When the sky turned fish-white, Yuwen Chengdu was already standing on the top of the city, looking at the Rong army in the city ahead.
They have been holding on for three days. In these three days, they were attacked by more than ten waves from the Rong army. They resisted every attack with all their strength. By now, the casualties of the Yunyan City defenders have exceeded 80%.
Of the 20,000 defenders, only more than 3,000 were left.
The continuous battles made Yuwen Chengdu, an innate warrior, feel exhausted, let alone those ordinary soldiers.
At this time, they had lost hope and stood on the city wall with only their last bit of will.
And Yuwen Chengdu stands like a statue on the city wall. He cannot retreat, fall, or even disappear in front of others.
Because he is the spiritual support of the soldiers, if he disappears, the will of the soldiers will collapse instantly. At that time, the soldiers will be completely defeated without even the Rong army attacking.
"General!"
Wang Han came behind Yuwen Chengdu, with a bitter smile on his pale face.
At this time, the depression in Wang Han's heart was as endless as a surging river.
Although the last battle in Yunyan City was very difficult, at least they could still see hope, but this time even he felt hopeless.
Moreover, he had just been promoted to the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Yunyan City. As a result, he had been in this position for less than a month and was facing such a desperate situation. One can imagine the grief, anger and anguish involved.
"How are the soldiers?" Yuwen Chengdu asked calmly.
"There are still 3,224 people who can fight." Wang Han said in a deep voice: "But they are exhausted and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long."
"Reinforcements~~"
He paused, but still asked: "When will the reinforcements come?"
Yuwen Chengdu has been looking at the city wall to the north of Yunyan City, his resolute face always maintaining a cold and handsome expression. As a general, facing such a situation, he cannot show any negative emotions. He must stand here firmly like steel.
.
"Reinforcements have arrived long ago!"
"Where?" Wang Han asked in surprise.
Yuwen Chengdu said calmly: "They came two days ago, but there are not many of them. They can only harass the army outside the city."
"Didn't you notice the commotion across the street last night?"
"No, the general is too sleepy!" Wang Han said with some embarrassment.
After fighting for days, he was miserable and finally got some rest. Naturally, he wanted to have a good sleep.
"That's our reinforcements!" Yuwen Chengdu said.
Bai Qi attacked the Rong army for the first time. He still didn't know what happened, but in the past two days, Bai Qi had been attacking the elite troops behind the enemy's rear. He even launched a night attack last night. Unfortunately, the results were not very great.
.
After repeated attacks, the Rong army had already been on alert. Bai Qi's night attack only caused a commotion, which quickly subsided.
When Wang Han heard this, he didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
Without reinforcements, he felt desperate, but after knowing that there were reinforcements, he still felt desperate.
While the two of them were talking, the Rong army on the opposite side had begun to gather their soldiers, preparing to attack again.
The dull sound of the horn spread throughout Yunyan City, forcing the exhausted soldiers to cheer up. They walked behind the wall and nervously grasped their weapons.
Dong dong dong~~
As the war drums sounded, a solemn and heavy atmosphere once again enveloped the city wall, weighing on the hearts of every soldier.
…
On the mountain peak east of Yunyan City.
Bai Qi looked in the direction of Yunyan City, his face becoming more and more serious.
The Rong army was about to attack the city, and their two days of invasion and harassment had almost no effect.
It was not without effect. At the very least, they made the Rong people more alert and unable to launch an attack with all their strength. Moreover, they resulted in the killing of thousands of enemies.
But compared with the more than 100,000 enemy troops, this result seemed insignificant.
But now that the Rong army is attacking again, he estimates that Yunyan City's defenders have reached the end of their strength and may not be able to stop the opponent's several waves of attacks.
Just when Bai Qi was hesitating whether to lead the cavalry to attack the Rong army again, a scout rushed over.
"Report!"
"General, Master Fei Ling is here!"
The scout said with joy on his face.
Bai Qi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Where is he?"
"It's just over the mountain, and we'll reach the bottom of the mountain in another quarter of an hour," the scout replied.
Bai Qi turned his head and glanced at Yunyan City, which was already in a battle, then turned and ran down the mountain.
After a while, he ran down the mountain and saw a long team.
"Fei Ling, the last general, pays homage to the general!"
When Fei Ling saw him, he immediately ran over on horseback and paid his respects.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Bai Dian nodded.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!" Fei Ling said with some seriousness.
Bai Qi looked at the soldiers around him, his expression still solemn.
How should he save Yunyan City and how should he save Yuwen Chengdu?
Although Fei Ling came, Fei Ling only brought more than 10,000 soldiers, and they had to face an enemy ten times their own.
Just when Bai Qi was hesitating whether to lead his troops to attack, another scout came flying towards him.
He rolled and crawled over, and before he could reach Bai Qi, he shouted loudly.
"General, Beiyuan City is here!"
"Beiyuan City is coming!"
When Bai Qi heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited, "Where is it?"
"Thirty miles away to the northeast, there is an army stretching for several miles. There are a hundred thousand people. They are the Sky Eagle Army of Beiyuan City!" The scout cried with joy, but his words were still coherent.
Bai Qi let out a long breath. The only one who could come at this time was Beiyuan City.
It's not that the Dali Border Army is inferior to Beiyuan City, it's that the Dali Border Army is too scattered and it's difficult to gather a large army in a short time.
On the northern border, only Beiyuan City can gather 100,000 troops in one day.
"There is no time. The defenders of Yunyan City can no longer hold on. Now it is our turn to attack!" Bai Qi said in a deep voice.
Thirty miles away, it would take an hour to reach the battlefield at the speed of the Sky Eagle Army, but Yuwen Chengdu in Yunyan City could no longer sustain it for an hour.
"Please give the order, general!" Fei Ling said.
Bai Qi's face became solemn, his eyes revealed a fiery brilliance, and he glanced at the somewhat embarrassed soldiers around him.
"Can you guys still fight?"
he asked loudly.
"able!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers immediately became horrified and responded loudly.
It was not an easy journey for them. Faced with the interception of the Rong cavalry, they could be said to have walked on corpses all the way.
But now they can still fight.
"Then follow me and attack. We will let the Rong slaves know that if you want to cross the border of Dali, you must pay the price of blood!"
Bai Qi's voice sounded like a thunder in the mountains and forests.
He likes these soldiers very much because these soldiers are real warriors. They have their own faith and glory, a firm will and a belief that they are not afraid of death.
As a general, it should be a great honor to have such soldiers.
Fei Ling looked at Bai Qi's burly figure and strong momentum, a flash of fire flashed in his eyes, and he started to drink violently.
This decision is a bit crazy, because currently they only have more than 10,000 soldiers, the cavalry led by Bai Qi before has less than 3,000 left, and the infantry brought by Fei Ling are blocked by the Rong cavalry, and now there are only
With a strength of just over 10,000, the total of the two is less than 15,000 soldiers.
There are more than 100,000 Rong troops in Yunyan City, and there are more than 300,000 troops in the Rong camp in the north of Yunyan City.
Once they take the initiative, they are likely to fall into an irreversible situation.
Even if Beiyuan City's 100,000 troops arrived soon, they would still have a narrow escape.
The shouts of killing shook the sky.
The next moment, Bai Qi led his soldiers and rushed towards Yunyan City.
The direction they went to was not the south wall of Yunyan City, but the north wall.
Because even if they went to the south wall, they couldn't climb the wall or enter the city.
They did not have a ladder to climb up the city wall, and the city gate was no longer in Yuwen Chengdu's hands. Even if they went to the south city wall, they could only stand under the city wall and could not help at all.
Soon, they collided with the elite troops under Uhel's command outside Yunyan City.
On the battlefield, Bai Qi led the cavalry like a sharp steel knife, ruthlessly tearing apart the enemy's formation.
But soon, they also fell into a bitter battle. The enemy was outnumbered and the Dali border army was very strong, but the elite of the Rong tribe were not weak either.
When Uhel in the city saw this, not only did he not panic at all, but his face was full of ridicule and excitement.
"Haha, these idiots actually dare to come! Do they really think that my army is made of clay?"
He laughed wantonly and mocked wantonly.
On the city wall, Yuwen Chengdu, who was currently fighting, saw this and his eyes narrowed.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
He roared in a deep voice.
Wang Han looked up and saw a commotion at the city gate opposite. Seeing this, he couldn't help but get excited.
Although the northern city wall blocked his vision and prevented him from seeing clearly the situation on the other side of the city wall, he was still extremely excited.
Even just a life-saving straw now is enough to revive his despair.
"Hahaha, reinforcements are coming!"
"Reinforcements are coming!"
He shouted excitedly.
The soldiers on the city wall also cheered up at his shouts.
At this time, no one thought about why the reinforcements came not from the south but from the north.
No one will think about how many reinforcements there are, they just need to know that the reinforcements are coming.
And Yuwen Chengdu doesn't care about this. He only has one idea now, and that is to attack!
Reinforcements have arrived, the enemy is in turmoil, and our morale is high. If we don't attack now, when will we wait?
Even if he only has 3,000 remaining soldiers, he will still attack!
"kill!"
Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were cold. He waved the gold-plated phoenix wings and jumped directly from the city wall.
"Brothers, it's time to fight back! Kill!"
When Wang Han saw this, he immediately shouted loudly, followed Yuwen Chengdu, and jumped off the city wall.
The gold-plated boring machine in Yuwen Chengdu's hand swept out, and in an instant, dozens of Rong soldiers were swept away by him.
He roared while killing the enemy, and his armor was stained with blood.
The three thousand remaining soldiers behind him were infected by him and rushed down the city wall one after another.
Fighting without fear of death.
At this moment, the fatigue on their bodies seemed to be swept away. No, it shouldn't be swept away, but all the last strength in their bodies burst out, making them temporarily unable to feel the fatigue on their bodies.
After a while, bones were piled up everywhere inside and outside Yunyan City, and blood flowed into rivers. The rich blood was pungent and made people panic.
One after another, the soldiers of the Dali Border Army were covered in blood and stood staggering among the piles of corpses.
In the city of Yuwen Chengdu, the iron armor has been stained with blood, and the gold-plated phoenix wings are still dancing, moving forward indomitably.
If there is no way to retreat, then fight to the bitter end!
Outside the city, the cavalry around Bai Qi fell one by one, and the infantry behind him was completely submerged in the wave of the Rong army.
suddenly.
Bai Qi stopped fighting, pulled the reins, and raised the horse's front hooves.
Then, he looked up to the east.
Gradually, a tiger and wolf warrior came from the horizon, wearing armor and holding a long sword horizontally, and came menacingly.
There were bursts of drums and heavy horns that made people's blood boil.
There was a general with a long sword on his back, riding a black gelding, and his hair full of wind-swept silk. He led the endless cavalry and came in an orderly manner.
A vast expanse of darkness lies between Yunyan City and the Rong tribe’s camp.
Drums are beating, horns are blasting, and horses' hooves are pounding.
A banner with stripes and an eagle flapping in the howling wind.
