Chapter 34 Repeating the Old Tricks

Ten miles northeast of Anbian City, Li Tianlong stood in the leader's tent in a depressed mood, and it was cold and cold all night in the wild, and it would not be easy to put it on anyone's body.

Li Tagu's mood was naturally not good, in order to capture Anbian City from inside and outside, he first sent soldiers to dig up the ancestral graves of the Tang people to lure the main force of the Hengye Army to fight, and then sent the most experienced fine work into Anbian City, waiting for an opportunity to take the action of seizing the east gate.

But two days have passed, but his meticulous work has not completed the task, and now, he has lost contact, which makes Li Tagu wonder if his meticulous work has been completely wiped out by the Tang army in the city.

Li Tianlong held back his breath, the fat on his cheeks trembled, and he hugged his fists and said: "Chief, it's useless to count on these fine works, let's let the last general lead the army to attack Anbian City from the front!" ”

Li Tagu thought about it again and again, and nodded: "Li Tianlong, you immediately lead an army of 5,000 to attack Anbian City, and this leader will lead the remaining soldiers and horses to reinforce later." ”

"The last will obey."

Li Tianlong was overjoyed, and with a confident face, he turned around and went to prepare.

###

In the northwest corner of Anbian City, the well-fed and well-fed fleeing people are resting, and among them, there are hidden spies of the Tibetan army, and at the same time, there are also brothers from the White Wolf Village.

Li An took out twenty brothers from the White Wolf Village, disguised them as fleeing civilians, and mixed them in the crowd, so that he could better monitor the crowd and find out the hidden spies of the Tibetan army.

"Big brother, there are more than 10,000 elites in the Tibetan army, why don't they attack the city yet, what are they waiting for?"

Li Kunxiong asked curiously.

Li An smiled lightly: "Anbian City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the losses of the Tibetan army will be very large, so they want to cooperate with the outside and use the spies to create chaos in the city, or take advantage of the chaos to capture the east gate, so that they can use the smallest loss to break through the city." ”

"Hmph, the conspiracy of the Fan army is smart, but it is difficult for these spies to exert their strength, and the plan of the Fan army will not succeed."

Li An looked in the northeast direction and said softly: "The conspiracy of the Fan army will not succeed, but they will not give up Anbian City easily, perhaps, they will attack the city soon." ”

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

As soon as Li An's words fell, the drums of preparation for war sounded from the direction of the south gate.

"Big brother, the Fan army is ready to attack the city."

Kunxiong, Feiyu and the others all became nervous and immediately stood up.

Li An waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said calmly: "There is Guo Ziyi in the direction of the south gate, you don't have to worry too much, the spies of the Fan army here are the big trouble, I think they must be very excited when they hear the drums, and they can't hold back for long." ”

Li Fei Shouyu nodded lightly: "Okay, are we going to lure the snake out of the hole again?" ”

Li An and Li Fei Shouyu glanced at each other, smiled at the corner of their mouths, and nodded tacitly.

####

Outside the south gate of Anbian City.

Li Tianlong personally led 5,000 elite cavalry to a position less than 500 steps away from the city wall, and all jumped off his horses and set up an offensive formation.

Li Tianlong, who had a cross-faced face, looked at the city wall not far ahead, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, in his opinion, he had five thousand troops under his command, and the other party's soldiers and horses defending the city were only a few hundred, and the difference in strength was huge, and it was only a matter of time before he broke through Anbian City.

Upstairs at the city gate, Guo Ziyi looked out of the city with an angry face, his eyes were full of perseverance and self-confidence, he did not have the slightest fear of more than ten times the soldiers and horses in front of him.

"Woo woo woo ......"

With Li Tianlong's arm suddenly thrown down, the horn of the Tibetan army's attack suddenly sounded.

"Kill ......"

Five thousand soldiers of the Tibetan army, accompanied by rudimentary siege equipment such as siege engines and ladders, shouted and killed Anbian City.

These simple siege equipment were urgently prepared in the past two days, the Tibetan army did not have too skilled craftsmen, large siege weapons, they could not manufacture, moreover, the terrain here is sloping, too heavy equipment, can not be pushed to the city wall at all.

The soldiers of the Tibetan army attacked the south gate of Anbian City along the slope of 30 degrees, and this kind of feint attack was very exhausting for the soldiers.

The soldiers of the Hengye Army who were standing on the city wall to defend were waiting for their work, and easily aimed the bows and crossbows in their hands at these soldiers of the Tibetan army who were rushing.

Guo Ziyi, who was sitting at the south gate, did not care about his own safety at all, he stood at the lookout in the middle of the city gate tower, staring at the attacking soldiers of the Tibetan army, his expression became more and more cold.

The soldiers of the Fan army were getting closer and closer, and soon entered the range of the bow and crossbow, Guo Ziyi waved his hand: "Release the arrow." ”

"Whoosh ......"

A rain of arrows whistled down, turning the soldiers of the Tibetan army who rushed to the forefront into hedgehogs.

However, the soldiers of the Tibetan army, relying on the superiority of their strength, completely ignored this loss and continued to rush under the city wall, and soon approached the city wall.

After setting up the ladder, a large number of soldiers of the Tibetan army held shields and killed on the city wall, and the Tibetan army around the ladder was even more black.

"Rolling wood, rock, smash me."

Guo Ziyi would not pity the soldiers of the Tibetan army who were besieging the city, and gave orders mercilessly.

Wood and stones rained down from the sky, killing and injuring a large number of the soldiers under the city wall, but they still could not stop the soldiers from continuing to attack.

The Fan army climbed up the ladder to the outside of the female wall, and fought with the Hengye army defending the city through the female wall, and the Fan army under the city bent their bows and arrows and shot at the city wall to cover the soldiers besieging the city.

Looking at the soldiers of the Tibetan army who were besieging the city extremely fiercely, Guo Ziyi looked serious, and scolded his subordinates from time to time, asking his subordinates to fight with all their might, and if there was any retreat, he would be executed immediately.

The offensive and defensive battles outside the south gate can be described as extremely fierce, and in the northwest corner of the city, many fleeing people heard the sound of fighting from the south, all of them became nervous, they entered the city to take refuge, if the city was broken by the Tibetan army, they would inevitably suffer.

In order to take care of these people who fled into the city and let them eat and drink well, Zhang Qiqiu deliberately raised enough grain and grass from the city, and piled up these grain and grass in a courtyard in the northwest corner of the city, and put them under the noses of the fleeing people, so that these fleeing people would naturally feel at ease.

Zhang Qiqiu dispatched 50 Hengye troops and 100 Minzhuang to guard the grain and grass to prevent the spies of the Fan army from destroying them.

"Stepping on ......"

A fast horse galloped quickly, and under the noses of many fleeing people, he rushed into the courtyard where the grain and grass were stored.

"The south gate is in an emergency, the south gate is in an emergency, everyone immediately picks up their weapons and reinforces the south gate with me."

The cavalry shouted at the top of their voices, and asked the fifty Hengye soldiers and one hundred Minzhuang, who were responsible for guarding the grain, to immediately go to reinforce the south gate.

"And what about all this food?"

The cavalry was furious: "Bastard, if Anbian City is breached, these grains are not all from the Tibetan army, the general has an order, let you immediately follow me to reinforce the south gate, be fast." ”

When everyone heard the order, they had to pick up their weapons, follow behind the cavalry, and quickly run in the direction of the south gate.

The urgency of the south gate made many of the fleeing people very nervous, and they all prayed in their hearts, hoping that the Yokono army would be able to hold Anbian Castle and let them escape the catastrophe.

Of course, the spies of the Tibetan army mixed with the fleeing people, when they heard the news of the emergency at the south gate, they were all overjoyed, and this excitement was very difficult to hide, and their proud expressions were soon reflected in the eyes of the brothers in the White Wolf Village, so as to roughly judge that they were spies.

The news of the urgency at the south gate soon spread throughout the northwest corner of the city, which made everyone nervous and restless, and the Fan army traitors took advantage of the opportunity when everyone was nervous and relaxed their vigilance, and quietly touched the courtyard full of grain and grass.

Groups of three or five of the Tibetan army spies entered the courtyard where the grain and grass were stacked from different directions, and converged in the center of the courtyard.

"There are piles of grain and grass here, and if they are all burned, the people will be in a panic, and then the city will become chaotic, and the war at the south gate will be smoother."

"That's right, this time, we failed to complete the task successfully, and we also lost more than a dozen warriors, if we don't make up for it, I'm afraid the leader won't spare us."

The two spies of the Fan army whispered.

The leader of the Fan army nodded: "Start acting immediately and burn all this grain and grass." ”

"Yes, understood."

The spies of the Tibetan army accepted the order and prepared to carry out the operation.

However, they never dreamed that the seemingly unguarded courtyard had already been ambushed by Li An, and at this moment, more than twenty bows and arrows were aimed at them.

Li An glanced at Li Fei Shouyu beside him, and ordered: "Release the arrow." ”

"Whoosh ......"

More than 20 arrows roared and flew towards the spies of the Tibetan army, and more than ten people were shot on the spot, causing the spies of the Tibetan army to lose half of them.

Li An, Kunxiong and Feiyu immediately ran out of the hidden house and threw a short spear at the Tibetan army.

"Uh......"

Several of the spies of the Tibetan army couldn't dodge and were pierced through their entire bodies.

Looking at the fallen companions one by one, the remaining Fan army spies were shocked, they had already fallen into Li An's plan to lure the snake out of the hole last time, and lost more than ten warriors, and now, they fell into the same trick again.

In the same position, he actually fell down twice in a row, and the depression of the Fan military traitor's careful head can be imagined, and Li An's strategy is not clever, the fault is that the task given to them by Li Tagu is too urgent, and they have to complete the arduous task in a very short time, and if they are in a hurry, they are naturally prone to make mistakes.

Li An smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth, looked at the few remaining spies of the Fan army, and said coldly: "It's just a few of you, surrender!" ”

The leader of the Fan army had a miserable smile on the corner of his mouth: "Do you think my people are all here?" ”

"Huh! There are still accomplices, it seems that you still have a back hand, but with the lesson of the last time, how can we not be prepared. ”

Li An said and looked outside the gate, only to see Zhang Erniu leading more than ten brothers, escorting two people who looked like ordinary people, and strode in.
