- Li Zhi returned to the city and repeated his old tricks, defeating several other archers outside the city walls.
Fortunately, each department has its own thoughts and does not cooperate with each other, so there is only one advantage: more people. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Wei Yunqi is, Dingbeicheng will not be able to defend it.
The battle of Dingbeicheng has been extremely fierce since the day of the siege, and soon afterwards the attack by the Turkic coalition forces became intense.
The Art of War says "encircle an enemy ten times", and the Turkic coalition forces were twenty times larger than the Sui army. There were so many people, each one vomiting at the same time, Dingbei City was about to be submerged.
Wei Yunqi knew very well that there is no city in the world that cannot be conquered. If reinforcements do not arrive immediately, the fall of Dingbeicheng will only be a matter of time.
Wei Yunqi didn¡¯t know whether Sun Cixu had recruited the tribes in the grasslands, and he didn¡¯t know whether Zheng Yanqing in Anbeicheng had received news of his request for help.
Today was a bloody day of fighting, and they repelled five or six waves of attacks by the Turkic coalition forces. The Sui army also suffered heavy casualties.
From the day the war started to today, it has only been fought for five days, but the total number of killed in the army has been 291, and 77 were seriously injured, which is already more than one-seventh of the casualty rate. At this rate, the Sui army could not last more than a month, and Dingbei City would be destroyed.
Wei Yunqi was very worried.
Although he said, "If you save people and lose land, you will gain both people and land," but he was still unwilling to give up Dingbeicheng unless he had no choice.
The symbolic meaning of Dingbeicheng is very important. As the center of the Sui Dynasty's rule in Mobei, Dingbei City was there to deter the Sui Dynasty from all the tribes in Mobei. If Dingbei City is lost, it is likely that some tribes who are still waiting and watching will turn to Ashina Qilifu.
Not everyone is smart and can see the long term.
And more importantly, if Dingbei City is lost, there will be no obstacle for the Turkic coalition forces. They can advance eastward along the line of Gonglu River. Even the small forts in Gonglu River cannot stop the Turks.
And after the Sui Dynasty lost these strongholds, even if they sent troops to counter the rebellion later, they would have to travel long distances and travel long distances. Without a foothold, the difficulty of countering the rebellion would be doubled.
Wei Yunqi was planning how to fight next. At this moment, some of his subordinates came in a hurry to see him.
¡°Chang Shi, it¡¯s snowing!¡±
Snowing?
Wei Yunqi was stunned and hurried out to check.
Wei Yunqi walked out of the house and saw that the sky was filled with snowflakes. Snowflakes as big as fingernails are like dancing elves, or like flying birds, hovering, soaring, and then landing on the ground.
The snow fell very hard and quickly, and soon it fell all over the ground, layer after layer. The roofs, distant mountains, and even the military camps of the Turkic coalition forces in the distance were all dyed white by the heavy snow.
Wei Yunqi stood in the snow for a while, with snowflakes already falling all over his body.
Wei Yunqi's face was neither sad nor happy, and he walked back to the hall.
The others were very happy.
"Chang Shi, it's fine now. Once the snow comes and then it freezes, the Turks won't be able to attack Dingbeicheng even if they are gods from heaven."
"not that simple!"
This year¡¯s heavy snow came a few days earlier than in previous years. Although it is said that "it snows in August", at the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the weather was relatively mild and it snowed on the grassland, usually in mid-to-late October.
"However, it is relatively cold this year, and the snow came early.
After this heavy snowfall, I am afraid that the entire Mobei grassland will not be able to thaw until April or May next year.
The heavy snow will definitely hinder the Turks' attack and help the Sui army defend the city, but Wei Yunqi is worried about more than that. In this icy and snowy environment, Anbeicheng's support will definitely not be able to arrive. This time y*unxua nge. org Zhang Si
Not everyone is a lunatic like Huang Mingyuan who dares to cross the desert in the dead of winter.
And until April or May next year, there will still be more than half a year. Dingbeicheng can afford to wait, but Mobei Grassland doesn't know if it can afford to wait.
Astana Laipu was not rebelled or not, did it wait for this snow?
At this time, Wei Yunqi was feeling sad, while Ashina Qilifu opposite was feeling happy and worried.
The good news is that the heavy snow has arrived as promised, and it looks like it won¡¯t be a big deal. This blizzard will soon move southward, sweeping across the entire grassland, and sweeping inside and outside the Great Wall.
It is 1,300 miles from Anbeicheng to Dingbeicheng. Even Zheng Yanqing, a goshawk on the grassland, cannot reach Dingbeicheng in the cold winter.
Even the Tiele coalition forces that Ashenaliver had been worried about could not come.
This snowstorm will buy him at least half a year.
Of course, there are joys and sorrows, and the worries are no less than the joys.
Everyone knows that snow is not the scariest thing, but the snow is the best thing for everyone.Experience.
When it snows heavily, the temperature will drop sharply. Especially after the snow, it falls even more severely. Although the Turks were prepared, fighting in the ice and snow had unpredictable consequences.
What¡¯s more serious is that the heavy snow will not melt, but will freeze. The sky, the earth, and the city will all be frozen together.
If you want to successfully break the city, I'm afraid it will be even harder.
Ashina Chilifu complained a little about Ashina Dubi, thinking that if Ashina Dubi had advanced the plan a few days, they would have had enough time to conquer Dingbei City.
Now it¡¯s snowing heavily, but Dingbeicheng cannot be captured. With such an enemy by their side, their plan will be ruined.
According to the original plan, if they occupy Dingbei City and defeat the Sui people, both the Turks and Tiele people will be captured by the coalition forces and join the coalition forces one after another, and the strength of the coalition forces will also increase. 强牺 yunxuange.org 读牺
But now that Dingbeicheng is a nail in the coffin, those duplicitous and even die-hard tribes loyal to the Sui Dynasty have psychological support, so how can they still fall to the coalition forces.
Although the Sui army was not large in number, the number of tribes that could be drawn together was quite large.
In this situation, even if the main force of the Sui army was unable to move northward, Wei Yunqi would still have enough strength to deal with them.
What Ashina Qilifu is also worried about is what to do if Wei Yunqi wins over the Wei He tribe, or even the Beyegu tribe and Pugu tribe in the east. He cannot be trusted with people like Yao Geluo Bodhisattva.
Ashina Dubi was helpless in the face of Ashina Lifu's complaints.
He didn¡¯t want to be so late, but he couldn¡¯t control God. If it were a little earlier and the heavy snow came two days later, Dingbeicheng would be easy to fight, and the Sui army that could be supported might have already moved north.
¡°In the final analysis, everyone underestimated the difficulty of attacking Dingbeicheng.
Sure enough, on the second day, it was still dark and the heavy snow had not stopped. Wei Yunqi ordered the people in the city to light fires and boil water, and then pour it all on the city wall one by one.
When the hot water hit the cold city, it instantly turned into solid ice.
So the huge Dingbei City turned into an ice city in front of everyone.
Under the ice, the Turks' siege ladders were also frozen, and they could not move them, let alone carry them to attack the city. Even because the weather was extremely cold, the bowstring could not be drawn, and the weapons and armor became extremely brittle, making many equipment on both sides unusable.
Only the rows of rolling wooden stones and hot oil and gold juice still declared that the war was still going on. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
When the war reaches this level, no one can fight it anymore
