"General, we only have less than 2,000 people left, and if the county king doesn't send reinforcements, we may really not be able to hold it."

Shizhou, Thorn History.

The atmosphere in the mansion is very delicate, in the face of 30,000 troops, Shizhou City only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and it is already doing its best to hold on for half a month.

Even if they could take advantage of the geographical advantage to stop Xia Sui and Lingwu's army outside the city, it was impossible for them to have no casualties after so many days.

At the beginning, these Shatuo soldiers were still very confident, but for so long, the county king did not send reinforcements over, even if these soldiers were loyal to Li Keyong, they would inevitably feel abandoned in their hearts.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Zhou Dewei, whose face was a little tired, looked around and looked fierce, "The county king has entrusted us with this important task, which is his trust in us, even if he fights to the death, he must stick to it." ”

The few people who were stared at by Zhou Dewei felt the cold gaze and trembled in their hearts.

"General, general, the king of the county is here!"

Just when the atmosphere was a little weird, a pro-soldier ran in excitedly and shouted.

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment when they heard the news, and then they were overjoyed.

"Really?" Zhou Dewei stood up in surprise.

"It's true, the king of the county personally led 20,000 cavalry, less than ten miles away from us."

"Twenty thousand cavalry? Ha ha! Zhou Dewei suddenly laughed and looked at the camp of the party members outside the city, "Li Sigong, you have been attacking for so many days, and you have finally replaced me!" ”

。。。。。。

The next day, outside the city of Shizhou.

Looking at the Shizhou City in front of him, Li Sigong couldn't wait to level the entire city, of course, if he could occupy the city.

But from the beginning of the war to the present, he has been blocked outside the city for half a month by the five thousand Shatuo soldiers in the city.

In Mengkeng and Jinzhou, the imperial army attacked the city and was invincible; In Zhaoyi, the Zuo Shenwei Army, the Chengde Army, and the Xuanwu Army also achieved a lot of results (Li Sigong did not know about the withdrawal of the Xuanwu Army from Luzhou for the time being).

Although the two towns of Lulong and Datong were frustrated, it was against the elite Shatuo army, but what about him?

There were only 5,000 people in the city, but they held back his army of 30,000 for half a month.

Of course, there is also a reason, whether it is his army or the Lingwu army, they are actually not good at attacking cities.

His Dingyan army was mainly cavalry, and most of them were nomads, mainly from the Dangxiang ethnic group, as well as soldiers from the Tuyuhun, Turkic, Uighur, Han and other ethnic groups.

Of his 20,000 troops, 15,000 were cavalry, and the Lingwu army was also dominated by cavalry.

So it seems that the two towns have a combined army of 30,000, but they are not good at attacking the city, but they were blocked outside Shizhou City by the army led by Zhou Dewei.

"Xia Guogong, do you have a way to take this Shizhou City? Your Majesty has sent someone to urge. ”

Next to Li Sigong, Han Li, who was the envoy of the Lingwu Festival, looked at Li Sigong on the side, with a somewhat strange expression, dissatisfaction, and the meaning of watching the excitement.

Li Sigong's face sank, and he smiled instead, "Deputy Envoy Han, don't worry, although we haven't been able to take this Shizhou City during this time, how many people does Deputy Envoy Han think are left in Shizhou City, which has been attacked by us for half a month?"

And taking advantage of this time, my warriors have also made a lot of ladders to siege the city, and I believe that they will be able to take Shizhou City today. ”

"Then wait for the good news of Xia Guogong!"

Han Li smiled, it's not that he won't send people to participate in the attack, but the main force must be the Dingyan Army.

Li Sigong's face suddenly froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Sixiao." ”

"The last general!"

A party general who was six or seven points like Li Sigong but was a little younger rode out and saluted Li Sigong.

"The rest of the siege is under your command. To give you 7,000 steps to ride, Ben Shuai has only one requirement, that is, he must take Shizhou City today. ”

"The last general obeys!"

"Warriors of the Dangxiang clan, today, we must take Shizhou City in front of us. There is an infinite amount of wealth in it, and if you take this city, the women and the wealth of the city will be yours.

For the sake of the difficult army, for the sake of the party, warriors, take out your broadsword and kill! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Woo~~Woo~~"

A thick horn sounded, and thousands of soldiers of the Determination Army began to rush to the city wall, carrying simple ladders and various weapons.

The small Shizhou City, in the face of this attack, is like a lonely boat in the big waves, which will sink at any time.

Looking at the Dingyan army outside the city, the Shatuo army on the city tower was not as worried as before, but smiled, "Attack, attack, you will regret it." ”

"General, what are we going to do? Is it not to fight back? ”

Zhou Dewei shook his head and sneered, "We must fight back, and we can't let these party members notice." But the guards at the gate told the guards to take the bolt off the door and let them in, and the king of the county had prepared a great gift for them. ”

Although the Shatuo army prepared a big gift, the battle on the city wall did not give up, but became more tenacious.

Although the Dingyan army was not good at attacking cities, they were very good at cavalry archery, and the cavalry approached the city walls and shot arrows at the city towers to cover the siege of the infantry. Not to be outdone, the Shatuo army fought back desperately.

For a while, the intensity of the battle between the two sides was even more intense than in the previous days, which made Li Sixiao frown.

However, thinking that this was the last madness before the destruction of the Shatuo City, he had some understanding.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the gates collapsed.

Li Sixiao was a little puzzled, why did he crash away so quickly? The soldiers of the Dingyan Army outside the city gate were even more puzzled, and they just bumped into it.

However, when they saw the wide open city gate, the soldiers at the city gate didn't think so much about it, and rushed in directly.

"General, the city is broken!"

At this time, Li Sixiao didn't have time to think about it, so he yelled at the cavalry around him, "Warriors, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

Li Sigong and others in the distance also felt a little puzzled, today's siege was too much... It's too smooth.

However, he didn't think about Li Keyong personally leading the army to reinforce him, but soon there was a fierce shouting of killing from the city, and then he saw people fleeing from the city in a hurry.

There was cavalry, there was infantry.

They all looked panicked, as if something behind them was chasing them.

At this moment, Li Sigong saw his fourth brother Li Sixiao, who also looked flustered, and there was a feather arrow behind him.

The whole earth began to tremble, and the siege army also stopped their attack and looked at the city gate, for they found that the tremor was coming from the direction of the city gate.

Just as the Dingyan army that had attacked the city withdrew in disarray, the neighing of the horses became more and more harsh.

A group of infantry from the Dingyan Army had just rushed to the drawbridge of the moat, and before they could take two more steps, they fell directly to the ground one by one, and their backs were all full of arrows without exception.

Under the gaze of the Dingyan Army and the Lingwu Army outside the city, black figures galloped out from the city gate.

Seeing those figures, Li Sigong's face turned pale, and a few words were squeezed out between his teeth with difficulty.

"Sand... Declivity... Army! ”
