On the battlefield to the west of Songhe City, this anxious siege battle is still continuing. Under the city wall, a large number of corpses are constantly piling up. The battle on the wall is even more fierce, and the dark red blood is almost everywhere.

Paint the entire wall a new color.

In the distance, Li Kuo's hand gripping the hilt of the sword has turned livid from too much force. Until now, the number of corpses piled up under the city wall has reached a shocking level.

However, there was no movement from Jiang Wei's side. He had basically determined in his mind that Jiang Wei was most likely in trouble, which could not help but put more pressure on Li Kuo.

Zhou Southeast's order was to capture Songhe City in one fell swoop before sunset, but things were going on one after another. First, something happened to Jiang Wei, who failed to attack the east wall of Songhe City as planned, and then the defenders of the west wall.

The general is really very tenacious, occupying the top of the wall, and actually fighting with him until now...

On one side was His Majesty's order, on the other was the situation in front of him. This bad situation made Li Kuo feel a dilemma. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the closed gate of Songhe City in the distance slowly rose.

This was obviously beyond Li Kuo's expectation. When the soldiers who were near the gate of Songhe City saw the gate open, they thought that the top of the wall of Songhe City had been occupied by their people, so they subconsciously rushed in.

, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for them were dozens of sharp spears! The soldiers at the front were stabbed to death on the spot by the dozens of spears that suddenly thrust out before they could see anything clearly.

!

At the same time, a burst of uniform footsteps came from behind the city gate. The sound of those steps was heavy and powerful. It kept hitting everyone's heart and brought considerable psychological pressure to the enemy troops outside the city gate.

.

Li Kuo, who was in the distance, looked intently and saw that the opponent was opening the way with spearmen, followed by a large number of shield and axemen, advancing in unison in a strict military formation.

"What does the opponent want to do? He actually took the initiative to go out of the city to attack?" Li Kuo frowned when he saw this formation. The battle had reached this point. Although he could not directly capture the wall of Xia Songhe City, judging from the entire battle situation,

His military strength still occupies a very obvious advantage. If the opponent's defending general sends infantry troops out of the city to attack him at this time, it will inevitably lead to a decrease in the garrison strength on the Songhe City wall. Isn't he afraid that the city wall will fall?

Of course, from the enemy's point of view, Li Kuo hoped that the opponent would make a serious mistake so that he could capture the city wall in one go. Therefore, of course, he would also pay close attention to the movements on the other side of the city gate.

A visual inspection of the number of troops advancing out showed that there were at least five hundred people. Li Kuo looked overjoyed. Once this force was removed, he did not believe that the other side could still defend the city wall!

With this thought in mind, just when Li Kuo was about to let the soldiers rush to the wall again, the scenes that continued to catch his eyes in the distance made the joy on his face gradually disappear...

"How is it possible? There are more than 500 troops advancing?!" The military formation is still pushing forward! The opponent is obviously using a slow attack method, relying on the length advantage of the spearmen to maintain the spear formation.

, the opponent's military formation was pushed outward step by step, and the soldiers blocking them near the city wall were constantly forced back. In just a few breaths, a living space was opened.

Later, when he saw the number of enemy troops that had completely rushed out of the city gate, Li Kuo's expression changed completely. He quickly raised his head to confirm the situation on the distant city wall, only to find that the number of defenders on the other side's wall had basically not decreased, "No.

, This is impossible, this is impossible! Are you kidding me? Where can the opposite side have so many troops?!"

The huge pressure on Li Kuo's body made Li Kuo's whole mind turn into a mess. Until now, he basically knew how many troops the opponent had to defend the city. However, the number of troops of this infantry unit that had been pushed out all the way.

But it reached at least a thousand people!

Holding his forehead with one hand and holding his uncertain face, Li Kuo tried to sort out the mess of thoughts in his mind. Then, as if he thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, "We are dividing our troops, and the other side is also dividing their troops.

?!"

Li Kuo's heart twitched violently when he came to this conclusion, "Their troops were divided into two parts at the beginning. Those responsible for garrisoning Songhe City were only one part of them from beginning to end, while the other

Part of it is to do other things..."

"Ambush Jiang Wei?!" At this moment, the more Li Kuo thought deeply, the uglier his face became, and his heart kept sinking, "And now, the troops who ambush Jiang Wei are back, and Jiang Wei

Could he..."

Li Kuo no longer dared to think about it anymore. This was simply a nightmare! At the same time, the Songhe City in front of him seemed to have transformed into an ancient beast at this moment, becoming ferocious and terrifying!

"Quick! Destroy all the wheels of the siege tower, and then the whole army retreats!!" His advantage in strength is gone. If he continues to fight, he will probably have to pay a heavy price! As a moderate general, Li Kuo has always

He didn't like to make impulsive decisions. According to his idea, it would be a good idea to first preserve his troops and withdraw to Shangyuan City, then conduct a wave of defensive battles to stabilize the position. After regrouping, he would then find an opportunity to counterattack.

At the same time, before retreating, he issued an order to destroy all the wheels of the siege tower, because he knew very well that with the weight of the siege tower, it was basically impossible to leave by pushing the siege tower. This can also be said to be pretending.

One of the major flaws caused by so many bronze armor plates is that the defense is gained at the expense of speed.

In this way, the siege tower cannot be taken back, but if it stays here, it will undoubtedly give the enemy an advantage. At that time, if the enemy pushes this siege tower to attack his Shangyuan City, then

It’s a lot of fun, so before you leave, you must destroy all the wheels!

With the sound of the retreat horn, the siege army of Shangyuan City began to retreat. Zhao Pan asked his troops to pursue them for a symbolic distance and then told them to withdraw.

Because including this one, Luo Ji had transferred back the infantry unit to support him, but it had already fought two battles in succession, and they couldn't even catch their breath. The physical strength of the soldiers had to be taken into consideration.

At the same time, the opponent was not defeated by them and fled, but retreated in an organized manner. In other words, the opponent still has the strength to fight. If they catch up, there is basically no hope of severely damaging the opponent. It will only increase casualties. In fact,

It's not necessary.

On the Songhe City side, as soon as Li Kuo's siege army withdrew, the entire siege battle could be said to have come to an end temporarily. On the other side, the pursuit battle between Guo Zhen and Jiang Wei was not that easy.

it's over……
