Martial Sage

Chapter 242: An Unexpected Encounter

Deyang Zhongjun's big account.

Li Jing stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, looking at the two places marked in red on the map, lost in thought.

Xiangcheng and Baidao.

When Li Daozong was thinking about how Tang Hao relied on three thousand soldiers to break Xiangcheng in only half a day. Li Jing, who is thousands of miles away, is also thinking about the same problem.

Cheng Chumo only mentioned that Tang Hao used a few jars to break the solid structure open. This really made Li Jing puzzled, and he couldn't think of the mystery.

In today's Baidao City, the number of Turkic soldiers garrisoned suddenly increased to 8,000 in the first time after the occupation.

As soon as he passed Xiangcheng, Tang Hao faced the southernmost city of the Turkic. Undoubtedly, this was a city with a large number of garrisons, but an unusually strong city.

If any city has more than five thousand troops, it will become extremely difficult to capture it.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you want to break through a city where 8,000 people are stationed, even if it is 50,000 people, relying on siege equipment, it will be difficult to capture it in a short period of time.

Li Jing frowned and looked at Li Jingdao.

"Marshal, are we just stalemate like this?"

Having said this, Li Jing paused for a while, still expressing his own worries, said.

"Nowadays, the Turkic soldiers are clamoring outside the camp. Although the army is following your military order, it is inevitable that there will be complaints. If it goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the army will be unstable."

Vice Admiral Cheng Chumo also looked anxious, said.

"Marshal, now we can't pin our hopes on a cavalry that will be discovered by the Turkic army at any time, not to mention whether the 20,000 cavalry can break through Baidaocheng, let alone sneak into the grassland and disrupt the plan of the Turkic army. We are divided up."

Hearing this, someone agreed with him.

"Yes, marshal, nowadays, Baidao City is not only the 8,000 soldiers stationed there, but even 10,000 Turkic soldiers have been laid down under the city. If nothing else, General Tang can't attack Baidao City. "

From beginning to end, Cheng Chumo looked solemn and sat there without saying a word.

As for how the veteran officials and your majesty in the DPRK formulated this raid plan, Cheng Chu was unintentional. But for this strategy, Cheng Chumo himself opposed it.

In a raid war like this, the most important thing is to highlight the surprise attack strategy. Now this strategy has been used once, and if it is used again now, it no longer has that effect. What's more, how could a Turkic people fall twice in the same pit?

Li Jing slowly turned around, his face extremely ugly.

Now there is a difference of more than 40,000 troops between the frontal battlefield forces and the Turkic forces, and the odds of winning are extremely small. What's more, if a war really started, Tang Hao, a cavalry still in the territory of Datang, would completely invalidate the raid plan.

Thinking of this, Li Jing slowly raised his right hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said slowly.

"hold on."

Inside the big tent, it fell silent again, and everyone's faces were frowning.

...

At night, Xiangcheng.

"Urgent report!"

Li Wanqing's heart was slightly shaken by this rush of shouts before people arrived.

Suddenly, Li Wanqing raised her eyebrows, and a bad premonition developed in her heart.

In the blink of an eye, a soldier rushed into the house, looking flustered, said.

"Li Xiaowei, a large number of Turkic soldiers appeared outside the city and rushed straight."

Hearing this, Li Wanqing gave a soft cry on her face.

"Upper the city!"

After all, he hurried out of the house and went straight to the north gate.

Li Wanqing knew well that after the Turks captured Baidao City, they would definitely not stop invading. The next target would definitely be this city, but he didn't expect it would come so soon!

When he reached the top of the city, Li Wanqing raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the sound of faint horseshoes coming from above the dark broad field, rushing towards Xiangcheng.

Li Wanqing stared at these dark shadows and roughly estimated the number of cavalry in this team, which was about 10,000, temporarily relieved.

Today, this city with five thousand soldiers garrisoned can hardly be captured by only 10,000 cavalry.

What's more, most of these Turkic soldiers are cavalry, and it is undoubtedly more difficult to break through this city.

Li Wanqing slowly raised her right hand, with a sneer on her face, and shouted sharply.

"The archer is ready!"

With an order, the soldiers stationed at the head of the city bend their bows and shoot arrows, and the cold and sharp arrows point directly at the soldiers who are coming.

The second group of soldiers behind him also put their arrows on the bow, waiting for the second group of offensive.

More than ten thousand Turkic soldiers flew to the city of Xiangcheng in a moment.

Two hundred meters!

One hundred meters!

When it was less than 100 meters away, Li Wanqing shouted sharply.

"put!"

"Swipe"

A rain of arrows went straight to the Turkic soldiers who were flying down the city.

Almost instantly, the Turkic soldiers screamed again and again, and at this moment, the Turkic soldiers shot towards the city.

The soldiers garrisoned at the top of the city kept hitting arrows, and the soldiers standing behind kept coming forward to make up for the vacancy.

The Turkic soldiers who rushed to the ground were no better. In that short fifty meters, there were thousands of soldiers corpses on the spot, and some soldiers fell on the ground holding the part of the arrow, wailing.

As the Turks gradually approached the gate, the two sides were still shooting at each other.

At this moment, the Turkic stroke suddenly lit up one torch after another.

Next second.

Those little flames came straight to the city.

In a moment.

A sea of ​​flames at the head of the city!
