West of the Black City.

Qin Huaidao was silent, looking closely at the city in front of him, and saw a murderous aura rushing straight into the sky, piercing and crushing the silence and peace of the sunset, is the rebel army going to die?

A gust of wind blew, but it couldn't blow away the war intent in Qin Huaidao's heart, since the rebels wanted to fight, then they would fight, although the night was about to fall, it was not suitable for attacking the city, and people in this era did not like night battles because of night blindness, but when everyone thought so, it often contained a surprise chance of victory.

What's more, the forbidden army has a high salary, and only a very small number of people have night blindness, which is well planned and very grasped.

"Report!"

A scout Pegasus came: "General, to the south is General Niu and the imperial reinforcements. ”

Qin Huaidao pointed to the side and said, "The herald General Niu led his troops to assemble over there, prepare for the siege, and then gather all the archers." ”

"Obey!" The scout hurried away.

"Do you want to attack the city?" Everyone asked excitedly.

"The city wall is smaller than General Ben expected, and there is a chance to go south, so that the brothers can stop digging the horse pit, prepare for the siege, and come to the Chinese military tent to discuss matters." Qin Huaidao dropped a sentence and returned the same way.

Everyone nodded excitedly, asked the people around them to pass the order, and followed Qin Huaidao back.

Qin Huaidao sat on the ground, took a pen and paper and hurriedly hand-painted a three-dimensional map of Heicheng for everyone to watch.

Everyone was accustomed to Qin Huaidao's combat style, and they didn't say anything, Su Dingfang, Shi Yeshan and Niu Tong were not familiar with it, but seeing that Fang Yiai and the others were not angry, they all waited patiently.

After the drawings were hand-drawn, Qin Huaidao observed for a moment, made sure that there were no omissions and mistakes, and did not give orders immediately, and continued to think while waiting.

A moment later, a scout shouted at the door, "General, Qibi Shamen has led the army out of Yin Mountain. ”

Yinshan came over Qingshan, and then Heicheng, Qingshan is not big, but it is not difficult to hide tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and shouted: "The herald Qibi Shamen is ambushed in Qingshan, once the rebels flee north, Qingshan is the place that must pass, let go of the vanguard troops, give me a heavy army, and not a grain of grain in Heicheng is allowed to be taken away." ”

"Obey." The scout hurried away.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Qin Huaidao, and before the fight started, they predicted that the rebels would flee north, was this a bit too much? But no one asked.

Qin Huaidao didn't explain and continued to wait.

After a while, Niu Jinda's voice sounded outside: "General, the end will be too late. ”

"Come in and talk." Qin Huaidao smiled.

Niu Jinda's tall figure came in, and when he saw Qin Huaidao pointing to his side, it was a kind of attention, and he went over gratefully, and after sitting down next to him, he said: "General, the amount of 50,000 imperial court reinforcements is right, it carries a lot of grain and grass, enough for a month, and in addition, there are only 5,000 archers in the reinforcements, who are waiting outside." ”

"Very good, the people are here, let's start distributing the tasks." Qin Huaidao said and set up the hand-drawn paper for everyone to observe.

Everyone's expressions were awe-inspiring, especially Niu Jinda and other people who were not familiar with Qin Huaidao's combat methods, their eyes lit up when they saw the drawings, and with this drawing, it was clear at a glance that it was much more convenient, no wonder they had never been defeated.

Qin Huaidao pointed to the drawings and continued: "The length of the black city from north to south is about six hundred zhang, but the width of the city wall is less than two zhang, and this section of the city wall can accommodate no more than three thousand soldiers. ”

Everyone didn't think about it, carefully recalled the city they saw, estimated that it was really true, and they all nodded, Qin Huaidao continued: "The east and west walls of Heicheng are shorter, but not too much, they can be ignored, in other words, each wall of Heicheng has 3,000 soldiers, and there are 9,000 soldiers on all sides, less than 10,000 people. ”

"General, there are a lot of nine thousand soldiers and horses, and it is condescending and difficult to attack, not to mention that there are many steps in the city wall that can be used to go up and down, and troops can be transferred up and down in time to support." Niu Jinda reminded.

"General Niu, don't speak, listen to the general's deployment." Li Yixie reminded that in the first battle of Goguryeo, he was too familiar with Qin Huaidao's combat style, and he said it in such detail not to solicit opinions, but to tell everyone the situation.

Niu Jinda reacted and realized that his words were a little redundant.

Qin Huaidao glanced at Niu Jinda and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, nine thousand soldiers and horses are the limit on the city wall, no matter how many troops are increased, it is difficult to exceed this number, in other words, what we need to face is the counterattack of nine thousand soldiers and horses, not two hundred thousand rebels at the same time. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and this truth was clear at all.

Qin Huaidao continued: "Ben will ask to attack the city wall before dark, but the time is urgent, so I won't discuss it, and I will dismount and listen to my orders." ”

The crowd quickly sat upright, looked at the paper, and pricked up their ears.

"General Niu led the archers to assemble here, about ten zhang away from the city wall, this distance is convenient for the archers to accurately shoot into the city, of course, the rebels can also shoot everyone, so it is necessary to transfer troops to cover with shields, two people to defend the front, one person to defend the front, three people to cover an archer to shoot the enemy of the city wall, do not stop, until the siege troops climb the city wall position." Qin Huai

Dao said that he drew an area in front of the city wall, and then looked at Niu Jinda.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Niu Jinda agreed, thought of something, and added: "General, don't you need our army to attack the city?" ”

"No, you don't."

Qin Huaidao's tone was affirmative, and his blazing eyes fell on Shi Yeshan and Niu Tong, and added: "You two also lead the archers forward, and the fighting style is the same, and the archers are lined up one foot apart, which is convenient for the siege army to pass." As he spoke, he drew two more squares on the drawing, which happened to cover the west side of the city.

As long as each team is spaced one zhang apart, that is, three meters, not to mention people, horses can pass without being affected.

Shi Yeshan and Niu Tong hurriedly agreed and wrote down the way to play.

Qin Huaidao looked at Fang Yiai and the others, and continued: "After the five rounds of feather arrows attacked, the front and rear left and right middle five armies attacked in five ways, everyone carried a shield to prevent accidental injury, there were three teams, tens of thousands of archers covered, five rounds of feather arrows were enough to empty the enemy of the city wall, of course, the rebels may come up at any time, they must seize the gap to climb up and seize the city wall." ”

Fang Yiai no one nodded solemnly, everyone was used to Qin Huaidao's command, so they didn't ask, and continued to listen.

Qin Huaidao drew five arrows on the drawing, and wrote the surnames of the five people next to each arrow, representing the five people, and continued: "After going up, Fang Yiai attacked to the left along the city wall, and Li Yixie attacked to the right along the city wall, a two-stage attack, and cleared the other rebels on the city wall as soon as possible. ”

The one who called the name nodded solemnly, and wrote down the military order.

"Cheng Chuliang led the army to follow Fang Yiai, occupy every step taken, leave enough manpower to block it, and prevent any rebels from killing it again, Cheng Chubi followed Li Yixie, the same is true."

The Cheng brothers nodded solemnly, although they were very unconvinced, and wanted to rush forward to kill, but the military order was like a mountain, and the Chinese army tent was not usual, so they couldn't joke, so they couldn't hold back, and glanced at Fang Yiai and Li Yixie enviously.

Qin Huaidao chose Fang Yiai and Li Yixie to fight forward, because the two of them were ruthless and reckless enough, and they dared to play with their lives when they fought, regardless of the tail, the Cheng family brothers were more stable than the two of them, and they could hold on, and their wise eyes fell on Yu Chi Baolin, and continued: "After your troops attacked, they quickly unfolded, blocked all the steps, and did not allow the rebels to come up. ”

"Understood, don't worry, General." Yu Chi Baoqi replied solemnly.

Qin Huaidao put down the drawings, looked at the five people and added: "Remember, take the city wall as quickly as possible, and then block all the steps on the city wall, and the rebels are not allowed to approach, but they are not allowed to attack down, the rebels have too many troops, they are familiar with the terrain, our army cannot fall into street fighting, if you dare to disrespect the order, the general will be bad, and the military law will deal with it." ”

"Obey!" The five of them replied solemnly.

"A reminder." Qin Huaidao said solemnly: "Take all the crossbows, there are too many rebels, seeing that the general trend has gone, they must be desperate, no crossbows can not be stopped, block the four gates of the east, west and south, let go of the north gate and let the rebels run." ”

"Please rest assured, General." The four of them replied solemnly.

Qin Huaidao secretly estimated that the last time he captured 400,000 crossbows, plus the original leftover, a total of about 500,000, but covering the defection of the government soldiers, plus the ambush of the Jieli Department and the rebel sneak attack troops behind, most of the losses were lost, but fortunately, after cleaning up the battlefield, some were recovered, and there were more than 150,000 crossbows.

Shoot at close range, 150,000 crossbows lost plus bows and arrows, kill 100,000 rebels is still sure, the rebels have about 200,000 left at most, if you really die 100,000 in battle, you will definitely panic, you will flee, and the siege troops can hold the city wall.
