Chapter 20 3 Small tricks
Everger's strategy was never to dig tunnels from as far away as the barracks, and the daytime attack was to cover the tunnels under the city. A large number of soldiers gathered under the city but there were not enough siege equipment, the existence of a large number of soldiers was to cover a small number of engineering soldiers to start the first step of the excavation work, and the reason why the Yaji army did not take away the bodies of the war dead as usual when they retreated in the evening was to let the corpses cover the excavated passage! If they dug into the walls in the middle of the night, the Yaggi army should be ambushing nearby!
Just when Li Tianhao wanted to understand this layer, the engineering troops of the Yaji Army had already dug through the tunnel, and the first batch of Yaji Army had already jumped out of the tunnel.
Jimda, who was in charge of the guard, was the first to encounter this sudden situation, and although there were only twenty men at hand, Jimda still blocked the exit in time - after all, the Yaji army could only come out one at a time, and the fate of being besieged by twenty men was self-evident.
But soon there was a second, the third opening, as the number of soldiers entering the city increased, Jimda's men were already unable to parry, the commander of the Yaki army, Balima entangled Jimda, Barima is a famous brave man in the Yaki army, Jimda and he fought evenly, but his soldiers have been surrounded by the Yaki army, the Yaki army is not in love with war, their primary purpose is to open the city gate. At the critical moment, Li Tianhao arrived with a long sword.
Li Tianhao came in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to put on his armor, let alone ride a horse. However, without the heavy armor restrictions, Li Tianhao's body technique was faster than before, and the sword in his hand was faster than his body technique. Before the Yaki soldiers in front of him could parry, they were stabbed through the throat by the fast sword. Li Tianhao sprinted all the way, stabbing as he ran. Killed a dozen Yaki soldiers along the way, and used the sword in his hand to cut off Balimour's scimitar. Shouted: "Jimda! I'm here to hold on to it, you go and gather people! Let Xenas guard the gates, and the others will come here! ”
While speaking, Li Tianhao had already fought with Barimo for more than ten moves, Barimo was forced to retreat again and again, Jimda took the opportunity to dodge out of the circle, and said while running: "Boss, you can hold on, I'll be back soon." ”
At this time, Jimda's men had all been killed, and nearly seventy Yaqi soldiers surrounded Li Tianhao, and the soldiers in the tunnel continued to pour out. Li Tianhao saw that the situation was not good. Tightened in his hands, the long sword attacked again and again, Barimo couldn't parry, if it weren't for the soldiers' moves, I am afraid that he would have been slaughtered by Li Tianhao a long time ago. In the midst of the stalemate, a figure rushed into the Yaki army, and with a swing of his giant sword, he split the three soldiers in two with a single sword.
"With I, Xenas, here, your Yaji Army will be in vain, even if there are thousands of troops!" As he snorted, Xenas said, "Today is your night of great murder, and whoever climbs up will not want to live." Don't die, just come up! ”
Being rushed by Xenas like this, the Yaki soldiers were suddenly in chaos, and Li Tianhao took this opportunity to stab Barimo in the right wrist with a sword, and Barimo was in pain in his hand. The scimitar hit the ground suddenly. Li Tianhao didn't relax even more, and when he took a step forward, the long sword had already penetrated his throat! Li Tianhao grabbed Balimo's helmet with his left hand. As soon as the right hand was flipped over, the entire head was cut off. He raised his head and shouted, "I have taken off the head of the enemy general!" ”
"Grab the money. This head was supposed to be mine! With a loud shout, Xenas picked up his greatsword and slashed down all the nearby Yaki soldiers, "You bastards. Delay Lao Tzu to get rich! Hack you, hack you! ”
Li Tianhao said while fighting: "Didn't you let you guard the city gate, why did you come here?" ”
"It's enough to have Jimda at the gates, and Lord Muller has gone up to defend the city, don't worry."
The bravery of the two completely overwhelmed the Yaji army, and the soldiers retreated one after another, but the soldiers behind were still drilling out of the tunnel, and now it was impossible to retreat to the tunnel. Soon, there were only three or five soldiers left outside the tunnel entrance who were still resisting. At this time, Jamo led a hundred spearmen and a hundred shieldmen to rush over, and the spearmen lined up and pushed forward, instantly stabbing the remaining Yaki soldiers into sugar gourds. The shield-bearer sealed the entrance to the tunnel, untied the skin from his waist, poured the tung oil inside into the tunnel, and lit a fire. Immediately, screams rang out from the tunnel.
At this time, the battle reports came one after another, and Everger's troops wanted to take the opportunity to touch the city, and before they were discovered, nearly a hundred men had climbed up, but they had been annihilated by Muller, and at this moment a fierce battle was being fought at the head of the city; The troops at the gates of the city have been wiped out by Jimda.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Li Tianhao ordered gravel and sand to be poured into the tunnel entrance, and then cut off the heads of all the Yaji Army soldiers who had died in battle, and ran up to the city with these heads. Li Tianhao stood at the head of the city and shouted, "Lord Ai Fujie, listen! I've seen through your little tricks! Now all the soldiers in your army who have entered the city have been beheaded by me! Go back and bury these heads! ”
After saying that, Li Tianhao gave an order, and hundreds of heads were thrown down from the city, and the Yaji army under the city was in an uproar. Li Tianhao stood at the head of the city and said: "Your strategy has failed, and if you continue to fight, it will only increase casualties, won't you retreat?" ”
Sure enough, after Li Tianhao said this, the Yaji army under the city began to quiet down, and it didn't take long for the Yaji army to begin to retreat as a whole.
"Do you want to pursue?" Xenas only killed a bunch of soldiers in this battle, and he was a little dissatisfied.
"No, we are in a hurry tonight, and it will not end well if we act reluctantly. The order was to strengthen the vigilance, and the rest of the people seized the time to rest, and tomorrow the Yaji Army didn't know what tricks to play. Li Tianhao said and turned away.
Xenas looked at the distant Yagijun and sighed: "It's a pity, I wanted to let you see my unique night vision ability, but it seems that tomorrow there will be nothing to do with me." ”
For the next five days, the Yaqui Army did not take an active offensive posture. According to the report of the spies dispatched, the Yaji Army was assembling siege weapons transported from the rear, so Li Tianhao and the others were able to take a breath. After another three days, there was still no movement outside the city, but a new situation appeared in the city.
In the afternoon of this day, a horse came from outside the city of Helu, and immediately sat two people, Wei Song and Alam, both of whom were covered in dust and blood, and both were wounded, and Wei Song was even more unconscious. The sergeant guarding the door hurriedly let the two in, and the two rode straight to the council hall. They brought the shocking news: the Yaqui Army had infiltrated the Dils Mountains!
