Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 745
Under the city of Youzhou, a lot of corpses had already piled up.

The smell of blood was pungent and attracted a lot of flies. After people saw it, they couldn't help but want to vomit.

The killing is still going on, and the sounds of all kinds of fighting are endless.

The Tang army was attacking the city non-stop by means of ladders. Although they did not attack, it obviously had some effect.

As long as you persist, you will definitely be able to attack.

But at this moment, Yan Bing suddenly poured something from the tower, which was very sticky and slippery.

"It's oil..."

Just as Tang Jun realized it, Zhuge Wen had already ordered someone to throw down a few torches.

These oils can be easily ignited, and after throwing down the torch, the ladder immediately lit up.

The ladder is also made of wood, so it can be burned naturally.

After lighting it like this, the fire suddenly became stronger, and in just a moment, all the ladders of the Tang army would be filled with fire. Then, the ladders broke off from the city wall and no longer existed. Many Tang soldiers were also not spared. into the fire.

The fire was still burning, but the ladder was gone.

After seeing this situation, Qin Tian's eyebrows were solemn, a little shocked, but also a little distressed.

The ladder, which has always been invincible, was broken by Luo Yi's people.

But now that there is no ladder, how easy is it to attack the city?

"Mingjin withdraws troops."

After only a moment of effort, Qin Tian decided to retreat, and it was impossible to retreat.

The sound of retreating soldiers sounded, and Tang Jun withdrew from Youzhou City one after another. Soon, the entire Youzhou City fell silent, leaving only a pile of corpses.

After Yan Wang Luo Yi saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this battle, they fought very well. At least they repelled the Tang army, so that the Tang army would never dare to attack the city easily again.

However, as long as we wait a few more days, when the Turkic troops arrive, they can besiege the Tang army and destroy Qin Tian's troops.

At that time, he had to take revenge.

Yan Bing started to clean the battlefield, while Qin Tian had already returned to the barracks.

"Damn, hate, I didn't expect Luo Yi to have such a capable person, how did they burn the ladder?"

"Without the ladder, what else can we do next?"

Cheng Yaojin and others were very angry, but Qin Tian and Li Ji became more and more calm.

"Mr. Ying, the siege failed. It seems that it is difficult to destroy Luo Yi through the siege. We have to think of other ways."

If Luo Yi does not leave the city, it is basically impossible for them to capture Youzhou City.

Li Ji nodded: "We have to prepare for a protracted war, Lord Hou, now there is only one month's food and grass left in the army, and now we can almost send people back to Beijing to plead with the imperial court to transport food and grass."

When they came, they brought food and grass, but they had been delayed for more than two months on the way, and the food and grass were almost eaten up. Now, it was time to ask for food and grass, otherwise if there was not enough food and grass, the battle would have to be abandoned halfway.

Then they really have to make long-term preparations. Qin Tian thought for a while and nodded: "Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin."

"The end is here!"

"The two of you should hurry back to Beijing and let the imperial court prepare food and grass. This is a very important matter. Don't be careless on the way, and don't delay."

"Here!"

The food security officer is a small official, but at the same time it is also very important. Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin really didn't dare to be careless. After agreeing, they rushed to Chang'an City without any hesitation.

The two urged Chang'an City for food and grass, while the Tang Army camp continued to think of ways to see how they could break Youzhou City.

Everyone looked at each other in Tang Jun's big tent, but for a while, they couldn't think of a way to break the city.

Luo Yi was shrewd and refused to go out of the city to fight, and there were many Yan soldiers in the city. It would be disadvantageous if they forcibly attacked the city. What's more, the ladder was burned. It is not realistic to use a ladder to solve this problem.

It's not impossible to make a fireproof ladder, Qin Tian can do it, but they can't stand a hard attack.

They broke the city today, and they lost thousands of soldiers and horses.

Attack again, even if they conquer the city tower, how many soldiers and horses do they have left to fight against Yan Bing?
In that case, the odds are slim.

Everyone looked at each other, no one could think of a good way, Qin Tian frowned, and at this moment, Luo Huang stood up again: "Master Hou, I have a way."

Hearing this, Qin Tian smiled and said, "Oh, what better way do you have?"

"Master Hou, breaking the city from the outside is indeed a bit difficult for us soldiers and horses, but can we break the city from the inside?"

"Break the city from the inside, what do you mean?" Qin Tian had actually done the method of breaking the city from the inside before. He pretended to be a Taoist priest, and then killed the guard on the tower. However, this method had already been used. It may not work if you want to use it again, and Luo Yi has smart people around him, so it is impossible to get close to Luo Yi.

Even if he gets close to Luo Yi, but Luo Yi is very skilled in martial arts, even Qin Tian is no match for him, so who will kill him?
However, Luo Huang just smiled slightly, and said: "Master Hou, you don't need to start from Luo Yi's side, just start from the guard's side, as long as you can persuade the guards, let them take the opportunity to open the door when they are attacking the city." That's the gate."

Luo Huang's method is exactly the opposite of Qin Tian's method at the beginning. Qin Tian started with big people, but Luo Huang started with small people. easy thing.

Most of the people who can be arranged by Luo Yi to guard the gate are Luo Yi's cronies. Such a person, is it easy to persuade?

However, although it is a bit difficult, it is indeed a solution. Maybe you can try it. After thinking about it, Qin Tian nodded: "That's right, just let people go into the city?"

"Master Hou, the subordinates are willing to help, but they need some money and women as capital, otherwise, after entering, it will not be easy to subdue those guards."

To do this kind of bribery work, you have to be willing to spend money. Men, what they want are nothing more than money and women. Without these two things, it is really difficult to do.

Money is not a problem, Qin Tian can still afford it, but it's just a woman, but it's a bit embarrassing for him.

When fighting in the army, there are indeed some women who follow them. These women are generally the wives and daughters of some criminal officials. Their status is underground, and they mainly serve the soldiers in the army.

But Qin Tian led the army, but never wanted these things, so now it is not easy to find a woman.

Qin Tian shrugged and smiled wryly: "We have money, but women don't."

It is impossible to find a woman who is willing to sacrifice for this.

Seeing this, Luo Huang hesitated for a moment, and said: "In this case, then give the subordinate enough money. After entering the city, the subordinate will think of other ways."

There is nothing in this world that money cannot solve.
