Zhang Lun shook his head, whispered a few words of advice, and waved his cousin away.

Zhang Lun squinted his eyes slightly, fighting at the head of the city, looking like an old fox with a big beard.

Regardless of friend or foe, no one will like people who are in battle repeatedly, it is easy to sacrifice the city, but meritorious but not necessarily, and he Zhang Lun came from a humble background, so he can't make this decision easily.

Li Zhongwen, Jiang Baoyi asked for surrender if he opened the city, and then he must be a high-ranking official, and the children of the big lords were born to take advantage.

And he Zhang Lun...... If you give it to the captured Li Zhongwen and Jiang Baoyi, can it appease people's hearts?

Zhang Lun doesn't look rough on the outside, but his wit is no worse than others......

As a result, the south of the city was still as quiet as ever, Buqun was bored with the army under the city, and the Tang soldiers who were guarding the city also dozed off on the battlements, not because the Tang soldiers lacked a sense of tension, but because they had been nervous for too long, and they did feel tired.

And the defenders of the Tang Army in the north and east of the city were not so lucky.

Yuwen Wok led his troops to storm the east city, saying that it was a temptation, but once the battle against the city really started, the difference would not be too big.

Ant-like soldiers, holding shields and carrying ladders, approached under the city walls.

Arrows rained down on the city walls, and from time to time soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, but few people cared about the casualties of their comrades, and just moved forward.

When they came to the city wall, the stones on the head of the city were mixed with arrows and fell one after another, some people were hit by the stones and their heads were broken and bleeding, and some were pierced by arrows, and the screams and shouts of killing up and down the city wall were all in one piece, and finally the strongest note of the war was played.

Blood is flowing, and human lives are dying.

A series of ladders climbed the not tall city wall of Jiexiu.

On behalf of the soldiers of the two states, they climbed the ladder with stones and arrows, and desperately climbed to the top of the city.

From time to time, someone screamed and fell down the ladder, but soon someone climbed to the top of the city.

What awaited them was the stabbing of spears and the slashing of swords.

The most tragic siege warfare of the war was thus unveiled and its ugly and hideous face was exposed.

This is not actually a magnificent picture, but a Shura field with blood as paint, corpses as decorations, and dying screams as notes.

When the soldiers of the two states struggled to climb to the top of the cloud ladder, the casualties of the Tang army on the city wall immediately increased.

They have exposed a lot of shortcomings, low morale, insufficient combat effectiveness, poor command of generals, etc., etc., this is obviously a patchwork army, not a strong force of the Tang Army.

Of course, this is not appropriate, the war has been going on to this day, in fact, whether it is the righteous army or the officers and soldiers, the combat effectiveness has shown great progress, and the military in the peaceful season has been incomparable with them.

Dou Jiande's defeat of Yu Culture in Hebei and the Kansai Xiaoguo led by him are actually a typical example.

If it had been left a few years ago, how could the chaotic rebel army defeat the well-equipped emperor's army?

What surprised Yuwen Wok a little was that in the first offensive, some soldiers climbed to the top of the city.

But this was only a flash in the pan, and it was a proof of the courage and skill of the soldiers of the two states, but it was not enough to change the direction of the war in a short period of time.

There were too many Tang troops stationed in the city, and when the jerkiness caused by their sudden battle quickly faded, it was not so easy to break through the city wall when the siege army had a lot of spare strength.

At dusk, the remnant sun was like blood, and the last of the soldiers who had withdrawn returned to the army, symbolizing the end of the day's fighting.

Yu Wenwei did not rush to lead the army back to the camp, and counted the casualties first.

The leading generals sent people to report one after another, but the casualties were not large, and more than 800 soldiers were injured in the half-day siege battle.

Looking at the head of the city that was still in full swing, Yuwen Wok smiled coldly, the defenders in the city were nothing more than that, and it was a matter of time before they broke through the city.

It's just a matter of who among the generals will attack Jiexiu first.

And what makes him quite grateful is that as a descendant, he can lead an army alone and take on heavy responsibilities, such a mind and trust are enough for him to show all his skills and talents.

Because he knows that regardless of the civil officials of the two states, there are many talented people in the army, even if he is asked to escort grain and grass, there is nothing strange about it, and there is no room for existence in such a large army.

There are too many people available, and he Yuwen Wok has no advantage compared to those Daizhou generals who have been through a hundred battles, except for the fact that he was born in the big lord Yuwen clan.

………………………………

The battle in Beicheng was much more fierce than that in Dongcheng, and Beicheng was after all guarded by Li Zhongwen, the governor of Jiezhou, and it was also the direction of the main attack of the siege army.

This is undoubtedly a hard-fought battle.

In the setting sun, the arrows stuck to the ground like artemisia, and the army had already collected some of the corpses, leaving only a few mottled blood stains on the ground.

At the end of the city wall, there were many corpses lying on the ground, and the soldiers would not venture to clean up the mess, the smell of blood wafting through the air, and the strange corpses that could be seen would cause all kinds of discomfort to the recruits who were going to the battlefield for the first time.

But whether it is the Tang army or the siege army, the number of recruits can be described as very small.

When night came, the smoke rose into the sky, and the bitter murderous aura of the day finally dissipated somewhat.

Some of the pillars of smoke were particularly thick, they were the two armies burning the corpses of the dead soldiers, and the smell was a little worse than the smell of blood during the day.

Li Po once again ordered the gathering of the infantry generals in the big tent of the Chinese army.

This time, it was more similar to the Turks, with a low table set up in the big tent of the Chinese army, and everyone sat on the ground, gnawing on the bones of sheep while discussing the war during the day.

Compared with the Turks, it may be that there is less alcohol, and the alcohol has been banned in the army for a long time, and the various discomforts that arise do not need to be repeated one by one, and this military discipline has been implemented more thoroughly.

The battle didn't go well, there were some casualties, well, it didn't go well, it was just compared to storming the city in one go.

The infantry generals were not much frustrated, and the temptation was like this.

Tomorrow's war is the time to see the real chapter.

Li Po was in the main position, and after listening to it for a long time, he roughly had a bottom in his heart.

When all the generals had eaten and spoke, Li Po patted the table and looked around, and the generals immediately threw down the bits and pieces in their hands and got up one after another to listen to the order.

Li Po's voice sounded, "Zhang Lun, the guard of Nancheng, has not moved for a day...... Zhang Lun was born in a humble background, he is an old general of Yanmen, and he has higher merit than Li Zhongwen and others, guarding the southern city...... Haha, in this way, I'm afraid there is a disagreement between the generals of the Tang Army......"

"Tonight, I will repair a few letters, let people shoot into the city, and persuade this Deputy Chief Zhang."

Hearing this, all the generals showed some smiles on their faces, and the plan of discord was unpleasant, and I don't know if the Tang Army will be in chaos?

Li Po gradually restrained his smile, "These are all speculations, and they can't be done accurately, the army fights depends on your talents and the courage of your subordinates." ”

"Today's temptation, you should all know in your hearts, Jiang Baoyi's department in the east of the city, it is difficult to defend the city, and there is no tacit understanding at all, Yuwen Wok, Wei Chikai."

"The end will be."

"The two of you will lead 30,000 troops to attack the east of the city tomorrow, you don't need to leave any spare strength, if you can break through the east of the city, the two of you will be the first in this battle, if you can't break the city, don't let the defenders be overwhelmed, ask for help from the north of the city."

"Chen Yuan, Wei Chixin."

"The end will be."

"The two of you each lead their elite troops to attack the north of the city, before noon tomorrow, don't be too impatient, just follow the steps like today."

"When the Tang army relaxes, or the east of the city is in chaos, the two of you will immediately lead your troops to storm the north of the city."

"Ladies and gentlemen, although there are 30,000 Tang troops, as long as the city wall is lost, the Tang army will become a turtle in the urn...... If it takes a lot of time to break a small town, you and I might as well go back to Jinyang as soon as possible, wait for the world to be peaceful, what else do you want to do? I lost my life......"

The last words are very difficult to hear, and all the generals know that this is the words of the generals, but when they walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone still breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The cavalry won every battle, and when they did, most of them were victorious.

And what about the infantry army?

Therefore, even if they saved for a few more days and then tried their best to attack the city, they didn't say anything in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wei Chixin and Yuwen Wok immediately went together, and several other people also went to Chen Yuan's tent, and the competition between the two departments became a reality.

The Tang army led by Yuwen Wok will not talk about the soldiers, but the soldiers under the command of Wei Chixin were formed by the old foundation of the Hengan Town Army, and their combat power is extraordinary.

The others were unwilling to give up the credit for breaking the city to others, so they naturally tried their best to attack the city tomorrow.

And Li Po also thought about it in the account at this time, Wei Chigong has already taken the Bird Mouse Valley, the southern county is shaken, and there is already a trend of forming an army, and he can't delay the battle for too long.

Although the siege of the city and reinforcements should be the specialty of the Daizhou cavalry, but in this battle, Li Po did not intend to do so, as long as Jiexiu was safely won this year, the entire annexed state would be complete.

No matter how wonderful this process is, it is not as good as following the step-by-step process, and it is reassuring to work steadily.

Because in Li Po's view, this is not a war with the Turks, it is much more complicated to compete for power in the south, there are no cattle, sheep and war horses, only cities and people, and land that can grow food.

He wants to occupy these places, not just kill, and he must take one step at a time, which is Li Po's warning to himself, and it will also definitely affect all kinds of strategies in the future.

……………………

In the middle of the night, several arrows with letters were fired into the city.

Soon, there were two letters in Zhang Lun's hands, Zhang Lun looked at it, scratched his beard and smiled bitterly.

So cunning...... Yunnei Li Ding'an is worthy of his reputation......
