Chapter 945: Attacks from both sides
A fire was lit on the Wagang city wall, and the soldiers and horses stationed on the outskirts immediately began to act when they saw the signal, and all they had to do was to evacuate urgently.
Li Shimin's soldiers and horses found a few barracks, but when they arrived, they had already become empty barracks, and the people had already left.
"Retreat."
The generals who took the lead have already won the victory, and there is nothing more to gain.
Li Shimin and others learned in the barracks that the battle was going well, and immediately took the guards out to investigate, and there were 20,000 people in the Wagang barracks, and now more than 8,000 people have been arrested.
There are also some people who take advantage of the chaos to flee and do not know where to go, and when it comes to life and death, there are not many people who can really give up their lives to resist to the death.
If you want to say that the combat effectiveness of these tile soldiers is not much worse, it is because they want to accumulate iron ore, they were sent to mine and waste their skills, if they had not promised a heavy reward, I am afraid that these people would have found another way out long ago.
Now that the war has urgently reconvened them, it hasn't been long since they can maintain such combat power, and the survival of bloodless warriors is what they want most.
When more than 8,000 people are in the Jedi, if they can be given a choice to live, they will definitely not give up.
So more than 8,000 prisoners of war easily laid down their weapons.
Li Shimin did not despise these people, but asked people to ask about the situation of the Wagang Barracks, if they knew, I am afraid that the fighting would not stop until now.
Unable to find news from other barracks, Li Shimin had no choice but to give up.
As soon as dawn, Shan Xiongxin learned about the situation of the attacked barracks, and lost more than 20,000 people, but fortunately, the other soldiers and horses were transferred in time.
Shan Xiongxin already understood Li Shimin's thoughts, and wanted to mobilize soldiers and horses from the suburbs to attack the city again, if he was unprepared, he was afraid that he would really be planted here, but fortunately, he took precautions in advance.
"Inform me and send multiple soldiers and horses to attack the camp."
"Yes."
The soldier who ordered the herald left, and the adjutant said worriedly: "General, we are now in a weak position, is it too risky to send troops and horses at this time?" ”
"Wouldn't they be tired from tossing all night, who would have thought that someone would attack in broad daylight, and there would be no loss in letting them raid."
Shan Xiongxin's coming and going, just to return the color, what he needs now is morale.
As he said, Li Shimin rested very late, and many soldiers were also resting, but the soldiers and horses dispatched at night were only a part, and the rest of the soldiers had a normal schedule.
"Enemy attack!"
The soldiers and horses of the Wei State really attacked the battalion, but they did not attack head-on, but exposed them in advance and attracted the attention of the other party in advance.
"They're going to run, they're going to pursue!"
"Wait, what if it's a lure to the enemy, let's ask for instructions."
The captain didn't think too much about it, if they didn't pursue it immediately, they would miss the opportunity, they all traded military merit for their future, even if the enemy deliberately did it, they were not afraid.
The first lieutenant led his men in pursuit, and the other lieutenants did not see that the speed of action was not slow.
What does it matter if the enemy has an ambush or not, if the situation is not right, it is good to retreat, but missing the fighter is the biggest loss.
Fight for the future.
Within a few breaths, thousands of men came in pursuit, all cavalry at the front.
The Wei soldiers really set up an ambush, all hiding in the woods, and when the cavalry rushed over, the archers took the lead.
"There's an ambush."
"Kill."
The cavalry were fearless, relying on the advantage of their armor without many casualties, and when the soldiers behind felt it, they immediately began to attack the mountains and forests.
When the archers saw that the situation was not good, they all immediately withdrew.
The result is a successful induction ambush failure.
When more soldiers and horses arrived, all the soldiers of Wei State withdrew, and neither side took advantage, and Shan Xiongxin was very depressed.
In order to be able to prevent the enemy, the main force was distributed and stationed in the suburbs, and now the enemy is going the opposite way and wants to defeat the main force first, and the next battle is really hard to say.
Shan Xiongxin is the most passive in Wagang City, and now he hopes that the soldiers and horses outside will not be found, and if he can delay for one more day, he will make the enemy consume one more day.
Compared with the reserve list, Xiongxin believes that they will be the ones who can be consumed in the end.
When Li Shimin woke up, he didn't react much to the attack of the Wei soldiers and asked the soldiers to continue their duties.
"Wuji, it seems that Shan Xiongxin is in a hurry."
"If you want to attack the camp, these things are too underestimated, as long as the soldiers find the place where their soldiers and horses are stationed, victory will eventually be on His Highness's side."
"The biggest reason why they can hide and not be discovered is that they are in the mountains, and they sent people into the mountains to find them and bring them enough compressed biscuits."
The compressed biscuits that Li Shimin obtained only had the reserves that Changsun Wuji had purchased before, and they were all intended to be used at a critical time, and Changsun Wuji was a little reluctant to consume these things now.
The equipment for the production of compressed biscuits is in Chang'an, and it was originally possible to buy cheap goods, but it has not been easy since returning to Taiyuan.
Although the caravan will bring back some every time, the number is still limited, and now the internal relationship of the Li family is so stiff, and the trade transaction has been restricted, it can be said that compressing cookies is a little less.
It can be purchased from Youzhou, but the price is not so favorable, and now the money they reserve is good to be used in key places, and it will definitely not be used for compressed biscuits anyway.
Li Shimin sent 3,000 men as a waiter to the soldiers and horses of the Wei State in search of Wei, and in order to reduce the possibility of exposure, they all ate compressed biscuits.
Everyone carries a ten-day supply, but the plan is to find the target in three days.
All you can do now is wait for the message.
"Mowgli, how's the catapult preparing?"
"At present, fifty units have been assembled, but we don't carry much fire oil, and I am asking people to make fireballs out of bamboo strips and leaves, which are not very powerful, and it is okay to use them to create chaos."
"Be sure to be well prepared before the battle, this battle is only allowed to be won and not lost."
Li Shimin is very serious, he really blocked everything, if he doesn't show his achievements, it will be unimaginable for him to wait for him.
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, he could understand Li Shimin's pressure, and his eldest grandson's family also gambled on everything.
The Wei soldiers hid in shelters that had been prepared long ago, with food reserves and mountains of buckets.
If they want to survive in the mountains, water is the most important thing, and since they know it, the enemy knows it too.
There are some scouts who are specifically looking for and watching the water source in the mountain, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to send it.
To their disappointment, there was no one all along.
Shan Xiongxin had thought of this for a long time, so he used buckets to reserve a large amount of water before the battle began.
According to the reserves, the soldiers could hide for at least half a month, and several caves were specially dug into cisterns to store fresh water.
