Chapter 1,186 Unwilling (Third update, asking for diamonds)
The war continues, and the number of troops besieging Dingxiang City on three sides has reached one hundred thousand. These one hundred thousand people are all the foreign armies of the Western Turks, and there are no Western Turks at all.
The purpose of King Zuo Xian is very obvious, which is to use these 100,000 troops to consume your military supplies in Dingxiang City.
It is equivalent to saying that these 100,000 people are given to you to kill. If you can kill them all, it is your skill. If you cannot kill them all, and by chance, these aliens attack the city, you will be unlucky.
As for the credit, of course it still belongs to him. All the calculations can be said to be done properly without any flaws. This is a familiar path for King Zuo Xian.
In Dingxiang City, Li Jing's expression was also a little ugly. Although he saw King Zuo Xian's plot, he had no choice but to resist.
Not resisting means giving up, and Dingxiang City cannot be defended. In desperation, we can only bite the bullet and attack.
At this moment, the messenger ran towards him, bowed and reported: "Commander, the west wall can no longer be defended!",
Li Jing frowned slightly and said, "What happened?"
The city walls on the north and east sides were attacked for so long and remained intact. How come the city walls on the west side couldn't be defended after only one hour of attack? How is this possible?
Immediately, the messenger explained everything about the west wall in detail.
"What? Killing one of your own? This is simply crazy!!!" Li Jing's expression suddenly changed.
He could imagine that if he followed this method and continued to shoot arrows during the siege, his soldiers would have to come out of the stone huts to resist, but once they came out, they would encounter the enemy's arrow rain, and the casualties would definitely be heavy.
The consequence of not coming out is that the western city wall will be captured by the Western Turkic army!
"You can't tell the difference between friend and foe!!! So cruel!!!" Li Jing gritted his teeth and said.
"Li Ji! You bring five thousand troops to support Niu Jinda on the west wall. You must hold on. If you really can't resist, you can use wooden lumps!!!" Li Jing said in a deep voice with an ugly face.
Wooden knot is one of his killing moves. If he can't use it, it's better to keep it as a back-up. However, the west side of the city wall is attacked indiscriminately, making the west side in danger. Once the enemy gets on the city wall, it will be troublesome.
!The number of people who will die then will not be hundreds of people, but tens of thousands of people!
The bravery of the Western Turks is unmatched by the Tang army. Even if they are dismounted, they are still extremely brave and fight head-on. The Tang army may not be the opponent of the Western Turks.
This is something that the Eastern Turks have a profound experience of.
If it's absolutely necessary, the only option is to use wooden knots.
Although the existence of wooden knots will be exposed, it is a helpless move. With this thing in hand, you can't throw away the west city wall! If the west city wall is lost, what's the use of having wooden bumps!
Li Jing didn't expect that it would be like this on the first day of the battle. This was really beyond his expectation!
After Li Ji led troops to support Niu Jinda on the west wall, the originally precarious west wall finally stabilized its position.
Compared to Niu Jinda, Li Ji was really smart. Since the enemy knew how to use arrows, he armed his shields with full strength and used them to resist the rain of arrows. He even used all the shields on the south city wall to resist the rain of arrows.
Got it over.
Relying on the shield to resist the rain of arrows, even if the enemy attacks, they can still use some rocks to smash down and pour the boiling oil down.
Of course, there were also soldiers who were accidentally shot by four or five arrows and failed to withstand the impact, causing their shields to deviate and fall, and were shot to death.
This can only be said to be bad luck, but at least this method keeps more people alive and able to fight back.
"Niubi, are you convinced now?" Li Ji looked at the Western Turks who had faded a lot, and he breathed a sigh of relief and joked to Niu Jinda beside him.
"I'm convinced, why don't I just obey? Why didn't I think of using a shield?" Niu Jinda said with annoyance as he patted his forehead.
It's not that Niu Jinda didn't expect it, but the enemy attacked too fiercely and didn't give Niu Jinda any time to think. Unlike Li Ji, he was thinking of countermeasures when he came, and he went straight to the facts after he came.
This is the reason why the authorities are confused and the beholder knows clearly!
The battle lasted from morning until sunset, and then King Zuo Xian ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops!
Changsun Chong looked at the guarded west wall with an ugly face, feeling very unwilling to do so.
His indiscriminate attack was actually blocked by other people's shields. If it weren't for these damn shields, his army would have already stepped onto the west city wall!
For this reason, of the 40,000 horses given to him, only more than 20,000 were left, and more than 10,000 people were lost in the battle in one day, which was a bit high.
Although I don’t know how many casualties there were on the north and west walls, there is no doubt that he suffered the most battle losses here!
King Zuo Xian asked for gold to withdraw his troops. Even if Changsun Chong didn't want to withdraw his troops, he had no choice but to do so. Although he was temporarily in charge of these foreign tribes of the Western Turks, the real command power still rested with King Zuo Xian.
