A whop on the head
Although Wu Ben had already ascended to the top of the city, after all, there were few people, Liang Jun still reacted.
The spear array was assembled, and it was pushed over, the Tang army could not gain a foothold, and some brave people rushed forward with spears, but the individual martial arts were somewhat insignificant in front of the formed array.
Several people were immediately stabbed to death.
No matter how strong the armor is, it can't stop the thorns of dozens of spears.
A member of the white armor Liang will appear at the head of the city with his own soldiers, and the sword battle is in the fiercest place, the morale of the Liang army is greatly boosted, and the Wu Ben on the southern city is pushed down.
Li Ye felt distressed for a while, Wu Ben was the essence of the Tang Army, a veteran of previous wars, only one step away from the generals, and more than 30 people were lost in just one round.
And that's just one Puzhou.
The battle can't be fought like this, if the most courageous Wu Ben is seriously attritional, it will be too big a blow to morale.
After a short time, Gao Xingzhou's depressed leader returned to the camp, and it seemed that he knew that the siege was unfavorable, and he was ashamed.
"The white armor general is Xu Huaiyu." Gao Xingzhou fought him last night.
Xu Huaiyu stood on the south city wall, looking down at the Tang army camp, two consecutive battles, still standing tall, like a rock, casting a shadow in Li Ye's heart, with this person, Puzhou is afraid that it will be difficult to capture.
I didn't expect the first battle to be so difficult.
Before breaking through Fengxiang, Longzhou and other fortified cities, relying on the Tang Emperor's signboard, Guanzhong's fathers and children still recognize this signboard, but the Guandong and Tang Dynasty are separated from Germany, and the signboard is not so easy to use, otherwise it will not cause the Pang Xun Rebellion and the Huangchao Uprising.
"The losses of the assault are too great for me to afford to consume." Li Ye sighed.
Li Juchuan said: "Our army can capture all the small cities around Puzhou, making it a lonely city, the auxiliary army harasses day and night, the offensive is in me, can Xu Huaiyuan hold it for a long time?" “
"That's all there is to it."
For five consecutive days, the Tang army continued to attack the city, virtual and real, the auxiliary army was sandwiched between the soldiers, and the soldiers were mixed with Wu Ben, and they attacked the Puzhou city wall many times, each time they were in the lead of Xu Huaiyu to save the day.
Li Ye's mood gradually fell to the bottom, if Puzhou is so difficult to fight, there will be Xizhou and Luoyang behind.
They are all famous fortified cities.
Just when Li Ye was discouraged, the scout came to report that Yang Shihou broke through Hezhong Mansion and captured Zhu Youwen alive.
When I heard the good news, I was anxious for more than half of the time.
Ordered someone to spread the good news to the whole army, and the morale of the Tang army gradually rose.
"Your Majesty, Xu Huaiyu is an unknown person in the Liang army, and the last general is not talented, if you can't take Puzhou today, come and see you!" Gao Xingzhou's face was dark, and he didn't know if it was from the sun or depressed.
Young people are inevitably competitive.
The Tang army fought in Puzhou for many days, but it was still unable to conquer it, and Yang Shihou had 10,000 partial divisions, and easily captured the city.
Zhu Youwen's status is noble, but his ability to lead troops is definitely not as good as Xu Huaiyu's.
Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and many famous Liang generals, such as Li Si'an and Shi Shucong, Li Ye feels that it is nothing more than that, and it is not as strong as Zhang Guihou.
Xu Huaiyu's reputation is not obvious, and his defense of the city is remarkable.
Zhu Wen put him in Puzhou, which can be regarded as knowing people and making good use of them.
"Our army has been tired of the enemy for many days, and we can launch a general attack." Under the sun, Li Juchuan seemed to have been dried, like bean sprouts, and became thinner and thinner.
In the past few days, although he was trying to exhaust the enemy, the morale of the Tang army was gradually declining, and even Li Ye subconsciously felt that Puzhou could not be captured.
Even he is like this, not to mention the soldiers below, who know that it is not a way to go on like this.
"Good! The destruction of the city is today! “
At noon, Puzhou City finally ushered in a rare trace of tranquility.
In addition to the ubiquitous heat in the air, there was also a dullness, and I don't know when the sound of cicadas stopped.
Knock, knock, knock......
When the sun had just deviated from the middle of the sky, the majestic drums sounded in the camp of the Tang Army.
The sound shook the heavens and the earth, and also shook the hearts of the people.
The entire city of Puzhou seemed to tremble to the sound of this drum.
A large flock of flying birds rose from the Luliang Mountains in the north, roared in fear in the cloudless sky, swept over Puzhou City, and flew towards the secluded Taihang Mountains in the east.
With such a great river and mountain, as a man, how can he not be ambitious?
In the sound of drums, Li Ye swept away the gloom in his heart.
Xin Shilang was carrying a large shield and a heavy axe specially made for him around his waist, "Haha, send me early, Puzhou will take it for a long time." “
The four hundred guards behind him burst into laughter, ignoring the impending war as if it were nothing.
"Shiro brags about his kung fu, and this is heard by General Gao, so I have to teach you a lesson!" Xue Guangheng, who was guarding Li Ye's side, was full of envy.
"Phew, Ben was going to be afraid of him?" Xin Shiro was crazy and boundless.
"It's okay, it's almost done, just wait and don't embarrass me."
"Hey, Your Majesty is relieved." Xin Shilang laughed dryly, carried the shield and went up.
In such weather, the tired enemy for many days, even if the Liang army was beaten with iron, could not stand it, compared to a few days ago, it was obviously much more tired, and the stones and arrows looked weak.
Under the siege of the Tang army on all sides, the city of Puzhou was crumbling.
There is only one Xu Huaiyu, and the elite of the Tang Army is exhausted, Gao Xingzhou, Tuoba Yungui, Xin Shilang, Li Sizhou and a series of young generals who are in their prime.
They are eager to make meritorious contributions and rebuild the glorious Tang Dynasty that Li Ye built in Zhongyi Hall.
One hundred and thirty years, the decline has been too long, and it has been forgotten.
The only thing that can awaken the memory of this nation is blood.
The sun sank into the western horizon, the golden sunset cast on the city wall of Puzhou, the banner of "Liang" was cut down under the city, and the banner of "Tang" was waved in the evening breeze.
"Hooray! Banzai! Tens of thousands of Tang troops on the city wall shouted hard.
Li Ye's heart was relieved.
Before he could rejoice for a while, a fire broke out in the city, and black smoke filled the air.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Liang Jun also shouted.
The war is far from over.
This is the situation that Li Ye is most afraid of, and the casualties in street battles are far greater than those in siege battles.
Li Ye climbed the city wall, Puzhou City was in flames, fires were burning in many places, and the smell of burnt food seemed to rise in the smoke.
Li Juchuan's face sank, "It's not good, Liang Jun is burning grain!" “
Li Ye's eyes darkened, "Save the food!" “
This trick is too vicious, there is no food, and the meaning of Puzhou is half gone.
Long before he gave the order, the Tang army turned into dozens of units and took the capital as a unit to clear the remnants of the city.
The people in the city were almost all over when Zhu Wen came last time, and the rest were some young and strong, organized by the Liang army, holding a spear, without a piece of armor, and standing timidly in front of the formation.
In front of the murderous Tang Army, Qing Zhuang couldn't support it after all, no matter how Liang Jun scolded and beat him behind him, he threw down his weapon and ran.
The Liang army could not stop it.
Most of the Liang army lined up in front of the burning granary, stubbornly resisting the advance of the Tang army.
Although it was a matter of time before Puzhou was defeated, looking at the flames that ignited, Li Ye's heart was dripping blood.
Originally, I thought that Xu Huaiyu would not be able to do such a gentle name, and everything in front of him gave Li Ye a blow to the head.
There are no flukes in war, everything is done.
The act of burning grain, Xu Huaiyu deserves to die.
