The sky is low.

Dark clouds weigh down on the city.

Siye stood at the head of the city and looked at the Turks outside the city.

Lao County is a city with a long history, when Zhao Wuling King broke the Hu people, encompassing thousands of miles, the beginning of Lai County.

Lao County also has the name of the small river east, its topography is simply a small Hedong whole territory, the east and west sides are mountains, between the two mountains a flat river, a Hutuo River flows through the plain from north to south.

The ancients said that here, the total battlefield of tens of millions of mulberry fields, and the terracotta of one hundred and two rivers and mountains, have always been the place where soldiers must fight.

Therefore, it is also known as the lock and key of the three jins.

When the emperor came out of Yanmen Pass, the Turks attacked, Siye led the army to open the way for the forward, the Turks came too fast, the emperor hurriedly withdrew into Yanmen, and Siye's left army was also blocked in Laoxian.

There was no time to retreat to Yanmen, which was hundreds of miles away, to join the emperor.

Fortunately, although Lao County is small, it is still very dangerous to be the key to the Three Jin Dynasty, and there are a lot of military rations hoarded in the city.

There is food, there are soldiers, and the heirs will defend according to the county, and fight with the Turks here.

"General, there are too many Turks, and there are at least 80,000 Turks outside the city." Captain Liu Hongji said.

"Indeed."

When the Turks swept away the rest of the cities in Yanmen County, most of the soldiers and horses returned to Yanmen City and Laoxian County, where there were at least 180,000 Turks, and there were 80,000 under Laoxian.

In addition, about 40,000 Turks were fighting grass valleys all over Yanmen.

In the past few days, the number of Turks under the city of Laoxian has increased from 50,000 to 80,000, and new Turks are arriving every day.

Another lieutenant, Yin Kaishan, said worriedly, "After a few days of fierce fighting, our Left First Army has also suffered a lot of casualties, and more than 3,000 people have been killed and seriously wounded. ”

Liu Hongji and Yin Kaishan are Luo Siye's right-hand men, two of the most brave generals under his command, Liu Hongji's father was the assassin of Hezhou, but he died early, he was unruly when he was young, he liked to make friends with light chivalrous people, and he did not produce, which made the family business ruined. Later, he was named the right servant of his father's shadow and accompanied the emperor on his expedition to the east, but he was beheaded by mistake, so he and his subordinates deliberately slaughtered cattle and broke the law, and then were arrested and imprisoned.

After a year in prison, he was released from prison, and when he came out, he died and became a horse thief against him. Later, the Xiaoguo Army expanded its recruitment, and Liu Hongji enlisted in the army and joined the Left First Army.

And Yin Kaishan's father was the secretary of the secretary province, and he himself became the magistrate of Dagu County, and later transferred to the Xiaoguo Army to join the army, but although he was a civilian official, he was also a cavalry and archer, and he was also very military strategic, so he was reused by the heir.

"You have to fight!"

Inheritance Road.

The Turks surrendered to them more than once, but Luo Siye never thought of surrendering.

"The moonlight should be good tonight, so let the brethren have a full meal, and we will go out of the city and attack the camp."

There are too many enemy troops, and you can't blindly defend the city, otherwise you will definitely not be able to defend it for a long time.

Especially now that the Turks have taken many Han people and craftsmen to come over, and they are unscrupulously building siege equipment outside the city, which really allows them to build all of them, and this Lao County is even more difficult to defend.

Attacking the camp tonight, not to defeat the Turks, but to destroy those instruments.

"Good!" Liu Yiner will be unequivocal.

are all bold people, especially Liu Hongji, who is a ruthless person who has been a horse thief and has been a horse thief if he has not been an officer.

Night.

Three watches in the middle of the night.

It's quiet.

The gate of Laoxian City was quietly opened, Luo Siye led two thousand iron-wrapped black lacquered horses and dragon horses to ride in front, and Liu Hongji and Yin Kaishan each led four thousand Xuanjia light horses behind.

10,000 cavalry killed.

Go straight to the place where the Turks built siege machines outside the city.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night.

The flames set fire to a beyond-to-be-finished siege machine and piles of felled timber.

The Turks shouted, but Siye led his cavalry all the way to kill him.

Homicide.

Set.

The chaos continued until dawn.

Siye returned to the city with his cavalry, and although he lost more than a thousand men, he succeeded in burning all the Turkic siege equipment and wood, and broke through several Turkic camps, killing thousands.

The results were abundant.

After dawn.

The enraged Turks began to gather their troops and prepare for a storm.

Without siege equipment, the Turks had to improvise trees to make some of the simplest ladders.

Heiye only squinted for a moment.

And he hurried again to the head of the city, and watched.

"It seems that the Turks are really annoyed and angry, and they don't plan to rebuild the equipment, but attack directly."

"I led the army out of the city, leaning on the city to line up, Captain Yin, you command in the city, support the cover with crossbowmen, and Captain Liu, you lead the cavalry to cover on both wings."

Don't defend the city, this is the rich experience that Heiye obtained by following Luo Cheng's expedition to the east and west.

If you only defend the city, then the defense will be too thin.

It was necessary to go out of the city to defend it, but unfortunately the strongholds and fortresses on the outskirts of Laoxian County were lost, and they could no longer contain the enemy's forces and threaten their flanks and rear.

Then you can only go out of the city and defend according to the city.

In this way, the defense of the defenders becomes an active defense, which can be attacked and defended, and the depth of the defense is wider.

Unless there is really no energy left, it is extremely dangerous to defend the city behind closed doors.

Some officers persuaded him not to defend the city, but he said, "With more than 20,000 against 80,000, if you can't defend it, or it may be feasible, but you can't shrink back, how can you defeat the enemy?" And how to go north to King Qin to break the siege? ”

Siye led his army out of the city.

Put nearly 10,000 light infantry on and behind the city, and cover the city with bows.

Under the city, there are 2,000 Mo swordsmen and 2,000 long-handled axe men in the middle, more than 5,000 light cavalry on the left and right wings, and behind the infantry, there are 1,000 heavy cavalry with black lances and dragons.

It's an all-out fight.

The Turkic commander under the city of Laoxian is Ashina Lifushe, who is the son of the Khan of Qimin, the younger brother of the Khan, and is also strong and brutal.

Last night, he was annoyed and angry by the heirs of the Turks, losing his troops, especially after being destroyed for many days.

He promised Shibi before that he would capture Laoxian in three days, but it didn't break for six or seven days.

Seeing that the Tang army still dared to go out of the city to line up, he set up orders to drink again and again, causing the Turkic light cavalry to rush forward.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In the city of Laoxian, thousands of arrows were fired.

Even the spearmen, sword players, and baggage soldiers deployed behind the city walls lined up neatly under the city, holding infantry longbows and shooting at the sky together.

In front of the city.

The light cavalry, the Mo swordman, and the long axe hand also raised their bows and fired wildly before engaging the enemy.
