Pinch your waist: Your husband has a beauty mark

Chapter 1713 This is a last-ditch battle

That should be the most difficult month in Gu Yunxi's life.

For a whole month, everyone in the army did only one thing - defend the city!

At the beginning, they were defending Qingzhi Mountain, but later, Qingzhi Mountain could no longer be defended, and the soldiers were forced to return to Dianzhou City.

For the next ten days, the soldiers stayed at the city gate.

After a month, not only were the coaches exhausted, but the soldiers were also discouraged.

At the end of this battle, everyone was almost in despair.

"The food in the army is not enough to sustain the soldiers for ten days."

"The people were panicking and most of them fled from the northwest gate, but were forced back by the fighting in Wucheng. Now everyone is trapped in Dianzhou and people are in a state of panic. If this continues, the people will probably leave the city and surrender before the army of Prince Zheng breaks through our city gates."

"But the army of King Zheng has also suffered heavy casualties. They started with 150,000 soldiers, but now, some are dead, some are injured, and some have fled. As of today, there are less than 80,000 soldiers left."

"Although we only have less than 30,000 soldiers left, they are outside the city while we are inside. They are running out of food and their situation is worse than ours. Many soldiers have even deserted the team, and King Zheng may not be able to hold on."

"Yes, they are in a tougher situation than us. They may not be able to hold on. As long as we hold on and wait for reinforcements to arrive, we will win."

Everyone is waiting, waiting for reinforcements that may or may not exist.

This was a tough battle. Even the most advantageous Qingzhi Mountain had been captured. When the enemy was at the gates of the city, no matter how powerful Gu Yunxi was, all the strategies and tactics were no longer important.

What is important is the military strength.

That day, Gu Yunxi stood on the city wall, looking at the soldiers guarding the city gate, and shouted: "Our Prince Li has led a large army to attack the Imperial City. Jun Qizheng is outside Dianzhou City, and the Imperial City army is leaderless. His Royal Highness Prince Li will surely be able to take down the Imperial City soon."

"By then, everyone will know that the world has changed hands, and the armies of the surrounding cities will also take the initiative to surrender to Emperor Xuanbei. Our reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as everyone grits their teeth and holds on, this battle will be over! We will soon usher in victory! We will definitely be able to defend Dianzhou and we will definitely win!"

The soldiers immediately shouted: "Defend Dianzhou! Defend Dianzhou!"

But that evening, King Zheng's army came to attack the city again.

This time, 80,000 troops came together, clearly fighting a do-or-die battle.

Gu Yunxi put on armor and went to the city wall to fight in person.

The army of 80,000 men came with great force, without any tricks or strategies, they just attacked with their lives at stake.

The catapults carried huge stones and smashed into the city walls and the towers with a loud bang.

A large number of soldiers were killed by arrows on the city wall, and batches of archers fell from the city walls.

The ladders were overturned, but then erected again. The enemy troops that were surging up were beaten back, and more were still coming up.

The huge battering ram slammed heavily into the city gate every time. The huge city gate, which seemed unbreakable, now looked shaky.

"Your Highness, Prince Zheng is determined to attack the city this time. I'm afraid it's because we received news today that Prince Li's army has already captured the imperial city. They have no way to retreat!"

When Yan Shisan came to Gu Yunxi, his body and face were covered in blood.

She's hurt!

But at this moment, no one would care about a small arrow wound.

Yan Shisan said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, if you continue like this, the city gate will be undefendable!"
