Chapter 100 Chapter 7 Casualties

"The soldiers of Yancheng defended in a measured and orderly manner. This general who defended the city is quite capable. Read"

Kutu frowned as he looked at the top of the city.

After launching the attack, the defenders of Yancheng responded promptly every time and fought with ease.

He didn't know how many casualties he had caused to the soldiers of King Yan just now.

However, in such a short time, they had already suffered hundreds of casualties.

"It is said that the general was called Chang Wei. He was a general in the imperial army. He had made great contributions in the previous battles with Xiliang. However, he was arrogant and upright, and was not liked by the generals. He was sent to Yan County to protect King Yan." Mutuo said.

Before the autumn hunt, he did some research.

He knew something about Chang Wei.

Kutu nodded. Tuoba Lie had told him this information.

"This King Yan is lucky to have such a capable general under his command, but we Beidi people are never afraid of fighting with the famous generals of Dasong." Kutu smiled lightly.

In the battle of Ningjindusi, Dasong had many famous generals, but they were still defeated by them.

Today, many people have been convicted of this battle and imprisoned by the emperor of Dasong.

While the two were talking, they saw the ladder team arrived at the foot of the city, and the long ladder was erected.

Mutuo laughed, "As long as our Beidi warriors climb the city wall, the King of Yan will be defeated."

Kutu nodded.

Beidi soldiers grew up drinking mare's milk and eating beef and mutton, and their bodies are much stronger than Dasong soldiers.

In all previous battles, the same number of Beidi soldiers can defeat Dasong soldiers.

Moreover, the cold and harsh environment of the grassland also makes Beidi soldiers more tolerant of hardships.

This is also the reason why they can often win.

So in the eyes of the Beidi people, Dasong soldiers are like weak women.

They also like to fight directly with Dasong soldiers.

Because often in this way, Dasong soldiers will collapse faster.

They are looking forward to Beidi soldiers climbing the city wall and turning the situation on the battlefield.

At this time, the Dasong soldiers on the wall picked up stones and threw them down.

There were also soldiers holding porcelain jars and pouring hot oil down.

Instantly, the Beidi soldiers who climbed up the ladder screamed.

The soldiers fell from the ladder one by one.

Kutu and Mutuo looked ugly again.

However, they also expected that the defenders would definitely use these tricks.

"Let the archers and musketeers cover the ladder." Kutu said.

When the siege began, the Beidi archers shot arrows at the wall, and the two sides fired arrows back and forth.

After his order was passed down, the arrows at the ladder suddenly became dense.

One by one, the stone bullets also fell roughly to that position.

On the wall.

The soldiers who carried stones and hot oil immediately became difficult to move.

Their armor was good at resisting arrows, but the stone bullets that fell on their heads were not so easy to bear.

Immediately, a soldier was injured and lay down, and blood flowed out of his helmet.

"Carry the wounded down and take care of them." Zhao Xu ordered.

He looked outside the city, and Beidi soldiers kept coming to continue trying to capture the city wall.

He knew that such a stalemate would probably last for a long time.

War is sometimes a competition of consumption and mutual will.

After all, surprise attack is a trick, but it cannot replace the bloody battle on the front battlefield.

The sun rose from the eastern horizon to the treetops, and then from the treetops to the middle of the sky.

And then fell from the middle of the sky to the western horizon.

As dusk gradually enveloped the earth, the horn sounded in the Beidi camp.

The Beidi people finally withdrew to the camp with ladders.

At this time, the yellow earth outside the city was full of Beidi corpses.

The bright red blood stained the land.

In the dim sky, crows made a "cackle" sound, and the smell of blood here attracted them.

"Collect arrows and replenish the city defense supplies." Chang Wei's hoarse voice sounded.

He came to Zhao Xu from the other end of the city wall.

"Your Highness, go back and rest. I will just stay here tonight." Although Chang Wei was tired, his face was filled with excitement that could not be concealed.

They did not suffer any loss in the daytime battle.

"How are our casualties?" Zhao Xu asked.

Today he basically stayed on the city wall, commanding the battle with Chang Wei.

But he was not very clear about the situation of other city gates.

"The generals have reported that 37 soldiers were killed by stone bullets, 145 soldiers were seriously injured, and 383 soldiers were slightly injured." Chang Wei said.

Then he looked down at the city, "I roughly counted, and at least 2,000 Beidi people died."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly when he heard this.

Chang Wei had reason to be excited. This war loss ratio was incredible in all the previous battles between Dasong and Beidi.

But he still felt sorry for his soldiers.

But he also understood that there would be sacrifices in war.

A country or a nation, if there are no people who dare to sacrifice, will eventually become a plaything of the enemy.

Come to this world.

He is a Dasong, and the people of this country are his comrades.

He does not want to see them become inferior people in the future, with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses under the iron hoofs of foreign races.

Beidi Camp.

Mutuo remained silent after presenting the number of casualties to Kutu.

"Two thousand three hundred and seventy-two." Kutu felt his heart bleeding.

"How are the casualties of Dasong soldiers?" he asked anxiously.

"They are in the city and cannot be detected, but since we have lost so many people, they must have a lot too. However, we attack and they defend, so there may be fewer casualties." Mutuo said.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "After fighting all day today, I think the armor of the soldiers in Yancheng may be as strong as those servants said."

Kutu's brows were twisted into a "川" shape.

The servants who escaped from Qingfengkou that day said that the armor of the soldiers in Dasong was hard and difficult to attack, which was extremely exaggerated.

He thought it was just an excuse for their failure.

After Mutuo said this, plus his observation, he actually began to believe it a little.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the imperial guards of Dasong did not have such armor.

How did the King of Yan get it?

But no matter what, Yancheng was even more attractive to him.

The King of Yan's wealth, the King of Yan's fine wine, the beauties in Yancheng, and now the King of Yan's armor-making skills.

"Continue the siege tomorrow." Kutu said, he couldn't wait to enter the city.

"I'm afraid this will only increase casualties." Mutuo felt it necessary to persuade Kutu.

After arriving in Yancheng, Kutu became a little weird.

In the past, after suffering such a loss, he would not continue.

Seeing Mutuo's worried expression, Kutu felt it necessary to tell him his real purpose.

So he told him about Tuoba Lie and the Zhang family's plan.

"I see." Mutuo suddenly realized.

He was also wondering why he had to prepare 5,000 people just to conserve his strength.

"Hahaha, it seems that Yancheng can't escape the king's palm." Mutuo was in a good mood.

So many Beidi soldiers were killed and injured, which made him hate them.

If he could enter the city this time, he would kill all the Yanwang soldiers without leaving a single piece of armor.
