two armies were only thirty or fifty zhang apart, plus a moat in front of the city wall that was more than ten zhang wide. The Orbin Legion has set up countless siege crossbows and thousands of trebuchets.

Listening to the order of Marshal Lei, who was only commanding in the rear, the war drums sounded, and the long hairs shot from the giant crossbow, the boulders thrown by the trebuchets and the canisters filled with fuel flew towards the city of Bazhou like demons. Suddenly the sky was colorless, and the only thing left was the sound of the spear and boulder rubbing against the air in flight, 'Buzz......'

In an instant, countless houses in Bazhou City were collapsed, and countless people were killed and injured. The impregnable walls were also blasted out by boulders, with many deep pits and cracks.

After a round of long-distance attack, the war drums sounded again, and countless infantrymen rushed to the moat in groups of several people and threw them into the river in groups of several people carrying rafts, and building many bridges across the river in the fastest way.

When the army was spread two or three feet, he suddenly heard the sound of killing on the city wall. In a matter of seconds, thousands of bows and crossbows were fired in a volley, and tens of thousands of Orbin soldiers became the souls of the arrows.

Seeing that the enemy's counterattack was so fierce, the commander surnamed Lei gave an order to let the front line continue to throw stones and spears and attack from afar. At the same time, the infantry raised their shields and advanced forward at the same time, but in the face of the rain of arrows, how could the big shield of the dustpan protect it, it was just to reduce the mortality rate.

It took an hour to complete the moat of the raft, but tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded. General Lei, who supervised the battle on the high ground in the rear, saw that he could not capture the gate of Bazhou City for a long time, and he also had a lot of worries in his heart.

Although he spared the lives of his subordinates, he spared his own lives, if Bazhou lost too many soldiers in the first battle, even after breaking through Bazhou City, what would he do to expand his territory for his king after heavy losses.

The most ridiculous thing is that he knew that the enemy reinforcements had entered the city, but he still chose to attack, and Top Gun vowed to take Bazhou.

attack, will add countless souls. Retreat, all previous sacrifices will be in vain. The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

In a dilemma, he finally chose Mingjin to withdraw his troops. It's just that those soldiers who lie in pools of blood, but the soldiers on the raft can no longer go back, and there are countless people who float on the surface of the river and sink into the river.

When the night was dark, the number of people in the city had been counted, and there were less than 80,000 capable of fighting. The two brothers, Yunzheng and Yuntong, stood on the city wall, looking at the pitch black in front of them, smelling the cold smell of blood in the wind, and smelling the mournful wail of the soldier who was not yet dead, and the two brothers were speechless. Fighting tiger brothers, father and son soldiers are just them at this moment.

After a long time, Yun Tong said, "Brother, how long can we last?"

Yun Zheng is silent,

Yun Tong muffled for a while and then asked, "Do you say that the king will send troops to support?" ”

Yun Zheng looked at his younger brother who was standing side by side with him, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and replied: "The king will send troops, according to the current situation, it should be okay for us to hold out for ten days." The king's reinforcements will arrive in ten days, so don't worry. ”

"But," Yun Tong didn't continue.

Seeing that Yun Tong was silent, Yun Zheng smiled and asked, "But what is it?"

Yun Tong saw his brother asking, so he had to explain honestly: "We are all marching in a hurry, and the soldiers have only prepared three days of dry food, and it has taken two days on the road, and there will be no food to satisfy hunger tomorrow." ”

"You stupid boy, this Bazhou has only been held for a few days, and you are still afraid of running out of supplies?" Yun Zheng said with a smile.

Yun Tong had to scratch his head in embarrassment and didn't answer again.

"Alright, you go and rest first, maybe when they will come and sneak attack. ”

When Yun Tong heard what his brother said, he asked with some surprise: "They have such heavy losses during the day, and they dare to come to attack at night?"

Yunzheng put his hands on the wall of his daughter, "Anything is possible." So you go and rest quickly, and give the order to let the whole army rest quickly, for there will be a battle in the middle of the night. ”

Yun Tong replied: "Yes, brother, you should also hurry up and rest earlier." ”

"Go ahead. After Yun Tong walked away, Yun Zheng summoned the general of the night watch soldiers on the city wall and ordered: "Take two teams of men and horses to the outside of the city and start a bonfire, remember that the fire must be burned over the ugly time." Be sure to cheer up tonight, and when the ugly hour comes, you will need to shoot ten rockets in different directions outside the city. ”

The little general arched his hand and replied: "My subordinates have an order." ”

After speaking, Yun Zheng randomly found a secluded place on the city wall, backed a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Sure enough, at the end of the ugly hour, through the light of the rockets that had been fired and still burning, and the few unburned bonfires, the sentry clearly saw someone flashing, and the sentry shouted: "Enemy spotted, enemy spotted." ”

The sentry shouted only twice, and countless canisters full of burning oil were thrown out of the city at the same time, and thousands of flaming rockets rushed out of the city walls, followed by a rain of arrows. The enemy troops who came to attack the field were all lightly armed at this moment, and they could not resist at all for a while, and they could only hear the wails of countless people echoing in the sea of fire.

The front line reported back to the ears of Generalissimo Lei, and the sneak attack was fruitless, but the enemy was ambushed, and his own side lost more than 30,000 soldiers.

At this second, Generalissimo Lei panicked, he couldn't sit still, and if he continued to fight like this, it wouldn't be long before these soldiers had to let him finish his hoat. He was afraid, afraid that his mistakes would ruin the glory he had gained over the years, including his life.

However, when he really became the commander of an army, the war was not as he wanted, but he would be so imbecile.

Marshal Lei had no choice but to order the troops to retreat again, but at the same time he had in mind that he had beheaded the strategist who proposed the night attack.

Early in the morning, under the order of Fu You, Feng Wulin's 100,000 forward army was the left route army, and Ge Xin's 100,000 center army was the other route army.

Fu You camped five miles behind Bazhou City to command.
