Chapter 164: Ingenious and ingenious, the dummy deceives arrows and defeats the enemy with all odds
Darkness is like a curtain, covering the mountains and forests.
The stars twinkle in the distant sky, and their dim light can vaguely illuminate the winding and difficult mountain roads.
The cold night wind travels through the mountains, blowing the dead branches and weeds to make a "rustling" sound.
This team walked on the mountain path in the dark and cold, going around from the back mountain to the front mountain.
The front mountain is very steep, like a cliff. Because of this, Nalan's army was unable to climb up and could only adopt a siege strategy.
Helianjun reached the top of the cliff, lay down on the ground and hid his body, looking down at Nalanjun's movements.
The sky gradually became brighter, and when Gu Wangshu and others arrived at the top of the city, Nalan's army was already ready.
Last night, Fu Shoucheng thought about it until late at night.
They had been in a stalemate with Helian's army for two full days. The provocation method had no effect on Helian, and continuing would only delay their time.
The longer the timeline is, the worse it is for them.
The food and grass they produce can barely last for five days, so they might as well make a quick decision.
It would be best to capture Taiping City. If you cannot capture it, you will have to retreat reluctantly. It is not too late to wait until enough food and grass are supplied before you can think of a plan to attack the city.
Having made plans, Fu Shoucheng began to order an attack on the city today.
Gu Wangshu was not surprised that he would make such a decision. If it were her, she would not be so stupid that she would always act quickly and take action when it was time to take action.
The Nalan Army once again launched an siege operation against Taiping City.
Fu Shoucheng stood on horseback and commanded the battle from the rear.
The vanguard troops wore armor, held shields in their hands, put on all the best equipment on their bodies, and rushed forward with a huge and heavy wooden board as a pontoon.
The troops behind the vanguard also wore armor, but not everyone had a shield in their hands. They were divided into groups of three, with the person in front holding a shield, and the two people behind hiding behind the first person.
Once the vanguard troops die, the rear troops will replace them in time.
The vanguard of the Nalan Army rushed towards the city gate fearlessly, like an unstoppable torrent.
When they attacked, arrows fired from the city, but most of them were blocked by shields.
The Nalan army rushed to the moat in one go, moved the pontoon bridges above the moat, crossed the pontoon bridges, and began to hit the city gate together.
Seeing this, the Helian army did not panic. According to the arranged orders, they accurately threw rolling logs and rocks at the enemy troops under the city.
A stone weighing a hundred kilograms hit the shields of the Nalan Army, making a harsh metallic sound, and it was shattered into pieces. The arrows were set at the same time, killing those Nalan Army soldiers who were still alive without their shields.
The Nalan Army shouted loudly and continued to charge to fill the gaps.
More and more Nalan troops gathered under Taiping City, and the city gate was shaken with a "bang, bang, bang, bang" sound.
The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for a stick of incense and was not over yet.
Nalan's army lost nearly ten thousand people, and the ground was full of dead bodies. The blood was soaring to the sky, dyeing the earth red.
Facing such Nalan's army, Helian's army in the city tower also felt the pressure. Half of the 20 arrows they had captured were used in the blink of an eye.
Just when the battle situation between the two armies was tense, a fast horse appeared from the east.
There was a person sitting on the horse. This person had an arrow stuck in his arrow. His whole body was covered with blood. His face was pale and nervous. He came straight towards Fu Shoucheng.
"The general is in trouble. All the soldiers besieging the city on the east side were shot dead by Helian's army."
Fu Shoucheng looked at the battle situation in front of him seriously, and was suddenly shocked by this voice.
He turned around suddenly and saw soldiers wearing Nalan armor coming to report with fear in their eyes.
"What did you say?"
"Back to General, our army was ambushed and I was the only one who escaped."
Fu Shoucheng secretly said that it was not good.
He looked at the top of Taiping City in disbelief. There were only He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu on the tower, but the brothers Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi were not there.
No wonder that when Nalan's army attacked the city, the number of Helian troops on the city was only a thousand.
It turned out that the rest of the Helian army detoured from the city to the east side along the mountains to ambush their army.
Once a breakthrough is opened on the east side, the Helian Army can take the opportunity to take out the city and move rescuers to support Taiping City. This is quite disadvantageous for them. ,
Fu Shoucheng's heart tightened into a ball.
How to do?
Should we continue to defend here and attack the city, or go to the east to intercept Helian's army?
Fu Shoucheng was once again in a dilemma.
Although there were only a thousand Helian troops guarding the city, Taiping City was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it would not be possible to capture it for a while.
He might as well take some of his troops to intercept Helian's army during the siege of the city, and then return to the city gate to provide support.
Fu Shoucheng made such a decision after careful consideration.
Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan saw him leading more than 3 horses and running straight to the east. The dust was flying and they quickly disappeared before their eyes.
The two smiled at each other.
"Come out, Fu Shoucheng has fallen into a trap."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi appeared. They had never left at all, waiting for Fu Shoucheng to fall into his trap.
How to use troops:
Show them with softness and welcome them with hardness.
Show it with weakness and take advantage of it with strength.
Use She to respond to it.
The general desires the west and shows him the east.
This is claiming to attack the east, but actually attacking the west.
They dispatched a small team of less than a hundred people to interfere with Nalan on the east side, with the purpose of causing Fu Shoucheng to misjudge.
If he is not fooled, the Helian army will fight to the death at Nalan at the city gate, and the small team will fight a bloody path from the east side to move troops.
If he was deceived, he would lead some troops to intercept as he did now. The result would be that the number of Nalan troops attacking the city gate would be reduced sharply, and they would be divided from the strong to the weak.
There are more than 2 Helian troops in the city, although there are more than [-] fewer than Nalan troops outside the city.
But Nalan Jun had been tortured for several days without any rest, and was under great pressure both physically and mentally.
In contrast, Helian's army had been recuperating for days and was full of energy. They did not forget to practice every day. Although they were small in number, they could fight one against ten.
Helian's [-]-strong army stood inside the city gate, already well deployed, just waiting for the city gate to open and rush out to challenge Nalan's army.
Thousands of arrows were fired from the city tower, and the rolling logs and stones never stopped, killing all the Nalan troops who crossed the moat.
Before Nalan's rear troops could catch up in time, the heavy city gate opened from the inside.
The sound of "squeaking" is like a rusty screw.
The gates are open!
Nalan Jun was stunned on the spot, with doubts in his eyes.
But it only took a moment before he rushed over regardless.
Looking at Helian Kingdom again, like tigers coming down the mountain, they surged out of the city, and the two armies met each other.
Under the cover of the archers, the Helian army moved forward with indomitable courage and fought their way through Nalan's army.
The exhausted Nalan Army was unable to resist the beast-like Helian Army.
This was a one-sided massacre that shook the sky.
The Nalan army was like a trapped beast, with no power to resist.
