This tentative battle lasted for about an hour. After Mo Chao's men lost hundreds of lives, the not-so-harsh battle was temporarily over.

Of course, what is not tragic here is just the intensity of the battle. After all, there are not many people under Mo Chao's command who even climbed the city wall, so the battle is not tragic.

But for those who siege the city, they were splashed with gold juice, but in this case, it was obvious that no one would care about them. They were still wailing and were directly carried to the wounded barracks.

However, burns from golden juice will definitely lead to infection. With the current medical level, if these wounded soldiers want to survive, they can only pray for God to protect them.

Ducang, whose voice was hoarsely shouted above the city wall, could finally rest for a while. He looked at the slowly retreating army below and couldn't help but sigh: "Advance and retreat are orderly and progress well. Although Mo Chao is a little frivolous, he is still a good general. I am not as good as him in commanding the army."

Although he had almost no losses in the battle just now, this was entirely due to the fact that he was the defender of the city, and the two sides did not fight fairly at all. In addition, Mo Chao is just a tentative attack now, so it is normal for him to lose some losses.

Du Cang knew very well about himself. He was just a little anxious and experienced. He didn't know anything about commanding troops at all. At his level, if he met Mo Chao outside the city, even if both sides had equal strength, he would be beaten to death by him.

"Um."

Du Yu nodded and agreed with Du Cang's statement. He himself is a battlefield-hardened person, and he is a archer who needs to pay attention to the overall situation at all times. Therefore, he can still see the strength of the general.

In his opinion, Mo Chao still has some command ability, and Mo Chao himself is also very strong, so it will be even more difficult to defend Cangyi City.

"Transfer the soldiers just now to the city walls on both sides."

Ducang thought for a while and said, "After the battle just now, although they are not qualified soldiers, at least they will not be in a hurry. Putting them on the walls on the other two sides can also improve the combat effectiveness there."

Du Yu thought for a moment and guessed Du Cang's thoughts. He frowned and asked, "Mr. Du thinks Mo Chao will attack the other two walls?"

"It's hard to say."

Du Cang shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm watching you on the front battlefield. Even if he is the main attack, I'm not very worried. In comparison, although the other two sides have slightly more troops, because they don't have a backbone, the strength they can exert may be a little weaker."

"So, we can only transfer these people who have some experience to them, and we can make a little stronger."

Hearing Du Cang's helpless words, Du Yu couldn't help but remain silent. After years of being in the border army, he had never fought such a huge battle with a huge gap in strength. With less than 2,000 to 30,000, a nearly ten-fold gap in military strength. If they were not the defender of the city and could recruit people to defend the city, he would not even try.

"Mo Chao has finished testing, and he won't make a small fuss like this next time. At that time, I'll bother you."

Du Cang looked at Du Yu with a hint of apology. He didn't want to involve Du Yu, but if Du Yu didn't come, Cangyi City would not be able to defend it at all, so after hesitating for a long time, he decided to call Du Yu over.

Although this decision was a bit sorry for Du Yu, he really had no other way. He really didn't want to hand it over to the traitor like King Yu.

"Sir, I'm so rude."

Looking at the apology in Du Cang's eyes, Du Yu smiled indifferently. He touched the giant bow behind him, then reached out to take it off from behind. When the cannon fodder came to attack the city just now, he didn't take any action.

After all, although he is a bone-forging warrior, his physical strength is still limited, and the giant bow in his hand is specially made. Even with his strength, even if he pulls half a full shot, he can shoot for half an hour without interruption.

Now this battle is likely to last more than one day, so if he wants to maintain his combat effectiveness for a long time, he has to consider it. He can only take action at critical moments, otherwise blindly taking action will lead to no strength to shoot arrows later, and the result will undoubtedly be even worse.

Thinking of this, Du Yu felt a little regretful. It was a pity that he was not in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, otherwise he would have taken action unscrupulously. If that were the case, even if Du Yu had a greater than ten times the gap in military strength, he would have the confidence to defend Cangyi City.

Under the city, Mo Chao, who ordered the soldiers who siege the city to retreat, narrowed his eyes slightly at the walls of Cangyi City. Although there was no gain in this siege, he was already confident in it.

"The soldiers who attacked the city just now were all new recruits, and even the most basic soldiers were not even equipped. But in this case, they could still attack the city wall and cause some riots on the city wall, which means that the soldiers on the city wall were likely to be all new recruits."

Mo Chao thought about the situation when the soldiers attacked the city just now and nodded silently, "It seems that although Ducang is ready, he has not solved the problem of military strength so easily."

"If this is the case, then I will settle this Cangyi City!"

After making a decision in my heart, Mo Chao did not immediately ask the soldiers to attack the city, but called the deputy general and said, "Build the pot and make rice. After dinner, I will put all my troops on. I will take down Cangyi City today."

"Press up all?"

Deputy General Li was stunned for a moment, and just a simple test, he directly pressed on all the staff. Is this a bit too impulsive? "Second Master, I am worried that Cangyi City may hide its strength. Should we be more cautious?"

"unnecessary!"

Mo Chao shook his head firmly and rejected Deputy General Li's proposal, "The opportunity must not be lost. If we continue to use this tactic of adding fuel to the city wall, we will have to pay more losses if we want to capture Cangyi City."

"After all, we are the siege party, and we are innately at a disadvantage. If we can fight quickly, don't delay them. After all, the military force is not transformed out of thin air. Just let it go. If an army enters Cangyi City, my Prince Yu's Mansion will not be able to receive the news."

Mo Chao looked cold and harsh. Although he was arrogant, he had one of the biggest advantages, which was his decisiveness. Although such people may easily fall into other people's traps, they will never miss the opportunity.

Seeing that Mo Chao had made up his mind, Deputy General Li stopped talking. After all, Mo Chao was the coach here, so he had the final say on how to play.

...

After the army finished breakfast, Mo Chao directly divided the troops into three groups and launched an attack from the three walls at the same time. He himself stayed on the front battlefield and waited for an opportunity to move.

This battle was different from the tentative attack in the morning. The soldiers Mo Chao pressed this time were mainly elite soldiers. These elite soldiers not only had complete armor, but even had a few shields. Under the protection of these equipment, the lethality of the archers on the city was greatly weakened.

"If you climb to the city first, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the official will be given a level of one!"

The supervising officer held up the banner in his hand and spoke to motivate the soldiers who were sieging the city. However, as soon as he finished shouting this sentence, a huge arrow shot from the city wall immediately, directly blowing his upper body into blood mist.

Du Yu stood above the city, his eyes emitting sharp eyes like hawk's eyes, constantly searching for targets on the battlefield. The frequency of the bow and arrow in his hand was not high, but every time he made a move, he would have a commander of more than one length to take his life.

The general on the front battlefield was actually killed by him for a moment and he didn't even dare to command his soldiers.

But they stopped talking, and the soldiers who were uncontrolled suddenly turned into headless flies. Some of them didn't know how to act, and the entire battlefield suddenly became a little confused.

Seeing this scene, Mo Chao gritted his teeth and ordered: "Let the archer advance two hundred steps, aim at the archer, and shoot him as long as he shows up!"

"Two hundred steps forward?"

When Deputy General Li heard this, he hurriedly said, "Second Young Master, this is absolutely not allowed."

"If we have a two hundred steps ahead, we will enter the enemy's attack range, but we have no wells. In this way, our archers will be the target when they are attacked from a high position."

"It's okay, we have a lot of people."

Mo Chao felt a little distressed when he pushed the archer out to die, but he had no choice. If he could not suppress the magic archer in the place, the generals on the front battlefield would not dare to emerge at all. If there was no commander like this, the battle would be impossible.

After pondering for a while, Mo Chao added: "Let's do this, transfer some of the shield soldiers to protect them, tell them that no matter how much they lose, they must keep an eye on the archer to death. They must not let her take action again."

After Deputy General Li went down to pass the order, Mo Chao looked at the tall figure on the top of the city with a gloomy face. Although the number of divine archers was very small, they were extremely difficult to deal with. Their range was long and the accuracy was high. As long as they were seen by them on the battlefield, it was like the King of Hell being named.

It is said that the divine archers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were developed by imitating barbarian archers. At that time, the barbarians seemed to have a whole army of archers of such strength. Now they are facing one, so it's so troublesome. I really don't know how Emperor Gaozu solved the problem of facing a whole army of divine archers at that time.

On the city wall, seeing Mo Chao's archers pressing forward, Du Yu quickly realized that these archers were targeting him, so he put away his quiver with regret and immediately moved to a place.

Just after he left, a wave of arrows fell on the city wall. Although most of them were blocked by the city wall, the remaining ones still caused great casualties to the army on the city wall.

The sharp arrows directly penetrated the human body. The people who were shot into the vital area were better, and they almost died on the spot, while those who were shot and did not die on the spot were wailing in pain.

Looking at the bloody scene on the battlefield, the people who had never been on the battlefield were immediately frightened. It was just a rain of arrows, and there were faint signs of collapse on the top of the city.

"Why are you just standing there? Keep throwing stones down!"

Ducang looked at the scene here and immediately arranged for someone to lift the wounded down, then roared loudly: "Isn't moving yet, are you waiting for them to come up and kill you?"

"Hurry up, move, the archers turn the targets for me, give me priority to shooting the archers raised by the bastards in the city, don't give them a second chance!"

Under the roar of Ducang, the situation at the city wall was quickly stabilized, but the situation did not improve much. The strength of the elite soldiers was not comparable to those cannon fodders in the morning. They were facing the gold juice and stones on the city wall, and some people were afraid of it.

At this moment, the siege entered a fierce hand-to-hand battle. A siege soldier climbed onto the top of the city and just reached his hand on the wall. The soldiers guarding the city immediately cut off his palm, and he immediately screamed and fell down.

Just after he fell down, another siege soldier took the opportunity to climb up and took advantage of the time when the city guard was too late to withdraw his sword, he pierced the chest of the city guard soldier with one knife. However, in the next moment, several siege soldiers stabbed him into his body.

Thinking of this kind of scene, there are many people on the city walls. Although the soldiers who attacked the city suffered heavy losses, as they gradually climbed to the top of the city and stood firm, the losses of the defenders were gradually expanding.

"Mr. County Magistrate, this is not a solution!"

The city gate official slashed a soldier who had just climbed up the city and said to Ducang: "The soldiers' casualties are too great. If we continue like this, we will not be able to defend for a whole morning!"

Du Cang wiped blood on his face, his face looked very ugly. He didn't expect that Mo Chao would be so decisive in using troops. The 30,000 troops were directly pressed up. Now he has such a great pressure on the front battlefield, let alone the other two walls.

Thinking of this, Ducang took a deep breath and said, "Let the reserve team go to the future without thinking, let's defend today first."

To defend the city this time, Ducang made a lot of plans, and even when he had only this little force in his hand, he also assigned a reserve team.

Of course, most of the reserve team are newly recruited militias, with a little more people, and their strength is not only mentioned. In his plan, this reserve team would go to the city wall in batches to train, so that they can gradually adapt to the battle on the battlefield.

It just depends on the current situation. There is no need for any reserve team. If they are not allowed to join, they can't even guard this morning.

Under Ducang's order, this new force quickly joined the battle. Although their combat effectiveness was not good, the number of people quickly suppressed the arrogance of the siege soldiers and fought them again.

Mo Chao tried to organize manpower attacks several times, and on several occasions he even took the battle to capture several sections of the city walls himself. Unfortunately, under the threat of Du Yu and Arc Arc, the city wall he captured was recaptured by Du Cang before he could be held for too long.

The bloody battle lasted all day, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Mo Chao's 30,000 troops broke into six or seven thousand people. Most of the troops on the top of Ducang City were killed, and the reserve teams also suffered heavy losses.

Overall, the battle loss ratio between the two sides can reach about 2 to 1, but Mo Chao lost all the elite soldiers, so even if they were defending the city, they would suffer a little.

But Mo Chao didn't care about these things. Although the casualties in Ducang were not as high as those of his own, they were fewer.

After this stop, the army guarding the city of Ducang was almost killed by itself. When I rested for a night, I would definitely take down Cangyi City tomorrow!

But when he was determined to take down Cangyi City tomorrow, he received an urgent secret letter from Prince Yu's mansion.
Chapter completed!
