"Mr. ...... That, Strategist. Wang Yuantai was stunned for a moment, and reminded in a friendly manner, "It's just over now, it's already in the application time (3:00 pm), and there is only one hour left before sunset." ”

"One hour is enough." Li Hao raised his feather fan, pointed to Jiaohe City, and snorted coldly, "The generals will listen to the order and prepare to attack the city!" ”

After a while, the armies were ready, and Li Hao ordered 5,000 infantry with wooden shields in front and 3,000 archers in the rear, into the range of the enemy.

There was a sound of strings in the direction of the city, and the Tang army raised their wooden shields to resist, and the next moment, the generals in the Tang army camp were shocked, only to see that the arrows shot by the archers of the Gaochang army only flew less than a hundred steps, and most of them were shot in the open space, and only two or three hundred arrows were shot into the Tang army's array, and they were weak and weak, and they were all blocked by shields.

"It's a bunch of recruits, and they can't even shoot their bows." Seeing this, the corners of Li Hao's mouth raised, and he said happily, "It seems that it won't even take an hour." ”

Li Hao feathered a fan, and after seeing his gesture, Feiying picked up a command flag and shouted: "Bow press, shoot back!" ”

More than 3,000 Tang army archers moved forward more than 30 steps, opened their bows to counterattack, and suddenly saw arrows like flying locusts, shooting towards the city, Gaochang army immediately nearly 100 people fell to the ground with arrows, and the other Gaochang troops were so frightened that they all shrank under the female wall, not daring to show their heads.

Li Hao got up and swept the feather fan, and the flying eagle immediately changed another order flag and shouted: "Drumming!" Besiege! ”

"Knock knock knock ......" The rapid drum sounded, and more than 4,000 infantry rushed to the city head with shouts and killing, set up a ladder, and in the middle of the military formation, the city car was pushed out and headed towards the north gate of Gaochang.

The enemy generals shouted and cursed at the head of the city, and immediately many people began to brave the rain of arrows to throw stones and rolling logs downwards to block the Tang army's siege of the city.

Li Hao suddenly turned his head and said: "Chen Bin, you take a thousand Zuo Wuwei, bypass Jiaohe City, go to their south gate, and stop four miles outside the south gate." ”

"Yes!" Chen Bin immediately took the order and went away with a thousand cavalry of the Left Guards.

The general defending the city at the head of the city was taken aback when he saw a group of cavalry rushing around the city and heading south, and hurriedly said loudly: "Quick, Xu Xiong, take 800 people to the south gate to set up defenses!" ”

The ancients paid attention to the siege of three queone, Li Hao is different, he only attacked the north gate of Jiaohe City, and gave you three directions to escape, if you abandon the city and escape, I have the most elite cavalry, how many can escape, if you don't escape, I will send troops to stand outside the other three city walls, so that you can scatter your forces to defend, disperse your forces.

Chen Bin really took a thousand Zuo Wuwei to stand four miles outside the city wall, and did not attack the city, the captain named Xu Xiong waited for a while, and did not see Chen Bin and them attacking the city, he was very anxious, and he wanted to go back to the north city wall but did not dare, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform their city defenders.

"Peng Hai, take two hundred and fifty right guards and two hundred and fifty soldiers and cavalry, and go to stand four miles outside the West City Gate."

"Yes!" Peng Hai immediately took five hundred cavalry and immediately marched westward, stopping outside the enemy's west gate.

"Kashiwa Ye Duo! Quickly take 400 people to the West City Gate to guard it! The generals of the Gaochang garrison were completely led by Li Hao, and because he transferred 1,200 people, the defenders on the north city wall were suddenly only more than 2,000 people.

Li Hao looked at the battle situation in front of him and said slowly: "The archers fired a salvo, covering the rushing vehicles, and the sons and daughters are about to enter the city." ”

The flying eagle immediately held the order flag to the front to give the order, the Tang army archers suddenly shot arrows at the city head, the arrows were like rain, so that the enemy could not show their heads, and the city car took the opportunity to move forward quickly, and soon arrived in front of the city gate, rushed to the city gate, and the Tang army had already begun to climb the city on the city wall.

The Tang army is brave, in this era is almost an indisputable fact, once the Tang army ascended to the city, it suddenly seemed to tear a crack in the enemy's defense line, and the more it tore, the group of Gaochang recruits was not the opponent of the Tang army at all, often after a Tang army rushed to the city, it could scare two or three Gaochang troops to retreat.

"Quick! Quickly call Bai Yeduo and Xu Xiong back to support! The generals defending the city of Gaochang hurriedly gave orders, but it was already too late, and more and more Tang troops climbed to the top of the city, and there were already nearly a thousand people.

At this moment, the city gate of Jiaohe was broken by the city car, and the Tang soldiers who had not yet climbed the city rushed over one after another, pouring into the city from the city gate, shouting and killing to the sky.

The enemy defenders had already retreated from the city, opened the east gate and fled, taking only more than 60 guards with them.

Li Hao pointed at the enemy guards who were fleeing in a hurry eight miles away with a feather fan, and said lightly: "Cheetah, capture this army alive." ”

"Yes!" The cheetah gave up his orders and left with a group of ten people.

After the last battle, the special forces suffered heavy losses, and there were only a dozen people left, Li Hao added the five of them to the special combat team, and Jin Li and them were all first-class good players except for Qin Wei's poor martial arts, although they were a little older, but fortunately, the foundation was good, and after more than two months of special training, their strength improved by leaps and bounds.

The cheetah team rode out, like a gust of wind, chasing the enemy general, the enemy general just fled for his life at this moment, and dared to turn back to meet the attack, the two chased and fled, and it only took a moment to travel more than 20 miles.

After a long time, the herald came to report: "Report to the military division, all the enemy soldiers have surrendered, and the 20,000 citizens in the city are all kneeling and begging for mercy." ”

At this time, the cheetahs also returned, their clothes and armor were covered with blood, and the head of the enemy commander was carried in his hand, and when he came closer, he dismounted and accused: "Master, the subordinates are not doing their jobs well, and they mistakenly killed the enemy commander in the melee, so they can only bring back their heads." ”

"It's okay, get up." Li Hao helped him up, raised his watch and looked at it, and said lightly, "It's just an hour." He raised his feather fan and pointed to Jiaohe City, and said slowly, "Order, enter the city." ”

"Into town!" The flying eagle shouted loudly and conveyed the commander's order.

Everyone went back to camp one after another, integrated the team, and slowly entered Jiaohe City.

When I entered the city, I saw that the streets were full of Gaochang people, and there were Tang soldiers guarding them along the way to prevent a counterattack.

Li Hao led the army to the Gaochang City Guard, began to settle the people, and then issued an order: "All the Gaochang soldiers and civilians who participated in the resistance will be captured and escorted to Tingzhou." ”

More than 5,000 soldiers and civilians in the city participated in the resistance, and all of them were sent to Tingzhou overnight.

Early the next morning, Li Hao reorganized, prepared enough grain and grass, and began to lead the army to the north, and next, he was going to capture Gaochang City.

Seven days after Li Hao captured Jiaohe City, Hou Junji arrived at Tiandi City and began to attack the city.

Li Hao led the army to meet Chen Yong, the commander of Liangzhou Zhichong, fifty miles north of Gaochang City, and he was ordered by Li Hao to transport siege baggage to come here in advance, in order to save time, because to attack the small Jiaohe City, there are not so many siege equipment, you know, these siege equipment, there are five catapults.

In this era, the catapult is definitely the most awesome siege equipment, comparable to the cannons of later generations, Li Hao does not know much about the strength of Gaochang City, but conservatively estimated, there are at least 15,000 soldiers and horses, after all, this is the capital of Gaochang, not as easy to fight as Jiaohe City.

Li Hao led the army to camp ten miles outside Gaochang City, thinking that the enemy would take advantage of the night to rob the camp, so he set up an empty camp plan, wanting to annihilate the enemy's soldiers who robbed the camp, and then used his own soldiers and horses to disguise themselves as soldiers to rob the camp and blend into the city.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhisheng was too timid and did not come to rob the camp, which made Li Hao disappointed, since the other party chose to defend the city, then Li Hao could only attack, before attacking the city, you must make some preparations, first of all, you must understand how many soldiers there are in the enemy's city, which can be estimated by the number of defenders at the head of the city, Li Hao calculated from the number of defenders at the head of the enemy that there are nearly 20,000 soldiers in their city, this strength is really a bit unexpected by Li Hao.

Since ancient times, if you want to attack the city, the strength must exceed the other party, after the history of countless siege combat experience summary, come to the conclusion that five times the strength is a critical point, less than five times the strength, it is difficult to conquer the enemy city, more than five times the strength, the grasp will be much greater, so the surname Sun once said: ten to besiege it, five to attack it.

However, now Li Hao plans to take Gaochang before the cold snap arrives, otherwise things will be difficult to do, so he has never thought about the idea of besieging the city.

At present, his troops are not more than the other party, but less than the other party, and it is still very difficult to capture Gaochang.

In the face of the 10,000 Tang troops outside the city, Lu Zhisheng was worried, he had already received the battle report, the Tang army led by Li Hao captured Jiaohe City in half an hour, although the defenders of Jiaohe City were only more than 4,000, but he thought that he would be able to last for ten days and a half months, consume the Tang army's sharpness and strength, but he didn't expect to be conquered in half an hour, which simply frightened him, he finally realized that he and his father had provoked a big tiger, and now, the 10,000 Tang troops outside the city were the ones who conquered Jiaohe City in half an hour, Although there were 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, he was still worried that his king's chair would not be captured before it was hot.

Li Hao was stationed outside the city all night, did not wait for the messenger of Gaochang, he was very disappointed, the next morning, ordered the whole army to march, surrounded Gaochang City on three sides, this is the authentic way of encircling three que.

Facing the Tang army, which looked like a soldier, the Gaochang army at the head of the city was suddenly in a panic, countless soldiers poured into the city, and there was no place to stand on the city wall.

Li Hao beckoned, Lu Yun handed him an iron horn, Li Hao picked up the horn "Hey, hey, hey" and tried a few times, and found that the amplification effect was acceptable, but it was far worse than the sound, it didn't matter, as long as the enemy could hear it.

He put his mouth to the trumpet and shouted, "Listen to me, people in the city!" You're surrounded! You have the right to be silent! But everything you say! All will be - last words! ”

The soldiers looked at Li Hao with strange eyes, what kind of bullshit persuasion is this, Li Hao was embarrassed for a while, handed the iron horn to Lu Yun, and said, "It's better for you to come, you have a loud voice." ”

Lu Yun was also embarrassed for a while, what does it mean to have a loud voice, is this black him or praise him, he took the iron horn and asked Li Hao: "What did you say?" ”

Li Hao thought for a while and said: "You just let Lu Zhisheng come out and be bound and surrendered, so that you can go to Chang'an to live without worrying about food and clothing for a lifetime, otherwise this military division will make other people's heads fall to the ground!" Note! Words must be fierce, they must be fierce, they must be fierce, they must scare him. ”

"Oh." Lu Yun nodded, said words in his heart for a moment, and suddenly opened his throat and yelled, "Ju Zhisheng, you fucking get out of here, obediently tie yourself into zongzi, do you want to wait for our military advisor to enter the city and cut off your head to make a night pot!" You surrender now, and our military advisor guarantees that you will have no worries about your life......"

After Lu Yun finished yelling, he turned his head to look at Li Hao, but saw Li Hao looking at him with a contemptuous expression: "I made you fierce, I didn't let you swear, your quality is so low, I am very embarrassed." ”
