"If you have the ability, come to attack the city, if I, Sima Yi, say a word of fear, I am not Sima Yi."

Sima Yi has been fighting for half his life, and he has never been afraid of anything.

If he was just besieged by the Tang army and his fierce generals were defeated, he would have abandoned the city and surrendered, then he Sima Yi would not have been able to get to this point today.

A person like him would not do such a thing as surrender.

Sima Yi shouted on the city tower, and when Tang Yu saw this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Siege."

Now, the morale of the Tang army is at its peak, and if you want to attack the city, you have to go all at once.

As soon as Li Yu gave an order, the Tang army immediately rushed towards Tanzhou City frantically.

The Tang army's mechanical crossbow covered the Tang army, and the soldiers who besieged the city rushed to the city tower with the siege machinery, and at the same time, the trebuchet of the Tang State was also frantically throwing and killing.

In a moment, the battle broke out in Tanzhou City.

Although the morale of the Wei soldiers and horses on the city tower has been affected, it is not big, and Sima Yi is very good at controlling the morale of the generals.

Therefore, when the Tang army attacked, the soldiers and horses of Wei immediately began to counterattack.

At each gate, there were about 10,000 soldiers and horses.

On the Tang army's side, there are almost 30,000, and the Tang army is three times larger than the enemy, so it stands to reason that it is not easy to capture a city, but in this situation, as long as the Tang army is brave in attacking, it is not without a chance.

The two sides are killing back and forth, and sharp arrows are flying all over the sky.

The screams continued, and the smell of blood began to permeate.

One after another, the soldiers were killed, and the city of Tanzhou was like a hell on earth.

They began to attack the city at noon and continued until dusk, but they were unable to do so.

Li Yu looked at the city of Tanzhou in the Wei State, his eyes condensed slightly.

He didn't expect Tanzhou City to be so strong, and I have to say that he really underestimated Sima Yi before.

Originally, they thought that if they defeated the soldiers and horses of the Wei State, it would be easier for them to attack the city, but now it seems that even if they defeat Zhao Zilong, it will not have much impact on the siege.

The Tang army was still killing, retreating one after another.

At dusk, the Tang army still failed to capture Tanzhou City.

"Shengshang, if you attack again, I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate, or Mingjin will withdraw your troops."

After seeing this situation, Xu Maogong stood up and said, Li Yu looked at Tanzhou City, which had not been attacked for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, let me continue to attack the city, but send troops to take a hot air balloon and burn Tanzhou City for me." ”

If Tanzhou City or Sima Yi's military camp were on fire, he didn't believe that Sima Yi was still in the mood to defend the city here.

Moreover, Sima Yi only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, although he occupies the advantage of defending the city, but at this time his soldiers and horses have already gone into battle, but there are still 10,000 soldiers and horses in his Tang Kingdom.

As long as they keep attacking the city in this way, sooner or later they will be able to drag the soldiers and horses of Wei to death.

After hearing Li Yu's arrangement, Xu Maogong hesitated, but then responded.

As night falls, the autumn nights are relatively brighter.

Torches have been lit all around, and in front of Tanzhou City, it is as bright as day.

The Tang army was still attacking the city, and the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger.

And at this time, in the night sky, a few bright lights suddenly appeared.

Sima Yi's eyes were fixed, he didn't expect that the sky was already dark, and the Tang army still refused to retreat, and attacked the city a little, if this was the case, his soldiers and horses would have to be exhausted.

And just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a light in the sky.

After seeing the bright light, Sima Yi's eyes condensed slightly, and he suddenly felt bad.

He has also heard of the hot air balloon in the Tang Kingdom, and now that the Tang Army has used the hot air balloon, he is afraid that there are other purposes, right?

Just as Sima Yi was thinking like this, one rocket after another suddenly launched from the air.

Sharp arrows flew, and soon, the entire Tanzhou City, several places were on fire.

"Xiangye, the big thing is not good, the government is on fire."

"Xiangye, the big thing is not good, the barracks are on fire......"

The fire spread throughout Tanzhou City, and soon it was a blaze.

Sima Yi's eyes were staring, his heart was very indignant, he already knew Tang Jun's intentions, and Tang Jun was preparing to use fire to distract them.

If they go to fight the fire, there will be fewer soldiers defending the city, and this force will naturally be weak.

But if you don't put out the fire, I'm afraid that this Tanzhou city will no longer exist, even if the people come out to fight the fire, what about the grain and grass in these places in the military camp?

The fire was still burning, and Sima Yi's eyes were solemn, looking at the Tang army under the city, and he didn't seem to be shaken in the slightest.

"Xiangye, what should I do?"

Seeing that Sima Yi didn't mean to put out the fire, all the generals were a little anxious, the people's houses were burned, they didn't care, but the military camp was burned, it didn't matter.

"Xiangye ......"

Everyone looked at Sima Yi, Sima Yi stood on the city tower, let the autumn wind blow at night, and after a while, said: "Go to the barracks, pack up the grain and grass and take it away, and after holding on for another hour, retire." ”

"Retirement?"

Hearing that Sima Yi was going to retreat, everyone was shocked and puzzled, they only fought with the Tang army for a long time, and then they were about to retreat, isn't this a bit too much?

If this reached the capital, how would they explain it to the Son of Heaven?

Moreover, they have withdrawn from the army, what about the people here, they are still facing the erosion of the fire.

"That's right, back down."

Sima Yi was very resolute, from the moment the Tang army set fire to the city and the Tang army attacked the city day and night, he knew that this Tanzhou city would not be able to hold it.

Don't look at the daytime, his soldiers and horses are okay, but now, his soldiers and horses have not rested much, after one night, tomorrow's Tanzhou City will definitely be broken, and if they retreat when Tanzhou City is broken, then they may never be able to retreat.

Therefore, the city must be abandoned tonight.

And the reason why you still have to insist on one more envoy is that he wants to see this fire burn bigger.

Didn't the Tang army want to set fire, then he would leave a mess for the Tang army.

burned the people's houses, displaced the people, had no place to live, no food to eat, and even burned people to death, so how did the Tang army subdue the hearts of the people in Tanzhou City?

The instability of the people of Tanzhou City is a very dangerous thing and a great hidden danger for the Tang State.

Even if he doesn't have Tanzhou City, he will never make the Tang Army feel better, and even, after the Tang Army leaves Tanzhou City, he can send people to confuse the people and make small moves behind the Tang Army.

He will wait for the fire to rage and the people to be displaced.

Sima Yi's words were instructed, and soon some soldiers did what he said, and at this time, Tanzhou City, the fire burned the city, and the entire night sky seemed to be burned red.
