Facts have proved that there are no weaklings in the cruel living environment.

It has been more than half a month into the haze and rainy season. There are no more reinforcements on the north coast and even some troops have left privately. The trees have fallen and the hozens are scattered. No one will be loyal to a dying king.

The Chimang people finally decided to capture Yuecheng after they found that they could not continue to encircle the point for reinforcements. They would let more Central Plains forces see what it means to be brave and good at fighting. Under normal circumstances, the defending and attacking side of the city would need more troops to bear greater losses.

The reality is no different.

After the fall of the former Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains suffered serious losses from years of melee fighting, and were weakened to a very low level. Even the combat effectiveness of the army could not be improved. The battles were fought based on comprehensive strength rather than numbers.

On the top of the wall, the garrison of Yuecheng, who was looking at the densely packed Chimang people outside the city, was trembling with fear.

The recent breakout battles have given them a clear idea of ​​how powerful their opponents are. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Chimang people is no different from that of the generals and soldiers of the Central Plains army. If ordinary young men are well-trained, well-fed and well-equipped, they are fully capable of fighting.

It's a pity that only the former Tang Dynasty could afford expensive military expenditures. Now, if you can get only one tael of silver a year for five taels, you can kowtow to the officials and generals and call them Bodhisattva.

gruel.

How can a porridge-eater beat a meat-eater? No matter how good the art of war is, it will be of no use if his physical strength cannot keep up.

A fully professional army costs a lot of money, and no one is willing to pay for it.

Jiang Mian, Pan Hongzu and Chen Jia stood together. The drizzle wet their clothes and made them feel cold and uncomfortable. The people in Chi Mang outside the city didn't care at all that the city walls were slippery on rainy days. They only had a rag around their waists to protect themselves from the rain, and they were all bald.

It looks spectacular.

Zixu Pan Hongzu glanced at Chi Mang and shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist Pan, what do you mean by shaking your head? Can't we defend the city?" Chenjia asked secretly.

"Their formation is too chaotic."

"..."

Chenjia was speechless. I dare you to watch for a long time and pay attention to whether the formation is neat or not. As expected of a disciple of Chunyang who is proficient in magic, there is no room for flaws at any time.

The Chimang people outside the city were really in a mess. They gathered together randomly without formation and yelled.

The soldiers in the rear gave way, and Qiao Jin came to the top of the city with a silver gun in his hand and stood up. Behind him were the soldiers of Wu who were captured by the Yan army. At this moment, they all took their weapons and went to the city.

Don't worry about sudden resistance, because the Chimang people outside are more terrifying.

Jiang Mian, who was thin and had stubble on his face, smiled at Qiao Jin.

"Thank you, General Qiao, for your help."

"I am protecting my own home and it has nothing to do with you."

He said coldly and looked outside the city and ignored him, which made King Jiang extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the enemy outside the city and no one could hear him.

Outside the city, a strange Chi Mang man with tattoos all over his body and paint on his face raised his horn and blew it hard!

Woo...!

The horn sounded throughout the plain basin, and Chi Mang people rushed towards the city wall like a swarm!

There was no fighting method, no tactics, and no formation. He ran wildly in the rain with fierce eyes, carrying all kinds of rough and crude ladders and charging with strange screams. Pan Hongzu felt that the Chimang general would not stand in the distance and sit bored at all, and would probably rush to the front.

Because after the fight, there is no need for too much command, it is too chaotic...

Suddenly, dense arrows flew out of the city!

The defenders of Yuecheng immediately knew how powerful the Chimang people were in their archery skills. The craftsmanship was rough and the range was very long. The arrows kept falling on the wall, causing casualties!

When those messy ladders or even just bamboo poles were put up on the city wall, the battle went into a fierce battle. The crazy Chi Mang people climbed up the city wall despite the rain of arrows and rolling stone ants, and were almost breached at the beginning of the battle. Fortunately, they were led by powerful military commanders to defeat them.

They not only have to defend against arrows but also fight against the siege enemies. Those Chiman archers don't care at all about the indiscriminate attacks by their fellow ants attacking the city. The Chimang people who climbed up the city wall howled and screamed almost suicidally, slashing and biting like wild beasts with their swords and teeth, and were injured.

Before he died, he even dragged the soldiers guarding the city and fell off the city wall to die together. He used crazy and bloody methods to defend the city wall and the defense was crumbling...

No one expected that it would be a bloody battle from the beginning.

There was no rest, no formation changes, just non-stop attacks, starting from early morning in the rain until dark.

The blood stained the city wall red, and rainwater mixed with blood flowed through the drainage ditch. The injured soldiers were carried down the city with blood stains and wailing, and the bloody corpses were thrown directly...

My arms are sore and numb, my breathing is short of breath, my stomach feels like vomiting...

Chi Mang soldiers climbed up the city wall again and again and were beaten down again and again. Rolling stones, wood, gold juice, and all kinds of methods were used, but they could not stop the crazy monster.

When I found those bald weirdos receding like a tide, I realized that the sky was getting dark, and the haze covered the sky without knowing the time. Unknowingly, it had been fighting for a whole day.

"King Wu is a madman..."

Jiang Mian cursed loudly, but Qiao Jin next to him rarely refuted, and began to waver in his sense of belonging to Nanwu.

Seeing that the city wall was in a mess and there were heavy casualties, not only did the defense have no advantage, but it almost broke through several times. Jiang Mian didn't know if he could survive tomorrow...

The lights of the Yanjun camp on the north bank of the Wangjiang River were lit up, and many people were watching Yuecheng on the riverside and on the hillside.

I guess the reason why I didn't leave was to wait to see if King Jiang was killed by the Chimang people. Otherwise, the rebellion would be unjust and unjust. Since there was no way to rescue him, we might as well wait for the changes to come. No one wanted to risk his life with the Chimang lunatic who was like a beast.

Exhausted, Jiang Mian sat down, wiped the dirty rainwater from his face, and found that Pan Hongzu and Chen Jia beside him were spotless.

"Taoist Pan, will the Dragon Demon King come to save me..."

"You signed a covenant."

Pan Hongzu said one sentence and then stopped talking.

Future Human Emperor Jiang Mian may not have understood the meaning of this sentence right away. He was stunned before he remembered the covenant and complained secretly. If he had known this, he should have discussed it seriously instead of fooling around casually. The covenant is the most worthless in the world. Now he is waiting and watching on the north bank.

The situation is such that no more troops will be sent. Who knows if the 20,000 soldiers in Yuecheng can hold the city wall. After all, it seems that only the demon soldiers are left. I hope the Jiao Demon King can abide by the covenant and send troops.

As night falls, there are no stars and the moon is as dark as ink.

Copper basins filled with kerosene were lit at regular intervals on the city walls. The rain was cold and people were hungry. Faced with the crisis, people's hearts were uneasy. There were scoundrels in the city who took the opportunity to cause chaos...

Just when Yuecheng was in danger, the fleet from the Southern Wilderness sailed through the night with the help of the floods that surged during the rainy season.

Monsters with night vision capabilities helped the helmsman control the ship, and there were also water monsters underwater to assist. The fleet traveled at extremely fast speeds, passing by the twinkling lights of villages, towns and cities on both sides of the river.

Bai Yujun never felt that this operation was difficult. There was definitely a risk, but it wouldn't be too great.

The main purpose of sending troops to the Central Plains is to train troops and practice long-distance marches. A mere melee between the royal powers in the Central Plains is not worth mentioning. If Bai Yujun really wants to kill people, he can make the army collapse.

In the comfortable cabin of the flat-floor boat, the thick bedding is extremely comfortable, and the gentle rocking of the boat makes it look like a crib.
