Chapter 573: The army rushes to help

In the camp of the summer army, Li Zunwei, the king of Qi, has been paying attention to the battle on the field.

"How's going in town?" , Li Zunwei finally couldn't stay in the tent, and came to the battlefield to rush to the Wo Ke Ye Li Road.

"The western thief is cunning, and he has already found the exit of the secret passage and made an ambush in advance. Our soldiers and horses are all planted in the city. ", Wo Ke Yeli said with a sad face. In order to attract the attention of the Khorasan army, the siege cost a lot of manpower. Under the city wall, a layer of human corpses has been piled up. It's a pity that the secret passage still didn't work, and so many lives were wasted in vain.

When Li Zunwei heard this, his face was not very good-looking. He sighed and said, "Withdraw, withdraw!" ”。 Since the Xia army failed to gain a foothold in the city, then attacking the city again would be a head for Khorasan in vain.

Wo Ke Yeli also knew that tonight's siege battle was a failure, so he ordered his generals to give an order to Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

But at this moment, a peripheral cavalry ran over in a panic and reported loudly: "Oh no! Checkmate! West... There is a large force of cavalry in front of you! ”。 The cavalry general didn't take a breath on the road, so he was a little out of breath when he spoke.

"Huh?!" When the generals present heard this, they were all surprised. Wo Ke Yeli's face also changed greatly, but instead he cut off the young general's head with a knife, and reprimanded angrily: "Evil words confuse the public, the enemy army is in the city, where is the large force of cavalry?" ”。 That being said, he actually believed the young general's words in his heart.

It's just that at this moment, such news must not be disseminated.

After all, the failure of the siege had demoralized the Xia army, and the news of the attack by a large force of cavalry spread, and the Xia army was even more unwilling to fight. He urged the generals below to quickly gather their troops and horses so that they could deal with the invading enemy. Although Li Zunwei rarely got involved in military affairs, he did not understand it at all. Knowing that Wo Keyeli's approach was to stabilize the morale of the army, he also forced himself to suppress the worries in his heart.

In the west, Li Chengji was riding on a horse, looking at the light of the east with a worried face. That was where Ganzhou City was located, and the lit torch could be vaguely understood even if it was several miles away. It's just a little bit apart, so the light looks more like a campfire.

"Lord of the Kingdom! Xia Ren spoke! Ba Rahei came to Li Chengji and reported.

"What did they say?" , Li Chengji asked while riding a horse. Soon after entering the territory of Ganzhou, the vanguard army encountered enemy rangers. Although he ran a lot, he also caught a few people. So he asked Ba Rahei to interrogate him personally, so as to get some information about Ganzhou.

It was also since the Xia army's counteroffensive that the defenders of Ganzhou City lost contact with Suzhou. This made Li Chengji not feel at ease in Suzhou, so after urgently collecting 30,000 war horses in Huihe and Xia, he led the army to gallop to help non-stop.

The counselors of the General Staff Department are reluctant to do this! The generals who stayed behind did not want Li Chengji to risk his life. However, the situation in Ganzhou really worried Li Chengji, and the soldiers and horses under him were also unstable due to the stalemate in the battle situation in Ganzhou.

Therefore, Li Chengji needs a personal expedition to completely defeat the spirit of the Xia army. It is also possible for those who are restless to soften for the time being.

"The Xia army has opened up a number of secret passages, and tonight it will attack the city inside and outside." , Ba Rahei's tone was not good. Although he believed that with Li's prudence and sufficient soldiers in the city, Ganzhou would not be so easily breached. But Ganzhou City has been cut off for several days like an isolated island, and it is difficult not to worry.

Li Chengji listened, and also felt that the situation in Ganzhou City was critical! He asked the generals below to speed up and rush to Ganzhou City.

In the city of Ganzhou, after a big battle in the middle of the night, although the defenders successfully stopped the enemy outside the city, they also suffered a lot of losses. Because the city wall of Ganzhou City was newly repaired, it was tall and firm, and it could not even be compared to Broken Leaf City. Therefore, the Xia army passed the siege ladder and easily climbed to the top of the city.

As a result, many times, Khorasan and the Xia army fought hand-to-hand at the head of the city. The casualty rate is also higher than in previous battles.

But now is far from the time to relax!

Even if the Xia army had retreated, they had to guard against them suddenly attacking the city again. In addition, the dead and wounded soldiers after the war needed to be resettled, and the broken city walls needed to be repaired. There are also war horses, food and clothing, ordnance, etc., which should be supplemented. Therefore, there are all kinds of trivial matters, so that the Khorasan camp is still busy.

As a military general, Manaturi naturally doesn't worry about these trivial matters. But he was not idle, but came to the city and found Li Gao, who was patrolling the defense, to ask for a big event.

Speaking of which, it's not that hard! But it's extremely risky to do. That is, through the secret passage left by the Xia army, counterattack the Xia army's camp.

"Have you thought about it?" , Li looked at Manaturia seriously.

After all, Xia Jun is not a fool, since he dares to enter the city through the secret passage, he will strictly guard it at the end of the secret passage. Otherwise, if you are counterattacked by Khorasan, won't it be a stealing of chickens and rice!

"The last general heard that there were smoke bombs in the barracks, and if he used this thing to open the way, great things would be done." It was also when Manaturi was receiving fire oil at the armory that he heard about the existence of smoke grenades. At that time, he thought it was fire and thunder, and it was not until the soldiers in charge explained the effect of smoke bombs that he knew the difference between them and fire and thunder.

For this thing, Li Gao has also heard of it. He didn't know how effective it would be if it was an object used to confuse the enemy's vision. When these things were brought from behind, he didn't pay much attention to them. Because compared to the lethal fire and thunder, the smoke bomb that can only be pretended to be a maze is not so important.

Of course, there are also a small number of smoke grenades, and if only a few are used, the effect achieved is not satisfactory. And this thing is not suitable for open venues, and it has not been used before.

Now that Manaturi mentioned it, Li Qi also remembered that there was still this thing in the armory.

But that doesn't reassure Li Atmosphere! He said loudly: "There must be an ambush on the Xia army's side, and this trip can be described as a life of nine deaths." ”。 It's still good for the better! In Li Gao's heart, it is completely a certain death.

Manathu is not clear! But he wanted to make a meritorious service, and he had tried the effect with smoke bombs, and he had confidence in it. I couldn't bear it anymore and decided to take a risk.

If this matter is successful, Xia Jun's situation will be even worse. I can't say, there is still a possibility that victory or defeat will be decided in one fell swoop. Even if it didn't, it would be a blow to the morale of the Xia army. In the next time, the Xia army will not dare to attack the city easily.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Li Gao still agreed to Manaturi's request. He was promised that he could take all the smoke grenades from the armory. Even if it is fire and thunder, it is also a hundred pieces.

This made Manaturi more confident, and he hurried down to prepare.
