As it turned out, Yun Zheng had underestimated the determination of Lou Yi and Yu Tai after all.
After daybreak, Qiuchi and Dayue continued their fierce attacks.
Several of their gaps were breached by the enemy several times, and even the city walls were captured by the enemy, but they organized their men and recaptured them.
Now the corpses that were originally piled up in the gap have been cleared away, but more corpses are piled up outside their outer city wall.
Now, only the 700 guards that Yun Zheng left with him had arrows.
All the arrows of the other units were used up.
Although they could still collect some arrows shot from the enemy, the amount collected was far less than what they consumed.
The archers on the city wall have now taken up their weapons and are fighting with the enemy troops who are rushing up on the piles of corpses under the city wall.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Whether it was the soldiers from Dagan, Qiuchi or Dayue, they were all completely blood-thirsty.
...
...
In the distance, the enemy's reinforcements began to arrive.
It looks like the attack will continue.
Yun Zheng put down the clairvoyance in his hand and rubbed his swollen and aching eyes.
"madman!"
"How can you fight like this?"
"This is totally a disregard for human life!"
Yun Zheng cursed and shook his head to keep himself awake.
He despised the enemy's method of attack.
But he had to admit that the enemy's attack method was indeed effective.
Even the cavalry under Deng Bao and Hu Yucheng had been rotated with the defenders.
Those Beimotu people who originally came only to help build the city were also ordered by Yun Zheng to put on the armor of their injured personnel and go to help guard the defense line.
Now, only the 700 guards and Blood-Clothed Army around him have not yet joined the battle.
If the fighting continues like this, the 700 guards around him will also have to join the battle.
"Go and have a rest first!"
Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng, whose eyes were red and swollen, with heartache.
All in all, Yun Zheng had barely slept for two days and two nights.
The enemy is going to continue their fierce attack and no one knows when the attack will end. She is worried that Yun Zheng can't hold on.
"No, I can't sleep even if you ask me to sleep now."
Yun Zheng waved his hands, "I didn't close my eyes. I don't believe the enemy commander can close his eyes! If they want to fight, we will fight them to the end!"
Miaoyin opened her mouth slightly and wanted to persuade him, but after hesitating for a moment, she swallowed the words back.
Yun Zheng rubbed his eyes, picked up the clairvoyance again to observe, but he was silently calculating in his mind.
From dawn yesterday to now, the number of troops deployed by Qiuchi and Dayue Kingdom has reached 50,000 to 60,000.
Almost half of their troops were involved and suffered heavy casualties.
At present, the Northern Army, as the defending side, definitely still has the advantage.
But the Northern Army was too tired.
Now I am completely holding on with one breath.
Once the enemy stops attacking, many people will probably fall asleep.
That is when they will be in the most danger.
He was thinking whether he should send someone to message Qu Zhi and order him to lead his troops to support him.
However, thinking about the situation of Yu Shizhong and others, he gave up the idea.
They were under a lot of pressure, and Yu Shizhong was also under a lot of pressure.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Just as Yun Zheng was thinking secretly, Tong Gang hurriedly came with a Beihuan cavalryman, "Your Highness, Princess Jiayao sent someone to deliver a message..."
"Are you the one sent by Jiayao?"
Yun Zheng instantly became alert and stared at the Beihuan cavalry and asked.
"yes!"
The Beihuan cavalryman said this, bowing and handing over a sealed letter.
Yun Zheng quickly opened the letter.
To be precise, this is a war report.
Four days ago, Jia Yao led his troops to launch a surprise attack on the Guifang army of 40,000. Beihuan suffered nearly 6,000 casualties, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and captured 13,000. He is currently leading his troops to pursue the enemy's fleeing soldiers...
However, there was no report on the captured items in the battle report.
As if they were afraid that he would covet their captured spoils.
Well, it’s Jiayao’s handwriting.
It also looks like Jiayao’s style!
Looking at the contents of the letter, Yun Zheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If the news is true, the pressure on Yu Shizhong and his team will be much less.
Yun Zheng thought for a moment, then asked the Beihuan cavalry, "Did Princess Jiayao use the white falcon to pass on a message to me?"
"have!"
The Beihuan cavalry nodded, "I and Bai Falcon set out almost at the same time."
Listening to this man's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be speechless.
If what this person said was true, it could only mean that the white falcon had lost the message.
Damn it!
This was only the second time we used the White Falcon to deliver a message, and already the message was lost?
This white falcon is too unreliable!
Yun Zheng secretly complained in his heart and immediately asked Tong Gang to bring paper and pen.
Soon, Yun Zheng finished writing a letter, and then continued to write a short letter in code.
After asking the Beihuan cavalryman about the details of the battle between Jiayao and Guifang, Yun Zheng let the Beihuan cavalryman who delivered the message go down to rest, and then ordered Tong Gang: "Immediately send a message to Qu Zhi and send someone to verify the news! In addition, send someone to deliver these two letters to Jiayao!"
The actual contents of the two letters are actually similar.
It's just that one letter is more detailed and the other is shorter.
One letter was delivered by a messenger, the other by a white falcon.
After Tong Gang took the order and left, Miaoyin immediately asked expectantly, "If the news is true, can we transfer Qu Zhi's troops here?"
"It depends on the situation."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "The casualties of Beihuan are not small. Let's see how many people Jiayao can recruit later!"
Miaoyin thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "Is it possible that Jiayao deliberately reported an inflated number of casualties?"
"If the news is true, she shouldn't do this."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "She knows in her heart that if she plays tricks on me now, I will make things difficult for her after the war is over."
Jiayao is still thinking about those sweet potatoes!
Jiayao is playing tricks now and doesn't want to put in extra effort. When he asks for the potatoes, don't blame yourself for breaking your promise.
"That's right!"
Miaoyin smiled, "Jiayao is quite powerful! She defeated the 40,000 Guifang with only 20,000 people. It seems that she just can't beat you, but she is good at beating the Guifang."
“She’s already amazing.”
Yun Zheng smiled to himself, "She was under too much pressure before, and she was so worried that she couldn't perform to her full potential! If she were to gain confidence, I wonder if she would show her teeth to me in the future..."
Yun Zheng has always recognized Jia Yao's abilities.
Even though he beat Jia Yao into surrender, he still recognized Jia Yao's ability.
If Jia Yao was smart enough, even if he didn't send the letter to Jia Yao, Jia Yao would probably recruit warriors again and cooperate with Yu Shizhong and others to attack the main force of Gui Fang and strive to seize more spoils.
"Both of you are not easy to deal with."
Miaoyin teased, and then looked up at the approaching enemy reinforcements, "If Qiuchi and Dayue knew the situation on the Guifang side, they probably wouldn't attack so recklessly, right?"
“That’s about right!”
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "However, their attack may be even more fierce."
"What do you mean?" Miaoyin was puzzled.
"They can't let the ghost side lose!"
Yun Zheng smiled, "If the Guifang are defeated, and we unite our forces, their situation will become even more difficult! The best way is to break our defense line at all costs, and then attack Yu Shizhong and his men together with the Guifang! In this way, we will all suffer heavy losses, and we can regain the balance between us..."
Of course, that's what I said.
It is still unknown whether Qiuchi and Dayue are willing to sacrifice their own soldiers' lives to help Guifang...
