The fierce offensive and defensive battle continues.
At this moment, Lou Yi and Yu Tai are like gamblers.
Every time they gambled that if they could send a few thousand more men forward, the Northern Army would not be able to hold on.
But every one of their attacks was blocked by the Northern Army.
They thought about giving up countless times, but they were unwilling to do so.
If they give up now, the sacrifices made by those who came before would almost be in vain.
Although the Northern Army also suffered casualties, it goes without saying that their casualties were definitely far lower than theirs.
"Your Highness, we can't keep fighting like this! If we continue, all our men will die!"
This time, it was not Yu Tai who persuaded Lou Yi, but Kucha, the general of Dayue Kingdom.
Lou Yi had long been designated as the heir to the Dayue Kingdom and enjoyed great prestige in the military.
...
...
In the past, Kucha always resolutely carried out Lou Yi's orders.
But this time, Kucha had to stand up against Lou Yi.
Their casualties are too heavy!
Now, the outside of this scattered city wall is filled with corpses.
Their men could even step on the corpses to rush up the not-so-high city walls and engage in close combat with the enemy.
But their numerous attacks were repelled by the enemy.
This is clearly sending the soldiers of Dayue Kingdom to their deaths!
Kucha was very worried that if they continued fighting like this, their soldiers would mutiny.
"Then what?"
Lou Yi looked at Kucha with a cold gaze and shouted angrily: "Tell me, how else should we fight? If we retreat now, the enemy will be able to clean up those piles of corpses immediately! Then, how will we climb up the enemy's wall?"
nonsense!
Does he want to fight like this?
Does he want to use human lives to fill the void?
But now, they have already invested so many troops.
Moreover, the enemy is also showing signs of fatigue!
What else can they do except continue to attack with high pressure?
If we withdraw our troops to rest at this time, all our previous efforts will be wasted!
If they retreat now, the enemy will laugh in their dreams!
Faced with Lou Yi's questioning, Kucha was speechless.
He knew that what Lou Yi said made sense.
But the problem is that their casualties are too heavy!
From dawn yesterday till now, their attack has hardly stopped for a moment.
They have already deployed 30,000 troops in total.
More than half of these thirty thousand people have been injured!
Kucha didn't know how to refute, so he could only stand aside and breathe heavily, as if he was making a silent protest to Lou Yi.
"Kucha, listen to me!"
Lou Yi clenched his fists tightly, and growled with a sullen face: "We are holding on now, and the enemy is holding on too! Don't you see that the enemy doesn't even have any arrows left! Now, whoever lets go first will lose!"
He knew their casualties were heavy.
But the enemy's casualties must have been heavy.
Even if their teeth bleed, they have to hold on now!
This is a battlefield of life and death, there is no room for mercy!
Just when Lou Yi was scolding Kucha, the guard came to report that Yu Tai had arrived.
Lou Yi glared at Kucha coldly and asked his personal soldiers to bring Yu Tai over.
"Your Highness, stop the attack!"
As soon as Yu Tai arrived, he stated his purpose directly, "My troops can no longer bear it. Many soldiers in the camp are complaining. If the fighting continues like this, my soldiers will mutiny!"
"General Yu, do you think we can stop now?"
Lou Yi looked at Yu Tai angrily, "We have already suffered such a huge loss. If we don't defeat the Northern Army, we will be destroyed soon! The generals under your command don't understand, don't you understand it?"
"I know!" Yu Tai was also furious, "But if we don't stop the attack and rest, none of us can afford the consequences of mutiny!"
Yu Tai regretted it.
If he had known that the battle would end up like this, he should not have insisted on continuing the attack.
If they had not invested so many troops and had not suffered so many casualties, they would not be so unwilling to temporarily suspend the fighting as they are now.
Before this, they also wanted to use catapults to attract the enemy's repeated attacks, gradually devour the enemy's strength, and force the unwilling enemy to continue to invest strength.
But they didn't expect that in the end, they would become deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves.
Listening to Yu Tai's words, Lou Yi couldn't help but feel angry.
Mutiny!
Threatening him with mutiny at every turn?
Isn't he just trying to tell me that if one is alone, the other will be separated?
Although Lou Yi was furious, he had to be wary of this.
They have all suffered heavy losses now. If something happens to Qiuchi, Dayue Kingdom will definitely not be in a good situation either.
Just when Lou Yi was about to curse his mother in anger, a soldier came running over in a hurry, "Your Highness, the Guifang sent someone to deliver an urgent report!"
Urgent news from Guifang?
Lou Yi had a bad feeling in his heart and said quickly: "Quick, bring the person up!"
Soon, the Guifang messenger was brought in.
After a simple salute, the messenger quickly delivered the handwritten letter from the Guifang commander.
Lou Yi opened the envelope, and Yu Tai hurried over.
Looking at the contents of the letter, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
The plan failed. The 40,000 Guifang troops tried to launch a surprise attack on Beihuan but were instead ambushed by Beihuan.
An army of 40,000 suffered heavy losses!
"Waste! All of you are waste!"
Lou Yi was furious and completely ignored the fact that the Guifang messenger was still present, and he cursed angrily.
He knew that Bei Huan was unreliable.
That’s why it was suggested that Guifang pretend to cooperate with Beihuan, but actually devour Beihuan’s last strength.
As a result, the 40,000-strong Guifang army was defeated by the 20,000-strong Beihuan army.
Now, the main force of Guifang is facing the situation of being attacked from both sides by Beihuan and Beifu Army!
The situation in Beihuan is different from here.
Beihuan has no strategic location to defend at all!
Moreover, he reminded me again and again!
Just like that, the 40,000 people were ambushed by the 20,000 people!
This is a bullshit war!
After such a fight, they still have the nerve to ask them to quickly defeat the enemy forces on the Sulu River so as to form a pincer attack on the other part of the Northern Palace Army?
Who gave him the face?
Lou Yi was so furious that he almost drew his sword and killed someone.
Yu Tai was also very angry.
They had previously thought that the Guifang army would quickly defeat another part of the enemy army so as to form a pincer attack on the enemy forces on the Sole River!
As a result, now the situation is reversed?
Lou Yi tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and looked at Yu Tai with a cold face, "General Yu, do you still want to retreat now?"
Still withdrawing?
Yu Tai's old face was red with ashes, and he was complaining in his heart.
How can we withdraw now?
If they don't defeat this group of enemy troops as soon as possible, in case the Guifang are defeated by another part of the Northern Palace Army and the Northern Huan Army, and then turn back to support the enemy troops in front of them, they will never be able to defeat the enemy troops in front of them!
Once the enemy has gained a foothold, you can gradually erode their strength.
By then, Qiuchi, Dayue Kingdom and Guifang will all face the danger of national destruction.
"Keep attacking!"
Yu Tai sighed helplessly and gritted his teeth, "Attack from the front as well!"
…
In the afternoon, Qiuchi and Dayue Kingdom each sent out 3,000 troops to attack the front line of defense of the Northern Palace Army.
"Are they crazy?"
Miaoyin looked at the two countries and two armies attacking head-on in disbelief, and could hardly believe her eyes.
Now, the bodies were piled up like mountains on both wings.
The enemy troops on both wings can rush to the city wall by stepping on corpses, but they still want to attack from the front?
The front line of defense is much more difficult to attack than the lines of defense on the wings.
"They are not crazy! This is a fight to the death."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "Our soldiers are exhausted now. Every additional place we defend will bring us more pressure! If we can't hold on, our defense line will be breached by them!"
Yun Zheng said this and immediately ordered his personal guards to support the front line of defense.
He sent out all seven hundred guards.
"Why don't you let the Bloody Army go into battle?"
Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng in surprise.
At this time, he still wants to hide the Blood-Clothed Army?
"It's not the right time yet!"
Yun Zheng shook his head.
Isn't it the right time now?
Miaoyin was secretly surprised.
She really didn't know how long Yun Zheng planned to hide the Blood-Clothed Army.
Yun Zheng said nothing, but just frowned secretly.
It is not known whether the enemy knew that Jia Yao led his troops to defeat the 40,000-strong Guifang army.
Except for the initial attack, the enemy cavalry had not made any major moves.
The enemy's cavalry is always a threat!
We have to find a way to get the enemy cavalry moving!
