At this time, the city under Pule County seemed to have become a hell. The city walls were incomplete, and there were corpses, dead horses, broken weapons, and blood had gathered into small ponds.

The Turks' attack on Pule County lasted for more than ten days. There were at least four or five thousand Turkish corpses lying under the city, but for the 100,000 Turkic army, it was only a small part, and the strength of the Turks was still not comparable to that of the Zhou army in the city.

Fortunately, the Turkic army only attacked Pule County for one day. Seeing that it was not taken for a short time, it began to divide the troops, leaving only about 20,000 troops to continue attacking Pule County, and the rest went to sweep other cities. Otherwise, the 100,000 troops continued to attack Pule County, and Pule County would have been defeated by the Turks.

After more than ten days of attack, the Zhou army in Pule County also paid a heavy price. Nearly a thousand regular troops were killed, and the rest were injured. Half of the eight thousand young and strong men organized in the city were killed and injured. It can be said that every family in the city was filial, and the living people were exhausted and wanted to die, relying on a stream of blood to support it.

"Woo, woo." The desolate ox horn sounded, and the Turks who were attacking finally withdrew again. Many Zhou troops who were defending the city fell on the city wall, unable to even pick up the weapons in their hands. The sound of clanging weapons falling from the ground came from everywhere, and they had no energy to cheer.

Some old and weak people in the city quickly walked up to the city and began to hurry up and repair the damaged city walls and transport various materials to the city guards. Some women and children were holding steaming food and stuffing them into the arms of the defenders, allowing them to take the opportunity to eat a bite of hot food. These days, the entire Pule County has started to serve the city guards. The Turks were extremely cruel, and they suffered such great losses under the city. Once the city was broken, they would only be slaughtered.

Da Xi Changru took a piece of cooked meat from a brightly dressed woman and ate it in big mouthfuls. His face was covered with dust and blood, without the charm of a county magistrate.

The woman couldn't help but take out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped it on Da Xi Changru's face. Da Xi Changru hurriedly avoided: "Don't do this, let's see Cheng He Taitong, you can send it to others."

The woman replied, "Yes." She walked towards the other soldiers.

When he saw the woman passing by, no matter how tired the sergeant was, he would quickly get up and take the food from the woman. He would respectfully say: "Thank you, Madam." It turned out that this woman was Da Xi Changru's wife. It was under the guidance of Da Xi Changru's wife that many women had the courage to deliver hot food in the gaps of war, inspiring the sergeants to continue fighting.

"Woo, woo." The Turkic horn sounded again, but this time it was the horn of the attack. The soldiers hurriedly urged the people who were still on the city: "Hurry, go down the city tower."

"Swish! Swish!" As soon as the people went down, the Turkic arrows had already flew into the city. The soldiers hurriedly hid under the thick shield. However, although the shield was thick, facing the overwhelming rain of arrows from the Turkic people, soldiers would be shot from time to time and let out a groan.

After the arrow rain, the ladders of the Turks siege below had been set up to climb the city. The defenders had to poke their heads out from under the tall shield and smashed them down hard with the prepared rolling wooden stones. The hit Turks screamed and fell to the top of the city. From time to time, the defenders were also caught by arrows, and some of the Turks who climbed up began to fight with the defenders, and their lives were harvested by death at every moment.

The sun seemed to be unwilling to see this tragic scene on earth. It slowly fell behind the mountain. Only a little afterglow of the setting sun remained, the Turks finally left hundreds of corpses and retreated.

After another day, all the defenders were exhausted. Da Xi Changru dragged his heavy steps and began to set up defense at night. The Turks relied on the large number of people and attacked tentatively every night. Although the intensity was far less than that during the day, they should not be careless. If they were accidentally broken through, they might be allowed to be. Since the Turks attacked the city, Da Xi Changru did not rest for a night.

The sun in the distance seemed to be bloody and completely sank. The deputy general couldn't help but mutter: "Sir, when will the reinforcements arrive? If this continues, Pule County will not be able to hold on."

Da Xi Changru glared at the deputy general: "No matter when reinforcements arrive, we must stick to it. Behind us is our home, our wife and children."

Pule County is lucky because it is the largest city on the border, with its population and material resources, and 2,000 regular troops are also elite. More importantly, Da Xi Changru was tenacious and could resist the Turks for more than ten days. However, other cities were far less lucky than Pule County. The Turks divided their troops and advanced rapidly. In more than ten days, they swept over Wuyuan County, Honghua County, Yanzhou, Xiazhou and other ten prefectures. As long as the resistance prefectures and counties were captured by the Turks, men in the whole city would be killed, women were *, and villages were burned down, leaving only a mess.

If the soldiers who were on the front line were looking forward to reinforcements knew that there would be only 2,000 reinforcements in the court, and these 2,000 reinforcements had been put in vain for a period of precious time before setting off, I don’t know how many prefectures and counties would still have the confidence to resist.

These days, the Turks have robbed enough and killed enough. The rest is to go to Chang'an City to show off their power, and then return to the prairie with all kinds of materials extorted and stolen from the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, Pule County is like a thorn in the throat of the Turks. If you don't take it down, you will always be reluctant to advance to the inland, delaying the footsteps of the Turkic army.

The Taohuiyuan Square in the capital is crowded with people, and its scale is not as beautiful as the last ceremonies. In order to show that he was not afraid of the Turks, and to calm the hearts of the capital, Emperor Tianyuan wanted to hold a warring ceremony for the Xuanlong Army here.

Yang Tian rode on the back of Chiying. His whole body was surrounded by a layer of iron armor. Only a little childish face appeared on his face, looking extremely majestic. Around him were a hundred neatly dressed in one hundred personal soldiers, and at the outermost, there were two thousand Xuanlong troops. In the sunlight, the sword light shone with a metallic luster.

Emperor Tianyuan sat high on the stage and looked down at the densely packed people below. The people were like ants. If it weren't for the stability of his own country, he would never want to leave the warm arms of the beautiful girl in the harem to come here.
