Chapter 292: Li Zhao led the army to arrive before the offensive and defensive battles began
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the generals who went to rest also woke up in the hall one after another, waiting for the arrangement of the first sun.
The person who went out to deliver a letter to Zhu Kang also came back, and also followed a small school beside Zhu Kang to listen to Chuyang's strategy and deployment.
"I first led an army to detour to the rear of Li Zhao, Brother Cheng continued to defend the city with the generals, released arrows within a hundred steps, fell stones on the side of the city wall, and released wolf smoke after blocking two cloud ladder soldiers, General Zhu looked at the beacon fire as a number, and when the wolf smoke was lit on the city wall of Lang Yuan, the soldiers and horses on both sides were killed together, and when General Zhu immediately went to the battlefield to fight, Brother Cheng led the army to open the city gate and kill out of the city, and then the four soldiers and horses surrounded and suppressed!" Chu Yang arranged for the generals.
"Yes!" all the generals present shouted in unison.
After that, Chu Yang ordered Guantai again: "Guo Chai, stand on the wall and insult Li Zhao during the war!"
"Why do you want to scold him?" Hearing Chu Yang can call himself by his name, Guantai knew that this was giving an order to himself, although he understood that the military order could not be violated, but he still couldn't help but want to find out the reason.
"If you are angry in your heart, you will be able to lose your mind and make him mess up!" Chu Yang sneered, and remembered the master's teaching, when fighting with others, you must not be angry!
"Li Zhao can be a strategist and lead a large army, this method may not work. Cheng Yuan nodded and agreed with Chu Yang's statement, but when he thought of Li Zhao's identity, he still had some concerns.
Without waiting for Chu Yang to speak, Gao Cun shook his head and said: "If you don't say anything else, just to avenge Li Gui that day, and completely disregard the lives of the army, it is enough to prove that he will definitely be scolded for his narrow-mindedness!"
Only then did everyone react, yes, his previous command of the army to charge was a practice of pursuing the enemy, and there was nothing wrong with it, but it was clear that he saw that 30,000 horses were like grass mustard in the hands of Chu Yang, and he didn't even withdraw his troops, which showed that Li Zhao was indeed easily provoked and uncontrolled.
Those who want to command a large army in battle must not only be meticulous, wise, and strategic, but also ensure that the color of the landslide remains unchanged in front and that the tsunami does not panic in the rear! And the kind of people who are swayed by emotions lead the army, and there is only one result, that is, to bury the life of the entire army!
At this time, the scout horses sent out rushed in and reported: "The subordinates have infiltrated the enemy camp and learned that they are sending troops at noon and have not launched an attack on the city from time to time!"
As soon as Chu Yang saw the sky, it was already noon, and now it was the time for Li Zhao to lead the army to come, and he threw off his battle robe and shouted to the generals: "Prepare for battle immediately!"
The generals were ordered to follow behind Chu Yang and walked out of the gate of the county mansion.
All the generals arrived at their posts, and Chu Yang ordered three thousand cavalry, went around the east gate to the woods before and ambushed them, waiting for Li Zhao's arrival.
After waiting for a while, he saw a large number of countless men and horses on the road not far away, and the three thousand men and horses of Chuyang hurriedly lowered their bodies and hid in the deep grass, letting the large group of people pass by.
After Li Zhao's army of 50,000 passed, Chu Yang got up and said to the soldiers behind him: "When you see the wolf smoke rising on the city wall later, you will kill the enemy with me!"
"Yes!" The three thousand men and horses were all boiling at this time, and when they waited for the first sun to order the troops, they knew that he was still alive, except for the surprise, everyone was gearing up, they knew that the arrival of the first sun must be for the upcoming battle, and they all wanted to defeat the enemy army together with the god of war in the army!
When Li Zhao led the army to a hundred zhang away from the Langyuan city wall, he put his hand on the pergola and saw the white flags floating on the city tower, and his heart was extremely happy: The surname Fang is indeed dead! Look at me to take Langyuan City in one fell swoop today!
Then he got up from the carriage and shouted to the army of 50,000 in a loud voice: "Beat the drums!
With the sound of war drums and the shouts of 50,000 horses, it shook people's ears and hurt, and it didn't take long for the men and horses to be killed twenty feet outside the city.
Cheng Yuan, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly poked his head out of the city wall, and with his shout, a dense group of crossbowmen stood up on the city tower, and after a sound of arrows, the arrows were like locusts in the sky, covering the sky and the sun to cover the enemy attacking the city!
In an instant, the first group of men and horses fell to the ground, more or less with arrows stuck in their bodies.
When Li Zhao saw the archers standing on the city wall, he panicked in his heart, shouldn't he be dealing with the funeral?
Although prepared, no matter how powerful the archers were, they were no match for the more than 50,000 horses led by Li Zhao, and after three waves of bows and arrows to resist the enemy, a large number of men and horses arrived at the foot of Lang Yuan City, and quickly set up a ladder under the defense of the shield soldiers.
Seeing that the soldiers and horses had set up a ladder under the city, Li Zhao sat back again, hum, what if you are ready?
The bows and arrows were useless at this moment, and under Cheng Yuan's orders, all the soldiers carried the rolling logs about two feet thick, and the top was full of cone thorns and smashed them at the besiegers who were climbing the ladder.
As soon as they touched it, the besieging soldiers would be smashed on the spot!
It is also as Li Zhao predicted, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, after tripling the bounty of kicking the city, all the foot soldiers who climbed the cloud ladder risked their lives, and they were not afraid of the terrifying damage of rolling wood and stones, and they all rushed to climb the city tower like crazy!
After a short time, the prepared rolling wood and stone were used up, and Cheng Yuan gave orders three times, and the captain halberd soldiers who came up from the rear replaced the soldiers of the previous city defense.
Before the foot soldiers who climbed the ladder could go up, they were cut off by the halberd and fell to the ground, or they were directly stabbed to death on the spot by the halberd, and even more so they were pierced through the belly by the halberd, and the intestines that flowed out were entangled in the horizontal steps of the ladder, and they were suspended on the ladder with their intestines!
After a short period of resistance, after all, the enemy asked for money and did not want to die, and after a short time, there were foot soldiers who climbed the city wall, and the infantry captain Changhe and Zhou Bei immediately drew out the ring head knife, and the first two knives hacked the enemy soldiers who came up to death on the spot.
Cheng Yuan looked at the enemy soldiers who were slowly coming up, and said in his heart: I have blocked the two waves according to Chu Yang's explanation, if it drags on any longer, the city will really be breached!
After stepping forward and slashing one person to death, he shouted to the two colonels who had been waiting on the top of the city tower behind him: "Hurry up and release the wolf smoke!"
The two colonels hurriedly raised their torches and lit the wolf dung on the iron frame, and in a short time, billowing black smoke rose into the sky several feet high!
Resisting the urge to rush and kill the enemy, Zhu Kang's military horses, who had been lying in ambush on both sides, saw that black smoke finally came out of the city tower, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to beat the drums, and then killed Li Zhao's military horses who were attacking the city from both sides.
Li Zhao was sitting on the carriage, leisurely looking at the people and horses who had slowly attacked the city tower, and he even depicted in his heart that he had captured Langyuan City and was standing above the city to enjoy the scenery.
When he was happy, there were suddenly earth-shattering war drums and shouts of killing from both sides, and he hurriedly looked at both sides in a panic, and found that he had killed a large number of men and horses on both sides of the army, and he suddenly panicked in his heart: Didn't you say that there were less than 10,000 people in Langyuan City? Where did the army on these two sides come from?!
