Cloud China rushed into the city, and the defending army retreated.

The besieging army rushed into the long street, and under the dense rain of arrows under the hood, some people screamed and fell off their horses, some people roared and were pierced by sharp arrows, and barrels of hot oil were poured down, and a fire soon broke out on the long street, and the dense army was engulfed in flames, and countless people fell down screaming.

The entire city of Dali turned into a Shura hell, mercilessly devouring one fresh life after another, and the blood stained the neat ground.

"Don't panic, everyone, listen to my command."

The roar of the besieging generals was drowned out by the loud sound of burning and the sound of collapse all around, and no one could hear his voice, and one by one they went crazy, only out of the sea of fire.

Under the firelight, Jiang Fuguang stood on the high platform, looking at Ji Ruxuan beside him and smiling, the city was smoky and smoky, her jade-like face was stained with a few cigarette ashes, gray and black marks, mixed with sweat stains, her little face was dirty, but she smiled like a flower, delicate and unparalleled.

"We succeeded." She laughs.

Ji Ruxuan snorted, the strategy to lure the enemy was discussed by Jiang Fuguang and the nobles in the city, everything tonight was to confuse Piroye, and cooperate with the detailed workers in the city to play a scene.

The reason why the nobles agreed was not out of trust in Jiang Fuguang, they just wanted to fight, but it really didn't work, they could also catch the eldest princess and negotiate with Piroye.

Piroye was fooled and attacked the city at night.

The nobles set up an ambush in the city, burned half of the city, and left all of Piroyer's 30,000 vanguard troops in the city.

Piroye, who was guarding outside the city, had no smile on his face, it was dark night, the flames in the city were soaring into the sky, dyed red for half the sky, and the billowing black smoke drifted to the outside of the city, and there was a miasma of black smoke everywhere, and the sound of screaming in the city was vaguely transmitted outside the city.

One soldier was seriously wounded and fled to the city gates.

"Your Majesty, there is an ambush, there is an ambush in the city, and as soon as our men rush into the city, they fall into an ambush, and suddenly a large area of fire breaks out in the city, and the vanguard army is trapped in the ...... of the sea of fire."

Without saying a word, an iron arrow flew out of nowhere and drove into his neck, and his eyes widened, and he threw himself off his horse.

"Withdraw, retreat."

As soon as Piroye's roar fell, a dense rain of arrows shot down from the city walls, and the whole army, which was ready to attack the city, immediately retreated in a hurry.

Piroye knew that he had been fooled, and laughed angrily: "The nobles in the city united with the eldest princess to play a drama of luring the enemy deep and inviting the king into the urn, not hesitating to destroy half of the city, but also to annihilate all my 30,000 elites, okay, the eldest princess is really courageous and courageous." ”

Garo's face was terrified: "Father, should we continue the siege?" ”

"Siege?" The bruises on Piroye's forehead jumped violently, "Now the city has been reduced to a sea of fire!" How else are we going to attack the city? Did you go in and bake yourself alive? ”

Jia Luoyi did not dare to speak, as soon as the 130,000 army attacked the city, they lost 30,000, during this time, they attacked the city every day, and suffered heavy casualties every day, and today they lost 30,000 elites, and now they only have more than 50,000 people left.

Can you really capture Dali City?

"Don't let them close the gates."

Piroye was unwilling to retreat, looked at the surging tongue of fire, and shouted, "The eldest princess is ruined, how many people are left in the city now?" The rain of arrows from the castle tower is not dense, and we have a chance to attack it......"

"Brothers, give it to me!"

"Kill ten enemies, and reward one hundred taels of silver."

"Garith's reinforcements are almost here."

Morale was boosted, and the army of Yun China quickly rushed towards the city gate......

The defenders rushed to the gates, pushed them hard, and shouted: "Quick, close the gates, don't let them in." ”

The two sides formed a tug-of-war.

Jiang Fuguang's face was solemn, and he looked at the defenders who were struggling to push the door: "Piroye really didn't retreat, we will plan it, break the cauldron and sink the boat, open the city gate, and invite you to enter the urn. ”

The gates are already open, and it's hard to close them again.

Piroye lost another 30,000 elite soldiers, the number of troops is insufficient, if he retreats today, if he wants to break through Dali City again, it will be even more difficult, and he will not give up the opportunity to break through the city gate.

By this time, he had become a gambler.

The more you lose, the more you want to gamble, thinking that you still have a chance to win back the gambling book with interest.

Piroye released rumors in the city, inciting people's hearts, the people of Dali City are impetuous, the situation is unstable, it is a matter of time before they are disintegrated from the inside, the Qi family army has not arrived for a long time, rather than waiting for Piroye to attack the city in a big way, it is better for them to take the initiative to lure the enemy deep and fight.

The current fire in the city will surely slow down Piroye's offensive......

The entire Dali city has become an urn city, and they set up ambushes everywhere in the city, not knowing if they can stop Piroye.

Jiang Fuguang gritted his teeth: "Success or failure is here." ”

Ji Ruxuan lowered his eyes: "There are more than 20,000 people in the city defenders, and there are more than 5,000 nobles and private soldiers, and there are 30,000 people in total, all of them are ambushed in the city, and there are more than 10,000 young and strong people in the city. ”

The people of the city were settled in the west of the city, where the fire zone was isolated so that the fire would not affect them.

Everyone was willing to follow Jiang Fuguang to go crazy, because Jiang Fuguang said to them: "Instead of giving your life to someone else's master, it is better to fight yourself, if we can't stop Piroye, you will arrest me, threaten Piroye with my life, and let Piroye give up slaughtering the city, which can be regarded as a way out." ”

"Two possibilities."

"One, Piroye kept his promise not to slaughter the city, and you can survive."

"The second is that Piroye rebelled and ordered the slaughter of the city, and I will die with you."

"Either way, it can't be worse than outright surrender."

"What are you going to choose?"

In order to express his sincerity, Jiang Fuguang took the initiative to put on a pair of shackles under his feet, saying that he would not escape, the shackles made of fine iron weighed more than 30 catties, and it was difficult to even walk, even the black knife in Ji Ruxuan's hand could not cut it off.

Jiang Fuguang turned his head to look at him: "We can win!" ”

She wasn't really sure.

Ji Ruxuan smiled, looked at the shackles under her feet, and a sense of anger appeared in his eyes, he really felt that the defenders were too vegetable.

An ordinary county-level city, there are about 20,000 soldiers and horses to survive, occupying the advantage of defending the city, in the case of sufficient materials, at least able to resist about 100,000 soldiers and horses, and hold the city for about half a month, enough to support the reinforcements of the state city.

And a state-level city, at most, is only 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses, which can almost withstand an army of more than 100,000 people, besiege the city for more than a month, and wait for the nearest garrison.

Of course, this is in the case of perseverance. (End of chapter)
