As soon as it dawned, the Xia army began a small-scale attack. They used hundreds of heavy infantry teams to conduct disruptive attacks on the gate of Loucheng. The defenders of Loucheng fought back with bows and arrows on the city wall, but the bows and arrows It is of little use against powerful infantry who are heavily armored.
Seeing that the enemy was using attrition tactics, General Yang Chongxing immediately ordered, "Stop attacking with arrows and throw them all at me with stones." The soldiers quickly transported stones of various sizes from the Loucheng area onto the city wall. Sure enough, Xia Kingdom's heavy infantry was forced back by several waves of hundreds of squads by the rain of stones thrown by the Orbin Kingdom defenders.
Qiu Weijie ordered the general in the commander's camp, "Start counting from now on. Each of you will take 10,000 soldiers from the headquarters and fight for me until Lou Cheng is conquered."
After the general said "hey", they all walked towards their troops' camping area and quickly organized their troops.
The morning sun had just shone on the city (gate) tower above the city gate of Lou City. The first batch of Xia's attacking troops had already reached the city wall. The soldiers set up countless ladders and climbed up the city wall along the ladder network to defend the city. The soldiers fought back fiercely with stones, bows and arrows. Within half a stick of incense, there were only more than a thousand soldiers left in the first wave of Xia's attacks.
Immediately afterwards, the second wave of ten thousand people followed the first wave. All the remaining more than a thousand people retreated and launched the same attack. However, a small part of the second wave of ten thousand people attacked the tower and watched the battle from a distance. Marshal Qiu Weijie's armor now shone even more golden under the sunlight, and he ordered, "The third team attacks."
Ming Jin waved the flag and another Xia army rushed toward the gate of Lou City, trampling on the corpses of soldiers from the two countries left on the battlefield last night. The remaining 2,000 people in the second team all retreated at the same time.
Although most of the third force of 10,000 people stormed the city wall, Xia's coach Qiu Weijie did not allow the third force to withdraw until all of them were killed.
After the shouts of killing stopped, Qiu Weijie came to the foot of the city wall. One was the supreme commander of the Xia Kingdom's 300,000 soldiers, and the other was a white tiger that was a foot long. Its fangs were exposed, and its eyes were full of breath. It seems to be able to swallow everyone except Qiu Weijie.
Yang Chongxing, who was on the tower, shuddered in his heart when he saw the beast.
"I heard that General Yang is extremely courageous and brave. After this battle, he is well-deserved. General Yang might as well surrender. I will give the general an hour to retreat. You can retreat as far as you can. Anyone who cannot leave will be slaughtered and livestock will be slaughtered when entering the city. How about not staying?”
General Yang Chongxing stood on the tower and said loudly, "The person riding the little tabby cat below must be the number one Yin man in Xia Kingdom, Qiu Bandao? Why don't you build your path to immortality, and you are just a bird who comes here to join the secular world?"
It turns out that Qiu Weijie is a great practitioner and a member of the Liuli Sect. He is also a fellow disciple of the Liuli Sect members that Ban Yu Chuan killed last time in Guiluo Forest. It's just that Qiu Weijie is too smart, and the King of Xia Kingdom has long invited him to the court as a high-ranking official with a salary to serve as scouts. However, the Liuli Sect has already had complementary activities with the Great Xia Empire, but no one knows about it.
"I think you are a bloody man. You have to cherish the opportunity given to you. Are you so eager to die in a foreign land?" Qiu Weijie said coldly and contemptuously.
"It's a joke. My home is everywhere in the huge Orbin Empire. I can be buried in the land. My husband was born in the country of heaven and earth and should be a loyal king in his life. There is no need to return him in horse leather when he dies. You, a half-monk, will fight if you want." Why bother with this? Do you really think you are the smartest person in the world?" General Yang Chongxing said with a smile.
Marshal Qiu Weijie smiled and said nothing, and Yu Hu turned back to his camp.
The fourth wave of Xia's tens of thousands of troops attacked the city tower easily. General Yang Chongxing and his soldiers retreated, and the Xia army easily opened the gate of the city tower.
The Xia army rushed in. After a moment of fighting, the Xia army surrounded General Yang Chongxing of Orbin and a soldier who was covered with wounds. The soldier held a military flag in his hand. The little guy looked only sixteen or seventeen to the naked eye. Year old. The childish eyes reveal that he is indeed determined and tenacious. The flag was stained red with blood and even turned black.
General Yang had a broken hand, and the armor on his body had already been chipped into a mess. He held a big sword in one hand and put it on the ground. He looked at the countless Xia soldiers and asked the soldier beside him, "How old are you this year?"
"Report to the General: Seventeen just turned out today."
"Seventeen...Are you afraid? Child?"
"Don't be afraid to report to the general. Don't be afraid to defend your home and country."
Yang Chongxing glanced at this young soldier and suddenly thought, "This kid was caught last month for stealing meat that had just been cooked by the army chef. He was also punished by himself with ten army sticks. He was originally supposed to receive thirty army sticks. But when he was young, he was beaten with a military stick."
The soldier looked at General Yang Chongxing looking at him. He was just smiling stupidly, even though he was covered in injuries, he was still smiling stupidly.
General Yang also showed the warmest smile and said, "Does it hurt, kid?"
The soldier smiled and replied, "It doesn't hurt. I have no parents since I was a child. I have been begging for a living. The general didn't punish me severely, and those gangsters and rich people beat me so hard when I didn't beg... Hehe."
"I will be your father in the next life," General Yang Chongxing said in tears. In fact, Yang Chongxing asked Xiaobing if his injury hurt! However, the soldier deliberately replied that it would not hurt if he was hit by the ten army sticks.
"Okay" Xiaobing said happily.
As soon as he finished speaking, General Yang raised his sword and slashed at Xia's army, but spears coming from all directions stabbed the two men to pieces.
War, why war? Is it to argue about right and wrong? Or do you want to prove that I am strong and you are weak? . Or is it just to possess everything of the other person? Everything is correct. What is wrong is that the selfish desires of those who play power are too strong.
The city fell. In addition to the women and children who had already evacuated, other soldiers and civilians as well as the 70,000 soldiers assembled by General Yang Chongxing of Nanping Prefecture, totaling more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, were wiped out. The Xia army suffered 70,000 casualties.
At this time, the 100,000 soldiers of the Yang family led by Yang Chongzhi had just crossed the border between Wujun and Nanping Prefecture, more than a hundred miles away, and were still more than 700 miles away from the occupied city of Lou. The spies from the front came to report and preach that their brothers had died in the battle. , the commander-in-chief of a country actually shed tears.
It's just that even if the whole army traveled day and night for three days without eating, drinking or sleeping, they still couldn't reach Loucheng. However, the building city has been destroyed, and eighty miles away is the first small town under the jurisdiction of Nanping Prefecture, Guangguang.
At noon on the second day, Xia's 220,000-strong army garrisoned outside Guangze City. Every time Qiu Weijie wanted to attack a city or a pass, he had to go outside the pass or outside the city to station troops for a day.
In Guangze City, women and children were also evacuated first, leaving only more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians resisting with a death mentality.
In a famous tavern, an old man yelled at his daughter, "Why are you so disobedient? Women and children must evacuate. Why are you so disobedient to your father?"
"I won't leave unless daddy goes with me," the girl said.
"Dad can still cook and light a fire if you stay. What can you do if you stay? Listen to dad and run away first. When the Xia people are driven away, dad will come to take you home."
The girl cried and said, "I can fight with the Xia people if I stay. If I don't leave, I will be where my father is." It turned out to be Yuan Sisi and his father, as well as some waiters and cooks in the store. Everyone was trying to persuade Yuan Sisi to follow the others and evacuate.
But he refused no matter what.
Just then Ban Yu came in from outside the door, looked at Yuan Sisi and Cong Ren who were crying, and said, "You don't have to go anywhere, I'm here to protect you."
