Outside the city of Gaochang, in the sweat tent of Suleiman of the Black Khan Dynasty, all the generals knelt on the ground and prayed to Suleiman not to attack the city.

Under the bitter pleading of the generals, Suleiman returned to the position of Dao Khan, and the anger in his heart was much less, and after calming down, Suleiman said to the generals: "Get up! Ben Khan tells you that Ben Khan is not blinded by anger, and that this is the right time for our army to attack;

It is true that our army is already at the end of the strong crossbow at this time, but the Xia army in the city is also the end of the strong crossbow, thousands of miles away from Gaochang on the Western Xia Road, to be able to arrive in such a short time, they are already in a hurry, and it is not bad that they are not tired to death;

Moreover, our army is attacking immediately, and the commander in the city must not have imagined that as the so-called 'surprise and unpreparedness', Ben Khan will attack the city before the enemy army has set up a city defense, only in this way can our Black Khan army take Gaochang at the minimum cost. ”

The generals' eyes lit up, Suleiman is worthy of being a rare hero between heaven and earth, and his grasp of the fighter plane is very accurate, now is indeed the weakest time for the defense of Gaochang City, and the coalition army is already at the end of the strong crossbow at this time, if the war starts at this time, who wins and who loses!

Suleiman sat on the throne of the Khan and ordered: "The generals will listen to the order and quickly organize the army to attack Gaochang City; Harrison led 30,000 troops to attack from the left on the left flank, Ali Buha led 30,000 troops to attack from the right flank, and Ben Khan led 90,000 troops to attack from the front with the main force, and the army rested for an hour and immediately attacked. ”

"Obey the orders of the Great Khan." The generals took the military order in unison.

An hour later, the army of the Black Khan, who rested and fed, began to move towards Gaochang City, and surrounded the west, north and south of Gaochang in the shortest possible time, leaving the east alone to the defenders in the city.

"General, general, no, the army of the Black Khan has begun to attack." Qin Hu hurriedly ran in and said.

Li Yanzong was shocked: "What did you say? The army of the Black Khan attacked. ”

Qin Hu panted and said: "Exactly, Su Leiman personally led the army to surround us from three sides, looking at this posture to fight to the death with us!" ”

Li Yanzong immediately issued a military order: "Order the army to immediately go to the city wall to prepare for battle, and Qin Hu will go to the west gate with the general." ”

On the battlefield of the West Gate, when Li Yanzong arrived, the battle had begun, the Black Khan army rushed to the city head, shouting and killing resounded in the sky, because Suleiman's attack and march were urgent, there were no large siege vehicles at all, and only some simple siege ladders could climb the tower; The coalition forces in the city were also in a hurry to meet the battle and were not well prepared, and there were not many oil pots, thunder stones, and rolling logs, and the two armies had a short battle from the beginning, and the battle situation was extremely tragic.

"Kill, you must drive the enemy army off the city." Li Yanzong roared loudly while killing the enemy, "Come on! The ladder was pushed down. ”

In just half an hour, the entire city of Gaochang was stained red with blood, the blood of the enemy and the blood of his own people, and after the first wave of attacks, all that was left under the city walls were broken corpses and gasps of soldiers.

"General, it's finally over." Qin Hu said to Li Yanzong.

Li Yanzong smiled and said: "Silly boy, this is just the beginning, just now it was a temptation of the Black Khan Army, fortunately we didn't continue to attack, otherwise we would really not be able to hold the city." ”

Qin Hu asked Li Yanzong, "General, what should we do next?" ”

"Qin Hu sent someone to send an order to the King of Hui and the Tatar Khan, and asked them to seal the west gate and the north gate to the general, and you also led people to seal the east gate." Li Yanzong said to Qin Hu with a cold face.

Qin Hu was shocked: "General, why? Isn't there no way back for us to seal the east gate? ”

Li Yanzong said with a fierce look in his eyes: "There is no way back, the war is so cruel, once the damage is too great, it is impossible to say that the King of Hui and the Tatar Khan will lead the troops to run first, without them we can't hold Gaochang City, we have no shortage of food and drink in the city, it is sure that it is one heart and one mind, only when all the back roads are blocked, everyone can fight to the death, this is called 'putting it to death and then living'." ”

"The last general understands, and the last general will do it." Qin Hu said to Li Yanzong.

Li Yanzong told Qin Hu: "After the three gates are all sealed, you take someone to check it in person, and the one you want to seal is stronger than the city wall." ”

"Yes, the last general commands." Qin Hu was ordered to leave.

After Qin Hu left, Li Yanzong ordered: "Command the army, prepare thunder stones and rolling wood, and set up oil pots to prevent the enemy army from attacking the city." ”

"Obey ......"

On the other side, Suleiman, the Chinese army of the Black Khan, was listening to the military report, although the first battle just now was a tentative attack by the Black Khan's army, but the losses were not small, and the 10,000 soldiers who attacked lost more than 3,000 people, which made Suleiman frightened.

Suleiman rode on his war horse and said, "I didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of this Xia army is really strong!" It turned out that Ben Khan lost 3,000 warriors. ”

The adjutant asked Suleiman: "Great Khan, what should we do?" ”

Suleiman asked the adjutant general: "Is there any news from Harrison and Ali Buha?" ”

Suleiman had just asked two heralds who had come from the north and the south and said, "Report, report, report...... The defenders on the northern wall were not Xia troops, nor Uighur soldiers, and it is not clear who they were, but the enemy fought extremely bravely, and our army did not attack the city wall. ”

Another herald said: "Great Khan, the southern city wall is not defended by the Xia army, and our army has not attacked the city wall like the north. ”

Suleiman smiled and said, "In this way, the city is defending the city by a coalition army, so it will be much easier to break the city." ”

The adjutant general asked Suleiman: "What does the Great Khan mean by this, and the last general is puzzled and asks the Great Khan to show it." ”

Suleiman smiled and said to the adjutant general: "The defenders in the city are not one, then there must be contradictions within them, even if there is no contradiction in the future, even if this fortress is strong, I am afraid that they will destroy it from the inside!" ”

"Great Khan Shengming ......," the adjutant said.

Suleiman then asked the two heralds: "How is the equipment of the defenders on the north and south sides?" ”

The herald reported: "Most of the equipment is leather armor and scimitars, and some even wear cloth armor, which is very rudimentary. ”

Suleiman nodded and ordered: "Move all the ladders to the north and south, let Ali Buha and Harrison attack the city with all their might, and must take the city before it is too dark, Ben Khan asks the army to lead the Xia army in the front."

"Obey ......"

"Woo, woo, woo, woo......"

The long horn sounded from within the Black Khan army, and another attack of the Black Khan army began, but this attack was different from the last one, the Black Khan army stopped far away, Li Yanzong was also puzzled when he saw the battle of the Black Khan army, but he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

The adjutant general walked up to Li Yanzong and said, "General, the enemy army is within the range of our army's bow and crossbow, and now we can hit them at this distance, they can't beat us, should we give them two rounds." ”

Li Yanzong stared at the black enemy army below and said, "Don't wait any longer, General Ben is here to see what kind of medicine is in this Suleiman gourd?" ”
