Chapter 729 Almost Breaking the City
In the northern city, Li Ji led a group of generals to check today's battle damage. Although the thunderbolt scared off 50 enemy troops, there were still more than a dozen soldiers on the top of the city who were shot by arrows. After all, there were thousands of soldiers below. The crossbowmen kept suppressing with their bows and arrows, and many soldiers on the top of the city poked their heads out out of curiosity.

"Commander, it's too strong. This thunderbolt is simply invincible. The general thought that if the enemy was fleeing today, he would be able to wipe out the enemy's 50 troops in one fell swoop. So this war will not be easy." Is it over?" Deputy General Huang An said loudly.

Several other generals were moved, and they all looked at Li Ji excitedly.

Standing in front of the sand table, Li Ji raised his head and glanced at the generals, and said with a slight smile, "Just because you win a game by surprise, you become a proud soldier? Yesterday you were still worried that you would not be able to defend."

Although Li Ji's smile was as warm as the warm spring breeze in March, everyone could still hear something strange from it. It's over, the commander-in-chief is about to get angry.

"It must be known that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. What if the enemy's retreat today is a trap? Then where are the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians in my northern city?"

"I don't dare to wait. What the commander taught me is that the general is careless." Huang An bowed his head.

"The ladder is destroyed, and it will take three days at the earliest for the enemy to attack again. Everyone, think about how the enemy will attack next time?"

Without saying a word, Li Ji went straight out to the wounded barracks to visit the soldiers.

And this question is actually a question that Yuan Gai Suwen and others are thinking about.

"Datang has this sharp weapon, we don't know how many thunderbolts they have, but they are just ladders aimed at us, if this happens again and again, I'm afraid we will never get to the top of the city.

Everyone has a discussion, how to crack this city? "Yuan Gai Suwen asked.

It's a pity that everyone who has seen the power of Thunderbolt, which one is not afraid?So there was a collective silence for a while.

Mo Hedu, the Western Turk, said, "Looking at their actions today, they only bombed the ladders and didn't target the soldiers. They only threw fifty thunderbolts at a time, which is very strange. If they threw a thousand thunderbolts, how could the ten thousand soldiers be killed?" Didn't they all stay? Could it be..."

Yuan Gai Suwen slapped his thigh, "The reason for the sweat is that they must have insufficient thunderbolts, haha, so there are countermeasures, let's wait for a few days, build more ladders, and we attack the city from all directions to see if they can do it." How many Thunderbolts are there?"

"It would be great if we brought in more craftsmen. At the current speed, it is too laborious to build ladders." General Huihe complained.

This sentence reminded everyone, who would have thought that a war would require craftsmen to be the main force?

The prince of Baekje had a flash of inspiration, "Why don't all the soldiers cut down trees and build ladders?"

The leader of Shi Wei sneered: "The eldest prince said it lightly, the grasslands are scarce and trees are scarce, and the closest mountain to this place is also a hundred miles away.

Besides, is the ladder so easy to build?If this is the case, there is no need to bring craftsmen to the expedition. "

you brute...

Yuan Gai Suwen held back the two people who didn't like each other, and persuaded: "Wait a minute, what the eldest prince said is reasonable, but it reminded me, since they are going to blow up the ladders, why should we make them all intact?

Although the soldiers don't know the skills of craftsmen, it's okay to make fake ladders by comparison, as long as they can climb up to one or two feet, and then they will be tricked into throwing a lot of thunder.

When their thunderbolts are exhausted, it will be the day we break the city. "

"The lord is brilliant!"

Everyone praised Yuan Gai Suwen in unison, it was indeed a good strategy.

Sure enough, three days later, the 50 troops besieged the city again and attacked. Shiwei and Mohe still had [-] troops to fight, but the difference was that they attacked from all sides.

The generals on the top of the city looked at it, no good, why are there so many ladders?Could it be that the enemy has already prepared for it?

"Marshal, this, this..." Huang An became anxious.

Li Ji took a binoculars and took a closer look at the rushing siege army. The ladders they were carrying seemed much simpler than normal ones, but they were still ladders, presumably because the barbarian craftsmen were not skilled enough.

In an emergency, the morale of the army must be stabilized, Li Ji said in a deep voice: "The generals obey the order and guard the four walls of the city. It is still the old strategy. We only blow up the enemy's ladders, and we must not allow one of the enemies to climb to the top of the city."

"promise!"

"Hahahaha, Li Ji, you can't hold on. Opening the door and surrendering is your only way to survive." Yuan Gai Suwen laughed wildly.

"Come and attack if you have the guts, and I will reward you with a thunderbolt." Li Ji's eyes were deep, and no one could see clearly what he was thinking.

"Hmph, attack, whoever climbs to the top of the city first will be rewarded with a thousand gold."

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, and the morale of the barbarian soldiers instantly increased by three points. It seemed that everyone had forgotten the scare three days ago because of this thousand gold.

Li Ji's face was as heavy as water, and he closed his eyes slightly. He always felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, there was no time for him to think. There was already the sound of bombing from the south gate of the city. It was the deputy general Huang An who had already fought against the enemy. up.

"Fry! Fry! Fry!

Hahahaha, boys, just blow it up like this, let's see how many ladders these barbarians can have?Fry as many as you want. "

Huang An's wild laughter echoed continuously on the top of the city, and the morale of all the soldiers was also boosted one after another, all of them were extremely excited.

But the good times didn't last long, the first batch of ladders to the south wall was no more than a hundred. I thought that after one round, the enemy would flee like yesterday, but Huang An never expected that the enemy would have a second round of ladders?

Another hundred?Looking into the distance again, okay, there is a third round and a fourth round?what's the situation?Is the enemy building ladders so fast?No matter, let's fry it first.

Soon, Huang An couldn't hold on any longer. In just one hour, he had consumed [-] thunderbolts on the southern city wall?The enemy is still attacking continuously, which consumes too much, the four walls, that is to say, two thousand thunders have entered in an hour?
Not good, Huang An realized the seriousness of the problem, and shouted: "Brothers, stop, remove the Thunderbolt, and use bows and crossbows to defend the city."

After handing over the city defense to his lieutenants, Huang An hurried to find Li Ji.

At this time, Li Ji also knew what was wrong. Although he didn't know where the enemy's ladder came from, the city still had to be defended. Get ready."

"Hahahaha, Li Ji, Hong Tianlei is gone, even if you have a magic weapon in your hand, it will be difficult to resist my 50 army, surrender as soon as possible." Yuan Gai Suwen laughed wildly on the horse.

The soldiers under the city saw it, well, it really works, the enemy's thunderbolts are used up, so they are afraid of a bird, just charge directly!
It has to be said that although the overall military quality of the barbarian soldiers is not good, they are really brave. In just two quarters of an hour, there was a lot of damage on the top of the city.

When Lieutenant Huang An arrived, Li Ji yelled angrily: "You bastard, you left your post before the battle, what should you do if you lost the city?"

"Marshal, this battle is not right. The Thunderbolt is consumed too quickly and can no longer be used."

"Where is the messenger sent by the commander to deliver the order?"

It turned out that when Li Ji changed his strategy, he had already sent a messenger to save Hong Tianlei, but the messenger and Huang An missed it.

"Go back and defend the city quickly, don't move Hongtianlei easily, and only use Hongtianlei in times of crisis." Under the crisis, Li Ji ordered that good steel be used on the blade. Hitting by mistake is exactly the way to restrain the enemy. After all, most of the enemy's ladders are fake, and fake ladders cannot climb the top of the city.
