The border troops suddenly appeared behind the besieging army, which made the generals of the besieging army very nervous. They all came to ask Xiao Beiheng. Now that the army was blocked by Leshan and then attacked by enemy troops, the situation was unfavorable. Should they withdraw their troops and return to the main camp for defense first?

Seeing that Leshan was about to be captured, everyone was thinking of retreating. Xiao Beiheng was furious and scolded:

"You cowards, what's wrong with the 30,000 border troops? There are at most more than 10,000 Leshan defenders left, and with the 30,000 reinforcements, that's 40,000. We still have 80,000 troops, twice as many as the enemy. I'm afraid

What."

He was much calmer than the generals who panicked when enemy troops appeared behind their backs. He ordered General Yan Yilong to lead 30,000 infantry and 10,000 crossbowmen to block the border army, and the remaining 40,000 troops continued to attack Leshan. Yan Yilong was once

He was captured by the Border Army and later rescued by Tiefutu. He returned to the gates of Leshan City and was eager to avenge his crime and make meritorious service. He immediately led his troops out into battle to meet the Border Army.

"The city walls of Leshan have collapsed. If we continue to attack, if anyone makes false claims about retreating, we will deal with them according to military law."

Seeing that Xiao Beiheng was desperate and determined to decide the outcome here, everyone was a little puzzled at first, but thinking that they still had 80,000 troops on their side, they indeed had an advantage, so they each returned to their own troops to continue organizing the attack.

Xiao Beiheng sent all the generals away and stood under his command, looking at the dilapidated Leshan City in front of him.

The two sides have been fighting for several days at the foot of Leshan City, with tens of thousands of casualties. The losses on both sides are roughly the same. He has more casualties, but he also has more soldiers. Now victory is waiting for him like hanging on the branches in front of him.

As long as he weighs the apples harder, he can put the apples into his bag. From now on, he will no longer have any worries. How could he withdraw his troops at this time?

He wants to finish his work in one battle.

The white fish belly appeared in the east, thick smoke filled the walls of Leshan City, and no one could be seen a few meters away. Qiu Liming struggled to lift the heavy body that was pressing on him, and sat up with a heavy breath. He felt a burning pain on his face.

The smell was pungent and unpleasant, so he reached out and pulled off a piece of cloth from someone next to him, wiped it on his face randomly, and threw away the piece of cloth dyed red and black.

The sword in his hand had been curled, and he didn't know which one he had replaced. He stood up, threw the curled sword from the top of the city, moved his sore arms, and bent down to find it again.

He held the sharp sword in his hand and weighed it, then picked up a shield, took two deep breaths, and shouted: "Those who are alive, quickly count them, the enemy's next attack is about to begin."

"General Qiu, I'm alive." Not far from him, a sergeant stood up from the ground unsteadily, holding a long gun.

Counting sounds from different distances sounded on the city wall: "Six...seven...eight...thirty...one hundred and seven."

"One hundred and seven, one hundred and seven," Qiu Liming repeated loudly, "Are there any more?"

"Yes, yes, yes," a hand stretched out from a gap in a pile of corpses. "Someone can help me quickly. I don't know how many people are pressing me down. I can't climb out." The nearby sergeant hurriedly came over and pulled me out.

The man pulled it out like a carrot.

Qiu Liming gathered the soldiers together and said, "Everyone, find kerosene to burn the ladders on the city wall. I will go and ask King An for troops."

Since the enemy began to attack the city, he has been guarding the city. With him as the backbone, the sergeants on the city have never been in panic. Everyone took action one after another, and some people poured the kerosene they found on the ladder outside the city wall.

, then lit it with torches and burned it, while some people looked around for arrows and weapons.

Qiu Liming came to the gap in the city wall, looked down and shouted: "Lord, there are only more than a hundred people left above."

Xiao Zhuozheng was sitting on the ground resting with a long sword in both hands. After fighting all night, his whole body was stained red by the enemy's blood, but he still stood tall and straight, not showing any sign of weakness. Next to him was Qiang Lin, and his whole body was full of blood. He looked like him, sitting cross-legged, filling his mouth with water from a water bag. Hearing Qiu Liming's call, Xiao Zhuo raised his head and said: "The queen will come with the reserve army soon."

Not long after, Mei Dai emerged from the smoke and dust. After the enemy army began to use ladders to attack the city, she, Shen Lan and other women retreated to a safe place in the city to prepare the army and materials for defending the city. Unlike the men, when the war was so fierce, she still found time to wash her face, comb her hair, and wipe her armor. This made her an eye-catching color on this tragic battlefield.

"King An, this is the last 10,000 infantry troops. All the bows and arrows have been used up." Mei Dai came to Xiao Zhuo. "Shen Lan is asking the lightly injured soldiers to collect rolling logs and stones, but it may be too late to transport them before the battle begins. come over."

"Is it the last ten thousand?" Xiao Zhuo looked at her, paused for a long time and said, "The queen can fight with me, Xiao Zhuo will bear it in mind."

Mei Dai smiled and said: "King An, Xiao Beiheng will not let us go to the four counties of Xiliang. If we lose this battle, Xiliang will definitely not be saved. I will not go to the city." After saying that, Mei Dai took the lead personally. Five thousand soldiers boarded the city and began to set up defense.

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly, turned to Qiang Lin and said: "Qiang Lin, you..."

Qiang Lin knew what he was going to say, so he put down the water bag and said, "No need to say it, Prince An. I also know that it will be over if the last 10,000 people fight together. But Xiao Beiheng and I have a mortal hatred. If we can't get revenge, then It is the will of God, and I will never run away from the battle."

Xiao Zhuo nodded and whispered: "Yes, the last ten thousand people... I wonder how Yue Xi is? She has Xiaobai, so she will definitely not be caught. Her riding skills are better than mine .”

"Lord," Qiu Liming shouted from the top of the city, "the enemy troops have begun to form formation again."

Xiao Zhuo jumped up excitedly and said to the five thousand soldiers near the gap: "Soldiers, the enemy is about to attack. Join me and block the gap."

The soldiers agreed in unison, clenched their weapons and followed Xiao Zhuo towards the gap in the city wall.

On the top of the city, Mei Dai picked up a shield and held it in front of her. She held her sword and stood with the defending sergeants. When Qiu Liming saw it, he quickly came to her and said: "Queen, it's too dangerous up here. Once You will definitely be injured if the arrow hits you."

Mei Dai said calmly: "General Qiu, these are the last ten thousand soldiers in the city."

A gust of morning wind blew away the smoke and dust under the city, revealing corpses all over the ground and enemy soldiers like ants. At a glance, the enemies were so densely packed that no one knew how many there were, and they were slowly approaching the city wall.

Qiu Liming and Mei Dai showed solemn expressions at the same time, clenching the swords in their hands. Mei Dai took off his mask and pressed it on his chest, muttering: "Father, brother... Mei Dai has tried his best. The moment Leshan fell. , it’s the time of my death.”

"General Qiu, Queen, look over there." A deputy general suddenly pointed to the east, "That's...that's the flag of the general."

Mei Dai was startled, turned around and looked to the east through the thick smoke. When he saw the border troops advancing towards Xiao Beiheng's army, he first showed an expression of disbelief, then her body trembled, and she ran to the gap in the city wall and shouted Said: "King An, reinforcements are coming."

Xiao Zhuo shouted: "Is it the border army?"

"Yes, my lord, they are the border troops." Qiu Liming also ran to the gap excitedly. "There are estimated to be more than 30,000 people. They are attacking the enemy's flanks and rear."

"It's Yue Xi, it's Yue Xi here," Xiao Zhuo showed a surprised look, then calmed down and turned to everyone: "The reinforcements are located behind the enemy. Our entire army will immediately rush out of the city and attack with the reinforcements.

enemy."

The defenders on the top of the city also saw the border troops coming for reinforcements and cheered. Under the leadership of Xiao Zhuo, they rushed out of the gap in the city wall and charged towards the enemy troops in front of them.

Under Leshan City, the final battle between the two armies began.
