CHAPTER XXXVII

Li Ming came at a bad time, and before he finished speaking, he was sprayed with salt water on his face by General Li, who was resentful like an angry little daughter-in-law, staring directly at General Li.

"What are you talking about? Captured Ruan Guan's battalion? Completely annihilated? Killed Ruan Guan? Wait, wait!" beckoned a small soldier, and his face was a slap, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt!" replied the soldier with a puffed chest.

"Sure enough, it's sleepwalking, just go back and squint again......." General Li muttered about to return to the account.

Nima, spray Lao Tzu with water, and hurry back to return to his life, how can I have time to grind with you, look down, there is a broom, pick it up and hit General Li's buttocks.

"General, does it hurt, does it hurt, go quickly!"

General Li thought of countless possibilities, including Liu Qi's rebellion and teaming up with Ruan Guan, blaming himself for the past, etc., and arrived at the camp of the Moon Kingdom all the way to the camp of the Moon Kingdom, only to confirm that everything was true, and it was too bad for Lao Tzu to be promoted and make a fortune.

General Li's face was full of red light, and he listened carefully to Li Ming's report on the fourth edition of the legend of the night attack.

"Leave the aftermath to the adults, and I will continue to be my scout!" Liu Qi deliberately accentuated the tone of the word scout.

General Li's old face turned red and said: "Brother, brother, I have been thinking about it for a long time, it is more suitable for the warrior battalion to be a pioneer!"

"Then thank you, brother!" turned to leave.

"Brother go slowly! There is one more thing, you look at this military report....... General Li secretly sent Qiu Bo to twist and pinch.

"Brother just look at it, and I'll have to trouble my brother about these things in the future, hehe. "I'll tell you! Military merits are available, you can report them casually! If you dare to monopolize them, it will be guaranteed to be the last time.

For the information of the civil strife in the month, Liu Qi suddenly had selective amnesia, this is a disease, and it will be treated later.

Xingguo Xi County, after the stone throwing truck poured more than half an hour of boulders into the city wall of Xi County. Suddenly, the attack stopped on three sides, and the soldiers defending the city of Xingguo were terrified, and the rumbling sound of drums came from three sides outside the city.

Rows of neat soldiers of the Yueguo Army came out of the ranks, everyone held a horizontal knife and a long lance, like an ant, and the black pressure poured towards the city wall, and every ten steps there were soldiers carrying a long ladder, jumping into the moat one after another, and putting the ladder on both sides of the river......

The soldiers of the Moon Army all over the mountains hissed and shouted for killing. The water swept towards the head of the city like a mountain of gold, and the Xingguo soldiers at the head of the city were not to be outdone. When the Moon Army was more than a hundred paces away from the city wall, they shot with their bows mercilessly, and both the attacking and defending sides slaughtered each other with all their strength to fight for their own survival.

Zhu Han, the commander of the Moon Army, immediately crossed the sword, and on a small hillside outside the city, his face with a beautiful three-strand long beard was expressionless. The huge cowhide drum beside him rumbled all the time, and under the horse's hooves, the sand of the earth jumped uneasily to the rhythm of the giant drum.

Watching the soldiers of the Moon Army cross the moat one after another, rush to the city wall, set up a ladder and climb up as if they were dying, and the soldiers below kept covering it with crossbow arrows. And the Xingguo soldiers used hook and sickle spears to push away the ladder at the head of the city, or simply poured a layer of boiling oil on the ladder, Zhu Han watched countless soldiers fall to the ground from the nearly ten zhang high city wall, or were poured with boiling oil, holding their heads and letting out a heart-rending howl.

Zhu Han's heart was full of anxiety, Ruan Guan's death made him feel desperate, this young general who was known as the star of the famous generals of the Moon Country, and was the brother-in-law of the current Moon Emperor and the younger brother of Empress Ruan.

The soldiers who escaped and came back to report were all cut off by him, and the unbelievable battle report made him angry, and the cavalry of two or three hundred people, attacking the strong camp of thousands of people, actually won a complete victory, and almost completely annihilated the Yue Army in the battalion, these deserters seriously insulted their IQ, and became the souls of the sword one by one.

The death of Ruan Guan strengthened the determination of the nearly sixty-year-old commander to win, and more than 100,000 troops rushed to Xi County, a heavy city on the border of Xingguo, as long as this city was captured, it was equivalent to opening the door to the hinterland of Xingguo.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Half an hour later, Zhu Han, who was standing under the command of the commander of the Central Army, sighed, shook his head and said: "The South Gate can't be attacked this time, and the other two sides should be the same, it's time to mingjin." As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of Mingjin retreating from the east and north from a distance, Zhu Han's guess was right, both sides were famous generals who had gone through a hundred battles, when to advance, when to retreat, each general has a size in his heart. Then he waved his hand indifferently: "Herald Mingjin!"

The black-pressed Moon Army retreated like a tide, leaving only mottled blood stains on the city wall and thousands of corpses of the Moon Army at the foot of the city wall.

The whole siege battle did not take long, it was obvious that this was a test by Zhu Han, and this result was also expected by Zhu Han.

After the battle, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and both sides sent people to drag back a corpse with robes.

"Retreat ten miles and set up camp!" Zhu Han ordered, and the first siege failed.

At the head of Xixian County, General Duan Hu was checking the losses, the city tower was smashed into ruins by the Yueguo catapult, and the wounded soldiers leaned on the battlements to be bandaged by the military doctor, snorting a few times from time to time.
