A loud bang exploded in Cheng Yaojin's circular formation, killing and injuring many soldiers. This made Cheng Yaojin curse his mother angrily, and kept scolding Changsun Wuji for being despicable and shameless.
Fortunately, he also had a lot of wooden knots. Since Changsun Wuji used wooden knots, he was naturally unambiguous. He tied wooden knots to the arrows of the crossbowmen, lit them, and shot them.
The enemy troops blocking his path were immediately knocked off their feet by the explosion.
Although he was also suffering from bombing from the rear, he opened a gap in the road ahead.
At that moment, Cheng Yaojin ordered an attack. Everyone formed a sharp arrow formation and rushed towards the opened gap.
The transformation of formations was quick and methodical, without any panic. It was obvious that his troops had mastered these formations and could switch at will.
Everyone said that Cheng Yaojin was reckless, and everyone said that Cheng Yaojin had three axes, but who knew that the smartest person in the Tang Dynasty was Cheng Yaojin.
What does it mean to be wise and foolish? Otherwise, how could Cheng Yaojin live more than a hundred years in history? The old brothers who had followed him long ago were eliminated by Li Shimin.
When Cheng Yaojin led his army to open a gap in the encirclement, Changsun Wuji's men finally panicked.
Once Cheng Yaojin runs away, they will be out of luck. Changsun Wuji will definitely kill them.
One was escaping, the other was pursuing, both sides were locked in a tight fight.
Cheng Yaojin's idea was simple. As long as he escaped back to his camp, the pursuers behind him would naturally retreat. If they didn't retreat, they would just wait to be bombarded by his artillery.
While Cheng Yaojin was dealing with the enemy, Chengdu County was also resisting desperately. The artillery on the city wall almost never stopped for a moment and kept bombarding, killing and wounding countless enemies.
Coupled with the cooperation of Mugoda, even if there are enemy troops approaching the city wall, they will be wiped out immediately, without giving the enemy a chance to rush to the city wall.
You know, rushing to the city wall will require hand-to-hand combat, which will result in the loss of a large number of troops.
Duan Xuanzhi only had 60,000 men, which was usually enough to defend the city, but now with 200,000 men attacking the city, the pressure was great.
Duan Xuanzhi has the means to stop them, and so does Changsun Wuji. His biggest advantage is that he can make wooden bumps.
Bundles of wooden lumps were placed in the trough of the catapult, and were shot towards the city wall by the catapult.
Relying on this method, although Changsun Wuji's army did not attack the city, Duan Xuanzhi also suffered heavy losses.
It can be said that the two armies are now in a stalemate, and neither one can do anything to the other.
It is said that Cheng Yaojin ran all the way, but in the end nothing stopped him from running back to his camp.
The pursuing enemy troops naturally refused to give up and wanted to capture Cheng Yaojin's camp. However, before they could enter, they were bombarded by a round of artillery fire, causing heavy casualties to the pursuing enemy troops.
The pursuing enemy troops had to retreat and once again formed a blocking line, denying Cheng Yaojin a chance to make a sneak attack or rescue.
Of course, Changsun Wuji's idea of annihilating Cheng Yaojin was also shattered.
The news reached Changsun Wuji's ears immediately!
The siege failed and there was no progress at all. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin also failed!
This made Changsun Wuji furious, and he almost killed several generals who besieged Cheng Yaojin. If it weren't for the opportunity of employing people, Changsun Wuji would definitely be ruthless!
Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin was beaten back by his men again and did not dare to come out again. This created conditions for Changsun Wuji to attack Chengdu County.
Without reinforcements, Changsun Wuji was confident that he could capture Chengdu County in half a day!
The idea is very simple, that is, to deliver false news to Chengdu County, saying that Cheng Yaojin has been annihilated, and to dampen the morale of Chengdu County soldiers!
At the same time, all channels that could communicate with Cheng Yaojin were blocked, not even a fly was spared, and Chengdu County was completely isolated.
Under tremendous pressure, if you send someone to talk to Duan Xuanzhi and ask him to surrender, I think the conversation will be much easier!
Just when the war in Shu was in full swing, Goguryeo and Pyongyang, after rectifying their troops, Changsun Chong did not stop at all, and led his troops towards the Green River!
Although the spies reported that Li Jing had not yet crossed the river, Changsun Chong did not take it lightly. This was Li Jing, Tang Chao's military god. An oversight would mean he would die without a burial!
