Some shot arrows, some threw stones, some pushed ladders in front of the city gates. One after another, they charged up.
Everyone was filled with hatred as they charged up without fear of death!
Feng Lingtian saw this and quickly ordered people to throw stones to resist. Chu Xuanchen saw this and quickly ordered the Chu army to kill those who threw stones. After they killed one batch, another batch of Tian Sheng soldiers charged up and threw stones.
To defend the city, Feng Lingtian mobilized three times the usual number of soldiers. Now that the Chu army was attacking fiercely, he had to mobilize more soldiers to defend the city. Otherwise, the city would be easily breached!
He didn't expect the Chu army to be so courageous. They charged up without fear of death. Even the commoners were willing to die bravely. This kind of Chu army made him afraid!
He had always felt that the Chu people were cultured. He despised the Chu people for being cultured and preaching about propriety, justice, shame, benevolence, righteousness, and morality. He thought that the Chu people were a bunch of weak people and were not as courageous as the Tian Sheng people.
Today, he realized that the Chu people were so strong. They were so united, willing to sacrifice themselves and die tragically!
In this siege, the Chu army killed until their eyes turned red. However, because the Tian Sheng army had too many soldiers, everyone fought until they were exhausted and couldn't take down the city!
Seeing that the soldiers were covered in blood and exhausted, but they were still rushing forward dauntlessly, Chu Xuanchen felt that he could not force the attack anymore. In order to preserve his strength, he retreated and led the army back to the camp to rest.
Feng Lingtian saw the Chu army retreat and let out a breath of relief.
Chen Wei said, "Crown prince, it seems that the Chu people don't have any guts. They ran when they couldn't take down the city. They aren't our match!"
Feng Lingtian's face was cold, "Don't be happy too early. Although they didn't break in this time, our casualties are more than theirs. Chen Wei, I told you to send people to continue transporting grain. Has the new grain arrived yet? "
Chen Wei hurriedly said, "Crown prince, this is the border. It takes at least fifteen days to transport grain from the country. The grain will arrive in ten days."
Feng Lingtian looked up at the sky, "It seems that we still have to hold on for ten days. Pass down the order to continue searching for grain from the Yan people. We must hold on for ten days!"
"Yes, Crown Prince," Chen Wei replied.
Although they managed to defend the city this time, Feng Ling Tian had a heavy expression on his face. He calculated that their rations would only last them for three days.
If they didn't end the battle quickly, the situation would be very unfavorable for them.
Rations and fodder were the foundation of victory. It was all Chu Xuanchen's fault for intercepting his rations and fodder. He sent people to investigate the whereabouts of that batch of rations and fodder, but to no avail. It was as if those rations and fodder had disappeared. He wanted to send troops to rob Chu Xuanchen of their provisions, but Chu Xuanchen's morale was high, their troops were strong and their horses were strong, so it was not that easy to rob them.
He had never been so anxious before, because his opponent was Chu Xuanchen.
"Crown Prince, we have captured The Emperor of Jin and his generals!" At this moment, the voice of a young general came from the side.
Feng Lingtian frowned, "The Emperor of Jin, Chu Tianyu, is the eldest son of the Hongyuan Emperor?"
"Yes, Crown Prince. The Emperor of Jin is the son of the Empress. The Empress of the Chu Country loves her son so much. Now that we have him as a hostage, we can force Chu Xuanchen to retreat! Chu Xuanchen can ignore the lives of the people, but he can't ignore the lives of the princes, right? "Chen Wei said coldly.
Feng Lingtian frowned, "Not necessarily. In Chu Xuanchen's heart, The Emperor of Jin's life may not be as important as the lives of the people! Lock them up first, we'll talk later! "
"Yes."
