Chapter 709: Plans Can't Keep Up with Changes
Tens of meters of ladders are erected on the city wall, and every time you want to push the ladder away, it costs a human life.
Chai Shao was speechless in distress, if he knew that it was so difficult to push the ladder, then he would have prepared a long bamboo pole early in the morning.
Lu Dongzan was also so angry that he couldn't speak, the trebuchet couldn't be thrown to such a high place at all, and the city gate was even more bastard, the city gate was only half an arm thick, but the city gate actually had six spare doors, and as soon as the six gates were closed, the gap between the seven city gates could not even insert a piece of paper, and the city gate was no different from the city wall.
Now the only way is to climb the walls and attack the city from the walls. So the sound of fighting continued, and the fierce sound made the whole grassland tremble.
The war of hundreds of thousands of people was too big to describe in words, and the blood rendered the land a picture of hell.
"Add some material to them, the crossbow team will transfer me to the city wall, and Lao Tzu will give them death."
Chai Shao saw that the allies were not afraid of death, and he also became angry and yelled at the deputy general.
Five thousand crossbow archers shot on their backs, and in the blink of an eye more than 10,000 arrows fell from the sky, and the crossbowmen did not stop, and in a quarter of an hour countless crossbow arrows rained down from the sky like black clouds.
Outside the city, the corpses were strewn with arrows, and many people put their shields on their heads, and three or two people huddled together to wait for the terrible rain to pass.
Lu Dongzan's face turned pale and said to Ke Liman beside him, "This is the terrible thing about the Tang Army, hundreds of thousands of arrows poured down in a quarter of an hour, and such a terrible power can only be done by the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Yes! It's like rain, no, it's much denser than raindrops. Minister, they are so terrible, can we really take the city? ”
"How is that possible? Chai Shao has already prepared, the walls are high and the city is deep, and there are many generals, if there is no accident, it is that the 250,000 troops are all dead and cannot be defeated. ”
Lu Dongzan shook his head and said, this is not that he is raising the prestige of others, but telling the truth.
"Then why are we still attacking the city, almost 20,000 people died in this afternoon, how can we go on like this?"
Ke Liman shouted in surprise, he thought that Lu Dongzan had some plan to break the city, then he knew that he was piling up the city wall with human lives!
"Aren't they going to fight? The phase change brought them to fight, and now they were happy. ”
Lu Dongzan said disdainfully, Keliman is ugly, is this the pattern of the grand appearance? That's it?
Lu Dongzan looked at the steady stream of people falling down the ladder, and said with some pain, "There is not enough food and grass!" There is no way for the allies to retreat, and we in Tibet can't afford the food and grass of the 200,000 army, so we can only make this decision! ”
Ke Liman looked at Lu Dongzan in horror, how many holes does this person's heart have? On the surface, it is to satisfy the unreasonable demands of the allies, but in fact, it is to use the hands of the enemy to eliminate the superfluous people, and it can also deepen the direct hatred between the allies and the enemy countries, and finally end up with a good reputation.
As the two spoke, a rain of arrows fell on the battlefield, and the ground outside the city was covered with arrows, and where there were no arrows, soldiers shivering against the cover.
After a long time, the sky was full of stars, Lu Dongzan squinted his eyes and said, "Pass the order, let our 40,000 troops also enter the battlefield, this may be the only chance." ”
He wants to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Tang army to use these 40,000 elite troops to quickly attack the city, if it succeeds, it will occupy a dangerous place to look at Chang'an, and if it is defeated, he will retreat and besiege it, he always has to gamble.
So he ignored the opposition of his allies and kept these 40,000 people aside and did not use them, just to wait for this time.
The 40,000-strong army charged like a flood, and their purpose was to take the place of their tired comrades, and quickly climb the city wall on a ladder to achieve the purpose of capturing the wall.
It's a pity that as soon as the 40,000 army moved, Chai Shao put down his binoculars and smiled.
"Team Rocket prepares, no matter how many people die during the day, Lu Dongzan won't be heartbroken, but if these tens of thousands of elite soldiers die, I don't think he can still laugh?"
A strong bow is different from a crossbow arrow, even if a sharpshooter shoots a dozen arrows in one breath, without half a day's rest, the arm will definitely not use strength.
Lu Dongzan looked at the sudden fire on the city wall, and had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly shouted, "It's not good, retreat quickly, Mingjin retreats, hurry, hurry!" Chai Shao, he has tricks. ”
The charging soldiers found that the sound of the horn had stopped, replaced by the sound of Mingjin.
What's going on? Before you rushed to the city, you shouted for us to retreat? It's been a day, and it's finally time to play, and you want us to retreat?
I don't understand it, but the military order is like a mountain and the army retreats, and the army outside the city retreats in an uproar, and suddenly they find that the sky is bright, and when they look up, they find that the sky is full of meteors crossing, and the beauty is suffocating.
"Damn, this is Tang Jun's fire oil arrow!"
"Hide, don't go near the wooden shelves."
Someone shouted loudly, and before he could hide, the fire oil arrow was stuck in his stomach, and the fire oil spread on it, and before the soldier could tear off his armor, he was burned into a fireball.
"Help~"
"Run! It's an oil arrow, an oil arrow..."
The Allies are going crazy, and if they shoot rockets, it's just that. But the people on the city wall actually loaded the fire dragon cart used to extinguish the fire with fire oil and sprayed it outside the city, which is the rhythm of killing everything!
"Destroy humanity, destroy humanity! As soon as Chai Shao burned like this, our losses increased by at least thirty percent! ”
Lu Dong's words of praise were not clear, there were wails everywhere, and the smell of fire oil was all over his nose, and the generals of the allied forces were already frightened, and retreated with the remnants as if they were not dying, and as for those wounded and remnants, they were directly abandoned.
"Let's go, let's quit now!" Lu Dongzan was like an old loser, his tone was full of loneliness, he glanced back at the sea of fire behind him, and fled wildly.
"Soldiers! Will it beat the water dogs? Chai Shao laughed wildly, it was the first time he had won such a hearty battle to defend the city.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The soldiers shouted frantically, Chai Shao put away his smiling face and said solemnly, "Okay!" All departments ordered 80,000 elite soldiers and went out of the city to hunt with the governor! ”
"Chief, do you need more soldiers? Beware of the enemy's deception! ”
A general said sincerely, Chai Shao directly smiled and scolded, "Your department has been guarding the city for a day today, and the credit is already big enough, you have to give others some opportunities!" ”
The general smiled, who would think that there were too many military achievements? Chai Shao went out with 80,000 men in pursuit, he was not afraid that this was the enemy's strategy, and the biggest problem with the army of this alliance was that it was not easy to coordinate.
It takes time for the two armies to converge, not to mention that there are dozens of armies here, if he Lu Dongzan can control it, then it is only a matter of time before he dominates the grassland.
The pursuit lasted from night to dawn, and the battle line stretched for more than 100 miles.
It was not until noon that Chai Shao ordered to stop the pursuit of the squad and return to the city.
Lu Dongzan, who had fled all night, had been bleeding from his heart, and after the remnants of the remnants converged, the Allied casualties were nearly 100,000, and the battle of one day and one night was reduced by one-third, of which they accounted for more than 20,000 in Tibet.
None of this was the most painful for him, and it would be beneficial for him to take control of the Allies in the future.
But what he couldn't stand the most was that the 50,000 army guarding the grain and grass and equipment had a head-on encounter with Chai Shao's army, and the casualties were not particularly serious, but most of the grain and grass were burned, which was like a bolt from the blue for everyone.
