Boiling oil was poured on the great trees and corpses, and the fire was kindled, growing larger and larger, and the flames more than a foot high made the city a sea of fire; The ladder also began to slowly melt under the roasting of the fire; Smoke billowed into the sky. "Ahh

The soldiers under the cloud ladder were covered with boiling oil, and as the fire ignited, dozens of soldiers suddenly became burning people; Some died in the fire and could not save themselves, some rolled on the ground, and some turned and ran backwards screaming; The scene was chaotic. In the Tibetan military room above the city wall, Sun Yu smiled and admired: "It's still the lord's plan is higher, defending the city like this will definitely make the enemy army cold!" ”。

Wang Xu was secretly amused, what is so rare about this, it is nothing more than learning from ancient war examples; China's war history has a long history, the Spring and Autumn Period five hegemons competed for power, the Warring States Period seven heroes stood side by side, from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty I don't know how many dynasties have changed, I don't know how many wars have been launched, just take out one or two is enough to shock the world! Thirty-six strategies, Sun Tzu's Art of War Wang Xu doesn't understand, but no matter how good the Art of War is, it's just talk on paper, how can there be real combat power.

"It's a little meaning, and let's see how they attack the city!"

Li Zhijun under the city, in front of the military formation, Li Zhi's face changed suddenly, he couldn't believe his eyes, there was still such a defender of the city? "This Wang Xu is really hateful; The fire is so big, let's call for the withdrawal of troops, and come back after we have come up with countermeasures! ”。 Qin Shuang looked at the soldiers under the city who were slamming the city gate hard, and objected: "Big brother, don't withdraw the army!" ”。

"Although the fire was large, it could not cause damage to the car that crashed into the door; As soon as the gates are opened, we will kill the generals and enter, and then we will be able to save the defeat! ”。

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "The fire is gradually increasing, and it will definitely spread to the city gate in a few moments. Order to withdraw! ”。“ Hey" Qin Shuangxin sighed unwillingly, and then waved his hand, and the gong for the withdrawal of the army sounded.

The iron law of the battlefield, when you hear the drums, you must advance, and when you hear the gold, you must retreat!

Under the cover of hundreds of sword and shield men, the gate-ramping carts outside the city gate began to slowly retreat backwards, and above the city gate was a two-zhang long Tibetan military room, which protruded more than one meter from the city wall, so except for the archers who could shoot the retreating door-striking vehicles, other falling rocks and giant trees could not reach at all; I could only watch the enemy retreat and have nothing to do. "Huh, didn't you hit it?" Inside the city gate, Zhang Meng separated the soldiers lying on the city gate, and stepped forward to look out through the crack in the door. "Hey, want to run?". Zhang Meng hurriedly stepped back and pulled his war horse and turned over, waving the hammer and roaring: "Open the door for the master!" ”。

The city gate is full of Zhang Meng's personal soldiers, a total of more than 500 people, as the commander of the personal soldiers, and strong martial arts, he has repeatedly made military exploits on weekdays, so he is naturally full of prestige. Zhang Meng shouted, and the four soldiers holding the city gate immediately opened the city gate, and after that, the five hundred soldiers spread out on both sides and drew their swords and shouted. "Archon, we go with you!" Zhang Meng laughed and shouted: "Okay, it's all good, let me kill it." "Kill and kill!".

Zhang Meng clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse neighed and rushed out of the city gate to kill Li Zhijun, although the five hundred soldiers did not have a war horse, but still followed closely behind Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng's sudden attack was beyond everyone's expectations, Huang Quan originally saw that the enemy army had retreated, and was about to report to Wang Xu, but as soon as Zhang Meng killed, Huang Quan was suddenly confused. "Lord, Zhang Meng opened the city gate and went out."

Hearing Huang Quan's shout, Wang Xu's mind felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was stunned; Now the defense of the city is still insufficient, how dare you rush out of the city to fight, isn't that looking for death.

A staggered out of the Tibetan military room, Wang Xu looked out, only to see that Zhang Meng had rushed to two hundred zhang away, and the soldiers who were pushing the door car to retreat had all been killed, Zhang Meng was about a hundred zhang behind, and five hundred soldiers under Zhang Meng's command rushed forward with a horizontal knife in their hands. Huang Quan asked anxiously, "Lord, what now?" ”。“ What to do? I know what to do? When it comes to Zhang Meng, Wang Xu is loving and angry; Who doesn't love a fierce general who can come and go freely with the army? can go to war without authorization, and it is really a headache not to listen to orders. If you don't send troops to rescue you at this time, you will definitely die, no matter how high Zhang Meng's martial arts are, it is impossible to kill all 30,000 troops; If he leads a large army out of the city, it will be annihilated; Thinking about Zhang Meng's exploits these days, Wang Xu hesitated. Is it salvation? Or not save?

"Look, my lord, the enemy's cavalry is back!" Huang Quan pointed to the distance and said loudly.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw dust flying in the distance, and tens of thousands of elite horsemen swept back; But if you look closely, it is not the same as before; Tens of thousands of elite cavalry were divided into four groups, each cavalry held a long iron chain in their hands, when Zhang Meng was approaching, the four cavalry did not rush to Zhang Meng, but to Zhang Meng's side to outflank, after a while, the four cavalry surrounded Zhang Meng in the middle, and quickly formed four huge circles outside Zhang Meng. "Iron Lock Array!".

Sun Yu exclaimed, and Wang Xu asked, "What is the Iron Lock Array?" ”。

Sun Yu explained: "The iron lock array, which was created by Ding Ning, the general of Zhenyuan, when Emperor Wen was in power in 863 of the Hong Zhou Dynasty, was specially used by the cavalry, and it was a famous cavalry array, which took advantage of the swiftness of the cavalry, and could quickly weave the iron chains in their hands into an iron net, so as to limit the range of movement of the enemy in the array, and the iron net would slowly shrink, and finally gather the enemy army in the middle and shoot it with bows and arrows or javelins; In the long run, even if the enemy is not killed by javelins and arrows, he will be trapped to death, and there is no way out! ”。

hiss

Wang Xu gasped, he didn't expect that people in this era would have such a powerful formation, it seems that he can't be Xiao Xu. If you are proud of the world because you are a person in the 21st century, it is really wrong, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.

"There's no way to break this bird formation?" Wang Xu asked.

Sun Yu said: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, although the iron lock array is powerful, but his disadvantages are not small, first of all, tens of thousands of cavalry are connected by the iron chains, which makes them unable to deal with the incoming enemy flexibly, if there is a large number of enemy raids outside the formation at this time, the big array is in danger."

"My lord, please look at the general wearing a red cloak in the innermost part of the big array, where he is the eye of the entire big array, as long as the iron chain in his hand is put down, the whole iron lock big array will collapse, and when the big array breaks, it will be like a plate of loose sand."

Everyone nodded again and again, Wang Xu glanced at the captains present and asked, "Who dares to go and break the formation?" ”。

"Lord, let's go," Sun Yu arched his hand and said.

At this moment, Huang Quan's face turned pale, and he pointed to the outside of the city and said loudly: "Lord, the enemy's infantry is surrounding."
