The enemy attacked the city again, and the exhausted defenders could only summon up their exhausted spirits to defend themselves against the enemy.
Lin Yi and others also rushed to the city to kill the enemy.
The enemy troops still used their old tricks. They first used artillery and catapults to destroy the defenders' defenses, which also caused huge psychological pressure on the defenders. Then the infantry pushed ladders to attack. They also attacked the city from the front and the east at the same time.
It's just that the number of enemy troops attacking the city today has decreased, because the Li Dynasty also had to consider casualties.
After nearly two hours of fierce offensive and defensive battles, the enemy called for gold and retreated. The siege army abandoned countless corpses and retreated to the camp.
The defenders on the city also suffered many casualties.
Su Jin'er and Hu Yanyu'er took the people to the top of the city to clean up. They transported the dead soldiers down to the city for burial and sent the injured soldiers to treatment points. This allowed the soldiers to rest more.
If you want to hold on while the fierce enemy attacks the city for days, the soldiers and civilians must work together to fight the enemy to the end.
After more than a day of fierce fighting, the enemy's corpses were littered in the city.
A section of the moat was filled with corpses.
It's really midsummer now, and the corpses of the enemies who died yesterday are starting to stink. Waves of corpse odor mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke fill the sky and the earth.
Shangguan Minghong sent someone to notify the Li Dynasty to collect the corpses, and the defenders would not embarrass the enemy's corpse collection army. In order to prevent the corpses from rotting and causing a plague that would also harm the army in the Western Regions, the Li Dynasty sent people to collect the corpses under the city.
The corpse collection team loaded the corpses into carts and transported them away.
Shangguan Minghong stood at the top of the city and watched the enemy collect the corpses.
He secretly estimated the enemy's casualties in his mind.
The enemy suffered six to seven thousand casualties in the past two days.
Although the enemy suffered more heavy casualties, the enemy was several times larger than the defenders, and they could exhaust the defenders even if they were wasted.
In the afternoon, the enemy continued to attack the city.
There was simply no time for the defenders to breathe and recuperate.
Lin Yi and the others once again helped the defenders repel the enemy. Lin Yi and Zuo Chaoyang also looted the lower city and went on a killing spree. The two of them killed hundreds of enemy troops and destroyed several siege vehicles. Especially Lin Yi spared no expense.
With a large amount of zhenqi, he used "All Things Return to the Sect" several times in one day, and he really killed the enemy with blood, flesh, and soul.
Now the enemy is extremely frightened when they see the "unnamed general" with a face of resentment.
The enemy also gave Lin Yi the nickname "Devil General".
The reputation of the Demon General also spread throughout the enemy camps.
The enemy retreated again, and the soldiers and generals who defended the city were also tired, sitting or lying on the top of the city.
Some soldiers closed their eyes and never opened them again.
It's really sad.
With a bloody face, Zeng Tengyun raised his knife and came to the front tower. He shouted to Lin Yi with a crazy expression: "Brother Lin, I can't stand it! I kill enemies during the day, and at night I am kept awake by the sound of gongs and drums from those dogs. This way
I'll go crazy if I go down there, I might as well go down there and kill myself!"
Not only Zeng Tengyun couldn't bear it, the heroes in the southern border and the soldiers and generals who defended the city also felt like they were about to collapse.
The ferocity of the enemy army and the continuous attack on the city regardless of casualties were beyond Lin Yi's expectations and shocked him.
Fighting in rivers and lakes is really different from fighting with large armies.
No wonder Shangguan Minghong didn't have confidence in defending the city and said he would defend the city for ten days at most.
If this continues, we won't be able to hold on for ten days.
Lin Yi walked up to Shangguan Minghong. If he wanted to lead an army to attack the stronghold and defend the city, Lin Yi had to ask Shangguan Minghong for advice.
Lin Yi said: "Brother, will the enemy really attack regardless of casualties?"
Shangguan Minghong had a solemn look on his face and said: "The enemy is several times greater than mine, and this method is very effective. Li Chao is worthy of being a general. To be honest, if it weren't for your help, facing such terrible days
Siege the city, alas..."
Shangguan Ming let out a heavy sigh and did not say anything further.
Lin Yi said: "Indeed, we can't stand it if this continues. We have to take a breather and rest. Brother, what can you do?"
Shangguan Minghong said: "The enemy has strong soldiers and plenty of food and grass. I'm afraid there is no good way."
Lin Yi lowered his voice and said, "Brother, what if we destroy the enemy's food and fodder?"
Shangguan Minghong was immediately refreshed after hearing Lin Yi's words. He immediately understood Lin Yi's thoughts. This matter was of great importance. In order to prevent enemy troops from making secret moves in the city, Shangguan Minghong also lowered his voice and said: "If we destroy the enemy
If we don't have food and grass, the enemy will definitely panic. They will retreat, then raise food and grass and come back again. In this way, we will have a chance to breathe."
Lin Yi said: "Brother, do you have a way to find out where the enemy's food and grass are?"
Shangguan Minghong said: "It's possible. But the place where grain and grass are stored must be heavily guarded. It can be said that even birds are difficult to approach. Even if the brothers have world-class martial arts, they still face tens of thousands of grain-guarding troops."
Lin Yi said: "Brother, please send someone to find out where the enemy's food and grass are. Don't worry about anything else. Leave the rest to me."
Shangguan Minghong said excitedly: "Okay!"
Lin Yi and Shangguan Minghong made a plan and took people to inspect the city.
Now Lin Yi is most worried about Qin Dingfang sneaking into the city to cause trouble.
At night, the enemy lit dozens of bonfires for lighting. Then they launched a siege at night. The defenders could only drag their exhausted bodies to resist bravely again. It was not until late at night that the enemy was repulsed.
The next day, the enemy attacked the city twice more.
The soldiers and civilians defending the city suffered many more casualties.
This is nothing, the most terrifying thing is that they are exhausted from being tortured for days. Everyone feels like they are going crazy.
That night, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the city at night, Lin Yi and others rested on the city.
Outside the city were the sounds of drums, gongs, and horns harassing the enemy.
It makes people miserable.
At midnight, a sentry standing on the tower suddenly shouted: "The city is on fire!"
Lin Yi and Zuo Chaoyang were sitting under the battlements and resting when they heard the sentry shouting and the two of them jumped up to the top of the city tower.
The brothers looked towards the city and saw fireworks rising from several places in the city.
There were also faint sounds of killing.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city also shouted.
"The dogs of the Western Regions are attacking the city in the dark!"
All the soldiers hurriedly held torches to the city wall. They threw dozens of torches towards the city wall. The enemy troops below the city were exposed.
Under the cover of darkness, a large number of enemies sneaked under the city with ropes and flying hooks and long ladders.
Tian Ying quickly called on his men to defend themselves against the enemy.
Suddenly the soldiers were shooting arrows at the city and throwing stones...
Lin Yi said to Zuo Chaoyang: "Chaoyang, you stay here to help them defend against the enemy. I'll go and have a look in the city. It's very likely that Qin Dingfang is here! The enemy may be cooperating with Qin Dingfang for a sneak attack!"
Zuo Chaoyang said: "How can you do it alone! I'll let you go!"
Lin Yi said: "I will call Miaoxue. You must not leave! You must repel the enemy!"
After saying this, Lin Yi rushed towards the city.
At the same time, Lin Yi used the Tianyin Soul Searching Technique to make two continuous whistles toward the east of the city.
This is a secret code.
Miaoxue, who was in the east of the city, heard Lin Yi's signal to Zeng Tengyun to stay and help the defenders. Miaoxue's body also swept down the city and flew towards the fire place.
There are five places on fire in the city at the moment.
Moreover, there were many masked men in black attacking civilians and soldiers patrolling the city.
The soldiers patrolling the city fought back, while the people cried and fled in all directions.
There was chaos in the city.
There are fires burning in five places in the city. Where should you go?
Lin Yi whistled to inform Miao Xue to go to the government office.
The main officials in the city all live in the government office.
Shangguan Minghong was tired from the past few days, so Lin Yi asked him to go back to the government office to rest tonight.
If the general is killed, the defenders will be in chaos.
At this moment, the government office was filled with fireworks, and several masked men in black were fighting with the soldiers guarding the government office.
At this moment, Shangguan Minghong also raised his sword and came out of the house to fight.
His opponent had long hair and a silver mask on his face.
