Chapter 69: One and a Half Hours Left
I saw a dense crowd of people constantly pouring up on the city wall.

Not only were the attackers shocked, but even Zhuge Liang was stunned.

The appearance of more than 400 civilians is still intimidating in terms of numbers. Although their combat effectiveness is minimal, they can lift stones to smash the enemy troops who are climbing the city wall!
This gave other soldiers more time to deal with the enemy troops that had already climbed into the city.

Otherwise, if the number of soldiers is seriously insufficient, we will end up losing sight of the big picture.

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, and continued to swing his spear to kill the enemy troops on the city, and did not forget to shout: “Quick battle and quick decision! Cover the villagers!”

puff puff!

The long spear was like a swimming dragon. In Zhuge Liang’s eyes, those small fry on the city were not worth mentioning at all. These infantrymen were not well equipped and did not even have basic rattan armor, making them easier to kill!

Almost all the soldiers on Zhuge Liang’s side were equipped with rattan armor, so the number of casualties was not too high. Even so, about fifty people had died.

“General, let me help you!”

Guo Tu rushed to Zhuge Liang and shouted with red eyes.

Bang!
Zhuge Liang kicked Guo Tu away and said to Wang Dadao who was fighting next to him: “Escort the gentleman back!”

Guo Tu: “?”

Zhuge Liang: “I said, nothing will happen to you as long as I am here. You are our great dream sea-calming magic needle. You are much more precious than others. Go back and hide, don’t cause any more trouble.”

Guo Tu’s face turned red with shame, and he was protected by Wang Da as he left the city wall. At the same time, he felt more and more moved.

General…you have to stay alive and get through this.

……

“General Xu Rong…would you like to take a break first?”

Zu Mao spoke. Now that they had been attacking the city for nearly half an hour, their side had lost nearly a hundred people. With the addition of the other side’s civilians, it would be very difficult to climb the city again.

Moreover, our soldiers are now exhausted. If we continue to attack, the consequences will be disastrous!
Xu Rong looked at the people on the city wall, thoughtful.

This Dameng Dynasty is truly not simple. The people are so loyal and united that the outcome of this war seems unpredictable.

Xu Rong admired Damengchao very much, but they were in different camps, so the two sides were destined to fight to the end.

And the ninth-rate general on the city wall is also very fierce. He has killed almost twenty or thirty people in such a short period of time. He is truly a fierce general!
“No rest!”

“We must defeat the opponent in one fell swoop!”

The player Xiao Wu spoke up immediately. As it got darker, once it was past midnight, the other side would be able to continue recruiting NPCs, and their military strength would increase. Although they could also recruit NPCs, they had to go back to the territory to upgrade the barracks.

They have a natural disadvantage when fighting in a foreign land, but now they have the advantage in terms of military strength. If they fail to capture the city today, they will be even more difficult to deal with tomorrow once they recruit new troops!

Xu Rong pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Wu, “My lord, our soldiers have not been able to capture the enemy city for almost an hour, and their morale has begun to decline. If we continue to attack, more soldiers will be sacrificed in vain.”

“Let them rest for a while, regroup and attack again!”

The player Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and said, “Fight! Keep fighting! Don’t stop!”

Xu Rong had no choice but to order his soldiers to continue attacking the city.

More and more civilians were killed in the city of Daming, and the enemy began to send a second wave of troops to attack the city.

The archers in the arrow tower kept firing arrows to stop the enemy’s advance.

Xu Rong also ordered the archers in the rear to shoot at the city wall, which might accidentally injure his own soldiers, but in order to suppress the number of the enemy defenders, he could no longer care about that. “Sword and shield soldiers!”

Zhuge Liang shouted loudly. Now his entire black armor had been stained red by the blood of the enemy. His exposed face was also red, looking extremely terrifying and hideous!
“Hold the shield in your hands, sword and shield! Protect the people and block the rain of arrows for me!”

Not only the soldiers of Daming Town were blood-thirsty, but the common people were too. They lifted up stones and smashed them down desperately.

Our morale is getting stronger and stronger, while the enemy’s morale is getting weaker and weaker.

Xu Rong watched this scene anxiously, gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Wu: “My Lord! We can’t fight anymore, we need to rest! Our soldiers are sacrificing in vain!”

Xu Rong’s assessment of the battlefield situation was very accurate. It was obvious that the enemy’s men and women were united, and even the civilians were not afraid of death. With such high morale, if he continued to attack, his side would only suffer more casualties.

No one expected that this city wall, which looked only two meters high, could play such a big role!

This is an extremely tough nut to crack!

The three players had no choice but to call off the battle, rest on the spot, and wait for the second wave of attack before midnight.

The three players looked at each other, and from the initial confidence they had, they now became a little worried.

Before setting out on the expedition, and even before arriving at Daming Town, they all thought that this would be a simple war that could be won in an hour at most.

But the current situation is far beyond their expectations!

“General Xu, can we capture him?” Xiao Wu looked at Xu Rong and asked tentatively.

Xu Rong said earnestly, “Yes… Lord, war is not important. We should learn from the lord of this territory. He can govern his people like this and win their hearts. Only then can we break out of Luoyang and even aim at the world.”

……

At night, in Daming Town, Zhuge Liang sat casually on the horse path, gasping for breath. He had consumed too much energy.

Guo Tu was counting the number of dead soldiers and civilians.

“General, 96 civilians died and 63 soldiers were killed.”

Zhuge Liang sighed slightly in his heart but didn’t show anything on his face. He was the commander of an army and he had to set an example for his soldiers and the people of Daming Town. He couldn’t show even a little bit of discouragement no matter what.

“How many hours are left?”

Guo Tu knew what Zhuge Liang was asking, and said, “My lord, you can continue recruiting soldiers in an hour and a half.”

“But… they will definitely launch a second wave of siege within this hour and a half. What comes next is the key.”

“In this hour and a half, their attack will definitely be more powerful, and they will definitely want to capture Dameng Town before midnight.”

“General, we only have a little over a hundred soldiers now. If the civilians continue to defend the city, they will just die. What should we do?”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, then said to Guo Tu: “Keep holding on, I’m going to release it.”

it?
Guo Tu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Zhuge Liang was about to show his trump card.

Chi python!

“You take charge of the situation here, I will go and call Chimang. It is crucial to hold out for the next hour and a half. This frustrating battle to defend the city will only last for an hour and a half at most!”

An unprecedented murderous aura appeared on Zhuge Liang’s face, indicating that he was now extremely angry!
