The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 474 Fake Attack
Not long after, Kent came to report: "Your Majesty, among the 1 soldiers defending the city this time, [-] were killed and countless wounded. The Supreme Emperor took away [-] elite soldiers..."

When Li Gu first heard it, he thought it was nothing, but at the end, he couldn't help but said, "Wait, what did you say?"

Ken De said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, when the Supreme Emperor was about to leave, he sent away five thousand elites for protection."

Li Gu, who had been fighting for nearly a day, had a cold light in his eyes at this time. Originally, the 5000 soldiers defending the city were a bit stretched. He didn't expect that his father would take [-] people with him before he left. Isn't this to demolish himself? ?

But now is obviously not the time to pursue this. Although only 1 people were killed on my side, the number has dropped by a quarter. I am afraid that the next battle will not be easy.

"I think the Mongols will not attack tonight, but I tell the soldiers not to take it lightly and be careful of night attacks!" Li Gu said to Kent.

Kendall nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll go down and make arrangements."

"The Mongols surrounded the city on three sides this time, but they deliberately left a city gate out. Their purpose was to completely defeat us, so whether they can withstand the Mongols' attack is the key to whether the people in this city will The key to escape!" Li Gu said softly.

Ken De nodded, and said to Li Gu: "Your Majesty, there is a serious shortage of troops now. I have ordered people to start conscription. I think the soldiers should be replenished soon."

Li Gu nodded and continued: "Find a few masons to completely seal the north city gate. I don't want to continue to burn the city gate tomorrow."

Kendall took the lead to do it.

After Li Gu arranged everything, he had a chance to take a break at this time. He didn't even go back to the palace, he just rested in the barracks.

Outside the city gate, inside the Mongolian army camp, at this time Temujin finally got the news that the man who looked like a general's nephew was actually the eighth prince of Xixia Kingdom.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the eight princes have now inherited the Datong and become the new emperor of the Xixia Kingdom.

Temujin couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly, secretly sighing that he was really careless, if he had known this would be the result, he would never have put Li Gu back.

Jamuka naturally knew what Temujin was thinking, and he said to Temujin, "Khan, I didn't expect this person to have such a chance, but we were mistaken."

Temujin nodded and said, "It was a bit unexpected, but it didn't cause any impact. The casualties today have been counted."

Jamuka nodded, and said to Temujin: "Khan, our army has killed more than [-] people, and the wounded are countless." few."

Temujin nodded, and said to Jamuka: "The top priority now is to capture Xingqing Mansion as soon as possible. After a long time, once the reinforcements from the local area arrive, it will be difficult for us to break through the Xingqing Mansion. .”

Jamuka pondered for a while, and said to Temujin, "Khan, why don't we attack the city overnight?"

After listening to Jamuka's suggestion, Temujin thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "We are the attacking party, and it is not a wise decision to attack the city at night. The number of casualties will increase greatly, and there is no way to truly to break through the city."

Zamuhe listened to Temujin's words and nodded his head, he understood this point, but in the current situation, time is urgent, and there is no other better way.

Temujin continued: "Although we cannot attack the city at night, we can feint."

After hearing what Temujin said, Jamuka's eyes lit up. There are still 18 people in the Mongolian army. If you want to feign an attack, it is still very easy. Divide into three teams, each team feigns 2 people, and then the rest The people in the army take turns to rest, so that the 18 troops can take turns to rest.

But the Xixia army can't do it. After all, they only have 4 people. As long as the Mongolian army pretends to attack, they must all respond. After a night of tossing like this, let's see how the Xixia defenders will defend the city tomorrow.

"Khan, what if the Xixia people see through our strategy and don't resist?" Zamuhe asked.

"If they don't resist, then it will be easy, we just take advantage of the situation and attack the city!" Temujin said lightly.

After making a plan, when night falls.Temujin ordered the army to attack the city.

The first team of 6 people attacked the city from three walls.

The defenders who had experienced a day of war had just rested at this time. To be honest, they didn't bother to stand up at all. At this time, they heard the alarm of the enemy's attack, so they could only drag their tired bodies to the city wall again. .

It was pitch black outside, and it was impossible to see how many people from the Mongolian army had come. The number of arrows in Xingqing Mansion was running out, and they were still firing arrows randomly. When approaching, start shooting arrows.

But before they could shoot arrows, the Mongolian army below had already started shooting arrows overwhelmingly.

The Xixia defenders on the city wall hurried to find a place to hide. After the rain of arrows passed, they hurriedly started to design against the Mongols, but they didn't know what to do.

"What's the situation?" Li Gu was also exhausted all over. Although he was not a delicate scholar, he had never experienced war after all. Today's battle made him very tired, he said to Kent.

Ken De smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, the Mongolian army is probably going to attack the city overnight."

Li Gu didn't expect the Mongols to be so crazy. He took a deep breath and said: "The Mongols attacked the city at night. It stands to reason that this is beneficial to us. The soldiers are ordered to be careful. The Mongols It's not easy to break through our defence."

Ken De nodded, and said to Li Gu: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do it now."

But having said that, facing the menacing Mongolian army, the defenders of Xingqing Mansion were still very nervous at this time, but they soon discovered something unusual, because this attack was obviously The thunder is loud and the rain is little. The Mongols seem to be feinting?

The news quickly reached Li Gu's ears.

Although Li Gu was fighting for the first time, he also understood the Mongols' intentions at this time, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing bitterly.
