Chapter 116: Attacked by Night
Soldiers, treacherous ways. As long as you are on the battlefield, you will always face and be tricked.
This night, Li Huaitang and his three bright horsemen had a deep understanding of this ancient art of war.
The Turgish did not keep their promise and attacked only after noon the next day. But that night, regardless of the fatigue from afar, taking advantage of the paralysis of the defenders, he unexpectedly attacked Qishi City.
"Master, most of our soldiers can't discern the direction in such a dark night, and many can't see either. It's a tough battle! ”
Ah Li's servant is very embarrassed, not because of the high-sounding reason, but because of the conflict between reality and ideals. If he lets the slugger plot succeed, then his dreams and hopes will be ruthlessly shattered. I don't know where the aura came from, and I dared to sneak attack overnight.
"Where is all this nonsense? Hurry up and assemble, I missed my big thing, watch out for your dog's head! ”
In the dark, Gu Si obviously didn't notice Ah Li's face, and thought that he was going to cheat.
As soon as he finished his dinner, Gu Si ordered the gathering of elite warriors, the purpose of which was to prepare for a night attack on Qishi City.
The main force of the sneak attack will be the 3,000 generals under the command of Gu Si and the 2,000 warriors brought by Que Yi Nanru, and in order to achieve their goal, they did not even alarm the rest of the soldiers, nor did they tell Mohe Dagan.
As long as he saw an abnormal situation at the head of Qishi City, he asked his cronies to bring their own tokens and order the infantry to attack the city.
This battle plan was a stroke of genius by Que Yiru. Of course, Gu Si didn't tell Ah Lifu, and gladly accepted the misunderstanding of the generals.
While gathering the elites of the bone roll call, Ah Lifu was thinking about how to inform Li Huaitang of them. Fate is so wonderful, if you want to put it in the past, Ah Lifu can't even think that her fate is actually shared with Li Huaitang and them.
What made Ah Lifu wonder was that Gu Si did not let his thousand-man team attack from the north gate, but followed Que Yinanru's two thousand horsemen and quietly sneaked in the dark night. I walked for more than two hours before I was given the order to stop and rest. When Gu Si gave the order to attack, Ah Lifu knew that the target of the sneak attack was actually the south gate of Qishi City. Moreover, the five hundred elites brought by Que Yi Nanru were responsible for the sneak attack and opening the city gates, and the remaining more than 4,000 knights waited until the city gates were opened, and then rode into the city.
Ah Lifu sighed in his heart, and could only pray to Li Huaitang that they would be blessed with a great life. If he was in charge of the sneak attack, then he could make some movement to remind the other party, but now, he couldn't do anything about it. On the way back from the city of Qishi, he encountered the army of Que Yi Nanru, and he did not know why Sulu Khan changed his mind and sent the army under the command of Que Yi Nanru, as well as his master Gu Si, and he did not know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he also joined in the fun and attacked his own allies. This time it's hanging! Ah Lifu sighed at his fate.
Suo was the vanguard of 500 sneak attack warriors, and he was also a fierce general among the generals directly under Sulu Khan, and he fought bravely. Such a difficult task, Que Yi is as difficult as the first to point his general.
The night has become the protective color of the Turgish.
Suo led five hundred warriors slowly approaching the city walls, and although there was inevitably a noise when crossing the moat, the wind provided them with cover in time.
The walls of Qishi City are not high, and the brave Turks replaced the siege ladder with a stacked human wall, and under the command of Suo, a human wall was soon erected......
"Hurry back, hurry up!"
Ah Li's heart kept shouting, his fists clenched nervously, and he looked at the hazy city wall in the dark night.
Suddenly, a hand touched. The servant was startled, and the scimitar was almost out of his hand.
Gu Si looked at Ah Li's servant beside him strangely, when did this guy become so timid?
"Don't be nervous, remember to follow me when you rush in,"
Gu Si commanded in a low voice, "Remember, under no circumstances are you allowed to leave me for half a step to protect my safety." ”
Ah Lifu couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to answer, when the defenders' gongs and drums sirens came from the direction of the city wall, releasing Ah Lifu's tense heartstrings.
Finally found out......
The movement of climbing the wall still alarmed the patrolling defenders, who shouted indiscriminately, and some of them sounded the gongs placed on the head of the city and sounded the siren.
The sneak attackers under the city wall stacked three layers of human walls, and the warriors at the top bit the back of their knives with their teeth, used their hands and feet together, grabbed and climbed, and jumped onto the top of the city. The unprepared defenders were no match for these fearless Thirshi, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen defenders fell in a pool of blood. More and more Turgish climbed up to the top of the city, and Suo also came up, murderous and covered in blood, he had just slashed one of the defenders.
"Quick, put down the drawbridge! Follow me and open the gates!" ”
Suo shouted excitedly as he swung his knife and rushed down the stairs of the city, followed by dozens of vicious killing gods.
At the urging of their generals, the defenders from all over the city gathered and engaged in fierce battles with the Turgish, who had come up to them, trying to drive them off the city.
However, it was too late, and the drawbridge was finally put down. The Turgish, who had climbed up the city, held a firm position directly above the gates, guarding the ropes of the drawbridge.
The battle under the gates was also one-sided, with the wolf-like Turgish slaughtering the soldiers guarding the gates. Killing the defenders was not a problem for them, the trouble was the heavy pile of stones behind the city gates.
If you want to complain, you have to blame your own troops for being too strong, and you can scare the defenders so much that they even block the city gates, without the slightest idea of assault.
Li Huaitang didn't want to cower in the city, but the situation was stronger than people, and he fought with the Tuqi Shi people in the field, so he still thought about it and talked about it later. For the sake of safety, the four gates of Qishi City were blocked from the inside by his order. The defenders' execution was far beyond Li Huaitang's resemblance, so that the stones blocking the city gate were frustrated.
Outside the city gate, the Turgish cavalry had already stepped onto the drawbridge and stopped in front of the indifferent city gate, anxiously circling outside the gate, waiting for the city gate to be opened.
In a hurry, Suo heard a knock on the door outside the city gate, and he knew that the army was already waiting outside. He was already sweating and moving stones, but the occasional arrival of the defenders hindered his speed, and several of his warlike men died in the process.
In the dark night, more and more points of light appeared in the direction of the city, surging towards the south of the city. Suo knew that it was reinforcements from the defenders, and if he hadn't opened the gates before they arrived, he would have been doomed to die here.
The stones in the passage of the city gate were gradually scarce, and seeing that success was in sight, Suo, who was panting, was not a little happy, and faintly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, which came from the direction of the city.
"Go and stop me!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Suo ruthlessly ordered the twenty or so subordinates behind him. The bolt of the gate was so close that if they could buy themselves a little more time, they could open a cathartic gap for the torrent of iron hooves outside the gate.
The Turgish warriors who received the order turned around without hesitation, raised their swords to meet the cavalry of the defenders galloping wildly, and used their flesh and blood to block the high-speed galloping horses, blocking them in front of the passage of the city gate.
Suo and the dozen or so subordinates who remained behind raced against time to remove the last stones, remove the latches, and then work together to open the heavy city gates.
