Don't look at Pharmacist Li and the soldiers of the Pingtang Kingdom who fought for a long time, but only filled in a section of the moat, and it has not been completely filled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But Commander Xiao Liu nodded and recognized the bravery of the soldiers of the Pingtang Kingdom.

This Fancheng is close to the big river Jindu River, the water source is abundant, so the moat dug is also quite wide, there are dozens of steps wide, although the water potential is in the dry period of spring, but it is still vast. Commander Xiao Liu personally took a long bamboo pole last night to measure, the shallow place is three feet deep, and the depth of the river is close to a battle deep.

Seeing that the first battle was unfavorable, Pharmacist Li couldn't even fill in a section of the moat, and his face suddenly became a little ugly, but he was also prepared, and immediately sent a second group of siege soldiers.

"General Li, the regimental commander has an order to suspend the siege. The whole army was put on alert, and began to set up camp, and today there is a truce. "The herald of the garrison regiment sent the order of Commander Xiao Liu in time.

When Pharmacist Li heard this, he had no choice but to stop the offensive and start cleaning up the camp.

This time, 100,000 soldiers of the Pingtang Kingdom camped in the northwest corner of Fancheng, and the Dingbei garrison was stationed further north. The two camps were one after another, completely encircling the northwest corner of Fancheng.

In the evening, the head of Xiao Liu arranged for Xu Shiji to work overnight, and called Pharmacist Li to discuss how to attack the city.

For example, today's soldiers and horses from all walks of life are attacking the city, which is nothing more than a few tricks, one is to surround the city and cut off the grain and grass in the city first. Second, he began to use siege equipment to fight with the defenders at the head of the city, and consumed the rolling wood, stones, fire oil and other materials used to defend the city in the city. Then he began to try to climb the city, and if he still couldn't conquer it, he began to use the tricks of digging tunnels, piling up mountains, and so on, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.

If the strength far exceeds the defenders in the city, or the combat power absolutely crushes the defenders in the city, the general will directly choose to attack the city. When the Tuliao people attacked and destroyed Zhongshen City, they learned that the old marshal was not there, and took advantage of the low morale of the defenders in the city to attack the city head in one fell swoop.

Pharmacist Li can't get out of this trap for the time being, and he can't come up with any new tricks.

These siege tactics all have a characteristic, that is, the consumption of ordinary soldiers is extremely high. However, it is popular in the world that "mercy does not command the soldiers", and when it comes to fighting, the generals do not have to treat the soldiers as human beings, and they can just consume them hard. In troubled times, ordinary people are alive, but it is better to live than to die, or not to die well.

The next day, Pharmacist Li still led the soldiers of the Pingtang State and began to attack the city as usual.

The elite of the 30,000 Dingbei garrison regiment pressed the formation behind, and the defenders of Fancheng also completely gave up the idea of going out of the city to fight in the field, and honestly defended the city wall.

But no one noticed that Li Deyi did not appear in the army today.

The siege lasted until noon, and the soldiers of the Pingtang Kingdom suspended the siege and began to eat.

Seeing the smoke rising outside, the defenders in Fancheng also hurried to start cooking and eating.

At the head of Fancheng City, a soldier was eating rice with a cake in one hand and pickles in the other, when suddenly he felt a dark shadow drifting by. He suddenly looked up into the air, and suddenly opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "What a big eagle!" ”

Outside the city, the soldiers of the Pingtang Kingdom discovered the giant eagle hovering in the sky almost at the same time, and they all looked up and watched.

Captain Xiao Liu also raised his head and looked at the giant eagle, but if you look closely, you will find that his expression is a little nervous.

The giant eagle hovered over Fancheng for a moment, then suddenly rushed into the clouds and disappeared.

The general of Fancheng is called Xiahou Ren, who is a master of the five general realms, and the general of the Xiahou valve of the Northern Hebei Province. This time, the Tuliao Emperor divided the cities under his command to the family clans, and the Xiahou family happened to be assigned to this Fancheng. As for the titular supreme leader of the Ashina family, he had long since fallen into the gentle township and ignored anything.

Fancheng is a big city, with millions of people, facing water in the southeast and south, drinking water and digging ditches in the north and west, and building a wide moat to protect the city gates on both sides.

After this Xiahou Ren guard came to Fancheng, he dug deep into the moat, strengthened the city defense, and ran Fancheng like an iron bucket. Not only that, but he also mobilized the people in the city, saying that the garrison was extremely cruel, and every time a city was broken, it would be slaughtered to vent his anger. Encourage the ignorant people in the city to go up to the city wall to help them defend the city to the death.

Xiahou Ren was patrolling back and forth at the head of the city, and when he heard the loud noise of the soldiers at the head of the city, he immediately came up to stop drinking.

"General, look at that giant eagle! It's about to rush into the clouds and disappear! The villain has lived for thirty years, and it is the first time he has seen such a big giant eagle! The defenders of the city hurriedly kowtowed.

When Xia Houren heard this, he raised his head sharply and looked at the giant eagle that was flying rapidly towards the clouds. He took one look at it, felt that something was wrong, and immediately summoned his divine powers.

At this time, the giant eagle had already half rushed into the clouds, and Xia Houren saw in a trance that there seemed to be a figure above the giant eagle. "How is this possible?!" Xia Houren subconsciously shook his head, put his overly frightening thoughts behind him, and continued to stare cautiously outside the city.

After the giant eagle disappeared into the clouds, with the ability of Captain Xiao Liu, he could no longer see clearly, so he could only give up.

By the end of the day, Pharmacist Li had successfully led his soldiers and horses to fill in a section of the moat seven or eight steps wide on the left and right, which could lead directly to the city. Seeing that the purpose of today's operation had been achieved, Regiment Commander Xiao Liu immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

After Pharmacist Li withdrew, Head Xiao Liu personally came to him and whispered some orders.

When Pharmacist Li heard this, he was overjoyed, and lowered his voice and said, "The last general obeys the order!" ”

After Xiao Liu arranged the task for Pharmacist Li, he immediately rushed back to the camp. "Hold the camp gate, no one is allowed to trespass without my military order! Kill the violators! ”

After a while, Wang Zhuangbiao returned to the camp with Li Deyi, and the head of Xiao Liu personally met the senior brother at the gate of the camp, and the three of them hurried back to the camp tent.

"How? What is the situation in the city? Head Liu asked.

"That Xiahou Ren really has two shots, and the city is clearly arranged with four bed crossbows, as well as two in the dark. He had two piles of stones at the head of the city above the gate hole. If I had gone straight to the hole in the city gate as I had done before, and placed the iron egg, I would have been stoned to death by the stone he had fallen from the sky. Li Deyi wiped his frozen face and said in a trembling voice.

At this time, it was not long after the beginning of spring, and although the ground had warmed up, the sky was still extremely cold. Li Deyi relied on his self-made "gliding flying wings" to reconnoiter in the air for a while, and his face was already frozen. During the previous test flight, Li Deyi did not fly so high, so he was unprepared and was already frozen.

"Well, this Xiahou Ren is really extremely cautious. You go back and rest first, and tonight you will see if he dares to go out of the city. Xiao Liu, the head of the group, said seriously with a straight face.

It turned out that when Pharmacist Li led his troops to fill the moat, Commander Xiao Liu saw the Fan Cheng guards walking back and forth at the head of the city, but his eyes kept staring at the section of the moat that was filled.

Seeing this situation, Commander Xiao Liu decided to hide 500 square meters of Tang State archers outside tonight as ambush soldiers, to see if he could ambush this Fan City to defend the future and dig up the barrage.

According to the analysis of the situation reported by the detective cavalry, this Fancheng guard Xia Houren is a strict person and never lets go of any details. This kind of person is very serious and difficult to deal with, but often does not want to suffer in the details.

Therefore, today Pharmacist Li forcibly filled in a section of the moat, and when he saw it in his eyes, he must be anxious in his heart, and he will definitely take advantage of the night to try to dig up the barrage. Commander Xiao Liu was in the city, and he had already seen Xiahouren's expression clearly.

At night, in the second half of the night, a small side door suddenly opened to the west of Fancheng, which only allowed one person to pass through, and a team of more than 300 soldiers came out of it one after another.

As soon as the soldiers came out, they went straight to the section of the moat that had been filled in to the west, trying to dig a hole and let the water wash away the earth.

A group of soldiers hurried to start digging, and when they were sweating profusely, suddenly, a sound of arrows sounded in the quiet night sky! Then hundreds of torches were lit, and a rain of arrows rained down.

"Close the door immediately." Xiahou Ren coldly ordered at the head of the city, "Sure enough, as the general expected, the Dingbei garrison has set up an ambush outside the city. ”

Outside the city, Commander Xiao Liu stood up from the darkness and said coldly: "This Xiahou Ren is quite witty, and he actually only sent a small group of soldiers and horses to test it. ”

Li Deyi clapped his hands fiercely: "This old fox is so cunning!" ”

"It's okay, in this way, tomorrow we can fill in the river and attack the city wall at the same time, and the advantage is still on our side." Commander Xiao Liu immediately ordered the troops to be collected, the prisoners were captured, and the killed enemy soldiers were burned on the spot.

Now that it is spring, the temperature is rising, and if the corpses are allowed to storm the wilderness, it is very easy to cause a major epidemic.

Xia Houren saw the fire burning outside in the city, squinted his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The next day, Xu Shiji led the team to attack the city. Commander Xiao Liu specially instructed before the war that there was no need to let the soldiers try to climb the city, the losses were too great and the gains outweighed the losses.

Xu Shiji said in his mouth: "The head of the regiment is kind, but he doesn't think so. "The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, Xu Shiji secretly thought that the commander of the garrison regiment was a little too merciful. He didn't dare to use that word, "the kindness of a woman."

Commander Xiao Liu was supervising the battle under the city, but his eyes were fixed on the air, as if he was waiting for something.

After a while, the figure of the giant eagle appeared in the air again, and it flew towards Fancheng rapidly, hovering over it for a long time.

Xia Houren saw that the figure of this giant eagle appeared in the sky again today, and immediately used his divine eyes to look at this giant eagle carefully.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and Xia Houren couldn't believe what he was seeing! He clearly saw that there was a rare figure under the giant eagle!

But by the time he tried to see it again, the giant eagle had already hovered into the sky, hid in the clouds again, and disappeared.

Commander Xiao Liu watched below, and when he saw the "giant eagle" disappearing in the air, he immediately withdrew his troops.

Xu Shiji was supposed to perform well, but he could only withdraw the order.

At this time, it was not yet noon, but the head of Xiao Liu ordered the army to be on alert and no longer attack the city today.

The two generals Li Yaoshi and Xu Shiji don't know why, so they can only listen to the order honestly and take a break.

The two of them now feel that it is extremely easy to fight with the Dingbei garrison regiment, and even the siege battle is so leisurely.

After the head of Xiao Liu withdrew his soldiers and horses, as he did yesterday, he immediately asked Wang Zhuangbiao to lead people to martial law camps and personally pick up his junior brother to return from the mountains.

This time, Li Deyi walked out of the mountain from head to toe, wrapped tightly all over his body, carrying the big package covered by the black cloth.

Commander Xiao Liu brought his junior brother into the camp and immediately asked, "How is it?" ”

"I can do it next time, I have thoroughly seen the layout of the entire Fancheng, and when the time comes, after throwing the iron eggs, I can land outside the city smoothly and enter the city together." Li Deyi rubbed his frozen face and said.

"Okay, tomorrow I will let Pharmacist Li lead the soldiers and horses to attack the city with all his strength to create opportunities for you." Head Xiao Liu made up his mind decisively.

After defending the city for the past few days, Xiahouren, the defender of Fancheng, felt in his heart that the garrison regiment's siege battle was nothing more than that, and it didn't look as powerful as it was rumored. But he still refused to relax for half a minute, and carefully inspected all the places in the city, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After dawn, Commander Xiao Liu issued a military order, skip breakfast today, start attacking the city directly, and have dinner in Fancheng!

The two generals Li Yaoshi and Xu Shiji took turns to attack Fancheng, and they must climb to the top of the city! (To be continued.) )
