Chapter five hundred and thirteenth thrilling (2)
"Old Dan, what happened?"
Li Xun walked quickly to Shan Qiu and looked outside. It was dark and silent and he couldn't see anything.
Shan Qiu was not distracted, his eyes were still fixed forward, and he said in a deep voice: "The Tubo people may be preparing for a night attack."
Night attack?
Li Xun frowned and looked in the direction of the Tubo camp. In the dark night, there was no movement and no abnormality was found.
"I said, Lao Dan, there's no movement at all."
"Since it is a night attack, how can we easily detect the movement?"
Shan Qiu smiled coldly, took the bow and arrows from the soldier next to him, opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and quickly shot three arrows in succession.
Li Xun immediately understood Shan Qiu's intention, clenched his fists slightly, and stared straight ahead.
The first arrow fell, silently, the second arrow fell, still silent, the third arrow fell, a scream sounded out, although the scream was stopped abruptly as soon as it started, that is, in just a moment,
But Li Xun and others heard it clearly.
Shanqiu was condescending, standing on the city wall and shooting arrows, and the arrows could reach a distance of two hundred meters at most. In other words, the Tubo army took advantage of the darkness to approach Wu'an City at most two hundred meters away. If Shanqiu hadn't been vigilant and made such a move, the consequences would have been
It's really unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Li Xun suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He immediately pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and shouted loudly to the left and right: "The Tibetans are attacking, prepare to defend the city."
When Li Xun finished speaking, he was answered by an equally loud Tubo voice outside the city.
Someone understood the Tubo language and quickly shouted to Li Xun: "Commander, the Tubo general has given an order to speed up and attack the city."
The Tubo people already knew about this night attack, but ultimately failed. They were discovered by the Jin army at the last moment, so they no longer concealed it. As the leading general issued the order, roars and shouts of death began to sound. The army accelerated and moved towards the only remaining enemy.
Kill Wu'an City two hundred meters down.
The siege began, and Li Xun retreated to the back. It was not that he was afraid of death. Li Xun was the commander-in-chief and nothing could happen to him. Moreover, he also knew his own abilities. Rushing to the front line would not have any effect. As long as he was on the first line of the city wall,
On the front line, just boost the morale of the soldiers.
The Tubo attack was very fierce. Li Xun didn't feel anything yet, but Shanqiu discovered a problem.
"Li Xun, something is wrong."
Li Xun looked at Shan Qiu and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Shan Qiu pointed at the attacking Tibetan army with a heavy face and said: "Although the Tibetan army's attack is very fierce, it lacks stamina. It is very likely that it is just a feint attack in the direction of the east city."
Feint?
Li Xun immediately understood that Dongcheng was a feint attack, and the main attack direction might be Nancheng and Beicheng.
Thinking of this, Li Xun suddenly woke up and immediately roared angrily, asking people to find Zhao Zhang, Lei Wanhai, Yu Yanhui and others. He ordered Zhao Zhang and Lei Wanhai to lead 5,000 troops to Beicheng, and Yu Yanhui to lead 5,000 soldiers.
Head to Nancheng.
The war first broke out from the East City side. The defenders in the South City and North City were still in panic, wondering whether they should bring people over to help. However, without Li Xun's order, they did not dare to act rashly. From the outbreak of the Tubo siege to the single-handedly
Qiu discovered the problem, and Li Xun ordered Beicheng and Nancheng to increase their troops by five thousand each, which took less than a quarter of an hour.
Shan Qiu's guess was absolutely correct. Zhao Zhang, Lei Wanhai, Yu Yanhui and others led the soldiers to leave. Not long after, the war between Nancheng and Beicheng also broke out. Tonight's night attack was obviously carefully arranged by Tubo. Dongcheng
It is indeed just a feint attack, with only 10,000 people, while the South City and the North City have 20,000 each. These two directions are the main attacks.
Tubo's sudden attack on the city caught the defenders of Nancheng and Beicheng by surprise. Zheng Chun was good at defending the city. Although the Nancheng guarded by him was a little panicked under the Tubo raid, due to the complete defense layout, it was soon overturned.
He stood firm and barely withstood the mad siege of the Tibetan army.
The North City where Zhao Wei was in charge was in a critical situation. The Tubo took advantage of the panic of the Jin army, and thousands of Tubo soldiers rushed to the city wall and fought with the Jin army defending the city. Fortunately, Li Xun reacted quickly.
, made timely adjustments. Just as more and more Tubo soldiers rushed to the city wall, five thousand soldiers led by Zhao Zhang and Lei Wanhai arrived and blocked the gap in time. After nearly half of it, there was a fierce fighting.
, finally eliminated the nearly 2,000 Tibetan soldiers who rushed to the city wall, and repelled the first wave of Tibetan attacks.
The sound of drums and horns sounded, and the Tibetan soldiers attacking the city retreated like a tide.
Seeing the Tibetan army retreating, Li Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, there were bursts of noise in the city behind him. Li Xun turned around and saw countless figures rushing towards the city wall, half of them
The reaction speed of Shichen, Zhao Feidu, Gu Yong and others was really slow. It seems that they turned a deaf ear to Li Xun's warning. After returning, they all went to sleep and were not worried at all, otherwise it would not be possible
It takes half an hour to gather the army.
Li Xun shook his head and murmured to himself: "If you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you are afraid of teammates who are like pigs."
Standing close enough to hear clearly, Shan Qiu couldn't help but asked strangely: "Li Xun, what do you mean?"
Li Xun chuckled: "It's nothing, it's just a joke, you won't understand even if I tell it."
Shan Qiu glanced at Li Xun strangely, it's already this time, are you still in the mood to joke?
"Li Xun, has Tubo begun to attack the city?"
After the army climbed up the city wall, Gu Yong asked loudly.
Li Xun nodded: "The Tubo night attack, the first wave of attacks has been repelled by me."
Zhao Feidu's face was not very good. Li Xun warned everyone not to let down their guard. He dismissed the matter and led the army away. Now that things are like this, he is a little embarrassed and said harshly: "Maybe this is just Tubo."
The army attempted to attack the city once, but since it has been repulsed, it should be fine."
never mind?
Li Xun glanced at Zhao Feidu coldly and said quietly: "It's okay, you can see for yourselves."
After hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look towards the Tubo camp.
The retreating Tibetan army did not retreat too far. For a mile, the scattered armies began to gather again, forming a neat formation. And further away, at the Tubo camp, fires lit up one by one, and finally
Forming a dazzling place, as they slowly approached, everyone finally saw clearly, dozens of siege towers tens of meters high, made of wood, cowhide, and iron sheets. Driven by the Tubo army, they slowly
