Two hundred and ninety-ninth nine rat bogeyman

The army repaired for a night. The next day, it was dawn. Fang Li took the vanguard of 20,000 soldiers to the camp as the vanguard. Xian Yuwu did not expect that there were so many enemy troops, and he was surrounded by groups without investigation.

The walls of Beiqu are not high, and can be simply climbed up with a ladder, which is not enough to rely on heavy troops to resist heavy troops, but Xian Yuwu had no intention of leading his army out of the city to fight in the field.

He knew very well that although the grassland warriors were brave and good at fighting, they would definitely pay a heavy price even if they won.

The four Baidi tribes are far less harmonious than they seem on the surface. As their strength increases and decreases, Xian Yuwu cannot bet on these 20,000 elite soldiers.

When he heard that the Tang army, which had once decided against the Qin army, came, Xian Yuwu was stunned and knew that he could only get the trump card at one time.

"There is no other way, drive the common people to the city!" Xian Yuwu viciously wiped away the remaining wine stains on his mouth, "Tell those people in the Central Plains that every step forward, they would cut off the heads of ten elderly, weak, women and children!"

Fang Li divided his troops to defend the four-sided city gates of Beiqu and concentrated his main forces outside the North Gate to prevent Xian Yuwu from leading his army to break through the siege and heading north.

After the formation was completed, Fang Li, the Central Army of the Mahathon, looked at the Bai Di guards on the city tower from afar. These guards did not change their true colors in the grassland cavalry even in infantry battles. They were carrying sabers wrapped in leather on their waists and horse bows and arrows behind them, which did not look like they were guarding the city at all.

Compared to the Tang army, which was disciplined and had a 40,000 army but was quiet enough to hear the sound of the needle, the Baidi people on the city tower seemed much more scattered. Even when the troops were approaching the city, the battle was about to break out, and when they were happy, the arrogant laughter could even be faintly heard in Fang Li and others.

"These barbarians are too arrogant!" Gao Shun gritted his teeth, "Lord, let's go to the camp first."

"Don't worry, let the crossbowmen line up first." Fang Liyao looked at the loose guards on the city wall, and always felt something was wrong. "These Baidi people looked too relaxed, and they must have a backup plan."

Gao Shun nodded and forced himself to suppress his restlessness.

After a while, the enemy troops on the city tower seemed to be very regretful to see that the Tang army had no intention of attacking for a long time. They cursed and shouted into the city. Soon, more than a thousand old, weak and old women and children in ragged clothes and tied into a string of straw ropes staggered up to the city tower, and stood in a row outside the city under the forced force of Bai Di soldiers.

At the same time, a soldier who knew the words of the Central Plains shouted on the city: "Listen to the Tang people under the city. Every time you go further, we will cut off the heads of ten people! After killing these thousand, there are still some in the city!"

As soon as the soldiers finished speaking, a terrifying cry sounded instantly from the city tower:

"Please save me!"

"These people do what they say, please let us live!"

"Please!"

...

"brute!"

Even though Rong Di had the mental preparation to treat the people as a shield, Fang Li couldn't help but blurt out when he saw it with his own eyes.

Looking at Zhang Liaogaoshun next to him, his eyes were already red from anger. His hands holding the reins rose, as if he treated the reins as those despicable Rongdi.

The city towers are all white-haired elderly people and weak women, and sometimes some children less than the height of the wheels. Everyone is skinny and can feel their fear and despair even if they are hundreds of meters away.

The Bai Di soldiers hid behind these people, with the sabers in their hands shining coldly. Occasionally, they made a move to pass through the throat of a commoner, and they burst into screams, and they burst into laughter. It was obvious that they regarded humiliating these unarmed old and weak as the source of pleasure.

Fang Li's eyes became more and more sinister, and he had already sentenced these beasts to death in his heart.

"Camp on the spot!" Fang Li stared at the city wall and ordered Jia Xu who was waiting beside him word by word, "Let the Bai army find a way to contact the inner guards in the city and find out the place where the young and strong people are imprisoned!"

Xian Yuwu was in the city guard's mansion and indulged in eating and drinking with two ten thousand men. His years of experience in fighting with the people of the Central Plains made him very convinced that even if the people who came were not Koreans but Tang people, he would still have the same nature of not daring to attack the people.

Anyway, with the people in hand, when the Korean army that Guyong was dealt with and supported, they could attack the 90,000 Tang troops who were ignorant of their lives and death, and maybe the territory of the Xianyu family could continue to expand eastward.

About a quarter of an hour later, the personal soldiers carrying sabers rushed into the lobby: "Master, the Tang army is camping on the spot!"

"Oh?" Xian Yuwu's eyes lit up, "They didn't attack?"

The personal soldiers clasped their fists: "Yes, there was no temptation. After seeing the people on the city tower, the Tang army quickly began to camp."

"Hahaha, the people in the Central Plains are indeed a bunch of cowards!" Xian Yuwu couldn't help laughing to the sky, "How could a group of cowardly little lambs be the opponent of the wolf pack!"

Xian Yuzhong signaled his personal soldiers to retreat quickly, and then asked Xian Yuwu with a smile: "Master, should you drive those people out of the city to fight and take down those Tang troops in one go?"

"No, don't be so anxious." Xian Yuwu picked up the wine jar and drank a big gulp. "No matter how cowardly the flock of sheep is, there are 90,000. It's too unpaid for the warriors of the tribe to break here. Let's talk about it when Guyong ends."

Speaking of Guyong, Xian Yuzhong couldn't help but show a confused expression: "I heard that the Korean army only has 40,000 to 50,000, and Guyong is all elite soldiers of the Gu clan. Why has it been two or three days since there was no movement? There won't be any accident, right?"

"No, what can happen to those vulnerable Korean soldiers?" Riwobuki smiled, "That kid has always liked to catch cats and mice, and now he must be making those Korean soldiers go around!"

Xian Yuwu smashed his mouth unhappily and ordered someone to call a messenger: "Go, tell Guyong the situation here and let him fight quickly! Otherwise, this big fish would be swallowed by our Xian Yu family!"

As night fell, wisps of smoke began to rise in the Tang camp. Even on the way, the Tang army's food was always very good. Three meals a day were dried, and they could eat meat the next day.

Today is the day to eat meat. The big pieces of meat were thrown into the pot by the chef. After a while, the strong meat fragrance filled the air in the camp.

If it were in the past, everyone would not be able to walk when they smelled the meat, and their hearts and eyes were filled with the meal soon, so they could have a full meal, but today was a little different.

Not only were the cooks a little absent-minded, but the already hungry soldiers were also unwilling to care about whether the food was good or not. The scene on the city wall during the day was deeply imprinted in their brains.

Especially the 20,000 soldiers who stood at the forefront and saw the clearest clearly were now full of hatred for the cruel and unjust Rong Di, and the confusion of what to do if they were ordered to siege the city.
