Sure enough, when Xiliang launched another intensive attack the next day, they not only dispatched the ironclad army, with shields and other protective measures, but also dispatched large siege equipment.

The attack became more fierce than one wave, and the trenches that had just been dug had also been filled in by the Xiliang army, and the boulders thrown out almost blocked the city gates. And the walls of Wolong Pass are also full of strong crossbows of the other side, and the soldiers besieging the city stepped on the strong crossbows, and the blood stains on the wolf teeth never dried up.

Gu Mozhi and Hua Qianshu both hated to give birth to three heads and six arms.

Under the baptism of such a war, Gu Mozhi became more and more stable and resolute, commanding counterattacks again and again, and won the affirmation and respect of all the soldiers and soldiers.

This was only the second day of the war, and there were already quite a few casualties, and if this continued, the city would not be broken for four or five days.

On the third day, Xiliang began an endless wheel tactic.

Hua Qianshu ordered people to ambush the mechanism overnight three miles away from the city wall, and when the Xiliang soldiers and horses rushed up, they touched the string of the ambush under their feet, and immediately ten thousand arrows burst out of the ground, causing them the first wave of huge casualties.

This kind of ambush made the Xiliang people feel afraid, and when they charged into battle, the soldiers were obviously timid, and they had to send the vanguard to test carefully, losing the momentum of the attack. And they didn't dare to stop fighting and retreating, lest once they retreated, Hua Qianshu would continue to set up a second and third wave of ambushes in front of the city wall.

Such an attack was not as brave as yesterday, but it was continuous, divided into several batches, one after the other.

There are few soldiers defending the city in Chang'an, and they must go all out to block the repeated attacks of the Xiliang people, and they can't get rest and recuperation, and they don't even have time to eat.

Gu Mozhi, Jiang Biao and others also never sleeped, and they have been guarding the city wall, repelling the enemy's attacks again and again.

After half a day, it is exhausting.

The commander of Xiliang has not yet shown up, and just one "drag" can make the Chang'an army mentally collapse.

In the afternoon, the war drums of Xiliang sounded, and the tide of the attacking army generally receded.

Gu Mozhi and the others could finally take a breather.

Hua Qianshu leaned against the city wall, closed his eyes, and breathed evenly, as if he had fallen asleep. The exertion of several days on a day had made her look very unsightly, and her lips were a little chapped. Coupled with the dust and sand above the city walls, she is no longer as delicate as when she first saw her, like a flower that has lost its moisture under the sun.

Gu Mozhi couldn't bear to disturb her, so he took off his robe and gently draped it on her body.

She opened her eyes suddenly, tired, but still shining.

"The messenger sent by the court has been gone for more than ten days, and if there is a will, he should be halfway there. ”

Gu Mozhi sat down beside her, took the water handed over by the soldiers on the side, and handed it to her: "We have to be prepared with both hands, I am not optimistic about our imperial court." ”

Hua Qianshu nodded: "I just want to give myself a little hope." ”

took the water bowl and was stunned: "I'm hungry." ”

I drank it all, wiped my mouth, smacked my mouth, and it was dull and tasteless, but I choked on the wind and coughed.

Gu Mozhi took the empty bowl in his hand and thoughtfully patted her on the back: "The wind has changed direction today, you happen to be sitting against the wind, be careful that the cool breeze pours into your stomach." The wind here is not as gentle as in Shangjing. ”

Hua Qianshu was stunned and groaned secretly. When I raised my face again, my eyes were clear.

"We can't afford to sit still, we have to find a way to survive. Otherwise, even if they are undefeated, the soldiers will not be able to withstand the pressure. ”

Gu Mozhi nodded: "I also have this intention." Today is windy, and it is the first moon, and the night will be dark. I plan to infiltrate Xiliang's camp at night and assassinate the opposing coach Ginger. I hope to mess up the opponent's position and delay for a while. ”

"No!" Hua Qianshu was categorical: "Although the assassination of the boss is indeed a delaying strategy, you must not forget that you are also the commander yourself, how can you risk yourself? The other party is heavily guarded, even if the assassination is successful, it will be difficult to retreat." If something happens to you, the dragons in this Wolong Pass will be leaderless and will surrender without a fight. ”

Gu Mozhi chuckled, gentle and gentle: "Don't forget, there are Shen Yan and Jiang Biao in this Wolong Pass, they are the backbone of the soldiers and the people." I've only been here for more than ten days, so it doesn't matter. ”

"Kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred, this is the next policy, the gain outweighs the loss!" Hua Qianshu firmly retorted: "No, we take advantage of the east wind!"

"Borrowing the east wind?" Gu Mozhi raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Hua Qianshu was in a trance for an instant, and suddenly remembered the slightly ridiculous sentence "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night." ”

Her eyes darkened, and she nodded firmly: "Yes, tonight's wind direction is heaven to help me Chang'an, we can take advantage of the wind to take advantage of the fire attack." My father...... I heard that there was a precedent of this kind before, using goshawks to sprinkle tung oil, and then letting a group of trained monkeys carry fire, igniting the weeds near the enemy's camp, instantly setting fire to the other's grain and grass camp, and forcing the opponent to retreat for dozens of miles.

The wild grass outside the gate is connected all over the sky, and now it is dry and flammable, and the people of Xiliang cherish the wild grass, and they want to raise war horses with dry grass and set up camp, which is the most lush place for hay. At night, he sent people with superb martial arts skills to climb the city wall and go down, sneak into the vicinity of the Xiliang camp, and burn the weeds. When the time comes, the fire will take advantage of the wind and sweep into the opposing camp in the blink of an eye.

If this fire is well placed, it can force the opponent to retreat dozens of miles, which is not conducive to the opponent's frequent attacks, and they cannot continue to use this wheel tactic. We can also recuperate. ”

When Gu Mozhi heard Hua Qianshu's plan, he was so excited that his blood boiled, and he grabbed Hua Qianshu's hand with one hand, his eyes burned, and the clear glow in his eyes suddenly warmed up.

"It's just wonderful!"

The man's strength was great, and Hua Qianshu couldn't help frowning.

Gu Mozhi realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly let go of her hand, and instantly spoke incoherently, losing his usual calmness.

"Yes, I'm sorry. ”

Hua Qianshu pursed her lips and smiled: "Feasible?"

Gu Mozhi stood up with a "pout": "I'll go and discuss with Vice General Shen immediately." They are familiar with the terrain and will definitely be able to give the most reasonable advice. I sent my Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, and I believe that according to their skills, they will definitely be able to do it. Hello life rest. ”

Hua Qianshu smiled and nodded, but after he turned to leave, he also got up with difficulty and left the city wall.

Before dark, Xiliang launched another extremely fierce attack, and after encountering a desperate counterattack by the Chang'an army, it gradually retreated.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The warriors of Yanyun's eighteen cavalry changed into night clothes, took advantage of the night to climb down the city wall, and quietly walked in the direction of the camp of the Xiliang people.

Gu Mozhi and the others didn't dissolve their battle armor, and they waited for the day, and they were very nervous. I hope to see the monstrous flames rise from the camp opposite, and then everything will take a new turn.
