Chapter 306: Battle (Part II)
"Guys, this is my plan for the next, first of all, we should make a noise and lure them to take the initiative. If they come out, we will begin the siege. Gao Qi explained.
"But general, what if the other party and the soldiers defending the city attack us when we attack the city?" The adjutant asked.
"The distance between the two cities, although they will soon be supportive, but we will arrange for the cavalry to ambush nearby, and once they come out, we can use the cavalry to cut off their lines, so that they will not be able to withstand such losses and retreat, and the city will be ours." Gao Qi said, pointing to the map.
The plan sounds foolproof, but there is a fatal problem, that is, the casualties in this battle will be very serious, and Gao Qi now has reinforcements, and he can afford this loss.
Two days later, Gao Qi came to the outside of the city with his soldiers, using the last iron bucket array to attack the city, and on the other hand, he sent out spies to keep an eye on the other party's movements.
Receiving the news of the other party's siege made Gu Miaoxuan a little surprised, because the earlier battle was to attract the attention of the other party, but now the other party's siege made her panic, and immediately arranged for people from another city to send troops to support, and she also brought some people over to relieve the siege.
In order to interrupt Gao Qi's siege this time, Gu Miaoxuan planned to merge the soldiers from the two sides together, and then attack Gao Qi's troops together, and if he succeeded, he could even successfully kill Gao Qi.
The two sides began to set off, and the round began an hour later, and sure enough, the defenders of the city were in a hurry, and Gu Miaoxuan immediately led the troops to set off, but just when he was about to feel it, he saw the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the distance.
"Rush!"
Seeing the cavalry charging over, Gu Miaoxuan was suddenly shocked, she didn't expect that Yunnan Kingdom still had this hand.
"Everyone, get ready!" Gu Miaoxuan calmed down and commanded the soldiers to resist the cavalry.
The cavalry of Yunnan stabbed into the coalition army like knives, dividing them into several places.
Gu Miaoxuan took the lead, cut down a few cavalrymen, and began to slowly surround the charging cavalry with the remaining people.
"Everyone, fence me up, don't let them run!" Gu Miaoxuan shouted.
At this time, the soldiers immediately did so, surrounded the charging cavalry, and even though they suffered heavy losses, the cavalry still fell in the siege of the soldiers.
And looking at Gao Qi from a distance, he is also very helpless, if he sends soldiers to support, he may not be able to take the city, which is not only sorry for the soldiers who are besieging the city, but also affects the cavalry who intercept it.
"Everyone! Go on the offensive! Gao Qi swung his sword and began to charge with the rest of the men.
Half an hour later, as the last cavalry fell, Gu Miaoxuan looked at the national flag of Yunnan floating on the city in the distance, and said helplessly: "Retreat!" ”
Gao Qi looked at the soldiers of Lanling Kingdom who were far away, and he was also relieved, if they really turned back, it would be another fierce battle.
"General, should we pursue?" The adjutant general on the side asked.
"There's no need, we also suffered heavy losses this time, half of the cavalry is consumed in this, repair first." Gao Qi said.
After Gu Miaoxuan went back, he sent half of his troops to support the city on the side, if this was also lost, then the Lanling Kingdom would have lost almost half of its territory.
"County Lord, we have thousands of casualties this time, and the losses of the Yunnan cavalry are also thousands." The adjutant general on the side said.
Gu Miaoxuan also sighed helplessly for such a number, because among these people, nearly one-tenth of them died in their own hands, but not everyone was as powerful as her.
"I know, send spies, keep an eye on them, and report back immediately if there is any news." Gu Miaoxuan said.
Seeing that a city had been lost on the map, it had already disrupted Gu Miaoxuan's plan, and this time the reinforcements were too late, there were only a few thousand people, and she felt that the victory in this battle was getting slimmer and slimmer.
At night, Gu Miaoxuan looked outside alone, and before she knew it, it was autumn, but it was not the time when Gu Miaoxuan wanted, and now she could only wait a few more months if she wanted to win.
"Your Majesty, half of the soldiers have already set off." Said the adjutant general.
"Okay, everyone fix it, and in two days, I have a new plan." Gu Miaoxuan said.
Two days later, it was the beginning of autumn, and everyone came to the camp, and Gu Miaoxuan talked about her plan again.
"Now, we have this city left, and in a few months it will be winter, as long as our defense line is in front of the mountain, when winter comes, it will be our chance to counterattack, and then we will not only be able to regain the lost territory, but also severely damage the troops of Yunnan." Gu Miaoxuan analyzed.
The generals only understood Gu Miaoxuan's purpose at this time, whether it was the previous stubborn defense or the present, it was to drag out the war until winter, and then Yunnan would definitely not adapt to the cold winter, and it would be the time to counterattack.
On the other hand, Gao Qi saw that the weather was starting to get cooler, and the soldiers were starting to feel a little uncomfortable, so he immediately took out the map and looked at it.
"Sure enough, the order goes down, and tomorrow we will take that city!" Gao Qi said.
"General, there is a big battle near us, if we go to war immediately, I'm afraid..."
Then Gao Qi began to explain that the geographical location of that city was special, and taking the city as a defense line would prevent the attack of the Lanling Kingdom.
However, the weather has gradually cooled, which means that time is running out for them.
The next day, watching his men begin to assemble, Gao Qi saw that some soldiers began to tremble a little, and even the autumn wind blew a kind of skull.
"Everyone, we must take this city before winter begins, this city is very important to us, success or failure in one fell swoop! Let's go! ”
The soldiers were encouraged and shouted in unison, even though Gao Qi thought the mobilization was useless.
On the other hand, after receiving the news that Yunnan sent troops, Gu Miaoxuan had no choice, after all, he also suffered heavy losses, but now is really a critical time, if he hugs the city, he will not hesitate to kill or hurt him.
The soldiers of the Yunnan Kingdom came to the outside of the city, and seeing that the Lanling people above were already in battle, Gao Qi sighed bitterly, "Everyone, charge!" ”
Suddenly, the sound of killing sounded, and the iron bucket array went first, but this time the people of Lanling were prepared, and directly took out the stones and threw them at the people below.
"Bang, bang."
The huge stones fell, and suddenly people couldn't hold on, and the hot oil made the soldiers burn and directly lose their shields, or burn their hands directly.
Seeing that there was a loophole in the iron bucket array, the soldiers on the ladder were also trying their best to climb the city wall, but at this time, Gu Miaoxuan appeared on the city wall, cut down all the soldiers who wanted to come up in three or two, and successfully blocked the attack on one side.
Seeing that there was no way to take it, Gao Qi could only use more soldiers to open the defense line, this time, both sides were fighting recklessly, and for a while the battlefield became like a meat grinder, frantically harvesting lives.
The cries and screams mingle to form the most terrifying hell, but everyone in it has no compassion and has only one goal, which is to kill the enemy in front of them.
Seeing the soldiers of Yunnan coming forward one after another, playing like a tide, and the battering ram at the city gate was about to break the city gate, he jumped and led people below to prepare to resist the invading enemy army.
"Boom!"
The city gate fell violently, and the soldiers of Yunnan rushed towards the city gate.
"Everyone, for the sake of Lanling Kingdom, rush!"
Gu Miaoxuan took the lead, and as soon as the sword came out, the soldiers of the Yunnan Kingdom who killed him were terrified.
"Everyone, give me back!" Gu Miaoxuan shouted, and the soldiers of the Lanling Kingdom behind him stubbornly resisted the soldiers of the Yunnan Kingdom.
"Brush, brush, brush..."
Two quarters of an hour later, the soldiers of Yunnan still did not break through the city wall, and even the city gate was broken for so long and did not succeed in entering the city, which made Gao Qi a little helpless.
"Cavalry, immediately break into the city gate, be sure to take the city quickly!" Gao Qi shouted.
After a while, I saw that the infantry besieging the city had pushed back, but there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Gu Miaoxuan, who had just taken a breath, realized that something was wrong, "Lancer, resist me!" ”
Hundreds of pikemen immediately stepped forward at the gate of the city, and Gu Miaoxuan also led people to ambush on both sides.
At the moment of the battle between the two sides, I saw the cavalry crashing into the muzzle of the gun and roaring, but the cavalry did not stop, and the powerful impact even almost broke through the defensive line.
"Give me back!" Gu Miaoxuan shouted.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers of Lanling Kingdom magically withstood the attack, and the cavalry suddenly couldn't advance a bit.
However, even so, Gao Qi has no intention of retreating, and if he can't take everything after paying so much, there is no point.
"General, our army has already suffered heavy casualties, and if this continues, we will not have the strength to continue fighting." The lieutenant general reminded from the side.
Gao Qi gritted his teeth, now tens of thousands of troops have been dispatched, the city gate has been broken, and everything that can be used has been used, but it is the result now.
"Mingjin retreats!" After a while, Gao Qi said helplessly.
"Whew!!"
As the horn sounded, the soldiers of Yunnan Kingdom left one after another, and Gu Miaoxuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, now this battle has decided the victory or defeat.
"Your Majesty, we won, we have defeated the Yunnan Kingdom!" The soldiers applauded.
However, when Gu Miaoxuan just wanted to say something at this time, she only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she fainted.
"Your Majesty!"
Not long after, Gu Miaoxuan woke up and found that she had changed into a medicinal cloth, and the maid on the side was cleaning the medicinal cloth.
"Your Majesty, you're awake, it's great, I'll go and inform the doctor now." After saying this, the maid immediately ran out.
Touching the wound on her body, the pain in her body made her wake up, it turned out that she was not dreaming, she really defeated the Yunnan Kingdom, and couldn't help laughing.
