Chapter 1217

The news of Gongsun Zan's defeat had not yet been sent back to Luoyang, so Huangfu Chaobo didn't know about it. However, even if he knew it, he could only sigh to himself. Then he called back Zhao Yun's troops and told his allies to retreat. In fact, no matter Zhao yunbu's army or Heishan's army, in the face of the Wei state, the effect of disturbing the enemy was limited.

……

Under the eldest son City, Tian Yu, who had rested all night, had led the army to the city again, ready to launch an attack on the most prosperous and solid city in Shangdang. However, before the attack, Hao Meng's head and general's flag, as well as the flag of the six thousand soldiers of the Zhao army, and the more than three thousand soldiers who were captured, were all used by Tian Yu.

As expected, the appearance of these things made the garrison in the city panic. You know, the bravery of the Tang army is famous all over the world. At that time, the king of Zhao United several princes to besiege Luoyang, but in the end, he failed to capture Luoyang. In recent years, the Tang army has won almost every battle, with few defeats, which makes all countries fear.

Today, the most elite 5000 soldiers in the eldest son's city and the 1000 cavalry guards of the Duwei are wrapped in dumplings by the Tang army outside the city. Even the Duwei himself is beheaded. Nearly half of the 6000 elite soldiers are beheaded on the spot, and the rest of them are captured, but none of them has escaped the net. How can the soldiers of prefectures and states who are far less powerful than these elite soldiers be embarrassed by this result? What's more, at 200 steps outside the South Gate of the eldest son's city, nearly 3000 elite soldiers who died in the war are lying on the ground, occupying several acres of land. How can such a scene not frighten the soldiers on the tower.

Fortunately, Tian Yu didn't cut off the heads of these dead soldiers and put them in Jingguan. Otherwise, the scene would be more frightening. Of course, if he did so, it might also arouse the intention of the garrison in the city to fight to the death. The most important thing is that Huangfu Chaobo always lost to the Tang soldiers, that is, the soldiers who died in the battlefield are respected, and no one can profane them at will They.

Looking at the performance of the city guard, Tian Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the army to attack the city.

With the sound of battle drums, the soldiers who had already been ready began to approach the direction of the city. At the front of them were nearly 4000 soldiers of Zhao who were captured. Each of them was carrying bags full of soil and ran towards the moat in front of the city wall. With thousands of captives, Tian Yu will not use his own civilian men and auxiliary soldiers to fill the moat. If these captives want to get rid of their status as captives, they must show his role.

Although Zhang Yang and the city's generals tried their best to maintain it, the moat outside the city was still under the efforts of thousands of prisoners. It took only half a day to bury dozens of channels in the three directions of southeast, West and East. Among these prisoners, those who performed well were promoted to be managers of these prisoners, large and small.

On the top of the city, Zhang Yang looked at the soldiers in front of him with some frustration. He also asked himself in his heart, is he wrong? Do you know that all the elite soldiers have come out like this since he has been in the army for nearly 20 years? However, the performance of these soldiers in front of Zhang Yang's eyes really made him confused. Before he formally took over the battle, the 11000 soldiers and horses in the city were only as good as their own 1000 bodyguards, and the other 10000 soldiers were all afraid of the enemy.

The five thousand soldiers were OK. They were able to shoot the prisoners of the Zhao army who were responsible for filling the river under the city. However, the five thousand newly recruited soldiers were almost terrified by the three thousand corpses of the Zhao army outside the city. Looking at the current situation, Zhang Yang is very worried about whether these new recruits will escape in the next ant attack.

Tian Yu looked up at the sky outside the South Gate of the eldest son's city and at the middle army of the Tang army. Now it's almost noon, he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and prepare to let the army have a good meal. After that, he began to attack the city in the afternoon, and the three walls attacked together, because there was not much time left for him to waste. If he could not capture the eldest son as soon as possible, he would have to give up the eldest son and turn to the new one Head south, take the army into the Shangdang territory and then turn back to attack the city, only in this way, the loss of the Tang army will be multiplied.

Tian Yu was confident that he would enter the eldest son city after the first World War. Xiang knew that the worst soldiers in his hand were the elite soldiers of the Tang army, and there were nearly 10000 of the most elite guards. These were special arms. However, there were only 10000 frightened soldiers in the eldest son city. The difference between the two was self-evident. Among the ten thousand garrisons in the eldest son's city, five thousand are new recruits who have just been recruited. This is the first time for these people to go to the battlefield, let alone go to the city to defend the enemy. It's very good not to help the city.

So in the afternoon, Tian Yu planned to encircle the three walls and attack the three walls in the southeast and the west, and then left the north. Of course, once the war goes well, 3000 cavalry will ambush outside the north gate. Only when Zhang Yang and Zhu people escape from the city, 3000 cavalry will be their nightmare.

With the order of Tian Yu, thousands of Tang soldiers carried the siege ladder and launched an attack towards the city wall. Behind them were several siege hammers, and then slowly approaching the well and the stone throwing machine. Although the number was small, there was continuous rain of arrows and the stone throwing machine removed from the sky from time to time For the morale of the garrison at the head of the city, it was not a small blow.

Although there is no stone throwing machine in the city to fight back outside the city, because of its poor accuracy, it has little effect on the equipment outside the city.However, the garrison at the head of the city was not strong, but it was defending, while the Tang army was attacking. In one afternoon, the Tang army launched two rounds of attacks on the city, but they were all blocked by Zhang Yang's Pro guard camp. However, the price paid was that the pro guard camp lost more than half of the total. Compared with the Tang army, the ordinary garrison soldiers lost even more. There is no way to do this. The gap between the soldiers of the two sides lies here. Even with Zhang Yang's decades of experience in fighting, there is nothing he can do. one can't make bricks without straw!

One day's war made Lu Zhong very angry. After the second round of attack was repulsed, Lu Zhong directly asked Tian Yu for an order to personally lead the siege, but Tian Yu refused. He had seen that although the defenders had already repulsed their two rounds of attack, they were at the end of the storm.

With Tian Yu's command, the soldiers of Tang army slowly retreated to the camp several miles away. Looking at the soldier Zhao's death at the head of the city, Tian Yu said in his heart: "give you another night. Before noon tomorrow, you will certainly enter the city. Zhang Yang, you just wait!"
