Ma Hua and Fu Dingyuan reported back to the left three phases, and the left three phases had already led the people to meet them halfway.

Zuo Sanxiang saw that there were only twelve people left behind Ma Hua, and he knew what was going on, and hurriedly dismounted to appease.

Ma Hua also got off the horse and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and the left three ministers helped him up, "I can't blame you for stealing the camp this time, it's good that you can come back, it can be seen that the enemy army is not only stupid pigs and stupid cows, but also powerful people!" ”

Fu Dingyuan also dismounted and asked for guilt, "The subordinates did not rescue effectively, resulting in a lot of losses to the Ma commander, please punish Zuo Shuai!" ”

Zuo Sanxiang waved his hand, "Both of you are innocent, I haven't seen you when I saw Yin, so I ordered soldiers and horses to meet you!" Let's talk about any military intelligence when I go back to the camp! ”

Ma Hua thought that he would definitely be punished, but Zuo Sanxiang didn't say a word of blame, which made him even more sad.

"Zuo Shuai, his subordinates underestimated the enemy, resulting in the failure of the stealing camp, if you don't punish me, I can't get along with myself!"

Zuo Sanxiang patted his forehead, "Ma Hua, shame and courage, as long as you are not dead, the heavy responsibility of avenging your brothers is on you, this time it is just to find out the reality of the enemy, even you have to fight to the death to break through, this time no one will take the enemy lightly!" ”

Then the third minister from the left asked Fu Dingyuan to explore the situation of the enemy camp, and Fu Dingyuan told him about the enemy's dam.

Zuo Sanxiang frowned, and then smiled again: "Finally met the opponent!" This time I went to the camp and stole well! ”

Back in Luntai City, the one hundred and six people who came back were entertained by the whole sheep banquet on the school field, and everyone was grateful.

Seeing that the time had come, Zuo San cleared his throat, "Ben will always have clear rewards and punishments, this time you must ask, why can people who have lost the battle still get preferential treatment when they come back?" I have come to tell you, these two hundred men went to steal the camp, and it was very difficult, but the enemy army was hundreds of thousands, and their courage alone must be rewarded. I have always been extremely strict in administering the army, and if I have lost 30% of the camp, I will be held accountable, but this time, the blame lies with me, and it is caused by my ignorance of the enemy's situation and underestimating the enemy. It is not easy for MCA and Fu Dingyuan to break through! Of course, there will be soldiers who are not convinced, if you can take a hundred people to steal the camp, and fight better than them, I will be rewarded! ”

Wang Xiaoming's three brothers had long felt that Zuo Sanxiang was protecting the calf, so they lined up together, "I and the other three are willing to take 100 people to steal the camp, if they are not as good as the horse commander, they are willing to be punished, if they are better than the horse commander, please Zuo Shuai do not break his word!" ”

Zuo Sanxiang took out a command flag: "If the three of you can do better than the commander of the horse, Zuo will never break his word, and next time he will reward you, even get the hump out!" ”

Wang Xiaoming took the order, "Thank you Zuo Shuai, can the three brothers and I attack together?" Please also make it clear! ”

"The way of using soldiers, you don't have to stick to the form, as long as you can steal the camp successfully, why not bring three hundred brothers to attack together! Just be careful not to love war, don't be greedy! ”

The commanders of the other battalions felt that the three brothers of the Wang family were not stupid, even Ma Hua was almost killed, and they still had to rush to fight.

Liu Jingchuan couldn't stand it, "Commander Wang, you have to think twice, this Commander Ma and Commander Fu are so brave, they are both very difficult, if you have any accidents, how will you explain to General Wang in the future?" ”

Wang Xiaozhun smiled, "Lord Liu is too worried, we won't send it to death, we will go to the camp tonight, and we will accept it when we see it!" ”

Zuo Sanxiang was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "Well, the army is no longer used, but you are doing the opposite, okay, even if the enemy army is prepared, at least they will not be able to build a dam with peace of mind if they rob the camp again tonight!" ”

Liu Jingchuan heard the word dam and immediately asked, "Zuo Shuai, the enemy occupies the upper reaches, they build a dam to store water, once the ice and snow melt in the future, there is no need for the enemy to fight, this flood can flood Luntai City!" ”

"So Lord Liu thinks we must repel the enemy before they succeed in damming them! The enemy thinks so too, and the damming is just a façade, he

Our supply of more than 100,000 people will not last until the turn of spring and summer next year! ”

Liu Jingchuan sighed in his heart, in fact, the grain and grass of the Western Army could not last next spring, and the Gaochang side never delivered grain.

The stealing camp of the three brothers of the Wang family also hit the nail, and it was all up to their subordinates to fight to the death to break through.

The three brothers who returned to Luntai City suddenly lost their temper, and Zuo Sanxiang came to comfort and persuade him, "The three commanders don't have to be sad, the commander of the Wet Poison Country this time must be a fine person, and he will prevent us from stealing the camp all day and night, so the night attack will not work." There are so many of them, we can do it in rotation to defend! Looks like we're going to have to figure it out! ”

After losing two battles in a row and suffering from demoralization, the left three prime ministers wondered if the enemy would take advantage of the situation to attack the city. Combined with the enemy's actions and cautious play, the left three ministers judged that the enemy army would not rashly attack Luntai City without preparation.

But what happened next made Zuo Sanxiang shudder, he had never seen such a siege strategy.

The overwhelming crowd ran to the two westernmost beacon forts with sticks and stones.

The ground forty feet away from the Beacon Fort was soon full of corpses, but the charging crowd did not stop, but rushed more vigorously.

In less than half an hour, the Wet Poison Man launched seven charges, and by the eighth time, the Liang troops of the two Beacon Castles had no arrows to use.

The Wet Poison infantry quickly rushed to the bottom of the Beacon Castle, and the Liang army used the dark hole left in the fort wall to stab many of the Wet Poison infantry to death with their spears.

The damp poison man still did not flinch, and soon the fort gate was broken, and there was a pile of wet poison corpses lying on the knife cart of the Sebao gate.

The stairs in the Beacon Castle are all built in reverse, and the people under the stairs want to attack it, but the weapons with knives are restricted by the wall, and the defending side on the stairs just holds a shield in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand to blow up the attackers one by one.

However, the damp poison man didn't care about the death toll at all, and under the arrows of the other two Beacon Castles, he forcibly destroyed the Beacon Castle with a sword and axe.

The Liang army of the other two beacon forts who witnessed this scene were dumbfounded, this was completely filling in with human lives, and it was too late to withdraw now.

Zuo Sanxiang took Ma Hua and Fu Ding to the rescue, but five miles outside Luntai City, there were black and oppressive wet poison cavalry waiting in formation.

After rushing and killing three or four times, he couldn't impulse the wet poison man army formation, and the left three prime ministers had to leave the battlefield and return to Luntai City.

Seeing that the remaining Beacon Fort was in danger, the Wet Poison Man collected his troops and returned to the camp.

Zuo Sanxiang was also a little shaken for a while, although the enemy lost thousands of dead and wounded and lost more than 200 people, but if this continues, in another ten days, his own thousands of people will be gone.

Liu Jingchuan looked at the remaining eight Beacon Castles and said his idea, "Wet poison people, this is a way to play with life, we can't fight hard with them, these days we have built four small boats, although it is not very useful, but if you put arrows on the river to contain the enemy army, it is still useful, at least you can delay the time for them to attack the Beacon Castle!" ”

Realizing that the enemy forces on the opposite side had no rules to follow, Zuo Sanxiang not only agreed to Liu Jingchuan's suggestion, but also ordered people to open an additional secret door in the west and north directions of the city wall, and erect a low wall with wooden planks and mud between the city wall and the moat overnight.

It is useless to defend the city at the head of the city with the city walls, and sooner or later the arrows will run out of stones. It is necessary to use the walls to inflict a blow on the enemy outside the city in order to be able to hold it.

Zuo Sanxiang was not wrong this time, the enemy army actually used the same method to attack Luntai City.

Having learned the lesson of the Beacon Castle, the left third phase did not give the order to release the arrows, but waited for these people to rush to the vicinity of the moat and greet them with rolling logs. And in order to be used repeatedly, one end of the rolling log is roped

The rope is attached to the winch, and the lever is used to manipulate the swing of the log to strike the enemy.

The damp poison man was not stupid, and when he saw that the slaves who were impacting were knocked down one after another, he changed his way of attacking.

The Wet Poisoner's arrow array began to follow the slaves and attack the defenders on the wall, firing a salvo of a thousand men at a time, and then retreating back to their own camp after firing ten arrows.

When the archers of 20,000 men had finished shooting, the head of Luntai and the city were full of arrow shafts nailed everywhere. The soldiers who operated the rolling logs were also killed, and only the Liang infantry holding shields remained on the walls.

In the face of such a dense and continuous archery team, the cavalry of the Liang army, which was originally preparing to attack, had to hide in the hiding cave and wait.

While the archers were overpowering the Liang army on the walls, the slaves jumped into the moat with their logs in their arms and swam over.

The Liang army behind the low wall of the moat greeted with bows and arrows and stones, and for a moment the moat was full of floating corpses of wet poison slaves, and the river turned into blood. The archers of the Damp Poison reacted and fired arrows at the base of the wall, but most of them fell on the Damp Poison slaves who were still crossing the river.

With this low wall, it temporarily withstood the attack of the wet poisoners.

After retreating for half a day, the damp poison man brought out 300 wagons and continued to attack the moat.

The horses were loaded with trees and sand, and as soon as they reached the river, they cut off the reins of the cart, and the men ran back to their camp on horseback, and the cart rushed into the river by inertia.

The damp poison man was going to fill the river, and the left third minister immediately personally led the team to intercept the convoy of the damp poison man.

The wet poison man reacted quickly, and the archers rushed to the Liang cavalry to shoot arrows, along with their own convoy.

Fortunately, the three sides on the left led the most elite heavy cavalry, and they were spared, but they were blocked in front of them by horizontal vehicles, and the impact of the heavy cavalry was lost.

The third prime minister on the left had to lead the troops back to the city, and the wet poison people began the next round of river reclamation operations.

Zuo Sanxiang was extremely aggrieved in his heart, and he was not afraid of the enemy's tricks or deception in the matter of fighting. I'm afraid of this kind of life-playing, no, it doesn't take human life as its life, once it encounters it, it will be a bottomless pit.

Until the seventh day, there were still three beacon forts left in the Liang army, the moat had been filled in, and the low walls no longer existed.

Liang Jun has no bottom in his heart, and the water army organized by Liu Jingchuan is like a mosquito that is not taken into the eyes of wet poison people. The Wet Poison Man even carried the arrows of the Liang Army on four small boats to attack the Beacon Castle.

Zuo Sanxiang regretted it a little, although he also attached importance to the counterattack of the wet poisoner, but he didn't expect such a tragic counterattack. Purely calculated in terms of casualties, the Liang army had already annihilated about 50,000 enemies, and the Liang army had lost less than 1,000 people.

However, the goal of the wet poison man was almost achieved, and at this siege speed, the Liang army would not be able to withstand it for even seven days. Together with the arrows shot by the wet poison people collected, there were less than 10,000 in total, and Liang Jun's knife was about to be sharpened into a long sword.

In fact, what the left three ministers didn't know was that the commander on the opposite side, Haripari, was also very aggrieved. The brainless charge was not Haripari's intention, but an order from the Wet Poison Country's military watchman, Wang Olpe.

Wang Olpe came to supervise the army on behalf of the four emperors of the Wet Poison Country, and Haripari almost took away the most elite troops of the Wet Poison Country, where is the Minister of Chinese and Martial Arts of the State willing to rest assured. So Wang Alpe brought the white-clothed janissaries to supervise the war, and in Wang Alpe's view, only a quick victory could prevent Haripari from supporting himself in the future. Moreover, the civil and military ministers of the Wet Poison Country actually did not want to expand their territory to raise so many troops for a long time, as long as this war can consume the troops and slaves of the Wet Poison Country, it will be a great benefit to the civil and military ministers and businessmen.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that Wang Olpei's style of play, which was mainly aimed at destroying his own people, made the opposite Liang army unbearable.
