Yun Zhongguo rushed into the city, and the defenders retreated steadily.

The siege troops rushed into the long street, with dense rain of arrows under their hoods. Some people screamed and fell off their horses, and some screamed and were pierced by sharp arrows. Buckets of hot oil were poured down, and the long street soon started to erupt. The fire broke out, the dense army was engulfed in the flames, and countless people fell down screaming.

The entire city of Dali turned into a hell of Shura, mercilessly devouring one living life after another, and the neat ground was dyed red with blood.

"Don't panic, everyone, just follow my instructions."

The roars of the generals of the siege army were drowned by the huge sound of burning and the sound of collapse all around. No one could hear his voice. They all went crazy and escaped from the sea of ​​​​fire.

Under the sky full of firelight, Jiang Fuguang stood on the high platform, smiling at Ji Ruxuan beside him. The city was smoky and smoky. Her jade-like face was stained with a few soot, gray and black marks, mixed with sweat stains, and her small face Dirty, but smiling like a flower, she is unparalleled in beauty.

"We made it," she said with a smile.

Ji Ruxuan hummed. Jiang Fuguang had discussed the strategy of luring the enemy with the nobles in the city. Everything tonight was a show to confuse Piroye and cooperate with the craftsmen in the city.

The reason why the nobles agreed was not because of their trust in Jiang Fuguang, but because they just wanted to give it a try. If that didn't work, they could capture the eldest princess and negotiate with Piroye.

Piroye was indeed fooled and attacked the city at night.

The nobles set an ambush in the city and burned half of the city, leaving all of Piroye's [-] vanguard troops in the city.

Piroye, who was guarding outside the city, had long lost the smile on his face. It was dark night, and the flames in the city were soaring into the sky, dyeing half of the sky red. The billowing black smoke floated to the outside of the city. There was a smog everywhere, and there were screams in the city. It was vaguely spread outside the city.

A soldier escaped to the city gate despite being seriously injured.

"Your Majesty, there is an ambush. There is an ambush in the city. As soon as our people rushed into the city, they were caught in the ambush. Suddenly, a large area of ​​​​the city was on fire. The vanguard army was trapped in the sea of ​​​​fire..."

Without saying a word, an iron arrow flew from nowhere and pierced his neck. His eyes widened and he fell off his horse with a thump.

"Retreat, retreat quickly."

As soon as Piroye roared, a dense rain of arrows was shot from the city wall. The army, which was ready to attack the city, immediately retreated in a hurry.

Piroye knew that he had been fooled, so he laughed angrily: "The nobles in the city joined forces with the eldest princess to stage a drama to lure the enemy deep into the urn and invite you to the urn. They would not hesitate to destroy half of the city and annihilate all [-] of my elites. Well, the eldest princess is really courageous and courageous."

Galois looked horrified: "Father, should we continue to attack the city?"

"Attack the city?" Veins popped up on Piroye's forehead. "Now the city has been reduced to a sea of ​​flames! How can we attack the city? Are we going in and roasting ourselves alive?"

Jialuoyi didn't dare to speak. As soon as the 13-strong army attacked the city, they lost [-]. During this period, they attacked the city day by day and suffered heavy casualties every day. Today they lost another [-] elite troops. Now they only have More than [-] people.

Can Dali City really be captured?
"Don't let them close the gates."

Piroye was unwilling to retreat. He looked at the swollen flames and shouted, "The eldest princess has burned her boat. How many people are left in the city now? The rain of arrows shot from the tower is not dense. We still have a chance to attack... …”

"Brothers, give it to me!"

"Kill ten enemies and get a hundred taels of silver reward."

"Ge Lisi's reinforcements are coming soon."

With their morale boosted, Yun Zhongguo's army quickly rushed towards the city gate...

The defenders rushed to the city gate, pushed hard, and shouted: "Quickly, close the city gate, don't let them in." The two sides formed a tug-of-war.

Jiang Fuguang looked solemnly as he looked at the defenders who were struggling to push the door open: "Piroye did not retreat as expected. We followed his plan, opened the city gate wide, and asked you to enter the urn. He lost his troops and generals, so he also followed his plan and made a desperate move, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to break in."

The city gate has been opened, and it is difficult to close it again.

Piroye lost another [-] elite soldiers and was short of strength. If he retreated today, it would be more difficult to break through Dali City again. He would not give up the opportunity to break through the city gate.

By this time, he had become a gambler.

The more you lose, the more you want to gamble, thinking that you still have a chance to win back your gambling capital with profit.

Piroye spread rumors in the city to incite people's hearts. People in Dali City were impetuous and the situation was unstable. It would be a matter of time before they were disintegrated from within. The Qi family's army would not arrive for a long time. Instead of waiting for Piroye to launch a large-scale attack on the city, it would be better for them to take the initiative to lure If the enemy goes deep, fight him.

The city is now on fire, which will surely delay Piroye's offensive...

The entire city of Dali has been turned into an urn city. They have set up ambushes everywhere in the city, not sure if they can stop Piroye.

Jiang Fuguang gritted his teeth: "Success or failure depends on this one move."

Ji Ruxuan lowered his eyes: "There are still more than [-] defenders of the city. The total number of nobles and private soldiers is more than [-], and the total number is [-]. They are all ambushing in the city. There are still more than [-] young and strong people in the city. , they dug up the roads in major streets, set up roadblocks, placed hay and dry firewood on the streets, poured kerosene on them, and if they couldn't stop them, they would continue to set fire to the city."

The people in the city were relocated to the west of the city, where the fire area was isolated and the fire would not affect them.

Everyone was willing to follow Jiang Fuguang crazy because Jiang Fuguang said to them: "Instead of leaving your life to others, it is better to fight for yourself. If we can't stop Piroye, you will arrest me and threaten me with my life." Piroye, asking Piroye to give up massacring the city can be regarded as a retreat."

"Two possibilities."

"First, if Piroye keeps his promise and does not massacre the city, you will survive."

"Second, Piroye went back on his word and ordered a massacre of the city. I will die with you."

"No matter which one, it can't be worse than surrendering directly."

"How do you choose?"

In order to express his sincerity, Jiang Fuguang took the initiative to put on a pair of shackles on his feet to show that he would not escape. The shackles made of fine iron weighed more than thirty kilograms, making it difficult to even walk. Even the black knife in Ji Ruxuan's hand could not Cut it off.

Jiang Fuguang turned his head and looked at him: "We can win!"

She actually had no idea.

Ji Ruxuan smiled and looked at the shackles at her feet, with a look of anger in his eyes. He really felt that the city defenders were too incompetent.

An ordinary county-level city can hold about [-] soldiers and horses to death, which occupies the advantage of defending the city. With sufficient supplies, it can withstand at least about [-] soldiers and horses. It can hold on to the city for about half a month, which is enough to hold on to the state capital. of reinforcements.

And a state-level city can only have [-] to [-] soldiers and horses at most, which can almost withstand an army of more than [-] people. It can take more than a month to attack the city and wait for the nearby garrison to arrive.

Of course, this is under the condition of persistence. (End of chapter)
