315 Take Hengluosi 2
Behind the huge shield, Heizi ran up to Li You and said to him: "Young Master, Tuqi Shiren dare not show up anymore, or... I just attack the city right now, if I can't really take it down."
Li You also saw it just now. After they accurately shot hundreds of people, no one could be seen on the wall, but he knew one thing very well, that is, if you really want to attack the city, the other party will definitely do anything at all costs. Rebelling, after all, there are still more than two thousand people defending the city. This is not a small number. He has to slowly consume them. If they don't consume people to a certain level, they can't attack the city.
"Withdraw troops, we will come back tonight." After Li You finished speaking, he asked people to start to retreat.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Elvetler had lost five hundred people, and most of them were directly killed, and he was so angry that he dropped several cups. In the past few days, he has managed to force a thousand people into the city to serve as guards. He has lost so many people before starting the fight. This is something he can't accept anyway.
"Talwu, do you have a way to deal with Tang Jun?" Elvetler asked.
"Khan, there are too many archers in the Tang Army, and we have too few people to deal with it. Unless we recruit more people in the city, we will not be able to guard the city." New Bayi Chinese website first published https://https://
Of course Elvetler knew that, but now there are more than 10,000 people in the city, and more than 1,000 people have been conscripted in the middle of life. If he is forced to conquer again, he is afraid that the residents of the city will be dissatisfied. The real Khan, if he were to force a conscript again, it would be hard for him to imagine what would happen.
"Just the remaining two thousand people, how long can you hold on?" Elvetler asked again.
Talwu said helplessly: "Khan, I can hold it for three days at most. After three days, I am not sure I can hold the city."
Elvetler sighed and sat down. For three days, this was of no use. He knew that unless he could hold it for at least ten days, otherwise, Tang Jun would not be able to retreat. However, he really hesitated about the forced conscription, he could only put it aside beforehand, and wait until tomorrow to see it.

At night, Li You brought people in black clothes and came to the city again with black faces. It should be because they were all dressed in black, and there was no lighting. It was really hard to spot them on the city. When the wailing was spreading over several walls, no one dared to stand on the walls anymore.
Seeing that no one dared to show his head, Li You ordered to stop work and go back. Although less than two hundred people were killed, this is already very good. Wait until tomorrow to grind out a few guard soldiers. If the situation is good, you can try Attacking the city, if you are lucky, you might be able to take down the city of Hengluosi tomorrow.
At dawn the next day, just before dawn, Li You called people to attack the city. Of course, they still pretended to attack and planned to continue shooting with the sharpshooter as they did yesterday. However, there are only a few people on the top of the city carrying shields to observe the situation, and they are already much more cautious than yesterday. It is already very difficult to shoot the opponent like yesterday.
"Marshal, what should we do now? They can't shrink back, and we don't dare to attack the city, how is this good?" Seeing that there was no chance, Li Fei Shouyu came to Li You to ask.
"Don't worry, they are waiting for the opportunity, I will give them this opportunity, anyway, there is no place to stand on the other side of the moat, wait, I will call people to attack the city, if you are ready to shoot, you don't care about the rest. After Li You finished speaking, he summoned Feng Yao and arranged it.
After a while, Feng Yao led someone to light a torch and stepped on the siege ladder to cross the river with a small pot filled with fierce fire oil. Seeing that Tang Jun had really attacked the city, the soldiers on the front of the city hurriedly prepared, but Tang Jun had already started throwing a large number of fierce fire oil cans at them with a stone thrower. Some of them also shot back with bows and arrows, but it worked. Not only was it not good, but some people died directly because of this. Now, it's just that some people smashed down the city with a shield in one hand and a small stone in the other.
Feng Yao didn’t take many people with him, only more than 20 people. They didn’t move slowly. When they reached the city on the other side, they lit the oil can and threw it on the wall. After finishing, they hurried from another place. The bamboo bridge built with the siege ladder was withdrawn. They are all Li You's personal guards, all wearing armor, and they are not afraid at all. Even if they are hit by arrows or smashed, they are at most injured, unless they are really bad luck and are hit on the head by a stone.
After more than 20 people had thrown out the oil cans in their hands, they all returned safely. Now that the city wall is really a sea of fire, Li You called a group of people to throw the oil cans. He had to expand the fire area on the city wall, and he had to make a section of the city wall vacant.
Seeing that the effect was good, Li You increased the investment of manpower, and continued to throw oil cans at both ends of the fired city wall to expand the scope. As the stone dumper began to throw fierce oil cans at both ends, now, There was already a sea of fire at both ends of this section of the city wall. Whether it was under the city wall, the city wall, or even inside the city, it was already burning. The fire was particularly strong. Seeing this, Li You stopped the stone dumping machine. The gadgets were too inaccurate, many were thrown into the city, and only a few fell on the wall.
"Li Fei Yuanli, you arrange for some people to follow my guards to attack the city wall. Remember, bring more shields and bring the big shields with you." After that, Li You also said to Heizi: "You Ask people to bring the giant crossbow up there, there is a giant crossbow, it must not be held here."
Seeing that the fire broke out on the city wall, the fire has become smaller. Li You really intends to let people attack the city. This is an excellent opportunity and should not be wasted.
On the wall, many turf soldiers jumped into the moat with their whole bodies on fire, but this is not of much use. Even if the fire is extinguished, as long as they show their heads, they are still waiting for death. There are dozens of sharpshooters on the bank. No one can survive.
After Li You's guards had prepared, they carried several siege ladders and placed them on the wall. They found a wall where the fire was already small and began to climb up the wall. Each of them covered their faces with damp cloth to prevent inhalation of black smoke. After a few people got on the city wall, they poured the fine soil they had on their backs on the ground that was still burning not far away. They had to clear a place where people could stand. When fifty people were on the wall, they had cleared a section of the wall that was ten feet long.
There was no way, the temperature here was still too high, and they followed the city wall and jumped into the river. The other fifty people who replaced them began to climb up to the city wall, and when they expanded the city wall by a few meters again, they followed the city wall and jumped into the river.
When they were soaked, they took a package with fine soil on the city wall again, this time they also brought shields and spears. After expanding nearly ten feet away, the guards began to form a formation on the city wall. Feather arrows had flown towards them just now. If it were not for a long distance, the feather arrows were not strong, and they had armor on them, it is estimated that there would be a lot of them. Everyone has been hit by arrows.
