I hang up for retirement in the martial arts world

Chapter 35
Looking up from the bottom of the city.

The majestic and huge fortress is now full of potholes on the top of the wall, and there are traces of temporary repairs after the collapse everywhere.

The city tower has even collapsed, leaving a dilapidated wreckage, and it may not be possible to restore the old look in a few months.

It looks like it's crumbling, but it's standing still!
It's like an iron wall.
Brazenly blocked all the invading enemies who tried to step into the territory of Yuzhou!
Xizhi Mude looked at Lu Longsai in front of the battle alone, with a deep sense of unwillingness in his eyes.

But helpless.
The half-month onslaught regardless of the cost cost a lot of siege equipment and the lives of nearly [-] clansmen, but still failed to take down the fortified city in front of them.

No matter how unwilling he is, it is impossible for him to kill the enemy general with his eyes and fly into the sky with his flesh and blood.

What's more, the exaggerated casualties caused the leaders of the major tribes in the army to panic, dissatisfaction gradually grew in their hearts, and the morale of the entire army was even lower.
Must take a break!
Xizhi Mude knew that if the fight continued, it would inevitably cause mutiny in the army.

In desperation, he could only order the wrestlers to blow the trumpet to cease fighting, suspend the offensive, and take his troops back to the camp to rectify and rebuild their equipment.

Lu Longsai got a brief respite.

But the Hu people who attacked the city suffered heavy casualties, and the Yuzhou army defending the city was not much better.

They were already outnumbered, and those who survived to this day were all wounded, and everyone didn't know how many battles they fought!
Even a group of Jianghu masters and leading generals with deep internal strength in the army who came to help the battle could hardly hold on.

these people.
During the day, he blocked thunderbolt chariots and stone bullets, and at the same time, he had to fight to the death with the barbarian masters caught among ordinary soldiers.

In critical moments, you have to be distracted to rescue the city wall defense line that is on the verge of collapse.

Regardless of physical strength, internal strength, and mental strength, all are seriously depleted.

Even at night, you have to guard against the dead barbarian soldiers who attack you!
Everyone can't wait to become a grandson monkey immediately, and can change into a thousand and eight hundred clones with just one breath
Heavy casualties!
There were nearly a hundred generals in the army, but there were 41 remaining.

230 Seven Jianghu masters who helped out lost 52 people.

More than [-] soldiers were killed or injured. Not counting the logistics auxiliary soldiers, there are still [-] soldiers.

If the jar is not broken away from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle.

In this battle, even Duanmu Yuanjie was in danger many times, and it is only thanks to the soldiers around him who sacrificed their lives to protect him!
"Ten days! At most ten more days, the barbarians must retreat!"

Standing on the wreckage of a city tower, his left arm was wrapped in white gauze and fixed, and his right hand pointed at Hu Jun who was retreating outside the city.
Duanmu Yuanjie vowed to everyone around him.

"It's August and things are about to change!"

"The Hu people have been unable to attack for a long time. If you don't prepare your way back in advance, once it rains and snows, don't say that our army is behind the siege. Whether Xizhi Mude can return to his tribal king's tent alive depends on the mood of this old man. how!"

A well-known person in the rivers and lakes suggested angrily: "General, why don't you take advantage of the retreat of the barbarians and go out of the city to chase after them, so as to vent your anger for the people who died here in the past few days!"

This person's name is Han Miao, he is over forty years old, he has a strong personality, but he is also warm-hearted, and he is an individual traveler in the world.

A body of ice skill, sharp swordsmanship.When it is shot, it is like a cold wind blowing, and the piercing frost sword energy can turn human life into flesh and blood ice foam, known as Autumn Frost Sword.

In this battle with the barbarians, Han Miao summoned friends to come to help, who knows...
His best friend, Yunfeng Dao He Qinghuai, three days ago to rescue Han Miao who was under siege, was accidentally killed by a barbarian, and his death was tragic!
Many people from the rivers and lakes on the side opened their mouths to respond, only a small number of people remained silent.

None of the generals in the army spoke.

Knowing that my words of boosting morale were too much, inciting these people's desire for revenge
Duanmu Yuanjie hurriedly spoke to comfort him: "I know that little friend Han is angry. All the knights died for the country. I also feel guilty. I don't know how to repay it."

His seniority and military strength are unmatched by everyone present.As soon as he opened his mouth, the restlessness of the crowd was suppressed.

After waiting for everyone's emotions to ease, he changed the subject: "It's just that now is really not the time to fight."

He raised his hand to stop Han Miao who was about to speak.

He went on to explain: "Although the Hu people have suffered heavy casualties these days, our army has also suffered heavy losses. Although the enemy has retreated, the number is still twice that of our army. I see that the enemy generals are not incompetent, and they march forward and retreat with speed. "

"Going out of the city rashly, I'm afraid I won't hit you. Our army will have no way out, and Lulongsai will not be safe at that time!"

After hearing the words, all the Jianghu people felt that what Duanmu Yuanjie said was reasonable, so they stopped talking.

Only Han Miao and a few quacks who share the pain are still unwilling.

This is all risking their lives to help chivalrous men.

In order to avoid their chills, he comforted them again: "You don't need to be like this. Just wait for the weather to change, and the Hu people will definitely withdraw. At that time, it will be the time for our army to take advantage of the situation and leave the city!"

Then he said resolutely: "You knights, and the hatred of many soldiers under my command! I, Duanmu Yuanjie, will settle with the barbarians!!"

Han Miao and others no longer insisted, but looked at the figure of the barbarian in the distance, with mixed feelings in their hearts
In the city of Ninghe, thousands of miles away.

"The barbarians in Lulongsai have retreated."

"Changding is fighting again?!!"

Chen Yi said with a serious expression of surprise.

"Hedong is going to fight again? This... endless. Hu people are so belligerent?"

He was checking the latest secret letter in his study.

The eyes and ears of the Manjusri House were severely damaged when the barbarians entered the country, and months of hard work were turned into waste. However, in some important places, the people under him were still trying their best to maintain the situation, and the normal information exchange was cut off.

The news that the barbarians in Lulongsai have temporarily retreated is of course extremely important. But the news about Changding Pass in the east of the river is even more important to him!
This letter was brought by Chen Hua himself. Right now, the people are still waiting.

He only heard him explain Chen Yi's doubts:
"It's almost snowing outside the Great Wall. At that time, the horses can't run, and the arrows can't shoot far. Behind the barbarians in Lulongsai is the prairie. There is no danger to defend, and the logistics are weak. If you can't take the city, you will lose your way!"

"But Changding Pass is different. It is the adults above who want to take the initiative to fight. There is a large amount of food in the pass, and there is a strong city. If the Hu people stick to the city, they will wait for the spring of the next year. The threat is not small!"

Chen Yi said thoughtfully: "That's why the prefects of Zhoumu and other places in Hedong can't just sit back and watch this nail go down in Hedong, intending to wipe out this group of barbarians."

Chen Hua nodded and said: "Young Master's words are not bad. The Hu people are not good at defending the city. It would be the best if we can drive them out before the winter. If we can't come next year, I'm afraid there will be more people fighting! Life is going to be a little bit harder."

"Ugh!"

Chen Yi sighed, annoyed:
"Bitter, bitter, bitter, all beings are suffering."

"Killing here and there, they are all sinking in the sea of ​​suffering, and who will be liberated and see the other side?"
