The morale of the Tang army is flourishing, like the sky, and the morale of the barbarian coalition army has fallen to a low point, it stands to reason that it is not suitable to attack the city at this time, but Gai Suwen still ordered the siege of the city, in his opinion, morale is important, but the gap in strength is not morale can make up, they have 70,000 troops, the Tang army only has 10,000 remnants, he does not believe that in the case of such a disparity in strength, he still can't capture Youzhou City.

Murqin wanted to dissuade them, but they also knew that Gai Suwen was angry now and didn't want to go up and touch the nails, and they also believed that the most important thing was the strength of the army, followed by morale.

Li Hao saw that the enemy army was dispatched, began to attack the city, turned his horse's head and ran into the city, after the city gate was closed, Li Hao immediately ordered: "Seal the city gate!" ”

Hundreds of people went out together, the originally prepared dirt bags were moved to the Yongdao, to block the city gate, Li Hao rode out of the Yongdao, into the urn city, the urn city was full of temporarily recruited young people, when they saw Li Hao arrive, everyone cheered, admiring Li Hao's courage as a god, living up to the name of the god of war, and the power of the god of war, Li Hao was simply worshiped as a god.

Li Hao rode on horseback and said coldly: "There is this king!" Never let Hulu barbarians step into Youzhou half a step! ”

Li Hao's words instantly led everyone's emotions to a climax, these thousands of young men who had just been recruited felt that their blood was boiling, and they couldn't wait to run to the city at this moment to fight to the death with the enemy, but unfortunately the army had military discipline, and their current task was to familiarize themselves with the battlefield, wait in the urn city, and engage in logistics work by the way.

Li Hao knows that no matter how close to the people is usually, but not at this moment, at this time, he has to be high, like a god, let them be in awe, let them believe, let them have faith in themselves, so as to give them unlimited confidence, stimulate the maximum combat power of the people in the city, people's spiritual power, sometimes it is very terrible, can surpass the limits of human beings, the mother lifted a car in order to save the child, is the best example.

Li Hao's eyes swept across the crowd, saw Guan Hong in the front row, threw the Guan knife to him, and said, "Thank you for borrowing the knife, the thing will be returned to the original owner!" ”

Guan Hong stretched out his right hand to take the Guan knife, the heavy Guan knife was also heavy in his hand, Li Hao couldn't help but ask loudly when he saw this: "Guan Hong, how are your martial arts?" ”

Guan Hong hurriedly said: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and although I dare not compare my martial arts with the prince, I am not weaker than others. ”

"Okay." Li Hao said in a loud voice, "You go to the city with this king and fight the enemy together!" ”

"Yes!" Guan Hong was so excited when he heard the words that he seemed to be going to the sky, he felt that he had never been so happy in his life, the Tang Dynasty was still martial arts, but most of the people who practiced martial arts had the heart to serve the country, Guan Hong was no exception, Li Hao saw him like this, as if he saw the shadow of Xue Rengui, if he had the opportunity, he would have to study this Guan Hong, maybe this person is a general.

Li Hao dismounted, took Guan Hong to the head of the city, the barbarian army has entered the Tang army's range, this time, the Tang army archers according to Li Hao's orders, completely ignore the infantry attacking the city in front, but will be the rain of arrows behind, directly shoot the archers in the rear of the enemy, the archers on the Tang side, are all temporary levy of young strong, these young men are mostly a handful of strength, but they can't open a bow and ride horses, let alone fight, Li Hao recruited them over, they are responsible for archery in the rear, it doesn't matter if they haven't learned to open a bow, open a bow crash course teaching, seven days package meeting, It doesn't matter if you can't shoot accurately, why do you want to shoot so accurately in the chaotic army, just be able to shoot, just understand the flag commands, these are all very easy to learn.

The Tang army was above the city, condescending, occupying a favorable position, the arrows naturally shot extremely far, the archers of the barbarian coalition army could not come forward at all, as long as they stepped forward, they were shot, and the infantry had not yet set up a ladder, and nearly a thousand archers had died under the feather arrows of the Tang army.

Although Gai Suwen hated it when he saw this, he still said to himself: "If you want to suppress my archers, okay, then I want to see how you can deal with so many siege soldiers!" ”

Tens of thousands of infantry came to the city, began to set up ladders to attack the city, first began to have few people, the ladders were just erected, they were pushed away, but there were more and more ladders behind, on a city wall, densely packed with ladders, the city vehicles also came to the city gate smoothly, began to storm the city gate, but the city gate was already blocked by the soil bag, and could not be opened at all.

Although there are many barbarian troops, but out of geographical disadvantage, the Tang army is at the peak of morale, holding knives and guns to frantically defend the city wall, as soon as you see someone showing your head, it is a knife to cut down, the stone and wood continue to fall, smashed to one person, then it is the same as a string, the entire ladder of people will be swept to the end, or half of it, the war just started soon, the barbarian coalition army suffered heavy casualties.

The barbarian coalition army is fortunate to have ten catapults, although they are all small catapults, but they help a lot, those flying stones are not small, the Tang army at the head of the city has many people hit by flying stones, every time the catapult throws flying stones, it can tear a small gap in the city wall, and the barbarian army takes advantage of this gap to forcibly climb the city, otherwise they have no chance at all, because the current Tang army is all like fighting chicken blood, so excited that they don't talk like they are talking, completely forgetting life and death.

There were too many barbarian coalition troops, and under the cover of catapults, there was finally a barbarian army on the top of the city, and Li Hao immediately ordered: "Pour fire oil!" Burn! ”

The Tang army threw all the fire oil under the city wall, a torch was dropped, and a huge fire dragon suddenly burst out under the city, and even the river surface of the moat was on fire, and those barbarian armies were burned to scream, and they drilled into the moat, the moat was very long, and most of the river was still without flames, but the barbarian army ignored one point, most of them were not familiar with water, because they were all northerners.

There are few rivers in the north, and the weather is cold, so most of the northerners are not very familiar with water, and those barbarians jumped into the moat, and they did not float again, and after a while, the moat was already full of corpses.

The fire hindered the offensive of the barbarian army, and the Tang army at the head of the city took the opportunity to strangle those barbarians who had ascended to the top of the city and left the city behind.

There are still a lot of armies continuing to attack the city, although there are fires under the city, but not everywhere, fire oil is more precious in ancient times, even if the Tang Dynasty is rich in materials, it is impossible to play like that, if you want to ignite fires everywhere under the city, the oil consumed is calculated by tons.

Looking at the fire in front of him and the army with heavy losses, Gai Suwen's face was extremely gloomy, among the siege army, there were also soldiers from other three clans, Mu Erqin was distressed, and stepped forward to persuade: "Marshal Yuan, the morale of the Tang army is strong, it is better to suspend the siege and think about it in the long run." ”

Gai Suwen snorted coldly: "Bullshit morale!" This marshal doesn't believe it, my army of 70,000 can't capture the small Youzhou City! ”

Li Tai also hurriedly agreed: "Yes! Yuan Dashuai is right! We have an army of 70,000, are we still afraid of Li Hao's 10,000 remnants! ”

The commanders of the other three armies looked at Li Tai with stupid eyes, although they didn't speak, but the eyes seemed to say: "You know a yarn, and you dare to beep here." ”

Cui Gongwang pulled Li Tai's sleeve again and told him to shut up, but Li Tai stopped talking, a little depressed.

The battle continued, and the fire hindered the offensive of the alien army, giving the Tang army a temporary respite, but the alien archers took the opportunity to press up, and entered the firing range, plus the catapults, inflicted heavy casualties on the Tang army at the head of the city.

Li Hao immediately ordered to shoot the enemy archers with all his might, and he found after careful research that in siege warfare, it is difficult for the soldiers who ascend the city to cause damage to the defenders at the head of the city, and it is the archers who really cause damage to the defenders at the head of the city, followed by the projection vehicle.

Fortunately, this time Gai Suwen only got ten small projection vehicles, although it caused some trouble to the defenders of the city, fortunately, the threat was not too big, if ten more were added, Li Hao estimated that he would have a headache.

Gradually, the fire was extinguished, and the damage on both sides was not small, especially the alien army, when the herald went back to report the battle damage, it was 3,3000 reports, so far, the barbarian army has lost more than 15,000 people, you know, the three-tribe alliance army has lost 22,000 people after a month of siege, and now it is only a siege battle, and more than 15,000 people have been lost, so you can imagine how fierce this siege battle is.

"Yuan Dashuai! Withdraw your troops for now! Mu Erqin was a little anxious, and his tone became a little intense, "At present, the morale of the Tang army is too strong, it is not suitable to attack the city, we have already suffered more than 15,000 casualties, and we have suffered heavy losses!" ”

"Ben Shuai fights, and I want you to teach! How can there be no immortal in war! If you want to retreat, go back to Xue Yantuo! Go back and lie on the woman's belly to be a hero, the battlefield is not for you! Gai Suwen glared, and suddenly rode out of his horse, came to the snare drum of the military formation, grabbed the drumstick, and beat the drum himself.

Mu Erqin was humiliated by his words for a while, his face was red, his eyes were round, and his nose was panting, if he hadn't been thinking about the picturesque country of the Tang Dynasty, how could he stand this kind of wretched gas, it is estimated that he would have slapped his ass and left.

Li Hao was overjoyed when he saw Gai Suwen suddenly running into battle and beating drums and cheering, he visually measured the distance, it was about more than two hundred meters away, and the bow and arrow could not be shot, so he hurriedly took out his pocket pistol, installed a silencer, hid behind the battlements and began to aim, he could finally use a plug-in, he was secretly excited.

Aiming for a moment, Li Hao pulled the trigger, and with a soft "chirp", Gai Suwen was shot, and there was a burst of blood on his right chest and his shoulder, Gai Suwen suddenly screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Li Hao was about to make up another shot, but he was blocked by Gai Suwen's personal guards, and he couldn't find a chance to shoot, and in the end he could only watch the group of guards rescue Gai Suwen, and at the same time, the enemy began to withdraw his troops.

Li Hao put away the pistol and sighed secretly: "It's a pity, I didn't shoot accurately." ”

In fact, he also knew that his pocket pistol was limited in power, and it was not very accurate outside the range of 100 meters, not to mention more than 200 meters, it was completely his luck to be able to hit Gai Suwen this time.
