When the first rays of the morning sun shone down, the third wave of enemy attack was repulsed.

On the battlefield, the walls are broken and ruined, and it is a mess. Blood stained the earth red, and then it was scorched by the blazing fire, turning into a dark patch, and in front of the gate of Zhu'an Castle, countless burned and newly dead corpses were piled up together, almost covering the open space in front of the city.

The pungent smell of burnt paste and the smell of blood mixed together and irritated everyone's nerves.

The number of siege engines was scorched by the flames and turned into pieces of charcoal, and they stood in front of the city, with the breeze blowing and scattering a little green smoke.

The enemy did not launch a fourth attack, and the harassment from the left and right stopped, and they seemed to have changed their tactics.

There is no real winner in this battle.

The enemy attacked three times, touching at least 8,000 soldiers and several siege equipment, but in the end they did not take the city wall of Zhu'an City, and returned home, at least half of the 8,000 soldiers died in front of the city, and the remaining half, most of them were wounded. After a night of non-stop attacks, the walls of Zhu'an City were bombarded by trebuchets and cracks, but the tenacity of the soldiers of Dongwangfu was completely beyond their imagination.

They thought that they were on the side of justice, their morale was high, and they were ready to recapture Zhu'an City in one fell swoop and avenge the dead people of Zhu'an City, but they didn't expect that the devil in their minds was so powerful that defeating Dongwangfu was not so simple.

Sorties were carried out in formations, scattered defeats, and not a single sergeant dragged his heavy body, covering his wounded parts, and remained silent.

Last night's battle, whether it was against Qiu Changcheng's army or against Dongwangfu, was tragic.

In the First World War, the 2,000 sergeants who finally changed their guard killed more than 400 people and wounded more than 700 people, and a fully equipped brigade almost lost its combat effectiveness. The reason why the enemy was able to inflict so much damage on the defenders of the fortified city was because of the excellent equipment and the masters who lurked in the towers of the city.

In order to defend against the enemy's masters, six centurions were killed in battle and died with the enemy. The main general, Ding Jiang, was seriously wounded, and there were no less than a dozen bloody cuts on his chest and back that were cut off by the enemy, and he was dripping with blood.

But, throughout, no one backs down. Ding Jiang also did not call any brigade for reinforcements. In the face of the enemy's trebuchet and several push-to-the-city towers, under the premise that his side had almost no ability to counterattack, Ding Jiang led the soldiers to fight bloodily, and the walls of Zhu'an City were still under the control of the East Palace.

After repelling the sergeants of the enemy army who had landed in the city, Ding Jiang immediately ordered the simple trebuchet platform that had been built to go to the top of the city, aiming at the trebuchet in the distance of the enemy army, and the stones that were significantly smaller than the other party roared towards them. The improvised component of the trebuchet was less powerful and did not have enough range, but when placed on the city wall, it was able to attack the trebuchet behind the enemy phalanx, which immediately solved the urgent need.

"Bang. ”

Putting the long knife in his hand aside, the edge of the knife was a little curled after a night of fierce fighting. Ding Jiang took a sip and kicked the corpse of an enemy soldier off the city wall.

Suddenly, he felt dizzy for a while, and hurriedly stood firm against the city wall, slowing down for a while, and this dizziness disappeared.

Fang Cai has always been in an extremely nervous situation, he didn't have time to care about his injuries at all, and now that he has repelled the enemy army, he suddenly relaxed, Ding Jiang immediately felt that his whole body was sore, and there was no place where it didn't hurt, especially the wounds on his body, when the wind blew, it hurt to pierce his heart.

Several sergeants immediately stepped forward to help Ding Jiang, he raised his hand to stop the comers, looked up at the sergeant near the left, showed a smile on his face, and said, "Heh, I thought they were so powerful, but so." ”

Several sergeants around saw that Ding Jiang was not a big deal, and their hearts were slightly relieved, but they still stepped forward, and one of them said softly: "General, you better go down and rest first and bandage the wounds, although they are all skin injuries, it is also very inappropriate to keep them exposed like this." ”

Ding Jiang looked down at the wound on his chest, at this moment he felt that his cut skin was beating left and right, every time he beat, the pain in his heart came once, each time it hurt more than the other, only the pain of his face turned pale, but there was no trace of expression on his face, and he said lightly: "Clean up the battlefield first, throw all the enemies down to me, transport the remains of our soldiers to the city, bury them properly, and count the supplies." ”

The sergeant beside the "General......" saw that Ding Jiang's face was pale, and knew that he must be uncomfortable, and what else to say, but he was interrupted by him again, and only listened to him: "The enemy army will definitely attack, not at noon, just in the evening, immediately start cleaning the battlefield, you have been fighting all night, go down, and change two more brigades of people to come up." ”

Several sergeants looked at Ding Jiang and saw that his face was very serious, this was a military order, and they didn't dare to disobey, so they immediately saluted Ding Jiang, and then retreated to inform the various departments of Ding Jiang's order.

After a few sergeants left, Ding Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, picked up his saber, took a step, and slowly descended the city wall step by step.

He suffered all skin injuries, but after a night of fighting, Ding Jiang had killed countless enemies and was already exhausted. With his tired body and more than a dozen wounds on his body, if he hadn't relied on his cultivation to support him, he would have passed out a long time ago.

Walking down the city wall with heavy steps, Ding Jiang returned to the station under the city, and immediately several doctors stepped forward to treat Ding Jiang's wounds. He sat on the stone bench with his eyes closed. While the healer was stitching up his wounds, he was already asleep.

Ye Guan didn't come to see Ding Jiang, although he was very worried in his heart, and he also knew the fierceness of the battle above the city. But he also believes that as a general of a hundred battles, Ding Jiang has the ability to handle everything, and his appearance at this moment is likely to mess up his arrangement, and it may also disrupt the enemy's judgment. Therefore, even if he is anxious in his heart, he must be as steady as Mount Tai and sit in his small courtyard as if nothing happened.

How last night's battle was fought, and how Ding Jiang destroyed the enemy's trebuchet in the end, these things are clear to Ye Guan. The fierceness of the battle, hundreds of soldiers from the Eastern Palace, who were killed, made him feel heavy. If he climbs the city wall at night, with Ye Guan's cultivation, even if the enemy comes to push the city tower a few more, he will not be able to make any waves, but if he does this, the enemy army will definitely give up the all-out general attack and turn to a protracted war, once it falls into a protracted war, the whole army is annihilated, it is only a matter of time.

If he was not mistaken, the plan of Tianqing City had already begun, and at this moment, the mysterious man was not looking for himself in the future, he was afraid that he would do the same thing in the city that had already been selected, and do the thing of Zhu'an City again, so as to inspire the hatred in the hearts of the people of the enclave.

When fear comes to an end, it is the anger of renunciation. With a little guidance of such a thing, it is an extremely terrifying force.

"Two days at most. Ye Guan thought in his heart, two days, is the limit of what he can delay in Zhu'an City, tonight, the enemy army will definitely attack, and the intensity of the attack is definitely much more intense than last night, after tonight, the enemy army is likely to take advantage of the situation to launch a general attack, and at that time all the secret hands arranged by himself will be launched to defeat the enemy army, and at the moment of the enemy's defeat, it is the moment to lead the army to retreat.

And once they get out of the Zongqiu Mountain area, I am afraid that Tianqing City will be able to get the news as soon as possible, and the time of two days is definitely not enough to go deep into the hinterland of the enclave and Liu Yuan to withdraw, even if they are fast, it will take at least five days.

However, he does not have five days, even two days, and he must calculate accurately, and once there is a mistake, he must fill it immediately, otherwise the entire army of Zhu'an City will be in danger of being wiped out.

Because he was facing the angry people of Zongqiu Mountain, although he didn't know whether the manipulator behind the scenes was Shen Tuyan or not, and he didn't know how so many sergeants had been trained in such a short time. But Ye Guan clearly understood that what he needed to face now was not the anger of the people, but the tens of thousands of enemy troops fully loaded.

The mood couldn't be calmed down, or forcibly calmed down, all the strategies have been formulated, just waiting for the implementation step by step, and when he has to take his 20,000 soldiers out of the enclave, Ye Guan wants to return immediately to pick up Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan's troops, as well as the withdrawn Huang Yongning.

In the previous battle, no matter what kind of opponent he faced, Ye Guan had never panicked so much in his heart. But this time is different, the opponent this time is a transcendent existence, Tianqing City. Tianqing City has thousands of years of heritage, no one knows how much strength they have, even Ye Guan, facing such an opponent, his heart is very bottomless.

In the early morning, in Zhu'an Castle, the renovation is continuing.

The battlefield at the head of the city was quickly cleared, and the fine cracks that appeared in the city walls were not repaired by any way but to be left to this end. Much of the material used for the defense was transported to the city walls, and the change of defense was over.

If it weren't for the indelible red blood stains and the smell of blood on the city walls, the city walls would have been neatly organized.

Ding Jiang, unconscious, was carried down by several sergeants and placed in a private house. The breathing is steady, but the body is forced into a dormant state, and I am afraid that I will not be able to wake up in a short time.

The fortifications on the walls were arranged in an orderly manner, and it was proposed that the trebuchets should be reinforced, arranged in a row on the walls, tightly tied to the walls, a total of six. In this way, there is no longer any fear of the enemy sending more towers, and even if the enemy army dispatches trebuchets again, they have the means to counteract.

It's still early in the morning.

Enclave, Changhui City.

As soon as he rode in the dust, a sergeant crouched tightly on horseback, holding a file in his hand, and shouted: "Urgent military situation!"

Before reaching the city gate, the speed did not decrease, and the soldiers defending the city gave way one after another, and the fast horse quickly entered Changhui City and went straight to the city lord's mansion.

Huang Yongning was pondering the construction of the new city, but he overheard the shouting of urgent military information outside the door, and immediately stood up with a serious expression, walked to the door in a few steps, but saw a sergeant who was in the dust, walked quickly to Huang Yongning, raised the file in his hand above his head, and said loudly: "Emergency military situation, please check it immediately." ”

Huang Yongning's heart was shocked, and he immediately reached out to pick up the file, and after starting it, he knew the difference in this letter, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
