Chapter 916: Night Attack
More than ten years ago, Yang Jian once erected a monument here, and when the Turks saw this high inscription, they immediately turned around and fled.
For so many years after that, this place has been stable and worry-free, but with the change of the minds of some people in Liaodong City.
A trouble will follow.
Xue Ju quietly looked at the small city under the night.
In his eyes, there was a bit of ambition.
"Looking south on this official road, this is the only place that can be intercepted by the Sui Dynasty army before Liaodong City.
And this small city doesn't seem to be big, but it can affect three other cities from here.
Even if we contact the Turkic Xianbei people and send troops here, we can separate from here left and right.
And you returned from a big defeat before, presumably the female general of the Sui Dynasty will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue.
You resisted desperately before, but you were still defeated, which shows that they are very strong.
Therefore, if you want to keep the land of Liaodong, this small city must be taken.
And to reinforce the soldiers here, it is necessary to make it an impregnable wall. ”
Xue Ju knew very clearly what he would face next.
His gaze looked further, and his mind now was very simple, as long as he could suppress the soldiers and horses of the Sui Dynasty here.
Only when Yang Liang, the king of Han, sent troops to come, he could break free from the quagmire.
You can even go and do other things.
But it is very difficult to delay until that moment.
Therefore, clinging to a certain city is not the best means for him to save his life.
Now that night is falling, the gates of Beiwang City are slowly closing.
Hundreds of soldiers, but they did not rest because of this.
What happened in Wushan a few days ago, they had already learned through the government.
Xue Ju actually had so many soldiers and horses in private, and he also made a big move to prevent Qu Tutong from taking office.
In a way, they have been derelict in their duties.
Therefore, these people, after adjusting the problem in a short period of time, were on strict alert in case Xue Ju would raid the city at night. ”
On the city wall alone, the number of soldiers on one side has reached 100.
It can be said that in times of war, there was no such caution.
And since yesterday, the people in the city have been strictly inspected as long as they enter and leave the city.
Anyone who carries a weapon without permission will be arrested and put in prison.
But if there is no one in the city to take them away, they will be kept in captivity.
Only when all the guards are out can they be released.
Therefore, with all kinds of preparations, although Xue Ju came at night.
But it was still discovered.
"Pass the order, blow the horn immediately, and inform the county magistrate."
Someone at the head of the city saw the soldiers rushing from a distance, and immediately blew the horn.
And with the sound of the trumpet, the city was suddenly lit up, and the voices of people and the sound of the trumpets continued to spread.
And at this moment, he had just arrived outside the city, and it was Xue Ju who planned to let his soldiers send someone to test it.
Suddenly, his face changed greatly, and looking at the city that was so carefully prepared, a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared behind him.
"General, our people have been discovered.
The general, our spies in the city, did not give us any help as we had planned.
Obviously, these people are probably already in prison. ”
Several lieutenants in the army ran in front of Xue Ju at this moment and poured out the news they had learned.
And Xue Ju's face was a little ugly.
"The arrow had to be sent, and the order went down, and everyone aimed at the city gate.
The cost of this small city is not strong, as long as we can storm the city and master it. ”
Xue Ju's order has been issued, and these elite soldiers who have been hidden by the Xue family for many years and have finally come in handy today.
It shows quite a strong team combat ability, as well as a very calm way of coping.
The cavalry was in front.
The infantry was in the rear.
The rockets rained down on the city again, crackling and falling on the top of the city, suppressing the guards at the city gates, making it difficult to shoot from a high place downward.
Many cavalrymen carried bottles and cans filled with fire oil on the city walls and city gates.
Accompanied by a rocket falling on the edge.
The fire suddenly burst out.
After receiving the report from the herald, the county commander of Beiwangcheng immediately left everything in his hand and came here to supervise the battle.
But unfortunately, just arrived, the city gate shook with a bang, and under the stunned gaze of everyone, a hole was burned out by the fire.
Faintly, thousands of cavalry can be seen, right in the city
Outside the killing.
"Someone, block the gates for me."
The county order roared, and the two or three hundred guards behind him rushed forward.
It's a pity that the city gate has been burned by flames, and the hole in the city gate has been exposed, and there is almost no dangerous place to guard.
So these soldiers burst out with extremely high fighting qualities.
But it's a pity that in such a situation.
It is difficult to make better defenses and resists.
As a result, the wooden gate collapsed as everyone watched in amazement.
Hundreds of cavalry rushed in like a tidal wave.
A battle of life and death has begun.
On the Liaodong Plain, the wheels rattled, and the sound of horses' hooves spread far away.
The dust in the sky was like a strong wind.
Someone can be seen from a high place, countless soldiers and horses, gathered into an army.
I saw that the flag spread out like a cloud, and the reflection of the weapon made people unable to open their eyes.
