Seeing that the anti-military troops who launched a fierce attack today had to leave many more bodies, they finally retreated slowly. Li Tianqu was panting, and his face was still very serious.

Because according to the steps of Ge Congzhou and Zhang Guiba discussing the siege, Li Tianqu probably could have imagined the other party's plan:

Wanqiu, Chenzhou is as solid as a rock, but the military strength of defending the city is limited. The troops arranged to be distributed everywhere are spread out. How many people can be dispatched? This time, it is best to be able to seize the city quickly, but as long as it can continue to cause effective damage to the enemy, in the case of shortage of troops in the city, fatal flaws will be exposed sooner or later...

Although launching a fierce attack on the city walls that have long been built like an iron barrel, it will be a heavy price to attack one side. However, Huang Chao's army is numerous and can afford to fight and consume, and can launch an offensive to Chengguan from any direction. Even if it fails ten times, it can continue to try one hundred times. On the other hand, the Chenzhou defenders dispersed their troops to defend the city defenses in various places. As long as they are broken one by one, they will be fatal.

After all, Wanqiu is now in the east, south, west and north directions, with the three brothers Zhao Lu, Zhao Chang, Zhao Lu, and Li Tianqu leading troops to guard a corner. As for Zhao Lu, two sons Zhao Lu, Zhao Lin also led a group of troops to put out fires everywhere and support the city defense area where the war is intensifying at any time.

Li Tianqu knew that this was indeed because he had completely won the trust of the three brothers Zhao, but Wanqiu had more than 10,000 troops and horses, and they were divided into only 2,500 and 600 people everywhere. Every time he repelled the enemy's fierce attack, there would inevitably be certain casualties and losses...

Although he still successfully retreated this time, he confronted the troops who had attacked Zhang Guiba's banner in this formation, but the reduction in combat power in this day was equivalent to the total number of casualties in the past half month.

Zhang Guiba later generations also classified him as one of the famous generals who had never lost his life. However, the wars he participated in in historical records mainly focused on the attack on Qin Zongquan, as well as local warlords such as Liu Rengong and Zhu Jin, and even strategically cooperated with another famous general under Zhu Wen to force the retreat of the Jin army Li Sizhao.

Such a record certainly proved his strength, but compared with celebrities such as Sun Wu, Li Mu, Huo Qubing, Gao Changgong, etc., he experienced a lot of inferior battlefield battles on the battlefield. However, the wars he faced during the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods, except for the stage where he had limited qualifications to first surrender to Huang Chao and had not been fully valued, if Zhang Guiba was said to have never been defeated in a hundred battles, this statement would be generally valid.

What made Li Tianqu even more worried is that it is very likely that he is closely connected with Zhang Guiba at the moment, but now he is like him, and his reputation is just another unknown person.

There is a gua in Shandong, don’t tease you if you have nothing to do.

In the online community where Li Tianqu, who had a strong interest in Chinese history, often visited this discussion activity regularly: choose the two famous generals with the most outstanding military achievements in all dynasties during the cold weapon period, discuss who will win when the troops are equal and the strategic situation is even, and vote. Those with few votes are eliminated, and those with the most votes advance, and continue to be eliminated until the last remaining military gods are the ones.

Later, Liang Ge Congzhou was always one of the few leading figures representing the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods. Moreover, in the long history of Chinese generals, he often advanced to several rounds compared to other famous generals of the same period.

After all, although Wang Yanzhang is one of the best generals in the world in terms of personal martial arts, Li Tianqu, who has fought side by side with him for a while, knew that he was inclined to lead the way and take the lead in killing generals and winning the flag. However, Ge Congzhou not only had strong martial arts skills, but also had a very clear combat thinking. He was also a general with a broad strategy, outstanding response to the battle, and both wise and bravery. Such an opponent is actually even more terrifying on the battlefield.

After all, "Ge Congzhou, Liang general, was loyal and brave. Every time he was in the battle, east, west, south, and north, he suddenly became like a god. The Jin people were called clone generals."... He was a famous general who was extremely good at fighting blitzkriegs. In history, three military states were captured in a row within five days, killing all the towns in Hebei frightened. Not only did he set the record of the most rapid siege among many wars during the Five Dynasties. The defeated vassal warlords and local separatist forces could not count the two hands. During the Liang and Jin battles, they were also a powerful enemy who was famous for the warlord Li Keyong's warlord's power...

Li Tianquxin said that although Wang Yanzhang and An Renyi are willing to use it for their own use, if they fight with the three brothers Zhang Guiba and Ge Congzhou in an equal situation, they will end up in a crushing defeat, and there will be seven or eighteen of them.

However, Zhao Hun, Chenzhou, led the local military and civilians to fight against Huang Chao for more than 100,000 troops for more than 300 days. The rear was still able to defend its territory even though the military prefectures under its jurisdiction were almost surrounded by most of the power of Qinzong. Li Tianqu recalled briefly that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, this should have been the record of facing the siege of many enemy troops and never falling and holding on for the longest time.

The sharpest spear faces the strongest shield. Thinking of this, Li Tianqu couldn't help but curse a few times, because the situation he is in is at the forefront of the showdown between the spear and the shield.

However, at present, whether it was Zhang Guiba or Ge Congzhou, he had not taken overall control of the overall situation and blocked the military power alone during his service to Huang Chao. Moreover, the battle against the city walls was no longer as strong as the two armies in the field war, as strong as Ge Congzhou. According to the historical trajectory, facing Yanzhou, which was guarded by the wise general Liu Xiu, he had no choice but to be discouraged and depressed. He just knew that he had to be more twelve points, otherwise he would fall into a desperate situation that would be doomed...

However, according to historical records, the "digging five levels of ditches and attacking them by a hundred roads" was not only Li Tianqu, but also the key passes of Wanqiu Chengguan guarded by Zhao Quan, Zhao Chang and Zhao Quan, who were also in command of the military and civilians to resist the enemy's full-strength attack.

Although the anxious confrontation was not tolerated at all, Zhao Qing and others commanded the soldiers guarding the city to repel the war between the anti-military troops without any danger. The most tense battle was the Chengguan area guarded by Li Tianqu. Especially in the next ten days, both sides still tried their best. The war not only did not slow down, but became more and more tragic...

The surging waves swept over like waves, even if they retreated again and again, the walls of Wanqiu City could not help but begin to become broken than before. Many moats had been completely filled with wood, stone, sandbags and even corpses, and the wreckage of siege vehicles, crashes, well railings and other siege equipment near the corners of the wall were of course covered with dead bodies.

In this era, the siege of the city was not only the most tragic for both the offensive and the defense, but Li Tianqu was also physically and mentally exhausted every time he focused on dealing with the enemy's dispatch of the offensive.

The troops led by Zhang Guiba were naturally still commanded by Ge Congzhou, or used the same trick to make the defenders on the city unable to distinguish the direction of the main attack of the military outside the city for a while, or feinted the attack to a certain area, but quickly mobilized a large number of troops to launch a fierce attack on the other side.

In this way, no equipment to defend the city can be used with great care. Not only did the city wall shoot down a group of soldiers. The military and civilians braved the rain of arrows shot from below, but also swung their arms to roll the wooden rocks, and poured the boiling water downwards, causing another layer of dead bodies to lay under the Wanqiu City Wall. Some people were not dead yet and were wailing in the pile of corpses.

The soldiers who were poured by the boiling feces and were smashed by the head and face, and those who were smashed by wood and stones, were really better than just to die. They were either crawling around the ground or making heart-wrenching screams, and the large area of ​​their skin was blooming, like little ghosts who were tortured in the eighteen levels of hell. They couldn't help but feel creepy when they saw it!

The siege war was tragic, and a large number of soldiers could not be avoided. Huo Cong, who was majestic and well-trained in the army, could still drive all troops to catch up one after another. As for Ge Congzhou's dispatch in the front line, he could always seize the opportunity to take advantage of and issue military orders immediately. In every battle, many soldiers would still be able to climb to the top of the city, causing continuous consumption to the defenders!
