In the camp outside the Guangmen Gate in the east of Kaiping City, although the fire is dim and noisy. But in the darkness at the other end of the camp, there were patches of armor and light, and after they had eaten and waited, they drove out of the camp in order, and slowly and quietly approached the city wall.
For a moment there was only the movement of the crowd, mixed with the rustle of the wind and the grass and trees, and the equally dim swaying of the fires above the city. There were thrilling crosses of the battleground under the city and the ditches that had been filled in because of the battles of the day;
The walls that require enough casualties and losses to touch and climb during the day are already within easy reach. Then he was more cautious and cautious, moving little by little under the walls towards the city gates.
From time to time, fine pieces of sand and dust fell, and they fell on the head of the moving queue, and they choked their mouths and noses, but they were forcibly endured by the help of the left and right.
At last a number of torches were stretched out at the head of the city, meeting and swaying according to a certain rhythm and order.
The doorway slowly opened from the inside out, revealing a large hollow illuminated by torches, as if it could be ignited by the sparks in the city area.
Warriors with short blades and medallion in their helmets and armor were the first to swarm in, followed by door gunners with short spears and trap armorers with axes and hammers, followed by archers in armor and crossbowmen with flat hands.
With some kind of loose and irregular layered fish scale array, it quickly opened out of the camp and moved closer to the city wall. It was like a sudden gust of wind blowing in the field on the outskirts of the city.
In the midst of the movement and sound of countless Suosuo gathering, it finally turned into a raging tide of raging waves rushing towards the city wall.
Until this moment, Luo Zhanji's eyes suddenly swelled, and it seemed that he could comfort his ancestors and relatives who had died in battles in previous dynasties.
Then, in the other direction, since the city gate was opened as promised, it was time for those Pinglu troops to start making a gesture of breaking through.
Of course, this "breakthrough operation" agreed upon by the two sides will be closely monitored and watched by the troops and horses mobilized by Luo Fan to ensure that there are no accidents and changes.
Of course, as the lord of the Luo Domain, a little knot and resentment is wishing that these men and horses who broke through the siege would do something superfluous, so that Luo's army would have a reason and excuse to break the contract and attack.
As an old opponent, the Xue clan is certainly as deep as the sea, but how good can these Northern Dynasty military horses of Pinglu Dao be. It is nothing more than a compromise and choice under the trade-off of which is more important than the other.
It's not like no one has suggested that you should do something to deal with this lone soldier, rather than let them walk away in vain.
However, under the condition that the opening of the city was relatively smooth, he still let go of the idea and plan to take the initiative to provoke this right and wrong, after all, it is still the top priority to take Kaiyi City and completely solve the old rival of the Xue family, who has been entangled for more than ten generations.
There is really no need to make more extraneous complications in the established arrangements and planning accidents.
He even began to think about how to deal with the resistance of the soldiers and civilians of the Xue clan after the city was broken, and to what extent the power of the Xue clan should be liquidated.
At least even if they can't blindly slaughter the city to vent their anger as the bitter and vengeful radicals in the family want, they must capture these surviving Xue related prisoners and exile them to the lonely island as hard labor.
Then the household registration of the people in the city will also be scattered and relocated to other places, and they will be supervised and slowly absorbed and transformed; Then immigrants from other places came to fill in the households, and under the arrangement of the Luo clan, they took over these vacant fields and houses, so as to gradually replace the basis of the Xue family's generational rule.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea that he could sell these accounts related to the Xue family to Huaidong, which could be discounted as rewards and military expenses.
Then, in the following days, he will arrange for his children and grandchildren to marry the women of the Xue family one after another, so as to carry out some kind of blood fusion. It is not only the mercy and grace of the victor to the conquered object, but also the long-term peace and stability of the land of Liaoxi to completely conquer and digest.
And after cutting off the black hand stretched out from the south, the tents of the grasslands outside the mountains and the princes of the Northland Alliance are just dry bones in the mound that can be slowly concocted. Of course, it will take a period of recuperation and hard work, however, this is obviously what he is good at.
When necessary, you can also borrow troops from Huaidong to assist in defense, and at the same time make profits from trade and sea trade to strengthen the power of your family. When there is a reserve of two or three years of normal harvest, that is, when the Antonro clan raises troops again and threatens the north.
At this time, the sound of fighting and fierce fighting in and above the city gradually spread. It was only after a long time that a heavy gate suddenly fell with a bang, cutting off the people who were pouring into the city into two sections.
More than a dozen sergeants who were under him were crushed into meatloaf, and blood sprayed all over the faces of nearby comrades.
This result also made the generals who were commanding at the front line change color. Obviously, this is a complete trap and scam,
Thousands of death squads rushed through the open gates, and after the fierce shouts and screams faded away, they never appeared on the top of the city or anywhere else.
And the city head was also suddenly bright, and the ambush soldiers gathered under the city were caught off guard, and for a time the rolling oil cannon stones fell like rain, so that the Luo soldiers and horses, who had no cover and protection, were killed and wounded and corpses were all over the ground.
Luo Sijin was almost cold all over, and then a fishy smell rushed to his throat and spread in his mouth. But he was self-reliant.
"I want those Pinglu soldiers to pay for their lives......"
He roared almost hoarsely
"Leave no ...... behind"
A moment later, he got another bad news that made people vomit blood, and the Pinglu army who ran out of the south gate just shook a shot, and after turning around slowly, he shrank back in public.
At the same time, a cavalry that had sneaked out of another city gate suddenly turned its face and pounced on the nearest siege machine, although it was surrounded and annihilated by the soldiers of the left guard who fought against the battle, but most of the corresponding equipment was also burned by the incendiary materials thrown by the other side.
In the end, Luo Zhanji, who was pale, was almost supported by his cronies to return to his camp, and then he couldn't hold back and spit out a large mouthful of dark blood, and fell down softly.
"Quick. Recruit the people from Huaizhen back......"
Before he passed out, he only had time to leave this sentence
In the midst of the fighting and cheers at the head of Kaiyi City, Xue Dingfeng, who led the team to come over, was also seeing it with his own eyes
How were the enemy pioneers who rushed into the city in one fell swoop and shocked, under the rain of arrows at the head of the city and the siege of swords and guns on three sides, the desperate cries of despair shrank a little bit, and finally all fell sideways and vertically in the horse-rejecting fence that looked like an urn city.
However, compared to the cheering atmosphere and shouts around him, he looked at Xue Shirong, who had rushed over temporarily, but did not have any joy, but was in a somewhat complicated and unpleasant mood.
These Pinglu troops didn't make a move, and as soon as they made a move, they were shocked, and they killed two birds with one stone in the pit of the people and horses who came to steal the city and the siege equipment outside the city.
This is of course a trick and means to deceive the enemy for Luo Fan, but for the Xue family, who has been kept in the dark, this is more than a plan to kill two birds with one stone, I am afraid that even the follow-up reactions and countermeasures of the Xue family will be calculated.
After all, after something like this happened, no one would easily believe the next time.
And this serial fraud not only destroyed Luo Fan's siege preparations, but also cut off the channels for private negotiation and surrender within the Xue clan in order to protect themselves, and even the last line of possibility.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little deeply jealous of this person who resolutely led troops into Kaiyi City instead of fleeing away after the defeat of Dongshan City, and Li Xiyao, the deputy envoy of Lu Longjun's Zhidu regiment.
Compared with this deep-minded and vicious general of the Pinglu Army, Zuo Qigong and Kang Gongbi, who had previously held hostage to the young feudal lord and other high-level officials in disguise, and fled home from afar, were just the pattern ears of the dogs guarding the household.
