Chapter 505: Three Ways to Advance

A military town fifty miles outside Pingbei City, where 5,000 troops of the Zidi Army were stationed, and in the next few important towns, there were almost 3 to 5,000 troops stationed.

The total number of important towns in this area is about 20,000 people, and there are several important towns in the other direction, and the combined strength is about 20,000 people.

With the addition of 10,000 people in Pingbei City, there are 60,000 people, and the remaining 50,000 people are stationed in several other places that border with the Gao Dynasty.

The reason why most of the troops are stationed here is because there is Pingbei City, an important border city, which is also considered a military stronghold.

Once Pingbei City is broken, it is almost considered to open the gate of Jinbei Prefecture, and it is possible to use Pingbei City as a springboard at any time, and then directly advance to the entire Jinbei Prefecture.

The left and right armies of the Gao Dynasty faced the military town in front of them at this time, their faces full of contempt and disdain. It was too simple for an army of 60,000 to defeat a military town of 5,000 men.

The main generals of the two armies are respectively, the left army is Su Gaiwen, and the right general is called Li Changzhi.

Su Gaiwen and Li Changzhi chose the most direct way of attack, that is, to attack the military town head-on and directly seize this military town with violence.

Su Gavin sent 5,000 men to attack the town, and the height of the city in front of him was only three meters, which was the first important town to be established before. Most of them are made of earth and stone, and it is too easy to conquer them.

The 5,000 men, mostly infantry, rushed under the city walls with siege ladders on their backs. He was followed by the archers of the High Dynasty.

There are also trebuchets behind the army, which are also ready to launch a stone-throwing attack on the children in the city at any time.

On the city wall, a regimental-level officer looked at the Gao Dynasty soldiers rushing in front of him, his eyes were cold, and there was a calm killing intent in it.

Even if the soldiers there looked like they were all in number, there were tens of thousands of them, and he was the only one of the soldiers in the important town.

Five thousand men had a huge disadvantage in terms of strength against an enemy who was more than ten times the number on the opposite side, but he did not worry at all.

Because, the weapons on his side are not large in number, so they can take advantage of them. It wasn't until those Gao Dynasty troops had seen the weapons of the Zidi Army that they knew what despair was.

In addition to the 5,000 men stationed in the city, a total of 5,000 reinforcements have been sent to several important towns in the rear. These reinforcements were used to cut off the rear route of the Gao Dynasty army.

At this time, reinforcements should be almost behind the enemy.

The Right Route Army on the other side is also preparing to directly bulldoze the military town in front of it in an extremely simple way.

The battle also started at the same time, and the army quickly pushed to a distance of 100 meters in front of the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall looked coldly at the enemy below, without the slightest panic in their eyes, and they were calm anyway.

By the time the enemy had rushed to a distance of fifty meters, the officers on the walls gave the order to attack.

In an instant, the gunfire was loud, and the enemy who had just rushed to the city wall could not react, and suddenly fell in a large area. Pieces were shot by the soldiers on the way to the charge.

At the same time, from the important town, a whistling cannonball sounded, and then, directly fell on the trebuchet position behind the Gao Dynasty army.

The loud explosion immediately caused a lot of confusion on the trebuchet, and most of the trebuchets were blown up. The slingers hadn't understood what was happening.

The main general at the head saw that the trebuchet position was half blown up in an instant, and his eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief. He couldn't believe it was true.

He was still thinking that the trebuchet would wait until it was important to use it, and it was best to wait until the attack battle started and the resistance on the city wall was strong, and the sudden intervention of the trebuchet would greatly demoralize the enemy army.

But unexpectedly, it was they who suffered a demoralization, and his trebuchet did not even throw a stone.

What made him even more unbelievable was that the siege force under his command, 5,000 people, died inexplicably and wonderfully two or three thousand people in just a short moment.

The rest fled in fright, but as soon as they reached the road, an explosion sounded among them, which exploded them straight away.

Five thousand people, in total, took less than ten minutes to wipe out the entire army. He thought he was wrong. Eyes full of shock!

Also shocked was the commander of the Right Route Army, who also adopted the same strategy, originally thought that the army in front of him would definitely be wiped out by them.

But who would have thought that before the battle began, he lost more than 5,000 people. The trebuchet was completely ruined. Such a situation left him with only fear in his heart.

He was still full of confidence before, and he was arrogant that he could definitely make the children cry for their father and mother, and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy.

But when they turned their heads, they cried and cried for their mother, and they were afraid that they would be the ones who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and 5,000 people died so quickly, no matter how many people they sent forward, it would be a dead end.

For the first time, he found that he knew so little about the Zidi Army, was this really the Zidi Army! Is it the army of the children who were detected in their intelligence?

They didn't even meet the face of the children's army, and they had already suffered heavy losses.

The two main generals were so shocked that they no longer dared to attack the city casually, how could they attack such a military town?!

Not to mention how many people there were in the city, when that strange weapon could kill his soldiers inexplicably, it was enough to make all the soldiers fearful.

The two main generals pondered hard and thought about countermeasures, they must not be stumped here, their Emperor Majesty is still waiting for them to uproot the military towns around Pingbei City, and go over to meet them.

Thinking of this, the two generals decided to fight back against the walls again, this time, they wanted to block them with their shields. They thought that the strange weapons of the children were similar to bows and arrows, and as long as there was something in front of them, they would definitely not be able to hurt them.

Another group of 5,000 people attacked under the city wall, and they were also 5,000 people attacking the city, and the two main generals were worthy of being from the Gao Dynasty. The combat intentions are almost the same.

At first, the shield soldiers quickly approached the city wall under the cover of their shields, but this time, the children on the city wall did not attack them.

This made the hearts of the two main generals very happy, they thought that the shield had worked, and although the weapons of the subordinate army were strange, there was still a way to crack them.

The shield is the nemesis of that strange weapon, thinking of this, the two main generals were overjoyed, they decided to strike while the iron was hot, and hurriedly added 5,000 siege soldiers.

They want to take down the important town in front of them in a short period of time.
