Chapter 125: Tang Fu Meets the Siege of Tao Temple
Tang Bo and Tang Hai had just left Taosi City with their soldiers, and the shadow guards hiding in the shadows hurriedly brought the news back to White Bird City.
In the evening, Li Chengzhou got the news.
"Since they're on the move, let's go too!"
"Hurry up and inform the generals, gather the army early tomorrow morning, let the soldiers have a good rest tonight, we must quickly take Taosi City and surprise them."
The next day, the Tang soldiers of White Bird City quickly assembled and prepared early outside the city.
At the same time, a thousand people were also recruited to travel with the army in a baggage cart.
It was the soldiers of Sanmiao City who stayed behind, and they cast envious glances at the soldiers on the field.
The Tang army marched towards Taosi City, and at this time Tang Bo and Tang Hai had already arrived in the forest outside Hongshan City and had created a considerable number of siege equipment.
Taking advantage of the cooler morning, Tang Bo and Tang Hai walked out of the forest with the soldiers. Prepare a wave to take down Red Mountain City.
The soldiers guarding the city saw a large number of people pouring out of the city, and hurriedly called Tang Fu.
Tang Fu was dumbfounded when he saw the situation outside, why were there so many soldiers?
He only has 3,000 soldiers in Hongshan City, plus 1,000 defenders, it is difficult to defend so many people.
And the other side looks menacing, not like it is easy to talk, this battle is more auspicious.
At this time, he saw two large banners in the enemy army: Bo and Hai.
"These two dogs are colluding together. My father wasn't dead yet, and they were so reckless. ”
"Come on, hurry up and mobilize the people to help defend the city."
Arrange for his soldiers to go down and urgently mobilize soldiers to go to the city wall to defend the city.
Then Tang Fu came to the city gate tower alone and shouted loudly.
"Two younger brothers, is there anything you can't sit down and discuss? Your father has not yet returned to the West, and you are so presumptuous? Now that my father is resting in the council chamber, aren't you afraid of being angry with my father by doing this? ”
Tang Bo and Tang Hai walked out of the soldiers. Looking at the eldest brother Tang Fu on the city wall.
"Big brother, we heard that you put your father under house arrest, you let us go in to see our father, or let my father come out to see us."
"Father is seriously ill in bed now, how can he come out to see you?"
"Then you let us go in and see our father, otherwise you will definitely put my father under house arrest."
"I said that I can't see it, so you come in and see, come! In. ”
Tang Fu asked his subordinates to open the door.
Tang Bo Tang Hai didn't dare to enter when he saw the open city gate, so he asked his own teacher, how could he just go in like this?
"We have to bring our troops in, or you'll frame us!"
"What am I framing you? Come on, come on, let you bring in today, and say in advance that you can only bring your own guards in. ”
Tang Bo and Tang Fu agreed with their mouths, and then walked forward with their guards.
As they reached the door, the two men suddenly took the shields of the guards next to them, turned around and ran back, and the guards rushed to the open gate.
A thousand of the soldiers in the formation had already left the formation and headed towards the open gates, and nearly two thousand men from each of the four directions of the city wall headed towards the city gates with ladder battering rams.
"You two villains!"
"Big brother, it's clear that you were going to shoot us with a bow and arrow first, and we ran away, and you let us in definitely to frame us."
"Nonsense!" Tang Fu couldn't be angry, because the soldiers were already rushing to the bottom of the city, and there were a thousand soldiers defending each wall.
Seeing that the soldiers coming towards the city gate were getting closer and closer, the guards who rushed into the city gate entangled the guards at the city gate and could not close the city gate for a while.
Tang Fu jumped off the city wall with his weapons, and with Tang Fu's leadership, the morale of the soldiers doubled, and the entangled guards were defeated and retreated.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”
Tang Fu beckoned the soldiers on the city wall to fire arrows at the enemy troops outside the city.
The guards were suddenly in a chaotic formation, and Tang Fu led the soldiers to push them out in one go.
The soldiers withdrew and hurriedly closed the city gates.
The soldiers pushed the city gate, and when they saw that the city gate was about to close, a corpse was stuck in the middle and could not be closed, so they hurriedly dragged the corpse in.
At this moment the soldiers from outside arrived, and put their hands into the crack in the door, not wanting the gate to be closed.
Tang Fu slashed down with a knife and cut off the hand that reached into the door directly.
Soldiers outside the gates screamed.
Tang Fu hurriedly led people to close the city gate tightly.
"These people don't preach morality at all!"
"Prince! We only conscripted a thousand or so soldiers, and the rest refused to help us. ”
"Well, that's reasonable."
Tang Bo Tanghai outside the city was also surprised, but he didn't expect the other side to close the city gate in time.
"All on, onslaught!"
The first wave of the Bohai coalition army reached 8,000 people, and in order to show their sincerity, the first wave of people were all Tanghai people.
There were two thousand men on all four walls, and they had approached the walls with ladders.
"Let those newly recruited people pile up earth and stones at the city gates, so that ™ the battering ram will not work, and we can defend the walls with peace of mind."
However, the soldiers who emerged from the city walls were also difficult to solve.
After all, one soldier has to face two soldiers.
Tang Fu walked up to the city wall and fought the enemy with the soldiers, wherever he went, the morale would be a little stronger, but the morale of the soldiers besieging the city became lower and lower as time passed.
Tang Hai's staff suggested.
"Prince, you should go up and fight with the soldiers, so that the morale is high, and you can take the Red Mountain City in one go."
"You're trying to send us to death? Tang Fu's force is so strong, if he sees the two of us attacking the city with the army, he will definitely target the two of us! ”
"That's it! Let's fight like this, 8,000 men will definitely be able to take it down. ”
The staff shook their heads, and stopped talking.
Tang Fu let go of an opening, withdrew the soldiers on the city wall, and tricked the soldiers into entering the city.
The Bohai coalition army found that a gap had been lost, and hurriedly rushed towards it, but what they saw when they went up was not the enemy who had fled in all directions, but the dense spear tips, which were stabbed one after another.
The soldiers who were not stabbed to death were in a hurry to go down through the ladder, and there was only one way to die if they remained on the city wall.
The soldiers who wanted to go down were wrapped around the soldiers who were on the ladder and retreated, and the soldiers who wanted to go down did not think about retreating, but because of their actions, the soldiers around them all ran towards the back, and the soldiers on the other three sides saw the soldiers on this side retreating, thinking that there was another order to retreat, and they didn't want to fight, so they all retreated.
"Why withdraw? Who withdrew? ”
Tang Bo Tang Hai was very angry, but it was to no avail, the defeat was like a mountain, this was no longer something he could decide with a word.
