Crypt siege does not mean digging down walls, it is a different tactic.

The so-called crypt is nothing more than digging tunnels into the city, making the towering city walls like ornaments, swaggering into the city.

Whether it is an attacker or a defender, in the face of this kind of warfare, it is necessary to have an experienced person to take on the guidance and defense work.

You have no experience, you dig underground day and night, you don't have any sense of direction, you don't know if you dig wrong, let alone determine where the access is. As for the defenders, it's good for ordinary people to be able to hear that someone is digging tunnels, but as for how many lines have been dug in that direction, there is no need to talk about it without rich experience.

Obviously, as the defender, Tianshui Town Xifu has no talents in this area at all, and it has not been attacked for many years? Even the coaches ignored the existence of listening.

I've always beaten others, and when I've been beaten, I'm angry when I talk about it.

And the army of the Western Regions is actually almost on fire, the Western Regions is not without a city, but it is probably not big, and it is not time-consuming and laborious to excavate. However, at this moment, it was better than luck.

The power of the catapult is not great, but it can't stand up to smash day and night, and no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be broken one day, not to mention that Tianshui City is in disrepair. And the excavation of the ground deviated from the direction without knowing it, and then misjudged the direction, and in a daze, the bottom of a section of the city wall was hollowed out, and then the catapult smashed it, good fellow, and it collapsed with a boom.

The huge gap is not too conspicuous, even if it is a fool leading the troops, he knows how to fight at this moment, what else to say? Rush with all your might!

"The first to attack the city, the marquis will be rewarded!"

With an order, the Western Regions army charged forward one after another as if it had been beaten with chicken blood.

In fact, it is a joke to reward the marquis with a thousand gold, probably in various films and television, the generals point their swords and shout 'how to attack the city first', so as to achieve the purpose of motivating the soldiers.

But if you calm down, you know that this thing is not realistic.

The first to take the city? After dodging arrows, rolling logs, boulders, and even golden soup, bravely climb the ladder to dodge or repel the spears stabbed from behind the battlements, and finally jump in faith!

Congratulations, you've finally become the first person to go to town!

But, wait for death!

The first one to climb up means that there are no companions, no support, and all the enemy troops are everywhere you look, all of them are sharp blades that glitter with cold light.

What should I do? Open the unequaled?

Don't make a fuss, it's a game. Basically except to die or die.

Since they are all dead, what else is the reward, at most it is to pay more pensions to the family, and if it is not good, it will be exploited.

No matter what, the effect is always there, and hitting the gap is better than climbing the city wall. If you can't get the first merit, it's good to mix up more military merits.

This blow is in the dark, and it has been attacking for twelve hours without interruption, and I am afraid that it will be blocked as soon as I rest.

The people in Tianshui City were panicked, and no one dared to sleep easily, but the Western Regions Army was much more relaxed, taking turns to fight, and their spirits were relatively full. Of course, it's only relative. How tiring it is to fight a battle, only those who have fought will know, let alone this kind of high-intensity non-stop fighting.

For the city defense soldiers of Tianshui City, this is definitely a hardship. Fight, tired, change guards, rest, wake up, rest, fight again. The state of increasing exhaustion almost becomes a numb machine, repeating and repeating.

Li Xiuning still stayed in her old position, looking at the top of the mountain, to be honest, Tianshui City held out for three days and was not broken, which was a bit unexpected by her. After all, as long as this thing rushes through the opening a little bit, and the Western Regions Army enters and loses its people, it will immediately cause a chain reaction and lead to a rout on the whole front.

Of course, Li Xiuning also believes that even if Zhenxi Mansion is negligent in defense, the centuries-old martial arts Jiangmen inheritance is not a joke, and the people of Yongzhou are not powerless, it is a matter of life and death, even if they are attacked into the city, the people of Zhenxi Mansion and Tianshui, who are forced into a desperate situation, will definitely make the Western Regions Army suffer a big loss, and even retreat directly.

And Li Xiuning is waiting for this time.

At the beginning, Ashina Falcon swept through Bingzhou and further invaded Yuzhou, and the siege of Luoyang can be described as high-spirited.

However, after attacking Luoyang City, Sun Shouren led his army to suddenly appear and start a decisive battle with the Turkic army, which had lost its cavalry advantage, and finally defeated Ashina Falcon and fled after paying great casualties.

At this time, Li Xiuning is also ready to follow suit.

There aren't really many options.

At the beginning, Sun Shouren had at least nearly 100,000 troops. And she Li Xiuning only has 20,000 under her command, and in the case of Tianshui City, where she has to shrink back to life and death, 20,000 people take the initiative to provoke more than 70,000 cavalry troops in the Western Regions is no less than looking for death, no matter how arrogant she is, the battle is not like that, not to mention that Zhenxi Mansion is not under Zhou Shaoyu's orders.

Unless Zhou Shaoyu is in danger in the city, why would Li Xiuning bother so much to suffer so much loss to rescue Tianshui City?

But how could Zhou Shaoyu be in Tianshui City. On the contrary, Zhou Shaoyu is still staying on the northwest border of Bingzhou, waiting for her support. Of course, Zhou Shaoyu did not say this explicitly, but Li Xiuning could see Zhou Shaoyu's thoughts and arrangements clearly. If she can't catch up, it will be impossible for her to enter Youzhou, after all, the troops are there.

"The city is broken!" With Qin Liangyu's exclamation, Li Xiuning's eyes lit up! Immediately shouted: "Do what you planned!" ”

Tianshui City, after three days and three nights of continuous bloody battles, the defense line at the gap was finally broken through, batch after batch of Western Regions troops rushed into the city, and the soldiers who were originally resting in the camp tent outside the city also woke up, and quickly gathered towards Tianshui City, and after a while, the city gate was wide open!

At the beginning, Ashina Falcon broke through Luoyang, except for the wounded battalion and Ainur's troops who stayed in the city, the rest of the army all attacked the city. With Sun Shouren's killing, Ainul saw that the situation was not good, and quickly evacuated, and there was no intention of intercepting at all. This is also a matter of course, how can she stop her little force?

And now, the Western Regions army is not advancing, all 50,000 soldiers have entered the city, leaving 20,000 troops to stand by in case of changes.

The arrangement can be described as safe, but the psychology is neglected.

What is most important to the soldiers?

The first must be alive, people are dead, what else is there to say. The second is looting, which is one of the good ways for ordinary soldiers to make a fortune. And the third is to obtain military merit while saving one's life. Military merit means reward, it means promotion and wealth, and no one will not want it.

So when is the best time to take military merit in all wars? This includes the cities that have already been breached! It's like a big girl like a flower, and the coat that has been stripped of layers, just need to work harder, it's a beautiful enjoyment.

Looting, snatching women, beheading military exploits, you name it.

It's obviously at your fingertips, but what is the result? What's that? Staying in the camp? Fog grass, if it weren't for the military order, it would be a minute to show you believe it or not.

It was because of the soldiers who stayed behind, where did they have any precautions, and they stared at Tianshui City in the distance in groups of three or five and complained, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"I heard that the accumulation of hundreds of years of accumulation of the Jiang family in Zhenxi Mansion has been preserved in Tianshui City, how many treasures must there be!"

"No, there are still beauties! Last year, before the birth of the year, the Sealand country presented a pair of beautiful sisters, I had the privilege to see a glance from afar, that face, that posture ......! ”

"Pull it down, that's what only big people are qualified to have, where is our turn, it's just that we have met, do you dare to ask for it? If you want me to say, it's a young woman, I'm not married yet, so it's not bad to grab one and go back to be a mother-in-law. ”

"You guys just think about the beauty, let's all stay outside the city, no matter how rich Tianshui City is, no matter how many beauties there are, it has nothing to do with us."

A burst of angry scolding and complaining followed.

"Didn't you notice? Those who stayed outside the city were all soldiers from small countries, who clearly saw us as bullies, and didn't even prepare us to drink soup. ”

"There are still more than 400 people in my XX country, what about you?"

"I am XX country, more than 700 people."

"I XX country, more than 300 people ......"

Everyone chatted, okay, it's really like this, and there was a burst of anger. It's not that the brothers have not fought bravely to kill the enemy, so why should they be treated so differently?

While they were talking, they didn't even notice that an army was quietly and rapidly approaching......

Inside Tianshui City.

As a veteran general, the Jiang family of Zhenxi Mansion has a huge influence in Yongzhou, even if its reputation has fallen again and again because of the war against the Turks, but in this acre and three points of land, it is still the master of the same word.

The assumption about the destruction of the city is not unprepared, especially during the three days of bloody battles, and the people in the city are ready for the last fight. Therefore, the progress of the Western Regions Army that entered the city was quite unsmooth, and it was not at all like the soldiers left behind outside the city thought that they came in to take advantage of it.

Rushing into the yard, maybe a person jumped out of the water tank next to it, and it was a knife. Kick open the door, and there's probably a spear behind it. Even if you are walking down the street, you may be shot by a hunting bow that does not know where it is hidden.

It's miserable, but the morale is still very high, after all, the city has been broken, and it has been fought to this extent, and there is no reason to retreat.

"Report ...... The West City Gate is in an emergency! ”

"Let them give up the gates! Although let the people of the Western Regions open. Retreat to street fighting! I don't have any extra troops at my disposal! But we won't lose, as long as the hundreds of thousands of people in Tianshui work together, there is no reason to lose! ”

Hundreds of thousands is an exaggeration, at most 200,000 at most, Tianshui City is so big, and it is not like the Youwang who collects all kinds of fleeing people into the city, plus a period of death and injury in defending the city, the real considerable combat power is actually not much.

Moreover, in the end, the city was broken, and the people were panicked, and resistance was a last resort. It is very similar to Mo to fight back at this time, but it is still difficult to say what the result will be.

Most of the entire Jiang family was sent out, leaving only some members of the family and the strong servants of the family to stay in the ancestral house, and in the back hall, all the female dependents of the Jiang family sat together, and one after another white silk was hung on the beam.

There must be those who are afraid of death, but in this atmosphere, they can only stay honestly, looking at Bai Aya in front of them in a daze.

"Report ...... Good news, great news! General Li of Bingzhou commanded the Suzaku Army to raid the camp in the Western Regions outside the city! ”

"What!? Good, good, good! I'm safe in Tianshui City! ”

Even the Jiang family, who stayed in the ancestral home, learned the news, and it was impossible for the Western Regions Army not to know. The street fighting was scorching, the bloody battle was still ongoing, and at this time, hearing that the rear camp was attacked, the impact on morale was definitely huge.

What if the camp is knocked down? Then they will not be made dumplings if they stay in the city?

Although Li Xiuning did not directly participate in the war in Tianshui City, he had actually disturbed the minds of the Western Regions Army, and he had no intention of fighting, which made the pressure in Tianshui City drop sharply and the odds of victory increased sharply.

What's more, the benefits are maximized.

First of all, because it was a siege, the vast majority of the 50,000 Western Regions troops who broke into Tianshui City were not horseback, in other words, as long as they took the Western Regions military camp outside the city, they would not only harvest the wealth and military rations they had plundered, but also tens of thousands of war horses!

Secondly, to save people, it is also necessary to seize the opportunity. For example, if a person walks in a good manner, and is suddenly pushed down by someone, even if he knows afterwards that this is to save him, otherwise he may be hit by a car, he still has no real feeling, gratitude? Change the small-minded one, and hate you if you don't make a good fuss, let alone be grateful.

But if you watch the car crash and can't take a step, and someone rushes over and pushes you out to save your life, will you be grateful to Dade?

At present, the Western Regions Army has entered the city, even if Li Xiuning does not appear, there is a certain chance that he will succeed in self-defense, but in the end, that is something that has not happened, and the fact is that because Li Xiuning led the army to appear, the Western Regions Army has no intention of fighting and Tianshui City is still there, otherwise, it is likely that Tianshui City will be broken!

In this way, what do you think the people of Tianshui and even the Jiang family in Zhenxi Mansion will think?

These two points have both profit and fame.

The third point is how to benefit one's own forces in the overall situation. Li Xiuning naturally has her considerations.

Although the Western Regions army left behind in the camp was also 20,000, they were directly caught off guard by resentment and defenselessness.

Not to mention that the mentality is not right, even if there is no complaint, few people will still be more vigilant at this time, originally, seeing that the city is about to be broken and won, isn't it, trapped for so long, it is finally going to blossom and bear fruit, how can you pay attention to anything else.

The handover of troops was short, and before it lasted for a quarter of an hour, the Western Regions Army that remained behind began to rout.

This is not only a factor such as mentality and defense, but also because the remaining Western Regions troops are all from small countries, and their composition is complex, and it is difficult to effectively manage them directly. Let me go to the front for support? Isn't this a death? I'm going to go to you, I'm not going anyway!

In this way, how can you fight?

"Continue to act as planned." Before the army left behind in the Western Regions was completely defeated, Li Xiuning immediately made arrangements.
