After the Tang army successfully took over Xuantu City, they first sent soldiers inside to clean up any zombies and evil objects that might be present.

At the same time, the existing city should be expanded based on it, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate the 30,000 troops and the supplies hauled by hundreds of steam trucks.

Fortunately, for this expedition to Goguryeo, the Financial Chamber of Commerce, which contracted the military logistics, specially formed a [Tiangongmen] engineering team of 3,000 craftsmen, plus tens of thousands of skilled laborers working under the [Tiangongmen]

, it was so quick to build the city wall.

In order to rush to repair the wall before sunset, Li Daozong ordered five thousand soldiers to be on guard.

All the mercenaries and the Goguryeo people who had ordered the surrender of Xuantu City were put into work. The scene of tens of thousands of people working together was a spectacular sight.

In order to make progress, the engineering team of Tiangongmen gave up on building a city wall that was too tall, and just let the laborers be responsible for loosening the soil.

The craftsmen tried their best to save their limited mana, and concentrated on using the [Earth Moving Technique] to build a three-foot-high earth fence beside the ditch where the earth was taken. In addition, the ditch was deep and had a drop of five feet, which was enough to defend against the vast majority of people.

Attacked by numerous zombies and evil creatures.

I don’t know whether it was the large number of people building the city that made too much noise, or whether tens of thousands of people were exposed in the open space and attracted evil things.

Zombies and evil things that usually only appear after nightfall actually appear around Xuantu City in broad daylight.

Five thousand soldiers fought fiercely to the death, barely covering the engineering team and repairing the earthen fence for defense before sunset. The entire army withdrew into Xuantu City and blocked the entrance.

But I don't know whether it was their actions that stimulated these evil creatures, or the Yang energy emanating from the large group of living creatures attracted these evil creatures that were neither human nor ghosts.

They gathered more and more outside the barely repaired earthen fence, and even eagerly launched a night-long attack on Xuantu City.

Thanks to the sufficient strength of the Tang Army, it was more than enough to defend the small earthen fence. However, everyone had exhausted their energy in repairing the earthen fence. Several times, they were almost rushed onto the wall by evil creatures who were good at climbing. In the end, even [

The craftsmen of Tiangongmen had to push up.

Despite the small number of evil spirits besieging the city, they only numbered in the thousands, far less than the Tang army's 30,000-strong army.

However, these evil creatures are tireless and difficult to kill, and long-range bows and arrows are ineffective against them. They can only be incapacitated by cutting them into pieces in close combat.

Therefore, everyone almost relied on manpower to block the wall and knock down the evil objects that were constantly climbing up, and then barely stopped them from rushing into the city.

But just knocking them down won't kill them. If this continues, there will be no end, and they will be eaten to death sooner or later.

Li Daozong decisively ordered the demolition of residential buildings in Xuantu City, brought in wood to be used as paraffin wood, smashed down the walls, poured heavy oil on them and set them on fire.

From previous experience, these zombies, which are generally difficult to kill with copper skin and iron bones, are still afraid of fire. They relied on fire attacks for a whole night before they eliminated the thousands of evil creatures besieging the city and looted the land for the Tang army.

Got a moment of respite.

As Li Daozong had predicted, the Goguryeo people and the garrison in Xuantu City were trapped in the city and could not go out to collect firewood. They could only dismantle their houses to make fires for warmth. Therefore, many buildings in the city were originally demolished, but they were directly burned after this night's fire attack.

It was all gone.

Although there were animal skin tents and heating coal stoves carried by the Tang army, as well as coal carried with the army for heating.

But once the evil things come again and there is no fuel for starting a fire, it will be impossible to resist these undead monsters.

So after taking a short rest, Li Daozong allocated half of his manpower and took advantage of the opportunity around noon when evil things were scarce. He used steam trucks to go to the nearby mountain forest, cut down the trees and transport them back for later use. At the same time, he asked the engineering team of [Tiangongmen] to seize the time to reinforce them.

Improve the city wall.

After all, the earthen fence that was built in a hurry was not very strong. It was already damaged a lot when being scratched and climbed by evil things with sharp teeth and claws. In addition, it was even more loose and collapsed after being roasted by the fire all night.

Because the earthen wall suddenly collapsed, it was a trivial matter to sacrifice a few manpower unexpectedly, and evil things almost rushed in through the gap several times.

However, there are only a limited number of craftsmen who have mastered earth magic in the [Tiangongmen] engineering team. Just repairing the wall has exhausted their meager mana, and they are simply unable to build a stronger stone wall in a short time.

He can work tirelessly to repair the collapsed gaps and barely maintain his defense.

After several days of fighting and barely holding on, the Tang Army faced increasingly serious crises, and the scale of the evil things gathering from the thick fog became increasingly larger.

Just when they were about to lose their hold, another Tang army appeared outside Xuantu City, but it was Li Ji's tribe who came to support but was also lost in the foggy area.

The two armies joined forces, which slightly eased the predicament, and the number of Tang troops trapped in Xuantu City suddenly increased to 100,000!

It was different from Li Daozong who only brought 5,000 soldiers and 10,000 mercenaries.

Li Ji, who thought they had been attacked by the Goguryeo army, brought 20,000 soldiers, 20,000 mercenaries and a full 30,000 logistics.

Along the way, they followed the traces left by Li Daozong's tribe and pursued them in various circles in the heavy fog. They were also attacked by evil creatures, and their losses were even more serious than those of Li Daozong's tribe.

Fortunately, after the two armies joined forces, the manpower and material resources were relieved. At least they could take turns to defend and rest. In addition, there was a ready-made earthen fence for defense, so they could barely hold on.

Moreover, Li Ji's coming to help also gave Li Daozong's tribe a shot in the arm, which was already on the verge of despair. The Tang Empire did not give up on them!

Since there is a first support army, there must be a second support army, and with the disappearance of Li Ji's troops who came to support, the arrival of the heavenly soldiers and generals led by the [Wuji Sect] at Zhongnan Mountain will inevitably be alarmed.

, weren’t these monsters and monsters immediately turned into ashes?

It was this belief that allowed one hundred thousand Tang troops to persist in the small and broken city of Xuantu City for half a month.

Even if the attacking evil creatures became more and more powerful, their faith could not collapse until Bai Yuqi finally arrived.

And as soon as they arrived, they staged a powerful and shocking battle, which greatly inspired the morale of the army. The morale of the Tang army exploded, and even the negative energy fog dispersed a lot.

But if they knew that because Bai Yuqi "ran away from home" and went to Yingzhou, and the mountain was closed, the Tang Dynasty could not contact him as an immortal, so that the rescue was delayed for so long, they don't know what would happen.
