The offensive launched by General Peng exceeded Li Ziyu's expectations.
Starting from about a stick of incense before sunset, tens of thousands of Changsha soldiers rushed towards Pingjiang City crazily. All the gates in Pingjiang City came under unprecedented fierce attacks.
Fortunately, after Li Ziyu withdrew to Pingjiang, he strengthened the defense line in time. Although he was unable to attack again, he also knew that he had to defend the opening of Pingjiang, otherwise, he would really not be able to explain to Xu Lang.
Therefore, although General Peng's offensive was fierce, he was unable to break in for a while. After losing thousands of people under Pingjiang City, he had no choice but to order the troops to retreat, but he camped half a mile away from the city, not wanting to let Li Ziyu calm down too much.
"My order is to divide each battalion into two shifts. No one is allowed to leave his post without permission, and no one is allowed to nap!"
Li Ziyu looked at the enemy camp with lights on not far away and ordered in a deep voice.
The enemy is several times greater than our own, and with such an eye on us, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not launch another wave of offensive at night.
This is a headache.
Previously, there were brave men from the enemy army at the west gate who actually rushed to the top of the city. Fortunately, senior brother Chu Yunzhi came to his aid in time and used his wild goose sword to kill several people in a row, thus stabilizing Ximen's defense.
But after all, there are not many masters like senior brothers in this whole camp. Once the enemy troops board the city, if they cannot be killed quickly, the city gate will fall in just a matter of seconds.
"Send my order to divide the soldiers from the north gate into three parts and send them to the east, west and south gates. Damn it, I don't believe it. I can't defend Pingjiang City anymore!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Ziyu gave another harsh order.
This rhythm leaves no room for retreat at all. You must know that removing the soldiers at the north gate means giving up the defense of the back gate. This approach is both bold and dangerous.
However, the military orders are like mountains, so how can the subordinates dare to say anything? Besides, the enemy army is approaching the city. At this time, if we don't attack the whole line, we will be extremely uneasy.
About an hour later, the three thousand soldiers of the north gate, one thousand for each gate, were all in place.
The enemy troops outside the city were also brightly lit.
"They are also in a hurry. With such a posture, Changsha City will be defeated in just two days. As long as I can hold Pingjiang, I will block their retreat. When the time comes, General Xu and General Ling will divide their forces. Come to help, the situation will be reversed."
Li Ziyu looked at Chu Yunzhi who was also worried and smiled lightly.
These words are indeed correct.
"Junior brother, I'm afraid they will attack the city again at night. After all, we don't have enough manpower. The soldiers have fought bloody battles and are really tired."
What Chu Yunzhi said is not unreasonable.
As a Jianghu man, this was his first time going sword to sword with the big-headed soldiers. This can also be said to be the most murderous time in his life. For a decent and chivalrous man like him, he would never be merciful in killing evil demons and heretics, but this time, how can there be justice? How could there be any evil?
But everyone is their own master!
He knew this very well. However, after all, he also knew what his junior brother was shouldering, and he could also understand the King of England's great compassion and big heart for the common people. Therefore, at that moment, Huiyan Sword could only head on.
Such a battle is brutal and ruthless.
If he does not drive the enemy troops down the city, it means that more of his brothers may lose their lives later.
He is certainly not the savior, but when Ximen was in danger, he truly became the god of murder.
Therefore, he was also a little tired. He is tired, let alone the other brothers?
"Brother, you are right."
Li Ziyu nodded, I'm afraid tonight won't be so easy!
