Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 341 First up
Since they are going to Zuohui City to provide assistance, the situation they will face must be worse than that in Yuanqu City.

Without any natural defenses, Zuohui City will become a large meat grinder.

Whether it is attacking or defending the city.

"I will follow the general's orders."

Xu Fei and others were all under Xue Wanche's command, so naturally it was impossible for them to stay in Yuanqu City. They had to follow Xue Wanche to Zuohui City to stop the Turkic army.

Because of what happened before, Yuchi Baolin and Li Chongyi were even more eager to prove themselves.

Today, Zuohui City is the best place to go.

As for Su Chen...

"I'd better stay in Yuanqu City."

Zuohui City is important, and Yuanqu City is equally important.

and.

Compared with Zuohui City, Yuanqu City also has Yugushe!
Xue Wanche pondered and said, "If you stay in Yuanqu City, there will still be too few people around you."

Now, there are only a dozen people including Sun Qiang around Su Chen, plus a hundred people under the command of Li Jingheng and Cheng Chumo.

Once Yu Gushe takes out the siege equipment and attacks Yuanqu City, the situation in Yuanqu City will inevitably become more difficult.

"I understand your idea."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Yuanqu City is dangerous, so Zuohui City is not dangerous? Zuohui City is more dangerous than Yuanqu City!"

"You will face a worse situation than us. The army is heading back to the city, so whether you attack or defend becomes more complicated."

"Besides, Yuanqu City is the capital of the Longtu Cavalry after all!"

"Are you sure you don't want a single soldier?"

"unnecessary."

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, "You need them more than I do."

Xue Wanche nodded, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "We came to Yanqi Kingdom this time to help defend the city, not to die."

"I have already discussed this with the Long Tuqizhi. If his reinforcements do not go to Zuo Huicheng within three days at least and five days at most, I will abandon the city and leave."

"The Turks' target is the Yanqi Kingdom, so we can evacuate from the Yuli Kingdom in the south."

As he said that, Xue Wanche glanced at Su Chen and said, "You too."

There will be some disobedience to foreign military orders.

Su Chen was certainly not so stupid as to stay in Yuanqu City and wait for death after it was breached.

Su Chen smiled and nodded.

Xue Wanche: "In that case, let's get moving."

……

Xue Wanche led an army of 20,000 and quietly left Yuanqu City without attracting the attention of the Turks.

Even if Yu Gushe knew about it, there wouldn't be much he could do.

after all.

The tall walls of Yuanqu City always blocked their way, making it difficult for them to advance.

For two consecutive days, there was no movement from the Turkic camp outside the city.

But everyone in Yuanqu City understood that this was the calm before the storm!
"Report!"

"Your Majesty, we have not found any signs of unrest in the Turkic camp!"

"Explore again!"

"Yes!"

The scout left.

The Longtu cavalry was in doubt.

Lisodorli's poison had been thrown into the river. Logically, the Turks should have drunk the problematic river water yesterday. But why was there no movement in the Turkic camp after a whole day?
Could it be that the Turks are in such good health that these things have no effect on them?

Or was it that they used too little material, and it was diluted too much by the river water to cause any trouble to the Turks?

Just when Long Tuqizhi was confused and the people in the city were on high alert on the third day, there was finally movement in the Turkic camp!

Oh oh oh!
A loud and long horn sounded outside Yuanqu City.

Infantrymen, cavalrymen, archers...

They appeared in an orderly manner at the foot of Yuanqu City and formed an attacking formation!

At the front of the formation was Yu Gushe!
"Yu Gushe is personally leading the troops to attack the city!"

The Dragon Cavalry looked grim!

Yu Gushe had not shown up for several days, but now he suddenly appeared and mobilized all the troops. It was obvious that he was going to give Yuanqu City a big blow!
"Long Tuqizhi, are you really so stubborn?"

A Turkic cavalryman arrived at the foot of the city and shouted at the wall, "The Khan is willing to give you another chance. Open the city gate immediately and kneel down to welcome the Khan. Otherwise, today will be the day when the Yanqi Kingdom will be destroyed!"

"bring it on!"

Long Tuqizhi is concise and to the point.

The Turkish cavalry retreated.

soon.

The formation outside the city changed.

Tall well gates were pushed out by the Turkic soldiers.

Thirty in total.

Each well is extremely tall, almost level with the city wall.

Long Tuqizhi's expression changed.

Damn.

This guy hasn't been out for a few days, it turns out he's been making siege weapons!
Be nice.

This time it’s a big deal!
Su Chen's expression tensed. He didn't expect that Yu Gushe had such a trick!
Wells, siege vehicles, ladders...

They prepared all the necessary siege equipment very smoothly!

It seems that the previous silence was just for the purpose of capturing Yuanqu City and crushing Yanqi Kingdom today!

"I don't know if he can handle it..."

Su Chen looked at the Longtu Cavalry.

He ordered Lisodorli to poison Tianshan, but judging from the state of these Turkic soldiers, it was obvious that the poison did not cause much trouble to Yugushe.

Then the next step is to withstand the crazy attack of the Turks!
Fortunately, we can hold on. There is still a chance to rescue it.

If you can't stand it...

Then it’s time to prepare to run away in advance!

Oh oh oh!
The horn sounded, like a charge horn!
Just for a moment.

Thousands of infantrymen, carrying ladders and pushing siege vehicles, rushed towards the city walls.

But these are not the key points.

The key point is the thirty well gates built by Yugu!
This is the deadly thing that is enough to threaten the defenders on the city!

Once the gate is brought close, the Turkic soldiers can easily rush over and fight with the defenders in the city!
As the Turkic soldiers approached quickly, Long Tuqizhi raised his right hand. "Release!"

Whoosh whoosh.

Thousands of arrows were shot at the Turkic soldiers below.

The dense arrows, like the kiss of death, brought up dazzling blood flowers that fell on the white ground.

Poof.

One by one, the Turkic soldiers fell to the ground.

Shields were quickly raised by these Turkic soldiers and placed above their heads!
The Turkic archers drew their bows and aimed their arrows at the defenders on the city wall.

Fire suppression!

"Rolling stones and wooden planks are ready!"

Bang!
A ladder was leaning against the city wall!
The second ladder.

The third one.

"put!"

……

As the soldiers on the ladders climbed up and the soldiers pushing the siege vehicles rammed the city gate, Yu Gushe turned his head to look.

immediately.

Thirty siege towers, pushed by Turkic soldiers, moved closer to the city wall!

coming!

Long Tuqizhi's pupils shrank, the real big trouble was coming!

"Hahaha……"

"Qiyanlidu is the first to arrive at the city!"

Suddenly a loud laugh sounded not far from Su Chen.

Su Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a sturdy Turkic man excitedly hacking and killing the defenders in front of him, while roaring in excitement.

The first ones to climb the mountain.

Suddenly, more than a dozen defenders rushed out from the vicinity of the sturdy Turkic man, with long swords and spears falling one after another.

Just for a moment.

The Turkic man who claimed to be the first to climb the city wall, Qiyanlidu, was beheaded on the spot!

"Sir, the city wall is no longer safe."

Sun Qiang and Lu Fei stood in front of Su Chen and reminded him in a low voice: "Should we get down from the city as soon as possible?"

"Not urgent."

Su Chen shook his head.

The Longtu Cavalry has not been forced into a desperate situation yet, at least not all of its members have been released yet!

He must have another trump card!
"Sir, once the siege is close, the Turkic soldiers will be able to climb onto the city wall through the siege!"

Sun Qiang was born in the military and was most familiar with sieges. "When the time comes, the two sides will fight each other with swords flashing and sabers flying. People's lives will be in danger at any time!"

"Believe me."

Su Chen smiled and patted Sun Qiang on the shoulder, "Yuanqu City is not that easy to capture."

Sun Qiang hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily.

If the Turkic soldiers really continued to climb up the city walls, their strength would be enough to protect Su Chen and evacuate from the city walls.

after all.

King Yanqi’s head is much more valuable than Su Chen’s!
"gentlemen……"

Su Chen shook his head gently.

Li Jingheng frowned. Don’t act rashly?
The ledge was getting closer and closer, and Su Chen could clearly see the excitement on the faces of the Turkic soldiers standing on the ledge.

I can’t wait to be the first one to reach Yuanqu City!

Be the first to climb, kill the general, break through the enemy lines, and capture the flag!
Among the four great military merits, being the first to ascend the mountain comes first!

It not only tests one's bravery, but more importantly, luck!

The Turkic man just now was indeed the first to climb up to Yuanqu City, but unfortunately, he had bad luck and turned into a corpse thrown down in the next second.

at the moment.

As the well approached, we stepped onto the Yuanqu city wall and the road was smooth.

Every Turkic soldier in the well has the opportunity to be the first to climb the ladder and take the first place in the achievement!
Although Su Chen was not quite sure how much reward the first person in the Turkic army to climb the city wall would receive, he thought it should be similar to that of the Tang Dynasty.

Especially now!
"Rocket!"

The Dragon Cavalry shouted loudly, and some archers who had been assigned already took up the prepared arrows, and brought the arrowheads close to the torches to ignite them instantly.

Long Tuqi pointed at the approaching wells and shouted, "Fire!"

Rockets are different from ordinary arrows.

Ordinary arrows might be blocked by shields, but the rockets were wrapped with cloth strips filled with kerosene.

Once ignited, the flames will surge!

When facing the resistance of a shield, it is more useful than ordinary arrows.

Especially when facing the well set up by Yugu!
The goal was not to shoot and kill the Turkic soldiers on the well, as long as the well could be ignited, the goal would be achieved.

Duo duo duo.

One after another, the flaming arrows hit the well frame and the Turkic soldiers in the well frame.

However, the effect is minimal!
Especially under the snowflakes and the howling north wind, the flames on the arrows were greatly suppressed.

Nice idea, but unrealistic.

Su Chen sighed.

By the time the well was ignited, there would probably be thousands of Turkic soldiers who had already climbed onto Yuanqu City!

Bang!
The stairs on the well fell on the city wall.

One by one, the Turkic soldiers rushed out from the well like wolves smelling blood.

"kill!"

"Stop them!"

The Dragon Riders roared.

One by one, the defenders quickly went forward to meet them.

Fortunately, the opponent came up the stairs, not on flat ground, so the difficulty of killing him was reduced a lot.

Even many Turkic soldiers lost their balance and fell down the stairs.

But even so, the Turkic soldiers who were sent up by ladders and siege towers were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and they didn't know what death meant!
The powerful pressure caused the defenders on the city wall to gradually show signs of decline.

At this moment, Long Tuqizhi suddenly turned around and walked into the city wall.

Duang!
