On the north wall of Moxi City, covered with corpses, life disappeared at any time, screams and shouts of killing came one after another. A Khitan soldier had just climbed up the city wall and killed a civilian from Moxi City with a knife. He was hugged by an injured woman, and flipped off the wall from the wall together, and fell to death under the city wall at the same time.

A garrison leader of a Moxi City defender had just cut off two Khitan soldiers who had climbed the city wall. He was shot through his neck by an arrow shot from the Khitans outside the city and fell onto the stacked bodies.

"Kill--" After General Gong Xun of the bandit waved his long sword and killed a Khitan general, the Khitans' attacks on the north wall of Moxi City were finally repelled, and General Gong Xun of the bandit was already covered with scars at this time, with at least seven or eight wounds on his body.

Gong Xun leaned on the hilt of the long sword in his hand to the ground, gasping for breath. The Khitan general who had just fought with him was not weak in martial arts. Although Gong Xun successfully killed the Khitan general, he was exhausted and had a knife wound on his body.

At this time, Gong Yi, the eldest son, who was also covered in blood, walked to Gong Xun, "Father, can we still hold on to it today?"

It is now the morning of October 30, 426, the third day after the Khitan army besieged the city. Although the four walls of Moxi City have not been broken, Moxi City has basically reached the end of its reach.

On the first day of the Khitan army's siege, they sent only a team of 10,000 people to the siege, which caused 5,000 losses to Moxi City. Among them, the defenders of Moxi City lost more than 1,300 people, and the young and strong men in the city lost more than 3,700 people.

When the Khitan army began a full-scale attack, the losses of Moxi City suddenly doubled. The day after the Khitan army siege, Moxi City lost nearly 18,000 people, of which more than 2,700 defenders lost more than 8,000 young men in the city lost more than 7,300 people, and the remaining more than 7,300 were women, young and old. In order to resist the Khitan siege, the men, women, young and old in Moxi City had mobilized to climb the city wall to help the defenders of Moxi City defend the city.

On the third day after the Khitan army besieged the city, there were only less than a thousand defenders left in the city, and there were more than 8,000 young men, nearly 20,000 women, young men and elderly people. As for the other thousands of people in the city, they were almost all children under the age of ten, and these children could not help defend the city.

However, before the morning passed, the losses of thousands of people were added to Moxi City, especially the relatively strong defenders, and there were not many people.

Gong Xun did not answer the question of his eldest son Gong Yi, but looked at Gong Yi, covered in blood, and asked: "Does the injury on his body matter?"

Gong Yi immediately said: "Don't worry, my father, most of the blood on my body is from the Khitans. I was just scratched by a few holes on my body, and there was nothing serious!"

When Gong Xun heard this, he said, "Then you should quickly lead the elite soldiers under your command to the west wall for support. Now the situation on the other three walls is very serious. For my father, I can only use the elite soldiers under your command as a firefighting team."

Gong Yi looked back at the soldiers under his command, and a gloomy look flashed by. There were originally 600 elite soldiers under Gong Yi who had been trained for many years, and in the battle to defend the city, he also added nearly 400 brave men among the young and strong men in the city. However, at this time, only six or seventy soldiers were left under his command, and the rest had already died on the city wall.

Gong Yi nodded and said, "Father, then you stay on the northern city wall and be careful to prevent the Khitans from attacking again. I will take people to the western city wall. If the Khitans in the western city wall are repelled, I will take people to the southern city wall. When the southern city wall is safe, I will take people to the eastern city wall!"

Gong Xun said sadly at this time: "Yi'er, you have to be careful. Now you and Zhong'er are the only ones left for your father. I don't want to send black hair to you anymore! In addition, one hundred people will be transferred from the north city wall... No, two hundred civil servants will be transferred, and you will take them to the west city wall together. Be sure to guard the city wall. As long as one side of the city wall is thrown away, Moxi City will be finished!"

While defending the city, Gong Xun's three sons Gong Xin, Gong Da and Gong Chengdu died on the city wall. The four nephews Gong Tong, Gong Wu, Gong Yun, Gong Ke were the best martial arts Gong Wu, and Gong Ke, and there were only Gong Wu, who had the best martial arts skills, who was still alive. The Gong family in Moxi had one lion and nine tigers, and now there were only one lion and three tigers left. This shows the tragic battle in the city defense.

Just as Gong Xun finished speaking, a soldier dressed in iron armor ran over from one end of the northern city wall, "General! General! Reinforcements are coming! The Khitans attacking the eastern city wall retreat!"

When the soldier ran to Gong Xun, Gong Xun quickly asked, "What's going on? Tell me quickly! What's going on? Are reinforcements really coming?"

The soldier said to Gong Xun with a look of ecstasy: "General, the reinforcements are really here. We can see clearly on the east wall. A cavalry army came from the east. This cavalry army is huge in number and there is no end to see from afar. It is attacking the flag of our Jin State. After the Khitans discovered this cavalry army, they stopped siege!"

Gong Xun and Gong Yi then looked at each other, and their faces showed excitement, "Father, Grandpa Liu is here! It must be Grandpa Liu who has brought troops to rescue our Moxi City!"

"At this time, the only troops under Liu Ji's command were able to appear outside Moxi City. Fortunately, Liu Ji did not refuse to save him, otherwise our Moxi City might not even be able to survive today."

This army from the east was the sixteen cavalry battalions, four infantry battalions, guard battalions, and 16,000 Uighur cavalry led by Liu Ji.

Originally, Liu Ji led the 200,000 troops to set off early yesterday morning, but the pasture south of Xishankou where the 200,000 troops were located was nearly 380 miles away from Moxi City. Even because of the large number of war horses in Liu Ji's hands, the infantry under Liu Ji also rode the war horses, the 200,000 troops still rushed for more than a day and arrived outside Moxi City on the morning of October 30th.

This is because Liu Ji gave up a large amount of supplies in order to quickly rescue Moxi City, and only asked all the soldiers to carry some of the military rations on the backs of the war horses. Otherwise, the nearly 380-mile road would have to march for at least three or four days.

After Liu Ji, the King of Youli of Khitan, Yelu Qi, the King of Youxin, and Yelu Ge, the King of Zuoli, got Liu Ji and led the army to Moxi City, they ordered the Khitan troops who were sieging the city from the four walls of Moxi City to stop siege and retreat.
