At one time, Duan Gongming suspected that the other party was cheating.

But thinking of the promise made to him by the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty, Duan Gongming still chose to believe that this must be that the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty had occupied the capital of the other party.

This opportunity is really good.

They are absolutely not allowed to hesitate, they must land on the beach as quickly as possible, and then cooperate with the Tang Army to beat them down.

Next, Duan Gongming quickly gave an order.

All of them, divided into three routes, began to land on the beach.

Upstream, midstream and downstream, all three go hand in hand.

Now there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Mengshezhao, and they have no way to defend the river beach for more than ten miles.

That is the area they can't defend, and they'll land quickly from there.

As long as there is success along the way, they can stand on their feet.

The actual situation is exactly the same as Duan Gongming imagined.

Mengshe's edict soldiers, taking care of one and losing the other.

It was easy to find an opportunity by Duan Gongming's army on the lower road.

They quickly began to land downstream.

The soldiers who crossed the river first quickly assembled and put on a defensive posture to escort the soldiers who crossed the river later.

And as soon as they crossed the river with more than three thousand men, they would be in the vanguard and slaughter in the direction of the army of the Monshe.

At this time, the army of Mengshe Zhao did not dare to stay for a long time and hurriedly retreated.

The other side has an army of 30,000, and they only have 10,000.

If they stay, they will surely suffer heavy casualties, or even be wiped out.

And they, in fact, are just reinforcements from the edict.

Although the two countries are dependent on each other, the relationship between the lips and the teeth is cold.

But after all, this is not to protect their own country, and they will never fight the enemy here again.

Anyway, they've been dragging their feet for half an hour.

And Duan Gongming's army, if it wants to cross the river, it will take at least an hour.

They've dragged on long enough.

After Meng Shezhao's 10,000-strong army retreated, Duan Gongming led the three-way army and quickly approached the riverbank.

The soldiers who crossed the river first, quickly assembled, and then helped the soldiers who came later.

It's just that 30,000 people can't cross the river faster than they want.

First of all, which boats must be vacated, and it cannot be said that people cross the river, so they don't want boats.

Then, there is the problem of density and crowding.

Anyway, by the time all of them had assembled, an hour and a half had passed.

……

The Veda, with an army of twenty thousand, quickly came beyond the north gate and began his fierce attack.

Time is running out now, and time is running out for him.

He only had an hour at most.

Therefore, there is no time for what detection, what arrangement.

He is gambling now, there are not too many Tang troops in the city, and he can take the city in an hour.

Although none of the Vedas themselves believed in this very much.

But there is no way, the capital means a lot to him.

Losing the capital, his country, is basically equivalent to ruin.

Even if there is only one percent chance, he has to give 100 percent effort!

Next, the Vedas began to launch a swift attack on the northern gate.

His soldiers, there are no siege machines at all.

They are fighting a defensive battle, and they will certainly not prepare siege engines.

Although the walls were not very high, they had to temporarily find some trees or rocks to climb underneath.

Even the Vedas themselves felt that it was really impossible to attack.

But what happened to the Vedas' consternation was that the reality was completely different from what he had imagined.

The counterattack on the city wall is actually not fierce!

This, what the hell is going on?

Could it be that there are not many Tang troops in the city at all?

If not, how could the fight on the city wall be so weak?

Let this king think about it!

There is a river, and it is not so easy for the Tang army to sneak over.

At most, three thousand Tang troops have crossed the river!

These 3,000 Tang troops, if they want to deal with the 1,000 defenders in the city, there will be damage.

Deal with a thousand soldiers this morning, and there will be some damage.

In other words, now in the city, there are at most more than a thousand Tang troops!

It is entirely possible that he will take the city in an hour's time.

Thinking of this, the Vedas couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Up! It's all for Lao Tzu! Take the city quickly! ”

And the Vedic soldiers, as if they also saw hope, couldn't help but speed up the pace of the siege.

In fact, many of their families are in the city.

They themselves wanted to take the city.

The defense on the walls was not strong and resolute.

In the face of their attack, there doesn't seem to be a good way.

Wait for them to attack passively.

As a result, these soldiers became even more energetic when they stormed the city.

At this time, half of the Tang army in the city was still sleeping and resting.

The other half of the Tang Army, divided into five squads.

A squad of 1,000 men went up to the city wall for defense.

Defend for a quarter of an hour, then switch to another shift.

The rest of the people are resting.

There were 30,000 men outside, and they had only 1,000 men to defend it.

The defensive strength can still keep up, then hell.

And Li Su's intention is very obvious, that is, to let them see hope.

And then drag them here.

As long as they wait until Duan Gongming's army crosses the river, it will not be so easy for them to run when they want to, at least they have to leave something to escape.

And it is clear that the Vedas were fooled.

Well, when you meet such a sinister person, it's hard not to be fooled!

Little by little, the Vedic forces attacked the city and made very noticeable progress.

At the cost of nearly a thousand casualties, they finally had soldiers successfully climb the city walls.

Whether the soldiers can climb the city wall or not is an important sign of whether the city can be attacked.

As long as there is a first person on the wall, there will be a second, a third, the hundredth......

It's time for a white-knuckle fight.

The Tang army, which was defending in the city, seemed to be in a hurry.

Their defense has also become tenacious.

The Vedic soldiers, although constantly being climbed to the walls, were quickly killed, and it was difficult to achieve results.

Seeing that time was passing little by little, the Vedas were in a hurry.

"The first to climb the city wall and stand firm will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan!"

Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men.

With the heavy reward of the Vedas, the soldiers under his command suddenly exploded in the small universe.

Rubbing around, for a time, hundreds of people climbed the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Li Su waved his hand decisively.

Then five thousand defending soldiers, all shot.

Swish!

Swish! Swish!

The Vedic soldiers, who had just climbed the city wall, were directly cut down by a sword.

Seeing the sudden addition of these soldiers, Vedas were almost so angry that they vomited blood.

you, your seventh uncle and grandmother!

These Tang Jun are also grandsons!

Is it despicable, filthy, insidious and cunning?

I kept pretending that no one was there, and when I saw that the city was about to be broken, thousands of people immediately appeared!

Die or not, you guys!

I've been missing eight lifetimes of virtue, hey!

The Vedas finally discovered that when the Tang army first started, it was completely showing weakness to the enemy.

And the purpose is to stall for time.

Now, the Vedas did not dare to wait any longer.

Now, almost an hour has passed.

If they don't, they'll be in danger.

The Vedas raised their hands and were about to shout the order to retreat.

Bang!

With a loud bang, a section of the city wall actually collapsed!

Seeing this, the Vedas were overjoyed!

That's great! That's great!

God help me!

Even if you have four or five thousand people in the Tang Army, what then?

The walls have collapsed, and you have no danger to defend!

In half an hour, I can kill them all!

At this time, the Vedas no longer hesitated, waved his hand and said, "Kill! ”

The Vedic soldiers also came to the flames and quickly slashed through the gap into it.

However, what awaits them is a ruthless design of crossbow arrows.

They were particularly annoyed.

The opponent's crossbow arrows still seem to be point-fired.

I don't want to waste more crossbow arrows at all.

It seems that they have all divided the work.

And the gap in the city wall is not large, and the soldiers who pass through it at one time do not exceed ten soldiers.

And the soldiers in the past couldn't rush to the Tang army for a hundred years, and they were directly killed.

They also tried to fight back with bows and arrows.

But the range of the crossbow arrows of the Tang Dynasty is much farther than their bows and arrows.

At the same distance, their bows and arrows could not be shot at all.

There is no way but to take the shield and rely on human life to pile it up.

Little by little, time passed.

In total, more than a thousand people have been filled in by the Vedas, and no progress has been made.

Moreover, the gap in the city wall has been blocked by dead bodies, and they still need to clean up the dead bodies first.

At this time, the Vedas finally sensed that something was wrong.

Whether it was the initial show of weakness or the collapse of the city wall.

It seems that they are all a conspiracy to hang them!

Now, the time is approaching an hour and a half.

Duan Gongming's army will attack at any time.

Even if we can rush into the city now, I'm afraid it's too late.

In less than half an hour, can the Tang army be completely annihilated?

The Vedas estimated that they might not be able to storm the city for half an hour.

And from the beginning of the attack to now, they have filled in the lives of at least 3,000 soldiers!

And according to his observations, on the side of the Tang Army, no one was killed!

Wrong! Wrong!

Definitely there is a problem!

"Withdraw! Fall back! ”

On the orders of the Vedas, the great army quickly assembled and began to retreat!

Then, they just got started.

Bang!

Suddenly, a large part of the wall collapsed again.

This time, it was hundreds of meters long.

This time, enough for all of them to rush in.

In an instant, the Vedas immediately surged with the urge to kill.

Even his soldiers were ready to turn around and kill him.

But in the crucial matter, the Vedas resisted the temptation after all.

"Retreat! Everyone, don't fall in love! ”

Finally, the Vedas led the army and retreated unwillingly.

Behind him, Li Su sneered.

was able to resist the temptation and chose to retreat.

You've got a brain!

Otherwise, the other 5,000 soldiers would have rushed over to change their guards.

10,000 soldiers, crossbow arrows fired in unison.

Under this kind of terrain, Li Su was not afraid of his more than 20,000 people.

What's more, the army led by Duan Gongming outside can rush over at any time.

If Veda hadn't left just now, his army of 26,700 would basically not have been able to run away from a few people.

Sure enough, just a quarter of an hour after the Vedas led the army away.

Duan Gongming led the army to chase and kill quickly.

When Duan Gongming saw the collapsed city wall of more than 100 meters.

When he saw the corpses of the soldiers all over the ground, Duan Gongming couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

What shocked him even more was that in fact, there was no casualty in the Tang Army!

It's horrible!

Li Su couldn't help but say to Duan Gongming: "King, the army of the Emperor has just withdrawn for a quarter of an hour, and if you chase it now, you can still catch up!" ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Duan Gongming was overjoyed, and hurriedly led an army of 30,000 to chase after him.

Beat the water dog god horse, he is the favorite!

As for Li Su, he left a thousand soldiers to repair the city wall, a thousand soldiers to defend, and the others went directly to rest.

Now, he is running for his life, and he must be running faster than a rabbit.

Everyone used two legs to run, and Li Su felt that even if he could catch up, there would not be much success.

In that case, let Duan Gongming take someone to chase after him.

It wasn't until evening that Duan Gongming led the army back in high spirits.

This time he chased and killed, and he really caught up, but he only killed two or three thousand troops of Xuan Zhao.

The harvest is almost the same as the harvest of the Tang army defending the city.

After this battle, the Emperor lost a total of more than 6,000 soldiers, and the losses reached almost one-third.

This was also a fatal blow to the edict.

And the capital of the Imperial Decree has been taken, and he has lost the opportunity to regain it.

The edict is already considered to be a dead country.

Of course, the Vedas, who had nowhere else to go, could only take the rest of his soldiers and horses with him to the Edict of Monshe.

Now, he has won the edict.

Of course, there is also a Mengshe edict in the south, eyeing them.

The Vedas of the dead country are staring at them like a poisonous snake, ready to bite them at any moment.

Now, the two sides are in a situation of endless death.

Their next target is naturally to point the sword at Meng She's edict.

And the next journey to Mengshezhao is a flat river.

However, with the addition of more than 13,000 Vedic soldiers, the total strength of the army was more than 33,000.

And Duan Gongming and Datang together have a total of 40,000 troops.

Although they outnumbered the Monsheph, they were now on the attacking side.

And Meng Shezhao sits on the city, and can defend it with his back to the city.

Moreover, Duan Gongming also wanted to wipe out all of their more than 30,000 troops as much as possible.

Otherwise, even if they break through the city, they will be able to hide and harass them secretly.

Duan Gongming couldn't help but find Li Su, and then asked, "Lord Wang, I don't know if you have any strategy to break through the city of Mengshezhao?" ”

Li Su smiled and said, "Of course it's attacked with fire!" ”

After hearing Li Su's words, Duan Gongming said with a sad face: "However, in the country of Mengshezhao, there is no river flowing through their capital!" ”

Li Su suddenly asked speechlessly: "Who told you that there must be river water to set a fire?" Can't you set fire to it without a river? What kind of logic are you? ”

was asked by Li Su, and Duan Gongming himself felt very strange.

Yes, can't you set fire to a river without it?

Whether there is a river or not and the release of water, it should have nothing to do with it, okay?

Of course, this was all led astray by the king of Shu setting fire through the river.

However, if a capital city as large as Mengshe's edict did not have a river that ran through the entire city, it was really not easy to set it on fire!

Duan Gongming couldn't help asking, "Lord Wang, how should I put this fire?" ”

Li Su couldn't help but smile and said, "The stars are lit!" ”

Lights up in the stars?

Is this a god thing?

Duan Gongming couldn't understand the prince's words at all, but since the prince said that he could set fire, he must be able to, right?

Soon, Duan Gongming and Li Su led the army and marched towards Mengshezhao.

After a short time, they mutined into the city and surrounded the Mengshe edict.

In fact, their combined army was only 40,000 people.

And the total strength of the Vedas plus the Vedas amounted to more than 30,000.

Such a comparison of the number of people, if you want to attack the city, it is not enough to see at all.

Seeing Duan Gongming's army, the Vedas were extremely red when the enemies met.

It was he, in collusion with the Tang Army, who occupied his capital and destroyed his country!

So, the Vedas asked for their orders to go out of the city to attack Duan Gongming.

Then he was tactfully dissuaded by the king of Mengshe's edict.

Now they occupy an absolute geographical advantage, as long as they strictly defend it, they can make the coalition of Duan Gongming and the Tang army in a situation where they cannot advance or retreat.

In that case, then why do they have to fight to the death?

When they can't take the city for a long time, the coalition forces will inevitably retreat.

When is the time for them to strike!

Now, Meng Shezhao has made up his mind to play defensive counterattack tactics.

……

After surrounding the Mengshe Edict, Li Yu began to order his soldiers to start making Kong Ming lanterns.

Of course, these Kong Ming lanterns, and ordinary Kong Ming lanterns, must be different.

What Duan Gongming didn't know was that there was actually a scientific research group in the Tang Army.

This scientific research team, hidden among the guards, is only responsible for Li Su, the king of Shu.

At this time, Li Su ordered them to calculate some data.

They need to calculate the length of the candle placed in the Kong Ming lantern under the condition of fixed wind speed, and the position where the Kong Ming lantern can drift.

What Li Su envisioned was naturally to use Kong Ming lanterns to set fires.

Therefore, Kong Ming lanterns must be special.

The candle inside will be very short, and after burning for a while, it will burn to the paper next to it, and tung oil will be placed inside the Kong Ming lantern.

In this way, after the Kong Ming lantern floats for a while, it will burn itself.

If you add tung oil, it's a fireball.

But if you want to achieve the purpose of arson, Kong Ming lanterns can't float too high.

If it is too high, it will burn in the air, and it will not play the role of arson at all.

There are extremely complex calculations involved.

Fortunately, this scientific research group is a talent in applied mathematics.

I usually build digital models, and I have been exposed to this aspect of things.

For several days on end, they were calculating the data.

Five days later, they gave Li Su a set of data.

After getting the data, Li Su did some experiments and found that this data was reliable.

Next, you need to be patient and wait for the wind speed.

Because under different wind speeds, the effect is not the same.

The wind speed provided by Li Su to this scientific research team is the wind speed that occurs most often on local windy days.

This set of data is only useful when it waits for this kind of weather.

And Duan Gongming didn't understand what the Tang Shu King was waiting for, and he was very anxious.

What kind of fire is this? It's been so long, aren't you ready?

How many days will we have to wait?

The food consumed every day is terrifying!

Not to mention them, even in the city, the people of Mengshezhao and the army led by the Vedas were extremely puzzled.

Originally, surrounded by coalition forces, they were terrified in their hearts.

After all, there have been two countries in a row that have been wiped out by them.

This proves that the combined forces of Duan Gongming and the Tang Army are very strong in combat.

Next, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle.

But what they didn't expect was that the other party was just besieging but not attacking, and for nearly ten days in a row, they didn't have the slightest intention of attacking them.

Are they going to besiege them to death?

But how is this possible?

The food in their city will last at least a year.

And the coalition forces, can they besiege them for a year?

Besides, you have an army of 40,000 men, and we have more than 30,000 troops in the city.

If we want to break through, as long as we go in one direction, we can break through at any time.

For a while, it was difficult for them to figure out what Tang Jun was trying to do.

At this time, Duan Gongming couldn't help it, and couldn't help but come to the military tent of the Tang army to ask to see Li Su, the king of Shu.

Hearing Duan Gongming coming, Li Su certainly knew his intention.

Li Su smiled slightly, and then ordered someone to invite someone in.

After entering the Shuai Mansion, Duan Gongming couldn't help asking, "Lord Wang, I don't know when I can set the fire?" ”

Li Yu laughed and said, "Is the king in a hurry?" ”

"Originally, I wanted to send someone to invite the king, but I didn't expect the king to come uninvited!"

"The king has decided to burn the city of Montsher this evening! I hope that when the king returns, he will be ready! ”

"Good! , this king will go back and prepare! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Duan Gongming was naturally overjoyed.

After ten days of waiting, I finally waited for the exact news.

In the past ten days, Duan Gongming has actually not been idle.

I've been making all kinds of deployments.

One is the deployment of the other party if it goes out of the city, and the second is naturally the deployment of the siege.

Duan Gong is ready tomorrow morning!

When he went back this time, Duan Gongming quickly made all kinds of arrangements.

……

In the evening of the same day, three watches were ten points.

Duan Gongming led the soldiers and quickly made various deployments.

And Li Su, who also led an army of 10,000 people, quietly lit the Kong Ming lantern outside the city wall.

Soon, one by one, Kong Ming lanterns rose into the air.

I don't know if these Kong Ming lanterns are very rough or heavy inside.

In short, the speed of the lift-off is very slow, and the altitude is low.

And under the blowing of the strong wind, these Kong Ming lanterns began to float over the city of Mengshezhao.

There are 10,000 Tang troops outside, and there are more than 10,000 Kong Ming lanterns that take off at one time.

And later, it is still being ignited one after another.

One by one, the Kong Ming lanterns, dotted with stars, occupied almost the entire sky above Mengshe City.

At this time, the defending soldiers of Meng Shezhao were all in a daze when they saw this strange scene.

I don't know if I want to report it or not.

Because they really don't know what the intention of the Tang Army is to release Kong Ming's lantern.

Is this Kong Ming lantern hairy useless, are they just deliberately putting Kong Ming lanterns for the sake of good looks?

Are they so boring?

However, at this moment, a mutation protruded!
