Chapter 1256

The attack of the Tang army didn't begin until three days later. Of course, during these three days, the Tang army didn't have nothing to do every day. Hua Xiong, the commander of baotao camp, led 10000 Xiliang cavalry to dingyang city every day to invite him to fight. Unfortunately, both the remaining King and the commander Xu Huang didn't hesitate to stick to the city and never fight. Hua Xiong was very depressed and had to be at home on the first day On the second and third day, several loud taxi soldiers were sent to fight in front of the city in turn.

In the Tang army camp, thousands of civilian men and craftsmen have produced more than 100 sets of various instruments, including 20 giant catapults, 30 giant well rims, and dozens of punching cars and other instruments.

What's more, on the night after the meeting, the 3000 tungzi troops under Dugu BA's command had begun to dig tunnels. Because the whole valley was less than two Li wide, Dugu Ba only dug three tunnels at the same time. The 3000 tungzi troops were divided into several waves and began to dig tunnels day and night.

And the 20 soldiers and prisoners from Hukou town have arrived in the camp. With their repeated confirmation, the Tang army finally determined that there are several paths that should be able to go around to the West and north of dingyang City, but these roads are some paths, so they can't walk the army, let alone carry food and grass.

After discussing with the generals, Tian Yu decided to send 3000 to 5000 troops with about ten days' grain to go around the north. If possible, it would be best to occupy the army on the northern ridge. If it doesn't work, it will go directly to the west of dingyang. As long as there are Tang soldiers and soldiers in the west of dingyang, it will be a fatal blow to the morale of Shangjun soldiers and the people.

Originally, Tian Yu meant to send 5000 soldiers to the area, but in the end, under Pang Tong's strong support, he sent out the Iron Eagle soldiers and Yuan army crossbow soldiers of the guards. Then he sent out 1000 elite soldiers from each of the three battalions to form a 5000 person commando. After carrying food for ten days, he set out overnight.

After the departure of the partial division army, the siege of the Tang army had begun. With the command of commander Tian Yu, dozens of catapults attacked dingyang city. At the same time, all the crossbow soldiers on Jinglan began to suppress the enemy in the city.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, who had already been prepared, were escorted by Dadun, carrying the ready bags of cloth and rushing towards the moat of dingyang city. In order to attack dingyang, Tian Yu specially mobilized another 5000 soldiers from Hedong to fill the river in the early stage. There was no way. He could not use his elite soldiers to do these things.

As the catapult and Jinglan began to attack, the battle in dingyang officially began.

On the top of dingyang City, one of Yang Laoliu's troops happened to be guarding the city when the Tang army was attacking the city. At this time, he was hiding behind the battlements, trying to curl up his body together, pulling a shield over the city in his hand and protecting his head. He did not dare to move.

A few days ago, the soldier who was waiting for the Tang army to attack the city in front of him had been hit by a stone bullet falling from the sky in the first round of stone throwing attack. His legs were smashed and broken. He was lying in the city and his hair was more and more weak. But at this time, no one dared to move.

All the old soldiers had caught a best hiding place to avoid the stone bullets from the sky. This kind of time to save people, is undoubtedly their own death, perhaps people did not save, but to build up their own.

Today, it was Yang Laoliu's turn to be on duty. Because the Tang army didn't attack the city in the past few days, only 500 people were left on the top of the city, just Yang Laoliu and his 500 people. Unexpectedly, the Tang army launched an attack at this time.

The tragedy of the city is due to Yang Laoliu's experience of more than ten wars, which makes people feel shocked. At one time, dozens of stone bombs flew to the city wall. Although the accuracy of the catapult was not high, each stone weighed about 10 jin. As long as it was hit, the lucky one would be killed. It's OK. If you were like the unfortunate guy in front of you, you would directly break two legs, and then slowly bleed to death, it would be impossible for people to survive or die.

"Damn, if I survive this war, I will definitely join the Tang army. I was originally from Hedong, but now I am the enemy of Hedong army." Yang Laoliu prayed in his heart that he could avoid the disaster, and cried to himself;

under the cover of the catapult and Jinglan, the guards of the Tang army spent half a day filling out more than ten siege channels in the moat outside dingyang city.

However, even so, the Tang army did not rush to attack the city wall, but continued to pour stone bullets and crossbows into the city, suppressing the garrison in the city. The rest wanted to fight back, but their own catapults couldn't attack the catapults outside the city. Although they also destroyed several Tang army's Jinglan, the catapults inside the city were soon found by the Tang army's catapults, and immediately they were attacked by several rounds of stone bombs.

In desperation, the remaining king had to order the catapult to withdraw from the attack area of the Tang army.

In the city, the leftover is the king. On the nest car after a hundred steps of the city wall, he observes the situation of the war at the head of the city. When he sees that the Allied forces can only be beaten but can't fight back, he is in despair."French military strategist, what should we do in such a situation?"

"There's no way. The weapons of the Tang army are better than those of our coalition army. They should all be huge weapons in their situation, and the best thing for us is just large equipment. Since there's no way to fight back, let him attack. Can they still attack the city with a catapult?" FA Zheng replied calmly;

after listening to this, it is true that the Tang army's weapons are strong, but just like cavalry, can you still climb up the wall. You know, in order to deal with the attack of the Tang army, the remaining King specially strengthened and thickened the wall.

"General yokono, what's the reward for arranging to monitor the taxi soldiers in the tunnel?" FA Zheng suddenly asked;

the Tang army's Tuizi army became famous in the first battle against the Qi army, and easily conquered the two strong cities of the Qi State in succession, which attracted the attention of the world's princes. This also made the Tuizi army appear in the eyes of the world's princes. In addition, the ancient method of digging and attacking the city existed. Only before the emergence of the Tang army's digging army, the world had never heard of it, so we didn't pay much attention to it. Now where can we not pay attention to it.

"Don't worry, general Ben has ordered to dig dozens of large pits behind the city wall, all of which have been placed with a large urn for listening to the earth. He has also sent soldiers to monitor carefully for 12 hours, and there is no return for the time being. As soon as there is news, we will send someone to inform the military division immediately. " The rest of the soldiers answered immediately;

"it's so good that the Tang army has arrived for more than three days. According to the truth, the tunnel dug by Zijun should be near the city wall in these two days. So we will send more people to general Hengye to monitor carefully. "

"What's more, on the ridge above the North City, is there any change on the other side of the army?"

"There is no news for the time being. There are 3000 soldiers and horses on the mountain ridge to defend. Besides, there is a path under the southern wall that can go up the mountain ridge, the other roads have been destroyed by the general. If you want to go up the mountain from the other aspects, you can't hide the soldiers on the mountain ridge." The rest are busy for Wang Lian;

"be careful Fazheng replied, then turned away from the nest car and headed for a house in the city. He was a guest general, so there was nothing else to do except the military counsellor. This kind of simple siege didn't need him to take part in, so he didn't stay on the nest car much.
