Chapter 695: Quiet as a Thing

Outside Kangli City, after Gao Jun led people back to Yanqi, Guo Zhizhao took attack as defense, and used a hundred crossbow carts to shoot the bamboo muskets that had just arrived into Kangli City at night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The weather is dry and dry, the city is also full of fire, and the thick and thick green smoke is soaring, and the city is crying and shouting for the mother, and it is a mess.

The edict has never commanded so many men and horses, and at this time there is chaos in the city, and he must be busy fighting fires, so the defensive force must be insufficient. He raised his sword on his horse, "Take advantage of the chaos to attack the city and take the city of Kangli in one fell swoop!" The Xizhou coalition army under the city rushed up with a shout.

Enemy soldiers with bows and arrows poked out of the battlements in the city and shot arrows at the bottom of the city. Some people were wounded, some fell to the ground with arrows, but no one retreated, and set up a long ladder to the city, and the warriors carried their steel swords in their mouths to help the ladder, but the fire in the city was even greater.

When a fire broke out in the city, his first reaction was to supervise the people to go to the city, strengthen the defense, and then divide a small part of the troops to fight the fire, and go to the city to drive the people, and get up overnight to carry water to help.

The inhabitants of the city had already gotten up, and the rockets outside the city were falling from the sky, but they did not talk about the soldiers and civilian facilities, as long as they were flammable things, the grass houses, the houses, the stables, and the tents were all touched, and everywhere there were fireworks burning in their throats, and the figures of people on the streets were heavy, rushing and trampling each other, and the war horses that had been sleeping overnight broke off the reins and rushed around the streets.

Su Fa personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and saw that although the attack under the city was fierce, the defense line was not shaken. The Xizhou people climbed the long ladder to attack the city, and a few who rushed to the city were immediately exterminated by the defenders. He shouted and shouted and assigned his generals to fight the enemy.

At dawn, there is a continuous rain falling from the sky, which is not a common thing in the hinterland of the desert. Su Va was overjoyed, "This is God helping us!" He was so proud that he sent a detachment of men and horses to open the gates of the city and rush out to interfere with the enemy's siege.

A full 2,000 people rushed out of the city of Kangli with a shout, but a row of huge crossbows were concentrated at the city gate like a fan, and these fierce and fast javelins pierced through the armor, and even the horses with armor were not spared, and the men and horses of Kangli City fell together at the city gate and blocked the city gate. Su Fa shouted in a loud voice in the city, "Come back, close the door!" ā€

Guo Zhizhao saw that there was an opportunity, and he had already commanded another department to cover up at the city gate. The people in the city had no intention of attacking, and the sergeants who rushed over carried the seriously wounded men and horses who fell under the gate, and pulled those who could pull them into the city, and those who could not pull them pushed out directly, and hastily closed the gates.

Guo Beizhao saw that the siege of the city had little effect, so he collected his troops and returned to the camp to check the dead and wounded. All the units of the coalition army suffered casualties, probably five or six hundred men. While sending people to fight outside the city, he waited for Gao Jun to return. But the city no longer dared to come out to fight, but kept it tightly on the city with archers.

The fire in Kangli City was finally controlled, but everywhere was a mess, most of the grain and grass were lost, and there were no more good houses and military tents in the city.

Su Va, exhausted, called Nali and asked him to arrange for people to go to the rear to raise troops quickly. Kangli City can not be lost, this city wall is second only to Qiuci, if this city is lost, then the Xizhou soldiers and horses will go straight to Qiuci City.

Soon, Xizhou Beijia brought the young lord of Futu City, Pheasant, and his wife Nubia to the front line. When the pheasant came, the 4,000 people in Futu City were not here, and he didn't know where Gao Jun had sent him.

Gao Jun said to him, "The soldiers and horses of Futu City are of great use, but I am short of leading figures here, so my Tianshan herding team will be under your command, and Lu Xiaoyu will be your deputy general, and your task is to stabilize the Chinese army and strictly investigate the enemy's meticulous work." ā€

In this way, Pheasant Lin and Nubiya were looked at by Lu Xiaoyu. Master Gao's words are very clear, the pheasant doesn't have to go anywhere, just stay in the center of the camp honestly.

After Gao Jun returned, he arranged manpower to transport the injured people back to Yanqi City to be disposed of and raised, but he never organized manpower to attack the city.

The sun after the rain was even more scorching, and it was estimated that everything in the city should be dried out, and the second wave of rockets was launched into the city in broad daylight. Su Fa was a little disgraced, but there was nothing he could do, he would only scold at the head of the city, while waiting patiently for reinforcements.

Twenty days later, Su Fa received bad news: Tang Wu, the lord of Xinhe City southwest of Qiuzi, personally led the second batch of 3,500 reinforcements to Kangli City for reinforcements. When the team went out of the city for fifty miles, it was crushed by the two thousand iron cavalry of Sima Heida of the Yazhou Tianwei Army.

They fought fiercely in the wilderness, and after a day and a night, more than 3,000 people in Xinhe City were put down in the desert, and Tang Wu fled back with only about 500 men. Under the Xinhe City, he was killed by 2,000 Futu City cavalry led by Ashina Sheer, and Tang Wu left 500 people to return to the city alone.

Xinhecheng first reinforced 2,000 men and horses in Kangli City, and this time lost another 3,500 people, Tang Wu himself could not protect it, and he no longer dared to mention reinforcements.

The city lord of Shaya City had already heard about the death of his general Gu Kuangcha, he was a little unconvinced, and even doubted that Su Fa had asked for troops twice, and how much could the little Kangli City hold. When he heard that Xinhe City behind him was attacked by Xizhou people, he made up his mind to wait and see the situation, so he suppressed the second group of 3,000 people.

The first batch of reinforcements of 2,000 men and horses from the westernmost Baicheng was attacked by two groups of men and horses in Xizhou twenty miles outside Qiuzi City. The Jieli Department led by Heida and the Futu City led by Ashina Sheer were not convinced, and they were full of strength to compare, so they were extremely fierce in their killing.

Bai Cheng was a two-man general, and in the blink of an eye, he was beaten to the horse by Heida and Ashina Sheer, and the remaining stragglers fled in all directions without a leader, and this one-sided field battle could not be opened.

By the time the galloping men and horses in Qiuzi City arrived from twenty miles away, the two horse teams in Xizhou had gone to rest and recuperate, leaving only wolves everywhere and countless dead and wounded in Baicheng.

Su Fa was pressed under Kangli City by Gao Jun's army, and he couldn't sleep and eat, and successively urged reinforcements from the nearest Shaya City. The city lord had no choice but to let three thousand men rush out for reinforcements.

They were not ambushed along the way, and they were glad that when they were close to Kangli City fifty miles, Zhai Zhining and the two thousand Jieli men and horses led by Duoduo rushed towards them.

Su Fa couldn't distinguish himself, and was looking to extinguish the fire in the city, and the number of 3,000 people from outside the city was superior, and he desperately rushed into the west gate of Kangli City, but the number of people was less than 3,000.

……

This time, Xizhou did not drive troops to Qiuzi, and the disturbance was not small, but the reaction of both Chang'an and Gaofu was much more than Guo Xiaoke expected.

The last time Gao Jun killed on the ground of the Yipida land, the city was full of wind and rain, as if even half of the city wall in the west of Chang'an was about to collapse. So what's going on this time when everything is quiet?

Guo Dudu thought it was probably because the high trial was not here.
