Chapter 731 This city is a bit strong
Deputy General Huang An quickly left and went back to defend the city. Li Ji looked at the offensive and defensive sides beside the city wall and thought about countermeasures.
At this time, the enemy was still rushing towards him like a tide in the distance, and there were still thousands of bows and crossbows under the city. The crossbows and arrows were still being suppressed by a square of the Tang Dynasty. At the city of the Tang Dynasty, someone immediately assassinated the barbarian soldiers who had just emerged on the city wall through the ladder, someone immediately assassinated them with a spear or a long halberd, which was a typical bloody offensive and defensive battle.
The barbarians were not afraid of death, and the soldiers guarding the city in the Tang Dynasty also exploded bloodily. Li Ji raised his eyes and looked at the city walls on all sides. Faced with such an attack from the enemy, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty was actually at a loss.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration seemed to realize something.
"No, there are not many hundreds of ladders on all sides. The Tang Dynasty's wooden rolling stones are not prepared enough. Why are there only so few enemy troops who have the chance to go to the top of the city?"
He said to himself, and hurriedly observed the enemy siege on the city wall with confidence. Li Ji suddenly realized, "You Yuan Gaisuwen, you want to use a bunch of fake ladders to deceive me into thunder? I was almost confused by you.
Come, quickly send the city to the four sides..."
Li Ji, who understood the enemy's tactics, had a great confidence and immediately ordered the generals defending the city in all directions to defeat the enemy according to law.
Soon, the sound of thunder that had not sounded for a long time roared under the northern city again, but it was different from the previous waves. This time it was one by one. In other words, the Tang Dynasty found a countermeasure and identified the real cloud ladder, and only exploded the real one.
Yuan Gai Suwen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Unexpectedly, Li Ji was indeed well-known. He saw through his plan so quickly and sighed, "Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and fight again tomorrow."
"Leader, no, we are going to kill the city." The leader of the Marine shouted excitedly.
"Didn't you see them taking out the thunder again?"
"But listening to this sound, they didn't have much thunder, not like the ones they used to be."
Well, Yoon Gai Suwen really wants to cover her face. How could she work with such a straightforward person? You are the leader of a clan, so don’t you care about your own lives?
"The strategy has been discovered. They have only thrown away less than three thousand sky-bombing thunders in total. Do you think the Tang Dynasty can't even get tens of thousands of sky-bombing thunders?
If you want your soldiers to go up and die, then I won’t stop you.”
After saying that, Yuan Gaisuwen ignored the leader of the Mart, who was determined to seize military achievements, and reinstated his horse back to the camp.
A battle lasted for two hours, neither side gained any benefits. The Tang Dynasty consumed more than 2,000 thunders, but because of a short-term bloody battle, almost one thousand soldiers were killed.
The Allied forces threw down more than 30,000 corpses under the city in two hours, and then they were retrieved and buried by Yuan Gaisuwen on the same day. This is the rule of the ancient battlefield. After the war, both sides did not take action and cleaned up their own bodies. Otherwise, they would be left to rot on their own and would cause plague.
The strange plan was discovered, and the Allied forces obviously had no good countermeasures, so they could only attack hard. In the following days, all four sides advanced at the same time, and the bodies left at the gate of the city were all built into small hills.
After five consecutive days of attack, these barbarian leaders realized for the first time what a city was indestructible. In the past, everyone lived in the grassland and only knew how to ride horses, fight horses and shoot horses. Now it’s better. Only those who have really seen siege battles know why the Central Plains Empire likes to build cities and survive. The first benefit is its strength.
"The leader of the alliance, you can't fight anymore. The opponent's city is too strong, and we can't rush up at all. And we don't know how many thunder they have, it's like endless things that we can't beat." Chief Shi Wei asked.
Even these brave and fierce barbarians could not withstand the large sacrifices of their tribesmen and took the initiative to ask for a retreat.
"Hmph, the despicable Tang people actually blocked the city gates on all sides, causing us to lose many soldiers at the city gate in vain." The eldest prince of Baekje said in a hatred.
Those who knew how to attack the city were Goguryeo and Baekje, so Baekje was sent by Yoon Gaisuwen to block the knife and rob the city gate, but they lost the lives of ten thousand soldiers. Only then did they realize that the city gate was a dead object and could not be defeated.
Yuan Gaisuwen was also thinking in his mind that he had been attacking for ten days. He thought that the 500,000 army would definitely be unstoppable. Unexpectedly, the first city would miss the front, which made Yuan Gaisuwen very angry.
Because of this, there is no longer a stalemate here. On the one hand, it takes time and on the other hand, morale is extremely affected.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Gaisuwen decided to go south to divide his troops.
"The Western Turks went all the way to attack Xiping City, Shiwei and Mohe tribes stayed to surround the northern city to prevent them from leaving the city and attacking us from behind. The remaining army followed me to attack Dongping City. We attacked together in three groups. Whoever broke the city first will be the first contribution in this battle."
After Yuan Gai Suwen said that, everyone acted separately, but everyone was no longer excited as if they had just arrived. They all knew that the Tang Dynasty was not a soft persimmon, but a very difficult hard stone to chew. So what if it was divided into three groups? Isn’t there any thunder in other places?
Shi Wei and Martyr were left because the two tribes suffered the greatest losses these days. Originally, the two tribes had a total of 120,000 soldiers, but now in ten days, there are only 50,000 remaining soldiers left.
This is also a plan left by Yuan Gai Suwen. As long as the Tang Dynasty could not help but send troops to eat the 50,000 remaining soldiers, the army would immediately turn around and encircle and take down the Northern City. However, the Northern City defender was Li Ji, and he was not a bloodthirsty person, so he would not go out to the city to counterattack without any strategic intentions.
Although the deputy generals were trapped for more than ten days and were almost suffocated, they all shouted to go out of the city to hunt, but Li Ji held it tightly, so nothing happened.
This is also the reason why Li Er did not send Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong to come. These two people did not have enough concentration and could not withstand the temptation to send troops privately.
Let’s talk about the Allied troops divided into three groups to deal with three heroic cities on the grassland. Xiping City was guarded by Li Daozong, the old opponent of the Western Turks, and Dongping City was guarded by Qin Shubao.
After the allied troops of the Western Turks and Uighurs arrived in Xiping City, they saw that Li Daozong was on the top of the city. The soldiers of the Western Turks couldn't help but take a step back. It was this demon general who held the sky-blasting thunder in his hand and thirty thousand people blew up the 100,000 Western Turks army, and finally escaped only three thousand remaining soldiers. This memory is too deep. If he didn't have the sky-blasting thunder in his hand, he wouldn't believe it.
"Khan Mo Hedu, look at this..." The Uighur king looked at Mo Hedu hesitantly.
Mo Hedu stared at Li Daozong who was smiling at the city wall, and after a long time, he said hatefully: "Camp from all directions, surround him without attacking, waiting to hear the good news from the eastern army."
The Uighur king: "..."
Speechless, this military order is also absent. It is obviously a neglect of military aircraft. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to go to Dongping City to join forces.
At this moment, Qin Shubao moved a chair at the head of Dongping City and deliberately asked his subordinates to put them high under him so that they could look down at the entire invading army.
"General, the enemy is only five miles away from us. Do you really need to prepare for defending the city? Even if you don't roll wood and stones, even if you just have a bow and crossbow?" the deputy general said worriedly.
Qin Shubao smiled and said, "Don't worry, didn't we prepare a big meal for them? Go, bring more high chairs, and instruct your brothers to prepare to watch the show.
The arrogant Goguryeo people actually boldly attacked my Tang Dynasty and were determined to teach them that they would never return. If you can get close to the city wall, I, Qin Shubao, are incompetent."
