According to the records of "Zuo Chuan" and "Historical Records", at that time, it took at least five times as many troops to attack the city, but the invention of gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty and the development of the Song and Ming dynasties made it enough to attack the city three times as many times as the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, at this moment, it coincides with the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty, although there is a deviation due to the chaos of time and space, but the general direction has not changed much. And Su Li, after some hard work, still raised the defenders of Xicheng to the four thousand people he expected.

The 4,000 defenders of the west city of Suli did occupy a more favorable situation against the 8,000 elites of the Ancient Yilou, but what kind of results this can form still needs to be tested by practice, otherwise it will inevitably fall into the situation of talking on paper.

There were faint beads of sweat between Su Li's eyebrows, this battle was originally to eat away at part of the Guyi Building's living combat power, so as to control the situation in the overall situation, and wait for the reinforcements from the Jiuyuan Pavilion to arrive.

"Su Li, when do you have to wait, if you don't do it, all of us will be buried with you!" Bai Di said with a slightly angry face.

"Yes, I feel that the people in Gu Yilou are already within three hundred steps......" Wu Yue said with a bitter face, he thought to himself that this is broken, this masked is really unreliable.

Su Li shook his head, he was actually more nervous than anyone else, "No, it's not enough, if you make a move at this time, the enemy may still have time to escape, since I have made up my mind to make a move, I have to make the other party have nowhere to parry, and at the same time, I have no power to escape!" The determination in his eyes made Bai Di and the others shudder in their hearts.

"Two hundred steps...... Two hundred steps......" Wu Yue finally couldn't hold it back, he just wanted to get up, but was held down by Su Li.

"No...... Wait, listen to me, let's do it together within fifty steps! Su Li stared at Wu Yue's eyes tightly and said sharply.

"Fifty steps? You simply wait for the people of Guyilou to climb the city wall and then defend it! Wu Yue said angrily, "Look at those brothers, not only me, they have long wanted to do it!" ”

Su Li pressed Wu Yue's head to the ground fiercely and said, "Wu Yue, listen to me!" Now is not the time to be angry and empiricist, we have insufficient troops to get the greatest results from this battle! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! ”

This scene fell in the eyes of the soldiers defending the city, and for a while, the somewhat impetuous atmosphere just now finally quieted down again, just imagine, even Wu Yue was carried in his hands by Su Li like a chicken and let him slaughter, not to mention that he was a nobody!

"General, you see, the beacon fire of the entire city has been lit, and it is estimated that the four masters are sending troops to come!" Bai Di patted Su Lidao.

"Within 100 steps!" Wu Yue exclaimed, "My lord......"

"Well done! The timing is just right, it seems that even Zhao Huan can delay a little time. Su Li laughed and said, "Okay, pass my order...... Crossbowmen prepare! ”

"Yes!" Wu Yue was overjoyed, he could finally make a move, and it was a test of his psychological quality for such a long time.

……

Xiao Qingjue was rushing to the forefront at this time, and the joy in his heart was incomprehensible, if he took this opportunity to succeed in the night attack, it would be a great achievement!

"Not good!"

Suddenly, a burst of fire on the tower of the city tower of the west city rushed to the sky, illuminating the people of the ancient tower in fear, in the hunting firelight, countless archers on the city tower were all dressed up, arrows on the string, only to listen to an order!

"Put!"

Countless feather arrows flew through the air, so shocked that the Gu Yilou soldiers in the front row had already fallen before they could react in time, you know, in order to pursue the speed of breaking the city, Xiao Qingjue deliberately let them travel lightly, who knows, this has already been seen through by the other party! Even Xiao Qingjue himself, caught off guard, was shot into the shoulder by a stray arrow, which made him grit his teeth for a while.

"Oh no, we're in an ambush!" This is the portrayal of all the ancient Yilou people's hearts, this time they looked at the city tower again, only to see that the city tower was lit up for a while, the defenders were radiant, their faces were glowing, the crossbow arrows in the city tower wall hole had already been ready to go, and the defenders on the city tower stretched their bows and strings, indicating that the next wave of arrow rain was coming.

Qin Cixuan was also surprised, but he quickly calmed down, as the main general, he understood that now was not the time to regret and guess, now is how to improvise and deal with it is the right thing to do!

Xiao Qingjue looked back at Qin Cixuan, "What should I do?" Are we going to ......" The meaning in his eyes was very obvious that he wanted to retreat, and if he still wanted to attack when the other party was fully prepared, it would undoubtedly be a cruel and severe battle.

Qin Cixuan shook his head categorically and said, "No, if we retreat at five hundred meters or even three hundred meters or two hundred meters, we can still ensure that the formation is not chaotic, and now we are attacked at fifty or sixty paces, if we retreat rashly, it will become a rout, if we are outflanked and attacked by a team of cavalry from the other side at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

In fact, Xiao Qingjue understood Qin Cixuan's meaning very well, the other party was so cunning, he specially waited until he was almost close to the city tower before starting to defend, which greatly shook the confidence of the besiegers, if they retreated at this time, in the actual operation process, it would easily evolve into a rout, even if they were completely annihilated by the enemy, it was not impossible.

"But?" Xiao Qingjue gritted his teeth and pulled out the feather arrow on his shoulder, blood overflowing, and as he spoke, he stretched his bow and arrows on his horse, and shot down a soldier on the city tower with one arrow, so as to stabilize the morale of the army, indicating that his injury was not serious.

"Don't worry, you should have a number in your heart in the last battle, the opponent's strength is only eight thousand, even if they are prepared, the defenders here are only three thousand, kill one less one, our eight thousand elites are pressed together, and we may not lose......" Qin Cixuan's eyes were extremely firm.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you!" Xiao Qingjue turned around and roared violently, shouting loudly, "The army listens to the order, the enemy defenders are not many, at most about three thousand, how can they stop my elite of the Ancient Yi Building?" This time, the first person to stand on the Shaozhou City Tower will have a bounty of one hundred taels! Seal the Commander! ”

Under such an encouragement, the morale that was a little sluggish just now was greatly boosted all of a sudden, and even Qin Cixuan couldn't help nodding secretly, if Wang personally rushed to the front line, then how could the soldiers be disobedient? And this is exactly what he lacks, maybe the landlord sent himself and Xiao Qingjue to come together, it is precisely for this level of consideration.

"Roar! Enter Shaozhou City! ”

……

"Great, Qin Cixuan, I know that with your pride, I don't want to admit my failure." Su Li laughed, "How could you, who thought we only had three thousand people, win this kind of battle!" ”

"Bold, I am the general of Dongcheng, and I am ordered by the four masters to come and seize your military power!"

", I am the general of the North City, hand over the military power and spare you from death!"

", I'm the guard of the southern city, thank you for your assistance when you defended the city last time, but I still have to obey the order of the four masters!"

"Just in time." The sound of one after another was particularly pleasant to hear in Su Li's ears, this was a battle plan to deceive the enemy, and also to deceive his own people, in order to get the defenders in other places, trust alone was not enough, so from the beginning, Su Li planned to do so......
