Chapter 235: Siege (1)

Qinglong Pass. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, several hearty laughter came from the castle tower, like thunderous war drums, and spread throughout the entire front city.

There are two strong men standing in the city, one is slightly taller and the other is emaciated, the former is the guard of Qinglong Pass, named Sun Tan, and the latter is Feng Yu, the right vanguard under Li Daozong.

Feng Yu was also dressed in the costume of a Xiliang soldier, Xu was afraid of being recognized by others, so he dressed like a Xiliang soldier. Standing next to Sun Tan, it was like Sun Tan's personal soldiers.

"General Feng, originally I didn't have confidence in this battle, but now with your help, the stone in my heart has finally landed. This trick is really good, we only need less than a thousand people, we can make the enemy army unable to sleep all night, if you don't sleep, you won't have energy, you can't attack the city during the day, hahahaha... If this continues, I don't think they will be able to break through Qinglong City in their lifetime. ”

Feng Yu was calmer, laughed and then fell silent, and reminded: "But let's not be careless, Luo Tong's 50,000 troops, but the elite of the elite, he has incorporated Wang Buchao's 30,000 soldiers, and now he has 80,000 people in his hands, if you attack the city with all your might, you Qinglong Pass... It is also dangerous. ”

"What I'm worried about now is that he sleeps in the morning and will definitely come to attack the city in the afternoon, and you can hold it for a whole afternoon?"

Sun Tan said: "Then I will send someone to his camp now and continue to make trouble." ”

"No, you can't go during the day."

"Why? I think it's working well. ”

Feng Yu said: "During the day, they are on guard, and the camp is surrounded by a flat river, if they send cavalry to pursue, no matter how many people we send, they will be looking for death; At night it was different, at night they did not dare to pursue; So, let's stick with it all afternoon, stay until the evening, and then we'll go and make trouble. ”

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

Sun Tan said: "I will give orders to go down and defend the city with all my might, so that the soldiers are all ready, and I will fight them this afternoon." I don't believe it, no matter how we say that we have a dignified army of 15,000, can't we stop him? ”

"Also, my fifteen-thousand-strong army is not a recruit like Wang Buchao, but an elite who has followed me for many years, dare to fight and kill, and will definitely be able to hold out until dark."

Feng Yu said: "Then I'll wait for your good news." ”

Feng Yu was inconvenient to appear in the city for too long, and after discussing it, he turned around and went back to the city.

Time passed minute by minute, and gradually it was noon, and after resting all morning, Luo Tong's army was in better spirits, got up to bury the pot and cook, and prepared for the siege.

When it comes to siege, Luo Yi doesn't know anything, but in terms of tactics, he can give Luo Tong some advice.

After discussing the big tent of the Chinese army, Luo Tong and Cheng Yanjin unanimously approved Luo Yi's plan.

In general siege warfare, it is to besiege three and attack one, or to find a weak point and concentrate troops to attack one point, so that the city can be captured faster; The so-called siege of three and one is intended to make the enemy have the idea of survival, once he can't hold the city, he may escape, and at that time, he can break through the city in one fell swoop.

But Luo Yi doesn't think so, the enemy can come up with a way to make trouble, which shows that the soldiers defending the city are not stupid, and they also have the intention of defending the city, so forget about the siege of three and one, the enemy will not escape.

If you want to fight, you must fight to the death, and only when you are afraid of the enemy and crippled can you win.

Luo Yi's method is to simply surround the city on all sides, and at the same time launch an attack on Qinglong Pass, which has many benefits; First of all, there are not many enemy soldiers, just 15,000 people, blooming on all sides, it must take a lot of troops to defend, if it is evenly spread, one side of the city is less than 5,000 people, and Luo Tong's men and horses are enough to have 80,000, divided into four cities to attack, there are 20,000 without facing the city wall, 20,000 to 5,000, you don't have to think about it to know the result, it's just a matter of time, if even this can't break through the city faster, then there is absolutely no other way.

What's more, the army only had one afternoon, and if it could not be breached, it would have to retreat to the main camp, and in the evening there was a high risk that it would be endlessly disrupted by the enemy, and everything would return to the starting point.

"Okay, that's it."

Luo Tong made a decision, and took Luo Yi, Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Liang, Qin Huaiyu and others to stride out of the Chinese military tent, and went to gather soldiers to prepare to march into Qinglong City.

.........

Qinglong Pass.

Feng Yu went back to rest, and Sun Tan held on to the city alone.

For this battle, he is also very confident, with Feng Yu's help, the odds of victory have increased greatly, the enemy has many soldiers but can not attack day and night, and there is no way to start a battle in the morning, only in the afternoon there is time and conditions, Sun Tan firmly believes that it is no problem to defend the city for an afternoon.

Just when he was stunned, there was a slight sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when he looked up, he saw a wriggling black line appear in the sky, quickly approaching Qinglong City.

"It's finally here."

Sun Tan looked left and right, and said to the two lieutenant generals: "Tell me to go down, you are ready, you must defend the city for me!" ”

"Yes."

After a while, Luo Tong's army arrived at the city, of which 10,000 infantry and 5,000 elite cavalry stayed under the southern city, and the remaining 60,000 soldiers actually killed to the left and right sides respectively, apparently to return to the east and north gates.

The change in Luo Tongjun surprised Sun Tan, and he saw through Luo Tong's intention at once.

"It's not good, Luo Tong is going to attack my north and east respectively, come on, hurry, increase troops to the two northeast city towers. There is also the west, and a thousand troops are also transferred, so that the Tang army cannot be taken advantage of. ”

"Yes."

The three lieutenants quickly left and went to the barracks to transfer troops.

After instructing to defend the city, Sun Tan breathed a sigh of relief; Suddenly, he felt that this battle didn't seem to be so simple, the Tang army had a full eighty thousand, and Qinglong City only had fifteen thousand, and now Luo Tong came to attack together in several places, which was undoubtedly a weakening for the strength of the soldiers defending the city, and completely realized the benefits of the Tang army's large number of generals.

With one's own strengths, the enemy's shortcomings, how can there be no reason to be invincible.

"Siege!"

In the distance under the city, Luo Tong and Luo Yi personally sat here, and when the formation was opened, Luo Tong pulled out the long sword at his waist and decisively gave the order to attack Qinglong Pass.

Suddenly, I saw that in the two phalanxes on the left and right, countless soldiers came out carrying siege equipment, followed by a large group of infantry, sword and shield men and archers intertwined.

Since the boundary card level, the siege equipment is also quite abundant, ladders, trebuchets (general cannons), flying bridges, and so on. What satisfied Luo Yi and Luo Tong the most was the very huge general cannon, which was really a weapon for siege of the city.

Even Luo Yi didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty could have such a sharp weapon, and it was in the Jiepai Pass.

The general cannon is roughly similar to the trebuchet, but the ability is stronger than the trebuchet, his range is one mile, and he can throw three boulders of more than 100 catties at the same time, once it is thrown, everything that is smashed is destroyed.

As the soldier rushed forward with the ladder and the flying bridge, Luo Tong had the cannon pushed out.

Luo Daodao: "It's a pity, it's just such a one, if there are four, you can arrange one on each city wall, then within two hours, Qinglong Pass will definitely be breached." ”

Luo Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Big brother, this already surprises me very much, with this one, it is enough to break through the city pass, and more is useless." ”

"Besides, this is a general cannon, the power is huge, where to get more, you can be content."

It's also true, like a magic weapon like a general's cannon, even in Chang'an, there are not many, let alone Xiliang.

"It's a quarter of noon, and it's more than four hours until dark to collect our troops, and if nothing else, we should break through faster."

"That's not necessarily, the defenders on the east, north, and west sides are relatively weak, maybe Uncle Cheng and they will break the city a little faster than me."

........

During the conversation between the two, all the soldiers on the field had run out, the ladder that carried the ladder, the bridge that transported the flying bridge, soon reached the city, and the flying bridge was spread on the moat, and the soldiers carried the ladder across the river smoothly, and then put the ladder on the edge of the city tower and began to climb up.

Everything went in order, more smoothly than expected.

Although Sun Tan is a veteran, he does not have the wit of Wang Buchao, nor does he have that kind of martial arts, seeing the enemy swarming in, he can only urge the soldiers to defend the city tightly.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows quickly...!"

Sun Tan yelled.

Whoosh...

A large number of sharp arrows flew down from the city, like pouring rain, pouring down, shooting towards the Tang army under the city.

At this time, the soldiers who were climbing up also heard the movement upstairs, and before they had time to look up, they all raised their shields to resist the rain of arrows.

At this moment, by the moat, the archers responsible for covering the shield soldiers were also ready, and with the order of the commander, five hundred archers opened their bows and arrows and shot upstairs.

Whoosh...

"Ahh My leg. ”

I saw a soldier who was shot in the thigh and fell to the ground, and was dragged down by two soldiers behind him, and two other soldiers stepped forward to replace him.

"Ahh He's dead. ”

"Ahh

......

Puff puff...

A burst of frightened shouts exploded on the city tower, making the guards who were already a little afraid of the Tang Army even more worried, how could they resist the enemy's firepower so fiercely.

Sun Tan also asked his soldiers to bring a long knife, and he stood behind the wall pier with a long knife in his hand, cheering everyone up: "Don't be afraid, as long as we hold on until dark, hold on until dark, and victory will belong to us." ”
