Tibet

Prince Arole hurried to the city and found Li Ye. At this time, Li Ye stood at the top of the city, considering various defense possibilities. He remembered the scene when Absi's army attacked Anle County. The opponent did not have siege weapons, but they actually If you use human ladders to attack the city, it will still be a two-meter-high city wall. The city wall in front of you is only one foot high. Will the opponent build human ladders?

The answer is obvious. We must never let them choose the option of taking a human ladder. We must actively create other opportunities for them.

At this time, Prince Arolie stepped forward and said: "The whole nest has been taken away. According to the general's instructions, several people were captured alive, and their leader was also captured."

"Have you confessed?"

Prince Arolie nodded, "Following the general's instructions, we interrogated separately. They all gave accounts, and the confessions are unanimous. At three o'clock tonight, they will open the east city gate to welcome the food cavalry into the city!"

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

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

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

"There are about 80,000 of them. They were left over from the time when Tuqi Shi was destroyed."

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

Prince Arolie's eyes lit up and he immediately reacted, "What a great idea, I'll arrange someone right away!"

"The second thing is that I have to fill tens of thousands of bags with soil. This is the most important. I immediately arrange for soldiers to fill the bags with soil for me."

Li Ye whispered a few words about his plan, and Prince Alole cheered repeatedly, "I will immediately mobilize the people to help!"

Night fell quietly, and the temperature began to drop sharply. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city worked hard all afternoon, and finally saw results. Except for the top of the east city gate, the rest of the city walls were filled with water and all froze, making the entire city wall crystal clear.

There is no room for people to stand on it. Even if the enemy soldiers climb up the city using ladders, it will be useless. Instead, they will fall and get injured.

The most important thing is inside the east city gate, a large circle is built with soil bags, about seven feet high, and is surrounded by spears. Even if the enemy cavalry leaps over the soil wall, they will fall down together with their horses. On the outer spear formation,

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

Li Ye and twenty men stood at the head of the east city. They were surrounded by haystacks. The city gate was easy to open, but how to close the city gate was a big problem. The city gate would be blocked by enemy cavalry. It is impossible to close the city gate.

Li Ye thought of a way. He asked Ba Khan's soldier to dig a trench one foot wide and two feet deep outside the city, lay a thick wooden board on it, drill a hole at each end and put on two long iron chains. It essentially made a drawbridge, and once they pulled the drawbridge up with chains, it formed a gate.

Cities in the Western Region generally do not have moats, and naturally there is no concept of suspension bridges. I believe that the Great Food Cavalry will not realize this.

The time gradually came to the third watch. Li Ye looked into the distance. He could already feel that there were cavalry in the distance. He didn't know how many cavalry there were, nor did he know how many enemy troops were inside. However, Li Ye estimated that there were only three thousand cavalry at most, and Bu Sicheng's two Thousands of cavalry, plus one thousand cavalry from the Stone Kingdom.

The Tocharian regiment is all Tocharian people who believe in the Great Food Cult. The leader Hu Te is also a Tocharian. He will definitely lead the Tocharian cavalry personally to attack Bukhana. The wealth and treasure house of Bukhanna are not good. Is this what they dream of?

Li Ye's inference was absolutely correct. There were exactly 3,000 cavalrymen in the two miles, and they were personally led by Hu Te, the chief general of the Tocharian Army. Their goal was very clear, to plunder the treasury and private wealth of Bakhna. Take away a young girl named Bukhan, and the remaining land, population, etc. will belong to the Stone Kingdom.

Hu Te looked at the moonlight and saw that the appointed time was almost here. He immediately ordered: "Light three torches and wave them!"

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

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

He ran hundreds of steps and suddenly stopped his horse. There was a trace of hesitation in his heart, and he always felt that something was not right. At this time, the deputy leader Eguli rushed to him and said with a smile: "The box with ten gems in the inner library. First comer gets it!”

"asshole!"

Hu Tie was angered by these words. He galloped towards the city with his horse, followed closely by countless cavalry, and the sound of horse hooves began to ripple on the grassland.

Deputy leader Eguli narrowed his eyes. Is it really that easy to take down Khan?

Hundreds of cavalrymen were getting closer and closer to Kesai City. The city gate slowly opened. Huth drew his sword and shouted, "Come into the city and seize the palace first!"

Hu Te led hundreds of cavalry into the city gate like a storm, but only rushed a hundred steps. He suddenly reined in his horse. There was no road ahead. It turned out to be a high mud bag wall. Looking around, the entire city The door is surrounded by a long wall of mud bags.

"No, I was fooled!"

Huth shouted, "Retreat!"

Prince Arolie gave an order at the same time, and the two thousand Bakhan soldiers who were lying in ambush raised their bows and fired arrows, with hundreds of rockets mixed in. The cavalrymen of the Great Food were hit by the arrows and fell off their horses. There was a scream, and the hay on the ground was also destroyed. It ignited and began to burn rapidly.

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

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

Li Ye held a bow and arrow in his hand and squinted his eyes to look for the enemy general among the chaotic crowd.

More than 500 cavalrymen rushed in, and there was a huge chaos. The feet were full of fire, and the horses and soldiers kept screaming. Many cavalrymen jumped out of the mud bag wall in desperation, but what was waiting for them was a dense crowd. In the spear formation, even men and horses were pierced by sharp spears and killed on the spot.

The soldiers on the periphery continued to shoot arrows at the enemy troops within the large circle of the mud bag wall, while many able-bodied civilians struggled to throw bundles of hay into the large circle of the mud bag wall.

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

At this moment, a powerful wolf tooth arrow shot towards him through the blazing flames. Hu Te did not notice at all, "Pfft!" The arrow hit his temple. He suddenly opened his mouth wide, and the vitality in his eyes quickly Gone, 'plop! ’ The body fell into the fire.

The Dashi cavalry who had not entered the city were also shouting outside the city. Many cavalry tried to jump over the ravine more than one foot wide from the side, but as soon as they jumped over, the horses neighed miserably, and both men and horses fell into the ravine and were killed. Pierced by the spear below.

After dozens of people died, the Dashi Cavalry discovered that the ground opposite was filled with dense arrows. No wonder the war horses couldn't stand still.

Many Dashi soldiers ran further away and built human ladders to go up to the city, preparing to rush to the top of the city and lower the suspension bridge. However, they fell down one after another before taking a few steps to the top of the city. The ground was covered with thick ice, making it difficult to walk. .

At this time, the soldiers of Bukhan were well prepared, and dense arrows were fired from the city. The nearly 100 Dashi soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were unable to dodge, and they all fell down from the city after being hit by arrows.

"Stop!"

Deputy leader Eguli shouted, and everyone fell silent and watched the suspension bridge slowly descend.

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

The Dashi cavalry were so frightened that they all retreated. The deputy leader Ai Guli secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Te was dead, and now he was the leader of the Tocharian Legion.

He shouted, "The enemy has an ambush and the leader has been killed. We will retreat immediately and return to the Stone Kingdom!"

More than 2,000 cavalrymen were not interested in fighting. They turned their horses and followed Eguli to retreat towards Shiguo.
