Xu Maogong blinked and thought about it seriously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, since he left Chang'an, he has been thinking about a strategy to break the enemy, but unfortunately, after thinking all the way, he has no clue.

Xu Mao said fairly: "Du Ran, I know a lot, know the art of war, be cautious, do not fight uncertain battles, in the early years was the general of Xiliang, and now he is the marshal of the Southern Expedition, the vigilance in his heart should be stronger, he is here, there are 80,000 elite cavalry, 100,000 elite infantry, with our strength, not dominant, our cavalry is small, the field battle depends on chariots, to win this battle... Unless you deal with the opponent's cavalry first, you have a chance of winning. ”

Wei Chigong rolled his eyes and said, "Old Taoist, you have said so much, but you still haven't said a good plan, do you have any way?" ”

Cheng Yanjin sighed: "Alas, this battle is not easy to fight." ”

Wei Chigong said: "If it's not good to fight, you have to fight." ”

Xu Mao said fairly: "It's not impossible, but it's very dangerous." ”

"Du Ran has 80,000 cavalry, in his heart, he should be invincible in the field, fearless of all, we can set up a chariot formation in the field, lead him to the bait, if he leads the army to attack, he will definitely be ambushed."

"Good!"

Wei Chigong said: "Then where should this chariot array be placed?" ”

"I haven't thought about this matter yet, but I'll talk to you about it when I'm done."

Xu Maogong shook the feather fan and said with some embarrassment.

Wei Chigong smashed his mouth and joked: "Okay, don't shake your fan, I don't even have an idea..." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had never spoken, frowned and said, "I have always had some doubts in my heart, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Old man, eldest grandson, say whatever you have to say."

Cheng bites the golden road.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "You should know that the king of Xiliang has made full preparations for this southern expedition, with my understanding of Xiliang, there should be nearly 400,000 troops, and now there are only 180,000, so what about 200,000?" Could it be that King Xiliang only sent 180,000? ”

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's voice fell, Xu Maogong also said: "I also have some doubts about this matter, the person I sent to inquire about the news has not yet returned, and when I come back, I will know." ”

After discussing it all night, nothing came of it.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yanjin led 150,000 troops to the outside of Qinglong City, lined up the troops, and waved the flag and shouted.

Originally, he wanted to negotiate peace with Du Ran, but no one in the army supported him, so he had to follow Xu Maogong's suggestion, focus on attacking, and then negotiate peace with Xiliang after victory, and then grasp the initiative of the battle situation.

Qinglong closed the shut, looking at Cheng Biting Jin's arrangement, Du Ran chuckled and said: "This Xu Maogong has been famous for many years, and the battle formation is very methodical, even I can't see through it." ”

Wu Qing, the vanguard general, said: "Xu Maogong's best thing is in battle, and we should try to avoid conflicts with him. Beware of schemes. ”

Du Ran himself is a cautious person, and the vanguard generals under him are even more cautious, which makes the duo cooperate seamlessly, and be cautious in the midst of caution.

Du Ran laughed softly: "Even if I have 80,000 cavalry, I don't plan to fight them in the field, I have Qinglong Pass, there are more than 100,000 garrisons, why be afraid?" I don't believe that his formation can cross the wall three feet high. ”

"The general is wise."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Cheng Yanjin set up the battle array and motioned for Cheng Liang to go to challenge.

Cheng Liang carried the gossip Xuanhua axe in his hand, galloped out, came to the bottom of the city tower, raised his head and shouted: "Du Ran, shameless thief, if you have the courage, come down and pick me up three times." ”

Du Ran laughed: "This general is the marshal of the Southern Expedition, how can he be as brave as you?" ”

Wu Qing shouted: "If you have the courage, you will attack the city, and we will fight to the death on the city tower!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, nonsense!"

Cheng Liang carried the gossip Xuanhua axe on his shoulder, and said loudly: "If you have the courage, come down, don't hide in the city like a turtle with a shrunken head." ”

Next, Cheng Liang kept scolding, Du Ran and Wu Qing fought back sharply, but the result made Cheng Biting Jin, Xu Maogong and others helpless, Du Ran was like an iron fighter, no matter how he scolded, it was useless, he just didn't come out.

..........

At the same time as the battle of Qinglong Pass, there was also a battle in Yincheng, far away in Longxi.

Li Dejiang's reinforcements arrived one after another, and the siege equipment had also arrived, and after resting for three days, he launched an attack on Yincheng.

In terms of the number of soldiers, Li Dejiang has an absolute advantage, he can also ask Pingxing for help, and the head of the family surnamed Wang is always ready to send troops to support, recruiting troops all the time.

From this point of view, the future of Li Dejiang's forces is still very optimistic, unlike Luo Yi, who was besieged in Yincheng, the number of soldiers was fixed, and the number of young and strong people in Yincheng also declined sharply. was recruited by Feng Si before, but now he can't recruit anymore.

Early in the morning, the overwhelming black army under the silver city roared, countless ladders were carried by soldiers, followed by flying bridges, siege towers, etc., as well as Qiang cavalry, Li Dejiang's light cavalry.

Although it is a siege battle, it is also ready for field battles at any time, and once the city is broken, or the enemy army is out of the city, it can attack and gain the upper hand.

Han Wu had long been ready to defend the city, and he did not panic at this time, and calmly commanded the soldiers defending the city, supervising the transportation of rolling stones and giant trees, and dispatching archers...

In a short time, the drums of war sounded under the city, and a team of five thousand men rushed out, carrying siege equipment to the city wall.

"When the enemy comes, they all obey my orders, shoot with a bow and arrow at a hundred paces, fall stones at thirty paces, and prepare the guns and guns, and if you can't let the enemy's ladders be set up on the city wall, push them out for me!"

Han Wu walked quickly above the castle tower, constantly giving various orders.

The so-called gun is a special weapon for defending the city, when the enemy puts the ladder on the city tower, the soldiers can be in a group of two or three people, force the gun on the ladder, push it out. If this is successful, the enemy's ladder will roll back and fall hard to the bottom of the city, shattering to pieces.

"Rush...!"

The enemy army under the city is getting closer and closer, and the sound of war drums resounding through the heavens and the earth, and it can be seen from a distance that the army of black pressure is approaching the city wall.

Soon, at a distance of 100 steps, there were more than 20 cloud ladders rushing to the front, carried by hundreds of people, advancing rapidly.

Han Wu shouted violently in the city: "Archers prepare!" ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

When he landed, the archers who had been in ambush in the city all poked out their heads, and with bows and arrows in their hands, they shot at the city, like a shower of stars, overwhelming the sky.

Whoosh...

"Ahh

"Puff !!"

.........

The soldiers who ran at the front, without the cover of the sword and shield hand, or too late to cover, screamed and fell down more than a dozen, and the crimson blood sprayed on the ladder, staining the ladder red, and at the same time, the soldiers who came from behind quickly substituted for the ladder and continued to carry it.

On the whole, it did not have much impact on the entire siege team, but after two rounds of arrow rain, one hundred and ten people were also shot.

The bow and arrow continue to shoot ... However, the next thing was to shoot from the back, because the position close to the city wall was left to the soldiers defending the city, and the archers had to take a back seat.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy was within thirty paces of the city walls.

Han Wu looked stunned and shouted, "Brothers, throw the boulder!" ”

Thundered...

The boulder was thrown from a city tower several zhang high, and it was not difficult to cross a distance of thirty paces at all, this was a matter of angle, Han Wu was also experienced, and if he wanted to change to someone else, he would definitely not order to attack with a stone at thirty steps.
