Chapter 202: The Trench

"Has the scout been here?" Li Chengqian asked. 35xs

"Yes, Your Highness! The news from the secret outpost we arranged outside revealed that there were more than five groups of Xue Yantuo scouts lurking outside our army's camp. ”

Now that the "accurate" news has been transmitted back to Ba Zhuo, at this time, Ba Zhuo is afraid that he has already ordered all his troops and horses to kill. Wang Fangyi said.

"In this way, Xue Yantuo should appear in front of us soon, can the various ministries be ready?" Li Chengqian said.

"According to His Highness's orders, a barbed wire fence has been built outside the camp, and a trench has been dug outside the barbed wire, Xue Yantuo wants to break through the camp without paying the price, I'm afraid he won't even be able to touch the horns of the camp." Wang Fangyi said.

"Good! You go and keep an eye on the point, now is the critical moment, don't be careless! There are also people sent to Shengzhou, Shuozhou, and Lingzhou to ask for help. Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Wang Fangyi led the order to retreat.

"Wang Quan, you set off immediately and go to Xiazhou for help! We're just here waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Li Chengqian commanded.

"No!" Wang Quan commanded, "Lang Jun take care!" ”

Now is the time to give full play to his status as the crown prince, and Song Junming, Liu Lan and others in Xiazhou will definitely bring troops to rescue him when they hear that Li Chengqian is surrounded.

If they don't save them, they will be derelict in their duties, and if something really happens to the prince, they will be to blame, and under the emperor's anger, they must be full of people.

Therefore, Song Junming and others must send troops to rescue no matter what, and in order to make Song Junming and others more convinced, Li Chengqian directly sent his personal eunuch to ask for help. Flash Dance

This is also an important reason why Li Chengqian dared to camp here to defend and wait for reinforcements, and dared to use himself as bait.

Otherwise, he was not so stupid, and he used 20,000 partial divisions to provoke the 200,000 troops that were scorching, precisely because of the Tang army in Xiazhou, as well as the Tang army stationed in Shengzhou, Shuozhou, and Lingzhou.

Li Chengqian dared to make such a wild wave, otherwise, he would have patted his ass and left to go back to Chang'an!

Pei Xingjian and the others thought that Li Chengqian would leave first, but they didn't expect the prince to stay.

By the time they reacted, it was too late! The crown prince said that he would not leave the camp at any time, and Xue Yantuo's army could appear at any time.

It's too late to let the prince leave now, and it would be bad if he met Xue Yantuo's army on the way.

Everyone had no choice but to let the prince stay in the camp.

At this time, Xue Yantuo Duomi Khan pulled out 50,000 soldiers and horses, led by the general Menggu Evil Tai to kill here, which was bound to completely annihilate this Tang army and capture the Tang Dynasty prince alive.

Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses were on their way, and Xue Yantuo's army would soon arrive on the battlefield and launch the first wave of attacks.

This prince of the Tang Dynasty, who does not know the height of the sky, must know that their Xue Yantuo soldiers are powerful. Flash Dance

Menggu Evil Tai led the army to a stop in front of the trench outside the Tang army camp.

In front of the Menggu Evil Platform was a trench with a mouth six meters wide, a bottom four meters wide, and a depth of nine meters, and there were many sharp objects inside.

On the opposite side of the trench was a two-meter-high earthen embankment.

In accordance with Li Chengqian's instructions, the Tang army piled up all the soil dug out of the trench and put it on its own side.

In order to facilitate your own bulldozing and filling trenches during the counterattack, you can carry out an effective counterattack.

In addition to this effect, the two-meter-high earthen embankment could also effectively affect the line of sight of Xue Yantuo's army, making it impossible for them to see the situation of the Tang army on the opposite side.

Menggu looked at the trench in front of him and ordered: "Order the soldiers to cut down trees on the spot and build a bridge through this trench. ”

"Yes!" The herald took the order and departed, relaying the order to the army behind him.

The army of 50,000 men and horses immediately divided 10,000 men and horses to cut down trees, and soon enough trees were cut down that they could pass through the trench as long as they could successfully build a wooden bridge.

Annihilate all the Tang troops hiding behind the trenches, of course, except for the prince of the Tang Dynasty, no one else will be left, this is the order of Domi Khan to Menggu Evil Tai.

A pair of simple wooden bridges were built, and the next step was to drive the bridges, and then the whole army passed, and then the opponent was killed.

Can the people of the Tang Dynasty make it so easy for them to succeed?

The answer is obviously no!

Although the people of Xue Yantuo could not observe the situation of the Tang army on the opposite side, the Tang army could observe the movement of the army of Xue Yantuo on the opposite side through the watchtower.

The fact that Menggu Evil Tai ordered people to cut down trees to build a bridge, and wanted to build a wooden bridge over the trench was seen by the sentinels, who passed the news to the generals in the camp.

When Xue Yantuo's army wanted to connect the wooden bridge that had been built from one side to the other, the Tang army immediately rained arrows on the opposite side.

Countless arrows flew into the sky, arcing through the air like a torrential rain.

The Xue Yantuo soldiers hurriedly erected their shields for defense.

After a wave of attacks, the Tang troops behind the earthen embankment stopped shooting, after all, their arrows were limited, and they could not withstand them to make them casually.

The first battle between the two sides was at the cost of Xue Yantuo's casualties of one or two thousand and zero casualties of the Tang army, and the Tang army replaced the glory of the first battle.

While sending people to fight back aimlessly, Menggu Evil Tai ordered people to try to build a wooden bridge, preparing to rush over and kill the Quartet.

After many efforts, Xue Yantuo finally built the first wooden bridge, and with the first one, there will be a second and third one.

"General! The wooden bridge is ready to go! The adjutant general of the Menggu Evil Terrace said.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Menggu Evil Tai laughed and said: "Pass the order, the whole army will rush over and kill all the hateful Tang Dynasty people on the opposite side." ”

"I'd like to see how these rats, who will only hide behind them, tremble under the peak of my Xue Yantuo army."

"And remember, you must capture the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty alive!"

"Yes!" The adjutant general ordered him to leave.

"What's that?" As he looked ahead, he saw something flying, toward the wooden bridge over the trench to be exact.

At this time, countless black dots flew in the sky, rapidly growing in size in front of the eyes of Menggu Evil Tai and his army of Xue Yantuo.

"Bang, bang," countless stones roared and smashed into the trench, destroying all the wooden bridges that Xue Yantuo's army had just erected.

The Tang army behind the earthen embankment on the opposite side actually used trebuchets and smashed large stones as ammunition on the wooden bridge above the trench.

This made the attempt of the Menggu Evil Platform to build a wooden bridge over the trench in vain.

After two waves of stone throwing, the Tang army behind the earthen embankment stopped projecting continuously, as if they could see the situation here.

Seeing this, Menggu Evil Platform was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and it was not easy to build a successful wooden bridge, but it was ruthlessly destroyed by the Tang Army!

Menggu Evil Tai was very angry, but he had no choice but to think of a new way.
