The battlefield where Wang Da zhi was situated was only one-third of the entire battlefield.

Nangcheng, Dongcheng, and Beicheng were simultaneously subjected to intense attacks by the Liao army, with Dongcheng facing the greatest pressure. Therefore, Wu Banshan personally went to Dongcheng to take command.

His situation here is far more serious than in Nancheng.

After repelling the Liao army's sixth attack on the city wall, Wu Ban Shan personally took to the front lines. He propped himself up with his sword and sat heavily on the ground, gasping for breath.

Sweat mingled with blood streamed down his cheeks, dripping from his chin into the armor.

The armor, already soaked through with sweat, was now a searing pain against his wounds. But Wu Ban Shan seemed oblivious to it all.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the fact that the Liao army was also resting, he turned to look at the soldiers around him. Seeing that his men, although mostly bearing wounds and fatigue, were still gritting their teeth and moving supplies in an orderly manner, and carrying down their wounded comrades who had lost their fighting ability for treatment, his heart finally settled a little.

Although the situation is extremely difficult, morale remains high.

"General!"

A shout drew Wu BanShan's attention to the logistics officer who had spoken.

Wu Ban Shan frowned.

Now he sees the logistics people and his head aches.

There's no other explanation. The moment these people show up, it means bad news is coming.

“Indeed,” the officer said, “General, our supplies are running low, especially the boulders and logs. At this rate, we’ll be out of ammunition in no more than two days.”

"Several waves of people from the south city have already arrived, requesting material support. My subordinates really couldn't refuse, so we managed to squeeze some out, but the east city will inevitably be affected... General, you'll need to conserve your resources from now on."

Wu Ban Shan laughed angrily, pointing outside the city wall and saying: "Save it What use is it to say that to me You have the ability to go tell the Liao army to organize fewer attacks on the city, then you can save some."

The quartermaster officer looked grim, though he had a lot of grievances, he didn't dare to contradict, could only hang his head down and say with gritted teeth: "General, if the court's reinforcements don't arrive soon, our supplies will really run out."

Although Wu Ban Shan had fire in his heart, he also knew that these past half months had been truly difficult for this group of logistical officers.

Although the Yueya Guan has always been stocked with large quantities of military supplies, such as rolling stones and logs, tung oil, etc., one could describe them as piled high even on a normal day.

No matter how thick the family fortune, it couldn't withstand the sixty-thousand strong Liao army attacking day and night.

After a grueling half month of intense combat, Wu Ban Shan couldn't even count how many times the Liao army had attacked or how many of them had died.

He only knew that in the past half month, nearly 40,000 soldiers out of the 200,000 stationed within Yueya Pass had died, and another 20,000 were seriously injured. Such a loss of combat power was already close to 40%.

As for supplies, they had been running low for days.

This really isn't the fault of the logistics officer. After all, no one could have predicted that the Liao army's attack would be so fierce and sudden.

"What does Dashuai say" Wu BanShan stood up and asked.

The supply officer was about to speak when a runner dashed up.

"General, the Grand Marshal has sent word for you to return at once."

Wu Ban Shan frowned. The Liao army could attack at any time. On this critical juncture, how could he leave

The next words from the messenger invigorated him completely.

"The Liaodong army has arrived!"passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a unique sandalwood fragrance reached King Ning's nose.King Ning suddenly turned around, but saw an old monk standing in the corner of the...
