On the night of August 18, the bloody battle lasted until midnight. Fang La's army could not capture it for a long time and suffered heavy injuries. Finally, they retreated and recuperated.

"Ho-ho--"

A shocking cheer broke out above the city. The Muzhou defenders knew that this was the most fierce wave of siege in Fang La's offensive. As long as they could withstand it, the future would naturally not be a problem. If you guard one more day, the reinforcements would have a better chance of arrival.

Cao Hua was also in a good mood. He had seen the dawn of victory and cheered with many soldiers.

Han'er had been fighting blood for nearly four days, and his always cold temperament became a little cheerful. He stood on the city tower with his waist on his back, with a big impression of no other than me.

However, the price of defending the city this time was also not small. Many militia recruited from the city wall were injured by hawkish arrows, showing timidity, and he didn't want to fight again after taking the money.

Cao Hua tried every means to incite the people and almost ruined the silver notes sent by King Kang, which stabilized the morale of the army.

The most surging wave of siege in the city has been fought against, and the defenders on the city are all very imposing. They start preparing the equipment for defending the city without any need to be mobilized, waiting for the next wave of attack.

Cao Hua knew that Fang La would inevitably conquer Muzhou, and the subsequent offensive would only become more and more hysterical, so he did not carelessly and continued to incite the people to boost morale to the defenders.

But what everyone did not expect was that the Muzhou defenders drew their swords and waited for the bloody battle, but what they were waiting for was Fang Lajun's itchy attack.

The next two days, Fang La's army's offensive became weaker and weaker each time, and seemed to have lost confidence in the siege. It only with symbolic harassment took a few more times and then retreated back to the camp, without even rushing up to the top of the city.

This approach is unquestionable and waiting for death, even Cao Hua is a little confused.

Until the early morning of August 20th, Tong Shu rushed into the city tower with great joy and said aloud:

"Fang La retreated! Fang La retreated!"

Cao Hua and Xie Yijun, who were sitting in the city tower resting, rushed out and looked up at the wilderness outside the city. Only then did they find that the Fang La army camp was left in the distance with only earth stoves all over the ground, and the bandits had long disappeared.

"Ho-ho--"

In an instant, the cheers from the top of the city spread throughout Muzhou City in an instant, leaving only more than a thousand defenders with tears in their eyes, and some even lay on the ground and hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

Ye Juzhong and many civil servants were happy and ran to Cao Hua and said loudly:

"Governor Cao, we've kept it, we've kept it! Hahaha..."

The joy of victory filled the city, and even the many black feather guards could not hide their excitement. The guard general Tong Shu even raised the Song Dynasty imperial flag and waved it hard, bursting out a shout like a tide.

"Ho-ho--"

Cao Hua stood on the blood-stained city wall and was happy for a moment, but his intuition made him feel that something was wrong.

Fang La couldn't defeat Muzhou and had nowhere to go. The uprising instantly turned into a downward trend, and it might have changed from attack to exile. Fang La was still strong in his troops, and if he lost it like this, it would feel a bit too ridiculous.

Song Yang, who had experienced a few days of bloody battles, was a good fighter, and at this time he was a little confused:

"In theory, the offensive behind will become more and more powerful, why will it become weaker and weaker?"

Xie Yijun frowned and looked at the direction far away:

"Fang La had been planning for many years before he started his army. There were many people who responded to the situation in all directions. He had to shoot the arrows on the string. It was impossible for him to give up Muzhou City. Even if he wanted to divert the route to attack Shezhou, he would not have retreated last night."

Cao Hua rubbed his fingers and thought for a moment:

"Did our reinforcements arrive today?"

Song Yang nodded: "According to the speed of the march, if Wang Shuai travels day and night to Muzhou, he must have arrived this morning... Oh no..."

Song Yang said that the face changed drastically and he looked to the north.

Cao Hua's face also changed slightly. In order to rush to Muzhou, reinforcements would inevitably forcefully march at any cost. Fang La's army attacked tentatively in the past two days, and was raising their strength and putting their absolute superior forces in another direction.

Cao Hua ran under the city wall without thinking and said aloud:

"Open the city gate, Ye Juzhong led the militia to continue to defend the city, and everyone else followed me out of the city."

The city wall was confused and looked around and was confused.

The Black Feather Guard did not dare to delay, so he immediately counted the manpower, rushed out of the city gate with a thousand imperial guards, and galloped towards the north...

-----

The autumn wind was flying, and Wang Xiu sat on the horse and galloped towards Muzhou City twenty miles north of Muzhou.

Ten thousand imperial guards trotted quickly and walked on the road with their baggage. The seven consecutive days of rapid march had exhausted the imperial guards wearing heavy armor. Many people fell out of the team and were whipped back by the military supervisor.

The deputy general held the map in his hand and followed Wang Xiu to the left, and said anxiously: "General, we will be half a day away to Muzhou. If you don't stop and make some repairs..."

Wang Xiu looked back with a little anxious face: "The King of Wang issued a military order. Be sure to ensure that Muzhou is safe and sound, otherwise the official will be furious. Muzhou has been guarding for six days and may break the city at any time. We can't wait and speed up the marches."

The deputy general hesitated and gritted his teeth and said, "The soldiers were trapped and the horses were too scarce, and even if they arrived, it would be difficult to attack the enemy camp immediately..."

Wang Xiu was furious and whipped the deputy general with a whip:

"Fang La has nowhere to go if he doesn't capture Muzhou. He will definitely attack the city at all costs. He has been attacking for six consecutive days. Can we still be more trapped than a group of refugees on the other side?"

The deputy general looked at the uneven infantry and hesitated for a moment:

"General, the scout has not returned yet, and is not clear about the situation ahead. At least let the soldiers repair here for a while and attack the enemy camp at night..."

Before he finished speaking, the deputy general stopped, his eyes showing a tremor from his bone marrow.

hiss--

Wang Xiu hurriedly grabbed the horse, the anxiety on his face and anger disappeared without a trace, leaving only shock.

Ten thousand imperial guards pushed their baggage and ran for six consecutive days. As soon as they passed through the canyon between Centipede Mountain, they saw endless army standing on the river beach outside the canyon. Countless people emerged from the mountains on both sides and came from all directions.

Wang Xiu would never dream of launching a fierce attack on Muzhou City and vowing to break Muzhou City before reinforcements arrived, the Fang La rebels would suddenly appear in the area of ​​Monkey Mountain twenty miles away, and all of them came over.

There are only more than one thousand defenders in Muzhou, and he is only ten thousand elite soldiers. Fang La will inevitably suffer a lot of losses in attacking the city for several days and cannot be repaired. Why should he block his ten thousand elite soldiers?

The tired army that had been sieging the city for six days in a row, and marching for twenty miles in a short period of time, why should we fight head-on with ten thousand well-equipped imperial guards?

Thousands of feather arrows rose up, which made Wang Xiu regain his thoughts, and his eyes gradually turned into horror, and he said angrily:
Chapter completed!
