The Xiangrong army was like the tide receding, and some of the guards collapsed directly, as if exhausted, panting violently.
On the city in the distance, some elephants were rushing left and right, trying to break out of the siege.
The guards tried their best to kill all the remaining elephant soldiers, but they all staggered to the ground, gasping for air, and their chests were beating like bellows.
In four days, there were six bloody battles, each time lasting several hours, and the guards were exhausted.
It's not that they are physically weak, but that they have been fighting bloody battles and have difficulty resting. Over the past few days, fatigue has continued to accumulate, so that now, it is extremely difficult for some soldiers to just raise their arms.
They were lying in the pile of dead people, motionless, and except for breathing, they were completely indistinguishable from the dead.
Even Han Lin had to lean against the city wall and sit paralyzed on the ground, panting.
He had no idea that Xiang Rong's attacks on the city would be so frequent.
On two of the four days, we attacked twice in succession!
Xiang Rong has never been so active in attacking Yinglan City and Luo City. Why are they so crazy now?
Does Xiangrong not care about losses?
More importantly, it was the continuous bloody battles that made Han Lin understand that in addition to strength and speed, Xiangrong's endurance was also very powerful.
Every time they attack, the opponent is like a fresh force, showing no sign of fatigue.
On the other hand, because the city wall is long, many guards must be arranged, and all sides must be guarded, so there are not many soldiers who can be rotated.
Many guards never rested at all. They fought hard every day and became increasingly tired.
Until now, I am too tired to move.
Even he, the general of the city, was a little out of breath.
He vaguely felt that this was Xiangrong's tactics!
In order to keep them busy until one day, it is no longer possible to hold the city...
Thinking of this, Han Lin was so excited that he felt chills all over!
How could he accept such a fate? He gritted his teeth quickly, stood up with difficulty, and encouraged everyone, "Hold on, everyone. Now is the time to compete with Xiang Rong to the limit. As long as we hold on, the first one who cannot hold on will be
Xiangrong!"
"As long as we hold on, victory will definitely belong to us!"
Hearing Han Lin's cry, some of the guards gathered a little strength and slowly got up.
They looked at Han Lin, their determined eyes shining brightly in the sunset!
But more soldiers could only wave their hands with difficulty. They were really unable to get up, so they could only wave their hands to signal.
Slowly, as night approaches, many guards rest for a while, eat dinner, and then continue to guard.
Perhaps they were too tired, and many soldiers were leaning on the city wall. Their eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and kept falling, as if they were about to close.
But they didn't dare to fall asleep. Suddenly, they opened their eyes with a startle. After looking around, they saw no one outside the city, so they felt relieved.
But then, my eyelids became extremely heavy and slowly dropped, always in a sleepy state.
At this moment, dozens of scouts came down the stairs from the city to the city wall.
Seeing the many sleepy guards, the scouts couldn't help but frown.
They meant to remind them, but when they saw the guards, their stomachs covered with dried blood, they couldn't help but feel sad and suppressed the words they spoke.
Hearing the footsteps, the soldiers regained their energy. They turned around and saw that it was the scouts, so they asked, "Are you going out of the city for inspection?"
The scouts nodded.
These scouts do not participate in the defense of the city. They are responsible for patrolling the city late at night to prevent elephants from attacking the city. It is also a dangerous job.
So, the soldiers used hanging baskets to lower the scouts one by one into the city.
Then, these scouts turned into shadows in the middle of the night and lurked around.
The guards on the city were exhausted, but they were responsible for guarding the city and did not dare to neglect.
But now, the scouts are out, and if there is danger around them, these scouts will report back as soon as possible.
Therefore, the task of patrolling has been handed over to the scouts, and the guards have a lighter burden, so they all lean on the city wall and take a nap to regain their energy.
……
The woods at night are pitch black and extremely deep. There are no birds singing around, and it is extremely quiet.
Walking into such an environment, Scout Dingyue, who was tall and thin, felt slightly tense physically and mentally.
In order to avoid attracting attention, he did not dare to use lighting equipment such as fire sticks or torches. He could only use the dim moonlight to move forward slowly in the dark forest.
He didn't dare to take too heavy steps, so he had to control his strength with each step to avoid making any noise.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard strange noises coming from ahead!
It's like... the sound of dead branches being trampled to pieces!
Someone!
The scout stopped suddenly, not daring to move forward, and listened quietly, wondering if he had just heard an auditory hallucination.
But at this time, the front was extremely silent, without any sound.
The scout listened for a while but heard nothing, so he couldn't help but be surprised.
Is it really an auditory hallucination?
With such doubts, he could only take steps and move forward carefully.
As he walked, he wondered, if there was someone, could it be other companions?
Impossible, the exploration range of each scout has been fixed, and it is impossible to meet.
Could it be Xiangrong's scout?
But he had never heard that Xiang Rong would send out scouts.
Is that Xiangrong?
But why did Xiangrong come out late at night?
After all, this place is still quite far away from Xiang Rong’s habitat. Even if Xiang Rong relieves himself, he will not come to this forest.
As for the night attack... Thinking of this possibility, the scout shook his head and didn't quite believe it.
From the time Xiang Rong invaded south to the present, in the past few months, whether they were attacking Dali or Linzhan, Xiang Rong had never attacked late at night.
Therefore, he felt that this possibility was unlikely.
But just afraid of what might happen... A trace of worry arose in the scout's heart.
With this worry in mind, he walked forward slowly, eyes wide open, and kept looking around under the dim moonlight.
After walking a certain distance, he suddenly felt frightened and hurriedly stopped, not daring to step forward.
Years of experience tell him that there are problems ahead!
Because, he faintly heard a gasp!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
And very slight footsteps!
A big piece!
Shock has spread throughout my heart!
But in order to find out, he could only grit his teeth, muster up courage, and move forward cautiously.
The sound became clearer and clearer. He didn't dare to go any further, so he hid behind a tree trunk and cautiously looked forward. Suddenly, his eyes widened!
I saw under the dim moonlight in the distance, there were elephants one by one, holding long swords and walking lightly!
The scout was so shocked that he quickly retracted his head and gritted his teeth!
He wanted to do it so much that he immediately rushed back to Dingyue and sent an urgent report.
But years of experience tell him that the more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes!
If you make a sound and are heard by Xiangrong, it will be difficult to escape!
Losing his life is fine, but if the news cannot be spread, it will be a big mistake!
Therefore, he tried his best to calm down his eager mood, and after a while, he cautiously took a step forward.
The steps were so gentle that there was no sound at all.
After confirming that he was not in a hurry because of being anxious, the scout was about to leave carefully and quickly, but suddenly his forehead felt cold!
He quickly reached out and touched his forehead, and he actually felt water stains!
He was suddenly surprised, could it be raining?
He raised his head and looked towards the sky. Before he could see the sky, his eyes shrank as sharply as the tips of needles!
On the canopy above his head, he saw an elephant crouching, staring at him closely, saliva dripping from his mouth!
Panic and madness breed!
The scout was terrified and was about to run away, but Xiang Rong was faster!
Like a sharp arrow, he suddenly jumped down, like a rong, and pounced on the scout!
The long knife stabbed out and penetrated the neck, but even the miserable howl could not be heard!
……
It's late at night, and it's already ugly time. The dark moon hanging high in the sky and the silence around us encourage people to fall asleep.
The already exhausted guards were leaning against the city wall, feeling drowsy.
Some people are half asleep, and some people can barely open their eyes, look around the outside of the city for a while, and then continue to fall asleep again.
They did not see that there was an unidentifiable black shadow flashing in the dark distance.
These black shadows seem to be approaching continuously, with slow speed and slight movements.
If you don't look carefully, it's hard to find out.
On the left side of the city wall, a guard had his eyelids drooped and was about to fall asleep. However, when the cool night breeze blew, he suddenly shivered and regained some energy.
He opened his eyes, glanced outside the city, shrank back, and was about to take a few steps back, but suddenly, he stopped dead!
His suddenly widened eyes reflected the shaking black shadows in the distance!
"Enemy attack!"
A horrifying scream shocked the entire night!
The drowsy guard suddenly woke up and saw some hard-to-identify black shadows in the distance.
In shock, they hurriedly ran to the war drum. Not daring at all, they picked up the drumsticks and beat the drum crazily!
"Dongdongdong!"
The heavy drum beat suddenly resounded, and the entire military town was alarmed!
In the barracks, the guards suddenly woke up and quickly put on their armor. They had no idea that the elephant soldiers would also attack at night!
After the armor was pierced, the guards picked up their weapons and hurried towards the city.
But at this time, Xiangrong no longer hid his traces and charged madly towards Dingyue. In a short time, he rushed to the bottom of the city and started climbing!
In a hurry, the guards quickly counterattacked.
However, the scattered arrows failed to cause much damage to Xiang Rong. Soon, Xiang Rong climbed to the top of the city!
At this time, the large forces are about to arrive. If they fail to form an effective defense line, they have to start hand-to-hand combat.
The fight at the top of the city suddenly started when the guards were in a hurry!
Flesh, flesh, and stumps are constantly splashing!
There were bursts of howls!
In an instant, the guards suffered huge casualties!
Han Lin hurried over with his soldiers.
Seeing this scene, his whole heart sank into his stomach, and he was extremely solemn!
Unexpectedly, Xiangrong is really up to his tricks!
First, they attacked the city frequently, which exhausted the guards, and then they suddenly attacked at night!
Shocked, he hurriedly shouted, "Counterattack with all your strength and knock down the Xiangrong!"
Pulling out his long sword, with a look of determination on his face, he suddenly rushed towards Xiang Rong!
Even if we risk our lives, we can never let Dingyue fall!
