Early the next morning, Wufeng ordered Xiao Tang to do a good job in the logistics arrangements in the rear. He and Cui Wenxiu led the second, third, fourth brigades and two reorganized corps soldiers to the west wall. Mulige led the first brigade, the fifth brigade and the other two reorganized corpses to stay in the city. He waited until noon, and the enemy did not make much noise. Wufeng also felt a little strange. In fact, Luo Beiren's infantry had not arrived due to speed reasons, and Kurdo and others did not plan to fight the siege this day. They were also preparing to rest for a day before launching an attack.

The day on October 12 passed quietly, and both sides seemed very calm. But Wufeng knew that this was just the tranquility before the storm came, and he believed that the enemy would not drag on like this, and that would not be beneficial to them.

On October 13, the sun finally rose, and the enemy troops outside the city finally had movement. Wufeng stood on the city tower and stared at the enemy camp in the distance. What was coming was finally coming. With the sound of low horns, soldiers in the enemy camp continued to appear on the horizon, and more and more, the infantry arranged in neat square formations, taking solid steps, and rushed towards Qingyang Prefecture City one by one. The infantry were lined with cavalry formations. The tall and burly soldiers were wrapped in iron armor. The fat and strong war horses roared and galloped. The sound of horse hooves of millions of war horses was so neat and orderly, like the sound of a giant stepping on the ground, the earth trembled.

Luo Beiren's riding skills are indeed well-known. Just from the skillful horse control technique, we can see that Wufeng is worthy of being the best among the nomadic peoples. Wufeng couldn't help but secretly admire him. Koldo also intended to set up a powerful formation to destroy the enemy from his momentum. The soldiers on the city wall were a little shocked, and Wufeng and Cui Wenxiu also noticed the enemy's intentions. They both patrolled the city wall quietly, joking with familiar soldiers from time to time. When the soldiers saw their head coach's calm expression, they quickly calmed down and focused on preparing for battle.

As the shrill sounded, Luobei infantry held high a leather shield and carried sandbags on their backs and launched the first wave of attacks. The cavalry also lay down on their horses and rushed to the moat with sandbags on their backs and threw sandbags into the river. Other soldiers also raised their shields and led their bows to attack the city walls. To attack the city wall, the first thing they had to do was solve the moat. This is a problem that everyone knows. The problem is that how much it would take to fill this moat is not something that ordinary people could predict.

The wave after wave of offensives were like a tide. The officers on the city wall ran back and forth, waving their weapons, and kept drinking their soldiers. After wave after wave of arrows, they kept splashing blood under the city. The giant catapult was even more terrible. The stones the size of millstone were thrown high and fell into the enemy camp accurately, causing huge damage. The soldiers were often smashed by people and horses, broken bones, and their brains were overflowing, bloody and bloody, which was a terrible sight. Screams, moans, and cries came one after another.

The day passed quickly. When the sun was about to set in the west, Luo was finally blew the call of withdrawal from the army. The soldiers on both sides breathed a sigh of relief. Luobei soldiers quickly evacuated from the dangerous area like the tide of the sea. They gathered outside the dangerous area, counted the number of people, and then maintained a good defensive formation and slowly retreated-

Wufeng, who has been paying close attention to the development of the battle situation, was relieved. Luo Beiren’s combat power should not be underestimated. Iron-like discipline and fearless spirit are indeed not something that ordinary teams can possess. No wonder they can win repeatedly—

There was no suspense in the battle on the first day. Without solving the moat problem, the advantage of defending the city was very obvious. After counting the battlefield, Cui Wenxiu reported the situation to Wufeng. 168 people were killed in battle and 325 people were injured, of which 117 were seriously injured. The enemy was estimated to have died more than 4,000 people, and countless injuries were injured.

Wu Feng nodded after listening to the report and signaled Cui Wenxiu to sit down, "Wenxiu, the war will probably become more and more difficult and cruel. Today's results are caused by the enemy's inability to fight back. If you go down, you should warn all soldiers not to be paralyzed. You should strengthen your defense at night to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of loopholes. The enemy's combat effectiveness is well-deserved, and our troops' training must be strengthened after the war." Cui Wenxiu saw that although his commander appreciated the enemy's combat effectiveness, he did not have any worries. His heart was still full of confidence in winning. His originally uneasy mood suddenly relaxed. He suddenly discovered a fact that he had never paid attention to. Whenever he listened to the arrangement of his boss who was nearly ten years younger than him, he was always indetented to say it. It seemed that everything was in his control and there was no need to worry at all. Maybe this was his natural leadership charm.

The gloomy weather cannot stop the fighting spirit of both sides. When the dark sky turns white again, it indicates that the new day will come and the bloody battle between both sides will begin again. With the sound of the hustle horn outside the city, the dongdong war drums on the top of the city are also ringing, and the offensive and defensive battle between both sides begins again-

Luo Bei people's attack has obviously changed today. The dense square formation has been changed to a relatively loose ladder attack. Dozens of large wooden shields that were made overnight were also lifted out. These large wooden shields are four meters high and three meters wide. More than ten soldiers are pushing forward and moving forward effectively. They can effectively defend against the attacks of enemy bows and arrows. They line up every three wooden shields, and the soldiers carrying sandbags hide behind them and slowly push forward. After they advance to the moat, the soldiers behind the wooden shields throw the sandbags into the river. Then, the soldiers are holding wooden shields back. This method can effectively protect the soldiers from being killed by bows and arrows.

However, Wufeng had a precaution against this kind of attack. The night before, he transferred three giant catapults originally arranged on the other three walls overnight. In this way, the catapults on the west wall reached fourteen. He ordered the soldiers who operated the catapult to concentrate their efforts to accurately bombard the wooden shield. The wooden shield often collapsed after being hit by a few huge rocks. The soldiers hiding behind were exposed to arrows and immediately turned into a pile of corpses. However, in this way, the progress of Luo Bei people filling the moat has been greatly accelerated, and the attack on the defensive soldiers on the city wall has also been greatly enhanced.

The fierce battle continued until the afternoon. After dozens of large wooden shields were completely left, nearly five thousand bodies were left, the moat west of Qingyang City was finally filled up, and the sky gradually darkened, and the horn of withdrawing troops sounded again. After Luobei's soldiers retreated, only dead bodies, broken weapons and siege tools were left under the city, which was a mess. Although Luobei people withdrew their troops to the camp, they stationed a cavalry unit to monitor Wufeng's side, probably to prevent the guards from covering the night to re-drain the moat. It seemed that this wide and deep moat had indeed caused the siege who lacked siege tools to suffer enough, so they had to take precautions to avoid the loss during the day.

When night fell completely, Wufeng used dinner and told the guards not to follow him. He walked up to the west wall alone and looked into the distance. Luobei camp a few miles away was dotted with sparks. Calm down and listen carefully, you could even hear the neighing sound of horses. With the burning torches on the city wall, Wufeng looked at the corpses everywhere under the city for no reason. Even Wufeng himself was a little surprised by his own feelings. Tomorrow will be the most difficult and cruel day, and how many brothers he is familiar with will be here

In order to defend this city and protect the people of this city, this section of the city wall will become a silent witness to tomorrow's history. He shook his head, as if he wanted to throw away the decadent emotions of writing. He took two deep breaths and stood in the middle of the city tower. He couldn't help but let out a long roar. The soldiers patrolling around him looked at his young commander in surprise. Wufeng ignored it, looking at the Luobei camp in the distance, thinking silently in his heart, let the storm come more violently, ask the world, who is the hero, just look at the Ming Dynasty-

In the Luobei camp, Koldo, Geya and Haxian were also patrolling various units overnight, and constantly cheering and encouraging the soldiers who had already been red-eyed. The soldiers were all very motivated and demanded to act as vanguards and take the lead in launching the attack. The three were very satisfied and asked the soldiers to hurry up and rest, maintain a good condition, and prepare for tomorrow's battle. The three returned to the Koldo tent and decided to do their best to launch an attack tomorrow, striving to resolve the battle in half a day.

"This is a day that I will never forget for my life, and even many years later, the scene of this day still appears in my nightmare." - Li Wufeng - Excerpted from "Swimming the World - My Memories" -

At 10:00 am on October 15, 691, the decisive battle began. In order to ensure that the city was taken down within one day, Kurdo even ordered 40,000 light cavalry to throw away the war horses and launch a general attack with the remaining 20,000 infantrymen. More than 60,000 Luobei soldiers roared and shouted under the escort of more than 30,000 cavalry, pushing the city cart, carrying a ladder, carrying a bumper wood, waving weapons, densely packed, like an ant, to launch a charge at the west gate of Qingyang City. Wufeng, who had originally left a gang as a reserve team, saw this formation, had to transfer all the troops to the top of the city in order to withstand the enemy's first charge first.

The infantrymen who were attacking the first wave of attacks held leather shields and rain-like arrows, quickly rushed to the city wall, but the soldiers who were defending the city wall rolled the wood and beat the stones and suffered heavy casualties, and there were only a few left. Seeing this, Kurdo immediately ordered the cavalry to advance. Since the Luobei light cavalry all brought their own bows and arrows, Kurdo ordered them to approach and use the bows and arrows to suppress the enemy on the city wall. Under the rain of arrows, the soldiers who defended the city wall also suffered great casualties. Wufeng immediately ordered all the shots.

The stone aircraft concentrated on bombarding the approaching enemy cavalry units. With a burst of "creaking" sounds, huge rocks fell from the sky, smashing the cavalry and horses into meat paste, and this move immediately had a good effect. The cavalry saw their comrades hit the falling rocks as soon as they entered the range of the catapult, and they all tied the reins of the horses, and dared not get too close. In this way, although there was no threat of huge rocks, the threat to the imperial soldiers on the city wall was greatly reduced-

However, the infantry attacks under the city did not weaken at all. Waves of soldiers rushed to the city wall and kept erecting the ladders. The rushing car also continuously attacked the weaker areas of the city wall. Some of the city walls were already shaking. The fierce Luobei soldiers stared at their blood-red eyes, biting their weapons in their mouths, and braved the rolling wood, stones and even oil on the walls, climbing up crazily. The soldiers defending on the city wall were also red in their eyes, bows, arrows, rolling wood, and rocks poured down. Once Luobei soldiers broke through the defense and rushed up the city wall, the soldiers next to them raised their weapons without hesitation and rushed forward to the city wall. Everyone knew that once the enemy successfully rushed to the city wall, it was time for the entire army to be wiped out--

Seeing the increasing number of casualties of subordinates, Kurdo had no expression and was still in a hurry to order the retreating troops to gather again, organize attacks again, and even order officers below the senior general to lead the team to attack. Under the personal leadership of the officer, the morale of the Luobei soldiers, who were already a little lazy, rose up again. The impatient Haxian ignored the dissuasion of Kurdo and Gea, and personally led a team of Luobei soldiers to attack. Seeing that his deputy commander was the first, the Luobei soldiers were even more crazy and swarmed up. Suddenly, an unknown gap appeared in the city wall in the northwest corner. Haxian, who was commanding under the city, immediately discovered this.

In three steps, he came to the city wall in the northwest corner. The soldiers behind him immediately raised the ladder. He jumped up the city wall. Several imperial soldiers around him immediately rushed up, but they were not Haxian's opponents. When they met, they fell under the sabre of Haxian. Luobei soldiers under the city wall also followed the trend. The soldiers defending nearby could not resist and retreated step by step. Seeing that the city wall was about to be declared lost, in a critical moment, a burly figure appeared next to the fallen imperial soldiers, "You go and deal with those people, I will deal with this person!" The soldiers who followed immediately rushed towards Luobei soldiers who were climbing up like hungry tigers and sheep.

The one who came to reinforce Wufeng's personal guards, led the team. Kang Jianguo, the first private, who challenged Wufeng, was now the squadron leader of the professional guards. After the failure to challenge Wufeng, he admired Wufeng and thought that his martial arts foundation was quite good, so he taught his martial arts skills in addition to internal skills and external skills, because internal skills were laid a solid foundation since childhood and could not be modified at will. Over the past three years, Kang Jianguo has trained very hard and his martial arts have also made great progress, especially the "blood killing sword technique" that Wufeng taught him in a targeted manner, which he has mastered.

Ha Xian also saw that this person was not an ordinary person. He claimed that he would capture the thief and the king first, and the two immediately fought into a group. The Luobei soldiers behind Ha Xian were not lucky because Kang Jianguo brought these guards from the best in the army, and they were all taught by Wufeng himself, and their martial arts were extraordinary. He immediately killed these ordinary Luobei soldiers quickly. Ha Xian, who was fighting fiercely with Kang Jianguo, was wrong, and knew that if he didn't escape, he would probably become a prisoner of the enemy, forcing Kang Jianguo to jump to the top of the city, jumped straight down, and jumped off the city wall again. The soldiers of the imperial soldiers around him also discovered the problems here and came to reinforce. The originally precarious gap was finally blocked again-

After Koldo, who was closely following the development of the battle under the city, found that Hassan had broken through the gap in the northwest corner, immediately ordered Gea to lead the elite troops to launch an attack on the weakest southwest corner of the city wall. On the one hand, it could alleviate Hassan's pressure, and on the other hand, it also wanted to use Hassan's breakthrough to cause the other party to focus on the northwest corner. One side just opened the gap in the southwest. But he did not expect that in just a short while, the soldiers who broke through the northwest corner were wiped out, and Hassan was forced to

Retreat. The offensive and defensive battle in the southwest corner was more intense, and Geya's personal attack greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of Luobei soldiers. Because the terrain of the southwest corner was relatively short and the city walls were thinner, the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides were unprecedentedly fierce. Under the leadership of Geya, the charge of Luobei soldiers was higher than that of the other, and several sections of the city walls changed hands several times, but under Cui Wenxiu's tenacious defensive counterattack, the defense line never collapsed. Geya also fought with Cui Wenxiu several times, but did not gain any advantage-
