At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 349

In terms of defending the city...

He can even say that no one in the world can compare with him.

"I have checked his past. Wang Cong, a former minister of the Sui Dynasty, refused to guard Hejian County when Dou Jiande swept Hebei, and guarded Hejian County for two years with only a few thousand soldiers. This man's ability... "

Li Xiaogong sighed.

If he stays here for another two years...

Even if he got through Puzhou, Li Jing's [-] troops would be gone.

In the grassland, the plague is pervasive, and the food and grass of the [-] troops are about to run out...

If you want to survive, you must herd cattle and horses like the local Turks.

Learning the Turkic way of life will inevitably catch diseases.

"But general, His Majesty has sent several orders, urging the general to send troops as soon as possible."

The confidant gritted his teeth tightly, cupped his hands and said: "The general is worried... If the general stays still, he may be slandered by the court..."

With the decline of Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng guarded Mianchi for a long time without success, and Li Xiaogong's current status has risen.

He won Li Yuan's trust.

Many people in the court have long been jealous.

"Let's attack over there."

Li Xiaogong put his hands behind his back, looked at the towering city wall of Puzhou, and aimed at the city gate...

Prepare to launch an onslaught.

This time he brought 20 troops, if the cost of casualties is really ignored...

It is completely possible to attack.

But doing so would be tantamount to defeating Li Tang's background.

Killing eight hundred enemies, self-defeating one thousand.

In the future, he may be powerless to fight for world hegemony.

But he couldn't ignore Li Yuan's order, so he directly aimed at the weak city gate and carried out a key attack.

Previously, spies came to report that Puzhou City was lost because a burst of thunder blasted through the gate of the city.

From the looks of it...

The gate of the current Puzhou city is very dilapidated.

Looks like a breakthrough.

As long as he rushes up with a warrior, and then hits it with a giant log, it is possible to open the city gate!
……

Puzhou city tower.

Xu Shiji, Shen Guang, and Wang Cong each held a telescope.

They are observing Lee Hyo-gong's 20 troops.

"This time, Li Yuan is completely in a hurry."

The corners of Xu Shiji's mouth curled up, revealing a sneer.

At the beginning, the lord shouted the slogan of pacifying the world within three years...

Li Yuan sneered a lot.

And now...

As the Turks fell into an epidemic, Li Jing's [-] troops were isolated on the grassland...

Li Yuan's strength has dropped sharply, and the gap between Henan and Jingzhao has gradually narrowed.

Just wait until the end of the year...

The soldiers recruited by Zhang Xutuo's Taiyuan County were well trained, plus the grain harvest from Fang Xuanling's second Taiyuan County in Henan...

With everything in place, it is a great opportunity to attack Dou Jiande and Li Yuan aggressively.

"This time, we still need to rely on General Wang."

Afterwards, Xu Shiji saluted Wang Cong.

For this veteran, he has great respect.

When the lone army guarded Hejian County and was isolated for two years without reinforcements...

He can still stick to it, which is really not something ordinary people can do.

"Don't worry, both of you, although Li Xiaogong is a famous general in the world, as long as I guard Puzhou for one day, Puzhou will belong to Wanmin City forever!!"

Wang Cong also carried a bow on his back, and said proudly.

He and the lord had requested before that they needed a god-arm bow full of the power of a stone.

Although he can't compare to that pervert Zhang Xutuo...

But there is still a handful of strength.

And after returning to Wanmin City, seeing all the magic of Wanmin City, as well as all kinds of good governance that treats the people well...

He now has a deep sense of belonging to Wanmin City.

"The enemy has attacked..."

After speaking, Wang Cong looked at Li Xiaogong's army ten miles away with the binoculars of the new equipment in Wanmin City.

It's so far away, but it seems to be close at hand.

Using it on the battlefield, you can observe the opponent's movements at any time.

In the binoculars, he clearly saw Li Xiaogong's two-winged army starting to dispatch.

Obviously preparing to attack the city.

"Their direction is the city gate..."

After careful analysis, the corners of Wang Cong's mouth twitched.

as predicted.

Li Xiaogong also aimed at Zhengcheng gate.

But this gate...

The back has been firmly blocked with cement.

A full three meters thick.

Thicker than the city wall!

Gates are not a weakness.

I hope that Lee Hyo-gong finally breaks through the city gate...

Do not despair.

……

Outside Puzhou City.

Li Xiaogong ordered the army to storm for three hours.

within three hours.

Wang Cong set up the defense equipment and kept slaughtering the enemy troops who attacked the city.

These defense equipment are all the latest equipment.

Convenient and easy to operate.

And high durability.

It is completely different from the ones sold to Dou Jiande and Shibi.

The lethality is also extremely strong.

In just three hours, more than 1000 people were buried under the city of Puzhou.

But the same...

After paying a huge price, Li Xiaogong's army broke through the city gate.

however……

Before they had time to be happy, they saw a thick stone wall!
They tried to hit it hard with a giant log a few times.

It turned out that the stone wall was standing still.

It made their mouths go numb.

They bumped for a quarter of an hour...

The stone walls were motionless.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

More than 1000 people were injured...

Destroyed a city gate.

Failed.

After the troops were withdrawn, Li Xiaogong learned about the situation behind the city gate...

Frowning tightly: "I've heard of this miraculous stone. In several cities in Henan County, these stones are used. They are as hard as iron, much stronger than the city walls..."

"Pass down the general's order, cook at the third watch tonight, and attack the city at the fifth watch. This time, storm the city tower!"

Under the pressure of Li Jing, Li Xiaogong had to continue to attack the city.

This time.

He chose the way of night attack.

Generally speaking, such a tall city is not suitable for night raids.

A tall city wall will increase the difficulty of night raids and reduce the success of night raids.

Likewise, if the walls are low...

Night raids are very easy to succeed.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, it is extremely difficult for the defenders to see the enemy clearly.

And in the middle of the night, people are sleepy and soldiers are exhausted, and there is almost no resistance.

If it is not necessary...

He will not use this ruse.

……

that night.

The army under Li Xiaogong lit the torches, and took advantage of the night to storm Puzhou City.

at the very beginning……

It went really well.

The forward troops even rushed to the tower.

But then...

A group of soldiers in black armor sprang out from the city tower, holding long-handled Taiping swords, almost one by one...

It directly cut through the thick armor they were wearing.

Their thick armor is like paper.

And their knives slashed at each other's black armor...

It burst into flames, but it could no longer be cut in.

Under the huge equipment gap...

The vanguard army who attacked the tower was killed directly.

The follow-up reinforcements were all swept off the city wall by the defense equipment.

This time the night attack ended in failure again.

Lee Hyo-gong who heard the news...

fell into silence.
