Chapter 474: 237: Dangerous Situations Arise_3

Originally, soldiers were rotated every three days, later it changed to every two days, and then to the current rotation of once a day.

The soldiers are weary from the long battle, casualties are heavy daily, and morale is gradually decreasing.

Now we have only defended for such a short time, and the enemy has already managed to attack the city walls, it seems we have reached our limit.”

Chu Wei, who had been living on the city tower and commanding the defense since the beginning of the war, immediately said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Even though the enemy has a large number of people, there are still twenty thousand people in the city. It won’t be easy for them to break in.

Isn’t it just a group of Zhou people attacking us?

I’ll lead people there to drive them back.”

Lu Yuan shook his head: “Today might be fine, but what about tomorrow and the day after? The large army in the rear of Hanzhong is now scattered in various prefectures and counties, urging the people to evacuate.

It’s not easy to get them gathered quickly now.

It will take at least five more days before the earliest reinforcements can arrive. It’s hard to get through this period.

However, you are right. Allowing Zhou people to stay in the city is certainly a problem. It’s a great danger. Take your men and get them out of there.”

Chu Wei obeyed: “Yes!”

After the disciple left with his men, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.

Hanzhong Prefecture is thousands of miles wide with hundreds of counties.

Lu Yuan’s troops were scattered over such a large area, divided into dozens or even hundreds of small squads, spread across rural areas, urging local people to move.

Under such circumstances, it’s not easy to regroup at Xiegu Pass.

Even if gathered, the close prefectures and counties would be fine to reach. The further ones would take ten days to half a month just to travel, not arriving quickly either.

Although Lu Yuan had sent orders for reinforcements six days ago, there was not a single trace of the first reinforcement group to arrive so far.

According to the news from the rear, the Feng City and Taibai two governments near the Xiegu Pass had already assembled most of their troops and were just waiting for the remaining people to gather and then they would be able to arrive in five days.

But looking at the situation in the city, it’s a problem whether we can hold on for five days.

‘It’s a mistake!’

Lu Yuan felt some regret in his heart. He shouldn’t have left only thirty thousand people guarding the city. If he left fifty thousand people, the situation wouldn’t be so dire now.

But regret is useless now, he could only do his best to maintain the situation and hold on for five days.

After a day of fierce fighting, without distinguishing between day and night, the defenders in the city finally held on until the seventh day, at the cost of more than three thousand casualties.

However, the soldiers who had fought for the whole night didn’t even have time to rest before the Zhou people rushed up again.

Having no choice, they had to muster their spirits, pick up their chipped swords, and continue to fight against the Zhou people.

After two more days of fierce fighting, the number of defenders in the city had dropped to ten thousand. The surviving soldiers were all wounded and had very low morale due to the significant casualties.

Although the Zhou people had lost more than seventy thousand soldiers in the eight-day fierce attack, they still had more than two hundred thousand soldiers left, which was a strong force. Even seeing the hope of breaking through the city, their morale soared and their momentum was like a rainbow.

Under such circumstances, on the ninth day, the Zhou people only attacked for a short while, and more than a thousand of them climbed onto the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall were already struggling to withstand the ferocious offensive of the Zhou people and began to retreat in defeat.

It seemed as if they were about to lose the city wall, and this pass would be lost.

Lu Yuan knew it was time for him to take action.

“I will go and stop the Zhou people first. You go and pull out a team of fresh troops to fill the gaps.”

He turned to his disciple Chu Wei and said, then leaped into the air. A few clusters of Red Sun fierce flames burned around him, and his whole body, like a meteor fire, plunged violently into the crowd of Zhou people attacking the city.

With a few bangs,

The flames exploded, and the hundreds of closely packed Zhou people nearby were instantly burned to ashes before they could even scream.

Then Lu Yuan continued to kill the other Zhou people nearby. Within only a few moments, hundreds of Zhou people had died under his True Fire.

The nearby Changsha soldiers, who had been retreating, saw their king finally take action, turning the situation around with just one move, and couldn’t help but have a huge boost in morale.

They turned around, not afraid anymore, and fought back against the Zhou people.

On the other hand, the Zhou people, facing Lu Yuan’s attack, morale was greatly frustrated, and even fear began to take hold of their hearts, starting to retreat in defeat.

It seemed that they were about to be driven off the city walls.

At that moment, a red sharp arrow flew from afar, instantly sliding across the sky, and with a bang, exploded Lu Yuan’s True Fire.

After the arrow and fire collided, the true fire was extinguished, and the arrow still had remaining power, continuing to rush towards Lu Yuan.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but be shocked, quickly gathered his true fire to burn the arrow.

When he looked back, he saw a red-armored general, who had now descended onto a corner of the city wall’s upper floor, looking down at this side.

“He Basheng?”

“Lu Yuan?”

Two questioning voices sounded simultaneously, then fell at the same time, both guessing the other’s identity.

“So, it’s you.”

He Basheng looked at the extremely young man in front of him with a cold smile on his face: “Earlier you took advantage of Gui Lianyun and Zhang Chanyi’s carelessness, killing my two Pillar State generals, causing my Zhou country to fall into this situation.’

“Now you even dare to show your face in front of me, well, since you’re here, leave your life behind, and don’t leave today.”

After saying that, He Basheng drew his bow and arrow, and another red stream of light flew out, instantly killing Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan had learned from the previous sneak attack and was prepared this time.

Seeing the arrow coming, he greeted it with a cluster of True Fire. With a loud explosion, the broken arrow was blown away.

Then several clusters of True Fire roared and burned towards He Basheng.

However, the opponent shot a few arrows in return, exploding the True Fire one by one.

Even while blocking the attack, he didn’t forget to aim at Lu Yuan, continuously firing a few arrows, forcing him to dodge frantically, looking extremely embarrassed.

Upon the first exchange with this Zhou country’s North Pillar State Great General, Lu Yuan faced imminent danger.
