The defenders at the top of the city launched a battle to defend the city. In addition to the archers, they also used some rolling wood, gravel, and hot soup to smash it down and sprinkle it, causing some damage to the Wu Yue soldiers under the city.

Many Wu Yue soldiers climbed halfway through, were hit by rolling wood and stones, and fell to the top of the city, like ripe grapes, planted on the ground, either dead or injured.

A cruel battlefield is taking place, with shouts of killing and many screams everywhere.

At this time, the defenders on the top of the city were constantly being shot, or they fell down, causing serious injuries, or they were shot backwards, leaving the combat position for the substitutes behind.

"kill!"

The Wu Yue soldiers shouted and kept rushing to the city. From a distance, the figures were like ants climbing the walls, covering the city heads, while the Tang army on the city walls stubbornly resisted, and through the advantage of geographical advantages, they were condescending to destroy the Wu Yue soldiers' ladders, forcing these climbing soldiers to give up halfway, be injured or killed.

The soldiers of both sides are trying their best. Their positions are different. Although they belong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, their countries are different, so their positions are different.

The battle of life and death here is either you die or I live.

Originally they were born from the same root, so why not worry about each other?

Killing people in war is sometimes glory, but isn’t it a kind of indifference to the life and death of the soldiers at the bottom for political interests by the superiors.

Every battle requires the lives of countless people to fill it. There may be only a few transactions in history books, but tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides are killed by them, and they have never used them.

At this time, Peng Jingjing, Han Yunpeng, Jing Hong, Jing Yun and others also came to the top of the city and stood behind Su Chen. As his Qing army's personal guards, the military officers of the Qing army, through the window spirit, the few people also saw the fierce battle under the city outside, and they all showed some surprise.

Especially Han Yunpeng, when he saw this scene for the first time, his face changed slightly, and even his body was trembling. It was too cruel and too real, and it was not as simple as the one written in the story book. The war happened in front of him, just under the city wall.

As a playboy, Han Yunpeng, the son of the Minister of the Assistant, was only sixteen years old. He had never seen such a scene and couldn't help but feel a little trembling.

But Peng Jingjing was a little used to it, because in addition to participating in several battles in her territory, she also led her troops to fight in the Danshui victory two days ago. So when she saw this scene, she was a little expectant, thinking about when she could lead her troops to fight without any fear.

Jing Hong and his son were also covered in armor at this time. Since following Su Chen, the father and son have been practicing martial arts and improving. They were originally the generals who had been hiding for three generations. Now, after following Su Chen, they have transitioned from the generals to the head of the guards. Jing Hong felt that it was very valuable and he was quite open about war affairs, so there was absolutely no problem letting him go to the battlefield.

Jing Yun glanced at Han Yunpeng and said, "Young Master Han, your legs are shaking."

Han Yunpeng pretended to be strange and said, "Is there any? Are my legs shaking?

Jing Yun nodded and confirmed seriously: "There is trembling. You see, it is still trembling. If you don't believe it, you can let Sister Jing see it."

Han Yunpeng disagreed and said, "Maybe I'm so excited, yes, so excited. The first time I faced this kind of scene, I think it's time for me to display my personal talents and abilities. When I think about how to go on battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, I feel a little excited, it doesn't matter!"

Although he said this, Han Yunpeng was thinking: Let’s slow down for the time being, and do the entry-level military tasks first, such as counting accounts, doing various miscellaneous military affairs, etc. Han Yunpeng can do it with ease.

He planned to follow Su Chen and he would go on the battle when he would go on the battle. Otherwise, it would be unsafe. Only when Su Chen was fighting in battle, he would fight again.

Originally, Han Yunpeng was involved in the military, but most of the time he thought it was fun, passionate and had something to do.

With their family's power and money, there is no need to charge into battle like ordinary soldiers and sergeant commanders, establish an army and obtain titles. Han Yunpeng didn't need these at all. He thought it was easy to go to the battlefield, as written in the story book, the battlefield was not so terrible.

But now I realize that it is too bloody and too cruel. Everyone's life is so fragile, as if they are not the same kind of people, but monsters, and they are living lives!

Even if Wu Yue soldiers were shot through their heads and hearts by arrows, they began to fall under the city walls, and even hit their bodies and heads by rolling woods and flowing stones. Blood splattered, the remaining limbs flew around, and the heads rolled, like a cruel Shura field, which was infuriating.

At this moment, Lu Jiang saw the situation stalemate and the defenders on the top of the city were also injured, so he ordered: "Replace a wave of defenders to replace them, and carry all the wounded to treat them. Since the Wu Yue soldiers are going to fight, we will waste our time with him. Anyway, we have the advantage of geographical advantages. As long as we do not relax our vigilance and stick to it, the Wu Yue soldiers will definitely retreat."

The governor Wang Yuechao said: "There are only 40,000 or 50,000 enemy soldiers outside the city, but the defenders in our city also have this number. I don't know where the Wu Yue soldiers got the confidence. How dare you despise our Tang army so much?"

General Lu Jiang smiled and said, "The Wu Yue soldiers thought we were the guards of Changzhou and were vulnerable and would be defeated by them at will. Today, when I met me, Lu Jiang, who was guarding Runzhou, they would not want to capture this city. Not to mention this day, even a month or a year, I would also keep Runzhou tightly so that the Wu Yue soldiers could not succeed."

Su Chen said, "Well, perseverance is a way. If we can destroy the food channels of the Wu Yue soldiers or other life gates and turn passive into activeness, it can also reduce our pressure and accelerate the failure of the enemy."

General Lu Jiang nodded: "Su Junjian, what he said makes sense. At present, we do not know the weaknesses of the Wu Yue soldiers' granaries and military forces, and it is difficult to take action. After a few days of fighting, the scouts and You Xiao sent by our army can find out the lifeline of the Wu Yue soldiers and then make targeted calculations."

………

At this time, the city's offensive and defensive battle was in a stalemate. General Song Chengli continued to invest his troops and launched an attack on the city gate.

Several Du Yuhou led their troops to attack the city wall. After several chariots approached the city wall, they kept releasing long boards and landed on the city wall. Some Wu Yue soldiers rushed out from the chariots and rushed towards the top of the city.

"Kill!" These Wu Yue soldiers held shields and Mo Dao, and ran over and jumped to the top of the city through the plywood of the car, and fought close to the Tang army.

As soon as the battle was over, it was almost not about using martial arts skills, but about rushing hard to break open a space and give the soldiers following behind a combat area before they began to really fight together with their weapons.

Puff puff puff... The blade, spear, and sword lights surge together, slashing each other.

In a few breaths, there were almost a dozen people, dozens of people killed or were killed. Blood columns splashed on the other party's face, armor, and on the ground. It was simply a killing field.

This is a tough battle. The final outcome only depends on the strength of the troops on both sides and the morale level. The soldiers fight for the momentum. Whoever shows weakness first will die first.

The bloody smelled the murderous intent in the soldiers' hearts, and they killed people like a demon, and moved forward bravely.

However, the number of Wu Yue soldiers rushing to the city was too small. Even though dozens of people jumped onto the city or climbed onto the city through ladders, they were soon flooded by the Tang army, and their bodies were taken down and dropped off the city wall.

Even so, the Wu and Yue soldiers continued to fight, whether they were climbing the ladder or passing through the chariots, the soldiers who were killing each other were fighting to the death.

At the city gate, Wu Yue soldiers were pushing the rushing car and hitting the city gate.

Inside the city gate, the Tang army leaned against the stone slabs, wooden bolts, etc. layer by layer, firmly strengthened the city gate and prevented the Wu and Yue soldiers from succeeding.

In an instant, there were shouting and rushing everywhere under the city gate and at the city gate, and death continued to increase.

But in comparison, the number of Wu Yue soldiers was injured is increasing. Because of the advantage of the city, the Tang army's casualties rate was only one-quarter of that of Wu Yue soldiers.

This battle was fought from noon until dusk, but it did not take any advantage, and even suffered heavy casualties.

Song Chengli's face was gloomy and his eyes were like a torch. He stared at Runzhou Chengqiang, and he had no choice but to issue an order to withdraw troops.

Jin Luo withdrew his troops. After the sound of the gong, the vanguard general Bao Zhi realized that today's siege battle had not reached its goal. The promise he said in front of the coach was not fulfilled. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but he had no choice but to order the withdrawal of his troops.

When the Wu Yue soldiers in front heard the sound of golden gongs and the order to withdraw the troops, they felt like they were relieved. Some even threw away some of the equipment in their hands and began to retreat, fearing that they would not shoot here if they could not retreat.

"The Wu Yue soldiers retreated, and we defeated the Wu Yue people."

The Tang army on the top of the city smiled and cheered when they saw the Wu Yue soldiers retreating like a tide.

I guarded the city today and found a breath of heat. After all, there were dense corpses under the city, with thousands of them, most of which were the corpses of the enemy.

Seeing that the Wu Yue soldiers retreated, General Lu Jiang, Governor Wang Yuechao and others on the city tower were relieved. Sure enough, the Wu Yue soldiers wanted to take Runzhou in one go, but the current morale of the Tang army was still there and was not scared by the Wu Yue soldiers' sharpness and sharpness, so they were repelled.

General Lu Jiang said: "Send people to clean up the bodies, treat the wounded, and count the number of people to see how many casualties our army has suffered. As for the enemy's corpses, they will be cleared out and given the Wu Yue soldiers a deadline to collect the corpses. The dead are the most serious, and they are not all innocent soldiers. After they die in the battlefield, they should be respected."
