Li Liangzuo, the city of Dadingfu, led 350,000 troops to the city, but this time Li Liangzuo did not order the siege of the city, in fact, this is also a strategy of Li Liangzuo, according to the current statement, Li Liangzuo is fighting psychological warfare with the Southern Liao army, and the war has not yet begun, and the contest between the two armies has begun.
Li Liangzuo took the golden dragon treasure carving bow and asked Li Yi: "Li Yi, how far do you say it is from here to the city wall?"
Li Yi made a visual inspection and said, "According to the general's estimate, it is at least one hundred and fifty steps from here to the city wall.
"One hundred and fifty steps does not mean one hundred and fifty meters The corners of Li Liangzuo's mouth rose and said: "I will make a bet with you now, if I shoot the banner on the city tower with an arrow from here, you will have to quit drinking with me for a month, do you dare to bet?"
Li Yi thought in his heart: "Your Majesty bragged again, how could it be possible to shoot the flag at such a distance" After thinking about it, Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo: "Okay, the last general should gamble, but what if Your Majesty loses?"
Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "If I lose, you can drink wildly for the next month, and I promise not to stop you." ” After Li Liangzuo finished speaking, he slowly tightened the attack, and pulled the bow of the entire Golden Dragon Treasure Carving Bow like a full moon, after the bowstring was pulled to the limit, Li Liangzuo adjusted his breathing to calm his heart as much as possible, everyone around Li Liangzuo felt that time had frozen, I don't know how long it took Li Liangzuo to suddenly let go of the bowstring, only to hear the sound of "bang", a sharp arrow left the string and went straight to the city wall of Dading Mansion, and the sound of the wind could be heard everywhere the carved arrow passed; The carved arrow pierced the sky at a great speed, and soon after, the handsome flag that had been flying on the city wall snapped and snapped.
After the sharp arrow broke the flagpole, it did not stop but nailed to the wooden pillar of the city gate tower behind, and as the flag fell, the Xia army under the city broke out with a thunderous roar: "Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty."
The shouts of the Xia army resounded in the sky, but the Southern Liao army defending the city was trembling with fright, Li Liangzuo saw that his goal had been achieved and showed a long-lost smile on his face, Li Liangzuo smiled at Li Yi and said: "It seems that my love will be quitting drinking for a month." ” "The last general is willing to gamble and lose."
Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo with a bitter face.
Li Liangzuo ordered in a loud voice with satisfaction: "Order, the army retreats thirty miles back and camps, all the soldiers are full of meat, and they have a good night's rest today and attack the city tomorrow." ” "Obey Your Majesty's Sacred Commandment."
All the generals immediately took the military order.
Looking at the slowly retreating Xia army, the Northern Liao army defending the city was still frightened, after returning to the barracks, Li Liangzuo immediately ordered a part of the soldiers to go to the surrounding mountains to cut wood, and all the craftsmen immediately began to build engineering equipment, to say that the ability of the Xixia craftsmen is not covered, in just one night in the craftsman camp, dozens of craftsmen plus more than 1,000 soldiers have created more than 40 siege equipment, including siege rams, building cars, rushing cars, etc., as for the simple siege ladder there are hundreds.
When the day was just dawning, the Xia army was dispatched, the entire Xia army was divided into three teams to surround the entire Dading Mansion, leaving only the north gate for the enemy army in the city to escape, Li Liangzuo's main attack was the West Gate, because the west gate was more damaged than the mountain wall, and the siege here can greatly reduce the casualties of the Xia army, so Li Liangzuo arranged 25 troops outside the west gate of the main attack, as for the east gate and the south gate, Li Liangzuo only arranged 50,000 soldiers and horses as an auxiliary.
Li Liangzuo boarded the car and looked down at everything around him, Li Liangzuo ordered with a solemn face: "Daxu order, attack from afar." ” "Obey the order" Li Yi took Li Liangzuo's order and immediately conveyed the military order: "Your Majesty has an order, Daxu will pass the order, and the bow will attack from afar." ” Then the fluttering flag was immediately waved, and the various attacking troops immediately took action, and the archer captain issued a military order: "Draw the bow", and then the bow and crossbow were pulled apart.
The bed crossbow captain gave the military order: "Wind" The catapult was also ready at this time, and the stones were placed in the basket, and after everything was ready, the general in charge of the expedition waved the red command flag in his hand and gave the order loudly: "Release" Just listen to the sound of "hum", ten thousand arrows in unison arrow feathers hidden in the sky and the sun flew towards the city head of Dading Mansion, dense arrow feathers nailed to the shield, the door panel made a bell-bell collision sound, there was no short-range encounter, the Xia army gave the Southern Liao army defending the city great damage and shock, Yelu Nerugu never thought that the Xia army had such a sharp arrow rain attack, in this case, Yelu Nerugu had to let most of the soldiers leave the city wall to avoid the arrow rain.
After a few rounds of arrow rain, Li Liangzuo ordered again: "The herald orders to release rockets." ” "Daxu herald, release the rocket."
Li Yi conveyed Li Liangzuo's military order.
Xia Jun changed the arrow feather very quickly, and soon replaced it with a rocket, and at the same time the catapult was also replaced with fierce fire oil, but the fierce fire oil brought by Xia Jun with the army was not much, and it was also packed in clay pots, and Xia Jun's fierce fire oil was obtained from the Hexi Corridor, this kind of thing is very dangerous, especially in the process of long-distance transportation, once an accident occurs, it is likely to affect the entire army.
After Li Liangzuo ordered the fire attack, rockets, burning fire canisters were thrown into the city of Dadingfu, and soon the city wall, as well as the houses around the city wall were burning, because the Southern Liao army was not prepared to defend against the fire attack before, and it was now the end of autumn The weather in the north is very dry, it is very easy to catch fire, this time it was ignited by the Xia army and immediately it was a skyrocketing fire, in this case, in order to keep Dading Mansion, Yelu Nerugu had to divide a part of his forces to extinguish the fire.
Looking at the fire burning in the city, Li Liangzuo saw that it had actually arrived, and immediately ordered: "Order the three squares in front of him to attack." ” "Da Xu's order, attack with three squares in front of you."
Li Yi conveyed Li Liangzuo's military order.
The offensive formation of the Xia army is a relatively primitive phalanx, each formation is composed of 10,000 people, equipped with pikemen, axes and shield soldiers and other troops, the scale of the attack of 30,000 people is already very large, the siege battle is not like the TV stage, the soldiers rush up desperately, but shoot a neat formation, the purpose of this is to facilitate the shield soldiers to form a defensive formation to resist the enemy's arrows, after attacking the city, it will be dispersed, at this time the purpose is to prevent the thunder stone rolling wood from smashing a large piece.
Seeing that the soldiers in front of him were desperately attacking the city for themselves, Li Liangzuo looked back at the other soldiers waiting to attack, and suddenly said to Li Yi: "Order the rear army and the Chinese army to rest, let the Huotou army boil the broth, and eat immediately after the brothers in front of them withdraw." ” "Yes, follow Your Majesty's orders."
Li Yi took the military order and said.
With the attack of the Xia army, Li Liangzuo began to slowly feel the skills of the siege, Li Liangzuo found that it is basically impossible to capture a city in a short time, the siege war is a meat grinder, and the siege war consumes the physical strength of the siege soldiers, so if you want to saturate a city for a long time, there is only one trick, that is, divide the whole army into several teams for wheel warfare, and drag the enemy army defending the city to death.
