Chapter 232 (1/2)

After a whole day of brutal siege, with the sun slowly falling down, Han had no choice but to call in the troops.

The siege had lasted for three days, and the city walls were covered with arrows and traces of knives and axes. The city guards picked up the arrows shot by the enemy on the city head and dragged down the bodies of the dead soldiers.

After a full three-day siege, Han Sui lost nearly 10000 soldiers, while Liu Ye's army also suffered more than 5000 casualties. Generally speaking, the proportion was not so high. In the city defense war, the proportion of soldiers on the side guarding the city was far lower than that on the attacking side. The most famous one was the battle of Chencang. Hao Zhao used 3000 soldiers to resist Zhuge Liang's 20 day siege.

Chencang is an important town in the western part of Guanxi with perfect defense, while Xiangwu city is only a small county town. Especially with the depletion of materials for guarding the city such as rolling wood and stone, Liu Ye's army can only fight with the enemy in short combat except bows and arrows, so the casualties of soldiers are huge.

However, Liu Ye personally supervises the battle. The new soldiers in the Army take turns to fight the enemy. The soldiers in the army have experienced the test of blood and fire, which is a good thing.

After nightfall.

An army approached Han Suijun in the dark.

”Have you informed the general?”

”Don't worry, Yu Xiaowei, it's done. What's next?”

”Beat the drum!” he said with a smile

Guan Hai was shocked: ”we soldiers, this is not to hit the stone with eggs?”

”You don't have to fight to beat the drum.” The corners of Yu's mouth rose with an upward arc.

For a moment, the sound of war drums rumbled, which suddenly awakened Han Sui from his dream.

”Who is going to fight on the drum?”

”Father in law!”

Yan Xing rushes into the account. Han then asks in a hurry: ”Liu Ye is out of the city to attack at night?”

Yan Xing shook his head: ”it seems that a reinforcements of Liu Ye's army are beating drums outside the city.”

Han then nodded: ”you speed 5000 iron horse to resist, so this order army sergeant soldier.”

Yan Xing was ordered to go. He led 5000 iron cavalry out of the camp. He saw a camp in front of him. Without saying a word, he led the army to rush in. He rushed to the sound drum, but he was stunned.

More than ten drums were seen in the barracks, and more than a dozen sheep were caught hanging upside down on the drums. The hooves of the sheep were pounding on the surface of the drums, making a rumbling sound.

”Dangyang drums?”

Yan Xing was stunned and immediately felt that he had been played.

……

”General!”

Yu Jin, slightly excited, stepped forward.

”Wenze, it's hard for you. If it wasn't for Wen Ze, he would lead the army to level the kingdom first and then break Zhang Heng. I'm afraid that Han Sui's old bandit army would have swept into Tianshui county.”

Liu Ye laughs. He grabs Yu Jin's hand. He can't help but feel a little lucky. But for Yu's quick reaction, the situation would be quite bad.
