Soon, Zhao Da went back and forth.
"Uncle, the Sixth Prince agreed." He said.
Hearing the news, Liu Mo felt uncomfortable for a while.
If the siege lasted for more than five days, Minghaiguan would become like a hell on earth!
Foul-smelling corpses piled up on the city walls, the blood of soldiers dyed the entire land red, and countless crows landed on the ground to eat...
Liu Mo didn't want to think about it, but he had to think about it.
What Liu Mo didn't expect was that the sixth prince was even more ruthless than himself. Not only did he order not to recover the bodies of his own soldiers, but he also ordered his soldiers to keep an eye on the defenders of Minghaiguan all night long.
Once you find that the other party is trying to recover the body, shoot him mercilessly!
The corpses were piled up near the city walls, which would emit a foul odor over time, making it more likely to cause a plague. It was the defenders who were more affected, not the attackers.
Early the next morning, Liu Mo joined the siege troops again.
This is a critical moment in the battle. As the frontline commander, he cannot stay in the wounded camp for too long. This will have a great impact on the soldiers.
Although Zhu Min, Zhao Da and others tried their best to dissuade him, Liu Mo went without hesitation.
When he came to the city wall, Liu Mo frowned.
The process of the siege battle was not very smooth. After finally storming the city wall, the defenders were driven back tenaciously.
Under Zhu Min's pressure, the revitalized attacking soldiers launched another attack, and the situation on the city was unpredictable for a while.
After changing hands several times, both sides suffered heavy casualties. It was not until dusk that the attacking soldiers who were blocked outside the city finally broke through the city gate by relying on the large gap opened by the siege vehicle in the city wall.
They swarmed in, and the first city wall fell completely into the hands of the attackers.
There is only a distance of three thousand steps from the gate of Minghaiguan City to the entrance of Mingyueshang Crack, and there are two other city walls in between, one of which is extremely wide. It stretches from the city gate to the end.
Rows of houses line both sides of the road, but all have now been transformed into makeshift barriers.
After the first city wall was lost, the defenders retreated to the road from the city gate to the exit.
Although the defenders still have the next two walls to rely on, the attackers can completely occupy the first wall and take advantage of the loopholes in the level's architectural structure to fight.
Because the city wall was originally designed for the north, the attackers could be said to attack from inside the city to outside the city, and the defenders no longer had much geographical advantage.
But the attacker also has difficulties.
First of all, because it is a mountain, this road is difficult to walk. The remaining defenders are now standing behind the temporary fortifications, bows and arrows, and quietly waiting for the attackers to approach.
Although they were a miscellaneous army recruited temporarily, the momentum they showed was not inferior to Liu Mo's army who wanted to go home.
Their unswerving determination put great mental pressure on the attackers.
Liu Mo knew that these three thousand steps were very difficult to walk!
It was getting late, and the siege soldiers began to light torches, illuminating this small checkpoint.
Following Liu Mo's order, the final attack began.
Liu Mo, Zhao Da, Zhu Min, Lu Sheng, and Sun Kan took turns to go into battle, leading the most elite troops to engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.
Just like the last battle to defend Rongcheng, the streets were full of obstacles. Liu Mo's military advantage could not be used at all, and the battle evolved into a tug-of-war, inch by inch.
The long street was suddenly stained red with blood.
Soldiers on both sides knew that the battle had entered a fever pitch, and that the next battle was about the life and death of both sides, and they must go all out.
Countless figures advanced and retreated under the firelight, until soldiers from both sides kicked violently, fought with blood-red eyes, and slashed with all their strength.
When the knife breaks, he bites it with his teeth, hits it with his fists, and kicks it with his feet. From weapons to weapons given by his parents, they all come in handy.
Arrows were flying in the air, attacking soldiers on both sides indiscriminately.
Although the offensive was not going well, it was still developing towards a favorable situation.
By midnight the second wall was breached.
Then, Liu Mo worked hard, and finally when dawn was approaching, the attacking troops had advanced to less than a hundred steps from the entrance to the crack in Mingyue Mountain.
Bai Chengzong's men are now in charge of the attack. Liu Mo and others have been fighting hard for a day and a night, and it's time to replace them with fresh troops.
Following them is the main force led by the Sixth Prince. When Bai Chengzong retreats, they will immediately rush forward and take their place.
When the Sixth Prince's troops were tired, Liu Mo led the troops to take over their positions.
Everyone takes turns to fight and take turns to rest.
As for the buildings on both sides of the street, if they were fought over one by one, casualties would be huge, so Liu Mo suggested using this simple and crudest way to deal with it.
Burn everything that can be burned, and destroy everything that can be destroyed!
Although this is more labor-intensive, the effect is very good. In this way, you no longer have to worry about a sneak attack by defenders in the house!
Relying on this tactic, the attackers forced a passage through the defenders' solid defense line.
Of course, the price paid was extremely heavy. In just two thousand steps, more than four thousand soldiers died on the long street.
After advancing dozens of steps, the entrance was within reach, and there were only a few hundred defenders standing in front of Liu Mo. Each of them still carries injuries.
However, this group of soldiers still stood in front of them with gritted teeth and refused to give in.
"So tenacious." Liu Mo couldn't help but sigh, "These are my soldiers of Daxia, good men of Daxia!"
Although they were enemies at the moment, the tenacity of the defenders left Liu Mo and others in awe.
Finally, when there were only a few dozen steps left at the entrance, the Sixth Prince's attack order was issued.
"Attack with all your strength, break through here, and we can go home."
With victory in sight, the exhausted soldiers were immediately boosted in morale and they charged forward like beasts.
Under the overwhelming offensive, the last resistance of the defenders seemed so feeble. The last stone blocking Liu Mo and others was finally removed, and the way home was cleared.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Liu Mo sighed.
After fighting hard all day and night, he was overtired and sat on the ground, leaning against the cold stone wall, and then let out a long sigh.
"This is the passage home!" After resting for a moment, Liu Mo raised his head and looked at the passage.
The straight plank road extends from underneath me to the south, and the visual distance is at least thirty miles.
Nature is really magical, and it can actually form such a jaw-dropping passage.
The passage is very narrow. From the entrance, the widest place can only accommodate seven or eight people walking side by side.
It would take at least half a day for hundreds of thousands of troops to pass through here. Since it is naturally formed and the rocks on both sides are very solid, it is unrealistic to widen the passage.
But the obstacles have been removed, and the joy of returning home makes the soldiers extremely excited.
The sky begins to turn white, dawn breaks through the darkness, and the Daxia soldiers who have left home can finally go home!
