Chapter 271

Perhaps they were blinded by the victory they had all the way. The people of Wei, who were under the Dragon City, seemed too proud. They only saw the surface of Long City, but they didn't understand what powerful defensive functions this famous northern city has.

The Wei army did not know that on the inside of the seemingly simple city wall, there was a best defense measure specially used to protect the safety of the city guards. That was the corridor at the top of the city. This slope-shaped corridor, which uses the city wall to cover it, can effectively avoid anything falling from outside the city and above. No matter how powerful the feather arrows of the siege were, the Zhao army would not hurt them at all as long as they escaped here. Moreover, there were countless detection holes on the side of the city wall. The defenders hiding here could easily observe the movements of the enemy outside the city and make it easier to react at any time.

It has to be said that the people who built Longcheng were really geniuses in this area. This unique design method provided the greatest protection for the defending army. At the same time, it also made their defense more effective and greatly reduced unnecessary casualties. Therefore, when the Wei Wushu launched a long-range attack with a long-arm crossbow a moment ago, except for a few people who were injured due to untimely evasion, most of the Zhao defenders were unscathed. When the Wei army's large group of troops began to attack the city, they climbed onto the city again and prepared to fight.

Wei Wushu, who had climbed up the city with confidence in victory, suffered heavy casualties at the first time. However, even if they found that the situation was unexpected, they did not choose to retreat. Instead, they continued to rush forward one after another. The bravery of Wei Wushu was not as simple as saying casually. At critical moments, they could be treated as death and never retreat. This is the most powerful thing that they achieved great reputation.

The tenacious resistance of the Zhao army and the casualties caused by this aroused the fierce aura in Wei Wuzhu's heart. Since the opponent's strength is still there, there is nothing to say. Close combat and hand-to-hand combat are their favorite ways.

However, what Wei Wuzhu did not expect was that what they liked was exactly what the Zhao army liked. The brave ones won when they met on a narrow road! The capital of Dragon City was a place they had to defend when they were ordered. No matter what the price they paid, even if they were filled with their own lives, no one would take a step back and let the enemy occupy an inch of the city!

Since General Long Yu led most of the Dragon Cavalry out of the city to fight, he directly commanded the people guarding the city and replaced them with three veterans. Except for the east gate of Longcheng, there is no need to consider the other three gates, the other three gates are guarded by the Prime Minister Fei Yi and Zheng Liancheng, Gou Wuyun. These three veterans who should have retreated to the mansion and enjoyed their old age, at this urgent moment when the enemy was at the city, they unswervedly put on their armor and walked to the city. They will use their lives to ensure that the city is there, and the city is dead, and the city is dead!

The Nancheng Gate, which was first attacked by the Wei army, was the Minister of State Fei Yi personally commanded the battle here. Compared with the Xiongjun of the North City Gate and the easy defense and difficult attack of the West City Gate, outside the Nancheng Gate became the most easily attacked place chosen by the enemy because of the smooth terrain. In fact, as expected, the first target chosen by the general of the Wei State was the Nancheng Gate.

If it hadn't been fully prepared earlier, the South City Gate would have fallen under the full attack of Wei Wuzhang. When the giant crossbows falling from the sky shot the city into a thorny forest, even Fei Yi, who had experienced countless dangers, his face would not be able to change color. The power of the Wei people is indeed well-known! There is Tongshan Iron Mine in its territory, and such a wealthy style is so arrogant!

However, no matter how much he sighs, Fei Yike is never timid. The old man who can be a general and a prime minister has a strong iron bone in his body. This royal city that he has used his life to protect most of his life, how can he allow sluts to trample on it at will!

As the enemy is facing, there is no need to say anything extra. Just fight! Fei Yi personally supervises the battle with his sword. The flag is flying in the autumn wind, and the beards of the veterans are all iron gray. From beginning to end, he stood on the top of the city and watched all the men of Zhao shouting and fighting with great pride.

When the city wall was filled with blood and the water in the moat turned red, the sound of gold was finally heard in the Wei army camp. At this time, it was almost noon, and the first fierce siege battle had been going on for nearly three hours from the beginning to now.

The reason why the Wei people stopped the attack was because the general of Wei who had been watching the entire siege was motionless and could not help it. He personally issued the order to stop. Even if Yan Hu was eager to win, he had to do so. It was because the casualties of Wei Wushu exceeded his expectations. He witnessed the corpses under Longcheng with his own eyes. Even if he was as hard as iron, he knew that if he did not stop, it would be useless to increase the casualties in vain.

This discovery made Yan Hu very angry. Bloodshots appeared in his eyes, his beard was blunt, and his face was very terrifying. No one dared to make trouble at this time. All the generals and schoolmen were speechless. After exchanging a look at each other, they began to go to school to take the army to take casualties.

"What is the situation on the top of the city? After so much effort, no one can attack...!"

After saying this to himself, he finally looked back at the Wei general who was on the battlefield just now and began to turn back to the camp. Although he was a little depressed and angry, he was not disappointed. Perhaps, such a Zhao army was worthy of opponents. If possible, he hoped that when he fought again tomorrow, he could learn from the lessons and prevent the blood of the dead and injured warriors from vain today.

Not long after, the results of casualties were counted. Yan Hu sat in the camp and frowned. In the battle, nearly 3,000 people died just outside the southern city gate. And several thousand were injured. Although such casualties were still bearable, he was extremely unhappy with this loss that had never been seen since entering Zhao State.

"If you pass the order, fight again tomorrow, you should use long-arm crossbows to serve as cover to effectively strike the Zhao army on the city... It is necessary to reduce our casualties."

Yan Hu summoned the generals and schools to readjust the combat deployment. He still didn't believe it! The 80,000 most elite Wei Wushu were in his hands to see how long the Zhao army could last. After the initial stage of the competition, they had already figured out the basic strength of the Zhao army. The maximum number of defenders in the city was more than 10,000. If the cavalry outside the city was added, there would be no more than 20,000 troops. With such a huge advantage, if we could not fight quickly and solve Longcheng, it would be too cowardly.

Not only was Yan Hu unacceptable to such a result, but the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command were also dissatisfied with ten thousand. They were about to be accomplished, and no one was willing to fail and were blocked from this strong city.

As for the cavalry of Zhao, although they need to be prepared, in the minds of these Wei people, they did not see how powerful they were. The 30,000 heavy armored infantry that could be drawn were specially used to deal with them. The people had long swords and big spears and long arm crossbows, but they were definitely not vegetarians! As long as they appeared again, they would be in a desperate situation.

The iron armor is rugged, the autumn wind is gradually rising, and the chill is getting heavier and heavier. All the Wei soldiers are full of confidence and are looking forward to the next fierce collision.

When the wind on the opposite side passed by the city with iron-blooded murderous aura, Fei Yi, who was sitting down and resting, stood up again. He leaned over the battle walls and looked at the chaos on the battlefield, and felt very heavy. As expected, when the Wei army truly showed its strength, its destructive power was amazing.

The entire section of the city wall near the South Gate was covered with mottled traces. Several places on the city head were damaged and needed to be repaired in a hurry. In the battle that had just ended, although the Zhao army effectively stopped the Wei army with a spirit of fearlessness, so that no one or another of the other soldiers could climb to the city head. However, they themselves also caused great casualties.

Even with such favorable conditions, more than a thousand Zhao troops died in battle on this section of the city wall. Such fierce hand-to-hand combat is difficult to avoid. Blood stained the bricks and stones, and broken swords and broken arrows were thrown everywhere.

"The king is polite to the lives of soldiers and never allows everyone to fight hard. But now, in order to protect Longcheng's safety and safety, he has to live up to his expectations... Alas! If he had to see all this, he would definitely be very sad!?"

Fei Yi's voice was very low and full of self-blame. Although in any aspect, this was a sacrifice that must be made, he still felt a little sad when he remembered the Chu Jiangmian order he just received yesterday.

The person standing next to him to assist in commanding the battle was Prince Liang Sheng. This royal prince who had not done much before seemed to have been reborn in less than a year. He was wearing armor, holding a long sword in his hand, and covered in blood. He looked no different from those iron-blooded and passionate men around him.

"Mr. Fei, why not use the secret weapon left by the king?"

Hearing Chu Liangsheng's low whisper, Fei Yi shook his head slightly, with a little bitterness and helplessness on his face.

"Although the weapons preserved in Qianji Pavilion are powerful, they cannot be used easily unless they are absolutely necessary. The king once said that those things were made in a hurry and did not go through much practical application, and they cannot guarantee complete safety. What's more, there are too many Wei troops... The Battle of Dragon City may have to last for a long time. The difficult days have not yet come, so you have to stay in the most critical moment before you can use them!"

Chu Liangsheng nodded. As one of the few people who knew some secrets, he thought that what the Prime Minister Fei Yi said was very reasonable. Since that is the case, before the good news about Chu Jiangmian came, everyone should use their flesh and blood to protect this royal city!
