Chapter 441: Xiliang Xing (73)

Now it's okay, the king personally passed the book to reprimand Du Ran, are you still afraid that Du Ran will not send troops?

Du Ran said: "I knew that I should have gone out of the city yesterday, so that I could give the king an explanation, and now this..." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The more he thought about it, the more he regretted that he could have won yesterday, but because he was careful in his work, and he was sure that the enemy would not dare to attack the city, and the siege would cost a huge amount, so he would rather defend the city than fight a risky battle. But now it's different, Zhou Gandang sent someone to send a book, he must win one or two battles, otherwise he can't explain.

Wu Qing said: "I don't know if the enemy army will come today.... ”

One of the lieutenants asked, "What is the general going to do if the enemy comes today?" Aren't we sending troops yet? ”

"It's not okay to not send troops..."

In Du Ran's heart, he is still very afraid of Zhou Gandang, he can be disrespectful to anyone, he can not listen to anyone, and he can even treat the emperor's words as a fart, but for Zhou Gandang, he must be 100% obedient, that is the person who controls his lifeline, Zhou Gandang said a word, and he, the marshal and general, will be in vain.

Du Ran's expression was condensed, and he said: "If the enemy comes, let's go out of the city and kill it, and with the strength of my 80,000 iron cavalry, I think the Tang army will not take advantage." ”

"Wu Qing, prepare to send troops, we can't lose this battle."

"No."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present, especially the generals who had been looking forward to the battle for a long time, put a smile on their faces. I can finally go out to fight, and I finally don't have to be insulted by the Tang Army anymore.

"The general is wise."

"The general is wise."

The lieutenants all stood up.

"Newspaper... Report...! ”

At this moment, a soldier ran in from outside the courtyard and said, "General, the Tang army has gone outside the city to call for battle again." ”

"Oh? Just talking about them, here comes it. ”

Du Ran asked, "How many people?" ”

The soldier thought for a moment and replied, "There are about 50,000 men, all of them infantry, and they also carry siege equipment. ”

Du Ran waved his hand and said, "You go down first, we will go up to the city tower immediately." ”

"Yes."

The soldier turned and left.

Du Ran said: "The Tang army is carrying siege equipment, it seems that they want to attack the city, but they only came with 50,000 people, will there be any fraud in this?" Their cavalry.... ”

Du Ran crackled and said a lot, the old problem has been committed again, and he is always suspicious.

The generals were speechless, and one of them stood up and said, "General, you must not hesitate any longer, have you forgotten the king's letter?" ”

Yes, and the king's letters...

Wu Qing said: "The enemy army is coming, it is an opportunity, perhaps, they are too underestimate me to wait, think about it, didn't only 20,000 come yesterday?" ”

Du Ran's face gradually showed a determined look, and said: "Okay, then don't care about anything else, Wu Qing, quickly go and gather all the elite cavalry, and wait for the general to personally lead it, kill out of Qinglong Pass, and fight to the death with the thief army!" ”

"I just want to ask, who wants to go with me?"

As soon as Du Ran's words fell, all the generals, including Wu Qing, stood up and said loudly: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

"The last will go!"

"The last will go!"

......

For a while, there were countless shouts in the lobby, and the morale climbed to the peak.

Du Ran laughed and said, "Okay, let's go, so morale, are you still afraid that the thief army will not be destroyed?" ”

..............

Two hours later.

Five thousand people came from outside the Qinglong Pass, pushing siege towers, trebuchets, pontoon bridges, and ladders, ready to attack the city.

There are indeed not many Tang troops under the city today, as the soldier said, there are only 50,000, and there are no cavalry, they are all infantry, composed of pikemen, shield soldiers, and archers, and from a distance, they are very rigorous.

When Du Ran and the others came to the city tower, the enemy's siege troops had already arrived at the city, Du Ran was not in a hurry to give the order to attack, his 75,000 elite cavalry was already on standby in the inner city, as long as he gave an order, he could kill out of the city and fight to the death with the enemy, but before that, he still wanted to consume the enemy's soldiers, rubbing the opponent's sharp energy, there was no need to rush up to fight, anyway, he had already made up his mind, he couldn't let the enemy leave today, the decisive battle out of the city was a foregone conclusion, and the fight would definitely be fought!

"Brothers, defend the city and never allow the enemy to cross this wall!"

Du Ran shouted: "Drums! ”

Knock knock...

The drums of war sounded, and all the soldiers were enthusiastic and ready to defend the city.

The enemy army was getting closer and closer, and Du Ran shouted: "Release the arrows." ”

Whoosh...

The battle to defend the city has begun!

In the distance under the city, in the midst of the military formation, Xu Maogong said with a smile: "This Du Ran is really not giving up, and he is still defending the city..." ”

Cheng Yanjin snorted: "Stinky old Dao, I see that your plan doesn't work, Du Ran doesn't even have the intention of coming out, you, it's in vain." I, five thousand soldiers, have fallen for you again. ”

"No, no, no..."

Xu Maogong said: "This time, Du Ran will definitely be fooled, as I expected, he will definitely come out today, I'm afraid the soldiers are ready, it's just that he wants to wait a little longer, and he doesn't want to come out so early." ”

"Why are you so confident?"

Cheng Yanjin asked.

Xu Maogong pretended to be mysterious and said, "Intuition." ”

"Cut, what intuition."

Cheng Yanjin said disdainfully: "Then I'll wait and see if what you say is accurate, if not, I won't listen to you in the future." ”

"Hehe, then let's wait and see."

Xu Maogong said contemptuously: "I have sent an order to go down, prepare to defend the formation everywhere, as long as Du Ran dares to come out, I will let him taste the power of my army's demon subduing gossip array..." ”

"Last time, he let him mess around, this time..."

The siege of 5,000 men did not last long, and two hours after the battle began, it was defeated, and everyone slowly retreated, losing most of the 5,000 men.

After all, it is the side of the siege, and it is a dangerous city like Qinglong Pass, and the difficulty coefficient is very large.

At the moment when the five thousand people retreated, the gate of Qinglong Pass, which had not been opened for a long time, opened at this moment, the suspension bridge was put down, and countless iron horses, black and pressed, galloped towards the outside of the city.

At this scene, Xu Maogong and Cheng Yanjin, who were watching and waiting outside the city, all came to the spirit.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's finally here!"

Cheng Yanjin shouted excitedly, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It's not easy to lure an opponent like Du Ran into a battle.

"Hahaha, stinky old man, it seems that you are still clever."

Cheng Yanjin said: "It's all up to you this time." ”

Xu Maogong seemed to be smiling, and said to a few heralds next to him: "Go down and set up a demon gossip array!" ”

"Order the soldiers in front to move closer to the flanks to avoid colliding with my large formation."

"Yes, yes."

All the heralds shouted in triumph, and at the same time, they all went on their missions, small flags in their hands, and ran quickly everywhere.
