Chapter 203 Chapter 211: Breaking through Gaochang

"Boss...that, military advisor." Wang Yuantai was stunned for a moment, and then reminded him friendly, "Wei hour has just ended, and it has entered Shenshi (3:00 p.m.), and there is only one hour left before sunset."

"One hour is enough." Li Hao raised his feather fan, pointed at Jiaohe City, and shouted coldly, "The generals obey the order and prepare to attack the city!"

After hearing the words, everyone dispersed quickly, performing their duties and getting ready. After a while, all the troops were ready. Li Hao ordered [-] infantry to hold wooden shields in front and [-] archers behind to enter the range of the enemy's range. .

There was a sound of pulling strings from the direction of the city head, and Tang Jun held up their wooden shields to resist. The next moment, all the generals in the Tang Jun camp were surprised. Most of them were shot in the open space, and only two or three hundred arrows shot into the Tang army's formation, and they were so weak that they were all blocked by shields.

"This is a group of recruits, and they can't even open their bows." Li Hao raised the corner of his mouth when he saw this, and said happily, "It seems that it won't even take an hour."

Li Hao waved his feather fan. After seeing his gesture, Feiying picked up a command flag and shouted: "Press the archer, fight back!"

More than 3000 archers of the Tang army moved forward for more than 30 steps, opened their bows and counterattacked, and suddenly saw arrows like locusts, shooting towards the head of the city. Immediately, nearly a hundred people from the Gaochang army fell to the ground with arrows, and the other Gaochang soldiers were all scared. Under the wall, dare not show your head.

Li Hao got up, swept the feather fan, Feiying immediately changed another command flag, and shouted: "Beat the drum! Siege the city!"

"Dong dong dong..." The rapid drumbeat sounded, and more than 4000 infantry rushed to the top of the city shouting and killing, and set up ladders. In the army formation, the city-charging cart was pushed out, heading towards the north gate of Gaochang. go.

The enemy generals shouted and cursed at the top of the city, and immediately many people started throwing stones and rolling logs down under the rain of arrows to prevent the Tang army from attacking the city.

Li Hao suddenly turned his head and said: "Chen Bin, you take a thousand Zuo Wuwei, go around Jiaohe City, go to their south gate, and stop four miles outside the south gate."

"Yes!" Chen Bin immediately took the order and headed south with a thousand Zuowu cavalry at lightning speed.

The general guarding the city on the top of the city saw a group of cavalry running around the city and heading south. He was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, Xu Xiong, take 800 people to the south gate to deploy defense!"

The ancients paid attention to encircling three gates and one in battle. Li Hao was different. He only attacked the north gate of Jiaohe City, and gave you three directions to escape. If you abandon the city and flee, I have the most elite cavalry. How much can you escape? If you escape, I will send troops to stand outside the other three walls, and let you disperse your troops to defend and disperse your troops.

Sure enough, Chen Bin took a thousand left military guards and stood four miles outside the city wall, and did not attack the city. The school captain named Xu Xiong waited for a while, but he did not see Chen Bin and the others attacking the city. He was very anxious and wanted to attack the city. They didn't dare to go back to the north wall, so they hurriedly sent someone to inform their generals who defended the city.

"Peng Hai, take 250 right Xiaowei and 250 Fubing cavalry to stand around the west gate."

"Yes!" Peng Hai immediately led five hundred cavalry into formation, rushed west, and stopped outside the enemy's west gate.

"Bai Yeduo! Quickly take 400 people to guard the west gate!" Li Hao led the generals of the Gaochang garrison completely by the nose. There are more than 200 people.

Li Hao looked at the battle situation ahead, and said slowly: "The archers salvo, cover the city-rushing vehicle, the sons are about to ascend the city."

Flying Eagle immediately held the command flag and sent an order to the front. The archers of the Tang Army immediately shot arrows towards the city head with all their strength. , rushed into the city gate, and Tang Jun had already begun to climb the top of the city wall.

It is an indisputable fact that the Tang army is brave in this era. Once a Tang army climbed to the top of the city, it seemed as if a gap was torn in the enemy's defense line, and the tear became bigger and bigger. Those recruits from Gaochang were no match for the Tang army at all. Often, after one Tang army rushes to the top of the city, two or three Gaochang troops can be scared back.

"Hurry up! Call Bai Yeduo and Xu Xiong to come back to support!" Gaochang's city guard general hurriedly issued an order, but it was too late. More and more Tang troops climbed to the top of the city, and there were already nearly a thousand people.

But at this moment, the gate of Jiaohe city was breached by a chariot, and those Tang soldiers who had not yet reached the top of the city rushed over, shouting and pouring into the city from the gate, shouting and killing.

The generals defending the city had already retreated from the city, opened the east gate and fled, taking only more than 60 personal guards with them.

With a feather fan, Li Hao pointed at the enemy general who was fleeing in a panic eight miles away, and said indifferently, "Cheetah, bring it back alive to our army division."

"Yes!" Cheetah took the lead and left with a group of ten people.

After the last battle, the Special Forces suffered heavy losses, and there were only a dozen of them left. Li Hao added Jin Li and the others to the Special Forces. Except for Qin Wei, who was poor in martial arts, Jin Li and the others were all first-class fighters. , although he is a little older, but fortunately he has a good foundation. After more than two months of special training, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

The cheetah team rode out like a gust of wind, chasing the enemy general. The enemy general just ran for his life at this moment, but he dared to turn around to meet them. The two chased and fled, and they traveled more than 20 miles in just a moment.

After a long time, the messenger came to report: "Report to the army division that all the enemy soldiers have surrendered. The [-] citizens in the city are kneeling down and begging for mercy."

At this time, Cheetah and the others also came back, their clothes and armor were covered with blood, and he held the head of the enemy general in his hand. When he got close, he got off his horse and confessed: "Master, my subordinates are ineffective and killed the enemy by mistake in the melee." The commander-in-chief can only bring back his head."

"It's okay, get up." Li Hao helped him up, raised his watch to look at it, and said calmly, "It's exactly an hour." He raised his feather fan and pointed at Jiaohe City, and said slowly, "Send an order, enter the city."

"Enter the city!" Feiying shouted loudly, conveying the commander's order.

Everyone went back one after another and set up their camps, assembled their teams, and slowly entered Jiaohe City.

Entering the city, I saw Gaochang people kneeling on both sides of the street, and soldiers from the Tang Dynasty stood guard along the way to prevent counterattacks.

Li Hao brought all the troops to Gaochang City Guard Mansion, began to resettle the people, and then issued an order: "All the soldiers and civilians of Gaochang who participated in the resistance will be captured and escorted to Tingzhou."

There were more than 5000 soldiers and civilians participating in the resistance in the city, all of whom were sent to Tingzhou overnight.

Early the next morning, Li Hao rectified, prepared enough food and grass, and began to lead the army northward. Next, he wanted to capture Gaochang City.

Seven days after Li Hao captured Jiaohe City, Hou Junji arrived at Tiandi City and began to attack the city.

Li Hao led the army and met Chen Yong, the captain of Liangzhou Zhechong [-] miles north of Gaochang City. He was ordered by Li Hao to transport the siege supplies here in advance, in order to save time, because the attack on the small Jiaohe City would not cost much at all. Not so many siege equipment, you know, there are five catapults among these siege equipment.

In this era, catapults are definitely the most powerful siege equipment, comparable to the cannons of later generations. Li Hao doesn't know much about the military strength of Gaochang City, but he conservatively estimated that there are at least [-] soldiers and horses. After all This is the capital of Gaochang, but it is not as easy to fight as Jiaohe City.

Li Hao led the army to set up camp ten miles outside Gaochang City. He thought that the enemy would rob the camp at night, so he set up an empty camp plan. Infiltrating into the city, maybe Gaochang City can be taken tonight with the combination of inside and outside.

Unexpectedly, Qu Zhisheng was too timid and did not come to rob the camp, which disappointed Li Hao. Since the opponent chose to defend the city, Li Hao could only attack by force. Before attacking the city, he must make some preparations. First, he must understand the enemy army How many soldiers are there in the city? This can be roughly estimated from the number of defenders at the top of the city. Li Hao calculated from the number of defenders at the top of the enemy's city that there are nearly [-] soldiers in their city. This force is really beyond Li Hao's expectations. .

Since ancient times, if you want to attack a city, you must have more troops than the opponent. After summarizing the experience of countless siege battles in history, you have come to the conclusion that five times the number of troops is a critical point. Five times the strength of the army, the confidence will be much greater, so the son surnamed Sun once said: Ten is to surround it, and five is to attack it.

However, now Li Hao intends to take Gaochang before the cold snap, otherwise things will be difficult, so the idea of ​​besieging the city never occurred to him.

Right now his strength is not more than the opponent's, but less than the opponent's. It is still very difficult to capture Gaochang.

Facing the 4000 Tang troops outside the city, Qu Zhisheng was worried. He had already received the battle report. The Tang army led by Li Hao captured Jiaohe City in half an hour. To be able to last for ten days and a half months, to consume Tang Jun's vigor and strength, he was conquered in half an hour, which frightened him. He finally realized that he and his father had provoked a big tiger , and right now, the [-] Tang troops outside the city are the ones who conquered Jiaohe City within half an hour. Although there are [-] soldiers and horses in the city, he is still worried. Just be caught as a prisoner.

Li Hao was stationed outside the city overnight, but did not wait for the envoy from Gaochang. He was very disappointed. Early the next morning, he ordered the whole army to advance and surround Gaochang City on three sides.

Facing the military-looking Tang army, the Gaochang army at the top of the city suddenly panicked. Countless soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and there was no room for people to stand on the wall.

Li Hao beckoned, and Lu Yun handed him a tin speaker. Li Hao picked up the speaker and tried "Hey Hey Hey" a few times, and found that the sound amplification effect was acceptable, but it was far worse than the sound system. It doesn't matter, as long as Enemy can hear it.

He put his mouth on the trumpet and shouted: "Listen to me, people in the city! You are surrounded! You have the right to remain silent! But everything you say! It will be—last words!"

All the soldiers looked at Li Hao with strange eyes. What kind of nonsense persuasion words are these? Li Hao was embarrassed for a while, and handed the tin horn to Lu Yun, saying: "You should come, you have a loud voice."

Lu Yun was also embarrassed. What does it mean to have a loud voice? Is it insulting him or praising him? He took the tin horn and asked Li Hao, "What did you say?"

Li Hao thought for a while, and said: "You let Qu Zhisheng come out and accept the surrender, so that you can go to Chang'an to live a life without worrying about food and clothing, otherwise this military division will make his head fall! Be careful! The words must be vicious, and must be vicious. , to frighten him."

"Oh." Lu Yun nodded, spoke in his mind for a moment, then suddenly opened his throat and yelled, "Ju Zhisheng, get out of here quickly, obediently tie yourself into rice dumplings, don't you want to wait for our military division to enter the city to chop Did you make your head into a chamber pot! You surrender now, and our military adviser guarantees that your life will be safe..."

After Lu Yun finished yelling, he turned to look at Li Hao, but he saw Li Hao looking at him with contempt on his face: "I made you fierce, but didn't make you swear. Your quality is so low, I am ashamed."
