Chapter 678

The wooden wall was always a wooden wall. With the continuous impact of the wood, several relatively large gaps finally appeared. The first layer of wooden rafts that formed the wooden wall had already been finished. After the continuous impact of the wood, the soil wall behind had become a pile of scattered soil. Amid the huge shouts of the Wu Yue Navy soldiers, a huge gap was finally broken. The soldiers of the Wu Yue Navy soldiers stepped on the fallen wooden rafts and finally rushed into Li Yu's military camp.

Shoot the arrow!

Five soldiers from the Wu Yue Navy rushed into Li Yu's military camp excitedly from the gap, but in front of them, thirty crossbowmen had been waiting for a long time. As soon as they saw someone coming out, the command of the hundred households immediately issued an order to shoot arrows. All five were shot into hedgehogs, and even two people were shot outside the gap.

All the gaps were blocked by the door-sticking knives.

The door-sticking knife trolley is a two-wheeled car. There are four rectangular wooden boards connected together in front. The blade is inserted from the back of the wooden board and is densely arranged. When the soldiers operating the door-sticking knife trolley see a new gap, they immediately push the knife trolley towards the gap and hit the enemy who is rushing in.

Because there are blades in front of them, the soldiers of the Wuyue Navy had to retreat when facing the door-sticking knife chariot. The shield in their hands was too thin and could not be used to block the knife chariot. They could only use a long spear to hard press. Several people dealt with a door-sticking knife chariot and found a way to hard press it back.

After a fierce battle for one day, Li Yu left only 200,000 soldiers and 200,000 civilians as reserve teams, and forced all the Wu Yue Navy, who was also investing huge forces and attacking fiercely, blocked all the Wu Yue Navy's gaps outside the gap in the wooden wall. Song Cunxiao made great contributions in this battle. He was wearing heavy armor and commanded 200,000 elite troops to block all the Wu Yue Navy's elite troops who entered the gap with the help of the silencer chariot. The gap was full of corpses discarded by the Wu Yue Navy.

At this point, the soldiers on both sides were extremely tired, especially the offensive soldiers. They had to consume much more physical strength than the defending soldiers, and the soldiers on the defense had some opportunities to rest and eat, while the offensive soldiers even had very few opportunities to drink a sip of water.

In desperation, the commander of the Wuyue Navy could only order the soldiers to retreat from the other side to rest, but all the floating bridges were guarded by soldiers. Once Li Yu's army wanted to destroy the floating bridge, the camp would immediately send large troops to reinforce.

Li Yu did not take the opportunity to send troops to destroy the floating bridge, and his soldiers were extremely tired. If they attacked the floating bridge, it would be possible to trigger a new round of fierce attacks by the Wu Yue Navy. Li Yu had only 200,000 soldiers and 200,000 civilians who had not participated in the battle. The main army had fought for a whole day, and he could not fight any more. In the end, Li Yu could only let the 200,000 civilians who strengthened the gap in the wooden wall at night. 200,000 soldiers closely monitored the movements of the Wu Yue Navy and were careful of the other party's night attack.

Grandmaster, this battle cannot be fought like this. If we continue, we will end up with both sides suffering. If the army fights all out, what else can we use to protect the territory we have now? The morale of the soldiers is also very low and there are too many wounded soldiers. If we continue like this, even if we defeat the Wuyue Navy, we will not have the strength to deal with Liulang around us.Grandmaster, I think we should withdraw our troops. The Wuyue Navy suffered a huge loss this time. They also need to rest in the short term. We can still wait for the next opportunity!

General Xiahou Ba once again advised Li Yu to withdraw his troops. This was also the intention of the many patriarchs of the Wu Yue wealthy families behind General Xiahou Ba. The nearly one month of fierce battle caused heavy casualties and injuries to the soldiers of these wealthy families. If they continued to fight like this, all the private soldiers and nephews they had finally gathered together would be over.

The first line of defense can no longer be defended, and we still have a second line of defense. We can also order the left-behind officials to organize reinforcements to support immediately. If we retreat now, the result is that the hungry Wu Yue Navy will follow us into the rule of the general. Whatever we did under the city of Hefei, they will also use the same method to deal with us, and we must not withdraw our troops!

Song Cunxiao had the principle of not withdrawing troops, and of course he had to oppose the opinions raised by his younger brother. This also affects the interests of a large number of generals. If the troops were withdrawn at this time, then all the efforts, sweat and blood of the generals and middle and senior officers would be wasted.

For the failed side in the war, all the military achievements established on the battlefield will be erased, and many officers believe that they still have the power to fight.

Li Yu didn't say much. He asked both deputy generals to go down, leaving him alone in the tent. Li Yu is a hero. If he wants to do a great job, he must not only make careful arrangements, but also dare to gamble, take his own life and bet with God. If he wins the bet, he can get everything, and if he loses the bet, he will have nothing, and even his own life.

Li Yu bet this time that Liu Lang was catching up with the wrong waters and his concern for not wanting to be rebellious. The 100,000 elites he had kept secretly would come from Hefei immediately. With these 100,000 elites Li Yu could advance or retreat, of course, it was also used to guard against Liu Lang at the beginning.

Liulang's army finally moved and was rushing towards here. Li Yu knew that he had to hold on for a while, and then insisted on tomorrow for one day, Liulang could come here, but how much the price would have to be paid tomorrow for this day? Li Yu was not sure. His little deputy general was right. If he fought like this, how could he have suffered too much loss? The next morning, the soldiers who slept very hard and ate breakfast in a daze. The breakfast this morning was very rich, not porridge, but white rice, meat and vegetable soup and even each team could get a bottle of wine. However, many soldiers regarded this as the last meal. The Wu Yue navy on the other side might attack at any time. It is unknown how many people would survive. Therefore, the soldiers who had the wine kept took out the wine they carried with them and shared it with their partners to taste it.

For a whole morning, the Wu Yue Navy's army did not launch an attack. Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The longer the time is now, the more beneficial it is for him, but the more dangerous it is, because the Wu Yue Navy's offensive may be launched next will be extremely fierce. All the grease was concentrated and all the useful ones were used. Li Yu received news in the morning that Liu Lang's army was approaching him quickly. Liu Lang did not make any embarrassment at all for Li Yu's spy monitoring Liu Lang's army.

Li Yu's army spent the whole morning half asleep and half awake. The tired people hoped to sleep for a while, but when they thought that the enemy might attack, sleeping too much will make their body stiff and their minds blank. At that time, they would die if they fought. As a result, many people were half asleep and half awake, reminding each other that they should not sleep too hard.

After lunch, the Wu Yue Navy finally launched a general attack. There were 100,000 people in the front row, not many, but it was the best equipment and the most elite soldiers. The 100,000 people were all wearing scale armor connected by copper pieces. Their defense ability was much higher than that of inlaid armor, especially the defense against arrows. All the crossbows on the wooden wall were firing with all their strength, trying to shoot more enemies forward. However, in the fierce battle before, there were only twenty-five crossbows left, so the casualties that could be caused were very small, and it was even more difficult for the crossbows on the tower to watch.

The 100,000 elite soldiers of the Wuyue Navy quickly passed through the floating bridge. The crossbow was wrapped in copper pieces on the surface. The soldiers wearing scales could not play much role. There were only eleven left in the tower. There were too few soldiers on it, and the rain of arrows looked so sparse.

When 100,000 elite soldiers rushed to the bottom of the wooden wall, the soldiers on the wooden wall smashed down with stones, but the casualties they could bring to the enemy were also very small. The shields were connected into one piece, which was a moving city wall. Most of the stones fell to the ground. Only a small part of them were lucky. When they slid down the shield to the ground, they hit the shoulder or feet of the soldiers beside them.

The bundles of grease were poured with grease, and the firewood was wrapped inside. Many wooden shields had long been placed on the wooden wall to defend against the arrows shot by the Wu Yue Navy. When they saw that all the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Wu Yue Navy rushed under the wooden wall, they began to attack the gap, and constantly smashed the sandbags on the gaps that had been opened before, and they could rush in at any time. All the door-sticking knives near the gaps were ready.

The bundle of grass was lit and directly thrown at the enemy climbing up against the long ladder. The burning bundle of grass fell from the sky with flames. Even if it fell to the ground, it was difficult for the soldiers of the Wuyue Navy to trample it. Moreover, these bundles were thrown down one by one, and some burning dry grass was scattered and floated to the soldiers. The sparks flying everywhere stimulated the soldiers' unprotected faces. Many soldiers had to close their eyes to prevent Mars from flying into their eyes. The thick smoke became bigger and bigger, but several gaps could not be opened. The three commanders of the Wuyue Navy were anxious.

One hundred thousand elites are their foundation. If these hundred thousand elites are finished, then they will never have much capital in the future. It doesn’t matter how many ordinary soldiers die, and they will be replenished soon. But if all the elites are killed in battle, the price will be huge, but they can’t retreat at this time.

Two hundred thousand soldiers carrying bags of small sand and soil quickly ran to the other side of the river. In order to reduce weight and increase speed, these two hundred thousand people were not equipped with shields. However, now Li Yu's army is working hard to deal with the 100,000 elite soldiers under the wooden wall, so they rushed across the river at a very small price, and then spread the sand and soil in the bags to the ground everywhere, covering the burning bundles of grass.

More bundles of grass were thrown down, and more and more people were burned and burned under the wooden wall. It was almost impossible to attack the wooden wall with a long ladder. As soon as you get on the ladder, stones and burning bundles of grass fell down. However, under the continuous impact of the bumps of wood, more and more sandbags in the gap fell, and the sandbags on several gaps had reached the point where they could step on one foot.

But when the soldiers of the Wu Yue Navy were stepping on sand and soil bags to attack into the wooden wall, a large number of fires were lit at the same time, and burning fires were everywhere. The general commanding in front of the Wu Yue Navy had to quickly order that all the soldiers retreated to the other side of the river, and the swaths of wooden walls had been lit by the fire.
