There was endless fighting in the city and under the city, Shi Siming rode his horse and stood in the rear to look at the city, and when he learned that the soldiers and horses had begun to ascend the city and fought fiercely with the defenders at the head of the city, Shi Siming was excited. As long as www.biquge.info can attack the city, it means that the city is in sight. Finally, after successive failures, this hard bone is going to be taken down by himself.

"Tell Gao Xiuyan to attack, attack, attack, don't stop for a moment. No matter how many soldiers and horses are killed or wounded, Tongzhou must be taken. Shi Siming roared loudly, and the heralds around him immediately conveyed his order to the front line of the station.

Soon after, the news came back, Gao Xiuyan ordered people to return, has occupied a small piece of the city wall in the northeast corner, and is now using this place as a foothold, the army is constantly attacking the city, and will soon capture the city wall.

Hearing the news, Shi Siming burst out laughing. Shi Chaoyi, who was beside him, was also busy: "Congratulations to my father, I am finally going to take Tongzhou." ”

Shi Siming stroked his beard and said, "Yes." Chaoyi, you have to learn some lessons and skills. See, this Gao Xiuyan still has some skills, if this is you, it will definitely not work. I really hope that you can learn something from this battle, in the future my father and son will fight on the battlefield, if you can charge and kill the enemy for your father, why should I fake my hands? ”

Shi Chaoyi hurriedly said: "What the father taught is that the child must sum up the lessons from it, and he will share some of the burden for his father in the future." The child was ashamed. ”

After all, he is his own son, and he is his own seed no matter how incapable he is. Shi Siming was waiting for Wen Yan to comfort him a few words, when he suddenly heard the guards beside him exclaim: "What is that?" ”

Shi Siming frowned and said, "What are you shouting about?" Startled Ben Shuai. ”

The guard hurriedly confessed, pointed to the south and shouted, "Generalissimo, is the villain dazzled?" How can I see that something is wrong in the south. ”

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and they all burst into surprise.

"That's ...... It seems to be cavalry. ”

"It's the Tang Army, it's the cavalry of the Tang Army, coming at us."

Shi Siming hurriedly looked to the south, but saw that in the dark night of the south, the thunderous hooves roared, and countless torches were moving rapidly, and soon, the bonfires on the battlefield shone out the owners of those torches. It was the cavalry of the countless Tang Army galloping towards them, their armor and blades shining in the bonfire, their horses' hooves rising and falling, and the ground shaking like thunder.

"This ...... What's going on? Reinforcements from the Don Army? Shi Siming said dumbly.

"I'm afraid it's the cavalry in Tongzhou City, and this direction is coming from the south of Tongzhou City. Under the siege of our army, the Tang army actually dared to send cavalry out of the city to attack? Oh, my father is not good, I'm afraid they're coming for us. They knew that our army was attacking the city with all its might, and this was to attack the military camp in the rear. Shi Chaoyi said loudly.

Shi Siming oozed cold sweat on his body, his son's words were to the point, this group of cavalry is afraid that it is coming to the rear, this is to take advantage of the army's all-out attack on the rear of the barracks, at this moment the barracks are empty, so much grain and grass materials are in the camp, if they get their hands on it...... The consequences are unimaginable.

"Heck, there's one in the north." The guards exclaimed.

Following his direction, Shi Siming and the people around him saw that another cavalry in the north direction was also appearing in the dark field of vision. That was also the cavalry of the Don Army. The two cavalry rounded the battlefield from each flank and were rushing towards the main camp at a rapid pace. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves knocked on the ground, as if trampling on Shi Siming's heart. The cold sweat on Shi Siming's body began to seep out, and his pupils began to contract.

"Father...... How...... What to do? "Shi Chaoyi's teeth have already begun to fight. In the face of the swift arrival of the enemy cavalry, he was already frightened.

"He also ordered 30,000 infantry to step forward to block the attack, and ordered Gao Xiuyan to immediately send troops and horses back to help. What did he do with this bastard, 40,000 cavalry? Was cavalry also used as infantry to siege cities? What a fool! Shi Siming scolded.

He had forgotten that he had promised Gao Xiuyan that in addition to the 30,000 soldiers and horses left behind, the rest of the soldiers and horses would be deployed by Gao Xiuyan, so Gao Xiuyan transferred all the cavalry, firstly, to suppress the firepower of the city head with mounted archers, and secondly, when there were not enough siegers, these cavalry had to be used as infantry for the siege.

Shi Chaoyi and several generals divided the infantry of the 30,000 rear battalion into two and intercepted the cavalry on both sides. Using infantry to block the cavalry attack is tantamount to looking for death, but at this time they have no choice but to use infantry to delay time.

After the infantry fired two rounds of arrows in a hurry, the two cavalry of the Shence Army slapped up like a rushing wave. A single wave broke up the hastily formed spear line of the rebel infantry. Although hundreds of cavalry were killed and wounded, the cavalry that followed up successfully interspersed and divided the infantry formation, and a completely unequal battle followed.

This is the cavalry of the 20,000 Shence army led by Liu Jun, and the reason why there are only 40,000 Shence troops defending the city at the head of the city is because the 20,000 cavalry have long been assembled in the squares in the south and north of the city. Liu Jun and his cavalry lieutenants each led a soldier and horse, waiting for the rebels to attack the city to dig their lair. This was also a small plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, if the enemy army besieging the city did not retreat, they destroyed the rebels' camp, burned their grain and grass, and then returned to outflank the back road of the besieging rebels. After all, it is not so easy to occupy the city wall, as long as the Shence army defends the city for an hour, the situation will be completely reversed.

When the rear was fiercely fighting, Gao Xiuyan under the city received a report, and when he looked back at the battle situation in the rear, he couldn't help but be terrified. Wang Yuan's tactics were really out of nowhere, and he actually risked the destruction of the city again, and divided the cavalry to sneak attack the rear at this time, which was indeed a heart-wrenching move. Now we are faced with a dilemma, whether to send troops back to the rear, or to storm and take Tongzhou? It's a really hard choice.

"General Gao, Marshal Shi has an order, ordering you to transfer 40,000 cavalry back to help, and the rear will be attacked by the Tang army. If the camp was attacked by the Tang army, all the food and supplies would be gone. A rebel herald came on horseback and quickly conveyed Shi Siming's order.

Gao Xiuyan frowned, turned around to look at his own soldiers and horses who were really swarming to attack the city, and then looked at the battle situation in the rear, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "You go and tell Marshal Shi that if you send 40,000 soldiers and horses back to help, Tongzhou will not be able to be captured." If the supplies, grain and grass are destroyed, we can still get them, but this opportunity is once in a lifetime. Please Marshal Shi immediately move closer to me and abandon the camp. Just took advantage of the lack of troops of the Tang army to take Tongzhou in one fell swoop. ”

The herald quickly went back to Shi Siming. Turning around, Gao Xiuyan ordered in a loud voice: "Give me a storm, ride an archer, and shoot an arrow at the head of the city." ”

"But general, there are our people in the city and in the city, so this arrow has to be shot at our own people." A general reminded.

"It doesn't matter so much, we die one, they die one, or we earn it. We have a lot of people. The Tang army has a total of more than 60,000 people, and 20,000 cavalry have already left the city, how many can they have left? Shoot me an arrow. ”

The generals didn't dare to say more, they saw that Gao Xiuyan's eyes were red, and General Gao was afraid that he was about to go crazy.

The rebel cavalry archers violated the rules of the battlefield and began to fire arrows at the head of the city, regardless of the mixing of their own siege soldiers and horses. For a while, arrows rained down, and many soldiers were killed and wounded up and down the city.

At the head of the city, Wang Yuan, who witnessed this scene, scolded angrily: "The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, how can these people who have lost their humanity win the world." ”

Du Fu nodded and said: "Yes, if such a person wins the world, the people don't want to live." Marshal Wang, I want to kill the enemy, the situation is so critical, your wife is fighting bloodily, and I can only do this, it is useless, please allow me to go up to the city wall to kill the enemy. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "You can't go, the situation is not critical enough that Brother Du needs to kill the enemy, and soon they will be defeated." ”

Du Fu looked at the chaos on the head of the city, and saw that more and more rebel soldiers appeared on the city tower, his own soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, and the rebels had occupied many sections of the city wall, and frowned: "I'm afraid it's not optimistic." Although the cavalry was very clever in this move, the soldiers and horses besieging the city might not withdraw to the rescue, and when the cavalry attacked the opponent's camp, the city could not be saved. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "It's not that easy, Brother Du, to open your eyes." Liu Dehai, open the East City Gate immediately, it's time for us to show the last hole card. ”

Liu Dehai promised loudly and flew to the city. Du Fu was surprised: "You want to open the East City Gate?" Open the city gates at this time? ”

Wang Yuan smiled but did not answer, squinting at Liu Jun's cavalry in the distance cross-cutting the enemy's remaining infantry, quickly annihilating them. Nodding slightly, he smiled and said: "Liu Jun is becoming more and more capable, and the cavalry battle formation is becoming more and more proficient, it seems that he can take charge of himself and let him lead the troops to do something alone." ”

Du Fu was in a hurry, chasing after him to ask Wang Yuan why he opened the city gate, and suddenly heard that the ground below the city tower seemed to be shaking, and then a strange loud hissing sound resounded in his ears. Wang Yuan said in a deep voice: "It's out!" ”

"What's coming out?" Du Fu didn't know why.

"Look under the gates." Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed. Du Fu looked over, and suddenly his eyes were wide and speechless, but he saw that under the city gate, a moving hill was slowly leaving the city. The proboscis is slightly flicked, the fangs are skewed, and the body is covered in black spiked armor, like a moving fortress.

"It's ...... Elephant? ”

"They are my elephant cavalry, No, the first is their leader, and I have nicknamed him the Gestapo. The name comes from this. Wang Yuan smiled.
