If the root of this problem cannot be found, Gongsun Du believes that his ambition will most likely be buried in this battle.

So, in a rare move, after hearing the news of the enemy's arrival, Gongsun Du appeared at the top of Xiangping City wearing a light armored leather helmet.

Also appearing at the top of Xiangping City were Gongsun Mo, Liu Yi, Yang Yi, Han Zhong and other core members of the Liaodong Gongsun clan.

If this battle cannot be won, then one can imagine the fate of these core members of the Liaodong Gongsun clan.

But compared to the Gongsun family who insisted on defending Xiangping and personally visited the city to show their determination, the Xianbei army seemed not to be too concerned about this attack that should be regarded as the "final blow" to the Liaodong regime.

to attach too much importance to

The one who led this siege was a very angry-looking "middle-aged man" dressed in the usual Huns' attire. Not to mention Qian Man, even Su Li, who had previously been known as the "Return of the Dead", did not appear.

In front of the soldiers and civilians of Xiangping City.

Could it be because of the huge head that is still hanging on the city gate tower to this day?

All in all, compared to the Liaodong Army in Xiangping City, which was as tense as a bowstring, the army outside the city looked like they were strolling around, making people feel that they were not here to fight, but more like they were engaged in a grand battle.

An ordinary outing.

Such an attitude is really unpleasant.

However, such emotions quickly disappeared without a trace in the enemy's first tentative attack, which was probably just a tentative attack - although logically speaking, this attack should be carried out to collect various intelligence in the legend."

It was a "testing" attack, but it seemed that the 20,000 Xianbei infantry who participated in the attack had no intention of just "testing it". The crazy attack method that almost killed the enemy together made it almost impossible to tell who was the desperate defender.

Home Warrior.

Did the coach, who was probably a Huns, really not regard the Xianbei people under his command as human beings?

Do those Xianbei people really regard themselves as a human being? They are so crazy in such a situation that is not desperate.

These two thoughts sounded from the hearts of the defenders at almost the same moment.

Although the Xianbei people had to retreat temporarily after leaving nearly 5,000 people behind due to the defenders' complete reserves and the fairly good morale at the beginning of the battle, leaving only the gas still burning on top of Xiangping City.

The green smoke and the large number of corpses on the city wall proved how tragic the fighting between the two sides in this "tentative" attack was.

It was also during this "exploratory" attack that both Gongsundu and the other Liaodong Army and allies discovered several disturbing facts - the Liaodong Army as the defender was facing such a crazy attack by the enemy.

Although they were able to defend against the first wave of attacks, the cost was not only the regular defense tools, but also a rough estimate of nearly 10,000 battle losses.

Usually in a siege battle where the gap between the two sides is not very obvious, if the siege party adopts mindless offensive behavior during the war, the battle loss ratio between the attacking and defending sides is about 1:3 to 1:

Between 5 and 5, depending on the quality of the soldiers on both sides of the attack and defense and the skill level of the generals defending the city, which direction the specific number will tend to fall within this fluctuation range will be determined.

But what I didn't expect was that it was only the first attack, but it had already caused a battle loss ratio of nearly 2:1 for both the offensive and defensive sides.

Although only in terms of numbers, there are still more than 70,000 households in Xiangping City, plus the private population controlled by those powerful people that are not included in the census. There are approximately 378,000 people. According to the two-to-two exchange rate,

A ratio of one, no matter how you look at it, it’s still

It can consume the Xianbei army that invades the invaders. It can even be said that as long as the Xianbei army suffers more than 50% battle damage, Qianman, as the Xianbei Chanyu, probably can no longer bear such losses, because this will definitely threaten him.

dominance over the grasslands.

But that's just a numbers game.

In fact, the so-called 2:1 ratio was barely obtained by the Liaodong Army using its own and its allies' more elite troops to fight to the death. It may even be a "test attack" by the enemy - although this statement probably does not apply to the Liaodong Allied Forces.

The generals are willing to believe that if the enemy does not recall the Xianbei infantry in the end but allows them to continue the attack and then invest more troops, neither Gongsun Du nor anyone else believes that their side can maintain the battle loss ratio of 2:1.

.

As for another fact that frightened and chilled Gongsun Du and others, and had even affected the morale of the defenders in the city, it was the corpses of the Xianbei infantry that emitted a disturbing black air and dehydrated and weathered in a short period of time.

Originally, there were many mysterious rumors circulating in Xiangping City. Although the Gongsun clan used various means to suppress them, the doubts of the soldiers and the people would not dissipate because of this. They were just buried deep in their hearts and prepared to attack at the right time.

Germinate again.

Obviously, the strange scenes happening in front of us are confirming the rumors that were originally considered to be fantasy.

As a result, in this era when prophecies are widely circulated, even if there are still a few knowledgeable people who do not believe in these things, the majority of ignorant people still would rather believe that they are true or false, let alone that they are not true.

This time, the supernatural phenomenon happened right in front of me. Even if I really wanted to refute it, I couldn't find even the slightest reason.

Perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, Qian Man used the trump card in his hand to continuously undermine the remaining morale of the Liaodong Allied Forces.

It seems that even if Qian Man does not take action, the Liaodong Allied Forces will probably fall into division after this.

If there are no accidents.

"A woodcutter in an unknown mountain is wearing plain white linen clothes.

The sharp ax captures the sky, and the broken blade shines in the sun.

Go up the mountain to eat deer and go down to the river to drink fish and shrimp.

Suddenly I heard that the thieves were coming, so I raised my knife and swung it forward.

For example, if you die in humiliation, what will happen if you behead your head?"

A person's singing voice rang out.

Hundreds of people sang.

Thousands of people sang.

Thousands and hundreds of thousands of people sang the same song.

A song is echoing throughout Xiangping City and beyond, a song that resonates with every living person inside and outside Xiangping City. The song is so loud, so powerful, and so uplifting.

human heart.

In this song that echoes the righteousness of a gentleman, those who were originally confused found their own path, those who were originally timid found the courage hidden in their chests, and those who were originally hesitant made up their minds to fight to the death.

The singing is soaring, the singing is echoing, and the singing seems to never stop.

Under this song full of fighting meaning, the Xianbei army, which hastily organized a second wave of attacks, found that their opponents had undergone earth-shaking changes. The originally extremely crazy Xianbei infantry met an opponent who was even more fearless of death. In this narrow encounter,

In a duel where the brave wins, the Xianbei infantry who are completely unafraid of death encounter an opponent blessed by a certain belief. Their reasons for fighting may not be the same, but their fighting will to fight against the same enemy can transcend the sky.

This is a battle between the living and the dead, and it is also a battle between faith and will.

Looking at the man who stood at the top of the city and sang loudly under the protection of the crowd, who was once thought to be just a hermit seeking fame, Gongsun Du remained silent for a long time. Perhaps at this moment, even he himself did not know what he was harboring.

How do you feel about the gentleman in white who saved the entire battle?

But no matter what, I finally managed to survive the first day of battle.

Pan Sen: I’m back from traveling, and I’m ready to relax. By the way, since I’m back early, I’m going to prepare a special episode for the May Day holiday. But I don’t seem to have much motivation, but I’m still having too much fun... (To be continued...
