The leaders who had just been discussing important matters in the Zhongyi Hall also filed out of the Zhongyi Hall at this time.
When Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others learned that Tong Guan had sent tens of thousands of troops to attack the city like a tide, Song Jiang felt his scalp begin to tingle.
Although he felt extremely helpless, he could not tolerate too much hesitation at this time.
So, he hurriedly ordered all the leaders under his command to lead troops everywhere to defend against the enemy.
As for Li Kui?
At this time, the village was already in such chaos that naturally no manpower could be spared to chop off his head.
At this time, Li Kui's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Originally, he thought he would die today.
But he never thought that when he was about to die, something like this would happen.
It really caught him by surprise.
After what happened just now, this Li Kui was equivalent to dying for once.
So at that moment, he suddenly figured out many things.
Since there is no way to keep him here, why should he continue to waste time here for nothing?
In the end, it was just a waste of my life.
Thinking of this, he wanted to go down the mountain.
But when I saw the imperial army rushing outside, as well as my brothers who were on top of the arrow tower, they had been desperately resisting.
Li Kui hesitated again in his heart.
After a while, he gritted his steel teeth, picked up the ax at his waist, and rushed over with a roar.
That Tong Guan was completely crazy this time.
No matter how many times his soldiers are driven back, he will replace them with another group of soldiers regardless of the cost.
As for the reason why Qingfeng Village's defense force is so strong, most of the credit still goes to the dozens of bamboo arrow towers Li Jie built for Qingfeng Village before he left.
After Li Jie left, Qingfeng Village suddenly expanded the number of bamboo arrow towers in Qingfeng Village to sixteen, imitating those bamboo arrow towers.
So much so that there are four large bamboo arrow towers on the outside of each wall of Qingfeng Village to defend against foreign enemies.
And those sixteen bamboo arrow towers played an extremely important defensive role at this time.
Each round of howling arrows would bring down dozens of soldiers of the Song Dynasty who were charging forward.
In the blink of an eye, Tong Guan would send another batch of soldiers to attack those bamboo arrow towers.
After the battle lasted for more than an hour, Tong Guan's generals also discovered many problems.
So they ordered their soldiers to use rockets to attack the bamboo arrow towers.
As for the three minions standing on the bamboo arrow tower, since they had received the prompt from their leader before, they did not show any signs of attack when dealing with those rockets at this time.
How much panic.
The three minions on top of the arrow tower have a very clear division of labor.
The first two minions are responsible for holding bows and shooting downwards.
The other person is responsible for supplying arrows and extinguishing the open fire near the arrow tower.
This battle lasted for several hours before it came to an end.
And because Qingfeng Shanzhai handled it properly, it did not allow the imperial army to take any advantage, but instead caused it to lose nearly a thousand soldiers.
However, such a number of casualties is really a drop in the bucket for Tong Guan, who holds more than 100,000 troops.
But the situation at Qingfeng Village is not much better than that at Tong Guan's place.
Although their side was just waiting for work, they also lost a lot of arrows when fighting the enemy.
The manufacturing and production of those arrows is also quite time-consuming and laborious.
If this battle continues like this, the first thing that will fail will be the arrow storage in Qingfeng Village.
Once the arrow storage inside the village is exhausted, the more than ten arrow towers located outside the village will lose their defensive capabilities one after another.
After that, they could only rely on the minions in the stronghold to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
When the battle reports of the first day spread like snowflakes to Song Jiang and Wu Yong's desk, the two leaders couldn't help but frown.
The two of them couldn't understand this truth that people who don't have long-term worries will have immediate worries.
But currently, for the two of them, there is no better way to solve the crisis in front of them.
Therefore, they could only keep urging the simple arsenal in the village to increase the efficiency of arrow production to the highest level in order to prepare for future battles.
…
After several days of offensive and defensive battles, Song Jiang had already suffered losses of more than a thousand troops.
On the other hand, the situation at Tong Guan's place was even more pessimistic, with seven to eight thousand soldiers and generals lost.
The bamboo arrow towers located on the outskirts of Qingfeng Village were also chopped into pieces by groups of soldiers who rushed forward one after another, waving their sharp blades.
Among them, there are now six or seven bamboo arrow towers, which have lost their defensive capabilities after several rounds of attacks.
As a result, that area became the side with the weakest defensive capabilities of Qingfeng Village.
At this time, the leading generals under Tong Guan's command concentrated their main attack directions there.
Then wave after wave of attack orders were launched one after another.
Fortunately, before Tong Guan's army launched the attack, the minions in the stronghold had already obeyed Wu Yong's order and made the stronghold wall higher and thicker.
If this were not the case, I am afraid that at this moment, Tong Guan's army, as the siege party, would have already attacked from the weak defense of the mountain stronghold.
But even before that, the soldiers in the village had already widened and reinforced the village wall, but the reinforcement materials used were mostly wood and bamboo.
Therefore, the defensive capabilities are also quite limited.
According to the estimation of Wu Yong and others, if there were another two or three days, it would be impossible for the surrounding gates to withstand it.
By that time, all the soldiers and generals in Qingfeng Village will be surrounded by Tong Guan's tens of thousands of troops, and it will be difficult to escape.
This battle has been fought so far, although the troops and horses under Song Jiang's command have only been lost by less than 20%.
But at this time, he could not see any light from this war.
Therefore, under Wu Yong's suggestion, he chose to escape temporarily and make plans in the future.
When Song Jiang led his leaders, they had just sneaked into the secret passage, but they had not yet reached the end.
Then from the secret passage, the voice of Tong Guan's army came.
It turns out that at this time, Tong Guan's army not only firmly controlled the exit of the secret passage, but also wanted to use this secret passage in Qingfeng Village to give everyone in Qingfeng Village a chance to cooperate inside and outside.
