Chapter 570: Offensive and Defensive Battles
"Haha! Very good, very good! Look at what kind of thief he still has the ability to be powerful and blessed in my Xia country! Li Zunwei, the king of Qi, got up from the table excitedly and said with a little wine. This time, he proposed to promote peace by force, and the generals in the court also echoed it with many words. After all, if you don't fight, you will let Khorasan slaughter, that is too skinless and shameless. In order to win people's hearts, Li Zunwei followed everyone's wishes.
Although this is a bit sharp, Li An'an is already very defensive against him at this time. If you are a turtle with a shrunken head, it will not make Li An'an feel much at ease. So in some things, it's time to be in the limelight or to be in the limelight.
"And when is the day of the siege?" , Wo Ke Yeli humbly asked King Qi's idea. Although the other party drank some wine, he believed that King Qi's mind was still clear.
"Wait two more days! Khorasan closed the city and sprinkled nails outside, which is really suspicious. Starting tomorrow, pull out all the nails outside the city! Li Zunwei's eyes were quite clear. Those wines were just drunk for those who cared about it, and in fact he was not half drunk in his heart.
"The prince is far-sighted, and the last general is really beyond his reach!" , Wo Ke Yeli patted the horse's ass.
Li Zunwei listened very comfortably, but he still pretended to be humble and said: "The general has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he is much better than the king who can only read some poetry and books in terms of arranging troops, so don't be arrogant." Li Zunwei held Wo Keyeli's arm and said with relief.
In the end, Wo Keye Li is the general of the Xia Kingdom, and Li Zunwei will only show the majesty of the prince in front of him if his head is rusty. This kind of posture makes the heart of refuge in Wo Ke Yeli's heart stronger, and he thinks that Li Zunwei, who can be a corporal of courtesy, is the lord of the Ming monarch.
Just as the two of them were lifting each other, Dospa, who had already returned to the Xia army camp from the secret passage, was thinking of a way with some distress.
The first is how to spread the news, and the second is how to rescue Turgan and other brothers. But for a while, he didn't have a perfect way, so he was distressed until the second half of the night, and then fell asleep.
The next day, the camp of the Xia army, which covered a large area, was like a giant waking up from sleep, and quickly moved into action.
The eleven outposts outside Ganzhou City were also immediately under tremendous pressure.
There are now five outposts on the east side and six on the west side. It was also the Xia army that had been facing the west in the east before, so the number of outposts in the east was more than in the west. Now that part of it has been withdrawn, it is still the same as the west. If the Xia army wants to attack Ganzhou without scruples, it must pull out these nails. And when Khorasan arranged these posts, he valued them because they were easy to defend and difficult to defend.
Therefore, if the Xia army wants to break through all the outposts, it must spend a lot of energy.
At this moment, the top management of the Xia army made up their minds to eradicate the outposts, so almost all the soldiers and horses of the Xia army were mobilized. The Zhangjia outpost, which has the convenience of the terrain, was not biased, and was surrounded by the three layers of the Xia army.
Han Zazhen was the main general of the attack on the Zhangjia outpost, and almost all the offensive tasks were also taken care of by the Liangzhou soldiers.
Just listen to the pop... The trees crackled and burned.
Han Zazhen ordered all the pastures and woods around the post to be set on fire so that the Xia army could attack. And a large amount of sand was buried in the nearby water, and then laid wooden planks, and Xia Jun walked on the ground as if walking.
"Humph! Let's see how long you can carry it! When Han Zhazhen said this, his eyes looked beyond the outpost and looked at Ganzhou City.
He was also curious about what kind of medicine Khorasan was selling! Why did the previous offensive suddenly become so timid? not only made the soldiers of the Xia Army puzzled, but also made him feel uneasy.
As he thought about this, the fire had burned the woodland and meadows around the outpost to white. Billowing smoke enveloped the perimeter of the outpost, making the soldiers inside uncomfortable.
Fortunately, fire belts were arranged around the outpost in advance! Otherwise, the outpost would have burned down. The soldiers were also equipped with masks, which were moistened with clean water to prevent poisonous gases caused by thick smoke.
And because the rich man who lived before Zhuangzi, where the outpost was located, was famous for his strong financial resources, so after it was changed to a outpost, the fortifications were more complete.
With adequate preparation, it is not so easy to attack.
However, the Xia army used siege equipment, and the Zhangjia outpost fell into the threat of destruction. In the end, it is a Zhuangzi, not a city. Catapults and other siege equipment can scrape down the ground of the Zhangjia outpost.
"These thieves! What a fuss! Ali Hilrid hid under the wall, shouting and cursing Xia Jun outside. But at this time, everyone did not dare to show their faces, and the posture of the boulder falling down was very terrifying. So no one cared about his scolding.
Han Zazhen's mood is extremely refreshing!
Although there was still no movement in the city, he was still a little uneasy, but it was still very happy to see the destruction of Zhangjiashao under his nose.
Just listen to the "boom boom boom ······", the boulder smashed into the Zhangjia outpost like a meteor shower under the prying motion of the catapult. Although the accuracy is not good, it cannot stand a large amount. And the house of the outpost has no legs. Under the constant bombardment of boulders, the inside of the outpost was like an earthquake. Houses collapsed, and many soldiers were buried inside.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the city of Ganzhou.
Then I saw that the cannon was lifted, revealing a black hole.
"Put!" Tuturak looked at the smoke below and said in a solemn voice.
The artillery was immediately ignited and shelled towards the position of the catapult.
As early as when the situation of the war horses appeared, the artillery was urgently transported from the territory of Huihe under the order of Li Chengji. He has never shown his face, and Xia Jun doesn't know how powerful the artillery is. Now, as soon as the power is fired, those catapults will suffer.
It was also when the outpost was built, and Li Gao took into account the distance problem. Therefore, the outposts were almost all covered by the artillery of Ganzhou City, so that the defenders in the city could provide sufficient support.
Now that he suddenly intervened on the battlefield, he immediately showed his ferocious side. The Xia army, which was still attacking in an orderly manner, immediately showed a rout. Han Zazhen was killed by artillery, and the Xia army was in chaos.
The gates of the city also burst open, and a group of armored cavalry rushed out.
This is the only remaining healthy war horse in the city, or it was captured from the Xia people before. The quality layer is uneven, and it can only be improvised.
So as the cavalry came out, the nearest Xia army suffered a head-on attack. If it weren't for the fact that there were too few cavalry, all the troops in the city would definitely be able to destroy the Xia army outside the city.
Unfortunately, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and as the other Xia troops resumed their formations and surrounded them, the Khorasan cavalry that had risen up could only retreat. At the same time, some of the dilapidated outposts were abandoned, and the defenders quickly withdrew into the city with reinforcements from out of the city.
When the city gate is closed, it will be difficult for the Xia army to attack the city again. He withdrew to the camp in disgrace and licked his wounds.
The current crisis of the attacked outpost is resolved, but it is only temporary. If the Xia army attacks again, it will be in danger. Ali Hilrid couldn't let go of the wounded soldiers in the outpost, so he didn't retreat. He ordered his subordinates to count the battle damage and take care of the wounded.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a group of Xia Jun leaned towards the Zhangjia outpost. They held white flags and shouted at the Zhangjia outpost: "I am a soldier of Khorasan, and I have important news to report." ”。
As soon as the young man finished speaking, a sharp arrow was shot at him. The teenager avoided it, but he still shouted unrelentingly.
