Looking at the burning corpse, the Hu man was really crazy and desperate now.
The corpses are piled under the wall. Now that the corpses are burned, it will probably affect their ladder!
The Hu people hurriedly moved the ladder that was still intact.
Just now, Li Qiao damaged more than 30 of the 70 ladders in order to control the number of barbarians rushing up the tower.
Now the Hu people only have more than thirty intact ladders left.
While rescuing the ladders that were still intact, the barbarians frantically asked the heavens and the earth to ask themselves: With so many manpower, they were unable to take down the tower. Who had damaged their siege equipment?
Who is it? !
Moreover, is this battle still necessary?
The siege vehicle was broken down, and only about thirty of the seventy ladders were left. Now that the corpses were burning, they had to get out of the way.
It will be noon if we continue fighting.
The meal they had eaten in the middle of the night had been consumed by now.
Originally they thought they could capture the border town quickly so that they could use the food and meat from the border town as their lunch.
But now the border town is impregnable, but they have suffered heavy casualties. Where can they eat?
They are running out of energy.
What the fuck is going on today?
First, two to three thousand people were drowned when crossing the river. Although some people climbed up the bank, there were definitely close to two thousand people who died.
When rushing towards the tower, Dasheng's trebuchets and crossbows took away at least three to four thousand people.
The power of Dasheng's weapons today is extremely powerful. One hit is accurate and one shot knocks down a piece!
When they came to attack the city, they fought for more than an hour. The flat ground downstairs and in the trenches were densely packed with corpses of their warriors, so many that they could no longer count them!
As for those who were still alive, looking at the tall and solid tower in front of them covered with the blood of their companions, they felt helpless except for despair.
The ladder will break down at any time. With only the remaining ladder, their chances of capturing the border town are close to zero...
Go back?
Withdraw troops?
The leaders of the five major tribes did not rush to the front. They were watching the war remotely from the range of the Dasheng trebuchet and bed crossbow.
Someone continuously reported to them the news from the front.
They kept arguing.
What they want to know most is who broke so many weapons. Today, these siege weapons are not from one tribe, but from five of their tribes!
Who has the ability to destroy all the important weapons of their five major tribes?
Who has this ability? !
Where there is speculation, there is quarrel.
None of them admitted that it was related to their own tribe. They only felt that it must be someone from another tribe.
When the news came that the siege engines and ladders were broken, their quarrel became more intense. While they were blaming each other and settling old scores, they were hesitating whether to continue fighting today's battle.
Bershot's department still insisted on continuing to fight.
This time they lost their first warrior, and also lost the town's important weapons. If they didn't bring the remaining four troops to attack the border town, they would definitely not be able to avenge Ha Keku by themselves.
The remaining four films were unwilling.
What does it matter to them if Ha Keku is dead?
I want them to say, Hakku died well! In this way, when they fight for territory in the future, there will be no strong general like Ha Keku to disrupt the situation.
This is beneficial to all four of them!
In fact, if they really can't take the Dasheng border town and the four of them join forces to swallow up the Bershuote tribe, it doesn't mean that they can't hold on until the spring comes.
The people in the four departments all had their own thoughts. Therefore, after learning that Dasheng set fire to the corpses and that many warriors on the front line wanted to quit, the people in the four departments immediately made a decision.
do not fight!
If the fight continues, more of them will die!
Although the warriors of their tribe are brave, they are not without brains. Without the bonus of heavy siege weapons, how can they possibly capture the border city with only more than thirty ladders that can break at any time?
withdraw troops!
As for what kind of trouble will happen after returning, it depends on each person's ability. If the four tribes really join forces, the possibility of swallowing up the Bershot tribe is extremely high.
Moreover, to be cold-blooded, more than 20,000 people were lost today. If so many people died, there would be no need to consume food.
The remaining four tribes did not fight. The people of the Bershuote tribe were in great distress. Compared with the other four tribes today, they lost a strong general and the number one warrior of the five major tribes of Donghu. This account was only due to them. I can’t get it back!
But the people from the Bershuot tribe could not order the remaining four tribes, so the remaining four tribes blew the horns to retreat and let the warriors of their own tribes come back.
After being incompetent and furious, Bershot's troops could only call back their own warriors. One Hakku had already died, and there could be no more casualties.
Chang Wuchang has been dealing with the Hu people in the past few years and has been able to distinguish what their horn sounds mean. When he heard that the Hu people were about to retreat, he subconsciously looked at Li Qiao.
Although Li Qiao is a civil servant, it was Li Qiao who reminded him to burn the corpse just now. This shows that Li Qiao is a bold and careful person.
He subconsciously wanted to ask Li Qiao's opinion.
Should we pursue or not?
"No pursuit. The enemy probably withdrew their troops because they saw that there was no hope of breaking through the city gate. If we open the city gate and take the initiative to pursue them, then they might kill someone who turns around."
"Although we killed a lot of barbarians just now, the barbarians still outnumber us. If we open the city gate, it would be like actively letting the barbarians in."
Li Qiao said directly without thinking.
Although he really wanted to continue using his powers to kill a few more barbarians.
But they should not open the city gates at this time.
Being able to kill so many barbarians today was a surprise to him.
If he had sneaked out of the city and gone to the territory of the barbarians and let the barbarians freeze to death as he had planned, then he would not be able to freeze to death as many barbarians as he did today, and the risk of exposure would be greater.
His personal abilities are limited and he is not a god. Today he did his best on the premise of preserving himself.
When he returned to Shengjing and learned the news about the border town, he no longer had to wonder what he would do if he was in the border town.
He came to the border town, and although the process was different from what he expected, he did kill the barbarians.
"However, you can continue to use the trebuchet and crossbow. I think there are still a few stones and arrows left."
he said again.
Chang Wuchang couldn't help laughing after hearing Li Qiao's words: "Brother, I was the one who was blinded by the success just now. I shouldn't ask about this matter. I really can't pursue it."
"You were too tired to react."
Li Qiao said with a smile.
"Hey! Brother, I just love to hear you talk. Are you willing to save my face!"
Chang Wuchang laughed again when he heard this, feeling very happy in his heart.
So many barbarians were killed today, but only a few hundred people were injured in Da Sheng, and not a single one died!
This battle is enough to keep him bragging for a lifetime.
No, after he was buried, he had to let his son and grandson continue to blow, because not only did no one die today, the barbarians even fell into the river when they rushed over!
God takes action + the Hu people fight among themselves. There are so many things to talk about in today's battle!
Not only Chang Wu was laughing, everyone on the tower was also laughing as they looked at the enemy's fleeing back. While laughing, they beat the drowned dog with a trebuchet and a crossbow.
Their thoughts are similar to those of Changing.
There are too many interesting details in today's battle. They were in the shadow of death and rejoiced at other times. This kind of 180-degree turn was enough for them to remember for a lifetime.
After the Hu people had disappeared, Chang Wuchang sent someone out to check and confirm that the Hu people had really run away. He and Li Qiao went down the tower.
When the fighting was fierce just now, the soldiers threw many corpses of barbarians into the city, and these corpses had to be cleared out.
There were also corpses outside the city that had to be piled up.
It's a pity that some of the corpses outside the city were burned, and military merit is calculated based on the number of enemies killed. Of course, Chang Wuchang himself does not care about the rewards. He cares about the soldiers who killed the enemy today.
After fighting so hard for so long, I was injured and my arms were sore from swinging the sword that I couldn't even lift it up. However, it was a pity that I couldn't accurately count the number of enemies killed.
Li Qiao did not return to the inn. He stayed with Chang Wuchang, watching Chang Wuchang command people to clean up the war and count the number of Hu people killed.
He could see Chang Wuchang's troubles, but he didn't say a word.
Just report it truthfully.
Today's battle was fought so beautifully, Sheng Honglong was so happy that the reward he gave would be more than the actual one, and definitely not less.
Although Sheng Hong is somewhat short of money now, he will definitely make enough of this reward.
It wasn't until dark that Li Qiao returned to the inn.
Several officials who were traveling with him were relieved to see that he was finally back.
The thoughts of these people are similar to Chang Wuchang's. Li Qiao is treated like half a prince. If something happens to Li Qiao, Sheng Hong will definitely feel that they did not persuade Li Qiao to stay in a safe inn with them.
Now that Li Qiao is back safely, Sheng Hong doesn't need to anger them anymore.
However, border towns are so dangerous!
Although I was prepared for the barbarians to attack the city before coming, who would have thought that the barbarians would attack the city on such a large scale this time!
Fortunately, God helped us, and the Hu people themselves were also fighting among themselves, otherwise today would be their death anniversary next year.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that the border town was dangerous. The next morning, when they had breakfast with Li Qiao, they couldn't help but give Li Qiao suggestions to return to Beijing early.
They knew that Sheng Hong must have assigned some tasks to Li Qiao that they didn't know about, but the main task of this trip to reward the soldiers had been completed, and Li Qiao's identity was so important that even Chang Wuchang couldn't bear the responsibility for Li Qiao's accident. Then why not take advantage of the Hu people's retreat and sneak back to Shengjing?
Chang Wuchang thought so too.
This time the barbarians attacked, they really scared him half to death.
Although he is not afraid of death, he does not want to die either. He has seniors and juniors above him, so he cannot die calmly.
