Seeing the well-groomed battle formations outside the city, and remembering that for hundreds of years, the Qiang people had never won any major battles in the hands of the Han Dynasty.

"Carry out provocations first, weaken the enemy's morale, and strengthen the prestige of our army. It is better to be able to provoke the Turks out of the city for field battles. At the sound of the order, the army began to march in the order that had already been set.

30,000 cavalry under the leadership of the general Liu Fang, with a thunderous whistling sound over the army out, the war horse fat and strong, strong and powerful, the extreme of the horse, with the sound of the drum, they are violent, fast but not chaotic, the unified standard of armor, helmets, unified weapons, with a thousand people as a team, in an instant gathered into a strong iron flow, in the city of Longxi calmly galloped through.

The so-called 'layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway', this sentence also makes sense in the war, such a rapid assembly, such a strict military appearance, showing the Sui army's strict military discipline and well-trained, which means that this army has strong combat power.

In fact, it is precisely like this, this cavalry was originally the elite cavalry of the Sui army.

The deterrent effect is very good, the faces of the soldiers of the Chengtou Ge Dao Department turned pale one by one, Mi Baoqi was also nervous, and the expression of King Boduofa standing beside Mi Baoqi became more and more solemn, he had already received the news of Tuyuhun and the Turkic army outside Jincheng County, at most in three days, the Sui army of Jincheng County would inevitably collapse. So, they only had to hold out for three days.

King Hata put away the solemnity on his face, became a holy and solemn face, and said in a way similar to chanting: "Mi Zhuqi, tell your people that the Heavenly Venerable King is watching here, as long as you hold on for three days, the army of the Heavenly Venerable will break through Jincheng County, and the 250,000 troops will go south to make peace with us, and at that time, this Longxi County will be the reward that the Heavenly Venerable will give you." ”

"Tell them that whoever kills more enemies, the brilliance of the Heavenly Venerable Dharma King will shine on whomever he is, and as long as he kills enough people, he will become a Dharma General under the Dharma Throne."

Mi Baoqi took the order with an excited face.

Soon there was a cheer from the top of the city, and the frightened faces of the city were replaced by fanaticism.

This is the wonderful use of religious belief in ancient times, which can easily drive thousands of people to work hard for a few careerists, and those who work hard still feel extremely glorious and sacred.

……

Two miles outside the city, the fish club Bale horse stands, the waist board is straight, proudly looking at the city silhouette is tall and strong, the moat is quite steep, but the circumference of the city is only three or four miles of Longxi City.

"The Turks are not used to attacking and defending cities, and the people of the Gedao Department are slightly better, but compared to my Great Sui soldiers, they are also not good at defending cities. Ben Shuai has received an urgent report from the front that Jincheng can hold on for three days at most, so we must capture Longxi City within three days. Yu Juluo's face sank like water, and he said loudly.

The generals were awe-inspiring in their hearts, knowing that the stakes were important, and they all looked solemn and solemn.

"According to the plan, leave the north and concentrate on attacking three sides."

The generals are all old people who have fought in battle, and they know why Yujura wants to open one side and circle the city three times.

The 100,000 army can indeed do the water in the small siege of Longxi, but they are in a hurry, what they want is not to force the defenders to resist to the death, the city is open, whether it is the people of the Gedao Department or the Turks, there is a glimmer of life, when they have more casualties and more brutal fighting, they will not be as resolute as at the beginning, even if the Gedao Department and the Turkic principals who defend the city know that it is a plan, the belief that the soldiers defending the city will die will be shaken.

Before coming, the order of the siege of the army and the direction of responsibility for each prefecture had been decided, at this time, needless to say, Yu Juluo raised his horsewhip and pointed to the Longxi city in front of him, and the heralds around him spread the order to start the siege to the whole army with flags and drums.

The next moment, a group of soldiers stood behind the cowhide veil, carrying ladders and trench filling carts under the cover of arrows and arrows, and the moat of Longxi City had been driven by the people of the Gedao Department to widen and dig deeper in the city in the past few days, but the water flow had been cut off by the people sent by Yujuluo to the upstream, and the stagnant water in the moat only left about a foot, and a huge penny with a sharp handle was exposed in the water.

After paying nearly 1,000 casualties, the Sui army braved the rain of arrows poured from the east, west, and south of the city, and finally spread the trench bridge slab onto the moat and set it on the opposite riverbank. Ten plank bridges were paved in each of the three siege directions, forming a wide bridge deck. Behind them, the Sui army roared and pushed the ladder to the city wall.

............The arrows at the head of the city were replaced with rockets, and the bridge deck was no longer shot at people, but the Sui army had obviously taken precautions, and most of these bridge decks were extravagant and wrapped in iron sheets, and the arrows were difficult to hurt, unless the fire baked, like the flame on the arrow, could not shoot through the bridge deck, and it was difficult to play a role.

"Kill, kill, kill!" A large group of soldiers ran across the trench with shields, ladders, repelling rifles, and antlers.

The Sui crossbowmen stood a hundred paces away, constantly making the final pressure on the city, and when the soldiers began to climb the ladder, they would be injured by mistake, and they would not be able to shoot arrows.

And there are only a few giant crossbows at the head of Longxi City, although the people of the Ge Dao Department can use them, they are not skilled, and the accuracy is too poor, although there are casualties, but they are not enough to kill the crossbowmen of the Sui army.

However, the men of the Gedao Department also counter-suppressed with bows and arrows, and although the crossbowmen of the Sui army were protected by shields, they still suffered a large number of casualties.

Considering that there were 3,000 elite Turkic cavalry in the city, Yukura specially ordered the soldiers to carry horse repelling pistols and antler arrays, and at this time, the people who crossed the moat quickly set up rejecting horse pistols and antler arrays near the city gate.

Because during the siege war, it was difficult for the Sui cavalry to get close to the city, but the Turkic cavalry in the city could send light cavalry to kill the siege soldiers at any time, so obstacles should be arranged near the city gate to prevent them from being attacked. Due to the desperate suppression and cover of the Sui army in the rear with crossbow arrows, the defenders of the Gedao Department in the city did not dare to stand up and shoot arrows at will, and the coverage of the arrows shot down was greatly affected, although the Sui army also suffered a lot of casualties, but a large number of ladders were pushed across the trench bridge.

Under the command of the officer, the soldiers of the Gedao Department in the city immediately poked out countless rams with handles up to several zhang, and before the ladder was firmly established, many of them were pushed down by the rams, and many soldiers with ants attached to it smashed to the ground, most of them were seriously injured, and they could only wait for death in despair under the city.

Part of the ladder failed to crash open, with the army desperately climbed up, under the shouting of the tiger of the rice, all kinds of rolling stones, rolling wood, hot fire and grease continued to smash or splash, the terrible screams sounded in pieces, the first wave of Sui army suffered heavy casualties, no one was able to attack the city. In the past few days, the people of the Gedao Department have also not been idle, driving the Han people in the city to make a lot of preparations to defend the city.

Yu Jura immediately ordered more than a dozen watchtowers to approach the enemy formation, this watchtower is much higher than the city wall, the main role is that the main general can stand in the distance and condescendingly can watch the movement in the city, but can also set up crossbowmen on it, purposefully shoot specific people.

These more than ten watchtowers approached, condescending, flying like locusts, specializing in shooting the officers at the head of the city and the defending soldiers who threw rolling logs, heavy stones, and manipulated boiling hot grease and boiling water. The second wave of besieging Sui troops carried the ladder and took the opportunity to rush to the city wall again.

Mi Baoqi hurriedly divided the defenders of the city into three waves, and a wave of archers fired at the Sui soldiers on the watchtower. One wave of people continued to kill the enemy with rolling wood, heavy stones, hot grease, and boiling water, and the remaining wave fired at the Sui army's arrows and crossbowmen under the city.

No matter how much more people in the Sui army are than the Gedao Division, the weapons and armor are much better, but in terms of geographical advantages, the defenders in the city have a great advantage, and the soldiers defending the city and the soldiers besieging the city are fighting bloodily around the three city walls, and the moment when the casualty rate is the highest in the siege is the time of this siege.

The Sui army's stone throwers were also transported and began to attack, dozens of huge stones roared and smashed into the city, and the debris collapsed to the head and there was a faint pain, although the defenders retreated fast enough, but there was still some damage.

The Yaksha rolled and threw down the city wall, and countless sharp nails on it pierced the besieging soldiers' heads and bled out, and when the Yaksha body was thrown down, many Sui soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and many sharp wooden stakes were firmly inserted in the moat, piercing their intestines and rotting their stomachs.

A wooden donkey cart that was attacking the city gate was pierced through the top by an iron striking wood, and then hot grease poured down from above, followed by a torch, and many soldiers were on fire, screaming and running out from under the wings of the wooden donkey cart's open blocks of rolling stones and arrows, and were killed by the arrows to the ground.

……

……

"Jiang Muchang, what's the situation outside now?" In the willow house in Longxi City, Wang Junlin asked Jiang Muchang and Su Changqing, who had just come back from inquiring about the news.

"Huo Chang, the situation is a little bad, I just heard the news that the 200,000 cavalry of the Western Turks have arrived in Jincheng County, and they will storm Jincheng County day and night, and the defenders of Jincheng City of my Great Sui can hold out for three days at most." Su Changqing hurriedly said.

Wang Junlin's expression was solemn, and he said: "In this way, the Ge Dao Department and the Turks in Longxi City only need to hold on for three days. ”

Zhou Hu said: "What the fire chief said is extremely true, and the current situation is exactly like this!" ”

"How is the siege of the city going today?" Wang Junlin asked again.

Jiang Muchang said: "Today, our army attacked the city extremely tragically, with many casualties and several times attacking the city, but the people of the Gedao Department were like drinking chicken blood, not afraid of death, only knowing how to fight hard." And the Turks have not yet struck. ”

Wang Junlin said: "It seems that it is unlikely that the Metropolitan Governor wants to break through Longxi City within three days. It's just that if Jincheng County is lost three days later, and the Turks and Tugu City's more than 200,000 troops go south and east, it will be even more impossible to break through Longxi City. ”

After listening to this, everyone also realized the severity of the current situation, and Wang Junlin did not say the problem that everyone knew well, and it was also the problem that everyone was most concerned about - if the Sui army could not break the city within three days, they would hardly have the slightest chance to escape.
