Chapter 168 Turning Changes

The fierce battle continued until the sun set in the afternoon, and both sides paid a heavy price. The battle situation was always in a stalemate. In the end, Harry Qisheng saw that he could not win and had to order the troops to withdraw. ↑

After the war, the city walls were filled with corpses of soldiers from both sides of the enemy and us. Zhu Yongqing had already sent the organized people to come up and carry the wounded down for treatment. At the same time, some logistics personnel also began to clean up the battlefield on the city wall with the help of the people. With the help of the people, the engineers also seized the time to repair some damaged areas.

Seeing the bodies being carried down, Qin Mu couldn't help but think of a poem in his mind: "The country and the country are in the war, how can the people live in the world be happy? Don't talk about being a marquis, and one general has achieved success and thousands of bones are undone. Rumor has it that a battle of all gods is sad, and the strong soldiers on both sides have not stopped. Who says that Cangjiang has always had nothing to do, and has been fighting together for blood recently."

Many soldiers were paralyzed on the ground due to extreme mental tension or excessive physical fatigue. When the enemy yelled, they relaxed and were paralyzed on the ground, and some even fainted on the ground.

Qin Mu also felt a little tired. This was something he had never experienced since practicing "The Vajra Art". The main reason was that he had too much psychological pressure. While checking the situation of each department, he arranged for his subordinates to seize the opportunity to rest, and he also tried to relax and relax. In Qin Mu's view, it was a way of civil and military affairs. Only those who could rest would work better.

After Zhu Yongqing counted the losses, his side killed 8,335 people and injured 11,005 people, of which 4,355 were seriously injured. In just one day's battle, more than one-third of his combat power was lost. It seems that in the next few days of battle, more than 7,000 new recruits would inevitably be pushed to the battlefield.

But the enemy's losses are at least twice as much as that of one side. Only after experiencing such a fierce battle can one truly become a qualified warrior.

The Hunting Camp. Harry Qisheng, Desima and Harry Podo sat in the tent with a gloomy face. "It seems that the enemy's combat effectiveness is quite strong. We all underestimated our opponents, and the commander is also a veteran, but we did not have any news from each other. In this regard, we were behind the scenes." Harry Podo said with an ugly face.

"Have we counted out the damage?" Harry Qisheng asked at Desima.

"The count has been completed, 15,678 people were killed in battle and 7,689 people were seriously injured. The minor injuries were not counted." Desima replied.

"Oh~~"

After sighing softly, Harry Qisheng felt a little headache. His intuition would probably not have a satisfactory result if he continued this battle. There was a serious shortage of infantry and a very lack of siege equipment. The other party seemed to have no intention of taking the initiative. The cavalry of his own side was useless. It was not realistic to return to the territory to recruit or draw infantry and siege equipment. But it was not realistic to withdraw troops like this. Not to mention that Desima and Harry Podo would never agree, even if he felt it was a bit difficult to accept.

"Desima, what do you think?"

After thinking about it, Harry Qisheng was still a little confused and had to seek the opinions of Desimma and Harry Podo.

"I think the enemy is very tenacious, but the number will definitely not be large. Otherwise, when our attack is frustrated, we will suffer greater losses when we suddenly go out of the city to attack us. So my opinion is to continue to strengthen the attack tomorrow. I guess the enemy will be very difficult now, just to compare who is more resilient. I don't believe that our three warriors in the East Expedition will lead a 100,000 army to not even take down a small Tokugawa Castle."

Desima still said with confidence, in fact, it was mainly because he was afraid that he would not be ashamed to meet people when he lost. Over the past ten years, when others came to Tokugawa County to plunder resources, they had returned with a full load. Basically, there was no reduction in staff. However, the three of them led an elite army of 100,000, but they got nothing and returned with a crushing defeat. They really couldn't afford to lose that face.

"Harry Podo. What about your opinion?" Harry Qisheng looked at Harry Podo again and asked.

"Well, we do have some difficulties now, but if we go back in shame, our tribe members will definitely laugh at us, and it is not easy to explain to the eldest prince. However, if you are the head coach, it is up to you to decide." Harry Podo's tone was obviously not as firm as Desimma, and he seemed a little hesitant.

Harry Qisheng pondered for a while before making up his mind, "Then we will spend two more days concentrating our strength to attack. What Desimma said makes sense. Although we are in trouble, the enemy will not be much better. It depends on who can hold on first."

On May 13, 13th, the 13th year of the Apocalypse, two consecutive days of crazy attacks were overwhelming. After paying a huge price, Qin Mu's side could no longer support it. The city walls in the southwest corner had collapsed several places. In the face of the wild impact of the Huns, they completely blocked the enemy's charge with flesh and blood. Almost all the power that could be used was used. If they persisted, they could only let the unarmed people go.

Looking at the corpses and wounded soldiers everywhere, Qin Mu felt a little exhausted. There were only less than 3,000 new recruits who still had combat effectiveness. In addition, more than 10,000 veterans who still had combat effectiveness, it is probably difficult for them to persevere tomorrow.

Qin Mu walked among the soldiers, encouraging the soldiers while chatting with the soldiers with interest. The soldiers who were originally very nervous and tired all relaxed.

When I came to the head of the West City again, looking at the people who were busy restoring the city wall, how useful is it to look at the people who were busy repairing the city wall? Such a simple repair can only maintain a charge once. Shangguan Yonglun, my future brother-in-law, now depends on your performance, and all hope is placed on you. Qin Mu looked at the northwest and thought silently.

At this time, Shangguan Yonglun had no idea about the difficult situation in Tokugawa City. He led three thousand cavalrymen quietly ambushing near the logistics supply point of the Huhun people about fifty miles behind the Beihun camp.

Since the Huns were mainly cavalry and needed a lot of grass. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking fire, Harry Qisheng set up a food and grass supply point fifty miles behind his camp and sent 5,000 troops to guard it.

Shangguan Yonglun had been ambushing in the woods here for three days. Three days ago, the scouts discovered the enemy's food and grass supply point, so he led nearly 3,000 cavalry to lurk here, but the enemy's defense was very tight and the troops were several times more than their own side, so he had no chance.

Shangguan Yonglun admired his boss' accurate judgment very much. He remembered that before leaving, Qin Mu warned himself that he would either succeed in one fell swoop or wait for the time to be ripe. In the past two days, the enemy transferred troops from here twice in a row. Now there are only about 2,000 garrison troops here. The time is ripe. It is estimated that Tokugawa Castle is also in some difficulty, so the winner is here.

Taking advantage of the dark sky in the evening, Shangguan Yonglun led three thousand cavalrymen to cover the horse's mouth with chewers, then wrapped the thick cloth and rushed towards the target quietly. Seeing that he had arrived at the edge of the camp, Liang Qiming shouted: "Brothers, come with me!"

With the sound of thunderous iron hooves, the rockets flying all over the sky were accompanied by a special rocket. The arrows were filled with yellow phosphorus, which could spontaneously ignite, causing a huge fire in the supply station. The place was filled with forage, and once it was drawn, it could not be extinguished at all. With the subsequent unknown number of enemies attacking the cavalry units, the unprepared Hunting soldiers were immediately in chaos. For a moment, the fire snakes rushed four times and thick smoke rolled. The cavalry of the first cavalry brigade followed the situation and could not resist. They just wanted to escape. In an instant, the extremely important logistics supply station of the Hunting was wiped out.

The Hunting Camp. Harry Qisheng, Desima and Harry Podo were obviously much better than two days ago. After two consecutive days of fierce battles, the enemy's resistance has been significantly weakened. Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Tokugawa Castle conquers.

However, Harry Qisheng always felt something was wrong. The enemy's commander could see that he was not an ordinary person. He must also know what the result would be, but the other party still had no movement. It seemed that he wanted to live and die with the city. If so, he would overestimate the opponent's wisdom.

Seeing Harry Qisheng a little uneasy, Desima and Harry Podo, who were chatting and laughing, couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Harry Qisheng, what's wrong with you?" Desima asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just a little bit full of things in my heart, and I always feel like something will happen." Harry Qisheng said with a frown. Maybe it's because he's too tired these days and he's thinking too much.

"What's going to happen? The enemy has been surrounded by us in the city like an iron barrel. I have ordered all troops to be on guard and prevent the enemy from breaking through, just wait for the turtle to catch the turtle in the jar. In fact, the enemy is better off. We can take advantage of the situation to chase, so it's easier to win. And the information also shows that there are no reinforcements sent by the surrounding Qin Empire territories, and they are just alone. At that time, I will tell them to die without a place to bury them."

Speaking of later, Desima had already gritted his teeth. After all, the hard battles these days have caused heavy losses to the Huhuns, which is something that everyone is willing to accept.

"Yes, now the enemy is trapped in the city by us, and there is no foreign aid. I think they can only surrender this time. Harry Qisheng, have you worked too hard these days? When you capture the city, you can choose a few beautiful women from the prisoners to relax and relax." Harry Podo, who has always been cautious, also seemed more optimistic.

"I hope so."

Harry Qisheng really couldn't think of anything wrong. Maybe he really wanted to find a few beautiful women to relax.

Just as the three of them were looking forward to the arrangement after breaking the city, a soldier who stumbled in broke their fantasy. "Report to General, it seems that there is a fire behind us!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
