At this time, the siege battle did not have the artillery of later generations to clear the ground. The infantry occupied it and filled it with life. It depended on who could not withstand it first, the siege or the defender. In short, it was who was less. Even so, the battle losses between the attackers and defenders are at least three to one. Even if the attackers succeed, they will definitely lose more than one-third of their troops.
The "Strategic Attack Chapter" in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu mentions about siege warfare: "If you are ten, besiege it, if you are five, attack it, if it is doubled, divide it. If the enemy is small, you can fight it, and if you are small, you can escape. Then you can avoid it." The meaning is obvious. If the enemy is ten times outnumbered, besiege it. If the enemy is five times outnumbered, attack by force. If it is two to three times outnumbered, you must find a way to fight the opponent and strive to defeat it gradually. If the number of troops is less than the enemy's, then you can avoid it." Fang, it’s better to stop fighting and retreat quickly.
The current situation is that the total number of troops in Weizhou City, including the troops brought by Li Xiuning, is only about 15,000, while Liu Heitai is known as an army of 100,000. Although at least one third of them are auxiliary soldiers and porters, There were 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers, which was equivalent to five times the number of soldiers defending the city of Weizhou. Liu Heitai was also well versed in the art of war and was able to attack in five ways, so he beat drums and asked the soldiers to continuously attack Weizhou City.
On the top of Weizhou City, Li Xiuning and Tian Liuan's soldiers were raining down arrows. Many of Liu Heitai's soldiers who were attacking the city fell directly on the road to attack the city. Many soldiers who were hit by arrows were still there. Wailing, some were even able to be saved, but were trampled to death by the soldiers rushing up from behind. At this time, the soil under Weizhou City turned red, and the blood gathered into puddles, which were constantly trampled and splashed.
The entire battlefield outside the east gate of Weizhou City turned into a meat grinder. Liu Heitao's soldiers with shields covered the soldiers carrying ladders towards the city wall, while the soldiers on the city bent their bows and set arrows. , and kept shooting these soldiers who wanted to get close to the city wall.
Some soldiers had already arrived under the city wall, erected ladders, and placed them directly on the wall of Weizhou City. The soldiers guarding the crenels began to throw down wooden and stone objects. Some even kicked down the ladders and threw them The siege soldiers who were climbing the ladder fell down with screams.
"Why is there no signal yet?" Li Xiuning was already a little anxious at this time, saying that the plan could not keep up with the changes. "Did something happen to the military advisor?" Li Xiuning couldn't help but look around.
"It's too dangerous here! Your Highness, we'd better go to the city first! I will defend Weizhou City to the death!" Tian Liuan also saw Li Xiuning's anxious look, thinking that Li Xiuning was dissatisfied with the battle to defend the city, and hurried over to persuade Li Xiuning. Besides, now the city Shoot arrows upward and downward, and shoot arrows toward the city from below.
There is a saying: "A general is not afraid of thousands of troops, but of an inch of iron!" In this battlefield where arrows are flying, if Li Xiuning is injured, Tian Liuan will definitely not be able to survive, and His Highness King Qin will not be able to spare himself.
Moreover, Tian Liuan was also a little anxious. At this time, he also thought about Lu Chen and was waiting for Lu Chen's signal. He also wondered if something had happened to Lu Chen and why he had not heard from Lu Chen for so long!
Fang Qi and Meng Ji, who had been helping to defend the city, were also anxious. They were also waiting for Lu Chen's signal.
"Is something going to happen to the military advisor?" He chopped down a soldier who climbed up the city with his sword. Fang Qi wiped the blood that was spattered on his face and turned towards Meng Ji who was also slashing the enemy soldiers beside him. said.
"Impossible! It's not like you don't know the skills of a military advisor!" Meng Ji raised his foot and kicked an enemy soldier off the crenel. "It must have been delayed by something!" Meng Ji also said with some worry. .
This siege was about going all at once, and now was the time when the morale of Liu Heitai's army was at its peak. Seeing the troops rushing toward Weizhou City like a tide, Su Dingfang kept looking around, waiting for Lu Chen's signal.
The wails and shouts of killing soared into the sky, and it was true: "The red battlefield is full of broken iron clothes, and the east of the city has been heavily surrounded."
"Why is there no signal yet?" Li Xiuning stood at the top of the city and looked at the bottom of the city.
On the hillside outside Weizhou City, Lu Chen was lying on a boulder, holding a sniper rifle and searching for Liu Heitai through the scope. Finally, under the handsome banner, he found Liu Heitai wearing golden armor and riding a black horse. So The bright colors are so eye-catching that it’s hard not to notice him, not to mention there is such a big handsome flag next to him!
Lu Chen stuck out his tongue and licked his thumb to test the wind speed. His current location was about 900 meters away from Liu Heitai. With an M99 sniper rifle at this distance, Lu Chen believed that it would not be difficult to kill Liu Heitai with one shot, but Where has Su Dingfang gone?
Lu Chen began to search for Su Dingfang with the scope, and finally saw Su Dingfang behind Liu Heitai. Su Dingfang was about a horse's length away from Liu Heitai. It seemed that this guy was also prepared. Through the aiming Looking in the mirror, Lu Chen saw that Su Dingfang's eyes were always fixed on Liu Heitai.
Now that everything is ready, let’s send Liu Heita to death!
Looking at Liu Heitai, who was still commanding the siege with high spirits, Lu Chen sneered. At this time, the shouts of death on the battlefield had automatically filtered out of Lu Chen's mind. Lu Chen held his breath and adjusted his breathing. Staring at Liu Heita through the eight-fold optical sight.
Finally, Lu Chen pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle. The roar of the battlefield covered up the sound of the sniper rifle. Through the scope, Lu Chen saw blood splattering out of Liu Heitao's chest, and his whole body seemed to have been hit by something. In the same way, he was knocked away from the horse directly under his crotch, and the position where he fell was right next to Su Dingfang.
When Lu Chen saw Liu Heitai being hit by a shot, he took out the flare gun he had prepared in advance and fired it into the sky. A red flare flew directly up and hung in the sky.
"It's here!" When a red signal flare appeared in the high sky, Li Xiuning, Tian Liu'an, Fang Qi, Meng Ji, and Su Dingfang, who was in Liu Heitai's army, all felt happy.
At the same time, Su Dingfang also saw Liu Heitai, who was shot away by Lu Chen. At this time, Liu Heitai was lying on the ground without making a sound. Liu Heitai, who had been commanding the siege in high spirits just now, now had a fist-sized hole in his chest. From the hole, blood gurgled out like a spring.
"Big gift!" These two words flashed through Su Dingfang's mind like a sharp flash, and Su Dingfang immediately understood what the "big gift" Lu Chen was talking about was, that was Liu Heitai's head!
"Commander!" Seeing Liu Heitai fall to the ground, the deputy general next to Liu Heitai shouted loudly, and at this moment, Su Dingfang raised his knife and cut off Liu Heitai's head, directly Lifted up.
"Liu Heitai has been executed! Everyone, those who surrender will be spared death!" Su Dingfang held a horse in one hand and Liu Heitao's head in the other, shouting loudly, while the generals of the left vanguard army following Su Dingfang He also shouted and drank loudly.
When the voice spread out, Liu Heitai's troops immediately became confused. Even the siege troops were stagnant. Because there was no commander, the soldiers didn't know what to do next. The siege offensive suddenly stopped. stopped.
At the same time, the East Gate of Weizhou City lowered the suspension bridge and opened the city gate wide. Fang Qi and Meng Ji led the troops to rush out, followed by 5,000 soldiers under Li Xiuning. They walked out of the East Gate and occupied the city directly. On the left side of the east gate, Tian Liuan was behind him. The soldiers who led Weizhou City also rushed out and occupied the right side of the east gate. In the passage between the two armies, Li Xiuning also came out of the east gate riding a jade lion, writing The handsome figure with the characters "李" and "宁" is fluttering in the wind.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" the 15,000-strong army shouted loudly as they approached Liu Heita's army.
At this time, because Su Dingfang had beheaded Liu Heitai, the entire army was in chaos. Liu Shishan, who had been following Liu Heitai, saw that his brother had been beheaded by Su Dingfang, so he directly led his team to follow Liu Heitai's left vanguard. The army started fighting, but unfortunately compared to Liu Heitai, Liu Shishan's ability was in the sky and on the earth. As for his ability to lead troops, he couldn't compare with Su Dingfang.
"Repay my brother's life! You are a rip-off!" Liu Shishan yelled at Su Dingfang, brandishing his spear and rushed towards Su Dingfang. As a result, before he could rush in front of Su Dingfang, he was hit by Su Dingfang. Liang Wen was stopped, but within a few rounds of the fight, Liang Wen shot him to the core.
Liang Wen directly struggled with his arms, and the spear directly lifted Liu Shishan up from the horse.
"Liu Heita and Liu Shishan have been executed. If there is anyone else who wants to die, just come here!" Liang Wen, who was all hair and beard, was also murderous. He directly picked Liu Shishan with a gun and shouted loudly, looking around at himself, Su Dingfang and others. A group of generals gathered around.
When the generals led by Liu Shishan who wanted to avenge Liu Heitai saw such a brutal Liang Wen, they all reined in their horses and stopped, and some even turned their horses' heads and led their men away from the battlefield.
On one side, Su Dingfang was making a big fuss with the Chinese army, and his men kept shouting slogans: "Liu Heitai and Liu Shishan are dead, those who surrender will be spared." On the other side, Li Xiuning's army pressed forward step by step, shouting: "Those who surrender will be spared." do not kill!"
Under attack from both sides, many soldiers put down their weapons and stood obediently. Then soldiers from Weizhou City came out to guard these prisoners. At this time, Su Dingfang led Liang Wen and others, holding the two brothers Liu Heitai and Liu Shishan. The heads rushed out of the Chinese army and came directly to Li Xiuning.
