Chapter 909: Night Battle
on the city walls. Spoon
Seeing that the imperial army had no intention of continuing to attack, he buried the pot and made rice, estimating that there would be no more battles within an hour, and he was immediately overjoyed, time was too important for himself in Jincheng County.
The imperial army continued to attack, and Jincheng County was exhausted and had no colorless estimates.
Now that there is more than an hour, the odds are not negotiable, but at least you can make some preparations, and even if you die, you can bite off a large piece of meat from the other party.
"Someone!"
At this moment, Zhega's battle spirit was soaring, and he ordered to the people who came up: "Order Batu, let him lead his troops to dig big pits for this general at the gates of each city, the bigger the better, and the soil will be piled up in the city gate hole, and the city gate will be completely blocked." ”
"Don't leave an exit?" The other party asked in shock.
Once the city gate is blocked, the enemy cannot enter, and he himself cannot get out. Spoon
Zhe Kahun said nonchalantly: "What are you doing out there?" General Ben is going to fight to the death with the imperial army here, and it won't take five days for reinforcements to arrive, what are you afraid of? In this battle, we must play my majestic style in Khotan, who said that we can only ride and fight, and don't know how to defend the city? Lao Tzu wants to try it today. ”
The voice was deliberately raised very loudly, resounding in all directions.
As soon as the soldiers heard that reinforcements could arrive within five days, they immediately had no worries, and when they heard that they were going to fight out of the majesty of Khotan, they were immediately honored and their morale was greatly boosted.
The herald quickly left.
Zhega immediately called two more generals and told one of them to recruit the strong women in the city to help cook and free up all the troops, but he was not in a hurry to pull all of them up the city wall, but divided them into two and prepared for a polemic.
He also had a large number of feathered arrows carried on the city wall for later use.
One after another, the army moved quickly, there was something to do, and the army's spirit was more stable. Spoon
After lunch, there was still no attack by the imperial army.
Zhega guessed that there must be a conspiracy on the side of the imperial army, but he didn't panic in his heart, and he didn't panic for a while, and the more time he had, the more he prepared on his side.
Came to a city gate, saw a lot of soldiers digging pits, the big pit has some appearance, only need one or two more hours to be useful, Zhega face a little more smile, see the city gate hole has been blocked, the remaining soil is nowhere to use, littering is definitely not good, immediately find a messenger.
Where does the messenger know how to fight, but he has heard a lot, and his knowledge is naturally not bad, so he suddenly thought of a way, and hurriedly said: "Does the general know about Wengcheng?" ”
"Urn City?"
Zhega thought about it carefully, but he really didn't know, and shook his head directly.
The messenger hurriedly explained the role of the urn city, and finally added: "General, you can pile up the excavated earth around and increase it to form a barrier, similar to the city wall, once a person falls, it is difficult to climb up, and the soldiers can shoot with bows on it, similar to the urn city." "Hammer
"Hahaha, great idea."
Zhega was overjoyed, patted the other party's shoulder excitedly, and praised: "This method is good, the raised soil is soft, not conducive to climbing, and then arrange people to shoot on it, isn't it a big trap similar to hunting wolves on the grassland, if this battle is won, the general will take your first credit." ”
"General Xie!" The messenger is also not polite, merit is not, isn't that a fool?
The order was given quickly, and the excavated soil began to pile up around the pit, so that it did not need to be carried away, it was simple, convenient, and practical, and the excavation speed was much faster.
At dusk, the sunset is like blood.
There was no wind, no birds flew by, and the earth was slaughtered.
After the imperial army had a full meal, they still had no intention of attacking, and they even rested in the camp tent, which was weird. Spoon
On the city wall, Zhiga watched this scene silently, and a general next to him couldn't help but remind: "General, what are the imperial army going to do, is it possible to prepare for a night attack?" ”
Another general agreed: "After eating so early and resting, it is obvious that I am recuperating and preparing for a night battle, and it seems that I want to break the city tonight." ”
"Just them?"
Zhiga sneered disdainfully, then looked at everyone and continued: "Everyone, there are all kinds of signs that the imperial army will definitely attack at night tonight, and there is a chance that they will use cloud ladders, one day is enough time for them to build a lot of cloud ladders, and the city gates must be strictly guarded, but don't worry too much, don't forget night blindness." ”
"Yes, many people in the Central Plains have night blindness, but we don't, we have more advantages in night fighting." One of the fighters reacted violently and excitedly agreed.
The Khotanese people eat meat as their staple food, usually eat no less offal, almost no night blindness, and need to patrol at night to ensure that the tribe is not attacked by wild wolves, and the ability to shoot arrows at night is not weak.
"Okay, go back and tell the brothers to prepare for a night battle, don't shoot torches at the head of the city, there will be moonlight tonight, enough for us to see the opponent clearly, and playing torches will only expose the location, let's go." Zhega ordered. Spoon
Everyone said yes and left in a hurry.
Time is waiting to slip away.
Gradually, it got dark.
The wind rose, the blowing flags were hunting, and there was a commotion in the imperial army camp in the distance.
Not long after, a large number of imperial soldiers came out of their tents, held torches alof, and the bright light dispersed the night sky, the flames swayed in the wind, and the hunting sounded, as if to ignite the darkness and burn it.
After waiting for a while, the imperial army moved, and the soldiers were surrounded by three roads, and Jincheng County was surrounded by a big river on the other side, surrounded on three sides, and there was no way out, under the light of the torches, it could be seen that countless people carried the ladder to the front, and the ladder was followed by a large number of crossbowmen.
"Sure enough, we want to attack on three sides and take it in one fell swoop, so let's see if there is such a good tooth." Zhega looked at this scene, and the battle intent in his eyes jumped. Spoon
The soldiers had already been mentally prepared, and they were not afraid to look at the army that pressed up, and clenched the weapons in their hands.
Soon, the imperial army surrounded the city on three sides.
"Knock knock!"
The drums of war roared through the night sky.
"Attack!"
A loud roar suddenly exploded and spread in all directions.
"Kill—"
The imperial army roared and rushed up, and the light of the sword fired a torch, which was particularly dazzling.
"Woohoo!"
Crossbow arrows flew like rain, flying past the city, did not enter the city, the suppressed soldiers could not stand and fight back, Zhega saw the imperial army coming up and desperately at all costs, shouting: "Two people in a group, one person is responsible for covering, the other is responsible for shooting, fight to the death!" ”
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
The soldiers roared angrily, and got up one after another, one gritted his teeth and raised his shield to cover the front, covering the other to shoot arrows, but there were too many crossbow arrows, too dense, and the penetrating power was extremely strong, the shield could not be blocked at all, and it was easily pierced, injuring the arm.
At the moment of life and death, either you die or I die, and the soldiers gritted their teeth and did not retreat. Spoon
"Woohoo!"
Arrows whizzed down and pounced on the climbing enemy.
The big war was instantly white-hot.
At this moment, what is fighting is willpower and blood!
Whoever is afraid of death, who can't hold on, and the price of losing is death!
"Knock knock!"
Lux carried the striking wood and began to bang on the door, shouting neat slogans, the impact sound was deafening, but no one cared, no one cared about them, the city gates had been blocked, what could happen if the city gates were smashed, and they couldn't get in. Spoon
What's more, it is not easy for the city gate to be broken open with mud blocking.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
In the camp of the imperial army, the sound of war drums became more and more rapid, shaking the night sky.
That's a signal to speed up the onslaught and never die!
