The soldiers and horses of Li Jiqian's troops under the city are still surging towards the city one after another.

Li Jiqian seems to understand his shortcomings, so he tries his best to play to his strengths.

One day.

Li Jiqian launched a total of 20 attacks.

Every attack is surging.

The city's defenses were breached five times, but they were all knocked back.

During the night, there was a truce between the two sides.

Wang Gui summed up the gains and losses in the city gate building.

In today's battle, the south gate defended by Mu Yu was broken three times.

The generals gathered in the city gate building, and secretly pointed at Mu Yu one by one.

Mu Yu was not afraid of other people's accusations, but he didn't dare to face Lao Yang.

When he left the Fuxing Martial Academy, he swore to Lao Yang that he would definitely let Lao Yang see his ability.

However, in today's battle, the gates he defended were breached the most, which made him feel very shameless.

The generals gathered in the city gate building, in addition to the generals of the Datong army, there were also the generals of the Yeqi tribe.

There were more than a dozen people in the Caliber.

In front of everyone, Wang Gui had a dark face and roared: "Mu Yu, you are guilty." ”

Mu Yu knelt on one knee with a pale face, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates are guilty." ”

Wang Gui said coldly: "The southern gate you are defending is heavy. General Ben has sent you 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it can be said that you have a large number of soldiers under your command.

However, you let Li Jiqian's people break through the city wall three times.

Thankfully, your men fought bravely to defeat the enemy and push them back.

Otherwise, this general will not spare you today.

Now that the war is imminent, General Ben will allow you to make meritorious contributions. ”

"My subordinates understand."

Mu Yu gritted his teeth, whispered, and then got up and stood on the side.

Wang Gui stared at the other generals and asked, "How about the battle losses of each department?" ”

The generals began to report in detail on the battle damage of their soldiers and horses.

According to the statistics of Wang Gui's army, in today's battle, more than 16,500 of the 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city of Guier were killed, 4,327 were seriously wounded, and more than 20,000 were slightly wounded.

This battle loss completely exceeded Wang Gui's expectations.

And among them, the most casualties are the soldiers and horses of the wild beggar tribe.

Wang Gui looked solemn and let the generals go down to rest, leaving Mu Yu alone.

When there were only three people left in the city gate building, Wang Gui, Lao Yang and Mu Yu were left, Wang Gui bowed to Mu Yu and said, "Let the general be wronged." ”

Mu Yu swept Tie Qing's face just now, waved his hand and said, "This is what I should do." ”

After a pause, Mu Yu added, "The soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe are unreliable......

This is not Mu Yu's words, but his own experience.

Today, the soldiers and horses on the south gate led by him belong to the wild beggar tribe.

And the South City Gate was breached three times, all because of the non-stop orders of the Yeqi tribe, Mu Yu's orders, and the result of blindly brutal work.

Moreover, if it weren't for Mu Yu turning the tide at a critical time and leading his troops and horses to kill and retreat Li Jiqian's troops who rushed to the city, I'm afraid that Guer City would have been breached long ago.

Therefore, in today's war, Mu Yu is not only innocent, but also has great merit.

The reason why there was the scene just now was completely for the other generals of the Yeqi tribe to see.

Of course, Mu Yu's shame in front of Lao Yang was real.

On the battlefield, it is always the result that is seen, not the process.

Therefore, no matter what happens in the process of leading the troops, winning is meritorious, and losing is having a fault.

It's that simple.

Mu Yu was ashamed of this, but Lao Yang and Wang Gui didn't care.

Compared with Mu Yu's thoughts, Lao Yang and Wang Gui cared more about the war.

The waste shown by the soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe was a bit beyond the expectations of Lao Yang and Wang Gui.

After the whole battle, the Datong army lost no more than 100 soldiers, 1,000 seriously wounded, and many lightly wounded, but it maintained its combat effectiveness.

And the soldiers and horses of the wild beggar tribe lost tens of thousands of people.

This made Lao Yang and Wang Gui a little worried.

Lao Yang muttered: "Re-arm, transfer 30,000 men and horses of the Datong Army, and assign them to the other three gates to assist in the defense." ”

The corners of Wang Gui's mouth twitched: "Old brother, in this way, isn't it equivalent to our Datong Army fighting the main force." If it continues to be consumed for a long time, our Datong army will lose a lot of people......"

Lao Yang glanced at Wang Gui and sneered: "Isn't it the Datong Army that is fighting the main force now?" ”

Wang Gui was stunned, and nodded with a wry smile.

Lao Yang was right, during the entire battle, the Datong army was almost on the wall of the East City Gate, resisting most of the soldiers and horses of Li Jiqian's troops.

However, once the Datong army was separated.

The defenses on the east gate will be weakened relatively speaking.

And the Datong Army will definitely be uncomfortable with the soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe, which is relatively unfamiliar, and its combat effectiveness will be relatively weakened.

In this way, the damage of the Datong army will increase.

This is not in line with Wang Gui's original intention.

Wang Gui said helplessly: "If the battle damage is too great, it will be difficult to explain it after you go back......

Lao Yang's eyes widened instantly, and he scolded: "Is that your business?" ”

Wang Gui said here that it is difficult to explain after going back, not that it is difficult to explain to Yang Qi.

Yang Qi is also a person who knows soldiers, so he has a spectrum in his heart for the battle damage on the battlefield.

Wang Gui here refers to the fathers and elders in the city of Datong Mansion.

After all, many of the soldiers in the Datong Army are the children of Datong Mansion.

If this is lost in the battle at home and facing the field, or if it is lost in the war of aggression, the people may not say anything.

However, it was lost in the war to support the wild beggar tribes.

Wang Gui may be sprayed to death when he goes back.

Of course, there is also a tall one on Wang Gui's head.

Even if the people want to spray people, the first to spray is Yang Qi, the head of Datong Mansion.

This is also the meaning of Lao Yang's words.

Wang Gui made a bitter face and said, "The place that Qilang finally laid down can't be destroyed in the hands of our elders. We have to maintain Shichiro's reputation. ”

Lao Yang glared at Wang Gui fiercely, and said angrily: "Do what the old man said, the old man will personally sit at the East City Gate tomorrow." That's all right, right? ”

Wang Gui was overjoyed, and immediately said: "In this case, then please ask the old brother." ”

Lao Yang and Wang Gui have been on business for many years, and as soon as Wang Gui pouted his buttocks, Lao Yang knew what Wang Gui wanted to do.

Lao Yang took over the defense of the East City Gate, and a big stone in Wang Gui's heart could also fall.

There is Lao Yang guarding the east city gate, which can be said to be foolproof.

Wang Gui witnessed with his own eyes that when Zhao Kuangyin was in the Northern Han Dynasty, Lao Yang blocked the 60,000 Song forbidden army sent by Zhao Kuangyin with 4,000 troops.

Therefore, for Lao Yang to guard the east city gate, Wang Gui is full of confidence.

……

Following.

The sky is clear.

Li Jiqian did not launch a siege battle, but reorganized his troops and horses.

It lasted until noon, when Li Jiqian was originally preparing to launch an attack at noon.

But today's sun is extraordinarily sunny.

When it shines on a person, it is like being poured with hot water.

In this day and age, people basically can't do anything about the weather.

Everything depends on God's face.

Therefore, Li Jiqian had to shelve his offensive plan.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when the weather was not so hot, that Li Jiqian resumed his attack.

Yesterday's main attack on the east gate was frustrated, and Li Jiqian changed his plan to attack the city today.

It became the main attack on the south city gate and the auxiliary attack on the east city gate.

The change in the number of the army outside the city can be clearly seen by the people at the head of the city.

Therefore, when Lao Yang saw the layout of Li Jiqian's department outside the city, he immediately called Wang Gui and asked Wang Gui to continue to sit at the east city gate, and he rushed to the south city gate to help Mu Yu defend the south city gate together.

When Lao Yang arrived at the South City Gate, he obviously felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

There were 30,000 soldiers and horses at the south gate, which seemed to be divided into two groups.

With 10,000 Datong troops as the mainstay, plus thousands of Yeqi tribesmen's soldiers and horses, it is a group of people.

These people, all obeyed Mu Yu's orders.

And the other group of people, all of whom were soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe, led by a general of the Yeqi tribe, disobeyed Mu Yu's orders.

After Lao Yang arrived, he frowned and said coldly: "From now on, all the soldiers and horses on the south city gate will be dispatched by me. Does anyone have an opinion? ”

"Another useless Han ......"

As soon as Lao Yang's words landed, someone spoke sarcastically.

Lao Yang swept his cold eyes towards the man, and the man looked at Lao Yang without showing weakness.

Lao Yang snorted coldly and shouted: "Warlord, on the battlefield, what should you be guilty of questioning the commander's order?" ”

For the time being, the war supervisors under Lao Yang are all served by the students of the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy.

The first of these is the kind of balance.

Hearing Lao Yang's shout, Chong Heng immediately carried his waist knife and reported loudly: "Cut it!" ”

"So what are you waiting for?"

Chong Heng got Lao Yang's order, and immediately rushed to the man unceremoniously, and cut off the man's head with a knife.

In an instant, all the soldiers and horses of the wild beggar tribe looked at Lao Yang differently.

Lao Yang coldly glanced at the soldiers and horses of the wild beggar tribe who were about to move, and sneered: "You must remember clearly that our Datong army is here to help your wild beggar tribe fight. It's not the soldiers and horses of your wild beggar tribe who have come to help us fight.

In this battle, if we lose, we can completely break through and leave.

But you are different, you will become a group of lost dogs who are surrounded and suppressed by Li Jiqian.

Therefore, put away your careful thoughts for the old man and concentrate on the enemy. ”

The soldiers and horses of the wild beggar tribe didn't say a word, they glanced at each other, and then looked at Lao Yang.

Lao Yang didn't bother to look at them again.

Lao Yang immediately ordered, "The first platoon of archers will wait until the enemy is close to fifty paces below the city, and then project." The sword soldiers are behind, ready to smash the old man once the enemy has set up the ladder. The third platoon of pikemen laid me three layers of guns on the city walls. The old man wants to let those party soldiers of Li Jiqian's department, even if they climb the city wall, they can't enter the city wall one step. ”

Lao Yang gave an order, and Mu Yu led the soldiers of the Datong Army and took the lead in obeying Lao Yang's order.

The soldiers and horses of the wild beggar tribe seemed a little uncertain.

After struggling for a long time with a complicated expression, the leader rushed to the post assigned to him by Lao Yang.

The soldiers and horses of the other wild beggar tribes also followed.

Mu Yu looked at the soldiers and horses of the wild beggar tribe who were busy, and sighed sincerely, "Jiang is still an old spicy ......."

Lao Yang glanced at him and said, "As a general who commands the army, His Majesty must be strict. The old man knows that you are afraid that if the bullets are too much, the soldiers and horses of the wild beggar tribe will not obey. However, as a general, when a big war is imminent, you must not hesitate. Kill if you should kill, anyway, it's not the Datong Army......"

As soon as the deployment of the city was completed, the army of Li Jiqian's troops under the city arrived at the city.

The siege was carried out in the same way as yesterday.

The only difference is that Li Jiqian has changed the tactics of the sea of people.

It's no longer about sending people to rush up.

Instead, the soldiers and horses besieging the city were divided into more than a dozen groups.

One after another, they threw themselves on the city.

Since the beginning of the war, the fighting has been far more tragic than yesterday's.

Li Jiqian led an army of 280,000 to attack, how could he be willing to be blocked by a Guerr city.

Therefore, Li Jiqian gave a death order to his subordinates.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses under Li Jiqian's subordinates were almost all playing with their lives when they were attacking the city.

The battle lasted from the afternoon to the evening, and from the evening to the middle of the moon.

The flames of war lit up the skies of the city of Guill.

The shouts of killing have never stopped.

The corpses under the city were piled up layer after layer.

Stumps and severed arms can be seen everywhere.

The blood pooled into a river, staining the entire wall a dark red.

The battle, which lasted a day and a night.

The city of Guill stood there like a boulder.

Li Jiqian couldn't break this stubborn stone.

The soldiers were sleepy and lacking, and Li Jiqian could only temporarily truce.

After seeing Li Jiqian's troops and horses receding like a tide.

All the people at the head of the city collapsed to the ground.

Some of them were still bleeding from their wounds, but they had fallen asleep against the walls.

The doctors of the Datong Army, under such circumstances, rushed to the city to treat the wounded soldiers.

Unfortunately, there were so many injured people.

Almost subconsciously, the doctors passed over the soldiers who were too seriously injured to treat those who were less injured.

Luckily, it will turn into a dead corpse in its sleep.

Unfortunately, when you are awake, you will die in despair.

Some people may think that the doctors are disregarding human life, but no one blames them.

That's how cruel war is.

In a pitiful situation where the number of injured people is large, but the doctors are few.

Instead of wasting time trying to save the soldiers who were seriously injured and dying, it was better to save two more soldiers who were slightly injured.

……

Thereafter.

Li Jiqian led his troops to attack the city of Guel for another three days.

At the cost of nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, he still did not gnaw the stubborn stone of Guil City.

And the grain and grass brought by Li Jiqian's ministry are already stretched.

Retirement?

It is impossible for Li Jiqian to withdraw from the army.

So, at the time of the armistice, Li Jiqian convened the generals to discuss the matter.

After five days of torment, Li Jiqian looked a little irritable.

His eyes were red and bloodshot.

Facing the generals kneeling in front of him, Li Jiqian asked in a hoarse and cold voice, "Which of you has a good strategy to break the city of Guier?" ”
