"Help......

Outside the city, countless Jin soldiers who were close to the city wall were hit by the altar that was thrown down, and then splashed with an unknown liquid, and then with the torches falling from the city, the whole person was instantly ignited.

Under the city, it was burned into a sea of fire in an instant.

"Open the gates!"

With the barrier of the fire, Luo Cheng gave an order, and the city gate was directly ajar.

Seeing more than a dozen people who were still stunned, Luo Cheng shouted: "Enter the city!" ”

More than a dozen people were awakened by Luo Cheng's voice, and they ran towards the city with their legs drawn, and almost in an instant, more than a dozen of them had already entered the city.

And Xiong Kuohai and Luo Cheng, who had already been guarding the city gate, joined forces and immediately closed the city gate and locked it with iron.

More than a dozen people who survived the catastrophe looked at Luo Cheng's face, bowed down and bowed, "Thank you, General." ”

"You are for me, after fighting to the death, it should be me who thank you." Luo Cheng helped up the army and solemnly saluted more than a dozen people.

The screams outside the city continued, and in order to save people, they took out all the pine oil in stock and threw it under the city.

Originally, if there was nothing on the ground, even if it really burned, it could only block the footsteps of the Jin army, and if there were really soldiers who did not want to die, they could still break through the wall of fire.

But the bad thing is that the city is full of Jin soldiers, and it just so happens that they want to capture the city gate, and it is almost crowded, so the Jin army is tragic.

And after a big battle, the corpses under the city were already piled up, and with the pine oil, almost the entire city wall was a sea of fire.

The smell of meat fills the air.

"Damn it!"

Yan Rou under the city looked at the sea of fire in front of him, not knowing whether his insult was for the soldiers under the city, or because he failed to take the opportunity to control the city gate, or both.

"Withdraw!"

Yan Rou's face was gloomy, continuing to attack would be a siege, they did not carry siege tools on this trip, and it was too late, no longer suitable for fighting, no longer to take care of the soldiers who were still screaming under the city, and turned away.

In the city, after a simple wash, everyone met in the camp of Luo Cheng in the city.

"This battle is my fault." On the main seat, Luo Cheng looked at everyone, a cold face seemed to have a layer of frost, and said slowly.

"You can't blame the general for this." The commander of the original righteous army hurriedly got up, as if to explain to Luo Cheng, and said: "There is not enough food and grass in the city, and the general's approach is also for the army in the city." ”

Tian Yu on the side also said: "General Luo, I also have some understanding of the recent situation in the city, and I really can't complain about the general." ”

In fact, if they retreated immediately after the raid on the Karasuma camp, they would have been able to retreat with their whole body, but because Luo Cheng chose to carry the grain and grass of the Karasuma camp, he was chased and killed by Yan Rou and paid a lot of casualties.

Although their results were abundant, these casualties could have been avoided.

The reason why he asked about grain and grass in the Karasuma camp and then carried it was because the grain and grass in the city were scarce and no longer enough to support their consumption.

According to Luo Cheng's initial consideration, there were only two days of grain and grass left in the city, and it was already a thrifty food and clothing, but when Tian Yu and the others came, they were lightly armed, and I am afraid that the food left in the city was only enough for the army to eat.

This is also the reason why he took the risk of emptying the Karasuma camp.

"The general has no fault in this battle, if there is no grain and grass in the city, the city will be broken only overnight."

"Okay, I'll personally write to the king about the details of this battle, and then, let's discuss how to repel the combined forces of Karasuma and the Jin army." Luo Cheng stopped everyone from discussing this topic again.

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped talking, and then they all looked at Tian Yu.

Tian Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, he had just arrived here, what could he do to plan Yan Rou, besides, Yan Rou was not such an easy person to deal with, and the plan set up in a hurry was probably easy for him to detect.

"Yu just arrived in the city, and he still doesn't know the situation on both sides, so I would like to ask General Luo to give a brief explanation." Tian Yu bowed to Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "There are originally 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, including 10,000 foot soldiers, 20,000 cavalry, plus the 20,000 soldiers and horses you brought, a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"And outside the city, even if it is attacked by us, the casualties caused are limited, and so far, the Jin army and the Karasuma coalition army are about 90,000."

Tian Yu listened to Luo Cheng's words, stroked his beard and said: "The difference in strength is not big, but it is indeed difficult to defeat the coalition army in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes, it's easy to defeat them, but it's hard to defeat them." Luo Cheng listened to Tian Yu's words and said with a frown.

"If you want me to say, what kind of coalition army does he care about tomorrow, just charge directly into battle, can they still stop the iron cavalry of the Tang Kingdom?" Xiong Kuohai was most tired of this kind of meeting, and after listening to Luo Cheng's words, he said directly impatiently.

Tian Yu and the others have been with Xiong Kuohai for a long time, and when they heard Xiong Kuohai's words, they could only shake their heads and smile.

"General Xiong, don't be impatient." Tian Yu persuaded: "Of course, they can't stop the iron cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, but our purpose is to retreat from the enemy. ”

"Okay, you can decide what to do." Xiong Kuohai listened to Tian Yu's words, waved his hand, and stopped talking.

Tian Yu pondered for a while and said: "The enemy has 100,000, and with our 50,000 soldiers and horses alone, it is difficult to destroy them in a short time in a head-on confrontation. ”

"Yes, and the food in the city! It's not much, it's enough for five days at most. Luo Cheng on the side interjected.

"In this way, you can only use a meter." Tian Yu let out a long breath and said in a condensed voice: "But I'm afraid this Yan Rou is not easy to deal with." ”

Although they have not fought each other in the real sense, it can be seen from Yan Rou's decisive breakthrough to the east that he still has a unique understanding of the overall situation.

"If you want to wipe out these 100,000 people, there are only two methods, water attack or fire attack, there is no water vein near Xu Wu, and water attack cannot be implemented, so you can only use fire attack."

Tian Yu said in a deep voice: "And as long as we can inflict heavy losses on the Karasuma Department, Qiu Liju will definitely withdraw his troops, so all that remains is the contest between us and the Jin army." ”

"It's feasible for the country to let this plan go, but how should we use fire attack?" Luo Cheng listened to Tian Yu's plan, and could only say that the idea was very good, but it was difficult for Qiao women to cook without rice, and they had no room for planning at all.

Tian Yu has lived in Youzhou, and he knows the topography of Youbeiping very well, and he doesn't even have a map, and said: "There is a mountain ten miles east of Xu Wucheng, there is a canyon in the mountain, and the woods in the valley are dense, so it is a good location to set up an ambush. ”

Luo Wei was born and raised in Youbeiping, and he was naturally very familiar with the geographical environment of Youbeiping, and when he heard Tian Yu's words, he said: "It's good here, the mountains and forests are dense, but how do we lead them there?" ”
