Chapter 351 It's like gold, is there a bird for it?

The siege war lasted for several rounds. Although the scene was huge and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky, the siege army led by Li Tianqu never killed under the white horse city wall. Although there were also teams of infantry carrying long ladders rushed forward, but they seemed to be under the dense rain of arrows on the top of the city and could not hold on. Some infantrymen fell to the ground by arrows, and Yu Zhong immediately threw down the long ladder and set up shields to resist the sharp arrows shot from the sky.

In this way, Li Tianqu's army was in vain to add a lot of corpses in front of the formation, and he could not take advantage of the number of people. He set up a long ladder to supervise the siege infantry to climb high and kill the city.

But in this way, the Liang army guarding the city had already prepared a complete set of rolling wood stones and boiling oil and gold juice, but could not cause more severe damage to the enemy. After watching the battle situation, the city guarding the city lord Li Feng, who was gradually at ease, frowned slightly again. He also found that the enemy's offensive was not only weak, but also stopped. Even if he preserved his strength, the number of troops he invested could not help but retained too much.

So what is Li Tianqu’s plan? Such an offensive poses no threat to the city walls. He intends to use his military strength to leverage our army’s strength? Now there are 45,000 soldiers and horses guarding the city, which is completely enough to dispatch in shifts. When will he fight like this? Is he deliberately waiting for His Majesty to lead the army? Or... he has other plans?

Although a suspicious thought arose in his mind, Li Xi's expression soon became solemn again. Because he looked at Li Tianqu's army, the infantry and troops gave way one after another, with nearly a hundred catapults, and the crossbows slowly pushed forward and marched towards Baima City.

Li Xi snorted coldly and soon issued an order. At the Chingji City Pass, a group of soldiers began to adjust the direction of the giant crossbows. The huge crossbow arrow pointed at the siege tools in the enemy formation in the distance. After correcting the angle, they were ready to issue them at any time.

Although Li Xi still couldn't help but wonder, seeing that the siege army led by Li Tianqu sent out a large number of siege equipment, he was still full of confidence. He thought that even if the enemy intends to destroy the city gate, even the strong city defense fortifications in Baima City today would be enough to withstand it for a long time. By then, Your Majesty must have already arrived. Li Tianqu's intention to retake Baima City in Huazhou as soon as possible is utterly a dream!

......However, three days later.

At the third hour of Xu, there were stars in the sky, and a bright moon hung in the sky. The white horses had torches with numerous torches on the city walls on all sides, which seemed brighter in the night.

The Liang soldiers on duty on shifts did not dare to be careless at all? From time to time, they looked at the area in front of the city with flames. If they could find any trace of enemy troops who were intending to attack the city at night, they would immediately ring the gong to warn them? The colleagues who summoned Xiu Xie quickly set up an array on the city gate? They would not give the siege troops any opportunity to take advantage of.

After three days of war, the soldiers of Liang soldiers who defended the city consumed their energy? They also needed to take a rest and prepare to wear down with the enemy troops under Li Tianqu for a long time. Most of them stayed at the city tower at night and were sleeping in Godadan. At least now, it seemed that although Baima City was in the middle of a war, the army led by Li Tianqu returned in the first few rounds of siege. For the defending party, the current pressure on the war was not very large.

However, on the northeast side of Baima City? There was a place where Li Tianqu was in charge of the vassal states? It was used to hoard for forage. In the remote corner of the city, there was a dry well that had long been dried up. Now, even after it was occupied by the Liang army, it was used as a place for storing match firewood and for war horses to eat. The location of the dry well was very hidden? It was extremely inconspicuous, and there were few soldiers and civilians in the city walking there.

In the black hole of dry well, the bottom is still relatively humid, and there are mostly dark green moss around it. However, at this time, the location of the middle section of the dry well is suddenly heard. Then a few gravels slid down and fell to the bottom of the well. Although it made a sound, it was not loud. Unless someone was still swaying at the wellhead, it would be impossible to detect it outside.

Among the several tunnels opened outside Baima City, there is a connecting exit, which is dug in the dry well. Even if there are Liang soldiers patrolling in the city, which one will hang a bamboo basket and stumble into the black well to observe?

Even if the enemy troops occupying the city walls visit the well, the excavated holes had been sealed with several layers of stones before. Unless you stare carefully in the dim view, it is difficult to find traces of excavation in the well. However, from the inside of the tunnel, it is easy to transport the stones that are blocked by blinds. At this time, more than a dozen soldiers came to this place first and had tiptoed to open the exit.

One of the primary schools poked his head out to look and saw that there was a bright and faint moonlight at the wellhead, and the surroundings were dark and could not be seen clearly. Moreover, the surroundings were quiet, and it seemed that as before, the above was as if the army was stationed before, few people would pay special attention to this remote place.

A torch also quietly poked out from the entrance of the cave, and immediately lit up the inside of the dry well. The soldiers holding the torch shook their arms again, but they saw the light and shadow swaying in the well. I guess if someone looked over from outside at this time, they would find that a red light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the well, as if something strange happened out of thin air...

After waiting for a while, there was no movement outside. The sergeant lurking in the dry well confirmed that there was no Liang army patrol around, so he took out the flying claw hook used to climb the barrier, poked half of his body out of the hole, swung his arm and turned it, and then swung it hard, and the flying claw hook was accurately placed at the wellhead.

The sergeant who advanced first pulled the rope connecting the grab hook, then climbed upwards. Next, one, two, three... More and more soldiers climbed out of the wellhead with ropes. The soldiers who were the first to sneak into the city were hidden around the dry well, guarding the sergeant to take out the ladder they carried, and threw it into the well so that the colleagues who were on standby in the tunnel could climb out faster...

After about half an hour, if you can take a bird's eye view from the night sky, you will find that the remote forage farm in Baima City is densely covered with black shadows drilled out of the dry well, and you will quickly use the firewood stored around you, and even the houses are as hidden as possible.

There was also a team of soldiers familiar with the road and quietly sneaked into several nearby houses. After a while, the muffled sound of sharp blades entering the room seemed to be fleeting. After slaughtering seven or eight sleeping Liang soldiers, they came to a corner with a drop of blood and hit the floor with a frequency of three long and two short.

Under the floor, there was a faint sound of organic stent being pulled. Soon, a long piece of wood pushed straight open the wooden board, and from this tunnel, a large number of lurking colleagues and soldiers climbed up one after another...

At this moment, together with the main general Li Xu, the Liang army guarding the city did not expect that they would focus all their attention on the outside and stare at the movements of the enemy troops surrounded by the siege of the city. However, more than 3,000 soldiers had sneaked in through the tunnels on the inside of Baima City. And the number of soldiers who would drill out one after another would continue to increase.

Near the dry well, a team of fierce infantry surrounded a general, still looking around and guarding him. The general had just crawled out of the dry well and took the big sword he was best at and then put it on his back. It was Wang Chongshi who led his subordinates' soldiers and even several groups of colleagues to sneak into Baima City as Li Tianqu's order.

After hearing the school whispering that the surrounding situation is stable, and before the Liang army defending the city was alarmed, Wang Chongshi nodded slowly and then said in a deep voice:

"When the soldiers sneaked into the city walls reach about 5,000, leaving a thousand soldiers, guarding this place, and following the Paoze tribes, I personally led 4,000 soldiers, took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and seized a city gate first to support the army outside the city, and rushed in together!"
