Chapter 730: Almost Breaking the City
In the northern city, Li Ji took a group of generals to check today's battle damage, although the thunder came out and scared away 500,000 enemy troops, but there were still more than a dozen soldiers on the city head who were hit by stray arrows, after all, there were thousands of crossbowmen below who continued to suppress with bows and arrows, and many soldiers on the city went out out out of curiosity.
"Dashuai, it's too strong, this thunder is simply an invincible existence, the last general thinks that if the enemy breaks and flees today, he will be able to kill the enemy's 500,000 army in one fell swoop, so won't this war end?" Adjutant General Huang An said loudly.
Several other generals moved, and they all looked at Li Ji excitedly.
Li Ji stood in front of the sand table, raised his head and swept over the generals, and said with a slight smile: "Just because of a surprise victory, you will become an arrogant soldier?" Yesterday, I was still worried that I wouldn't be able to hold on. ”
Although Li Ji's smile was as warm as the warm spring breeze in March, everyone still heard something strange from it, and when it was over, the handsome man was going to get angry.
"You must know that the proud army will be defeated, what if the enemy's rout and escape today is a trap? Then where are the lives of the millions of soldiers and civilians in my northern city? ”
"I don't dare to wait, the lesson of the commander is that the general is careless." Huang An bowed his head and said.
"The ladder has been destroyed, and it will take three days for the enemy to attack again at the earliest, so think about how the enemy will attack next time?"
Throwing down a sentence, Li Ji went straight out of the door to visit the wounded soldiers in the barracks.
And this question is actually a question that Yuangai Suwen and others are thinking about.
"Datang has this weapon, we don't know how many thunderstorms they have, but they are only targeting our ladders, if this is the case every time, I'm afraid we will never want to climb to the top of the city.
Everyone is discussing, how to crack this city? Yuangai Suwen asked.
It's a pity that everyone who has seen the power of thunder in the sky, which one is not afraid? So for a while, there was a collective silence.
The Western Turk Mo He opened his mouth: "Look at their actions today, they only blew up the cloud ladder and did not target the soldiers, and only threw fifty thunderbolts at a time, which is very strange, if they threw a thousand, wouldn't all the 10,000 soldiers be left?" Will it be ......?"
Yuangai Suwen slapped his thigh, "The Great Khan is so extreme, it must be that the number of thunderstorms in their sky is insufficient, haha, so there are countermeasures, and stay for a few days, build more cloud ladders, we will attack the city on all sides, see how many thunders they can have?" ”
"It would be nice if we brought more craftsmen, at the current speed, it is too hard to build a ladder." General Hui complained.
This sentence reminded everyone, who would have thought that the Great War would require craftsmen to be the main force?
The Grand Prince of Baekje had a flash of inspiration, "Why don't you let all the soldiers cut down trees and build ladders?" ”
The leader of Murowei sneered: "What the eldest prince said is light, the grassland trees are scarce, and the nearest hill from here is also a hundred miles away.
Besides, are ladders so easy to make? If so, there is no need to take craftsmen with them. ”
You brute......
Yuangai Suwen grabbed the two people who looked at each other unpleasantly, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Wait, what the eldest prince said is reasonable, but it reminds me, since they want to blow up the cloud ladder, then why should we all cause it to be intact?"
Although the soldiers don't know the skills of craftsmen, they can also make fake ladders, as long as they can go up one or two feet, and when the time comes, they will be deceived into throwing down a large number of thunderbolts.
When their thunderbolts are gone, it will be the day we break the city. ”
"The alliance leader is clever!"
Everyone praised it in unison, this Yuan Gai Suwen is indeed a good plan.
Sure enough, three days later, the 500,000 army besieged the city again, and it was still the 100,000 army of Murowei and Jianya who went out to fight, but the difference was that they attacked in unison from all sides.
The generals at the head of the city looked at it, it's not good, why are there so many cloud ladders? Could it be that the enemy has been prepared for a long time?
"Dashuai, this, this ......" Huang An was anxious.
Li Ji took the binoculars and looked carefully at the siege army that was rushing wildly, the ladders carried by them seemed to be much simpler than normal, but they were also ladders, and they were not good at the skills of barbarian craftsmen.
In an emergency, it is necessary to calm the hearts of the army, Li Ji said in a deep voice: "The generals listen to the order and defend the four city walls, it is still an old strategy, only blow up the enemy's ladder, and must not let one of the enemy climb the city." ”
"No!"
"Hahahaha, Li Ji, you can't hold it, opening the door and surrendering is your only way to live." Yuangai Suwen laughed wildly.
"If there is a kind of you, you will attack, and Ben Shuai will reward you with a thunderbolt to taste." Li Ji's eyes were deep, and no one could see what he was thinking.
"Hmph, attack, whoever climbs the city first will be rewarded with a thousand gold."
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the morale of the barbarian soldiers instantly increased by three points, as if everyone had forgotten the fright of three days ago for the sake of this thousand gold.
Li Ji's face sank like water, he closed his eyes slightly, and he always felt that something was wrong, but at this time, there was no time for him to think, there was already a sound of bombing at the south gate of the city, and it was the deputy general Huang An who had already fought with the enemy.
"Fried! Explode! Explode!
Hahahaha, boys, just blow it up like this, see how many ladders these barbarians can have? Fry as much as you want. ”
Huang An's sound of wild laughter continued to echo in the city, and all the soldiers were also boosted in morale, and they were all very excited.
But the good times didn't last long, the first batch of ladders leaning on the south wall was only a hundred, I thought that after a round, the enemy would flee like yesterday, but Huang An never expected that the enemy would have a second round of ladders?
Another hundred? Looking into the distance, okay, there is even a third round, a fourth round? What's the situation? Did the enemy build a ladder so fast? Forget it, blow it up first.
Soon, Huang An couldn't hold it anymore, and his southern city wall consumed five hundred thunderbolts in just one hour? The enemy is still attacking, this consumption is too great, the four city walls, that is to say, two thousand thunderbolts have entered in one hour?
It's not good, Huang An realized the seriousness of the problem, and shouted: "Brothers, stop, remove the thunder, and all use bows and crossbows to defend the city." ”
Then handed over the city defense to his subordinates, and Huang An hurried to find Li Ji.
At this time, Li Ji also knew what was wrong, although he didn't know where the enemy's ladder came from, but the city still had to be defended, and with a wave of his long sword, "Thunder and thunder withdraw, the crossbowmen will come forward to shoot the enemy, and the rolling wood and stones will be prepared." ”
"Hahahaha, Li Ji, the thunder is gone, even if you have a magic weapon in your hand, it will be difficult to resist my 500,000 army, surrender as soon as possible." Yuangai Suwen laughed wildly on his warhorse.
The soldiers under the city took a look, okay, it really worked, the enemy's thunder was used up, and he was still afraid of a bird, so he rushed directly!
I have to say that although the overall military quality of the barbarian soldiers is not good, but the bravery is really brave, and in just two quarters of an hour, there was a lot of damage on the head of the city.
When the deputy general Huang An arrived, Li Ji shouted angrily: "Bastard, what should you be guilty of losing the city if you leave your post without permission?" ”
"Dashuai, this battle is not right, the thunder is consumed too fast, and it can't be used anymore."
"What about the messenger sent by the marshal to herald?"
It turned out that Li Ji had already sent someone to send an order to save the thunder when he changed countermeasures, but the herald and Huang An missed it.
"Go back to defend the city quickly, easily do not move the thunder, and only use the thunder in times of difficulty." In a critical situation, Li Ji ordered to use good steel on the blade, although it was a helpless word, but it was a mistake, which was a tactic to restrain the enemy, after all, most of the enemy's ladders were fakes, and fake ladders could not climb the city.
