Chapter 82: Reinforcements

"The western wall almost let the brute dogs in today, but luckily the guard battalion quickly filled the gap. It's so dangerous. Xu Liyuan was shocked into a cold sweat today, there were too many recruits on the west city wall, and he was rushed onto the city wall by the fierce brute soldiers, and he was almost defeated. Fortunately, the escort battalion arrived and killed the brutes who rushed to the wall. This avoided the disaster of the destruction of the west city on the first day of the siege.

Ma Shisong was in charge of the southern city wall, and the pressure was also not small, but fortunately, the attack of the barbarians over there seemed to be a feint, and in the end he still defended without danger.

Chen Yushun was a little more relaxed, there were almost no brute attacks in his direction, mainly the role of containment, so he did not receive much attack, and the casualties were not very serious. The east side direction is the direction leading to Daqi, and the barbarian army seems to be deliberately encircling three and missing one. It seems that this opening is deliberately loosened so that Du Changgeng has a way out, and he will not fight to the death with the barbarian army.

"This is not the strongest attack of the barbarian army. The barbarians who came today are the cannon fodder of the Golden Crow barbarians. It's just to test the reality of my Chiyang City. But even so, it almost caused Chiyang City to break, so when the real attack came, there was no way to resist it with the current state of Chiyang City. Du Changgeng shook his head.

"General, how is this good?" asked Xu Liyuan anxiously.

As a Daqi person, it is natural to fight to the death. Do you want you to carry my head and surrender to the barbarian dogs? The barbarians must have hastily attacked Chiyang City, something must have happened. It's a pity that the scouts in the city can't get out of the city, and there is no way to get the specific information back. The barbarian army is in a hurry to attack the city, and if it is fruitless today, it will surely come back tomorrow. Tomorrow's battle will be extremely tragic. Therefore, let's not hold any reservations, and take out all the means to defend the city tomorrow. If they can survive tomorrow, the barbarians will definitely retreat. If it can't survive, then the destruction of the city is inevitable. And we have already caused heavy losses to the barbarian army, and the result will inevitably be that after the city is broken, the barbarian dogs will slaughter the city. In the end, there will definitely not be a single living mouth left in Chiyang City. So, please go back and tell everyone that instead of the city being destroyed and slaughtered, it is better to fight to the death with the brute dogs. Du Changgeng decided to defend the city without reservation on the second day, and used all the hole cards of Chiyang City to defend the city.

"Yes!" Du Changgeng's subordinates also understood the consequences of the city break, and left the council hall one by one with solemn expressions.

Luo Xifeng walked out: "Is our Chiyang City really hopeless?"

Du Changgeng sighed: "But God won't give me time." If I were to train a few thousand more men and horses, and a mere 30,000 barbarians, what would it be?"

"But if Chiyang City is broken, what will happen to the children? The third child is still in the Black Bear Castle alone, and he may not even know what happened in Chiyang City. What will he do in the future?" Luo Xifeng said.

"What's the use of thinking so much now. He has dragon scale horses, and it should be no problem to run for his life. Finding a place to live in seclusion in the future may not be a wise choice. Du Changgeng said.

It was late at night, and there was still an oil lamp lit in Du Xuan's tent. Chen Xiaochu hurried in and entered Du Xuan's tent.

"Today, the barbarians attacked Chiyang City, and the battle was fierce, and the barbarians almost attacked Chiyang City. If this continues, the barbarian army will attack once or twice, and I am afraid that the city will be broken. Chen Xiaochu said.

"How is the situation in the barbarian camp, will they continue to attack tomorrow?" Du Xuan asked.

"Definitely. The barbarian army had been preparing siege engines and making a large number of ladders, and before I came back, I saw the barbarians digging in the mud. It was supposed to fill the moat of Chiyang Castle with mud bags. The siege will definitely continue tomorrow. Chen Xiaochu said.

"No, we can't wait any longer. Chen Xiaochu, you take people to stay here and fight with the recruits who came to replenish them, and then take them to Chiyang City. We're going to rush to Chiyang City overnight. Du Xuan said.

"Assemble!" a loud roar sounded, and the trumpets sounded. Although the soldiers were very tired, as soon as the bugle sounded, all the soldiers rushed out of the room. In the beginning, all the soldiers were in disarray, and when they got to the open field, the situation was slightly better.

"Brothers of Black Bear Castle! After the battle, you are extremely tired, but the battle situation is urgent, Chiyang City is in danger, and the military situation is like fire. Xuanzhi's parents and relatives are all in Chiyang City, and among the brothers, there are not a few relatives and friends in Chiyang City. Xuan implores everyone to go to the battlefield again, drive out the wild dogs, and rescue their relatives!" Du Xuan shouted with all his might.

"Chase away the dogs!" shouted the soldiers, all drowsiness and exhaustion seemed to be forgotten at once.

On long journeys, the armor was not draped over the body, but on horseback. The dragon scale horse has good foot strength, and the general battle armor is not a problem for the dragon scale horse at all. Even the heavy armor of the heavy cavalry may not have any problems with the dragon scale horse.

It's just that this battalion of soldiers at Fort Black Bear has less than 1,500 people left. Such a small number of people can indeed play a very limited role in a war of tens of thousands of people. Therefore, Du Xuan needs to find the best time to play. Otherwise, with his men alone, it would be difficult to pose too much threat to the barbarian army.

It took more than two days for Daachi to arrive here with 5,000 men and horses. If Du Xuan rushed over at this speed, when he arrived, he was afraid that the daylilies would be cold. The speed of the dragon scale horse is more than twice as fast as that of ordinary war horses, especially in some places where the road conditions are more complicated, and the taller dragon scale horse occupies a great advantage.

In order to be able to save Chiyang City, Du Xuan's speed was raised again and again along the way.

Cai Qidong and Yao Qinghan hurried out of Black Bear Fort with five hundred recruits, and stopped on the fork in the road to Lingtaiwei and Chiyang City.

"Old Yao, at this time, isn't it a bit of a detour for us to rush to Lingtaiwei to meet the third prince? The third prince is going there anyway. Maybe he has already left, and we can't catch up with the third son if we go over now. Cai Qidong said.

"Lao Cai, what do you say? Yang Jiaoxi specifically told us to rush to this thousand households first. We are not guilty of changing the order without permission. Yao Qinghan said with some concern.

"Outside, there is no military order. There's really no need to go over there now, go directly to Chiyang City here, and you can get there in half a day. Let's send someone over there, and if the third prince is still waiting for us there, tell the third prince that we will go to Chiyang City first. Cai Qidong said.
