Zhu Lingyue rode on the war horse, looking at his army covering the sky and rushing towards Hezhou City like a flood. Naturally, he also saw the tenacious resistance of the defenders and the charge of the Tianshan Army also suffered a certain blow.

He looked cold, but he was also extremely calm.

On the battlefield, it is inevitable that people will die, and he also understands that although the Tianshan Army is crowded and has undergone rigorous training in Tianshan, most Tianshan Army can only be regarded as a group of hunting dogs.

Although the hunting dog is fierce, it is not a vicious wolf.

Wolves eat meat when traveling for thousands of miles, and dogs eat shit when traveling for thousands of miles!

What he needs is not just a team of hunting dogs. He needs a bloodthirsty wolf army. No matter how training is done, the hunting dog cannot become a vicious wolf. He can only pass through the blood and fire on the battlefield, watch his companion fall down beside him, and only trample on his companion's body and rush forward and cut off the enemy's neck can he turn from a hunting dog into a wolf.

He also knew that although the Tianshan Army was disciplined by clear rewards and punishments, among these chargers, the lethality of the counterattack on the city wall would definitely be terrifying.

Only by holding on and overcoming the heart of terror can we train a bloodthirsty army.

Indeed, when the charge of the Tianshan Army saw that their companions were dying miserably, their hearts were covered with a sense of horror. They roared desperately, trying to suppress their fear with their own yelling sounds. Faced with the flying arrows and stones, some soldiers who could not support them could not bear it and turned around to run. The cavalry of the law enforcement team was behind them. The enemy was cruel, but the law enforcement team was even more cruel. They chopped with knives, stabbed with guns, whipped with whips, and killed the retreating soldiers like animals, as if these were not their companions at all, but their enemies.

If you retreat, you will die, and there is still a glimmer of hope for moving forward!

A corpse on the ground was connected with another corpse, and blood was flowing. The small catapult carts and bows and arrows at the top of the city were continuous. The Tianshan Army's catapult carts did not stop. They advanced to the front of the Tianshan bow and arrow troops. Under the command of the general, they had already organized a counterattack on the city. The arrows from both sides came and went, forming a rain of arrows all over the sky. Although the charge of the Tianshan Army was quite casualties, the Xiguan Army guarding the city was also very casualties. From time to time, soldiers were caught in arrows and fell from the city, and sometimes huge rocks flew to the city, which instantly caused fatal lethality to the soldiers who were bravely resisting on the city.

The five major square formations of the Tianshan Army were originally spreading to attack the entire west of Hezhou City. The main force of the defending troops was concentrated in the middle section to protect the city gate and to give the Tianshan Army the greatest damage before the Tianshan Army approached the city gate. Because of this, the three major attacking arrays near the middle of the five major square formations suffered considerable losses.

Although the left and right wing square formations were also resisted by the defenders on the city, they were weaker than the blows suffered by the companions of the major square formations in the middle. Moreover, the Tianshan Army concentrated three square formations to attack from the middle and rushed towards the city gate. Han Ying naturally concentrated the catapult to the middle and launched a fierce counterattack on the Tianshan Army that attacked the middle.

Although there are also archers on both sides of the city wall, the number is much smaller than the middle. Archers are technically owned, and not any soldier can shoot arrows. The few archers cannot defend the entire city head to airtight, and the number of archers living on both sides is much smaller. Because of this, although the charge of the two wings of the Tianshan Mountain was also blocked to a certain extent, the progress was much smoother than that in the middle. When the three middle formations were still a distance from the city gate, the two wings had reached the base of the city wall after all.

Under the cover of archers, in the shooting corners under the city wall, the infantry set up ladders, climbed up ladders, shouting and climbing up. After two volumes of dozens of ladders were put on, the city wall was already black. The Tianshan Army had already ordered that the first person to reach the city was to have a bounty of 300 taels and a promotion of three levels. This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for most people. The soldiers rushed to climb the ladders, seeking wealth and honor in danger, because they were extremely afraid, and they had forgotten life and death. They only thought about killing to the city and becoming the first person to climb the city.

Although the cavalry of the Tianshan Army did not move and then launched an assault after breaking the city, they saw that the army had already reached the city wall and built a ladder. They immediately waved their sabers and made cheers of thunder and thunder, and were magnifying for the infantry brothers who were sieging the city in front. The cheer seemed to have taken down Hezhou City.

Infantry climbed the cloud ladder to grab the city head, while the archers behind were not stingy with their arrows. In order to cover the troops who climbed the city, countless arrows were flying in the air. It was a thrilling scene, just like a waterfall pouring down from the sky.

Brick chips flew everywhere on the city wall, cracks everywhere, from the cracks, from the shooting holes of battlements, and from the cracks, there seemed to be arrows everywhere on the city wall, and the entire city was moaning. From time to time, people were caught in arrows and fell to the ground on the city wall, and the defenders were lying on the bloody handprints on the battlements, and arrows were flying around.

The messenger ran back and forth at the top of the city, and the calls came one after another. The continuous sounds of the catapult cart and the powerful attack crossbow made people's eardrums hurt.

The logistics team led by Huang Yutan was already part of the battle at this time. Although they could not personally pull the bow among the arrows and stones, they formed small teams to transport arrows and stones to the soldiers fighting and bloody. Some logistics teams had already set up big pots and carried buckets of hot oil to the top of the city. They poured them head-on as the Tianshan soldiers climbing the ladder. The Tianshan soldiers who were bravely climbing immediately became fire all over, crying and howling.

War has always been hidden in Pandora's box. Once the box is opened and war is released, it will be a tragic Shura hell.

Tianshan soldiers are numerous, and the walls of Hezhou City are also very long. Thousands of soldiers defend the long city, so the troops will never be too sufficient. Where the guards cannot take care of, some Tianshan soldiers sneak up on the city wall. The patrol team formed at the city will immediately pounce on them whenever they see Tianshan soldiers emerging from the battlements.

The Tianshan Army suffered a lot of casualties, and the pressure on the defense line at the city was getting heavier and heavier. There were more and more Tianshan soldiers approaching the city wall, and more and more ladders on the city wall. Some Tianshan soldiers had already climbed over the battlements and climbed to the city wall.

The war not only occurred in the west of the city, but also came from other aspects of Hezhou City.

Gan Hou's 20,000 northwestern army also launched an attack on the north side of Hezhou City. Xu Shao led the defenders at the top of the city to resist tenaciously, and the howling sounded throughout the four fields of Hezhou City.

On the south of Hezhou City, Zhu Lingyue transferred his troops and horses to attack the city. However, compared with the war in the west, the most casualties were also severe.

There were three killing sounds on Hezhou City, but the east of the city was relatively quiet. Zhu Lingyue had just transferred two thousand people at the top of the city. Although he shouted and bluffed, he did not really launch a crazy attack.

The dog jumps over the wall when he is anxious, and the rabbit bites people when he is anxious. As long as there is no way out for a person, that is the most terrifying creature. Zhu Lingyue understands this point very well, so he deliberately deploys weak troops in the east, which is actually giving the Xiguan army a retreat so that the Xiguan army can know that they have a way out for retreat and not fight to the death completely. In this way, it can also avoid major casualties of their own army.

It seems to be a way out for the Xiguan Army, but in fact it is to relieve oneself of pressure.

Because the troops outside the East Gate are weak, the Xiguan army may not be desperate to fight with the will of death. In this way, the Tianshan army can reduce losses.

But this is just a false way to live for the Xiguan Army. Zhu Lingyue was cunning and he deliberately put this route on it, and even really hoped that the Xiguan Army would really break through the east gate after it could not stand it.

What he actually dislikes the most is the siege war. Before the war begins, he wants to use various means to minimize the loss of siege war as much as possible. He is also prepared to pay a certain price once he sieges the city.

In comparison, what he wanted to see most was the field battle on the plains.

He had a powerful cavalry, Black Wind Cavalry. He had always devoted his energy and thoughts to the construction of cavalry, invested a lot of energy and money, and indeed built a cavalry legion that was at least unrivaled on the northwest land.

In his opinion, if the guards of the west gate army really think that the east of the city can break through, or even break through from the east city if they can't support it in the end, it will be exactly what they want.

The Xiguan Army had few cavalry. Even if they successfully broke out from the East City, it would be time for the Black Wind Cavalry to show their power. The Xiguan Army that broke out would be a group of frightened lambs, and its own Black Wind Cavalry would be a group of evil wolves chasing and slaughtering lambs.

The battle at the head of Xicheng City was already a close fight. After all, the Tianshan soldiers attacking the head of the city were a minority, and the defenders at the head of the city had already been ready for the fight. The two sides fought hand-to-hand combat at the head of the city and fought bloody battles.

The defenders were not at a disadvantage in the battle at the city wall. On the contrary, there were already generals shouting loudly on the front of the city wall: "Brothers, brothers guarding Kezhou, not long ago, they won the victory of Kezhou and killed Beishan Army and abandoned their armor. Our Hezhou Army is not as good as the brothers in Kezhou? Many of you are transferred from Kezhou. Since the Beishan Army and they were killed, can't they defeat the Tianshan Army?"

The shouts came one after another, inspiring the defenders.

For the soldiers who guarded Hezhou earlier, the great victory in Kezhou made the soldiers and horses of Kezhou who participated in the southern front extremely glorious, and were all the Xiguan Army. Hezhou Jun naturally was not willing to fall under the Kezhou Army. Many soldiers transferred from Kezhou participated in the Battle of Kezhou. When they thought of that battle, they were even more passionate and a glory of victory shrouded their hearts.

With the inspiration of the city guards, their morale was greatly shocked, and they suppressed the Tianshan soldiers who had climbed to the city.

Zhu Lingyue and some generals who were watching the battle in the rear frowned. There was no doubt that Hezhou's resistance exceeded their imagination. In their hearts, they thought that the army was approaching. Even if the Xiguan Army still had to resist, they would inevitably have a low morale in the face of a battle that would definitely be defeated. However, the situation in today's battle seemed unexpected. The Xiguan Army's resistance was indeed amazing.

The Tianshan soldiers siege the city fell one by one in a pool of blood. Zhu Lingyue frowned. The generals around him couldn't help but say, "Du Zhu, the casualties are too great. Should I withdraw the troops for the time being and take a rest for a while?"

Before Zhu Lingyue could speak, he suddenly saw a cavalry coming, "Report that Zhu Du, General Gan attacked the North Gate, suffered a lot of casualties, and he has withdrawn temporarily...!"
