Chapter 720: Ice City Defense Strategy (Subscription Requested)
"Quick, pour all the water down."
"Don't be reluctant to pour it, you didn't buy this water, pour more and sprinkle it all on me from the city wall to the outside of the city."
Outside the north gate, thanks to the terrain surrounded by water, the distance between the city wall and the river bank is not far, and Mo Xiaobai made a decision after inspecting the city tower.
Open the door and go out of the city, let the soldiers fetch water from the river, and then pour it on the only sand outside the city.
If it doesn't work once, it will be done twice, and if it can't be poured twice, it will not be done three times.
At the same time, he took a rope to carry water to the head of the city, and poured it down the battlements, filling the entire wall.
Mo Xiaobai's purpose is very simple, that is, to turn this low water city into an ice city, and never let Liu Heimin's soldiers and horses attack comfortably.
As for the pontoon bridge outside the city, Mo Xiaobai did not destroy it, firstly, this kind of pontoon bridge is too easy to build, and secondly, he noticed that there were Liu Heimin's soldiers and horses on the opposite bank, and he wanted to come to his side and his every move was under surveillance. I didn't attack tonight because of the sudden blizzard, which caught the other party off guard.
In fact, Mo Xiaobai's guess was very correct.
When Li Guang and others led the soldiers and horses to hand over to dozens of soldiers under Luo Shixin's command, everything that happened in the city of Zhushui had already fallen into the eyes of Liu Heimin's Han army outpost.
When several sentry agents sent the news back to the front camp, Gao Yaxian, who was the former camp commander, frowned in his eyes: "Qin Hu, Zhao He listens to the order." ”
"The end will be."
"Order the two of you to quickly take 500 soldiers out of the camp to beat the drums, and first startle the Tang army in the water city."
Qin and Zhao, who were in the queue, looked bitter when they heard this, and some reluctantly hugged their fists to accept their lives.
People who are blown by the wind and snow are almost unable to open their eyes, and they still have to go out of camp at this time?
Fortunately, they were not asked to attack the city in the blizzard at night, and the two rubbed their hands together and walked out of the big tent.
When the two braved the wind and snow to let hundreds of soldiers line up to beat the drums on a cold day, the drums were not particularly loud due to the freezing weather of freezing hands and feet.
Mo Xiaobai stood outside the city and naturally heard it clearly, at first he was startled, thinking that Liu Heimin was going to attack, but he couldn't help but laugh when he looked at it.
What's that?
Come out on a cold day to scare people?
Really good at playing!
The rogue rabbit was originally watching the soldiers of Big Dream City working on the side, and after hearing the dense drumbeat, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Aren't you worried about Liu Heimin killing him during the day?" ”
"Won't you come?"
Mo Xiaobai pursed his lips, and then said: "Let them knock, if they can keep knocking all night, everyone who is tossing can't sleep, even if they are powerful." ”
The strategy of exhausting the enemy is to scare the snake.
It's not a very deep thing, who can't see through it.
"I'll go see what I'm doing."
The rogue rabbit walked along the city wall to the east, and soon saw his two allies and his subordinates.
Different from what he saw on Mo Xiaobai's side, the pink skeletons and fish in the well here were guarding the city gate as if they were facing a great enemy, and Jing Dan even transferred the few dozen people back to the city, and he didn't care about watering at all.
Compared with the two, the rogue rabbit shook his head helplessly.
In terms of calmness and composure, my side is really far worse than daydreaming.
But the rogue rabbit did not say this directly in front of his subordinates, but after discussing with Jing Dan and others, he assigned twenty people to continue watering for the sake of safety.
As a result, an hour later, Mo Xiaobai's side had already finished work, and his progress had not yet passed eighty percent.
Mo Xiaobai had no obligation to help him work, so he asked Li Guang to take turns to rest and find a few families to borrow a stove to make a fire for cooking.
No matter what the battle will be tomorrow, tonight's supper will still have to be a little full.
………
Early the next morning, the wind and snow weakened slightly.
Suddenly there was a continuous sound of footsteps on the empty riverbank, and at least one or two thousand Han soldiers with shields and ladders rushed to the city, and a minute later, some shield soldiers crossed the pontoon bridge less than 100 meters.
Shieldmen cover the approach of the ladder in front, which is a regular tactic for sieges.
But when they came to the city with their shields, the expected arrows did not appear, but the soles of their feet did not slip, and it was a little difficult to stand firm.
Walking forward on the ice with his feet still holding a shield in his hand, he didn't take three or five steps before someone slipped and fell.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Seeing that a soldier slipped on the ice outside the pontoon, Mo Xiaobai immediately waved his hand.
Several generals and thirty junior colonels immediately attacked, and the heavy armor-piercing arrows were not affected by too much wind at this moment, and they were still swept towards the target at a very fast speed.
"Whoosh"
Not to mention that this group of enemy soldiers is staggering at the moment, even if they have shields in their hands, they can shoot armor-piercing arrows. And with the strength of this group of elite military attachés of Great Dream City, whose martial attributes are also over 80 at the lowest, the fixed-point archery is almost always accurate.
'Puff puff puff'
The sound of sharp arrows piercing into the body continued to be heard, and after two rounds of firing, there were at least sixty or seventy people lying on the ground.
"Shield, shield down, step on the shield and rush up."
The first round of the attack failed, and the commanding generals in the rear quickly shouted a response strategy.
The wide wooden shield was placed on the ground, at least it wouldn't slip.
But before they could be happy, nearly a hundred soldiers had just rushed to the city, and they found a new problem.
There is ice under your feet, and there is ice at the city walls.
The first long ladder that had just been transported couldn't stand.
"Smash me!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy army below was still in the circle, Mo Xiaobai asked Li Guang and others to throw down the only remaining rolling stones and heavy logs at the head of the city.
There is no need to defend at the moment, and it is one that can hurt one.
Seeing that the offensive was not going well, the generals who stayed on the other side of the river gritted their teeth fiercely and also issued new orders.
Pile the corpses in front of you and use them to jam the ladder.
Mo Xiaobai hated this kind of enemy general who was good at flexibility and had a high sense of presence, and turned his head to look at the right side at the moment: "No doubt, can the Yuan Rong crossbow lock the enemy general?" ”
"Lord, the Yuanrong crossbow has been commissioned." Huang Yan, who had never participated in the attack, nodded immediately.
"Okay, your mission is to shoot the enemy general!"
As soon as Mo Xiaobai's order was issued, the Yuan Rong crossbow controlled by Huang Yan himself flicked violently, and a thick crossbow arrow flew across the river surface of thirty zhang in the blink of an eye, directly approaching the enemy general who kept shouting.
Immediately after, while Mo Xiaobai was waiting to see the picture of the other party being crucified, a red heat wave erupted from the enemy general's body.
The crisp sound of metal crashing resounded in a radius of 100 steps.
The Yuan Rong crossbow turned out to be ineffective.
The enemy general mastered the tactics of battle and the use of essence, and at the critical moment, he knocked the Yuanrong crossbow away with the broadsword in his hand.
Mo Xiaobai saw it clearly, and immediately frowned unhappily: "Go on, one is not enough for two, and two is not enough for three, I don't believe how powerful the enemy general on the other side can be." ”
"My lord, the enemy general has retreated, and now he is surrounded by guards."
"Then shoot me too, I have to frustrate their spirit today."
"Whoa!"
Huang Yan immediately beckoned several captains to help, and then the four Yuanrong crossbows at the head of the city worked together. Although he failed to kill the enemy general, he also stabbed his left and right guards into strings.
At the same time, on the wooden ladder that had just been erected, an enemy soldier finally climbed up.
