Chapter Seventy-Seven: Mutual Use

Just when the attack and defense of the West City were at their most intense, Zhang Qiang, the general guarding the East City, sent a thousand troops to support.

It turned out that Zhang Qiang, who was guarding Dongcheng, had been on guard, but he didn't see an enemy army appear. At this time, there were battles on the three city walls, but the west city was the most fierce.

Zhang Qiang knew that Xicheng was the main city wall of the Liang army, and he knew that the battle was fierce when he heard the sound. He has as many defenders here as there is Xin Wen, isn't it a waste to be idle here?

Zhang Qiang, as the guard of Dongcheng, did not dare to leave in person. Even if the enemy army does not appear, but there are different strategies on the battlefield, who knows what will happen suddenly?

Therefore, Zhang Qiang asked his subordinates to lead a thousand troops to Xicheng to support, and by the way, to investigate the situation in Xicheng.

In other words, not only Zhang Qiang in Dongcheng felt wrong, but even Dong Ren, the general of Nancheng, and Gong Chen, the general of Beicheng, also felt wrong. The killing in Xicheng was fierce, and they must have known that the battle in Xicheng was fierce, but the fighting here was tepid. The two of them felt that their idle eggs hurt, but Xicheng didn't know if he could hold it.

Something has to be done! The two generals thought of going together.

As a result, Gong Chen of Beicheng decided to send an army of 500 people to support Xicheng.

The 500 men from the northern city had just arrived in the western city, and the 500 men from the southern city had soon arrived in the western city, and the three gates had supported an army of 2,000 men.

Xin Wen, the defender of Xicheng, originally had 2,500 troops to defend the city, plus a reserve army for a total of 5,000 troops. Right now. With the support of 2,000 men, the defending army of 7,000 men swelled at once, which was more than enough to block the attack of Suhur's army.

The reserve force is large, and Xin Wen is no longer worried about not being able to hold the West City.

However, Xin Wen did not send all the troops up, but adhered to the original principles. He left only more than 2,000 men at the location of the battlements, and most of the army hunted the Liang soldiers who rushed up behind the battlements.

When a Liang soldier came up, he was hunted down by the waiting Sui army, and the Sui army would never let them escape.

As the sun sets, the blood on the ground of the city walls and the battlements is particularly red, as if to tell the people how fierce the fighting here is.

The Liang army was exhausted and suffered heavy casualties.

Su Hu'er looked at the afterglow of the setting sun and knew that today's battle was over.

Looking from afar, the sparse Sui army on Yuzhang City, they actually held such a strong offensive, very tenacious!

Su Hu'er sneered a little in her heart, being able to defend Yuzhang City today does not mean that she can defend it tomorrow. Hmph, I won't play with you anymore tomorrow, today is 10,000 troops attacking the city, tomorrow, hehe, 30,000 troops attacking the city I don't believe you can hold it.

War is a battle of wits and strength, the Sui army in Yuzhang City is playing tricks, trying to hide its strength, and similarly, Su Hu'er, the general of the Liang army, is also playing with his heart.

Today's attack is just a test, and another purpose is to consume some of the Sui troops defending the city first.

Now that the goal of a qiē has been achieved, the next step is to play the real thing.

Su Hu'er had already sent the situation to Xiao Miao, and he planned to take Yuzhang City in one go, and then report to Xiao Miao.

The Liang army Mingjin withdrew its troops, and more than 10,000 troops retreated in an uproar, and today's battle was finally over, and the Liang soldiers dragged their tired bodies back to the barracks.

The more than 2,000 soldiers of the Sui army under Xin Wen were all evacuated to rest, and the 1,000 soldiers sent by Zhang Qiang to support took on the duty of guarding at night. A small number of soldiers were also left on the other walls to guard against enemy attacks at night.

The soldiers rested the most, but the four generals Xin Wen, Gong Chen, Dong Ren and Zhang Qiang did not rest, and they gathered together to summarize and analyze today's battle situation.

"It seems that the Liang army adopts the tactics of encircling three and missing one, and the north and south sides are still feints, and only Xicheng is really attacking, this Su Huer is very cunning!"

Zhang Qiang was depressed for a day, and after a day of fighting, he became a bystander.

Xin Wen nodded, agreeing with Zhang Qiang's analysis. Then, he turned to the other two and asked.

"Let's talk about the situation in the north and south, since it was Yang feigning an attack, how many soldiers and horses did Su Huer deploy outside the north and south cities?"

Dong Ren replied: "There are not many enemy troops outside the southern city, only a thousand troops, and they have not organized a decent attack at all, it is just for show. ”

Gong Chen said: "There are not many Liang troops in the north, a total of 2,000 troops, and the banner is Zhang Shan'an. I heard Xu Zhi say that Zhang Shan'an's army was very poor, a rabble. ”

Xin Wen nodded and said: "It seems that Su Hu'er has concentrated all the soldiers and horses to take the West Gate, hehe, this guy has probably thought about it a long time ago, and it is estimated that tomorrow he will take out the army under his command and capture Yuzhang City in one go." Hmph, this guy thinks so beautifully! ”

The other three nodded in agreement with Xin Wen's statement, and Gong Chen said, "Yes, probably Su Hu'er feels that today he has tested how much strength we have, and he thinks he knows it." The huge Yuzhang City is only defended by this army, and Su Hu'er must be secretly happy in his heart. ”

Zhang Qiang said: "Su Hu'er has a good calculation, but we can't be too passive, we have to find a way to toss Su Hu'er, what do you think?" ”

Hey, the other three looked at each other, and they all felt that this was good.

Xin Wen clenched his fist and smashed it hard, obviously a little excited in his heart.

"The Liang army outside the southern city gate is the weakest, and the Liang army outside the northern city is not bad, and the two sides together are three thousand troops. There was a big battle between the two sides today, and everyone was tired. Besides, Su Hu'er thought that there were more than 4,000 troops in our Yuzhang City, and he definitely wanted to sleep peacefully tonight. Hey, this opportunity is very good. What do you think? ”

Xin Wen's mention first won Gong Chen's approval.

"Okay, let's do him tonight. Anyway, we have learned a lot from the general, and we must always make some achievements! ”

"I'm in favor, let's dig out their nest tonight and come hard, it's best to pull out the Liang army in the north and south."

Dong Ren was a little excited, and danced with his hands when he spoke.

Zhang Qiang also agreed, saying: "The south sent 2,000 troops, and the north sent 4,000 troops, and they were directly stewed in one pot." In this way, tomorrow Suhuer can only pose a threat to us at the West City Gate, and we will be able to do it with ease. ”

"Okay, since everyone agrees, then, let's give Su Hu'er a surprise tonight, haha. Tonight, in the middle of the night, prepare more rockets, and burn down the camp of the Liang army, so that Su Huer will not want to sleep peacefully. ”

Gong Chen stroked his palm and said: "Yes, I guess Su Hu'er didn't dare to come out to the rescue, the black light is blind, he must be worried that there is an ambush outside." In this way, he can only do it in a hurry in the big camp. ”

The four generals discussed and decided to raid the north and south camps of the Liang army in the middle of the night.
