Du Shun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he followed Liu Xiangnan's arrangement and walked around again. Otherwise, everyone would have slept soundly at this time.
Without saying a word, Liu Xiangnan immediately dressed up and climbed up to the gate tower at the south gate to look down. Densely packed soldiers of the Earth Kingdom were rushing forward.
Moreover, the soldiers of this big country had no plan when attacking. They were all in a desperate posture. Seeing this scene, Du Shun couldn't help but be a little worried, "Master Marquis, our troops at the south gate are a bit weak. Could it be from other places... "
After hearing this, Liu Xiangnan glared, "What did I say just now? Give the order and stand still. The South Gate defenders must resist me."
Du Shun had no choice but to retreat.
While they were fighting, suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves, and then someone ran up to Liu Xiangnan and bowed, "I would like to inform you, Lord Marquis, that the north gate was attacked, and the offensive was very fierce."
Hearing this, a smile flashed across Liu Xiangnan's lips. Although it was too light to be noticed, it could be seen that his mood improved a lot.
"Go back and tell the defenders to fight to the death, but be patient. Reinforcements will be here soon."
The person who reported the message hurried back to deliver the message, but Liu Xiangnan continued to turn his head and watch the enemy army's attack from the army below the city as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this scene, Liu Kai couldn't help it, "Master Hou, let's send some troops, and send some manpower from the east and west gates."
Liu Xiangnan waved his hand, "Look at these people below. They look brave, but in fact they have no rules at all. It means they are not preparing to attack, they are just attracting our attention. For a moment, I didn't know what they were going to do, so I stopped moving. have a look."
At this time, Zhu Meng was still wishful thinking and still followed his own plan. He launched the attack on the four gates in sequence. In his opinion, he had completely achieved the purpose of confusing the enemy. Then he waved the flag, elites came in and out, and launched a fierce attack from the south gate. .
Seeing that the enemy force suddenly increased several times outside the south gate, the siege became more organized.
The huge trebuchet was also pushed over. This was the posture of truly attacking the city. Now Liu Xiangnan understood clearly.
Everything else is just bluff, only this is a real fight.
Liu Xiangnan did not hesitate, and immediately waved the flag. The rest of the troops insisted and transferred all the soldiers who were still on standby to the south gate!
Liu Xiangnan's deployment was completed, but Zhu Meng outside the city had no idea and was still directing people to attack crazily.
But Zhang Liao felt something was wrong when he hit him.
He urged his horse to come to Zhu Meng and said, "General, something is wrong. The people from Dacang Kingdom above the city are attacking more and more."
In fact, Zhu Meng also saw it, and he also felt that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that after my own rounds of mobilization, there won't be so many soldiers above, but now there are more and more soldiers from Dacang Kingdom above, endlessly. Generally, there is only one possibility, and that is my so-called clever plan. , now that someone has found out, if he continues to fight, there will only be one result, and that is more people will die.
But now Zhu Meng has no way out. If he fails this time, he will completely lose trust in front of Prince Jonah, and what awaits him may be catastrophic consequences. Thinking of this, Zhu Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead, take it." Our 50,000 people all press forward, one by one, and I have to open the south gate."
Zhang Liao hurriedly advised, "General, these 50,000 people are the foundation of our existence. Once we defeat them all, I'm afraid we will also..."
Zhu Meng sighed, "I don't know, but now we don't even have to think about it. Even if these fifty thousand people can't take Wannian City, our ending will be the same!"
Zhang Liao said no more, bowed, turned and left.
Returning to his camp, Zhang Liao silently sorted out his things and said to the few soldiers behind him, "I spent my whole life in the military, but in the end I followed the wrong person and rebelled with Zhu Meng, which led to today's ending. , I have decided to die, you don’t want to imitate me, you can leave on your own, I will never stop you.”
These soldiers knelt on the ground and said, "General, we are willing to follow you to the death!"
Zhang Liao waved his hand, "That's not necessary. General Zhu is determined to attack the city today. I'm afraid it will be a disastrous defeat."
"While the situation is unclear, you should leave as soon as possible. If anyone asks, tell me that I sent you to summon other military camps!"
As he spoke, he passed forward his collected personal belongings and placed them in the hands of a soldier, "If you can return to your hometown, give these to my old mother."
After saying that, he waved again, "Okay, you can leave as soon as possible. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if it's too late!"
Having said that, who doesn't want to live? After hearing Zhang Liao's order, the soldiers knelt down to thank them again and left in a hurry.
After settling everything, Zhang Liao came out of the camp again, came to the front of the two armies, and rushed forward regardless of his own safety.
Sure enough, everything went as Zhang Liao expected. The battle was extremely fierce and continued until the sun rose in the east. The winner was probably decided on the spot.
Liu Xiangnan was on top of the city tower, looking at the piles of dead soldiers from the Earth Kingdom below, and he shook his head and sighed.
He Shun next to him looked very excited, "Master Marquis, the loss of the Great Earth Kingdom is at least 50,000 people. If we continue to fight like this for a few more days, they will have to defeat them all. They will have to retreat without us counterattacking."
Of course Liu Xiangnan also knew that the opponent claimed to have lost 400,000 yuan, but now it had lost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. If the intensity of the attack was maintained, it was possible to lose 100,000 yuan in one day. After two days of fighting, the enemy would naturally be unable to attack.
Liu Xiangnan could understand, so could Prince Jonah. He saw that Zhu Meng could not attack for a long time, and his losses were getting bigger and bigger, and he became more and more irritable.
At this moment, a guard hurried in.
"Your Highness, there is news coming from the city."
Jonah's eyes lit up after hearing this, it was like a life-saving straw, "Quickly tell me what's going on."
The guard bowed and said, "Your Highness, Tieniu and the others said that Qiuye assassinated Liu Xiangnan a few days ago and his whereabouts are unknown."
"After many inquiries, they finally found Qiuye's body. She had been killed and her head had been chopped off."
After hearing this, Prince Jonah sat down slumped.
"Hey, even the Black Wolf Guards can't do anything to this Liu Xiangnan. What kind of extraordinary ability does he have?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another rush of footsteps outside.
Then some soldiers rushed in and said, "Your Highness, Zhang Liao, the counselor in front of Zhu Meng's tent, personally led the troops to attack the city. He was hit by several arrows and may not be cured. Now Zhu Meng has rushed forward personally."
Upon hearing this, Taiziqiao's expression became stern. He still admired Zhang Liao. Now that even Zhang Liao was defeated, this meant that Zhu Meng was at his wits' end.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's all, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops."
