Chapter 8: A clever plan to break the city

"At one go, I'll go down?" Li Zhong heard Wu Ji's words and would never believe it. The Zuoxiang Divine Army's city was tall and thick, easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Liao Kingdom had once had the idea of ​​this city, but because the city was too strong, it had to give up this idea.

Even if Wu Ji can fight, he will never be able to capture the city in one go.

You should know that in ancient times, it was the most difficult thing to encounter a strong city. Even if it was as powerful as the Huns, Turks, and Khitans, they were helpless when they encountered a strong city. A strong city often had to work hard, and often had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

Li Zhong knew that Wu Ji could fight and conquered Zhuozhou in one fell swoop. However, Zhuozhou was successful in making a profit. He was not the foolish person of Yelu Zhao, so it would never be possible for Wu Ji to make a profit.

In this situation, he would not believe that Wu Ji could capture the city in one fell swoop, but he would not believe that he would be killed.

Not only did he not believe it, but even the Xixia soldiers who had just become active also did not believe it. They thought to myself that Wu Ji was bragging and could not help but temporarily suppress their desire to surrender.

"You all listened, I will take down this city in one go! At this time, it is still time for you to surrender! If you surrender again after the city is broken, you will be regarded as an enemy of the Song Dynasty and kill you! And your family!" Wu Ji ignored Li Zhong, but shouted loudly on the top of the city.

"Commander Wu, we know that you are very good at fighting! But even if you kill us, we won't believe it. You can go down to this city in one go!" The soldiers of Xixia would never believe it and shook their heads.

"When you die, you will believe it!" Wu Ji pulled the reins and turned his back.

As soon as Wu Ji came back, Zhou Wei and the others were very angry: "How dare they not believe it, hum!"

"They are dead and are still so naive!" Huangfu Song said angrily: "The things we use to deal with Zhuozhou have never been useful, and they are just used to deal with them."

Wu Ji waved his hand and stopped the generals from talking, saying, "This is the first battle, and it is also a battle of power! After this battle, we will say this again, and the people of Xixia dare not believe it! In this battle, I have no intention of letting them surrender! If they surrender now, how can we establish our authority? It's just right that they think so!"

This is a battle to establish authority, the more you kill, the better. For the sake of the overall situation, Wu Ji had to say those words. I believe that as long as they hit the ball in one go, and if they say this in the future, the people of Xixia will have to pay close attention to it.

"Haha! They are seeking death, no one is wrong!" Qi Dabao and the others understood and couldn't help but smile happily.

"Siege the city!" Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and ordered loudly.

"Siege the city! Siege!" The Song army burst into a shocking roar.

Invading the city, killing all the Dangxiang people, and avenging the elders of the stable five cities is their wish. At this time, murderous aura is overwhelming and hatred is overwhelming!

"Siege the city?" Li Zhong sneered and said, "I see how you can go down in one go?"

Just as he was sneering, a team of Song troops pushed the hole cart out and prepared to attack the city. Li Zhong looked left and right and there was no other siege equipment except the hole cart, and he looked down on him even more: "I want to break through the left-wing Divine Army Division with the hole cart. Do you really think that the craftsmen in Daxia are all wine bags?"

The Left-Celebration Divine Army Office was used to guard against the Liao Kingdom. Xixia spared no effort to send skilled craftsmen to build this city extremely strong. Not to mention mere hole cars, even if they use powerful crossbows, they cannot be broken. The Liao people had tried this long ago.

The Song army pushed the hole cart under the city and stood on the city wall. Instead of siege, they got into the hole cart and stopped coming out, not knowing what they were doing.

"Hmph! With this little skill, I want to break the city? It's so whimsical!" Li Zhong was just one and two, not seeing the Song army take the ladder, not seeing the Song army climb the city, only a row of cave cars were placed there alone. Song army got in, not even a figure. It was a strange thing.

Since ancient times, I have never seen such a strange siege battle. Not only Li Zhong is funny, but even the Western Xia soldiers are ridiculed. The Western Xia soldiers who were just moved were even more secretly glad that they were not mentally irritated and immediately defected to the Song Dynasty. It turned out that Wu Ji had no good idea, just wanted to persuade them to kill them!

Wu Ji and the others rode on the horses, making them leisurely, without any impatience.

"They should have filled the moat, right?" Li Zhong looked at the hole car, grinned, and sneered, "This is February, almost March, and the ice and snow have melted. If they came early and the moat has frozen, they would have saved the hole car. Haha, it's so funny! I've never seen such a siege!"

"Report to General, the Song army is not filling the moat, but digging tunnels!" As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier rushed over and reported loudly.

"Digging tunnels? Haha!" Li Zhong laughed: "Everyone said that Wu Ji can use troops and predict things like a god, but he has nothing to say. But that's it! Did you dig tunnels like that? Just a train of holes are placed here, and you dig tunnels under my nose. When I was blind and couldn't see them, right?"

There were many ways to attack cities in ancient times, including digging tunnels, secretly digging into the city, and sending troops to attack them. In order to cover up the action, many people will be sent to attack the city, so that the enemy will not notice it. Like Wu Ji, there are only a train of holes and digging tunnels, and even pigs can be discovered. It is impossible to make Li Zhong not funny.

"Let's go and have a look!" Li Zhong was extremely funny. He pursed his lips tightly, suppressed his smile, and followed the soldiers to the tunnel to dig.

There are several large empty water tanks here, buried in the soil, which can be used to detect the enemy's activities underground. If an enemy digs a tunnel, you just need to lie on the water tank and listen to it. This is a method that has been used since ancient times. It is very simple and practical.

Li Zhong lay on the water tank, pricking his ears and sounded, and sure enough, a slight sound came.

"Haha!" Li Zhong smiled very comfortably and was very happy. He climbed up: "Wu Ji, Wu Ji, you are so famous! Do you think I can't find it? Come, three thousand elite soldiers are being sent here to guard it. When the Song army emerges, they all kill them! I want to give the Song army's head to Wu Ji, and see if he can smile?"

With a command, three thousand elite troops were transferred to surround the place. If the Song army dared to come out from here, they would definitely be killed on the spot.

In front of the Song army, Wu Ji, Zhou Wei, Huangfu Song, Qi Dabao, Han Fang, Li Mingchu and others were gathering together, joking softly, with a relaxed look on their faces, as if this was not a battlefield, but a trip.

"What do you think Li Zhong is doing now?" Zhou Wei stroked his forehead, looked happy and said with a smile: "I guess he must be laughing at us, not even siege!"

"We sent a train of holes to dig tunnels in front of him. Such an abnormal thing, as long as it is not a pig, you can think that this move must have a deep meaning after thinking about it. He must be mocking us for not using troops, and it is just a reputation!" Huangfu Song stroked his chin, raised his eyebrows, and said with a funny look: "If he really thinks like this, he will be a pig!"

"He can only be a pig!" Qi Dabao could not help but nodded, and said, "Since ancient times, he has dug up the tunnel and is preparing to attack. Maybe he will send thousands of elite troops to guard there, just waiting for us to fall into the trap."

"He absolutely could not have imagined that we were digging tunnels for sneak attacks!" The Korean side's eyes flashed and said, "This method was prepared to attack Zhuozhou. Zhuozhou has been successful in making a city for us, and it has not been used yet. Let Li Zhong taste it today!"

"Attacking Zhuozhou, the commander of Wudu issued a military order to the official family!" Li Mingchu smiled and said, "This time he attacked the Zuoxiang Shenhua Army Office, it was easy to capture! Li Zhong was about to die, and he was still in the dark and laughed at us. He didn't understand how life and death were! "

Wu Ji listened to their words, but he was thinking that although his method was good, there was a better way. If he had time, he would make another weapon, which would be much more convenient.

As he was talking, the soldier came to report that the authenticity had been dug.

"Let's start!" Wu Ji waved his hand, and the soldiers hugged all the things and went into the hole car.

Wu Ji jumped off his horse and followed him. Zhou Wei and the others followed, and the crowd entered the cave car, and saw an authentic tunnel deep into the ground.

Wu Ji followed the tunnel into the underground and saw that the tunnel was dug well, several feet wide, enough. Under Wu Ji's command, the soldiers put the square things in the tunnel and piled them neatly.

"It's almost a few thousand pounds, enough!" Wu Ji looked at it, and saw that it was enough, then he retreated with Zhou Wei and the others.

The news that Wu Ji entered the tunnel soon reported to Li Zhong. Li Zhong's eyes narrowed together and smiled uncontrollably: "Haha! Wu Ji is seeking death! If he dares to come out, he will definitely kill him! Have you heard it? Wu Ji entered the underground, and the Song army will attack immediately. You must be prepared!"

"Haha!" The Xixia soldiers burst into laughter: "This time, we must capture Wu Ji alive!"

"Yes! I want to capture Wu Ji alive! I want to tell him who is the real famous general! I want to tell him how the battle was fought!" Li Zhongzhi was proud and very happy.

Not long after, Wu Ji retreated again.

"Retreat?" Li Zhong was a little disappointed and immediately mocked: "Wu Ji is timid and dare not attack himself! Such a timid person is worthy of leading troops?"

Li Zhong raised his eyebrows and said to the Xixia soldiers: "You are guarding it. Don't let anyone go!"

Turning around and heading towards the wall. Soon, he came to the top of the city. Looking around, he saw Wu Ji, Zhou Wei and the others still in the Song army's formation, looking at the top of the city, his eyes strangely bright.

"Wu Ji, do you think my ears are deaf and can't hear them?" Li Zhong cracked the corner of his mouth, and he was very disdainful and mocked Wu Ji.

"Haha!" The answer was Zhou Wei and the others' laughter, their eyes were lit and they were very happy, as if this was the funnyest joke in the world: "Li Zhong, Li Zhong, you are still in the dark when you die!"

"Hmph!" Li Zhong would never believe it, and snorted coldly.

"Li Zhong, I'll invite you to fly!" Wu Ji looked at Li Zhong, and couldn't help but feel funny.

"Take a plane?" Li Zhong was puzzled by this fresh statement, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is an airplane?"

"Boom!"

As soon as Li Zhong finished speaking, he heard a sound of shaking mountains and shaking. The ground was shaking. A huge fireball appeared, sand flew away, and stones flew away, and the ground cracked.

Countless Western Xia soldiers were flying in the air, dancing and roaring, as if blowing the wind.
