It was already late at night, but the lights were still bright in Maruto City, and there were bursts of shouts of killing from time to time. It was the unwillingness of the defeat that the Goguryeo people launched a counterattack against the Tang army and wanted to drive the Tang army out of the city. However, the Tang army had already prepared for defense. In their eyes, the Goguryeo people's counterattack seemed more like a struggle before dying.

There was constant war in the city, and Li Xiu in the rear naturally did not rest. In fact, the entire Tang army camp has been operating at high speed today. Let’s not talk about the soldiers on the front line. The logistics side is also under great pressure. Various supplies are needed in the front line, and meals are ready to be delivered to the front line at night. There are also felts for keeping warm, because the night in Marudu City has become very cold, and the drinking water will turn into ice after a while. If food and warm clothing are not supplied, many soldiers on the front line will be frozen to death.

The most troublesome thing is the various wounded soldiers sent back from the front line. Special wounded soldiers have been set up in the Tang army, and the method of wound suture has been promoted throughout the army, which greatly increases the survival rate of the soldiers, but this also increases the logistical pressure. Some soldiers are too seriously injured and should not be sent to the foot of the mountain. So Li Xiu asked someone to set up a wounded soldier in front of the city gate. There are soldiers waiting for treatment everywhere. Even if they have prepared in advance, the number of casualties is still beyond Li Xiu's expectations. In the end, even he himself went to the battlefield to treat him. After all, one more can be saved.

They were busy until the second half of the night, and the Goguryeo people in the city seemed to give up struggling, and the shouts of killing gradually stopped ringing. The number of Tang soldiers sent for treatment also decreased rapidly, which made Li Xiu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, allowing other medical officers to take over the wounded in their hands. After all, he was in charge of logistics, and there were other things in the army that he had to worry about.

However, when Li Xiu left the tent to treat the wounded, he found that blood was everywhere on his body, and even the blood on his clothes had formed blood scabs. This made him smile bitterly. Most of the wounded on the battlefield were miserable, and some even needed amputations. The severe pain would also make the wounded struggle. Although there was no mirror, he estimated that his face and head must be covered with blood.

Although his body was covered in blood, Li Xiu didn't care about this and was about to enter the city. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had already entered the city, and set up a commander's tent not far from the city gate. As the core of the entire army, to facilitate the command of the army's attack in the city. Li Xiu also wanted to find out what was going on in the city?

However, just as Li Xiu had just arrived at the gate of the city, he suddenly felt a chill on his forehead, and then white snowflakes fell down, which made him stunned. Then he raised his head and found that in the dark night sky, countless snowflakes flew with the breeze and finally fell on the blood-stained ground. In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with a layer of white snowflakes.

"It's still snowing at last!" Li Xiu reached out to take a few snowflakes and watched them slowly turn into water droplets in his hands. He sighed and felt a little bit of gratitude in his heart. Fortunately, the snow fell one day late, otherwise they might have returned in vain this time.

The snow was very strong and violent. After a while, a layer of snow fell on the ground, and it made a "squeaking" sound when stepped on it. The world was also white. Li Xiu came to Qin Qiong's tent under the heavy snow. He and Cheng Yaojin were also here. The two people who had been over a hundred years old together had no rest. At this time, their red eyes were opening their eyes and marking the defense lines between the enemy and us on the map. They issued an order from time to time, and the commanders in the room hurried out to convey.

Seeing Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin so busy, Li Xiu didn't dare to disturb them. The stove was burning in the room. Li Xiu first heated some water and washed his hands and faces, then boiled water and brewed a pot of strong tea. When he brought the tea to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, they discovered Li Xiu and said embarrassedly: "When did you come, Prince Concubine?"

"I've been here for a while. I just rescued the wounded in the wounded barracks. The war now seems not too tight, so I'll find out the situation. In addition, if there is any need for logistics, please give me instructions!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time, and tasted a bitter strong tea. Although the taste was not good, it could at least make people feel energetic.

"Nothing is serious for the time being, but tomorrow morning you must ensure that the soldiers on the front line have a hot meal, because tomorrow is the time to fight against Quangai Suwen, and there is nothing in your stomach and you can't fight!" Qin Qiong also took a sip of the tea. At this time, both sides are competing for logistics and materials. The worse the natural conditions, the more important the role of this logistics will be.

"No problem, but it's snowing outside. Can you still attack yesterday?" Li Xiu nodded immediately, but then asked again. The snow outside was falling heavily. Although they attacked the city, it might also affect the attack.

"It's snowing outside?" Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin were also stunned when they heard Li Xiu's words. Then they quickly walked to the door and took a look, but their brows also frowned.

"It's already the fourth day, and it's nearly two hours before dawn. If it keeps falling so heavily, I'm afraid the snow on the ground will be half a foot deep, which will definitely affect tomorrow's attack." Cheng Yaojin also frowned at this time and said, "Maruto City is built in the abdomen of the mountain. The terrain is already complicated. Now that it's time to encounter such heavy snow, it will definitely increase the difficulty of tomorrow's attack.

"General Qin, what's the situation in the city now? How many places have we controlled? Where are the Goguryeo people hiding again?" Li Xiulai's purpose was to inquire about the situation in the city, and now he finally has the opportunity to ask.

"Our army has occupied half of the Marudu City. Now the remaining Goguryeo people retreated to the northern area, which is also the core area of ​​the Marudu City. The royal palace of Goguryeo is also there. Now the Goguryeo people blocked the streets and built another line of defense. It seems that they are planning to fight with us for the last soldier!" Qin Qiong introduced at this time, but when he said this, his brows were also frowning. After all, it would be even more difficult to defeat the Goguryeo people tomorrow after this heavy snow.

When Li Xiu heard that Maruto had only occupied half of the city, his heart couldn't help but become a little heavy. Although the number of Tang troops was not superior, their combat effectiveness was far above the Goguryeo people, even so, they only occupied half of the city after fighting for a day and a night. This was just because Goguryeo was familiar with the terrain, and it seemed that they also planned to live and die with Maruto, otherwise it would be impossible to fight so tenaciously.
