Chapter 966: Zhuozhou Offensive and Defensive Battle (3)

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Luda bent down and picked up a crockpot filled with fire oil, and after a little weighing, he suddenly straightened up and raised his arms, exhaling: "Go! The footsteps suddenly leaned forward, and with inertia, his arm was instantly raised, and the crockpot was thrown like a stone out of the city.

Only then did everyone understand his intentions, and subconsciously their eyes followed the crockpot outward. I saw that the clay pot crossed a wonderful arc in the air, crossed the wide moat, and smashed squarely on the trench bridge more than 20 zhang away, and with a bang, the tank shattered, and the fire oil in it immediately splashed out, most of which were poured on the support behind the bridge, and some splashed down on the surrounding Liao soldiers, causing them to scream and dodge.

This time, it really shocked all the soldiers in the city, because Ruda's throwing of the clay pot with his bare hands was too unexpected. You must know that the clay pots here are not only huge in size, but also filled with fire oil, and they weigh seventy or eighty pounds, even if ordinary soldiers try their best to throw, they can throw a dozen feet away, not to mention that they can accurately hit the target outside.

With just this hand, it shows how amazing Luda's strength is, and how terrifying his eyesight is. It was Sun Tu, who was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Luda had not stopped, and had picked up another jar and aimed at the trench bridge to throw it, and then hit the target. Only then did he quickly come back to his senses, and immediately shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and send rockets!" ”

With this reminder, the soldiers on the side came back to their senses from this shock, and immediately shouted excitedly, lit fire and released arrows, even Dong Kuang also applauded again and again: "Okay, General Lu is really a warrior!" This time, I can hold Zhuozhou, you should be the first to take the lead! ”

As he spoke, several more canisters were thrown, and rockets flew out in large numbers, quickly igniting the trench bridge below, finally destroying the most threatening weapon before the enemy could erect the bridge. At the same time, the arrows below were also denser than before, and they were shooting straight towards Luda, who was constantly rushing forward, and it was obvious that the Liao army also saw that he was the biggest threat and wanted to take the opportunity to shoot him.

Fortunately, at this time, there was one more person by Luda's side, and it was Wu Song, who was as fast as a cheetah with two knives in his hands. I saw that his knife rolled like the wind, flying up and down, and he single-handedly flew all the arrows shot at Ruda, which won him the opportunity to continue throwing crockpots. And other soldiers also threw themselves into the battle to suppress the Liao army under the city, and the bows and arrows of the Changsheng army also shot down like raindrops in waves, without flinching at all.

At this point, this round of onslaught of the Liao army has finally come to an end. As the moats turned into torches and burned, it was no longer possible for them to move forward with many siege weapons, and even as Ruda continued to throw oil and clay pots, even the weapons themselves were in danger of being burned at any time.

Seeing this, the Chinese army of the Liao army finally stopped beating the drum and no longer urged the army. A moment later, there was another sound of gold, and they still chose to be on the safe side and retreat from the battle. Since the Changsheng army is well defended, Zhuozhou is not able to be captured quickly, in order not to produce more unnecessary damage, it is better to withdraw troops in order to fight again in the future, after all, the trade-off is also the basic ability of a general.

Seeing the Liao army retreating, the defenders at the head of the city suddenly cheered, especially when they saw the various weapons that were left in front of the moat by the enemy and were still burning, the hearts of the soldiers were even more excited, and the previous panic about the Liao army was finally diluted by most of it.

I don't know who suddenly shouted again: "Always win, will win!" Then the same slogan spread to the city, and finally to the entire city of Zhuozhou, where tens of thousands of people shouted "Victory!" almost at the same time. Win! This time, the voice is like a tsunami, both the confidence and the movement are much stronger than before. It was only because of this battle that the soldiers had enough confidence in their own abilities, and the morale of the victorious army had been greatly boosted and consolidated.

Although Sun Tu knew that this battle could not explain anything, and he was far from being able to say a word of victory, he did not speak of defeat at this moment, but just said loudly: "Today's victory is just the beginning, I believe that next, we will be able to break the Liao army in front of us and use their blood to comfort the former robes!" Victory will be written by our own hands! ”

......The cheers of the city head were constantly blown by the south wind and poured into Xiao Gan's ears, which made his face more and more gloomy, but at the same time, his heart was completely calm. He still made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, knowing that the current commanders of the Changsheng army were much stronger than the original Guo Yaoshi, he really shouldn't look at them with the old eyes, and hurriedly launched an attack as soon as he arrived in Zhuozhou.

Now it seems that although the number of troops in this Zhuozhou City is not too much, it is also an extremely difficult bone to gnaw, and it is very difficult to rely on a frontal attack alone, and it is necessary to find another flaw in order to win.

Looking at the sun gradually moving west, Xiao Gan had slowly born an idea in his heart. Since the northern city is tightly guarded, there is no need to fight hard, you can start from elsewhere. And just looking at the traps on both sides of the east and west, this is not only a difficult point, but also exposes the problem that the victorious army is actually insufficient in strength, and the city walls on the east and west sides must be empty. It was precisely because of the emptiness on both sides that he did not dare to let his own army attack, so he deliberately set a trap to deter himself.

So in the end, if you want to break the city, you have to fall on these two sides, and if you want to launch a real offensive on these two sides, you must first clear the terrible trap. But where do you start?

Xiao Gan's gaze fell back to Zhuozhou City in front of him, sweeping back and forth left and right, and he slowly had a decision in his heart, just wait for tomorrow to try, and the result will be known.

And when Xiao Gan's gaze came, Sun Tu at the head of the city also looked back as if he had a feeling: "Xiao Gan, you are not only a great Liao, but also a good at using soldiers, I think that this defeat alone will not discourage you, I want to see how many means you have." ”

At the same time, the voice of a general beside him pulled him out of his thoughts again: "General, I think we can take this opportunity to attack the Liao army at night and kill them by surprise." After all, they have just arrived here, and they are in a new defeat, and they are deficient in both defense and psychology, and it is the time to raise the prestige of our ever-winning army! ”

It is clear that today's victory has led the victorious army to the other extreme, from the fear of the enemy to the rush for victory. Even Dong Kuang was a little eager to try, but he hesitated slightly: "This, isn't it too risky, after all, the enemy commander is Xiao Gan......"

"Then Xiao Gan is also carrying a head on both shoulders, and he was also defeated in our hands, can't he be defeated again?" Another soldier said excitedly: "General, this is indeed a great opportunity for us to take revenge and completely defend Zhuozhou." If the Liao army really gets a chance to breathe and gain a foothold outside, it will be difficult to defeat them again. ”

These words attracted the approval of other generals, and everyone looked like they were gearing up and wanted to make meritorious contributions to the enemy. Today's victory gave them too much confidence, and with less than 200 casualties of their own, they killed and wounded nearly 1,000 enemies and burned countless enemy siege weapons.

Fortunately, Dong Kuang finally didn't get dizzy, and immediately looked at Sun Tu again: "What does General Sun think?" ”

Sun Tu pondered for a moment before suddenly asking, "Where do the generals think our victory today is?" ”

"Of course, the victory lies in the life of the whole army, and the tactics are appropriate." Someone replied without thinking.

"No, in my opinion, these two points are not the most critical, the most critical thing is that we are in the city and occupy the advantage of geography, so we can defeat the strong with the weak and kill the Liao army. But if you leave this advantage and take the initiative to go out of the city to fight the Liao army, the consequences will be difficult to say. Sun Tu's words still saved a little face, if he really wanted to do what he thought, he had to say that if he went out of the city to fight, the winning army would be defeated.

"General Sun, you are too alarmist." A general named Shi Hui immediately retorted: "I admit that the Liao army is indeed very strong, and Xiao Gan is a rare powerful figure, but even if he is a strong general, he has times when he can't take care of it, and the tiger also has a time to nap, right?"

"Before, my Changsheng army was indeed inferior to the Liao army, and I also suffered many losses at the hands of Xiao Gan, but now it is not the same as in the past. At that time, the elite of the Liao army were all there, so naturally we could kill us without the strength to fight back, but now the Liao army has to be entangled with the Jin people in the north, and it has to confront and fight against the official army of the Great Song Dynasty in the south. In this case, we have the possibility of defeating him, and the odds of victory are not small.

"And more importantly, even Xiao Gan would never have imagined that we would dare to take the initiative to go out of the city and attack him at night, which will increase our chances of victory by a few points. General, what do you think? This last sentence, of course, is asked by Dong Kuang, after all, in the final analysis, the main general of the Chang Shengjun is still him.

This time, even Dong Kuang began to move, because the current facts are really as he said. And more importantly, he really needs a big victory to completely stabilize his position in the army after killing Guo Yaoshi and seizing the military power. And what victory can compare to the defeat of the Liao army?

Sun Tu immediately saw his thoughts, and his brows furrowed deeply: "General Dong, the stakes are very high, but you can't let Zhuozhou lose because you are in a hurry!" ”

"I have my own ideas, and General Sun doesn't need to worry too much. In fact, it is also beneficial for us to try to take the initiative to attack, at least this will make the enemy dare not attack with all their might, and take attack as defense, which can make us defend more steadily! Dong Kuang quickly gave a statement, and obviously really made up his mind.

Seeing this, Sun Tu's face changed several times, and he didn't say anything more after all. After all, he is the commander of the Chang Shengjun, and it is useless to say more by himself. This Dong Kuang, after all, is a little young and too radical!
