Chapter 197: Closing the Formation

Huang Yuchen's footsteps were fast, passing through the urban area of Changxiang City, and heading straight for the back door.

As he passed through the city, he saw more than 200 people in the city before, all on the streets, and everyone's expressions were full of fear, looking at the walls in panic, and they didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Huang Yuchen's heart moved slightly, but he did not stop, and soon arrived at the back door and climbed the city wall in a few steps.

When he arrived at the back door, the battle at the back door was nearing its end. Unexpectedly, the battle at the back door was much more tragic than at the front door, with the merit of 4,000 enemy troops, and the entire back door defense inevitably entered a white-knuckle battle.

Huang Yuchen held a long knife in his hand, stepped forward and killed the enemy soldiers, and looked closely, on the city wall, there were many corpses of enemy soldiers and his own sergeants, and blood flowed like a river.

For the rest of his life, he was standing in front of a destroyed Push City Tower, looking at the enemy camp in the distance, silent. Huang Yuchen walked two steps quickly, came to Yu Sheng's side, looked down, and in front of him, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Before, there had been a fight at the back gate, and the enemy had left 2,000 corpses behind and retreated. This time, the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and 4,000 elites were dispatched into the battle, and before the back door, the tragic situation was only a lot more than the front door.

The four towers of the city, lined up near the city walls, had all been destroyed at this moment. On the city wall, the defending sergeant who was responsible for the defense of the back gate suffered many casualties.

The enemy phalanx in front and behind seemed to have some tacit understanding, and after this attack, they fell into a long silence and did not attack again. The enemy troops at the front gate may have stopped attacking because of the huge power of the fire array, but the enemy troops at the back gate did not send any more sergeants forward for some reason.

Under the city, the remains of two siege vehicles were scattered near the city gate, and the back gate was hit by the siege vehicle several times, and there were some cracks on the city gate. Next to the siege vehicle, there were countless corpses.

When the battle ended, the sergeants on the city wall began to clean up the battlefield and threw the corpses of the enemy soldiers under the city walls without hesitation, while the corpses of their own soldiers were carried off the city walls and placed in the city of Changxiang.

In this battle, the enemy army dispatched 8,000 sergeants to attack the front gate, the back gate and the hills on the left and right. At the front gate, 4,000 enemy troops were wiped out because of their own efforts to kill and leave the fire array. At the back door, after defense and white-knuckle battles at the head of the city regardless of the cost, almost all the opponents were annihilated. The battle reports on the hills on both sides have not yet come back, but judging from the previous shouts and killings, the two brigades on both sides have also suffered from the enemy's attack at the same time and entered a white-knuckle battle. In this battle, the consumption of one's own side is enormous.

On the wall of the back gate, two hundred sergeants were killed in the battle, and the corpses were carried down and neatly arranged in Changxiang City, and all the sergeants had solemn faces and expressionless faces.

Yu Sheng stood on top of the city, Huang Yuchen stood beside him, at this moment, both of them felt that the defense of Changxiang City and the hills on both sides was a bit too long for them.

"Report!"

A voice came, and I saw a sergeant covered in blood, along the city wall, quickly came to the back gate of Changxiang City, raised his head, and looked at the rest of his life.

"Open the gates. ”

Yu Sheng gave the order, and at the same time, the heralds from the other side of the hill also arrived at the same time, and the two heralds quickly stepped over the corpses of the enemy soldiers and entered the city of Changxiang.

Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen went down the city wall and listened to the battle report from the herald.

The hills on both sides really entered a white-knuckle battle, and the enemy army dispatched a total of more than 2,000 soldiers to attack the hills, not to harass, but to fight to the death in the position of white-knuckle combat.

The two brigades responsible for defending the hills resisted desperately, almost completely annihilating the enemy sergeants, and the battle report was transmitted back, and more than 400 people were killed in the battle.

When Yu Sheng heard this result, his brows furrowed, and then he glanced at Huang Yuchen, turned his head and said to the two heralds: "Order the two brigades to withdraw to the city immediately and abandon the defense of the hills, be quick!"

"Honorable order!" the two heralds received the order and immediately left the city to convey the order for the rest of their lives.

The order was given, but Huang Yuchen looked at the four bloody footprints in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The two heralds were all soaked with blood, so much so that they knelt on one knee in front of Yu Sheng, and the blood flowing from their armor actually stained the grass on the ground red. How many people do you have to kill to have such an effect.

Huang Yuchen didn't speak, he looked at Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng turned his head to look at Huang Yuchen, turned around, and went up to the city wall at the back door.

He gave the order to withdraw the defending sergeants from the hills on both sides, with great determination. In the battle that ended just now, the enemy's desperate siege method consumed so much of his own side that he had lingering palpitations for the rest of his life.

Although with the strength of the city wall, he killed the enemy's army and entered 10,000 soldiers, and his own consumption was less than 1,000 people, but in the rest of his life, there was still a strong worry in his heart.

And this emotion not only appeared in the hearts of the rest of his life, but also in the hearts of all sergeants.

There is no doubt that the enemy's troops dispatched this time are elite troops in the enclave, and if they open up their positions on the plains, the battle loss ratio will definitely not be what it is now. Although this army cannot be compared with the black armored iron cavalry, its combat effectiveness is much stronger than the enemies it has encountered before, and it is determined to die. Thinking that the enemy still had the same number of troops in front of the city, and that there were still many reinforcements coming, the suppressed emotions were like a dark cloud, hanging over the entire Changxiang City, and also over the hearts of all the soldiers defending the city.

The sergeants who stayed behind on the hills on both sides were withdrawn just to have more strength to defend Changxiang City, and as for the commanding heights of the hills on both sides, he had other plans for the rest of his life.

On the city walls, the clean-up was nearing completion, and the bodies of all the sergeants were cleaned, and the bodies of their own soldiers were placed in the city, while the bodies of the enemy were thrown directly off the walls and landed under the walls.

On the city wall, the original yellow wall was stained red with blood, and the strong bloody gas stimulated everyone's nerves. Under the city walls, the corpses of the enemy soldiers were stacked in several layers, and the blood was all over the ground, constantly seeping under the ground, and more blood gathered into a river and flowed into the distance.

A hellish situation appeared in front of Huang Yuchen's eyes, stimulating his nerves and senses.

Standing on top of the city, Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen were expressionless.

The front and rear gates were opened, and the front gate battlefield was wider, and a team of 100 people was quickly collecting war materials. In front of the back door, it seems a little narrow, and as far as the eye can see, there are corpses of enemy soldiers.

On the hills on both sides, after a bloody battle, the two brigades quickly crossed the battlefield of the back gate, and entered the city gate in an orderly manner.

And the phalanx of the enemy army did not make any movement.

If the rest of his life is the general of the other party, at this moment, he will definitely send all the remaining sergeants to pounce immediately and take Changxiang City in one fell swoop, half of the troops have been invested before, and the defensive strength of Changxiang City has been consumed a lot, and at this moment, there is a great chance to take Changxiang City and annihilate all the defenders in one fell swoop.

But unexpectedly, the enemy general did not do this. The generals in charge of the two military camps in front and behind seemed to have a tacit agreement before, sending a team of harassing troops, and then sending two teams of siege troops, after which, there was no other action.

The two brigade sergeants in charge of hill defense quickly entered Changxiang City, and then, Yu Sheng ordered two squads to be sent to clean up the battlefield at the back door and collect war materials.

Immediately, Yu Sheng ordered the two brigades in the direction of the hills to rest immediately, and after two hours, change the guard.

The early morning offensive and defensive battle of Changxiang City is over. The enemy army had no next move, giving Changxiang City a rare respite.

Yu Sheng was a little confused about the strategy of the enemy generals, but there was one thing he absolutely believed, the enemy attacked like this in order not to give them the slightest chance.

The total number of enemy troops outside Changxiang City is about 10,000, and if all these people are put into battle, they have a great chance to take Changxiang City, but they do not have much chance to completely annihilate the defenders. From the other party's point of view, the army led by Yu Sheng is cavalry, and if he really invests all his forces to attack Changxiang City, it will undoubtedly give Yu Sheng the opportunity to gather the whole army to break through.

With the return of the sergeants who went out to collect supplies, calm returned to Changxiang City.

No one spoke, and the entire Changxiang City was shrouded in a gloomy dark cloud. All the garrison sergeants, expressionless, trimmed or fed or wiped their weapons or repositioned. With the retreat of the sergeants defending the hills on both sides, the defense in Changxiang City seemed to be tighter.

The defenses in Changxiang City were in full swing, and everyone seemed to have entered a strange state, and now in their eyes, there was no other idea than fighting.

Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen sat in the front hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Changxiang City, silent.

The last remaining guard who fell into a coma was still the same, and his injuries did not improve in the slightest.

The two fire arrays used at the front door, Huang Yuchen had already replenished them at the first time, and if the enemy attacked, he would activate them again.

But after the previous battle, the front and rear gates of Changxiang City were already on the verge of ruin, and I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the reaction of the fire array again. For this reason, Yu Sheng ordered that the two city gates be blocked with items in the city. At this moment, the corridor of the front and rear doors is blocked by debris. Now, Changxiang City has become a completely isolated city, and it is impossible to open the city gates.

Yu Sheng looked at Huang Yuchen, who was speechless, sighed lightly, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?"

"The odds of winning. Huang Yuchen didn't look up and replied softly.

Yu Sheng's face moved slightly, he thought that Huang Yuchen was still thinking about the corpse mountain and sea of blood he saw before, so he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Don't think about it, do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"At this moment, we are full of calculations, and we have less than 3,000 sergeants in our hands. Huang Yuchen looked at Yu Sheng and said, "Even with the help of the formation, it is impossible to kill all the enemy troops here." General, there may be a problem with your previous strategy. ”

Yu Sheng heard that Huang Yuchen had the intention of questioning his decision, so he didn't laugh angrily, and said: "You already think so, then you are not far from victory." ”
