Chapter 239 Night Attack Trap
Prince Alorie hurried to the city and found Li Ye. At this moment, Li Ye was standing on the top of the city, considering various possibilities of defense. He remembered the scene when Abusi's army attacked Anle County. The opponent did not have siege weapons, but they unexpectedly Using human ladders to attack the city is still a two-meter-high city wall, and the city wall in front of you is only one foot high. Will the opponent build a human ladder?
The answer is obvious. They must never be allowed to choose the option of building a ladder, and they must actively create other opportunities for them.

At this moment, Prince Arrowle stepped forward and said: "The nest is over. According to the general's order, a few people were caught alive, and their leader was also caught."

"Have you confessed?"

Prince Alore nodded, "According to the general's order, we interrogated separately. They all confessed and their confessions were consistent. At midnight tonight, they will open the east gate to welcome the cavalry to enter the city!"

Li Ye pondered for a while and said, "Are there any cloth bags in the city that can hold dozens of catties of soil? I need a lot!"

"Of course! Every household has them. There are tens of thousands of cloth bags for grain in the warehouse."

"What about the spears? How many spears are there in the warehouse?"

"There are about [-] of them, and they are still left over from the time when the Tuqi was used."

Li Ye immediately said: "There are a few things to do now. After dark, I need to splash the city with water. I need to turn the city wall into an ice city wall, which can't stand on it!"

Prince Arrowle's eyes lit up, and he immediately reacted, "Good way, I'll arrange someone right away!"

"Secondly, I have to fill tens of thousands of bags with soil. This is the most important thing. Immediately arrange for soldiers to fill me with soil bags."

Li Ye said a few words about his plan in a low voice, and Prince Alorie applauded repeatedly, "I will immediately mobilize the common people to help!"

Night fell quietly, and the temperature began to drop sharply. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city had been busy all afternoon, and finally saw results. Except for the top of the east city gate, the rest of the city wall was filled with water, and all of them froze. The entire city wall became crystal clear.

People can't stand on it at all, even if the enemy soldiers take a ladder to climb up to the top of the city, it's useless, but they will fall and get injured.

The most extreme thing is inside the east city gate, with earth bags piled up to form a large circle, about seven feet high, surrounded by spears, even if the enemy cavalry jumped over the earth wall, they would fall with their horses On the outer spear array,

The ground in the large circle is covered with thick hay, which seems to be for anti-slip, but it is not.

Li Ye led twenty soldiers and stood on top of the east city. There were haystacks piled up around them. It was easy to open the city gate, but how to close the city gate was a big problem. By then, the gate of the city would be full of enemy cavalry. It is impossible to close the gate.

Li Ye thought of a way. He asked the soldiers of Bahan to dig a trench with a width of one foot and a depth of two feet outside the city. A thick plank was laid on it, and a hole was punched at each end for two long iron chains. A drawbridge was actually made, and once they chained the drawbridge up, it formed a gate.

Cities in the Western Regions generally do not have moats, and naturally they do not have the concept of suspension bridges. I believe that the Cavalry Cavalry will not be aware of this.

Time gradually approached the third watch, and Li Ye stared into the distance. He already felt that there were cavalry in the distance. He didn't know how many cavalry, nor did he know the enemy army inside, but Li Ye estimated that there were only three thousand cavalry at most. A thousand cavalry, plus a thousand cavalry from Shi Guo.

The Tocharian Corps are all Tocharians who believe in the Great Food Cult, and the leader Hut is also a Tocharian. He will definitely lead the Tocharian cavalry to attack Kuhanna himself. Is it what they dreamed of?

Li Ye's deduction is not wrong at all. There are exactly 3000 Dashi cavalry in Liangli, led by Hu Te, the leader of the Tocharian Army. Take away the young girl who pulled Khan, and the rest of the land, population, etc. will belong to Shi Guo.

Hut looked at the moonlight and saw that the appointment time was almost up. He immediately ordered: "Light three torches and wave!"

The soldiers lit three torches and started to move. After a while, three torches appeared on the top of the city and waved.

Having succeeded, Hu Tie was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "Go into the city!"

He ran hundreds of steps, and suddenly stopped his horse. He hesitated in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong. At this moment, the deputy leader Eguri rushed to him and said with a smile: "The box of ten gems in Nekuli, First come gets!"

"asshole!"

Hu Tie was enraged by these words, he galloped his horse and ran towards the city, followed closely by countless cavalry, and the sound of horseshoes began to stir on the grassland.

The deputy leader Eguri narrowed his eyes, is it really so easy to win?

Hundreds of cavalry were getting closer and closer to Kesai City, only to see the city gate slowly open, and Hu Te drew his sword and shouted, "Go into the city and seize the palace first!"

Huth led hundreds of cavalry into the city gate like a gust of wind, but he only rushed a hundred steps. He suddenly reined in his horse, and there was no way in front of him. It turned out to be a high mud bag wall. The inside of the gate is surrounded by a long wall of mudbags.

"No, I've been fooled!"

Huth yelled, "Retreat!"

At the same time, Prince Alore gave an order, and the two thousand Bahan soldiers who were ambushing all around raised their bows and shot arrows together, and there were hundreds of rockets mixed in them. It ignited and began to burn rapidly.

On the top of the city, twenty Tang soldiers were divided into two teams. Xu Jian led nine soldiers to pull up the iron chain and pull up the suspension bridge bit by bit.

The other ten soldiers threw bundles of hay down the city, and the city was also lit with a torch. A large amount of hay was piled up at the gate of the city, and the fire was particularly fierce.

Li Ye, holding a bow and arrow, squinted his eyes to look for the enemy general in the chaotic crowd.

More than 500 cavalry rushed in. There was a great chaos, the feet were full of flames, and the burning horses and soldiers kept screaming. Many cavalry jumped out of the mudbag wall in desperation, but what was waiting for them was a dense long crowd. In the spear formation, even people and horses were pierced by sharp spears and killed on the spot.

Soldiers on the periphery kept shooting arrows at the enemy in the large circle of the mudbag wall, and many strong peasants struggled to throw bundles of hay into the large circle of the mudbag wall.

Hu Te was hit by an arrow in the back of the shoulder. He waved his sword anxiously and shouted: "Whoever blocks the city gate, a bunch of bastards, rush out!"

At this moment, a powerful spiked arrow shot at him through the raging flames. Hut didn't notice it at all, "Pfft!" The arrow hit his temple, and he opened his mouth suddenly, and the vitality in his eyes quickly Gone, 'plop! 'The body fell into the flames.

The Dashi cavalry who did not enter the city were also shouting outside the city. Many cavalry tried to jump over the gully more than one foot wide from the side, but just as they jumped over, the horses neighed miserably. The spear below pierces.
After dozens of people died, the food cavalry found that the ground on the opposite side was filled with dense arrows. No wonder the horse couldn't stand.

Many Dashi soldiers ran a little farther, built a ladder to go up to the city, and were about to rush up to the top of the city to lower the suspension bridge, but they fell down one after another after climbing up to the top of the city, and the ground was covered with thick ice, making it difficult to move an inch .

At this time, the soldier of Pulling Khan had been prepared for a long time, and dense arrows were shot from the city. Nearly a hundred Dashi soldiers who climbed to the top of the city could not dodge, and they fell down the city with arrows.

"Stop!"

The deputy leader Eguri yelled, and everyone fell silent, watching the suspension bridge slowly fall.

The fire in the city was still burning, and there was no one cavalry in sight. The city gate seemed to have opened its bloody mouth, waiting for the next group of people to enter.

The food cavalry retreated in fright, and the deputy leader Eguri secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Huth died, and now he is the leader of the Tocharian Army.

He shouted, "The enemy army has ambushed, the leader has been killed, we retreat immediately and return to Stone Country!"

More than 2000 cavalry also had no intention of fighting, and turned their horses around one after another, and followed Eguri to retreat towards Shiguo.
