Zhang Zhongjian never thought that defense was the best choice, and after the Zhang family's spies collected the news of Youzhou, although he didn't say anything about Li De, he appreciated it very much in his heart.

The battlefield is to attack and defeat the enemy, this is what a man should do, and he is not really brainless enough to prove himself through something.

Preparing for a night attack was actually his tactic.

"General Zhang, do you really want to take people out of the city, the other party has 300,000 soldiers and horses, and it is really too risky to go out of the city rashly."

Xiao Mo was very opposed to this matter after learning about it, so the two were discussing, obviously Xiao Mo did not impress Zhang Zhongjian.

"If you can drive the enemy away and take risks, 50,000 soldiers and horses will be dispatched en masse, as long as you give the other party the impression that Jiangling soldiers and horses are sufficient to dare to fight, don't forget that they will not choose to fight to the end under unknown circumstances, don't you believe me?"

Zhang Zhongjian insisted again and again, Xiao Mo also pondered for a long time and finally agreed, and now there is no other way for him to enter, after all, Zhang Zhongjian is in charge of the army.

Moreover, now is the time to face a crisis, if he does not support him, he will not be able to do anything, but it may affect the cooperation between the two companies.

The moonlight hung high, the weather at night was not as good as during the day, and the light of the moon was almost ineffective in the dark clouds.

The Turkic soldiers and horses thirty miles away were not so cautious, they knew too well the habits of the soldiers and horses of the Sui State, and they seemed to be the safest within the city walls.

If it were them, I believe they would choose to stay in the city as well.

They didn't know that Zhang Zhongjian had personally led his troops out of the city, and they didn't have many cavalry, so it was more convenient for them to approach quietly.

"Do it!"

Zhang Zhongjian took the lead in the attack with the elite, and the entire Turkic camp began to assemble, and just when they found the target and began to act, they were attacked by a large number of soldiers and horses in several directions.

While the Turks were coping, a hundred-man black-clad cavalry suddenly rushed in and began to set fire to the camp, hooking the tent with their claws and destroying it with the help of horses.

It didn't take long for them to cause a large number of them, and they also tried to attack the area where the grain and grass were relatively concentrated.

But after all, there were too many people on the other side, and they didn't succeed.

By the time the Turks began to organize a counterattack, Zhang Zhongjian had already released the signal to retreat, and then 50,000 soldiers and horses quickly withdrew.

The way to retreat was not easy, after all, they had to face the cavalry, they suffered a great loss, fortunately they acted at night, and the cavalry did not exert much combat effectiveness in the end.

Zhang Zhongjian took people back to the city, and he was also very surprised after counting the battle damage, and lost more than 2,000 people in a night attack.

Thirty miles away, the fire continued into the morning, because they did not have so much water to fight the fire, so they had to let the supplies burn.

The Turkic generals are still confused, the soldiers and horses of the Sui State in the past are not like this, why have they been defeated twice in a row.

Yesterday's losses were nothing for the supply of 300,000 soldiers and horses, but they were amazed by their courage and courage.

For a day, the Turkic soldiers were cleaning up the pieces, but they did not leave, and the cordon around the garrison was strengthened, and the number of patrol cavalry was increased.

On the city wall, Zhang Zhongjian kept looking into the distance, and did not find the enemy for a day.

"General Zhang, it seems that the night attack was successful, they should leave quickly." Xiao Mo has already begun to be optimistic.

But Zhang Zhongjian was not so relaxed, his brows kept frowning, was yesterday's night attack successful, and the damage caused to the enemy could not be counted.

According to his guess, the Turks should retaliate and attack the city, and the current situation made him uncertain.

"Xiao Cheng's defense of the enemy is still stationed thirty miles away, so we can't take it lightly." Zhang Zhongjian reminded.

His feeling was not wrong, the Turkic generals were really angry this time, they did not accept consecutive defeats, so after repairing they decided to attack the city.

Early in the morning of the third day, 300,000 enemy soldiers had already surrounded the city.

"General Zhang, you see what to do now." It was the first time for Xiao Mo to face such a situation in person, and he was really panicked.

"Now you have to defend and fend off their attacks, that's the only way out now." Zhang Zhongjian said.

He had already sent people to count the enemy's situation, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses were not too much less, which shows that there was not much attrition caused during the night attack.

When I thought of this, I felt a little frustrated in my heart, and it was useless to say anything now, just look at this fight.

He was not wrong in his thinking, the Turkic generals just couldn't wipe their faces, so they had to attack the city with all their might, but it was also within the range of casualties they could bear.

It's for morale rather than really desperate.

"Archers, don't let them get close to the city."

Zhang Zhongjian was shouting, the Turkic cavalry was very fast, they carried the crashing wood, if they let them knock the city gate open, what was waiting for them would be the destruction of the city.

The soldiers defending the city knew what was going on, and most of them who didn't have bows and arrows were in a hurry, so they could only use some stones to stop them, but the other side was a cavalry and didn't mean to be afraid of the city wall at all.

There wasn't even a ladder, and the stones were all used to hail the people rushing through the door, but it was really hard to hit.

Zhang Zhongjian was also in a hurry, and immediately arranged for people to guard behind the city gate, and used crowd tactics to resist the gate.

"Hold on."

"Boom!"

The door was still slammed, and the entire door frame of the gate shook, and all the people behind the door were forced, in fact, their blocking was useless.

It would be more useful to prop up a few stakes than they did.

But no one would tell them.

"Boom!"

Again, the door frame of the city gate shook even more, and a lot of dust had fallen from the frame and stone wall.

"Boom!"

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

"Hold on!" Zhang Zhongjian knew that the situation was not good, and he really couldn't do anything on the city wall.

"General Zhang, what can we do?" Xiao Mo knew that the situation was wrong, but out of the city government, he was not as flustered as he thought at this time.

"City Lord Xiao, you take the people and leave quickly, I will lead the soldiers to buy time for you."

Zhang Zhongjian is also a righteous person, he really has nothing to covet Xiao Milling, and he can make the other party escape, maybe he can do it for him.

"General Zhang, let's go together." Although Xiao Mo said this, he was not stupid, if there were no Jiangling soldiers, he would still be the same wherever he went.

Wang Tu hegemony has just started and ended like this, he is really unwilling in his heart, but he is still a little cautious, if Zhang Zhongjian can lead some soldiers and horses to leave, they can make a comeback.

Zhang Zhongjian didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time, anyway, whether he left or not was the other party's business, and he didn't need to persuade him bitterly.

His life is his own, and no one can make decisions for him.
