Chapter 80 It's the first time I've seen such a boastful person
"But don't tell me, this trick seems to work."
"This is interesting, I think you can try it."
"What are you trying to do? What if something happens to these dozens of elite soldiers? How can we save them?"
"It's just that we don't have enough troops to begin with." Everyone was talking among themselves.
Adili looked at the right general Ai Zezi, who was thinking attentively. The right general thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
The right general Ai Zezi looked at Ye Feng with complicated eyes and thought: "If this son is our enemy, he will be a terrible enemy."
Ye Feng kept looking at the sand table and did not notice this move of General You.
Adili saw that the right general Ai Zezi looked at Ye Feng with a bad look, but he didn't know why. Adili patted the right general Ai Zezi on the shoulder and said: "I don't know what the right general thinks of the suggestion made by my brother Ye Feng.
?”
The right general Ai Zezi calmed down and said: "I have never heard of this kind of fighting method, but I think I can give it a try."
Ye Feng added: "They probably don't know that the spy has been caught. They will definitely take action at the south gate tonight when they are alert. We can use the trick and invite you to the urn."
Adili and the right general Ai Zezi said in confusion: "Please enter the urn? What does it mean to invite you to the urn?"
Ye Feng explained: "We need to do some preparation work first and build a simple urn city inside the south gate. Install a wooden fence inside the south gate and open it upward first. When necessary, the wooden fence can be buckled to the door opening. The wooden fence
Add some more wood thorns on the outside side."
"The specific plan is this. When we are alert tonight, we will open the south gate. The enemy will think it is the internal opening. We will wait for them to rush into the urn city, and then put down the wooden fence to block the following enemies from entering the south gate. The archers ambush on the city wall will mainly shoot
Kill the enemies inside the Weng City, and use a small number of archers to disrupt the enemies outside the city." Ye Feng continued.
"After destroying the enemies in the urn city, we will focus on archers to shoot down the enemies outside the city, regain the city gate, and close the city gate again. Of course, we must pay attention to other city gates to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall and launching a sudden fierce attack." Ye Feng added.
Adili and the right general Ai Zezi were a little confused. Adili asked: "What is the urn city?"
Ye Feng forgot that during this period, the construction and city defense in the Western Region were still relatively backward. So he explained: "The Wengcheng is a defensive city defense building. The Wengcheng is a closed loop. One gate leads to the outside of the city, and the other gate leads to
Inside the city.”
"It is mainly aimed at the enemy troops attacking the city gate. Once the city gate is breached, the enemy will enter the barbican city. For the enemies who enter the barbican city, we can shoot arrows at the barbican city through the surrounding walls, so that these enemies will be attacked from both sides."
The right general Ai Zezi clapped his hands and said: "This urn city is wonderful. Good. From now on we will build an urn city at every city gate."
Hearing this, Ye Feng felt a little regretful. These too advanced things should not be displayed to non-Guwa people. I wonder if this barbican city will have an impact on the Han's attack when the Han conquers some countries in the Western Regions in the future.
Adili couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that brother Ye Feng usually looks honest and honest, and this kind of attention is quite destructive, but I like it."
Ye Feng thought to himself: "Baga, Lu Smida, I'm so stupid. It's the first time I've seen someone so complimentary."
The right general Aizezi discussed with Adili and the generals again, and finally decided to trap and kill the enemies at the south gate and conduct a sneak attack on grain and grass at the same time. They also made detailed arrangements for the operation.
So thirty elite soldiers were selected from the army, led by a palace corps commander who was promoted to deputy general. At nightfall, they secretly left the city through the west gate, walked around the pine forest to the north, and then passed through the ford to the vicinity of the enemy's supply camp on the east side.
At the same time, a method of mutual communication was established with them, allowing them to observe the flag display on the city from a distance, and the city would issue combat orders to the team through the flag display position.
Adili was responsible for arranging logistics personnel to build the urn at the south gate of the city as soon as possible. It didn't need to be too big, so he demolished nearby civilian houses to make the city wall, and even partially used the walls of nearby houses to build the city wall. Adili also arranged for carpenters to build it
The wooden fence.
Although the right general Ai Zezi currently has an army of nearly 900 people in name, most of them are old, weak, women and children. There are only more than 410 people in his prime, and he has sent out 30 elite soldiers, so there are only 300 left.
More than eighty middle-aged people.
The right general Aizezi left fifty archers and fifty infantry, a total of one hundred people, as a reserve force, and assigned them to four parts of the city for emergency reinforcements. Forty young soldiers and soldiers were assigned to each city gate.
Forty old and weak soldiers.
The remaining forty infantry and more than eighty cavalry are used as mobile troops. Tonight, fifty of the eighty cavalry will be used to attack the enemy. Their task is to go around the south gate and attack the enemy at the south gate from the flank.
The remaining thirty cavalry and forty infantry, as well as sixty soldiers and more than one hundred old and weak soldiers drawn from the reserve team, went into the battle at the South Gate Urn City.
Late at night, when the alarm was approaching, a troop of more than a hundred soldiers from the Loulan Kingdom quietly approached the south gate of Qiemo. The south gate of the Qiemo Kingdom opened the south gate disguised as soldiers from inside, and let the Loulan soldiers rush into the urn city.
Everything in Qiemo City was as planned in the script, ambush, encirclement and annihilation.
However, something unexpected happened to the thirty elite soldiers. They were discovered by patrolling soldiers in the transport camp, and the two sides started fighting in advance. Although the deputy general Batur who led the thirty elite soldiers was very brave, he lacked combat experience.
After his team was discovered, he still carried out the original plan and forced his way into the supply camp to burn the supplies. As a result, the opponent was already prepared, and all the soldiers from the supply camp rushed out, blocked the source of the fire, and began to chase and kill the soldiers of the Moguo Kingdom.
The retreat route of the thirty elite soldiers was cut off and they had to fight their way south. Fortunately, the soldiers in the opponent's supply camp were not elite soldiers. The thirty elite soldiers rushed into the southern pine forest and entered the Kunlun Mountains at the cost of eight casualties.
Several of the remaining twenty-two people suffered varying degrees of minor injuries. They had no choice but to lurk and wait for opportunities.
Since the Wengcheng at Qiemo City was not big, only thirty Loulan cavalry were put in and the gates were closed. The Loulan soldiers who entered the Wengcheng were either killed or captured.
Outside the city, there were seventy Loulan soldiers, twenty of whom were cavalry. The Loulan cavalry faced off against the Qiemo cavalry, blocking the Qiemo cavalry from killing the Loulan infantry and buying time for the infantry to retreat.
.
At the same time, Loulan's two hundred men who were preparing to attack the city also came up with reinforcements, and Qiemo's cavalry had to stop chasing and return to the city. In the battle at the south gate, Qiemo captured or killed Loulan soldiers at the cost of three killed and one injured.
Thirty-six people.
Overall, it was a small victory. The soldiers were encouraged, and the people in the city also dissipated the gloom caused by the previous invasion of the army.
The next day, Loulan soldiers were preparing to attack the city. They cut down wood in the pine forest to the north to strengthen the military camp and make siege equipment.
The people in the city were also reinforcing the city wall, preparing stones, pine tar, arrows, weapons, etc. Both sides were preparing to kill each other, but both sides were busy in relative peace.
However, the atmosphere was extremely strange and tense. Both sides were racing against time to make preparations. Under the surface of peace, the two sides were engaged in a secret contest.
For three consecutive days, the two sides lived in peace, just like two construction teams carrying out different projects. Loulan Kingdom established three camps outside the city, one at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, which is a sub-camp. The purpose is to be used with the main camp.
To provide support, and more importantly, you can climb high to observe the movements of some of the troops in the final city.
Because of Qiemo's previous attack on Loulan's baggage camp, the main camp and the baggage camp changed their locations. The main camp was set up two miles behind, and the baggage camp was moved to the west bank of the river, closer to the main camp.
In this way, the distance between the branch camp and the main camp is four miles, the distance between the main camp and the main camp is five miles, the distance between the branch camp and the main camp is about 6.4 miles, the distance between the main camp and the supply camp is five miles, and the distance between the branch camp and the supply camp is about five miles.
The camp is about 10.8 miles away.
This design can indeed make the three camps interact with each other, but it also increases the difficulty of the supply camp transporting supplies to the branch camp. It will take at least half a day for the carriage team of the supply camp to transport supplies to the branch camp and return.
.
If you include the preparation time, it will take more than half a day. Basically, a separate horse-drawn convoy is required to transport the main camp. This makes the originally stressful logistical supplies even more difficult.
In addition, all the troops have arrived on the west bank of the river. If the Qiemo Kingdom can block the east bank of the bridge, it will be even more difficult to transport subsequent supplies. At that time, they can only take the mountain road on the other side and transport it from the Kunlun Mountains, which will increase the difficulty exponentially.
.
The Loulan Kingdom's siege troops were well prepared. They prepared several crash carts for ramming the city gates, and some long ladders for climbing the city walls.
Loulan soldiers pressed on Qiemo City in two groups. Loulan soldiers insulted and challenged Qiemo City first. Naturally, Qiemo City's soldiers could not avoid the battle. Loulan General Kani, the left general, had no choice but to order a storm.
Loulan Kingdom sent 400 soldiers, divided into four groups to take turns to attack the city, without giving the soldiers in Qiemo City a chance to rest. After three consecutive days of attack, the soldiers of Loulan and Qiemo were very tenacious, but the three consecutive days of defense also gave way to
At the end of the day, the soldiers looked a little tired.
Ai Zezi, the right general of the Qiemo Kingdom, had to replace the defenders on the city wall with reserve troops. At the same time, he withdrew some of the soldiers from the other two North City Gates and West City Gates that were not attacked, and assigned them to the East City Gate, which was attacked one after another.
Gate and South Gate.
The siege continued like this for another two days, during which the Loulan Kingdom reinforced 100 people to participate in the siege. Although the proportion of the number of people was not large, for the two sides in the stalemate, this had a great impact on the Qiemo defenders.
A lot of pressure.
The right general Ai Zezi had no choice but to continue to deploy the remaining troops to support the east and south gates, and at the same time continue to draw troops from the north and west gates to supplement the east and south gates.
During this period, Ye Feng and Adili have been at the three points and one line between the right camp and the east and south gates. Today Ye Feng and Adili are at the right camp, listening to the right general Ai Zezi and several deputy generals.
Combat deployment and situation analysis.
The deputy general in charge of the East City Gate and the South City Gate asked for more troops, and the right general Ai Zezi had to consider continuing to draw troops from the North City Gate and the West City Gate.
The deputy generals at the North City Gate and West City Gate expressed their opposition, because with their remaining troops, even personnel rotation was a problem.
The opposing lieutenant general said: "Loulan has obviously not sent out all its troops to attack. If we draw more troops from the north and west gates, Loulan will suddenly attack these two gates and we will have no troops to defend them."
