Besides, Jia Ke is recuperating in the city and preparing for a decisive battle in Japan. The next morning, as soon as he had finished freshening up, he heard the sound of horns in the Tatar camp outside the city.

Jia Ke went up to the head of the Kaiping Acropolis and watched the Tatar camp. I saw that today was different from the past, and the Tatars almost poured out of their nests and set up a position under the Kaiping Acropolis. The ladder for the siege has been prepared, just waiting for the order to start the siege.

Jia Ke knew that the critical time had come, and immediately ordered to prepare to defend the city. All the soldiers of Kaipingwei went up to the head of the city, and all the young and strong people in Kaipingwei. All under the city walls, ready to go to battle at any time.

Arslen Khan came to the front of the battle with the leaders of all the tribes in person, controlled the Kaiping Wei in front of him, and smiled confidently, he has 60,000 horses, can't he still attack, only a few thousand soldiers of Kaiping Wei.

Seeing that the hour was not early, Arslen Khan gave an order: "All the troops will attack the city in turn, and do not leave a respite for the city." ”

So the Tatar tribes still took turns attacking the city. Due to time constraints, the Tatars did not make too complex siege equipment, but only made ladders in large quantities.

Two rows of soldiers carried a straight bamboo ladder to form a phalanx, and countless such phalanxes charged against the city wall. They rushed to the bottom of the city, set up a ladder and began to climb, and Jia Ke ordered people to immediately use the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone and throw it downward, killing and injuring a large number of enemies. At the same time, the prepared golden juice was poured out like a Tatar climbing a ladder.

Maybe you know what the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone is, these things are stones and stakes to put it bluntly. Throw it down from the top of the city and smash the enemy.

And there is such a thing as gold juice, which you may rarely hear of. To put it in layman's terms, gold juice is human feces, which can be boiled with water and may also add some other poisonous substances. Once this thing is poured on a person, it immediately makes the skin and flesh bloom. And once you are injured by this kind of thing, it is almost equivalent to death in ancient times. Therefore, the golden juice is the most lethal weapon of the defending troops, and it is also hated by the besieging side.

Jia Ke had prepared a large amount of feces several months ago. The pile was almost as high as a mountain, and we didn't know what it was for. The mountain of dung, which is as high as this mountain and emits a foul smell, is almost unbearable. asked Jia Ke to clean him out of Kaipingwei, but Jia Ke tried his best to keep it, and now everyone knows its usefulness.

As the gold juice continued to fall, the Tatars were burned countless times. Many people wept and wailed under the city, and although the Tatars kept coming to the rescue, their injuries were getting worse and worse.

An hour later, the group of Tatars retreated, and the Kaiping guards in the city did not have time to rejoice. Then another group of Tatars came up.

Seeing this situation, Jia Ke couldn't help but cast a shadow in his heart.

In siege warfare, although the defender occupies a favorable position, every time it attacks, the besieging side has to pay several times or even more than ten times the price.

But once the city is surrounded by the besieging party, it means that the Gongcheng side has taken the absolute initiative.

As long as the food and grass of the besieging side can be guaranteed. Over time, the besieging side's advantage will slowly expand, and the disadvantage will slowly decrease. When this transformation reaches a certain level, it will not be far from the city.

Jia Ke's only ability now is to slow down this transition as much as possible, hoping that this transition will become longer and longer. At that time, as long as Xuanfu Town comes to help, and the Tatars are trapped and lack of horses because of the siegers, as long as they should cooperate with the outside world, they will be able to break through in one fell swoop.

What really worries Jia Ke is not the Tatars outside the city, Jia Ke is not a self-sacrificing hero, and when necessary, he can abandon everything. Including everyone in Kaiping Guard. When the time came, he stepped off the fire dragon horse and held the halberd in his hand. It's still possible to fight your way out.

He is now worried about Wang Tao, the festival envoy of Xuanfu Town, when they first met, he still felt that Wang Tao was quite powerful, but later this Wang Tao continued to accept his bribes and be his umbrella. This shows that Wang Tao's mind is no longer on fighting, and he is all on the struggle for power and profit.

In case this Wang Tao is greedy for life and afraid of death, and refuses to come to help, then when Kaiping Weishan is exhausted, he can only break out of the battle alone, as for the people in the city, he can only give up, and the best result can only be to destroy the Tatars himself in the future and avenge them, but what is the use?

Jia Ke thought about it, but he could only delay as much as he could, the time when the city was breached was already waiting to change, as long as he held on long enough. There will be more and more variables. If it could even be delayed until winter, then the Tatars would inevitably retreat.

Fortunately, in Kaipingwei, there is enough grain and grass and enough water. Defenses, all kinds of arrows, and rolling wood thunder stones are stored in abundance. As long as there is enough manpower, it should not be a problem to hold on for a few months.

The Tatars retreated in a wave, and came up again. One wave came up, and another wave was repulsed. So the day has finally passed.

The Tatars were already very tired and unable to fight any longer, and although they were not reconciled, they could only withdraw their troops.

When the Tatars really retreated, all the soldiers on the city walls collapsed on the ground, and the Tatars under the city could take turns attacking the city, and the others could rest. And the Kaiping guards in the city, because the number was too small, could only hold on, and they didn't even have time to eat lunch.

And Jia Ke is also tired, he is the most tired in the city, where there is danger, he will be there to support, and he keeps running on all sides of the city. If it weren't for a small rejuvenation technique, it would be able to restore physical strength. He would have fallen long ago.

Jia Ke didn't go back to Qianhu Mansion and went to the city and held a meeting with the officers. At the same time, Wu Li was entrusted with counting the number of casualties today.

Jia Ke did not ask for anyone's opinion at the meeting, but directly gave an order, first ordering Feng Mo to recruit all men in the city who were over fourteen years old and under fifty years old, and all men to assist in defending the city. The manpower that cannot be sent for the time being is trained by Huang Baifeng, after all, it is not fast to sharpen the gun. A little training is also better than nothing at all.

The second order was to order Chen Xi to collect all the food in the city, regardless of whether he was rich or poor, including all the grain in his Qianhu Mansion to be centrally managed. Then unify the configuration. In this way, the grain can last for a longer period of time.

The third order was for Zheng Kai, Jia Ke ordered Zheng Kai to take 100 local households and patrol the streets day and night in two groups. Watch out for Tatar spies.

As soon as Jia Ke gave the order, Wu Li came back, and Jia Ke and Wu Li glanced at them and said, "How are today's casualties?" There are no more than two hundred people. ”

Wu Li said successfully: "Your guess is still accurate, a total of 195 casualties were killed and injured today. Of these, 52 were killed in battle, and 41 others were seriously wounded and could not recover their combat effectiveness in the short term. The rest, as long as it is after a few days of recuperation. Barely able to fight again. ”

Jia Ke nodded expressionlessly, and then said to him: "I have gathered the whole process of the strong, everyone must all participate in the defense of the city, I think it is better to let a soldier take an ordinary young man." This allows the remaining soldiers to rest in batches. Not to be dragged down by the Tatars. ”

Wu Li said: "This method is not bad, in the defense of the city, there is no need for so many elites." As long as you can throw things and kill people. ”

"Then I will arrange this matter, although it will increase a certain number of casualties, but at this time, I can't take care of it." Jia Ke said helplessly.

After listening to what he said, Wu Li nodded and said: "This matter is discussed and decided by the two of us, what will happen in the future, we will carry it together, and the biggest task now is to defend the city." As long as the city is still there, none of this is a big deal. ”

After arranging everything, Jia Ke slept on the city, and he had already decided that he would not leave the city walls for a day as long as the Tatars were still attacking the city. He won't leave alone unless he has to.
