S: Thank you for the monthly votes voted by the book friends "egion" and "dahnes", the support of the book friends is the motivation of my codeword.
Let these peasants, who have just put down their hoes, throw boulders, wood, and fire oil and gold water under the city.
There is no need for any technology at all, and it can be operated by an individual with a short period of training.
But the artillery of the Shenji Guard changed all this, and the dense artillery bombardment covered the Yanping Gate Tower for several miles, turning it into a vacuum.
And the breakthrough of the Divine Machine and the Divine Strategy is set between these few miles.
Facing the attack of 60,000 troops.
Cheng Yanjin was dumbfounded, and the previous defensive means were useless at this time.
He could only fill the soldiers under his command in a team by refueling them.
On the other side, he sent a letter to the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Chigong for help.
After hearing the news, Wei Chigong dispatched a small reserve force and sent 30,000 reinforcements to Yanpingmen.
The eldest grandson Wuji did not have a usable forbidden army in his hands, and the newly acquired Yulin Army could not go to the battlefield at this time.
Reluctantly adjusted, if you turn back before the battle, you really can't eat and go around.
Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji could only transfer the newly recruited 50,000 people to Yanpingmen.
In just half a day's effort, the city said that the army of 600,000 was divided like this.
Facing two battlefields, it is already stretched.
However, fortunately, the call for help was timely, and Yanpingmen barely withstood the full attack of Shenji and Shence two guards.
As with the Jinguangmen battlefield, it was mired in a war of attrition.
Li Mu had no intention of retreating.
Instead of focusing on the battle at Yanping Gate, his gaze went beyond the city wall and saw further.
Li Mu said to himself, "Su Dingfang, it's up to you now." ” In fact, the two battlefields of Jinguangmen and Yanpingmen in Xicheng are feints.
The real main battlefield, Li Mu chose to be in the Chunming Gate of Dongcheng.
To make this decision, Li Mu made a lot of determination.
With an army of 220,000 as a cover for Su Dingfang's 80,000 men.
This also includes the descendants of Li Mu and Li Yi.
In the words of Master Li, General Su, there is light smoke from your ancestral tomb.
Indeed, if this battle is successful, Li Mu will become the master of Chang'an.
That Su Dingfang must be the first merit, and with this merit plus the merit of supporting the dragon, then Su Dingfang will undoubtedly become the most famous military general in the Tang Dynasty.
Who is not envious But then again.
Of the 80,000 troops under Su Dingfang's command, only 20,000 were veterans.
The rest are all recruits who have only been in the army for more than two months.
Although Su Dingfang trained them like cramming, it didn't last long after all.
Plus the first time on the battlefield, no one knows, what will happen Fortunately, this time I went north, and the middle and lower-level officers in the army were all from the Jiangnan Military Academy.
They are all veterans who have returned from the Divine Guard.
It was also because of this that Li Mu made up his mind and handed over the main attack to Su Dingfang.
In a moment, outside the Chunming Gate of Dongcheng.
Su Dingfang gave the order to siege the city.
Choosing this time is also a bit particular.
It is easy to be sleepy in the afternoon, and when you are full, you are often lazy and unable to lift your energy.
Therefore, Su Dingfang buried the pot to make rice.
Second, after the future, there is not much time left for Su Dingfang.
At this time, it was only more than two hours until it was dark.
Darkness is undoubtedly unfavorable for the besieging side.
If you can't break through by the time you arrive, you can only withdraw your troops and wait for tomorrow to fight again.
But after the intention is exposed, there is no possibility of tricks.
Su Dingfang knows this very well.

Therefore, he chose a moment as the time to attack the city.
There was no artillery in the eastern city, so he could only rely on the bodies of the soldiers to resist the arrows in the city.
Fortunately, Jiangnan's armor was enough to resist the projectiles of the defenders on the city walls.
Soldiers bow their heads when charging and ascending, and as long as they are not particularly unlucky, they can almost ignore the defenders' arrows when they are shot in the forearms and calves that are exposed.
Of course, heavy weapons such as stone-throwing tools and bed crossbows were basically not considered by the soldiers.
If you really want to be hit by these killing weapons, it can only be regarded as fate.
Su Dingfang's command style in this siege is similar to Li Mu's.
Of the 80,000 troops, only 20,000 cavalry were left to defend the base camp.
The remaining 60,000 people made three waves and launched an attack on Chunming Gate.
And the deployment of forces is gradual.
The first wave was 10,000 people.
The second wave was 20,000.
The third wave is already 30,000 people.
The effect of this tactic is to use psychological pressure to force the defenders to collapse.
The defenders of Dongcheng originally numbered 80,000 men.
It's just that Li Tao and Li Mu launched attacks at Jinguangmen and Yanpingmen respectively.
The defenders of Dongcheng were redeployed 30,000 men.
At this time, there were only 50,000 defenders in the eastern city. 50,000 people against Su Dingfang's 80,000 should be enough in terms of troops.
After all, with such a strong city wall, it occupies an advantageous location.
Even if there are only 30,000 people, it is not difficult to block the siege of 60,000 troops under normal circumstances.
But the problem is that most of the 50,000 defenders are new recruits.
The army with stronger combat power has already been transferred to support Xicheng.
So, after Su Dingfang's first wave of attacks, the guards were not busy asking for help from the palace.
After the eldest grandson Wuji heard the news, Rao had no military talent, and he was also alerted to Li Musheng's plan to attack the west.
But the battle between Jinguangmen and Yanpingmen in Xicheng is stalemate, and it is impossible to draw troops from the two places.
So, the eldest grandson Wuji made a crazy decision.
That is to order Liang Zhongye to lead the people of the headquarters, plus the right guard of Yulin, to Chunmingmen to solve the urgent need.
This decision is indeed crazy, but the eldest grandson Wuji is not crazy to the point of desperation.
Let Liang Zhongye lead the people of the headquarters as the overseer to suppress it, which is a precautionary measure made by the eldest grandson Wuji.
Liang Zhongye and the three brothers who followed him are celebrating the success of the eldest grandson Wuji Palace.
Liang Zhongye became the general of Qianniuwei, which is a real shortage of high-ranking officials from the third grade.
And the three brothers also got a real vacancy and were appointed as left, center, and right generals.
Now that the right guard of Yulin is in his own hands again, how can he not be complacent After receiving the order of the eldest grandson Wuji to send troops, Liang Zhongye was ordered to send troops.
If he wants to fight Li Mu face-to-face, maybe Liang Zhongye will have some scruples.
But now to go to war with Su Dingfang, in the hearts of Liang Zhongye and others, there is no intention of entanglement.
By the time reinforcements arrived at Chunmingmen, the defenders were already in danger.
If it weren't for Liang Zhongye's department, he arrived in time.
The defenders could not survive the second wave of attacks.
But even so, the right feather Lin Wei led by Liang Zhongye also paid a lot of price.
Only then did he block Su Dingfang's second wave of attacks back to the city.
Seeing the failure of the second wave of attacks, Su Dingfang's face became solemn.
The hour had come to an hour, and the sky was getting dark.
His side couldn't drag it out for a long time, and the two battlefields in Xicheng could only continue to fight.
Otherwise, if the army of the west city comes back to help, the east city will not only not be able to capture the city, but will be counterattacked by the defenders in the city.
Su Dingfang had no time to make tactical adjustments.

He had no choice but to make a desperate bet and launch a third wave of attacks as originally planned.
However, Su Dingfang still kept an eye on it
