Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1095 New Year’s Eve
The offensive and defensive battle in Dingbian City continued for several days.

The trench outside the Tucheng has been basically filled in. That was because the Luchuan Army threw the bodies of the soldiers from both armies who died in the battle, of course the vast majority of them were their own, into the ditch in order not to affect the siege.

The Luchuan Army tried their best to attack the city every day, but in the face of the well-trained and well-organized Ming Army, they always failed again and again.

Every time they climbed halfway, the Ming army would push down the ladder with a fork pole, and the soldiers on top would have no choice but to fall down, hitting a group of people below.

Later, the Lucchuan Army came up with a way. After the ladder was set up, they quickly used bamboo poles and wooden sticks to hold the ladder feet tightly to prevent the Ming Army from knocking down the ladder. Unexpectedly, the Ming army's fork poles had other uses. They held the poles with both hands and pushed the fork poles down the ladder. The sharp chisel blades smashed the cutting belts, directly killing the soldiers at the top. Got off the ladder.

A wise man reached out and grabbed the back of the blade, trying to use his strength to bring down the Ming army. Who knew that as soon as his hand grasped the horizontal blade, there was a sizzling sound of flesh burning! The soldier suddenly let go of his hands like an electric shock and fell down with a scream...

The same goes for the soldiers at the back. As soon as their flesh touches the chisel blade, they fall down in agony, as if there is a magic attack attached to the chisel blade.

In fact, the Ming army lit a stove on the top of the city. Before using the fork pole, the chisel blade was inserted into the furnace to heat...

Moreover, there was still boiling water on the stove. Seeing that enemy troops were about to rush forward, the Ming army soldiers picked up the pot and poured a pot of boiling water on them. The effect was better than anything else.

But there were too many Lucchuan troops. The soldiers above were trying their best to attack the city, and the auxiliary soldiers below were not idle either. They braved the boiling water and falling rocks of the Ming army and worked hard to dig holes in the wall!
Needless to say, the effect is really good. Because Dingyuan City was only a temporary fortress built by the government and army, the city wall made of piled stones and adobe was less than one-tenth as strong as a normal city wall. Under the Luchuan Army's unremitting digging, the Tucheng wall was riddled with holes, and even a section of the wall collapsed, leaving only the rammed earth foundation.

"Fortunately, everything is over..." Peng Mailang said bitterly: "When I catch the leader of the Ming army, I will cut him into pieces to vent my hatred!"

"No, he is a respectable opponent, we have to give him dignity..." Dao Silang was about to show off the magnanimity of a winner, when suddenly a sharp-eyed general pointed at the gap and shouted:

"I originally thought that we could capture this small earth city in a few days at most, but I didn't expect it to take so long." The generals were also sighing. They watched the battle with them every day, watching their soldiers suffer heavy losses every day, and they were equally incomparable. torment.

When they saw this scene, Dao Silang and others on the opposite hillside couldn't help but cheered. Because in their perception, breaking through the city wall is a sign of victory!

"No, Marshal, it seems it's not over yet!"

"Quickly, kill them, don't let them succeed!" Dao Silang jumped to his feet angrily.

I saw that the Ming army was actually well prepared. They had already put up the prefabricated horses to temporarily block the gap, and then began to repair the city wall on site.

"What?" Dao Silang and others hurriedly set up an awning and looked at the gap.

"It's really not easy..." Dao Silang let out a long sigh of relief, and then sat back on the chair as if exhausted. Who knows how he got here these days. It was so painful that my hemorrhoids recurred...

Without his orders, the Luchuan Army would naturally not have given the Ming Army time to close the gap. It was so easy for them to open it!

The two sides surrounded the gap in the city wall and launched a fierce hand-to-hand fight. At this time, the gap in the quality of the individual soldiers between the two sides became obvious.

Even in such a critical situation, even if they stepped on the broken bricks and rocks on the ground, the Ming army soldiers were still able to maintain their formation and used the cover of the Juma to form an insurmountable flesh-and-blood city wall.

On the other hand, the Luchuan Army only knew that they were attacking in a swarm, with no formation at all. Although they attacked fiercely, they could not break through the Ming army's defense line of combining long and short forces, covering each other, and advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.

As a result, until the Ming army closed the gap again, they were unable to cross the Lei Chi. This is called not being afraid of not knowing the goods, but being afraid of comparing goods. When the little overlord of Indochina encountered the strongest army in the world, he completely showed his prototype...

Seeing that the Ming army responsible for blocking the attack began to withdraw in an orderly manner, the angry Luchuan army not only confiscated its troops, but launched a more violent attack. They want to kill all the Ming troops who are blocked outside the wall to vent their anger!

The soldiers of the Ming army remained calm, and the front team covered the retreat of the rear team. The soldiers on the city wall also fired bows and arrows to suppress the red-eyed Luchuan Army. However, as the strength of the troops decreased, the Luchuan Army still destroyed the Ming Army's resistance and rushed to the Ming Army.

In the end, most of the Ming army retreated back to the top of the city along the ladder, but the last sergeant of Xiaoqi was grabbed by the legs and feet by the crazy Lucchuan soldiers and dragged to the ground, refusing to let them back alive. Otherwise, the entire Lucchuan Army will really be suffocated to death...

~~
Seeing that the Ming army repaired the city wall like magic, Dao Silang angrily smashed the small table with fruits and tea, and his roar echoed throughout the hillside:

"Okay, okay, you can play me in every one of them, right?! A cooked duck can make it fly again!"

"It really doesn't look like an act..." Peng Mailang and others whispered: "Those Ming troops are so powerful. They fight in the front row and build walls in the back row. What the hell is this!"

"The guard still has something," the experienced general had to be convinced: "This reaction is too fast..."

"When I catch him, I will peel off his skin and cramp his muscles!" Dao Silang said viciously. No dignity left!
~~
In fact, the Ming army did not have it so easy. After the city wall collapsed just now, it was also full of dangers. Everyone had their hearts in their throats, and even used the reserve team to stabilize the position.

And after so many days of fierce fighting, even though the Ming army soldiers defended effectively, there were too many enemy troops, and the attacks came one after another. It also caused considerable losses to the Ming army.

Why did Sun Tzu say, "Ten principles surround it"? As long as my number is absolutely large enough, even if the exchange ratio is ten to one, the losses caused to you over time will be quite terrible.

Hu Quan checked the gap that had been filled, and then looked at the wall full of sergeants lying everywhere.

After the fierce battle, the soldiers were all exhausted and injured, and they had no choice but to rest on the spot while the enemy troops retreated.

"This battle is becoming more and more difficult." Ning Zheng whispered.

"Yes." Hu Quan nodded: "The enemy has too many troops and is trying every means to break the city. Naturally, we are tired of dealing with it."

"Fortunately, their moves were all as expected by my uncle." Ning Zheng couldn't help but rejoice: "Otherwise, in the scene just now, if the general had changed, the city would have been destroyed."

"It's just a little more experience. This is the method King Ninghe used to plug the gap when we were in Hongdu. I'm just following the prescription." Hu Quan said lightly: "If you can defend the city for three months, all I have encountered all kinds of situations.”

"I hope it doesn't take that long..." Ning Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "In total, the general has been guarding the place for a full month."

"Time flies so fast." Hu Quan counted the days and suddenly said: "Today is New Year's Eve, I have to find a way for everyone to eat dumplings."
