Chapter 329: The grain road is intercepted
It was such a confident sentence again, and BΓΌhler smiled helplessly.
yes, even if you know what is the use of the Linghui Army's weapons? The range of these weapons of war far exceeds that of the same type of weapons in other countries, and their power is also very great, which is simply a product of the times. Suppress with force, and there is nothing to be done in knowing oneself and knowing the other.
"Report!" As the two were talking, they saw a messenger run up.
"Lord Wang, according to the report of the secret agent, the Dangxiang Huwei Legion has arrived at Tongguan and joined forces with the remnants of the stunned army. They are actively building an offensive that seems to be going to fight us to the death! β
"General Buller, how's it going?"
"The prince is really clever!" Buhler smiled bitterly, and was really guessed by Li Hao.
The Huwei Army is the strongest Wang Division unit in the party, with a total of more than 80,000 people, who are well-trained, well-equipped, and very strong in combat.
On weekdays, this army was under the command of only one person, Tart Bachi Ci. It's his personal guard.
Now that this army has gone to the front line, it shows how much attention the party attaches to this battle, and it seems that it is planning to fight Li Hao to the death.
"Keep scouting and report back at any time!"
"Yes!"
The army in front was stubborn, but the Linghui army did not have the slightest nervousness and continued to move forward steadily.
In just one day, I have already come to the suburbs of customs clearance.
Customs clearance is a big city of the party, the city wall is five zhang high, the city wall is stacked by solid stones, and the whole body is poured with stone mud, which is extremely solid, even if it is bombarded with all the catapults of the Linghui Army, it will definitely not break the city wall for a while.
At this moment, on the city wall, the banners of the party and the Xiang clan are lined up, and the morale of the army is high, which is far from convenient for the Linghui army to confront each other.
"Set up camp on the spot, observe the enemy's movements first, and then take effect on the map!"
Li Hao did not rush to attack, but was ready to observe first. The single clan has been working on the land of China for many years, he has his own background behind him, he is by no means incompetent, and now that the Li kingdom has just been built, it is not easy to pull out an army of 80,000, he doesn't want to be defeated casually.
On the same day, Li Hao and several of his generals climbed up the high mountain next to Tongguan City and used binoculars to condescendingly observe the movements in the city.
I saw that the city was in good order, the army was well stationed, the granaries were abundant, and the strength was good.
It looks like they want to fight a protracted battle with the Linghui Army.
Buhler was on the side, admiring the magic of the telescope, and said: "In the battle of Jinju, I have already tasted the pain of a spy in the city, and this time it may not be easy for your people to sneak in!" β
Li Hao shrugged his shoulders and disagreed: "Of course, if it weren't for you last time, those refugees wouldn't have been able to enter the city even if they smashed their palms, I understand this." β
"This clearance is the easiest and most difficult city for the party to defend and attack, even if the Linghui Army's catapult is powerful, it can't shatter the city wall for a while, I don't know how the prince wants to attack this time?"
Li Hao laughed: "There are many ways to attack it, but it hasn't reached that step yet." I still have some time, so let's observe it first, after all, it is the last battle, and I don't think the party and the country will slack off. Black egg, you lead the troops to make a feint, and I'll take a look at their formation! β
"It's the prince!" The black egg can finally go into battle, although it is a feint, but it is still very excited.
After a short time, the 10,000 Linghui army left the camp and killed it in the direction of Tongguan City.
As soon as they came out of the battle, the siege equipment of the Linghui Army was activated at the same time.
Dozens of catapults continued to be loaded and thrown, and the stone projectiles were fired towards the defenders on the city wall, providing cover for the charging Linghui army.
Hei Dan took the opportunity to lead the team to attack the city and began to build a ladder to attack the city.
"They're coming! Fight back! β
I saw that on the city wall, there were also many catapults, and a burning stone bullet was thrown from the city tower and hit the camp of the Linghui army.
For a time, there were countless casualties.
"Hit!" Black Egg is not afraid of danger and calmly copes.
I saw a group of war horses rushing towards with countless black boxes, came to the front of the formation, opened the boxes, and set up large crossbows in a row, and with an order, countless crossbow arrows as thick as arms shot up the city wall, shooting the soldiers of the party under the city, and even their catapults were hard to resist the power of an arrow and shattered.
These ballistas were loaded very quickly, and the Linghui army was very well supplied, and the arrows continued to rain down on the towers.
The two armies fought for a long time, but they were also victorious.
Li Hao saw the strength of the party army, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Hei Dan quickly withdrew from the battlefield with his troops, and the party soldiers on the city tower finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They sighed at the strength of the Linghui army, only 10,000 troops, they have already beaten them bitterly, if 80,000 Linghui troops are covered at the same time, I don't know how long this city tower can withstand it.
The black egg returned to Li Hao's side, and the excited expression on his face had not completely dissipated.
"How does it feel?" Li Hao asked.
The black egg wiped the sweat from his face: "Don't be afraid, if the whole army attacks, it will take up to two days to capture the city." Their walls are strong, but their gates can be blasted open! β
"Let's do it for the time being, rest for two days and wait for the party to make a move!"
"Master, why is that?"
Hei Dan and the others couldn't see through Li Hao's thoughts.
Now that the city can be captured, why wait for the party to make a move? Doesn't it say that the first strike is the best?
Li Hao laughed: "This is indeed the place where the party and I will fight to the death, but they don't arrange all the troops here." War can only increase casualties, and if you want to get the party to submit as soon as possible, you must fight them here. Rather than encountering resistance later, it is better to let them use all the tricks they can use. If they go all out and are defeated by me, they won't have the heart to fight against me after that! β
"I see!" Hei Dan and the others suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing.
Li Hao is like this, no matter what he does, he can ensure full confidence. This self-confidence is contagious to those around him and makes everyone fearless.
But before the laughter of the crowd had subsided, a rush of footsteps was heard from outside the account.
"Report! Urgent MI 100,000 urgent! A messenger quickly rushed into the barracks: "One of the enemy troops appeared in the rear of our army, they cut off our supply routes, and our food transport troops were completely wiped out!" β
"What!" Zhang Qi exclaimed.
After the Linghui Army entered the party, it had secretly sent hundreds of spies to investigate everywhere, and all the movements of the party in recent days were in Li Hao's hands. So there will be an army behind them, and they don't notice it?
Buhler was well versed in the party's military situation, and immediately said: "There is an army under the Seventh Prince called Feiyi, they are mainly light cavalry, and they can travel hundreds of miles a day. This force is characterized by coming and going without a trace, often detouring behind enemy lines in battle to disrupt supply routes. β
"This Seven Princes is really a talent, even this king has been deceived by him!" Li Hao laughed.
Here are two more messengers running like a tent.
"Lord Wang, on the north and south sides, there are two party troops on each side of the flank of our army, and it seems that they want to surround us!"
"Cut off the grain road, the army is surrounded, this is to force us to death!"
Li Hao sneered and sent off the three messengers.
"Owner, our grain road has been cut off and it is difficult to fight for a long time, and the enemy has a large army to surround us, I am afraid that we will become a trapped beast, for today's plan, we will capture the city as soon as possible and make plans!"
"No!" Li Hao raised his hand to stop the black egg: "Order the army to move ten miles to the southeast into the mountains." β
Saying that, Li Hao turned to Buhler and smiled: "You just asked this king how to capture this city, isn't this a chance?" β
