In the siege of the city, it was difficult for the cavalry to do anything. Li Luo ordered two battalions of infantry and Huben to attack the main attack. They protected the two wings with fire, and the cavalry went out. They stationed troops on Shuoxi City beyond the reach of their bows and arrows. If there was any change, they were the first to defeat the enemy.??
?? ????
As soon as the hour came, the three armies attacked Shuoxi fiercely. Shuoxi was attacked on several sides. He could only hear the shouts of the defenders on the city wall. Li Luo did not spare any effort. The infantry battalion and the Huben battalion set up siege equipment, except for the crossing.
Outside the trench, people rushed, hit towers, ladders, and hurled stones to push them into the vicinity of Shuoxi East City. The soldiers of the two battalions of infantry and Shesheng rushed forward to attack Shuoxi East City.
Perhaps Dagan's momentum was so great that it attracted more than half of the Xirong garrison. Upon seeing this, Huimeng and Baihuo stepped up their offensive, leaving Shuoxi City in danger.
Li Luo and Yun Wuyan personally supervised the battle, and Li Luo led his troops into battle several times. The worst time was when Li Luo climbed up to the city wall alone, but then retreated, shocking the Xirong defenders into cold sweats.
Just after noon, the three armies took turns to attack the city. The fighting under Shuoxi City did not stop for a moment. In the evening, the offensive of the armies gradually slowed down, and the remaining Xirong army had a chance to breathe. Looking at Shuoxi City Wall from a distance, the flags were tilted this way and that, and the soldiers guarding the city were gone.
There is no time left to arrange the military flags.
Yun Wuyan reported back the military situation from his own camp. More than 5,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. The battle to attack the city was like a big city like Shuoxi. If you want to break the city, you will have to suffer heavy casualties.
Li Luo listened to Yun Wuyan's report of the number of casualties, and felt bitter in his heart. Even if it was several times the number of soldiers defending the city, it would still be extremely difficult to capture a city. Fortunately, Hui Meng and Bao Huo had scattered a lot of them.
If it were not the case for the enemy, I am afraid that in half a day today, there would be over 10,000 dead and wounded soldiers.
At midnight, the three armies attacked the city again until dawn, when they dispersed again. For seven days, Huimeng worshiped fire and Dagan exchanged news and attacked the city at the same time. The Xirong garrison was exhausted, and Huimeng and worshiped fire secretly died in the city.
The soldiers took the opportunity to set fire to disrupt Xirong's formation, causing internal and external troubles on Shuoxi.
After another attack on the city, Li Luo, Shen Xiangdong and Yun Wuyan looked at the Shuoxi city wall. Yun Wuyan let out a sigh of relief and said, "General, Shuoxi city is not safe."
"Yes," Li Luo nodded and said, "If there is another battle, one of the three city gates will be destroyed."
Shen Xiangdong stroked his beard and said, "What Jia Luo hates most now is that he didn't surrender to me Da Gan earlier."
Li Luo was stunned for a moment and replied in a harsh voice: "Mr. Shen, am I a bit unscrupulous?"
Shen Xiangdong knew that Li Luonian and the Xirong court had sent people to ask for surrender in the past few days, but Li Luo refused. He even drove the Xirong envoys out of the camp in front of the Hui Meng and Huo worship messengers.
Shen Xiangdong smiled and shook his head and said: "General Li, you don't have to think this way. This is how the two armies fight. If you stick to these old rules, you will still suffer the people of Dagan in the end. The war will not go away, but it is just for the wings of the country. The disaster will be far away. Now
There is no need to fight against each other and worship fire for the sake of Shuoxi City. Over the years, Dagan has suffered countless hardships in order to cherish its reputation. Even the Mengjue once surrendered to Dagan, but so what, now they just want to go to war.
When troops are sent out, it is a pity that those pedantic scholars in the court are always complacent. They keep talking about how I, Da Gan, have such a **** style."
Yun Wuyan nodded and said: "In the past dynasties, if the literati harmed the country, the disaster would be more serious than the gain or loss of this province or a state. General, once this battle is over, I will ensure the peace of the West Palace for twenty years. What I have done now
, and it’s worth it.”
Li Luo smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that the people of Xirong will suffer."
Shen Xiangdong also sighed and said: "Having said that, when the two countries fought, either Xirong was defeated miserably, or the people of Dagan were displaced. But as long as ambitious people are alive, war will always resume. General Li has been in Zhuo for a long time. City, you should know that even if Zhuo City is so wealthy, intrigues are inevitable." After saying this, he seemed to be thinking of something, glanced at Li Luo, and stopped talking.
Li Luo smiled solemnly and said: "Yes, the rebellion of the Grand Master is still fresh in Li Luo's memory. The winner is a prince and the loser is a bandit."
While the three of them were talking, Huchajing galloped over on horseback and shouted: "General, worship the fire and attack the city."
Yun Wuyan said in surprise: "So urgent."
Huchajing looked at Li Luo and said anxiously: "General, Baihuo didn't inform us and attacked the city first. Should we also send troops?"
Li Luo shook his head and said, "No rush, wait and see."
Huchajing was stunned for a moment, and Yun Wuyan smiled and said, "Why, does General Huchajing remember the treasures and beauties in the city?"
Huchajing chuckled and said, "I don't care about the external things, but our army has a lot of casualties. How can we get the benefits of worshiping fire and returning to Mongolia in vain?"
Shen Xiangdong smiled and said: "The gains and losses cannot be based on just one city. If you want to capture Shuoxi, when General Li led his army to attack the city wall yesterday, our army was sure to break through the east gate of Shuoxi."
Huchajing thought for a while, understood, looked at the three of them with admiration, and said: "General, I understand." After saying this, he said: "Then the general will order the officers and soldiers in the camp to prepare. If the city is broken, our army will also Capture the east city of Shuoxi."
Li Luo nodded and called Chajing to take the order and leave.
Yun Wuyan looked at Huchajing's back and praised: "Everyone in Dagan has said that General Huchajing is brave and reckless, but he is really blind. Looking at the generals in the army, there are not many people like General Huchajing. He is both wise and brave."
Shen Xiangdong stroked his beard and said, "What you hear with your ears is false, but your eyes are convinced." The two looked at each other and smiled, leaving only Li Luo who was wandering away.
Soon after Baihuo attacked the city, Hui-Mongolia also attacked the city with all its troops. Dagan finally sent out troops, and did not attack with all his strength as in the previous days. It seemed that he was waiting for Baihuo or Hui-Mongolia to attack Shuoxi first.
I don't know who shouted: "The city is broken."
Several generals in the army looked up, and there was indeed a huge chaos on the city wall. The soldiers of Xirong were crying and shouting. Yun Wuyan sighed and said: "Xirong relies on 20,000 remnant troops, but it is actually capable of defeating more than 300,000." The army has been in force for more than seven days, and the number of dead and wounded in all the tribes of Dagan exceeds the number of soldiers guarding the city of Xirong. This city is indeed the most difficult to attack." After saying this, he glanced at Li Luo, thought for a moment, and lowered his voice. He said in a voice: "I heard that Rizhabie captured many people from Zushan the day before and forced Xirong to open the city gate in front of the city."
Li Luo said sadly: "I already know that General Yun doesn't need to be taboo. General Chi told me that Miss Changning is not among them."
Yun Wuyan was startled and said nothing. Shen Xiangdong continued: "Zhabie did something like this that is deeply disgusted by the Xirong people. I'm afraid he will regret it in the future."
Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "Who broke the city first?"
A general beside him said: "General Hui, it's Hui Meng."
"What a coincidence?" Yun Wuyan said in surprise.
Li Luo smiled indifferently and said: "Let's go too. Since the North City is destroyed, the East City will probably not last long. Let's go see if General Helian and Wuta have captured it."
Several generals ran towards the east gate of Shuoxi. When they saw that they were approaching before they could wait, Hucha Jing galloped over on his horse and said: "General, the city gate has been broken. The remnants of the Xirong army have scattered and fled. Hui Meng has sent troops into the city." .”(To be continued.)
