Chapter 319: Surrounded on three sides
At this time, Sun Li walked to Xiao Jingcong's side, looked at the siege of the Liangxia coalition army, and asked the doubts in his heart: "Lord Xiao, do you mean that this Liangxia coalition army surrounded our cloud city but only surrounded it on three sides, and did not block it?" Could it be that they are underarmed? ”
Xiao Jingcong smiled faintly when he heard this, and asked General Sun Li: "General Sun Li, what do you think?" ”
Sun Li glanced at the Liang Xia soldiers outside the city, and said: "Back to the prince, according to the last general, the lack of troops should not be a problem, the last general heard that Dugu Yunliu urgently requisitioned 70,000 soldiers and horses from the border of Northern Liang to support in the past half a month, a total of 150,000 troops, and it should not be a problem to surround a cloud city." So he must have other intentions when he did this......"
Xiao Jingcong glanced at Sun Li and motioned for him to continue.
"The last general thinks that the main reason why Dugu Yunliu only surrounds three sides and leaves one side is that he wants to disturb the morale of our army. Let the soldiers think that there is a way to escape, then when they fight them, they will be afraid and hesitate, and it is very likely that they will escape from the battle......"
Xiao Jingcong heard Sun Li's analysis, nodded and replied, "Well, yes, General Sun Li's analysis is good, and this king thinks so too." ”
Sun Li also responded: "Well, yes, but on the other hand, the Liangxia coalition army is surrounded like this, but it also gives us a chance that it is not a chance." If we wait until the battle is scorching, we secretly send a cavalry from the south to attack their rear base camp, will we be able to let them mess up their own positions, and thus relieve the pressure from defending the city from the front? ”
"Your idea is very good, but the other party should have already taken precautions against this......" Xiao Jingcong shook his head slightly when he heard General Sun Li's suggestion, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the camp of the Liang Xia Alliance, and said with a serious face: "Look at what you said, the other party is probably on guard!" ”
When General Sun Li heard this, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiao Jingcong's finger, and sure enough, he saw rows of heavily armed iron cavalry soldiers in front of the Liangxia coalition camp, which should be the last hole card of Northern Liang.
General Sun Li, an elite soldier of this iron cavalry, has also heard of it, and it is called the Frost Iron Cavalry, which is the ace cavalry team of the Northern Liang.
Back then, even Xiao Jingcong was quite tricky when dealing with this frost iron cavalry, losing a lot of men and horses, and finally failed to completely wipe it out, and it was precisely by relying on this cavalry that Liang Guo could survive.
Therefore, Xiao Jingcong was naturally very jealous of this cavalry, and noticed it at a glance, he took a deep breath, and continued to say to Sun Li and the generals: "This king observes, the Liangxia coalition army besieges the city and arranges the formation, and 30,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry are arranged on each side, and under Dugu Yunliu, he also personally commands 30,000 elite soldiers, including the frost iron cavalry force, our defenders are not many, if we send men and horses to attack, I am afraid that we have not yet rushed to the rear of the beam, was strangled by his highly mobile and terrifying Frost Iron Horse, and in the end he could only be sent to death in vain! ”
"This ......" Sun Li heard Xiao Jingcong's analysis, and immediately fell silent, and then said with a ashamed face: "What Prince Xiao said is extremely true, it is the last general's improper consideration, and he almost harmed the lives of his brothers......"
When Xiao Jingcong heard this, he turned his head to look at him and patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "General Sun Li, how can I blame you for this?" You can put forward your own opinions, this king is very pleased, and the praise is not enough! ”
"Lord ......"
Xiao Jingcong chuckled, then looked at the people standing behind him, and asked: "There are many enemy soldiers, and we are likely to be doomed in this battle, facing the destruction of the people, are you afraid?" ”
Li Hui was the first to raise his head, facing the deep eyes of General Wushuang, seeing his smile, he replied with a frank and firm face: "Lord Wang, we are not afraid!" As the general of Da Xiao, this life has long been ready to sacrifice on the battlefield at any time, it is the great honor of the general to be able to defend his homeland, even if he dies, I have no regrets! ”
"No regrets, no regrets!" 8090
The rest of the crowd also followed suit.
Xiao Jingcong heard everyone's surging oaths, looked at their firm eyes, and nodded with satisfaction, with such a general here, he will definitely be able to set an example for the officers and soldiers of the three armies.
"Very good, you are all my generals of Da Xiao, you have to take your own responsibility, you must not lose face in front of the soldiers, you are all their examples!"
Li Hui and Sun Li each laughed when they heard this.
Immediately, Li Hui stopped smiling, pulled out the portable sword he was carrying at his waist, turned around, and walked straight to the center of the city tower, and the defenders of Cloud City cast their eyes on him.
"Soldiers!" Li Hui raised the sword in his hand and made the final pre-war mobilization on the city tower, "You are all the people of the Great Xiao, you have lived on this territory for generations, have children, and live a happy life. Now, please open your eyes and take a look, look outside, look at the city, those are the Liangxia coalition army, they are enemy troops, they are thieves, they are slaughtering our compatriots, slaughtering our brothers and sisters, how will they treat us today? ”
Li Hui paused slightly, his eyes wandered on the faces of those soldiers, and he saw that everyone's faces were tense, and all of them were gritting their teeth on those resolute faces. Neither of them spoke, and the entire tower was silent, so quiet that only the sound of each other's heartbeats could be heard.
Li Hui's eyes swept over the soldiers, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Jingcong.
Xiao Jingcong walked over, stepped forward, stood side by side with Li Hui, pulled out the red-faced sword, raised it above his head, the sun shone on the red sword body, emitting a dazzling light: "Soldiers, behind us is our homeland, there are our wives and children, and our everything, we must not let the enemy's iron hooves crush our homeland, pick up the weapons in your hands, and fight to the death with this king!" ”
Xiao Jingcong shouted, and countless defenders of Cloud City also raised their weapons one after another, looking up to the sky and shouting.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
The sound of a trumpet-like sound resounded throughout the sky, spreading along the city tower, as if these shouts could be heard in front of the Liangxia coalition army outside the city.
The lonely cloud on horseback heard this voice from a distance, frowned slightly, turned around and asked his subordinates, "What voice is coming from over there in Cloud City?" ”
A general clenched his fists and replied, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Qiqi, it seems to be ...... It seems to be the pre-war mobilization of the Xiao army, what do you say to fight to the death......"
"Fight to the death?! Fight to the death?! Hahahaha, good! A good fight to the end, ignorant and arrogant, today is going to fulfill them, this prince wants to let those Xiao soldiers all die in Cloud City, and be buried with Cloud City! Dugu Yunliu gritted his teeth, made up his mind, waved his hand, and ordered: "The whole army listens to my orders, take the city gate before noon, and attack!" ”
"Attack!"
The military horn sounded, and with Dugu Yunliu's order, the battle of Yuncheng finally kicked off.
Different from the last siege, this time Dugu Yunliu almost invested twice as many troops as last time, surrounded on three sides, and launched an attack on Yuncheng in the east, west, and north directions almost at the same time......
