Afternoon.

The army led by Qibing Heli rushed outside Tiandicheng and met with Li Zaigu.

Li Zaigu did not rush to attack the city, but first persuaded him to surrender to Kuo Wenshan.

Tuo Wenshan has one thing in common with his half-brother Tuo Wentai, both of which are all conceited.

I thought that with the strong city walls and wide moat, ten thousand Tang troops could not break through Tiandicheng in a short time.

Tuo Wenshan and his advisers believed that as long as the city was guarded, the Tang army would withdraw soon.

The Tang army came on a long journey, and its logistics supplies naturally could not keep up and could not carry out long-term combat.

Therefore, Qu Wenshan asserted that he refused Li Zaigu's persuasion to surrender and was determined to fight the Tang army to the end.

Seeing that the persuasion of surrender was fruitless, Li Zaigu discussed countermeasures with generals such as Qibian Heli and Jiang Xingben.

Li Zaigu and others all understood that this battle should be decided quickly, otherwise it would affect the entire situation.

After discussion, Li Zaigu and others had a solution.

On the one hand, Jiang Xingben was ordered to lead people to assemble the stone-throwing cart and crash the cart. On the other hand, he ordered soldiers to cut wood and build bridges and fill moats so that they could pass through the moat.

Also, Li Zaigu ordered Qie Heli to lead people to dig tunnels several feet away from Tiandicheng.

Using various methods at the same time, the Tang army acted according to the order.

In dealing with such cities with strong city walls, strong houses, and long-standing defense, many of Li Zaigu's summoning techniques were unable to play a role.

Even if some summoning techniques can work, they are too powerful and can easily hurt the common people in the city, so Li Zaigu had no choice but to give up.

While Qibing Heli led his men to dig tunnels, siege tools such as stone throwing cars were ready.

However, there were only two stone throwing cars they brought, and the other three were left in Liugu by Hou Junji.

With the order of Jiang Xingben, the stone-throwing cart began to throw stones into Tiandicheng.

Some defenders in Tiandicheng could not hide and many were stoned to death.

Most common people hid in their houses, hiding in the cellars where food is stored at home, or hiding in tunnels...

The stone has no eyes, and some civilians who did not hide in time were smashed to death.

War is so cruel.

Whether it is a soldier or a civilian, as long as a war breaks out, life will not be guaranteed at any time.

Fortunately, Li Zaigu had already ordered Jiang Xingben to throw stones and can only aim at the defenders on the city tower? The stones are not allowed to be thrown into the inner streets of the inner city.

At the same time? Li had the virtue of living a life in ancient times and did not summon "meteorites from the sky"? Otherwise, more civilians would die.

Tuo Wenshan, who was hiding in the tunnel, was so scared that he was trembling. He asked the counselors and generals around him in a trembling voice, what should he do?

A general advises? He can order the soldiers guarding the city to be blocked by the Tang army's thrown stones with felts.

The general's countermeasures were unanimously recognized by Cowenshan, his advisers and generals.

Kuo Wenshan immediately ordered the guards in the city to block the stones and throw them.

So, the defenders of Tiandicheng found a felt quilt to resist the stone thrown by the Tang army using a stone throwing chariot.

At the beginning? This method was used to successfully resist the throwing of rocks, greatly reducing the casualties of the defenders, but not long after it was too long? They discovered a problem.

Although the felt quilt blocked the throwing stone? It also hindered the defense of the defenders and better counterattacks.

Li Zaigu discovered this loophole in the enemy's army and immediately ordered the soldiers to build bridges and fill the trenches. Then Li Zaigu personally led fifty soldiers to push the car and seized the opportunity to rush across the moat first.

The enemy troops on the city tower shot arrows down from the arrow's eyes.

In an instant, the arrow shot down like rain.

Li Zaigu was prepared? He immediately ordered the shield to be raised to resist the arrow.

Can arrows be shot? But due to the obstruction of the felt, the chance of hitting the target is much lower.

At the same time? The stones and wood that were originally prepared were also blocked by the felt? It cannot play a role.

Watching the Tang army cross the moat? Near the city gate.

The enemy troops on the city tower continued to shoot arrows through the arrow's eyes.

After all, it is difficult to be airtight between each shield player? Still, a sharp arrow shot through the gap and hit some Tang army soldiers.

Fortunately, among the people who were shot, one was shot with his feet and the other was shot with his shoulders, and no one was shot to death.

Seeing this, Li Zaigu could only use the "guard" in military advisor skills to temporarily block the enemy's arrows.

The "guard" is not effective for each use, only one hour.

However, one hour is enough.

In addition to the time limit for each use, the "guard" has two defects.

One of the shortcomings is that it is difficult to withstand too strong impact forces, such as large rocks thrown by stone throwers or stone throwers.

Another disadvantage is that it cannot protect a large-scale area, and can only protect it within three feet of the distance centered on Li Zaigu.

The fifty soldiers led by Li Zaigu happened to be within the scope of the "guard" guarding, and no one was shot by the enemy's arrows again.

No one noticed something was wrong. Everyone thought that the reason why the arrow shot could not hit the target was the shield's resistance.

Because, the "guard" is transparent.

Li Zaigu and others rushed to the city gate and used a car to break open the city gate.

As soon as the city gate was broken, Li Zai's ancient spear swung, as if he had entered a no-man's land.

Li Zaigu and others immediately occupied the city gate, and other Tang troops rushed over one after another.

At the same time, the tunnel was opened, and Qibing Heli led an army out of the tunnel and rushed out from it.

Soon, Tiandicheng was captured by the Tang army.

Coach Wenshan knew that the situation was hopeless, so Wanben had no choice but to lead the remaining military and civilians to surrender.

More than 7,000 men and women in Tiandicheng were captured.

In this battle, the Tang army successfully captured Tiandicheng with few casualties and achieved a great victory in less than a day!

Just when the Tang army captured Tiandicheng, Hou Junji led a large army outside Gaochang City and prepared to attack the city.

Qu Zhisheng in Gaochang City knew that Hou Junji led the Tang army to besiege Gaochang City, and was so scared that he didn't know what to do.

Qu Zhisheng cursed: "Hou Junji, this villain, clearly promised that I would not attack Gaochang City during my mourning period, but he actually went back on his word!"

"Hou Junji deliberately asked us to relax our guards." Zhang Jun said hatefully.

"Now that these are useless, you might as well think of strategies to defend against the enemy." Asunaju said with a calm face.

"King, I have a plan that may be able to make the Tang army not attack the city for the time being, so that we can prepare to defend against the enemy." Zhang Jun said seriously.

All the civil officials and military officials present immediately stared at Zhang Jun, with questions and some expectations in their eyes.

Zhang Jun looked at Qu Zhisheng and said slowly: "The king can write a letter to Hou Junji to apologize to Emperor Tang. Let Hou Junji see that the king was in a mourning period, if the Tang army attacked the city at this time, it would be criticized by other countries for being unkind and righteous."

Qu Zhisheng thought about it and did not immediately express his acceptance of the suggestion. Instead, he asked the others: "What do you think General Zhang's plan?"

Some ministers expressed their support, some believed that they needed to make plans for the long term, while some ministers remained silent.

"King, time is tight, please make a decision early!" Zhang Jun spoke again.

Qu Zhisheng hesitated for a moment and decided to follow Zhang Jun's plan.
Chapter completed!
