The night gradually fell silent.

Gucheng, which had been fighting fiercely for most of the day, has also fallen asleep quietly. Just like Yunyang's defense strategy, the natural barrier of the Han River is the first line of defense, and the echeloned defenses outside the city are the second line of defense, and they are distributed at the north gate.

, the guards at the west gate and the east gate are the third line of defense. As for the inner city with its streets and alleys, it is the last line of defense, but its effect is not great.

Tonight, Gucheng's top military commander Zhang Tuizhi, the younger brother of Xiangyang's commander-in-chief Zhang Da, felt a strange sense of foreboding after the fierce battle.

This feeling made him insist on patrolling every door until midnight despite being physically and mentally exhausted.

Everything looks normal.

During the day, the Northern Army frantically carried out the largest attack in recent days. The Gucheng navy was defeated steadily by the Northern Army for the first time. Fortunately, he saved a hand. A row of catapults on the shore attacked at the critical moment.

It came in handy. The flying rocks filled the sky and destroyed several warships of the Northern Army. Only then did the Northern Army return to the other side in anger.

However, the casualties were not small. There were 8,000 naval troops and dozens of warships. After this battle, there were less than 3,000 men, and the warships were severely damaged, with only less than ten. If the Northern Army comes again tomorrow

With a wave of attacks like today's, I'm afraid the Gucheng navy will be nothing more than a happy memory.

An emergency document has been sent to Xiangyang for several days, but where are the long-awaited reinforcements? Where are they?

"well……"

In the night wind, Zhang Tuizhi let out a long sigh quietly.

Silently walking down the city wall and leading a few guards back to the camp, the sense of foreboding never went away.

But even a tough man cannot withstand such torture. Since the two armies started fighting, he has slept less than four hours a day on average. Especially in the past period, the Northern Army has been attacking, harassing and harassing day and night.

It made him unable to calm down. Fortunately, his soldiers supported him very much, and no matter what happened, they never complained.

Lying down in his armor, this tough man shed tears.

…

Dang, Dang Dang Dang!

As the bang of the fifth watch sounded, not long after, men in black emerged from the corners of Gucheng.

They were like ghosts in the dark night, running around the city, passing through the branches and leaves, leaping from the roofs, as light and silent as civet cats.

After about a while, I saw streaks of fire rising from Gucheng. Then, the sound of crying started to spread throughout the city.

Before the checkpoint at the south gate could react, it was trampled by a group of iron cavalry. Most of the hundreds of guarding sergeants were ruthlessly harvested in an instant.

War is so bloody and ruthless.

The horse is like a leopard and rides ahead. The long sword passes through and breaks away those who stand in the way. How can a hero who can conquer the great northwest be just an ordinary person?

When they rushed to the south gate city like a whirlwind, they saw a fire burning at the top of the city. Xu Lang, holding a torch in one hand and a long sword in the other, was fighting at the top of the city.

Chasing the Wind Sword Technique is really a powerful weapon in close combat. The guards at the south gate were already weak. When Xu Lang, Xie Laosan, Xiong Laomao, etc. suddenly rushed up, they were caught off guard.

At this time, the city was in chaos.

"Xie Laosan, go quickly, help the brothers open the city gate, and let General Ma come in!"

Xu Lang shouted loudly, but his men were not slow at all. He threw the torch and knocked over another sergeant who rushed towards him.

"Okay!"

Xie Laosan jumped up and led several disciples to kill him again.

At that time, dozens of Beggar Clan disciples were fighting with the soldiers guarding the door inside the south gate.
