Seeing this, the retreating soldiers had to muster up courage and kill the city wall again.
After paying a heavy price, the moat was always filled with sandbags and corpses. But at this time, the land under the city wall was already stained red with blood.
Soon after, the siege ladder was set up on the city wall, and the siege truck also drove to the bottom of the city. However, what greeted them was an even fiercer resistance from the defenders.
Bows and arrows, boiling water, rolling stones, and thorny horizontal beams poured down like a sudden storm.
Naturally, the siege engines under the city wall were hit hard.
The huge stones thrown from the city walls were undoubtedly a huge threat to the wooden battering rams.
The boulder fell and immediately smashed it into pieces.
And the rain of stones and arrows that kept falling like a heavy rain turned the soldiers on the ladder into hedgehogs. In less than a quarter of an hour, the corpses under the city wall had already piled up into a hill.
After experiencing heavy casualties at the beginning, the siege troops finally regained their footing, and Liu Mo also began to command catapults, archers, and defenders to launch a counterattack.
Soon, when the first siege soldier climbed up the city wall on a path made of corpses, what followed was an even more brutal close-quarters fight.
The Sixth Prince's troops attacked one after another like a tide, while the defenders refused to give an inch and resisted desperately.
The blades shone in the sun, and the two sides fought and killed each other.
On the one hand, he is fighting to go home and to survive, as brave as a wild beast. The other side believes that they are protecting their homeland and the country, and they have an extremely firm position in their hearts.
Both sides have their own views of justice, their own lives, and they are fighting each other for the people they love.
Flesh and blood splattered on the city wall, one life after another was sacrificed here, and was sent to another world by the sharp blade, a heaven without disputes or wars!
As the commander-in-chief, Liu Mo also went into battle at this time, relying on his powerful martial arts to kill as many defenders as possible.
Zhu Min, Zhao Da, Sun Kan, Lu Sheng and others also returned to Liu Mo.
After experiencing so much, each of them has changed, and they have to be brave and as ferocious as beasts.
When Liu Mo pierced a defender with an oath, the oath unexpectedly met Lu Sheng's sword in the defender's belly.
"Well done!"
Liu Mo couldn't help but praise that there was such an accident among the rebellious army.
Lu Sheng grinned at Liu Mo, and then the two of them drew out their swords at the same time and continued to kill each other, because the current situation did not allow them to be distracted.
Just when the city was about to fall into the hands of the attackers, the defenders suddenly launched a fierce attack.
Liu Mo looked up and saw that it was a new force that had joined!
They quickly filled up the defense line that was about to collapse, and the battle returned to the previous garbage battle.
The newly added reinforcements are obviously the main elite of the defenders. Both in terms of combat effectiveness and mental state, they far exceed the previous troops.
After a fierce close-quarters battle, the city that had been occupied was forced back bit by bit by the defenders.
At this time, Liu Mo was fighting and suddenly encountered a strong enemy.
This man wore the same armor as an ordinary soldier and fought with Liu Mo. At that time, Liu Mo was very happy killing the "weak chicken".
The first thing I felt when I met him was how could this ordinary soldier, who had been beaten so well, be able to compete with Liu Mo with his brute force.
Just when Liu Mo was confused, the man suddenly stopped, pointed at Liu Mo with the tip of his sword and said, "Traitor, I didn't expect that you really have two tricks up your sleeve."
"Who are you?" Liu Mo also took back his oath and stood there staring at the man.
"Why, don't you remember me?" the man replied, "That day at the First Prince's banquet, you stole the show!"
"The eldest prince's men?" Liu Mo was surprised.
"Hmph, I heard that you killed Gao Qi, but why do I think this is false?" The man continued, "With your martial arts, you are no match for him!"
"After I kill you, you can go to the underworld and ask him!" Liu Mo placed the oath on his chest, "Now, die!"
Liu Mo knew that the other party was a tough opponent, so he didn't dare to hold anything back.
The two swords collided together again, and they both let out a muffled groan at the same time.
The power coming from the opponent's long sword was no worse than that of Yang Yizhi, so much so that Liu Mo felt his hands go numb from the shock.
"Remember my name, lest you become a ghost in the future and don't know who to seek revenge from." The man said, "My name is Li Shan!"
"Are you Li Shan?"
Liu Mo had heard of this name. He was the right-hand man of the eldest prince and a general as famous as Gao Qi. In terms of martial arts, he is also on par with Gao Qi.
"Haha, have you heard of my name?" Li Shan said with a smile, "If you don't enjoy the blessings in your fiefdom, you have to follow the Sixth Prince around the world. Why bother?"
After the blow, Li Shan stood motionless in front of Liu Mo, frowning. Liu Mo's strength also surprised him.
"Why, if I stay in Rongcheng, the eldest prince will make me king? Let me enjoy all the glory and wealth?" Liu Mo said with a smile, "I advise you, let us go over. I will remember this friendship."
"Make way? Sorry, we can't do it. I'm loyal to His Highness." Li Shan replied.
"But don't you know what kind of person the eldest prince is?"
"Everyone has his shortcomings, and the eldest prince has his shortcomings, but overall, in these troubled times, he will be a good emperor!" Li Shan replied tepidly.
This general has a gray beard, messy hair, bright eyes that make people look majestic, and a weathered face that makes people awe-inspiring.
This person is a slow-tempered, slow-tempered general with a very good temper. What a headache!
From Liu Mo's understanding, slow-tempered guys are the most difficult to deal with, because you can't anger such a person and make him lose his mind. They are like poisonous snakes, coiling their bodies in a circle to hide all their weaknesses.
Waiting for their opponent to reveal a weakness before delivering the killing blow.
Suddenly, Liu Mo seemed to notice something.
"What did you say just now? Emperor?"
"Why, you don't know yet?" Li Shan said, "Now the eldest prince is the emperor of Daxia."
"What about the previous prince?" Liu Mo asked in surprise.
"Also the emperor!"
this...
The eldest prince and the prince also broke up? Two people each claiming the throne?
Li Shan didn't answer. What he was waiting for was now, the moment when Liu Mo was surprised and distracted.
"Traitor, die!"
After saying that, Li Shan raised his sword and struck hard.
Obviously, he was going to bring up the rhythm of the battle, so this sword was completely a forceful attack.
Liu Mo's reaction was no different than before. He suddenly raised the oath and the two swords collided together again.
It was as if both sides were using their full strength, so much so that after the collision, both of them were forced back several steps by the impact.
When the two sides stood up straight again and planned to fight to the death, suddenly the attacker blew the horn and called for gold to retreat...
