Chapter 1254

Under the protection of thousands of cavalry, Tian Yu, Pang Tong and Hua Xiong looked at the city in front of them. It was more like a pass than a city.

Dingyang city is a strip-shaped city with east-west direction. It is about five li long from east to west and less than two Li wide from north to south. The north side of the city is close to the mountain ridge of rulingou, the south side is linzhenchuan, which is about ten Zhang wide, and the south side of linzhenchuan is close to the mountain ridge in the south.

After getting the news of the Tang army's attack, the remaining king immediately asked people to build an army array on the mountain ridge of rulingou in the north to prevent the Tang army from bypassing the mountain ridge to attack the west gate of dingyang city.

The wall of dingyang city is about two feet high. After the emergency heightening and widening of the remaining king, it has increased by five feet, reaching a height of two feet and five feet. As for the width, it is far more than that of Hukou Town, reaching nearly three feet wide. Outside the city wall, a moat about several feet wide was excavated in the East, West and North, and linzhenchuan was directly used as the moat in the south.

Looking at the city which is not a pass, but is better than a pass, Rao Shitian Yu's calmness also made him speechless for a long time. To such an extent, it is comparable to a medium-sized pass like Hangu pass, and there are nearly 50000 or 60000 people and about 20000 or 30000 troops in it. If you want to capture this city, you have to spend a lot of energy.

"My mother, is this the county seat? How many soldiers will it take to capture such a city? " Hua Xiong also murmured to one side;

"it's less than two Li wide and nearly three Zhang high. If this city wants to capture it, it will lose a lot!" He dares to attack no matter how much he loses Tian Yu was silent for a long time. "General Dugu, look around carefully to see if you can use the dig attack!"

"Order the army to retreat five li to camp and prepare the siege equipment. Since the rebels of Shangjun want to fight against us here, they will be defeated here. Follow your example!" Tian Yu flatly ordered,

"no!" When the generals heard the words, they were all in a daze and immediately responded to their orders.

as soon as the words were finished, Tian Yu turned his horse and headed for the camp chosen by the army, and the generals all pulled their horses back. Anyway, only the east wall can attack, so there is not much enemy information to explore. It's better to go back early to discuss the way to attack the city.

Although it's siege, there are many ways to use it.

Above the city wall, the people of Jiangshan were also observing the Tang army under the city. When they saw Tian Yu's troops leaving, they were all relieved. All the people on the scene are those who have been fighting against the Tang army for many years. They already know the strength of the Tang army, so even if they are ready, they are still worried.

……

In front of the Zhao palace in Taiyuan, Jinyang, the king of Zhao, Lv Bu was dressed neatly. Chen Gong led the civil and military officials of Zhao state to stand beside Lv Bu. In front of them, 20000 Bingzhou wolf riders were also neat, solemn and quiet.

After last year's war, Bingzhou wolf cavalry lost nearly half. Later, Lu Bu selected more than 4000 elite cavalry from Zhao army and added them to Bingzhou wolf cavalry. He also selected more than 1000 elite blood wolf cavalry from his most elite blood wolf cavalry. All of them joined the ordinary wolf cavalry as middle and low-level officers. He expanded the ordinary wolf cavalry to 15000 cavalry from three schools, while the blood wolf cavalry left one Five thousand cavalry of the school are used as king cavalry of the guard.

"It's hard for the Prime Minister of the state to make peace with the ministers in the affairs of the state." Lu Bu looked at the 20000 wolf riders in front of him with satisfaction, and then turned his head to see all the people in the palace of Chen.

"please rest assured that Wei Chen and others will do their best to keep the foundation for the king, and spare no effort." Chen Gong quickly bowed to reply;

Lu Bu nodded and looked at the other humanitarians: "after going out alone, all the important affairs in the country are decided by the prime minister. If you have any objection, you must take orders first, and then play to Gu Chen afterwards. You can remember!"

"Wait for me to take orders!" The rest of the people immediately replied;

Chen Gong was moved to tears and knelt down and said, "the king trusts me, but I don't think I can repay you. I can only repay you with my death. Please rest assured that if I lose my kingdom, I will serve you with this head!"

"The head of the prime minister should be kept by himself. Although it's easy to kill, I don't like to collect it." With that, Lu Bu made a joke with Chen Gong. "Well, prime minister, is there anything in return from the state of Yan?"

"King Hui, everything was as expected. Although King Yan wanted to send troops to help, the news that king Qi had gathered troops spread to Jicheng. King Yan had to order most of the troops to return to Jicheng to prevent the Qi army from attacking. He only sent ten thousand troops of Xuanwu battalion to Shanggu to support them. After entering Juyong Pass, the ten thousand troops stopped and did not enter Shanggu county City JuYang

"Good. Are there any changes in the rest of the soldiers?" Lu Bu nodded and asked again;

"everything is normal!" Just then, an official reported, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come!"

"Well, I'll send out my troops here. I've worked so hard for you Hearing this, Lu Bu quickly went up to the red rabbit horse, lifted his cape, turned over to the horse, picked up his painting halberd, waved to the north and said, "let's go!"

Chen Gong quickly led a group of civil and military officials to kneel down on the ground and said in a loud voice: "congratulations to the king, I wish him a victory! It's a long way to go"I wish you success! It's a long way to go

"I wish you success! It's a long way to go

……

Outside dingyang City, Tian Yu led the generals into the big tent that had been prepared. He went to the throne and sat down. After all the generals sat down, he said, "strategist, generals, let's talk about how to attack this city."

"General Dugu, tell me first!"

General Dugu is Dugu Ba, one of the three brothers of Dugu. Now the Tang army is known all over the world, so Huangfu Chaobo didn't want to hide them as a mace. According to his idea, the army will eventually be expanded to one battalion and three schools, that is, the three Dugu brothers will lead one school each, but now they are only expanding it to ten thousand people, so this time they just sent Dugu Ba to lead three thousand troops to help.

Hearing Tian Yu call his name, Dugu Ba quickly got up and said, "report back to general, and finally observed carefully. Although the city is located in the valley, the ground is covered with thick soil. If you expect it to be right, there are more than ten feet under the soil, and then there will be hard stones. So it should be suitable for digging, but the specific situation is different Please give the general another half day. We need to examine carefully before we have a final conclusion! "
