Chapter 176: Bitter Battle (Part II) (Ask for Subscription)

After three hours of hard fighting, it was not until night gradually fell that Geridoro ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.

First, nearly 10,000 cavalrymen, eager to wash away their shame, took turns to shoot at the defenders led by Gongsun Du, until an hour passed, and the damage exceeded 3,000, and then Gezhidora let them return to the camp and replace them with another group of men.

The men had eaten their lunch, and their energy was high, and an even more ferocious fire unfolded.

At the same time, Gřidoro also ordered the construction of a second earthen fort to form an angle with the previous earthen fort to restrain Gongsun Du's energy from the left and right wings. In this regard, Gongsun Du had to increase the number of defenders.

The increase in the number of people does greatly enhance the defense, but it also increases the chance of injury, if it is not for the armor better defense than before, and the number of military doctors, the number of deaths will increase several times.

Rao is like this, and the losses are also very heavy. After some counting, more than 1,380 people were killed in the battle, and more than 3,000 were injured, that is, more than 5,000 were damaged, which is almost half of Houcheng's strength.

It can be described as extremely disastrous.

"This Gřidoro is really not simple, it's not simple!"

Gongsun Du let out a long sigh and said to Yang Yi: "Immediately send someone to send a message to Xu Rong, tell him that there is no need to wait for reinforcements from other cities to gather, and let him immediately bring troops to help." ”

"But you don't have to go into the city, it's outside the city...... Xiazhai formed a horn with Houcheng, so that Gzhidoro did not dare to attack with all his strength. If Gřidoro is not aware, I believe he knows what to do. ”

Yang Yi was very irritable in his heart, not because the pro-army team had suffered too much loss, but because he was worried that after the loss was too great, he would not be able to hold the city and endanger the safety of Gongsun Du. When he heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, lord." ”

Gongsun Du watched Yang Yi leave quickly, and then said to Huang Zhong: "Han Sheng, you still can't slack off at this time, I am worried that Gridoro will take advantage of the weakness of our army at this time to carry out a night attack, so we must do a good job of defending at night." ”

"Yes, my lord."

After Gongsun Du finished speaking, he went to visit the wounded soldier today.

……

At night, Gřidoro really had the idea of a sneak attack, but the losses during the day were not less than Gongsun Du, or even a little more, more than 1,800 people were killed, and more were injured, nearly 10,000 people, but they were basically minor injuries, for the grassland warriors, this little injury can be regarded as nothing!

He felt that Gongsun Du's positional combat ability should be the best of the best, which he had never encountered. Therefore, he believed that Gongsun Du would never relax his defense at night, and would inevitably increase unnecessary casualties, so he gave up.

However, the situation of tens of thousands of people vomiting and diarrhea during the day made him strengthen his defense at night. He still let Su Li's men wander outside the camp, but the range was less than five miles. The distance is shortened, the number of people is not reduced, and the defensive intensity is greatly increased.

Half of the guards were divided into a net-like defense of the interior of the camp.

That night, when the underworld team escaped the defense of the periphery and came to the edge of the camp, they were dumbfounded.

"This ...... It's too tight! What to do? ”

"Like yesterday? Give the dummy? ”

"No, it's one, it's not two. Yesterday they were fooled, but today? Hehe, they've stepped up their guard, look over there. ”

Hiss~

Qi Qi gasped, and the movement was so loud that it almost attracted the attention of the Xianbei soldiers who were on vigil.

"Insidious!"

"Cunning!"

"It's too insidious!"

"It's so cunning!"

…… There was silence.

"What should I do, do you want to attack?"

"Storming? It's almost like dying if you want to die! ”

"You ......"

"What are you, don't forget what the lord said, we are a small force, suitable for surprise attacks, not suitable for frontal combat."

"Alright. Don't fight, retreat now, go and report the news to the lord, and the rest of the people will go with a certain person to the Xianbei water source, where they can't prevent it. ”

"Yes!

……

Early in the morning, after Gongsun Du got the news, he was silent, and it was not until this that he was completely thorough, and he really understood that Gřidoro was a very powerful and difficult opponent, and if he was not careful, he might lose the whole game. In order to ensure victory, Gongsun Du had no choice but to send out the hidden team hidden in the pro-soldier team to cooperate with the underworld team.

The ghost team, like a soul, swept through the border, but no one could detect it; The underworld team is Shura, the black and white impermanence of life, bull head and horse face.

Netherworld is synonymous with death!

Gongsun Du calmed down a little, and after breakfast, he walked up to the wall of the urn city.

Gřidoro was not so comfortable, relieved, not far from the camp, and repeated the mistakes of yesterday, and it was even more serious, there were more than 20,000 people, serious, and even began to vomit up and down immediately, that scene, it was simple!

The dark-faced Gzhidoro can only rejoice, fortunately there are only more than 20,000, less than 30,000 people, if everyone is like this, heh, no need to fight, no need to run, just wait for Gongsun Du to harvest the head.

According to yesterday's treatment, Su Li, who had a sad face, left two thousand people behind and returned to the camp with these sick numbers.

When he came to the west gate of Houcheng, he first replaced the 5,000 men and horses on the two earthen forts and asked them to go back to eat and rest.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Du wanted to take advantage of the night to destroy the earth fort last night, but he didn't really order it to do so, so he just harassed it.

Subsequently, Gřidoro did not use any new tricks, just like yesterday, sent people to climb the earthen fort and shoot at Gongsun Du.

You!

I!

From morning till night, it's like this. This made Gongsun Du couldn't help but wonder if Gzhidoro had no tricks, and planned to fight like this, but after Gzhidoro retreated in the evening and left 5,000 people to stay in the earthen fort, after getting the news from the Netherworld, he faintly understood.

First, there are indeed netherworld laxatives, which make its strength lose a lot; Second, there is also the idea of fighting, but more of it is a small action in the dark, and he actually began to dig in the north of the city, wanting to dig up the north city wall in one fell swoop.

Digging down the city wall, this is the main method of Xianbei and other cavalry-based alien races to conquer the Han land, they capture the Han people outside the city for excavation, dig under the city wall, and after the city wall is collapsed, they can go straight into the city and exert the advantage of cavalry.

"Insidious!"

Gongsun Du thought of this word with a gloomy face. And, there was another sentence that he would love to ask Gerzydoro—

"The two of us, who is more like the Han people?"

Well, the Han people are not insidious, they just apply all kinds of tactics reasonably, not the practice of attracting attention in another place, such as Gzhidoro, who secretly uses cold arrows.

Gongsun Du was glad that he had dug a secret passage in the north of the city last year, and that it had not yet been discovered by the people of Gřidoro. Otherwise, he would have had to wait until the walls collapsed to find out when his eyes were all drawn to the west.

I don't blame Gongsun Du, in fact, it was the appearance of the earth fort, which really surprised him to the extreme. Because it's not supposed to be at this time, it's going to be many years away! Gongsun Du even wondered if someone had crossed over like him, but it was just that he had crossed over from Yuanmeng's morale to the grassland at this time, and the time and place were different.

But this is just speculation, and besides, it's not so reliable. Besides, even if it were, it would have to wait until 181 when Gzhidoro or Sandalwood Tree escaped fate. Otherwise, even if it's true, dead is dead.

On this night, Gongsun Du still asked people to harass the Xianbei army who stayed behind in the earthen fort to attract their attention. Then all the cavalry, including the heavy cavalry, was sent out, and from the east gate out of the city, they ran en masse near the north gate, trampling on the "trick" of Gzhidoro. When the Xianbei soldiers who stayed behind in the earthen fort in the west noticed it, and when they came again, the Han cavalry had already run away.

Before dawn, Gřidoro received the news that the plan was exposed, which made him both angry and a feeling that he had expected it-

"Bitter fighting, it seems inevitable!"

"I just don't know what kind of arrangement there will be for adults!"
