On Dongshan Mountain, Wan's expression was not relaxed at all. She had many troops, but attacking the city was not her strong suit. In addition to being poorly prepared, her firepower was not as good as on the city. More importantly, there was a moat outside the city. This was a life-threatening situation. Although it was the Little Ice Age, the rivers in Yunnan would not freeze. If the chieftain soldiers wanted to attack the city, they had to cross the moat first. However, many people were shot and killed while crossing the river, even if some people managed to bring ladders to cross. After crossing the moat, I discovered a fatal problem!
That is, there is still a distance between the moat and the city wall in Kunming City. There is a long section of the city wall in Kunming City that is right next to the moat. There is no place to set up a ladder!
This is really terrible!
This massive and all-round attack lasted from dusk to dark, lasting half an hour in total. It was not long but extremely intense. Afterwards, Wan clan retreated with money, and the city was covered with waves. Wu Zhaoyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But seeing corpses strewn all over the city, and the howls and moans of the wounded soldiers made them extremely heavy. This was not the first time Mu Tianbo had fought since he attacked the lord, but it was the first time he had defended the city, and the first time he had experienced such a large scale. The brutal fighting lasted for just half an hour, and his heart was in his throat. He was afraid that there would be a gap and the rebels would attack. Fortunately, the rebels retreated without success after attacking for half an hour!
But our own casualties were extremely heavy. You must know that most of the defenders were ordinary people. When the rebels attacked the city, regular officers and soldiers were shooting arrows, firing cannons, or holding down the formation. They were the main force in the defense, but they also had the most casualties. of!
This is terrible. It would be natural if the officers and soldiers died in battle, but they are all ordinary people in this city. The young and strong are the backbone of a family. If they die, the whole family will collapse, so the rebels here have just retreated. , the family members over there went to the city to look for him, and for a while the city was full of crying and shouting. Many people ran down the city after finding their family members who were lucky enough to survive. They didn't want to fight! They are scared to death!
In fact, this is human nature and completely understandable.
But Mu Tianbo had never encountered such a scene before. He didn't know how to deal with it for a moment. He watched the whole city crying and making a mess. If the Wan family took advantage of the situation to attack at this time, the outcome was really uncertain!
Has Wan got it done again?
Obviously impossible! Killing eight hundred enemies and losing one thousand or more to yourself is nothing more than that!
But he was not discouraged, and even felt that it was a rare siege experience. After retreating, he summoned his generals to review the previous gains and losses, and formulate a more complete and detailed attack plan. She must give Mu Tianbo a hard blow. Let him take the initiative to negotiate and release him again!
In the middle of the night, Mu Tianbo and others, who had just been miming in the city for a while, were awakened again. The Wan family began to attack the city again!
This battle lasted for more than half an hour. There were hundreds more corpses on the city wall. The city of Kunming was shrouded in gloom and mist. The fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers was still stable, but the common people could no longer hold on. At this time, Wu Zhaoyu and others were in the yamen. The big boss walked to the top of the city and began to comfort and encourage them. It was just that there were intact eggs under the overturned nest. If the city was broken, the rebels would definitely massacre the city. If they didn't stop them at this time, no one would be spared when they came in!
Morale has improved, and everyone understands the truth, but what should be feared is still fear, but what can you do if you are afraid, you have to fight hard!
Before dawn in the early morning, the Wan family launched another fierce attack. This time it was far more intense and longer than the previous two. Moreover, the rebels took advantage of the opportunity to attack from the Daxi Gate when the fierce fighting at the north and south gates was at its peak. Fortunately, there were not many in number. They were beaten down desperately by the guards and Qing Zhuang on the city, but they also shocked Mu Tianbo and others into a cold sweat!
If this continues, I can still withstand several attacks!
The sun came out, and the soldiers and civilians on the city were exhausted. Mu Tianbo wanted to change the defense and send a new group of young men to the city, but Wu Zhaoyuan felt that the new was not as good as the old. The rebel offensives became more and more intense. Although these young men on the city were tired, I have seen people whose blood is numb and can withstand fire without panicking, but if it is a novice, it will easily collapse and cannot be used for much purpose!
But it’s not possible to just use Lao Niu without replacing them. They are so tired that they can’t even lift a stone.
In the end, it was discussed that some of the troops should be withdrawn to reinforce some of the newbies, so that the veterans would lead the newbies and not collapse in a single fight.
Standing on the top of the city, he glanced at the hanging Sha Dingzhou who was still alive. Mu Tianbo turned his eyes to the outside of the city. There were many corpses floating in the moat, but in the distance there were more rebels all over the mountains and plains. It was unknown what their casualties were. , I don’t know if they will continue to attack today, or how many more times I can withstand it.
Mu Tianbo began to regret, regretting too many things!
He regretted that he should have acted according to the order to stabilize Wu Bikui and guard against Sha Dingzhou from the beginning. He regretted that he did not listen to Wu Zhaoyuan's dissuasion and beat Wu Bikui back to his home before returning to the army. He even regretted that he should have negotiated peace with Wan Clan before. Maybe he really retreated after reaching Shadingzhou.
But what's the use of regret, if you don't regret taking medicine!
Now he really wants to make peace, but he can't lose face, let alone swallow that breath. Of course, because he has some confidence, he won't be easily broken by Wan's family, and as long as he holds on for three to five days. , even if the frontline dragons in Zaitian are deaf, they should have received the news. As long as they stay for a few more days, they should return for reinforcements. Let me guess, they can stay for ten days at most!
Can you hold it for ten days? Mu Tianbo didn't know. He looked at Wu Zhaoyuan and others. They didn't say anything, but from their expressions, it was clear that they didn't have much confidence. He could even guess that Wu Zhaoyuan and others were thinking about peace talks with the Wan family, but no one was there. Just be the first to speak!
Little did he know that Wanshi outside was also feeling bitter and regretful!
Why is it so difficult to attack a city like this? Every time I feel like I'm about to attack, every time I feel like I can definitely do it next time, and every time more people die than the last time! No wonder the children of the Mu family are so tough and confident. It turns out that attacking a city is really not something ordinary people can do!
Wan was angry and angry. The situation was difficult to get out of. If there was no other way out but to continue fighting, how could he take the initiative to beg for peace? In this way, he loses the initiative and can only follow the other party's arrangement to withdraw thirty miles before releasing the people. They will definitely go out of the city to ask for help while they are withdrawing their troops, but they may not really release the people!
Fight, keep fighting, until he takes the initiative to ask for peace. Wan Shi can't wait to launch another fierce attack immediately, but his men and horses are too tired. They have been up all night and attacked three times in a row. Even the iron warrior cannot withstand it!
The sky is blue and it is another good weather. The warm sun is neither cold nor hot like a spring breeze. It is a good day for a spring outing. However... the woods in the mountains and fields outside the city are filled with exhausted chieftain soldiers, and the same is true on the city top. , just a lot of ordinary people transporting war preparations.
Mu Tianbo is very sleepy. He feels like he can fall asleep as soon as he closes his eyes, but he can't sleep well. Every time he falls asleep as soon as he closes his eyes and wakes up as soon as he falls asleep. The psychological pressure is too great, which is unprecedented for him. crisis!
But this beautiful day passed quietly, and Wanshi did not attack again, not because he didn't want to, but because he was powerless!
It was getting dark, and Mu Tianbo knew that it would be difficult to calm down tonight, so he put on armor and went to the city to patrol. Unexpectedly, until dawn, the rebels did not make any movement. Only then did Mu Tianbo realize that the other party was playing psychological warfare. They were the attackers. You can lie down and fall asleep with peace of mind, but how can the defending side be so peaceful? They have to be on guard all the time.
This was good, they rested for a whole day and a night, but their nerves were strained for a whole day and a night!
Really treacherous! Mu Tianbo looked like he was cursing, but suddenly he found that his throat was swollen and sore that he couldn't make a sound. He was angry and inflamed!
In the middle of the afternoon, Wan from Dongshan let out a sinister laugh, she had succeeded again!
All day and night, the officers and soldiers at the top of the city were trembling with fear, but she ate well and slept well. If the situation increased or decreased, she would take advantage of your illness to kill you, and immediately ordered an attack. The troops who were already ready to move came from all directions. This time they must climb up!
It’s so bitter!
Mu Tianbo, Wu Zhaoyuan and others felt extremely heavy. Seeing the tide of rebels approaching, they could only bite the bullet and supervise the battle. Mu Tianbo even wore armor himself and went into battle. Holding a long knife, he led his servants to the North Gate to supervise the battle. That was the most intense place. , below the city is the most ferocious Li Rifang tribe of the rebels!
