Chapter 397 contrast

In Shudu, the dead atmosphere has still not dissipated. All the Shu monks have long lost their vitality and the scenery of the previous southern expedition to the north. The defense of Shu will be a complete purgatory-like test for these people. Not only physical, but also spiritual.

Chen Chuan stood on the wall and looked at the more and more majestic Jinzhu army in the distance under the city. Looking back at the Shu soldiers in Shudu, he couldn't help sighing deeply.

"How many days has it been?" Chen Chuan suddenly asked the guard beside him.

The guard was used to Chen Chuan's brainless problem and naturally replied, "It's the third day."

"It's only the third day." Chen Chuan said sadly, "Why is it only the third day? I thought I had been defending the city for two years." After Chen Chuan finished speaking, the guard beside him was immediately silent, and suddenly his nose turned his head aside.

The monks who are still sticking in Shudu are all tough men.

This is the evaluation of many monks in the Jinzhu army. The two-day siege made the Jinzhu army also know the strong fighting power of the Shu army. Previously, when they tested the attack, they did not find how good the Shu army was at fighting. They also had some light enemies. As a result, they really suffered a big loss in the hands of the Shu army in the official siege. However, such a war aroused the stronger fighting spirit of the monks of the Jinzhu Army, and the war became more in full swing.

However, as the saying goes, they don't fight and don't know each other. Although the fierce battle of only two days made the monks of the Jinzhu Army really realize the strength of the Shu army, they also made them admire the monks of the Shu army very much. Especially the general of the Shu army who always stood on the wall. Although he did not have superpower, he never moved a step since the Jinzhu army attacked the city. He really stood on the wall like a rock to supervise the battle. The monk of the Jinzhu army who died in his hand was unknown, and finally his two arms were broken by Li Mingyang, but even if Therefore, he did not retreat to the city, but invited guards to help him wave the flag.

In the face of such a tough guy, even Li Mingyang admired him and finally decided not to hit him...

However, although they have fought with each other, as the battle continued, after the Jinzhu army lost more than 10,000 monks in two days, the Jinzhu army's offensive began to become more violent.

Suddenly, Chen Chuan's eyelids turned his head in a panic and looked in the other direction of Shudu, and his eyes were full of worry. However, the siege on this side continued. The wall defended by Chen Chuan was under the most fierce attack of the Jinzhu army. He did not dare to walk easily and could only wait anxiously.

After a long time, the violent fluctuation of breath in the distance began to slowly weaken, and then waited for a while before the monk hurried to come.

"Your Excellency, just now, Nancheng was lost, and a team of Jinzhu army monks rushed into the city to kill. After a fight, they were blocked back by General Song Bo. Now we have regained the gate of Nancheng."

Listening to the war report, Chen Chuan couldn't help but worry a little more: "They actually came in." Then he looked at the monk Chen Chuan and continued to ask, "How about General Song Bo? What about the loss of our people?"

"They only rushed in a thousand people, but at the time of a piece of incense, we were killed by more than 4,000 people. General Song Bo... General Song Bo was cut off one arm."

"Ah!" Chen Chuan staggered and almost fell down. This news really hit him. Now in Shudu, only Song Bo, an old man, has been fighting side by side with him. Although his arms have been discounted by the madman commander in the Jinzhu army, if he finds some elixir after the war, it is not irreversible. But if the arm is cut off, the loss to a monk is too great, especially Song Bo, who is a refining monk with two knives.

"Go back and guard the city." Although Chen Chuan was very worried about the safety of his old friends, he could only give a dry exhortation in the end when he thought of the ongoing war, and then continued to give orders to the guards and try his best to guard the city.

Just during the war, looking at the brave and good monks of the Jinzhu army in the city, Chen Chuan's thoughts began to fly to the south city.

"In a short time, 4,000 people were killed, and they only used 1,000 people. This is the rumored Jinzhu military sharp knife." Chen Chuan secretly analyzed that he couldn't help shivering when he thought of the horrible fighting power and destroying the six Xuanjie entrance strongholds in Shu County one after another.

"Four thousand strong people in the virtual spiritual realm, if such a team really pull out a bloody battle, maybe they can capture Shudu in a day." Chen Chuan said with emotion, but after saying that, his eyes were a little more sad.

Li Mingyang holds hundreds of thousands of soldiers and has a horrible sharp knife team, but when attacking Shudu, he uses such a blunt knife to cut meat, which seems to consume a lot, but this is a way to win with minimal consumption.

Chen Chuan knows very well that if the 4,000 virtual spiritual monks under Li Mingyang attack together, it is not difficult to forcibly attack the city. It is also very simple for them to kill in Shudu. It turns out that they can kill 4,000 enemies in the city with only 1,000 people. The name of the sharp knife really lives up to its reputation. But the positive decisive battle can never be solved by personal force. Even if they really attack the city, they don't need to mobilize hundreds of thousands of Shu troops to encircle and suppress them. They only need 30,000 or 40,000 monks with moderate cooperation to drag them to death. Although they may still win in the end, they are sure They will also suffer great losses, and the monks in the sharp knife team have to die at least 70%.

With the containment of the sharp knife team and the combination of the Jinzhu army, they may be able to sweep the capital of Shu in a day, but if they rush like this, before the morale of the Shu army is completely dissipated, they will naturally fight with them to the end. In the end, if the Jinzhu army does not pay more than 200,000 casualties, and then If you lose about 50% of the strong, it is definitely impossible to end the battle.

But if he can win in this way, he can definitely shock the whole Central Plains. In less than a year, Li Mingyang has changed from a young man who is only a little famous to a newcomer in the Central Plains with two counties. No one will refuse such achievements, and no young people will refuse to Add a more brilliant existence to such a record.

But Li Mingyang refused. Maybe he is a more pragmatic person, but from the information collected from more aspects, it can be seen that Li Mingyang is more because he doesn't want to see a large number of his men die in battle.

"It's really a benevolent teenager. How can such a person become a qualified commander?" Thinking of Li Mingyang's character, Chen Chuan still doesn't agree with it. However, looking at the Jinzhu army under the city, Chen Chuan couldn't help saying bitterly in his heart, "But any of his subordinates hope to meet such a commander."

The third day of the war was finally over, but everyone knew that this was only a short end. Although the Jinzhu army did not choose to attack the city in order to avoid a large number of casualties, it used the most time to kill the morale and belief of the defenders - to attack the city day and night.

Although this siege method does not have much effect at first glance, the siege is not fierce enough every day, and even they are not besieging the city. If the Shu army wants to leave now, it can escape, as long as it is not a large army together, there is absolutely no problem. But this way of attacking the city is the most effective now.

The siege does not seem to be a flaw, but it is the best offensive battle. This gives all the Shu troops guarding Shu an idea - if they really can't defeat it, they can still escape. Although the Shu army monks are still fighting, even Chen Chuan can't guarantee that his monks don't have such an idea.

And another more important thing is the outside world of the defense monks. The Jinzhu army attacked the city day and night, but they took the initiative. The Shu monks did not even dare to rest. This is only the third day. If it lasts for a few more days, Chen Chuan knows that the city will definitely not be able to defend.

Unfortunately, knowing that this will be the case, they still need to continue to stick to here. Such despair has begun to spread in the hearts of all Shu monks, so today's Shu will become such a strange appearance. Obviously, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, but it is like a dead city. It seems that they have lost their hearts and souls.

Chen Chuan often sighs that if Li Mingyang is just a person, it is absolutely impossible for him to form a Jinzhu army, and it is impossible for him to achieve such an achievement, but there are all kinds of talents around him, from talented commanders to powerful generals. What's more terrible is that these people really support him. According to rumors, they are selfish They all get along with each other as brothers.

Thinking of this, Chen Chuan suddenly subconsciously looked at the Jinzhu army that was resting under the city and looked at each other from afar. He happened to see the big man in the front of the battle array. The strong general sitting on the ground like a hill. Although he was far away, Chen Chuan was still subconscious when he thought of his violent performance on the battlefield. My heart trembled.

But such a terrorist general who frightened the enemy on the battlefield now sits on the ground like a simple and honest brother next door. The playful female monk tried to jump on his shoulder again and again, but was blocked by his big hand again and again. Although the distance is very far away, Chen Chuan always feels There should be a simple smile on his face. Suddenly, Chen Chuan saw Li Mingyang quietly running behind the big man and hugging his arm. The female Xiu stepped on the big man's shoulder and looked up proudly and laughed.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chuan also seemed to be infected, standing there smiling with envy on his face. The guard beside him secretly glanced at his general and found that the general was laughing. He was stunned.

"Can this city still be defended?" Suddenly, Chen Chuan muttered.
