After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.
Chapter 284 Confrontation
On the sixth day after the military supplies arrived, Dugubo's generals led their troops to attack the city again. However, they were all repelled by the Shence Army throwing rolling logs, boulders and other objects. The rebels suffered heavy casualties and had to temporarily withdraw their troops.
Li Xiujing walked on the street holding her helmet, with unconcealable tiredness on her face. In the past few days, in addition to dealing with the rebels outside the city, he also had to be wary of hidden secrets inside the city.
What's even worse is that the weather is getting hotter. As the number of battles between the two sides increases, it also means that diseases are prone to occur. He asked Feng Yuanxian to follow Cui Boyu to take stock of the remaining medicines in the city, in case there was an epidemic and no medicine could be used.
Dragging his tired body back to the commander's mansion, Li Xiujing summoned his generals to discuss matters.
Pointing to the map in front of him, Li Xiujing said in a deep voice: "Scout report. Dugu Bo ordered people to cut wood in the camp day and night to build siege equipment."
He Liang, Feng Yuanxian and others looked at each other, looked at the map and waited for his next words.
"Right now, our army is short of food and fodder, and the rebels are intensifying their siege partly because of the lack of food and fodder." Li Xiujing pointed to the ground at his feet and said, "It would be too costly to attack from the front, so it is not suitable. Our army can dig a tunnel and enter directly. Their camp. Burn the rebel siege engines."
"When does the general plan to take action?"
"Tonight. I'm afraid there will be a lot of fierce fighting in the city in the past few days, but we can't just stick to it without fighting. The city in Qingyuan is not as good as the county. Our army still goes out of the city to meet the enemy."
"But what if the enemy also digs a tunnel to block our way?"
He Liang on the side fired back: "Then we can't sit still and wait for death. Dugu Bo probably knows the situation in the city, so he keeps sending troops to cause trouble and consume our supplies."
"Feng Yuanxian, you lead a team of people to dig a tunnel tonight. In addition, prepare dry firewood in the tunnel in case they really dig a tunnel." Li Xiujing said coldly, "Throw some fire for them over there."
"Here. The general will definitely make it impossible for the rebels to come back!" Feng Yuanxian responded with confidence.
After finishing all the instructions, Li Xiujing asked Cui Boyu to come down and ask about the military reserve. With the lessons learned from the vice general's betrayal last time, he paid special attention to military resources. After careful consideration, he decided to invite Cui Boyu to supervise the allocation of grain and grass in the city.
"According to the time calculation, the letter has probably reached Wang You's hands." Li Xiujing rubbed the other two tips in his hand and said.
"There was a rift between the two. Now that Dugu Bo has been unable to attack Qingyuan for a long time, Wang You may have become dissatisfied." Cui Boyu took a sip and spoke softly, "Moreover, these five people have their own agendas. This is a tactic to alienate each other. If it is used properly, they themselves will have to get into trouble first."
Listening to Cui Boyu's words, Li Xiujing's eyes smiled even more.
Seeing Li Xiujing's look in his eyes, Cui Boyu asked slowly, "General Li, do you like my girl?"
"Can't I like her?" Li Xiujing turned around and asked.
He likes Pei Jiaoran, regardless of appearance. He likes her with a unique soul and her lust for power. She was far more attractive than Shi Fendai.
Glancing at him, Cui Boyu's eyes showed deep meaning, "Of course. But if General Li only loves the girl because of her appearance and wants to welcome her as the eunuch's wife, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
Not to mention that he never thought about it that way. Besides, he wasn't with her yet, so why would he give up? But he still wanted to find out Pei Jiaoran's past from Cui Boyu.
Cui Boyu smiled and said, "General Li comes from a high family. I am afraid that the women he comes into contact with are especially gentle and gentle. They are good at drinking tea and painting. Although there are some people who have become officials, they are mostly cultivated with the help of their families. The burdens on them are not light, and my family The same is true for the girl. The girl is not from a high family, but her ancestors also have important people. She may still have a moment of leisure and travel with friends. Since the girl was chosen as the heir, her path has been different from others. The same thing. The toilet paper she now has is hanging her wrists on the wall to practice calligraphy, and she has developed the pine wind and plum bone. I know that in your eyes, she is good at calculations and strategies, and often uses deceit to trap people. She is not a kind person. But still General Li, please think carefully. If the world is really tolerant of women, why use conspiracy? Besides, it is really inappropriate for a girl to go this way. I hope you will cherish her more."
Li Xiujing sighed with emotion. He could tell that Cui Boyu's words made it clear that he didn't want him to drag Pei Jiaoran down, and he didn't want him to trap Pei Jiaoran in the back house because of his greed for beauty.
"Don't worry, Mr. Cui. No matter what happens in the future, I will not implicate Qingjia." Li Xiujing bowed her hands and spoke sincerely.
Looking at Li Xiujing, Cui Boyu nodded. Then he smiled meaningfully, his girl was no ordinary girl. The husband's hard days are still going to be long.
Feng Yuanxian led his men to dig tunnels day and night, taking turns to rest. Zheng Jiong, who had been defrauded out of the city by him before, also contacted Dugu Bo. The two of them were taking turns attacking the city.
War in the past has always been divided into decisive war, foolish war, and wise war.
As long as both sides are not at the end of the war, they will not decide on a decisive battle, and they will both waste each other. He ordered He Liang to lead his men to resist Zheng Hao behind the city, while he faced Dugu Bo at the front.
Both sides lined up their shield troops in front of the formation, with spearmen behind the shield troops, and archers and crossbowmen in ambush behind them. The cavalry lay on both sides, ready to attack at any time to defeat the weakest point of the opponent's defense.
Li Xiujing glanced at the formation set by Dugu Bo. He turned to the messenger and whispered, "Order the heavy cavalry on the right wing to attack the center."
Both sides are equal in strength. Moreover, Dugubo ordered his army to set up a diagonal formation to prevent his own surprise attack.
The messengers nearby heard the words and immediately beat drums and waved flags. The military judge who received the order immediately passed the order to the captain of each column. Under the cover of a wave of arrows from the archers, the heavy cavalry on the right rushed straight to the side of the rebel center.
The heavy cavalry galloped out from the right wing and divided into two columns, holding ropes to pull off the hen sticks used to defeat shield soldiers. The two knights each ran to the left and right and used their strength to throw the hen stick and hit it hard on the shield.
The Helin stick itself hit the shield very hard at this moment, and the shield soldiers in the front row of the rebels were directly hit by the impact. At this time, the heavy cavalry of the Shence Army had taken the opportunity to rush into the two wings of the rebel army's formation, causing chaos. With the speed of the war horse, he returned to his own camp.
Without giving Dugu Bo a chance to rearrange his formation, Li Xiujing immediately ordered the archers to take the opportunity to shoot.
The arrows shot out in response to the order. Without the cover of the front row of shield soldiers, the pike infantry in the middle were all exposed to the dense rain of arrows.
Wait until the Shence Army's arrow rain pauses. After regaining his strength, Dugubo personally beat the drum and ordered the light cavalry on the right wing to attack Shence's left wing. Pike infantry followed.
"He is planning to deny me a way to survive." Li Xiujing raised her eyebrows and turned to order the soldiers, "The enemy is one hundred and fifty steps away from us, shoot them with crossbows. At sixty steps, let the archers shoot them!"
Heavy cavalry are difficult to shoot, so let them come over. Get caught in it.
The soldiers who deliver the order must deliver the order. There was a deputy team leader holding a Mo Dao behind him and a military judge in front of him. All the sergeants cooperated in an orderly manner and fought alternately.
As soon as Dugubo's heavy cavalry entered the left wing of Shence, they fell into the encirclement of Shence's light shield soldiers. Under the siege of a group of spear infantry in hand-to-hand combat, they retreated steadily.
The advantage of heavy cavalry lies in their horses, but once they are trapped in an encirclement, their flexibility is greatly reduced. The crossbowman, who had found the opportunity, put on his cape and changed into a modao. He slashed the horse's leg with the knife, cutting off its retreat.
The beating of drums in the rebel array became faster and faster.
Seeing the situation, Li Xiujing issued military orders again. The heavy infantry met the opposing pike infantry, and the heavy cavalry once again took advantage of the situation and launched an attack on both flanks of the rebels.
There were constant sounds of fighting on the battlefield. The drums at the rear of the Shence Army array sounded three times, and then they made long drums. Hearing the sound of drums, the Shence Army, led by the leader of the team, shouted "Hey He" in unison, and the left and right troops advanced with guns raised.
Watching the Youzhou soldiers under his command retreating steadily, the Shence Army was getting closer and closer. Dugubo had no choice but to order his subordinates to ring the golden zheng three times to urge the soldiers fighting in the front to withdraw their troops and return to camp.
"Aren't we going to pursue the general?" the messenger asked reluctantly when he returned.
After hearing this, Li Xiujing said: "Let the cavalry follow them and see whether they are pretending to be defeated or really defeated."
"What if they are really defeated? Should we catch up at once?"
Looking at the excited messenger, Li Xiujing did not answer him, but fell into a long silence.
