Datang Library

Chapter 730 This city is a bit strong
Lieutenant Huang An quickly left and went back to defend the city. Li Ji looked at the attackers and defenders on the edge of the city wall, thinking hard about countermeasures.

At this time, the enemy was still rushing in row after row like a tide in the distance, and thousands of crossbow teams were still suppressing the bows and arrows below the city. Someone used a spear or a halberd to push it down, a typical offensive and defensive bloody battle.

The barbarians were not afraid of death, and the defenders of the Tang Dynasty also burst into flames. Li Ji raised his eyes and looked at the four walls of the city. Facing the enemy's offensive, this famous general of the Tang Dynasty had no bottom at this time.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration seemed to realize something.

"No, there are no more than a few hundred ladders on all sides, and the Tang Dynasty's rolling logs and rocks are not well prepared. How come so few enemy troops have the opportunity to go to the top of the city?"

Talking to himself, he hurriedly and confidently observed the siege enemy army on the edge of the city wall, and Li Ji suddenly realized, "Well, you Yuan Gai Suwen, you want to use a bunch of fake ladders to trick me into Hong Tianlei? You almost fooled me .

Come, send an order to the Sifang city..."

Li Ji, who understood the enemy's tactics, was so confident that he immediately ordered the generals defending the city to destroy the enemy according to law.

Soon, the sound of thunder that had not sounded for a long time roared again under the northern city, but it was different from the previous bursts. A real ladder, only fried for real.

In the distance, Yuan Gai Suwen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Unexpectedly, Li Ji really deserved his reputation. He saw through his plan so quickly, and sighed, "Ming Jin withdraws troops, and we will fight again in the future."

"Leader, no, we are about to kill the top of the city." Mohe leader shouted excitedly.

"Didn't you see that they took out Thunderbolt again?"

"But listening to this voice, they don't have many thunderbolts, not like before."

Well, Yuan Gai Suwen really wanted to cover his face, how could he work with such an upright person?You are the head of the clan, don't you care about the lives of your own people?
"The trick has been seen through, they only threw less than [-] Thunderbolts in total, do you think Datang can't even get out tens of thousands of Thunderbolts?

If you want your soldiers to go up and die, then I won't stop you. "

After finishing speaking, Yuan Gai Suwen ignored the leader of Mohe who was bent on robbing the military exploits, and reined in his horse and returned to the camp.

A battle that lasted for two hours did not bring any benefits to either side. Not counting the consumption of more than 2000 Thunderbolts on the Datang side, almost a thousand soldiers were killed because of the short bloody battle.

On the other hand, the allied forces dropped more than 3 corpses under the city within two hours, and they were retrieved and buried by people sent by Yuan Gai Suwen on the same day. This is the rule of the ancient battlefield. Clean up your own corpse, or leave it to rot and cause the plague.

The trick was seen through, and the allied forces obviously had no good countermeasures, so they could only attack hard. In the next few days, troops from all directions attacked at the same time, and the corpses left at the gate of the city alone were piled up into hills.

After five consecutive days of attack, these barbarian leaders realized for the first time what an indestructible city is. In the past, everyone lived in the prairie and only knew how to gallop horses, fight horses, ride and shoot. Fortunately, people who have really seen siege battles Knowing why the Central Plains Empire likes to build cities to survive, the first benefit is sturdiness.

"Leader, we can't fight any more. The opponent's city is too strong, we can't go up to it at all, and we don't know how many thunderbolts they have, it's like endless, we can't fight." Chief Shiwei begged .

The mass sacrifices of the tribe, even these brave barbarians couldn't stand it, and they asked to retreat.

"Hmph, the despicable Tang people actually blocked the gates of the city on all sides, causing us to lose many soldiers at the gates of the city." The prince of Baekje said angrily.

Goguryeo and Baekje were the only ones who knew about siege warfare, so Baekje was sent by Yuangai Suwen to block the sword and rob the gate of the city, but they lost the lives of [-] soldiers before they realized that the gate of the city was a dead thing. impenetrable.

Yuan Gai Suwen was also planning in his mind, he had joined forces to attack for ten days, he thought that the 50 army going south would be overwhelming, but he didn't expect that the first city would stumble, which made Yuan Gai Suwen very depressed.

Because of this, the stalemate here can no longer continue. Firstly, it will take time, and secondly, morale will be greatly affected.

So after careful consideration, Yuan Gai Suwen decided to go south and divide his troops.

"Western Turks went all the way to attack and encircle Xiping City. The Shiwei and Mohe tribes stayed behind and surrounded the northern city to prevent them from leaving the city and attacking us from the rear. The rest of the army followed me to attack Dongping City. We attacked all three ways, whoever breaks first City, whoever wins the battle will be the first."

After Yuan Gai Suwen finished speaking, everyone split up to act, but everyone was no longer as excited as when they first arrived. They all knew that Datang was not a soft persimmon, but an extremely hard rock, so what if they divided into three ways?Is there no Thunderbolt in other places?

Shi Wei and Mohe were left behind because the two clans suffered the most losses in the attack on the city these days. Originally, the two clans had a combined 12 soldiers, but now after ten days, only [-] remnants remain.

This is also a plan left by Yuan Gai Suwen. As long as Datang can't hold back and send troops to eat up the [-] remnants, the army will immediately turn around and take the northern city. However, the guard of the northern city is Li Ji, and he is not Bloodthirsty and brainless people will not go out of the city to counterattack without any strategic intention.

Although a group of lieutenants were trapped for more than ten days and almost suffocated, they all clamored to go out of the city to hunt, but they were held down by Li Ji, so nothing happened.

This is also the reason why Li Er didn't send Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong to come. These two people are not strong enough to resist the temptation to send troops privately.

Let's say that the Allied forces are divided into three groups to deal with the three great cities on the grassland. Xiping City is guarded by Li Daozong, the old opponent of the Western Turks, and Dongping City is guarded by Qin Shubao.

After the Western Turkic and Huihe allied forces arrived at Xiping City, they saw Li Daozong at the top of the city, and the entire Western Turkic soldiers couldn't help but take a step back. The army only escaped with three thousand remnants in the end. This memory is too deep. If it is said that he does not have Thunderbolt in his hands, no ghost will believe it.

"Mo He Du Khan, look at this..." The Huihe King looked at Mo He Du hesitantly.

Mo Hedu stared at the smiling Li Daozong at the top of the wall, and after a long time said bitterly: "Set up camp in all directions, surround and not attack, and wait for the good news from the army of the East Road."

The ruler of Uighur: "..."

Speechless, this military order is absolutely dead, it's obviously a neglect of military aircraft, instead of wasting time here, it's better to go to Dongping City to join forces.

At this moment, at the head of Dongping City, Qin Shubao moved a grand master's chair, and deliberately let his subordinates place it high under it, so as to look down on the entire invading army.

"General, the enemy is only five miles away from us. Don't you really need to prepare for the defense of the city? Even if you don't need to roll trees and rocks, even if it's just a bow and crossbow?" The deputy general worried.

Qin Shubao chuckled: "Don't worry, didn't we prepare a big meal for them? Go, bring more high chairs, and tell the brothers to prepare for a good show.

The arrogant Goguryeo people have boldly invaded our Tang territory, and they must teach them whether to return or not. If you can get close to the city wall by a hundred steps, I, Qin Shubao, are incompetent. "
