Chapter Seventy-Nine: Attack Again

At dawn, Gao Huan still stood like a mountain.

The smoke in the camp is gone.

There were horses' hooves, and the generals of various departments rushed to the front of the Chinese army tent from all directions, and they fell down one after another: "King Tianwei! The thief didn't dare to make a mistake, and he had already fled in a hurry! ”

It turned out that Pei Guo deliberately abandoned the third stone fort, expecting that the Eastern Army would underestimate the enemy, so he sent Wei Biao to open the door at night to carry out this sneak attack.

Sure enough, including Gao Huan, many generals in the Eastern Army drank high and fell asleep, slacking off to the extreme. Wei marked out the Jade City, passed through the southern slope of Emei Plateau, all the way to the front of the Eastern Army camp, and saw lax defense everywhere, so he cut melons and vegetables, and went straight into the camp!

The front camp of the Eastern Army was in chaos. Wei Biao took advantage of the situation to set fires and kill people everywhere, seeing that he was about to fight to the middle camp and even the back camp, at this time, fortunately, Hu Luguang had to lead his own soldiers to fight because he was not drunk, and stopped Wei Biao for a while.

Even so, just because Hu Luguang came in a hurry, there were only a few hundred soldiers under his command, but he couldn't stop Wei Biao's three thousand tigers and wolves, and after a while, he was defeated.

At this moment, Gao Huan woke up and even set fire to it. The soldiers in the battalion were originally chaotic, but when they saw this, they were relieved and their morale was restored, so they raised their swords and spears one after another, and went to the front camp to kill.

Hu Lu Guang was overjoyed, the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and the more soldiers around him gathered.

The sky was about to dawn, and Wei Biao would not be able to please him if he continued to fight, so he shook a spear and led the troops to retreat.

。。。。。。

In front of the Chinese military tent, a group of civil and military compliments were endless, and they were proud and proud.

Suddenly, last night's battle report was presented, Gao Huan glanced at it, and his beard trembled with anger, turned around, and brushed his sleeves away.

It turned out that in the night, Wei Biao rushed forward, and in the first battle, he had to kill and wound more than 4,000 people of the Eastern Army. Not only that, but the stone forts on the southern slope of Emei Plateau were all demolished by the Western Army, and the Eastern Army could no longer rely on them to lock the Jade City.

In the evening of the same day, the military order was communicated to the battalions of the Eastern Army:

From now on, no alcohol is allowed in the camp! The western thieves are really treacherous, and all armies must be vigilant.

。。。。。。

On October 15, the Eastern Army regained its strength and attacked Yubi City again.

The western army did not come out of the Yubi City, and the Eastern Army stepped on the southern slope of Emei Plateau, not surprisingly, it still sacrificed the method of attacking the city with soil--- and the shield soldiers of the Eastern Army ran to the city wall of Yubi City, just like the previous attack on the stone fort, raising shields to cover each other; and the archers came forward, and tried to suppress the city. Then I saw that the wrestlers came with a soil bag...

But when I heard the sound of bangzi, countless feathered arrows were shot from the head of the city, which was more violent than the eastern army under the city!

Think about it, Jade City is not the small stone fortress of the past, the walls are high and wide, and there are enough guards to be stationed on it. These western troops stood on a high place, and they already had a condescending advantage, and the archers all hid behind the wall, shooting outward from the narrow part of the battlement, and it was difficult for the city to shoot him. Therefore, the western army in the city was completely fearless, and the archers of the eastern army under the city were killed--- but in a moment, the arrows had already fallen a large piece. In the screams, the rest of the people retreated.

As soon as the archers of the eastern army retreated, the defenders of the city straightened up one by one, and saw countless huge wooden stones, boiling oil and hot juice, falling down in an endless stream.

For a while, Mo said that the wrestlers in front of him were smashing a mess, even the thick shield in the hands of the shield soldiers couldn't cover it, and I don't know how many burns were burned...

Needless to say, this method of attacking the city is about to be slowed down.

。。。。。。

On October 17, Sun Teng offered a plan: "Since all the obstacles on the southern slope of Emei Plateau have been cleared, why not build soil on the slope for a mountain?" But the earth mountain is higher than the head of the jade city, and our army can be condescending, and the arrows are everywhere, and the western thieves dare not raise their heads! At that time, it is okay to go up the hill or go straight to the city. ”

Gao Huan praised kindness again and again, and ordered him to act according to the plan.

Sun Teng's plan, Li'er is right, but the Jade City is so towering, so the earth mountain will naturally be extremely high. In addition, the jade city is very wide, and one side has to be crossed, if the earth mountain is only a short section, how can it be said to suppress the western army at the head of the city? Therefore, the earth mountain should not only be high, but also long.

However, in this way, the project is inevitably too huge, and the entry into the country is naturally slow. In seven or eight days, the militia soldiers were tired and half dead, and from time to time they were killed by cold arrows, but the long earth mountain was only less than two zhang high, and it was still a little far from the high head of Yubi City.

However, it happened that the sky was not beautiful, and it rained heavily for three consecutive days, and half of the earth mountain collapsed.

Gao Huan was half dead and ordered to rush to work.

A group of civilian servants stepped on the cold mud pit, and they had to carry it on their shoulders, which was really miserable. As a result, Wei Biao looked for an opportunity to go out of the city to sneak attack, and after a little slashing, the people scattered in a hurry and escaped.

Gao Huan was so angry that he pushed out the overseers and the generals stationed in Tushan and beheaded them to set an example, and repeatedly ordered: "If there is any slack or misconduct, you will not be spared!" ”

Gao Cheng and Po Liuhan, who stayed in the north of Fenshui, went out in person, and finally captured half of the escaped people with great effort, but the number was not enough, so many new servants were captured. The boundary of Hedong is full of complaints.

It's just that when the work starts again, it has come to November, the weather suddenly turns cold, and the night is even more frozen, and even digging has become very difficult.

Pei Guo was also wilted, and at this time, he took out a large number of giant trees hidden in the treasury, and easily built several layers at the head of the jade city, as if he had raised the jade city several feet higher.

Gao Huan came to the bottom of the earth mountain, looked at it, and sighed gloomily: "The plan to build the soil for the mountain is defeated... ”

。。。。。。

Since the arrival of the 150,000 Eastern Army on the north bank of Fenshui at the end of September, Xue Xiuyi was the first to be defeated, losing seven or eight thousand men and horses; In the following month, the Eastern Army attacked Yubi City many times, all of which were unfavorable, and even taught Wei Biao to sneak attack twice, adding up before and after, and the battle losses were more than 10,000. It is the old Fenshui on both sides, at this time the eastern army has only 130,000 people left, but it is just sweeping away a few small stone forts on the southern slope of Emei Plateau, as for the high and sinister jade city, there is no way to take it...

As soon as he thought of this, everyone in the army was depressed, and Gao Huan was also depressed.

Seeing this, Hu Lujin offered another plan: "At this time, the Fen water is low, why not break the river embankment in the upper reaches and divert the Fen water to another way, so as to cut off the jade water source?" ”

Gao Huan's eyes lit up, and he was about to act accordingly, when Xue Xiuyi, who was still recuperating from his injuries, sent someone to pay tribute: "When the previous boat arrived at the north of Emei Plateau, I knew that Pei Thief had already dug a deep ditch in the north of the plateau and led Fenshui into the city. Even if the king breaks the embankment and breaks the stream, Pei thief only needs to fill in the water gate at the north end, and the jade city will have a deep river, that is, three years and two years, and the water will be safe... ”

After Gao Huan listened, he jumped to his feet.

The generals looked at each other, scratching their ears and cheeks, and no one could do anything.

Gao Cheng came up angry and shouted: "It's a big deal to besiege and not attack, I don't believe it, I can't starve to death the dog thief surnamed Pei!" ”

At this time, Gao Huan calmed down, shook his head and said, "Since Pei Thief has made up his mind to defend it, is there no reserve in the city?" We have a lot of soldiers, and the weather has turned cold, so if we continue to consume him like this, we may not be able to consume him. ”

Gao Huan guessed correctly--- Yubi City has been operated by Pei Guo for many years, and the cellars in the city are not known to be many, and the abundance of storage inside, whether it is grain and grass or baggage, it can be passed in a year or two.

Including Gao Cheng, the big guy was silent again.

At this time, Hu Luguang strode out of the ranks, hugged his fists and said: "If Pei Thief can't defend it, then he won't come out." Our army is large, so we can divide our troops to stay here to defend it, and then supplement it with all kinds of fortifications to block the south of Emei Plateau horizontally and vertically. When Pei thief built this jade city, he sought danger in every possible way, but only left a way out in the south of the mountain. Since he can't get out, the king can lead the army to take the east side of the river, or even cross the river and sweep through Guanzhong! ”

Gao Huan narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded heavily: "Mingyue has a good plan!" Pei Thief thought he was smart, but he was cocooned and bound himself, haha, he deserved it! ”
