Chapter 173
The seventh day is night.
The Liao army has been attacking for four consecutive days, and the Great Zhou defenders at Lingshou Pass have been rotated for several times. Everyone has become a little numb. They have no time to think about anything except slashing and slashing. Not only have the crossbow arrows on the city towers have been used up, but even the rolling stones, wood and hot oil have been thrown out. But the Liao army is still endless, and it is constantly coming.
After repelling the Liao army's attack again, the Liao army, which had surprisingly no follow-up, rushed up again, which made the troops on the city feel a little uncomfortable for a moment, but they also gave a big breath.
Meng Tian, Li Bao and Li Kaigu sat under the battlements and looked at each other. The armor on their bodies had already been covered with heavy blood stains, and they could not see the original color. Even the weapons in their hands were cut a little backward.
"How many troops have we lost in the past few days?" Meng Tian leaned on the battlement weakly and asked.
"We Longxiang Guard lost nearly 8,000 soldiers a few days ago..." Li Bao said with a heavy heart.
"Our Bingzhou Left Guard has lost nearly 20,000 troops, and the remaining one is less than 10,000 people. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid..." Li Kaigu's face turned pale and his heart was bleeding. His Bingzhou Left Guard was really almost wiped out. These are all his brothers.
When Meng Tian heard this, his face became ugly. In the past few days, the Liao army has been crazy, attacking Lingshou Pass regardless of losses or costs, and human life has become insignificant like grass. The Liao army's lifeless fighting style directly hit the weak point of Lingshou Pass's insufficient troops, making Meng Tian and the others a little tired of dealing with it.
I just didn't know what happened in the Liao army camp, but I didn't attack the city again, giving them a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
Without caring about anything else, Meng Tianqiang cheered up and said loudly:
"Brothers, hurry up and rest... save your energy!" As he said that, he closed his eyes and calmed down. Li Bao and Li Kaigu, who were on the left and right, had already fallen asleep tiredly. For a moment, the snoring sounds on the top of the city were trembling. They were really too tired.
…………
Under the city, the Liao army camp.
The chief managers of the four divisions of the Liao Kingdom sat in the central army's tent with different expressions.
"I think we should postpone the siege. Our Zhulu army has lost more than 40,000 soldiers in the past few days. If we fight in the field, we will be able to run away with this battle. Even now, we are complaining one by one. If we don't rest, we will probably cause trouble." Nata, the general manager of the Zhulu army, looked at the other three with an ugly face and said.
"Our Naiyan tribe has also lost more than 30,000 troops. If we continue to fight like this, we will become a lonely man." Yelu Xin, the general manager of Naiyan tribe, also expressed his grave expression.
"Who said no, my Yanqi headquarters has lost half of its troops. If this continues, I see that Lingshou Pass has not been captured, so we will finish the game first." Duolun A, the head of the Yanqi headquarters, also said with some dissatisfaction.
Li Jinbao, who was sitting aside, didn't say anything. Doron's face suddenly darkened and he said angrily:
"Li Jinbao, what do you mean? Do you still want to attack the city?"
Li Jinbao glanced at the three of them and said in a deep voice:
"You are just thinking about your own discs and jars, have you ever thought about how to explain to Dahan once we take it down?
Li Jinbao's words immediately changed his expressions of the other three people. They knew exactly who the Khan was. They really couldn't hold on if they were angry.
Seeing that the three of them looked gloomy and uncertain, Li Jinbao continued:
"Besides, our four divisions have lost tens of thousands of troops. Did they just leave in panic? Are you willing to do it?
Do you know that once we stop siegeing the city, the Khan will send another strict order to attack Lingshouguan. Will we fight or not? Have you ever heard a word?
'War, courage is also true. One fight, one will make one move, and then it will fade away.' If we really retreat this time, we will never have a chance in the future. Do you understand?"
"Also, haven't you seen it? The Zhou army is almost unable to withstand it. If we do our best to attack again, we may be able to have tea at Lingshou Pass tomorrow."
Li Jinbao's remarks immediately made the other three look at him with admiration. Unexpectedly, Li Jinbao's craziness had such delicate thoughts. He really couldn't be seen.
Seeing that the three of them were hesitant, Li Jinbao hurriedly said:
"Otherwise, let's fight for another day. If we can't get Lingshou Pass, what if we withdraw troops at that time?"
After hearing this, the three of them hesitated and agreed. After all, the Liao Lord gave them a death order. If they could not conquer Lingshou Pass, they still didn't know how to punish them. They could only try it out.
But in a moment, a harsh horn sounded again in the Liao army camp.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou who were sleeping on the city tower immediately woke up. Meng Tian and the other two quickly stood up and looked down at the city. They saw that the lights under the city were like the sea, and countless Liao soldiers were shouting and killing to rush towards Lingshou Pass.
The three of them suddenly became ugly. The Liao army was still there. Meng Tian waved his gloomy face and his hands were swinging. The war drums on the city tower sounded "dongdong" and the resting soldiers immediately got up and rushed to the city, holding the weapons in their hands tightly at the bottom of the city, but no one could see the fatigue in their eyes.
Soon the Liao army's ladder was put on the city wall and hooked tightly on the battlements. At this time, everything that could be thrown in the city had been thrown away. There was no other way except to fight to the death.
For a moment, flesh and blood were flying everywhere again. The Liao army climbed up the city with no chance, while the Zhou army desperately drove the Liao army down. There was a chaotic battle everywhere. Both the Liao army and the Zhou army were slashing and killing each other, and no one took a step back.
In this way, you and I have been fighting each other endlessly. At this time, a little fish white light lit up from the east, and the morning light first appeared. Another whole night passed. At this time, countless Liao troops had already surged up from Lingshou Pass, and swords were everywhere. It had reached the most critical moment. Fantasy Novel Network
Meng Tian used all his strength to swing his sword and stabbed a Liao soldier who was rushing towards him to death. He staggered and took a step back, leaned against the pillar of the city tower, and gasped heavily.
"Grandmaster, there are too many Liao troops, we can't hold on!" Li Bao, who was covered in blood, ran to Meng Tian with a long sword and said anxiously.
"Where is Li Kaigu?" Meng Tian asked back.
"General Li, he... he was attacked by the Liao army and was seriously injured. He didn't know his life or death..." Li Bao said with a sad expression and said in pain.
Meng Tian also looked dark, and after a moment, he suddenly laughed, stood up hard, and said with hiss:
"A real man has done something, but he will not do anything. Since Your Majesty handed over Lingshou Pass to me, even if I die, I will die on the top of the city..." He said, looking at Nanfang and murmured:
"Your Majesty, I have really tried my best, but in the next life, let me repay you with my kindness again!"
As he said that, he raised the sword in his hand and rushed towards the Liao army. Li Bao's eyes were also slightly red, and he shouted and rushed into the Liao army...
