Sui and Tang Dynasties Summons

Chapter 59

After Li Zitong took Tian Feng into custody, he led the [-] defenders in Hailing to the Jiankang front line to gather the Jiankang defensive army, with a total of [-] troops, ready to fight Deng Ai to the death.

Deng Ai captured Yuhang, and his military strength soared from less than [-] to [-]. The three layers inside and outside were surrounded by three layers, making Jiankang a watertight one.

In Du Jun's camp, all the generals discussed military affairs.

Deng Ai glanced at the topographical map hanging on the tent with Langmei, and groaned silently.

"Brother, why don't you let me lead [-] troops, rush directly into Jiankang, and kill Li Zitong to the bum!" Ever since Yan Liang defeated Yuhang with three swords, he has been heroic and generous. Seeing that Jiankang is difficult to attack, he took the initiative to invite Ying to fight.

Deng Ai saw that Yan Liang took the initiative to ask for a fight, smiled and said: "Brother, you don't have to be so eager to fight. How can this Jiankang be compared to Yuhang? This Jiankang city wall is one foot higher and six feet thicker than Yuhang, and there is Li Zitong himself in the city With an army of [-], a strong attack is absolutely impossible."

"It's really annoying, I just want to take Hailing straight away!" Seeing Deng Ai's refusal, Yan Liang complained by himself.

"The two armies are facing each other, don't talk nonsense!" Deng Ai reprimanded.

"Give me Hailing?" This remark gave the silent assistant a hint of inspiration, weighed things up and down, and then spoke after a moment of pondering.

"Shizai, why don't we attack Jiankang and directly attack Hailing?"

"Attacking Hailing... This is a good way, but how can we deceive people?" Deng Ai heard Fu Gong Er's reminder, and while thinking about it, his wolf eyebrows shot at the territory.

"Yes!" Deng Ai had a flash of inspiration when he looked at the terrain of Jiankang, and a clever plan emerged spontaneously.

"Pass my order, the whole army will abandon the camp at the first watch, light a candle for every five tents, and remember not to extinguish the flame!"

Inside Jiankang City.

Li Zitong was sitting in the former Chen Palace, surrounded by gold and green, and the colored glaze shone with golden light.

Li Zitong looked at the many generals in the audience, but his face was serious.

"What do you all think should be the next step?" Li Zitong coldly threw the question to the audience, but no one responded for a long time.

Li Zitong sighed helplessly, since Tian Feng was taken into custody, he has no more incompetent people under his command, not even a military general, everything has to be relied on by himself.

"That's all." Li Zitong shook his hand, resting his brow with one hand, leaning against the gold case, thinking about the strategy to defeat the enemy.

In the main hall, the atmosphere chilled the flying dust.

Just then.The soldiers hurried in, cupped their hands and said, "Your Highness, the enemy has urgent information, and the patrol sent the news. The entire Du army camp was silent, and only one of the five battalions was on patrol!"

"Okay! There is no way out in the mountains and rivers, and there is another village! God help me." When Li Zitong was frowning, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded when he heard this information.

"Your Highness, why am I so surprised?" All the generals in the audience were puzzled by this.

I saw Li Zitong stroking his thick beard, and said contemptuously: "A group of trash, when the enemy army is resting in front of them, it is a good opportunity for our army to attack. Hurry up and gather [-] soldiers and horses for me. The king wants to send troops himself, and kill him by surprise! Haha!"

In the lobby, Li Zitong's arrogant laughter echoed.

At the same time, let's look at Du Jun who evacuated in secret.

Deng Ai led the army and approached Hailing. Compared with Yuhang and Jiankang, Hailing was inferior. The city wall was one foot lower than Yuhang's city wall. There used to be more than 4 defenders in the city, but [-] were taken away by Li Zitong. There are only three or four thousand troops in the city. With Deng Ai's fifty thousand troops, it is like nothing.

"Brother, if I give you [-] heavy armors, are you sure you can break through the gates within an hour?" Deng Ai inspected Hailing's situation, then turned and asked Yan Liang, who was eager to try.

Yan Liang snorted coldly, and said arrogantly: "What's so difficult about this? Look at this city, it's even weaker than Yuhang. Why does it take an hour? Half an hour is enough. If I can't break the city, I will naturally apologize!"

"Okay! General Wang, you command five thousand archers and shoot wildly at the defenders above the city gate, creating the safest environment for General Yan to attack the city! Remember, we must be fast, we don't have much time!" Deng Ai looked back He also sent Wang Xiongdan with [-] troops to cover Yan Liang's attack on the city.

The defenders of Hailing City were absent-minded, immersed in a safe environment for many years, lacking in defense.

Rumble.

Suddenly there was a thunderous sound of wooden wheels rolling, and the guards on the city looked over from a distance, only to see a huge log suddenly appearing under the city, leaning on ten board wheels, rolling towards the city gate.

"Not good! Enemy troops are coming to attack the city, shoot the arrows!" The soldiers always had a sense of vigilance as soldiers. When they saw the enemy troops coming to attack the city, the defenders on the city put up their bows and prepared to defend.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

All the defenders on the city hadn't fired their arrows, and suddenly arrows shot out from both sides of the sky, swallowing up the light of stars and stars in the night sky, as violent as pear blossoms in a torrential rain.

Ah!
There were bursts of screams from the city, and amidst the arrow rain, the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart by arrows continued to be heard.

Hailing's bow and arrow defense reached its lowest ebb, Yan Liang saw that the siege log was rolling too slowly, a man roared in front of him, and immediately accelerated a lot, the log hit the city gate, making a loud bang, and shook Into smoke and dust.

"Brothers, hit!" Yan Liang yelled again, pulling out the thick hemp rope with both hands, and mobilized the log.

"One, two, three!" Seeing Yan Liang's supernatural power, the soldiers of the three armies shouted wildly and struck with all their strength.

No matter how small an ant is, an ant can swallow an elephant!

Bang!
There was a loud bang, and the entire city gate was shaken in two, leaving it dilapidated.

"Break it open, brothers and I will kill it!" Yan Liang saw the city gate smashed open, took out the big knife hanging behind him, rushed into the city, and killed among the enemy troops, stirring up waves of blood.

Then look at Li Zitong, who led an army of [-] to attack Deng Ai's tent at night. Li Zitong took the lead and charged into the camp. .

Li Zitong opened the curtain, but his eyes were full of surprise, there was no one in the tent.

"Your Highness, there is no one in this tent!" Not only Li Zitong, but all the accompanying soldiers will lift up the curtains one by one, and there is no one in the tent, it is actually an empty camp!
Li Zitong was in a state of mind immediately, how could this happen!Thoughts were rolling in my mind like a tide, and seeing the horseshoe prints leaving in a hurry, I suddenly realized.

"Not good! Du Jun is shameless, he must have attacked our Hailing camp, and all the generals will join me in attacking Hailing!" After Li Zitong suddenly realized, he hurriedly led his army horse Yueye to Hailing not far to the north. Mausoleum City.

In Hailing City, Yan Liang led [-] heavy armor and entered the city. Deng Ai then led [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to break into the city. After more than an hour of fighting, they completely captured the entire Hailing City.

There was a frantic sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Li Zitong led the army to rush to the foot of Hailing city, only to see Deng flags hanging on the city gate. Obviously, Hailing has been captured by Deng Ai.

Li Zitong led thousands of troops, and the whole army was stunned under the city of Hailing, unable to believe the scene in front of him.

"How is this possible! First, Zhang Shun rebelled, then Yuhang suffered a loss, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Xian were beheaded, and now they are even with Hailing!"

The more Li Zitong thought about it, the angrier he became.The blood in the chest was surging.A mouthful of old blood rushed to the base of his tongue.He opened his mouth and sprayed it out.

"Your Highness!"
