Chapter 397: Striking the West


Feng Shuangli was the Dinghai Shenzhen of Jianchang Western Army.

With his presence, most of the Western soldiers calmed down and began to carry logs and rocks and actively carry out defensive battles.

Compared with daytime operations, night operations add many uncertainties.

You might not be able to see clearly even when holding a torch, as many people in this era suffered from night blindness.

But this is the same for the Jianchang Western Army and the Western Army led by Li Dingguo.

Since both parties are fair, there is nothing to fear.

And to a certain extent, the defenders perform better in the dark.

Because they only need to smash the rolling wood and stone down.

The siege party could not hold a torch because they had to climb the ladder, so they could not see clearly what was falling from the top of the city.

As long as the soldiers defending the city do not act foolishly and disorderly, they will not be passive.

They did panic at first, but now they have calmed down and started to defend step by step.

Tung oil was poured into a large pot and boiled, and piles of rolling logs and stones were thrown down.

The vanguard troops that attacked the city gradually suffered casualties, and they were in chaos as soon as they appeared.

However, Li Dingguo's attitude was very firm.

He would fight no matter how many people died.

Because in the West City, a detachment of troops he sent was conducting a fierce attack from a relatively short city wall.

The city wall was originally in ruins.

Later, Li Dingguo ordered people to use clay mixed with rice paste to repair it, but it was only barely usable.

At that time, rough repairs to the city wall were only a temporary measure.

Anyway, there was no chance of a war in Jianchang at that time, so it was better to spend money wisely.

Who would have thought that there would be a fight within the Daxi Army.

And this fight actually hit Jianchang.

Because the repaired city wall was in an inconspicuous location, Li Dingguo thought it was impossible for Feng Shuangli to discover it.

But if he sends heavy troops to attack, it will naturally arouse Feng Shuangli's vigilance, and the effect may not be good.

That's why he formulated the strategy of attacking the east gate with the main force and taking the west city with a partial force.

Anyway, as long as one of the city gates is opened, Jianchang City is within his grasp.

In order to make a fool of himself, Li Dingguo ordered the main force to attack fiercely without any reservations.

It seems that Feng Shuangli has been bluffed, thinking that Li Dingguo has hidden all his treasures in Dongcheng.

This is the most welcome situation for the defenders.

Because it is much more effective to concentrate troops to defend one place than to defend with troops.

Especially when there are not enough troops in the city.

If the troops are too spread out, they are likely to be defeated individually.

Even if there is only one collapse, the consequences can be fatal.

But if we concentrate our forces on defense, this situation will not happen.

Unless there is a clear gap in strength between the two sides, but this is obviously not the case today.

Feng Shuangli walked back and forth at the top of the city to supervise the battle, and the soldiers were also very morale.

The soldiers and horses led by Li Dingguo launched fierce attacks on the city head one after another, but they were all suppressed.

Morale is a very subtle thing.

One vigorous effort and then another failure.

When Li Dingguo continues to wield these three axes, if no results are achieved, morale will plummet.

"Bite it, I bite you all and defend Jianchang.

Each of you will be rewarded."

Feng Shuangli was not stingy with money at critical moments.

Anyway, the things in Jianchang City were not his originally.

Why should he feel bad about borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha?

If you want to say that you feel distressed, it should be Sun Kewang who feels distressed.

However, he thought Sun Kewang would not care about these details.

In war, winning is the only purpose.

If you can't win the battle, the money will still have to be given to the enemy.

Feng Shuangli now sees Li Dingguo's purpose more clearly.

He must have shown his rebellion in Chengdu and wanted to usurp the throne.

But his ugly face was discovered by Sun Kewang, who sent troops to suppress him.

Li Dingguo resisted stubbornly, and the two sides met and fought.

The result of the battle was that Li Dingguo was defeated and he led the remaining troops to flee to Jianchang in panic.

Otherwise, why does he only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left?

As for what Li Dingguo said to Feng Shuangli, he didn’t believe a word of it.

People are always willing to believe what they want to believe, and they do not hesitate to think about it again and again.

This is the case with Feng Shuangli.

In his imagination, Li Dingguo has become a despicable villain who is full of lies and hypocrisy.

How can such a person let him succeed?

Feng Shuangli had made up his mind not only to defend Jianchang, but also to capture Li Dingguo alive so that he could offer it to Sun Kewang.

Although the king didn't say it with his mouth, he definitely wanted to solve this big trouble permanently in his heart.

Li Dingguo had no other abilities, but his ability to confuse people was unique.

With him, there would always be uncertainties within the Western Army, and a split could occur at any time.

This is something no king wants to see.

If Feng Shuangli can help Sun Kewang solve this problem permanently, Sun Kewang will definitely take a high look at him and put him to good use.

A great future is beckoning to Feng Shuangli not far away, how can he not be tempted?

As long as Li Dingguo is captured and killed, everything will be within reach.

Feng Shuangli didn't think it was possible for Li Dingguo to escape.

The reason why he attacked Jianchang at all costs proved that he had no way to escape.

Where else could he go if he didn't go to Jianchang?

Therefore, as long as Feng Shuangli built the fence, Li Dingguo would have no chance to take advantage of him.

So far, Feng Shuangli is very satisfied with the performance of his soldiers.

Persevere until the patience of Li Dingguo's men is almost exhausted, and it's time to launch a counterattack.

Just when Feng Shuangli thought that everything was developing according to his plan, a soldier suddenly ran from the west wall and shouted as he ran: "The attack is in, they are in."

Feng Shuangli was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.

This place is so well guarded that not even a fly can fly in.

How could Li Dingguo's men break in?

Do they know how to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, or do they use evil magic?

"Tell me carefully, what's coming?"

The soldier ran closer and said loudly: "Captain, for some reason a large number of soldiers appeared in the west city.

They directly destroyed a section of the city wall and then climbed in."

Feng Shuangli felt dizzy and almost fell over due to his unsteady center of gravity.

The city wall was destroyed Are you fucking kidding me?

In his more than ten years of commanding the army, he had never heard of such an appalling thing.

Aren't the city walls made of bluestone bricks bonded with Sanhe soil?

How could they be destroyed so easily?

"Please tell me clearly how the city wall could be destroyed."

Feng Shuangli grabbed the soldier and almost roared: "How could such a good city wall be destroyed?"

The soldier was so frightened that he burst into tears.

"My subordinates didn't know, but I saw that the city wall was like paste and collapsed after being hit by the enemy's wooden sticks a few times
