"What?" , Zeng Mill couldn't help but be a little surprised, the wars were too frequent during this time, "What's going on?" How many enemy troops are there? ”

"There were a lot of people, but I didn't know... How many people, just because... There were many enemy troops, so they hurried out of the city to report the news. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info", the soldier gasped for breath, apparently running in a hurry just now.

"Haven't you been discovered by the enemy along the way?" , Zeng Mo looked at the soldier and asked.

"The little one is in a hurry, just thinking about coming to report the news, it should be... It was not discovered...", the soldier said with some hesitation, not knowing why Zeng Mo suddenly asked this question.

"Well, then you go down and rest first...", Zeng Milled and waved his hand, signaling the soldier to go out.

"It seems that I knew that attacking the important town would be attacked by artillery, so I changed to attack the small city...", Peng Yue said on the side.

"I don't think things are so simple...", Zeng frowned, "Now that Bai Deng is guarded by Li Zhen, I can rest assured that I am guarding the city..."

"Lord Zeng, the top priority is to send reinforcements to Bai Deng as soon as possible to relieve the siege of General Li Zhen...", Peng Yue reminded on the side.

"Li Zhen just brought a team of men and horses over a few days ago, with the strength of the city, it is not a problem to defend the city, but I am worried that the enemy has other intentions..."

Peng Yue saw Zeng Miao's unhurried attitude, and felt a little annoyed with him, but remembering that he didn't have much military experience after all, he didn't have a good attack.

"Lord Zeng, did Li Zhen bring a firearm with you?" , Peng Yue asked on the side.

"Master Peng, you didn't bring many firearms, last time Xiao Han, the deputy chief soldier of Liangzhou, took away two artillery pieces, and you transported a few more to Ganzhou. How much more do I have left? Zeng Mill said. But it didn't look anxious.

"So there's no artillery?" , Peng Yue listened to Zeng Miao's answer. I can't help but feel anxious.

"There are a lot of firearms in Baideng City to defend the city, but they are not the ones that the adults brought from the capital...", Zeng Mo looked up at Peng Yue, "But it is enough to defend the city." ”

"The enemy army raided Baideng, but Baideng City was able to quickly send someone to report the news, and the road was unimpeded. And I saw that the little soldier was sweaty and dusty, and there were no other scratches, so he must have walked on the main road. The enemy army is outnumbered, if you want to attack a small city. It must be tightly surrounded, and the people inside will not be allowed to go out of the city easily to report the news. It follows from this that the enemy must have set up an ambush somewhere, so we must not act rashly and fall into the trap of the enemy now. Zeng Mian said while looking at the map in his hand.

When Peng Yue heard this, he couldn't help but admire and be ashamed. remembered that Gaotai County was besieged last time, so he rashly sent troops to rescue him. I didn't think about it before. Fortunately, the enemy army only wanted to attack and plunder the city last time, and if he had other ideas, I am afraid that he would inevitably be defeated.

Zeng Mo saw that Peng Yue didn't speak, and thought that he was still worried. He smiled and said, "If the enemy army really has an ambush, then they will definitely not attack the city with all their strength first." Instead, they waited until the reinforcements were annihilated before attacking the city with all their might. Therefore, Bai Deng will not be in danger for the time being. And you have to believe in Li Zhen's ability, a small city. He still guarded it. ”

"I am deeply impressed by what Master Zeng has to worry about...". Peng Yue said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

"And I will definitely rescue Li Zhen, but not now, but when the enemy's ambush relaxes, and the decision to attack the city is made. At that time, there was a strong army, and the enemy army did not expect reinforcements to come, and they would be shocked. And by that time the enemy army was very tired, and the odds of victory were even higher..."

Listening to Zeng Miao's hearty laughter, Peng Yue was even more embarrassed, "Everything is subject to Master Zeng's arrangement." ”

But he said that there was indeed an ambush now, waiting on the way from Datong to Baideng, but no one came to the left, and no one came to the right.

Until the next morning, no one came. The Tartar soldiers in ambush were extremely tired, and they did not succeed here, and it was difficult for Baideng City to concentrate on attacking the city with all their strength, so they had to retreat in the end.

"My lord, report...", another soldier hurried in, "My lord, Bai Deng is surrounded, and the enemy is attacking fiercely..."

Zeng Mo saw that the soldier's clothes were torn in several places, and his face was full of abrasions and scratches: "You came from the path?" ”

"Yes, villains don't dare to take the big road..."

"How is Bai Dengcheng garrisoned now?" , Zeng Mian asked anxiously.

"The city hasn't been broken yet, but the enemy seems to be gathering more and more..."

"Hmm... Okay, you go down and rest first..."

Zeng Mo turned his head to look at Peng Yue. said excitedly: "I said that with Li Zhen's talent, he won't be unable to defend a city... But now reinforcements must be sent right away..."

Peng Yue couldn't help but admire Zeng Miao's wisdom now, "Lord Zeng, let me lead a reinforcement army over." ”

"No! As Lord Peng, how can he lightly set foot on the battlefield? Zeng Mian said solemnly.

"Don't worry, it's not a too hard war, and there's no need for your lordship to go in person." , Zeng Milling changed to a smiling face, "Although the enemy army is increasing more and more, it must be those reinforcements who are in ambush." After a night of ambush, they must have been extremely exhausted, and their combat effectiveness was definitely not high. Moreover, the siege of the Tartars has passed a day, and most of their patience has been lost. The Tartars are also for robbery, so they don't have the patience to spend so long attacking the city, as long as they can hold it for a day, it is the most critical, and now it is estimated that the Tartars have the heart to retreat. ”

"Then I'll bring another support army to intercept the palace, and I plan to bring firearms...", Peng Yue's eyes also showed a hint of cunning, "Anyway, I don't care much about the speed of the march, and I'm not the first support army..."

"Haha... Okay then...", Zeng said with a smile, "The Tartars were first tired from attacking the city, and they had the heart to retreat. Then they were attacked by reinforcements, and when they wanted to escape, they were ambushed by your reinforcements' firearms, and it seemed that they were going to be unlucky..."

However, Bai Dengcheng's defense was indeed a little more difficult than Zeng had imagined. Li Zhen didn't expect that there would be so many Tartar soldiers attacking the city this time, and they were gathering more and more, and after they attacked for a whole day, the offensive became more and more fierce.

Since the siege of the city yesterday, the Tartars have concentrated their forces on attacking the city gates, and although they have not succeeded, they have also caused many casualties among the defenders of the city

Fortunately, Li Zhen set up a lot of ambushes outside the city gate to block the attack of the enemy's cavalry troops.

For example, in the ditches beside the streams and moats near the city, Li Zhen ordered people to sprinkle thistle terrestris, iron thistle and iron water chestnut in advance, and many cavalry horses were scratched and lost their combat effectiveness.

There were also many horse traps on both sides of the city gate and on the avenue in front of the city gate, and the pits were covered with sharpened and fire-roasted antler wood and bamboo sticks, and many Tartar cavalry were also eliminated by this method.

But as the Tartar offensive became more and more fierce, although the soldiers in the city tried their best to resist, and constantly fired bows and arrows at the Tartar soldiers who attacked the city gate and the foot of the city wall, boulders, and even boiled a lot of boiling oil and poured it under the city, they still couldn't stop the Tartars from rushing to the city gate.

And he didn't have any decent artillery here, although he barely damaged the enemy's crossbow machine, but the stone artillery carts continued to fire into the city, and the garrison soldiers on the city wall suffered many casualties.

In addition, there were not enough garrisons in the city to go out of the city to fight the enemy army, so they could only defend in the city to wait for rescue.

Fortunately, after a busy day of work yesterday, he finally blocked the fierce attack of the Tartar soldiers and kept the city.

At night, out of caution, Li Zhen stayed awake all night, but fortunately, the Tartars did not attack the city at night. Li Zhen took advantage of this effort to mobilize a lot of people in the city to help defend the city, but what he needs most now is reinforcements... (To be continued.) )
