During the time that came down, both sides worked hard and continuously invested various types of weapons and a large number of troops.
The fighting continued day and night, becoming more and more intense.
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and the siege battle had entered its fifth day.
Outside the East City, the Xingluo soldiers have repaired and reinforced most of the ground, reaching the foot of the walled city.
The tall city climbing vehicles, ladder trucks, etc. have already arrived from behind.
On top of the city.
Chijian was so anxious that he even had a few blood blisters the size of his little finger at the corner of his mouth.
"General," a general who defended the city ran in with red eyes, "The Xingluo people tried their best to jam our logs and rolling stones with instruments, and now even the spare ones are almost scrapped."
"What should we do?"
As for lime, kerosene, etc., they have long been exhausted.
Nowadays, apart from gold juice and life, there is almost nothing that can stop the enemy.
Phew~
Chijian took a deep breath.
He was out of breath, and his heart felt even heavier, as if a big stone had fallen.
"I know, general."
Chijian tried his best to put on a relaxed smile and patted the young general's shoulder comfortingly.
"You go back to your combat post first to supervise the battle, and at the same time, let all the brothers rest assured that everything in Beiguan is under the control of the general."
"As for the baggage items such as hammers and rolling stones, I have already had a batch of them remade and will be delivered to the city shortly."
"But..." The young general's face turned gloomy and he hesitated to speak.
This is not the first time that he has come to ask for material things or people.
However, every time Ikema answered like this, the result was nothing.
Ha ha.
Chijian was not angry, but laughed loudly.
"Huangyan Qianchang, don't worry. Think about it carefully. Before the Beihai Pass defensive battle started, how did the brothers feel when they heard about the Starfall Legion?"
Without waiting for his subordinate's response, he continued talking.
"I can't say that I'm shying away, but at least I'm in awe."
Having said this, Chi Jian walked to the entrance of the small cave where soldiers were hiding and pointed toward the lower part of the city with disdain.
"Now it seems that the Starfall Legion is not very good, at least it is not in line with their previous astonishing reputation. The first army of the mainland and the undefeated division of Yunzhui are pure bullshit. They are not blocked by our brothers.
Five days?”
Huang Yan's spirit perked up, but then he soon became weak again.
"General," he couldn't help but say, "but Xingluo is the siege party after all..."
Siege warfare is inherently difficult to fight.
What's more, the Beiguan Pass was originally a strong northern pass carefully built by the Yunchui Empire, and it was even easier to defend and difficult to attack.
Moreover, they are not generals like Huang Shitao, the former guard of Beihai Customs, who neglected their duties and only wanted to make money and never cared about city defense.
Facing such a heavily defended and impenetrable level, it would be impossible for anyone to conquer it within five days.
Chi Jian quickly waved his hand and interrupted the young general's words.
"Huang Yan, stop talking and go back and tell your brothers that we were able to hold off the Xingluo people for five days before, and we can hold them off for another five days."
Having said this, he turned his head and glanced towards the north with a dancing brow.
"This general has just received news that our allies, the Ridan tribe, will rush to Beihaiguan in the next few days. Not only have they brought enough people and horses, but also a large amount of food and medicine..."
Huang Yan suddenly raised his head and became energetic.
"General, is it true?"
Xingluo's long-range bombardment for five consecutive days, with countless stones and crossbows hitting it, it can be said that there are no longer a few complete battlements at the head of the east city.
Coupled with the large number of arrow chariots approaching, the Japanese pirate soldiers at the top of the city had no way to hide, and almost all of them were injured.
However, the medicines in the customs in the north have been almost used for a long time.
Now, almost everyone in the city is wailing. However, soldiers are still dying due to lack of medical treatment and medicine. Morale is extremely low.
If this continues, I'm afraid Beiguan will collapse before the Xingluo people even start climbing the wall.
Chijian smiled and nodded heavily, "Of course it's true."
"In less than five days, I will ensure that you can hear the earth-shattering sound of horse hooves coming from the north."
"That's great." Huang Yan cried with joy, "We are finally saved."
Taking advantage of his happiness, he quickly asked a few more questions, and then happily left the Tibetan Soldier Cave.
However, as soon as Huangyan walked away, another messenger hurried in.
Report!
"General, news from the southern sea."
"A large-scale Yunchui fleet has appeared on the surface of the North Sea. It is heading towards our Beihai Customs at full speed. It is expected that it will appear at the Beihaiguan City at the earliest in the evening the day after tomorrow."
What?
Chijian felt dizzy for a while. After regaining consciousness, he quickly took the information and glanced at it a few times.
"Yang Miao is here, where is Haneda Yokoto?"
When asked this question, his mouth was full of bitterness.
There was deathly silence in the Tibetan Soldier Cave.
All the military advisors and lieutenants felt heavy, and no one answered.
Some of them did not dare to say anything, while others did not know how to answer.
Now that Yang Miao has brought his fleet to kill them, as for Haneda Youxiang, do they still need to ask about their fate?
"General," someone couldn't help but come over, "I wonder how many people Guoerluosi brought south this time?"
As soon as Yang Miao arrived, Beiguan was surrounded on three sides.
If Gollos brings not enough people, the result will still be undefensible.
Then they should consider other plans.
Chi Jian's heart was in a mess, and his face turned dark when he heard this.
"Why are you asking these questions?" His voice was filled with murderous intent. "Are you all running out of things to do?"
"If you really have nothing to do, and there are many things on the city, you can defend the city for me."
"Yes, yes, yes." The others shrank in fear and quickly pretended to work.
After a while, Chi Jian came to his senses.
He rubbed his stiff face and softened his voice.
"Don't worry, everyone, just do your own thing first, which is to provide the greatest help to the defenders of the city. As for Gorros, General Genjing will handle it himself."
"As long as we wait until Huayang County is successful, there will be hope for the future."
"That's what the general said." Everyone quickly agreed.
Ikema had received the information, and Masato Nei in the guarding general's house naturally also learned that Yang Miao's fleet was about to arrive.
He quickly sent another team northward.
However, not long after the team set off, someone ran back rolling and crawling on the ground.
"General, good news."
"Since receiving the general's order a few days ago, Gorros has not dared to neglect at all, and has always urged the Ridan tribe army to speed up the pace of their march south. They were not slow in the past, and now they can be said to be working hard day and night."
"It was a small fluke that I learned of this good news, so I hurried back to report the good news to the general. The Japanese and Dan army are now not far from Beichuan."
snort.
Masato Nei snorted coldly, not wanting to listen to his flattery at all.
"Tell me! How long will it take for the Japanese army to arrive here?"
"This is going to be the exact time."
"This..." The little messenger hesitated for a moment, not daring to be glib again, "General, based on the previous speed, Guoerluosi can arrive at Beihaiguan at the earliest at midnight tonight and at the latest at tomorrow morning."
Phew~
Masato Nei let out a long breath, a hint of joy flashed across his face, and at the same time, his hanging heart finally returned to his stomach.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
Just arrived.
Wow~
Suddenly there was a commotion outside that was more intense than a siege.
Genjing Masato's ears were sharp, and he even heard the cheers and screams of countless soldiers crying with joy.
His heart moved, and he quickly ran to the yard, squatted down and pressed his hands on the ground.
The ground seemed to be shaking faintly.
"This is……"
Massive cavalry approaching?
Masato Nei reacted and was immediately surprised and delighted.
"Come here, the Ridan tribe is here. Open the north gate to welcome them."
