Thinking of this, even if everyone was reluctant to give up, they could only go out to their accounts with a grimace and began to gather their cronies.
Now that things have come to this, I have to bite the bullet and do it!
I just hope that those two guys don’t do too much in the future.
Drooling soup is also good.
As the main force of the Nanhua Army, the Red Eyebrow Army, the Five Dou Rice Sect and other small forces rushed to the top of the city, an even more brutal fight immediately ensued.
Although the combat power of these ragtag groups was not only compared to that of the Heavenly Army under Wang Zheng, but also inferior to that of Xu He's Taiping Army.
But after all, these people are either the personal guards of Chen Jiao and others, or they were bandits before, or they are the backbone of young people selected from countless refugees.
No matter the weapons and equipment or the courage and bravery, they are naturally far superior to those of the previous refugees.
When it fell into the eyes of the officers and soldiers, they felt that the thieves' attack suddenly became much more violent, like a storm.
And Li Jiayuan on the top of the city saw the changes even more keenly.
Has the main force finally been dispatched?
While commanding the officers and troops to meet the enemy, he secretly observed.
When dusk fell again and both sides withdrew their troops, Li Jiayuan looked at the corpses on the platform and the city and sighed.
There are mountains of corpses, just as tragic as yesterday.
A large number of vultures also appeared again and circled over the city.
But the biggest change is... there are more corpses of officers and soldiers.
Much more!
When the soldiers made a rough calculation and reported the figures, even though Li Jiayuan had been prepared, he still yelled out a curse with a local accent:
"***!"
The soldiers from the two counties suffered more than 300 casualties...
The militia soldiers were reduced by more than 500...
Rough statistics are just conservative estimates.
This means there is probably more to it than that!
Including the previous losses, the total has exceeded one-tenth of Linzi's current total military strength!
...
The casualties of the official army were nearly a thousand, and the casualties of the Allied forces were naturally even more severe.
After counting, Chen Jiao and others all looked gloomy and no one spoke.
The strange atmosphere made the people around these leaders hold their breath and dare not take a breath.
a long time.
"Damn it!" Huo Kai finally couldn't hold it back and cursed out his anger: "Why did you lose so much in just one day?"
"Are you sure your calculation is correct?" The leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist, pursed his lips and said in a dry voice:
"Is it really five thousand?"
Chen Jiao heard this and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he heard another big man suddenly burst into laughter.
"Five thousand...five thousand..." He looked crazy and shouted almost ferociously: "All my brothers are almost dead!"
"Do you think there are five thousand?"
Everyone fell silent again.
This is the smallest force among the six of them, originally numbering nearly 3,000 people.
Now it only took one day, but it was almost completely broken up.
"This is all thanks to that Shuzi!"
The big man's last curse made everyone's eyes turn to Wang Zheng's camp.
Everyone was gnashing their teeth and their eyes were ready to spit fire.
"Everyone, let's wait and see tomorrow." Cheng Jiao suddenly sneered:
"I want to see how hypocritical this guy can be!"
They had already heard about it.
Wang Zheng's main army only numbered more than 10,000 people.
He has suffered a lot of injuries, but when it is his turn, he will not be in any better condition!
In the eyes of everyone, Wang Zheng was definitely not willing to send out the main force, so he could only force the refugees to go up and die.
At that time, they will inevitably fan the flames and let the refugees directly cause chaos.
.....
At this time, Xu He had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Similarly, he was also watching the destruction of Wang Zhengying with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Chen Jiao and others suffered great losses today. Xu He saw this and smiled in his heart.
But I am also looking forward to tomorrow even more.
These days, Wang Zheng has been trying to win people's hearts and even instigate his own refugees. Xu He has long been very dissatisfied.
Coupled with the previous festivals, new and old grudges surged up at the same time.
Now Xu He is waiting to see the good show.
When he thought about it, Wang Zheng's current situation was very embarrassing.
Is this different from the previous days when we were filling rivers and building walls, but we still wanted to do the work without putting in any effort?
Let alone Xu He, Chen Jiao and others would never agree!
then what should we do?
Are the refugees also forced to attack the city?
That would be a slap in the face, and would attract the hatred of all the refugees even more than them.
Send out the main force?
Hey... Then Xu He is going to laugh out loud.
Xu He was really looking forward to Wang Zheng being young and vigorous, and made this happy decision out of shame.
Shuzi!
If you use your elite main force, if you lose too much, I want to see how you can compete with me when the city is broken!
...
Linzi was trapped on the 18th day.
The human world is in turmoil, and the celestial phenomena seem to be abnormal as well.
On this day, the sky was covered with dark clouds, gloomy and gloomy.
Li Jiayuan on the top of the city looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly in his heart.
It seems that heavy rain is coming.
God can't bear to watch this, is he shedding tears for us?
From the moment he stepped onto the city wall today, the young captain always felt inexplicably uneasy.
But he didn't know why.
After thinking for a long time but with no clue, Li Jiayuan walked slowly and pondered.
Could it be that the thieves will attack the city today?
It shouldn't be.
The main force was dispatched for the first time yesterday, and then went all out?
Besides, there's only one slope after all, so it's impossible for thieves to swarm up it, right?
What's more, Li Jiayuan also consciously saw the opponent's combat strength level.
To be honest, they are barely better than ordinary refugees.
Even if he knew that he was the weakest of the three groups of thieves, Li Jiayuan calculated based on this that even if the elites on the opposite side were much stronger, they would not be able to defeat the city in one fell swoop.
After all, to put it bluntly, Xu He and Wang Zheng on the opposite side were leading nothing more than Yellow Turban bandits.
Although Wang Zheng had the record of leading his troops to defeat the official army head-on, he was still a cavalryman after all.
In cavalry battles, sometimes it is indeed more likely to be one-sided.
What's more, after these days, Li Jiayuan also has a certain understanding of the former Linzi officers and soldiers.
Compared with Cao Jun, it is far behind.
Things are different now.
During these days, training and the tempering of war have made the Linzi soldiers much more powerful than before.
Li Jiayuan really wants to confront Wang Zhengzheng and save the face Dong Lin lost before!
But the vague ominous omen in his heart still made him feel uneasy.
He knew that it was an instinct born from years of battlefield battles, warning him.
a long time.
He suddenly called his soldiers:
"Assemble all the elites and come to the city to help defend!"
"The militia group goes to the left, the family army group goes to the right, and all of them are sent to me to garrison on the other two walls!"
"Let the reinforcements prepared by the salt merchants be waiting below the city head!"
"The cavalry and pikemen are ready at any time. The bandits may send cavalry to charge today!"
"Go immediately and ask the county guard to come and beat the drums in person to boost the morale of our army!"
Orders were issued urgently one after another, and Li Jiayuan finally believed Mo Ming's omen.
I seem to have seen the scene not long ago.
The intensity of today's battle may far exceed everyone's expectations!
