'Bang-bang-'

Twenty stone throwers on the head of the city continued to fire, and huge stones whistled through the air, shooting towards the siege nest car, and a boulder accurately hit a siege nest car, smashing the roof of the nest car to pieces, splashing wood in all directions, and the nest car shook a few times, but it did not hurt its muscles and bones, and continued to move forward.

But more boulders passed by the nest cart and hit the soldiers on the ground.......

Although Xue Yantuo's army also paid a lot of losses, the trebuchets on the city did not affect the determination of the army to march, and Xue Yantuo's army was getting closer and closer to the city.

After entering the one hundred and fifty paces, the horses were all removed, and hundreds of people pushed the siege nest cart forward.

The stairs and platforms inside each of the nest cars were filled with eighty burly and strong Xue Yantuo soldiers, who were the first to attack the city, opening a way for the soldiers to follow.

These were the four hundred most powerful soldiers carefully selected by Xue Mantou, each wearing chain iron armor, wearing an iron helmet, holding a shield and spear, and a murderous aura.

On the top platform stood twenty soldiers, with wooden covers on top of their heads, and in front of them erected a large wooden row, about eight feet high, wrapped in two pieces of cowhide, which was erected as a shield when they advanced, and once they were close to the city wall, the slabs fell and put on the head of the city, becoming a ready-made overpass passage, which was very strong and practical.

On the platform, twenty strong Xue Yantuo soldiers held spears and shields in their hands, their faces were hideous, their faces were expressionless, their eyes flashed with the killing light of beasts, and behind them was a staircase leading to the bottom, and the stairs were also full of soldiers.

One hundred steps...... Fifty steps..... Thirty steps, all obstacles in front were cleared by Xue Yantuo's soldiers, and the five siege nest vehicles were getting closer and closer to the city wall.

At this time, Guo Song issued an order to destroy the trebuchet, which was no longer meaningful for defending the city, and once it was mastered by the enemy, it would become a sharp weapon for them to threaten the inner city.

"Boom!"

A siege nest car stood up to the head of the city, and the huge baffle fell with a bang, smashing heavily on the city, and the twenty soldiers inside were killed, and at the head of the city, fifty spearmen swarmed up, and twenty Xue Yantuo soldiers fought fiercely.

Five siege chariots arrived at the city wall one after another, quickly forming five passages to the city, and the two sides formed five offensive and defensive battles, and thousands of people fought together at the head of the city.

A siege nest car is facing the overpass in the inner and outer cities of Jiuyuan County, and there are constantly enemy soldiers rushing up, seriously threatening the safety of the overpass, Guo Song rushed over with three hundred soldiers, seeing that the other party was about to break through the encirclement of the Tang army, but was pressed back by the support force that came to kill.

Guo Song brandished Fang Tian's halberd, a flat stab, and the tip of the halberd stabbed at the enemy's thousand-commander, who was infinitely powerful and very strong, and five or six Tang soldiers had already died under his mace.

The commander smirked, raised his mace high, and smashed it at the halberd's head, 'Dang! With a loud bang, the iron mace slammed into the halberd's head, and the violent shock made the commander's arms sore, and the mace actually flew out of his hand.

Qianfu screamed and turned around to escape, but Guo Song's halberd was not affected in the slightest, and suddenly accelerated, 'Poof! The tip of the long halberd pierced his chest.

The commander screamed miserably, died tragically on the spot, Guo Song fought with his arms, and raised his body high, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, Xue Yantuo's soldiers were angry and afraid, more than a dozen soldiers rushed up to grab the corpse, Guo Song threw the corpse into the city, shouted, the halberd stabbed and split again, killing more than a dozen people in a row, so that the offensive of the besieging enemy army was stagnant.

He disappeared, and the hundreds of Tang soldiers attacked like a tide, killing Xue Yantuo's soldiers and retreating one after another, and then retreated back into the siege nest car.

At this time, dozens of Tang soldiers threw bundles of lit wheat straw into the siege nest car, and the smoke was billowing in an instant, and the soldiers inside panicked and fled from the siege nest car one after another, and the fire became bigger and bigger, engulfing the entire nest car.

In the middle of the city wall, the Tang army won the victory, but the Tang army did not have the advantage in the other four siege nest cars, and more and more enemy troops attacked the head of the city, and the two sides were evenly matched.

Guo Song pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Order to withdraw to the inner city!" ”

Li Ji was shocked, "Envoy, we didn't fail, why retreat?" ”

Guo Song said resolutely: "There is no reason, withdraw the army immediately!" ”

The military order could not be violated, Li Ji was so helpless that he had to give an order, "Ring the bell and withdraw the army!" ”

'When! While! While! ’

The bell rang for the rapid withdrawal, and the Tang army began to retreat from the overpass to the inner city, there were two overpasses, one in the east of the city, which was demolished after the war began, and one in the west of the city, and a nest car directly opposite was burning a raging fire.

The 1,000 militia soldiers who operated the trebuchet at the head of the city had taken the lead in retreating with the steel fork soldiers after dismantling the trebuchet and throwing the rod, and the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers on the city were also retreating.

For example, the soldiers at the north and south ends were blocked by the enemy and could no longer come, so they retreated directly from the north and south of the city, and the soldiers from the inner city would meet them with ladders.

As the Tang army retreated rapidly, more and more Xue Yantuo troops attacked the outer city wall, Xue Manzi was greatly excited, and shouted: "The whole army goes to the city!" ”

More than 10,000 Xue Yantuo's army rushed to the outer city wall along the four siege nest vehicles, and at this time, Guo Song stood at the head of the bridge like a god of war, waiting for the last dozen soldiers who were rushing to this side.

"Let's go!"

More than a dozen soldiers rushed to the overpass from him one after another, Guo Song looked around to the west city, there was no Tang army soldier, he retreated step by step, the closest Xue Yantuo soldiers were only more than ten steps away, they did not dare to rush forward, carrying spears and following Guo Song step by step, always maintaining a distance of ten steps.

The soldiers in the entire inner city and the outer city were stunned, holding their breath and looking at the step on the overpass, which was more than a thousand Xue Yantuo soldiers, standing densely on the overpass, and at the other end was their commander, holding a halberd and raising a shield, retreating step by step, and the two sides were only ten steps apart.

At this time, no one shot arrows, lest they hurt their own people.

When there was still a zhang away from the inner city, a thousand commanders shouted, and Xue Yantuo's soldiers rushed up with a shout, they had clear tactics, they had to rush to the inner city with the opposing general, so that the Tang army would not have time to cut the rope.

Guo Song smiled coldly, the halberd swung suddenly, and actually cut the overpass into two sections, the soldiers on the overpass screamed in horror, and fell heavily to the ground three feet apart, and more than a thousand soldiers were thrown out, either dead or wounded, and screamed.

Guo Song's other section also smashed heavily towards the city wall, but Guo Song supported the city wall with a halberd, he threw away his shield, climbed the rope ladder with one arm and walked up step by step, and went up to the city with great ease, and the Tang army in the inner city suddenly cheered.

Even Xue Mantou couldn't help but point his sword at Guo Song and asked, "Who is that?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and one of the generals said: "I heard that the other party's coach Guo Song used a Fang Tian painting halberd, could it be this person?" ”

Xue Mantou's face became more and more ugly, the other party's commander was actually the last to retreat, if his soldiers could be brave, maybe they could capture this person alive, they wasted an opportunity in vain.

"Khan, this outer city is a little strangely built!"

A commander found out that there was no way down to the city outside the city, and everyone was stunned, there was no way down to the city, what should I do?

Xue Mantou said coldly: "It's not easy, use a simple ladder to go down, and then use a ladder to attack the city, the other party's city head is only two zhang, don't tell me that you can't attack it!" “

Last night, Xue Yantuo's army made 300 simple and crude ladders overnight, and after the war began, I thought I wouldn't need them, but I didn't expect them to be used here.

More than 10,000 Xue Yantuo's troops set up ladders and headed down the city.

At this time, the fierce battle has been going on for more than four hours, the war was fought from early morning to afternoon, 18,000 Xue Yantuo's army suffered nearly 5,000 casualties, and only more than 13,000 people are left with combat effectiveness, they are now a little difficult to ride a tiger, if this big battle does not continue, their nearly 5,000 soldiers will be lost in vain, and they have captured the outer city, which is like a fish on the hook, it is impossible for them to give up, and they almost swallow the hook with the last bite.

Guo Song was waiting for the enemy army to swallow the fishhook at the end, the reason why he decided to abandon the outer city was that he was worried that Xue Yantuo would withdraw his troops, and now that Xue Yantuo occupied the outer city, it was equivalent to eating the bait on his own fishhook, and he was also waiting for Xue Yantuo's army to swallow the fishhook for the last bite.

For Guo Song, the last bite of the enemy to swallow the fishhook was when the main force came down from the outer city and entered between the two cities.

There seemed to be only 5,000 soldiers on both sides of Guo and Song, but in fact, there were more than 10,000 soldiers lying in ambush at the head of the city, waiting for the commander to give the order for the whole army to attack.

The number of the Tang army has exceeded the number of Xue Yantuo's army, as long as it is not a cavalry battle, they have already occupied seven points of victory in this battle, and the rest is the difference in how many enemies are slaughtered.
