Even the sun seemed unwilling to see this tragic scene, and quietly slipped into the clouds. The afterglow of the sunset river was shining brightly on the edge of the clouds, but the sky gradually dimmed, which also indicates that the attack and defense of the first day came to an end. Of course, unless the head coach of the attacking side intentionally fought at night, in this case, night battles were also difficult to achieve better results. The head coach of the Maqikhan did not want to do this.

As the sound of the horn turned into a whimpering sound, the first thing to retreat was the infantry team fighting on the front line. When the infantry retreated to a certain position, various small engineering equipment began to retreat, and the large siege tools also slowly retreated under the push of animal power or manpower. The cavalry teams on both wings were at this time to keep a high alert to prevent the enemies in the fortress from rushing out to take the opportunity to cover up. However, it seemed that the Sanjiang army in the fortress also suffered a lot of losses, and everything ended in a very peaceful form.

The mottled blood marks on the city wall and the city tower still emitting thick smoke predicted that the war was not over. This was just a brief rest, for the more cruel battle the next day. The logistics personnel who collected the corpses on both sides raised the battle-free flags with a white-backed red cross as usual. After a day of rest, the logistics soldiers began to be busy up and down the city wall. Whether it was their bloody bodies or incomplete corpses, the logistics soldiers always had to pick them up like corpses bags, and then tried every means to take out the soldier signs hanging on them and put them on the corpses as a basis for explaining to the dead soldiers. This practice was originally not popular in the Eastern Continent, but with the frequent wars between the Tanghe Empire and the Three Kingdoms in the North, and the Milanese who accepted the customs of the Western Continent also began to take this humanized measure in the war with the Maqi Khans. This method soon became a custom unwritten rule in the Eastern Continent.

Pu Tiancheng was not very satisfied with the battle on the first day, especially when he saw the bodies piled up with half of the camp. This scene made him even more unhappy. It was not that he was dissatisfied with the combat effectiveness of the Yulin Corps, but that he had doubts about the information reported by the domestic intelligence department. From the intelligence, it was reported that the defense facilities of Loushanguan City should be said to be incomplete, and it could even be said to be relatively simple. Although Sanjiang and his side have strengthened the defense facilities of Loushanguan in the past year, after all, the buildings that Loushanguan have been fixed and can only be made for small and medium-sized expansion and improvement. However, judging from the performance of the opponent today, it is somewhat inconsistent with the information obtained.

First of all, the enemy's catapult position. Although he used powerful long-range weapons to destroy the enemy's catapult position, unexpectedly, the enemy re-arranged mobile catapults in a short period of time. Although the number and power are not as good as the first batch, this change has caused a lot of trouble for himself who did not expect it, especially the mobile arrow towers and siege vehicles that thought the enemy had lost heavy strike weapons. Due to the slow speed, it became even more difficult.

The square stone caster focused on targets. The archer lost twenty-eight vehicles in one day just by moving the arrow tower, and the archers lost more than 600 people, which made Fu Tiancheng feel very distressed. The siege cars were even more miserable. Ten were destroyed by the siege tools before they could reach the city wall and lost their ability to move. The rockets that followed made the siege cars immediately turned into stoves, making it difficult for soldiers who were trying to pass the siege cars to attack through the siege cars like the Ten Lions Crossfire Circle.

The enemy built a large number of hidden soldiers along the city walls that were connected to the city walls, which also caused one side to suffer a secret loss. Every time they saw that they had already climbed up the city walls to gain an advantage, the enemy soldiers who had come from nowhere could always go to the battlefield at the most critical moment, regain the decline and gain the upper hand, and kill the soldiers who had finally climbed up the city walls. When their own long-range weapons began to attack, they rushed back to the hidden soldiers to hide. This repeated setbacks on their own attacks and caused heavy losses to the two Yulin corpses.

The decisive intention shown by the enemy was the most troublesome thing for Putiancheng. He did not want to fight with his opponent until the last moment through this method. Although he believed that he could finally stand on the head of the city of Loushanguan with his existing strength, he really did not want to use such too bloody and somewhat square-like means to kill three thousand people and hurt himself eight hundred. This is an old saying by the Tanghe people and a classic explanation of frontal wars. Putiancheng did not want to see this scene, but the possibility of this situation is gradually increasing, especially after seeing the performance of the Sanjiang army today, Pu Tiancheng thought so, which is not a good omen.

But he was helpless. Even in difficulties and no matter how big the losses were, he had to fight this battle. If he did not remove the nail in Loushanguan, his side would never be able to move west with all his might. It was like a bone spur stuck in his throat, which made people unable to eat or sleep.

The staff on duty were arranged in the big tent. Putiancheng thought about the map for a while before he felt a little tired. He turned to the inner tent and fell asleep. However, before he was relieved, he heard the sound of killing in the southwest suddenly shook the sky. He drove out of the tent a few steps away, but he saw the fire in the southwest soaring into the sky, reflecting half of the sky red, while the shouts of killing became louder and louder. Sometimes, he could hear the vague sound of impact and horse neighing.

Standing outside the tent with his hands behind his back, Bu Tiancheng's face was as deep as water, but he was in amazement. While ordering the soldiers to quickly investigate the situation, he was guessing what happened. He had specially arranged various troops to work at night to prevent the enemy from robbing the camp at night. Could it be that a small group of enemies were harassing the soldiers at night, deliberately trying to affect the sleeping and rest of his soldiers? It seemed that they were not an elephant. The sound of collisions of weapons came from proved that the two sides had already handed over the front, but from the position, it seemed that they were in the camp. Does the enemy still know that the soldiers on duty in the camp were touched? This is too exaggerated.

It was not until an hour later that the news came from the southwest that Pu Tiancheng understood the real situation. The enemy really came to rob the camp, and successfully burned down all the supplies, food and some siege equipment of the Fifth Corps. The Fifth Corps even suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

Pu Tiancheng, whose face turned pale, stared at the officer who came to report the situation, and his teeth were chewed. Unexpectedly, he repeatedly asked the corps to pay attention to strengthening their night duty. Unexpectedly, he was still robbed by the other party of the camp and touched directly into the depths of the camp. If it were not for the timely discovery, I was afraid that even the entire Fifth Corps headquarters would be taken away by the other party. Even so, the blow to the morale of the Fifth Corps and other departments would be difficult to estimate.

"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to strengthen your duty at night? How did the enemy come in? What did Gudema (the commander of the Fifth Corps) do for food? Why didn't he come to report to me in person?" The sinister voice made the deputy commander who came to report the situation shiver. This general of Dingguo is a famous thorny general who is not good at eating. Any subordinate invaded him. If he could not give him a satisfactory explanation, it would be difficult for him to pass his military law.

"There is a reason for the incident, but it is also a fault for us to make some mistakes. The commander of the corps is now commanding the enemy troops who are siege and attacking them. It is probably ending soon." The deputy commander did not dare to neglect and took the initiative to take some responsibility. He knew that the commander hated the person who shirked responsibility the most.

"There is a cause? How come there is a cause? Let's listen." After hearing the other party say this, Pu Tiancheng's face improved a little, but his tone was still cold.

"Our Corps is stationed in the southeast corner of the outside of Loushan Pass. There is a large cemetery. When we were camping, we had thoroughly searched this place. However, because the soldiers were a little taboo about the cemetery, the camping places were surrounded by cemetery, which was a little far from the cemetery. Unexpectedly, it was a trap designed by the Sanjiang people. Those cemetery tunnels connected to the underground and directly connected to the Loushan Pass fortress. The enemy secretly took out the cemetery at night and assassinated the post of our duty. Taking advantage of the situation, we took the opportunity to prevent fire attacks in our camp. Because it was suddenly attacked from the center and in the dark, the various departments did not know which direction the enemy came from. There was a little chaos in the early stage. Later, the corps commander took action and finally stabilized his position. The number of enemies was not large. When I came to report to the general, the situation was basically controlled." The deputy commander obviously had already considered the wording on the road, and it was orderly.

In fact, when the other party said the word "Tangling" and Bu Tiancheng knew what the problem was. He didn't expect that his opponent would have this trick. Obviously, he had planned it and actually built the tunnel directly outside the city. Perhaps the original purpose was to facilitate sneak attacks from the city at night. Unexpectedly, he directly broke into his own camp this time, and it was really bad for the Fifth Corps.

After a while of silence, his dark eyes seemed to be searching under the butter lamp. Bu Tiancheng squeezed out two sentences from his teeth: "Go back and search me well, don't let the enemy touch it. If this happens again, let Gudema clean his neck and wait for the military and legal team to behead him!"
