Chapter Eighty-Eighth Attack

"General, under the city of Yuli, the rebels are still there, but they have not attacked the city. Someone counted their camps and there must be five thousand bandits."

The scout sent soon returned with a horse and reported to Li Siye that the soldiers all showed such a look, but Li Siye was too lazy to pay attention to these poor things, and just asked Chen Guang, "Chen Lang thinks whether our king can stop these rebels."

Yanqi Country claims to have a household registration of 30,000 and a population of more than 100,000. However, Li Siye has been in Anxi all year round. Of course, he knows that the number of household registrations in Anxi countries is not accurate. The wealthy chiefs in those places hide their populations, and these small countries are a combination of farming and pastoralism. What do you know which nomads can emerge from the towers.

The dangers of this rebellion and the valleys of the mountain country are calculated based on household registration, with a population of less than 30,000, but there are currently 5,000 bandits besieging Yuli City. If you think about it carefully, you will know the tricks.

No matter how many rebels are, Li Siye is not afraid. He is afraid that he cannot wipe out the rebels at once. At that time, those defeated soldiers will become bandits, which will cause trouble.

"The king's two thousand palace guards can be called elite soldiers. Although there are five thousand bandits, they are finally the mobs gathered in a hurry. It should be no big problem to stop them."

Chen Guang hesitated because things on the battlefield were never accurate. If the king had a fever, he would fight the rebels to the death...

"No big problem, that's the problem."

Li Siye said in a deep voice, then he looked at the circle of generals standing around, and suddenly shouted the names of several people, "You are here to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to wait for the king, and the rest will follow someone to the fire city."

Seeing Li Siye splitting his troops, Chen Guang felt that nothing was wrong. Two thousand people should have a problem with taking the Huo Shaocheng. When they broke the Huo Shaocheng, they turned around and attacked him, and he and the king surrounded and annihilated the remaining rebel forces under the city of Yuli.

"Here!"

The generals whose names were named were not unwilling to accept their dissatisfaction. Although their general had a bad temper, they were fair in their affairs. Even if they stayed here, their general would definitely compensate for the goods and would never suffer any losses.

...

Before dawn, Chen Guang was awakened by the fang soldiers. After yesterday's division, Li Siye quickly approached. In less than a day, he arrived near Huoshao City, hid in this canyon, and then repaired it for the middle of the night.

He stretched his waist, pulled off the blanket wrapped around his body, moved his body until his whole body was slightly hot, and he stopped. At this time, all the Anxi soldiers around him climbed up from the ground.

There was no military tent or cooking utensils. The whole army only brought dry food and drinking water for three days. Chen Guang and the fang soldiers gnawed the hard cakes together and swallowed them in cold water. At this time, Li Siye was already walking among the soldiers, loudly encouraging morale.

After pussing the whole piece of Hu cake, Shen Guang began to wear his bright light armor. At this time, except for the cavalry, the whole army was wearing armor. The entire canyon was quiet, with only the solemn sound of the collision of armor leaves.

When the sky finally lit up a little white, Shen Guang rode out of the canyon with the army and slowly headed towards the fire city that was still shrouded in the dark shadows in front of him.

Walking forward less than five miles from the city, the rebels on the city wall still did not find the approaching Anxi Army.

At this time, a sun slowly rose on the horizon in the east, and the sky seemed to be burned by fire, showing a magnificent red color.

Li Siye looked at the city wall less than two feet away, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. With his big wave of his hand, four hundred cavalrymen rushed out of the team like arrows, and the sound of horse hooves broke through the silent morning.

On the top of the city where the city burned, soldiers finally found a large army suddenly appeared outside the city. Amid the panic shouts, the dozing soldiers were awakened, and then the rumbling drums sounded at the top of the city, alarming the entire city.

The distance between the five miles was only a short time for the running light cavalry. When Chen Guang continued to advance slowly with the team, the four hundred cavalry had already pulled a valuable one from the distance of fifty steps before the fire. Then they set off their bows and arrows and poured arrows into the chaotic city wall.

When Chen Guang and his team arrived less than an arrow from the city wall, the cavalry shot Hu Luli's arrows and retreated. The city wall was already in a mess. The rebels who rushed up were frightened and their souls were thrilled. They had never encountered such a fierce attack since the rebellion.

Jumped off the horse, Chen Guang watched the armored Anxi infantrymen carrying the simplest long ladder and rushing towards the city wall. He couldn't help but want to rush forward, but Li Siye shouted, "Don't be anxious, let's try the quality of the rebels."

There were more and more rebel guards coming from the city wall. They began to fight back with bows and arrows. From time to time, arrows fell in front of Shen Guang. Behind Shen Guang, the crossbowmen in the army had already pulled the crossbow and fired the first round of volleys.

Listening to the buzzing sound like a swarm of bees in his ears, Chen Guang looked up and saw a black crossbow arrow drew an arc in the air, falling straight to a place with the most archers on the city wall, while the armored infantry in front still strides quickly towards the city wall.

The crossbow arrows were in the flesh, and the rebel archers on the city wall wailed. They did not have iron armor to protect themselves, and even wearing leather armor was not much better than cloth clothes.

"Shoot, shoot arrow!"

On the top of the city, there were rebel officers yelling loudly. Under the rising sun, they could already see the big flags raised in the army attacking outside the city. It was the battle flag of the Tang army, and they were finished.

Despair was spreading, but no one dared to give up resistance. Everyone knew what would happen if the Tang army was allowed to break the city.

Chen Guang looked at the rebels who suddenly became crazy on the top of the city and poured arrows at the Anxi infantry approaching the city wall with crossbow arrows. From time to time, he could see infantrymen hitting the ground with arrows. Mingguang's armor seemed to be comprehensive, but there were always gaps. Under such dense rain of arrows, the infantrymen who charge to attack the city have only suffered dozens of casualties, which is already extremely powerful.

The simple long ladder with a hook finally laid on the rammed earth city wall. The infantrymen of the Anxi Army who approached all climbed up hard. Although some people landed from time to time, they were still killed by these powerful Anxi Army infantrymen on the city wall.

Chen Guang looked at the fierce fighting on the city wall and the rumbling of gold and iron echoing in his ears, and felt his whole body hot, as if his blood was boiling, "General, Chen Guang asked for a fight."

Chen Guang didn't want to be a spectator just, and he didn't want to get the first place just like that. He didn't want to be looked down upon by the soldiers of the Anxi Army.
