Chapter 405: Outsmarting Youzhou City
"kill!"
Under Dingzhou City, countless Xi soldiers drove siege vehicles and ladders to continuously launch fierce attacks on Dingzhou City.
Several cloud ladders were level with the city wall and were placed directly on the city wall. Countless Xi soldiers rushed to the top of the city from the ladders.
At the same time, the Tang army on the top of the city threw cans of kerosene onto the ladder, and then threw torches onto the ladder.
"Hoo!"
The flames are blazing.
Five or six tall ladders turned into huge balls of fire. The Xi soldiers on the ladders continued to scream and fell from the air, turning into balls of charcoal.
As the ladder was burned down, the Xi people who went to the top of the city were wiped out by the Tang army defending the city, and the Xi people's attack was repulsed.
However, within an hour, Xi Ren came back again, and a crossbow was pushed out.
Afterwards, these crossbows kept firing arrows at the walls of Dingzhou City. After a while, the walls of Dingzhou City were covered with huge crossbow arrows.
"Kill!"
Countless Xi soldiers climbed up to the top of the city with crossbow arrows shot on the city wall.
A brave Xi soldier was about to climb to the top of the city. However, the next moment, he discovered that a spear emerged from the city wall, and the spear pierced into his chest in an instant. The thin leather armor could not help it. Block sharp spears.
"ah!"
The Xi tribe soldier screamed, fell from the city wall, and fell heavily to the ground. The next moment, endless darkness completely enveloped him
Many small holes appeared on the city wall, and spears were pierced from each small hole from time to time, stabbing the Xi soldiers who climbed up the city wall down one by one.
At the same time, many archers appeared on the top of the city. These archers continued to draw their bows and arrows, shooting arrows down the city, and shot down the Xi tribe soldiers one by one off the city wall.
A quarter of an hour later, Xi Ren's attack was repulsed again.
On the top of the city, many soldiers of the Tang Army were panting. They could no longer remember how many times they had repelled Xi Ren's attacks.
Since this year, the Xi people have launched three large-scale attacks on Dingzhou City, each time with great momentum. However, the soldiers of the Tang Army guarding Dingzhou persisted in the end, and Dingzhou is still in the hands of the Tang Army.
However, the Tang army also paid a heavy price. The 20,000 Tang troops who initially defended the city were now reduced by 10,000 due to deaths and injuries, leaving only 10,000 Tang troops able to fight.
What¡¯s more important is that the food in the city has long been exhausted.
In order to persevere, the defenders in the city even gnawed tree bark and ate Guanyin soil. The Guanyin soil could not be digested, and many people died of abdominal distension after eating it.
In order to allow the defenders to persevere, Huo King Li Yuangui even killed his own horses to satisfy the hunger of the soldiers. However, how long can this last?
The entire Dingzhou has reached its final moment.
On the top of the city, a seriously injured veteran kept panting and murmured: "Kill me, eat my flesh, and let the soldiers have a full meal."
King Huo Li Yuangui, who was patrolling the city, happened to hear this and couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
With such loyal and brave soldiers, even if they die, they cannot surrender to the aliens and swear to fight the aliens to the end!
Li Yuangui came to the seriously injured soldier and said: "What we eat is what you wounded soldiers eat. If we die, we will die together!"
The wounded soldier smiled sadly, grinned his withered lips, and said, "My lord, do you think reinforcements will come?"
Li Yuangui was stunned for a moment, his lips moved twice, and he said in a firm tone: "They will come, our reinforcements will definitely come! The Tang Dynasty will not abandon us!"
"Your Majesty, I believe you, I will live until the day when reinforcements arrive"
The voice of the wounded soldier became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped, his face was ashen, and he had stopped breathing.
Li Yuangui gently wiped the wounded soldier's face with his hand, closed the wounded soldier's eyes, and sighed softly and said: "Brother, we will definitely wait until the day when reinforcements arrive!"
"Your Majesty, the Xi people have begun to attack again! Please come down to the top of the city first." The general beside him said.
"I won't leave! I will stand here and live and die with the soldiers!" Li Yuangui roared.
The next moment, Li Yuangui had picked up a long spear and stood at the crenel at the top of the city. Looking far into the distance, outside the city wall were countless Xi troops, overwhelming as far as the eye could see, and they were charging towards Dingzhou with loud roars.
"Soldiers, kill the enemy!"
Li Yuangui roared and threw himself into the battle
There were loud killings inside and outside the city of Dingzhou, and the war was extremely stalemate. Li Yuangui had tried his best. However, the Xi people sent out an army of 100,000 to attack Dingzhou. Li Yuangui was powerless, and Dingzhou was at the last moment.
Pingzhou.
Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu have led 20,000 troops to Pingzhou to join Gao He.
Xue Xiantu proposed that the troops be divided into two groups and attack Jizhou and Youzhou at the same time. This way, they could be surprised.
On the contrary, if Jizhou is attacked first and then Youzhou, it is indeed possible to capture Jizhou, but when attacking Youzhou, it is not so easy because it is just a surprise.
Xue Xiantu is famous for his ability in both civil and military affairs and his resourcefulness. Among Xue Rengui's sworn brothers, he is the most comprehensive.
After listening to Xue Xiantu's words, Zhou Qing and Gao He nodded repeatedly and attacked Youzhou and Jizhou at the same time. Although they divided their forces, they were unexpected and could achieve unexpected results.
Most of the time, wars cannot be won with more people, but with wisdom. Xue Xiantu's method is indeed very good.
At that moment, the three people made up their minds. Zhou Qing led 10,000 troops, and Gao He led 5,000 troops to bypass Jizhou and attack Youzhou from the south. Xue Xiantu led 10,000 troops to attack Jizhou, leaving Gao He with 5,000 troops. Guard Pingzhou.
The three men immediately divided into two groups, with Zhou Qing and Gao He going first, and Xue Xiantu following up.
Zhou Qing and Gao He rushed all the way, bypassing the main road, and marched towards Youzhou.
At this time, in Youzhou, under the rule of the Xi people, all industries were withered. The large areas of fertile land outside the city were seized by the Xi people and turned into pastures. The original Tang people dared not speak out.
Along the way, Zhou Qing met some Tang people. Instead of running away, these people led Zhou Qing the way.
In this way, Zhou Qing and Gao He arrived at Youzhou City very smoothly.
Looking towards Youzhou City from a distance, there were many guards at the city gate, and it seemed that the defense was extremely tight.
Zhou Qing and Gao Heyi discussed that attacking Youzhou City in this way would definitely scare the enemy away. It would be best if they could outwit Youzhou City.
How to outsmart Youzhou City?
When the two of them were worried, on the official road in the distance, a team of hundreds of people came to welcome the bride.
Looking at the wedding team, Gao He rolled his eyes and already had an idea.
Gao He immediately pointed to the wedding team on the official road and said: "General Zhou, this time, we can outwit Youzhou City!"
